00:00:21.400
And he wasn't happy because we had a lot of real...
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.
00:00:43.700
It's Glenn Beck and a cast of thousands on today's podcast.
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.
00:01:25.700
They were sticking needles in my eye yesterday.
00:01:34.120
And he was like, okay, now we just have to cauterize it.
00:01:40.500
When did you not learn that that was a bad thing?
00:01:57.080
Because I'm going to go suggest to my family tonight that we're going to play Casino Royale.
00:02:05.280
And I say, look, literally, I'm bleeding from my eyes.
00:02:14.920
So I can run for, you know, a position in Chicago or I think New York in the government.
00:02:26.240
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.
00:02:57.560
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.
00:03:20.700
That you think would be funny for a parrot to say.
00:03:27.900
They spent trillions of dollars developing the most expensive.
00:03:31.140
I mean, look, we are on at least three different satellites in space.
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.
00:04:14.300
And I would like to make sure that Joe Biden gets all of the credit for this.
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?
00:04:56.180
Yeah, I think it was somewhere around $80 billion we spent training that army.
00:05:15.600
This started over 100 years ago of let's do nation building.
00:05:23.440
We should have gone in and said, oh, oh, I'm sorry, Taliban.
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.
00:05:46.940
But when Osama bin Laden was had, that should have been it.
00:05:51.760
And it should have been it in Afghanistan long before that.
00:06:00.240
Would this not have just happened in 2004 then?
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?
00:06:18.360
Have you noticed what's happening all around the world?
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.
00:07:06.880
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.
00:07:22.840
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.
00:07:35.680
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.
00:07:48.980
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?
00:07:58.420
They were like hanging people off of the bridge.
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.
00:08:15.240
We went into the south, and Kandahar, Lashkar-Agar, these are a bunch of names that are starting
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.
00:08:31.480
They ran to the border of Pakistan where they could hide.
00:08:36.780
Looking now at all those cities, I can remember every single one of those little villages and
00:08:43.260
So what is the average person in the ones that were not for the Taliban?
00:08:57.700
When we went in, we were greeted with open arms, pretty much.
00:09:05.060
People, women would actually step outside their houses, and they were riding around in
00:09:10.300
cars, which I don't think was happening when the Taliban was there.
00:09:14.900
Today, the Taliban is already rounding up girls as young as 12 for their sexual slaves, right?
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.
00:09:36.640
And I'm talking about the Biden administration.
00:09:41.140
There is no military reason to leave Afghanistan right now.
00:09:53.920
So, if this was not political at all, they would have scheduled to pull out to begin in
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.
00:10:15.860
Well, they're going to get a political statement.
00:10:18.420
I was on with Stu and I predicted six to 12 months before full Taliban takeover.
00:10:24.380
I think they're going to go all the way up to Kabul on September 10th, camp out.
00:10:32.540
That's the political statement they're going to get.
00:10:37.380
Stu, you remember we were together, I think, on the air when they were blowing up the statues
00:10:51.340
Where is the community of nations that say, oh, this is a World Heritage site?
00:11:18.480
Yesterday, you gave to me about what's happening in the schools of Oregon, a law that they just
00:11:25.720
If you are a minority, you don't have to actually know how to read or to write.
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.
00:11:51.080
OK, Jason, maybe you can help refresh my memory of the Taliban.
00:12:01.000
And you just said that women wouldn't even be able allowed to be driving in a car or leave
00:12:07.520
What else was something else that they did to the women there to keep them oppressed?
00:12:18.520
We've become more like the Taliban than I care to to believe.
00:12:28.380
Let's not let's not try to erase history and blow up statues or remove statues.
00:12:35.660
And let's make sure everybody gets an education where they can read and write.
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
00:13:05.240
So in Haiti in 1915, they assassinated their own president.
00:13:18.080
They got rid of the people and got the bad guys.
00:13:23.980
Now, flash forward 100 years plus, we go over there, do our mission.
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,
00:13:47.400
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.
00:14:22.380
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.
00:14:43.500
I'm kind of feeling like we're in an economic horror show right now.
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.
00:15:06.400
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.
00:15:51.380
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.
00:16:51.420
Don't we have to have a budget reconciliation here in a month?
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.
00:17:29.660
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.
00:18:16.420
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.
00:19:01.260
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.
00:19:57.940
And you have to ask yourself, what is it relief from?
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?
00:20:20.000
I clearly remember the days when I would be counting my quarters at the gas pump,
00:20:28.240
You put $20 of gas into your truck or your car.
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,
00:21:01.260
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.
00:21:14.380
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.
00:21:33.200
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,
00:22:12.880
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.
00:22:41.940
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.
00:23:35.340
And then I saw all of these billionaires had banded together with Bezos, Gates, Bloomberg and Ray Dalio,
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.
00:24:18.860
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.
00:25:23.440
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.
00:25:44.840
This cop, that's a different, totally different series.
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.
00:26:27.820
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.
00:26:40.720
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.
00:27:01.300
And so they moved on and the police are not real happy about it.
00:27:11.640
Barack knew that we had to change some of our traditions and some of our language.
00:27:34.580
I'm glad I don't have a role in this, by the way.
00:27:39.840
In an article headline, no more master bedrooms, Minnesota real estate listings aim for inclusivity.
00:27:50.280
Agents say that calling the biggest bedroom and bathroom in a house, the master bedroom,
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.
00:28:20.100
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
00:28:42.360
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?
00:29:08.000
Apparently, it would avoid offending transgender or non-binary people.
00:29:18.660
Right, but why would that offend transgender people?
00:29:23.080
Instead of mother-in-law suite, it's now the guest house, or the in-law suite.
00:29:30.720
And any rooms that hint of two sexes, such as Jack and Jill bathrooms, have to be replaced
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.
00:29:59.500
Oh my gosh, Stu, the crime dog has just given me yet another story, because Barack knows
00:30:10.180
Today, the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, the ABM, which I'm a member of.
00:30:26.760
They have new guidelines introducing lactation-related language.
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.

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