00:00:00.000 So, you never thought COVID could cost you your home.
00:00:02.780 It costs lots of other things, but would it cost you your home?
00:00:05.440 It could because, well, COVID has cybercriminals at home as well.
00:00:10.720 They can't go out of their house either.
00:00:12.560 So, they're sitting around and they're hacking your home title.
00:00:15.640 You don't want this to happen to you.
00:00:16.740 It's called home title theft.
00:00:18.400 Cybercriminals, foreign and domestic, are now after our homes.
00:00:21.500 And it's easier than you think.
00:00:23.240 Title documents to our homes are online.
00:00:25.320 So, they're hacking other stuff.
00:00:26.500 Why not hack this as well?
00:00:27.420 This is the big ticket item.
00:00:28.380 So, yeah, sure, you can get somebody's credit card, maybe charge $1,000.
00:00:31.180 How much money can you get if you steal someone's home title?
00:00:35.480 This is a problem that's growing across the country.
00:00:38.960 It's something that you can stop, though, as long as you get out ahead of it.
00:00:42.080 Insurance doesn't cover you.
00:00:43.620 Neither do common identity theft programs.
00:00:46.940 But home title lock will.
00:00:48.440 That's why I have it.
00:00:49.460 Home title lock, when they detect a threat, they help you shut it down.
00:00:53.240 If you go to hometitlelock.com, register your address.
00:00:56.200 See if you're already a victim.
00:00:57.600 Then use the code RADIO to get 30 risk-free days of protection.
00:01:01.940 The code is RADIO at hometitlelock.com.
00:01:04.440 Hometitlelock.com.
00:01:05.620 It's one of the fastest-growing crimes in America.
00:01:07.840 Don't let it grow all over you.
00:01:09.280 Hometitlelock.com.
00:01:10.540 The code is RADIO.
00:01:11.820 And, by the way, the radio program starts in just five seconds.
00:01:14.420 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:43.700 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:55.040 Hello, America, and welcome to the program.
00:01:59.500 My name is Glenn Beck from behind my cardboard microphone, doing my best not to be quite as white as I usually am.
00:02:06.700 Just to fit in, gang.
00:02:09.140 We're going to talk a little bit about the dangerous, dangerous white conspiracy theorists and the white extremists that are planning to overthrow our government.
00:02:20.540 Holy cow, thank goodness the House subcommittee had a hearing yesterday because I didn't realize how many white people who believe in the Constitution and believe in, you know, fair elections and, you know, mom, apple pie, baseball, those things.
00:02:42.000 I didn't realize how dangerous they were until yesterday.
00:02:45.940 We begin there.
00:02:47.140 And Dan Crenshaw coming up in 60 seconds.
00:02:50.460 So, Grace lives in Oklahoma, and she has dealt with lower back pain and pain in her legs for a long time.
00:03:02.340 She'd come home from work at the end of the day, and it was all that she could do just to make it through the evening.
00:03:08.600 So, over the years, she tried a lot of different remedies, but she could never just get at the source of the pain.
00:03:13.800 Nothing worked for very long.
00:03:15.340 Then one day, she happened to hear me talking about Relief Factor on the radio, and something I said convinced her.
00:03:23.340 Despite her understandable skepticism, she decided to give Relief Factor a try.
00:03:29.060 Grace, I can't thank you enough.
00:03:31.860 You know, my daughter asked me yesterday about something.
00:03:37.420 I don't remember what it was.
00:03:38.420 And she said, Dad, that's a commercial.
00:03:41.060 Do you ever do commercials for things you don't believe in?
00:03:44.980 And I said, no, never.
00:03:47.740 And she said, so you like these things, all the things you talk about?
00:03:52.280 And I said, honey, I don't ever do a commercial unless I like it or I have investigated it myself or I use it.
00:04:01.900 In the case with Relief Factor, I use it.
00:04:05.000 And I believe in it because it worked for me.
00:04:07.800 Well, Grace found herself coming home from work feeling just fine within, she says, a week or two of starting it.
00:04:16.260 The pain she had had for so long was finally gone.
00:04:19.640 Grace got her life back, and you can too.
00:04:22.740 Relief Factor is not a drug, and it works for about 70% of the people who try it.
00:04:27.560 They go on to order more month after month, and you should know within the first three weeks.
00:04:31.980 That's why they have the three-week trial pack.
00:04:34.640 Just try it for three weeks and see if you can't get your life back like Grace did, like I did, and hundreds of others that are in this audience.
00:04:42.780 ReliefFactor.com.
00:04:43.980 Call 800-583-84.
00:04:46.400 ReliefFactor.com.
00:04:47.680 800-583-84.
00:04:50.280 ReliefFactor.com.
00:04:55.380 Holy cow, Stu.
00:04:57.140 The House Judiciary Domestic Terrorism hearing, chaired by Jackson Lee, claims that over the last four years, the rise of domestic terrorism has just gone off the charts, specifically the violence from white supremacists.
00:05:22.560 Wow.
00:05:23.200 She says, over the last 10 years, 75% of the murders resulting from domestic terrorism were results of right-wing extremists.
00:05:36.140 Wow.
00:05:37.460 It couldn't possibly be an issue with the categorization of these murders.
00:05:41.860 What do you mean?
00:05:42.580 Like, when you don't call gang killings, for example, terrorism, which, again, I wouldn't necessarily think it is, but, like, you can eliminate a lot of murders by the way you categorize these things.
00:05:56.480 Yeah, well, you had workplace incidents.
00:06:00.060 Yeah.
00:06:00.220 You had disgruntled employees.
00:06:02.360 Right.
00:06:03.120 Not terrorists.
00:06:04.000 Not terrorists.
00:06:04.640 They were never terrorists.
00:06:05.520 They might say Allah Akbar as they're walking through the place, but that's just because they fit, you know, their supervisor.
00:06:12.420 They may have left a note that says, I'm doing this for, you know, Osama bin Laden or Al-Qaeda or, you know, the caliphate.
00:06:19.560 But who's to say what Al-Qaeda means?
00:06:21.100 Exactly right.
00:06:21.420 And it could mean anything.
00:06:22.260 It could be a guy named Al.
00:06:23.940 She then went on to say there are no good.
00:06:27.620 There are not good people on both sides.
00:06:30.340 No, there are not good people on both sides.
00:06:34.420 Yeah.
00:06:34.840 Yeah, there are.
00:06:35.860 She then accused Donald Trump of inciting the riot on January 6th.
00:06:40.640 She said that right wing extremists and white supremacists are the main cause, the main cause now of domestic terrorism.
00:06:47.740 The ranking member said that he was a little afraid that maybe his colleagues might just focus on domestic terror that they cherry pick from the right.
00:07:02.800 But I, you know, he, he brought somebody up who's been harassed and beaten by, you know, Antifa, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:07:12.100 We all know how crazy that is to bring that up.
00:07:15.280 Then Mr. Nader stood up and it was kind of hard for him to do, but he stood up and he pulled his pants up to his nipples.
00:07:23.040 And, uh, uh, Jerry Nadler, uh, claimed that, uh, most of this hate is due to religion is due to religion.
00:07:34.340 And, you know, I think when we're talking about domestic terrorism, uh, that's probably true, but that religion would probably be Islam.
00:07:46.080 I'm just, uh, oh, did I say that out loud?
00:07:49.820 Uh, when it comes to domestic terror and numbers of people killed, I would say that it would probably be, uh, Islam.
00:08:00.700 Now, a distortion of Islam?
00:08:03.300 Sure.
00:08:04.120 Uh, the really scary part of Islam?
00:08:07.040 Yeah.
00:08:07.820 I know a lot of, I'm not even going to say this.
00:08:10.420 Forget it.
00:08:11.740 There are good people on both sides.
00:08:14.120 Um, uh, he, um, Mr. Mr. Jordan, uh, you know, also stood up and he said that he was, uh, he was upset that the Democrats were only focusing on, uh, one side.
00:08:27.600 Uh, he said violence should be condemned, whether it's in DC or in Portland.
00:08:33.580 Oh, but then, then Wade Henderson came in.
00:08:38.340 He was, um, he was the first witness.
00:08:41.600 He's the CEO of leadership conference on civil and human rights.
00:08:45.940 And, uh, he had four points to make, and I think he sealed the deal here.
00:08:50.860 Uh, he said, uh, Congress must pass the domestic terrorism prevention act.
00:08:56.900 You should look that one up.
00:08:58.920 Stu, the domestic terrorism prevention act.
00:09:02.760 Well, that sounds like something I'm for.
00:09:05.420 I don't want domestic terrorism.
00:09:07.340 Right.
00:09:07.840 I would like to prevent it.
00:09:09.500 Right.
00:09:09.820 And I think we should act.
00:09:11.120 Right.
00:09:11.440 It all works.
00:09:12.020 It all works.
00:09:13.300 It all acts up.
00:09:14.280 Domestic terrorism.
00:09:14.780 Are you for domestic?
00:09:15.820 Are you a domestic terrorist?
00:09:16.960 No, I don't want it.
00:09:17.880 I want it to stop.
00:09:18.200 Then why are you against the domestic, uh, terrorism prevention act?
00:09:21.460 You want to prevent terrorism or not?
00:09:23.840 Mr. White supremacist, Congress must identify ways to find and eliminate white supremacy in the police department.
00:09:32.600 Okay, I'm for that, uh, but I'm not for these people doing it.
00:09:39.980 When you say these people, I think we know exactly what you mean.
00:09:44.820 Here's who I mean.
00:09:46.080 The elite white leftist liberals who all think they know better than anybody else, especially minorities.
00:09:56.620 That's who I mean.
00:09:57.400 Um, he, we have to have, uh, find ways to eliminate white supremacy in the police department.
00:10:03.580 Let me tell you something.
00:10:04.160 I lived in Louisville, Kentucky, and I remember one of the first days I, uh, I was living there.
00:10:10.600 I was watching the local news.
00:10:11.920 This is back in the eighties and, uh, I was watching the local news and I'm, you know, I grew up in Seattle.
00:10:18.600 Seattle, the, at the time, the worst thing that was happening in Seattle was another cloudy day.
00:10:25.500 I mean, we didn't have these issues, uh, like the rest of the country.
00:10:31.960 I don't think we ever had the clan.
00:10:34.180 At least I wasn't aware of it.
00:10:36.400 Um, you know, the, the issues were more about indigenous people and, you know, yada, yada, but it was still, it was not that big of a deal.
00:10:44.020 At least when I was growing up, so I move and, you know, my sister, did I ever tell you that story about my sister?
00:10:52.900 When I, I, I took her to a, a part of town, little Italy in, uh, in new Haven, Connecticut.
00:11:01.960 Did I tell you this story?
00:11:02.980 My sister, uh, Coletta, she's the oldest and not necessarily the wisest.
00:11:08.700 Uh, she grew up, you know, obviously like me and we never met anybody in the mob.
00:11:14.600 We didn't know people who knew people in the mob.
00:11:17.700 We didn't think the mob, you know, the mob was a joke.
00:11:20.660 You know what I mean?
00:11:21.540 For us growing up, you'd watch movies and you'd see it and you'd be like, okay, well, my sister, she either didn't watch those movies or she just thought they were just all made up.
00:11:31.000 Right.
00:11:32.020 Uh, and I'm living in, uh, in new Haven and we're going to this restaurant.
00:11:37.100 It was a really good restaurant, but it was owned by one of the mob bosses.
00:11:41.540 And, uh, and I, I don't want to even say his name, but, uh, I love him.
00:11:47.740 I love him.
00:11:48.480 If he were real, if he was, if the mob existed, which it doesn't, I love it.
00:11:54.380 Um, anyway, um, I said to her, I said, this guy is so stereotypical and I said, don't say anything, but he's like one of the kingpins here, uh, in the mob.
00:12:08.000 And, uh, so this guy comes and, you know, and I've played nice with him, you know, Hey, great restaurant.
00:12:17.000 And I love it.
00:12:17.660 I love it.
00:12:18.040 No complaints here.
00:12:19.400 Um, and he would come to the table and he came and he, this time he sat down.
00:12:23.800 I said, this is my sister Coletta.
00:12:25.040 Uh, and, uh, he sat down at the table and these, uh, talking, so, uh, what are you doing out here, right?
00:12:33.060 And, uh, she's had too many glasses of wine and she just thinks he's charming.
00:12:38.860 And she said, can I tell you something?
00:12:40.720 And all of a sudden I break out into a sweat and I'm like, dear God, what is she going to say?
00:12:44.980 And she said, can I tell you something?
00:12:46.580 My brother is so stupid.
00:12:48.040 Oh no.
00:12:48.900 Swear to God.
00:12:49.620 No.
00:12:50.360 She said, he said, you're in the mob.
00:12:53.080 Oh, and I was like, this guy turned to me and looked at me and I just went, and he, thank God, started to laugh.
00:13:04.300 Ha ha ha.
00:13:05.100 Your brother.
00:13:06.200 He's such a, he's such a dead man.
00:13:08.980 He's such a kidder.
00:13:10.680 Isn't he?
00:13:11.420 And all, I mean, okay.
00:13:13.220 So that's the kind of world I grew up in.
00:13:16.520 Did you have your tires slashed at any point?
00:13:18.800 Oh my gosh.
00:13:19.140 No, but I left the restaurant.
00:13:20.740 I said, what the hell?
00:13:21.860 And she's like, the mob, it might've happened around Al Capone.
00:13:25.360 It doesn't happen anymore.
00:13:26.120 I'm like, get out of my town.
00:13:28.880 Get out of my town.
00:13:32.500 So anyway, why was I even talking about this?
00:13:36.020 We're talking about the white supremacy or the domestic terrorism prevention act.
00:13:40.480 So I moved to Louisville, Kentucky in the 80s.
00:13:42.560 And one of the first news stories was about the cops and how these two cops had their clan robes in the trunk of their squad car.
00:13:54.860 Never a good idea.
00:13:56.020 Never a good idea.
00:13:57.120 That's not where you keep them.
00:13:59.600 You know, you might get some.
00:14:00.540 First, this guy is so wrinkled.
00:14:01.300 Yeah, and grease if you have, you know, some tools back.
00:14:05.680 I mean, just unbelievable.
00:14:06.760 And I remember watching it thinking, oh my gosh, I can't believe that still is a thing.
00:14:13.540 And now I live in a city where the cops are involved in the clan.
00:14:19.660 And I immediately, I was probably 22, 23 years old.
00:14:24.280 And I immediately realized this is real.
00:14:28.100 And I understand why black people are a little nervous about opening the door for a cop.
00:14:35.420 I got it immediately.
00:14:38.580 So I am all for let's stop the clan.
00:14:44.240 There's no people who are for white supremacy in the police force.
00:14:49.060 I mean, again, when I say this, I mean, I could say the Grand Dragon would probably be OK with that.
00:14:54.900 Right.
00:14:55.080 And let's look at it as a percentage of the population.
00:14:57.080 Yes.
00:14:57.520 You're going to basically you're going to round it to zero.
00:14:59.440 I promise.
00:14:59.960 Correct.
00:15:00.460 Correct.
00:15:01.220 Then he said Congress must pass legislation and appropriate to enhance the federal response to hate crimes, specifically citing white supremacists.
00:15:12.120 And they have to pass H.R. 40 giving African-Americans reparations.
00:15:16.820 Now, here's the thing.
00:15:17.980 I just I want you to understand why reparations is going to go through this time in some form or another, unless you stand up.
00:15:29.760 This is nothing about slavery anymore.
00:15:33.060 It's not about slavery.
00:15:35.080 You know, because the argument used to be who's going to get it?
00:15:38.360 How are you going to trace, you know, who gets the money, who doesn't get the money?
00:15:42.160 It doesn't matter anymore because white people are oppressive.
00:15:47.440 So if you're white, you don't get it.
00:15:50.940 You pay.
00:15:52.320 If you're anything other than white, you will get it.
00:15:55.960 You're not going to just give it to African-Americans because whites are have also kept every other race down by this oppressive system.
00:16:07.740 So it's no longer don't don't don't try to use logic with any of these things.
00:16:13.060 You can't argue logic anymore.
00:16:16.400 Because this has nothing to do with anything other than the premise that you must universally accept.
00:16:24.780 White people are racist and have oppressed all other races.
00:16:29.240 Because they're the problem.
00:16:31.600 So they caused all these problems, gained all this wealth by oppression.
00:16:39.040 It's time for them to have their wealth taken and given to anyone they've oppressed.
00:16:44.780 I agree with your premise that that logic has nothing to do with this.
00:16:48.020 But how can you constitutionally do this?
00:16:51.980 Oh, you can't.
00:16:52.800 You can't, right?
00:16:53.540 You can't just say, I think people with this color skin should get X, Y and Z.
00:16:57.660 No, there was a reason.
00:16:59.300 We amended the Constitution.
00:17:00.460 So things like that couldn't happen.
00:17:02.100 Yeah, but that is, again, you can't use logic.
00:17:05.560 We're talking anti-racism and anti-racism is different than being against racism.
00:17:13.060 Anti-racism, according to its own creed, must discriminate, discriminate against white people.
00:17:19.680 Right.
00:17:19.960 You must be racist against white people and white people are the only ones that can be racist.
00:17:26.980 So you must understand that they are racist and the only way to repair this is to punish them.
00:17:34.580 But, like, how could you do this?
00:17:37.860 Like, you would say, what, peep, if you happen to be a minority, come get your money?
00:17:43.700 Like, how?
00:17:44.220 No, they just, no.
00:17:45.200 It'll all go through programs.
00:17:46.400 They will just allot money to programs.
00:17:52.320 And I think by the time this, yeah.
00:17:54.560 And I think the time that this happens, it's going to happen in one of two ways.
00:17:59.340 And I'll explain.
00:17:59.900 Give me one minute.
00:18:00.820 I'll tell you.
00:18:01.480 Remind me.
00:18:02.200 One of two ways.
00:18:03.980 I should write that down because I'll probably forget one of them.
00:18:06.720 My pillow.
00:18:07.480 Best pillow I've ever slept with.
00:18:11.020 If you haven't tried.
00:18:12.480 How many pillows have you slept with?
00:18:14.940 You promiscuous man, you.
00:18:18.320 You just sleep with any old pillow?
00:18:20.580 I am currently seeing other pillows behind my pillow's back.

00:19:41.740 Okay, two ways reparations are going to happen in this country because elections have consequences.
00:20:03.040 So, the way they want it to happen is that it will be a direct transfer of wealth, that you'll take money from high-income, you know, people just raise taxes like crazy.
00:20:23.080 Yeah, you take money from Glenn Beck and give it to black people.
00:20:26.880 Glenn Beck is oppressed.
00:20:27.840 Correct.
00:20:28.020 They will – what they'll do is they will – the way they would like to do it is to have categories of people.
00:20:37.380 And so, everybody will pay a very high tax, but you will be exempt from it if you check this box, this box, and this box.
00:20:44.600 Okay?
00:20:45.420 So, you're going to be receiving the money if you check certain boxes.
00:20:49.140 I don't know how –
00:20:50.040 Okay, I don't either.
00:20:50.820 That's even close to constitutional.
00:20:51.360 I don't either.
00:20:52.400 Here's the way I think it is going to happen.
00:20:55.160 It's going to happen through programs.
00:20:59.020 Yeah.
00:20:59.380 So, they will just start taxing everybody really high, especially if you make over a certain amount of money.
00:21:07.300 And remember, if, you know, you're probably a race trader anyway if you're making a lot of money.
00:21:13.440 Yeah.
00:21:13.740 And so, you will be able to check boxes as well if you are in an upper category.
00:21:22.120 You may get some benefits from it, but it will generally be through programs.
00:21:30.620 And it'll be like the Great Society.
00:21:34.760 That was all supposed to help.
00:21:36.320 Well, we've spent $23 trillion on the Great Society since LBJ put that into effect.
00:21:43.720 $23 trillion.
00:21:46.920 The black community is not doing better.
00:21:52.320 It's doing worse.
00:21:54.100 It's doing worse because that dismantled that community and those families.
00:22:00.420 They were entrepreneurs.
00:22:02.020 They had more stable marriages than white people did.
00:22:06.920 I mean, that was a growing, thriving community that just needed a chance.
00:22:12.940 You know, they had stable families and they were entrepreneurs under the kind of discrimination that they had in the 50s.
00:22:22.280 Why, once that discrimination is supposedly taken away and the Great Society starts, how did that break up families and destroy things?
00:22:32.320 I contend because it was intended to.
00:22:35.800 And so will this.
00:22:37.660 But it is going to come through programs.
00:22:40.700 Hooker by crook.
00:22:42.480 Reparations are going to come because elections have consequences.
00:22:48.100 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:22:54.380 You know, it's nice when every once in a while the stars align and you get to do something both because it's good and because it saves you money.
00:23:03.100 Most of the time doing something good costs more.
00:23:05.780 I want to talk to you about switching to Patriot Mobile.
00:23:08.360 It is something that's good to do and also will save you money.
00:23:12.980 Patriot Mobile not only doesn't donate to leftist causes like Planned Parenthood, the way some of the big mobile companies do, but in fact, they donate to conservative causes.
00:23:22.460 The kinds of things that you and I get behind, like the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, but also they are cheaper than using big mobile.
00:23:30.660 And even then, you don't sacrifice the quality for a lower cost.
00:23:34.540 They're on the same cell towers as the big guys.
00:23:36.660 Their plans are affordable and customizable.
00:23:38.520 Make it a priority today to check it out, to stand with the people that are standing with you this month.

00:24:22.660 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:24:25.660 Pleased to have a very rare appearance on this program.
00:24:29.120 Congressman Dan Crenshaw.
00:24:30.700 Dan, how are you, sir?
00:24:31.700 Glenn, how are you doing?
00:24:33.820 Well, thanks for having me on.
00:24:34.820 It doesn't have to be rare.
00:24:35.900 You know, we can we can do it more often.
00:24:37.360 I just think it's hard to get the schedule right.
00:24:40.180 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:24:40.700 No, I'm not.
00:24:41.420 I'm not implying anything.
00:24:43.220 I'm just grateful that you're you're on.
00:24:45.280 It is rare to have you on.
00:24:46.360 And I really appreciate it because I want to talk to you almost every day because you're one of the guys who I think really gets it.
00:24:53.480 And and and is standing for the things that we need to stand for.
00:24:58.540 And there are very few people left that I think people on the right trust.
00:25:04.040 And you're one of them.
00:25:05.220 So, Dan, let me ask you a couple of questions.
00:25:08.400 I want to get into Texas here in a second.
00:25:10.840 But there's two stories that boggle my mind that I think you're uniquely qualified to talk about.
00:25:17.340 One is this story from military dot com today.
00:25:21.280 The Navy is making all sailors reaffirm the oath to the Constitution in the extremism stand down.
00:25:28.160 I find this incredibly insulting.
00:25:33.900 Can you comment on this?
00:25:36.940 Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:25:39.140 I don't have coronavirus.
00:25:40.200 I just got some in my throat.
00:25:41.260 I haven't heard that story, but it's it's concerning.
00:25:45.320 Look, I on the one hand, I'd love for sailors and Marines and and soldiers to reaffirm the oath of the Constitution every morning.
00:25:53.120 I agree.
00:25:53.900 And pledge their allegiance as well.
00:25:55.180 Why not?
00:25:55.820 Yep.
00:25:56.000 But this pretense is is concerning.
00:25:59.040 And it's clearly it's so obviously and clearly politically motivated.
00:26:03.560 And so what's this what's just for the viewers, I think, are aware of this.
00:26:07.520 Let's back up a second.
00:26:08.520 I think the premise of this is that, well, we had a lot of veterans on January 6th at the Capitol.
00:26:14.700 Right. That's the premise of all this nonsense.
00:26:17.080 But that just mathematically, that's that's not a good indication of where active duty military stand or where correct and more broadly.
00:26:26.000 Right. Just because there's a lot of people here does not mean that a large proportion of those people are indeed extremists or bad people.
00:26:33.400 Correct.
00:26:34.160 And and and wait a second.
00:26:35.720 I thought we were against that kind of profiling.
00:26:37.820 Right. I thought that was against the very liberal values that supposedly the left stands for.
00:26:43.240 But Glenn, you know, very well.
00:26:45.280 The left is not liberal.
00:26:46.560 The left is very anti liberal.
00:26:48.040 And I think as conservatives, we've got to say that more often.
00:26:50.400 Yes.
00:26:50.860 They have become genuinely authoritarian.
00:26:53.000 And progressivism is not in sync with liberalism.
00:26:56.220 All right.
00:26:56.820 There's a big difference between an Alan Dershowitz liberal and and a Democrat Party progressive.
00:27:02.900 They're totally different.
00:27:03.840 Totally different.
00:27:05.120 One other question, because I don't understand this.
00:27:10.020 Democrats have asked Biden to surrender the keys on the nuclear launches.
00:27:13.640 What they're doing is they're trying to take away the president's sole authority to launch nuclear weapons because they say it could just happen too fast.
00:27:22.640 And they want him to be forced into some sort of a committee before anything is launched.
00:27:30.820 So he wouldn't have the the nuclear football keys.
00:27:33.920 It would be with a committee.
00:27:35.060 What the hell is that?
00:27:39.200 It's extremely concerning.
00:27:41.620 Look, I mean, and it's from my point of view, your point of view, I'm sure it's hard.
00:27:46.000 It is hard to actually assess what you trust less.
00:27:49.840 Biden, who can't finish sentences very well or a crazy Democrat Party.
00:27:54.260 But but in the end, you don't it's pretty obvious what they're doing.
00:27:56.880 And Nancy Pelosi laid the groundwork for this even before Biden took office, talking about invoking the 25th Amendment.
00:28:03.360 And it was pretty obvious she wasn't even talking about Trump.
00:28:05.760 So, look, I think they obviously know that he has cognitive issues.
00:28:11.280 But the good news for America is that Biden's demeanor and general disposition is not to go just go launch nuclear bombs.
00:28:19.780 No, you know, I'll say a lot of things about the guy, but I don't think that's what his plan is.
00:28:24.680 And so this this feels a little bit disingenuous.
00:28:27.320 And I also feel like I mean, if he woke up one day and he was, you know, suddenly temporarily insane and he said, let's launch the missiles.
00:28:38.420 There's there are people and systems in place to stop that madness.
00:28:44.180 All right.
00:28:45.420 He doesn't have it under his bed.
00:28:47.040 All right.
00:28:47.200 It's not like in his bathroom.
00:28:48.560 He expresses it.
00:28:49.800 That's not how it works.
00:28:50.780 Yeah, right.
00:28:51.360 It's not like, oops, push the wrong button.
00:28:52.940 I meant to hit the I want more Coke button.
00:28:56.220 All right.
00:28:57.940 Let's talk a little bit about what happened in Texas, because it is it's insane on what's being said about the Texas grid and the Texas not being green, et cetera, et cetera.
00:29:11.280 Part of the problem is, is that we are green.
00:29:14.960 We lead the country in wind power now.
00:29:18.820 Right.
00:29:19.220 So this is a bit complex and I'm going to distill it as much as possible.
00:29:24.440 One thing that conservatives did right off the bat, you know, jumping on the means, which is what we do.
00:29:29.920 And it's fun.
00:29:30.820 But we put up all these pictures of frozen wind turbines because it's funny.
00:29:35.740 But that's not exactly why the grid went down.
00:29:39.480 And so it gave the left an opportunity to build a straw man argument against the right.
00:29:43.380 And they say, well, that's not really what happened.
00:29:45.420 And they're sort of correct.
00:29:46.740 But what did happen is a over time, a huge overinvestment in renewable energy and a huge underinvestment in baseload power and baseload power means things that can turn on quick and power the grid reliably.
00:30:00.020 And those things, there's only three of them, coal, nuclear and gas.
00:30:04.000 Correct.
00:30:04.340 In Texas, we have we have underinvested in coal dramatically.
00:30:08.480 A lot of our coal plants have been replaced by natural gas because it's cheaper.
00:30:11.700 So this is generally market driven.
00:30:14.520 Nuclear is expensive.
00:30:16.300 I wish there was more of it because it is the only carbon free energy that is reliable.
00:30:20.440 But we only have about four nuclear plants in Texas.
00:30:23.400 And we haven't really built many new gas plants either.
00:30:26.160 All the new gas plants are generally replacing coal plants.
00:30:28.780 And we've had massive population increases in Texas, massive, 20 percent, but still the best place to live.
00:30:35.180 Right.
00:30:35.860 So when you don't have enough baseload power, you're not investing enough in it.
00:30:40.200 You're investing a ton in renewable energy because it makes you feel good.
00:30:43.240 It makes you feel green.
00:30:44.640 But that renewable energy never works, never works when you need it the most.
00:30:50.220 It certainly doesn't work when there's no wind.
00:30:52.200 It certainly doesn't work when there's no sun.
00:30:53.840 And in extreme weather, that tends to be the case.
00:30:57.040 So, yes, it, you know, wind did go down dramatically.
00:30:59.720 I mean, you know, at its best, wind can provide quite a bit of energy for the Texas grid.
00:31:03.920 But that's at its best and you can't rely on that.
00:31:06.440 Right.
00:31:06.720 So the left is building the straw man argument saying, no, no, no, it's fossil fuels that failed.
00:31:11.500 And the question you have to ask them back is compared to what?
00:31:15.560 Really, compared to what?
00:31:16.720 Compared to renewables?
00:31:18.080 Because renewables won't work.
00:31:19.420 Well, that's just a fact.
00:31:20.800 They don't work in good weather sometimes, let alone bad weather.
00:31:23.600 Their own selling, from their own documents, wind power at most can provide 40% capacity at any given time.
00:31:36.240 At most.
00:31:37.140 It just averages out.
00:31:38.800 The wind stops.
00:31:40.100 And so all of the energy that is being produced stops.
00:31:44.200 So by their own estimates, it's 40% reliable for capacity.
00:31:50.820 Yeah.
00:31:51.460 And in practice, it's much less.
00:31:53.120 You know, on average, it's actually extremely, it's still very high, about 18%.
00:31:56.640 But that's on average.
00:31:57.840 Sometimes it's zero, zero percent.
00:32:00.440 And that's the thing.
00:32:01.540 Like when you're designing an energy grid, you have to plan for what does 100% look like on a given day.
00:32:07.960 Right.
00:32:08.140 Then you also have to, then you also have to plan for, well, what does 150% look like?
00:32:12.240 Like if the whole state freezes because it's a once in a century freeze.
00:32:15.340 Correct.
00:32:16.140 And that's basically what happened.
00:32:17.320 We needed about 150% more.
00:32:19.040 And over time, because we haven't invested in fossil fuels because, you know, green energy and such.
00:32:23.840 Again, I'm not against solar and wind.
00:32:26.560 But when you, but it is pretty obvious from a policy perspective that if you listen too much to the Democrats and take too many notes from them and take too many notes from California and you overinvest in these things and you federally subsidize it.
00:32:38.300 And here's the other thing that people don't know about Texas, we do prioritize electrons coming from wind.
00:32:43.680 So wind always gets to make a profit, but gas doesn't.
00:32:46.480 And nuclear certainly doesn't.
00:32:47.660 Nuclear often operates at a loss.
00:32:49.820 One other thing we do in Texas, which maybe we should look at, is we don't, this keeps our prices lower, but what we don't do is pay a capacity fee to plants that can generate capacity immediately and on demand.
00:33:02.140 So all the other states do that.
00:33:03.400 We don't do that in Texas.
00:33:04.300 It keeps our prices lower, but it also might discourage investment from these baseload capacity power plants, which again, the left loves, but it's not good policy.
00:33:15.680 So take me here, because I think the problem is exactly the problem we went through in 2008 with the banks.
00:33:24.580 There was a policy.
00:33:25.940 They wanted everybody to own houses.
00:33:27.700 So the feds made it easy for loans to be had that shouldn't have been taken out and they were pushing a policy.
00:33:38.280 And so everybody indulged and then it broke.
00:33:40.800 This is the same thing that's happening in Texas.
00:33:43.460 The federal subsidies for wind power make it much more economical to build those.
00:33:52.560 And so the people who are, you know, building and in this industry, they're like, I could get all this free money from the government for doing this.
00:34:00.180 Let's just build this.
00:34:01.980 I mean, isn't the subsidy a big problem?
00:34:06.700 It is.
00:34:07.440 I mean, I don't like these subsidies.
00:34:09.440 You know, one response Republicans have is say, OK, how about at least we make the subsidies technology neutral so that they can at least go to nuclear?
00:34:17.700 You know, here's a statistic for you.
00:34:20.240 Solar gets 250 times more subsidies than nuclear does.
00:34:24.060 Wind gets about 160 times more subsidies than nuclear does.
00:34:27.500 This makes no sense.
00:34:28.680 Look, I'm very pro-nuclear.
00:34:29.980 I am too.
00:34:30.780 It's expensive.
00:34:31.420 But if we're going to believe that we actually have to reduce emissions rapidly, then why are they against nuclear?
00:34:37.860 Right.
00:34:38.020 It makes me question their intent and their motivations, because it makes me think it's really not about the carbon reductions.
00:34:42.700 Because if you really care about carbon reductions, you'd be your number one goal would be to export as much clean natural gas as possible to dirty coal burning countries like China and India.
00:34:52.220 And you'd be investing in nuclear.
00:34:53.940 We wouldn't have to put a 90 trillion dollar price tag on it because we would we would be able to build at scale.
00:34:59.940 We would be able to invest in American nuclear.
00:35:02.100 We could build nuclear around the world.
00:35:03.640 That could be instead of China and Russia doing it.
00:35:05.940 And by the way, that means I also gain a foothold into nuclear capabilities in developing countries, which is really not a good thing.
00:35:11.520 So there's a national security aspect of this in the sense that America wants to be controlling the nuclear energy around the world.
00:35:19.580 There's a clean energy aspect to this.
00:35:21.260 There's a reliability aspect to this.
00:35:23.180 You're never going to get rid of fossil fuels.
00:35:25.200 But coal, nuclear, these are the most reliable things in really, really bad weather.
00:35:29.580 It's why a lot of northern states still have coal.
00:35:31.920 Not going to escape that.
00:35:32.860 And I think that the lesson from Texas is that there's definitely a ceiling to how much renewables you can have on the grid.
00:35:38.280 But it's not necessarily true that if you just keep building more wind, it's terrible for the grid.
00:35:44.140 But it is true that if you also simultaneously underinvest in baseload power.
00:35:48.900 Yep.
00:35:49.820 So there's a floor to that.
00:35:51.420 So there's a floor to that.
00:35:52.260 And there's probably a ceiling to renewables.
00:35:54.040 If you keep building renewables, it just becomes a waste of money at a certain point.
00:35:58.240 We're talking to Congressman Dan Crenshaw.
00:36:01.100 You are in Congress, so you see what's coming our way.
00:36:05.700 The things the Biden administration is doing and Congress is proposing with the Green New Deal, et cetera, et cetera.
00:36:13.960 This is all about changing every aspect of our life.
00:36:21.040 It's all about control and power.
00:36:23.760 And I don't mean that in the electricity sort of way.
00:36:27.840 And it's terrifying when you look into the way that corporations are now starting to incorporate what are called ESGs, environmental, social justice and governmental standards, which are a little terrifying when you understand the scope of what that means to the average person.
00:36:48.860 Yeah, so a lot's taken.
00:36:52.800 I think the quickest way to boil all this down is there's quite a different disposition on the left and the right.
00:36:59.640 You have to boil all of our policy differences down to the psychological disposition.
00:37:04.080 And on the left, that disposition is this.
00:37:07.060 We want to change the nature of man.
00:37:09.100 And we believe we can.
00:37:10.180 We believe we can use the forces of government and the forces of institutions to fundamentally change you.
00:37:17.200 And we'll keep fighting for that revolution no matter what.
00:37:20.400 We're not really sure where that revolution goes.
00:37:21.960 This is where it all falls apart because utopianism is, well, it's nowhere.
00:37:25.980 I mean, it literally means nowhere in Greek because it can't exist.
00:37:29.600 And you'll kill yourself trying to get there.
00:37:32.160 The right has a different disposition, a far more humble disposition that, look, there's about the best we can do with governance.
00:37:38.460 You cannot change the nature of man, but you can provide a good system and structural incentives and disincentives to get the best outcomes.
00:37:46.400 So that's a fundamental difference that does not change.
00:37:50.420 It's almost like people are born that way.
00:37:52.720 This is where all of this nonsense comes from.
00:37:55.220 They're always looking for ways to thwart it.
00:37:58.840 And we're always trying to point out to people, look, I know this feels good.
00:38:01.900 I know this feels like they're promising utopia, but we promise you that the path to hell is paved with good intentions.
00:38:10.360 And this turns out to be true every single time.
00:38:12.520 And last week is another indication of that.
00:38:16.660 Dan, I want you to know I'm going to be making a call today.
00:38:20.860 And you're probably going to hate that I say this, but I'm going to be making a call today after the program.
00:38:26.640 For the very first time since last week, a name has come to me that I need to pass on to Premier Radio Networks on a replacement for Rush Limbaugh.
00:38:36.460 I think you could replace Rush Limbaugh.
00:38:39.360 That answer was so clear and explaining a very complex thing.
00:38:46.360 This is why we would like you to be on the show.
00:38:48.380 Doesn't he already have a job?
00:38:49.260 No, he already has a job.
00:38:50.780 But, you know, maybe you can do it.
00:38:53.440 I have a podcast, too.
00:38:54.880 You know, I have a podcast.
00:38:56.260 There you go.
00:38:58.100 What's the name of your podcast?
00:39:00.700 Hold These Truths.
00:39:01.960 Hold These Truths.
00:39:02.800 Okay, Dan, thank you.
00:39:04.740 We'll talk again.
00:39:05.540 I appreciate the compliment, Glenn.
00:39:06.540 Appreciate it.
00:39:07.080 I appreciate the compliment.
00:39:08.240 Quite the compliment coming from you.
00:39:09.840 I really appreciate it.
00:39:10.760 You bet.
00:39:10.980 Great being on with you.
00:39:11.800 You bet.
00:39:12.120 Bye-bye.
00:39:13.000 Dan Crenshaw.
00:39:14.580 I mean, wasn't that a clarifying answer?
00:39:17.920 I mean, he's a really smart guy.
00:39:19.800 All right.

00:40:37.200 We have a really powerful hour next hour where I'm going to.
00:40:42.180 The reason why you should listen is because the world I am describing, I don't think, is the world that most people think they currently live in.
00:40:53.280 And it is.
00:40:54.960 And we'll explain that coming up in a few minutes right after the break.

00:41:08.960 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:41:10.960 I want to talk to you a little bit about mowing your lawn.
00:41:14.140 There is, I hate mowing my lawn when it's really hot.
00:41:17.780 And if you have to push the mower, I'm not going to do it.
00:41:21.040 I'm not going to do it.
00:41:22.920 However, I love mowing the lawn if I'm driving.
00:41:27.940 If I'm, you know, I don't want a riding motor.
00:41:29.920 That's just fun.
00:41:30.360 It's just driving around.
00:41:31.240 It is.
00:41:31.620 It is.
00:41:32.300 And it's a time for you to be kind of, you know, by yourself and just think, which I really enjoy that quiet time.
00:41:40.060 And it's too, you know, you're driving a lawnmower so people can't bother you.
00:41:43.440 Exactly right.
00:41:43.780 You could always just point it at them.
00:41:45.180 Yeah.
00:41:45.860 Anyway, Hustler makes the best lawnmower where if you have, you know, you have some lawn, a big lawn, this is a zero turn lawnmower.
00:41:55.300 And these are the people that invented this over 55 years ago.
00:41:59.240 And they have been perfecting it for, you know, big industrial kind of lawns and lawn mowing services.
00:42:08.680 It's now available to you.
00:42:10.580 The Hustler's trademark smooth track steering is so advanced, it is a light years ahead of everybody else.

00:42:30.040 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:42:55.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:43:01.660 Project Veritas has come out and said Salesforce, the company Salesforce, plans to blacklist clients for political speech, citing the Capitol riots.
00:43:19.220 In what most people would say is unrelated news other than the same topic of banning people, Twitter banned hundreds of accounts for undermining NATO.
00:43:32.780 These two stories are much more than just in the same category.
00:43:40.560 They are connected.
00:43:43.440 I want you to listen this hour because I think you need to start looking at the world entirely differently.
00:43:51.160 There is a lot going on and we've got to start understanding broad categories.
00:43:59.420 And the world that I am trying to line out for you and show you, it is so important that you understand it because it is it is not the world that most people think they live in.
00:44:13.080 But the change has already happened and you have to stop thinking the world works the way it used to because it doesn't.
00:44:24.400 We begin there in 60 seconds.
00:44:29.640 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:44:31.420 If you have been living with pain and you desperately want to get your life back, I'm here to tell you that not only do I understand firsthand what it's like,
00:44:43.080 it's called Relief Factor.
00:44:45.720 The only reason why I'm trying to get you to try it is because I was I didn't want to try it.
00:44:51.520 I didn't believe it's all natural.
00:44:53.920 Please have some ibuprofen 800.
00:44:56.880 Shut up.
00:44:59.060 All natural.
00:45:00.400 Yeah, I'm going to go eat some tree bark and it's going to work.
00:45:03.260 I don't believe in any of that stuff.
00:45:05.300 I tried Chinese medicine.
00:45:07.280 I've tried everything.
00:45:09.640 And nothing lasted for me.
00:45:11.880 So I was more than a little skeptical when Relief Factor said, just try it.
00:45:17.740 OK, I tried it.
00:45:20.860 70% of the people who try it find within three weeks results.
00:45:26.740 I found them within three weeks and I came home from vacation.
00:45:30.480 I found them in two weeks.
00:45:31.720 I came home from vacation a couple of years ago over Christmas and I was like, I got to order more of this.
00:45:38.480 This is working.
00:45:39.420 Relief Factor has changed my life and it has changed so many people in our audience.
00:45:45.840 Their life.
00:45:46.500 I want you just to try it.
00:45:48.140 Three weeks.
00:45:49.780 You'll know.
00:45:51.340 Relief Factor dot com.
00:45:52.600 Relief Factor dot com.
00:45:54.020 Call 800-500-8384.
00:45:56.460 Get the three week trial pack.
00:45:58.280 Relief Factor dot com.
00:46:00.080 There are so many things that we talk about and that I have talked about that I have a new understanding.
00:46:17.240 You know, the the older you get, the more you realize I don't really I don't really know anything.
00:46:25.420 You know, when you're young, you become very arrogant that I know what's going on.
00:46:31.400 I mean, it starts with your parents.
00:46:32.840 I'm smarter than my parents.
00:46:34.260 My parents don't get it.
00:46:35.520 And then when you get a little older and by the time you're 30, hopefully, you're like, you know, my parents did kind of get it.
00:46:44.680 Uh, and you start to realize you don't have any answers.
00:46:50.080 The only thing I am certain of.
00:46:54.140 Is God.
00:46:56.680 And that I am not certain about anything.
00:47:01.080 I am not certain about the makeup of God.
00:47:04.100 I'm not certain about anything.
00:47:06.400 I'm open to any possibility.
00:47:11.160 That is an important place to be.
00:47:14.680 Because if you hold fast to where you have been, you will not be able to move to the next place.
00:47:26.280 And the country and the world has already moved to the next place.
00:47:33.600 If you're a longtime listener of this program, you know that back in 2009 or 10,
00:47:40.200 my staff had a very frightening meeting.
00:47:45.200 One of my lead guys on my staff had a meeting with the lead guy from George Soros.
00:47:51.740 And it was very disturbing.
00:47:53.980 It was a threat.
00:47:55.200 You will stop doing these things because my client feels that they're being hurt by it.
00:48:04.420 I don't think you understand.
00:48:05.960 You will stop doing these things.
00:48:08.340 No.
00:48:08.760 The last thing that was said at that meeting was, I don't think you really understand.
00:48:16.300 The ship has already sailed.
00:48:19.600 And you're either on it or you're not.
00:48:22.580 Get on the ship.
00:48:25.800 To which my representative said, you can tell Mr. Soros, I'm pretty sure even without asking,
00:48:34.820 my boss doesn't want to be on that ship and is not going to get onto that ship.
00:48:41.300 But this ship has already sailed.
00:48:48.000 And I believe it sailed around the time that I was being told.
00:48:52.220 It was maybe still being loaded, but it is deep, deeply past the channel.
00:48:59.440 It is in deep ocean waters now.
00:49:01.860 And you have to understand, the world you live in is not the world you have been in before.
00:49:18.240 Let me start here.
00:49:20.060 I have said for a long time that one of the big pressures that's pushing all of this,
00:49:32.960 and we never talk about it, is the turmoil that is coming from the technological and information revolution.
00:49:46.320 We are in both of those revolutions right now.
00:49:49.660 So, take the industrial revolution, which took from the cotton gin, where you didn't need manual labor,
00:49:57.440 to the, let's just even say, just the plants that built World War II and built all the armaments.
00:50:10.860 That was a hundred years.
00:50:12.800 That was a hundred years of going from farming and doing it all by horse and hand,
00:50:19.660 to an industrial revolution, which we're building airplanes that didn't even, they didn't exist.
00:50:28.220 Electricity didn't exist with the cotton gin.
00:50:30.920 All of those changes, indoor plumbing, running water, toilets inside, just I keep focusing on, you know, the indoor plumbing,
00:50:41.180 because it was a pretty big deal, to automobiles, to airplanes, to living in cities, to working in factories.
00:50:51.440 All of that happened in a hundred years, one hundred years.
00:50:56.020 Now, that seems like a very short period of time, if you're looking at that on the stance of humanity.
00:51:03.000 Well, that was really rapid.
00:51:05.280 That was a big change.
00:51:06.900 In the middle of that, we had a civil war.
00:51:14.160 And partly because that old way was dying.
00:51:19.420 It was out.
00:51:21.820 There was no place for it to go.
00:51:23.640 Most people don't know that the northern states, the New England states, at the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence,
00:51:32.520 anything up north, they passed laws against slavery years before the United States government passed them.
00:51:47.520 The states did it themselves.
00:51:49.120 In fact, if those states were a country, they beat the entire world to the abolition of slavery.
00:51:59.260 No one did it before the northern states did in the United States of America.
00:52:03.800 No one did.
00:52:04.900 We were first, with the exception of the South.
00:52:08.840 And the South was focused on money.
00:52:11.260 They were focused on industry.
00:52:13.700 They were making all of the cotton for the world.
00:52:16.900 It was us, Egypt, India.
00:52:19.300 That's it.
00:52:21.220 We needed that slave power, they would say, because we're producing these products and it can't be produced by just a farm.
00:52:32.220 We have to have slaves do the labor.
00:52:35.600 Wrong then.
00:52:36.880 Wrong now.
00:52:37.760 Got it.
00:52:40.360 Cotton gin comes in.
00:52:42.200 That whole way of life is now threatened.
00:52:44.840 Wait a minute.
00:52:45.540 Wait a minute.
00:52:46.000 Wait a minute.
00:52:46.900 That machine can do what all those people can do?
00:52:50.640 Yeah.
00:52:51.480 Well, okay.
00:52:52.580 Let's release.
00:52:53.220 You can't release.
00:52:54.780 That's a way of life.
00:52:56.500 And you also have to reject now yourself and say, oh, I guess these people aren't inferior.
00:53:05.920 I was just using them for cheap labor.
00:53:09.280 You're not going to do that.
00:53:10.540 You have generations of your family and of your state, your area saying that this isn't wrong.
00:53:20.920 We're not doing it for money.
00:53:22.420 We're doing this because they're inferior.
00:53:24.660 So as this industrial revolution starts to kick in, you have that conflict because their way of life is going away.
00:53:35.740 That is what's happening now, and the left wants you to believe that it's because white supremacists feel that their supremacy is going away.
00:53:49.520 That's not true.
00:53:51.520 The entire world is going through.
00:53:56.740 I should say the entire Western world is going through a period of time right now where we are being told.
00:54:04.320 If you're in Sweden, you don't have a worthy culture.
00:54:09.580 Yes, you do.
00:54:11.160 Yes, you do.
00:54:12.680 And so do people in Ethiopia.
00:54:14.460 They have a worthy culture.
00:54:16.660 Not all of it.
00:54:18.740 But they have a way of life that they have lived.
00:54:21.820 I go to any place and say your culture isn't good.
00:54:26.180 That's called colonialism.
00:54:27.220 Your culture isn't good, so I'm going to destroy your culture and impose this culture on you as a people.
00:54:35.600 That's what people are feeling.
00:54:38.020 They're feeling reverse colonialism, if you will.
00:54:42.900 You're being told your culture isn't good.
00:54:47.500 It's all bad, and they're trying to destroy it.
00:54:50.860 Well, that's happening everywhere in the Western world.
00:54:54.720 The real rub isn't cultural.
00:55:01.680 The underlying rub is that you can no longer control and herd people.
00:55:11.620 There are two very big industries that are being disrupted that people only look at one of them as an industry.
00:55:20.320 But you have to realize they are both industries.
00:55:27.900 One of them is the media.
00:55:31.440 The media has done everything to tell all the news that's fit to print.
00:55:42.140 Teach people what's right, what's wrong.
00:55:44.740 Shape the country by what we report and what we don't report.
00:55:50.520 And that was a very regal job.
00:55:53.320 And a job maybe in the 1800s or the early 1900s, before they started apologizing for Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin.
00:56:03.100 Maybe they did a good job.
00:56:04.760 I don't know.
00:56:05.860 But people trusted them.
00:56:08.400 They were the authority in news.
00:56:10.940 All of that is being disrupted.
00:56:14.220 The Washington Post.
00:56:16.580 It's being disrupted.
00:56:19.220 And it's being destroyed.
00:56:23.300 There's a second industry that is being destroyed.
00:56:28.720 And these two industries are linking together with a third one.
00:56:32.840 And it is what is truly going on.
00:56:38.440 It is the future of the world unless you stand together.
00:56:45.520 All Americans, left and right.
00:56:48.360 I shouldn't say that.
00:56:49.280 Liberal and Republican and independent.
00:56:52.980 If you're on the left or if you're quite honestly part of the corrupt right, you're going to be part of the problem.
00:57:01.820 I'll explain in 60 seconds.
00:57:08.840 Our sponsor of this half hour is Real Estate Agents I Trust.
00:57:13.400 If you're trying to sell your house, you need the person that is not going to tell you we're going to have another open house on Saturday.
00:57:21.320 You need somebody that is coming to the plate with clients that are already visiting their website, already looking at houses, already in line for a house like yours.
00:57:32.240 You need the best real estate agent in your area.
00:57:35.620 The one with the track record of selling homes on time for the most amount of money and helping their clients find the right home in their area.
00:57:44.760 That's why I want you to go to realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:57:47.840 We've done all the vetting for you.
00:57:49.820 We also keep close track of all of these real estate agents and we're constantly updating our information.
00:57:56.140 So we have certain parameters.
00:57:57.740 If they start falling out of those parameters, we no longer recommend them.
00:58:00.780 This is a free service to you.
00:58:02.540 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:58:04.680 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:58:07.760 Ten seconds.
00:58:08.380 Station ID.
00:58:19.380 The second industry is politics.
00:58:24.960 We have grown up in a world to where we think politics is service.
00:58:35.360 I'm serving my country.
00:58:38.280 We've always known that there are corrupt people, etc., etc., but we always still looked at it as an honorable, noble, at least aspirationally.
00:58:55.320 A noble career.
00:58:58.580 It's why we treat people with respect, such respect.
00:59:01.740 Oh, Senator, how are you?
00:59:03.000 Even after they're not Senator.
00:59:04.640 Oh, Senator.
00:59:05.820 Even after they're not President.
00:59:07.540 Oh, Mr. President.
00:59:09.640 We hold that in high esteem.
00:59:12.700 That has given them the ability to work behind the scenes and do all kinds of things and enrich themselves.
00:59:25.000 How is it that congressmen and senators and presidents go in poor and they leave fabulously wealthy?
00:59:33.780 That's not service.
00:59:35.220 Because in any other industry, that would be called crime.
00:59:40.700 We would call Congress a crime family because of all of the dealings, but they make the laws and so they make them so they can do these things.
00:59:52.180 So they're not a crime family.
00:59:56.000 We have lost faith in everything.
01:00:00.120 By saying that Donald Trump caused this or anybody caused this.
01:00:10.180 I heard somebody describe it the other day as taking a handful of sand and taking one piece of sand out and holding it up and saying,
01:00:21.900 that's the beach.
01:00:24.800 It's not the beach.
01:00:26.220 That's one piece of sand.
01:00:29.160 Donald Trump is not the beach.
01:00:32.400 He is not the reason.
01:00:34.980 Talk radio, not the reason.
01:00:37.840 Our crazy EDU, not the reason.
01:00:42.740 Some of the crazy people and the corrupt people in Congress, not the reason.
01:00:46.860 Marxists, not the reason.
01:00:53.620 Climate change, not the reason.
01:00:58.580 All of them are grains of sand.
01:01:02.820 All of them.
01:01:04.580 All of the everything you can think of is the beach.
01:01:08.280 Because we no longer believe in the institutions that, honestly, you and I both know they run like they're 1950.
01:01:26.300 When you do something, look, you're going to Amazon now, not because you're a fan of Jeff Bezos or I'm a big believer.
01:01:34.940 I wear the Amazon smile T-shirt all the time.
01:01:38.500 I don't know anybody that does that.
01:01:40.940 You go to Amazon because it works and it works better than anything else.
01:01:47.540 And it is the future of the way we are going to be buying things.
01:01:53.620 And we know it, not because of Graft or anything else, not because of a deal they brokered with the government, but because they built a great company that doesn't work like things have been working since the days of the mercantile.
01:02:14.980 Things have changed.
01:02:17.220 We don't have trading posts.
01:02:19.180 We don't have mercantiles.
01:02:20.800 We are losing the mall.
01:02:24.400 Okay.
01:02:26.000 Normal.
01:02:27.640 Change.
01:02:29.660 But this change doesn't require you as much as the mall did.
01:02:38.320 It doesn't require, it doesn't hire you.
01:02:42.480 And it's only going to get worse as technology gets better.
01:02:47.220 I lead less humans.
01:02:53.000 So what do you do when you have a huge change in the world, which is normal?
01:03:02.700 It's compressed in about a 10 year period, not a hundred or plus years in about a 10 year period.
01:03:11.180 And the stress is only beginning.
01:03:13.080 And you've unleashed people.
01:03:15.700 We've always had crazy people on our street that was like, oh, that's crazy.
01:03:19.300 Bob, he lives on the corner of the street.
01:03:20.640 Just we all avoid him.
01:03:21.860 Well, you can't now because crazy Bob, who lives on my street, you've got a crazy Tom that lives on your street and they all have a Facebook page now.
01:03:31.400 And they're all connecting.
01:03:35.720 Is that good or is that bad?
01:03:39.820 I'll share both sides of that to help describe the new world that you're living in and what the problem really is.
01:03:49.340 And the solution our overlords believe they're going to give us in just a minute.
01:04:03.480 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:04:06.240 All right.

01:04:13.520 Don't go, whatever you do, don't go get in the closet, take the baseball bat, you knock the handle off the door.
01:04:24.960 If you have to don't go now for anybody who attended those timeshare seminars, how do you get out?
01:04:39.000 How do you get out of underneath that thing?
01:04:41.540 Because it's not what they promised.
01:04:43.180 It's not what you need.
01:04:45.140 It's not working out for you.
01:04:47.220 Is there any legal way out of this?
01:04:49.120 Because you signed a contract.
01:04:51.220 Actually, there is.

01:05:28.520 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:05:37.740 I want to explain the world that you're living in, not the world that we think we're living in.
01:05:45.320 Because the changes have already happened.
01:05:47.820 And the things we have to stop saying, I can't believe that.
01:05:51.840 The reason why we're saying that is because we think we're living in a world that was operating the way it used to.
01:05:59.300 It's not.
01:06:00.940 So stop being shocked by things.
01:06:03.520 Stop being pissed off by things.
01:06:05.980 And instead, start to look at things as they really are.
01:06:10.220 Because if we look at them as they really are, we can logically deal with it.
01:06:16.320 And we can also stop it and stop playing the game.
01:06:23.960 There are two industries I told you about, media and government, that are losing their power.
01:06:31.100 But there are other industries that have lost their credibility.
01:06:35.760 There is really pretty much all big business.
01:06:39.300 When we say, when people say, oh, I trust business, they don't mean big business.
01:06:43.360 They don't mean GE.
01:06:44.260 They mean the business down the street.
01:06:47.340 The people that they think are more like them because they know them.
01:06:51.920 You trust the business people in your own town.
01:06:55.600 But if I ask you, do you trust, do you trust your local, locally run, not connected at all with any other big bank?
01:07:05.180 Do you trust that bank?
01:07:07.420 Most people would say, yeah.
01:07:10.000 If you explain to them, they're completely disconnected from anybody else.
01:07:14.000 This is a locally owned and operated bank.
01:07:16.500 Yes, I trust them.
01:07:17.960 Do you trust Citibank, Bank of America?
01:07:21.080 Nope.
01:07:22.600 So these industries are in trouble.
01:07:24.620 And they're in trouble with trust because of something I told you would happen a few years ago, which would be the beginning of the reset, or I called it the new world order.
01:07:36.180 The trust implosion when people no longer trust.
01:07:42.840 Well, we don't trust the media.
01:07:44.400 We don't trust government.
01:07:45.860 We don't now trust the government's doctors.
01:07:49.020 We don't trust their preventions.
01:07:52.640 Some people don't even trust their vaccines.
01:07:55.140 And that goes two ways.
01:07:56.340 Don't tell me that I have to trust the vaccine.
01:07:58.420 And when you told me if Donald Trump was in charge, you wouldn't trust it.
01:08:03.280 You wouldn't take it.
01:08:04.320 So don't tell me that I'm some kind of denier.
01:08:08.000 I was skeptical of it when Donald Trump was in office.
01:08:11.580 I'm skeptical of it now.
01:08:13.920 It seems to be working.
01:08:16.660 That's good.
01:08:18.140 Okay.
01:08:18.700 But don't try to jam it down my throat, because the more you try to jam something down people's throat, the more they push back.
01:08:29.220 All right.
01:08:30.160 And it's certainly I mean, I've had I've had to have a scope down into my lungs once.
01:08:36.340 You haven't lived until you've done that.
01:08:40.620 Holy cow.
01:08:41.780 It's worse than you think.
01:08:43.280 It's the only thing a doctor has ever said to me, this is really going to set your whole body on fire and you will do everything to make this stop and you won't be able to control it.
01:08:57.140 I'm just telling you, we're going to hold you down and you just focus on this person's eyes and listen to what they're saying.
01:09:06.760 It was the longest 30 seconds of my life because some foreign object is in your lungs.
01:09:12.580 And your body says, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:09:17.800 And you fight against it.
01:09:20.180 What do they do?
01:09:22.160 He was there.
01:09:23.180 It's almost over.
01:09:24.200 It's almost over.
01:09:25.380 Relax.
01:09:26.000 I'm just counting.
01:09:27.140 We're at 15 seconds.
01:09:28.740 You're almost done.
01:09:29.880 We're at 20 seconds.
01:09:31.380 You have 10 seconds left.
01:09:32.860 Five, four.
01:09:34.460 Calming.
01:09:35.200 If you're jamming something down my throat and you're saying and you're a bad person and you know what?
01:09:41.340 This might last longer.
01:09:42.420 It might be worse than you think.
01:09:44.060 I might leave it in there longer.
01:09:46.440 You're not going to.
01:09:47.280 You're going to fight.
01:09:48.840 You're going to fight.
01:09:51.140 And that's what big everything is doing.
01:09:56.800 They are doing all of the things not to calm you down.
01:10:00.420 They're doing all the things to push every button you have in you.
01:10:04.880 So why?
01:10:08.340 Why would they do that?
01:10:11.620 First, let's understand people.
01:10:13.340 Have you ever been to a local zoning board meeting and tried to, you know, I have a friend who tried to question a school, little teeny, little teeny neighborhood, all big trees, no two story houses, nothing.
01:10:29.980 Uh, just a small little neighborhood.
01:10:32.240 And they had a small little elementary school.
01:10:34.400 And the elementary school had a lot of land.
01:10:37.680 So they decided they're going to build a new elementary school.
01:10:40.780 Well, this thing is like two or three stories tall.
01:10:43.860 It completely decimates this neighborhood.
01:10:46.560 Why didn't you just make a bigger?
01:10:49.160 Why didn't you just add on to the school and it would have fit on the property?
01:10:53.860 It would be fine.
01:10:54.960 Why are you doing that?
01:10:57.220 Because they can.
01:10:59.860 Because they can.
01:11:02.020 If you've ever been to a local school board or you've ever been to a city council meeting or a zoning board and you disagree with them, how do they treat you?
01:11:11.900 They treat you like garbage.
01:11:13.960 Because people get a little bit of power and they like to wield it.
01:11:23.200 Imagine what it feels like to have a lot of power.
01:11:28.060 Now imagine what people are willing to do when they think that power is going away.
01:11:33.660 Well, how is it going away?
01:11:35.660 Why is it going away?
01:11:36.980 Because of extremists?
01:11:39.340 No.
01:11:39.860 Most of it is going away because of technology.
01:11:44.960 Because we now can speak to one another.
01:11:50.140 Instantaneously.
01:11:51.200 And it's not just speaking.
01:11:53.360 I can see the pictures.
01:11:55.440 I don't need Walter Cronkite to talk to me about what was happening in Tiananmen Square.
01:12:01.020 I saw it on television, but they still had to carry it or it didn't happen.
01:12:09.580 Now I can see what's happening in Hong Kong and I question, why aren't they covering this?
01:12:15.360 I can see what's happening on the streets with Antifa or at the Capitol and wonder, why aren't they covering this?
01:12:25.060 Or why are they covering it this way?
01:12:27.560 Because I have information that I never had before.
01:12:31.900 When you have information, information is power.
01:12:41.500 Knowledge is power.
01:12:45.300 If you have knowledge, please don't talk to me about what the labor unions are doing to our school children.
01:12:53.280 Please.
01:12:54.280 There's a million reasons that's going on.
01:12:56.740 None of them are good for the children.
01:12:59.020 None of them are good for children.
01:13:00.720 So don't try to hide behind my children.
01:13:02.900 And I do believe that there is some, some that actually are up at the top that believe that, you know what?
01:13:10.360 Okay.
01:13:10.860 So we're, we're setting people back.
01:13:14.280 We're setting these kids.
01:13:15.820 There's a four, I think it's a 4% increase of those who will not, who will drop out of school just because of the COVID thing.
01:13:25.740 And that's the least of our worries.
01:13:29.020 4%.
01:13:29.580 Look at suicides.
01:13:31.620 I think there's some that think, you know what?
01:13:35.260 It's going to be good because they can't think already.
01:13:40.560 Knowledge is power.
01:13:43.760 Information is power.
01:13:45.160 So you have media that has had to give up their power.
01:13:50.580 Wait a minute.
01:13:51.000 I'll tell you what's important.
01:13:53.080 Don't tell me.
01:13:56.140 That's being challenged.
01:13:57.620 Government is being challenged.
01:13:58.920 Wait a minute.
01:13:59.260 I can see what you said.
01:14:01.000 And now I can see crystal clear in real time what you just voted on.
01:14:06.260 What you just did.
01:14:07.460 Who you're hanging out with.
01:14:09.400 What you actually do.
01:14:12.340 And that's not in the right direction.
01:14:14.980 We know it now.
01:14:17.140 Because we can see it.
01:14:19.560 And we see it.
01:14:21.380 Not in words.
01:14:22.600 We see it in pictures.
01:14:23.820 There's nothing more powerful than a picture.
01:14:27.060 Or the spoken word when the speaker knows exactly what words to choose.
01:14:36.160 Pictures appeal to everyone.
01:14:44.120 Pictures lead to revolution.
01:14:49.240 The industrial revolution.
01:14:54.000 Well, it was revolutionary.
01:14:57.780 But it didn't entail a revolution.
01:15:00.800 But it should have.
01:15:02.520 Usually when the world goes through a revolution like this.
01:15:09.140 You'll have things like the European Spring.
01:15:13.740 Which was caused by Karl Marx.
01:15:15.880 The birth of the labor unions.
01:15:19.300 And the birth of communism.
01:15:21.640 Because of the industrial revolution.
01:15:24.480 They wanted revolution.
01:15:26.880 They saw it as the opportunity to overthrow everything that stood in their way.
01:15:32.520 The same thing is happening right now.
01:15:37.060 Corporations.
01:15:37.840 Where do they get their credibility?
01:15:41.340 They get their credibility from you.
01:15:45.400 Well, not really.
01:15:46.680 They used to get it from advertising.
01:15:50.240 In the media.
01:15:52.780 But that's not what gives them credibility anymore.
01:15:55.260 And in fact, the more we learn about corporations.
01:15:57.200 The less we like about them.
01:15:59.180 Because we find out they're in bed.
01:16:01.860 Corruptly so.
01:16:03.580 With government.
01:16:06.700 They're in trouble.
01:16:08.380 They need somebody.
01:16:10.300 To be able to cap you.
01:16:13.140 To stop you.
01:16:15.180 From communicating.
01:16:16.520 Stop you.
01:16:17.720 From putting pictures up.
01:16:19.300 Or ideas up.
01:16:21.780 Or saying things.
01:16:22.900 Because it's not just about you saying them.
01:16:25.840 It's about you hitting critical mass.
01:16:28.560 And being able to change the world.
01:16:30.500 One man can change the world.
01:16:32.800 I believe that.
01:16:34.760 They don't.
01:16:38.560 They don't believe that you can change the world by yourself.
01:16:43.460 And they think.
01:16:45.920 That because they've empowered you to connect with other people.
01:16:49.940 Oh my gosh.
01:16:50.860 What have we done?
01:16:52.460 We've given the power of information to people.
01:16:55.520 They can research themselves.
01:16:57.300 And they have as much power as I do at the New York Times.
01:17:03.040 I said this probably 10 years ago.
01:17:05.280 When I got into this.
01:17:06.180 I had to work really hard.
01:17:08.060 To get this position.
01:17:09.560 To be able to gain an audience.
01:17:12.120 It doesn't come with an audience.
01:17:13.580 You have to grow the audience.
01:17:16.760 I could have said that to you.
01:17:18.100 And you wouldn't have ever understood necessarily.
01:17:20.360 What that meant.
01:17:21.520 You do now.
01:17:22.820 Because my audience.
01:17:24.240 For the first time in human history.
01:17:26.420 The audience.
01:17:27.820 Has an audience.
01:17:31.160 How many people are addicted to the like button?
01:17:34.840 How many retweets did it get?
01:17:38.540 You're addicted to that.
01:17:41.240 There's no difference between that.
01:17:43.060 And somebody who has sold their soul for money or fame.
01:17:47.920 And will do anything to get that movie role.
01:17:50.960 Or do anything to keep their job in media.
01:17:54.220 Everybody's selling their soul for likes and retweets.
01:18:01.820 That's the downside.
01:18:04.680 But the downside to them.
01:18:06.580 Is that who allowed you to speak.
01:18:10.940 You notice nobody's saying.
01:18:12.320 Who made you judge and jury.
01:18:14.480 On what is hate speech and who needs to be silenced.
01:18:17.400 Nobody's saying that.
01:18:19.280 Who made you king?
01:18:23.040 Instead.
01:18:24.320 They're saying to you.
01:18:26.700 Who gave you the right to say that?
01:18:29.960 Who gave you the right to disagree?
01:18:32.200 Because it benefits all of them in the end.
01:18:40.780 I'm only about a quarter through this.
01:18:44.700 We're going to have to pick this up.
01:18:46.740 But.
01:18:49.480 Understand.
01:18:50.300 The world has changed.
01:18:53.300 Last night on my TV show.
01:18:55.940 I started to outline.
01:18:57.200 I began a chalkboard last night.
01:18:59.060 That is going to end up.
01:19:00.300 I think being one of the best and most important chalkboards.
01:19:03.120 But you're going to have to pay attention all the way along.
01:19:06.960 I started it last night.
01:19:08.120 And I only added one little dot on this enormous chalkboard.
01:19:11.960 But you will understand how the world is working once you start to see it differently.
01:19:19.880 There are pressures that want control.
01:19:22.540 And it's government and corrupt capitalism and corporations.
01:19:27.860 The way they're going to get you into that is through climate change and social justice.
01:19:35.280 Because they got to play on your fears.
01:19:38.980 More in a minute.
01:19:44.420 All right.
01:19:44.940 Let me tell you about LifeLock.
01:19:47.700 You don't have to swim faster than the shark.
01:19:50.900 You know.
01:19:51.620 All you have to do is be able to know there.
01:19:55.120 That there are no sharks where you're swimming.
01:19:58.360 Or you have to have some sort of a harpoon where you can kill the shark before it kills you.
01:20:05.640 So what does this have to do with LifeLock?
01:20:08.200 There are sharks out there.
01:20:09.300 And they are looking for your information all the time.
01:20:12.080 You need somebody that is looking at the water that you're in all the time.
01:20:16.200 And going, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:20:17.220 Sharks.
01:20:18.140 And that was a nudge.
01:20:20.340 They're testing you right now to see if they can get in.
01:20:24.100 Or they've already bitten your leg off.
01:20:26.180 Here, let me help.
01:20:28.980 That's what LifeLock does.
01:20:31.220 Cybercrime affects our life.
01:20:33.300 And your identity is really, truly the only thing you own.
01:20:36.720 But are you safeguarding it?

01:20:50.980 10-second station ID.
01:20:53.100 You are listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:20:56.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:20:58.460 I want to give you the name of the book, a book that came out a couple of years ago that I think it's one that you would appreciate and it would help you understand the world we're living in now.
01:21:10.920 It's The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority.
01:21:14.100 It is quite brilliant.
01:21:18.920 Now, it came out in 2015 or 2016.
01:21:22.340 I'm pretty sure the guy is liberal.
01:21:24.880 But it's describing what we're going through right now and why we're going through it.
01:21:34.220 And it's quite brilliant.
01:21:36.180 I highly recommend it.
01:21:38.000 Again, it's The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority.
01:21:42.100 I've never offered this to any author, but I know my staff is reaching out to him.
01:21:49.180 I think this book is so important, I would give him an hour for five days in a row to go through this.
01:21:57.020 I've never offered that to anyone before.
01:22:00.260 I doubt we even agree on politics.
01:22:04.900 And I wonder if he'd even take me up on that offer.
01:22:07.540 But what he has diagnosed as a really important problem, he's right.
01:22:16.380 He's right.
01:22:17.520 And it ends one of two ways.
01:22:19.580 Revolution or authoritarianism.
01:22:23.180 You know, I got in trouble a couple of weeks ago and I wear it as a badge of honor when I repeated a phrase given to me and told to me by a good friend, Edwin Black,
01:22:37.800 who is one of the greatest historians on the Holocaust and how corporations merge with governments.
01:22:46.000 And we talked about what he dubbed the digital ghettos.
01:22:53.620 And I said, by silencing people, you're doing what the Germans did.
01:22:57.580 You're just doing it digitally.
01:22:59.100 You're putting people behind a wall so they can't be heard.
01:23:03.000 Well, everybody screamed and yelled until I said, oh, by the way, I got that.
01:23:08.520 Not from crazy Glenn Beck, but from Edwin Black.
01:23:11.100 Talk to him.
01:23:12.160 Silence.
01:23:14.000 I want to take it a step further today.
01:23:16.800 We are now in the period, that illustrious period that everybody loved from Germany when they were burning books.
01:23:25.940 We are now in a digital book burning era in America.
01:23:32.260 Make no mistake.
01:23:34.020 How do I know?
01:23:36.340 Let me introduce you to somebody whose book was one of the first to be thrown on the fire.
01:23:42.520 In 60 seconds.
01:23:47.160 All right, I've got issues.
01:23:48.680 Thank you very much.
01:23:49.540 If you have issues with dry, irritated or red blotchy skin on your face and it won't go away,
01:23:53.980 or you're struggling with stress breakouts, uneven skin tone, you don't have to worry about that anymore.
01:23:58.660 Thanks to Chamonix.
01:23:59.880 I think you're describing the devil.
01:24:01.260 Read that again.
01:24:02.140 One of the red blotchy skin.
01:24:03.240 Oh, my gosh.
01:24:03.660 Right.
01:24:04.100 You're describing dry.
01:24:04.960 It's very dry.
01:24:05.660 It's very hot.
01:24:06.680 Irritated.
01:24:07.640 Irritated.
01:24:08.400 Yeah.
01:24:09.000 Stress breakouts.
01:24:09.820 You've got to think the devil's pretty.
01:24:11.020 You're describing the devil.
01:24:12.840 Well, if you're the devil, this is just for Satan.
01:24:16.000 Chamonix, Zotique deep correcting serum might be for you.
01:24:19.640 Let me tell you about someone a little bit better than Satan.
01:24:22.760 Yes.
01:24:23.100 Catherine.
01:24:23.940 Catherine.
01:24:24.500 She's a doctor from Indiana.
01:24:25.960 I love her.
01:24:26.860 Yeah.
01:24:27.060 You do?
01:24:27.580 Yeah.
01:24:28.080 I think.
01:24:28.800 You think.
01:24:29.360 I'm not sure.
01:24:30.740 She's been working on the front line since the beginning of all of this and the endless
01:24:35.060 mask wearing over the past year or so.
01:24:37.360 Basically.
01:24:38.000 So she's a first responder.
01:24:39.660 She is.
01:24:40.220 Oh, I hate her.
01:24:41.140 Oh, you don't like that, huh?
01:24:41.960 I don't like her.
01:24:43.300 No.
01:24:43.720 I wouldn't think.
01:24:44.400 Can we talk about my skin again?
01:24:46.180 Please get to the point.
01:24:47.880 She's wearing a mask.
01:24:49.100 She said it ruined her face.
01:24:51.480 She wanted to solve it.
01:24:52.920 Well, nothing worked until she tried Chamonix.
01:24:55.580 Now her face is on the mend and she thanks them profoundly for it.
01:24:59.580 Well, obviously, Catherine, unlike Satan, thank you for all the work you've done over
01:25:03.320 the past year.
01:25:05.000 GenuCell bags and puffiness.
01:25:07.120 So when you order that, you're going to get the free bottle of Zotique as well.

01:25:33.180 I want to just tell you who my next guest is by just saying this.
01:25:43.460 He has made appearances on ABC, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC and Fox News.
01:25:49.720 His work has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal,
01:25:54.940 and his research has been cited by two U.S. Supreme Court justices in two Supreme Court
01:26:02.000 cases.
01:26:03.460 He received his bachelor degree from Princeton and his doctoral degree from the University
01:26:08.780 of Notre Dame.
01:26:11.260 Yeah, that's the problem, I guess.
01:26:13.360 He's a religious zealot.
01:26:15.540 Everything else was going fine until that Catholic university was introduced.
01:26:20.080 He is the author of the book When Harry Became Sally.
01:26:24.760 It came out a few years ago and was controversial at the time, and then that blew over.
01:26:31.820 Amazon has just dropped it.
01:26:34.440 They will no longer sell it because they have deemed it a hate book, and they said they are
01:26:40.760 going to start culling through their libraries to see and make sure they're not selling books
01:26:46.040 of hate.
01:26:46.600 And the author of When Harry Became Sally, Ryan Anderson.
01:26:51.500 Hello, Ryan.
01:26:52.040 How are you?
01:26:53.400 Doing well.
01:26:54.180 Thanks for having me on.
01:26:55.340 So first of all, when did you find out your book was being burned by Amazon?
01:27:02.400 You know, Sunday afternoon, someone who was trying to buy the book reached out to me and
01:27:06.800 was like, it's no longer on Amazon.
01:27:09.240 I thought to myself, what are you talking about?
01:27:11.140 Like, it's been on Amazon for over three years now.
01:27:13.680 And so I, you know, pull up my Amazon app on my smartphone, and it's not there.
01:27:18.600 And the Kindle book's not there.
01:27:20.160 The hardback's not there.
01:27:21.200 The paperback's not there.
01:27:22.300 The audio book's not there.
01:27:23.960 You can't even get a used copy.
01:27:25.820 I mean, they entirely scrubbed it from their website with no advance notice.
01:27:30.520 A publisher reached out immediately.
01:27:31.980 We only heard back from Amazon late Tuesday afternoon, and all they'll say is that it
01:27:37.320 violates their content policy.
01:27:38.960 They won't tell us what aspects of the content policy.
01:27:41.400 They won't tell us which page, you know, which sentence, you know, where did the book
01:27:44.720 hurt your feelings?
01:27:46.580 Nothing.
01:27:47.300 It's a black box.
01:27:49.700 So what are you going to do about that?
01:27:51.220 So right now, we're trying to raise as much publicity about this as possible to get people
01:27:58.780 aware, having people contact Amazon out of the goodness of their heart.
01:28:03.880 They're going to state the book.
01:28:05.000 Probably not.
01:28:06.360 Yesterday, four senators, Senator Rubio, Lee, Hawley, and Braun sent a letter to Jeff Bezos
01:28:14.980 asking for an explanation.
01:28:16.720 But beyond that, this is, you know, a downside of an entirely unregulated big tech industry
01:28:26.000 where, you know, Amazon put out of business a lot of small and independent booksellers.
01:28:30.840 They gained this giant market prominence, and now they can use their market power in ways
01:28:37.360 that are destructive to, you know, readers, authors, publishers.
01:28:41.500 So, Ryan, did they, if you bought the book on Kindle, did they pull it from your library?
01:28:49.960 No, which is important.
01:28:51.320 They haven't done that.
01:28:52.560 You just can no longer buy it on Kindle.
01:28:56.060 Right.
01:28:56.380 So if you've already purchased the book, you know, they're not going to take it back from
01:28:59.820 you, whether it was a physical copy or an electric company.
01:29:02.580 Yeah.
01:29:02.920 Yet.
01:29:03.460 They have done that in the past.
01:29:05.500 Wow.
01:29:07.680 I wasn't even aware of that.
01:29:08.780 Yeah.
01:29:08.900 What is the, what was that book?
01:29:10.400 A million pieces.
01:29:11.660 It was the Oprah book of the year, a million little pieces or something.
01:29:16.260 And they said that it was plagiarism on part of it or something like that.
01:29:22.400 But they pulled it in the middle of the night without anybody knowing.
01:29:25.260 And it caused a real uproar because that's my book.
01:29:29.220 I paid for that.
01:29:30.580 How can you go into my Kindle app and take something I paid for?
01:29:34.160 And the user agreement allows them to do it.
01:29:36.800 Yeah.
01:29:36.860 Basically.
01:29:37.460 Yeah.
01:29:37.780 So be careful.
01:29:39.320 Yeah.
01:29:39.580 Be careful.
01:29:40.220 Did they issue refunds?
01:29:42.560 No, I don't remember.
01:29:44.400 I don't think so.
01:29:45.400 The user agreement almost reads like you're renting the book.
01:29:49.340 Right.
01:29:49.700 It does.
01:29:50.540 Yeah.
01:29:50.860 That's right.
01:29:51.440 Because we've talked to an attorney who said the biggest lawsuit, class action lawsuit,
01:29:56.680 should be against these, you know, Apple and Kindle who you're buying these titles
01:30:03.100 from.
01:30:03.580 It says buy now.
01:30:04.800 Yeah.
01:30:05.140 Buy now.
01:30:06.060 Well, you're buying the title.
01:30:07.480 But if Disney decides to pull that title from the Amazon library, it disappears in your
01:30:14.260 library.
01:30:15.320 And a lot of that has to do with rights issues more than this sort of thing, which is far
01:30:20.240 more egregious.
01:30:21.160 Right.
01:30:21.580 You know, you're burning books.
01:30:23.620 I mean, this is something I thought we all united on.
01:30:25.760 This is a bad idea.
01:30:26.760 And I think they're getting away with it.
01:30:27.940 I'd love to hear your take on this.
01:30:29.100 I think they can get away with it, Ryan, because they don't actually have to stand in the parking
01:30:33.900 lot and make an example of your book and burn it.
01:30:37.060 There's no there's no visuals of anybody just hitting delete.
01:30:40.780 That's a great point.
01:30:43.460 You know, and the Babylon Bee had a great article about, you know, Amazon will now let you do
01:30:47.780 a digital book burning.
01:30:49.180 And it's amazing when satire becomes reality.
01:30:52.760 I know.
01:30:53.200 To my mind, like this, this suggests that the conservative response of, well, it's a private
01:30:59.480 business.
01:30:59.840 They can do whatever it wants.
01:31:01.840 That's true to a certain extent, but it's not always true.
01:31:06.060 Right.
01:31:06.200 If it was like one brick and mortar store that wouldn't sell a book, fine, there are other
01:31:10.720 brick and mortar stores.
01:31:11.920 But if all the brick and mortar stores got together and said, we're not going to sell a book.
01:31:15.960 Right.
01:31:16.520 That looks more like a monopoly.
01:31:18.040 Right.
01:31:18.740 And if one individual seller that has someone told me and I need to check to see if the
01:31:24.480 stat is accurate, but someone had tweeted out 83 percent of all U.S. book sales are through
01:31:29.600 Amazon.
01:31:30.220 I believe that if that's the case, when they drop a title, the impact of that and it's a
01:31:36.500 chilling effect.
01:31:37.400 Right.
01:31:37.520 Because someone like me, I am prominent enough within the conservative world that, you know,
01:31:41.680 you can book me as a guest.
01:31:42.940 You heard about this.
01:31:43.880 How many authors will have their books canceled that none of us will ever hear about?
01:31:49.280 Oh, yeah.
01:31:49.540 How many titles?
01:31:50.860 And then for a publisher, how many publishers are going to say, we just shouldn't even publish
01:31:55.020 on that topic out of fear that Amazon will then drop the title.
01:31:59.200 This has a chilling effect on the entire industry.
01:32:02.140 So tell me about the book and why it is so controversial.
01:32:08.580 Well, I think it's controversial precisely because it's not a bomb throwing book.
01:32:12.240 It's not a hate book.
01:32:13.260 It's a kind of like mild-mannered, calm, philosophy, science, medicine book exposing all of the
01:32:22.080 lies that are being told about gender dysphoria.
01:32:24.780 So I haven't read your book, but I talked to somebody who did and they said it's actually
01:32:29.600 a really loving book.
01:32:31.040 It approaches it in a way where it's like, these people are bad.
01:32:37.080 It's not that at all.
01:32:38.440 It's you're really compassionately talking about it.
01:32:41.860 Thank you.
01:32:43.740 I mean, that is exactly what I strove to do.
01:32:46.460 Yeah.
01:32:46.700 Like it was it was three and a half years ago that I was finishing the book.
01:32:50.220 It was published three years ago.
01:32:51.480 And the idea was people with gender dysphoria, gender identity conflict, they are victims.
01:32:57.680 They are suffering.
01:32:58.600 They didn't choose to experience this and they're not faking it.
01:33:02.080 But they are being disserved by the medical professional community that has bought into a
01:33:07.480 woke ideology that's telling them that, you know, your path to happiness is puberty blocking
01:33:12.080 drugs, cross sex hormones and a double mastectomy.
01:33:15.380 And that's not true.
01:33:16.940 And aren't the stats, don't the stats show that after that's done, a very high percentage
01:33:23.000 of people with dysphoria fall right back into depression and have problems because it didn't
01:33:32.480 cure what they thought it was going to cure.
01:33:36.160 That's exactly right.
01:33:37.480 And the book, it's chapter and verse, you know, footnote after footnote after footnote
01:33:42.120 of all of the studies that show that.
01:33:44.460 And since I mean, the book came out three years ago, since the book came out, there have only
01:33:47.880 been more and more studies revealing this.
01:33:51.240 And I think that's precisely why it's so threatening to the left.
01:33:55.840 So you can't win on the merit.
01:33:58.140 So they have to shut down the conversation.
01:34:00.040 So what this is even more frightening than just book burning, because this isn't, you
01:34:06.480 know, they're pulling from the libraries now to kill a mockingbird.
01:34:09.620 That's insanity.
01:34:11.400 It's insanity.
01:34:13.600 But this book is also about medicine.
01:34:18.380 This is about clinical studies about mental health and what you put into your body for physical
01:34:28.460 health and mental health.
01:34:29.920 We cannot come to a place to where we can't disagree on something like medicine.
01:34:37.860 Remember, medicine not too many years ago was drilling holes in people's heads to relieve
01:34:44.200 the spirits in their head because they had a headache.
01:34:49.280 So please, what are we doing?
01:34:52.060 This is a medical book, is it not?
01:34:56.040 Yeah.
01:34:56.480 So, I mean, there's several chapters about the medicine of this.
01:34:59.680 There's several chapters about the science.
01:35:01.320 There's several chapters about the philosophy and the law.
01:35:04.120 It's meant to be comprehensive.
01:35:06.520 And what I would add to what you just said is that the saddest conversations I have had
01:35:10.660 have been with parents who placed their children on cross-sex hormones, allowed their children
01:35:16.980 to have surgery because the doctors told them that that's what was in the best interest of
01:35:22.520 their child.
01:35:23.260 And then only a couple of years later, they realized the mistake.
01:35:26.960 By limiting the sale of a book like this, we're limiting the ability of parents to inform
01:35:32.580 themselves about what's actually in the best interest of their child.
01:35:35.720 And it means how many more children are going to go through these misguided procedures because
01:35:43.420 they couldn't get all of the facts, right?
01:35:46.160 When you shut down a conversation like this, you do a digital book burning, there are going
01:35:50.080 to be real-life consequences.
01:35:52.520 Ryan, I hate to ask you this, but I have to because I haven't read your book.
01:35:56.240 Is there anything in it like, you know, pray the gay away?
01:36:00.700 Is there anything like that in this book that would cause offense to, you know, people that
01:36:10.160 people like me could go, oh, geez, why would you put that in there?
01:36:14.760 Nothing at all.
01:36:16.120 Nothing even remotely close.
01:36:18.500 And just, I mean, so our listeners know, the book was endorsed by the former psychiatrist
01:36:22.560 in chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital, from a professor of psychology at NYU, from a professor
01:36:28.700 of neuroscience at Boston University, a professor of law at Harvard Law School, a professor
01:36:33.640 of philosophy at Princeton University.
01:36:35.600 Like, this is not a fringe book.
01:36:37.420 This is not a conspiracy theory book, which says that if a book like this can be canceled
01:36:44.120 from Amazon, no one's books are safe.
01:36:49.520 I do.
01:36:50.340 I will tell you that when I heard about this Monday, I immediately thought, how am I ever
01:36:56.580 going to publish another book?
01:36:58.620 Because, you know, if I'm quoting stats and I'm quoting these things in my book and Amazon
01:37:06.060 decides they don't agree with that and they think that's dangerous for whatever reason
01:37:11.020 and they don't have to explain themselves, what chance do I have of putting books on Amazon?
01:37:18.740 Go ahead.
01:37:22.280 And that is what every book author and book publisher is now asking themselves.
01:37:29.740 And so you can see the chilling effect.
01:37:31.140 Again, if it was just like one local bookstore, you have some like left wing progressive bookstore
01:37:35.820 that won't sell your book or my book, no one would care because we can have a market.
01:37:40.220 But when the entity that controls the market starts censoring books, it will impact the
01:37:46.900 entire book publishing, writing and reading process.
01:37:53.440 Ryan, how much of a factor is it that if you're going to write another book on a similar
01:37:57.360 topic, there would be an incentive and a temptation to self-edit before you released it?
01:38:05.220 Now, I think you probably at the end of the day are going to say what you want to say and,
01:38:09.040 you know, Dan, the consequences, but there's a chilling effect for people before these books
01:38:13.900 even get out there.
01:38:14.960 I mean, it's editing our speech before the speech happens.
01:38:18.580 Yep.
01:38:19.000 I think what you're going to see is that authors are going to say that.
01:38:21.940 Let's say you're writing a book about political correctness and, you know, originally one
01:38:25.780 of your chapters was going to be about transgender issues.
01:38:29.160 I think a lot of authors and publishers and agents are going to say, why don't we skip that
01:38:34.280 chapter?
01:38:35.020 Oh, yeah.
01:38:35.480 That's that's the impact.
01:38:36.860 And this is also this has been happening on university campuses for a while.
01:38:40.280 The reason that I'm at a think tank and not at a university is the think tank provides
01:38:45.020 me with the freedom to tell the truth on these issues in the way that I can't tell you the
01:38:49.740 number of tenured professors who have privately, confidentially reached out to me to say,
01:38:54.720 thank you for what you're saying.
01:38:56.720 I agree entirely.
01:38:57.900 But if I ever said it, I'm afraid I'd lose tenure.
01:39:01.460 Right.
01:39:01.540 This is now unbelievable.
01:39:03.360 It's it's it's it's it's go ahead.
01:39:06.240 It's exporting the campus insanity that we've seen into the entire Amazon world and Amazon
01:39:13.220 controls almost everything.
01:39:14.920 All right.
01:39:15.160 Ryan, thank you so much.
01:39:17.060 If you wouldn't hold a wouldn't mind holding for just a couple of minutes, I want to ask
01:39:20.800 you something off the air.
01:39:21.700 Ryan Anderson, the book is when Harry became Sally, I would highly recommend that you write
01:39:30.160 to Amazon and and Jeff Bezos and you send them an email.
01:39:35.580 But no better tweet at Jeff Bezos.
01:39:39.420 Very kindly, very professionally.
01:39:42.720 Why was this book removed?
01:39:45.540 And when are you now starting to censor all books?
01:39:50.940 We need to know an answer and tweet Jeff Bezos and Amazon.
01:39:55.780 Somebody has to hold their feet to the fire or it will pass and they will learn a lesson
01:40:00.020 that they can do anything.
01:40:01.880 Thanks so much, Ryan.
01:40:03.060 Let me tell you about Bilt Bar.
01:40:04.940 It's day 56 of my weight loss regime.
01:40:07.360 Dear diary, how's this going, by the way?
01:40:09.820 You keep getting all these updates and you don't give a pounds loss or anything.
01:40:13.420 Well, yesterday I spent the evening down in my secret lab working on my time machine.
01:40:20.120 And when it's finished, I'm just going to go back in time to my younger self, knock him
01:40:26.360 out, then attempt a brain transplant where I can steal his body and come back thin.
01:40:33.420 And I thought you were working on like pseudoscience or something, but this seems no, no, no,
01:40:37.360 no, no, no, no.
01:40:38.140 And I'm certainly not working on exercise or anything like that.
01:40:41.560 Unproven.
01:40:42.240 You know, I would go back and say, hey, you should eat less pizza, but that's not going
01:40:45.800 to work.
01:40:46.700 I could bring him a box of Bilt Bars, which he would really like.
01:40:51.760 My wife came in yesterday.
01:40:53.380 Well, Hugh came to my house last night.
01:40:55.260 You brought extra Bilt Bars.
01:40:57.140 Yep.
01:40:57.320 Um, and, uh, they're just fantastic.
01:41:00.080 And we were just talking about them, um, because my wife apparently doesn't listen to the show
01:41:04.980 and she ordered a bunch of the chocolate brownie coconut crunch or whatever that is.
01:41:10.420 And I've been raving about how great they are.
01:41:12.500 And I said, oh, good.
01:41:14.980 You brought my box in, you know, somebody brought my box in from work.
01:41:18.260 And she said, no, I ordered these.
01:41:20.820 I wanted to know if you've ever seen them or tasted them because they're delicious.
01:41:23.700 And I'm like, thanks for listening to the show.

01:41:55.180 I, I want to, uh, urge you, um, this week to do something, uh, that, you know, in, in some
01:42:08.700 days past, you might've thought was crazy, but I think you'll understand it now.
01:42:12.920 Uh, we are, uh, we are burning to disc every news story that I have presented on the air,
01:42:20.600 uh, over the last year and a half.
01:42:23.240 We're burning them all to discs now.
01:42:25.000 We have all of the, the links, but I am not convinced that those links will always exist.
01:42:30.820 And I want the actual story, um, because I am, I am going to chronicle what is happening
01:42:38.780 to America and how it happened and all the news that people didn't see.
01:42:43.720 May I suggest that when you have things that you print them out, uh, but more importantly,
01:42:49.640 I want to talk to you specifically about books, uh, in the coming days.
01:42:54.560 This week, please print out the declaration of independence, the first draft and the last
01:43:01.260 draft, not just the text, but also the images of it, the bill of rights, not just the text,
01:43:09.540 but the images of it, uh, uh, and the constitution do those things.
01:43:15.360 First, every, every home should have a copy that you don't have to go online for do it now, please.
01:43:22.580 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:43:26.840 Gosh, I, I wish none of this had happened.
01:43:34.200 I wish this wasn't going the way that we've been talking about for so long, but it is.
01:43:39.980 Let me talk to you about something else that just seems crazy, but it is happening.
01:43:45.180 The dollar is not going to last, uh, and it is, it is going to be by design at this point.
01:43:53.640 We are spending so much money.
01:43:56.440 We printed 26% more dollar bills than we have, than we had printed really ever.
01:44:06.220 We, we are now printing, uh, the only one that comes close is the year 1944.
01:44:11.780 That's, this is not going to last.
01:44:13.820 It's not.
01:44:14.580 But please call Goldline now and protect your retirement portfolio before it's too late.
01:44:21.560 Call Goldline.
01:44:22.360 Find out why, uh, allocating just 20% of your retirement portfolio and precious metals is a prudent and wise investment.
01:44:30.060 Also talk to them about the 6% of promotional metals that'll be delivered to you with your purchase of self-directed IRA, 401, or other retirement accounts.
01:44:39.480 It's goldline.com, 966-866-GOLDLINE, 866-GOLDLINE.
01:44:43.540 All right, back in a second with more, go to blazetv.com slash Glenn to subscribe to blazetv.
01:44:50.460 Oh, get over it.
01:44:52.160 Welcome to the, oh, it's so cold in here.
01:44:55.340 It's cold.
01:44:55.940 It's freezing all the time.
01:44:57.180 I'm cold.
01:44:57.860 All the time.
01:44:58.440 Oh, well, nice to see you, Karen.
01:45:00.880 Uh, so, uh, uh, welcome to the, uh, welcome to the program.
01:45:06.660 Now, my definition of candy may not be everybody's mental candy.
01:45:10.500 I mean, candy for me used to be Jack Daniels.
01:45:14.880 Sure.
01:45:15.240 It's not anymore.
01:45:16.360 So what, uh, how do I relax myself now?
01:45:21.300 Little candy today?
01:45:23.180 It's called the Andrew Cuomo sex scandal.
01:45:26.520 I mean, nothing's going to relax me more than saying just those words to Stu and then say,
01:45:33.280 go.
01:45:36.300 It's going to be fun.
01:45:38.020 Lindsay Boylan.
01:45:39.500 Lindsay Boylan.
01:45:40.340 She is, uh, she is a woman who was working in close contact in various roles, uh, near Andrew
01:45:47.480 Cuomo.
01:45:47.980 Was their relationship up and down?
01:45:50.320 Their, their relationship was a bit up and down.
01:45:52.480 Okay.
01:45:52.760 Uh, mostly down, it seems like.
01:45:54.760 Okay.
01:45:55.320 Yes.
01:45:55.700 Uh, she, uh, multiple times, uh, was made to feel very uncomfortable by Andrew Cuomo.
01:46:02.980 Sure.
01:46:03.300 And not in the normal way that most American or other humans do every time they hear him
01:46:07.220 speak.
01:46:08.220 Uh, I don't know what you're saying.
01:46:10.400 I'm just saying maybe a little, uh, hinky-panky going on.
01:46:16.660 Uh, no.
01:46:19.180 So it's, it was a little more than that.
01:46:20.920 America's dumbest governor.
01:46:22.800 Yes.
01:46:23.200 Uh, the man who.
01:46:24.740 Dumbest mob governor.
01:46:26.020 Yes.
01:46:26.360 Well, he's America's dumbest mobster.
01:46:28.640 Yes.
01:46:28.960 Thank you.
01:46:29.400 Yes.
01:46:29.580 All right.
01:46:29.860 Good.
01:46:30.140 He, uh, he had her, uh, Lindsay Boylan was working with her a couple of times.
01:46:34.360 There was one time they were on a private jet.
01:46:35.760 And, uh, Glenn, uh, we've had some, uh, some tours over the years where we've been able
01:46:40.740 to partake and dip our foot in the little, you know, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian world.
01:46:45.220 Lifestyle, yes.
01:46:45.560 Yes.
01:46:46.060 And be on the, oh, those are the days they don't come back.
01:46:48.440 No, no, no, that's freaking expensive.
01:46:51.440 Anyway, so, uh, apparently not too expensive for Andrew Cuomo, who gets to fly around in
01:46:55.260 a private jet all the time.
01:46:56.300 Odd, considering he believes there's an existential threat from global warming.
01:47:01.000 Odd that he's also a politician in a private jet.
01:47:04.520 Yeah.
01:47:04.800 It's very strange.
01:47:05.680 Very strange.
01:47:06.200 Um, you know, you remember like they have these, uh, you know, the, especially the smaller
01:47:10.520 jets, they have, the seating is a lot of times you face each other and you're sitting
01:47:16.820 very close to each other.
01:47:17.700 Your knees are almost touching.
01:47:19.660 Yes.
01:47:20.160 Uh, apparently Andrew, uh, manifested this situation a little bit with, uh, Lindsay, um,
01:47:24.500 also at that time asked her to play strip poker, which is not normally what you would
01:47:28.300 do with an underling in a situation like this.
01:47:30.400 I wouldn't do it with an overling either.
01:47:31.840 No, it's probably a good idea to avoid that sort of behavior, uh, altogether.
01:47:36.380 Um, he, of course, back in 2018, made a very public statement, Glenn, uh, that, uh, everyone
01:47:43.180 who, every, everyone, every woman should be believed.
01:47:46.900 Every woman should be believed.
01:47:48.240 Of course.
01:47:49.060 Yeah, sure.
01:47:49.940 There should be an immediate, I believe it's immediate investigation done by, uh, an independent
01:47:56.200 out, uh, outsourced sort of, uh, organization to make sure we get to the bottom of all these
01:48:01.760 So why would he say that and then also suggest, uh, strip poker?
01:48:07.320 It's either she's lying or he just thinks he's so privileged he'll end up on top.
01:48:14.620 Well, he definitely wanted to end up on top.
01:48:16.700 I think that was a big part of the issue.
01:48:18.000 Um, so he, uh, also, uh, he would do things just that creeped her out, uh, um, touching
01:48:26.760 her back and her legs often.
01:48:29.720 Uh, but that happens.
01:48:31.480 That happens.
01:48:32.220 Well, sometimes I guess Sarah, Sarah, how many times have I touched your legs in 20, in
01:48:39.280 20 plus years?
01:48:40.300 We've been, you're a very attractive woman.
01:48:42.940 Uh, we're friends.
01:48:44.720 I feel close to you.
01:48:46.000 Oh, wow.
01:48:46.860 How many times have I touched your legs?
01:48:50.220 Zero.
01:48:51.460 No, but what about that time?
01:48:53.300 There was a strip poker invitation.
01:48:57.180 Yeah, that's right.
01:48:58.500 And then I remember it being followed by a vomiting session.
01:49:02.280 So yes.
01:49:03.020 Okay.
01:49:03.360 All right.
01:49:03.760 Go ahead.
01:49:05.140 So, uh, he went down this road.
01:49:06.860 It was not, not comfortable.
01:49:08.480 Apparently for her.
01:49:09.440 Um, she, uh, got to the point where her boss was relaying messages from Andrew Cuomo, uh,
01:49:17.100 uh, that Andrew Cuomo had a crush on her.
01:49:20.460 Uh, also, um, said.
01:49:22.520 And so it was like, da, hey, uh, number two, come on in here for a second.
01:49:29.180 Da, I got a crush on this girl and, uh, I was going to pass her this note, but it'd
01:49:35.680 be better if you did.
01:49:36.680 It just says, do you like Andrew Cuomo?
01:49:40.300 Check yes or no.
01:49:41.580 Da, I mean, it wasn't that sophisticated, but it was something like that.
01:49:45.340 All right.
01:49:45.620 Okay.
01:49:45.900 Okay.
01:49:46.180 He, uh, he was also, he said, um, again, was passing messages through layers of management
01:49:53.520 here, um, where he would tell her boss.
01:49:56.920 You want to talk about how arrogant, oh my gosh, arrogant and just absolutely demeaning
01:50:01.600 to the woman, obviously.
01:50:02.820 But, but I mean, I'm just saying on one level, imagined the feeling that you are so bullet
01:50:07.960 proof that you could tell multiple people, I want to, I want to have sex with her.
01:50:13.800 Yeah.
01:50:14.100 I mean, he didn't say it, well, at least we don't know that he said it like that.
01:50:17.360 It was passed on at one point.
01:50:19.120 He had a, a, a rumored girlfriend because, you know, he's the love gov.
01:50:23.880 If you remember Chris Cuomo saying how, how attractive he was, his brother was on CNN
01:50:29.100 during the middle of the pandemic as thousands of people were dying.
01:50:32.040 Uh, he made sure to make that point.
01:50:34.440 Well, it does drive a Trans Am though.
01:50:36.140 So anyway, so he said he had a rumored girlfriend named Lisa Shields, uh, Lisa Shields.
01:50:43.160 Uh, it was a big sort of splashy media type of some rumored romance.
01:50:49.020 Uh, he passed through multiple layers of management to Lindsay Boylan.
01:50:53.160 Uh, he, uh, governor said that, uh, look up Lisa Shields.
01:50:56.780 You could be sisters, except you're the better looking sister to this woman.
01:51:01.600 Uh, he then, let's be honest, Sarah, how many times have I sent you a picture of my wife
01:51:09.120 and said, you two could be twins, except you're the better looking one.
01:51:14.360 Just an estimate.
01:51:15.640 What?
01:51:16.080 Zero.
01:51:16.660 Zero.
01:51:17.100 Huh.
01:51:17.400 Plus or minus?
01:51:18.940 Zero.
01:51:19.420 Okay.
01:51:20.040 Okay.
01:51:20.100 Plus or minus zero.
01:51:20.840 Well, that's pretty exact.
01:51:22.000 Uh, yeah.
01:51:22.240 Now I thought I was, I thought I was better to you, uh, than this.
01:51:26.360 Uh, Cuomo also then, um, uh, showed off a cigar box in a, in a, in a way that made her
01:51:33.640 believe it was a Monica Lewinsky reference.
01:51:35.820 Oh, that's, there's nothing better than the old Clinton callback.
01:51:39.880 Yep.
01:51:40.100 Uh, he also, um, would invite her to random events that she didn't belong at at all to
01:51:45.840 just try to get near her.
01:51:47.120 Again, this is her telling of the story.
01:51:48.860 We, of course, I believe here, uh, innocence until proven guilt.
01:51:52.820 Um, how, and then he also, uh, eventually got her alone in a private setting, which was
01:51:59.440 something, uh, she points out her mom warned against, uh, allowing to occur.
01:52:04.800 And as she tried to escape the situation, uh, she, he awkwardly stood up in front of her
01:52:10.220 and kissed her on the, kissed her on the lips, something she was not, uh, not, not interested
01:52:15.200 in.
01:52:15.480 He's got a lot in common with, uh, Joe Biden.
01:52:20.060 Cause that's what he did with the, remember he was, he was like, and you've got a bright
01:52:24.320 future.
01:52:29.440 Remember that?
01:52:30.300 Nothing like getting kissed on the lips with someone with dentures is always a good.
01:52:34.480 Oh, it's great when they're floating around in there.
01:52:36.780 Hopefully they're just attacked.
01:52:38.100 Uh, point being that there's no, there's not Harvey Weinstein level stuff in the allegation.
01:52:43.300 It's, it's just the type of thing, the type of thing that gets you fired.
01:52:47.860 If Andrew Cuomo's making the judgments and you happen to be a conservative, um, and she
01:52:53.260 goes on, you know, she lists, it's not like he was killing anybody's grandma.
01:52:56.380 No, no, that doesn't get you fired.
01:52:57.880 If Andrew Cuomo's making the judgments that gets you a book deal is what it gets you.
01:53:01.580 Uh, this is instead an allegation.
01:53:04.740 She also points out, she is certain there are others.
01:53:08.140 She knows who they are and what they are alleging, although they are not, uh, it's not her story
01:53:13.720 to tell essentially is her point.
01:53:15.600 Um, but this is the type of thing came out in December.
01:53:20.180 Initially, she tweeted about it.
01:53:21.680 It was, she, he was asked about it.
01:53:23.460 Cuomo was asked about it one time and denied it.
01:53:25.300 Now, I don't know why this woman wouldn't be believed, but I guess that's the rule now.
01:53:28.940 And then, uh, she's now come out with this again and there's more pressure on Cuomo.
01:53:33.040 I will say, and I, I don't like to be optimistic, particularly in 2020, 2021.
01:53:37.840 Yeah, but it does seem like the tide is turning a little bit on Andrew Cuomo in the media,
01:53:43.800 in his, uh, his approval rating, uh, in just the general tone of coverage in a big way.
01:53:51.200 People are starting to notice that he is essentially the worst human being on earth.
01:53:56.220 Uh, and that's just science saying that I'm not, that's not my judgment.
01:53:59.240 Uh, there's a scientific study from, I think it was Rutgers.
01:54:01.800 Anyway, bottom line is, uh, Cuomo seems to be in a little bit of trouble.
01:54:05.040 And as the dumbest governor in America and the dumbest mobster in America, uh, that's
01:54:09.900 exactly where he should be.
01:54:11.040 That wasn't quite the candy I was looking for.
01:54:13.260 I was looking for a little bit more, you know, of the stew.
01:54:17.460 Just, I, I think this guy is a worthless piece of skin.
01:54:20.780 I was looking for that stew.
01:54:22.360 I didn't get it.
01:54:23.040 So maybe, maybe we go here for a little candy.
01:54:27.080 Uh, it appears someone has had a brainstorm.
01:54:32.560 In our next edition of.
01:54:37.220 No, Sherlock.
01:54:39.280 Yes.
01:54:40.020 No.
01:54:41.140 Sherlock.
01:54:42.420 Here.
01:54:44.920 Here is, uh, from the New York times, the New York times, liberal columnist.
01:54:52.220 Uh, the top liberal communist, uh, communist communist for the New York times has now blamed
01:55:02.940 Democrats for the harm being inflicted on millions of the nation's children by a year
01:55:07.980 of school closures.
01:55:10.200 Huh?
01:55:11.000 Nicholas Kristof suggests that many Democrats may, may have been blinded by, uh, by their
01:55:20.040 anger and their hatred towards Donald Trump.
01:55:24.400 And that has led them that possibly politics may have played a role.
01:55:32.600 Wow.
01:55:33.220 In the Corona virus restrictions.
01:55:34.820 What?
01:55:35.460 Yeah.
01:55:35.940 Yeah.
01:55:36.260 Which, of course, makes me say.
01:55:39.220 No shit, Sherlock.
01:55:44.380 All right.
01:55:45.420 Our sponsor of this half hour is Car Shield.
01:55:47.620 I don't know what it's been like in your state, but.
01:55:50.720 You know, here it's kind of like a, you know, little kid waiting until the adults aren't
01:55:54.020 looking and, and, uh, messing with the thermostat.
01:55:56.680 I mean, sometimes it's 80.
01:55:59.280 Other times it's one.
01:56:01.480 It was 80 yesterday.
01:56:03.600 80 the day before.
01:56:04.700 Last week, it was one.
01:56:06.460 It's negative two as well.
01:56:08.660 It's, uh, it's now what?
01:56:10.860 50 degrees.
01:56:11.920 Uh, here in Texas.

01:57:17.700 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:57:20.940 Well, let's see what people will put up with in their attorney general.
01:57:25.960 The attorney general of South Dakota, Kristi Noem State, uh, apparently had a little problem
01:57:33.180 with his car.
01:57:34.560 Uh, now his story was I hit a deer.
01:57:39.000 And, uh, I just kept driving home.
01:57:41.980 And then the next morning I thought maybe that wasn't a deer.
01:57:46.560 And I went back to check.
01:57:48.940 Now I have hit like a bird before and a squirrel, and I don't know if I killed them.
01:57:56.820 And I don't know if it really was a bird or really was a squirrel, but I've never gotten
01:58:04.380 up the next day and thought, you know, I should go back and check.
01:58:09.160 But he did.
01:58:10.960 He went back and he wanted to check.
01:58:13.000 And that's when he realized, oh, that was a person.
01:58:17.580 Okay.
01:58:18.340 All right.
01:58:19.540 Maybe he didn't know.
01:58:22.120 The problem is, is his front windshield was shattered and the man's glasses that he was
01:58:30.520 wearing, that he hit, ended up in his car.
01:58:34.800 So at some point the man, or at least his face was inside looking at the attorney general
01:58:45.200 when his glasses fell off.
01:58:47.520 So it doesn't really work.
01:58:52.940 Uh, but where am I missing?
01:58:55.020 Uh, what am I missing here?
01:58:56.240 Stu?
01:58:56.660 I mean, uh, you know, not that much.
01:59:00.780 I mean, the person died.
01:59:01.720 Uh, so it was, it's horrible.
01:59:03.160 It was a really terrible situation.
01:59:04.520 Well, he might've, I don't know.
01:59:06.280 He might've lived if the attorney general didn't think the deer that apparently was wearing
01:59:12.160 glasses, you know, was, was alive, you know, and would have called, you know, for the deer
01:59:18.540 ambulance.
01:59:19.100 One of the one bit of, as you tell the story, the one thing they, he didn't realize the glasses
01:59:25.040 were in the car, which is, I guess, part of the dramatic video as they were interrogating
01:59:28.740 him.
01:59:28.940 They said, so what kind of glasses do you wear?
01:59:30.900 They discussed that and the attorney general, you know, went back and forth with them and
01:59:36.800 then they said, well, whose glasses are these?
01:59:38.520 And they were found in the car.
01:59:39.800 I should read the actual quote because the quote is, uh, I would say not helpful.
01:59:44.720 This is a little tip for you out there.
01:59:46.380 If you happen to run someone over and the police find, uh, the person you run over glasses in
01:59:52.560 your car, try not to respond this way.
01:59:55.920 The police officer says there's Joe's glasses.
01:59:58.300 This is the guy who died.
01:59:59.260 So that means his face came through your windshield.
02:00:01.880 An investigator tells him, uh, who lets out an obvious gasp and then said, I wondered
02:00:07.720 about that.
02:00:09.060 Now I wondered about what the deer's glasses.
02:00:13.620 I don't know why there was a face in my windshield when I hit a deer.
02:00:18.700 What were you wondering exactly?
02:00:20.420 Now, who knows with the media and everything else?
02:00:22.980 I mean, there could be other, I don't know what the story would be.
02:00:26.040 I will say that Christy Noem has looked over the, uh, evidence.
02:00:29.080 Uh, they're both Republicans and she's now issued a statement in response to the conclusion
02:00:33.640 of the investigation calling for the attorney general to step down.
02:00:36.200 Uh, which I think is totally appropriate.
02:00:38.880 He's not guilty.
02:00:40.320 He's not been tried.
02:00:41.620 It doesn't look good, but I'm not a hit a deer, go home ophthalmologist, uh, kind of
02:00:51.180 guy that might have deer glasses in my front seat.
02:00:54.340 So I don't know.
02:00:56.020 It doesn't look good, but he's not been convicted.
02:01:00.080 He should step down and devote full time.
02:01:03.640 I would classify the entire incident to be a suboptimal suboptimal suboptimal.
02:01:09.440 There's optimal.
02:01:10.600 So I just want to see what the people of South Dakota common sense ground, what are they willing
02:01:16.120 to put up with?
02:01:16.900 Are you going to demand that, uh, Oh, that kind of like bad, uh, or, uh, or not.
02:01:23.980 If he turns out that he's innocent, great, put him back in office, but maybe he should
02:01:31.480 devote himself full time to a stronger defense.
02:01:36.880 This is the Glenn Beck program.
