The Glenn Beck Program - Alternative National Anthems ｜ Guest： Dr. Benjamin Merkle ｜ 7⧸15⧸20

00:00:00.000 Let me tell you about Rough Greens.

00:00:01.860 Rough Greens is something that has totally changed my dog's life, really has.

00:00:06.960 Changed our life, too.

00:00:08.660 We started giving him Rough Greens after the last trip up to the ranch,

00:00:12.100 and it was so nasty because we had to take turns.

00:00:16.220 Every day we were like, no, it's not my turn to feed the dog.

00:00:18.860 Yes, it is.

00:00:19.780 Now, normally kids are like that, but when the adults are like that, it's a problem.

00:00:24.140 And the problem is that Uno had to be hand-fed.

00:00:28.200 He wouldn't eat unless you stood there with him and started, look, here's some food.

00:00:33.180 Yum, yum, yum.

00:00:34.120 I mean, it was like playing airplane with your dog every day.

00:00:37.680 Horrible.

00:00:39.120 So we started putting Rough Greens on top of it, and it is something that's really, really good.

00:00:43.760 We talked to our vet, and the vet said, please give this to them.

00:00:48.160 It's really good, jam-packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, omega oils, and probiotics.

00:00:53.000 It's all the stuff that's cooked out usually.

00:00:55.600 You can get it at Rough Greens, ruffgreens.com, slash Beck.

00:01:11.560 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment.

00:01:16.560 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:43.200 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:47.740 So we are awash in this ocean of bad news and bad karma, man.

00:01:57.020 It's like, really, you're hushing my mellow on the United States of America.

00:02:01.600 So I'm going to flip the script this hour.

00:02:05.820 I want to tell you some good things that are going on as people are starting to stand up.

00:02:11.060 People are starting to see that this is not good.

00:02:14.420 And I also would like to remind you of some history.

00:02:20.920 I've been looking at a lot of American art, a lot of Norman Rockwell, things like that,

00:02:29.260 trying to find the spirit of America and what is it that we have really lost.

00:02:37.200 And the thing that we've lost is the truth.

00:02:39.480 That's it.

00:02:40.100 The truth of our story.

00:02:41.560 And it didn't come from Norman Rockwell.

00:02:44.720 The truth of our story is so much powerful, so much more powerful than any image anyone can create.

00:02:52.360 But we haven't told that story for a while.

00:02:54.940 Now we're being told that everybody in this country has always been racist.

00:02:59.240 Absolutely not true.

00:03:01.200 And I want to tell you a story you've never heard of American history. 0.76

00:03:05.420 And if you're an African-American, it should piss you off a little bit. 1.00

00:03:10.080 Who took my history from me? 0.97

00:03:12.240 We go there in 60 seconds.

00:03:14.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:17.180 You know, the Internet is a great place, but also an incredibly dangerous place.

00:03:23.880 And that goes double if you have kids, because your kids, if they're anything like my kids,

00:03:28.640 they're on devices using the Internet all the time.

00:03:31.380 And while your kids may like you to think that they've got all this technology stuff mastered,

00:03:37.100 they don't.

00:03:38.380 Cyber criminals are clever.

00:03:39.700 There are a lot more of them these days, and they are looking for the weak spot in your Internet defenses,

00:03:45.420 especially when it comes to your children.

00:03:47.680 We had Tim Ballard on from Operation Underground Rescue or Railroad,

00:03:53.760 and he was talking yesterday about how this is the pedophiles and the people who are targeting our kids

00:04:00.800 actually call this harvest season.

00:04:04.080 They say that the COVID virus is so good for the harvest of children.

00:05:37.620 All right, I want to take you back to the end of the Revolutionary War.

00:05:42.780 Battle ravaged New England.

00:05:45.780 People were trying to put their lives back together.

00:05:48.080 And there was a veteran soldier who applied for and received a license to open a new ministry in New England.

00:05:54.240 He had been training as a minister during the war years, writing his own sermons,

00:05:58.800 preaching both to his fellow soldiers at Fort Ticonderoga and his small but growing home parish

00:06:04.960 when he was discharged from Washington's army.

00:06:09.600 Well, during the war, he served as a minute man.

00:06:13.180 And there were a bunch of volunteers from Granville, New York.

00:06:16.300 And they marched on Roxbury, Massachusetts, following the battles of Lexington and Concord in 75.

00:06:22.600 And then in 76, following the Continental Army's victory over the British at Fort Ticonderoga,

00:06:30.200 his military unit was garrisoned to guard the fort against the British and Loyalist reprisals.

00:06:38.120 He served with honor and valor and bravery.

00:06:43.600 Now, this is a story that you're not going to hear about America because it doesn't fit the narrative anymore.

00:06:50.700 But it is important that you know it.

00:06:53.500 If we're going to preserve the country, the first thing we have to do is preserve the truth of our history.

00:06:58.860 This guy had come from very simple means.

00:07:04.400 He was actually an indentured servant.

00:07:08.380 Now, this is something that happened to both whites and blacks.

00:07:12.540 You would, in his case, his family sold him into indentured servitude.

00:07:19.420 And what that meant was you would, let's say, you're coming across the ocean.

00:07:24.000 Somebody else would pay for your trip across the ocean, but then you had to work that off and you didn't get paid.

00:07:30.120 You were an indentured servant for X number of years.

00:07:33.460 So he was an indentured servant at the age of five.

00:07:37.180 And he was raised by a blind farmer named Deacon David Rose.

00:07:41.540 His wife taught him how to read and write.

00:07:43.980 And at the age of 14, he was sitting at the table and he took his turn reading a sermon to the family because they would do weekly worship service after dinner.

00:07:55.340 Well, Deacon Rose was really impressed with the boy's oratory skills.

00:07:59.640 And he said, really nice reading.

00:08:01.540 And who is the sermon from?

00:08:04.880 Well, the boy said, well, me, I wrote the sermon.

00:08:10.100 That's when Deacon Rose knew he had somebody special in his house and he introduced him to the local Calvinist minister who continued his education in theology up until his 18th year when his indentured servitude ended.

00:08:26.320 That's the year he joined the Continental Army.

00:08:29.400 Well, by 1781, he had founded his own local parish in Middle Granville.

00:08:36.180 By 1785, he was fully ordained by the Massachusetts and Connecticut Calvinist Church and sent on a church mission to find and found a new parish in the Republic of Vermont.

00:08:49.180 He was instrumental in pushing for statehood for Vermont.

00:08:54.900 He was a prolific author, writing as a key advocate for the abolition of slavery.

00:09:00.680 His essays and his sermons were published in newspapers all over the United States.

00:09:06.800 And a collection of his writings was kept in the White House by George Washington.

00:09:11.220 He was a minister of his Vermont parish for 30 years.

00:09:15.740 He had a faithful congregation that was mostly white, but it did accept black and mulatto parishioners as well.

00:09:22.740 And during that time, he helped found additional churches in New York and New Jersey, New Hampshire and Delaware.

00:09:29.080 He was frequently invited to speak at colleges on the issues of theology and the abolition of slavery and the rights of man.

00:09:37.440 In fact, his writings are quoted in Thomas Jefferson's first inaugural address.

00:09:44.820 Jefferson quoted him.

00:09:46.140 And again, in a letter that Jefferson wrote to the British ambassador in 1802, when he said Jefferson, quoting him, quote, liberty is equally as precious to a black man as it is to a white one and bondage as equally as intolerable to one as it is to the other.

00:10:05.060 End quote.

00:10:07.020 That was a line that Jefferson wrote to the British.

00:10:10.460 But he didn't write it himself in 1804.

00:10:15.740 He was awarded an honorary master of the arts in theology.

00:10:20.940 In 1805 to 1817, he developed friendships with James Madison, the father of the Constitution, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster.

00:10:29.520 With their support, he advocated strongly that God's providence would eventually lead to the overthrow of slavery in the United States and that the natural rights of all mankind, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness would lead to unparalleled blessings of prosperity for the new nation.

00:10:46.320 He advocated for republicanism and equal rights in pamphlets that he co-authored with James Madison.

00:10:54.480 He spent 30 years in Vermont and he was called to open a new church in New York, which, again, was non segregated, mostly white.

00:11:01.880 They openly accepted freed black and mixed race worshipers as well.

00:11:05.920 Not a problem.

00:11:06.580 In New York, he established one of the first touring church choirs, black and white singers.

00:11:12.480 They were invited to and performed at the White House as a guest of John Quincy Adams, both white and black.

00:11:18.900 He died in 1833.

00:11:21.860 He was 80 years old.

00:11:23.820 The church he founded in Vermont, one of the oldest continuously operating houses of worship in the United States.

00:11:29.920 It was designated by Gerald Ford as a national heritage landmark in 75.

00:11:34.180 In 86, Ronald Reagan called him one of the founding fathers of the Republican Party.

00:11:39.040 Since his writings effectively became the foundational platform the party adopted when it was formed 20 years after he passed away.

00:11:48.420 Now, maybe you don't think the the life of this guy, his name was Lemuel Haynes.

00:11:54.860 Maybe you don't think it's all that remarkable that the indentured servant to a blind farmer would serve as a minute man to George Washington. 0.98

00:12:03.180 Later become a minister in New England in several congregations to be ordained an officer in his church, receive a master's degree in theology and an advocate for the abolition of slavery.

00:12:15.420 Perhaps that's just another American story.

00:12:20.820 A good, faithful man enjoyed success for his hard work and is widely accepted.

00:12:25.080 And perhaps that would be true if Lemuel Haynes wasn't black. 0.98

00:12:35.820 Born to a black father and a white mother, a serving girl in 1753.

00:12:41.280 This goes against the narrative you're now hearing accepted as a soldier in George Washington's army licensed by the state of Massachusetts to form a congregation and preach in local communities, founding his own church house, which was attended mainly by whites.

00:13:00.720 Ordained a minister, the first black man to achieve that office in U.S.

00:13:05.080 History, sent on a mission to found a new church in Vermont territory, awarded a master's degree in theology, the first black man to achieve that honor, invited to speak at universities all over the United States.

00:13:17.120 I didn't think that was allowed to happen.

00:13:20.460 Faithfully supported by most of mostly a white congregation in Vermont, New York, Massachusetts.

00:13:26.540 His writings published and co-authored by James Madison and Henry Clay, his mixed-race choir invited to sing at the White House.

00:13:40.480 In what we're now told is the most racist nation in the history of the world, whose entire history and identity is based on racial intolerance.

00:13:49.080 And he was black. 0.85

00:13:52.280 How does that fit?

00:13:56.540 That Lemuel Haynes lived and thrived is indeed a classic American story.

00:14:02.340 It's a heroic story.

00:14:04.420 He should be remembered, not because he was a black man, but because his story is representative of hundreds of thousands of similar stories of Americans of all races.

00:14:15.320 Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Indian, who against all odds persevered and achieved their dreams.

00:14:23.320 Their dreams made a difference, broke new ground, taught their peers to reach a little higher, to think a little deeper, to pursue happiness as they saw fit.

00:14:38.400 Lemuel Haynes is all the more remarkable still for his humbleness and his faith, despite all that he had achieved during his lifetime.

00:14:46.520 He wrote his own epitaph, which still adorns his burial place in Vermont.

00:14:52.100 Here lies the dust of a poor, hell-deserving sinner, who ventured into eternity trusting wholly on the merits of Christ for salvation.

00:15:04.580 In the full belief of the great doctrines he preached while on earth, he invites his children, and all who read this, to trust their eternal interest in that same foundation.

00:15:18.120 That is the truth of America.

00:15:27.300 American Financing, NMLS, 182334, www.mlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:15:33.600 All right, these past few months, mortgage rates have fallen to all-time lows so many times that it's almost starting to feel a little routine, isn't it?

00:15:42.660 But if thinking of it that way makes you hesitate, makes you think that you can put it off, then you need to get that idea out of your head.

00:15:50.360 You need to start saving money right now.

00:15:53.060 You need to stop paying the banks more than you have to.

00:15:58.100 If you're having trouble meeting your mortgage because you've been laid off or because of COVID, you can save so much money by refinancing right now and not resetting your loan.

00:16:09.560 If you have high-interest credit card debt, roll that in.

00:16:13.220 There are millions of Americans right now that have the opportunity to save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars every month by refinancing their mortgages.

00:16:21.700 And you could be one of them.

00:16:23.080 Think about it.

00:16:23.620 What could you do if you had a few hundred or even a thousand bucks back in your pocket every month?

00:16:28.700 Do yourself a favor.

00:16:40.340 800-906-2440.

00:16:43.480 It's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:16:46.980 10 seconds, Station ID.

00:16:53.620 Oh, yeah.

00:17:02.740 So there's a couple of things here going on that I think are also good news.

00:17:08.820 Defying the defund the police movement.

00:17:11.120 There are some companies that are backing the blue.

00:17:14.960 And we need to do more than just say, hey, thanks, police officers.

00:17:24.120 Ford, last week, some employees of Ford wrote an open letter to the CEO to stop production of the law enforcement vehicles, including the Ford Police Interceptor.

00:17:33.360 But their CEO said, no, I don't think we're going to do that.

00:17:39.760 It may be controversial for Ford to make the police interceptor, but it helps officers do their job.

00:17:47.440 Axon, the technology company that supplies police with non-lethal weapons such as tasers, defends its continued production of the weapons.

00:17:57.240 The director of the board said in a statement, the transparency and accountability provided by body cams aren't magical solutions to prevent deaths, but they do give a clearer picture of what is happening.

00:18:12.400 Edgard Watches, the luxury watch company, released a pro-law enforcement ad that showed police and a dog rescue.

00:18:20.880 The company's CEO said he did the ad because he felt like our politicians, the media, companies around the country, they're turning their back on police and it's got to stop.

00:18:31.460 Chick-fil-A, the first fast food restaurant, was under fire from some chains distributing shirts supporting the pro-law enforcement organization Blue Lives Matter.

00:18:42.520 Back the blue, their new t-shirts say.

00:18:45.200 Five Guys, after three police officers were denied service at a Five Guys restaurant in Alabama, the company said it had fired some of the employees and others would receive additional training.

00:18:57.140 Five Guys in Alabama, the franchise, wanted to thank the police department for their support in working together towards a resolution.

00:19:04.420 As we uphold our commitment to fair, respectful, and equal treatment for all customers, please know the actions and sentiments of a few employees in Alabama don't represent Five Guys in the local franchisee.

00:19:18.480 And Google, an employee petition requesting that Google leadership ban police from using all Google products, received over 1,100 signatures.

00:19:29.840 The CEO issued a statement condemning racial injustice, but said products such as Gmail, Google Suite, Google Cloud Platform would remain available to all.

00:19:45.120 And NASCAR.

00:19:47.420 NASCAR is introducing a car, has the American flag, a blue line designed for police officers, and back the blue hashtag.

00:19:55.720 They're doing other things as well at NASCAR.

00:19:59.820 They're partnering with Wounded Blue, an organization supporting police officers wounded in the line of duty.

00:20:05.200 Everywhere you turn today, good, hardworking police officers are under attack.

00:20:09.340 We want to show law enforcement officers that we got their backs.

00:20:13.220 What can you do in your life?

00:20:17.080 What can we do in our life to help police officers?

00:20:22.220 Yeah, did you see this video, Glenn, of the officer who helped the baby who was, you know, choking?

00:20:32.740 And it's on the dash cam, and you see these parents just panicking, and the mom is just, you know, screaming.

00:20:37.960 Her child is choking in front of her, losing its life.

00:20:42.580 And here's the police officer, just steps in, calmly, you know, performs all the operating, you know, the CPR, whatever the heck he had to do.

00:20:49.320 He clears the path, the airway, does all the stuff.

00:20:51.660 And it's like, this stuff happens every day, and you never hear about it.

00:20:55.040 Every day, these guys are out there doing things like that.

00:20:57.600 Every day.

00:20:57.920 And then the one time one police officer does something wrong, it's the constant news for months.

00:21:04.640 It is just so completely unfair to these guys, the way that they're treated in this country.

00:21:11.560 So, there's another story.

00:21:13.560 Battling substance abuse since the age of 11, Kenneth Bearden suffered over 30 overdoses.

00:21:18.700 Police officers have helped to revive him more than a dozen times.

00:21:23.660 Today, Kenneth is six years sober.

00:21:26.800 He said to his son, you wouldn't have a dad today if it wasn't for those police officers.

00:21:33.420 Spencer Bohan, a nonverbal child with autism, doesn't have a sense of danger, so when he goes missing, it's life or death, said his mother.

00:21:41.440 When he climbed out of his bedroom window, he went missing.

00:21:45.580 The Roanoke County police came.

00:21:47.520 They found him within 12 minutes of searching.

00:21:50.660 Our police officers do an awful lot.

00:21:54.340 And I can't take Portland.

00:21:57.180 Did you see what Portland, they're saying to the feds?

00:22:00.560 To get out of town, we don't want you here.

00:22:02.820 The people, the businesses and the people of Portland are being just butchered by violence.

00:22:12.740 Their economy is, I mean, as far as I'm concerned, look, you're in your own state.

00:22:17.060 You're in your own city.

00:22:18.140 You do what you want.

00:22:20.380 But there comes a point where the good people that don't necessarily agree with all the violence,

00:22:27.220 they need some protection as well.

00:22:29.880 And the feds have come in, and they're just trying to protect the courthouses, the federal buildings.

00:22:37.840 And the mayor of Portland said, get out or stay in your buildings.

00:22:43.260 We don't want you here because of the violence, the violence that the feds bring.

00:22:49.820 World's upside down, but I think she's starting to wake up a bit.

00:23:07.240 and then getting up and pulling all those nails out in the morning.

00:23:10.440 But it might not be the best or most fun thing to do.

00:23:15.460 But maybe it keeps the burglars out.

00:24:31.620 Have you had your second tower moment yet?

00:24:34.940 We all had.

00:24:36.220 Remember, if you were alive during September 11th, you remember the first tower being hit.

00:24:41.980 And what did we all say?

00:24:44.140 Wow, that's weird.

00:24:46.000 That's holy cow. 1.00

00:24:47.740 That's really bad.

00:24:48.980 Was that a jetliner?

00:24:51.120 There must have been, I mean, like, how did they, how did the pilot not just steer away from that?

00:24:56.100 Even if he had a heart attack, what about the other pilot we were trying to figure out?

00:25:00.400 Then the second tower was hit and all of us said, we're under attack.

00:25:06.640 Have you had your second tower moment yet?

00:25:10.500 That moment where you go, oh crap, this is not just something that's happening.

00:25:16.800 We're actually under attack tonight.

00:25:19.940 We will show you the war on the nuclear family. 0.84

00:25:22.960 One of the things that Black Lives Matter is in their, their, their founding documents to destroy the nuclear family. 1.00

00:25:59.720 Pat Gray joins us now with another fact of history that has just been changed.

00:26:05.440 And, um, most people don't even know.

00:26:08.620 Yeah.

00:26:08.960 Uh, just by the way, glad to see you're rocking the ascot again today.

00:26:13.340 That's it.

00:26:14.100 It's comforting.

00:26:15.000 It's somehow comforting.

00:26:16.320 It's a mask.

00:26:17.140 Yeah.

00:26:17.320 We'll say in the COVID era.

00:26:18.200 Does it double?

00:26:18.840 It's pretty common.

00:26:19.740 Is that what you use it for?

00:26:20.800 A little bandana situation.

00:26:22.160 We were wondering, we were thinking, okay, it's an ascot, but is it also a mask?

00:26:25.500 And I guess the answer is yes.

00:26:26.860 No, no, it's a, it's a bandana actually.

00:26:29.920 I know you have a hard time with those, but go ahead.

00:26:35.440 I do.

00:26:36.080 I have an even harder time with, with this, uh, Plymouth plantation changed.

00:26:41.500 They're not their name.

00:26:42.620 Not that they're changing their name.

00:26:45.420 It's already been changed.

00:26:48.060 The Plymouth plantation living museum, 400 years old, uh, changed to be more inclusive

00:26:55.860 and respectful and it is now Plymouth Patuxet to include the native Americans that live

00:27:03.720 in that region or lived in that region at the time of this.

00:27:07.120 So, okay.

00:27:07.360 Okay.

00:27:07.580 So, so wait a minute.

00:27:08.340 Hang on just a second.

00:27:09.340 Wait a minute.

00:27:09.880 The pilgrims, um, they happened to find the land.

00:27:16.300 And if you find this coincidental, they happened to find the land that was abandoned by the

00:27:24.680 native Americans because the native Americans felt that that land was cursed because a tribe

00:27:30.980 had been wiped out with some disease, um, years before.

00:27:35.160 And so it was completely abandoned.

00:27:38.180 So how does that, what, how we're changing it to an Indian name?

00:27:45.180 Yeah.

00:27:45.660 Yes.

00:27:46.000 What are you talking about?

00:27:47.080 And by the way, the Patuxet people have been extinct since 1622.

00:27:51.320 So they're not even around to realize this honor that they're being given.

00:27:56.420 This was just that right.

00:28:00.500 I mean, this is nuts.

00:28:02.600 This is absolutely nuts.

00:28:04.280 They, and they are changing everything next hour.

00:28:08.160 We're going to show you they're trying.

00:28:09.400 There's an effort now to get rid of the national anthem as well.

00:28:12.680 It's a big effort too.

00:28:13.960 And it's got some momentum.

00:28:15.760 Huge.

00:28:16.960 Yeah.

00:28:18.020 Yeah, it does.

00:28:18.640 And you know, 16, uh, the 1619 project, do you know that Oprah Winfrey is now, uh, producing

00:28:26.360 a movie that's going to come out based on the 1619 project, which is a lie.

00:28:32.000 Wow.

00:28:32.560 It's a verifiable lie.

00:28:35.900 And she's, she's pushing that.

00:28:38.120 I mean, second tower gang, when are you going to have your second tower moment?

00:28:42.380 We are under attack and it is happening rapidly.

00:28:46.880 So fast, so fast.

00:28:48.560 I mean, things that you couldn't have imagined six months ago are already done.

00:28:53.560 Now that not only, not only are they not opposed, it's already been done and you don't even know

00:29:00.020 that it's happened.

00:29:00.740 I, you know, the star spangled banner, the statues that are being removed or being discussed to

00:29:05.680 be removed, the founders that are disparaged now, and you can't even say anything good about

00:29:10.240 the founders, all of, you know, how many times do you have to play the Michelle Obama thing?

00:29:15.740 Uh, they've, they've changed what they set out to do.

00:29:18.620 Michelle, what did, hang on, what was it that Barack knows?

00:29:22.460 And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices.

00:29:26.120 We're going to have to change our conversation.

00:29:28.960 We're going to have to change our traditions, our history.

00:29:31.860 We're going to have to move into a different place.

00:29:36.720 We are 10 years past the fundamental transformation of America.

00:29:43.620 This is what, in, in, in all of the warnings that we gave you, uh, when we were at Fox, I

00:29:50.480 mean, Pat, you were part of that research team, Stu, you were as well.

00:29:54.060 Um, all of that, can you name anything that we said was coming that isn't now here?

00:30:03.100 No, and I, I think in then some, I, there were, there were things that I don't think we could

00:30:07.620 have imagined back then that have already transpired.

00:30:10.540 And, uh, we put a very little fight on any of it.

00:30:14.940 It's, it's, well, there is, there's some, there's some good news.

00:30:19.140 Um, first of all, uh, voters, and according to a new poll, uh, majorities of almost all

00:30:26.440 demographic groups, uh, measured to see cancel culture.

00:30:30.120 They see it as bad.

00:30:31.900 Just under half of the voters under 45, hold that view among the voters, 46% see canceled,

00:30:39.000 uh, cancer, uh, canceled culture.

00:30:42.000 I don't know why I am because it is a cancer, uh, see it as bad.

00:30:46.600 26% say it's a good thing.

00:30:48.640 Now that is astonishing to think that 26% of Americans think this McCarthy era that we're

00:30:55.400 living in is a good thing.

00:30:57.360 But if you look back in the 1950s, this is what we went through with, with communism.

00:31:03.160 It was just the opposite.

00:31:04.940 You'd lose your job.

00:31:06.380 You were, you were convicted if accused.

00:31:09.360 Um, you know, it, it was, it was a witch hunt then, and it's a witch hunt now.

00:31:15.080 Uh, only 17% of voters see, uh, cancel culture as a good thing.

00:31:21.280 Um, the, the problem is, is, um, the, uh, very liberal voters, very, those who say that

00:31:32.660 they're very liberal, 31% see it as good, 37% see it as bad, 32% aren't sure.

00:31:41.200 You know, if you're not sure, you should probably do something to get sure one way or another.

00:31:46.960 There's, there's no, there's no place for you.

00:31:49.460 I just, I don't know, uh, rounding people up and just making them disappear.

00:31:57.020 Good, bad.

00:31:58.420 I'm not sure.

00:31:59.300 It's so hard to decide on matters like that.

00:32:03.100 And what do you guys think?

00:32:04.260 Do you figure that stuff out before or after you vote?

00:32:07.980 Is there a time, is there a specific order you need to do these things in?

00:32:10.760 Like, do you learn and then say, figure it out and then learn?

00:32:14.320 Mm-hmm.

00:32:15.360 Yeah.

00:32:15.580 I would say, figure it out now.

00:32:17.280 You know, who's figuring it out are the Christians in California. 0.99

00:32:19.900 I just said yesterday, churches, you better wake up and you better stand up.

00:32:24.200 I believe I condemned people to hell yesterday, which, well, I didn't actually, um, I didn't

00:32:32.640 condemn them.

00:32:33.560 I just know that they're going to hell, uh, but you're not their judge. 0.99

00:32:37.940 I mean, all you're saying is they're going to burn the fires of hell. 0.98

00:32:40.640 That's all.

00:32:41.180 I mean, that's yeah.

00:32:43.060 Everlasting and eternal fire.

00:32:44.620 Yeah.

00:32:45.260 That lake of ever, ever burning fire.

00:32:48.380 Yeah.

00:32:48.520 They're, they're there.

00:32:49.820 Um, but, uh, I'm not their judge anyway.

00:32:52.500 Um, yesterday I was talking about churches waking up and it looks like in California,

00:32:57.400 it is starting to happen.

00:32:59.320 Uh, some of the church leaders are saying they are not going to shut down again, San Francisco

00:33:05.500 and the American Russian Orthodox arch archbishop, uh, wrote a open letter to, uh, governor Newsom

00:33:13.480 said, um, that, uh, his ban on singing is open discrimination reminiscent of, uh, reminiscent

00:33:24.100 of the era of the godless persecutions in the USSR. 0.98

00:33:28.700 It's about time somebody starts using this, uh, language.

00:33:32.080 Um, we now observe the contradiction that in mass protests that are taking place, which,

00:33:38.900 uh, which absolutely all precautions are violated with impunity, adding the church, uh, into saying

00:33:48.660 that you have to close down.

00:33:50.400 They said they will defend their rights of the members to continue to worship.

00:33:55.160 And there are lots of churches that are starting to rise up and that's in California and they

00:34:01.260 need to, you can't lose the right of your religion and your faith and to worship.

00:34:08.280 That is a protected right.

00:34:10.640 And I love the fact that all the politicians are saying, uh, you know what protest?

00:34:14.740 That's a first amendment, right?

00:34:16.760 So is my house of worship.

00:34:20.160 And you need to stand together as Christians, as Jews, whoever we need to stand together.

00:34:28.760 Uh, cause you know, we can argue about theology for a long time and we'll all be destroyed

00:34:34.720 doing that.

00:34:35.560 What do you say?

00:34:36.500 We stand together now, uh, and stand up for the things that we all believe in.

00:34:41.440 And then we can argue about the other stuff later.

00:34:45.120 I'm just saying.

00:34:46.300 And they're so blatant about it.

00:34:47.560 We had this speech from de Blasio.

00:34:49.860 Was it last week or the week before where he was asked, well, Hey, how can you, uh, how

00:34:54.920 can you say, because there was a BLM protest coming up and he was perfectly fine with that.

00:34:59.100 Uh, but he didn't want people going back to church.

00:35:01.200 And so they asked him about that disparity.

00:35:03.420 And he said, well, you can't compare the two.

00:35:05.480 Those are apples and oranges because, uh, the BLM people are doing something really important. 0.63

00:35:09.980 Wait, what?

00:35:11.900 Oh my gosh.

00:35:13.280 Oh my gosh.

00:35:14.740 So they've just, oh my gosh.

00:35:16.720 They don't care anymore.

00:35:17.420 It's like you said, the mask is off.

00:35:20.240 Uh, obviously figuratively speaking, it's on literally speaking, but they've taken off

00:35:25.880 the mask about how they really feel about religion, about capitalism, about this country

00:35:30.840 and everything it stands for.

00:35:32.440 Our founders, it's just all out there in the open.

00:35:35.680 And if this doesn't alarm us to the point of taking a stand, nothing will.

00:35:42.020 Nothing will.

00:35:43.060 Nothing will.

00:35:43.620 I read an op-ed page yesterday, um, about, um, uh, about the two tower, uh, kind of philosophy

00:35:51.860 that have you had your second, uh, tower experience.

00:35:55.900 And I was really just struck by that is so right on the money, but when are people, when

00:36:03.280 is the average American or have they, and they're just being quiet?

00:36:07.520 I don't know.

00:36:09.280 When is the average American going to have their, their second tower kind of moment?

00:36:15.480 Uh, you know, my second tower kind of moment was when I realized that when wearing a face 0.99

00:36:20.720 mask, uh, I cannot unlock my iPhone with, with a stupid face thing. 1.00

00:36:25.280 It is a travesty, a sham and a mockery. 1.00

00:36:29.460 It's a Travis sham mockery and it must end stupid Apple. 1.00

00:36:33.420 Get a program that reads through my face mask and will recognize me. 0.99

00:36:38.580 So I don't have to type in my freaking code, which takes seconds.

00:36:42.540 Oh, they will be careful what you have to tell you something probably already in the

00:36:46.140 I lost, I lost my glasses someplace here.

00:36:50.320 My wife was like, where did you put them?

00:36:52.340 I'm like, I don't know.

00:36:53.540 I lost them outside.

00:36:54.740 So some, some place, some place where the cattle and the, and the antelope Rome.

00:37:02.160 Um, so I, I put my old glasses on and I tried to open up my computer.

00:37:08.180 It didn't recognize my face.

00:37:09.440 And I'm like, maybe Clark Kent was what I mean?

00:37:13.940 Maybe that was true.

00:37:16.120 Apple can't recognize my face with a pair of glasses.

00:37:19.660 Oh, that's not bad.

00:37:20.800 Holy cow. 0.89

00:37:21.460 The worst one is when you re when you realize you've gotten so fat, it no longer thinks

00:37:26.140 you're the same person.

00:37:28.500 That is a bad realization.

00:37:30.540 It legitimately happened to me before. 0.96

00:37:32.280 It's like, God, no, who the hell are you? 0.97

00:37:34.320 Wow. 0.93

00:37:34.580 Maybe that's what it is.

00:37:36.720 Hey, that's what it is, man.

00:37:39.300 I went in, I went in, I, you know, I spent like 12 hours in the hospital this last weekend

00:37:43.900 because I had a kidney stones.

00:37:46.360 Oh my gosh, Pat, you know what that's like.

00:37:48.420 And we can only hope that Stu joins us on this very soon soon.

00:37:51.660 Yes.

00:37:52.060 No, very soon, very soon.

00:37:54.080 Um, but that was, that was incredible, but they pumped me full of so much water that I

00:38:02.140 got out.

00:38:03.000 They put, I think I said gallon and a half.

00:38:06.980 I can't remember how much water they pumped into me, but they pumped in so much fluid.

00:38:11.140 I got out and I looked like I looked like I had gained 30 pounds.

00:38:16.720 And they're like, you got to keep drinking water.

00:38:22.680 And I'm like, not if it makes me look like this, dude.

00:38:25.300 Oh, wait a minute.

00:38:26.000 I was just going to say, did you do it again this morning? 1.00

00:38:28.280 Because, uh, shut up. 0.95

00:38:30.520 Pat Gray from, uh, some show that he does someplace at some time. 0.93

00:38:38.420 And someday maybe you'll hear about it and you can find him wherever podcasts are found

00:38:44.980 somewhere in America, within the sound of my voice, there is a man for whom the world

00:38:49.520 of the word work was never just another four letter word all his life.

00:38:55.020 He was bonded to, and his love with the, the, the land, uh, and the land of his family

00:39:02.120 and forefathers minutes piled in hours, hours piled in days and years.

00:39:07.640 And the proof of his industrialness, industrialness, um, will come to you in the simple form of

00:39:14.100 a handshake.

00:39:15.560 This guy says what he means and means what he says.

00:39:19.440 You will feel the strength of his handshake, the calluses on his hand, every bale of hay

00:39:25.040 he ever chucked onto the back of a truck, every chrome plated steel wrench he ever had to turn

00:39:31.160 with all his might just to squeeze another day out of the tractor, every calf he ever had

00:39:36.220 to wrestle to the ground.

00:39:38.420 All those things are in his handshake.

00:39:41.120 You know what else is in it?

00:39:42.920 Integrity, honesty, low key appreciation for the fine nature of life itself.

00:39:48.240 It's there in a handshake.

00:39:49.820 And it's there in the pair of Tekova's boots that are on his feet, handmade from the finest

00:39:54.640 leathers.

00:39:55.520 They take 200 steps to create.

00:39:57.820 That's integrity.

00:40:58.780 The family and how it is being dismantled and how some people you thought were allies are

00:41:07.180 saying, yeah, the family's kind of outdated.

00:41:10.420 It is the basic fundamental building block of the universe.

00:41:15.120 It cannot be dismantled.

00:41:17.400 It's evil to try program.

00:41:20.660 So what's the number one sign of a bad home security system, a home security system that

00:41:26.260 is so complicated that you never use it.

00:41:33.660 against.

00:43:55.180 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:44:25.180 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:44:35.280 Hello, America.

00:44:37.060 It's Wednesday.

00:44:39.360 And my gosh, we have so many things to talk about.

00:44:43.720 The mayor of Chicago is riding into the rescue.

00:44:48.760 She said she wishes she had the bat signal, but she's decided to call in another hero. 0.81

00:44:55.000 In news that only makes sense if you are wildly intoxicated, we will share with you in 60 seconds.

00:45:06.060 What happens when you are in so much pain that you can't do just not only the necessary things around the house, but you can't sleep half the time?

00:45:22.320 That was the situation that Dawn found herself in.

00:45:26.180 She's been a hairstylist for 25 years, and in her retirement, she had developed constant pain in her hands and her feet and her back, and she was desperate for something to take the pain away.

00:45:35.880 Nothing she tried worked.

00:45:38.280 I remember that feeling well, Dawn.

00:45:41.100 Then she heard about Relief Factor.

00:45:43.120 She decided, what do I have to lose?

00:45:45.040 You know how the story goes.

00:45:46.640 A few weeks later, Dawn was a completely different person.

00:45:49.640 In fact, she was the person she was before the pain took over her life.

00:45:54.040 Dawn got her life back, and you can too.

00:45:56.680 If you're living with pain, give Relief Factor a try.

00:46:00.080 Relief Factor, it's not a drug.

00:46:01.480 It was developed by doctors.

00:46:02.760 70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to buy more because it works for them.

00:46:08.200 So try the three-week quick start.

00:46:10.220 It's a trial pack.

00:46:11.100 It's only $19.95.

00:46:12.760 See the difference.

00:46:13.740 Get your life back.

00:46:15.040 ReliefFactor.com.

00:46:16.400 ReliefFactor.com or 800-500-8384.

00:46:19.860 It's ReliefFactor.com.

00:46:27.780 And in other news today that makes an awful lot of sense,

00:46:35.620 the city of Chicago has been under a shadow that was cast by the flu pandemic and a surge in violence.

00:46:54.320 While we still don't know what caused the violence, probably white people, but Mayor Lori Lightfoot is calling in a hero to tackle a different problem in Chicago.

00:47:10.680 The low response rates for the U.S. Census.

00:47:15.340 Apparently, her goal was to have at least 70% of the people fill out the census. 0.98

00:47:26.780 It's now being filled out by only about 40% of the people of Chicago.

00:47:34.740 So yesterday in a press conference, which I think was very, very brave of her, she said,

00:47:42.320 When I was a kid, when I was a kid, I loved the Batman TV show.

00:47:47.460 And when the city of Gotham had a real difficult challenge, one of the things that the mayor did was he called out and sent out a distress signal to Batman.

00:48:03.260 I'm not sure if the mayor Lightfoot knows that Batman isn't real, but she went on to say,

00:48:17.940 So I'm doing something similar for the census.

00:48:22.600 I'm happy to report I'm calling out the...

00:48:27.280 The census cowboy. 0.77

00:48:34.540 I mean, who in the inner cities of Chicago don't love cowboys?

00:48:42.800 I mean, first of all, cowboys were killing Indians.

00:48:47.520 Cowboys are part of the problem with America, right? 0.99

00:48:52.460 So if the census, she said, if the census cowboy comes into your neighborhood, that's not a good thing. 0.96

00:49:01.860 Of course not.

00:49:03.860 Cowboys are bad.

00:49:06.220 She said, that means you got to step up and do your part and fill out the census.

00:49:13.440 And that's all the news that makes sense if you're completely hammered out of your mind.

00:49:19.780 The census cowboy. 0.77

00:49:23.720 Could this person be more out of touch?

00:49:27.640 No, no, no.

00:49:28.220 I've got somebody more out of touch.

00:49:29.640 I'm sorry.

00:49:30.940 The national anthem now is seriously up on the block.

00:49:39.320 I just want you to...

00:49:40.720 I read a phrase last night on a website, which I think everybody should read.

00:49:45.620 It's great.

00:49:46.100 It's americangreatness.com.

00:49:48.080 And I was reading one of the op-eds, and they were talking about, have you had your second tower moment yet?

00:49:57.480 And that is a reference to 9-11.

00:50:01.500 And we all remember that day if you were alive.

00:50:04.080 And you saw the first plane go in, and you were like, holy cow, what a mistake.

00:50:08.140 How did that happen?

00:50:09.700 But when the second tower was hit, you knew we were under attack.

00:50:13.180 When is America going to have its second tower moment?

00:50:17.580 When are we going to wake up and realize that the country we know and love is under attack?

00:50:25.640 We are in a war that is just as big as anything else we have ever fought.

00:50:34.720 But it is a...

00:50:35.920 It's a...

00:50:36.640 I can't even say it's a cold war.

00:50:39.560 It's a...

00:50:40.100 It's almost...

00:50:42.840 Well, it's...

00:50:43.360 We're acting as if it is a...

00:50:46.640 An invisible war.

00:50:48.580 And a silent war.

00:50:49.740 But it's not.

00:50:50.420 We're losing our country.

00:50:53.100 We're losing our heritage.

00:50:55.080 It has been taken from us.

00:50:59.040 You want to know one reason why African Americans have such a hard time?

00:51:05.060 Because their history has been taken from them.

00:51:09.960 Progressives took away all of the great leaders in the founding and in the Civil War.

00:51:18.800 They don't know who they're...

00:51:22.540 They don't know who the millionaires and the people who persevered and the people who went...

00:51:29.360 You don't even know...

00:51:30.600 Most people don't even know that Aunt Jemima was real.

00:51:34.660 She was born in a log cabin as a slave in like 1830. 0.99

00:51:41.560 While she never made it to a millionaire,

00:51:43.560 She became one of the wealthiest women and definitely one of the wealthiest black women alive. 0.94

00:51:51.140 And she did it through capitalism.

00:51:53.940 She was real.

00:51:55.980 She was beloved.

00:51:59.280 People don't know their own history.

00:52:00.900 You don't know the history of the Washington Redskins.

00:52:03.520 That's why we've just lost the Washington Redskins.

00:52:07.240 That was a tribute.

00:52:08.740 Now the American flag.

00:52:15.860 There is an op-ed now.

00:52:19.160 There's an op-ed out.

00:52:20.600 And I just...

00:52:21.100 I can't.

00:52:21.620 I just don't.

00:52:23.980 The Star-Spangled Banner had been a fixture of American life for more than a century prior to May 4th, 1931,

00:52:29.680 when President Hoover signed a bill establishing the song as the national anthem.

00:52:33.420 It's not really true.

00:52:34.680 Do we happen to have Hail Columbia?

00:52:36.000 Hail Columbia was the more popular song.

00:52:43.300 Do we happen to have it?

00:52:44.500 Do you know?

00:52:48.120 It might be Columbia National Anthem.

00:52:50.840 I'm not sure.

00:52:51.860 Maybe that's the state, the actual country, Columbia.

00:52:55.540 Is it the Columbia National Anthem?

00:52:57.600 Okay.

00:52:58.640 Well, Hail Columbia.

00:53:00.400 It's just an awful...

00:53:01.860 It's just an awful song.

00:53:03.520 And we didn't have a national anthem.

00:53:06.720 And the reason why we didn't is because that's not who we were.

00:53:09.540 We didn't force things down everybody's throat.

00:53:12.920 You could assemble the stars any way you wanted.

00:53:15.400 As long as it was on the blue, you could make it into any shape you wanted.

00:53:18.180 But then we started on standardized flags and don't burn the flag.

00:53:23.380 That is all progressive nonsense.

00:53:27.160 That's all started by Woodrow Wilson.

00:53:29.980 To make us into one solid country that would blindly follow Uncle Sam.

00:53:36.380 Another invention of Woodrow Wilson.

00:53:39.120 So, in 1931, President Hoover, he signed a bill making it the National Anthem.

00:53:50.520 And the tradition started right after World War II.

00:53:56.260 After the war, the NFL commissioner then said,

00:53:59.780 the playing of the National Anthem should be as much a part of every game as the kickoff.

00:54:03.780 So, that's why we all say, play it all afterwards.

00:54:07.240 Because it started to be played in our stadiums for football and baseball.

00:54:12.740 This is a new tradition.

00:54:16.260 Well, they're going to get rid of that tradition.

00:54:20.340 And I think we should do it with our eyes wide open.

00:54:23.780 Now, I will tell you that there is an article out now

00:54:29.720 about the arguments against the Star Spangled Banner.

00:54:33.780 You know, it's not an American song.

00:54:38.580 It was actually, I think, like a drinking song over in London.

00:54:43.700 And then the tune was brought over here and set to Francis Scott Key's lyrics.

00:54:50.720 And they say that it's just horrible.

00:54:54.280 You know, his national anthem, the words, the lyrics, say,

00:55:00.140 the hireling or the slave.

00:55:01.520 Well, that's not a verse we even sing.

00:55:05.500 And it's too militaristic.

00:55:08.480 And so, what can we do?

00:55:10.900 Well, some people are saying lift every voice and sing,

00:55:13.620 which I don't mind.

00:55:14.720 I think it's pretty good.

00:55:16.960 Myself.

00:55:17.560 But that's the black national anthem written by a black Republican.

00:55:23.600 But I'm in no hurry. 0.90

00:55:24.740 I don't like our national anthem myself.

00:55:28.160 But, you know, whatever.

00:55:29.840 It's the national anthem.

00:55:31.300 I'm fine.

00:55:32.000 I'm fine with keeping it.

00:55:33.420 I think we should.

00:55:34.180 It's our national anthem.

00:55:35.440 I'm not going to give in to the mob.

00:55:38.040 But if we all decided to change it and we were all logical and we all just got together and said, 0.98

00:55:44.900 you know, the song really kind of sucks. 0.98

00:55:47.060 Okay. 0.98

00:55:48.060 I don't think America is going to say that,

00:55:50.140 but I don't want it in a mob mentality ripped away from us.

00:55:54.340 I won't give up.

00:55:55.380 But I thought, you know,

00:55:59.540 this article goes on to say that really we should use Lean On Me by Bill Wither.

00:56:06.040 Are you for that one, Stu?

00:56:07.500 You for?

00:56:08.620 No.

00:56:09.360 Lean On Me?

00:56:09.980 No.

00:56:10.740 You're not?

00:56:11.340 No, I'm not.

00:56:13.200 Huh.

00:56:13.700 Mm-mm.

00:56:14.300 Okay.

00:56:14.860 No.

00:56:15.340 Okay.

00:56:15.680 No.

00:56:16.420 Just to be clear, you're a hater.

00:56:18.660 I thought we should look at other national anthems

00:56:23.400 and from countries that we could just take.

00:56:26.460 You know what I mean?

00:56:27.740 It was just, if there's another national anthem,

00:56:29.940 and I actually, I think it's New Zealand or is it Australia?

00:56:34.040 Do we have the New Zealand national anthem?

00:56:37.560 Yeah, go ahead and play the New Zealand national anthem.

00:56:39.360 I mean, because we could just.

00:56:48.540 Now, it's in a language we don't speak,

00:56:50.440 but that would stop people from being offended.

00:56:53.400 That's a, it's not a bad answer to all these problems.

00:56:58.500 We mean, we just make up words.

00:56:59.840 Right?

00:57:00.280 That don't mean anything.

00:57:01.060 Just make up words.

00:57:02.440 You're right.

00:57:03.460 I know that means something to somebody,

00:57:05.640 but they're on the other side of the earth

00:57:06.940 and everybody will know.

00:57:12.980 That's not bad.

00:57:13.820 That's not bad.

00:57:14.700 I think we should consider taking the New Zealand national anthem.

00:57:18.200 What about just taking New Zealand?

00:57:19.440 I mean, if we're going to take the anthem,

00:57:20.980 let's just take, the country's beautiful.

00:57:24.260 Too close to China.

00:57:26.740 Let's take the Swedish national anthem.

00:57:29.420 I mean, what are the Swedes going to do?

00:57:31.420 Throw Band-Aids at us?

00:57:32.660 I mean, they got universal health care.

00:57:35.060 They should have a lot of Band-Aids, but that's all.

00:57:37.620 So what are they going to do?

00:57:38.340 Hey, yeah, sure.

00:57:40.120 They took our national anthem.

00:57:41.380 Yeah, we did.

00:57:42.280 What are you going to do about it?

00:57:43.600 What are you going to do?

00:57:44.900 Play the Swedish national anthem.

00:57:46.420 No.

00:57:57.040 No.

00:57:58.220 Falklands.

00:57:58.680 Give me the Falklands national anthem.

00:58:00.700 I don't like that one.

00:58:06.540 Ooh.

00:58:08.380 Oh, what?

00:58:09.420 It's sung by Nickelback, by the way.

00:58:10.920 It's like a, it's...

00:58:12.160 Yeah. 0.99

00:58:12.320 Boy, this sucks. 0.98

00:58:29.280 You can see why the Falklands never did anything. 0.99

00:58:31.260 If that's your national anthem.

00:58:35.100 No.

00:58:36.100 No.

00:58:37.020 Have you ever heard of...

00:58:39.260 Maritus?

00:58:41.960 Mar...

00:58:42.560 Marituus?

00:58:44.680 I've never even heard of this country, so we can clearly take them.

00:58:47.800 Try this one.

00:58:49.420 The...

00:58:49.980 Whatever that is, national anthem.

00:58:54.700 It's a little somber.

00:58:57.120 Ooh.

00:59:00.520 Ooh.

00:59:01.260 Glory to thee, Motherland.

00:59:09.500 The bad chariots of fire.

00:59:12.480 Wow.

00:59:13.200 That is bad.

00:59:14.080 I'm starting to like our national anthem.

00:59:16.720 It's Maritius, by the way.

00:59:18.320 Maritius.

00:59:19.120 Give me Ghana. 0.97

00:59:19.860 Give me the Ghana. 1.00

00:59:22.260 Ghana national anthem.

00:59:23.180 Make us cherish, feel less honesty, and help us to resist, oppress us, rule with all our

00:59:36.680 will and might forevermore.

00:59:39.240 Oh my gosh, this is weak.

00:59:40.680 This is the one they would be pitching right now.

00:59:43.640 Watch what you ask for here.

00:59:45.100 San Francisco anthem.

00:59:45.760 Jesus, oppress us, rule with all our will and might forevermore. 0.89

00:59:53.260 This is a national anthem?

00:59:54.880 This is the Ghana national anthem.

01:00:02.120 Play it again from the beginning.

01:00:03.880 I don't think I've ever heard anything quite this bad.

01:00:07.820 Quite this bad.

01:00:08.800 And yet, the lyrics are...

01:00:12.780 Feel less honesty and help us to resist,

01:00:16.120 oppress us, rule with all our will and might forevermore.

01:00:24.780 Oh my gosh, this is...

01:00:26.700 Help us to resist.

01:00:29.620 Okay, we gotta stop playing this because the social warriors out there, they will be like,

01:00:34.460 I don't know, that one was really good.

01:03:02.400 Is this the same guy?

01:03:22.420 Doesn't it sound like the New Guinea guy?

01:03:26.360 A little bit.

01:03:27.200 I don't know.

01:03:35.360 I'm starting to like the Bill Withers idea.

01:03:37.880 Lean on me.

01:03:38.800 I'm starting...

01:03:40.220 You know, maybe...

01:03:42.320 Maybe some nirvana.

01:03:46.360 I mean, you know...

01:03:48.320 I can't believe how fast this country is...

01:03:55.320 Is coming apart at the seams.

01:04:01.140 You know?

01:04:01.880 I mean, we've seen it coming, but did you see it coming this fast, this rapid, that...

01:04:07.220 I mean, this is...

01:04:09.160 How anyone can think that this is not planned is beyond me.

01:04:15.620 Look at how well crafted this whole thing has been.

01:04:18.880 It really is.

01:04:19.520 I mean, look at...

01:04:19.960 The Redskins are a good example of this.

01:04:21.420 They announced they are getting rid of the Redskins name and logo, including the logo

01:04:25.760 that was, you know, designed by, modeled for, and designed for Native Americans.

01:04:31.980 And the son of the person who designed it, a Native American, is very pissed off about 1.00

01:04:36.040 this.

01:04:36.780 But it's like, that was something that in 2013, the owner of the team said he would

01:04:43.460 never change the name.

01:04:44.860 Like, he was that strong.

01:04:47.020 And he went through several waves of opposition to the name.

01:04:51.140 Over and over again, they brought this up, that it was some big problem.

01:04:53.940 They'd go back and poll Native Americans, and 90% of them would come back and say, we don't

01:04:57.320 think it's a problem.

01:04:58.360 The issue would go away for a while.

01:04:59.580 They'd try it again.

01:05:00.300 They'd try it again.

01:05:00.960 They'd try it again.

01:05:01.640 They tried it again recently.

01:05:02.920 It was still in the, I think, mid-70s, as far as approval rating for the name.

01:05:08.900 And this time, it just was fine.

01:05:10.160 I guess, for some reason, because of one terrible incident in Minnesota, they're just

01:05:16.280 rushing for the gates.

01:05:18.120 And I know, it's not that, but that's the thing that put it over the top, it seems like.

01:05:23.880 It is a well-crafted plan, and this was all waiting for the right moment to unleash.

01:05:31.680 And when that happened in Minnesota, our enemy said, now, go, go, go, go, go.

01:05:36.700 Gold line, the world of the dollar is full of all kinds of strange twists and turns, isn't

01:05:45.860 it?

01:05:46.320 My gosh, what's going to happen next?

01:05:48.480 It's almost like they're going to start, the Fed's just going to start printing money

01:05:52.980 and just buying all of our debt.

01:05:55.560 Oh, they already did that?

01:05:56.860 Well, then they're going to start buying the stocks on the stock.

01:06:00.160 They're doing that, too?

01:06:00.940 $9 billion in new, really, a day?

01:06:10.800 Okay, so the dollar, you know, it's going to be around probably as long as, oh, all of

01:06:20.120 our trusted and stable institutions, you know, and nothing's going to happen, just like nothing's

01:06:29.100 going to happen to the Washington Redskins.

01:06:30.940 Gold is back to an eight-year-old high right now.

01:06:35.000 They just turned the money machines on, and they've gone to Cabo for the week.

01:06:39.720 Make sure you're out of this death trend of the dollar.

01:06:44.120 Gold.

01:07:00.940 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:07:06.760 Stu, David Brooks.

01:07:10.320 I know I don't know.

01:07:11.600 I know I don't like David Brooks, and I can't remember why.

01:07:15.760 You just have a list of people.

01:07:17.240 Give me the David.

01:07:17.760 Yeah, David Brooks is a, you're talking like the columnist from the Times?

01:07:22.740 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:07:23.560 Yeah, I mean, he's a fake conservative, right?

01:07:29.200 Yeah, I don't even know if he would even say he's a conservative.

01:07:31.600 He's a right, you know, a center right, I guess, columnist.

01:07:35.340 But, I mean, he does tend to do a lot of things that are just critical of conservatives.

01:07:40.980 He's been in that genre for a while.

01:07:44.500 And, you know, it doesn't say he never writes anything interesting, but he does seem to do that sort of, you know, what's really bad about conservatives right now thing.

01:07:53.200 Yeah, quite often, yeah.

01:07:56.220 So, there is a, there's an op-ed out from David Brooks.

01:08:01.920 Nuclear family was a mistake.

01:08:04.580 That's the headline.

01:08:06.140 Now, tonight, I'm going to show you how this is the real target.

01:08:12.500 And it's been the target of Marxists for a very long time.

01:08:17.100 And Marxists have always tried to divide people into classes, usually in wealth.

01:08:22.880 But they found that in the 1960s, it wasn't going to work.

01:08:26.920 Because if you look at our poor here in America, our poor are better off than most nations, most members of most nations.

01:08:38.280 In fact, if you took the African-American, the American, and took the African-American community, and you made it its own country, I think it would be 40th in the world on wealth. 0.97

01:08:51.880 And that would be beating some really good countries.

01:08:58.680 And it can do better.

01:09:00.320 But it's got to get away from the policies, quite honestly, that I believe were enacted in the 1960s.

01:09:06.240 I'm convinced that the Great Society and the War on Poverty and all of this was built by a bunch of racists who knew exactly what they were doing.

01:09:19.500 How is it that the progressives who were the Klan, were Planned Parenthood, been spending 20 years, 40 years, 60 years at that point,

01:09:31.020 trying to eliminate the African-American, how did they suddenly come up with this love for the African-American community and their plight, and we're going to help you?

01:09:45.100 No, what they did is they hobbled the African-American. 0.86

01:09:48.520 And until we actually talk about those things, nothing else is going to change.

01:09:53.420 It's only going to get worse and worse and worse, because they are playing in.

01:09:58.840 And until the African-American community wakes up and realizes, wait a minute, we're being used. 0.74

01:10:05.980 The Marxists understood that they could not take away and make us into class as the primary distinction,

01:10:14.700 that the poor were not going to rise up in America.

01:10:18.880 And so they had to come with another target.

01:10:21.420 In the 1960s, they decided to make it race.

01:10:24.360 And they've been working for a very, very long time.

01:10:27.300 And we are under attack.

01:10:29.300 Now, people say Black Lives Matter. 0.77

01:10:31.600 I don't have a problem saying that.

01:10:33.720 I don't agree with everything they do.

01:10:35.720 Well, would you say that, would you quote anything, anything that was the slogan of the Nazi Party?

01:10:45.820 Of course you wouldn't.

01:10:48.480 Of course you wouldn't.

01:10:51.340 So why are you doing this with Black Lives Matter? 0.94

01:10:56.800 They are national socialists.

01:10:59.580 They are Marxists.

01:11:01.300 They are looking to destroy the Western way of life. 0.59

01:11:04.640 It has nothing to do with the plight of the black man. 0.97

01:11:08.020 It's run by a lot of really wealthy white people and white radicals.

01:11:13.860 By the way, did you see in Dallas last night, Stu, the mob that went into the Dallas restaurant? 0.69

01:11:23.120 A bunch of white people going in for Black Lives Matter, just looking for a fight. 0.93

01:11:31.380 They started shouting at black people in the restaurant, their families. 0.99

01:11:36.600 It got ugly. 0.99

01:11:37.700 They were looking for a fight.

01:11:43.300 America, you've got to start thinking like Todd Beamer did.

01:11:48.640 I mean, we just cannot go down like this.

01:11:54.960 And there are more of us than them. 0.97

01:11:56.480 And it was all these white punks that were explaining it to the black people on how the black people were on the wrong side. 0.98

01:12:06.280 Wait, wait, what? 0.99

01:12:10.420 It's so racist inside of that, right?

01:12:14.080 I mean, it's such a...

01:12:15.360 Oh my gosh.

01:12:16.040 The idea that white people can just inform black people, Native Americans in this recent example as well, any group, what they should or should not be offended by is so presumptuous.

01:12:29.440 It basically takes away the agency of the group. 1.00

01:12:33.780 You know, I know it's a dumb example because it's a stupid lady on a syrup bottle. 1.00

01:12:38.520 But Aunt Jemima was purchased in inordinate numbers by African-Americans. 1.00

01:12:44.820 It was their favorite syrup.

01:12:46.480 It was by far the favorite syrup.

01:12:48.520 Yeah, and they actually bought it much more often than white people did.

01:12:54.560 Yet white people came to the rescue of black people and took their favorite product off the market. 0.96

01:13:00.600 Thank you, white people. 0.55

01:13:02.700 What a wonderful blessing that we have you guys here to tell us what we should and should not be offended by and what we should or should not eat.

01:13:10.600 It's so insulting.

01:13:15.220 And I don't know why, you know, there aren't, why there isn't a larger outspoken group of African-Americans more pissed off about this.

01:13:22.520 Maybe they're being, you know, kind of pushed down in the media landscape.

01:13:26.420 I do see many of them.

01:13:27.860 They call into this show.

01:13:29.100 I see them posting online all the time.

01:13:31.120 They're pissed off by this because they're being treated like children.

01:13:34.060 They're being children.

01:13:35.060 They're being treated like a group of people who need to have another group of people make decisions for them.

01:13:39.680 That's what children are.

01:13:41.300 And that is not acceptable.

01:13:43.240 It should not be accepted.

01:13:44.500 And it certainly is not racial empowerment.

01:13:46.960 It's the opposite of that.

01:13:49.620 I can't, I can't take it. 0.60

01:13:51.340 I just can't take, I see these white punks who, you know, have no life experience at all that are all Marxists. 1.00

01:14:00.140 And they're lecturing blacks and black families, in this case, last night, lecturing black families on how racist they were because they wouldn't join with Black Lives Matter. 0.98

01:14:12.580 It's insane. 0.79

01:14:13.780 And this, you know, I was watching it and I thought, they are doing exactly what the brown shirts did in Germany. 0.99

01:14:23.660 How did you get, when Hitler only had 30% approval rating, how did you get everyone to give the Hitler salute?

01:14:32.880 You did it because the brown shirts held parades all the time.

01:14:38.580 They would just come marching through your neighborhood or your street.

01:14:42.180 And if you were on the street and they gave the Nazi salute, if you didn't give the Nazi salute, they singled you out and they beat the living daylight out of you. 0.56

01:14:53.640 And so, because people just didn't want the daylight beaten out of them all the time, they just didn't want to cause any trouble, they would just give the Hitler salute.

01:15:02.720 That's exactly what's happening now.

01:15:05.760 Companies that would flag, that would hang the Nazi flag in their window of their shop, most times, it was not because they were supporting the Nazis.

01:15:16.820 It was a signal, leave me alone, I'm on your side.

01:15:20.540 Even if they weren't, they were just surrendering and saying, I'm not a problem.

01:15:26.120 That is un-American. 0.78

01:15:29.440 This is going to be remembered in history and we're not getting these things back.

01:15:35.300 Do you really think that these statues are going to go back?

01:15:38.700 Once they remove Thomas Jefferson, once they remove George Washington, once they change our history, we're not going back.

01:15:50.540 We must not give an inch.

01:15:57.420 Because the real goal here is to destroy the Western way of life.

01:16:02.520 The real goal is to destroy the family.

01:16:06.840 And if you don't believe me, go to the website for Black Lives Matter.

01:16:12.580 They talk about it openly.

01:16:15.680 They're saying now that the nuclear family was a product of capitalism, that it was not the norm.

01:16:26.000 And we've got to go to a community-based family where, you know, parents can trust other people to raise their kids and the state will get involved.

01:16:35.160 This is evil.

01:16:36.860 You don't break up the family.

01:16:40.600 You don't displace the father and the mother.

01:16:44.800 You recognize that not everybody's going to have a mom and dad and not all families are going to be good.

01:16:50.460 And you do have extended families.

01:16:52.860 But this idea that the family should be broken up is evil.

01:17:03.180 Yeah, Black Lives Matter, I mean, outwardly says it.

01:17:06.000 We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement.

01:17:10.280 I mean, it's hard to see how fundamental that is to American society.

01:17:17.500 And, you know, Glenn, it goes beyond just this sort of warm family-feeling religious foundations.

01:17:24.060 One of the reasons why Marxists hate it so much is it's very consistent with conservative ideology.

01:17:31.600 Like, when we don't look at it as—the left looks at things and says the federal government should do it, right?

01:17:38.300 Or, if you get even bigger than that in the Marxist world, the global government should do it, right?

01:17:43.280 Going back to international socialism.

01:17:46.100 When you go—when you look at the country, they say the federal government should do it.

01:17:49.000 And if the federal government can't do it, then the state government should do it.

01:17:52.740 And if the state government can't do it, then maybe the local government.

01:17:55.620 We look at it the exact opposite way.

01:17:57.720 We say the family should do it.

01:18:00.860 And if the family can't do it—

01:18:03.000 Yeah, the individual.

01:18:04.200 Yeah.

01:18:04.340 Then the family.

01:18:05.540 Then the neighborhood, the community.

01:18:07.520 Then the local government.

01:18:10.080 Then the county government.

01:18:12.040 Then the state government.

01:18:13.040 Then the federal government.

01:18:14.160 If all of those other ways fail, then we go to the big group at the top.

01:18:18.880 They look at it the exact opposite.

01:18:20.980 So, making the family weaker not only helps them for a million other reasons, but it helps them dismantle conservative ideology.

01:18:29.700 Ideology that our founders instituted here in the United States, you know, all these years ago.

01:18:34.680 It helps them eat at the core of that, and that's the only way you can get rid of this system because it's been so successful.

01:18:40.060 And the family has to be destroyed, and God has to be destroyed.

01:18:46.080 There is a reason that every tyrant in the past refused to let you own a Bible.

01:18:52.380 Because when you understand Christianity and when you understand Judeo-Christian teachings, it teaches you that you answer directly to God for your mistakes, and that your power comes from a higher source.

01:19:11.340 It doesn't come from a king or a government.

01:19:13.860 So, you have to destroy religion because that empowers you as an individual. 0.96

01:19:19.760 The other thing that empowers you is the stability of the family.

01:19:25.300 Mom and dad teaching you, go out and do it yourself.

01:19:29.620 Pull yourself up by the bootstraps.

01:19:32.380 Let's get going.

01:19:34.380 Take care of your brothers and sisters.

01:19:36.600 It's the family unit that also strengthens the child.

01:19:42.300 So, what did in the Great Society in the 1960s, what did the government do?

01:19:48.460 They destroyed the family in African-American communities. 0.99

01:19:53.020 Just destroyed it.

01:19:55.300 It was doing better than a lot of other families.

01:20:00.860 In some measurements, they were better and more stable than white America. 0.98

01:20:09.600 Still today, if you look at the stats of married families who are African-American, their poverty rate is like 7%.

01:20:21.160 They're doing better than white families because they're stable. 0.99

01:20:27.580 Remember, the key word here is chaos.

01:20:34.380 And if you destroy the family, you create chaos.

01:20:37.780 And it is under attack like never before.

01:23:03.320 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:05.800 From the Standing Rock Ranch in God's country, hello, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:22.160 We're all looking for our kids to go back to school, and we're all excited for our kids to go back to school.

01:23:27.900 Our kids are excited to go back to school.

01:23:29.580 But what is in your child's school?

01:23:32.100 What has been done to the curriculum since last we met?

01:23:37.860 There is a lot of new things that are being implemented now that you need to know.

01:23:43.940 Is this in my kid's school or not?

01:23:46.300 And you need to demand that it be removed?

01:23:49.000 We'll tell you about that.

01:23:50.600 And talk to you about college.

01:23:53.000 Well, why are we paying to have our kids be taught to hate us?

01:23:59.940 Coming up.

01:24:00.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:03.220 You've heard me talk about my Tecovis boots and how much I love them and what a great company they come from.

01:24:07.900 It's a small business that's doing things the right way down here in Texas.

01:24:11.340 Well, given the challenges that we're going through as a country, Tecovis has asked me to speak about something else that comes to mind every time I put on my Tecovis boots.

01:24:19.580 The cowboy.

01:24:20.680 Now, you know, I'm not a working cowboy, but I know some of those guys.

01:24:24.840 And not being one of them, I wouldn't pretend to be.

01:24:27.780 But what I see in them, I see in other people, too.

01:24:30.820 Because in many ways, cowboy is just a mindset.

01:24:34.220 An uncompromising, can-do attitude.

01:24:36.820 A willingness to help, even when it's really hard.

01:24:39.920 And most of all, the cowboy knows that the good guys always win in the end.

01:24:45.200 So as you begin the hard work of bootstrapping this country and economy back into shape, Tecovis has the boots you need.

01:24:52.440 Find your pair at Tecovis.com.

01:24:54.820 T-E-C-O-V-A-S dot com slash Beck.

01:24:58.160 Tecovis.com slash Beck.

01:25:00.500 And what do you say?

01:25:01.740 Let's all be cowboys.

01:25:03.160 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:06.940 I want to say about home title lock.

01:25:08.520 You know, it's devastating to be the victim of a crime.

01:25:11.060 But it can be even worse if you're the victim of a crime.

01:25:13.180 You didn't even know someone could commit home title fraud, which is actually becoming more and more of a problem these days.

01:25:19.540 It's a crime that very few people have even heard of.

01:25:22.880 Someone literally finds the title to your home online.

01:25:25.680 Forges your name on the deed.

01:25:27.780 And that states that, you know, look, you've sold your home.

01:25:30.820 And it's the really dark part of this because they can refile this form and prove that they're the new owner.

01:25:40.480 And that's what it looks like on paper.

01:25:42.000 And then if they do that, they can literally evict you from your own home before you even know that it's been sold to someone else.

01:25:48.500 It sounds like something that's from a movie or something made up kind of just some awful romantic comedy where they wind up having to have to live together.

01:25:57.360 And that's how they fall in love.

01:25:58.520 Like the person who comes to kick them out of the house falls in love with the person being kicked out or something like that.

01:26:02.940 It was on Hallmark.

01:26:03.780 It's on Hallmark next week.

01:26:04.960 But this is actually a real crime that happens to people. 1.00

01:26:07.580 Go to home title lock to make sure you're not in the stupid romantic comedy coming up. 1.00

01:26:11.380 The instant they detect tampering, they will mobilize to shut it down. 0.95

01:26:14.420 First things first, go to HomeTitleLock.com, register your address, see if you're already a victim and don't know it yet.

01:26:19.640 Then use the code BEC for 30 risk-free days of protection.

01:26:23.540 It's BEC at the code at HomeTitleLock.com.

01:26:26.600 HomeTitleLock.com.

01:26:44.420 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:26:55.100 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:01.320 Hello, America.

01:27:02.520 The United Teachers Los Angeles, it's a 35,000-strong union in Los Angeles in the Unified School District.

01:27:09.440 It made a couple of demands that before reopening of schools in the district can occur, there have to be some policy provisions in place, including a moratorium on funding for charter schools and the funding of local police.

01:27:26.440 But they also went a little further.

01:27:28.640 They also demanded the implementation of a federal Medicare for All program, several new state-level taxes on wealthy people, and a federal bailout of the school district.

01:27:42.100 The benefits to restarting physical schools must outweigh the risks, especially for our most vulnerable students and school communities.

01:27:49.800 As it stands, I'm quoting from their document, the only people guaranteed to benefit from premature physical reopening of schools amidst a rapidly accelerating pandemic are billionaires and the politicians they've purchased.

01:28:06.480 That is the union that is behind the teachers that are going into the classroom in California and teaching your children.

01:28:19.800 Why are we doing this?

01:28:22.540 Well, we're doing it because there's nothing else we can do, right?

01:28:25.460 I mean, I've got to send my kid to a college. 0.96

01:28:28.140 Yeah, well, why don't we look for a college that maybe has a set of balls on them? 0.99

01:28:34.260 Maybe we look at a college unlike Penn State. 0.61

01:28:37.980 Did you see what Penn State did?

01:28:39.820 Dear students, each of you belong here.

01:28:42.360 Each of you.

01:28:43.080 Dear black students, your lives matter. 0.98

01:28:45.480 Dear Muslims and Jewish students, your beliefs are valued here.

01:28:48.880 Dear Latinx students, you will not find walls here. 1.00

01:28:55.240 Latinx? 0.67

01:28:56.860 98% of Latino hate the phrase Latinx. 0.92

01:29:02.040 But let white people decide for you.

01:29:05.260 Dear conservative students, your viewpoints are important.

01:29:08.720 Except they're really not at Penn State because they got so much backlash, they deleted the conservative students.

01:29:15.900 They have female students, LBG, TQ, I plus students, international students, Muslim, Jewish, black students, Latinx, but no longer conservative students.

01:29:30.680 Why would you send your kid into that hell hole?

01:29:35.040 There is a university or a college that I have never heard of before that is worth your consideration, perhaps.

01:29:44.740 We talked to the very, very, very brave president of New St. Andrews College in just a second.

01:29:55.020 Why do I say very, very brave?

01:29:56.960 Oh, you'll understand in one minute.

01:30:00.120 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:30:02.820 You and I are both alike.

01:30:07.600 We love our dog.

01:30:08.680 We love our dog.

01:30:09.620 We probably also both hate cats.

01:30:12.520 I'm only saying this to rile up the cat people.

01:30:15.300 It's just doing it just because Stu actually has to go through all of the tweets and the mail and everything else.

01:30:20.980 And all the cat people just dog pile.

01:30:24.500 Oh, look at that dog pile. 1.00

01:30:25.960 Right.

01:30:26.300 Anyway, I want my dog to live the fullest, healthiest, happy life that he can.

01:30:32.380 And, you know, if I felt that way about Stu, I'd give him rough greens as well.

01:30:37.740 Rough greens is something that can help your dog live a really, really healthy life.

01:30:43.460 Rough greens.

01:30:44.140 It's not a dog food.

01:30:45.100 It's something you put on top of the dog food.

01:30:46.820 I brought it to my vet and I said, should I give this stuff to my dog?

01:30:50.740 And she said, let me look at the ingredients.

01:30:52.740 When she finished looking at the ingredients, she said, absolutely.

01:30:55.380 This is really good.

01:30:57.560 Probiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, omega oils, some of the things your dog needs to live a healthier lifestyle.

01:31:03.820 And they're not getting it unless they are getting it through rough greens.

01:31:09.380 R-U-F-F greens.

01:31:10.820 So give your dog the rough greens 14 day jumpstart bag for $14.95.

01:31:14.900 You'll see the beginning differences in your dog.

01:31:17.920 My dog is a different dog because of this.

01:31:40.260 So last week we played a video that went viral online.

01:31:47.540 I want to play it again and I want you to listen to this.

01:31:50.500 Hey, Wokey McWokeface. 1.00

01:31:55.440 Quick question.

01:31:57.240 This black life mattered.

01:31:59.320 But doesn't this one?

01:32:00.540 Martin Luther King.

01:32:01.380 We know this black life matters.

01:32:02.960 Hey, unborn baby.

01:32:03.920 But why doesn't this one?

01:32:04.880 George Floyd.

01:32:06.080 Unborn baby.

01:32:06.600 We believe that all these black lives mattered.

01:32:09.160 And tens of millions of others too.

01:32:12.480 Murdered in the most dangerous place in this country for any black life. 0.89

01:32:16.000 A wound. 1.00

01:32:18.180 Murdered. 0.98

01:32:19.000 And dissected. 0.96

01:32:20.460 And sold.

01:32:21.820 Jeez.

01:32:22.420 We believe that each and every human life matters because every human life, regardless

01:32:26.540 of culture or color, is crafted in the sacred image of Almighty God.

01:32:31.260 Which is the only possible reason why any life could matter at all. 0.92

01:32:35.320 We believe that secular progressive white supremacists have been running a vile and genocidal population 0.64

01:32:41.860 control campaign against blacks in America that has straddled centuries. 0.97

01:32:46.920 Trying to keep them from life.

01:32:49.060 From adulthood.

01:32:50.300 From power.

01:32:51.640 From stable families and communities.

01:32:54.260 And that matters.

01:32:55.160 We believe that the organization Black Lives Matter, a registered trademark, is a Marxist

01:33:01.880 front that doesn't care about black lives even half as much as an average white pro-life

01:33:06.440 flyover Trump-voting evangelical. 0.75

01:33:09.840 Every single black life matters.

01:33:13.140 From conception to the grave.

01:33:15.160 And beyond into eternity.

01:33:17.420 That is God's truth.

01:33:19.420 And it's a hell of a lot more than BLM can say.

01:33:22.060 This shouldn't be hard, but clear thinking is rare these days, especially on college campuses.

01:33:30.060 All lives matter.

01:33:32.680 All black lives matter.

01:33:35.120 All.

01:33:36.580 Behind a badge.

01:33:38.600 On the street.

01:33:40.880 In the womb.

01:33:42.440 Philosophy matters.

01:33:44.320 Theology matters.

01:33:46.160 History matters.

01:33:48.360 Thinking matters.

01:33:49.960 Learn to think in unthinking times.

01:33:54.680 New St. Andrews College.

01:33:56.600 Clear thinking.

01:33:58.120 Clear teaching.

01:33:59.560 In person this fall.

01:34:02.180 Jeez.

01:34:03.280 Dr. Ben Merkel is with us.

01:34:04.620 He's the president of New St. Andrews College.

01:34:06.960 Ben, how are you, sir?

01:34:08.860 I am well.

01:34:09.560 Thanks so much for having me on.

01:34:10.660 Uh, so, uh, how much heat did you get for that?

01:34:17.380 Uh, you know, it's gotten, uh, considerable.

01:34:20.460 We had our mayor pretty upset at us and, um, uh, say something in a local paper.

01:34:26.920 Um, and we've had, uh, but, but to be honest, actually, I have to say the, the positive response has been outweighed it by about 95% to five, because I think a lot of people are so sick of being told that they're racist, um, because they don't support BLM.

01:34:47.400 Um, and I think that we were able to say what a lot of people sort of intuitively felt, but weren't hearing anybody articulate it clearly.

01:34:56.180 And who came up with this idea?

01:34:58.720 Whose, whose brainchild was this?

01:35:02.580 Our, our marketing team here, we, we've got, um, some, some friends that we hired to, to put this together, but they're all graduates from our college.

01:35:10.200 Uh, so I've never heard of new St. Andrews college.

01:35:15.760 Uh, you're in, of all places, Moscow, Idaho, right?

01:35:20.820 That's right.

01:35:21.440 Yeah.

01:35:21.560 We're the other Moscow. 0.91

01:35:22.800 Yeah.

01:35:23.120 We're a, we're a very small, very small private Christian college in North Idaho.

01:35:28.000 Uh, so very small little school.

01:35:30.460 Um, so it's, it's understandable.

01:35:32.500 A lot of people don't know about our existence.

01:35:35.620 And, and how long have you been around?

01:35:37.360 We started in 1994.

01:35:40.220 We grew, grew out of the, um, classical Christian education movement, uh, started in 1980.

01:35:46.120 And then we're a college that tends to pull from kids who have done classical Christian education.

01:35:53.040 So, um, Ben, you know, we, we're looking at our colleges now and none of them seem to have a spine.

01:36:00.940 I mean, I, I just told the audience about, uh, Penn state where they, they, they took conservative off of the, you're welcome here, um, because of backlash from their, their students and faculty.

01:36:15.520 What's really happening to our university system?

01:36:19.040 And, and is there, do we survive this?

01:36:24.900 Well, I, I think we could survive it, but it would take a really bold change for us to do it.

01:36:31.200 I mean, I don't think Americans, we, we complain a lot as conservatives about what we see as the deep state, the sort of unelected mechanism that seems to run our country, but can't be held accountable.

01:36:41.540 And I don't think we realize how much education is the ultimate deep state, both K to 12 and also colleges, um, our fact, the faculty and staff of most colleges, including your Christian colleges are dominated by progressive left, uh, ideology.

01:36:59.480 Um, every teacher, uh, votes Democrat.

01:37:02.660 They, there, there is, um, it's, it's really total how much the left has taken over education.

01:37:08.940 And I think that's why, I mean, I was listening to your show earlier and you were talking about how, how swiftly everything seems to have changed.

01:37:17.140 But I, I think that's because we have slowly had, um, basically an entire generation indoctrinated in a way that we didn't really realize was happening.

01:37:26.880 And now we're seeing the fruition of it, but it's, it's also, I mean, there are other elements in education.

01:37:33.120 I think that the way education is funded is a big part of it.

01:37:36.820 The federal money, um, has such, um, big strings that are attached to it and steer you in terms of your ideology.

01:37:45.020 And then the way accreditation and other things like that work, it really cultivates a leadership class that is all about, um, demonstrating compliance.

01:37:55.060 Like you just, you're not going to see college administration make any kind of bold move because they got there by demonstrating compliance over decades and decades of their professional life.

01:38:05.400 So they're allergic to those kinds of decisions.

01:38:09.840 It's, it's also, it's unreasonable to think that a, a school system funded by a federal government is going to teach.

01:38:20.860 Don't trust a federal government.

01:38:23.040 Don't trust the government.

01:38:25.540 Um, you know, you have to think independently.

01:38:28.120 You have to think for yourself.

01:38:29.680 There's no way how we expected that to happen is beyond me, but they haven't been teaching that for a long time.

01:38:38.980 Yeah.

01:38:39.580 Oh, real true government begins with self-government.

01:38:42.700 Um, I, it has to start there and then, you know, your own self-discipline, your own self-government then makes possible other real government.

01:38:51.380 But yeah, our institutions really, uh, depend on compliance with a larger state.

01:38:57.340 So that's not going to be something that they're going to inculcate in our students.

01:39:02.700 Um, for the per, the person who is thinking, well, I got to send my kid to college.

01:39:08.820 Um, and they're going into college this, uh, you know, this fall.

01:39:13.900 What do you say to that parent?

01:39:15.400 Uh, you know, I think you've got to ask some hard questions.

01:39:20.560 I think that a lot of parents, they, they, they have the impression that, okay, I know that the colleges are generally liberal, but they remember going to the college in the eighties and the nineties.

01:39:31.000 And they remember bumping up against those kinds of things.

01:39:33.440 And they assume that everybody's talking about the same kind of college that they went to.

01:39:37.640 And they don't realize how radically transformed the college campus is.

01:39:41.440 It's nothing like what we went through.

01:39:43.080 Um, so you, you need to ask some hard questions.

01:39:46.700 And I, I think that I'm, I'm torn cause I go back and forth on the one hand, people are paying exorbitant amounts of money for an education that gives them no, um, no real education whatsoever and hardly any actual, um, professional skills.

01:40:04.200 And so in a lot of ways I see the movement for like, we'll just go to a trade school and learn a trade.

01:40:09.940 That's a much, um, quicker way to get into a job and to avoid the debt and the indoctrination.

01:40:16.780 But at the same time, the reason why we're at the place that we are right now, it's not because we haven't learned how to employ professional skills.

01:40:26.320 It's because we haven't learned how to say, and, and I think that we need to, we need to reprioritize critical thinking at the college level, because that's what we have lost.

01:40:38.800 And now we're, we're not, it's not that we can't get a job.

01:40:41.440 It's that we have, um, destroyed our entire economy.

01:40:45.480 Well, you can't, uh, you can't learn to think from wokey Mcwoke face, as your ad put it, you, you can't learn critical thinking.

01:40:58.660 If you are, if you are told there are things that you can't think, can't say, and things are bad.

01:41:06.600 I mean, the, I don't, I don't understand how, uh, academia doesn't realize they have become the old church in the dark ages where we'll lock you in a tower.

01:41:19.720 If you disagree with us, that that's what's happening to us now.

01:41:23.120 And they don't seem to see that.

01:41:25.460 Yeah.

01:41:26.000 Well, I think a lot of it has to do with just that ultimate rejection.

01:41:29.100 Well, the rejection of ultimate truth.

01:41:31.080 So, so when you reject ultimate truth and what you have, everybody reverts to their own personal truth.

01:41:37.080 And then what happens is, is that you're dominated by personal emotion.

01:41:41.780 And, um, and, and so like, if you try to interact with somebody at a BLM protest, you're not going to get an actual argument.

01:41:49.220 What you'll get is them sort of vomiting up their emotion because that's how they've been.

01:41:53.680 That's what they've been trained thinking is.

01:41:55.800 But in the, um, in the, you know, in the traditional West, we understood that there was a transcendent truth that we all answered to.

01:42:04.020 And, and argument was about understanding these transcendent principles that we then looked to apply consistently in our lives and in how we treated others.

01:42:15.180 And that's where logic comes from.

01:42:17.340 That's where philosophy comes from.

01:42:18.720 That's where theology comes from.

01:42:19.800 So you, you have this larger, um, transcendent truth that you live under and it provides the kind of, um, cultural success that the West has had for a millennia.

01:42:31.960 But, uh, they're rejecting all of that.

01:42:34.760 And so all they can do is burn it down.

01:42:39.340 We're talking to Dr. Benjamin Merkel.

01:42:41.780 He's the president of new St. Andrews college.

01:42:44.300 I'm going to just want to spend a couple more minutes with him here after 60 seconds.

01:42:48.280 We're going to break for 60 seconds here.

01:42:50.240 Uh, let me tell you about, uh, real estate agents.

01:42:52.160 I trust if you are looking to sell your house, um, you need probably all sorts of things to be done.

01:42:58.760 Um, do you know who the best carpenter is to call?

01:43:01.200 How about the best carpet guy, the best plumber, somebody who specializes just in moving dirt.

01:43:06.040 Since you have some erosion in the backyard that has to be addressed to who does all of those things in your town.

01:43:13.180 Do you know anyone that does that?

01:43:15.720 Well, here's the answer to this.

01:43:18.280 You don't need to know all those people.

01:43:20.160 You need a real estate agent that knows all of those people.

01:43:24.300 When you're working with one of the real estate agents, I trust.

01:43:27.500 Then the answer is that person, that one person, real estate agents.

01:43:33.020 I trust free service to you.

01:43:34.720 The agents who work with us are the best of the best.

01:43:37.220 They know the best practices and they're going to work hard for you.

01:43:40.620 Get your house sold on time and for the most amount of money.

01:43:43.480 And if you're moving, find the right area for you.

01:43:47.360 It's real estate agents.

01:43:48.900 I trust the name says it all.

01:43:50.360 Real estate agents.

01:43:51.540 I trust.com.

01:43:53.140 Real estate agents.

01:43:54.440 I trust.com.

01:43:56.040 10 seconds.

01:43:56.480 Dr. Benjamin Merkle is the president of the new St. Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho.

01:44:18.420 Worth your consideration.

01:44:20.080 What is your tuition?

01:44:22.140 We'll be at about a little over $13,000, $13,500 this next year.

01:44:28.340 Per semester?

01:44:30.660 Nope.

01:44:31.320 For the year.

01:44:32.440 And we do not take any government money.

01:44:35.400 So no student loans, no Pell grants.

01:44:37.960 We didn't take any of the PPP money either.

01:44:40.520 So we reject the federal money.

01:44:42.360 But I think in rejecting the federal money, you actually make your college more affordable because you step out of a whole bunch of bureaucracy and everything that inflates the cost of the college.

01:44:54.900 So the 1619 Project, Oprah Winfrey now is going to be doing a new movie, a new film and TV series on the 1619 Project.

01:45:05.900 That's in our schools.

01:45:07.420 We have Black Lives Matter coming to our schools now. 0.99

01:45:10.780 How do we fight this as a parent?

01:45:15.800 I think that the thing you have to do is that you have to take education seriously.

01:45:21.140 This is what they are inflicting upon you.

01:45:24.560 But as a parent, you have the ability to make actual decisions about the kind of education your kids are getting.

01:45:30.780 There are private schools.

01:45:31.980 There's homeschooling.

01:45:33.120 There are ways to get involved with your local school board.

01:45:35.640 And we need to actually stand up and retake this ground instead of passively just sort of rolling over and letting this happen again and again and again.

01:45:44.980 If we don't do that, if we just continue to take it, we're lost, aren't we?

01:45:53.900 Oh, it's all over.

01:45:56.500 Absolutely.

01:45:57.340 The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, and that's what the teachers have been.

01:46:01.420 That's why I think education is the ultimate deep state.

01:46:04.320 Culture is something that you pass on to the next generation, but that handoff point where the baton is passed to the next runner that's happening in the schools, and we take our hands off that and we hand it over to somebody whose ideology is opposed to us,

01:46:22.660 and then we're surprised when our children are joining the BLM movements and these revolts.

01:46:30.920 I think it's just really sad seeing, particularly within the Christian world, how many of the next generation have been trained to hate everything that their parents stood for,

01:46:41.660 and their parents didn't even notice that it was happening.

01:46:43.380 Quite remarkable, quite remarkable, and I think you will agree that Christians and those who believe in the Judeo-Christian values of our country had better stand up,

01:47:02.180 because I don't think we have much time left if we don't, and that is a weird thing to say and to, for the first time in my career, kind of be provable.

01:47:13.380 You know, I could back up all of my statements of what was coming, but, you know, it still seemed like a stretch.

01:47:22.200 America not having much more time, if we don't stand up, seems very realistic to, I think, a lot of people now.

01:47:31.660 I think that that's absolutely true.

01:47:33.460 Dr. Benjamin Merkle, president of New St. Andrews College, the website is nsa.edu, nsa.edu.

01:47:46.480 Thanks very much for standing up and being a little bit of light in a vast sea of darkness.

01:47:54.280 Thanks.

01:47:55.060 Thanks so much for having me.

01:47:56.480 Really appreciate it.

01:47:57.160 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:48:07.240 Okay, you walk into your bathroom right now.

01:48:08.960 How much of the pile of stuff is dedicated to shaving?

01:48:12.600 A whole industry sprung up around the concept that you need to have every product in the book to get a good shave.

01:48:18.540 Razors with tons of blades and soaps and gels and foams.

01:48:21.880 There's probably somebody out there trying to get people to buy mud to shave with.

01:48:27.440 I guarantee it.

01:48:29.400 You don't need all of that stuff.

01:48:31.240 You don't.

01:48:32.120 You need a razor and you need Shave Secret.

01:48:35.760 It's an oil.

01:48:36.860 It's not a foam.

01:48:37.720 And it helps reduce or eliminate all types of shaving irritations for men and women.

01:48:42.620 Ingrown hair, shave bumps, redneck, bikini bumps, nicks and cuts.

01:48:46.400 Shaving is an important part of our lives, both men and women.

01:48:50.840 And for men who want to be women, I guess, maybe especially for them, there's no need to muddy the waters of shaving.

01:49:01.060 Get Shave Secret.

01:49:02.480 It's essential oils, a proprietary blend.

01:49:05.440 It's really great.

01:49:06.600 It's available regionally at H-E-B, Wegmans, Walmart, and Amazon.

01:49:11.000 Or you can go to ShaveSecret.com and use promo code BECK to let them know that I sent you ShaveSecret.com, Walmart, Amazon, Wegmans, H-E-B, ShaveSecret.

01:49:21.780 Back to back, Stu Does America and Glenn Beck.

01:49:24.300 BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.

01:49:26.100 Save the families, the code for 20 bucks off.

01:49:32.540 From the Standing Rock Ranch, this is the Glenn Beck program.

01:49:36.420 Kids were out stacking hay yesterday.

01:49:43.160 Had to bring in all the hay from the field.

01:49:45.160 And I was out trying to just grade my driveway because it's full of potholes and everything else.

01:49:56.400 Have to do that once a year.

01:49:57.400 And I got on the tractor about halfway down the road and it just stopped on me.

01:50:01.220 So I just got off and walked back home because I have no idea.

01:50:06.960 I have no idea what was, you know, I turned the key and, you know, nothing happened.

01:50:13.380 And I turned on the blinkers and the electric was still working.

01:50:19.620 And I got off.

01:50:21.020 I actually figured out how to open the hood of the tractor.

01:50:25.220 And then I realized I don't know what I'm even looking for.

01:50:28.740 I couldn't identify that's an engine, but I couldn't go deeper than that.

01:50:35.580 I don't know what any of those things are in there.

01:50:39.160 So I just I just walked away and.

01:50:43.700 And, you know, I just I'm not exactly a farmer or a rancher or an outdoorsy person.

01:50:50.700 I disagree.

01:50:51.080 I think you're doing it the right way, the right way.

01:50:53.300 Like, really, there is a romanticized view of farming and getting your hands dirty, but

01:50:59.900 it's also hard work.

01:51:01.220 I don't know if anyone remembers this.

01:51:03.160 Oh, my gosh.

01:51:03.880 Really hard work.

01:51:05.400 So the right way to do it is to have the nice tractor ride down the country road.

01:51:11.640 And then.

01:51:12.640 Yeah.

01:51:12.920 When it doesn't work out perfectly, you just hard.

01:51:15.760 Just get out and hope somebody else fixes it or you leave it on the side of the road.

01:51:18.720 Never.

01:51:18.840 Yeah, it's really it's you know, it might be it'll be one of those rusty tractors that

01:51:25.040 are sitting there in the field someday and the grandkids will be like, oh, I remember

01:51:28.980 that rusty tractor.

01:51:30.020 We used to play on it all the time.

01:51:31.380 Yep.

01:51:31.960 It's because grandpa just got off because it didn't work.

01:51:34.460 Full full full tank of gas there.

01:51:36.340 Yeah, right.

01:51:36.980 Like, but it's like with sports, like everyone wants to be the general manager of a football

01:51:41.200 team.

01:51:41.900 You want to make the trades.

01:51:43.000 You want to figure out the salaries.

01:51:44.220 You want to, you know, get the players in and draft them and sign them and all that

01:51:48.420 stuff.

01:51:49.360 There's probably like hundreds of hours a week of just, you know, HR paperwork that

01:51:56.060 goes along with that job.

01:51:57.680 No one wants to do it.

01:51:58.680 That's why you join a fantasy league and you do the fun parts of being a general manager

01:52:04.020 of a football team without any of the downside.

01:52:06.480 And that's what you're doing.

01:52:07.180 You're doing fantasy farming.

01:52:09.220 Right.

01:52:09.900 So my I am.

01:52:11.100 I really am.

01:52:11.800 Uh, my wife won't let me buy Buffalo. 0.96

01:52:14.440 I want, I want a couple of Buffalo and cause we have more than enough space for the Buffalo 1.00

01:52:20.480 to Rome.

01:52:21.360 Uh, if I may wax poetically for a second.

01:52:23.980 Beautiful.

01:52:24.400 Uh, and, uh, and they, and my wife's like, you don't even know how to take care of Buffalo. 1.00

01:52:29.560 And I said, no, that's the point.

01:52:31.600 You don't take care of Buffalo.

01:52:33.380 You leave them alone.

01:52:35.160 You just let them roam.

01:52:37.140 You don't, you don't take care of them.

01:52:39.380 Yeah.

01:52:39.620 Like people.

01:52:40.800 I'm not a farmer, but you don't like put food out in a bowl for Buffalo.

01:52:44.880 Do you seem like the type of thing I would imagine in the winter, I've got to do something,

01:52:50.720 you know, give them some sort of food, but you know, that's something I would look into.

01:52:55.020 You know, we make sure that if there were things you do, but I just know you, huh?

01:52:59.800 You look into it after you have the Buffalo.

01:53:01.740 No, I'd look into it before.

01:53:04.860 Cause if it's too much work, then I don't, I don't really, I don't really want a Buffalo.

01:53:09.200 I want, I mean, I just think that the Buffalo is probably the best animal to have because

01:53:14.980 it doesn't like you.

01:53:16.220 I like to look at it, but I don't want to pet it or do anything else.

01:53:20.460 I just like looking at it.

01:53:21.700 Uh, I can eat it if I get really desperate.

01:53:25.340 Uh, and so it just kind of stays away and does its own thing.

01:53:28.160 I think that's the right kind of animal to own.

01:53:31.080 Now I know there's a lot of people listening and go, that's why I have a cat. 0.99

01:53:34.620 Now cats suck. 1.00

01:53:36.600 Buffaloes. 0.99

01:53:37.000 I mean, if you were talking, if you're, if you're, if your cat was a Buffalo, I'd be

01:53:42.160 with you.

01:53:42.540 Well, I wouldn't, I wouldn't want a Buffalo if the Buffalo crapped in my house.

01:53:46.500 Uh, and that's what happens with cats. 0.99

01:53:48.200 Right.

01:53:48.620 In a little box.

01:53:49.380 Even if it was trained to use a little box, I'm not going to, I'm with you.

01:53:53.760 If a Buffalo jumps on my counter, I don't want a Buffalo.

01:53:57.040 I just don't want, I don't want one.

01:53:59.340 You'll get your Buffalo hair out of my, uh, my pretzel dip. 0.52

01:54:02.960 Um, yeah, I mean, that is, and this is an argument that my wife and I have had

01:54:06.820 for years and I don't think I'm going to win this one.

01:54:09.840 No.

01:54:10.260 Yeah.

01:54:10.380 You don't win many of those arguments.

01:54:11.900 Uh, none of those really come back with you victorious.

01:54:14.520 It's not the way those work.

01:54:15.680 Yeah.

01:54:16.580 Known you for a long time.

01:54:17.480 That's not the way those ever turn out.

01:54:18.800 Yeah.

01:54:20.060 Uh, well, we're, we're coming back.

01:54:22.120 We're coming back in a couple of weeks.

01:54:23.700 And, uh, my wife just said last night, okay, I think I'm ready to go home.

01:54:28.560 And I think it's because she doesn't remember what home was like, uh, or what is like,

01:54:33.660 uh, now in Texas.

01:54:36.040 I mean, we're just living a, we're living a normal life that I think most Americans in

01:54:42.460 the middle of the country are living.

01:54:44.140 Uh, and you know, if you're living in one of the cities, it's nuts.

01:54:47.640 It's nuts.

01:54:48.440 Look, Texas doesn't feel all that different than it ever has.

01:54:52.200 Honestly.

01:54:52.760 I mean, certainly many people would criticize, I guess, Texas for that.

01:54:56.420 But yeah, you know, you're not going to, to major gatherings, the concerts, the big sporting

01:55:01.280 events aren't around.

01:55:02.200 And that's, that's a change, but you know, most people only do that a couple of times

01:55:05.400 a year, probably anyway, the restaurants, I don't, it's not that much different.

01:55:10.220 You're more spaced out, you know, you're down to 50% right now.

01:55:13.960 Um, which is, uh, you know, it's, it's more of an effect on business than it is on, on the

01:55:18.520 average person's viewing or restaurant experience, because not that many people are going out to

01:55:23.080 them.

01:55:23.280 I mean, there's enough people who are just like hesitant and don't want to go out and

01:55:26.040 try it that it's not hard to get into most restaurants or anything like that.

01:55:30.240 There's not a, it's not, you see more people in masks, which can be annoying, especially

01:55:34.920 in, you know, yesterday it was 104 degrees here.

01:55:37.740 So the second you're thrown on a mask now, obviously most of the time you're only using

01:55:41.520 it inside, but still there's that moment where you're putting it on or you're taking it off

01:55:47.420 as you get outside.

01:55:48.020 It's, it's pretty rough, you know, that sort of stuff, but it's minor compared to where

01:55:52.880 we were in March and April.

01:55:54.320 I mean, it feels much more normal than it was just a little bit creepy.

01:55:58.280 And I gotta be honest with you.

01:55:59.320 I was thinking this the other day over the past few months, you I've cut down my human

01:56:04.520 interaction by let's say 80%, you know, I still see people occasionally, but like, you

01:56:11.060 know, you don't, you're not having as many gatherings.

01:56:12.820 Like my kid just finished a little league, you know, there's still that going on and you

01:56:16.040 still see people, but your interaction is much less and it's different.

01:56:20.140 You're standing a little bit further away.

01:56:21.660 Maybe you're not, you're not, you're not doing all of the same things.

01:56:25.140 We all know all the steps that people take.

01:56:26.900 And at this point it's become a little bit second nature to not walk up.

01:56:30.820 I mean, you don't have the Seinfeld close talkers anymore, really around everyone kind

01:56:34.120 of stay, keep their distance a little bit.

01:56:36.080 And I've noticed too, since all this started, not only have I not had COVID, thank you, thankfully,

01:56:41.740 but also I haven't been sick with anything else.

01:56:44.900 And that started me down this, this sort of like thought train of when you think about

01:56:49.240 it, the reason you're getting sick is because at some point during your day, someone has

01:56:55.040 breathed out some sort of droplet or touch something that you've touched.

01:57:00.460 And then you've inhaled or ingested something that has made you sick.

01:57:06.660 And as you go down this road, you end up in Howard Hughes's movie theater, peeing in

01:57:13.240 bottles and never coming out again.

01:57:15.580 I'm there now.

01:57:16.580 I'm there now.

01:57:17.520 I have a stack of milk bottles over in the corner.

01:57:20.300 I mean, it's so true.

01:57:22.540 It is.

01:57:23.340 You realize how gross it is that this happens.

01:57:25.800 But it's also really dangerous because look at how many things we're not fighting off

01:57:33.400 right now that are out there.

01:57:36.660 New bugs, new things.

01:57:38.540 We don't fight them off.

01:57:40.300 We start going back and we're all going to be sick.

01:57:43.180 It's funny.

01:57:43.940 I don't know if it adjusts that fast.

01:57:45.520 I know some people think that.

01:57:46.920 You know, one of the things I thought was really interesting going through all this COVID

01:57:50.580 stuff is that they have this mobility data, which just suspend your instinct to think

01:57:57.620 how creepy this is that they have all this data basically monitoring every single place

01:58:02.620 you go every single day.

01:58:04.580 And as of right now, they're just aggregating it, right?

01:58:07.620 And so, they aggregate it and they show a mobility change.

01:58:11.260 Like, for example, when we went into shutdown, it was never a shutdown.

01:58:17.860 Like, we never got past about half of people staying home.

01:58:20.320 I mean, that was about as much as we ever shut down in the United States.

01:58:23.500 But when we got down there, when you look at the numbers, about 25% of the population

01:58:30.380 was already in shutdown.

01:58:34.140 Like, they were already in their homes, very rarely ever leaving, not going to work, not

01:58:41.500 going to school, staying basically inside their homes all the time with the exception of

01:58:47.300 occasional trips for, you know, the grocery store or whatever.

01:58:51.040 People are, you know, some are disabled.

01:58:52.860 Some are just don't like to leave the house.

01:58:54.920 Some are, you know, my 600-pound life, almost all of them need cranes to get out when they

01:58:59.020 need to go out.

01:58:59.880 You know, I don't know what the situation is.

01:59:01.400 But I was shocked at that thought.

01:59:02.600 There's you.

01:59:03.280 There's me.

01:59:03.940 Right?

01:59:04.360 You and me.

01:59:04.920 Like, I don't want to leave.

01:59:05.800 Two of those categories.

01:59:08.540 I mean, I need a crane, but I got a crane so I can get to work every day.

01:59:12.060 Right.

01:59:12.620 But the point is that people, a good chunk of the country is already doing this shutdown

01:59:18.860 thing and is doing it all the time.

01:59:20.680 And those people don't, when they come out, get instant bugs and die in days because they

01:59:25.940 have no immune system left.

01:59:27.340 I mean, we're a pretty resilient species.

01:59:29.900 This is why this is such a notable event.

01:59:31.860 This is why we haven't had one of these in a hundred years, like, on this level.

01:59:37.660 These things, generally speaking, we take care of pretty handily.

01:59:41.300 It's just that...

01:59:42.280 I don't know if I...

01:59:43.220 You don't know if you buy one?

01:59:44.240 I don't know if I buy on this level stuff anymore.

01:59:48.800 I mean, I just...

01:59:49.940 I really don't.

01:59:51.300 I mean, I look at this...

01:59:56.180 Why aren't we just quarantining those people who are sick and saying to people

02:00:01.640 who are in the most dangerous or vulnerable situation stay home?

02:00:09.320 And all the rest of us go to work.

02:00:11.600 I mean, I think...

02:00:12.520 That's where we are in Texas, certainly.

02:00:14.120 I mean, you know, it's...

02:00:15.120 A lot of people are telling...

02:00:16.960 That's heresy.

02:00:18.480 That's heresy in California, New York, Michigan, a lot of big states.

02:00:25.780 That's heresy.

02:00:26.720 Most places are open, though, at some level.

02:00:29.240 California just closed down restaurants again.

02:00:31.900 A lot of companies are saying, you know what? 1.00

02:00:34.620 You can do your stupid job at home. 1.00

02:00:36.480 Just do it at home and don't come into my office. 1.00

02:00:38.620 I don't want to get sued by you because of coronavirus if you get it.

02:00:42.000 That's very common.

02:00:43.140 But at the company level, it's not particularly common at this point when it comes to state laws.

02:00:49.060 I mean, we went through a period of legitimate shutdown.

02:00:51.240 I mean, you know, Trump basically did six weeks, right, from mid-March to the end of April.

02:00:58.520 And, you know, some states went longer than that.

02:01:00.400 Some states went shorter than that.

02:01:01.960 Some states didn't do it at all.

02:01:03.340 Some, you know, places like New York are just really starting to open up.

02:01:07.800 But generally speaking, there's a lot more movement there than there was.

02:01:12.120 You know, I don't think it's one of those situations that we can't be in a constant shutdown.

02:01:19.820 And very few people are actually advocating for that.

02:01:23.020 The news likes to make big shows of all the people who come out and say,

02:01:27.280 we need to shut down for the next year until we have a vaccine.

02:01:30.180 Everybody realizes that's not sensible.

02:01:32.780 But, you know, taking some precautions to try to minimize the spread as much as you can

02:01:36.680 is obviously something you could do while having an economy open if people actually listen to it.

02:01:41.640 So I think that that's a sensible, sensible thing.

02:01:44.440 You've seen that you've seen a shift from the from the White House, I think, on that lately,

02:01:47.820 where they've been encouraging these things even more.

02:01:51.280 But I mean, when you talk about, you know, on the level in the United States,

02:01:54.120 certainly there hasn't been, you know, there has not been something that has had this sort of damaging effect in,

02:01:59.520 you know, since 1918.

02:02:00.920 I mean, you know, when it comes to infectious disease, there's really not a competitor at this point.

02:02:07.840 All right.

02:02:08.360 Let me tell you about our sponsor.

02:02:09.580 It's Rectech.

02:02:10.220 Sometimes you just want to stand out there in your skinny jeans at the Rectech,

02:02:14.720 you know, with your organic gluten-free craft beer,

02:02:18.500 gazing lovingly at the big old slab of tofu lathered up in vegan avocado oil.

02:02:25.020 Ah, nice, tasteful serving of lemongrass shoots on the side.

02:02:29.740 Life is good when you're a vegan, you think to yourself, shortly before passing out on the deck.

02:02:35.640 Well, the good news is, you can make vegan food.

02:02:40.360 My daughter's been making tofu. 1.00

02:02:42.640 We've been smoking the tofu on the Rectech.

02:02:46.100 Wow.

02:02:46.360 And we've been making big old fat, juicy steaks as well.

02:02:52.340 It's a smart grill.

02:02:53.760 It has smart grill technology and perfect stainless steel design.

02:02:58.420 Rectech's going to take your cooking game up to a much higher level, especially if you're grilling, you know, real food.

02:03:05.040 Been cooking with the Rectech for a few months now, and our family has gone from zero to hero.

02:03:10.300 I mean, I have for sure, because I burn everything.

02:03:15.740 Not with Rectech.

02:03:16.980 It is great.

02:03:18.920 Rectech.

02:03:19.680 Follow them on all social media.

02:03:21.540 Sign up for their newsletter.

02:03:22.900 It's kind of a family of great recipes.

02:03:25.340 If you're a griller, just find Rectech on social media.

02:03:28.840 And you can visit RectechGrills, with an S, dot com.

02:03:32.440 That's R-E-C-T-E-C, grills, dot com. 1.00

02:03:40.300 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

02:03:49.120 So the nuclear family is under attack, and you're going to start seeing this everywhere, talking down the family.

02:03:59.820 This is such a well-coordinated, well-financed.

02:04:04.300 Do we have the George Soros theme?

02:04:06.400 By any chance, Sarah, do we have that loaded yet?

02:04:08.380 But this is so well-financed by George Soros and others.

02:04:16.540 And it's a coordinated attack on our nation and all of the things that we hold dear.

02:04:25.200 Family is probably the thing that we hold most dear in our nation.

02:04:31.420 Our families.

02:04:33.340 Christmas, Thanksgiving, all built around God and families.

02:04:37.440 Well, those are the two things that are under attack.

02:04:40.500 Good news, in California, the California churches are starting to stand up, and you've got to stand up.

02:04:50.020 Catholics, you are in real, real danger. 1.00

02:04:53.320 This social justice, Black Lives Matter stuff is everywhere, and you've got priests losing their jobs because they're speaking out against it. 0.76

02:05:04.920 If you want to retain a faith that is based on Christian individualism and forgiveness, you've got to stand up.

02:05:18.040 Churches, you're being told you can't reopen anymore.

02:05:21.940 If you decide that you're not going to reopen, that's fine.

02:05:25.700 But you decide this is your First Amendment.

02:05:30.160 And because the governor of California has come out and said, well, you know, the protesters are doing something important.

02:05:39.940 Wait a minute.

02:05:40.840 Are you saying that the other First Amendment right of religion, that that's not important, too?

02:05:48.260 I think it's the most important thing.

02:05:53.280 And you've got to stand up and stand together.

02:05:58.380 And we are the more we look at our problems and don't fix our family and don't fix our faith.

02:06:08.080 The farther behind the eight ball we get.

02:06:10.380 Those two things are critical.

02:06:11.760 And tonight I'm going to show you the attack on the family.

02:06:14.460 And I'm going to correct the stats information you need to know.
