On this episode of The Glenn Beck Program, host Glenn Beck talks about the dangers of online home title fraud and why you should never be a victim of this online crime. He also talks about how you can protect your money and your family from online criminals.
00:05:42.240They're now not paying attention to to an equal degree of sympathetic attention to the living those who are living the economic story, such as the Dallas woman who pushed back open her air salon was thrown in jail.
00:05:56.580There is a class divide between those who are hard line on lockdowns and those who are pushing back.
00:06:01.860The normal people aren't connected through professional or social lines to power structures, and they have regular jobs, service workers, small business owners.
00:06:12.340And since the pandemic began, the overclass has been in charge.
00:06:16.960Scientists, doctors, political figures, consultants calling the shots for the average person.
00:06:21.760But personally, they have less skin in the game.
00:06:25.320The National Institutes of Health scientists, they're not going to lose their livelihood over what's happened.
00:06:39.240They realize that it is real, and it will continue.
00:06:43.540They know they might get sick themselves, but they also figure it this way.
00:06:48.000Hundreds of thousands could die in the American economy taken down, which would mean millions of other casualties, economic ones, or hundreds of thousands that could die if the American economy is damaged beyond repair.
00:07:13.560They know the politicians and the scientists can't really weigh this on a scale with any precision because life is a messy thing and doesn't want to be quantified.
00:07:22.400The article goes on to say, here's a generalization based on a lifetime experience and observation.
00:07:29.580Working class people who are pushing back have had harder lives than those now determining their fate.
00:07:36.680They haven't had familial or economic ease.
00:10:59.040All of these people who had lost their jobs, if Donald Trump would have been the one giving the lockdown orders,
00:11:07.080if he would have listened to the left and the press and become a dictator and said, no, no one is opening up until this date.
00:11:17.280All of these stories of these businesses that are closing, all of these stories of the guy who started his music store back in 1975 and it's been his dream and he wasn't rich, but he was happy.
00:11:30.880And now he had to close it and the state came after him because he tried to open it up and now he's lost everything.
00:11:39.340I guarantee you, all of those stories would have been wall to wall on cable news, would have been wall to wall on the front page of the New York Times.
00:11:48.960But because it's the left that is doing this, they pay no attention to it.
00:11:55.420That's the sad thing about our country.
00:12:02.640And another thing that the press misses.
00:12:24.540If you, if you, if you force us into something, we don't want to do it.
00:12:29.340But if we, if you just give us the information and let us decide for ourselves, we'll do it.
00:12:39.180As evidenced in, in Stu's show last week, he did a whole show on just the stats on how Americans went into lockdown long before the state or the government said you should go into lockdown.
00:12:55.460We knew, we watched TV, we started to self-quarantine automatically.
00:20:16.580It's an honor to talk to you, Melissa.
00:20:19.820So, I was calling in to say I took care of my very first COVID patient last night.
00:20:25.060So, I will say, disclaimer, only one patient.
00:20:30.960My very first one, lady, was asymptomatic.
00:20:33.740So, precautions that we took, I was gowned up any time I was in contact with her, limited the amount of time I was in contact with her to protect me.
00:20:44.280Before I left work, I changed clothes, wiped down my shoes, took off my hair cap, put it in a plastic bag.
00:20:50.960Personally, I feel like I'm pretty safe.
00:20:53.480I'm a young, healthy person, so I'm good.
00:20:56.640And precautions I'm going to take on my own without being instructed by any official by law is I called my sister, who I was planning on visiting this weekend, told her, hey, I came in contact.
00:21:10.120I think I'm okay, but you make the decision if you feel like I'm safe to come over to your house.
00:21:15.540Now, do you think, do you think, Melissa, this is, do you think this is because you're a nurse that you're doing that?
00:21:20.560Or do you think Americans have enough common sense to figure this out?
00:21:30.040Because I will tell you, truthfully, the medical community is going just about as crazy as the common American.
00:21:35.680I'm quite surprised that as educated individuals, they are going nuts and just, in my opinion, losing their common sense and going way overboard, my opinion.
00:21:48.680So, well, that, that opinion will not be, you've just, you've just guaranteed that now we are no longer on YouTube, that this clip will be demonetized and banned and the WHO will be calling you now, Melissa.
00:22:05.960I know, don't, don't, don't, don't tell too much information about me.
00:22:09.520I don't want to be, I know, I know, I know.
00:22:12.460Melissa, thank you so much for your phone call.
00:25:32.920Well, I'm I work in a public health office and I'll kind of leave that out of it.
00:25:40.720But my struggle is, is that they put out all these really stupid guidelines last week on phase one clarifications and phase two clarifications for outdoor tennis, paddle boarding, horseback riding.
00:26:36.580I'm just I'm very shaken by everything that's going on right now, just in the country as a whole, but especially in the bluer states with the governors like this who have pretty much overtaking everything.
00:26:48.660If you can't go out and play tennis safely, I don't know what you can do safely.
00:26:52.340Yeah, horseback riding seems like you should be able to do that pretty safely.
00:26:59.220There are tell me what's happening in your long term health care facilities there in Washington that you think need addressing.
00:27:09.360I don't know, Stu, if you saw it, but there is a story about what the FEMA nurses that are volunteers from all over the country are finding in New York at health care facilities,
00:39:00.9001099 struggles, but I figured I'd intersect some good.
00:39:04.840This coronavirus lockdown has actually brought me closer to my daughter.
00:39:12.080We lost her mom, my wife, at birth, and I've always seen dropping her off at daycare and picking her up is, I'm embarrassed to say, somewhat of a burden.
00:39:26.780It's just I'm enjoying every day that I get to spend with her.
00:39:30.540And, you know, I picked up a job at a – I'm a realtor, so I picked up a job, an extra job at a big box store just to make some extra money.
00:39:39.320But I just can't wait spending time with her now.
00:39:48.540My family is closer than I think we have ever been as well.
00:39:53.860And it's amazing the things that, as a dad, at least I can say as a dad, the things that I have not done in the past just because I've been busy or I've been at work.
00:40:08.020And now that I'm here, just the ability to get up in the morning and, you know, say good morning to the kids or have lunch with the kids or just even just, you know, pop in on the grandkids and say, hey, what's going on, is really fantastic.
00:41:29.080You've heard me talk about my Tecovis boots and how much I love them and what a great company they come from.
00:41:40.020It's a small business that's doing things the right way down here in Texas.
00:41:43.460Well, given the challenges that we're going through as a country, Tecovis has asked me to speak about something else that comes to mind every time I put on my Tecovis boots.
00:42:35.640Let's tell you about Brick House Nutrition.
00:42:38.200Look, we can self-isolate, I suppose, forever.
00:42:41.340And maybe we're going to get sick a little bit less often.
00:42:43.180But getting your immune system healthy is part of the game here.
00:42:47.460And it's also about just, that's just general health by eating right and making sure you get the right nutrients and minerals and vitamins that you need.
00:42:55.420Field of Greens is a great way of doing this from Brick House Nutrition.
00:42:59.780One scoop of Field of Greens has a full serving of real USDA certified organic fruits and vegetables, which boosts energy and supports a healthy immune system.
00:43:08.580If you're out of shape, I mean, I don't know anybody on this show who, you know, me, Glenn, nobody, I mean, everybody here at the Play is super healthy.
00:43:14.940But if you want to make sure that you're boosting the actual healthy things you're eating and maybe a little bit less of the fried foods, you may want to try a diet of fruits and vegetables.
00:43:24.620But you don't want to have to eat that diet.
00:44:12.880I've been asking you today to call in and tell me how you're doing and tell me the things that you've been shouting about inside, the things that you think need to be said and haven't been said.
00:44:34.340Well, I got to make a confession to you next.
00:44:40.020I feel like every word I have spoken in the last hour has been really difficult for me to get out.
00:44:54.160And during the last break, I realized I can't.
00:44:59.360It's because I have something to say that needs to be said.
00:47:23.240I was not planning on talking about this today, but I am so bothered by it that I have to.
00:47:30.880I had just a wicked dream last night, and it was one of those accusing dreams where I'm, you know, a group of people or whatever, or you're like, what are you doing, man?
00:47:52.640And I don't know if you've ever had one of these, and I don't know if I've ever even had one of these, but it was a group of people that were saying, you know what has to be done.
00:48:07.800You know what has to be said, and you're not doing it.
00:48:15.540And I said, well, I'm trying, but, you know, COVID and everything else.
00:48:21.780And I realized how it just as dream just kind of put it into terms, it doesn't have to be anything.
00:48:30.460It just has to be said and has to be done.
00:48:32.700So I was planning on meeting with some people today to take care of it, but I am so moved by, I have to say this to you today.
00:48:42.940And it revolves around what we were trying to do at Gettysburg, and because of COVID-19, I don't know exactly what we're going to be doing.
00:48:50.800But that whole thing with Gettysburg, the point of it was, is to call America back to God and make a covenant with God.
00:49:04.560And that's where it has gotten dicey for all people involved.
00:49:09.800I mean, there is a, there is a state, I think, senator or representative up in Pennsylvania that tried to just get the state of Pennsylvania to reissue the national proclamation that Abraham Lincoln issued right after Gettysburg.
00:49:29.240And she was called all kinds of names.
00:51:05.200Whereas a joint committee of both houses of Congress has waited on the president of the United States and requested him to recommend a day of public humiliation, prayer and fasting to be observed by the people of the United States with religious solemnities and offering a fervent supplications to almighty God for the safety and welfare of these states.
00:51:26.220His blessing on our arms and a speedy restoration of peace and whereas it's fit in becoming in all people at all times to acknowledge and revere the supreme government of God, to bow in humble submissions to his chastisements,
00:51:41.120to confess and deplore their sins and transgressions in the full conviction that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and to pray with all fervency and contrition for the pardon of our past offenses and for a blessing upon our present and perspective action.
00:52:02.000And whereas when our own beloved country, once by the blessings of God, united, prosperous and happy, is now afflicted with faction and civil war,
00:52:15.840it is particularly fit for us now to recognize the hand of God in this terrible visitation and in sorrowful remembrance of our own faults and crimes as a nation and individuals,
00:52:29.780to humble ourselves before him to humble ourselves before him and to pray for his mercy and to pray that we may be spared further punishment,
00:52:38.740the most justly deserved, that our arms may be blessed and made effectual for the reestablishment of law and order and peace throughout the wide extent of our country.
00:52:53.880And that the inestimable boon of civil and religious liberty earned under his guidance and blessing by the labors and sufferings of our fathers may be restored in all of its original excellence.
00:53:06.900I, therefore, Abraham Lincoln, president of the United States, do appoint the last Thursday in September.
00:53:12.400Next is a day of humiliation, prayer and fasting for all the people of the nation.
00:53:17.100I do earnestly recommend to all the people and especially to all the ministers and teachers of religion of all denominations and to the heads of all families to observe and keep that day,
00:53:27.920according to their several creeds and modes of worship in all in all in all humility and with all religious solemnity and to the end that the united prayer of the nation may ascend to the throne of grace and bring down plentiful blessings upon our country.
00:53:45.920I've set my hand upon the seal, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
00:53:50.400When he made that proclamation, we had lost all but one battle, I think one or two battles in the civil war.
00:55:22.920March 23rd through April 5th, Gallup took a poll and they said, are you happy?
00:55:29.940The percentage of Americans that said they were happy was 67%.
00:55:33.940The percentage of Americans answering that question between April 27th and May 10th, this last poll, has gone from 67% to 72% Americans that are happy.
00:55:52.840I'm not seeing that reflected anywhere.
01:05:02.060We've gone to Sonic, and we've done the drive-thru, which, you know, I haven't done since I was a kid with the family and really just had the time to enjoy it.
01:05:12.000Hang on, Tim, because I know you want to talk about your son with ADHD.
01:05:37.240But Uno joined the family, and he's always been a young pup in a way, but I didn't realize how slowly he had aged and kind of gone dead inside a little bit.
01:05:54.140We have a big backyard that he can run in and play, and he hadn't.
01:06:03.780It has all of the vitamins and minerals and digestive enzymes and probiotics and the omega oils and antioxidants, all the things that are alive.
01:06:11.560They're cooked out of your dog's food, especially if you have kibbles, and it puts it back in there.
01:07:36.420He's got no money, and we're trying to get him to come back to the farm where he can eat and drink as we would anyone that would stop by if they were hungry.
01:07:57.940I think we all have, I mean, many of us have stories like that.
01:08:03.380We have, you know, our kids have all gone through a bout of depression from this, and all of the family has had their different bouts of, you know,
01:08:17.760my son in particular is in high school and, you know, typical teenage boy and likes to be out and playing with friends and doing things,
01:08:26.540and he is really having a difficult time with all of this.
01:08:34.320But I don't think people are paying attention to the severity of what's happening behind the closed doors in America,
01:08:42.660and the media is completely off of that because it would play into the narrative, I guess they would think, of Donald Trump opening up the country.
01:08:54.480And so they're missing all of these real stories that are affecting real people.
01:10:37.900Today was the first day I really noticed an uptick in the amount of cars on the road.
01:10:43.840And, you know, for us, essential people, unlike you non-essential people like Glenn Beck, us essential people, we've been talking about it now.
01:10:53.800We're just like, oh, gosh, the non-essentials are coming back.
01:12:18.640And our governor here, even though he's a tyrant, religious tyrant, he kept essential workers as a lawn care, and so I was able to work through it.
01:12:29.740But it didn't matter, because if he had not, I would have kept working anyway.
01:12:33.600And I think that's one of the problems.
01:12:34.940People should have just kept working, just kept going, keeping businesses open, you know, like the Shelly Luther lady and the Mikey guy up in Michigan with a barber.
01:13:04.160And I've just been, I hate to say taking advantage of it, I'm not, but they've been thanking me for coming out and, you know, keeping their lawns looking good.
01:13:10.760But I just kept working, and I'm still doing it.
01:13:13.720I don't need anything from the government.
01:15:18.920You know, the Pony Express didn't go on for very long.
01:15:22.440And the Pony Express, in the job, you know, flyer, if you will, the posters, they wanted young orphans because the life expectancy of these Pony Express riders was, you know, six months to a year.
01:15:41.240And they would be taking the mail through the most dangerous parts of the country, and they just wouldn't stop.
01:15:49.300They would actually switch horses along the way, grab some water, get back on the fresh horse and continue to ride.
01:15:56.740Well, one of them was like this 10-year-old kid, and I can't remember his name now, but he rode, and he was just, the kid was fearless.
01:16:06.000He does Pony Express, then he, I think he fights in the Civil War.
01:16:14.420He fights in the Civil War as a Pony Express rider, right around that same time.
01:16:18.000Then he goes and he applies to fight in World War I.
01:16:23.620He fights in the Spanish-American War, World War I.
01:16:28.020Then he applies to fight in World War II, but he's so old, they're like, dude, you can't.
01:16:34.680He goes up to Canada and tries to get into the Canadian military.
01:16:42.580The British say, we'll take you, but instead, we decided to put him on the road here to help raise money for war bonds here in the United States.
01:16:53.000But the guy just wouldn't give up, and those are the stories that used to stir us, you know?
01:16:58.880I was talking to somebody this weekend about a series of books.
01:17:02.920There are these great books that were written in the 30s, 40s, 50s, and they started to fall out of fashion in the 70s.
01:17:11.340They were all kids' books, and they all talked about heroes, American heroes and foreign heroes all over the world.
01:17:17.000And, you know, we were talking about how they were driven by the story.
01:17:24.840And, yeah, they didn't have all the details, and they didn't have all the bad things in them, etc., etc.
01:17:30.380So people would say, well, then they're technically wrong.
01:17:33.140Well, no, because what they were were stories.
01:17:36.720They were stories to make us understand who we are and who we can be.
01:17:43.920So, yeah, the new history books, some of them you could say maybe are more accurate, but I wouldn't say that because they're so skewed the other direction and so skewed with lies.
01:17:56.680This, what, 1619 project with the New York Times is an abomination to history, an absolute abomination to history.
01:19:42.060Not only did Matt Anthony Wayne continue to fight all the way through it, he then sat down and wrote a letter to George Washington and and said, I have to write still with the whole bleeding in his head said, first, I have to write the general and tell him what happened.
01:20:01.180And he writes a simple note, and it just says, dear general, the garrison and the fort are ours, period.
01:20:12.520Your men fought like men determined to be free.
01:20:56.240I told you a while back that one of the people who works for me remotely in Wichita, Kansas, moving to the Dallas area, he looked into real estate agents I trust.
01:21:06.100And yesterday morning, their agent, Kirk, put the house on the market in less than 11 hours.
01:21:13.820The house was under contract significant amount, more than even the asking price.
01:21:20.280Josh says, Kirk was there with us every single step of the way.
01:21:23.740He knew precisely what we needed to do to get the house ready, even pointed us towards the best people to do various jobs for the best deals.
01:21:31.380Smart, professional, helpful every step of the way.
01:21:35.120Picard may be the best captain, but Kirk is the best realtor.
01:21:39.680That's the experience you get from real estate agents I trust.
01:24:00.680I want to talk to you a little bit about our spotlight here, American Financing.
01:24:04.880American Financing can help you get your finances in order.
01:24:09.120If you have a loan that is currently financed at about 4% or more, you need to call American Financing because you're going to save a buttload of money.
01:24:21.160It's important that you make a 10-minute phone call to these guys.
01:24:25.040They're going to be able to help you out on your high-interest rate credit cards and folding them into your mortgage.
01:24:31.140You can save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars every single month with American Financing.
01:27:08.700We're finding that we don't need all of this stuff, and we don't like all of that clutter in our life, whether it's things or activities.
01:27:16.960But there is something that can help you save money when you are going out and buying stuff, and that is honey.
01:27:23.720It's an app, and it's a free app, and you can get it now at joinhoney.com slash back.
01:27:29.900And what it does is it's like a digital version of your grandmother without all of the really yummy cookies and great stories and everything else.
01:27:38.340But honey goes and works behind the scenes while you're shopping online.
01:27:44.920And when you go to checkout, you just click on honey, and it gives all of the coupons that your grandmother would have clipped.
01:27:51.340And give all of the discounts and everything else and puts it there so you save money.
01:27:56.220So it's really like passing on free money if you don't have honey.
01:29:43.120And I remember being at a fair once that was run by a woman's group that did a lot with domestic abuse.
01:29:52.020And I mentioned it to the woman, and I said it was written by Glenn Beck, and her arms went immediately across her chest, and her foot started tapping.
01:30:07.600And it started the way abuse always does.
01:30:10.780They first annihilate you from your family, your friends.
01:30:16.940They start with the newest, so they're the easiest to get away.
01:30:20.040But in that book, it shows that, indeed, God is always with you.
01:30:29.440And there are people who really never leave you.
01:30:34.760And they're there for when you need them.
01:30:36.800And she read that book, and when she was finally able to get strength and courage, your book helped her to get to where she is today, which is in a safe place.
01:30:51.480She is still fighting the abuse, because abusers continue to abuse, no matter what.
01:31:24.240But I was on stage, and there was a place on one of the shows that I was doing where I was on stage, and I didn't have to say anything for about 10 minutes.
01:31:38.280And it was towards the end of the show.
01:31:40.180And I sat there, and that entire story downloaded into my head.
01:31:45.620And when I walked off stage, I said to the person who was standing there, the stage manager, I said, I need a piece of paper and some pencils, quickly.
01:31:56.940And I went back out, took my bow, and then I sat backstage and wrote down all the points of that story.
01:32:03.260And it was written really for my sisters as we grew up in an abusive household.
01:32:11.360And, you know, at the end of my father's life, he was abusive in a weird way.
01:32:26.700He became my mother instead of his father, who was abusive.
01:32:31.000And he just, he, or he became his mother, who just stood by the abuse instead of being the abuser.
01:32:40.100And, um, he kept repeating this pattern.
01:32:44.860And at the very end, um, my father, who had become my best friend, uh, we were estranged at the very end, um, because we had an intervention and it did not go well.
01:33:00.400And, uh, it's something I struggle with still to this day, trying to understand, um, abuse.
01:33:13.560And sometimes it's a sickness that goes on and on and on.
01:33:18.160And, um, it should be all of our goals to stop it in whatever form it takes in our, in our home.
01:33:26.680Otherwise, if we are not strong enough, or we think we're not strong enough, or we are, uh, we allow it to go on in some other way, but we are not the abuser this time.
01:33:54.140Uh, a long time, long time listener, Glenn Beck, every morning, uh, first time caller.
01:34:00.160I, uh, I spoke with your receiver earlier, uh, here in Maine.
01:34:04.860We, uh, we've obviously been less affected by the viruses in most of the country, fortunately, but economically that has been no different.
01:34:15.340I train, uh, racehorses, which our season came to a stop because of that.
01:34:21.000And, uh, I, I applied for the PPP loan, which I wasn't surprised that I, that I didn't get, uh, but that aside from that, a couple of the people that invest with me, that buy horses with me, they have other businesses that are doing just fine through this.
01:36:01.640Uh, well, we, uh, we race seasonally and we usually start the very beginning of April.
01:36:06.440So as you can imagine, after about three months with no income, we were just about to get the ball moving and, uh, down the field and the brakes came on.
01:36:15.260So we've been sitting idle for a couple of months.
01:36:17.640Uh, our industry is struggling financially because of that, but things are starting to open up where we're, we're, we're very hopeful that we're going to get the green light in the near future and be back and running.
01:36:32.240My wife is an RN, so it's not as though we're without income, but, uh, some of, uh, my colleagues that totally rely on this industry, uh, being agricultural based in on the move.
01:36:44.360We're certainly really struggling right now, uh, but we're hoping to climb out of it in the very near future.
01:37:04.500Uh, I just want to, I'm just saying, uh, honestly, this whole quarantine has been a breath of fresh air for our family.
01:37:14.200Uh, my wife has spent most of the last five years bedridden with various illnesses and is just now starting to find help.
01:37:23.980So, um, it's been, yeah, so it's been really just an opportunity.
01:37:30.480I have two kids, a 10 year old and, uh, uh, another boy just turned seven.
01:37:35.060Um, so from the family side, it's really been just an opportunity to, um, really just, just reconnect instead of having to, um, just try and survive, which is what we've been doing.
01:38:07.080Um, but it's just been, it's been an opportunity to, um, pursue some projects with our family.
01:38:15.060Um, from the production side, we actually were inspired by you, kind of inspired by you with your, I know y'all had the guy on that, that shared a bunch of board games and you.
