Transcript
00:00:00.000
okay really all we have to say here is you have to meet niblick niblick is the the president
00:00:08.020

00:00:24.320
at the president's mental health and what this means for the country oh i was
00:00:29.920
hiking in the himalayas with mao and niblick was showing us the ropes so to speak
00:00:38.320
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:00:49.740
all right so could we just i just i know this came out on friday but we haven't had a chance
00:00:59.580
to chat about it could you play that again please from the president friday america is a nation that
00:01:06.480
can be defined in a single word a single word i was in the foot him uh foot foot excuse me the
00:01:12.480
foothills of the himalayas xi jinping traveling with them and that's from travel 17 000 miles
00:01:19.260
when i was vice president i don't know that for a fact
00:01:21.520
i mean do i need to say anything i mean this should be very very clear it's a long word a lot
00:01:32.740
of hyphens which which word oh that word that describes america yeah yeah that single hmm um i
00:01:41.720
don't know what that single word has to do with the himalayas um you know i i wish we would have
00:01:49.040
heard a little bit more about his sherpa guide uh but uh nothing says america more than the
00:01:55.360
himalayas right that's what i was yeah and maybe he got to it later maybe he's like he did get to a
00:02:00.840
sherpa guide niblick and uh there's one word that describes america and that is niblick uh anyway
00:02:12.420
that would be more coherent than we got it would it would he he helped me shimmy down ropes uh anyway
00:02:21.220
um uh i don't know what the himalayas has to do with it i don't know what the 17 000 miles has to
00:02:28.140
do with it um but the other really disturbing thing besides not telling us the word uh and seemingly not
00:02:36.120
being able to find the word uh uh uh foot uh uh foothills that's disturbing um the other is the the last
00:02:50.640
sentence there i i don't i i don't know that for a fact you you don't know what for a fact that you
00:03:01.400
toured the foothills or you traveled 17 000 miles and when has not knowing the facts ever stopped you
00:03:08.680
what the hell is that sincerely what is that you know he's always off to you know my mother was
00:03:16.520
amelia erhart no no she wasn't and now he gets down to 17 000 miles but i don't know that for a fact
00:03:25.360
what there's just it strikes me that there are several conversations going on in his head that
00:03:33.480
he i think he's following but yes yes like aren't audible to others so when he said i don't know that
00:03:41.420
for a fact i honestly think that was something he was thinking while he was thinking about niblick
00:03:48.220
right you know what i mean right like i don't know that for a fact and it just came out is it possible
00:03:54.620
the sherpas talking to him in his mind could be and he's responding to a very legitimate like that
00:04:00.300
could be a really good answer to what niblick said we just don't know what it is what niblick was like
00:04:04.840
do you know that for a fact i don't know that for a fact that might have been that might have been it
00:04:09.620
like to him he can't understand why everyone's criticizing right him all the time because he's
00:04:17.900
having a full conversation that makes perfect sense yeah niblick is like are you wearing your
00:04:23.160
mountain climbing shoes i don't know that for a fact right i don't know to him it makes perfect
00:04:28.780
sense as he's saying i've got one word to describe america he's niblick is saying to him have you ever
00:04:35.180
been to the himalayas yes no it makes sense right right like someone interrupted him with a side
00:04:42.000
conversation and he was just trying to be polite i do believe however we should have someone
00:04:50.140
qualified uh qualified to ask the president if he is talking to niblick because if he is talking to
00:05:00.520
niblick i don't know if niblick likes buttons you know i don't know i haven't met niblick okay i don't i
00:05:10.260
don't know niblick he might know him very well but i don't i didn't vote for niblick and if niblick is
00:05:17.920
influencing our president we should all know it don't you think we should know that yes that is
00:05:24.100
something i mean look i don't want to be a hater but if the president does have an invisible
00:05:29.940
sherpa we should know it i'm pretty sure that's in the constitution if it's not our founders did not
00:05:37.820
foresee right what was going to happen we can just you know 25th amendment part b yeah you know
00:05:45.300
what i mean yeah no niblicks right no invisible sherpas right the sherpas if a president is going
00:05:51.700
to have a sherpa it should be visible to the people yeah that's a very i think so too yeah you know and
00:05:56.580
it might be weird if you're you know you're walking around with a with a sherpa guide but that would
00:06:02.740
have been weird would not be weirder than what we just heard i feel like the constitution handles
00:06:09.080
the visible sherpa fairly well right we can understand that now if i remember right uh they
00:06:15.260
were saying about uh donald trump when he used two hands to drink water he's out of control he doesn't
00:06:22.740
know what he's doing 25th amendment everybody in the cabinet is freaking out yeah well i think that this
00:06:30.940
president thinks niblick is in the cabinet and i mean the kitchen cabinet we probably should check
00:06:39.460
it could be there i wouldn't would you be stunned if there was a sherpa living in one of his cabinets
00:06:45.680
no i wouldn't be stunned by it would you on then i mean this sincerely would you be stunned if he's in
00:06:51.140
the middle of a speech and he just looks down to somebody about four feet tall that isn't there and
00:06:56.340
says stop it niblick i'm talking would you be surprised no that's a problem oh my god it's a
00:07:05.160
problem i wouldn't be surprised at all no you wouldn't be i mean i feel like we come on the
00:07:09.440
next day and there'd be like joy reed would be like if you criticize niblick you're you're anti-asian
00:07:18.380
the white privilege of not having an invisible sherpa
00:07:24.380
that's really what would happen oh my gosh you know it would yeah you know it would that's a
00:07:32.820
that's incredible and you say it and i i really could picture something like that happening like
00:07:38.220
him just really invent it like it would not be stunning at this point for him to blurt out something
00:07:46.940
niblick the invisible sherpa and it's possible i think if he did it you'd have oh come on i mean
00:07:56.920
he just it was a joke oh come on hey come on he was he got a little confused they would justify it
00:08:04.340
they would legitimately justify it as if it was no big deal that the leader of the free world had an
00:08:10.740
invisible sherpa living in his cabinet i think we should get a hold of niblick at some point today
00:08:15.780
i think we should call niblick i mean if we can i don't know you know he's talking to biden i don't
00:08:21.460
see why he wouldn't pick up the phone niblick why wouldn't we why wouldn't we be able to do that
00:08:26.040
uh holy cow no siri and now can i have serious really seriously when are we gonna just say okay
00:08:35.520
when are democrats going to join the rest of the world when when is someone overseas gonna go come
00:08:42.840
on america well really they they're probably already doing it i would assume people like
00:08:47.380
anthony blinken are getting calls being like what is going on over there dude like what is happening
00:08:51.680
with you what what is going on and blink it's like oh no no he's oh oh i see what you're saying no
00:08:58.520
he's fine and you are doing anti-asian i do think that's probably going on already but i can i can
00:09:05.240
give you a quick preview of this decision uh it's not happening until 2022 uh the election until that's
00:09:11.840
over he they will prop him up and fill him with air and inflate him around like a balloon and walk
00:09:18.580
him around like a you know weekend with bernie's situation no matter what state he is in i'm not sure
00:09:25.240
that's true have you seen the latest you've seen the latest from the new york post today on
00:09:30.420
on uh hunter biden but again it's they have to get they lose the senate they lose the senate if they
00:09:40.260
if they move him out of there right now they're gonna lose the senate anyway i think i know but why
00:09:46.620
lose it a day earlier than you have to they're going to lose it anyway so they're gonna maximize
00:09:50.880
this time frame i mean if there's you i mean there's a moment where they're really going to
00:09:55.180
do this it's right it's early 2023 that is the because then you have enough of an on-ramp to give
00:10:00.900
kamala i guess a shot to to turn this into something what are you going to do you can't replace her
00:10:05.720
with anybody you put if if she became the vice president who would you put as her vice president
00:10:11.740
she can't appoint anybody seriously i mean if she appoints somebody with half a brain cell still
00:10:18.600
working you know she could appoint cheech and chong and i would still say to her hey don't don't walk
00:10:26.240
by any open windows you know what i'm saying you'd know who's always behind you by an open window
00:10:31.640
i mean who can she appoint seriously because she can't be president of the united states
00:10:40.900
why is because she's a because she has south asian heritage and she doesn't have a sherpa
00:10:47.480
ah i want to know who her you know that's what we should ask who is biden's sherpa
00:10:53.780
which sherpa is actually running the white house
00:10:58.020
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:11:04.460
michael schellenberger how are you sir hey great to be with you glenn
00:11:17.140
thank you um so michael um running for the governor uh of california you've been there before you did
00:11:26.560
this what four years ago maybe i did we we ran in 2018 didn't really take off then i know so much
00:11:34.900
more now and i'm absolutely you know heartbroken by the humanitarian disaster that we call homelessness
00:11:40.540
our schools are failing we're in the worst energy crisis that was created by bad policy
00:11:47.300
so i'm running again we've got a big movement behind us i think we've got a good chance this time
00:11:52.280
i i really hope so i mean michael i'm sure we don't agree on an awful lot of things but at least
00:11:58.840
you're willing to look at facts and figures and see if that makes sense nobody is seemingly willing
00:12:07.260
to do that anymore for instance california just passed a a law that is going to make the supply chain
00:12:15.740
problem even worse uh they are they're passing regulation on truck and buses and you've got all
00:12:25.040
of these trucking companies that are being told now by the state i think you have what until next year
00:12:30.880
to replace your truck otherwise if you don't buy a new one with all this stuff on it uh you can't use
00:12:38.620
it in california well who can afford a 300 000 semi truck at the drop of a hat let alone a whole bunch
00:12:46.880
of them if you have a fleet that's right i mean the problem in california is that the governor is
00:12:53.620
controlled by a small group of people who benefit from these anti-human pro-scarcity policies the truth
00:13:02.800
is california is rich in land housing energy water but the governor's people governor gavin newsom they
00:13:12.380
try they keep things scarce in order to make money off of ordinary people so when i'm governor we're
00:13:19.940
going to make energy abundant we should have abundant energy transportation should be cheap housing should
00:13:25.160
be cheap i know how to do that we can do that but it's it's it's it's a it's a pro-human
00:13:31.280
environmentalism not an anti-human environmentalism so how are you going to get around all of these
00:13:37.400
people that are making so much money uh going the other direction i mean you know you've got esg you're
00:13:44.480
facing soon uh how are you going to get and turn the tide on this i mean the exciting thing is that the
00:13:51.460
vast majority of people will benefit from more abundant cheaper energy housing water i mean i'll give
00:13:58.620
you an example we've just been a fight between farmers environmentalists and residents for 50
00:14:04.820
years over water but we should have abundant water we've actually had a we agreed to spend billions of
00:14:11.500
dollars to store more water the governor has blocked those projects on behalf of his you know a very well
00:14:20.340
funded group of people i'm going to build those projects i already have a mandate to do so we can also
00:14:25.300
recycle water and we can desalinate water the israelis export fresh drinking water because of
00:14:33.600
their desalination program even they live in such an arid environment california should be doing the
00:14:38.520
same we should be a world leader in desalination the key is abundant energy i'm going to make energy
00:14:44.860
abundant again in california and that's the key to ending this insane war over water so when you say
00:14:52.060
you have a plan for energy i know you're an environmentalist um but you are not you're not
00:14:59.320
crazy when i hear washington state say they're taking all gasoline engines off the road or at least to be
00:15:07.680
sold by 2030 that you can't plug that many cars into the power grid without having brownouts so what are
00:15:19.560
you going to do about energy the difference between the kind of environmentalist i am i'm a pro-human
00:15:26.640
pro-abundance environmentalists the people in power the people who created the worst energy crisis in 50
00:15:35.120
years we're in the midst of the worst energy crisis globally in 50 years it was actually going on before
00:15:41.460
putin invaded ukraine he was only able to invade ukraine because europe became dependent on russia
00:15:48.580
for imported energy i've been going to europe for the last five years six years warning them they
00:15:54.760
needed to produce more of their energy they need to keep their nuclear plants operating they needed to
00:16:00.420
rely more on american-made natural gas instead they became dependent on putin so they were helpless to
00:16:06.440
deter an invasion california is now as helpless as europe is on and is on russia we import 30 of our
00:16:16.240
electricity it's a it's ridiculous abundant natural gas is the key to environmental quality and energy
00:16:23.620
security and yet anti-human environmentalists are blocking natural gas production and trying to shut down
00:16:29.860
our nuclear plant i i will i i'll tell you if uh if some of these states around you wanted to cut california off
00:16:37.760
they could cripple you just like russia uh is crippling ukraine and europe they could cut you off because
00:16:45.200
you're not you're not willing to in california you're not willing to have a coal fire plant or anything else
00:16:51.000
so you ship all that energy in it's it's like saying you know we're the united states we don't torture
00:16:57.580
we're just going to ghost plane people to egypt that's immoral that's right well if you if you go
00:17:06.100
to people want to they can find out at shellenberger for governor.com i describe how we're going to make
00:17:11.440
energy abundant and secure in california governor gavin newsom has made us dangerously vulnerable
00:17:19.700
to blackouts he says he cares about the environment glenn he lifted the air pollution regulations
00:17:27.060
against burning diesel because we were that close to having widespread blackouts because of his
00:17:33.920
policies restricting energy consumption on behalf of a tiny cabal of ruling class political elites
00:17:41.660
i'm going to stand up to them i'm organizing a movement of ordinary folks look most industries here
00:17:49.040
in california high tech agriculture entertainment these are industries that depend on abundant energy
00:17:56.420
they don't want to have their energy their their life the life the life blood that runs through the
00:18:03.060
entire economy strangled by a tiny group of billionaires making money on the backs of ordinary
00:18:10.340
people and that's how we're going to get it done what do you think of the teachers unions and the you know
00:18:15.400
the restrictions her masks and the teaching of you know um transgenderism you know in first grade
00:18:23.020
kindergarten what do you think of those things i mean look you know my parents were public school
00:18:29.320
teachers my mom was a union rep i you know i i think great i benefited from great teachers from
00:18:35.940
personalized education but nobody hates a bad teacher more than a good teacher my parents would be the first
00:18:42.520
to tell you that the teachers union went way too far in california my daughter 16 they kept these kids
00:18:49.580
home for a ridiculous amount of time under gavin newsom california schools became for the adults who run
00:18:57.520
them rather than for the students who need them we're going to build a consensus around much greater parental
00:19:05.280
choice and control over their children's education kids need to get the right education for
00:19:12.500
them and the teachers they've just some of them have just gone bonkers i think it's a minority of
00:19:17.920
them by the way that are pushing a doctrinaire ideological very far radical left agenda as you
00:19:25.800
mentioned my my views are pretty moderately liberal but the things that they're doing glenn one-third of
00:19:32.880
our public school students are not proficient in math half are not proficient in reading 10 percent of
00:19:40.680
african-american students are not proficient in or 10 of african-american students are proficient in
00:19:46.200
math 15 of latina students these are civilization destroying numbers you should not be teaching woke
00:19:54.540
radical left doctrinaire frankly pseudoscience when your kids can't even pass the math and reading tests
00:20:04.860
we're going to make a big change there the key is greater parental choice and control of their
00:20:10.340
kids education so kids can get the education that's right for them how much do you know about the great
00:20:14.520
reset and esg standards i mean if anybody googles me online they'll know that i actually once recorded
00:20:22.740
an interview for the world economic forum uh you know you know that i came from the the progressive
00:20:29.640
left i know and i've written two books now apocalypse never in san francisco that really go through the
00:20:36.100
evidence what should we what's true what's not true climate change is real it's not the end of the
00:20:42.280
world we've made huge progress the united states reduced its carbon emissions more than any other
00:20:46.960
country in the world between 2005 and 2020 thanks to abundant natural gas thanks to nuclear power
00:20:55.600
europe and the united states have reduced our emissions europe really did since the since the
00:21:00.500
mid-70s the world economic forum is controlled by big bankers by the same pro-scarcity billionaires
00:21:08.400
it's a grift it's a scam they want to keep energy and resources including housing they want everybody to be
00:21:16.080
a renter as you know they don't want people to own their own homes it's a scam it's a scam for them to
00:21:22.840
exert greater control over people's lives prosperity is the key prosperity and abundance are the keys
00:21:29.120
to human freedom to human potential to human well-being it's a very dangerous moment i mean we
00:21:36.960
look at look at they they created a world energy crisis they're trying to create worsening energy
00:21:43.240
scarcity in california california is where the change is going to start in my view we're gaining
00:21:49.820
momentum it's an open primary i'm a no party preference candidate i draw support in equal share
00:21:56.700
it's quite remarkable from republicans democrats independents because my vision is common sense
00:22:02.200
it's to enforce the laws require people to stay in shelter you can't allow open air drug scenes open
00:22:10.900
air drug markets we're going to shut them down this guy is more greater choice michael you are you sound
00:22:15.680
more conservative than mitt romney i mean i would have a much easier time i wouldn't even think twice
00:22:22.020
if it was between you and mitt romney um are you how is this going to work with californians who are
00:22:30.320
deep progressives do you do you feel there is enough of a momentum that you can get republicans uh that
00:22:40.020
you know want change on to your side and still be able to get democrats you know here's the thing
00:22:49.080
all the progressives almost all the liberals and progressives i speak to they want to feel safe
00:22:55.160
they don't feel safe right now the people i talk to they say i'm a very liberal person but
00:23:00.380
i don't feel safe yeah people are terrified as they should be of skyrocketing crime in california
00:23:09.120
the lawlessness the anti-police protest means that there's 500 fewer police that they need
00:23:15.160
in los angeles 500 fewer police in san francisco my progressive neighbors i live in the berkeley hills
00:23:21.240
i live in one of the most progressive cities they want law and order and there's other things too that
00:23:26.320
i'm going to do that that don't easily categorize we need a statewide psychiatric and addiction care
00:23:33.400
conservatives that i talk to understand that people with schizophrenia are now they're shopping
00:23:39.500
for the market for health insurance people with psych people with schizophrenia they're going to
00:23:45.020
they're mentally often are mentally disabled they're going to need lifelong care that's a liberal view i
00:23:50.140
hold i still hold i believe that we must shelter all of our fellow humans it would be immoral to not
00:23:57.700
shelter them that doesn't mean that they deserve their own house or their own subsidized apartment
00:24:03.020
in venice beach or san francisco we can't afford that and that's not fair but universal shelter
00:24:09.740
is fair housing should be earned if we're going to be helping folks they need to they need to
00:24:16.980
reciprocate by working hard you know we we are this governor has done such a terrible job managing our
00:24:23.840

00:26:44.580
out of stock by mid-march um date assembly which tracks baby formula stock at 11 000 retailers they
00:26:54.240
say this is a shocking number you don't see it now for other categories we've been tracking it over time
00:27:00.400
it's going up dramatically we see this category is being affected by economic conditions more
00:27:05.980
dramatically than others the second largest pharmacy walgreens greens with over 9 000 locations
00:27:13.480
announced it's now rationing baby formula guys we haven't even started yet rationing baby formula
00:27:22.320
and they say it is because there was a recall in january uh but also uh vital ingredients we can't get
00:27:30.500
packaging apparently has problems the freight costs are through the roof and labor shortages
00:27:37.380
it's incredible a friend of mine had a a baby boy preemie i think 24 or 25 weeks early enough that it
00:27:44.860
was like almost impossible yeah uh you know 20 years ago wouldn't have been possible right and touch and
00:27:51.220
go for a while lived at the hospital for six months i think finally came home and they have to feed him
00:27:58.580
this very specific type of formula that's easy for him to digest i guess and they had they were they had
00:28:04.680
months of this formula at their house and then that's this recall happened they had to throw it all
00:28:10.540
out oh my gosh and now they spent half their time driving around texas looking to different walgreens
00:28:17.180

00:28:22.840

00:29:50.080
we're almost approaching seven months now aren't we oh no we're over seven glenn oh we're over
00:29:55.400
approaching eight months and we should point out it's eight months since i officially placed the
00:30:00.400
order so i went through a very lengthy process of you know right debating it and going back and forth
00:30:06.200
and finally placed the order that was over seven months ago and because your car is like 10 years
00:30:12.060
old or something and it's yeah it's it was a it's a 2000 yeah we brought it in 2011 i think 11 so i
00:30:17.000
mean it's almost you know it's coming up on 11 years you don't flip cars all the time no and i like
00:30:21.540
the car that i had so i just kept it and now we're at 120 000 miles on it now i know it could
00:30:25.820
ride a little bit longer but you know i am i am thinking about every time i get in the car i'm like
00:30:29.580
this is like the transmission is going to lock up today isn't it yeah you know something's going to
00:30:33.260
happen where i get no value out of the car at the end or i'm going to have to spend you're really ahead
00:30:38.600
of the game really in some ways you know almost eight months ago yeah i wish i kind of went
00:30:44.640
earlier because maybe i would have had the the car delivered already but so i then decided you
00:30:51.400
know what i'm going to go with an interim car i'm going to get a new car that's not exactly what i
00:30:55.220
want um that's not the one i ordered because i had i want to get something yeah cases in case this
00:31:02.420
thing dies yeah and um but you know it's running great so i mean it should last for a long a long time
00:31:08.140
anyway hopefully but the uh right as i'm ordering that one which is supposed to come in today wow
00:31:14.920
by the way today yeah we'll see a couple weeks uh it was a couple weeks ago i did it and then
00:31:19.980
right as i like three or four days ago i got an email from the first dealership and said
00:31:24.100
your order was just pulled for production so i said what does that mean and she said we should
00:31:30.640
have a target production date within 30 days oh my gosh so that doesn't mean i get the car within 30
00:31:41.140
days it means we should have a target what a target production date i don't i mean this is the life
00:31:48.800
we're all going to be living now this is the life we're all going to be living because i keep thinking
00:31:52.660
about how bad my my situation is and it's bad you know i mean from the perspective of like this is
00:31:59.300
america yeah right like i order a freaking car it's not bad i mean we're not playing a violin for
00:32:03.360
you but it's they're supposed to be yeah knocking at my door every hour of the day to make me buy a
00:32:09.940
car that's remember the car salesman thing where they're like oh they're harassing now they're like
00:32:14.380

00:33:46.440
the end of first quarter now we're at the end of second quarter i think they sold this thing

00:34:24.920
wood stove and it says right on the front ohio you know made in ohio 1891 and i have often thought
00:34:33.560
i mean the town that that cabin is in is still only 500 people so i can't imagine how few people there
00:34:42.720
were living in that area when that came and arrived in the wells fargo wagon in 1891 and i thought
00:34:51.520
imagine what a big deal this was yeah back then i bet i bet neighbors came from miles around to see
00:34:58.840
the new stove yeah if you would have just gotten a new car i wouldn't i would have been like oh and
00:35:05.860
i would have seen it in the parking lot walked around it and you would have talked to me about it
00:35:08.900
blah blah blah now i want to drive it now i want to i i've got to see this car it's like the wells
00:35:14.820
fargo wagon we're going back in a time we're like wow you got a new spoon wow see this is the best
