The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Sen. Tommy Tuberville ｜ 8⧸22⧸23

00:00:00.400 Wow, good show today. Wouldn't you say? Good podcast? Yeah, really fascinating times.

00:00:05.980 Yeah. Thanks to the show, Easy. Yeah. This one is, this one is, I don't even know how to describe it.

00:00:12.800 We had two senators on today that I thought were fantastic and were just open and honest and it was just like a real conversation.

00:00:23.780 It doesn't happen with two politicians very often. That's very true. Right? Very true.

00:00:27.780 So, Stu and I also went down the rabbit hole of, is it Oliver Anthony or Anthony?

00:00:36.740 It's Oliver Anthony. Why can you not remember his name?

00:00:39.060 Because he has two first names and it's not even his name.

00:00:42.460 Anyway, we were talking about the lyrics and Stu thinks that they're really depressing.

00:00:48.900 And I agree with him, but I can see how many people feel that.

00:00:54.580 Sure.

00:00:54.940 Um, and that led us to something on Donald Trump and the election.

00:01:02.620 We talk about this and so much more on today's podcast.

00:01:07.020 Don't miss a second of it brought to you by Jace Medical.

00:01:10.720 Jace Medical has their Jace case for antibiotics, five of the most important antibiotics for emergency use.

00:01:17.280 I am happy to announce they're also launching a new product called Jace Daily, a prescription supply service that allows you to get up to 12 month backup of all the medicines that you need, all the prescriptions that you need.

00:01:31.800 Cholesterol, diabetes, heart health, blood pressure, mental health, Stu needs morphine, I think, just, but mainly only for this show.

00:01:40.580 Um, the, the order is reviewed by a certified healthcare professional delivered right to your door.

00:01:46.580 Um, Sean Roland, I just talked to him.

00:01:49.360 He founded Jace Medical and he said, being prepared medically is more than just having access to antibiotics, especially when you learn that all of your medications are all produced overseas.

00:02:00.040 This is a disaster waiting to happen.

00:02:03.840 Please protect your family from it.

00:02:05.760 Jace Medical, J-A-S-E Medical dot com, Jace Medical dot com.

00:02:09.900 Enter the promo code BECK and save.

00:02:18.680 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:22.660 Oh my gosh, I am, I am so nervous about this new COVID vaccine, this new COVID-19.

00:02:32.220 Do we have a vaccine yet?

00:02:34.300 I don't think so, Glenn.

00:02:35.320 It's on the way.

00:02:36.720 It's on the way.

00:02:37.680 To save the day.

00:02:38.760 Wow.

00:02:39.500 Mm-hmm.

00:02:40.120 Now it's coming and it's coming fast and furious.

00:02:44.280 In fact, it was, uh, it was being produced before they announced this new vaccine, this new, uh, version of COVID-19, which is weird, but they've got it.

00:02:57.900 And, uh, if you just go get, I think this is the ninth booster now, isn't it?

00:03:02.760 Uh, you're going to be able to, uh, you're going to be able to it.

00:03:05.940 Now this one has a scary name.

00:03:07.940 Okay.

00:03:08.340 This is really scary.

00:03:10.560 This is not COVID anymore.

00:03:12.140 It's not.

00:03:12.960 No.

00:03:13.160 It, this one is Eris.

00:03:16.200 Eris.

00:03:16.800 E-R-I-S. 0.99

00:03:18.140 Eris.

00:03:18.760 Is that another?

00:03:20.000 Hmm?

00:03:20.400 Why, why is it Eris?

00:03:22.200 Well, it's, it's named, uh, after the, um, the god of, um, strife and discord.

00:03:35.500 Mm-hmm.

00:03:36.260 Mm-hmm.

00:03:36.880 It's a goddess.

00:03:38.420 Strife and discord.

00:03:39.540 I'm glad you got the gender right. 0.96

00:03:40.920 I didn't want you to misgender. 1.00

00:03:41.840 I hate doing that to gods.

00:03:43.960 I hate doing that to gods.

00:03:45.300 Yeah.

00:03:45.760 Um, but I was, so I was looking into it, uh, today and I thought, you know, somebody named

00:03:50.500 it Eris.

00:03:51.260 Uh, why Eris?

00:03:52.840 Why do we name this one Eris?

00:03:54.020 Is the E after the E after the O in the Greek alphabet?

00:04:00.300 Do we know?

00:04:00.940 No.

00:04:01.420 No, it's not.

00:04:02.060 My understanding is no.

00:04:03.480 Okay.

00:04:04.340 All right.

00:04:04.760 Because I think they just go like COVID and then, um, omitron, omicron, omicron, omicron.

00:04:11.180 It's been, um, how long it's been since we've talked about this.

00:04:14.240 Yeah.

00:04:14.400 You're onto like transformer names.

00:04:16.260 I know.

00:04:16.620 I like the Autobots and the omicrons.

00:04:18.760 Well, they are, they are, they are transformers.

00:04:21.140 And this one is transformed into something very, very, very, very deadly.

00:04:24.500 Now I started looking into the name, uh, of this, uh, Greek goddess, the, the, uh, one

00:04:31.520 that causes strife, which in Greek mythology, strife is wholesome for men.

00:04:41.320 Uh, she stirs the selfish, uh, the, the shift list to toil. 0.97

00:04:48.360 Okay.

00:04:48.960 So in other words, the strife is good because it, uh, it causes you to work.

00:04:55.980 Okay.

00:04:56.780 Causes you to, you know, do, okay, well, all right, maybe, I guess.

00:05:01.180 Why would, but, hmm.

00:05:02.640 And then the discord she sows, um, she is, um, she's great. 0.85

00:05:09.920 She has her, her feet on the ground and her head in the heavens. 0.61

00:05:14.600 So she knows what's best when she sows discord. 1.00

00:05:19.920 Okay.

00:05:20.540 Now this is also, uh, a goddess came from the 1950s, a couple of Americans who started

00:05:27.700 the discordian religion.

00:05:30.500 Uh, and, uh, this is from their, I guess their religious book.

00:05:35.080 One day Malto asked Eris if she really created all those terrible things.

00:05:39.160 She told him that she always had liked the old Greeks, but they can't be trusted with 1.00

00:05:45.360 historic matters.

00:05:46.660 Uh, suffice to say that Eris is not hateful or malicious, but she is mischievous. 0.94

00:05:55.560 She does get quote, a little bitchy at times. 1.00

00:05:58.360 The story of Eris being snubbed and indirectly starting the Trojan war is recorded in blah,

00:06:04.660 blah, blah, referred to as the original snub.

00:06:08.100 She's the goddess of disorder and being, uh, discordian Eris is looked upon as the foil to

00:06:17.640 the preoccupation of Western philosophy in attempting to find order in the chaos of reality.

00:06:24.580 She also is the bringer of chaos. 0.99

00:06:30.540 Hmm.

00:06:31.720 Uh, let's see.

00:06:33.380 Discordian Eris teaches us that only truth is chaos and that order and disorder are simply

00:06:42.240 temporary filters applied to the lenses.

00:06:44.920 So the god of discord, AKA chaos, huh?

00:06:56.820 Sorry.

00:06:57.660 God S her pronouns are her. 0.93

00:07:00.980 She me it God. 1.00

00:07:06.360 Anyway, that's a fascinating.

00:07:08.640 I have to say, I saw the story on the new COVID variant and did not even consider clicking

00:07:14.000 on it.

00:07:14.680 So I see, this is why we're a good team.

00:07:16.380 You did the investigation on this one.

00:07:18.420 I did not.

00:07:19.300 I just find it interesting.

00:07:20.360 I'm going to do more investigation on this.

00:07:22.520 I want to read some more on this, but I find it, I just find it fascinating because these

00:07:27.140 names just don't come out.

00:07:28.160 They're not spit out by a computer right now.

00:07:30.480 They weren't, they were doing the Greek alphabet.

00:07:32.320 Okay.

00:07:32.660 You're just, they're just labeling it by they're going in order, right?

00:07:35.640 That's what it seemed like.

00:07:36.560 And now all of a sudden they've just, I don't remember a story.

00:07:39.720 I can't, maybe I just didn't click on it, but I don't remember a story about, Hey, we're

00:07:42.640 changing this to a God names.

00:07:45.520 We're just, we're going to switch this up by mythology.

00:07:47.840 We're going into that now.

00:07:49.920 Omicron or crom or whatever.

00:07:51.960 Yeah.

00:07:52.200 It was, yeah, it was in the Greek alphabet, right?

00:07:54.520 Yeah.

00:07:54.680 It was, it's like, uh, I don't know one, I don't know mid midway through.

00:07:58.280 Or so.

00:07:58.840 Okay.

00:07:59.040 But is it a Greek God or goddess?

00:08:01.440 What is Omicron?

00:08:02.220 Yeah.

00:08:03.060 Where did it come from?

00:08:03.960 Yeah.

00:08:05.520 I mean, I don't know.

00:08:06.460 It was just in the, I'll say Omicron.

00:08:08.680 I don't know.

00:08:09.400 I don't remember.

00:08:10.120 Again, I don't remember naming the diseases after Greek gods.

00:08:14.800 No, they were, they were definitely going.

00:08:16.680 I mean, a hundred percent.

00:08:17.880 I'm sure they were going through the Greek alphabet.

00:08:19.620 I mean, we remember alpha, beta, gamma, uh, Delta.

00:08:23.420 Remember the Delta variant?

00:08:24.520 Yeah.

00:08:24.540 And that's, that's not a God.

00:08:25.640 That's just, that's, these are letters.

00:08:27.420 Yeah.

00:08:27.700 That's what it was.

00:08:28.540 Epsilon would be E.

00:08:29.520 Now, I don't remember them getting past the end.

00:08:32.720 I mean, after, you know, you've got, I don't remember the Omega variant.

00:08:35.780 Do we have an Omega variant?

00:08:36.880 Did they get to the end?

00:08:37.740 No.

00:08:37.800 Maybe I just wasn't paying, again, it's possible I wasn't paying close enough attention to this.

00:08:40.940 Maybe they had all these variants and I missed it.

00:08:42.500 But my understanding was the process was they only used a Greek alphabet letter when it became a variant of concern, which was some level of like, okay, this is going to blow up.

00:08:54.080 I remember when the Omicron thing started and it was in South Africa and it was like, hey, this one looks like it's going to make some noise.

00:09:01.320 And it went through that process and all of a sudden it was like, okay, this one's going to be everywhere.

00:09:05.020 And then it was, um, and they used Omicron, but I don't remember another, since then, I don't remember another alphabet letter coming out as being a big variant of concern.

00:09:15.140 I don't remember any of that.

00:09:16.280 I don't either.

00:09:16.800 Maybe it happened.

00:09:18.220 Maybe it happened.

00:09:19.060 Maybe, you know, maybe we got to Zeus and we're like, okay, what are we going to do now?

00:09:23.820 Got to start all over.

00:09:25.260 I don't know.

00:09:26.420 Maybe.

00:09:26.920 I don't know.

00:09:27.540 I don't know.

00:09:28.340 But I like, are you, maybe I'm in the minority here, but are you completely past reading news stories about COVID?

00:09:35.660 Like I'm totally past it.

00:09:36.900 Oh, I'm only reading them because of their evil nature.

00:09:40.060 Like you're just talking about, I know you're interested in why is this named this.

00:09:43.320 Yeah, I'm just, I mean, they always leave breadcrumbs.

00:09:46.560 They always leave breadcrumbs.

00:09:48.160 So when I saw Eris, I thought, what is, what is Eris?

00:09:51.660 Looked it up.

00:09:52.480 Oh, Greek God of discourse, chaos. 1.00

00:09:57.280 Uh, and, uh, what was the other one?

00:09:59.480 Strife.

00:10:00.260 Oh, okay.

00:10:01.760 Oh, well, I like that.

00:10:03.300 I mean, I'm a good 18 months at least past caring about COVID in any way.

00:10:09.780 Other than the fact that like, I'm interested, like, Hey, our response to it seemed like a little bit of a problem.

00:10:16.000 Um, maybe we should make sure we don't do that again.

00:10:18.480 That is the extent of my interest in COVID.

00:10:21.280 Like I, that is it.

00:10:22.360 I don't have, I don't care about any of the other stuff.

00:10:26.000 Like this is the flu.

00:10:27.860 We'll all be wiped out.

00:10:28.940 I'm sure.

00:10:29.480 And we'll all die in a, in a fiery COVID fat, you know, crash of some sort.

00:10:33.860 But I just, I am, I'm well beyond, like, I saw there was a story today that there is a small college somewhere that's in Atlanta that's re-implementing the masks.

00:10:45.600 And it's like, can you imagine being on that staff?

00:10:48.460 Like, what are you, what are you talking about?

00:10:50.560 We're putting masks on now?

00:10:51.920 Maybe the, the college is so crazy that this is par for the course for them.

00:10:55.980 But like, you just think, wait, what, what year are we in?

00:10:59.480 Did we get a flux capacitor?

00:11:00.940 What, what's going on here?

00:11:02.520 Like, I, I got.

00:11:03.860 Even the flux capacitor seems outdated like the masks.

00:11:08.080 Yes, it does.

00:11:09.660 Hey, like, we're.

00:11:10.440 We're going back to 1988?

00:11:12.520 Yeah.

00:11:13.000 I just, no, we're all, we've, we, that was a thing.

00:11:16.480 And it was, and now it's not a thing anymore.

00:11:18.600 Yeah.

00:11:18.900 And like, look, individuals are going to have to deal with this in the way that they do.

00:11:24.240 If you're a person who has risk and you see a new variant, like, maybe you should stay away from people for a little bit.

00:11:29.380 But like, that's on you.

00:11:30.940 This is how it should have been from the beginning.

00:11:33.020 It's on you.

00:11:34.200 Does anybody really actually think?

00:11:36.640 I mean, is there anyone with the sound of my voice?

00:11:40.060 It's like, oh, I got to get a mask.

00:11:42.280 I can't imagine.

00:11:43.000 I mean, I would think if I were like, let's say you had a, an immune, a real serious immune problem.

00:11:49.280 If I'm really, you're seeing this pop up again, you might think to yourself, you know what?

00:11:52.660 I'm not going to that concert.

00:11:54.380 You know, I'm going to stay, I'm going to stay away.

00:11:56.260 I'm going to, I'm not going to that indoor meeting where everyone's going to be talking that I was thinking about.

00:12:01.380 I might consider that if I was really vulnerable.

00:12:03.480 I only have like one 11th of a lung left from lung cancer.

00:12:07.940 Then I'm like, I'm not going.

00:12:10.840 That's the type of level I'm talking about.

00:12:12.340 Like if you are really vulnerable and like I get COVID and I could absolutely die from it.

00:12:16.580 And look, people, look, this is something that is real.

00:12:19.560 People are still dying from the complications of this.

00:12:22.260 It does happen.

00:12:23.020 It's just, it's not a societal interest and individual interest are two different things.

00:12:28.740 And when you talk about societal interest, you're talking about some large policy that covers millions and millions of people.

00:12:35.200 That's different than a decision you make for yourself.

00:12:38.320 So Stu, we do know that hospitalizations are up 60%.

00:12:42.740 60%.

00:12:43.500 Yeah.

00:12:43.820 From what?

00:12:44.720 Hmm?

00:12:45.420 60% from the lowest we've ever had.

00:12:47.760 I don't know, just 60%.

00:12:48.900 Right.

00:12:49.440 Like, this is, should I bring in the relative versus absolute risk police squad here to say,

00:12:56.960 every time you hear a number like that, ask yourself, is this relative or absolute risk?

00:13:02.500 It's an incredibly important question.

00:13:04.500 And when it's relative risk, most of the time it means nothing.

00:13:08.260 Hey, it went from 0.1 to 0.3.

00:13:11.220 That's a, that's tripled.

00:13:13.540 What, what tripled means what in this scenario?

00:13:16.760 A very small risk has gotten slightly larger.

00:13:19.780 That means nothing to most people.

00:13:21.320 And what is the other one?

00:13:22.900 Absolute risk.

00:13:23.860 Okay.

00:13:24.040 If you have a 30% chance of dying, that's a real important thing to know.

00:13:29.380 If you have a 30% increase, an increase of what?

00:13:33.040 That's a relative risk question.

00:13:34.940 And when you have a relative risk question, it's a, it's usually, it's a scare tactic

00:13:39.800 by the media to look at some, you know, slight increase under a small subpopulation to terrify

00:13:47.380 you on the news.

00:13:48.120 All I know is the federal government has started purchasing COVID-19 equipment and hiring advisors

00:13:53.420 on safety protocols.

00:13:55.640 This is already happening.

00:13:57.500 Department of Defense, millions of taxpayer funds being used to purchase COVID-19 equipment,

00:14:02.700 such as test kits, some of the contracts, which are traceable via the federal government

00:14:08.040 spending database scheduled to begin next month or October.

00:14:14.880 And, uh, we're just spending money hand over fist because we know we're going to need this

00:14:21.600 to fight the flu.

00:14:23.480 Now, this is what this is.

00:14:25.660 They say, oh, it's, it's much more aggressive.

00:14:27.860 It's much more aggressive.

00:14:29.040 It spreads so much easier.

00:14:30.420 Of course it does.

00:14:32.340 That's what happens over time.

00:14:35.020 It becomes less deadly and more virile.

00:14:39.140 That's what happens.

00:14:40.740 That's why we have the flu.

00:14:43.240 The flu we have today, the one they changed for every year is just like, is this is a variant

00:14:50.340 of the Spanish flu.

00:14:52.160 We don't all freak out every year.

00:14:54.480 Right.

00:14:54.740 And that's, I look, I think that's where most people are.

00:14:58.660 I think that the media is going to make their big deal of this.

00:15:01.320 Some people will lose their mind, I'm sure.

00:15:04.420 But the bottom line is like COVID was a totally different scenario when none of us had any

00:15:08.820 immunity to it.

00:15:10.360 Every person in the country has some level of immunity to it basically at this point.

00:15:15.100 Right.

00:15:15.640 So once you get to that point, your body has an ability to fight back.

00:15:19.660 It doesn't mean it always wins, but it didn't always win against the flu either.

00:15:23.760 It turns into something that we can actually deal with.

00:15:26.620 Well, take it from a grandma killer, I guess, or you can listen to the guy who's been on

00:15:35.540 the Maui situation from day one.

00:15:39.680 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:42.160 My father said, if we lie to one another, we don't have a family.

00:15:48.220 And so, you know, honesty is always the best policy.

00:15:52.060 So let me just, let me come out from behind this throne of lies on which I sit and tell

00:16:01.120 you that I haven't really been following the Senator Tommy Tuberville thing.

00:16:06.300 Uh, I, I said in a meeting last week with my producers, I think this is good, right?

00:16:14.460 I mean, I know that he's trying to stop the money going to the military for abortions, or

00:16:23.120 is he just asking for clarification?

00:16:26.240 I'm not sure, but I know the left is really pissed off at him and that kind of makes me

00:16:32.600 happy.

00:16:33.000 Uh, and, and it looks like it is, I'm like, I can't say it's successful because we don't

00:16:39.680 have an ending to it yet, but this is the first time I've seen somebody do something

00:16:44.020 like this and just not get a brick thrown at their head by everybody.

00:16:49.060 And so I wanted Tommy to come on and I apologize, but I'm, I'm watching other things, uh, and

00:16:55.600 just explain where we are in this campaign.

00:16:59.100 Senator, how are you, sir?

00:17:00.320 Good morning, Glenn.

00:17:02.940 And don't worry about that.

00:17:04.000 There's a lot of important things going on.

00:17:06.120 I know.

00:17:06.500 And this isn't the world.

00:17:07.940 And not to say that this isn't, I just haven't, I just haven't, it's constantly on my radar,

00:17:13.360 but over off on a corner and I keep hearing about it.

00:17:16.620 And I think it's been going on for like a year, hasn't it?

00:17:20.160 Well, it started about, it started in July last year.

00:17:22.840 I heard they were going to change the military, uh, abortion policy, which was passed in 1985

00:17:28.440 by the Democrats and Joe Biden, that you can only do abortion in the military, but, uh,

00:17:33.660 but because of the three exceptions and I heard they were going to change that after Roe Wade,

00:17:38.360 they won't put everybody that's a federal employee on some kind of abortion policy. 0.82

00:17:42.020 And, and, uh, so it took me about four months, Glenn, to get a briefing.

00:17:46.280 I got a briefing and then I told secretary, I'll say, no, no, no, no, we're not going to

00:17:50.360 charge the American taxpayers for travel, for abortion, for military.

00:17:54.140 That's not going to happen.

00:17:55.100 If you do that, I'm going to hold your generals and admirals, well, too much later in, uh,

00:17:59.620 February of this year.

00:18:00.780 So it's, I guess it's been about seven months, uh, I put a hold and that's the only power

00:18:05.420 Glenn is a Senator.

00:18:06.800 If you're in the minority, that's really the only power that you have.

00:18:09.780 And so I put a hold on and, uh, they've, they've came after me, but, uh, I'm not changing

00:18:16.240 my mind.

00:18:16.960 I mean, I'm right.

00:18:18.220 I'm right.

00:18:19.040 So, you know, it's, what's crazy here is that, you know, we have, I think we have 44

00:18:24.760 four-star generals right now in world war two.

00:18:28.760 We had seven, seven, I mean, what, who's printing up four-star generals?

00:18:34.960 Why do we need all of these?

00:18:36.440 I mean, I have no problem with something like this.

00:18:39.500 And I, I, it's clear that nobody doing anything knows this is a losing battle for their side.

00:18:47.080 Nobody's going to say, oh, you know what?

00:18:49.180 We need to promote those guys. 0.98

00:18:50.960 I have no problem with promotions, but not if you're out of control, completely out of

00:18:55.680 control.

00:18:56.160 Yeah.

00:18:58.640 Well, for your audience, here's what happens.

00:19:00.620 Uh, they bring the general admirals and, uh, to the floor, not basically not to the floor.

00:19:06.460 They do, we do it off the floor and we confirm three or 400 at a time.

00:19:11.180 And, uh, instead of voting on them individually, now to me, generals and admirals are very important.

00:19:16.240 Obviously we need to understand whether they can do the job or not do the job.

00:19:19.900 As you said, we had seven back in world war two, now 44 and rising, uh, the Pentagon is

00:19:25.680 bulging at the seams.

00:19:27.200 Uh, they're all driving around in black SUVs.

00:19:29.820 And, and you got to remember this too, Glenn, uh, a general, a four-star basically has a budget,

00:19:36.640 uh, and people working around him of five, 600 million a year.

00:19:41.300 Oh my gosh.

00:19:42.720 Oh my gosh.

00:19:44.300 And so, uh, uh, the joint chiefs of staff chairman, for instance, uh, Mark Milley, who it is right

00:19:50.820 now, his budget is something like 300 million and has 4,600 employees.

00:19:55.400 What the heck, uh, do we need that many people working for, uh, the joint chiefs of staff?

00:20:02.660 It's, it's, it makes no sense.

00:20:03.880 We need war fighters.

00:20:04.960 You know, listen, I'm a military person and I hate them doing this.

00:20:07.800 My dad died on active duty.

00:20:09.500 He was career military.

00:20:10.920 Uh, I was a military brat.

00:20:12.780 Uh, you know, we traveled and, and, uh, you know, there's nothing more important Glenn in

00:20:17.580 our country than a great military, but let me tell you something.

00:20:21.280 We're headed South.

00:20:22.280 A whole country's headed South, but if we lose our military and our spot in world, uh,

00:20:28.000 national security, it's going to be over for us.

00:20:31.360 Well, I think we, I think we're headed that direction with what we're doing in, um, Ukraine

00:20:37.860 with these people in the Pentagon.

00:20:40.640 I have, I mean, I, I'm sure you saw what Mark Milley said yesterday.

00:20:45.080 Okay.

00:20:45.600 So we had a handful of drag queen shows.

00:20:48.340 That doesn't mean we went woke.

00:20:50.200 Uh, I have a problem with the first part of that sentence.

00:20:54.960 Okay.

00:20:55.400 We had a, a handful of drag queen shows.

00:20:58.680 What, I mean, what are they concentrating on?

00:21:03.520 Yeah.

00:21:04.360 Well, Glenn, I'll tell you, I've taken, I've had the opportunity now to, to look at all

00:21:08.500 these generals and admirals.

00:21:09.740 And we started in February with one and it went to 10 and 50, then 75, we're up to 300

00:21:15.820 now.

00:21:16.240 And it'll probably be closer to 600 at the end of the year.

00:21:19.220 Now, again, telling the people out there, listen, I am, I cannot hold these people up.

00:21:23.800 They can bring them to the floor one at a time and confirm them.

00:21:27.360 I can't do that, but I can hold all of them being said, okay, we're just going to pass you

00:21:31.780 on by.

00:21:32.160 That's what I'm doing.

00:21:32.980 And so Schumer, he didn't want to bring it to the floor because he will admit guilt, uh,

00:21:37.740 bringing them one at a time.

00:21:39.720 But the thing of the thing about, about all this is just absolutely amazing.

00:21:44.420 Uh, after looking at each one of these generals and admirals, how woke a lot of these people

00:21:49.540 are, I mean, the things that they teach and that they want to teach.

00:21:52.460 I mean, as I tell general Austin and Millie in hearings face to face, uh, out in public,

00:21:59.360 we don't need to educate our young men and women in the military in terms of anything,

00:22:05.540 but a killing machine, because people have to fear us and they don't fear us right now

00:22:11.300 because all we're doing is we're teaching DEI, this wokeism, drag Queens.

00:22:16.160 Uh, now a lot of these, uh, so-called young men or women are getting in the military so they

00:22:21.380 can have their transition paid for by the taxpayers.

00:22:24.680 What in the hell are we doing?

00:22:27.240 So what is your hope that, I mean, if we're passing them one by one, are you hoping that

00:22:34.200 the Americans will eventually do what I did and go, what is this really all about?

00:22:38.660 What are we doing here?

00:22:40.320 Yeah.

00:22:41.000 Hey, well, I want to be brought to the floor where all my colleagues, not just on the left,

00:22:45.280 but also on the right, look at this person that we're confirming and going, wait a minute,

00:22:48.700 uh, look at the books that this, this person has, has, has written, or look at the things

00:22:54.840 that they've taught, uh, and as a one star or a two star, uh, again, we've got to get

00:23:00.900 back to having more people that the people that actually do the war fighting or the, or

00:23:06.560 the second lieutenants, the captains, the sergeants, uh, the people that train these people.

00:23:12.660 It's not the generals and the admirals.

00:23:14.440 These are politicians.

00:23:15.400 That's all they are.

00:23:16.320 And I, I was hoping when I got to DC three years ago that I wouldn't recognize that,

00:23:21.120 uh, that, that there are actually, our military was, was bipartisan.

00:23:25.040 It wasn't politics.

00:23:26.000 It was all about, Hey, protecting the United States and its allies that we're far from

00:23:31.260 that.

00:23:31.560 I mean, this is, it's going, we're going overboard.

00:23:34.420 And this Ukraine war is just, just brought more out.

00:23:37.020 I haven't voted for a dime for the Ukraine. 0.67

00:23:39.120 Now, listen, I hope they win.

00:23:40.540 I was in Ukraine three months before this started.

00:23:42.840 And Zelensky looked me now and says, the only way we can stop this is y'all give us

00:23:47.300 weapons and put on and let, and let, uh, Putin see what, that you're going to back us.

00:23:52.660 Well, of course he, we didn't do that.

00:23:54.560 Joe Biden was asleep at the wheel.

00:23:55.980 He'd had a two minute conversation with Putin and look how many hundreds of thousands of

00:24:00.540 people that, uh, Joe Biden has gotten killed, uh, because of this.

00:24:03.860 And, uh, I hate it for the Ukrainian people.

00:24:07.000 And I've said this, uh, and I've, I've taken a lot of flack for it.

00:24:10.400 It's kind of like a junior high playing against a college football team.

00:24:13.680 Uh, they can't win.

00:24:15.520 I don't, I don't care what we give them unless we go over there and help them fight.

00:24:19.080 Um, we, they can't win.

00:24:20.580 And we're not going to do that on my watch.

00:24:22.420 Hopefully.

00:24:22.900 I don't, I don't know whether I could stop it or not, but I'll be, uh, outspoken about it.

00:24:27.640 Well, I will, I will tell you this.

00:24:29.020 I know there's a ton of people that feel like I do, uh, you draft my son, my son, I'm

00:24:35.980 personally moving him.

00:24:37.860 Well, not to Canada.

00:24:38.620 I don't know.

00:24:39.560 Some place, uh, away from the reach of the military.

00:24:43.700 I will not support.

00:24:45.600 I will not let my family, my children support a war with in Ukraine with Russia.

00:24:52.200 We have no reason to be there.

00:24:55.300 We have funneled so much money.

00:24:57.640 And I believe, I believe probably at least 50% of that has gone into dark money.

00:25:04.380 It's just gone.

00:25:06.300 Uh, no, thanks.

00:25:07.380 Not going to do it.

00:25:08.360 Not going to do it.

00:25:10.040 Yeah.

00:25:10.520 Well, what, what your audience ought to understand too is, you know, if when there's a national

00:25:15.760 disaster, you know, the next thing that's going to happen is the national disaster is

00:25:19.960 going to get very little money.

00:25:21.000 A lot of money is going to go to Ukraine.

00:25:22.800 The problem that people don't understand is we don't have anything to sell them right now.

00:25:27.520 We don't have anything to give them because we're out.

00:25:29.340 Even Joe Biden said we're out of munition.

00:25:31.020 Well, no kidding.

00:25:31.980 I mean, they've been shooting them at a, at as fast as they possibly can because they don't

00:25:36.620 have the people.

00:25:37.680 Uh, they don't have the people that Russia's got. 0.93

00:25:39.540 And so, uh, the money that we're sending now is going up to prop their, prop up their government

00:25:44.900 and prop up their, uh, pension system, uh, going, going in to keep their, uh, uh, the

00:25:50.920 country going because they don't have an economy right now.

00:25:53.880 Uh, it, we, they are the 51st state of the United States and we're sending all that money

00:25:59.360 there.

00:25:59.620 And when we're imploding within our borders, uh, the things that are going on in our country,

00:26:04.440 which is in year in my lifetime, Glenn, it's the worst you and I have ever seen.

00:26:08.640 And it's getting worse.

00:26:10.480 Do you, are you hopeful?

00:26:14.700 Yeah, I'm hopeful because I believe in this country, you and I had an opportunity to grow

00:26:19.320 up in something that was very special after world war II, the growth and the building of

00:26:23.700 our country.

00:26:24.280 And, and, uh, but you know, since the nineties and Clinton's NAFTA and all that, we've sent

00:26:28.560 all of our manufacturing out.

00:26:30.080 I've seen our education and I talked to you before about the, our education systems turned

00:26:34.460 into, yeah, not an educational institution.

00:26:37.240 It's turned into a social institution.

00:26:38.980 Yeah, it's indoctrination.

00:26:40.580 Yeah, exactly.

00:26:41.760 And it's just, um, it's sad to see it go this direction.

00:26:44.720 Uh, do we have to go to the bottom before we find out that, uh, the direction that we're

00:26:50.760 heading?

00:26:51.080 I hope not.

00:26:52.240 Uh, I, I, I just think that, and would hope and pray that there would be enough good people

00:26:57.560 in this country to step up and, and say, even on the left side, and I know there's people

00:27:02.120 on the left and I've talked to them about it, uh, senators all the time.

00:27:05.860 You can't believe this.

00:27:07.740 You can't believe what we're doing at the borders, right?

00:27:10.940 You can't do that.

00:27:11.900 I mean, and, and, and again, it all goes back to politics.

00:27:15.400 My God, stand up for your country.

00:27:17.640 This is not about Republican Democrat anymore.

00:27:20.220 This is about Americans versus anti-Americans.

00:27:23.280 They want to change this country and something that's not, you can't Glenn, you can't run a

00:27:28.140 world, not just our country, a world without fossil fuels.

00:27:31.600 It is impossible. 0.89

00:27:32.540 But these clowns are trying to convince people about this climate hoax that we've got to do 0.98

00:27:37.140 this, but we're going to implode. 0.96

00:27:38.520 No, we're going to implode because we're not going to have the facilities or the things

00:27:42.400 to do to keep up this country and keep this world going.

00:27:45.940 It has been good to talk to you.

00:27:47.920 Thank you so much.

00:27:49.260 Um, I appreciate all that you're doing and let us know how we can help.

00:27:53.860 All right, Glenn.

00:27:54.940 Stay tuned.

00:27:55.700 Thank you.

00:27:56.320 Appreciate it.

00:27:57.240 Senator, uh, Tommy Tuberville from Alabama.

00:28:00.560 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:28:09.960 Tomorrow night, the first Republican debate of the 2024 presidential primary season.

00:28:16.900 Blaze TV is going to give you the coverage that you need.

00:28:19.820 We're going to start, uh, with, uh, Sarah Gonzalez, Stu, Dave Landau, Steve Dace.

00:28:27.720 I'll be there as well tomorrow evening to provide live coverage.

00:28:31.840 We're doing a pre-show, uh, so you can get that right before the debate and then post-debate

00:28:38.800 analysis.

00:28:39.560 Of course, now Fox won't let anybody take any sound of it or anything.

00:28:44.800 So we're just going to be online.

00:28:47.760 Uh, we're going to be during the debate.

00:28:50.760 We'll be, uh, using the blaze TV chat.

00:28:54.480 So join us tomorrow for blaze TV's coverage of the debate.

00:28:59.400 So we've been talking about this song, uh, and, uh, and what it means.

00:29:04.960 And I think Stu and I are at the same place that there are a lot of people that are feeling

00:29:10.860 this way and they are blaming the government for things, but the government can make you

00:29:16.600 neither happy nor sad.

00:29:18.840 Uh, you know, I hate to, you know, man's search for meaning, but that is true.

00:29:26.040 And as a recovering alcoholic, I know it to be true.

00:29:29.800 You think that it's all of these other problems that are getting in your way.

00:29:34.160 And so you drink more and then it's these other problems and you drink more and it's

00:29:39.020 none of those things is that you have a, what someone described as a God shaped hole in

00:29:44.820 you.

00:29:45.060 And more and more people have this hole in them that they try to fill with fame or 0.94

00:29:52.240 fortune or, you know, likes follows all of this crap that our kids, the world is empty

00:30:00.900 and meaningless because we don't have something bigger than ourselves. 0.76

00:30:07.960 That's why the left is using climate change and everything else.

00:30:12.780 But you'll see all these people who have grown out of that climate change era of their life.

00:30:19.180 They're all finding it empty in the end because it is, it is, you have to have something bigger

00:30:27.400 than yourself and, uh, and everything we do now is about politics, fame, or fortune.

00:30:35.400 And that's not the country.

00:30:37.320 That's us.

00:30:39.200 That's not the politicians.

00:30:41.480 That's us.

00:30:43.100 The politicians aren't over turning my phone on and pressing the, you know, Instagram or

00:30:49.920 TikTok app in my hand.

00:30:53.000 We do.

00:30:54.460 We do.

00:30:55.760 Yeah.

00:30:56.180 And it just feels like we're kind of on a search for something man search for meaning.

00:31:01.000 Yeah.

00:31:01.220 I mean, we really are.

00:31:02.580 That's, that's, that's really happening.

00:31:04.180 I have a friend I've been talking to lately.

00:31:05.940 He's said, you know, I think people are searching for purpose.

00:31:09.740 Yeah.

00:31:10.180 And it's true. 0.56

00:31:10.900 Yeah.

00:31:11.660 And I don't think we don't know who to trust and where to find that larger meaning these

00:31:16.160 days.

00:31:16.640 Um, did you see that poll out from, uh, who did it about CBS?

00:31:21.600 I think CBS.

00:31:22.200 Yeah.

00:31:22.660 This is, we were talking about this earlier, um, and Stu asked me a question on this.

00:31:27.880 So let's just play this, play this back here on, on what the poll said.

00:31:31.700 The poll was, uh, who do you trust to tell you the truth?

00:31:34.800 Now think about that.

00:31:36.820 Who do you trust to tell the truth?

00:31:39.520 Yeah.

00:31:39.980 Now is this, were these answers prompted?

00:31:43.840 Uh, that's a good question.

00:31:45.560 I didn't try.

00:31:46.020 I, I think it was, I think there were options.

00:31:48.820 A list.

00:31:49.260 Yeah.

00:31:49.480 Options.

00:31:49.860 So who do you trust?

00:31:51.120 And the, the, uh, they gave a few options, uh, and the number, this was of Trump voters.

00:31:57.800 Okay.

00:31:58.680 Um, and they asked, who do you trust?

00:32:00.240 And they said, number one was Donald Trump, 71%.

00:32:03.200 The other options that weren't like Vivek Ramaswamy.

00:32:06.460 Yeah.

00:32:06.920 The other options were friends and family, which was second at 63%.

00:32:12.520 Except if you think of your friends and family, least I do.

00:32:16.220 I think of all my friends and family, ones that I don't believe have it down there.

00:32:22.840 They are not paying attention.

00:32:23.920 Sure.

00:32:24.320 I mean, yeah.

00:32:24.960 Then you have conservative media figures at 56% and religious leaders at 42%.

00:32:32.700 Wow.

00:32:33.520 And like, take, everyone gets so focused and the media did this constantly.

00:32:37.700 Oh, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.

00:32:39.200 Take Trump out of this for a second.

00:32:40.320 Put any politician in that position.

00:32:41.980 Like it's upside down.

00:32:46.200 If the, the person you tell that you think is going to tell you the truth is a politician,

00:32:50.400 right?

00:32:51.140 Or any, any person in that position, if it's, you know, religious leaders, for example, you

00:32:58.260 should be near the top of that list.

00:33:00.080 Or why are you going, why are you bothering blowing up your Sundays and not watching more

00:33:03.920 NFL football if you don't trust your own religious leaders, right?

00:33:09.220 There's no reason to go to church.

00:33:10.660 Maybe you should find a different church friends.

00:33:13.020 You could choose them.

00:33:14.320 Maybe find ones that you actually like and trust because, you know, look, any politician

00:33:19.640 should not be in the role of ultimate trust.

00:33:22.080 And that's certainly the reverse of where we were as a country at one point.

00:33:26.060 Okay.

00:33:26.200 He has earned his trust in a very strange way and a way I've never seen anybody earn it

00:33:32.860 before.

00:33:34.780 He, he doesn't always tell the truth and he knows that.

00:33:37.740 I mean, it's not like he's, he's not, he is a storyteller and he, it's like when people

00:33:46.160 said, don't take him literally, take him seriously.

00:33:50.200 So when he said, let's say, for instance, for instance, that you'll never convince me he

00:33:56.260 did not believe he lost that election.

00:33:59.720 He believes he won.

00:34:01.480 He won.

00:34:01.920 No way, shape or form at no time has that even crossed his mind that he lost that or lost

00:34:10.480 it fair and square.

00:34:11.300 So when he was on the phone call, you can look at it many different ways.

00:34:16.120 He's on the phone call in Georgia and he's like, look, we have 10,000 here.

00:34:21.640 We have 25,000 votes that I think are missing here.

00:34:24.640 We have 50,000.

00:34:26.400 You, all you have to do is find 11 and it changes everything.

00:34:30.640 And that is the context of the call.

00:34:32.060 Correct.

00:34:32.380 He's not saying go make up 11,000.

00:34:35.100 And he's saying all you, you don't have to do all 150,000 or whatever number he's presenting.

00:34:40.600 And I don't think he knew the truth that there were 150.

00:34:47.280 It's what he had been informed on and suspected, et cetera, et cetera.

00:34:53.200 And so he was throwing that out.

00:34:55.240 You have to take him for what is he saying?

00:34:58.200 He's saying the votes are not all in.

00:35:02.560 All of those votes that should have been counted or all of those votes that shouldn't have been

00:35:08.600 counted.

00:35:09.340 There's a problem here.

00:35:11.800 So go find what the truth is.

00:35:14.420 Yeah.

00:35:14.880 That's what he's saying.

00:35:16.000 And I think like there's a million examples of this, but like he obviously isn't always

00:35:21.520 telling the truth.

00:35:22.160 And you can know that because he says the exact opposite things for a very specific reason. 0.97

00:35:27.960 For example, I'm going to annihilate North Korea and Kim Jong-un. 0.79

00:35:34.220 Missiles are about to fire. 0.96

00:35:35.640 And then a week later, Kim Jong-un is a great friend.

00:35:38.260 We know those two things aren't true at the same time.

00:35:41.840 But they're not lies.

00:35:42.980 They're negotiations.

00:35:43.900 It's a negotiation tactic.

00:35:45.400 Like he's intentionally saying what he thinks will bring him to the next best option down

00:35:52.420 the road, whatever he thinks will advance his particular situation he's thinking at that

00:35:56.600 moment because he's a negotiator, right?

00:35:58.740 He talks about this in his book.

00:36:00.160 Here's how he gained his credibility.

00:36:02.600 And I've never seen anybody gain it this way before.

00:36:04.960 He gained it because he did some really big things when he was president.

00:36:09.540 Really big.

00:36:10.300 Sure.

00:36:10.600 That I'm not sure any other Republican would have done.

00:36:14.000 Jerusalem comes up. 0.56

00:36:15.140 Yeah.

00:36:15.500 To the top of the mind.

00:36:16.360 He did a lot of those things.

00:36:17.540 So he gained credibility on like, hey, you did that.

00:36:20.280 You did that.

00:36:21.640 Now, where's the rest of this when you would say how many people?

00:36:25.760 What is it?

00:36:26.200 Seven, 71, 71 percent.

00:36:28.480 Wow, that's high.

00:36:29.460 But they're Trump supporters.

00:36:30.680 Yep.

00:36:30.900 Who do you trust?

00:36:31.740 The reason why I think people trust him is because he's earned it by his enemies.

00:36:40.300 Yeah.

00:36:40.820 They feel as though he is right.

00:36:43.720 People hate him.

00:36:44.440 The right people hate him.

00:36:45.760 Not just hate him.

00:36:47.540 They've done everything they can to destroy him.

00:36:51.280 There's only two reasons you would keep fighting at this point.

00:36:56.160 Either you believe it in your soul.

00:37:01.220 Or you just can't let go.

00:37:03.700 And I think both of those are true.

00:37:06.360 Both of those are true with Donald Trump.

00:37:08.760 You don't have anything to gain here.

00:37:11.520 What do you have to gain?

00:37:12.440 Yeah, because he probably isn't charged with all these crimes if he's not running.

00:37:15.620 I mean, I think that's clear.

00:37:16.660 If he would have said, I'm out, I'm done.

00:37:18.380 No way.

00:37:19.160 They wouldn't have bothered.

00:37:20.520 I mean, they went those two years almost giving him an option.

00:37:23.180 Hey, don't run and maybe this won't happen.

00:37:25.260 So here's the important thing.

00:37:26.560 I have always said that I really just didn't believe.

00:37:30.800 I thought that putting Donald Trump in jail is the icing on the cake.

00:37:36.380 Okay.

00:37:37.020 They need to bring Donald Trump down to Biden's corruption level.

00:37:42.380 Okay.

00:37:43.020 So when you have Biden being charged with all these things and you have his main competitor

00:37:48.540 not charged with anything, it's pretty easy.

00:37:51.160 Pretty easy to see good guy, bad guy.

00:37:53.520 But if they flood the system with this guy's a criminal needs to go to jail.

00:37:58.260 Now you've brought Donald Trump or the opposing guy down to the same level where they're leveling

00:38:04.300 the same charges back and forth.

00:38:06.880 That's what they're doing.

00:38:07.940 And I've never really thought I thought it was just icing on the cake.

00:38:12.380 If he actually does go to jail until Stu, we were talking about this poll and you said

00:38:19.920 what I was talking about how, okay, 71% of people may trust him more than their friends

00:38:24.940 and family and, and, and the religious leaders.

00:38:27.300 How do you beat a guy like that? 0.88

00:38:28.660 Like you can beat up on DeSantis's campaign and say it hasn't been perfect, but like, is

00:38:33.100 someone like that beatable at all?

00:38:35.540 No.

00:38:35.960 Right.

00:38:36.160 Really difficult to beat someone who's trusted like that.

00:38:39.500 And then I said, and what happens to America when they put that guy who's trusted at that

00:38:48.040 level in prison?

00:38:50.600 And that's the question that made me change my mind.

00:38:57.600 I know exactly what happens when you put a guy like that in prison, you have chaos and

00:39:05.920 chaos is all they care about simply chaos.

00:39:11.520 Let's end this podcast where we started this podcast.

00:39:15.300 I told you that there's new COVID, um, new COVID vaccines on the way they're talking about.

00:39:21.880 Maybe we should lock down schools.

00:39:23.260 There's a school in Atlanta that's starting to do it.

00:39:25.520 Yada, yada, yada, yada.

00:39:26.680 And I've heard all of this and you've heard all of this, but the one thing I hadn't heard,

00:39:33.020 uh, was the explanation of the name of this particular, uh, line of COVID.

00:39:42.500 Was it Eris?

00:39:44.860 Which is, uh, from mythology, the, the God of goddess.

00:39:50.900 So it is Eris, the goddess of, of, hang on just a second.

00:39:57.680 I wrote it down, strife, discord, and chaos.

00:40:05.220 What did I say 20 years ago?

00:40:09.120 When we enter these times, it's always going to be about chaos.

00:40:15.500 Chaos will be the operative word.

00:40:18.780 Everything will be about chaos.

00:40:20.720 They name this COVID that, uh, this COVID strain after the God of chaos.

00:40:33.060 They want to put them in jail. 0.94

00:40:34.820 You're damn right. 0.90

00:40:35.780 They do.

00:40:36.540 Why?

00:40:37.140 Because it will cause chaos.

00:40:43.340 The author of all lies and author of all chaos.

00:40:48.660 We know who that is.

00:40:50.720 Take your stuff and get as far away from chaos as you possibly can.

00:41:00.420 Then stand because it will grow and it will sweep everywhere unless we stand and stand together.

00:41:10.940 Na, na, na, na.
