00:01:24.720 your wedding for mean it she's not that great honestly this special is

00:01:30.100 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:01:41.840 well i don't know about you but every time i see a story i immediately want to run and get a fact

00:01:51.980 check i mean they are so good aren't they these fact i'm sorry fact check are so accurate

00:02:02.840 and it allows me to be able to read the things in the media and then i go come on that can't be true

00:02:11.960 joe biden doesn't look a day over 40 fact check he's actually 56

00:02:20.500 and then you're like oh okay all right stop calling him old 56 isn't old and i got that

00:02:28.240 information from fact check okay so fact check is now claiming that rittenhouse's possession of a

00:02:37.320 weapon wasn't legal now they've already done that um but politifact got its fact check again

00:02:46.240 on the possession of a weapon of course he he carried that thing across state lines fact check

00:02:54.700 no he didn't no he didn't he didn't he got it from his father there in kenosha okay uh now the

00:03:02.740 the uh the judge has said in the murder trial that it's not illegal for a 17 year old to have

00:03:13.260 a long rifle fact check if he's going hunting that's what fact check said if he's going hunting

00:03:22.740 okay so here's the thing um politifact fact fact check as assert as asserted uh that carrying a rifle

00:03:34.540 across state lines is perfectly legal this is the challenge to them uh based on the laws that i can

00:03:41.460 find in this area at 17 years old kyle was perfectly legal to possess that rifle without parental

00:03:46.800 supervision is that true state law suggests it's not now the the fact check said uh that uh it's

00:04:00.900 the wisconsin department of justice honors concealed carry permits issued in illinois but rittenhouse

00:04:08.080 didn't have a permit to begin with and he is not legally old enough to carry a firearm in wisconsin

00:04:14.380 well wait a minute wait a minute the law says we know what the law says children ages 16 and 17 are

00:04:22.520 allowed to carry a shotgun or a long rifle to hunt but it doesn't apply to rittenhouse because

00:04:28.520 he wasn't in kenosha to hunt i thought the whole premise of their of the case against them or was he

00:04:35.780 was there to hunt there's no there's no legal mention exception for short-barreled guns well he

00:04:42.680 didn't have a short-barreled gun okay now

00:04:45.920 the judge recently dismissed a misdemeanor charge possession of a dangerous weapon by a

00:04:52.920 person under 18 against kyle rittenhouse readers asked us if this made fact check invalid we don't

00:05:00.400 think so and here's why wisconsin law says any person under 18 of age who possesses or goes armed

00:05:06.640 with a dangerous weapon is guilty of a class a misdemeanor in our fact check we cite the possibility

00:05:12.140 of an exception for rifles and shotguns the exception is aimed at letting children ages 16 to 17 to hunt

00:05:18.080 but as it is also clear rittenhouse wasn't in kenosha to hunt why what is the fact checker

00:05:29.460 so is that just authoritative because i'm a fact checker voice of god i am a fact checker don't

00:05:35.720 what are you i'm just trying to question fact check stew sucks fact check all right well there you go

00:05:42.400 okay now so here's the thing they they go on uh the ruling does appear at odds with the intent of the

00:05:48.000 legislators in 2018 the wisconsin legislative council staff a non-partisan legislative service

00:05:54.540 agency it came to the congressional research service wrote under wisconsin law with certain

00:05:58.820 exceptions for hunting military service and target practice a person under the age of 18 is generally

00:06:03.600 generally prohibited from possessing or going armed with a firearm fact check these subsequent events

00:06:11.240 show the gray areas of local gun laws hardly a case of something being perfectly legal

00:06:17.620 fact check remains unchanged wow so even though the judge said and threw the case out because

00:06:29.260 the law says he he does not violate the the statute he said that it is it doesn't and it is murky

00:06:37.740 quote it is murky okay yeah that's the same feedback i got when i asked a firearms expert the same

00:06:43.900 thing so when it's murky and you're in the court of law what does law say the benefit of the doubt

00:06:52.640 goes to when it's murky tie goes to the runner right i mean it's it's uh yep it is it should go to

00:06:59.700 the defense yeah it goes to the defense so the judge did until proven he was even louder

00:07:07.000 that's how this works whoever screams the loudest with the most echo fact check then they just try

00:07:13.880 to shut you down and that's so that's all it is so the judge wins here i don't know if anyone knows

00:07:18.500 that yeah the judge wins fact check we win politifact does not beat we win the judge we win

00:07:25.800 it's okay well there you go so fact check by the way the guy who wrote this fact check

00:07:33.220 you might be interested in knowing uh that he has written another fact check usa today's fact check

00:07:42.500 uh when uh when joe biden was checking his watch all the way you know on the on the tarmac when the

00:07:48.360 yeah how many coffins are coming out of here jeez i got things to do i've got a i've got a nap

00:07:54.640 the the super bird is on special at denny's at four this afternoon how many well usa today was there

00:08:06.420 with daniel funk fact checker daniel funk is the guy who said that is not true

00:08:15.600 so-called checking his watch during the dignified transfer ceremony in honor of the 13 u.s

00:08:25.480 service members who were killed in a terrorist attack outside the kabul airport it's partially

00:08:31.060 false because it occurred only after the ceremony and i'm a fact checker fact check fact check it only

00:08:38.200 happened after the ceremony he never checked his watch while the coffins were there well

00:08:43.840 then somebody else said um hey dude uh here's the videotape all right all right he did check his

00:08:53.840 watch multiple times during the ceremony but i'm only changing it from partly false to missing context

00:09:00.960 because you didn't know about the super fact check this is constant with these with these fact

00:09:06.800 checkers they're so bad at this it's like just be honest it's okay to admit occasionally that someone

00:09:13.040 you don't like is in no it's not no it's not not according to today's journalism rules i want to go

00:09:20.220 to project veritas project veritas has just released some video from a guy in the newsroom in uh at the

00:09:27.000 san antonio cbs television station if you are in san diego and you are for all of this bullcrap

00:09:33.580 you've found your station but if you live in san diego and you're in san diego sorry sorry sorry i'm so

00:09:40.660 used to california san antonio if you're living in san antonio and you don't have to you don't

00:09:47.900 happen to agree with all this bullcrap uh then you need to know the cbs affiliate what they're being

00:09:54.740 taught listen to this i don't want to destroy the news i don't want to i don't want anybody to get

00:09:59.980 fired i want people to change and realize that they are supposed to be objective i challenge you to

00:10:06.720 stop thinking in terms of objective journalism because and we'll discuss why that's not really

00:10:13.000 feasible anymore i don't really care if people trust us or not you still got to do your job so i mean

00:10:17.360 that's the least of my concerns whether they trust me or not objectivity and trust are two of the

00:10:22.260 cornerstones of journalism but inside one of the nation's largest media companies writers producers

00:10:27.780 editors reporters and anchors are literally being trained to not be objective and in the words of that

00:10:33.820 news anchor from houston they do not care if they lose your trust wouldn't they want to be trusted

00:10:39.940 to me that seems like that's part of the job that you need trust to be able to do your job your job is

00:10:46.480 to inform and if you can't trust who you're getting that news from you're not doing your job stop the

00:10:54.760 important thing here to me was um the fact that they're saying it is not feasible anymore to be

00:11:02.460 objective why isn't it feasible to be objective because that's not the reporter's job anymore according

00:11:09.960 to their new training you're not objective you must see everything through the eyes of the oppressed

00:11:18.840 and that's the only way to view it so there are no objective facts you don't you don't enter a room

00:11:27.940 neutral you enter with the eyes of the oppressed and you look at the news and say yeah well fact check

00:11:38.120 fact check you know is here to to tell you that that rittenhouse he still was with an illegal gun

00:11:47.400 he still was i know what the law says and i know that it was murky and i know that the judge has a right

00:11:53.960 to and in fact i know that the judge has to rule on murky things in favor of the defense but that's not

00:12:02.240 really true that's not what's really going on so you're not going to get objective facts it's not that

00:12:09.680 it's not that they even have an agenda which they do it's not that they have malice which they do

00:12:18.700 they are now being taught that being objective is wrong

00:12:25.960 so what good is the news because if you're coming in it with a certain point of view i've always hated

00:12:37.780 the reporters uh who have come in and really pretty much anybody who have come in and made their mind up

00:12:45.620 about me or something that i do and will not even tolerate the answers that don't fit into that

00:12:56.460 narrow narrative i've seen it their eyes glaze over and i just think edit floor edit floor edit floor

00:13:02.980 all of this stuff you're saying edit floor and then they position questions and answers exactly the way

00:13:09.260 they want them so they can get you because they've already made the decision they knew the story they're

00:13:17.300 just getting the scenes they want well that's not fairness that's not fair if you haven't gotten

00:13:25.220 yourself a rec tech yet what are you waiting for i actually have two oh yeah oh yeah one in my

00:14:24.240 this is the best of the glenn beck program and we really want to thank you for listening

00:14:31.520 jedediah bela is uh with us she was on the view yesterday she was going to do just a

00:14:46.040 a segment on her uh on her new book called dear hartley uh and in in something that was

00:14:54.140 completely unexpected i'm sure to the ladies on the view she didn't come in she was she was on

00:15:00.780 remote and one of the ladies said gee jedediah we were so looking forward to having you in here

00:15:07.280 why aren't you here in the studio and jedediah said what jedediah how are you glenn so what i said

00:15:17.700 i gave my explanation as to why i've opted not to get vaccinated which is twofold one is that i have

00:15:24.800 a medical exemption from my vaccinated infectious disease specialist in new york city who has said

00:15:30.840 along with the support of three additional doctors that this just doesn't make sense for me it's not a

00:15:35.400 good idea for me there's more risk for me than benefit because coupled with that is my high level

00:15:42.900 natural immunity i had covid 19 months ago i've been tracking that immunity with him for a very

00:15:49.160 long time it's high it's unwavering it's multifaceted i provided lab documentation with

00:15:55.180 my exemption that wasn't good enough but that's why i've chosen not to get the vaccine and you know i i

00:16:02.000 really went on you know just so you know we i had done a pre-interview you know they were very familiar

00:16:07.000 with how i felt about mandates i knew that i was going to go there and talk about the book but i also

00:16:12.420 knew we were going to you know supposedly have a conversation about these mandates they don't

00:16:16.720 have conversations you know that you used to be on the view i mean how i did oh i don't know how you

00:16:24.600 survived i was saying to myself well they know how i feel about this they're inviting me on so obviously

00:16:31.500 we're going to talk about it obviously you know you saw how it went down i was labeled as misinforming

00:16:36.300 the public for really stating cdc fact now i'm no fan of the cdc because i think that they

00:16:42.180 politicized this despicably we saw that with respect to the teachers unions and how they

00:16:47.380 policy in schools we've seen that with numerous things that ridiculous study they put out on

00:16:53.140 natural immunity that made no sense where they cherry pick data and they they they basically

00:16:58.400 look at people who are in the hospital with covet like symptoms and say that that's supposed to

00:17:03.540 somehow represent the general population that study that they put out by the way has been

00:17:07.240 debunked by at least 16 other studies i now i now know of 129 studies that support the existence of

00:17:14.860 natural immunity and if you don't believe that you can also look at history because natural immunity is

00:17:18.700 not new it's been around for hundreds of years but i basically went on the show and said look i don't

00:17:23.780 support mandates regardless regardless of my personal you know situation where i have this natural

00:17:28.760 immunity where i have these medical exemptions i don't support the mandates because they're not

00:17:32.780 grounded in science if you are vaccinated it is a fact that you can still get covet and you can still

00:17:38.240 transmit covet that is on the cdc's own website the cdc director has come out and said that herself that

00:17:44.120 is why they brought masking back in for vaccinated people because they said uh-oh delta is spreading

00:17:49.040 like wildfire among the vaccinated you see hundreds of thousands of breakthrough cases around the

00:17:53.800 country that is not disinformation those are facts so i thought it was really interesting that it was

00:18:00.100 labeled that way um and that's just what you see going around around the country you're supposed

00:18:04.420 to be able to ask questions when it comes to science anyone anywhere who is preventing people

00:18:10.160 from asking questions whether it's about their own health or the health of their children you need to be

00:18:14.920 suspicious of because that is not science that is propaganda so i mean were you really surprised

00:18:23.620 that they would treat you this way and cut you off and i mean because that's that is the way they deal

00:18:30.320 with everyone who disagrees with them you know this was an interesting unfolding because i was supposed to

00:18:37.760 host there in october i had submitted my exemption it was actually approved at the time they came to my

00:18:44.180 house they co-tested me i was happy to get tested and then you know suddenly the policy changed and it was

00:18:49.360 only vaccinated people were allowed in the building so you know the executive producer over there happens

00:18:54.940 to be a really nice guy um he's just a pretty decent person in an indecent business as i always say

00:19:00.260 but he was communicating with me and saying we're going to put you onto the book regardless you know

00:19:04.620 as i said i did a pre-interview so you know i have to say you know some of those people

00:19:10.100 sunny was at my wedding i mean i i was very surprised in that moment that they wouldn't at least i mean

00:19:16.080 the expectation that i would listen to political pundits or bill de blasio or joe biden about my

00:19:23.100 personal health decisions and not my own doctors that's kind of fascinating to me and that admission

00:19:28.940 on air and there was no you know there was no pushback on what i was saying because what were they

00:19:33.580 going to do go against the cdc i was putting out and the reason i cited the cdc is because people on

00:19:39.540 the left side the cdc all the time so i said okay so you'll love the cdc so much and i can you know name

00:19:45.600 numerous instances of cases where the cdc just found out an 80 percent mask efficacy tweet that

00:19:51.200 is utterly ridiculous are they talking about n95 masks fitted for doctors and hospitals or a cute

00:19:56.400 little leopard print cloth mask from etsy that i can buy tomorrow that's fashionable and stylish but

00:20:01.400 does virtually nothing so let's be honest about the cdc but i used their data because i know hey you

00:20:07.140 guys love the cdc all right this is what the cdc is saying if you can be vaccinated and you can transmit

00:20:13.080 this virus and we see that happening throughout the country give me the scientific justification

00:20:17.140 for a mandate no response because there is none glenn and the truth is that the reason i go on

00:20:22.700 shows like that i've always been outnumbered i've been a conservative new york city you're brave i

00:20:28.360 worked by the way you're the first person in this industry that ever hired me i don't even know if you

00:20:32.600 remember that but you put me on real news well i i knew you worked for me i didn't know what you

00:20:37.160 were the first one that i was the first one to hire you you were the first person i had i was fresh

00:20:42.860 out of academia i had taught in a woke very very woke private school in new york city for years by

00:20:49.740 the way taught through six flu seasons never once heard about masking kids never once heard about

00:20:55.220 mandates on kids and we know that the flu is more dangerous to the children to children not to

00:20:59.960 adults but to children than covet 19 so that's been an interesting uh experience for me but you put me on

00:21:05.740 tv you were the first one and i i've always been outnumbered so i'm kind of comfortable in those

00:21:11.060 settings and i think it's important to go there because the bottom line is i did speak facts and

00:21:17.120 there are people out there audience members i'm not going to convince the host that's not why i'm there

00:21:22.040 but there are people in the audience that say well hold on a second let me look that is she right what

00:21:27.400 and and i don't care if it's one percent i don't care if it's 0.05 percent i don't care what it is

00:21:33.280 this message needs to get out in all mediums because people are losing their jobs people are

00:21:38.480 having to choose between well do i listen to my doctor's advice or do i listen to you know big

00:21:44.360 corporate media which oftentimes i feel like is very friendly these days with big pharma and big

00:21:49.120 hollywood and big tech all the big seem to be having a blast oh yeah right but um i think it is

00:21:57.380 important to get the message out there so and let's hope it was heard let me ask you let me ask

00:22:02.920 you if you have felt a difference in the country in the last even just the last year where i mean it

00:22:12.600 used to feel like we were wildly outnumbered and you know when i started the 912 project it was like

00:22:19.820 you're not alone you're not alone majority feels like this i am starting to feel that even democrats

00:22:27.020 are starting to go enough is enough do you feel that way i agree i agree with you and i'm still

00:22:34.720 in new york city although i'm going to be moving uh we're looking at properties in texas because i i

00:22:39.660 cannot support this madness with my tax dollars anymore and i have a two-year-old you know i wrote

00:22:44.580 this book dear heartley for my kid for everyone's kid we can talk about that in a second but you know

00:22:49.180 i can't look at my child and say that it makes sense to raise him in a place where freedom doesn't

00:22:55.100 exist and you walk into new york city these days it reads like a bad dystopian novel so i do agree

00:23:00.720 that things are changing and i said this from the beginning they pushed too far with these mandates

00:23:06.200 everyone has their line some people you'd be surprised they said oh you know i'm gonna i don't

00:23:11.940 need the vaccination i have the natural immunity but for convenience i'm gonna get it so they got it

00:23:16.280 now now they're coming around the bend and saying oh fauci says oh by the way as you well know

00:23:21.260 you know there's more people in the hospital and there's more people dying even that are vaccinated

00:23:25.420 the immunity is waning so you've got to get a booster people are saying oh you're going to tell

00:23:29.420 me now i need to get a booster what every six months there are people now that said okay that's

00:23:32.880 my line i'm done then there's people that would even be willing to do that for themselves but they're

00:23:37.500 not willing to do that for their children maybe their children had covid for five minutes and had

00:23:41.320 the sniffles and they're saying no this is not necessary i'm doing my own risk benefit analysis so

00:23:46.160 i think people are looking at the creeping normality that happens with big government big government

00:23:51.300 comes in little by little as we know and then all of a sudden before you know it you have no freedom

00:23:56.060 i was battling mandates back in the early obamacare days on the view by the way saying that people should

00:24:02.480 not be mandated to have health insurance if they didn't want to that was like you know the big debate

00:24:07.220 of the time look at what's happened in such a short period of time now it's not just about mandating

00:24:12.540 that you have health insurance but they can mandate that you get vaccinated for something

00:24:16.520 that you may not need and your own doctor says is not for you or you can't eat a sandwich in a

00:24:22.240 restaurant in new york city because bill de blasio knows more about your health than you do or your

00:24:25.860 doctors do give me a break is that and that's changing even in new york city you're feeling that

00:24:32.040 in new york city enough is enough there were a lot of protests in new york city that i saw there are a

00:24:38.200 lot of people who have picked up and left there are a lot of people who currently have businesses that are

00:24:42.240 actively looking to relocate some have done so already to places like florida and texas and

00:24:47.380 tennessee i do i feel it tangibly on the ground that people have had enough um and these businesses

00:24:55.060 don't want to do this you know they know that it's not good business to be able to they're checking

00:24:59.140 ids at the door for for covid vaccination this is crazy so i think ultimately what you're going to

00:25:05.320 have though is you're going to have a united states of america that is highly divided you're going to

00:25:11.520 have states that look nothing like each other because everyone who agrees with this type of

00:25:15.860 psychosis is going to flock to places like new york city where people in power will appease them and

00:25:21.440 will say okay we'll create a little communist regime here to make you happy and then the people

00:25:26.060 who want freedom for themselves their families their children and don't want to live under those

00:25:30.720 regulations are going to flock to other places and these states are going to i don't know how they're

00:25:34.900 going to coexist maybe they never visit each other maybe these people grow increasingly distant from each

00:25:41.080 other but real excess is not going to i mean it's already not recognizable you know comparable to

00:25:46.520 new york but i think in the next five years you're going to see such an enormous disparity

00:25:50.040 and you see that with the governors look at de santa standing up and saying i'm not allowing you

00:25:55.540 know the biden administration decide that there's a hundred employees or more i mean this is you realize

00:26:00.460 the insanity of this joe biden coming out now joe biden knows more about what's good for you and

00:26:06.560 your family at the most fundamental level your health if you don't have your health you have

00:26:12.480 nothing do not give those people do not give political bureaucrats or corporate bureaucrats

00:26:18.720 that kind of power it's insanity okay um jededi first of all i hope you move to texas and if you do

00:26:25.740 remember i i have the paramount lot here uh i bought the the uh old movie studios we have plenty

00:26:32.100 of room would love to uh love to have you around uh again you're you're fantastic so move to dallas

00:26:38.760 anyway uh beyond that i i do want to touch on your book because your book is talking about some of this

00:26:45.320 stuff um in a i think in a really really good way that you know a lot of women uh who are you know not

00:26:55.120 caught from our cloth will understand and wrap their arms around so in dear heartley uh some of

00:27:02.760 the things that you write about is you know the covid pandemic navigating into new york with a newborn

00:27:09.120 baby um uh masculinity chivalry and being a good man which i think is critical we are we are a nation

00:27:20.780 of weak and pathetic men and that's why we have a weak and pathetic country right now quite honestly

00:27:26.700 um but you touch on a couple things in several chapters um the strength of empathy and another

00:27:36.100 chapter is on humility um why are those so important right now yeah you know i wrote this book initially

00:27:44.980 you know i started during the pandemic i wrote it for my kid i had a i was looking at him we were

00:27:49.520 spending a lot of time indoors unfortunately he wasn't able to socialize as he should have been

00:27:53.840 uh doing unfortunately because everything was shut down in new york city but i was looking at him i said

00:27:59.000 i have so many things to say to him so it started as letters to him this has really now become in many

00:28:04.280 ways letters for all of us it's for students it's for parents grandparents it's for anyone who cares

00:28:09.020 deeply about this next generation and what's happening in the world so some of the things i talk about

00:28:14.100 you know i talk about the american dream glenn you know i grew up in a small condo behind the staten

00:28:18.700 island mall people used to joke oh you grew up behind the staten island duck it was true that's

00:28:22.840 where i grew up you know my parents had to work really hard to pay off that mortgage but i somehow

00:28:27.780 landed on television so i wanted my child to know the value of growing up in a country like this

00:28:32.800 of opportunity of what that means of what he's capable of uh i talk a lot about practical skills and

00:28:40.600 how being you know i went to columbia university and i graduated i had this fancy degree i couldn't do

00:28:46.140 anything i didn't know how to do anything all these people around the country and i have a friend in

00:28:51.080 texas who you know homeschools this little girl and works on a farm and part of her homeschooling

00:28:55.780 is learning all of that and she knows how to defend herself and i said you know what i would trade in

00:29:00.420 my ap calculus for those skills any day of the week so i wanted him to understand what that means

00:29:06.080 you know the sense of self-reliance that comes from that and self-empowerment um you know we talk about

00:29:12.080 empathy talk about character one of the chapters is you the architect which really links into a lot

00:29:18.580 of what's going on in the world now and it's about being the architect of your own life and

00:29:22.680 you have the ability to determine what you want your future to look like in so many ways and

00:29:28.200 you know i i struggled with lyme disease a few years ago that i had my own health journey

00:29:32.360 and what was key to that was me believing you know what i'm empowered to fix this and i'm going to

00:29:38.280 seek out doctors that i feel supported by and i'm going to get into a health regimen so i don't want

00:29:43.660 a child that feels powerless i want a child that has the courage of his convictions that can walk

00:29:49.260 into a room full of people that disagree with him and speak his mind you know i get into diversity of

00:29:54.580 thought in the book and education and what that should look like and i never want him to cower

00:29:58.920 in a system that has decided what he should think instead of enable him enabling him to think

00:30:05.540 and i talk about character i talk about you know empathy this past year was hard for a lot of

00:30:13.820 people people lost loved ones as a result of covid people lost businesses they worked their whole lives

00:30:19.620 to set up a business and and they lose it because of lockdowns you know people had to lose income i

00:30:25.800 mean this is a book for everyone this is a book that everyone will relate to and it's about the values

00:30:31.880 that you want to preserve for yourself and for your neck for the next generation the name of the book

00:30:36.380 is dear heartley jedediah it is great to talk to you again and uh great to see that you're doing well

00:30:42.540 god bless thank you glenn thank you dear heartley available uh in bookstores everywhere the best of the

00:30:51.480 i want to give you the truth about something you already know but no one will no one will ever

00:31:05.040 report on this because it goes against the narrative you know inflation is bad you know that we are

00:31:11.680 paying higher prices for almost everything um when it comes to gasoline it was reported this morning

00:31:18.220 six hundred million dollars a day extra at the gas pump that's what we spend every day six hundred

00:31:28.120 million dollars more for our gasoline and this is all caused intentionally by the biden administration

00:31:36.720 they are the ones that are controlling supply um it's a centralized planned economy as much as they can get

00:31:45.760 it um the one thing that the fed and and biden and everybody is saying that they're going to fix the

00:31:54.200 economy uh and it's really the it's really these workers that just won't go to work they're not really even

00:32:01.100 saying that but that is partly true um then as soon as we get people not be afraid of covid they can

00:32:08.640 all go back to work and then everything's gonna be fine and the the inflation is transitory that's bullcrap

00:32:15.040 wages are up 4.6 percent from this point last year okay so if you're going to work your wages may have

00:32:26.380 gone up by 4.6 percent however the bureau of labor statistics consumer expenditure survey

00:32:34.600 found that housing which accounts for one third of the average household's budget one third

00:32:41.920 is up 20 percent from last year transportation your fuel is up 60 percent now that's no small thing

00:32:53.240 with the average household spending 16 percent of its budget on transportation so already 16 percent of

00:33:00.220 your budget is gone is gone and fuel is up 60 percent and your home is up 20 percent food which makes up

00:33:09.320 13 percent of the average family budget is up 5.3 personal insurance and health care

00:33:16.080 easily eat up nearly a fifth of household budget they are up eight percent clothing is up 3.1

00:33:23.460 the average budget uh 4.3 all in all this means that the most necessary 85 percent of the average family

00:33:34.380 household household budget has costs 21.7 percent more than last year and 62 percent of that budget goes

00:33:45.380 to food shelter and transportation and that is 27 percent higher i don't think your 4.6 uh increase of

00:33:55.260 your paycheck covers a 27 percent increase on the things that make up the majority of your budget do you

00:34:02.440 and we haven't really seen real inflation yet um craft kellogg frito-lay goya has said they have to

00:34:14.260 increase the prices of their products craft says they're going to increase by 20 percent all of the craft

00:34:21.580 products good thing we don't buy a lot of stuff from craft huh

00:34:26.020 i have a friend who's been on the program before um it's uh bob unanway he is the president and ceo of

00:34:36.480 goya foods this is a guy who worked the production line he drove the trucks he's now the president and ceo and

00:34:43.480 uh has made goya into a self-sustaining uh company by opening up a steel cutting factory for the cans and

00:34:52.700 they print their own labels and everything else bob tell me about the reality of your business

00:34:59.260 and what's happening well great to hear from you glenn and great to uh talk with you after

00:35:06.580 uh being with you this summer with tim ballard uh in utah who's a great um you know from day one glenn

00:35:15.900 we've been working we never stop working uh the problem is we're like a modern day prodigal children

00:35:23.780 out on a spending spree we're being thrown all this money incentivized to stay home not to work

00:35:30.540 we need a reason to get up in the morning god family work school to taking away our spirit

00:35:37.720 where it's gluttony it's gluttony and the the the highest costs are coming from asia because we want

00:35:46.980 everything and everything that's coming in from asia the roadblocks uh the log jams at the ports

00:35:53.560 in in long beach are because we're buying so much we're not we're producing less here uh when we were

00:36:01.680 uh talking out in utah 150 billion dollars is the uh amount the industry of child and human

00:36:11.580 trafficking that number recently uh swelled i believe to 200 billion you know but when you're

00:36:18.980 talking trillions that's not a big deal but we have we're the biggest consumers of goods we're the

00:36:26.000 biggest consumers of traffic who are the biggest consumer of drugs and so you know there's a saying

00:36:33.040 you know by the which is disputed but by the person that built dubai who said my grandfather

00:36:40.160 rode a camel my dad rode a camel i drive a mercedes my son drives a mercedes my grandson will ride

00:36:47.880 a range rover but my great-grandson excuse me will ride a camel why because hard times create strong

00:36:55.740 men strong men create easy times easy times create uh soft men hard times yeah soft men and soft

00:37:03.540 men create hard times yeah we need to create warriors not parasites but we are becoming parasites you know

00:37:10.940 part of our day a lot of the people in this country don't pay taxes we're working every day

00:37:16.840 for other people not to work you know we've become like kennedy said ask not what your country can do for

00:37:24.400 you what you can do for your country we got to get up every day and work we're working for people

00:37:30.260 not to work this is crazy we these are easy times and this is not going to last we're going to be like

00:37:35.700 the prodigal sons coming home on on their hands and knees begging to be brought back in this country

00:37:43.400 cannot sustain itself this way it amazes me bob are you having a problem at goya with getting enough

00:37:49.100 workers yes yes uh and everybody is you know we we were running extra shifts because of demand

00:37:58.280 we've had to cut down to you know single shifts longer hours do more with less you know our our

00:38:05.200 wages went up uh close to 70 percent from uh two years ago so because people aren't uh you know

00:38:13.780 they're not they're not working you got to compete with the government that's throwing money at people

00:38:18.300 to stay home but what good is it when you when you stay home and do nothing you are taking away our

00:38:25.380 reason to get up in the morning reason to live to work to produce so bob i have i have read that there

00:38:35.320 is going to be a shortage of aluminum cans because aluminum will be hard to find you started when you

00:38:43.620 took over goya one of the things you did was you you made yourself kind of independent you make your

00:38:48.040 own cans and everything else is there going to be a can shortage or is that yeah well there's a

00:38:55.860 shortage of everything you know uh it's it's steel uh we do a lot we do steel cans with the tin coatings

00:39:03.640 uh but there's shortages of of crowns for for bottles there's shortage of glass there's shortages of

00:39:11.200 lumber i figured out the why there's shortage of lumber and that's because they're printing so much

00:39:15.800 darn money using all the wood for paper but you know housing costs all these construction costs

00:39:24.820 you can't get things and you know our demand locally is is there's inflation there but the

00:39:32.720 big inflation is coming from products that we're importing from overseas and just we can't be satisfied

00:39:39.540 enough the gluttony is too much we need things but we you know you go out to eat you go out to the

00:39:45.900 stores it's help wanted signs all over the place in the beginning let you know last year during covet we

00:39:52.340 were working we didn't have the problem the problem occurred when all these this money flew out you know

00:39:58.260 to everybody and say don't worry about going to work just stay home and relax but you know i worked

00:40:05.060 the production line when i was 10 years old and a minute seemed like an hour and if you put a kid

00:40:10.260 and you sit him at home you know like they say the idle mind is a devil's workshop you can do no good

00:40:17.120 if you don't have a purpose to get up every day and it is amazing how you can write your own uh ticket

00:40:23.580 at this point my son just started working at pizza hut and he he in one night made 95 dollars in tips

00:40:32.380 in tips at a pizza hut it was it's crazy and i i told him i said son you know if you work hard

00:40:41.180 you could be running it in a year or two because people are not coming to work and when they do

00:40:48.480 they're not necessarily you know the hardest workers hard-working people now is their time

00:40:54.720 especially for youth and they have to work hard because they're usually the only people in the place

00:41:01.620 you know uh if you usually have a staff of 20 this is five or six yeah well they've got to do more

00:41:08.860 with less yeah um bob is there any doubt in your mind is this is this inflation that we're seeing

00:41:15.860 is this transitory is this just going to cure itself you know this is uh you know this is we're moving

00:41:25.600 away from god we're we're not we're throwing money at more and more people don't pay taxes when i when

00:41:32.900 i got out of college i made four bucks an hour and i made eight thousand a year and i paid taxes i don't

00:41:40.100 care how much you make if you you got it we have to produce we have to pay taxes if we don't if we keep

00:41:46.580 raising the bar they say tax the rich but people who are working are being taxed and the people who

00:41:53.060 are not working are getting the benefit of that as long as that persists as a modus operandi

00:41:59.560 the this is is not just inflation it's the dismantling the destruction of our nation you're

00:42:06.620 exactly right bob thank you for everything that you do president and ceo of goya foods

00:42:12.220 um it's uh robert or bob unanway uh from goya thank you as always bob for everything that you do

00:42:19.500 that guy is really involved in charity as well he's a great guy
