00:00:00.000
Hey, today is a great show. Great podcast kind of fell apart there at the end.
00:00:05.340
Just a simple question for Stu. And wow, did we go off?
00:00:09.200
I mean, I I was looking for Border Patrol to kind of kind of whipping back into place there for a while.
00:00:15.160
We talked to Dan Crenshaw about the border and so much more.
00:00:20.220
COVID-19 is a topic and the changing American landscape and economy, which is basically the show that we have happening tonight at nine o'clock.
00:00:33.220
You don't want to miss it is America being changed into Venezuela.
00:00:39.620
Don't miss that. Nine o'clock on Blaze TV right after a brand new stew does America.
00:00:58.160
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:06.160
Do you have any reaction to the Border Patrol agents using force rains to rain in Haitian migrants down at the southern border?
00:01:13.640
What I saw depicted about those individuals on force back treating human beings the way they were is horrible.
00:01:24.100
And I fully support what is happening right now, which is a thorough investigation into exactly what is going on there.
00:01:33.400
But human beings should never be treated that way.
00:01:56.380
Well, I mean, what you just played is a clip from Kamala Harris is infuriating.
00:02:03.400
I mean, look, I'm about to go as soon as we're done here.
00:02:06.940
We're going to give a speech on the House floor.
00:02:08.760
And the theme of this speech is, well, just stop pretending.
00:02:12.400
Just stop pretending that Democrats even have any desire to secure the border.
00:02:18.500
I mean, we talk about this on shows like yours quite a bit.
00:02:27.120
You know, why would you take policy measure after policy measure that increases illegal immigration?
00:02:32.500
And the answer is because that's exactly their goal.
00:02:38.800
I mean, look, I think there's a lot of people who want to give some of them the benefit of the doubt.
00:02:49.760
But I think they do want this to happen because everything is so calculated.
00:02:56.540
I mean, to throw your agents under the bus like that,
00:02:58.140
do you have any idea what these border agents are going through every single day?
00:03:04.600
What happened, what I saw in that video looks extremely mild to me.
00:03:08.020
Now, quick and granted, a bit of like deployments in the Middle East.
00:03:13.020
But by any standard, to be honest, especially when people are running across your border.
00:03:19.680
And, you know, the other thing I think we should stop pretending,
00:03:24.140
We should stop pretending they do, and they should be immediately deported.
00:03:34.720
It's, I'll tell you, Dan, it is, I don't know where the GOP is,
00:03:41.380
but the GOP has got to start standing up for the principles and the values
00:03:45.740
that the American people, at least half of the American people hold.
00:03:54.060
I'm so sick and tired to be calling racist or, really, I'm a racist.
00:03:59.640
Do you know how many people my organization is saving that are of browner skin than mine,
00:04:07.020
that don't, you know, necessarily come from our Western culture,
00:04:20.840
and everything they're doing is actually hurting and enslaving the people they say they're helping.
00:04:26.860
Do you think this is a good life for these people who are on the border?
00:04:30.720
They've now just sold everything, and many of them are being shipped to Haiti,
00:04:42.500
It actually gets to a deeper point about the immigration debate,
00:04:45.760
one that conservatives need to use more often, which is this.
00:04:49.780
It's immoral, not just because it's a threat to our sovereignty, which it is,
00:04:58.720
And, you know, that's like moral rule number one that you learn as a kid.
00:05:05.760
Well, think about the millions of people around the world who have valid asylum claims.
00:05:09.300
I mean, like the people you're talking about, the organization helped save in Afghanistan.
00:05:14.680
These are people with valid asylum claims who are actually probably going to get killed by their new government.
00:05:20.160
You just can't say the same with the people just rushing across our border.
00:05:26.520
Not most of them are not, but they're breaking the law,
00:05:29.260
and they're cutting in front of people who are also good people,
00:05:31.560
but also in desperate need of our asylum claims.
00:05:42.320
I mean, I have yet to hear any Republicans who haven't spoken out against the border.
00:05:49.480
It's just some of those have bigger platforms to do so.
00:05:57.940
These things matter to an extraordinary degree.
00:06:00.560
And, look, we're looking, we're searching for ways in Texas that we can kind of subvert the federal authority here
00:06:12.080
And I think Abbott is looking at every avenue to do that.
00:06:15.380
But it's not easy, you know, because it's not as easy as just, we'll send more National Guard.
00:06:26.440
I mean, what you see on that, on the Border Patrol, what the Border Patrol agents are doing in that video
00:06:29.920
that Kamala Harris was clutching our pearls about, what they're doing is they're trying to have a show of force.
00:06:37.300
He sent a bunch of Texas DPS agents, Department of Public Safety agents, to just show a show of force,
00:06:42.800
knowing full well that if that group just quietly walked past them, they can't do anything about it.
00:06:53.540
And, you know, the other sad part is, Glenn, it's so easy to fix, reinstate migrant protection protocols
00:06:59.560
that the Trump administration had in place, you know, build walls as much as they can, sure.
00:07:04.020
But the real issue is disincentivizing crossing via good enforcement and via immediate deportation
00:07:12.060
so that you remove the calculus that these immigrants currently have,
00:07:16.380
which is, well, probably get let loose and not even give it a court date.
00:07:20.160
I have to thank you so much for what you did with Pakistan for the Afghanistan refugees.
00:07:34.180
I get a call and they said, Glenn, can you reach out to the Pakistani prime minister?
00:07:46.140
And then as I'm getting into it, you had a fan over there.
00:07:51.580
And between these two, I guess, these two leaders over there, they actually, it was weird, wasn't it?
00:08:03.300
And you had to write a letter to, I can't remember the name of the general.
00:08:13.480
It was just the Pakistani intelligence service.
00:08:16.320
And you wrote a letter and that was the thing that really helped turn the key.
00:08:22.520
We had the prime minister, but then we needed General Hamid.
00:08:26.140
And he was a huge fan of yours and you wrote to him and he turned the key.
00:08:34.020
Yeah, it was an interesting turn of events, right?
00:08:37.440
And I don't know why they're fans of ours, I'll be honest.
00:08:40.460
I don't think I've ever said anything nice about Pakistan.
00:08:44.420
You know, I know full well what we were dealing with in Afghanistan with Pakistan.
00:08:50.000
But we've always had this sort of like interesting relationship with Pakistan, which is indicative of the messiness of foreign policy in the Middle East, right?
00:08:59.720
Everybody wants to think it's good guys and bad guys, but it's never that simple.
00:09:03.780
I will tell you, if it wasn't for General Hamid and the prime minister of Pakistan, though, thousands would not be moving to safety.
00:09:15.080
Now, they have opened that door that only Pakistan could have opened.
00:09:21.280
Yeah, and they deserve a lot of praise for that.
00:09:24.780
They went ahead and used their influence and they have a lot to make it happen when our administration here was just not doing it.
00:09:34.680
And it was difficult to deal with the State Department on this because you'll finally get a hold of somebody with some power.
00:09:42.160
And they're like, look, we've been working on this the whole time.
00:09:48.680
You know, I don't think you've been working on it the whole time, but it sounds like at least you changed your mind.
00:09:57.720
But then but then but then I'd come in and hear things from from other groups, not necessarily yours.
00:10:09.160
You know, State Department just couldn't verify who was on the plane.
00:10:11.920
And sometimes that was the case, but it was frustrating.
00:10:14.640
And it just never felt like we're really taking it that seriously.
00:10:18.960
And again, to your to your previous point, I thought they were all about helping.
00:10:35.120
The truth, the truth is, is the Democrats are always more excited about getting people into the country that they that they believe they count on as a voter voter block.
00:10:43.280
And like Afghans, like aren't necessarily they're like definitely not obvious that they would vote Democrat and Cubans, Venezuelans.
00:10:50.740
They just have a less Puerto Ricans to, you know, notice they always call for Washington, D.C.
00:11:05.420
The army is coming out and talking about dishonorable discharges for people who won't take the vaccine.
00:11:17.380
And if so, what can be done to stop dishonorable discharges from the military?
00:11:28.860
It's just they always have to take this too far.
00:11:33.640
In the military, you're required to take vaccines.
00:11:42.220
And you're not going to erase those concerns by forcing it on them.
00:11:45.980
You're not going to erase those concerns by also changing DOD policy.
00:11:52.440
You know, I'm not aware of anybody ever being expelled dishonorably from the military for a normal vaccine refusal.
00:12:00.180
And in normal vaccine refusals in normal times, you know, you can apply for the religious exemption.
00:12:06.620
Also, you know, if you're six months away from retirement, you don't have to take your vaccines anymore.
00:12:18.240
So it's just these little things that are so unnecessary.
00:12:21.120
And there's hundreds of people in the SEAL teams that just don't want to take it.
00:12:25.120
Look, and my advice to them is don't throw your career away for this.
00:12:28.300
Like what they're doing is wrong, but don't throw your career away for this.
00:12:31.280
I have no evidence that suggested anything wrong with the vaccine.
00:12:40.760
And, you know, there's got to be a level of trust between the authorities and the people underneath those authorities.
00:12:48.220
And that trust has been broken a long time ago.
00:12:50.440
And our DOD leadership just needs to recognize that.
00:12:52.720
Just be good leaders and recognize that, look, you push too far.
00:12:58.220
You're going to have a real blow to force readiness because you're going to force so many people out.
00:13:03.480
The people that you need, by the way, recruiting isn't that easy.
00:13:06.680
You know, there's not that many people that are really both qualified and want to join the military.
00:13:18.740
You know, we've had a very small number of service members die from COVID.
00:13:26.340
It's like the age group is like 18 to 45 and generally healthy.
00:13:30.260
There's a good reason that you're not hugely at risk.
00:13:49.520
Congressman Dan Crenshaw, thank you so much for being on with us.
00:13:59.040
Okay, I just want to throw a few things out here tonight or today and get you ready for tonight's broadcast only on Blaze TV.
00:14:19.800
If you were somebody who listened to me in 06 and 07, especially in 07, I was freaking out in 07.
00:14:30.700
Like the few months before the collapse, I was desperate to find anyone who would verify or take it apart and say, no, Glenn.
00:14:38.980
But everyone I met with, they would always get down to the argument of, you don't understand.
00:14:54.360
And I'm like, I think you rely too much on these systems that no one can really explain.
00:15:01.960
And in 07, freaking out a little bit and saying, please pay attention to what's going on.
00:15:11.260
I feel exactly the same way, but it's not necessarily about the economy.
00:15:17.400
It is about the economy, but it's the whole thing this time.
00:15:28.340
It is going to dramatically change all of our lives, and it is going to hit you financially like nothing will ever hit you.
00:15:40.420
And it has happened two other times before in American history where we've changed our currency.
00:15:49.580
And generally speaking, every time that we have had to change our currency and go to, like, for instance, the last time this happened was in the 20s.
00:16:00.540
Once you do that and you change, the old currency loses value, and it's only worth about 60 cents for every dollar.
00:16:10.720
So you'll lose 40% of your savings when it happens.
00:16:19.720
And this is why they're talking about a digital dollar.
00:16:26.780
They are right now trying to make sure they know everything that you are doing.
00:16:31.980
If you put in or take out $600 at your bank, the federal government is going to be notified.
00:16:41.940
Now, they say they're just going after the rich.
00:16:44.700
But I know a lot of people that take $600 out of their bank account and are not rich.
00:16:50.320
I know a lot of people that put $600 in their bank account and put it in and they're not rich.
00:16:59.140
I mean, when you're moving $100,000, $200,000, you know, then I could say, oh, you're probably pretty rich.
00:17:13.560
I want you to understand that your country has fundamentally changed.
00:17:17.720
You are no longer living in the country that we all thought we were living in.
00:17:24.840
When the national archives say that our founding documents are racist and they need trigger warnings, what happens?
00:17:47.860
When we were burning all the art and the books.
00:17:54.040
The other one is, well, we knew they were offensive.
00:18:04.260
If your government and your archives are now saying that your founding documents are racist and offensive, how much longer will they be preserved forever?
00:18:21.020
You can't say something is racist and offensive and then still use it.
00:18:34.700
The latest is now the airlines should shame the frequent flyers.
00:18:46.160
If you used to fly with the airlines and you had a lot of air miles, you would get perks.
00:19:02.340
Now they're saying we should shame the frequent flyers, not give them perks.
00:19:10.680
Now, this takes everything that we know about business and turns it upside down.
00:19:16.460
Why did the airlines say frequent flyer programs?
00:19:19.980
Because they knew people were traveling and they wanted them to travel on their airlines.
00:19:24.380
They wanted the money because it helped their airline.
00:19:27.660
If you are saying don't fly on airlines, how do those airlines not become Aeroflot?
00:19:36.460
How do those airlines continue to innovate and give you great service if they are telling people not to fly?
00:19:44.740
Well, they need to tell people not to fly because that's the only way they'll get their little green stamp from the government.
00:19:53.900
They're upset that Easter this last year was up 800% from the year before.
00:20:02.860
Well, of course it was up 800% from the year before.
00:20:06.100
Nobody was going anywhere the Easter before last.
00:20:20.160
Well, that's going to mean that we have fewer choices in airlines.
00:20:24.620
Now, they say that they're not getting rid of air travel, but I'm guaranteeing you air travel will go back to the way it was in the 1960s, which is kind of nice.
00:20:38.220
When that was happening, it was a jet-setting kind of thing that I'm going to take you down to the beaches, baby, and we're going to go with the jet-setters.
00:20:58.120
You're not going to get dressed up, but it's going to be that way again.
00:21:09.040
In some ways, it might be a good thing because maybe our families will stay together.
00:21:15.340
Because if you can't fly, and of course your evil car is going to cost you $8 a gallon in gasoline, you're also not going to drive very much.
00:21:31.800
That's the price of gas and the idea that we shouldn't travel as much by air.
00:21:38.580
Think how much that's going to change our lives, all of our lives.
00:21:52.740
And let me go a little deeper on that one thing.
00:21:57.220
Right now, the banks, Citibank, has just gotten on board with BlackRock, where they are no longer going to give anyone a loan that is building any kind of fossil fuel plant to be able to create energy.
00:22:14.220
Now, I don't know if the geniuses, and they do, I don't know if the geniuses have figured this out or thought of it, but when you are going to an all-electric car, all-electric vehicle-based economy, you're going to need more electricity, not less.
00:22:35.440
Tonight, I'm going to show you the five categories that made America great.
00:22:49.400
I'm not talking about America is great because America is good, although that does play a role.
00:22:54.860
I'm talking about what made the United States of America the powerhouse that it always was.
00:23:04.920
Because in the 20th century, something happened.
00:23:14.780
And right now, all five of them are being dismantled.
00:23:37.360
You can't get the goods and services that you've always counted on.
00:23:41.880
Do you know that there was a time before COVID that one ship in the port of Los Angeles, one ship waiting was a big deal.
00:23:55.720
Okay, they can move these ships through the ports like crazy.
00:24:01.620
And that was usually cleared, you know, within a day.
00:24:06.320
There are now 73 ships, cargo ships, off the coast of California waiting to dock.
00:24:18.420
COVID, they don't have enough people to work, yada, yada, yada.
00:24:24.980
There's 73 ships waiting to put things on to our ground that you might be waiting for right now.
00:24:33.500
I'm sorry, but I don't believe all of this is happening just because of COVID.
00:24:42.980
The government is playing a role in keeping people off of work.
00:25:09.180
They're also doing everything they can to hurt farmers.
00:25:13.260
I'm going to show you what they're doing to farmers tonight that I believe.
00:25:24.880
I truly believe this idea that they have and are implementing now is as dangerous as Mao's five-year plan.
00:25:38.740
I believe by 2030, if we don't wake up and start standing up as a people and go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:25:50.040
No, my elected official never put that into law.
00:25:55.880
If we don't start standing up and demanding that these agencies are under control,
00:26:00.900
I believe global starvation will hit epic, epic levels by 2030.
00:26:12.780
Tonight I'm going to show you the scenario of the five categories.
00:26:16.960
It is the plan to make not only the United States, but every country that's not already Venezuela, Venezuela.
00:26:30.940
And I'll give you some things that you must do to prepare.
00:26:36.260
That's tonight at nine o'clock on blazetv.com slash back blazetv.com slash back.
00:26:47.860
You will get information that I don't think you're going to get anywhere else.
00:26:50.920
Uh, and in a few weeks, we have a, we have a COVID special that I guarantee you, you will not get anywhere else.
00:26:58.920
And if we do anything that you find worthy, please join us.
00:27:16.100
So Stu, uh, I wish I could say I was puzzled by this, uh, report now about the Wuhan scientists planning to release coronavirus particles into a cave of bats.
00:27:36.700
And the only reason why I'm not is because I'm working on a show that's coming out in October and I knew this particular piece of this, uh, about two weeks ago and couldn't get the, couldn't get the evidence, uh, to it, uh, safely.
00:28:01.980
They planned to create a chimeric virus genetically enhanced to infect humans more easily.
00:28:12.220
Now this is 18 months before the first COVID-19 case appears.
00:28:16.900
Researchers had submitted plans to release skin penetrating nanoparticles and aerosols can containing, uh, novel chimeric spike proteins of bat coronaviruses into cave bats in China.
00:28:39.180
Well, that kind of explains why we think this might be aerosol.
00:28:43.980
And if it is aerosol, that means that space doesn't matter.
00:28:56.500
What matters is how long, how long has it been since somebody else who might've had it been in the area?
00:29:04.180
If it's aerosol, which by the way, I don't believe, I don't believe nature creates.
00:29:12.900
Because the aerosol, it's just hanging in the air for a long period of time.
00:29:19.280
That's why you could get it and space, six feet apart.
00:29:23.500
Doesn't mean it doesn't make any difference at all.
00:29:27.060
How long has it been since that has been exposed in this area?
00:29:31.160
So anyway, these scientists, 18 months before, they, uh, they went to DARPA, the defense advanced research projects agency, you know, DARPA.
00:29:46.780
And they said, Hey, we'd like to do this experiment and we'd like your funding and your help.
00:29:55.140
And DARPA looked at it, went, uh, I don't think so.
00:30:01.980
I think that's where most of our biggest brains are hanging out.
00:30:05.280
And they said, no, that's when Fauci decides to get involved.
00:30:19.220
Uh, it is, uh, you're going to be, you won't be shocked, uh, but you will be horrified at the truth about the Corona virus.
00:30:32.180
You will understand the world will make complete sense to you.
00:30:44.720
You won't get all of the facts yet, uh, because a thorough investigation needs to happen, but it probably will not.
00:30:56.700
We have a special coming in October that you don't want to miss.
00:31:01.140
I wish I could give it to you now, but it is so complex and we have to have this thing so buttoned up.
00:31:07.280
Every word that comes out of my mouth has to be exactly right.
00:31:35.260
It's not surprising that people would be a little tired of the whole Gretchen Whitmer thing in, in Michigan.
00:31:43.180
Her incredible success and not any, not all, totally no hypocrisy whatsoever.
00:31:52.440
Michigan, I think was one of the, I think one of the hardest hit states when it came to really irrational COVID restrictions.
00:32:00.060
And, you know, people really did not, uh, appreciate that.
00:32:06.360
Uh, for instance, like the Emmys, that wasn't irrational.
00:32:11.360
They can all gather in that room and they can all be having dinner together.
00:32:15.720
They can all be laughing and talking and nobody has to wear a mask because they're entertainers.
00:32:22.200
Now, where do you find, where do you find that to be irrational?
00:32:27.740
It doesn't seem, it seems like for whatever reason, these cities and states have decided to have cutouts for people who are famous.
00:32:42.160
Do we have, we don't happen to have, I did a, have you heard the full excuse from the San Francisco mayor on why she was caught in a nightclub without a mask?
00:32:59.320
Hey, did you hear the crazy explanation from the San Francisco mayor being caught and then you follow it in a nightclub without a mask?
00:33:17.500
Yeah, I mean, that's how crazy things have been.
00:33:19.540
Being caught in a nightclub within it without a mask.
00:33:31.340
So the fact that we have turned this into a story about being maskless.
00:33:41.680
That's exactly what they tell you to do on an airplane every time you fly.
00:33:46.380
Ever since Joe Biden got in, he changed all the regulations of what they need to say on the airplane.
00:33:50.720
They say you need to take a sip and then put your mask back on.
00:33:56.540
So that is specifically something we're all supposed to be doing on airplanes.
00:34:01.240
But she's in a nightclub with much poorer ventilation and is okay with that.
00:34:10.260
Because, I mean, you might say, like, there are extenuating circumstances, right?
00:34:14.820
Things can happen where maybe you would not wear a mask.
00:34:20.200
She was mugged and all they stole was her mask.
00:34:24.800
What if it was the most exhilarating circumstance you can possibly imagine?
00:34:30.500
Like, the most exciting thing possible occurred and it just made you forget all of the rules.
00:34:39.280
And I don't think she, I don't think, again, I don't know, the gender thing's difficult these days.
00:34:52.820
And I think it's sad that this is even a story.
00:34:57.020
The fact is, there was something that was really monumental that occurred.
00:35:05.260
And that is Tony, Tony, Tony, the original members, the brothers, Raphael Sadiq and Dwayne Wiggins, who have not performed in public for, I believe, at least over 20 years.
00:35:20.500
They are just really some of the most incredible artists in the history of this country and the Bay Area in particular.
00:35:30.980
And the fact that that is getting lost here is very unfortunate.
00:36:02.340
I remember Tony, Tony, Tony, and I was a DJ at the time, and you give me a hint on what their one hit might have been called.
00:36:16.640
Is that the hint or is that the name of the song?
00:36:25.860
Because I do remember Tony, Tony, Tony largely because of the, they spelled it three different ways.
00:36:50.060
It feels good was the first group, first single to breach the top 10 in the Billboard Top 100.
00:36:59.560
If you got to number four, you say the top five.
00:37:05.280
Then as it becomes easier for you to play the record on the day or as needed.
00:37:12.980
Now, can you remember, you think about this, you're in a San Francisco club and you have
00:37:16.940
a mascot, but you're not going to leave it on for this.
00:37:29.640
But I'm thinking to myself that I'm in a nightclub and all of a sudden they say, ladies and
00:37:58.580
It sounds like the right era, but I know this does not sound familiar at all.
00:38:09.160
I don't think I've ever heard this song in my life.
00:38:28.720
He came with them with the other Tony and the other Tony.
00:38:34.640
This is another issue what I have with this statement.
00:38:37.040
She only mentions the two Tonys, which neither one of them are named Tony.
00:38:55.960
I kind of thought it would be like, you know, a band you'd listen to at like, like they're
00:39:21.260
She's still going on about Tony, Tony, Tony, by the way.
00:39:23.180
And who really uplifted the spirits of not just myself, but all of the people who were
00:39:30.160
I don't know about you and whether or not you know who Raphael Sadiq and Dwayne Wiggins
00:39:37.740
But I don't know about you, but if you know who they are.
00:39:47.980
I got up and started dancing because I was feeling the spirit.
00:39:59.260
Right now, I haven't heard that excuse be accepted by the CDC, by the CDC or any airline
00:40:09.300
I have to tell you, unless you're feeling the spirit, obviously, if Tony, Tony, Tony is
00:40:24.260
You know, it's like you have a bad case of Ebola.
00:40:27.220
Do not walk in to a crowd unless you hear Tony, Tony, Tony.
00:40:34.140
You know, look, we're going to have to triple mask your two year old.
00:40:41.700
But if it's not Tony, Tony, Tony related, then I'm sorry the kid can't breathe.
00:40:51.260
But if the freaking mayor of San Francisco decides indoors in a nightclub that Tony, Tony,
00:41:01.240
Could it be that your soul is moved by Frank, Dino and Sammy?
00:41:27.000
The only thing that makes sense here is if you start hearing Tony, Tony, Tony music,
00:41:31.500
you take your mask off because you'd rather have covid.
00:41:36.620
If I were in San Francisco, honest to God, if I were in San Francisco, I would get one
00:41:40.540
of those little teeny tape players, you know, you know, usually used to spy on people.
00:41:44.100
I guess it's the only reason why you have them.
00:41:49.260
And every time, every time somebody would ask me, sir, where's your mask?
00:42:20.780
I'm not sure trumpeteer is any better than trumpestist.
