00:00:00.000 Stu, I think the expert we talked to today about the solar eclipse said it best when he said, some people should look directly at the sun.
00:00:09.400 Right.
00:00:10.400 Yeah, you specifically, he pointed out.
00:00:12.740 Yeah, which was weird.
00:00:14.040 Well, you're in the media, that might be why.
00:00:15.640 Yeah, could be.
00:00:16.400 All of your really important eclipse news coming up, if this even makes it to your podcast, the solar rays.
00:00:28.620 Yes, I mean, God only knows if we're even alive tonight, but we were here in the end.
00:00:37.500 Pressing on the all the news you need to know about that and so much more and an open phone
00:00:43.620 day all on your podcast, which begins in a minute.
00:00:48.800 Let me talk to you a little bit about the founders of our country.
00:00:51.180 They understood that freedom is never more than a moment away from vanishing.
00:00:56.300 And if an unarmed population exists, that's why they crafted the Second Amendment. 1.00
00:01:02.400 I believe in that freedom.
00:01:04.340 You believe in that freedom.
00:01:05.780 It's also responsibility.
00:01:08.060 Not every situation in an emergency calls for lethal force.
00:01:12.400 Sometimes non-lethal is the right answer.
00:01:15.160 For that, there's the burner launcher.
00:01:16.760 Have you ever thought about being trapped by a crowd, you know, in your car?
00:01:22.800 Because I think we're going to have those problems again this fall, unfortunately.
00:01:27.260 That's where a burner launcher would be great.
00:01:30.240 It's a complement to your firearms.
00:01:32.280 There's a situation where less lethal is the way to go.
00:01:35.100 And burner is the best way to go for it.
00:01:37.460 You can hit a kinetic round, or you can just roll your window down a little bit and hit
00:01:43.300 them with tear gas.
00:01:44.720 That incapacitates people for about 45 minutes.
00:01:48.220 Proudly American, made in Fort Wayne, Indiana by gun lovers.

00:02:07.460 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:18.660 Are you okay?
00:02:22.060 Very concerned.
00:02:23.260 Very concerned still.
00:02:25.280 I've been reading about some of the things that people believe about the solar eclipse.
00:02:29.480 You should wear black if you're pregnant. 1.00
00:02:31.120 Wear black today.
00:02:32.120 Now, here's why.
00:02:33.180 If you're not wearing black, if you're outside and the solar eclipse happened and you're wearing
00:02:36.940 black, your baby will be born with a birthmark. 0.84
00:02:40.760 Now, I've got birthmarks on me, and I don't think I was born in an eclipse, but I could
00:02:45.420 have been, and I didn't even know it.
00:02:49.020 Keep your infant away from windows.
00:02:51.820 That one seems like good advice.
00:02:55.240 Doesn't it?
00:02:56.400 Well.
00:02:56.900 Because if they open their eyes and they look at the sun, they're not going to have the
00:02:59.080 glasses on.
00:02:59.780 Oh, I was thinking about just generally speaking.
00:03:02.080 Yeah, I guess it is good to keep your babies away from open windows.
00:03:05.340 From open windows in particular.
00:03:07.080 Yes.
00:03:07.280 Right.
00:03:07.460 At high altitudes.
00:03:09.060 Yeah.
00:03:10.480 So, a lot of people are freaking out about this.
00:03:15.760 Yeah, I've noticed that.
00:03:16.660 That's strange to me.
00:03:17.840 Is that because we're freaked out about everything else?
00:03:21.800 Because we know what these are.
00:03:24.100 And I'm going to, I don't want to, I'm a doctor, okay?
00:03:26.760 I'm a doctor.
00:03:27.780 So, I can explain this to you.
00:03:29.420 I'll try to dumb it down.
00:03:31.220 But there are three big bodies, like planets.
00:03:37.300 And I'm not talking about my big body.
00:03:38.980 I'm talking about, like, the earth.
00:03:41.220 Then there's the sun, which is not a planet.
00:03:44.480 Uh, it's, it's just gaseous.
00:03:48.440 Sorry.
00:03:49.120 And then there's the moon.
00:03:51.440 And the moon and the earth and the sun, we kind of rotate around, you know?
00:03:58.480 We go around the sun and the moon goes around us.
00:04:01.580 And occasionally, the moon blocks the sun from our vantage point.
00:04:06.780 Oh, you're still believing that hype?
00:04:09.020 Jeez.
00:04:09.800 I'm just following the, I'm just following the science, man.
00:04:12.540 That's all I'm doing.
00:04:13.980 Right.
00:04:14.740 How do you not know the truth that occasionally the sun needs to recharge?
00:04:18.880 Uh, it's a giant CIA scam.
00:04:22.980 It has a giant battery.
00:04:24.860 And so, they switch the batteries out.
00:04:27.140 It's a quote-unquote solar eclipse.
00:04:29.080 But, I mean, I didn't think anybody still believed the whole moon-sun thing.
00:04:35.420 I mean, it's happening.
00:04:36.900 Oh, they're all just having the perfect distance away to cover the sun exactly.
00:04:41.100 Does anyone buy that?
00:04:42.480 Come on.
00:04:42.780 Well, it's only from our vantage point.
00:04:44.840 Certain parts.
00:04:45.760 Oh.
00:04:46.580 You see what I mean?
00:04:47.120 Oh, okay.
00:04:47.740 Okay, now, the Navajos believe that the sun and moon are mating, which-
00:04:55.300 I could buy that.
00:04:55.920 The sun's pretty hot.
00:04:58.300 You know.
00:04:59.040 Ba-dum-bum. 1.00
00:04:59.880 And the moon.
00:05:01.900 Oh, it's cold.
00:05:03.060 That's why they think they call it mooning.
00:05:05.280 Uh, so, uh, the eclipse is just the moon and the sun mating.
00:05:14.900 Please, please.
00:05:17.740 Can we stop with all of this sex in front of our children? 1.00
00:05:24.800 I would like to ban the eclipse today because I find it wholly inappropriate.
00:05:31.080 Anyway, uh, as soon as the- I mean, it's fast.
00:05:34.420 There's not a big gestation period.
00:05:36.080 It's when the moon finally moves away from the sun, there's a birth of a new era.
00:05:43.200 Mm-hmm.
00:05:43.700 Mm-hmm.
00:05:44.760 Mm-hmm.
00:05:45.060 Now, the Taos people, the Taos Pueblo of New Mexico, they believe you need to stay indoors, keep your babies from the windows.
00:05:55.820 The Cherokees say the eclipse means a giant frog in the sky is trying to eat the sun.
00:06:01.880 That one I considered for a while today.
00:06:04.460 That seems legit.
00:06:05.420 That seems, yeah.
00:06:06.580 I mean, that could happen.
00:06:08.040 They're already turning the frogs gay. 1.00
00:06:10.100 Now the gay frogs are going to eat the sun. 1.00
00:06:12.380 You know that, so that's why you have to go outside and make big noise with drums, whistles, or just your voice to scare away the frog.
00:06:21.280 Jump frog!
00:06:23.180 Jump frog!
00:06:26.460 Now, an astronomer at the Frankel Institute, he says, you know, this is all nonsense.
00:06:35.940 It's science.
00:06:37.140 It's just the moon moving in front of the sun.
00:06:38.980 It happens.
00:06:39.720 It's part of the clockwork of the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:06:44.540 However, Stephanie Renee, with two E's and an accent grande, she's known as the Vibe Mistress. 1.00
00:06:57.340 She's not just the Vibe Mistress.
00:06:59.100 She's the Vibe Mistress of the Soul Sanctuary, which is a non-profit arts education foundation.
00:07:06.360 Because, damn it, she should not have to pay taxes, okay?
00:07:10.200 She's the Vibe Mistress. 0.99
00:07:11.660 She says, because she studies astrology, this is a new beginning and marks a radical change.
00:07:25.320 She said, it's a radical movement moving forward in your own individual energy.
00:07:31.760 Right now, I can feel it.
00:07:35.300 There is like, I don't know how to describe it.
00:07:39.640 You know how you have butterflies in your stomach?
00:07:41.660 I feel like I have anarchists in my stomach right now.
00:07:45.000 There is some kind of radical movement that's building inside of me.
00:07:49.340 I don't know.
00:07:50.320 I don't know.
00:07:52.160 I just hope before the moon and the sun, mate, that I can crap them all out.
00:07:57.680 Flush them down the toilet.
00:07:59.740 Anyway, she says, this is happening this time with Mercury.
00:08:07.740 Come on, say it.
00:08:08.780 What's the worst possible scenario?
00:08:11.660 Mercury is in?
00:08:13.260 Retrograde?
00:08:13.940 Yes!
00:08:14.580 Uh-oh.
00:08:14.940 Even you knew that.
00:08:16.720 Yeah.
00:08:17.080 Even you knew that.
00:08:18.960 This means that we are, because Mercury is in retrograde, this means we have to double and triple check what you think, what you say, and what you do.
00:08:28.580 Now, even if Mercury wasn't in retrograde, which it is, and I'm not mocking it, I think that's a good safety tip for all of us, especially now.
00:08:39.480 We should, again, double and triple check what you say, what you think, and what you do.
00:08:48.200 Ha! 0.89
00:08:48.500 That's profound.
00:08:50.820 I wouldn't have gotten it if Mercury wasn't in retrograde.
00:08:53.760 Right.
00:08:54.300 You know?
00:08:54.800 You don't need to do that regularly anyway.
00:08:57.280 No, I don't want to do that regularly.
00:08:58.840 I wouldn't even, but Mercury is in retrograde on the day of the eclipse, so that's when we, in fact, people should be careful about making major purchases.
00:09:07.960 Purchases, I'm glad she caught me, because I was going to make a major purchase of something today, I don't even know what, but I was just, I got up this morning, maybe it's the anarchists in my stomach that are building up this radical movement inside of me that I'm like, I got to go buy something, and I got to go buy something big, and I'm not even going to read the contract.
00:09:28.940 But Mercury is in retrograde, so I'm going to think twice, and then again, a third time about doing that.
00:09:35.280 Don't make any major purchases, don't sign any contracts, and there should be a high level of caution.
00:09:43.320 She also says it's significant that this eclipse is happening as the skies enter the astrological sign of Aries, and we all know what that means.
00:09:55.340 It means that you have all this Aries energy, right? 0.95
00:10:00.080 Don't you hate it when you have Aries energy?
00:10:02.420 Big Aries energy, yeah.
00:10:03.100 Oh, I hate that.
00:10:03.900 It's pushing you forward, you know, in eclipse.
00:10:07.860 That's about an inner shift inside of you.
00:10:10.100 At the same time, Mercury in retrograde is telling you to slow down, but Aries is saying, speed up.
00:10:15.800 So you are fighting right now, speed up, slow down.
00:10:19.320 Do I buy something that's ridiculously expensive without reading a contract today or not?
00:10:24.840 Mercury says no.
00:10:26.020 Aries says yes.
00:10:27.280 I don't know.
00:10:28.840 The world is in confusion.
00:10:30.960 But all you have to do is check, double check, triple check.
00:10:41.160 Boy, I'm glad.
00:10:41.900 Wow.
00:10:42.320 I mean, I see why she's not paying taxes, don't you?
00:10:44.400 Oh, definitely.
00:10:45.360 Seriously?
00:10:45.960 That's fascinating.
00:10:46.800 Yeah.
00:10:47.040 I mean, I might be more fascinated in the fact that people flew from all over the country
00:10:51.720 to come see this happen and it's going to be cloudy.
00:10:54.800 Well, not everywhere.
00:10:56.200 It's just here in Dallas.
00:10:58.320 I've heard a lot of this path is going to wind up with clouds, which is rough.
00:11:03.540 So here in Dallas, I read that some people have been, you know, staying at the Ritz-Carlton
00:11:10.040 and they got a two-day stay for $6,700.
00:11:15.180 Oh my gosh.
00:11:16.140 Ah, $6,700.
00:11:17.480 Now, it's cloudy.
00:11:19.500 So I just want to tell those that paid $6,700.
00:11:25.240 $6,700.
00:11:26.440 Thank you.
00:11:28.260 You can come to my house for an additional $10,000 and have mac and cheese.
00:11:34.220 I'm just saying.
00:11:35.860 Wow.
00:11:36.380 So you're going to charge more, but you're also going to provide mac and cheese.
00:11:39.840 Now, I have had your mac and cheese.
00:11:40.980 It is delicious.
00:11:41.680 It is delicious.
00:11:42.700 So right from the box.
00:11:44.320 And it's very, very good.
00:11:45.940 And it's just $10,000.
00:11:49.700 That's it per person.
00:11:51.280 I mean, I'm not, I mean.
00:11:52.320 Well, you can't be crazy.
00:11:53.340 You can't be crazy.
00:11:54.240 Right.
00:11:54.540 But it's an Eclipse special only.
00:11:56.920 Okay.
00:11:57.640 So if you're here for the Eclipse and you feel like a sucker, just spend $10,000.
00:12:04.980 Come over, have mac and cheese with me, and you won't feel like a sucker anymore.
00:12:11.200 Are you, is this something you'll go out in the parking lot today and like observe?
00:12:16.380 Are you into it that much?
00:12:17.440 Or is it just like, this is ridiculous.
00:12:19.340 I'm not going to.
00:12:19.820 No, because it's, you know, it's history.
00:12:21.580 It is.
00:12:22.020 Yeah.
00:12:22.380 Because it was one in 2017.
00:12:23.640 And I remember standing in the parking lot awkwardly in 2017, but I really don't remember
00:12:28.100 much about it.
00:12:29.140 And I don't remember thinking it was such a big deal.
00:12:31.040 But before 2017, the last time I guess it happened was in 1979.
00:12:35.240 Yeah.
00:12:35.600 And it's not going to happen again until 2044.
00:12:37.640 Yeah.
00:12:37.800 We're done.
00:12:38.720 We're done.
00:12:39.160 This is it.
00:12:39.620 If, if we survive today, if we survive today, it'll be, you know, 2044 or whatever, long
00:12:47.780 after our death, you know, and it'll be a lot hotter than, because you know, global warming.
00:12:56.740 Okay.
00:12:56.940 So the earth has gravitational pull on the moon, right?
00:13:01.140 Okay.
00:13:02.040 Well, the earth and the moon are going to have an extra gravitational pull on the sun today.
00:13:08.300 Really?
00:13:08.760 Yeah.
00:13:09.640 And it could, we don't know.
00:13:10.980 It's like a yo-yo sometimes.
00:13:12.580 It'll just like, it just could go, come at us and then back.
00:13:16.160 It'll snap back.
00:13:17.000 Don't worry.
00:13:17.500 But it could come right at us today, which would be bad for North America.
00:13:23.420 Fine.
00:13:23.840 If you're in, if you're listening to us in Asia, you're good.
00:13:26.760 But North America could be gone from the earth.
00:13:30.920 It could happen.
00:13:31.960 It could happen.
00:13:32.500 Now your, your analysis is going to be put in the next article about all the stupid theories.
00:13:40.140 I just, I really don't know what's happening.
00:13:42.180 Is it, is it because we're so screwed up?
00:13:44.480 Is it because we're living in such chaos right now that people are, because I've never heard
00:13:50.600 this before.
00:13:51.300 I was there at 79.
00:13:52.540 I was there at 17.
00:13:54.560 We know what this is.
00:13:56.160 Right.
00:13:56.360 Because I, someone was pointing out that, you know, back in the day, this is when they
00:14:02.100 thought the world was ending.
00:14:03.080 And like, kind of understandable.
00:14:05.520 Yeah.
00:14:05.720 Right.
00:14:05.940 Like, I think if I was just in the middle of like, you know, you didn't have any, you
00:14:09.020 didn't have any satellites, you didn't, you know, any of this stuff, all of a sudden
00:14:12.060 the whole earth went dark in the middle of the day.
00:14:13.860 Like, yeah, I think that's actually a pretty reasonable summary of what might be coming.
00:14:17.820 I was thinking about that driving in today.
00:14:19.900 Imagine if you didn't know that this is the way things happen.
00:14:25.100 Imagine if you didn't know that.
00:14:26.760 And even today, if we wouldn't have talked about it in advance, if we didn't know in
00:14:31.980 advance, they were just like, oh yeah, it was eclipse.
00:14:34.540 A lot of people would be like, what the hell just happened?
00:14:37.860 But we know, we know.
00:14:40.900 Yeah.
00:14:41.360 I feel like there's still stuff that's like this too.
00:14:45.240 Like, I feel like there's still things in this world that we don't have any understanding
00:14:49.500 of and we think are totally like random.
00:14:51.380 And like in 50 years, people are gonna be like, imagine these idiots didn't even, like a tornado
00:14:55.740 is one of them.
00:14:57.280 There's gotta be some way to know when tornadoes around the corner.
00:15:00.460 And yet we just kind of stand there and all is, holy crap, here it comes!
00:15:03.860 And then it's all, that's it.
00:15:05.740 Hey, let's put our cameras outside and we'll film it until it's like a-
00:15:10.000 It ducks right on top of us. 0.99
00:15:11.380 Right, exactly.
00:15:12.060 Then we'll go, oh crap, I should have gone into a basement. 0.93
00:15:20.260 What would you give to be able to undo some of the mistakes of the past?
00:15:24.060 We've all made them.
00:15:24.800 We carry around the baggage from them.
00:15:27.480 Unfortunately, we can't take them back.
00:15:29.380 We can't ask for forgiveness.
00:15:31.000 But we also can help try to make up for mistakes.
00:15:34.220 We can try to help others make better decisions.
00:15:37.600 And the ministry of pre-born is doing that.
00:15:41.400 We, there are far-reaching consequences for the abortion industry in this country.
00:15:49.020 And we have got to lead the way.
00:15:52.260 And you don't do it by shouting at people.
00:15:55.400 You don't, you do it by loving the moms.
00:15:59.100 Really caring about the baby.
00:16:01.460 Not just the numbers.
00:16:02.840 Not just the babies.
00:16:04.100 While condemning the moms.
00:16:05.680 This is what pre-born does.
00:16:07.580 They've rescued over 280,000 babies through love, compassion, and free ultrasounds.
00:16:13.040 Every day, they rescue about 200 more.
00:16:15.780 They offer assistance to the mom for up to two years after the baby is born.
00:16:20.080 Just the ultrasound, which is free and $28 from people like you and me pay for it.
00:16:26.660 $140 could help rescue five babies.
00:16:29.560 But any amount will help.
00:16:31.460 Because they take care of the moms for two years after the baby is born. 0.96
00:16:35.500 And they introduce her to the baby the first day she walks in.
00:16:40.460 Thanks to you.
00:16:41.380 Will you help?
00:16:42.360 Pound 250.
00:16:43.480 Say the keyword baby.
00:16:44.640 Pound 250.
00:16:46.020 Keyword baby.

00:16:53.360 Now, back to the podcast.
00:16:55.760 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:16:58.820 So, what do you know about what's happening in Brazil, Stu?
00:17:02.620 I would say a limited amount.
00:17:04.820 I would say the same.
00:17:07.400 When the whole world is on fire, knowing the problems of one individual country is always a little bit difficult.
00:17:13.240 Okay.
00:17:13.480 But it does seem like there is an issue with Bolsonaro.
00:17:17.840 And what they were trying to do leading up to their most recent election.
00:17:22.160 Okay.
00:17:23.040 So, when was that?
00:17:25.840 October?
00:17:26.900 Okay.
00:17:27.240 So, it's been two years since he left office.
00:17:33.080 Mm-hmm.
00:17:33.460 Okay.
00:17:35.520 Was it 2024?
00:17:37.860 Hang on just a second.
00:17:38.860 2022, I mean.
00:17:39.880 Yeah, it was 2022.
00:17:41.340 Yeah, so a year and a half.
00:17:42.300 Yeah, a year and a half.
00:17:43.040 So, this was a really critical election for not just Brazil, but it was also for, you know, all of the World Economic Forum people.
00:17:57.680 The White House was very involved in this election because it went from a conservative Trump kind of guy to a socialist.
00:18:07.860 It was very close.
00:18:08.780 Labor union.
00:18:09.400 Very, very close.
00:18:10.320 And what happened was Bolsonaro said, wait a minute, it's too close.
00:18:20.780 There's too many things going on.
00:18:22.540 And he is still talking about it.
00:18:26.860 He's still talking about how bad the elections were.
00:18:29.560 And our CIA last year told senior Brazilian officials that President Bolsonaro should stop casting doubt on his country's voting system.
00:18:41.680 So, we now know that the CIA was involved in the election and just saying, hey, this has got to be fair and on the up and up.
00:18:52.460 So, the CIA is involved.
00:18:53.700 So, there's also the information, a third person in Washington familiar with the matter confirmed that a delegation led by Burns, William Burns, he's the CIA director, had told top Bolsonaro aides the president should stop undermining the confidence in Brazil's voting system.
00:19:16.540 Source was not certain whether the CIA director himself had voiced the message.
00:19:23.860 They would not go into what's discussed with the CIA, et cetera, et cetera.
00:19:30.020 Now, there is a judge, and I'm going to give you all of this information tomorrow.
00:19:36.460 We just needed to do so much homework on this because I have not been following it.
00:19:40.260 So, there is a Supreme Court judge that has taken a whole buttload of power, and he is starting to say, you know, basically January 6th.
00:19:52.860 They've scooped up, I think, about 2,000 people, and now he's starting to say, monitor this person, monitor this person, monitor this person.
00:20:01.440 And he went this weekend to all of social media and said, you've got to give us all the information on these people, or we shut you down.
00:20:12.080 Well, X said, no.
00:20:15.260 Everybody else did it.
00:20:18.000 Elon Musk said, no, I think freedom is, and they said, you will be out.
00:20:22.360 You will not be able to do anything in Brazil.
00:20:25.660 And he said, I think my principles are worth more than the money I'd make in Brazil.
00:20:32.280 So, it's almost a carbon copy of what's happening here in America, but I don't know who's on the good side, bad side down there.
00:20:41.440 You know what I mean?
00:20:42.100 It could look very much like what happened here, but not be what happened here.
00:20:47.000 However, there is something that really bothers me, and that is there was somebody that was involved down there.
00:20:59.960 But just a few years ago, in an interview with the BBC Brazil, Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs stated,
00:21:11.880 What needs to happen in Brazil are free and fair elections using institutional structures that have served Brazilians well in the past.
00:21:21.320 Okay.
00:21:22.780 Who was our Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs that was involving herself in the elections in Brazil? 1.00
00:21:31.160 I know you know it.
00:21:35.740 You just can't think of the name, right?
00:21:38.080 Victoria Newland.
00:21:40.100 Mm-hmm.
00:21:41.000 Victoria Newland.
00:21:42.820 She has been a regular topic on our TV show for quite some time.
00:21:49.340 She is the career State Department official that was caught in a leaked call seemingly orchestrating the Ukrainian internal politics in the wake of their revolution.
00:22:01.660 Okay?
00:22:01.980 Yeah.
00:22:02.360 She was like, yeah, but this is the one the State Department wants, yada, yada, yada.
00:22:06.040 And she was seen manipulating their system to get who they wanted in power over there. 1.00
00:22:14.760 So, we also showed you video of her handing out sandwiches and food at the Maiden Revolution.
00:22:26.580 That was the big one in 2013-2014.
00:22:30.600 And we have that.
00:22:32.300 Here's the video of that, I think.
00:22:35.200 Hello!
00:22:36.320 There she is.
00:22:36.880 What?
00:22:37.540 Thanks.
00:22:38.100 Say something.
00:22:39.060 Thanks.
00:22:40.260 Hello, how are you?
00:22:42.120 Good to see you.
00:22:42.920 What people maybe don't remember is that the State Department gave their people in Ukraine, they held classes on how to do a revolution, paid for by your tax dollars.
00:22:58.900 So, this was a color revolution, and she orchestrated it.
00:23:03.240 She's been around for a very, very, very long time.
00:23:07.900 Now, this doesn't, that's not the State Department's job.
00:23:12.160 That's supposed to be the CIA's job, and I don't want the CIA meddling in people's elections.
00:23:18.360 How arrogant of us.
00:23:19.960 This war in Ukraine that is getting worse and worse, and that Biden is walking right into, it all stems from us meddling in their election in 2013 and 2014.
00:23:39.840 The Europeans hated Victoria Nuland.
00:23:44.600 They said, this is a quote,
00:23:46.160 She doesn't engage like most diplomats. 0.98
00:23:48.520 She comes off rather ideological.
00:23:51.660 She doesn't engage and she's ideological?
00:23:54.440 Wow, that doesn't sound diplomatic.
00:23:56.180 It sounds, honestly, like what we have now in power in the United States.
00:24:01.240 Russia accused her of tampering in the war.
00:24:07.560 She used to work for Bill Clinton. 0.99
00:24:10.380 She was the deputy director for foreign Soviet Union affairs.
00:24:17.180 She is, I mean, I'm not saying that revolution follows her and war follows her, you know, wherever she goes, but I'm not saying that either.
00:24:25.900 She was under Dick Cheney when, you know, when he was picking fights with the Soviet Union.
00:24:40.560 2013, she went back to her beat in Eastern Europe just in time for the Ukrainian color revolution.
00:24:47.700 And she has been handing out the dollars over there, and she was involved to some degree, I don't know how much yet, with the election in Brazil.
00:25:04.500 Okay.
00:25:07.920 So what does all of this mean?
00:25:10.420 I don't know, but I will tell you that...
00:25:17.700 This election, as I have said in the past, is so important to the left.
00:25:25.180 It is the WEF.
00:25:28.100 They know that they are at the border.
00:25:31.320 They know that if they don't win these elections, all these important elections,
00:25:36.340 if this thing turns around on them, they lose everything that they have done.
00:25:41.920 This is make or break the same for them as it is for those who like freedom.
00:25:47.700 Now, Elon Musk is coming after this judge.
00:25:54.920 In 2022, Bolsonaro accused of hatching a plan to overturn his election defeat.
00:26:04.280 And one of the guys that Bolsonaro said he was going to arrest was this judge.
00:26:11.760 Weeks later, Bolsonaro supporters stormed the country's capital, flooding Congress, presidential palace, blah, blah, blah.
00:26:18.780 We remember that senior military commanders published last month, implicated Bolsonaro.
00:26:24.900 One of the leading figures on this ongoing conflict has been this judge, Alexander de Morales.
00:26:31.740 He's the president of the Superior Electoral Court and a Supreme Court justice.
00:26:37.120 He sought to clamp down on the claims spread online by supporters of Bolsonaro that the election was unjustly stolen from him.
00:26:45.080 You know, I don't know how you get away with this.
00:26:48.160 I don't know how you have a free country if one party can say every election since 2000 has been stolen.
00:26:57.280 And the other party can't say it ever.
00:27:01.380 I don't you don't have a you don't have freedom.
00:27:04.060 No, not to mention that while they are attacking one party for saying it, the Republicans, Democrats are also saying that this one is probably going to get stolen in the future.
00:27:15.300 Like they're they're preemptively saying it's going to be stolen by Donald Trump.
00:27:19.400 Yep.
00:27:20.460 Yep.
00:27:21.960 So Elon Musk is calling this guy, you know, the Darth Vader of Brazil kind of looks like Darth Vader, quite honestly.
00:27:30.240 Um, but he will not block certain accounts on X.
00:27:35.280 I don't know if I don't know how you block that.
00:27:38.380 I mean, Elon Musk has got to be able to get away.
00:27:40.500 I guess I guess if you just had a VPN, you could still get X and you could still see it.
00:27:46.140 But the judge now is is blocking, uh, everything that Elon Musk is going to do.
00:27:51.240 And they're investigating Elon Musk, you know, calling, uh, calling for his arrest as well.
00:27:56.780 Now the world's upside down.
00:28:00.240 Uh, yeah, yeah, that's a good summary of it.
00:28:03.200 And, uh, you know, I, I think like Elon Musk, you can be critical of him on a lot of things, but he's pretty, pretty good on this stuff.
00:28:09.980 He, he, you know, the F you money thing is somewhat real here.
00:28:14.260 He's like, I, he really does believe this stuff.
00:28:16.500 He doesn't care bullies.
00:28:17.720 That's the thing.
00:28:18.560 He doesn't like bullies.
00:28:20.180 And I think that's what Americans like about him is that he goes his own way.
00:28:25.640 Um, you know, and if somebody doesn't like it, go pound sand and anybody who's going to bully him.
00:28:33.160 I mean, every time there's two people I know hate bullies, Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
00:28:39.580 And you could say, well, Donald Trump, he's a bully.
00:28:42.860 Well, you can say the same thing about Elon Musk.
00:28:44.540 Honestly, a lot of people do.
00:28:46.260 I know.
00:28:47.120 However, they both don't like being told what to do and they don't, and they will never bow the knee to somebody who tries to force them.
00:28:57.560 Never.
00:28:57.720 No, they don't care about that.
00:28:59.320 And that used to be American. 0.87
00:29:02.220 That used to be the thing that we loved about people that you just not, they're not going to bend the knee.
00:29:08.840 Who are you to tell me what to do?
00:29:12.460 So Elon Musk is in the, this for a long fight.
00:29:15.900 I don't know, honestly, how I feel about Elon Musk.
00:29:19.000 I think he is fantastic and has given the Republic more time to survive and, and possibly even win.
00:29:27.960 He is standing up for freedom of speech, which I absolutely love.
00:29:32.980 But is he in the end, uh, a good guy?
00:29:36.920 I don't know.
00:29:38.020 Yeah.
00:29:38.560 I think we're a long way away from his end.
00:29:40.480 There's things I like and things I don't, obviously.
00:29:42.800 I mean, the global warming stuff, you know, Tesla was built in a large place with a lot of money from the government.
00:29:48.460 Yep.
00:29:49.000 You know, I don't like any of that stuff.
00:29:51.180 There's plenty that I, that I'm questioning on him, but I think overall he's a pretty positive influence.
00:29:57.040 I think he, the things he's done and are around the corner with things like Neuralink.
00:30:02.540 I mean, who knows where that goes of really, I think overall a really positive influence on the world, but has his flaws.
00:30:09.720 And I, and he's not perfect.
00:30:11.780 He's not like, you know, you build up these things and they get into movies and you tell these like wonderful biographies of a person and everything's positive.
00:30:18.740 And they seem like they're, they make statues.
00:30:20.620 And you think of this person as a statue, just like we talk about with all the figures in DC, they all had flaws.
00:30:27.460 They all did things that were wrong.
00:30:28.960 He falls into that category.
00:30:30.700 He's, he, I mean, I don't think working for him would be a delight.
00:30:33.680 I, you know, he treats his workers in ways that I, I would not want to be, I would not want to be treated.
00:30:39.920 And I work for Glenn Beck.
00:30:41.280 I mean, can you imagine, you can imagine my perspective.
00:30:44.640 Yeah.
00:30:44.880 I mean, like, you'd think that's the worst possible experience, but.
00:30:48.380 I know.
00:30:48.760 Shut up. 0.95
00:30:49.880 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:30:52.520 Uh, we are honored to have, uh, one of the, uh, leading cosmologists on, uh, and, uh, uh, and, and he doesn't usually come on radio, but, uh, Flip Jehibowitz is with us now to tell us what we can expect from, uh, from the solar eclipse flip.
00:31:16.840 Glenn, thanks so much for having me on the program.
00:31:18.420 Sure.
00:31:18.820 Sure.
00:31:19.060 Uh, can you, can you go, can you go into some of your credentials and, uh, where you work?
00:31:25.520 Uh, I'd rather keep some of that.
00:31:27.840 You keep some of it.
00:31:28.840 Sure.
00:31:29.200 Sure.
00:31:29.300 Because of the, of course, if you're going on with the solar eclipse, there's a, there's a, there's an issue of privacy that I would like to keep at the forefront.
00:31:39.280 Uh, your, your privacy.
00:31:41.100 Yes.
00:31:41.380 Your privacy.
00:31:42.240 Are you, are you concerned that maybe people's privacy?
00:31:44.580 That's not, personally why I asked you to call me an obviously fake name for a scientist.
00:31:49.720 That's why, that's why I requested you to call me Flip Jehibowitz.
00:31:54.600 And we were trying to.
00:31:56.060 Okay.
00:31:56.600 All right.
00:31:57.000 I thought that was your name.
00:31:58.180 I didn't know.
00:31:58.680 No, no, that's not my name.
00:31:59.920 What is your name?
00:32:00.740 My name is serious.
00:32:01.540 I'm not telling you.
00:32:02.580 Okay.
00:32:02.820 All right.
00:32:03.020 Because of the issue of privacy.
00:32:03.900 Could we please, could you stop beating around the bush?
00:32:06.100 I just want to know about the eclipse.
00:32:08.720 Yeah.
00:32:08.960 So a lot of people want to talk about that today.
00:32:11.640 It's, it's an understandable situation when the moon orbits the earth and moves between
00:32:16.860 the sun and the earth.
00:32:18.560 It obscures the light from the sun, partially or wholly, depending on our vantage point on
00:32:24.960 the earth's surface.
00:32:26.000 This alignment is a, uh, it's a precise occurrence.
00:32:29.300 Did you write this down?
00:32:30.120 Cause it sounds like you're just reading it, like maybe off, like something offline, like
00:32:34.600 Google.
00:32:35.560 Well, I'm trying to give people the factual information.
00:32:39.240 I've heard some of your, your, your ramblings this morning.
00:32:43.960 Um, and I, I don't think that's helpful on a day like today.
00:32:47.060 All right.
00:32:47.320 Well, we want to get our information correct.
00:32:48.820 So go ahead.
00:32:49.380 The alignment of, of all of these celestial, um, items are of course governed by the laws
00:32:57.240 of Newtonian motion.
00:32:58.240 And this, this provides, are you, are you, I've got, I've got, I've got, I just, I really
00:33:03.760 don't need all of this.
00:33:05.100 I just really wanted to know what, what to expect from, from today's, uh, eclipse.
00:33:11.400 Well, how, how, how much time do we have?
00:33:13.000 Cause this can get very scientifically.
00:33:15.020 Well, don't get too scientific, but I mean, give us the, you know, give us a really good,
00:33:18.480 you know, view of what's going to happen.
00:33:20.500 Okay.
00:33:20.880 Uh, well, it's going to get dark.
00:33:27.360 Okay.
00:33:28.200 For like four minutes.
00:33:30.720 Uh huh.
00:33:31.560 Yeah.
00:33:32.160 You know how like during the day, normally it's light.
00:33:35.400 Yes.
00:33:36.000 It's going to get dark for a couple of minutes there.
00:33:38.880 Like really?
00:33:39.700 Like, like midnight dark?
00:33:41.420 No, not, not really.
00:33:42.360 It's going to be like five, six PM.
00:33:45.320 Dark, you know, but like not at five or six PM.
00:33:48.740 That's why people are flying from all over the world.
00:33:51.460 Yeah.
00:33:51.880 To see it.
00:33:52.440 Cause it's like, you know how the thing that you experience every day, like it's dark,
00:33:56.500 that's going to happen for like four minutes at another part of the day.
00:34:00.760 Wow.
00:34:01.400 Yeah.
00:34:02.400 So like, you know, you know, like when you're in a room and you, the lights are on.
00:34:06.620 Yes.
00:34:07.120 And then you turn the lights off.
00:34:08.420 Yes.
00:34:08.800 Kind of like that.
00:34:10.160 But for four minutes.
00:34:11.400 But for four minutes and, and the light, which, well,
00:34:15.020 you know, you ever, you ever have a room with a dimmer?
00:34:17.620 Yes.
00:34:18.140 Yeah.
00:34:18.360 Just pull that down a little bit. 0.51
00:34:19.860 Okay.
00:34:20.240 It's kind of like that.
00:34:21.380 So.
00:34:22.220 But like only in one part of the world and only for four minutes at a time.
00:34:26.180 So could it, I mean, I, I'm not a scientist.
00:34:28.820 So could I compare it to, for instance, this weekend, my, uh, I was reading and my son came
00:34:36.640 and he was, he was standing behind me, but he was blocking the light and I, I could still
00:34:41.780 see the book, but I couldn't read it cause he was blocking the lights.
00:34:44.320 Yeah.
00:34:44.500 It's kind of like that.
00:34:45.600 But if you have a, if you have like a, if you're reading on a computer, it won't matter
00:34:49.540 at all.
00:34:49.920 You just keep reading.
00:34:51.360 But if you're reading a book, like could be kind of like harder to read for a couple
00:34:55.180 minutes, but then you can read again.
00:34:57.540 Okay.
00:34:58.220 Yeah.
00:34:58.760 You know, shadows, you know how like you see shadows on the ground.
00:35:01.560 Yeah.
00:35:01.880 They might look different.
00:35:03.420 Okay.
00:35:03.860 For a couple minutes.
00:35:04.900 Okay.
00:35:05.480 Like they might have a little crescent shape to them.
00:35:07.900 I'm, I'm gathering that this is not a, a, a big deal to you in the science world.
00:35:13.080 Yeah.
00:35:13.480 No, this is, this is a, it's really annoying time for scientists.
00:35:16.740 Like we, we get calls from idiots like you to explain to them the difference between
00:35:20.980 light and dark.
00:35:22.100 Yeah.
00:35:22.480 No, I wasn't a time.
00:35:23.720 We're like, Hey, you know, light got me different than that for a couple of minutes.
00:35:28.920 Okay.
00:35:29.360 And then we have to like, I was just playing it over and over and over again.
00:35:32.960 I get the eclipse, but there's a lot of people that are, you know, a little concerned
00:35:36.640 about it.
00:35:37.120 Hey, uh, don't look at the eclipse.
00:35:40.140 Everybody don't, don't look at it.
00:35:41.840 You got to put your fancy glasses on.
00:35:43.640 That's another thing we have to tell people.
00:35:45.140 Don't, Hey, here's another thing.
00:35:46.400 Don't, uh, put your baby on the roof to face the eclipse.
00:35:49.800 We have to warn people of these things.
00:35:51.680 Don't put your infant on the peak of your roof during the eclipse.
00:35:56.680 Okay.
00:35:57.240 That's something we have to say to people.
00:35:59.240 Okay.
00:35:59.560 So, you know, yeah, that's the, do you look at the last lecture results?
00:36:03.660 Half the country voted for Biden.
00:36:04.980 We have to tell people to keep their infants off the peak of the roof. 1.00
00:36:08.620 That's, that's the country we live in.
00:36:11.000 And don't look directly at the sun.
00:36:12.700 Don't, don't look directly.
00:36:14.620 At least during the eclipse.
00:36:16.760 Yeah.
00:36:17.300 Other times it's fine for you, Glenn, it's fine.
00:36:21.220 You should look all the time.
00:36:22.560 Okay.
00:36:23.060 You should check it out.
00:36:24.080 You never know when you'll see something interesting.
00:36:26.200 Just keep staring.
00:36:27.500 Okay.
00:36:27.860 But for regular people, don't stare, don't stare at the eclipse.
00:36:33.880 Right.
00:36:34.340 Or the sun.
00:36:35.200 Or the sun.
00:36:35.880 Or the sun.
00:36:36.460 Don't, don't stare.
00:36:37.160 Just want to make sure that your baby is safe.
00:36:40.160 And, you know, if you're, don't, just try not to gawk.
00:36:43.420 What happens if you were, let's say, you traveled a great distance to see this, you spent a lot of money staying at a hotel and now it's cloudy.
00:36:52.620 Is there a way to see the eclipse, you know, through the clouds?
00:36:58.620 Wait, is that a real question?
00:37:01.820 Are you asking?
00:37:02.940 How do you see through clouds?
00:37:04.460 Is that a real question?
00:37:05.260 That was just a question that I'm sure a lot of people are asking themselves today that spent a lot of money traveling to places.
00:37:13.320 Oh, yeah, get on your hovercraft and go above them?
00:37:17.500 I don't know.
00:37:18.480 I don't know.
00:37:19.860 Every year.
00:37:20.700 Yeah, I was around for the 2017 one.
00:37:24.340 Yes.
00:37:24.760 And I had to answer these dumb questions.
00:37:26.420 I was around in 1979 as well.
00:37:28.840 1979, I was around.
00:37:29.860 I was telling people, hey, you know, I'm only going to have to do this once.
00:37:33.960 That's what I thought.
00:37:35.080 I'm going to have to tell people to not stare at the sun and put infants on the roof. 0.85
00:37:38.220 Well, I, you know, I was around for the 2017 and it was a little bit cloudy.
00:37:43.060 And, uh, and I watched it on TV.
00:37:47.840 So now can you stare at the sun if it's on TV?
00:37:52.980 Yeah, they're going to put their, you know what, here's something that's going to happen.
00:37:55.080 You know, it was really going to happen.
00:37:56.480 If, if there's, if there's no clouds, a bunch of idiots are going to point their phones at it, thinking that's like a really good idea.
00:38:05.320 And then they're going to have video of dark.
00:38:13.060 Well, what if you turn on the flashlight?
00:38:20.960 If you turn on the flashlight, would you get the surface of the moon to light up a bit?
00:38:28.200 Yeah.
00:38:28.620 I think if you do it, that might happen.
00:38:30.600 Okay.
00:38:30.960 If we all do it together.
00:38:32.400 We all do it together.
00:38:33.300 You'll see a little bit.
00:38:34.360 So what time?
00:38:35.040 So what time should everybody turn their flashlight of their phone off?
00:38:39.660 Uh, right at one 44, one 44.
00:38:42.440 Here's the thing people don't realize, and this is for you specifically, Glenn, make sure that the, the, the light you're going to think, oh, I should point that at the moon.
00:38:50.180 No point it right into your eye.
00:38:53.140 Get it real close to your eye.
00:38:54.980 Really?
00:38:55.520 Yeah.
00:38:56.000 Why?
00:38:56.420 And just keep pushing.
00:38:57.520 Why?
00:38:57.940 And here's the thing.
00:38:58.620 It might, it might hurt, but that's just that it'll go away right after the eclipse.
00:39:02.220 That's the only pain you'll feel during the eclipse.
00:39:04.120 So any sharp objects you have, you can just jam into your eyes.
00:39:07.420 You, Glenn, it should do it.
00:39:09.440 Okay.
00:39:10.140 Okay.
00:39:10.740 All right.
00:39:11.180 Flip Jehibowitz.
00:39:12.320 Uh, thank you again so much for being on the program.
00:39:15.980 Hey, call me in 2044.
00:39:17.440 I'll be here for all your questions.
00:39:19.260 Good.
00:39:19.580 All right.
00:39:19.920 Thank you.
00:39:20.760 Thank you.
00:39:21.400 All right.
00:39:21.720 Boy, he sounded a little, uh, he sounded a little terse, didn't he?
00:39:28.040 It's been a long road for these guys.
00:39:29.800 Really?
00:39:30.140 They've been answering these questions probably a lot.
00:39:32.240 So, well, you know, there's a lot of people out there that aren't as smart as, you know,
00:39:36.080 some of the intellectuals like Flip or, uh, you know, there's a, there was a, there was
00:39:40.600 a, a big meeting of black mayors, the black mayor coalition on crime.
00:39:46.960 Okay.
00:39:47.360 That just wrapped up.
00:39:48.460 And, um, and there were a couple of really, I mean, like Flip, uh, could just see things
00:39:54.420 that others, you know, probably didn't see.
00:39:57.020 Um, and, uh, one of them was the mayor of St. Louis, which of course, you know, has long
00:40:02.940 held the record of one of the cities with the highest violent crime rates.
00:40:07.700 Uh, and then the, um, the mayor of Memphis who also lives in a very dangerous, uh, city.
00:40:15.320 And while they were meeting on this coalition of crime, uh, the, uh, St. Louis mayor, uh,
00:40:24.180 suggested that in, instead of, you know, arresting a bunch of people that quote, the city should
00:40:32.820 hold business owners accountable for crimes committed on their present, uh, premises and
00:40:38.920 quote, wait, what they should do what now?
00:40:42.240 So if there's crime, they hold the business where the crime occurred.
00:40:49.340 So in other words, somebody breaks into your house, you should be held responsible for the
00:40:54.440 crime that was happening at your house.
00:40:56.520 Right.
00:40:57.060 Because you, it's yours.
00:40:59.360 It's your property.
00:41:00.300 Exactly right.
00:41:00.820 That's where the crime is occurring.
00:41:01.920 Exactly right.
00:41:02.620 They said, we have a lot of violence around convenience stores and gas stations.
00:41:06.680 How can we hold these business owners accountable and bring down crime?
00:41:12.720 Because, because I mean, you know, convenience stores, they're like a magnet for crime, you
00:41:18.420 know, you don't with all that convenience.
00:41:21.580 Yeah.
00:41:22.180 What if they made it more difficult for patrons?
00:41:26.120 An inconvenient type of store.
00:41:28.880 Well, I mean, here's one of the things I would do on, and I mean this sincerely in, uh,
00:41:33.760 in, uh, either Memphis or St. Louis, uh, if I owned the convenience store there, I'd say,
00:41:39.660 you know what?
00:41:40.060 You're right.
00:41:40.720 You're right.
00:41:41.360 Uh, what I do is causing crime, uh, and that is providing a good or service to the community.
00:41:48.360 So I'm going to fight crime by moving to another city.
00:41:53.340 And that's what I would.
00:41:55.020 But then of course, uh, you are creating food deserts.
00:41:58.700 And then I have to be held responsible for that.
00:42:02.320 Yeah.
00:42:02.460 Right.
00:42:02.880 But the good news shouldn't be held responsible to be clear.
00:42:05.560 The mayors, they have nothing to do with this.
00:42:08.580 The mayors should be completely exonerated from any responsibility that they might.
00:42:13.580 Some people, you know, there are racists out there who will say that mayors, uh, in
00:42:17.760 these cities should be held responsible for their performance as the mayor of a city.
00:42:23.880 And that's wrong.
00:42:25.000 It is.
00:42:25.420 That's racist.
00:42:26.240 It is wrong.
00:42:26.580 Now, good news.
00:42:27.280 Those people are watching the solar eclipse today without, uh, without glasses and they
00:42:32.420 won't be able to see a darn thing.
00:42:34.260 So it's a way to make crime, uh, go away at least for one sense.
00:42:39.660 Now we just have to work on the other five senses.
00:42:41.680 Na, na, na, na.
