The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guests： Carol Roth & Jason Buttrill ｜ 8⧸13⧸21

00:00:00.000 Okay, well, today was a little frustrating.

00:00:02.080 It was Friday.

00:00:03.180 Stu would not play the pirate bird.

00:00:05.760 He would not play Stu the crime dog.

00:00:10.020 Even in the, I don't know, George.

00:00:12.960 How was that?

00:00:14.540 I don't know.

00:00:15.340 He seems like a totally new character now.

00:00:17.080 Yeah, I know.

00:00:17.820 I mean, he wouldn't play it.

00:00:19.640 He would not play it.

00:00:21.400 And he wasn't happy because we had a lot of real...

00:00:25.040 I had to carry the load myself today.

00:00:27.100 And it was fun.

00:00:29.060 It was fun.

00:00:30.000 You also had Bill O'Reilly carrying a decent amount of the load today.

00:00:33.060 Well, I mean, you know, he did his part, I guess.

00:00:36.200 He played a small role in this fantastic production.

00:00:38.820 And Jason Buttrell on Afghanistan.

00:00:40.660 Pat Gray.

00:00:41.940 Yeah, well, whatever.

00:00:43.100 Whatever.

00:00:43.700 It's Glenn Beck and a cast of thousands on today's podcast.

00:00:47.780 It's Friday.

00:00:48.280 You don't want to miss it.

00:00:49.000 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:00.540 We welcome Jason Buttrell, who is our chief researcher and our executive producer, Mr.

00:01:12.320 Steve Bregier, otherwise known as Stu for some strange unknown reason.

00:01:16.660 I feel a little like a pirate today.

00:01:20.560 And I might take my patch off.

00:01:22.620 And it's not an eye patch.

00:01:23.800 Although, they did...

00:01:25.700 They were sticking needles in my eye yesterday.

00:01:28.180 And it was not...

00:01:29.080 They had to take something out of my eye.

00:01:31.200 And it was bleeding yesterday.

00:01:34.120 And he was like, okay, now we just have to cauterize it.

00:01:36.660 And I'm like, no, I don't know.

00:01:37.860 I don't know.

00:01:38.780 No.

00:01:39.280 Hot poker to the eye.

00:01:40.500 When did you not learn that that was a bad thing?

00:01:42.960 I told your doctor I would come and help out.

00:01:45.220 I know.

00:01:45.860 I would have totally done that for you.

00:01:47.380 And I told him.

00:01:48.340 And I'm really angry with him.

00:01:49.860 I'm really angry with him.

00:01:51.240 Because I told him.

00:01:52.220 I said, no, no, no.

00:01:53.300 It's bleeding.

00:01:53.940 And he said, yeah.

00:01:54.800 And I said, good.

00:01:55.760 Let's...

00:01:56.120 I want it to bleed.

00:01:57.080 Because I'm going to go suggest to my family tonight that we're going to play Casino Royale.

00:02:01.120 And I'm going to be the bad guy.

00:02:02.640 And then tomorrow I can be on the air.

00:02:05.280 And I say, look, literally, I'm bleeding from my eyes.

00:02:08.740 It's so crazy.

00:02:10.260 And he didn't have a sense of humor.

00:02:11.960 No.

00:02:12.180 But I got a big scar on the side of my face.

00:02:14.920 So I can run for, you know, a position in Chicago or I think New York in the government.

00:02:22.060 You know, kind of like Scarface or a pirate.

00:02:26.240 What I'd like to do is at some point on today's show,

00:02:29.380 I have an intern running to see if he can find a parrot and an eyepatch.

00:02:38.120 And I would like to get people to tweet out what you think a pirate might say today or the bird might say today about today's situation.

00:02:51.660 So you just tweet those out and then some point in the show.

00:02:56.960 What are you talking about?

00:02:57.560 What do you mean they would say about today's situation?

00:03:00.840 You know about today's situation in the world, you know.

00:03:04.200 Make mine, you bitch. 1.00

00:03:07.200 Suck me. 1.00

00:03:07.880 Okay, I'm just saying, I don't know.

00:03:11.040 I don't know.

00:03:12.000 That wasn't me, by the way.

00:03:12.980 That was the bird.

00:03:14.820 But, you know, you can just tweet.

00:03:17.800 Anything about today's news.

00:03:19.340 Anything about today's news.

00:03:20.700 That you think would be funny for a parrot to say.

00:03:23.440 A parrot to say or a pirate.

00:03:25.800 What else would you do with social media?

00:03:27.900 They spent trillions of dollars developing the most expensive.

00:03:29.780 I think that's what it was built for.

00:03:31.140 I mean, look, we are on at least three different satellites in space.

00:03:37.960 Okay.

00:03:38.780 These things were launched.

00:03:40.680 We are on three different.

00:03:42.080 It takes a hop from Dallas to New York, from New York to Denver, to Denver, to Los Angeles, to your home.

00:03:51.500 Who doesn't want to hear, rah, I'm the pirate thing, just because I have scar on my face today.

00:03:56.400 That's probably what they designed it for.

00:03:59.080 I think so.

00:03:59.660 I mean, I'm in the Hall of Fame.

00:04:00.920 You're not.

00:04:01.460 So, I know.

00:04:02.380 Let's talk a little bit about Afghanistan.

00:04:05.840 Should we talk about Afghanistan?

00:04:07.340 Talk about Afghanistan.

00:04:10.160 It seems to be a mess today.

00:04:14.300 And I would like to make sure that Joe Biden gets all of the credit for this.

00:04:22.660 Now, I disagree with our mission.

00:04:25.520 And I'll tell you what I think we should learn from it here in a minute.

00:04:30.120 But remember, he said the Afghan army was fully trained and ready to just take over and keep the Taliban at bay.

00:04:42.080 How much of, Jason, how much of Afghanistan is now gone?

00:04:47.100 Oh, it's over 75% right now.

00:04:49.920 Oh.

00:04:50.240 Pretty much the whole country.

00:04:51.000 So, they're doing a really good job.

00:04:52.340 Bang up job.

00:04:52.980 Bang up job.

00:04:53.420 Yeah, that Afghan army is really pushing back.

00:04:56.180 Yeah, I think it was somewhere around $80 billion we spent training that army.

00:04:59.560 Forget about the money.

00:05:01.980 That was just in training.

00:05:03.380 Yeah.

00:05:03.680 Forget about the money.

00:05:04.600 How many lives were lost?

00:05:07.080 How many lives were lost?

00:05:08.980 This is an abomination.

00:05:10.700 And can we please learn our lesson?

00:05:15.600 This started over 100 years ago of let's do nation building.

00:05:21.220 It doesn't work.

00:05:23.440 We should have gone in and said, oh, oh, I'm sorry, Taliban. 1.00

00:05:28.580 You want to play this game?

00:05:30.520 Okay.

00:05:31.900 We're going to bomb the bat snot out of you. 1.00

00:05:37.000 And we should have gone in and just bombed them, killed as many of them that were involved in 9-11 as possible, continued to go get Osama bin Laden. 0.82

00:05:46.940 But when Osama bin Laden was had, that should have been it. 0.99

00:05:51.760 And it should have been it in Afghanistan long before that. 0.83

00:05:56.340 We don't need to nation build.

00:05:58.960 It doesn't work.

00:06:00.240 Would this not have just happened in 2004 then?

00:06:04.220 And then we would be probably.

00:06:05.720 No, no, no.

00:06:06.080 We wouldn't be back.

00:06:07.660 No.

00:06:08.000 When they come over and blow up buildings again, then are we back?

00:06:11.620 Or do we just keep going, popping back in whenever they blow up a few buildings?

00:06:14.740 No, not when they blow up a few buildings.

00:06:16.940 We haven't stopped them.

00:06:18.360 Have you noticed what's happening all around the world?

00:06:20.320 We haven't.

00:06:20.600 This doesn't work.

00:06:21.560 Yeah.

00:06:21.900 You have to do everything you can to be an unbelievable, breathtaking, overwhelming force on the people who perpetrated it.

00:06:36.660 And just make a statement that takes the breath out of the lungs of everyone around watching, going, don't hit America again.

00:06:45.160 Whatever you do, don't hit America.

00:06:46.940 Sort of a shock and awe, done better.

00:06:49.200 Yeah, done right.

00:06:50.120 Right.

00:06:50.280 Where it was actually shocking and awesome.

00:06:53.680 Okay.

00:06:55.080 It wasn't.

00:06:56.320 So, Jason.

00:06:57.280 You were there.

00:06:57.800 You were 22 years old on September 11th.

00:07:00.720 You were in Australia.

00:07:02.080 You were one of the first into Afghanistan.

00:07:05.300 Yeah.

00:07:05.640 How do you feel?

00:07:06.880 I guess kind of like how I remember before we actually went out on that deployment, we had a guy from Vietnam come in and talk to us.

00:07:12.800 And I remember very clearly he said, I hope, you know, they actually, if you ever do get to fight, which during that time was peacetime.

00:07:19.600 So, literally, I was there to pay for my college.

00:07:21.640 That was about it.

00:07:22.840 And so, the majority of the people that joined the military way back then was there just to pretty much pay for college.

00:07:27.860 But he said, I hope they let you guys win if you ever do get to fight.

00:07:30.680 I hope what happened to us doesn't happen to you.

00:07:32.980 And it did.

00:07:33.840 And it exactly happened to us.

00:07:35.680 I was looking at a map last night, and it was so surreal.

00:07:38.780 I was looking at every single city that I was reading that had fallen to the Taliban.

00:07:42.700 Were you in Kandahar?

00:07:43.900 We were just outside the suburbs of Kandahar.

00:07:48.160 So, we stopped.

00:07:48.980 Wasn't Kandahar, wasn't that one of the worst places for a while?

00:07:52.760 Where was the one, where was the place that it was like deadly for us to go in?

00:07:57.560 And we finally took it.

00:07:58.420 They were like hanging people off of the bridge.

00:08:00.220 Is that the one you're talking about?

00:08:01.020 What was that?

00:08:01.480 Yeah.

00:08:01.920 Well, yeah, Kandahar was bad.

00:08:03.420 But in the north, it was also bad.

00:08:05.000 The majority of the Al-Qaeda fighters were up north.

00:08:08.260 When we went in, it was pretty much, it was lightning fast.

00:08:10.680 We went into the south.

00:08:11.720 My unit did.

00:08:12.420 The Rangers and the horse soldiers, famous.

00:08:14.320 They were up north.

00:08:15.240 We went into the south, and Kandahar, Lashkar-Agar, these are a bunch of names that are starting

00:08:20.140 to flood back.

00:08:22.180 Kandahar and Jalalabad.

00:08:23.200 Yes, I do remember those two.

00:08:24.380 The deadly Helmand province, which a lot of people have talked about.

00:08:27.520 We went right in there and pretty much cleared the Taliban out. 0.87

00:08:30.560 They ran to the hills.

00:08:31.480 They ran to the border of Pakistan where they could hide.

00:08:34.000 It was very, very fast.

00:08:36.780 Looking now at all those cities, I can remember every single one of those little villages and

00:08:40.780 capitals.

00:08:41.380 I sat in those.

00:08:43.260 So what is the average person in the ones that were not for the Taliban? 0.72

00:08:50.960 What are they feeling today?

00:08:52.960 You mean Afghans?

00:08:54.080 Yeah.

00:08:54.860 They're scared crapless, guaranteed.

00:08:57.700 When we went in, we were greeted with open arms, pretty much.

00:09:01.660 Kids would come out.

00:09:02.640 They'd come up to the Humvees.

00:09:03.700 We'd give them candy and food.

00:09:05.060 People, women would actually step outside their houses, and they were riding around in 1.00

00:09:10.300 cars, which I don't think was happening when the Taliban was there.

00:09:13.560 I mean, that felt really great.

00:09:14.900 Today, the Taliban is already rounding up girls as young as 12 for their sexual slaves, right?

00:09:24.200 Yeah.

00:09:24.420 That's the...

00:09:25.020 See, that is one of the...

00:09:26.180 You said, I hope that Biden owns a lot of this.

00:09:28.960 These are the consequences that he's going to have to live with.

00:09:31.200 I also agree that we should have left.

00:09:32.880 We should have left a long time ago.

00:09:34.620 The way they did this is...

00:09:36.640 And I'm talking about the Biden administration.

00:09:38.040 It's completely political.

00:09:39.560 Completely.

00:09:40.020 And this is an example.

00:09:41.140 There is no military reason to leave Afghanistan right now.

00:09:45.360 In the summer.

00:09:46.340 Now, think about that.

00:09:47.300 That is when the Taliban's fighting season is.

00:09:49.480 Yeah.

00:09:49.600 That's when they're...

00:09:50.340 That's the prime time.

00:09:51.700 Winter.

00:09:52.300 Winter is when they stop.

00:09:53.920 So, if this was not political at all, they would have scheduled to pull out to begin in

00:09:59.020 January or February.

00:10:00.620 That's when they would have done it.

00:10:01.500 That would have given months of no fighting for the Afghan army to solidify.

00:10:06.360 For them to move out to some areas and say, okay, now we can establish control.

00:10:09.480 If they plan this out, that's what they have done.

00:10:11.300 I guarantee you the general said this.

00:10:13.580 But Biden didn't do that.

00:10:14.560 He wanted a political statement.

00:10:15.860 Well, they're going to get a political statement.

00:10:17.520 I guarantee you.

00:10:18.420 I was on with Stu and I predicted six to 12 months before full Taliban takeover.

00:10:23.000 Now it's closer to 30 days.

00:10:24.380 I think they're going to go all the way up to Kabul on September 10th, camp out.

00:10:29.080 On September 11th, they're going to walk in.

00:10:32.060 Guaranteed.

00:10:32.540 That's the political statement they're going to get.

00:10:34.160 Now, let me say this to you.

00:10:37.380 Stu, you remember we were together, I think, on the air when they were blowing up the statues

00:10:43.460 of Buddha.

00:10:44.540 Do you remember that?

00:10:45.760 And we were saying, where is the beloved UN?

00:10:51.340 Where is the community of nations that say, oh, this is a World Heritage site?

00:10:58.500 Nobody said anything.

00:10:59.780 And what did the Taliban do?

00:11:02.100 Now, just follow me here for a second.

00:11:03.640 What did the Taliban do?

00:11:05.020 They wanted to erase the history of the area.

00:11:09.180 And so they took down and blew up statues.

00:11:16.320 Can you give me the story, Stu?

00:11:18.480 Yesterday, you gave to me about what's happening in the schools of Oregon, a law that they just

00:11:24.360 passed.

00:11:25.720 If you are a minority, you don't have to actually know how to read or to write.

00:11:34.340 Correct.

00:11:34.780 And you can pass.

00:11:36.520 Isn't that you?

00:11:37.020 I've heard a little about this story, but I was not the one that talked to you about it.

00:11:40.120 So in Oregon, they just passed a law that minorities don't have to pass to graduate.

00:11:48.120 They don't have to know how to read or write.

00:11:51.080 OK, Jason, maybe you can help refresh my memory of the Taliban.

00:11:59.260 They're rounding up the children.

00:12:01.000 And you just said that women wouldn't even be able allowed to be driving in a car or leave 0.99

00:12:06.400 their house.

00:12:07.520 What else was something else that they did to the women there to keep them oppressed?

00:12:13.340 Didn't let them get an education.

00:12:15.140 Ah, they couldn't read or write.

00:12:17.660 Isn't that interesting?

00:12:18.520 We've become more like the Taliban than I care to to believe. 0.94

00:12:25.740 I'd like zero percent on that one.

00:12:27.400 Yeah, I would like that.

00:12:28.380 Let's not let's not try to erase history and blow up statues or remove statues.

00:12:33.420 Let's not try to rewrite everything.

00:12:35.660 And let's make sure everybody gets an education where they can read and write.

00:12:39.720 So they're not a slave.

00:12:41.160 What do you say?

00:12:42.700 Sounds good to me.

00:12:43.500 It sounds good for our foreign policy people to also get an education, learn history, because

00:12:50.000 it seems like they've completely lost that ability.

00:12:52.940 If they would have, we wouldn't be doing these mistakes year after year after year.

00:12:56.380 We were talking earlier about if they would have even looked at the history, they would

00:13:00.420 have known the history of Woodrow Wilson.

00:13:01.960 Now, he started a lot of this crap.

00:13:03.760 1915.

00:13:04.320 Look at Haiti.

00:13:05.240 So in Haiti in 1915, they assassinated their own president.

00:13:10.540 Bloodbath ensued.

00:13:12.100 So Woodrow Wilson sends in the Marines.

00:13:14.220 But what's he do?

00:13:15.020 They do what they should have done.

00:13:16.860 They did their mission.

00:13:18.080 They got rid of the people and got the bad guys.

00:13:21.160 But then they stayed for 20 years.

00:13:22.780 They stayed for 20 years.

00:13:23.980 Now, flash forward 100 years plus, we go over there, do our mission.

00:13:28.280 What do we do?

00:13:28.700 We stay for over 20 years.

00:13:29.820 We do the same thing trying to build them into an Americanized democracy, which is ludicrous.

00:13:35.880 Haiti, in the news about a month ago, they did the same exact thing, repeated history,

00:13:39.660 assassinated their president.

00:13:40.720 It's a corrupt government.

00:13:42.060 And so is Afghanistan. 0.89

00:13:43.260 It's a corrupt government.

00:13:44.640 So is America.

00:13:45.620 At this point, so is American government.

00:13:47.400 It is imperative that we learn the lessons from the progressive left and the bloodshed and

00:13:58.640 the treasure and all of the nation building that we have done.

00:14:03.560 It has got to stop.

00:14:08.720 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:14:17.400 Carol Roth is with me now.

00:14:22.380 She is the author of the book, The War on Small Business.

00:14:26.640 If you want to know what's happened in the last year or so, this book explains it all.

00:14:33.560 What's more, it goes further and explains what you're up against.

00:14:38.500 Carol, welcome to the program.

00:14:40.980 Hey, Glenn.

00:14:41.840 Happy Friday the 13th.

00:14:43.500 I'm kind of feeling like we're in an economic horror show right now.

00:14:47.400 Oh, my gosh.

00:14:48.340 Okay, so let's go through the $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill.

00:14:53.880 I just want you to talk about this in a way that the average American can understand.

00:15:00.460 This, you know, we've been saying, there's no infrastructure in it.

00:15:04.440 Where's the bridges and the roads?

00:15:06.400 It's not about that kind of infrastructure, is it?

00:15:10.620 No, and the worst part is we actually have two bills, and they're more than $3.5 trillion.

00:15:16.780 And so you have the more than $1 trillion, what they're calling the infrastructure bill,

00:15:22.740 which is, you know, a little bit of infrastructure, but includes things like how can we tax you and keep you from going on the road,

00:15:31.060 which I'm not exactly sure how that means, how that sort of becomes infrastructure.

00:15:38.120 But that's just sort of the tip of the iceberg.

00:15:40.720 That has enabled this $3.5 trillion, and some people are calling it an infrastructure bill.

00:15:47.060 It's really a budget resolution framework.

00:15:51.380 And this, and I'm going to have the exact quote from Chuck Schumer,

00:15:55.560 the Democratic budget will bring a generational transformation to how our economy works for the average American.

00:16:04.500 And if you don't have that super secret decoder ring, that is clear code for economy by central planning mandates.

00:16:13.160 And I'm assuming we should have all expected this,

00:16:15.520 given the fact that the head of the budget committee is none other than Bernie Sanders,

00:16:20.600 who we all know has been a communist synthesizer in the past.

00:16:24.480 So not only do we have to sort of contend with this infrastructure piece,

00:16:28.740 but on top of it, we have $3.5 trillion in terms of a budget framework,

00:16:34.940 and I'm happy to go into detail on any of that.

00:16:37.580 So I'd like to hear some of that, because I think these two fit together.

00:16:42.340 You know, they're bringing pieces of things together when you combine the two.

00:16:48.380 And isn't the reconciliation also coming?

00:16:51.420 Don't we have to have a budget reconciliation here in a month?

00:16:56.080 That's what this framework is.

00:16:58.440 So basically, by enabling the $1 trillion infrastructure bill,

00:17:04.920 that has actually laid the infrastructure, pun intended,

00:17:09.880 to get to this $3.5 trillion budget that they're going to do by reconciliation,

00:17:15.180 because they don't think, obviously, they can get the votes to pass it.

00:17:18.140 So they needed the first piece. And unfortunately, we had 19 Republicans who said,

00:17:23.860 yeah, okay, that seems like a good use of funding.

00:17:26.900 And so they are complicit in this.

00:17:29.660 And unfortunately, the Democrats feel like they have this mandate,

00:17:34.780 because even though we've had the central planning that has been accelerating,

00:17:38.920 and you look at over the past year and a half, all the things that they have done in terms of

00:17:44.320 increasing inflation, disrupting the job markets, the supply chain, shuttering small businesses,

00:17:49.560 throwing savers and retirees under the proverbial bus,

00:17:52.900 and all kinds of other financial and individual rights atrocities,

00:17:56.560 you would think people would say, maybe central planners don't know what they're doing.

00:18:01.140 But at the same time, they basically started conditioning people to want to get more reliance on the government.

00:18:09.720 They had the stimulus payments.

00:18:12.060 They had the enhanced unemployment benefits.

00:18:14.440 They said, we're going to be there for you.

00:18:16.420 And so that's really paved the way to this huge $3.5 trillion socialist wish list.

00:18:24.540 So it is the, I mean, Rubio and Lee were for enhancing the child tax credit,

00:18:34.020 but that was something that you would get in April, and you would have to have paid taxes.

00:18:41.260 What instead the geniuses at the GOP signed up for, and now Lee and Rubio are like, what are you crazy,

00:18:49.360 is a check from the federal government every month if you have children.

00:18:53.780 So this is basically UBI, is it not?

00:18:58.560 Yes, you hit the nail on the head.

00:19:01.260 So they're calling it the child tax credit because, you know, you would be evil

00:19:05.820 if you wouldn't want people to get early access to their taxes

00:19:09.340 because they had to take care of their children, right?

00:19:11.840 But it isn't a tax credit because, as you said,

00:19:15.760 you don't have to actually earn any income in order to get it,

00:19:19.520 which means that it is a guaranteed payment from the government,

00:19:23.780 which is one of those things like the stimulus and like these other endeavors

00:19:29.660 that are paving the roads for constant guaranteed payments from the government

00:19:35.180 and dependents on the government, and also things like universal pre-K

00:19:40.980 and what I call quote-unquote tuition-free because we know that somebody is paying for it,

00:19:46.480 and that's you and me and every average American community college.

00:19:49.760 And it's being sold by the media, who's always complicit in this, as relief.

00:19:55.520 It's relief for the families.

00:19:57.940 And you have to ask yourself, what is it relief from?

00:20:01.200 Is it relief from being responsible?

00:20:04.120 Is it relief from taking care of your children that you decided to bring into the world?

00:20:08.840 Is it relief from the incredible inflation that they won't talk about?

00:20:13.140 I mean, gas has gone up a dollar per gallon.

00:20:17.660 I'm sure, Carol, you remember the days.

00:20:20.000 I clearly remember the days when I would be counting my quarters at the gas pump,

00:20:25.580 and I could only put a little bit in my tank.

00:20:28.240 You put $20 of gas into your truck or your car.

00:20:32.480 It's not getting very far now.

00:20:34.300 Yeah, no, it's amazing, and it is this almost satire, feel like you're in a Monty Python skit.

00:20:42.760 Because as of a few years ago, the United States had become the leading producer of oil in the entire world,

00:20:52.100 and we had energy independence.

00:20:55.500 And the Biden administration kneecapped that. 0.90

00:20:59.000 They cut off the leases for oil and gas.

00:21:01.260 They decided to shut down the Keystone Pipeline and many other things,

00:21:06.060 and now they are begging the cartel to produce more oil.

00:21:12.120 I mean, it's just completely insane.

00:21:14.380 And if you actually cared about the environment, you would say,

00:21:17.960 well, I'm pretty sure that we do a better job in making sure that we take provisions to cleanly produce that oil.

00:21:25.420 And we're not shipping it across.

00:21:27.580 Right, we're not shipping it across an ocean.

00:21:31.260 I mean, it's really nuts.

00:21:33.200 And now he is looking at the oil companies to see about price gouging and see where they are being illegal.

00:21:41.160 This only makes sense is if you are trying to let's let's not say destroy the United States of America.

00:21:49.400 Let's say destroy the constitutional republic as we have it and the free market.

00:21:54.540 It only makes sense if you are replacing oil with something else.

00:21:59.880 And we know I was just talking to a guy who is out at Pebble Beach going out to Pebble Beach and is is high up in, you know,

00:22:08.700 and knows about, you know, very high end cars.

00:22:12.880 And he was telling me that all of them, except for Bugatti, will be all electric by 2030, which 2030 happens to be the agenda 2030 timeline and the World Economic Forum timeline.

00:22:27.500 And and I think the timeline of the Biden administration as well.

00:22:31.180 I mean, this is all well coordinated and you see exactly it's coming together.

00:22:36.720 They're doing it.

00:22:38.880 Yeah, there's there's so much to unpack there.

00:22:41.940 And this is why I love talking to you, because I can go on each of these things for like 30 minutes.

00:22:46.460 But, you know, I'm somebody who spends my life grounded in facts and reason and putting together data sets.

00:22:54.160 And so, you know, I'm not off on wild conspiracy theories, but you're seeing the things that they're saying and they're doing.

00:23:00.740 And it's out in the open. It's not hidden. There's no like digging that needs to be done.

00:23:05.780 They're literally saying the quiet part out loud.

00:23:08.720 So it's not unreasonable to believe there is some level of coordination there.

00:23:15.380 And then you have, you know, as you mentioned, these sort of these green mandates.

00:23:20.180 I do happen to wonder if there is, you know, some politicization of this,

00:23:26.020 given the fact that so many of the red states rely on oil and gas in terms of the big drivers of their economy.

00:23:33.940 So I have to wonder about that.

00:23:35.340 And then I saw all of these billionaires had banded together with Bezos, Gates, Bloomberg and Ray Dalio,

00:23:44.940 who is a major hedge fund manager.

00:23:47.560 And they're investing in a company that is now mining for these green materials that go into the production of things like lithium batteries

00:23:57.280 and whatnot to enable this green transformation.

00:24:00.800 So the question is, you know, like, which is the chicken and which is the egg?

00:24:05.260 Do they know that it's coming and so they're jumping on it?

00:24:08.820 Or is it, hey, you know, this is the new way to make money.

00:24:11.880 So we're all coordinating and putting it together.

00:24:14.340 It sort of doesn't matter which one, right?

00:24:16.000 Because the outcome is the same.

00:24:16.940 Well, there's a story out today.

00:24:18.860 Bill Gates said he would commit one point five billion dollars over three years to climate change projects with the government

00:24:25.160 that they're including in the one point two trillion dollar infrastructure bill.

00:24:29.640 He's putting one point five billion dollars into the projects as a public private partnership with the government,

00:24:37.440 which is exactly what the Great Reset is taking away the free market

00:24:43.700 and putting in public private partnerships that agree on ESG's.

00:24:50.280 Carol is the author of a book that is a must read.

00:24:53.920 The War on Small Business.

00:24:55.540 You want to survive?

00:24:56.880 Read that book.

00:24:57.820 The War on Small Business.

00:24:59.280 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:25:05.120 And don't forget, rate us on iTunes.

00:25:07.500 And the Rock knows.

00:25:20.280 Where's that now?

00:25:21.280 You just asked for the music.

00:25:23.440 And the Rock knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices.

00:25:26.840 We're going to have to change our conversation.

00:25:29.720 We're going to have to change our traditions, our history.

00:25:32.600 We're going to have to move into a different place.

00:25:35.540 Yes, that's right.

00:25:37.100 My name's Beck.

00:25:38.840 I'm a cop.

00:25:40.300 I thought you were a pirate.

00:25:42.140 No, I'm a cop in this show.

00:25:43.860 Okay, I'm sorry.

00:25:44.320 Yeah.

00:25:44.840 This cop, that's a different, totally different series.

00:25:48.900 My bad.

00:25:49.660 That's the one on Netflix.

00:25:51.000 This is the one.

00:25:51.460 I'd like you to meet my dog, Stu.

00:25:53.440 So, uh, I'm part of the, uh, word and tradition police.

00:26:00.640 And I want to point out a few things that have been going on.

00:26:04.220 Let's take on the rituals of the police in Chicago.

00:26:09.160 The proceedings for Officer Ella French, who was murdered at a traffic stop Saturday,

00:26:14.000 reportedly rushed due to a decision made by the First Deputy Superintendent, Eric Carter.

00:26:19.740 He said, we don't have 20 minutes for this.

00:26:24.680 Crap.

00:26:26.060 He was second in command.

00:26:27.820 He was heard on an audio recording referring to the bagpipe proceedings.

00:26:32.360 According to the Chicago Times, we're not waiting for the bagpipes.

00:26:37.680 Just get the vehicles inside.

00:26:40.720 See, what usually happens is the, it's a sacred part of having the honor guard, you know, there

00:26:47.740 and the bagpipes and after an officer died and they take him to the, from the morgue and

00:26:53.000 they take him to the funeral home, they play the bagpipes.

00:26:56.380 But he said, we don't have time for that crap.

00:27:01.300 And so they moved on and the police are not real happy about it.

00:27:08.520 But let me just say this.

00:27:11.640 Barack knew that we had to change some of our traditions and some of our language.

00:27:18.440 Yes, that's right.

00:27:19.720 With my, my faithful dog, Stu.

00:27:23.300 What's that, Stu?

00:27:27.540 Stu, you have another story?

00:27:30.920 Oh my gosh.

00:27:32.280 This one is about language.

00:27:34.580 I'm glad I don't have a role in this, by the way.

00:27:36.620 In an article.

00:27:37.940 I don't even know what it is.

00:27:39.840 In an article headline, no more master bedrooms, Minnesota real estate listings aim for inclusivity.

00:27:48.220 Yes, that's right.

00:27:50.280 Agents say that calling the biggest bedroom and bathroom in a house, the master bedroom,

00:27:55.740 is racist. 0.81

00:27:58.960 The, we need a longer bed for this, I think.

00:28:02.100 Anyway, the real estate agent said, quote, I'm a person of color and every time I hear

00:28:07.660 the term master bedroom, I kept saying to myself, I don't like how it sounds.

00:28:14.860 Oh.

00:28:16.080 Well then, you should get over it.

00:28:20.100 Or maybe you should change the way you say things.

00:28:25.220 But, I'm not really offended by master bedroom, and I, I've never tied it to, kids, bring

00:28:35.060 in your shackles.

00:28:37.080 The master is speaking.

00:28:39.420 Exactly like a person with white privilege.

00:28:41.960 Exactly.

00:28:42.360 In addition to combating the racist terminology, the real estate groups now are pushing to

00:28:48.120 phase out gender-specific language, such as, dare I even say it, the man cave?

00:28:56.320 Or the she shed?

00:28:57.580 I don't even know what the she shed is.

00:28:59.800 Or the accessory dwelling unit?

00:29:02.900 Or the den?

00:29:03.800 Why wouldn't you call something a den?

00:29:08.000 Apparently, it would avoid offending transgender or non-binary people.

00:29:12.960 Why?

00:29:13.660 The den?

00:29:16.400 Lion's den, maybe?

00:29:18.660 Right, but why would that offend transgender people?

00:29:21.600 I have no idea.

00:29:23.080 Instead of mother-in-law suite, it's now the guest house, or the in-law suite.

00:29:28.260 How dare you offend those who aren't married?

00:29:30.720 And any rooms that hint of two sexes, such as Jack and Jill bathrooms, have to be replaced 0.99

00:29:37.060 now with dual-entry bathroom.

00:29:40.000 Avoiding terms that could offend a buyer or seller just makes good business sense.

00:29:44.660 Well, it doesn't seem to bother you when you offend the hell out of me.

00:29:49.220 No one cares about that.

00:29:50.400 No, it really, it really doesn't.

00:29:52.260 No one cares.

00:29:52.560 Wait, hold it, just a second.

00:29:54.640 Stu, the crime dog.

00:29:58.540 Give it to me.

00:29:59.500 Oh my gosh, Stu, the crime dog has just given me yet another story, because Barack knows

00:30:07.160 we have to change our language.

00:30:10.180 Today, the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, the ABM, which I'm a member of.

00:30:17.340 Are you a member of Stu, the lifetime member?

00:30:19.900 Yeah, lifetime member.

00:30:20.680 Oh, you were asking the dog, I'm sorry.

00:30:23.820 I was asking the crime dog here.

00:30:26.760 They have new guidelines introducing lactation-related language.

00:30:31.900 Thank you, finally.

00:30:33.080 I know, right?

00:30:33.760 Finally.

00:30:34.340 We have been waiting for it.

00:30:36.120 The new guidelines were published to affirm the organization's commitment to gender equality

00:30:40.980 and health equity, including the new terminology for lactation-related language.

00:30:47.800 Terms for lactation include chest feeding.

00:30:53.380 Not breastfeeding, but chest feeding.

00:30:57.400 And not mothers, but human milk feeding individuals.

00:31:03.540 If that doesn't just roll off your tongue.

00:31:07.020 Human milk feeding individuals.

00:31:11.500 I need a human milk feeding individual right now for some chest feeding. 1.00

00:31:17.200 The ABM recognizes that not all people who give birth in lactate identify as female,

00:31:23.040 and some individuals identify as neither male or female.

00:31:28.500 Why these people have children and are allowed to have children, I don't know. 0.95

00:31:34.160 Oh my gosh.

00:31:35.320 That's the kind of language and thinking that's got to stop.

00:31:40.620 Stop it.

00:31:42.020 Stop it, Stu the crime dog.

00:31:44.160 Language, this is according to the ABM.

00:31:47.400 Listen to this.

00:31:48.480 Language has power.

00:31:50.060 The language that we use should be as inclusive as possible when discussing infant feeding.

00:31:58.820 When working with patients, it is best to ask them for the affirmed terminology.

00:32:04.720 When communicating medical research, language should accurately reflect the population studied

00:32:13.400 as to not mask the research needs.

00:32:16.880 So, they're saying in science, for research, it's important.

00:32:24.700 I'm going to say this again.

00:32:26.700 Language should accurately reflect the population studied.

00:32:32.880 Well, I don't know.

00:32:34.440 Human milk feeding individuals.

00:32:36.780 I don't think that's an accurate study.

00:32:40.840 Or men that are chest feeding.

00:32:45.040 I don't think they can lactate.

00:32:49.420 But maybe that's just, I'm sorry.

00:32:53.500 I'm sorry I forgot my role as a language and tradition cop.

00:32:58.180 Using gender-neutral terminology in medicine is increasingly more common phenomena.

00:33:05.300 According to some of the esteemed medical schools, Katie Herzog reports,

00:33:12.400 a University of California endocrinology, endocrinology, endocrinology, I'm a doctor,

00:33:18.000 forced to apologize for implying that only women can give birth.

00:33:23.060 The professor used the gendered language of pregnant women instead of the preferred pregnant people.

00:33:32.080 He apologized, saying,

00:33:34.320 I don't want you to think that I am anyway trying to imply anything.

00:33:39.160 And if you can summon some generosity to forgive me, I would really appreciate it.

00:33:45.040 Again, I'm very, very, very sorry for that.

00:33:48.360 It was not my intention to offend anyone by using the words pregnant people.

00:33:54.780 The worst thing I can do as a human being is to be offensive.

00:33:59.060 I said when a woman is pregnant, which implies, 1.00

00:34:02.000 this is a scientist saying this,

00:34:05.020 which implies that only women can get pregnant. 1.00

00:34:08.720 And I most sincerely apologize to all of you.

00:34:12.960 Soldiers, keep looking for those traditions and the language and our history

00:34:21.780 that must be changed, because after all, Barack knows.

00:34:27.160 And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices.

00:34:30.820 We are going to have to change our conversation.

00:34:33.500 We're going to have to change our traditions, our history.

00:34:36.380 We're going to have to move into a different place.

00:34:39.340 There is nothing more frustrating than having your identity stolen online.

00:34:46.660 You couldn't bark.

00:34:48.020 You couldn't play along enough just to bark.

00:34:50.660 That's why you're not in the Hall of Fame.

00:34:52.340 You were talking to a dog of some sort.

00:34:54.240 I tried to answer your questions, and you continued to bark.

00:34:57.980 Not as a dog.

00:34:58.020 Not as a dog.

00:34:58.680 Not even like, well, I don't know, Glenn.

00:35:01.940 Do we have?

00:35:03.520 I'm still the crime dog.

00:35:05.300 I don't know, Glenn.

00:35:06.960 You wouldn't even do that.

00:35:07.860 Now that you've done three different animal voices for today, which one do we expect before

00:35:12.860 the end?

00:35:13.360 We had the parrot.

00:35:14.740 The parrot.

00:35:15.340 Oh, yeah, the parrot.

00:35:16.060 I still have the parrot.

00:35:17.140 And now the crime dog.

00:35:18.460 Yeah.

00:35:19.040 The McGruff-style dog.

00:35:20.740 I'm just...

00:35:21.500 Do you have anything else planned for this last segment?

00:35:25.260 Well, I do.

00:35:26.660 It's a pirate segment.

00:35:28.200 Okay.

00:35:28.660 Okay.

00:35:29.300 But I have to remove the bandage.

00:35:31.240 No, no.

00:35:31.680 You don't need to remove the bandage.

00:35:32.840 No, you have to see the scar.

00:35:34.180 The bandage looks fantastic.

00:35:35.440 No, the scar is the whole thing.

00:35:37.620 Without the scar, you won't believe that I'm a pirate.

00:35:40.020 I don't believe you're a pirate.

00:35:42.220 Well, I'll turn you around.
