Glenn Beck talks about the eclipse and how it affected his eyesight. Then, he talks about how the eclipse affected his dog, Uno, and how he's trying to figure out how to get him to eat again.
00:12:29.300I'm sure there are doctors out there, especially the new MDs that are just coming out of, you know, out of school where they're like, yeah, we could, I mean, you're 50, you're depressed.
00:13:16.700Uh, the healthcare communication network, which I believe is run by the same people who gave us the psychic friends network, uh, said that, uh, such changes and weird feelings.
00:14:14.100Uh, the erectile dysfunction hut, uh, told MX links or MD links that, uh, while she has not seen a link between the eclipse and the changes in physiology and disease, she notes that when an event occurs, it's outside the norm.
00:14:31.200Uh, and it feels difficult to explain it can cause the solar eclipse is not difficult to explain.
00:14:41.280Uh, uh, she said it can have, uh, physical and psychological effects on people.
00:14:47.160Okay, I just want to sum up yesterday.
00:15:18.500I mean, if you have dots in your eyes today because you were staring at the sun without glasses yesterday, I understand that particular health effect.
00:17:06.260I love companies who, um, uh, uh, who provide the highest level of service, but also are on the same page as you and I are, you know, fighting for, you know, the kind of this is like, Hey, you should get out and vote.
00:17:18.460And I don't care what you think about, uh, you know, I don't care what you think about Donald Trump.
00:17:22.840Uh, this probably will be the last election.
00:17:25.700Uh, if Joe Biden wins, you know, I mean, we're going to have elections, but you know, it's kind of like Brazil.
00:17:37.320Anyway, uh, one of my favorite companies that I do business with is Patriot Mobile.
00:17:41.860Their goal is not just to give you cheaper, better experience with a, uh, cell phone company, which they do, but also stand with you in defense of our American liberties and values.
00:17:52.260They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, and they offer dependable nationwide coverage.
00:17:58.420So you can access any of the three major networks that everybody's on, but you don't pay all those extra fees and everything else that they then turn around and give to fund leftist causes.
00:18:10.780Their 100% us-based customer service team is going to help make switching easy for you.
00:18:16.020Whether you keep your number, your phone, you upgrade one or both.
00:18:33.260I don't know if America is actually prepared for the stupidity that I'm about to show you, but here is a sunny what's-her-face on The View.
00:18:56.020Those things together would maybe lead one to believe that, you know, either climate change exists or something is returning.
00:19:05.980Earthquakes are not at the mercy of climate change.
00:29:08.980And I think we should continue to fight for that.
00:29:11.720But, you know, honestly, I would like to say, while I personally stand up for life, I don't think that this is a real issue here for people who believe in life.
00:29:34.580If maybe it's just me, that our president won't say at an election time, the guy who was responsible for Roe versus Wade being reversed.
00:54:06.700Perhaps the most shocking data point that nukes the Biden administration's entire job growth narrative is the drop in since October 2019 native-born U.S. workers.
00:54:21.200They have actually lost 1.4 million jobs.
00:54:26.640Over the same period, foreign-born workers have gained 3 million jobs.
00:54:33.360In fact, there has not been a month of net job creation for native-born workers since July 2018.
00:58:58.040Everything is matched dollar for dollar because this is actually $2.5 million, but we're only having to do half of it because somebody has stepped to the plate and said, I'll do the first half.
00:59:18.040So here's what Jamie Dimon said in his letters to, you know, his shareholders.
00:59:33.820Across the globe, 2023 was yet another year of significant challenges from the terrible ongoing war and violence in the Middle East and Ukraine to mounting terrorist activity and growing geopolitical tensions, important, importantly, with China.
00:59:49.380Almost all nations felt the effect last year of global economic uncertainty, including higher energy and food prices.
00:59:55.360While these events and associated instability have serious ramifications on our company, colleague, clients, and countries where we do business,
01:00:11.540their consequence on the world at large, with the extreme suffering of the Ukrainian people, escalating tragedy in the Middle East, and the potential restructuring of the global order.
01:00:22.560As these events unfold, America's global leadership role is being challenged outside by other nations and inside by our polarized electorate.
01:00:37.560During this time of great crisis, uniting to protect our essential freedoms, including free enterprise, is paramount.
01:00:47.000We should remember that America, quote, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, end quote, still remains the shining beacon of hope to citizens all around the world.
01:01:00.580He goes on to talk about how, with all of the wars breaking out, all of the things with price increases, and all the adversaries that we now have, he says,
01:01:16.920it is important to note that the economy is being fueled by large amounts of government deficit spending and past stimulus.
01:01:24.900So, what did I just tell you about unemployment?
01:01:35.460Anywhere from 21% to 58% is coming from jobs created by the government.
01:01:52.260We're also going to have to spend more for the green economy, restructuring global supply chains, boosting military expenditure, and battling rising health care costs.
01:02:02.780This may lead to stickier inflation and higher rates than markets expect.
01:02:08.560Furthermore, there are downside risks to watch.
01:02:13.560He talks about the huge amounts of federal spending that we are doing, the trillions that are going to be needed.
01:02:23.120I mean, we're talking over $100 trillion for the green economy, the remilitarization of our nation and the world, the restructuring of trade.
01:02:34.200He said every single one of those is inflationary.
01:02:36.560He said, I'm not sure the models could pick this up, and you must use judgment if you want to evaluate impacts like these.
01:02:47.800Also, a block of time as short as one year is an artificial framework for judging the impact of long-term trends that could easily play out over the years.
01:04:58.340All we do is we introduce you to people that we have done a lot of homework on.
01:05:06.900I mean, it's almost, we're a rectal exam shy of just being completely inappropriate.
01:05:12.680We really put these people through the ringer to find out if they are the ones, the real estate agents, that are the best in your area, in our opinion, to sell your house.
01:05:24.580They have the best business practices, and you can trust them to get the job done right.
01:05:29.780Just tell us where you're buying or selling.
01:07:30.040Wednesday at 8 p.m., we're going to do a live pre-show event.
01:07:34.940I'm going to be hosting it, along with James Polis, who is hosting this new documentary that Blaze is coming out called Bought and Paid For,
01:09:04.380Alexander de Morales, a Brazilian Supreme Court justice, was crucial to Brazil's transfer of power, but his aggressive tactics are prompting debate.
01:09:16.220Can one go too far to fight the far right?
01:09:29.280When Brazil's highway police began holding up buses full of voters on election day, he ordered them to stop.
01:09:37.180When right-wing voices spread the baseless claim that Brazil's election was stolen, he ordered them banned from social media.
01:09:44.980When thousands of right-wing protesters stormed Brazil's halls of power this month, he ordered the officials who had been responsible for securing the buildings arrested.
01:09:54.820Alexander de Morales, a Brazilian Supreme Court justice, has taken up the mantle of Brazil's lead defender of democracy.
01:10:03.680Using a broad interpretation of the court's powers, he has pushed to investigate, prosecute, and as well, silence those on social media.
01:10:13.540Anyone he deems a menace to Brazil's institutions.
01:10:17.280As a result, in the face of anti-democratic attacks from Brazil's former far-right president, Bolasinaro, and his supporters, Mr. de Morales, cleared the way for the transfer of power.
01:10:33.140Many on Brazil's left that made him the man who saved Brazil's young democracy, yet many others in Brazil say he's threatening it.
01:10:49.000These are some of the things, according to the New York Times, he has done.
01:10:51.760He has jailed people without trial for posting threats on social media.
01:10:57.520He helped sentence a sitting congressman to nearly nine years in prison for threatening the court.
01:11:04.980He has ordered raids on businessmen with little evidence of wrongdoing.
01:11:09.660He has suspended an elected governor from his job.
01:11:13.900He has unilaterally blocked dozens of accounts and thousands of posts on social media with virtually no transparency and no room for appeal.
01:11:23.440In the hunt for justice after the riot, he became further emboldened.
01:11:27.780His orders to ban prominent voices online have proliferated.
01:11:31.960And now he has the man accused of fanning Brazil's extremist flames, Mr. Bolasinaro, in his crosshairs.
01:11:41.780Last week, now remember this is an old New York Times from about two years ago,
01:11:47.080de Morales included Bolsonaro in a federal investigation of the riot, which he is overseeing, suggesting the former president inspired the violence.
01:11:58.160His moves fit into a broader trend of Brazil's Supreme Court, increasing its power and taking what critics have called a more repressive turn in the process.
01:12:07.780So he is taking extra constitutional powers.
01:12:13.220Over the weekend, he said, if you don't give me your data, Facebook, Google, and X, on all of the people that are posting, if you don't give that to me, you're banned from being in Brazil.
01:13:23.580He was down looking at censorship in Brazil.
01:13:26.220And he said, I found the United States all over it.
01:13:32.020He said, the United States Department funded NGOs and not just State Department funded NGOs, but National Endowment for Democracy is also down there.
01:13:41.560He said, you had USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy, funding a bunch of domestic censorship groups in Brazil.
01:13:48.940And he said, it goes back to the beginning of Bolsonaro's reign as president down there in 2019.
01:13:57.780So the same thing that was happening here with Donald Trump, the United States, through NGOs, took your tax dollars and started fighting against bolas and arrow.
01:14:11.780In June 2019, the Atlantic Council convened a meeting about what to do about the rise of disinformation in Brazil that was pro bolas and arrow in nature.
01:14:24.860The Atlantic Council panel called Election Watch in June 2019 bemoaned the fact that in Brazil, people were paying more attention to their own friends, family and clergy than they were institutions.
01:14:38.620Global institutions such as the Atlantic Council, which is a CIA pass through.
01:14:43.400It has seven CIA directors on its board.
01:14:46.540It's annually funded every year by the Pentagon for the State Department and the National Endowment for Democracy, which is also a CIA cutout.
01:14:54.860In addition to that, a bunch of these university centers in Brazil and civil society groups get National Endowment for Democracy funding.
01:15:02.480So this is the CIA and the State Department and USAID directly funding in June 2019 the censorship apparatus in Brazil against bolas and arrow.
01:15:13.840In 2019, social media was already censored in Brazil.
01:15:18.160Facebook, Twitter and YouTube were hit hard by the censors the same way it did in the United States.
01:15:23.960So the bolas and arrow supporters switched to WhatsApp and to Telegram to spread their messaging because they were basically kicked off of Facebook.
01:15:34.060This is why one of the biggest audiences for Gab, one of the first free speech alternative platform attempts, was the Brazilian population in 18 and 2019 because they were hit with that first leg of the censorship board.
01:15:47.420So what the Atlantic Council and a bunch of these other National Endowment for Democracy funded CIA proxies did is they then targeted WhatsApp and Telegram and then promoted these activities, these proxies within Brazil to put pressure on the Brazilian government to take out WhatsApp and Telegram.
01:16:06.460So WhatsApp and Telegram then censored populist supporters, right-wing populist nationalists, bolas and arrow supporters.
01:27:26.000In cases like this, they also give life-saving care.
01:27:30.460They offer assistance to the mom and to the husband as well for up to two years after the baby is born so they don't feel trapped and overwhelmed and their back is against the wall.
01:27:42.460Last year, they saved 58,000 babies because of people just like you, if you have the means.
01:27:47.540Would you consider a leadership gift to help babies in a big way?
01:27:51.940Your tax-deductible donation of $5,000 will sponsor pre-born's entire network nationwide for 24 hours.
01:28:33.320So, I have been saying for a while now, as I'm looking at what the Western world, the elites, are doing to their own countries and our own civilization,
01:29:16.900Glenn, you've been on this for such a long time because you're so clear-eyed about this.
01:29:21.400There has been a massive plunder of the middle class by the elites.
01:29:27.520First, they shipped good manufacturing jobs overseas to build up China and Mexico's middle class.
01:29:33.720Then they said they're not coming back, right?
01:29:36.420We're never going to get those jobs back.
01:29:37.860If you want the American dream, you have to go to college where you'll become, you know, a card-carrying Democrat, right?
01:29:44.140And now they opened the border and brought in 15 million illegal migrants from failed socialist states to undercut the wages in the jobs that remained here.
01:29:55.460And it's because fundamentally to the elites, there's no difference between being working class and being poor.
01:30:01.580They want everybody to be poor because they control the college educated and the poor.
01:30:06.860That is why they're trying to get everybody out of the middle class and either into the college credentialed, you know, leftist elites or to make them poor because that's how the Democrats win.
01:30:19.420So, wow, I've never heard that opinion before, I think, where they are intentionally doing it because they can control the poor.
01:30:27.800Yeah, absolutely. I mean, otherwise, it makes no sense, right?
01:30:32.840I mean, where does the contempt for the working class come from?
01:31:36.640And I think that's why you see only six percent of the private sector is unionized.
01:31:42.300Working class Americans, they may want the wages and the protections that unions can get their members, but they see the unions actively supporting the party and the policy of importing their competition.
01:31:55.940And so they don't see a future for themselves in the labor unions.
01:32:00.260And, you know, Joe Biden likes to say he's the most pro-union president to ever rule.
01:32:05.660Maybe that's true, but the unions themselves are no longer able to represent their actual members.
01:32:12.020Although I have to say, I thought it was great that Trump went and met with the Teamsters and that he, you know, he got a donation for the RNC from the Teamsters because it shows that the Teamsters are listening to rank and file, who, of course, prefer Trump.
01:32:23.880And so you say that the the working class in America is super diverse, but united on the policies that they think would make their lives better.
01:32:34.920And you say that is true, whether you're a Republican or Democrat.
01:32:44.520So for this for my book, Second Class, How the Elites Betrayed America's Working Men and Women, I traveled around the country for a year interviewing working class Americans of all races, of all backgrounds and religions and many, many, many different industries totally across the country.
01:33:00.340And what I found was so much more unites them than divides them.
01:33:04.600First of all, polarization, a totally elite phenomenon.
01:33:09.160And I know your listeners know this because I know you have a strong working class listenership.
01:33:13.780They know that they would never hate their neighbor just because they happen to vote for another party.
01:33:21.220You know, there's a lot of contempt for the elites in the political class who love to go to Washington and fight with each other, pretend they're fighting with each other while both parties, you know, have turned their backs on labor.
01:33:31.780Here's what I found was the most common views.
01:33:34.880So I met a lot of people, including a lot of Christians who had a gay person in their life who they wanted to be treated with respect.
01:33:42.240But they were extremely worried about the transgender agenda.
01:33:47.500I met a lot of people who were really unhappy about how much welfare there is and knew people who were scamming the system.
01:33:54.000And they were very frustrated by that.
01:33:55.840But they also really didn't like that corporations seemed to them to be, you know, against their interests and that there was so much support for corporations and not for them.
01:34:09.840Most of the people I interviewed, including the Democrats, wanted something like a total moratorium on immigration.
01:34:16.400But they also felt like there should be some sort of government backed catastrophic health care.
01:34:23.060They couldn't stand the idea that they work with their hands and their bodies and physical labor and they can't afford good health care.
01:34:29.560So you see how their views are sort of they united the working class, but neither party really aligns with those set of views.
01:34:37.800So how come because you would say I mean, I don't want to make this into a partisan thing, but let me but I think I have to when you're looking at Donald Trump.
01:34:50.720That is that describes him respect for gay people.
01:34:55.080You know, he is he is he's the first president to ever have gay people openly speak at the convention.
01:35:24.700How how is it that you don't see Democrats looking at some of these big, big items and say, OK, well, clearly this side is totally against everything I really believe in.
01:35:45.240We're definitely seeing that Trump is now polling at 35 percent of black men.
01:35:50.020He's going to get much more than that.
01:35:52.160So in 2020, he got he was polling at eight percent of black men and he got 18 percent.
01:35:57.560He's now polling at 35 percent of black men.
01:36:00.400He's got the majority of Hispanics polling for him.
01:36:03.320We're seeing a mass defection of working class people of color away from the Democrats who are actively undermining them in their future towards Donald Trump.
01:36:54.880So I think you're completely right about that.
01:36:57.180Well, not all rich people support Joe Biden.
01:37:02.680So the the elites, at what point do you think we break through the ice on people realizing that it's not Donald Trump and Joe Biden, that it is truly the elites against, you know, people who just say, hey, can can can you pay attention to us in America?
01:37:26.160First, can you just can can you not continue to just put me under water?
01:37:31.760When when when are we going to break through that and stop playing the left right game game and realize it's these people who think they're better than us that are just trying to put their foot on our neck all the time?
01:37:46.900I think that this election is going to come down to the working class, and I think it's going to become totally unignorable after that.
01:37:55.900The question is, what happens after that?
01:37:57.780These working class people are not voting for the Republicans.
01:38:02.080And if the GOP wants to keep these voters, they have to stop pushing tax cuts over everything else.
01:38:09.640And they have to start listening to the working class.
01:38:12.440I interviewed 100 people and 25 of them are quoted at great length in my book, Second Class.
01:38:18.260You want to hear how working class people who agree with you about woke and agree with you about conservative values, but very much need an economic agenda.
01:38:28.460They need the GOP to stop pimping them out on the altar of the woke ideas that they agree with, but that, you know, tickle the pickle of the of the conservative elites.
01:38:38.260Right. And start creating an economic agenda for the working class.
01:38:42.920The first party that gets to that combination of health care plus controlling immigration is going to have a ruling majority.
01:38:50.780Bhatia, thank you so much for being on.
01:38:57.040The name of the book, again, is really all about everything that we're doing right now.
