Coming up on the podcast, we talked to Jason Buttrell about what is going on with the Flynn
00:00:03.740
investigation. And there is so much going on here. It's been an amazing thing to unravel.

You can actually get the big special from Glenn tonight. Glenn will reveal the case against

seeing some issues with his fellow Republicans on the way they're handling these things. We go into
00:00:47.360
that. And we talked to a couple of women who decided to look at everything that was going
00:00:56.080
on in the world and use their entrepreneurial skills to solve something in the marketplace
00:01:00.900

I am just stunned by the revelations in the Mary Trump book. I'm stunned by this bombshell
00:01:36.660
book. I actually, I'm hearing, I'm hearing NPR and, and, and the New York Times report on
00:01:46.680
this bombshell a book. I can't find the bombshell in it. Um, you know, maybe, maybe, maybe there
00:01:53.660
is something, but I would think that they would lead with the bombshell. Um, first of all, uh,
00:01:58.960
Trump apparently, uh, was a victim of child abuse at the hands of his father. Okay. Probably.
00:02:06.020
I mean, that would make sense to me. Although the president says, no, he was a loving father.
00:02:10.140
Yeah. Yeah. Why? Probably. Why? Because I think that there was something, because I think my feeling
00:02:18.760
is that, um, something stunted his, uh, growth, something tragic stunted his growth, um, in,
00:02:28.980
you know, in his younger years and a, a cruel, uh, abusive or negligent father would, would do that,
00:02:37.020
you know, could do that. But anyway, that even if it's Dr. Beck, I know you are a doctor and
00:02:42.860
everything, but it's an interesting assessment. I am. I, I am a doctor. I know you are. I have.
00:02:49.280
Yeah. So, which means you can detect any illness of any, any part of the body, I think
00:02:55.900
in humans, doctor lung cancer. I can do it all anyway. Uh, uh, uh, so, but, but that,
00:03:04.300
that makes him, uh, uh, uh, sympathetic character. If he had, if he had suffered abuses from his
00:03:12.420
father, that is a sympathetic character. So there's no bombshell there for me. Um, then neglected
00:03:22.180
by his workaholic father. Um, Oh, okay. That, that doesn't, that doesn't surprise me. Uh, she
00:03:30.960
also, um, alleges that Donald Trump paid a friend to take his eight SATs for him in school
00:03:36.940
in order to intend the university of Pennsylvania for the Wharton school of business. Well, she
00:03:43.060
was 16 when he was in college. So I'm not sure that she, you know, had her, her sleuthing
00:03:52.800
degree at that point. She offers, she offers no evidence. She just says, you know, uh, the
00:04:00.420
family always said, well, the family says a lot of stuff. You know what I mean? My family
00:04:06.960
says a lot of stuff that doesn't make it true. Um, and then, uh, she said, uh, she has no problem
00:04:15.020
calling Donald a narcissist, uh, a narcissist who does, who does, I mean, uh, let's see.
00:04:23.860
He meets, uh, all nine criteria as outlined in the diagnostic and statistical manual of
00:04:31.100
mental disorders. But then again, we already know this. What is it? 80 or 90% of CEOs also
00:04:40.940
hit that. They're saying that, you know, all CEOs are, are, uh, you know, pathological or,
00:04:49.540
or sociopaths. Well, yeah. Okay. So he's a big capitalist. I could probably see that happening.
00:04:56.640
It's not really a shock to anybody. Um, and then she says this, he's alleged to drink upwards
00:05:05.220
of 12 diet Cokes a day. He sleeps very little, uh, little, does he suffer from substance abuse,
00:05:12.820
a substance induced sleep disorder? Wow. Caffeine. Caffeine is a substance abuse. He has a horrible
00:05:22.360
diet. He doesn't exercise, which may contribute or exacerbate his other possible disorder. It's
00:05:27.920
possible. And then I love this in another section of the bombshell book, Mary, Mary
00:05:34.980
reveals Donald's eldest sister, Mary Ann, now a federal judge scoffed at his presidential run.
00:05:43.580
No, what a bombshell. Wow. It doesn't, I don't know. I can't even comprehend why this book would
00:05:55.100
make any difference. Like John Bolton was there in the middle of his white house, right? Like he's
00:05:59.900
there and I can see how something that John Bolton may have seen would be, would make some
00:06:03.940
difference to Americans. Why the hell would we care what his niece thinks about him? Why the hell
00:06:08.560
would we care about that? I can't even, I can't even comprehend why we would care about it. I know
00:06:12.120
both of you are conveniently ignoring, uh, maybe the biggest revelation of all that judge Trump,
00:06:19.320
Trump Barry, who is a devout Catholic. He doesn't think much of president Trump's evangelical
00:06:28.720
friends. I mean, she, now, how do you feel about his presidency? Wow. Wow. Wait a minute. A Catholic?
00:06:36.060
Yeah. A Catholic, a devout Catholic doesn't think much of his evangelical friends. No. You know what?
00:06:43.340
Another bombshell in the book of Glenn Beck. I'll bet you some of his evangelical friends don't think
00:06:50.680
much about his what brother or nephew or sister, whatever sisters, Catholic friends to really
00:07:01.320
bombshell. Do people really think that way? I guess maybe they do, but it's still like, again,
00:07:08.500
who cares? Like she cares. The big issue with Trump when he was, when, when, when he was first talking
00:07:15.580
about running and he mentioned his sister as a Supreme Court justice, our issue with that was
00:07:21.060
she's very liberal, right? So why, of course, of course he doesn't like his conservative evangelical
00:07:27.020
friends. Of course she doesn't. Right. Right. This is just inane. This is a money grab, right? I mean,
00:07:35.080
like, like she has inside information. She's wanting to exploit that in the middle of an election to grab a
00:07:41.040
bunch of cash, uh, because she doesn't like him and they haven't had gotten along in a long, long
00:07:46.160
time. Like this is just plainly a money grab. And they haven't gotten along because she blames
00:07:52.800
Donald Trump on changing her point of view about her dad. And she said something, uh, nasty to her dad,
00:08:00.260
which then she attributes to him really getting sick and giving up on life. Isn't this, isn't her dad,
00:08:06.860
the alcoholic brother? Yes, Fred, I think. Yeah. Right. Fred jr. Is. And I think Donald Trump has,
00:08:14.440
while she says that he's has no compassion and no empathy, I think I've seen him cry about his
00:08:20.660
brother, which was shocking to me. Yeah. Um, I mean, he feels deeply about his, his brother. So there's
00:08:29.980
clearly something there. If this is her attacking Donald Trump because, and she says it, um, I said
00:08:38.580
something to my dad that I think led to, you know, his downfall, blah, blah, blah. But I was influenced
00:08:44.800
by Donald Trump. My uncle, he said this and this and this, and I went to my dad and said, you know
00:08:49.780
what? I think he's right. And then that led to his downfall. Well, that just sounds like you feel bad
00:08:56.440
for saying something you said to your dad and you can't take responsibility for it. Yeah. That's
00:09:03.580
what it sounds like. There are so many revelations in this book though, that it's hard to cover them
00:09:08.780
all. Apparently. Is it? It is. It's really hard because apparently at one time when she was wearing
00:09:15.080
a bikini and he was around her when she was 19 years old, he said to her, well, Mary, you are stacked.
00:09:22.240
Uh, wow. Can you, can you even imagine that he would have said something like that?
00:09:30.980
I kind of can. I mean, you're going to your uncle's place. It's Donald Trump. That's exactly
00:09:39.600
what he's going to say. He said things that are seemingly odd about his own daughter. So I'm not
00:09:44.560
shocked about it, but again, what value would this have to Americans? Zero. Zero. Zero. This
00:09:52.720
is inane. Zero. It's just like, it's just a blatant money grab here. And the fact that the media is
00:09:59.240
trying to run with it as a, as any sort of, again, like there, there is at least value and an insider
00:10:04.560
inside of the administration who might have actual information about something that affects Americans.
00:10:09.620
This is, it's impossible. She has no, nothing that she can say would be at all interesting
00:10:14.700
to anyone unless you are like running an anti Donald Trump blog. Like there's just no, there's
00:10:21.240
no relevance. Can I, can I, can I ask for your help? So I don't end up hating people because
00:10:29.500
I don't want to hate, but I'm having a hard time not hating, hating some people. No, I just
00:10:34.940
hate when, no, I just dislike what they're doing. Right. Yes.
00:10:38.940
George Bush and this Lincoln project is pissing me off. These guys, they don't say anything
00:10:47.500
about Barack Obama and the fundamental transformation of America. We are fundamentally being transformed
00:10:55.360
right now. And they're coming out against Donald Trump. Are you, I mean, where are your priorities,
00:11:06.280
man? You're not going to have a country left. Did you say the Bush and the Lincoln project
00:11:10.660
or are they, I didn't even know they were tied together or they, I've seen some of those
00:11:15.280
Well, I think Bush, if Bush isn't involved in the Lincoln project, which I think he is,
00:11:19.920
but if he's not involved in the Lincoln project, all of his buddies are, and he's involved,
00:11:25.400
you know, behind the scenes with all of this anti-Trump stuff. All of the, all of the Bush
00:11:36.080
And many of them have already said that they're not planning to vote for Trump. They're going
00:11:39.900
to vote for Biden, which is despicable. I mean, what's the matter with you?
00:11:46.860
Seriously. At this juncture, when things are this serious, you're going to, you're considering
00:11:51.280
even voting for that guy. Come on. You're not a Republican then. You've never been a Republican.
00:11:57.920
No, you, you've been a deep state guy. Everything that we said that we didn't want to believe
00:12:03.620
about George Bush, I think is true. I mean, there is a coup going on against the constitution.
00:12:10.620
Forget about Donald Trump. Forget about him. There is a coup against the constitution and
00:12:17.660
against America herself. And it is directed by many of the people that are involved at
00:12:24.980
very high levels of the democratic party. What are you talking about? You really Donald
00:12:32.200
Trump is more of a threat to the country than black lives matter. The, all of the George
00:12:38.320
Soros operations, all of the things that are happening with the media, Donald Trump is
00:12:45.080
a bigger threat. I don't get it. It's bad. I don't get it. It's bad. Have you guys,
00:12:53.860
so do you believe, no, go ahead. Have you seen, have you seen the, the rapper? Uh, his name
00:12:59.820
is, uh, Lord Jamar talking about, I can say no, you could say no, you didn't have to. I
00:13:06.580
know you've got all of his, I know you have every CD he's ever put out. Uh, that's my gosh,
00:13:11.700
of course, but I know you love Lord Jamar. You just haven't heard his latest thing on
00:13:15.880
black lives matter. The guy actually says he's being interviewed and he, uh, somewhere along
00:13:22.780
the way says to the interviewer, I'm not a fan of black lives matter. And the interviewer is stunned
00:13:29.500
and he says, why not? Because it's not our movement. Uh, it's George Soros and his effing
00:13:36.440
boys that gave us that movement. Amazing. It's a true. Yeah. It's a great interview. If you,
00:13:42.300
if you want to take it, it's true. Yeah, it is true. I do want to take a peek at that. Um,
00:13:47.320
also, have you heard, have you guys seen, um, Hamilton? I tried to watch it. We got through
00:13:54.000
about four and a half minutes, I think before I thought, Hmm, too much singing. Yeah. I was
00:13:58.120
thinking it's really good. Yeah. I was thinking it's really good. We're coming up trying. We
00:14:02.020
had a long conversation, Pat and I yesterday, trying to think of anything that we could come
00:14:05.640
up with that I'd want to watch less. And, uh, and I was thinking Kitten Torture is where I got
00:14:10.080
to. And I couldn't, I was like, no, I'd rather watch the Kitten Torture. I will tell you,
00:14:13.080
I will tell you, it took me a while to get into it because raps, not my thing. I know that comes
00:14:19.880
as a shock to everybody listening raps, not my thing. Um, and I just assumed that it would be
00:14:27.500
loaded with anti-American stuff. Okay. Yeah. And there were a couple of lines, a couple of lines,
00:14:34.500
but not really. Uh, I mean, they make George Washington look really good. They make the founders
00:14:39.840
look good. Uh, Hamilton looks good, which I disagree with, but Hamilton looks good.
00:14:46.920
Now black lives matter. And, and all of these social justice warriors are trying to get it
00:14:52.420
banned on Disney. Right? Yeah. And I think take it off Broadway as well. I don't think the Disney
00:14:58.000
thing's enough for, I mean, I think they want it gone. Oh no, it's not. It's not. It's hard
00:15:02.360
not to laugh at that though. I mean, if this doesn't tell you, well, except they're successful
00:15:06.580
in so many things. I know everyone is folding. I mean, when Disney hires Colin Kaepernick
00:15:12.360
to do documentaries for them, I mean, you don't think that they'd bail on this? I am. You
00:15:18.340
have to understand what I'm saying. It's, it's, it's, I know it's bad. However, it's also
00:15:23.660
hard not to laugh at it when, when liberals eat their own. I mean, it's just, that's true.
00:15:28.220
It's like, this is them. This is their cherished piece of art of the past decade. And Lin-Manuel
00:15:33.940
Miranda is agreeing with the criticism. Yeah. It's unreal. Oh my gosh. Yeah. He's agreeing
00:15:40.220
with it. That's insane. The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:15:51.320
Hey, it's Glenn and you're listening to the Glenn Beck program. If you like what you're
00:15:55.040
hearing on this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed. It's available wherever
00:15:59.840
you download your favorite podcasts. Jim DeMint is joining us now, chairman of conservative
00:16:04.940
party, uh, uh, partnership Institute, uh, and author of saving America from socialism,
00:16:10.960
former U S congressman and, uh, or Senator and, um, and really truly one of the guys that was
00:16:18.900
really one of the leading voices during the tea party movement. Welcome, uh, Jim DeMint. How are you,
00:16:25.920
sir? Hey, Glenn, it's been too long. Uh, uh, thanks for all you're doing to save our country and,
00:16:32.280
and, and to keep the ideas that, uh, work here in America out in front of folks. So hope to see you
00:16:38.100
soon. So, uh, Jim, let me ask you where, where are your colleagues in the Senate and the house
00:16:45.760
standing up against all that is going on? This is, this is the most amazing, well-coordinated,
00:16:53.060
well-financed, easily trackable, um, attempted coup against our nation that I have ever seen.
00:17:04.040
Where are your former colleagues? I don't know, Glenn, and I'm, I'm very disappointed. I mean,
00:17:11.820
I've been critical of Republicans before for not standing up. You mentioned the tea party for the
00:17:17.200
most part, the Republican party just gave a big stiff arm to all those Americans who just wanted,
00:17:23.040
responsible government and the government not invading their lives. But, uh, I mean,
00:17:29.140
there are Republicans around the country. A lot of some of the Republican governors are really
00:17:34.120
pushing back and standing strong, but they're getting so much grief. And I think that's why
00:17:39.320
Republicans in the house and the Senate are, are just, uh, hiding under their desk is because
00:17:44.700
they, they, they don't feel like anybody's got their back, but, uh, they do there. Everybody I'm
00:17:51.620
talking to around the country is saying what you're saying, Glenn, is why aren't Republicans
00:17:56.140
standing up? Why aren't they getting Trump's back when he's trying to push back against, um, this
00:18:02.020
leftist agenda, as you said, is it very clearly trackable back to, uh, the big money and the
00:18:08.840
socialists in our country who really want to create chaos. So it will drive people into the arms of
00:18:14.720
government. Jim, any doubt in your mind, uh, the, the things that we talked about back in 2008,
00:18:23.500
nine, the fundamental transformation, the Marxist revolutionary impact that all of this
00:18:30.920
is happening right now. There's no question. And that's why there's an urgency in my mind and
00:18:38.800
hard to talk about saving America. I've, I've been warning about it. You've been warning about it for
00:18:44.520
over 10 years. And now if you want to see what socialism looks like, just look, look what's
00:18:50.360
happening, uh, under the guise of this Corona virus, where the government is telling us what businesses
00:18:56.560
can be open. Uh, if we can go to church, who can we, who we can meet with, whether you can go to
00:19:02.580
school and Americans have taken this largely, I think out of, of just being citizens, they've kind
00:19:10.620
of intimidated us into being responsible. But I think more and more people are starting to see
00:19:16.380
through it, that this is just being used as a political ploy and largely to try to take down
00:19:22.200
the Trump and take down our way of life. So it's just time for us to stand up. I think we're going
00:19:28.580
to see more Republicans who stand up. I know some of them are in Washington, but the cameras don't
00:19:33.900
find them Glenn. When a Mike Lee or somebody or Jim Jordan pushes back, they're generally, uh,
00:19:40.520
hidden in the media. So we've just got to figure out ways to make more noise. And you're one of the
00:19:45.820
few people who actually does the research to track it back, to show Americans that there's no mystery
00:19:51.280
here. This is not spontaneous rioting. This is something that's been planned and coordinated,
00:19:57.120
and they just wait for some kind of trigger to come after us. And as I point out in Saving America
00:20:04.180
from Socialism is all these crises are used by the tyrants, by the socialists, by the big government
00:20:11.220
people to try to drive Americans into the arms of a bigger and bigger government. I mean, it's amazing.
00:20:19.000
Can you imagine, Jim, if the Tea Party would have had a quarter of the support, uh, that, uh, Black Lives Matter
00:20:29.360
and these radical Antifa even has a quarter of that support, what could have happened? We had the media,
00:20:37.540
the government, everybody, even the GOP against us, tearing us apart. And we still made an impact.
00:20:44.880
And I can't even, the impact on what is happening with just our statues, uh, with, with the way everyone
00:20:54.080
is reacting right now is going to last possibly forever. It is going to change the nation.
00:21:02.280
Well, Glenn, as you know, that it's just part of the history of, of Marxists, of socialists, of tyrants
00:21:09.860
to, to, to destroy history. And, and our schools certainly haven't taught it. Now people growing up
00:21:17.060
thinking America is evil and racist. Uh, and Glenn, I can tell you, I've lived a long time, but there is
00:21:23.800
no intentional systematic racism left in America, except in the Democrat party that they use as a
00:21:30.360
strategy to get themselves elected. But if, and if we want to solve our problems, we, we, we've got
00:21:36.720
to stop blaming it on things that aren't the real cause of our problems. So that's what I'm trying
00:21:43.680
to do now with this book and other ways and speaking. I know that's what you're doing is if
00:21:48.440
people don't understand how America works and why it's so wonderful. And if they don't understand the
00:21:53.860
threats that are all around us, then, then they're not going to stand up and fight. They're just going
00:21:59.460
to go like sheep to the slaughter. Like we see some of our Republicans doing in Washington now, but
00:22:05.360
I'm just trying to issue another wake up call. You issue a wake up call every day. But hopefully
00:22:12.140
our voices will combine with a lot of others and we'll get Americans to stand up as they always have
00:22:19.040
to fight for their freedoms and their way of life.
00:22:23.200
So if they haven't stood up yet, what is it going to take? It frightens me. What is it going to take
00:22:28.880
to get people to stand up? Um, but what is the solution? What do you, how do you stand up,
00:22:34.940
Jim? What do, what, what is the target? Cause it's everywhere. It's everywhere.
00:22:40.200
It is. And it's one of the things I write about when, if you think it's going to take a majority
00:22:45.960
to change things and we're never going to act, it's every individual can make a difference. We,
00:22:52.220
we all have to go out, whether it's at work or school or whatever, and began to speak up.
00:22:58.120
A lot of us are intimidated. I mean, I see it all around me. People, people want to say,
00:23:04.560
this is crazy. I mean, they're looking at things that are absurd and they're afraid to say it's
00:23:09.540
absurd because they're going to get pounded, uh, either directly or through social media, but
00:23:15.260
people have to have courage. We generally get the government we deserve.
00:23:19.620
And so we've got to stir up people and they've got to realize that we've got to stop looking to
00:23:24.880
Washington. There's so many solutions, education, choice, other things that are happening at the
00:23:29.860
state level that we have to just keep pushing. Uh, there's more chance of doing something good
00:23:35.960
at the state level right now than in Washington. But so, um, but we can't give up. That's the whole
00:23:42.620
last part of the book is the plan. We've got to understand that we are a Republic. We're not a
00:23:48.060
national democracy. Uh, we've got to keep power as much as we can at the state level. We've got to
00:23:54.800
get States to push back against the federal government. We're seeing a little, little of
00:23:59.020
that with the COVID thing. And, but now we get a clear choice. Florida handles it one way and New
00:24:05.620
York another, and you can see which philosophies work, but, uh, let's don't give up Glenn. I think
00:24:12.080
America needs cheerleaders as well as philosophers, but, uh, I believe that we're going to come out
00:24:18.160
better, even though I know we're sitting on a tipping point here as well as a powder keg. Uh,
00:24:25.200
but, um, you know, Trump in, in his own, uh, way has, has been very good for America, just kind of
00:24:31.800
kicking down the doors in Washington, going after the swamp, you know, calling things for what they
00:24:37.440
really are. And they're trying to take him down. And, uh, so this election is, is even more important
00:24:44.240
than the last one. And, uh, we've just got to sound the alarm, um, that now's the time for America to
00:24:50.440
stand up. What should Trump and the Senate be doing right now in the house? Well, I mean,
00:24:56.620
we are a, we are a nation or a people that believes in fairness. We believe in justice,
00:25:05.380
but we also believe in law and order. And, uh, when you have so many mayors and so many governors
00:25:13.180
just hanging their own people, uh, what should he do? Because they'll paint him as a monster if he
00:25:22.400
goes in and, and does anything, but he's not going to win if he doesn't seem like he is standing up to
00:25:29.520
this and he is, is, is weak. Yeah. He's been a little off of his game just because he deferred
00:25:37.140
to doctors on this Corona virus, even though I think he's got the right instincts. And he started
00:25:42.640
pushing back, um, this week, he said, we've got to get back to school. Um, and his, some of his
00:25:48.680
doctors had said no, uh, but he, he, he does get pounded every time he does anything, even his speech
00:25:56.400
at Mount Rushmore, which was really a great speech was just completely vilified in the media.
00:26:02.560
So it's, it's, you know, it's hard for me to say what he can do, but he does have a platform that a
00:26:09.380
lot of the rest of us don't have. And I know he's got some people around him that are really good,
00:26:14.240
like Mark Meadows now and some others. And that's what we're trying to do is just come around these
00:26:20.260
folks and just get Trump to speak out to tell the truth because people are whispering now,
00:26:26.840
but they long for somebody to get up and tell the truth. They do. They do. Uh, the name of the book
00:26:33.540
is Saving America from Socialism, uh, Saving America from Socialism. Jim DeMint, a, he's been a very
00:26:40.400
strong voice for a very long time. Jim, just a personal question. Have you had a hard time
00:26:48.540
with the realization that you were right? You with me, Jim? Yeah. Yeah. With the realization
00:27:02.800
of what? That's the last part of that. That you were, yeah, that you were right. I've had a hard
00:27:09.220
time. I didn't want to be right. And it's, it's when it's happening now, I'm, I'm looking at it and I'm
00:27:16.680
like, no, no, no, I, I don't, I don't know. I, I gotta be wrong still. I mean, no, it can't be
00:27:23.800
happening. Are you having a hard time looking at things and going, geez, I am Glenn, because
00:27:31.480
it's so, um, illogical. It's so absurd. I mean, it's, it's, if people only just knew a little bit,
00:27:39.080
they, they would not sit still for a minute for some of the things that happened. I mean,
00:27:45.340
I can't believe people elect, uh, like governor Como in New York. I mean, people in New York are
00:27:50.100
not stupid, but they keep electing people that are, that are destroying their cities all around
00:27:56.660
the country. So yeah, no, I'm upset. It's hard for me to, to accept things that are completely
00:28:02.480
illogical. That's why it was hard for me to serve in the house and the Senate. Um, but we just have to,
00:28:10.540
um, we have to tell the truth. People are just desperate. Um, I mean, actually I'm working on a
00:28:17.160
book right now that just says they're lying to you, whether it's climate change or America's racist
00:28:21.780
or whatever. I just want to put it all out there and just go out and defend what is the real truth.
00:28:28.340
And, uh, who knows how many people will listen. Uh, but I got to tell you, you were one of the first
00:28:33.420
when the talk board way back in your Fox days, when, when you were telling us things that were
00:28:39.120
happening in the financing and follow the money that no one seems to want to listen to because
00:28:45.940
it's, it's, it's so crazy. It couldn't be true, but unfortunately it is, but we can't give up.
00:28:52.680
America has always done things that were impossible, like beat the British. And that's the spirit we're
00:28:59.580
calling on right now is we've got Trump. He'll stand up and fight anybody, but he needs a few people
00:29:05.800
to walk out there with him. Yeah, I agree. Thank you so much, Jim. I appreciate it. Jim
00:29:11.660
DeMint, uh, the name of the book is Saving America from Socialism. It came out yesterday. Uh, always
00:29:17.700
a pleasure to have you on. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:29:26.120
I want to tell you about, uh, two other people that I met just recently and I've never ever done
00:29:45.060
this before, but I was, uh, uh, onboarding new clients. Um, and, uh, it's, uh, it's temp and toss
00:29:55.920
and it's a, it's a thing that you put on your, your kid's forehead. Um, and, uh, you can take your,
00:30:04.120
your infant child's temperature, uh, really, really easy. And it's, it's, it's a good, it's a really good
00:30:10.380
product. And so I was talking to him, but I just fell in love with the two women who are just these,
00:30:15.660
just these two moms that are entrepreneurs, uh, from Ohio, uh, that saw an opportunity to do
00:30:24.300
something because they were moms with, you know, kids and they knew about taking temperatures and
00:30:29.680
what a pain in the neck it is. Uh, and they, uh, started this company and now with COVID they have
00:30:38.020
just exploded and they're doing something really, really good, um, for the rest of the nation. And
00:30:44.340
I just, I really liked them. So I asked them to join me. Are they on Skype? Do we have them? It's,
00:30:50.600
uh, April Pollack and, uh, Shelly Heller. How are you guys? Good. How are you? Good. I love the fact
00:30:59.860
that you're just in your car and the two of you. Um, so tell me about how, uh, what you guys are
00:31:07.880
doing and why you got involved in this. Um, well, we started, uh, in 2015, we had a, an idea for a
00:31:20.320
paper forehead thermometer that came about honestly, because a local manufacturer here in Dayton
00:31:25.620
had millions of thermometer strips. They were trying to, um, get rid of, they previously sold
00:31:31.660
them to hospitals and we could just kind of look at each other and say, well, why don't you retail them
00:31:36.180
for moms? That would be perfect to throw in a diaper bag. And they said, that's a great idea.
00:31:40.620
You do it. We don't want to. And, um, and here we are. So that's how it started. Yeah. It just
00:31:47.240
started, um, from a women owned business event. And it just, we just went with it. You know how
00:31:56.680
sometimes you get ideas and you think, Oh, I don't want to really want to do that. Or I don't know
00:32:01.380
what we just did it. So, and now we're here and we've grown 1300% since March.
00:32:11.940
That is, I don't know how you have done that. Um, but, uh, you, you now have hospitals that are
00:32:20.760
clamoring for these because they don't, you can't trust some of the things coming out of China. You
00:32:26.420
guys were telling me that there was a problem with one hospital. You don't have to get into
00:32:30.500
the details, but a problem with a hospital that, uh, got a bunch of thermometers from China and they
00:32:39.500
Yeah, we, um, our, our thermometer would be, should be used for people that are entering
00:32:46.000
the hospital are, um, so they were doing some testing for letting people into the emergency room
00:32:53.640
and into the hospital and things like that. And they kept going through a million batteries or
00:32:58.760
it would read three different times, three different ways, um, on the same person. And,
00:33:04.520
you know, it, it, it got to be more of a hassle than not. So they called us and, you know, we're in,
00:33:11.800
we're in line to hopefully be, um, hired by them to provide our thermometers to them. Cause it's so easy.
00:33:20.120
You just put them on your forehead and they'll read continuously for 48 hours.
00:33:25.560
So I have to tell you, I, when, when you guys first, uh, uh, when you guys first talked to me
00:33:32.920
about, um, coming on the show, uh, I went to my wife and my daughter who has two young children
00:33:39.520
and they knew of your product and they were like, are you kidding me? It is the easiest. It is the
00:33:45.320
best. And being a dad, I didn't, I couldn't relate to it, but boy, they just love your product. Uh,
00:33:52.760
and what you're talking about now is, um, not just something for your child's, uh, forehead,
00:33:59.960
but for businesses, we're getting ready to open up our business in Texas and, and have everybody come
00:34:06.000
back in. Um, and how do you check everybody's temperature? And like you said, some of these
00:34:12.760
forehead, uh, thermometers will give you three different readings and you'll just, you'll hit
00:34:18.940
it. And then you hit it again, you hit it again. And it's three different readings. You guys did a
00:34:23.580
study and showed that yours is the most consistent out of all of the readings. Um, and, and you can
00:34:31.580
come in and instead of having somebody do it, you just peel one of these off and stick it on your
00:34:36.280
forehead and it will stay there. We, um, we actually have, we had to pivot because, um, a lot of
00:34:44.840
manufacturers were wanting more bulk quantities. And so we have, um, we made a roll of 3000 and a
00:34:54.460
roll of 5,000 and a dispenser that you could just sit in the, at the front of your entrance of your
00:34:59.920
building, peel them off and put them on your head, check people's temperature. I mean,
00:35:04.100
we do it here at, um, our day jobs. I mean, April has a day job and I have a day job and this was
00:35:12.080
just kind of going to be a side hustle, but then kind of turned out something else. But now we've,
00:35:16.480
um, been able to then sell these in bulk to major corporations, to automotive, to, um, the service
00:35:22.960
industry and things of that nature has been pretty successful so far and consistency. Yes, absolutely.
00:35:28.860
Our test that we did was, oh shoot. Um, we did eight to 10 different kinds of thermometers and,
00:35:38.100
um, ours came up the most consistent. So we're supposed to get that data today actually to see
00:35:42.800
how we did pan out. And, um, you have some major corporations that have now become, uh, clients that
00:35:52.560
they are doing these tests. Can you talk about those? Absolutely. So, um, in the, in the, when the
00:36:00.480
pandemic first started in March, we had large corporations such as GM, Ford, Huntington Bank,
00:36:07.940
um, Home Depot, CentOS, um, Granger, Granger, we're in the Granger catalog. We sold to, uh, CDC border
00:36:16.020
control and the FDA. So all of those customers wanted the bulk offering. So we had to pivot in
00:36:23.900
March and offer, um, um, a Mylar based thermometer to help meet that Mylar demand, which is what, um,
00:36:31.660
helped us come up with our forehead thermometer, uh, dispenser role of the 3,000 and 5,000. Now that
00:36:38.000
we have that, we're pulling back on the Mylar a bit. Uh, the Mylar does not have adhesive. Um,
00:36:43.800
so we have sold, I mean, we sold millions and, in March and April, it just exploded.
00:36:50.440
Well, I am just so happy that it is, it's two moms, two, uh, business women, uh, in Ohio that are
00:36:59.020
changing the way we're taking our temperature and, and helping so many big corporations and
00:37:04.000
small companies like mine, uh, stay healthy. Thank you guys so much.
00:37:17.420
Oh, yes. We, we, we have people with disabilities who do the assembly for all of our, for all of
00:37:23.560
our products. And then also we are going to be giving a percentage of our Glenn Beck sales
00:37:29.940
to a company or to a facility called Bridget's path, which takes independent, addicted babies
00:37:37.440
and tries to keep them with their families. So we're, we're real behind that. And, um, hoping
00:37:48.060
Thank you guys. Uh, it's temp and toss. This has not been a commercial. It's temp and toss.com.
00:37:53.260
You can find out more about it and we'll talk again. Um, thank you. Thank you ladies for being on.
