00:00:00.000
Still, it's a beautiful day for a ball game here on a Thursday at the Boomba.
00:00:06.840
And you know that because we do weather and traffic and time on the twos and the eights and the fours every three minutes.
00:00:17.360
So what would you say the greatest play was from this hot dog Hall of Famer, Glenn Beck?
00:00:24.820
Well, I don't think he had any good moments, Glenn.
00:00:31.980
We're just going to get right to the podcast brought to you by Jace Medical.
00:00:37.100
The American Society of Healthcare Pharmacists, the group that tracks the production of medications around the world,
00:00:42.060
has declared a worldwide shortage of antibiotics, specifically amoxicillin.
00:00:47.480
Well, it's a good thing that's, you know, not used for all kinds of different infections.
00:00:58.100
Jace Medical has come up with something they call the Jace case.
00:01:06.680
It's a pack of five different courses of antibiotics that you can use to treat a long list of bacterial illnesses,
00:01:13.660
UTIs, respiratory infections, sinusitis, skin infections, a whole lot more.
00:01:20.360
It's also, for instance, you know, we go up to our ranch.
00:01:33.060
We'd be dead before we got to the hospital, especially if we were the ones driving.
00:01:40.860
If you have something when you're on vacation or you're out hiking or whatever it is, you'll be able to have these antibiotics with you.
00:01:48.660
So, it's for emergencies and it's also for shortages.
00:01:59.040
Use the offer code BEC10 at checkout and you'll save $10 off your order.
00:02:12.160
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:30.700
Don't kid yourself if we send tanks and airplanes.
00:02:45.100
Are you for the $60 billion that we already sent over to Ukraine?
00:03:03.660
There's no debate on the floor of the House and the Senate.
00:03:24.100
Ten different politicians had to resign because they've been funneling our money off?
00:03:32.260
They're buying houses and vacations and sports cars.
00:03:43.600
People who didn't vote for Joe Biden, they know it.
00:03:54.100
By the way, after Ukraine scored the U.S. tanks, now Zelensky, yesterday, said, great, we just need now some modern fighting jets from America, and we'd like missile systems.
00:04:17.300
First of all, who the hell do you think you are?
00:04:34.080
Already, the New York Times is washing their hands for Joe Biden.
00:04:43.680
Read the story in the New York Times that is talking about the tanks.
00:04:50.980
Look, I wash my hands of this whole crucifixion thing.
00:04:55.760
I see no wrong in this, man, but I will do what you want me to do.
00:05:00.340
That's the way they are now presenting our tank deliveries.
00:05:07.360
Joe Biden didn't want to do it, but Germany really forced him.
00:05:14.160
Our administration really wanted tanks there, but they wanted Germany to do it.
00:05:20.140
And Germany, after we were pressuring them, said, we're not doing that by ourself.
00:05:25.860
You send your tanks and we'll send our tanks, but we're not sending them by ourselves.
00:05:42.820
Let me take you back to a place in history so you understand, if you are younger, you're not my age,
00:05:51.340
you may not understand how things used to work and how they're supposed to work when you live in a democratic republic.
00:06:06.100
Franklin Roosevelt is wheeled into the Capitol and then with braces on his legs, he struggles because he has polio, no power in his legs.
00:06:20.460
He grips that podium and he delivers one of the most famous speeches in the 20th century.
00:06:33.380
Germany, he then declares war on the government of Japan.
00:06:51.100
He gave his speech so Congress could then vote on war.
00:07:03.620
It happened later in that day because we were attacked.
00:07:14.200
There was only one vote against and one abstention.
00:07:17.960
By the way, the vote against was from a communist in Vermont.
00:07:23.040
I think it was Bernie Sanders, but I'm not sure.
00:07:28.380
But it is important today to look at that and understand the gravity of it.
00:07:34.700
In the U.S., as per our Constitution, there's a process.
00:07:40.580
We allegedly have a way we're supposed to do things like committing our military to war
00:07:45.960
and spilling not those in Washington, not their blood.
00:07:56.360
They are not even discussing the blood of our children, our treasure, our good name.
00:08:11.780
He was asking Congress, democratically elected officials, to vote to give him the authority
00:08:17.940
to go to war against Japan because that is the process.
00:08:30.020
That'll be the first time they actually discuss it in Congress.
00:08:34.220
When we are hit with a massive cyber attack from Russia in response.
00:08:44.020
And people are like, oh, we're not fighting a war against the United States.
00:08:49.860
Well, your response most likely would be, the hell we're not.
00:09:14.740
And it even says in the Pontius Pilate is really a good guy article on this today.
00:09:22.420
They even say this is for the offense that Zelensky is planning in the spring.
00:09:39.100
The Biden administration and the war hawks on both the right and the left have decided that we don't need to check with you.
00:09:54.400
For those of us who grew up in the Cold War days, those who grew up in the Red Dawn 80s era, we only imagine tanks rolling across Europe against the Russian T-72s and see US F-16 fighting Falcons going against MiG-29s.
00:10:17.900
We saw that because they were going to attack us and then it quickly just went into nuclear war.
00:10:28.160
For those of you who might have been wishing for that, well, your fairy godmother called Joe Biden just granted your wish.
00:10:43.700
We are sending tanks and we're now allowing several European countries to send F-16 fighter jets full stop.
00:10:58.160
The cream of the crop of US weaponry is going straight up against the Russians on the ground and in the sky and it will be war.
00:11:27.120
Is this a government of the people, by the people, and for the people?
00:12:02.260
By the way, with TARP, you were left out in the cold.
00:12:06.420
But then the Fed just went out of control on its own.
00:12:17.900
The Fed, a private corporation in bed with the government of the United States, just starts printing money.
00:12:26.440
Did you okay $7 trillion to go over to foreign countries between the crash of 2008 and 2020?
00:12:42.440
How about were you cool when they shut down your business but opened Home Depot?
00:12:49.740
Were you cool with, you must take this vaccine?
00:12:54.100
Maybe you might have been, but are you still cool with it now that we know?
00:13:06.180
And yet they're still trying to force you to do it.
00:13:12.160
Yet they're still trying to get you to wear a mask on an airplane.
00:13:15.700
Did you know the administration was fighting for that?
00:13:38.420
When you have about 80% of the American population, but that's all sides.
00:13:53.500
Because if they did work for you, they had already passed it.
00:14:02.540
Okay, we have Denise Warner on the phone with us.
00:14:15.020
And I want to make sure that we get the story from the horse's mouth.
00:14:19.060
Denise, first of all, our sympathies are with you and your family.
00:14:23.960
And thank you for coming on and retelling a story that has got to be painful.
00:14:32.700
And pardon me, you've captured the essence of everything, what happened quite perfectly.
00:14:41.540
I saw the video last week, and I think that's when we started talking, my office and you.
00:14:53.100
We're showing it now if you happen to be a Blaze TV subscriber.
00:15:03.440
So she was sitting off to the side, kind of all by herself.
00:15:13.400
So she had been in the hospital two weeks prior, or rather, sorry, had been released just about
00:15:22.160
She had an underlying lung disease and had contracted COVID.
00:15:24.920
So she was one of those folks who got quite unwell.
00:15:32.100
Within a couple of days, some of those lingering symptoms seemed to exacerbate.
00:15:37.360
So she returned to hospital on May 10th, was there in the evening, you know, had a productive
00:15:42.720
cough and had some obvious struggling with breath.
00:15:46.820
So she had been in the ER and, you know, she'd been in the ER for about 20 or odd hours, was
00:16:01.100
Now, my understanding is, although she was known to be COVID negative, because she had similar
00:16:15.720
So she decides, of course, there's a basic need.
00:16:20.200
So she thinks that she's going to find something at the food court.
00:16:23.680
So she makes her way to the food court with her mask on, following whatever policies they
00:16:30.160
And she becomes, of course, very unwell, as you can see in the video, without breath,
00:16:36.160
and sits in a corner to try to get her breath, you know, as if anyone else would do.
00:16:42.500
If you can't breathe, she removed the mask because it was an obstruction.
00:16:46.640
And that's where, you know, things pick up, as you said, that it was identified that she
00:16:55.160
And within minutes, if security shows up on site, they, you know, grip her, crush her
00:17:03.200
into a wall, and then there's a restraint and surprise, an unwell, petite, frail woman
00:17:10.400
goes into respiratory distress, sorry, cardiac arrest.
00:17:15.000
And as you see in the video, she is carted down a hallway like garbage.
00:17:20.080
I have to tell you, the disrespect for a dead body was so shocking to me.
00:17:33.200
I mean, she was practically dragged down the hall.
00:17:37.460
When she was under attack, these soldiers, really, these security guards come pin her
00:17:50.480
And the one that I think is the most abhorrent is what I think is a nurse that first goes over
00:17:57.480
She is just yelling at her to put the mask back on.
00:18:02.640
No compassion in this video at all for your sister.
00:18:13.640
She steps in immediately, and she is intimidating, and she is provoking, and she's a bully.
00:18:21.540
And obviously, her ego is front and center, and I think that she was just waiting for
00:18:30.380
my sister to flinch, and she was ready to take her down, because she could.
00:18:36.800
Okay, so this apparently, I don't know how your system works, but it went up to a district
00:18:49.960
These guys were being held for manslaughter, right?
00:18:54.320
So they were both charged with manslaughter and criminal negligence causing death.
00:18:58.440
And the way that our system works is you go to a pretrial, and at that point, the government
00:19:08.660
A judge determines, is there enough evidence here to go to trial?
00:19:13.160
And so that justice, Justice Quali, determined there was enough evidence for it to be put to
00:19:19.760
Defense counsel filed an appeal, and their suggestion was that there was a lack of evidence.
00:19:26.660
And so this goes before Justice Sean Dunphy, and he listens to a few hours of oral summations
00:19:39.760
He did, actually, and he was quite dismissive of it, if I'm truthful.
00:19:44.500
His actual words were, and I'll quote, is, this was assaultive at best.
00:19:56.000
And I think that the video speaks for itself, that it is evident.
00:20:00.480
As you rightly pointed out, this was a killing.
00:20:04.660
So Justice Dunphy decided that there was insufficient evidence.
00:20:12.660
And in fact, he made that decision effectively before the end of oral summations.
00:20:16.960
He was asking the defense counsel, how do you want me to basically send this to you?
00:20:26.740
And I think that not only the, you know, there's been an incredible national reaction, but it is, it is at a global scale, which I think.
00:20:36.880
So the Canadian people are responding properly to this?
00:20:43.360
You know, I'm not sure if we, our culture probably isn't as assertive as American culture.
00:20:51.540
And I can say that because I'm married to an American.
00:20:53.740
So, but I will say that there has been, there has been an outrage.
00:21:02.420
I mean, I personally, of course, I would have, you know, appreciated us, appreciated us chanting in the street, so to speak.
00:21:13.860
But I have, and I have done, you know, everything that I can to try to reach out to the folks in, you know, power and elected government.
00:21:27.840
We wrote to several people, the Premier of Ontario, University Health Network CEO, the Attorney General of Ontario, and the Justice, Dumfey.
00:21:39.920
And we said we were going to be doing this program today.
00:21:43.720
We quoted what the CBC said, and we said we are looking, what actions did the hospital take against the guards who were criminally charged,
00:21:52.800
the guard who adjusted the camera to avoid capturing the confrontation, are they still employed or at the hospital or any capacity at the University Health Network?
00:22:07.660
And we asked for statements on from all of them in regard to what they had to do.
00:22:14.580
So, the hospital network said they won't comment on any matter before the court, and they won't comment on anybody's employment.
00:22:25.840
Andrew Kennedy, which one is he, Andrew Kennedy?
00:22:35.940
He's a spokesperson, I guess, for the Attorney General of Ontario.
00:22:41.400
Our sympathies are with the Warriner family regarding the death of their loved one.
00:22:45.940
It's important to note that the courts are independent of the Ontario government,
00:22:49.760
and neither government ministries nor elected representatives can interfere with court decision-making.
00:23:07.660
So, we've received many responses, but I don't think any of them,
00:23:15.600
media request, Ford's office, no, we didn't get anything there.
00:23:22.160
So, there's a lot of responses, but they were all pretty much generally weasel.
00:23:30.340
Well, I think those responses, before we go on, are pretty...
00:23:34.940
You know, I think that they are another level of complicity here.
00:23:40.260
You know, I have filed a complaint with the Canadian Judicial Council,
00:23:45.840
which apparently is an independent association responsible for oversight of our justices.
00:23:51.340
You know, I'll be honest with you, at this point, I lack any trust that there will be any movement.
00:24:00.080
Interestingly, I've heard from some, you know, other folks that, again, these are allegations,
00:24:04.440
but that Justice Sean Dunphy is well-known for being one-sided and for not looking at totality,
00:24:11.180
and has made some other pretty controversial decisions.
00:24:20.880
I have spent three years stamping my feet, accessing systems to seek oversight.
00:24:31.000
And interestingly, some of those folks are still employed.
00:24:36.440
In fact, the person who moved the camera, who tampered with evidence,
00:24:42.360
is still employed at University Health Network.
00:24:45.180
I have to tell you, if you moved the camera, you did it because you knew you were doing something wrong.
00:25:04.080
His testimony at pretrial was that he panicked and that he has an anxiety problem.
00:25:11.020
And so I think either way you look at that, actually, when he was pressed further,
00:25:17.560
Why, you know, and he says, well, it was the use of force.
00:25:24.080
This was not their first rodeo, in my estimation.
00:25:28.740
You know, I think that folks ought to be very concerned.
00:25:34.300
And University Health Network is the largest hospital network in Canada.
00:25:38.680
So they operate a number of very big hospitals in the downtown core, which, as you know,
00:25:43.200
Toronto is one of the largest cities in the world, North America especially.
00:25:50.240
They don't want to, they don't want to, you know, pull the layers back and take a look.
00:25:55.780
I have to tell you, we are following this story.
00:26:03.240
I'm going to post this story along with all of the email addresses.
00:26:07.600
I would ask the audience to just send a very nice tweet or write these offices and just say,
00:26:25.460
I don't personally know why there isn't a George Floyd.
00:26:31.720
And it's not in the, you know, it doesn't fit into the narrative.
00:26:36.080
In fact, it fits very well into the neighborhood narrative of COVID people are dangerous.
00:26:45.920
And if this is the treatment you get from a hospital, Canada, you should be afraid to go to the hospital.
00:27:00.100
And because of his experience before antibiotics and everything else, that was true.
00:27:05.100
And I think it's becoming true again, but just for different reasons.
00:27:10.340
So we're going to post all of their email addresses.
00:27:13.120
And I would just ask you a very nice email just saying, this is an injustice, a clear injustice.
00:27:23.020
If you happen to agree, you need to rally behind this family.
00:27:28.840
This should be a global movement because life matters.
00:27:45.520
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:28:01.420
Are we going to talk planes, trains, and automobiles?
00:28:05.880
First of all, I kind of remember when the American people were consulted about important things,
00:28:14.040
and then it would go into Congress and the Senate, and they would debate and have to vote.
00:28:19.860
I am so glad we are past that messy part, and we can just send offensive weapons against Russia
00:28:27.600
just right there so we could go into World War III without a messy discussion.
00:28:32.760
Yeah, well, your memories are so cute, aren't they?
00:28:41.280
You know, Glenn, I have supported, as a former military officer and someone who works in intelligence,
00:28:46.760
national security, I supported our initial efforts in Ukraine.
00:28:56.980
It's been a very good return on investment, and essentially we've been able to decimate the
00:29:01.000
Russian military and find out that they were a paper tiger.
00:29:03.980
But we're at the point now where we have to begin to ask these questions.
00:29:15.520
He says he will not quit fighting until we go all the way to Crimea, which I promise you,
00:29:20.760
Vladimir Putin is not going to allow that to happen without responding.
00:29:23.920
And every time we have a proxy war such as this, and there's an escalation on one side,
00:29:29.120
and you could go back to Korea to Vietnam, and the most recent example is Syria.
00:29:35.160
Every time you have an escalation on one side, it doesn't end the war.
00:29:44.740
It leads to more blood, more conflict, more deaths.
00:29:47.660
And I think, once again, we have got to ask ourselves, what is the end game in Ukraine?
00:29:54.120
How much time, how much money are we willing to spend there?
00:29:57.020
And how do we minimize the threat globally if we reach a point where Vladimir Putin does
00:30:02.520
something that we all deeply hope that he would never do?
00:30:08.160
If Russia were doing the same thing, the sides were switched.
00:30:12.240
If Russia were doing the same thing to us, would you not be having conversations in Washington
00:30:17.580
saying, their allies have said, this is war against the United States.
00:30:24.400
They're sending in now offensive weapons for a move Zelensky's going to make,
00:30:37.160
Would we not at least be having those discussions?
00:30:47.760
Which is to the point about we need to understand and decide what is our national goal,
00:30:53.360
what are our national strategies here, and not just allow this to step by step move us
00:30:59.520
into a position that's indefensible when it comes to the interest of the American people
00:31:09.060
And until we answer those questions, you're going to have a growing number of Americans
00:31:13.340
who say, I'm not sure that I support this ad infinitum.
00:31:17.440
I'm not sure I'm going to support this kind of money.
00:31:19.720
And this kind of escalation has such a dangerous downside.
00:31:24.360
We are going to be asked to send our sons and daughters, if this escalates, out of control.
00:31:30.080
Our sons and daughters will be drafted because they won't volunteer because they can't.
00:31:40.100
We're not hitting any of the recruiting numbers.
00:31:42.180
So our kids are going to be asked to go and die for a war that nobody understands.
00:31:54.300
But you're not willing to say, no, I'm willing to lose my house and my children for it.
00:32:04.380
We can never reach a point where we send American soldiers to fight in Ukraine.
00:32:09.620
Well, I think we're going to be, I mean, it's an offensive, a tank is an offensive weapon,
00:32:20.080
I mean, the whole design of it, the whole purpose of it is to move the battlefield.
00:32:26.380
It is a very different weapon than, say, a Patriot missile system, which is designed
00:32:31.360
to protect your own people and your own resources.
00:32:42.760
And in fact, we're expanding that because I'm going to sit on the new church committee,
00:32:45.800
which I think is some of the most important work we could do as we look to rein in the
00:32:51.780
And the people that are on the new church committee, are you guys, they're all
00:33:11.480
I mean, look, Jim Jordan is someone that I think I trust, and he's earned our trust.
00:33:17.280
And you got people like myself, Tom Massey, who's a good friend, a real libertarian and
00:33:23.000
understands, you know, the line between between what we should allow and power.
00:33:29.280
We should allow our federal government and power that we should not.
00:33:33.560
A couple of them are new, but it is a serious effort.
00:33:46.100
Well, Glenn, I mean, when I came to Congress, I didn't know that I'd become involved with
00:33:49.540
mental health and emotional health and suicide prevention.
00:33:52.680
I mean, I wrote the legislation that created the 988 number, the National Suicide Hotline
00:33:58.660
And the reason that drew me into this was our veterans, the fact that we had 22 veterans
00:34:04.980
But shortly after that, it was a mental health crisis that we recognized is taking place among
00:34:11.720
I mean, we are destroying a generation as we allow them and encourage them to wallow in
00:34:19.560
So we have a we have a bill and I believe we're going to have bipartisan support for it.
00:34:23.620
And I know, you know, some may not like this because it does.
00:34:34.500
We don't allow them to buy cigarettes or marijuana.
00:34:36.680
Why do we allow a nine year old to spend five hours a day?
00:34:41.980
And that is the average for an American nine year old, five hours a day on social media.
00:34:46.600
The average 13 year old is nine hours a day and it destroys their confidence.
00:34:54.320
It makes it so they can't look at a life of hope.
00:34:56.660
And we hope to move legislation that would preclude the social media companies from allowing
00:35:02.880
anyone under 16 to to have a social media account.
00:35:08.260
And you have to recognize, Glenn, that Instagram and TikTok are designed to be emotional heroine
00:35:15.300
and they are deliberately advertising to nine, 10, 11 and 12 year old.
00:35:21.700
They all are designed to really rewire your brain to be able to not be able to get off of
00:35:34.180
It is an IV bag of dopamine and it's it's destroying our society.
00:35:45.260
They will all say, you've got to be older than nine to do this.
00:35:48.960
I mean, how are you going to actually police that?
00:35:55.920
And before I answer that, could I just make one more point?
00:35:58.960
We now live in a society where nearly a third of our young people have contemplated suicide
00:36:06.260
and have discussed how they would commit suicide with a print.
00:36:16.160
And that is for a new account, we're not going to go back and try and kick anyone off.
00:36:21.540
But for any new account that the social media companies would require them to show proof of
00:36:29.460
Now, I argue with the social media accounts, you already know how old they are.
00:36:34.580
You know what their shoe size is and what they eat for breakfast.
00:36:36.760
And they'll say, no, no, no, we don't know anything about them.
00:36:45.860
And so they would have to show a driver's license or a birth certificate.
00:36:50.340
And again, I know that some people are uncomfortable with that.
00:36:54.960
But if we can save a 9, 10, 11, 12, 13-year-old young person, a young girl, a young boy from
00:37:03.160
immersing themselves in this world that can be so destructive, I believe it's well worth
00:37:07.880
And then the second element to that, Glenn, is you actually provide legal standing to
00:37:12.120
parents and to states to sue the social media companies if they don't adhere to this and
00:37:19.080
then for the damage that they do, whether it's your child who maybe is involved with, who now
00:37:25.160
is suicidal or anxious or depressed, or states can pursue legal remedies as well.
00:37:32.320
So, Chris, I, you know, all due respect, I love you.
00:37:35.220
And I appreciate, you know, what you're trying to do.
00:37:38.280
I'm not sure I agree with your solutions, but I applaud you for looking into it and beginning
00:37:49.920
I'm not sure the best way to do it, but we are doing experiment.
00:37:56.040
I mean, I'd love to see the Nuremberg laws enacted here, but unfortunately, we're all
00:38:03.380
We're doing massive experiments on our children and ourselves and the social media companies.
00:38:20.780
Glenn, that's why I look forward to talking to you about this today, because I wondered
00:38:27.040
And I know that you and I feel the same way about emotional health and mental health.
00:38:30.720
And like most Americans now, we have experience with someone we love who has taken their own
00:38:43.020
And gosh, Glenn, if you or if any of your listeners have a different idea, please tell
00:38:47.040
us, because we're open to anything that would protect our children from this.
00:38:53.060
But short of us having a better idea, this is one avenue that I think is worth pursuing.
00:38:59.760
Well, I'd like to, I hope you debate it and debate it in public, because I would like
00:39:06.920
And I'm sure if anybody has an idea, you know, you can tweet at Chris Stewart.
00:39:15.380
And if you don't agree, you don't have to say, I can't believe, just say like I did.
00:39:32.600
I have had a suicide attempt and and a ideation of suicide in my family in the, you know, not
00:39:46.860
And if that's happening in my family and I don't know what to do about it, you know,
00:39:54.700
I've had I've had what three suicides in my family, one on two on my side, one on my wife's
00:40:06.020
I don't know what to say to you because I don't understand their world.
00:40:15.920
I mean, I talked to a girl who said, do you know what it's like to always have to be on?
00:40:31.960
I can't just go as a slob sometimes because it will be recorded and it will be out there
00:40:39.680
And it's ridiculous that she had to think of that.
00:40:42.720
But they are under so much pressure all the time.
00:40:48.880
It is also just the access to the phone and the videotaping and everything else.
00:41:00.660
I mean, it's just that there's just aren't words strong enough to what we've done to our
00:41:03.840
young people, the pressures that we put on them.
00:41:07.880
This legislation isn't going to happen this week.
00:41:10.700
We look forward to people's inputs, but we've got to do something to protect our kids.
00:41:18.140
The suicide rate around among African-American men is up like 30 or 35 percent.
00:41:25.660
It is we there's there's an issue of meaningless that we have to talk about.
00:41:54.700
