00:00:00.000
hey welcome to the monday podcast why does the biden administration want to track your bank
00:00:05.000
account we start there also with a look at inflation and what is coming then the um the
00:00:11.140
president says the real problem with the slowdown is trucks there's just not enough truckers well
00:00:16.520
we talked to the independent truckers association and uh they say that's not true they explain the
00:00:24.220
problem uh with the supply chain also uh we talked to uh two people that work at 3m there was a
00:00:35.300
protest today at 3m people are saying i am not going to get the vaccine in fact one guy on the
00:00:43.580
phone with us from 3m says i already got the vaccine but i'm standing with people saying they
00:00:49.400
shouldn't ever have to take it against their will but the cdc has announced there's going to be a new
00:00:56.320
education and uh and psychiatric counseling coming a new plan that they have yet to unveil
00:01:03.920
uh that will help all of us and finally on today's program alcoholics will save america the the the
00:01:14.880
reason why a a should be applied to today's problems in america and the white house's national
00:01:23.760
strategy on gender equity and equality and my truth that follows
00:01:31.000
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:01:42.920
all right so i i want to talk to you about that choice first of all remember if you believe
00:01:55.480
barack obama uh i am just doing all these things to hype my ratings i'm telling you there is nothing
00:02:04.400
that i would like to do less than this to tell you the truth and to tell you what
00:02:12.840
is coming your way it is really important that you change your um your status uh as somebody who
00:02:24.000
is casually watching the news to somebody who is really paying attention and preparing for what is
00:02:30.740
coming today is a really important show that if you have the time listen to all of it today uh there
00:02:38.340
is so much information i could go for seven hours today i've left so much off the table
00:02:43.160
i want to start with how the middle class is being helped by joe biden the world bank sees quote
00:02:53.040
significant inflation risk from high energy prices energy prices are expected to inch up next year
00:03:02.240
after surging more than 80 percent this year they're expecting it to go higher fueling significant near-term
00:03:12.960
risks to global inflation so it has gone up 80 percent why well they say that it is a breakdown
00:03:22.560
of the system of importing all of the oil so any country that is importing oil is facing 80 percent
00:03:34.720
increase in the price of oil and more next year well let me just say we weren't importing any oil
00:03:44.260
oil we were exporting as of december of this last year in january joe biden stopped all of that so now we are
00:03:59.400
importing oil so the middle class family if you are struggling just to count your pennies at the gas
00:04:07.040
station there is only one place to put that blame and that is on joe biden and his administration
00:04:16.200
his administration wants to get us off of fossil fuels so they are stopping all production of fossil
00:04:24.040
fuels here in america and making us energy dependent in the middle east so you have inflation but don't
00:04:34.200
worry they say that it's not going to be horrible i mean after all the giant corporations didn't blink
00:04:41.700
on friday uh jerome powell who runs the fed uh speaking at a bank for international settlements
00:04:49.720
conference he said the supply chain bottlenecks have caused the recent wave of inflation are likely to
00:04:55.840
last last well into the next year he said he could raise interest rates two times next year
00:05:04.200
in an effort to tame pricing pressures even with that said the dow the stock market hit an all-time high
00:05:15.480
on friday with them saying the breakdown of of the uh supply chain and the problem with inflation
00:05:27.740
and we're going to raise interest rates twice next year somehow or another the giant corporations
00:05:35.560
just did really well this is where you come in you must pay attention do not believe there is no sanity
00:05:49.440
anymore anymore in the market it is not connected to reality at all by the way um china is now on the brink
00:06:03.240
of absolute chaos they are where we were in 2008 except their problem is much worse than it was in 2008 for us
00:06:15.280
if they don't bail their people out there's going to be revolutions in china if they just let it go
00:06:25.680
they're going to have a real breakdown of their system it is exactly what we went through in 2008
00:06:34.340
do you think that's going to make your life better or worse
00:06:39.780
do you think that your products that you go out and buy are going to be more plentiful
00:06:49.080
or less plentiful when we have to develop yet another booster shot
00:06:55.740
are we doing it or are we waiting for china to do it when they say build back better
00:07:04.100
they are not building anything that is actually helping the stability and the long-term future for
00:07:12.700
the united states of america they are destroying our ability to be independent energy wise independent
00:07:20.080
medically uh speaking uh all our vaccines and everything else 99 of them are made over in china
00:07:28.160
why aren't we investing in that if we want to invest in building our country okay then why are we investing
00:07:40.960
this is a destruction of our country and it is coming the federal reserve has now even said that
00:07:53.620
the vaccine mandates are hurting employment numbers uh let me give you the cdc director
00:08:00.360
um do we have this we have this cut here uh from the cdc director yeah cut two please
00:08:08.520
we have seen that these mandates are getting more and more people vaccinated here's what we know
00:08:13.940
the most disruptive thing that you can do to a workforce is to have a covid outbreak in that workforce that
00:08:20.760
will most definitely not only send people home but it will send people to the hospital and some may pass
00:08:25.720
what we know from the police workforce is that there have been more deaths from the coronavirus
00:08:30.680
over the last year and a half than all other causes of death for that workforce combined so we believe
00:08:37.360
it is very important to get these people vaccinated there is a plan should these people not want to be
00:08:44.340
vaccinated towards education and counseling to get people the information they need so that they are
00:08:50.440
feeling comfortable in getting stop for just a second so now if you decide you don't want the vaccine
00:08:57.080
now the government will force you into counseling which means you now are a psychiatric patient
00:09:05.120
there is something psychologically wrong with you so they will provide psychiatric counseling
00:09:12.920
for your mental health uh gee i man i i'm a little uncomfortable but that's not all they will also
00:09:26.140
educate you i like to call it re-education because that's exactly what it is there is a plan
00:09:36.680
is there anybody in the media asking to see that plan today by the way they also said that the definition
00:09:47.400
of vaccines or fully vaccinated is going to change because there are more booster shots along the way
00:09:54.740
so if you believe that vaccine mandates are good they're never going to stop if you want a vaccine
00:10:05.440
passport you will constantly be putting into your body exactly what the federal government says you must do
00:10:14.540
and this is all this is all backed up by anthony fauci
00:10:25.040
we're going to get into him next hour i'm going to take a one minute break and then i'm going to come
00:10:33.360
back to you and talk to you about your economy and and why the federal government is no matter what
00:10:43.640
anybody says the most pushback on anything in the uh the build back better bill
00:10:51.540
is the 600 or 10 000 spy limit for the irs it's important that you and your friends understand why that is
00:11:05.840
happening because they are strengthening it they just did in a memo on friday from the white house
00:11:22.880
joining me now are two two people that have a story to tell about something that i believe is
00:11:37.160
what's happening today aaron gonzalez and michael fraser are joining us
00:11:42.000
aaron is a manufacturing engineer at the 3m plant in columbia missouri
00:11:52.580
at 3m and also a small business owner we welcome both of you uh to the program
00:11:58.380
uh one other thing one other thing that i should mention aaron you are not vaccinated
00:12:04.800
correct yes that is that is correct glenn and michael you are vaccinated
00:12:11.080
yes glenn i am vaccinated okay thank you for coming on the program thank you for being brave
00:12:17.460
enough to use your name and tell us the story that you're about to tell who wants to start
00:12:23.440
aaron can start yeah glenn so um something unthinkable has happened
00:12:31.520
the federal government is calling us federal contractors and has supposedly mandated that
00:12:39.460
3m uh require us to be vaccinated by december 8th if we don't get an exemption which is confusing
00:12:46.660
we will be terminated there's so many questions there's so little time it's just um putting a lot
00:12:53.820
of stress on all of us um i don't understand how this is happening can you tell me tell me and the
00:13:03.240
audience just so we i mean everybody's heard of 3m but what is it that you you make i mean you make
00:13:09.720
the things that make things correct yeah so 3m is a huge company we make post-it notes scotch tape
00:13:16.680
a lot of things that go into things we make electrical things in our plant we make some medical devices
00:13:21.380
and a drug like whitman stethoscopes um we just make so many things uh but we're a really big company
00:13:28.800
yeah okay and so the federal government says that 3m is a contractor and 3m has decided they don't want
00:13:37.780
to lose their business with the federal government and so they are um they're enforcing a vaccine
00:13:44.680
mandate that doesn't really even exist yet um and are they giving you any outs on the the vaccine
00:13:53.600
mandate yeah there's the medical exemption and the religious exemption now i've heard they're kind of
00:13:59.620
hard to come by so i'm really leery of how they're going to review these and what they're going to do and
00:14:04.340
you know i i don't understand how a contract between my company and the federal government
00:14:09.460
overrides my rights to my body if i don't feel safe in something i shouldn't have this choice
00:14:15.300
between the jab or my job so mike michael why are you part of this because you're vaccinated
00:14:23.420
i'm i'm part of this because i i made the personal choice to get vaccinated um back in a time when when
00:14:32.040
the vaccination was being sold as something different than what it actually came to be um my fight in this
00:14:38.940
is i'm not interested in continuous boosters i'm fearful i have three daughters that are uh
00:14:45.960
elementary and in the intermediate school age and i'm fearful that from what i see in the in the news
00:14:52.540
that that's who they're targeting next so what are you guys going to do about it we're uh our plant is
00:15:01.080
a lot of a lot of good hard-working folks on our plant are out on the sidewalk along the road now
00:15:06.720
protesting this today and so there is a a strike if you will it's a protest it's a protest and they're
00:15:17.180
not what's the difference between a strike and a protest we there's some verbiage i believe federally
00:15:23.960
where we have protection to protest for for the day okay without the recourse okay and what
00:15:33.300
are the hopes i mean how many people i know in missouri 3m employs what about 500 people
00:15:40.320
yeah so how many people go ahead yeah in our plant we have about 470 but there's two other
00:15:47.140
facilities as well that are pretty big also so probably around 1500 people total in missouri
00:15:51.820
okay and how many people do you expect to be on the sidewalk protesting today
00:15:56.760
so today there were about 40 people uh there is a 3m wide u.s wide or 3m uh call in protest today
00:16:05.840
and we don't have numbers because it's so hard to estimate this and there's so many facilities
00:16:10.060
there's over 22 locations participating people that are sales rep people at corporate um we were
00:16:16.200
estimating maybe between a thousand to two thousand people but it's really hard to know this thing has a
00:16:20.960
life of its own uh and and so what i mean you have only one day you can do this
00:16:28.280
it's a little confusing glenn but um at some point a walkout protest can become a strike if it's done
00:16:36.820
too often or for too long and it's confusing okay so what are you hoping will be accomplished today
00:16:45.320
uh a couple of things one first and foremost we got to call all the americans that are against
00:16:53.880
forced vaccination to stand up because it's not going to stop with me here as a federal
00:16:59.580
contractor it's coming for everybody they're going for everybody that's in companies with 100 or more
00:17:05.520
people and they're not going to stop there in california they've already mandated it for the kids
00:17:09.520
so we got to stand up now before it keeps going they've already got the nurses they're already
00:17:13.520
doing the military they just keep going we got to come together that's my number one goal to get
00:17:18.760
people to start coming together and stand up against this because it's not right michael yes your goal
00:17:27.120
my goal is that everyone's right to choose this is is left intact um and my daughters
00:17:39.700
you guys from what i understand um you have had a couple of co-workers that have had problems
00:17:49.420
with the vaccine yes that that is correct as i've been talking to people it just shocked me
00:17:57.260
you know in our plant maybe 50 to 60 percent of the people are vaccinated and just out of that small
00:18:03.500
number there's been um four or five significant long lasting injuries one lady had a heart attack
00:18:10.200
from the vaccine um and they're still wanting us to take this how do you know it was from the vaccine
00:18:16.080
um well this lady told me that her doctor told her it was the day after her second vaccine the doctor
00:18:22.180
said the vaccine caused it so is this when you're looking at this um i mean i'm i'm heartened to see
00:18:32.480
somebody who is vaccinated standing with somebody who is unvaccinated because it's tearing our country
00:18:38.140
apart but half of our country is being trained to be either afraid of the other half or to demonize
00:18:46.720
the other half uh and that is terrifying to me so it is it's great to see that both vaccinated and
00:18:54.900
unvaccinated are part of this yes there's a lot of there's a lot of vaccinated people on that line
00:19:01.480
today standing with us yeah i agree glenn um something i am so worried about is our president
00:19:10.240
biden he is purposely using words like like we're we're murdering people he is this is a persecution
00:19:18.360
um it's it's unheard of in our country you know i'm unvaccinated but i don't want to hurt anybody
00:19:25.220
i'm not a murderer i've never hurt anybody um if i get some symptoms i'm going to quarantine
00:19:30.840
i don't want to hurt people and i just don't understand it because if you are vaccinated now
00:19:35.240
it turns out you can also spread covid i'm unvaccinated i could also spread covid so there
00:19:40.160
doesn't need to be hate between each other we need to come together real leaders don't divide us
00:19:44.220
and persecute their citizens let me play um a piece of audio that came out this weekend from the head of
00:19:51.760
the cdc and michael i'd like you to start tell me what tell me your thoughts on this again from the
00:19:59.060
head of the cdc this weekend we have seen that these mandates are getting more and more people
00:20:03.920
vaccinated here's what we know the most disruptive thing that you can do to a workforce is to have
00:20:10.560
a covid outbreak in that workforce that will most definitely not only send people home but it will
00:20:15.640
send people to the hospital and some may pass what we know from the police workforce is that there
00:20:20.720
have been more deaths from the coronavirus over the last year and a half than all other causes of
00:20:26.320
death for that workforce combined so we believe it is very important to get these people vaccinated
00:20:32.480
there is a plan should these people not want to be vaccinated towards education and counseling to get
00:20:40.360
people the information they need so that they are feeling comfortable in getting vaccinated
00:20:44.520
michael your thoughts on a plan to educate and counsel those who don't want to get the vaccine
00:20:54.000
it's no different than than the what the 3m center in st paul has become a liberal indoctrination center
00:21:02.560
um where they they that clip said they're going to shove it down our throats until we comply
00:21:08.220
that that's what i heard uh aaron yeah um it sounds a lot like re-education camps potentially um i'm capable of
00:21:20.300
researching things i have doctors um we can make our decision you know i want to make the right
00:21:26.580
decision um what they're talking about covid being the biggest threat to a workforce we've gone a year
00:21:32.980
and a half almost two years with this and it hasn't disrupted us at all we got 460 people did not
00:21:38.180
disrupt our workplace there i don't know what they're talking about yeah i worked more over time
00:21:44.940
in the past year and a half than i have my entire time at 3m in over 10 years uh is is the is it a
00:21:56.140
liberal and conservative divide i i don't think so glenn because i've talked to several liberals one
00:22:04.300
one person their favorite uh person is rachel maddow she was saying she agrees with this the mandate is
00:22:12.360
wrong it's our body our choice and they're now learning like they're not comfortable with the
00:22:17.180
boosters because they're learning that this thing is sketch so is today the last day that there would
00:22:23.940
be anything going on at 3m can you even say i'm not sure what we can say i will just say that a lot
00:22:32.980
of people are very distraught and some people are sick some people have vacation and you know some
00:22:40.140
people may continue to be sick and continue to take vacation over this uh and um uh are you guys
00:22:48.460
afraid of ramifications for being on the air and identifying yourself absolutely um retaliation
00:22:56.820
just something that we don't we say we don't do um it's definitely on my mind yeah of course of course
00:23:05.500
i'm worried you know i got two kids and a wife and uh the worst case would be if somebody gets mad at
00:23:11.620
us and goes after them um this this is bigger than my job it's bigger than this company so i'm afraid
00:23:18.980
but i also know that this is so important we got to do something you two are remarkable and uh i'd like
00:23:29.580
you to stay in touch with me if there is any retaliation at all you make sure that you call
00:23:35.780
i mean whoever the local authorities are first but you call us uh and let us know is there anything
00:23:43.320
that the millions of people that are listening right now can do in support
00:23:53.340
yeah i think you stand up call your your local officials your state officials you know your
00:24:04.100
your senators your congressmen let them know where you stand um talk to your friends um if you can
00:24:10.440
walk out at your place of work stand together we can be strong together
00:24:16.520
god bless you both aaron gonzalez and michael frazier uh both with 3m uh part of a protest
00:24:26.420
today against the vaccine mandates back in a minute
00:24:30.800
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:24:50.500
huh costumes uh that are targeted to boys place heavy emphasis on superheroes and action figures
00:25:01.860
uh and uh they convey the messages that boys should be scary and gruesome
00:25:07.920
huh really because superheroes and action figures are gruesome that is weird uh but be careful of gender
00:25:17.380
stereotypes that's according to the adl okay why are they doing that well because the whole world
00:25:26.200
is going to conform the question is will you i want you to understand history doesn't just repeat
00:25:36.180
itself history is repeating itself and you are at the beginning now of something extraordinarily
00:25:44.620
dangerous and i will tell you that we will make the germans look like rookies in the end if we allow
00:25:54.740
this to happen the whole world is on the edge china is on the edge of economic disaster if they go down
00:26:04.060
just the supply line problem that we have will be enough to knock us flat and there will be somebody
00:26:13.020
there who says i can rebuild it better i can build back better this is the biden harris administration
00:26:26.540
if you really want to bury something you release it on friday afternoon
00:26:33.400
last friday they talked about esgs and the new banking system this time they issued the first ever
00:26:41.940
national gender strategy to advance the full participation of all people including women and girls in the united
00:26:51.420
united states and the world wow now you would think they wouldn't want this buried right why would you
00:26:58.900
announce something the first ever national gender strategy
00:27:03.620
now it does include women and girls i don't think we need to stereotype what i mean exactly how do you
00:27:11.260
define women and girls i'd like the the biden harris administration answer that before we go on
00:27:17.800
but they won't here it is president biden and vice president harris believe that advancing gender
00:27:26.020
equity and equality is fundamental to every individual's economic security safety health and
00:27:33.560
ability to exercise their most basic rights it is also essential to economic growth and development
00:27:39.780
democracy and political stability and to the security of nations across the globe
00:27:49.680
have the opportunity to realize their full potential is therefore both a moral and strategic imperative
00:27:59.080
yet no country in the world has achieved gender equality
00:28:02.880
and we are at an inflection point oh my gosh build back better the covid 19 pandemic has fueled
00:28:11.060
a health crisis an economic crisis and a caregiving crisis that have magnified the challenges that women
00:28:19.220
and girls especially women and girls of color have long faced you know like being fired because
00:28:25.580
you won't take the vaccine ladies you lady nurses you gotta go
00:28:32.540
it is exacerbated a shadow pandemic of gender-based violence in the united states and around the world
00:28:42.320
these overlapping crises have underscored that far too long the status quo have left too many people behind
00:28:53.500
