00:00:14.900 The 109-inch platform will cut a football field in 10 minutes.

00:00:21.560 I think the 32-inch platform is what they're offering for homes.

00:00:25.420 I think it's 32. Fits through, you know, gates and everything else that you might have around your backyard.

00:00:31.520 And if you have a couple of acres, man, you will be done.

00:00:39.140 It's a Hustler Turf. They last forever. They're great.

00:00:41.920 They've been building a zero-turn lawnmower for over 55 years.

00:00:46.040 These are the people that invented it and perfected it.

00:00:48.900 Now they're available to you at HustlerTurf.com.

00:00:52.020 Go to HustlerTurf.com and find a dealership near you.

00:00:56.320 I don't ever want you to take my word for it.

00:01:52.700 Hello, America.

00:01:54.300 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:56.420 It's Friday.

00:01:58.280 We've got a great show.

00:01:59.520 Ted Cruz is coming up.

00:02:00.800 Bill O'Reilly is on today's program.

00:02:02.720 A couple of other special treats.

00:02:04.740 Plus, we're going to go over some of the craziest news of the week.

00:02:10.380 It's, I mean, I thought we were already living in an insane world.

00:02:15.240 Oh, no, yeah.

00:02:16.540 Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:02:18.380 We go there in 60 seconds.

00:02:23.840 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:26.560 Cindy lives in Alabama.

00:02:28.460 She wrote to me about her dog's experience with Rough Greens.

00:02:31.400 And by the way, thank you for telling me what's happening with your dog and Rough Greens.

00:02:35.300 She says, my Roxy is a 14-year-old mini schnauzer with kidney disease. 0.99

00:02:40.420 For the last few years, I had to get on the floor with her and her food and pretend that I was eating her food.

00:02:46.020 After about 30 minutes, she'd start eating.

00:02:48.660 I heard you talk about Rough Greens and decided my dog is probably worse than Uno.

00:02:54.940 I gave her the recommended amount the first day.

00:02:57.800 And wow, what a difference.

00:02:59.500 She's actually eating now.

00:03:01.340 Thank you, Rough Greens.

00:03:02.360 I don't know what it is in the dog food.

00:03:04.980 It's because it's full of healthy stuff.

00:03:06.380 And, you know, for humans, that's never good.

00:03:07.940 But, I mean, it's good for you.

00:03:09.620 But do you enjoy the healthy stuff? 1.00

00:03:11.940 Shut up if you do. 0.99

00:03:12.900 You're just wrong. 1.00

00:03:13.900 Anyway, get right down.

00:03:15.940 Facebook needs to start banning people who like healthy food.

00:03:19.380 Anyway, get a free bag of Rough Greens just for your dog to try out.

00:03:23.660 All you pay is the shipping.

00:03:25.640 You can try it out because maybe your dog doesn't like it.

00:03:28.080 But if they do like it, you order a real bag, and I'm telling you, in a couple of months,

00:03:32.900 you're going to start seeing real changes in your dog.

00:03:35.520 At least it's happened with mine and Stu's and Pat's.

00:03:37.760 It's roughgreens.com slash Beck.

00:03:40.320 Rough Greens.

00:03:40.860 R-U-F-F-Greens.com slash Beck.

00:03:43.240 833-GLEN-33.

00:03:44.820 That's 833-GLEN-33.

00:03:46.580 Roughgreens.com slash Beck.

00:03:48.540 Well, President Biden has just proposed a new budget, which a round of applause.

00:04:03.660 That's the first time we've had a budget proposal in, well, I think it's kind of an old-fashioned

00:04:09.460 thing we used to do before Obama, but I'm glad to see it.

00:04:14.320 Now, when you're thinking, hey, maybe the government is spending too much, you're thinking wrong.

00:04:20.000 You're thinking wrong.

00:04:20.920 That's wrong think.

00:04:22.800 President Biden is proposing a $6 trillion budget.

00:04:28.040 That is, that's about double what we are spending now, even though we'll have like a trillion dollar

00:04:35.760 deficit on that budget that goes right to the debt.

00:04:40.220 Uh, he's saying, let's double it.

00:04:43.380 Let's double it. 0.94

00:04:44.440 And he said, I, I don't want to make anybody uncomfortable and I don't want to say their

00:04:49.700 names, but I do have a list of all those who are against and held up the list of all the

00:04:55.880 people in, uh, in Congress that voted against this.

00:05:00.180 Another scare tactic, another veiled threat.

00:05:03.920 What is that?

00:05:04.700 I mean, start, just start building the gulags.

00:05:06.640 I talked to somebody the other day, they're like, just go, just start, just, I'm tired

00:05:12.560 of this windup.

00:05:13.940 Just, you revealed who you were, that you're really actually Marxist.

00:05:19.040 Now just go.

00:05:21.400 And I'm like, let's slow down on that one.

00:05:24.480 I don't think that's a good idea.

00:05:26.360 Uh, but anyway, uh, $6 trillion budget.

00:05:30.040 This is the highest sustained level of federal spending since world war two, but we've got

00:05:36.800 to fight climate change and they're almost as bad as Nazis. 0.60

00:05:40.240 Almost, almost now.

00:05:42.300 Um, some other things just to help the economy out.

00:05:44.720 Uh, Joe Biden, the administration is now moving to double tariffs on Canadian lumber. 0.99

00:05:51.100 Oh, oh, so the plywood that has already gone from 13 to $70 a sheet, plywood, crappy ass 0.93

00:06:02.440 plywood is now $70 a sheet. 0.57

00:06:06.640 And he wants to double the tariffs on, uh, on lumber coming from Canada, which I think

00:06:10.780 that's, you know, I just, God bless him.

00:06:13.660 I think that's just great.

00:06:17.980 Uh, he is, uh, today, today, he's going to be talking about doubling the price of lumber

00:06:27.800 from Canada.

00:06:28.700 Oh, and another story I think you're going to love.

00:06:31.500 Uh, this is from the New York times.

00:06:33.200 The New York times is, uh, running the headline.

00:06:36.760 Wait until you hear the story.

00:06:38.160 Can removing highways fix American cities?

00:06:42.980 Now, Stu, I want you to listen to this.

00:06:45.920 I want you to listen to this.

00:06:47.160 Uh, the, the cities now are thinking about removing highways because the highway system

00:06:57.380 has destroyed the city and it is cut black neighborhoods and poor neighborhoods in half 0.99

00:07:04.060 by putting these highways right there.

00:07:07.440 Uh, in the, I'm quoting from the New York times, the growing movement has been energized

00:07:13.380 by support from the Biden administration, which is made addressing racial justice and climate

00:07:20.360 change, major themes in the debate over highway removal.

00:07:25.800 Now, I really only have one question.

00:07:31.000 Did anybody know we were debating removing our highways?

00:07:35.320 Cause I've been left out of that debate.

00:07:36.860 I, I, and I think I should say something about it.

00:07:39.380 I, I got an opinion.

00:07:41.280 How about you?

00:07:41.860 Uh, yeah, I've, you know, you hear this complaint every once in a while that, uh, that, you know,

00:07:47.560 wonderful neighborhoods get destroyed by highways and, you know, I mean, maybe there's some

00:07:52.260 examples of that, but generally speaking, highways are pretty good.

00:07:55.300 I've noticed cause I don't want to be going 14 miles an hour everywhere I go.

00:08:00.040 You know, I have to tell you, have you ever driven route 66?

00:08:04.160 No, I've never have.

00:08:05.440 Yeah.

00:08:05.700 Okay.

00:08:05.980 I have.

00:08:07.120 It's not as good as the song promises.

00:08:11.200 It's slow.

00:08:12.360 There are stoplights.

00:08:14.780 Once is more than enough, more than enough.

00:08:19.040 I mean, you'll, once in a while you'll hit these old timey places and you're like, oh,

00:08:22.620 wow, look at this must've been a great little town of six shops and four of them are gas

00:08:29.220 stations.

00:08:30.020 This must've been really cute in the 1950s.

00:08:32.760 And then you hit a stoplight and you're like, and this is why it's gone.

00:08:38.360 Didn't you live in a city?

00:08:39.720 Was it Phoenix when you were younger that didn't have any highways?

00:08:43.620 I did.

00:08:44.700 It was great.

00:08:45.700 So back in the eighties, I lived in the beautiful town of Phoenix and one of the places I never

00:08:52.600 went to, I think it was Mesa because there were no highways.

00:08:59.100 The, the founding fathers of Phoenix in their great, great wisdom said, we don't want to

00:09:04.060 turn this into another Los Angeles.

00:09:06.200 We don't want all these highways and we don't want to be driving across the desert for our

00:09:11.140 forever.

00:09:11.820 So they didn't build any highways and it was wonderful because I could live in one town

00:09:19.360 and the next neighboring town.

00:09:22.080 I never went to because it would take you four hours to get there.

00:09:27.740 It was wonderful.

00:09:29.500 It was wonderful.

00:09:31.400 Yeah. 0.91

00:09:32.000 I mean, it's, it's, uh, it does seem to be one of these ridiculous things like you, I'm

00:09:36.580 sorry, this is news for everybody.

00:09:38.360 If you have a really poor downtrodden area of town and you remove the highway, what you

00:09:44.020 will have is a poor downridden, you know, area of town without a highway.

00:09:48.680 Like it's not exactly right.

00:09:51.040 People are going to be like, okay, let's build our mansions now. 0.60

00:09:53.660 No, no.

00:09:54.760 Poor people are going to move back in and they're going to make it nice. 0.99

00:09:59.160 Pete Buttigieg who heads the department has expressed support for removing highways and

00:10:06.480 other barriers that divide black and minority communities saying there is racism physically

00:10:12.620 built into some of our highways.

00:10:14.820 Oh man, we should get rid of those racist highways.

00:10:20.400 Yeah.

00:10:20.820 By the way, are you, what are they doing?

00:10:23.340 What are they doing?

00:10:24.520 We could build them all out of lumber.

00:10:26.420 No, that will be too expensive because the price of lumber is going to be doubled today.

00:10:30.880 So I don't know.

00:10:32.880 What should we do?

00:10:34.420 It's interesting.

00:10:34.920 I lived in a, I grew up in a very middle class sort of town and it was divided by a highway.

00:10:40.100 I now live in a nicer area of the state, which is also divided by a highway.

00:10:45.580 It doesn't seem to have much of an impact on the communities at all.

00:10:50.080 You know what's running through my town, which is a very nice town?

00:10:52.460 A highway.

00:10:54.140 A highway.

00:10:55.540 Okay.

00:10:56.160 You, you get, you get an underpass, an overpass, you do things like that.

00:11:01.620 And yeah, it's divided.

00:11:03.940 It's divided the town, but nobody really seems to have a problem.

00:11:09.720 Pat was riding with me.

00:11:11.700 He was from the West.

00:11:12.540 He had never been out East.

00:11:14.080 And, uh, he, we were taking Amtrak from Washington DC to New York.

00:11:19.360 And I'll never forget.

00:11:20.620 He was looking through it and he's like, man, the train tracks, they were built in the worst

00:11:26.220 part of towns.

00:11:27.220 There's nothing going to these cities.

00:11:28.660 I said, Pat, these tracks were laid a long time ago.

00:11:34.640 Nobody wanted to upgrade or build.

00:11:37.040 Who wants to live next to the railroad tracks?

00:11:40.500 It's not like they were saying, gee, uh, where are we going to lay this?

00:11:43.420 Are there any blacks over here?

00:11:44.800 Cause it will just build it here. 0.73

00:11:46.160 No, no, no.

00:11:47.960 Which came first?

00:11:49.400 I kind of had this idea that maybe the goal was to not have poor neighborhoods.

00:11:54.440 Like, I don't want people living in poor neighborhoods if we can all avoid it.

00:11:58.620 We want to upgrade those neighborhoods.

00:12:00.100 But what happens, Glenn, when you upgrade neighborhoods and you put in nicer homes and

00:12:05.680 nicer places, then you get the complaints in the 15,000 word think piece from the New

00:12:10.880 York Times about the gentrification of our cities.

00:12:14.680 People who have lived here all their lives in such, I'm sure, complete happiness.

00:12:19.080 Well, that's why you can have, uh, rent control, rent stabilization.

00:12:25.740 You can, I mean, that's what New York is doing now.

00:12:28.020 They're now going in and they're increasing their subsidies, uh, so they can get, uh, more

00:12:33.340 minorities and low income people to live in the city.

00:12:36.700 Well, you got to do something cause nobody's living in the city anymore.

00:12:39.260 They've destroyed New York COVID and, and, uh, what's his face?

00:12:44.420 The Marxists completely have destroyed the de Blasio, New York.

00:12:49.200 It ain't coming back anytime soon.

00:12:51.160 Uh, and, uh, so now what, now what are you going to do?

00:12:55.420 You're wait, you can't afford the police.

00:12:58.820 You're now going to tax people more to pay for housing.

00:13:03.480 They can't even pay for their own housing.

00:13:05.960 Where are you getting all of this money?

00:13:08.160 Well, I guess you could just defund the police and then use that cash.

00:13:11.220 Yeah.

00:13:11.640 Defund the police.

00:13:12.600 Well, no, no, no.

00:13:13.200 No, don't defund it.

00:13:15.000 Reimagine.

00:13:15.640 Oh, okay.

00:13:16.780 Reimagine.

00:13:16.980 Sorry about that.

00:13:17.820 And let's today, cause I didn't even know this was a debate, but let's all spend the

00:13:23.120 day reimagining an America without a highway system.

00:13:27.720 Hmm.

00:13:28.240 Wow.

00:13:28.600 What a pleasure.

00:13:29.200 And like, they seem to want, they're just, I'm putting all these pieces together, but

00:13:33.800 they seem to want no highways, but more train lines.

00:13:38.640 Like, what do we think for, where do the train lines go?

00:13:42.260 First of all, exactly right.

00:13:43.980 And secondly, and if you want to train, uh, it's going to split the town, just like the

00:13:48.980 highway, what they'll do is they'll rip down the highways and then build more trains. 0.99

00:13:53.020 And then, you know, can I, can I tell you something?

00:13:55.020 Honestly, Walt Disney, if he wouldn't have died, we wouldn't have been here.

00:13:59.440 Walt Disney had the answer.

00:14:01.880 It was called Epcot and it is the most ingenious city I've ever seen.

00:14:07.080 It was not an amusement park.

00:14:08.820 I've spent years studying this and I, I just think it's absolutely genius.

00:14:14.740 You had highways in levels that went under every city and every city was shaped like, uh, it 0.57

00:14:24.140 was all shaped around the town and the neighborhoods were all part of the town and, and it came

00:14:30.560 out in like a giant, you know, spoked wheel and it was brilliant.

00:14:34.460 And everything had, uh, you know, what he called the wed walkways, uh, that went into the town

00:14:40.960 and then right into the houses, which were each separated in the front of the house by

00:14:46.820 a park.

00:14:47.500 The back of the house was an alley, but it was the only place where cars were driving.

00:14:52.680 So you could drive right up to your house and park in the back.

00:14:55.200 You had no backyard, but your front yard was a park trying to get everybody to come out

00:15:00.840 of their houses and be a part of the neighborhood.

00:15:04.060 He saw the breakdown of the cities.

00:15:06.440 He saw what was happening and he saw what highways and everything else were doing.

00:15:11.060 And that's why he put trucks and things that were going through the city, not having to stop

00:15:16.740 in the city.

00:15:17.480 They went down underground on one level.

00:15:20.460 So it was like an express lane. 0.99

00:15:21.800 You just bypass all of this crap. 0.78

00:15:24.540 Then those trucks that had to service the town went on the level above that. 0.84

00:15:29.740 There were no trucks up above because all the trucks would be below and they would feed

00:15:35.020 all of the stores, all of the restaurants, everything else from down below, all the loading

00:15:39.920 docks would be below.

00:15:41.460 Then you would have the, the city traffic would be one level.

00:15:46.220 Uh, it would be the top level of the highways and all of that stuff.

00:15:50.980 You could go wherever you needed, but the streets were below and you would take elevators up.

00:15:54.700 And then the last one was public transportation and there was trains and stuff like that on the

00:16:00.140 bottom, but just up above, they also had this really great, he called it the people,

00:16:05.380 Wedway people mover.

00:16:07.080 And you could go from your house to your business on the people mover.

00:16:11.060 It was, it was fantastic.

00:16:13.220 Nobody, nobody, nobody is even thinking like that.

00:16:17.380 I was in a town here in Texas the other day.

00:16:19.800 And color is a color.

00:16:22.120 Do you know, Rob color, right?

00:16:24.760 How do you, do you know color?

00:16:26.160 It's anyway, it's a small little town.

00:16:28.000 I'd never been there before.

00:16:29.140 It's great.

00:16:30.360 And what it is, is try this out for size.

00:16:33.820 A small old city.

00:16:35.860 It's like a little town, uh, that has the downtown and the housing and everything right

00:16:43.460 there around a central green, you know, like our founders built.

00:16:49.560 And I saw it and I thought this is a beautiful little town.

00:16:52.160 It's got little specialty shops in it and everything else.

00:16:54.220 You want to go to a big box store, go, go to the big box store down, down, down there.

00:16:57.960 All the big box stores right down there, but they're not in town.

00:17:01.120 And it was this community.

00:17:02.740 The art center was right in the center of town.

00:17:05.100 It was really great in Texas.

00:17:07.160 These towns are starting to be built.

00:17:09.660 That's good.

00:17:10.560 That will restore community and, and everything else.

00:17:13.640 It'll be great.

00:17:14.620 But until we actually start to buy in it, can we, again, the headline from the New York

00:17:22.540 Times can removing highways, fix our cities. 0.98

00:17:27.780 No, unless you remove them and have a plan on what you're going to do with all the traffic

00:17:35.420 that's going through and around your city.

00:17:39.700 Good heavens.

00:17:42.360 Coming up in just a second, I'm going to tell you about the new AMA approved gender nullification

00:17:48.780 surgery that I'm sure it's ethically totally cool.

00:17:53.720 It will remove your genitals, no matter what sex you are. 1.00

00:17:58.440 So you can be not like Barbie because that's bad. 0.92

00:18:02.040 You can be like a Ken doll, smooth down below, just like a Ken doll with no gender qualities. 0.83

00:18:10.780 Doctors, I think you're on the right track.

00:18:13.460 You should read some stuff about the 20s and 30s, but don't worry.

00:18:17.380 I'm sure you're on the right track.

00:18:19.080 Back in just a second, one minute for our sponsor this half hour.

00:18:22.560 It's Relief Factor.

00:18:23.980 With the pain that's been lingering around for a while, if you have it and it just won't

00:18:28.120 go away, believe me, brother, I know it.

00:18:30.660 I want to talk to you about, I want to talk to you about, I tried everything, absolutely

00:18:35.480 everything.

00:18:36.540 Then I tried Relief Factor because my wife was sick of hearing me whine. 1.00

00:18:40.040 And she said, I'm not going to listen to you whine anymore unless you try everything.

00:18:43.740 You try Relief Factor.

00:18:44.720 And I'm like, people on the radio are talking about it.

00:18:47.360 It's not going to work.

00:18:48.420 She's like, excuse me.

00:18:49.400 And I'm like, you know what I mean.

00:18:51.480 She's like, no, I don't know what you mean, Mr. Radio.

00:18:54.600 And I'm like, none of this stuff works.

00:18:57.460 They say that it's organic and it's all natural and it reduces inflammation.

00:19:03.520 I've hit the hard stuff, lady.

00:19:05.120 I've had ibuprofen 800.

00:19:07.040 Yeah.

00:19:07.700 Yeah.

00:19:08.340 That's the hard stuff.

00:19:09.660 You go to the doctor and they're like, well, have you ever had ibuprofen 800?

00:19:12.820 Yeah.

00:19:13.320 I've taken four ibuprofens out of the bottle.

00:19:16.480 Put your pad down.

00:19:17.520 It doesn't work.

00:19:18.200 But anyway, I tried it within a month.

00:19:22.240 My pain was going away.

00:19:24.580 I take it every single day and it has helped me so much.

00:19:28.860 I feel like I have my life back.

00:19:30.620 Try it.

00:19:31.620 It's a three week trial period.

00:19:33.320 They admit about 70% of the people it works on 30%.

00:19:37.380 It doesn't.

00:19:38.320 That's why they're giving you a three week trial.

00:19:39.980 If it's not working in three weeks, stop taking it.

00:19:42.500 If it works, order some more.

00:19:44.720 70% of the people who order the quick start trial go on to order more month after month.

00:19:54.580 800-583-84.

00:19:56.260 It's relieffactor.com.

00:19:58.320 10 seconds.

00:19:59.100 Station ID.

00:20:08.940 Stu, you're going to love this.

00:20:10.800 There's a new cereal out.

00:20:12.660 New cereal out.

00:20:13.460 Kellogg's is releasing a breakfast cereal designed to support the community that have other pronouns.

00:20:28.340 So whatever pronoun you use, kids, I mean, I know I want my six-year-old sitting around the table going, I'm a them.

00:20:35.480 I think that's a great, healthy thing for society.

00:20:37.880 Good for their English class, too.

00:20:39.520 That's going to work out well for the grammar tests.

00:20:42.520 Yeah.

00:20:43.260 No, the grammar tests are going to be great.

00:20:45.460 So on each box of the new Together cereal, you can play little games where you can celebrate your pronouns.

00:20:55.840 I wish this actually was about real pronouns, not saying I'm an it, you know, but I think this is great because as the slogan goes, no matter who you are, who you love, or what pronouns you use, you're too awesome to fit into a box.

00:21:16.940 Boxes are for cereal.

00:21:17.940 Boxes are for cereal, not people.

00:21:21.720 Oh, that's great.

00:21:22.480 Wow.

00:21:22.980 That's wonderful. 0.99

00:21:23.960 Also, genitals are for cereal. 0.99

00:21:25.740 I don't know why. 0.93

00:21:27.000 Why sexuality would have anything to do with your breakfast cereal?

00:21:30.060 Generally, I don't like thinking about genitals at breakfast time, you know, or talking about that stuff.

00:21:37.300 I don't want to talk about Uncle Leo's bad gas at the breakfast table, dinner table, anytime near food.

00:21:42.120 I don't want to hear about it.

00:21:43.860 But this one is designed for our children.

00:21:49.040 So it's incredibly wonderful.

00:21:52.160 I also saw that they have gay Legos now, which is, I thought, pretty nice, or Gagos. 1.00

00:21:57.140 They have, wait, no, that's not serious, is it?

00:22:00.100 They're not called Gagos.

00:22:01.820 That was the term I came up with.

00:22:03.100 I think it is fantastic. 0.95

00:22:05.020 However, no, it's gay Legos. 0.96

00:22:07.200 They came out with a set of Legos where they're all rainbow colored.

00:22:11.060 And then they, of course, have the, they had to add black and brown because you couldn't have an actual, rainbow is not inclusive enough, obviously.

00:22:17.660 So they added black and brown, and then in the very back, you could see the white and the pink.

00:22:23.980 So the women and the white people are in the back of the line. 1.00

00:22:27.160 May I just, may I just say, Stu, you haven't heard anything until you hear about the new stamps from Spain to solve racial equity.

00:22:37.100 They have flesh colored stamps.

00:22:39.040 The least expensive are the black.

00:22:41.040 The most expensive are the white.

00:22:42.760 So the bigger the package, the more black stamps it needs, showing that there's more power with black power. 1.00

00:22:50.820 This is the Glenn Beck Program. 0.98

00:22:53.220 Crazy. 0.72

00:22:56.380 All righty.

00:24:20.720 The Florida school board was met by a bunch of kind of angry parents.

00:24:28.820 And they have moved to remove the word from their new mission statement of redistribute to just distribute.

00:24:44.100 This is being spun as the parents, you know, demanded that they dismantle white advantage teachings with critical race theory.

00:24:57.020 And some of the parents, I mean, I'm telling you, the parents have gone from zero to a hundred in no time.

00:25:04.040 People know now what critical race theory is.

00:25:07.460 There is no science behind it.

00:25:09.660 Period.

00:25:10.480 It came from the Frankfurt School.

00:25:12.640 Don't know what the Frankfurt School is.

00:25:14.140 That's a really happy communist Nazi thing that was happening in Frankfurt, Germany in the 1920s. 0.85

00:25:20.680 When the Nazis came in and everything was changed and it looked like, oh, Nazis, fascism, communism, bad.

00:25:28.760 They left and they planted themselves inside of Columbia University.

00:25:35.540 The Frankfurt School is the one that helped us really discover critical race theory.

00:25:42.080 How do we dismantle the West and how do we build a Marxist society?

00:25:48.320 There's no science to it at all.

00:25:51.320 This anti-racism stuff is 100% Marxism and Frankfurt School.

00:25:59.500 Luckily, a lot of people are understanding that.

00:26:02.680 I'll give you the rest of that story probably on Tuesday because Florida, look out.

00:26:09.780 They are you can never count that you have won with any of these people because they'll do it behind your back.

00:26:17.520 Senator Ted Cruz is with us now.

00:26:21.900 And Ted, welcome to the program.

00:26:24.240 I liked what you announced last night.

00:26:27.200 Glenn, good to be with you.

00:26:28.400 Thank you.

00:26:29.080 Yeah.

00:26:30.220 The No Vaccines Passport Act.

00:26:34.640 I think this is one of the more important things.

00:26:37.540 Can you explain why it's important?

00:26:40.880 Well, sure.

00:26:41.440 So this week, I've introduced legislation in the Senate to prohibit vaccine passports. 0.98

00:26:49.780 My view on vaccines, I believe in vaccines.

00:26:52.540 I've gotten the COVID vaccine myself.

00:26:54.880 Heidi's gotten it.

00:26:55.620 My parents have gotten it.

00:26:57.360 I'm grateful that we have the innovation that led to the vaccines that has enabled for so many of us to return to normal life and the freedoms that we cherish.

00:27:07.480 That being said, I think the decision whether or not to get the vaccine is a personal decision.

00:27:13.960 It ought to be up to you.

00:27:15.020 You ought to make it for your life, for your health situation.

00:27:18.220 And the federal government shouldn't mandate it.

00:27:20.620 There shouldn't be a federally mandated passport.

00:27:23.040 And we should protect your civil rights, your individual liberty.

00:27:26.720 So what my legislation does, it prevents the federal government from requiring a vaccine passport.

00:27:32.760 And it also prohibits discrimination based on whether or not you choose to get the vaccine.

00:27:38.600 We're seeing employers across the country who are firing their employees if they don't get vaccinated.

00:27:44.480 I think that's not right.

00:27:45.540 You ought to have the same civil rights protections you have for other things in the workplace. 0.58

00:27:50.000 And it ought to be your individual choice based on on your individual liberty.

00:27:56.380 I have to tell you, Ted, this has become all about politics, 100 percent about politics.

00:28:02.380 People have lost their reason entirely.

00:28:05.960 I haven't gotten a vaccine because I had it in December and I had a bad bout with it.

00:28:12.300 The the research all shows if you want to follow the science, if you've had it, you have the antibodies and all of this crap that they were saying for the last year about.

00:28:22.920 Yeah, but it may not last very long.

00:28:24.660 They say that if you've had a good case of covid, that you are you have the antibodies and they could last up to years.

00:28:32.620 And I go places and I'm not wearing a mask and I'll say I had it.

00:28:36.120 Oh, my gosh.

00:28:37.080 It's like it's it's like all of a sudden you're you're gerbils or something.

00:28:42.300 Well, there's so much politics about this that it's bizarre.

00:28:47.180 I mean, my view, I've never understood the extremes on either ends of this.

00:28:52.840 There are some folks who never wear a mask and say wearing a mask is terrible.

00:28:57.360 I don't don't get that.

00:28:58.700 Look, it was a contagious disease.

00:29:00.340 It's dangerous in vulnerable populations.

00:29:03.100 It could be deadly.

00:29:04.240 You know, I wore a mask.

00:29:05.260 I still wear a mask on an airplane.

00:29:06.580 And I think taking reasonable steps to to limit the spread of an infectious disease.

00:29:12.540 I think that makes sense.

00:29:13.960 But on the other side, the folks that are just virtue signaling that a mask shows how righteous they are, I think is bizarre.

00:29:24.180 You know, when you're driving down the road, you see someone in a car alone wearing a mask or a double mask.

00:29:29.940 I just laugh out loud.

00:29:31.980 It's like, you know, what the heck is wrong with you?

00:29:35.040 I know it's it's really bizarre.

00:29:37.560 So the vaccine, Glenn, I got in trouble with my team because I did tweet out.

00:29:43.080 I said, we're wearing a mask in a car alone is like wearing a condom in bed alone.

00:29:49.220 Very true.

00:29:52.600 Very true.

00:29:53.580 What exactly is the point here?

00:29:57.760 So so, Ted, the problem with the vaccines or the not the vaccine, but the problem with the vaccine passport, the government is going to say we're not going to do any vaccine passports.

00:30:09.360 You know, the private industry wants to do that, but they are making an end run around our Constitution on almost everything with the the coddling of these giant corporations.

00:30:21.720 I've never been a guy who's been against, you know, corporations.

00:30:25.360 I'm a free market guy.

00:30:26.520 But when the free market becomes an arm of the government and they are the ones spying on people because the government can't, but we'll share that information with the government.

00:30:37.540 That's just an end run.

00:30:39.300 Is there anything that's going to stop these corporations from doing this?

00:30:43.620 Well, part of the legislation I've introduced prohibits discrimination based on vaccine status.

00:30:52.660 And so what it does is it adds it to the existing civil rights laws.

00:30:57.720 And so the Americans with Disability Act, for example, requires that that you make a reasonable accommodation for an employee that that has a disability.

00:31:07.180 Now, reasonable accommodation doesn't mean that you always allow, you know, look, someone who's blind, you wouldn't hire to be an airplane pilot. 0.65

00:31:18.180 I mean, there are there are some instances where there are disqualifying medical conditions.

00:31:25.420 I would beg to differ with you, and I am not making this up.

00:31:28.320 This is absolutely true.

00:31:29.440 When I worked at CNN, they had a deaf sound engineer.

00:31:34.600 So, please, don't give me your non-woke descriptions of what people can and cannot do.

00:31:40.260 That's crazy.

00:31:42.020 But that's what they did.

00:31:43.160 Wow.

00:31:44.020 Yeah.

00:31:45.060 Was the guy any good?

00:31:46.440 Could he do his job?

00:31:48.900 Well, I only know that he was deaf because I had to ask about some issues.

00:31:56.120 And they were like, yeah, don't ask.

00:31:57.280 He's deaf. 0.90

00:31:58.940 And I'm like, excuse me?

00:32:01.460 Anyway, anyway.

00:32:02.460 So the point is, we have an existing legal structure that that that protects your civil rights and with respect to disabilities requires reasonable accommodations.

00:32:14.620 And what my legislation does is it puts your choice of whether or not to get a vaccine with the same protection so that so that the blaze doesn't fire you, Glenn, because you chose not to get a vaccine.

00:32:29.080 Now, given the control of the company, I think you're pretty safe there.

00:32:31.620 But, you know, well, I mean, I could be schizophrenic at some point.

00:32:37.220 Let me, is there any chance of this passing in the House and the Senate?

00:32:44.900 I don't know.

00:32:46.120 So I just introduced it.

00:32:48.060 The question obviously is going to be, will Democrats be willing to support it?

00:32:52.420 The Biden administration has at least said publicly that they do not support a federally mandated vaccine passport.

00:33:01.640 Now, I think you and I have reason to be skeptical of that claim.

00:33:05.900 And so it will be interesting to see.

00:33:07.960 So I have not yet, and I will in the coming weeks, be reaching out to Democrats and seeing if any Democrats are willing to come together and support it.

00:33:15.300 If no Democrat supports it, then no, it won't pass in a Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi Congress.

00:33:21.300 If Democrats are willing to support it, and they should, then it has a chance of passage.

00:33:26.760 We'll have to see what they're willing to do.

00:33:28.380 All right, Ted, a couple of other questions just to sweep up on some things.

00:33:32.980 The January 6th committee, I have no problem with a committee looking into what happened on January 6th, which I think was disgusting,

00:33:40.040 and what happened all around the country on the other side all through the summer.

00:33:45.520 But that's, they're only doing January 6th.

00:33:48.560 And, you know, you just said, and I had a hard time not speaking out about it, when you just said, you know, we have a system that protects people's rights.

00:33:59.560 Well, as you are well aware, the Justice Department is going through every cell phone record.

00:34:06.960 If you were even in Washington that day, there's no warrants, nothing.

00:34:12.820 They are just going through everyone.

00:34:15.000 If you were GPS tagged for Washington, D.C., they're going through everything.

00:34:19.820 What the hell happened to civil rights?

00:34:22.000 Well, look, I think civil rights are always in peril, particularly when you have too big government and over-vigorous criminal prosecution.

00:34:36.140 But my view, let's start with first principles.

00:34:40.060 Violence is wrong.

00:34:41.740 Violence is always wrong.

00:34:42.880 If you carry out an act of violence against someone else, if you assault someone else, if you injure someone else, if you attack a police officer, you should be prosecuted.

00:34:53.120 You should go to jail.

00:34:55.020 100%.

00:34:55.500 And that's true regardless of your politics, whether you're right wing, left wing, or you have no wings at all.

00:35:02.620 I think the guys who broke into the Capitol, I think the people who broke into the Capitol, put their feet on Nancy Pelosi's desk or whatever, I think they should all go to jail.

00:35:10.800 That was wrong.

00:35:11.860 No questions asked.

00:35:13.000 I don't care who you were for or who you were against.

00:35:14.800 It's wrong.

00:35:15.260 Go to jail. 0.51

00:35:16.820 Look, that's exactly right.

00:35:18.520 And there were a lot of police officers who were assaulted, who were injured, some injured badly that day.

00:35:25.060 And I think if you hurt somebody else, if you hurt a cop, you ought to do serious jail time.

00:35:33.760 And so I support prosecuting anyone who committed a crime of violence.

00:35:38.820 Now, there were thousands of people in Washington that were peacefully protesting, that didn't break into the Capitol, that didn't hurt anybody.

00:35:46.200 And I don't think they should be persecuted for standing in the National Mall and singing God Bless America.

00:35:51.900 There's a difference between peaceful protests and committing acts of violence.

00:35:56.480 As you noted as well, January 6th is not the only day on which acts of violence occurred in America.

00:36:02.240 We just came through a year where for almost an entire year we saw riots across the country.

00:36:09.300 We saw peaceful protesters, yes, and they have a First Amendment right to do so.

00:36:13.460 But we also saw violent criminals that were firebombing police cars, that were looting stores, that were assaulting, and in some instances murdering police officers.

00:36:23.460 Every one of those violent criminals should be prosecuted and go to jail.

00:36:27.020 So is the January 6th commission going to pass in the Senate?

00:36:32.880 I don't think it will.

00:36:34.540 We're likely going to vote on it later today.

00:36:37.520 It will take 60 votes.

00:36:40.160 So the question is, are 10 Republicans going to vote for it?

00:36:43.840 I think the answer is probably not.

00:36:45.960 And part of the reason is, we already have multiple investigations going on.

00:36:50.760 We have multiple congressional committees investigating.

00:36:53.680 We have the Department of Justice.

00:36:54.620 We have the FBI and what Schumer and Pelosi want is they want a partisan kangaroo court to spend two years laying out the theory that Donald Trump is bad and Republicans are bad.

00:37:07.920 And it's all about the next election.

00:37:10.360 And so that's why I'm not going to support it.

00:37:12.140 I think most Republicans in the Senate are not going to support it.

00:37:15.300 Okay, one last thing, two-part question, but we only have about 70 seconds for an answer.

00:37:22.120 The $6 trillion, is it six or eight, $6 trillion budget proposal that came from Biden, and the, you know, we'll give you half a trillion dollars for infrastructure.

00:37:35.820 What's happening there?

00:37:37.160 Are the Republicans going to hold the line here?

00:37:39.420 I don't know.

00:37:41.420 I don't know.

00:37:42.120 I am worried about it.

00:37:44.380 You know, Biden has laid out, it's actually about $7 trillion in new spending.

00:37:50.340 I've been joking, please, dear God, nobody tell the Democrats what comes after a trillion.

00:37:55.440 Trillion.

00:37:57.140 It is, the amount of spending they are rolling out is staggering.

00:38:03.800 It is a budget in excess of what we spent in World War II.

00:38:07.460 We're already seeing inflation taking off across the country, and I think we are on the verge, potentially, of a serious inflation crisis.

00:38:16.620 I think we need to stop bankrupting the country, and that's what I'm fighting to do.

00:38:21.040 At least so far, Republicans have not been willing to go along with this.

00:38:26.040 It is always dangerous, though.

00:38:27.620 I mean, look, there has been historically a coalition of all the Democrats and a bunch of the Republicans who are willing to spend and spend and spend and spend.

00:38:35.480 Write down what my Republican colleagues.

00:38:39.680 Yeah.

00:38:39.940 Yeah, go ahead.

00:38:40.700 No, go ahead.

00:38:41.560 They're usually not as bad as Democrats.

00:38:44.480 You know, years ago, a friend of mine suggested a bumper sticker.

00:38:48.900 Republicans, we waste less.

00:38:53.040 That is a way.

00:38:55.340 I hope we hold the line.

00:38:56.440 Yeah, that's the quickest way to lose people coming out and voting for the Republicans to stop this madness.

00:39:05.480 This is madness that's going on.

00:39:07.820 Clear and utter madness.

00:39:10.200 Ted, thank you for the good fight.

00:39:12.020 Thank you for the new bill on the passports.

00:39:15.040 And we're here to inform people that it should be supported.

00:39:20.280 No vaccine passports.

00:39:21.980 Ted Cruz, thank you very much.

00:39:23.180 All right, our sponsor this half hour is American Financing.

00:39:28.620 American Financing is a place you can go if you are looking to save money, maybe up to $1,000 a month.

00:39:35.420 How could that help you dig yourself out of this hole if you saved $1,000 a month?

00:39:39.900 All you have to do is reduce the interest that you are paying.

00:39:44.120 Believe it or not, it's that simple.

00:39:45.780 How much are you paying for those credit cards?

00:39:48.280 How much interest every single month are you paying?

00:39:50.920 That doesn't go to pay your bill down.

00:39:53.240 That just goes to maintain that loan. 0.51

00:39:56.520 What you need to do is roll all of that into your mortgage and lower the mortgage payment so you don't have a high interest rate on your mortgage as well.

00:40:25.540 Hey, Stu.

00:40:30.600 Why don't you look something up?

00:40:32.380 Do you know who the highest paid federal employee is?

00:40:35.740 Highest paid federal employee.

00:40:38.360 Let's see.

00:40:39.840 Makes over $400,000 a year.

00:40:43.000 Used to be the guy.

00:40:44.140 Used to be the guy, I think, in...

00:40:46.280 Where was it?

00:40:46.900 Tennessee or...

00:40:48.860 Yeah, I mean, I'm...

00:40:50.560 It seems like Dr. Anthony Fauci.

00:40:53.220 Dr. Fauci, highest paid...

00:40:56.680 Your tax dollars pay him more money than anyone else in the entire federal government.

00:41:04.660 Seems right.

00:41:07.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:10.100 All right, I got to talk to you about home title theft.

00:41:11.820 Cyber thieves remove you from your home's title, become the owner themselves, and then leave you out in the cold.

00:41:18.360 You better get home title locked because this stuff is going on.

00:41:20.800 And Facebook has had a breach in their, you know, we have these data breaches all the time.

00:41:27.140 They had 500 million accounts exposed to cyber thieves.

00:41:29.620 And according to a retired FBI cybercrime expert, that's everything thieves need to take over your home.

00:41:35.480 Everything was leaked.

00:41:36.460 A name, personal address, information, it's all out there.

00:41:39.380 You know it's out there.

00:41:40.100 Someone's got it.

00:41:41.500 Anyway, even if it's not through the Facebook hack, someone has control of your data.

00:41:47.340 Don't let them steal your home along with it.

00:41:49.340 Go to HomeTitleLock.com and register your address to see if you're already a victim.

00:41:53.700 Then sign up for 30 risk-free days of protection during this high-risk breach.

00:42:29.740 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:35.760 Hello, America.

00:42:37.640 Welcome to the program.

00:42:39.040 It's Friday, which means Bill O'Reilly is coming up next.

00:42:44.800 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:48.020 Hmm.

00:42:48.920 Bill O'Reilly.

00:42:49.800 I wonder if you'll have an opinion on anything today.

00:42:52.340 Can't wait.

00:42:53.520 Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

00:42:55.240 My sister is visiting from Wyoming, and she just came in this morning and bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and she's had all kinds of problems.

00:43:05.120 She's had bad back and Crohn's disease and everything else, and she said, I have to tell you, I started taking Relief Factor because of you.

00:43:12.740 And I said, really?

00:43:14.380 And she said, yeah, my daughter, you know, listens to you, and she got some of that relief factor, and she's been doing so much better.

00:43:22.180 She's got, like, bad back where she's got a cage inside of her, around her spine, and she's doing really well.

00:43:28.980 And she said, I came down to her house, and she's doing so well, and I said, wow.

00:43:33.640 And she said, I was all hunched over.

00:43:35.620 I was in so much pain.

00:43:36.500 She said, look at me.

00:43:38.060 I've been taking it for a week.

00:43:39.400 I feel so much better.

00:43:40.880 Relief Factor.

00:43:42.040 You know, I don't know why people will say, Glenn, do you really believe?

00:43:46.340 Then again, I've done that to people, too.

00:43:47.880 Do you really believe that?

00:43:48.900 I don't know why, because I will not endorse something I don't believe in.

00:43:53.260 I take this every day.

00:43:55.000 It works, at least for me, and it will work for 70% of the people.

00:43:58.900 At least that's what the stats show.

00:44:00.560 30% it won't.

00:44:01.680 That's why they offer you a three-week trial pack.

00:44:04.380 If it's not working in three weeks, it's not going to work for you.

00:44:06.960 Call 800-583-84.

00:44:09.220 800-583-84.

00:44:11.000 It's relieffactor.com.

00:44:15.020 Mr. Bill O'Reilly, the author of Killing the Mob, and also the Bill O'Reilly thing that he does,

00:44:24.120 something about sitting and spinning or something, BillOReilly.com.

00:44:27.600 Welcome to the program, Bill.

00:44:29.460 How are you?

00:44:30.000 No spin news, Beck.

00:44:33.000 Ah, that's what it is.

00:44:34.100 That's what it is.

00:44:34.900 I knew it was something about sitting and spinning.

00:44:37.800 No spin news.

00:44:38.760 On O'Reilly.com.

00:44:39.860 Not a spin pass.

00:44:41.820 Right?

00:44:42.420 Okay.

00:44:44.020 All right.

00:44:44.560 Good.

00:44:45.180 Good.

00:44:45.880 Here we are on Memorial Day.

00:44:47.660 Gas prices are the highest they are in seven years.

00:44:51.760 Nobody seems to be talking about that in the news.

00:44:54.780 And the Biden administration has just moved to double the tariffs today on Canadian lumber.

00:45:00.900 Yeah.

00:45:01.900 Even though lumber is skyrocketing.

00:45:05.860 Is the president, does he think that, is this like golf, where the way you normally keep score is just the opposite?

00:45:14.980 Because it seems like he's trying to destroy us.

00:45:18.920 How is he thinking any of this is good for the economy?

00:45:23.260 Well, he doesn't think that way.

00:45:25.660 So there are two things going on.

00:45:27.780 Number one, there's a difference now in the way corporate media is covering the news as opposed to during Donald Trump's years.

00:45:36.280 Uh, you may have noticed this during Trump's years, it was demonized and attacked Trump every day.

00:45:43.100 So it was, uh, outrage du jour.

00:45:46.820 I used to call it.

00:45:48.260 And now it's ignore failures from the Biden administration, black them out.

00:45:58.440 Do not mention the failures.

00:46:02.560 So that it's been a shift.

00:46:04.540 And these are the, some of the most powerful companies in the world.

00:46:09.040 Now we're talking Disney, Comcast, uh, Viacom, CBS.

00:46:13.360 And the basic thrust is we backed Biden.

00:46:18.140 We know Biden is failing because anybody with any analytic capability knows the Biden administration is failing already after four months.

00:46:27.740 But we're not going to mention it because we don't want a big comeback by the Republicans in the midterm elections of 2022.

00:46:37.440 So that's what's in play.

00:46:40.540 Now, as far as Mr.

00:46:41.860 Biden himself is concerned, it is impossible for me to know what goes on in the man's mind.

00:46:49.940 I can't, no one could, but I can tell you this.

00:46:53.720 He is totally disengaged.

00:46:56.360 Right, but let's, but let's, but let's talk about the policies that they're, no, I know you, all right.

00:47:03.820 All right.

00:47:04.900 He's totally disengaged in any problem solving effort.

00:47:09.740 He's not trying to solve any problems.

00:47:14.180 That I can tell you with certainty.

00:47:16.740 Go.

00:47:17.380 Okay.

00:47:18.140 So I know this, uh, and, um, but, but the people around him know what the policies are.

00:47:25.880 Uh, and it, it, I mean, why would you put tariffs on, on lumber when we are having lumber prices go up 800%?

00:47:36.380 Uh, why, why is the New York times today reporting on something that apparently we all were aware of because they say,

00:47:44.000 you know, this is an, in a continuation of the ongoing, uh, conversation about removing America's highway systems.

00:47:52.580 I didn't even know we were having that conversation and I can't imagine what would be, what good would come from removing our highway situations, uh, or highways.

00:48:04.360 Uh, but Pete Buddha judge heads up.

00:48:06.300 The department has expressed support for removing the barriers that divide black and minority communities, uh, saying there is racism physically.

00:48:13.440 Uh, built in to our highway system.

00:48:17.120 Yeah.

00:48:18.220 I mean, it, it, there's, there's nothing here that is, is going, uh, for America.

00:48:25.080 None of this.

00:48:26.680 No, it's all about, um, tribalism and there are highways that have gone through minority neighborhoods and have adversely affected that.

00:48:37.120 Sure.

00:48:38.200 Yeah.

00:48:38.500 All right.

00:48:38.780 So I guess, uh, the Biden administration is going to tear all of them down, uh, because they want to spend $6 trillion.

00:48:46.360 They're going to announce that today, but let me get to the lumber thing in Canada.

00:48:49.960 That this is all about cheese.

00:48:52.880 It's not about lumber.

00:48:54.620 All right.

00:48:55.540 So the Trudeau government in Ottawa, um, slapped on restrictions on American dairy farmers, sending cheese to Canada because they want to protect the Canadian farmers.

00:49:12.660 In return for that, the Biden administration has slapped tariffs on lumber.

00:49:19.020 Now you ask, well, why would they do that?

00:49:21.160 Since we already have a lumber shortage and housing building materials have gone up 300% in four months.

00:49:27.600 Why would they do that?

00:49:28.660 Because they're not looking out for the folks.

00:49:30.920 This isn't about helping individual Americans.

00:49:34.920 It's about amassing as much power as possible in Washington, D.C. to basically change the whole economic system of this country.

00:49:44.680 That's what's going on.

00:49:46.120 It's not about Americans paying far more for gasoline and therefore paying far more for food because all the food has to be trucked in.

00:49:55.640 Not about that.

00:49:57.120 It's about we're going to control the private economy.

00:50:00.440 We, the Biden administration in Washington, we're going to control the marketplace and we're going to break the private marketplace.

00:50:08.460 We're going to break you.

00:50:10.200 That's what's happening.

00:50:11.100 So we have trillions of dollars now pumping into the system and Joe Biden has just just put forward a budget of six trillion dollars.

00:50:23.460 That's more than we spent in World War Two.

00:50:26.780 It's the highest spending we've ever had as a nation.

00:50:31.620 Six trillion dollars.

00:50:33.040 That's double, double the current out of control budget.

00:50:37.560 I don't know what everything is going to be spent on, but that do we ever recover from all of this spending, Bill?

00:50:51.040 Well, the inflation is going to devastate Americans who have saved up for education or retirement.

00:50:57.980 That's certainly going to happen.

00:50:59.340 Oh, good.

00:51:00.240 So the people who played by the rules, now let's screw them even more.

00:51:06.980 That's right. 0.98

00:51:07.860 Every, every American is going to get screwed. 0.90

00:51:10.100 Every single person is going to get screwed because the criminal justice system is collapsing and the economic system won't be far behind that. 0.94

00:51:18.700 And Missouri has already lost.

00:51:20.520 Missouri has lost 26 percent of small businesses just because of the the pandemic.

00:51:26.160 You and I both know jobs are created by small business people and they're destroying those.

00:51:33.620 That's right.

00:51:33.960 But that's why Biden wants this massive spending so the federal government can take over from small business and provide jobs in the highway sector or the green energy sector.

00:51:46.920 But I want to tell you one thing about this.

00:51:48.780 If you watch the nose of the news back, which you do not, by the way, you do not.

00:51:52.940 I don't even know what channel it's on.

00:51:58.320 Yeah.

00:51:58.500 OK, it's on every channel.

00:51:59.960 You can't escape it.

00:52:01.080 Go to Bill O'Reilly dot com.

00:52:03.340 And that's an Internet.

00:52:04.560 OK, those Internet things are scams.

00:52:06.680 He's the only reporter in the world to tell you that FDR tried the same thing in 1935 that Biden is trying now.

00:52:19.000 What Biden is doing now is a replica of what Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to do in 1935.

00:52:27.720 Which was what?

00:52:28.720 Take over the private economy.

00:52:30.780 Yes.

00:52:31.860 Price controls all of it.

00:52:33.520 Yes.

00:52:34.980 The Supreme Court ruled unanimously what FDR tried to do in 1935 was unconstitutional.

00:52:44.280 All right.

00:52:45.320 Nobody knows that.

00:52:46.680 But me, Beck, you don't know it.

00:52:48.460 Of course not.

00:52:52.280 FDR, you're going to have to back up and explain who he was.

00:52:55.900 But what I said last night, because I presented you the facts.

00:53:00.200 And if you look up the case, you'll see it.

00:53:02.780 All right.

00:53:03.520 Yeah.

00:53:03.740 The Supreme Court slapped down FDR's budget and his vision of taking over the economy.

00:53:12.140 That could happen today.

00:53:13.980 So I suggested that the attorney general of Texas immediately, if this budget is passed or it doesn't even matter, he can write up something today.

00:53:25.240 I'm going to sue the Biden administration on behalf of Texas, and it'll be the same suit, and they'll win in the Supreme Court.

00:53:36.700 What was the name of the case?

00:53:38.180 What was the name of the case?

00:53:41.040 I don't have it off the top of my head.

00:53:43.000 Oh, my gosh.

00:53:43.920 Who is it?

00:53:44.780 All you have to do is Google, Google, FDR, Supreme Court, 1935, and it'll pop up.

00:53:54.440 Okay.

00:53:54.880 And what was the specific case?

00:53:57.660 Do you remember the specifics on that?

00:53:59.120 What was the specific case?

00:54:00.200 Who was making the charge?

00:54:01.200 Who was suing?

00:54:02.180 And why did they win?

00:54:03.660 The case was brought by private business owners that said they could not conduct commerce, interstate commerce, because of all the restrictions FDR was putting on them.

00:54:20.280 That was the case.

00:54:22.520 Okay.

00:54:23.120 You can do the exact same thing now, and you're going to have to, although I don't think this budget is going to pass, by the way.

00:54:30.640 But they're not going to stop.

00:54:32.340 See, what your listeners need to know is that this is a well-thought-out campaign to wrangle private business, to put as many companies out of business, so the federal government steps in and provides all the employment.

00:54:52.560 It is why the federal government did all of the forbearance, and they own, now between the federal government and the Federal Reserve, about 90% of all low-income housing and 70% of all mortgages, period, in this country.

00:55:12.460 They are the ones who are the lender of last resort.

00:55:16.780 They're the ones that have bought up during forbearance.

00:55:20.860 So they're the guarantors.

00:55:23.280 I mean, you can't pay.

00:55:25.600 The government is the one that ends up with your house, your home.

00:55:28.960 They are owning everything through this.

00:55:32.340 That's right, because that takes away freedom and liberty and self-reliance from the people and makes the people dependent on the Democratic Party in Washington, which will dole out the goodies, the jobs, the entitlements, the mortgages.

00:55:54.980 This is a well-designed plan that has been executed in every socialist country on Earth.

00:56:03.720 That's what you're seeing.

00:56:05.780 But it'll never be reported by the corporate media or the New York Times or the Washington Post.

00:56:13.680 Therefore, 95% of American voters don't know what's happening, and I don't believe Biden knows either.

00:56:23.080 My producers, I know you can do it on your own, but my producers can put you in direct contact with the attorney general here in Texas.

00:56:34.080 He's a friend.

00:56:34.880 I know he'd come on the show.

00:56:36.140 You should ask him to do it.

00:56:37.960 You should explain this to him and see if he'd do it, because they love suing the federal government here in Texas.

00:56:43.380 They love it.

00:56:44.220 They love it.

00:56:44.700 And they usually win.

00:56:46.780 I think they probably know, Beck.

00:56:48.180 I think they probably know this.

00:56:50.420 If they don't, you can tell them.

00:56:51.700 And I'm happy to talk to them.

00:56:53.960 But my job is to report the news.

00:56:56.080 That's what it is.

00:56:57.700 And I'm so angry that the news in America is not being reported any longer.

00:57:02.520 And you know it.

00:57:03.240 Yeah.

00:57:03.640 You know it.

00:57:04.680 I know it.

00:57:05.440 Okay.

00:57:05.760 I want to get into some of that here in just a second.

00:57:08.100 Let me take a one-minute break back with Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com.

00:57:12.060 Also, Killing the Mob, which is the number one bestseller in America now.

00:57:16.540 Killing the Mob by Bill O'Reilly.

00:57:18.160 It's a great book.

00:57:19.060 Our sponsor, American Financing, NMLS, 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:57:26.980 Thank you.

00:57:27.880 American Financing, remind you, being fiscally responsible is really important if you want

00:57:33.220 to have some flexibility, even a little bit of comfort in your life.

00:57:36.800 Now is the time to make sure that you have your debts paid down as much as possible,

00:57:42.360 that you don't have high-interest credit card debt, because you're never going to get

00:57:46.080 out of that, and that's where they are going to put the screws to people.

00:57:49.780 They're going to put the screws, because if they raise the interest rate overall for lending,

00:57:56.360 what's going to happen?

00:57:57.820 The federal government is going to have a $2 trillion bill in addition every single year

00:58:05.320 just for the interest on our loans.

00:58:07.820 So they're not going to raise the interest rates there.

00:58:09.900 I wonder if they could raise the interest rates on your credit cards.

00:58:13.040 Damn right they will.

00:58:15.200 You need to get those credit cards paid off, and the best way to do it is to roll it into

00:58:22.020 your mortgage.

00:58:22.920 You could save hundreds, if not $1,000 a month just by lowering your interest rates and not

00:58:29.760 resetting your mortgage.

00:58:31.960 Call American Financing.

00:58:33.140 They'll help you.

00:58:33.640 It's a family-owned business.

00:58:34.780 They work for you, not the banks.

00:58:37.020 It's American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.

00:58:44.440 10 Seconds, Station ID.

00:59:00.800 Bill O'Reilly is with us now.

00:59:04.780 I want to change topics here to international.

00:59:11.780 First, let's start with Iran because it's the easiest one. 0.99

00:59:16.380 There is a, the ex-intel chief for the U.S. just told the Jerusalem Post that Biden is

00:59:26.600 surrendering to Iran.

00:59:28.080 Have we surrendered to Iran, and are we surrendering to China?

00:59:36.220 It's a complicated situation.

00:59:39.180 So the Biden administration doesn't want to deal with anything in the Middle East at all.

00:59:47.280 Nothing.

00:59:47.760 All right.

00:59:49.000 All right.

00:59:49.260 So they basically say, this is not worth our while because it doesn't advance our green environmental climate change agenda.

00:59:58.220 All right.

00:59:58.360 That's overseas.

00:59:59.660 That's 100% what the Biden administration is interested in.

01:00:04.600 All right.

01:00:04.900 So they don't care whether Hamas shoots rockets into Israel.

01:00:09.560 Oh, oh, oh, oh.

01:00:12.200 The Center for American Progress.

01:00:14.140 These leftists, they love Hamas.

01:00:17.560 They love Hamas. 0.97

01:00:19.620 In fact, the difference between the leftists and the Biden administration.

01:00:23.560 Biden administration is...

01:00:24.500 Really?

01:00:24.860 What is it?

01:00:26.000 What is it?

01:00:26.900 What's the difference?

01:00:28.520 I don't think...

01:00:29.200 I don't see people that are...

01:00:30.740 I don't see people that are traditional Democrats running this administration and its policy. 0.99

01:00:35.780 No Democrat that I know that is a neighbor agrees with any of this crap. 0.99

01:00:41.600 Any of it. 0.99

01:00:42.640 But they don't care about it, Dex.

01:00:46.000 All right?

01:00:46.660 They don't care that it happens.

01:00:48.800 It's not that they're trying to stop it or trying to negotiate anything.

01:00:54.500 They don't care.

01:00:56.100 It doesn't advance their green agenda and socialism agenda here in the USA.

01:01:01.780 So if Iran wants to have a phony nuke deal, all right, they'll sign a phony nucleo. 0.80

01:01:07.260 If Iran wants to arm Hamas, the Biden administration is not going to do anything about that. 0.75

01:01:12.540 They don't care.

01:01:13.320 They don't want to do it.

01:01:14.860 All right?

01:01:15.180 They don't want to be involved in it.

01:01:17.860 And then...

01:01:18.260 If they only care about their green new agenda, then...

01:01:23.860 Right.

01:01:24.200 Why are they okaying the Russian pipeline?

01:01:27.720 I mean, it's a really dangerous thing.

01:01:30.920 They made a deal with the EU.

01:01:34.300 All right?

01:01:34.720 So we'll let you have all the natural gas from Putin in return for more cooperation on a number of fronts.

01:01:44.860 It was a deal.

01:01:47.340 Again, do they care about Putin?

01:01:50.440 Does Biden care about Putin?

01:01:51.780 No.

01:01:52.460 He doesn't care.

01:01:53.940 You have to understand that.

01:01:55.900 In the past, most presidents did look out for the welfare of America.

01:02:02.100 And America was tied in morally with the freedom and the protection of Israel.

01:02:09.180 That's gone.

01:02:10.220 With the Biden administration, they couldn't care less about it.

01:02:15.140 And then when you go into China, they're afraid of China.

01:02:18.880 Biden's afraid of them because they're way more aggressive than the Biden administration will ever be.

01:02:25.700 So he doesn't even want to deal with it.

01:02:29.860 So this is what you're seeing.

01:02:31.340 You're seeing where, as Barack Obama put forth that, we are one of many.

01:02:37.520 We are not a superpower.

01:02:39.320 We are not anything special.

01:02:41.180 That was Obama's foreign policy, right?

01:02:43.820 Am I correct?

01:02:45.120 Yes.

01:02:46.580 Now, Biden's foreign policy is even more extreme.

01:02:50.140 It's we don't want to get involved with anything over there because our agenda is to turn the economy socialist and to hype up the Green New Deal stuff.

01:03:03.580 That's everything comes back to those two things.

01:03:07.280 And if it's not connected to those two things, the Biden administration doesn't want to hear about it.

01:03:12.620 That may be absolutely on the money, which is getting to be worth less and less as the seconds tick by.

01:03:23.660 More with Bill O'Reilly here in just a second.

01:03:26.180 I want to go to China and the Wuhan virus.

01:03:29.700 Can we say that now?

01:03:31.040 Facebook says, yeah, now it's OK to say.

01:03:34.100 More in a minute.

01:03:37.840 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:03:40.800 Oh, my goodness.

01:03:41.960 Oh, my goodness.

01:03:44.480 So Mike Lindell, his my pillow.

01:03:48.300 I would have never ordered it on TV.

01:03:49.940 You know, I would have never ordered it off of TV.

01:03:53.200 And Mike Lindell wanted to do commercials.

01:03:56.420 And.

01:03:58.460 As I said, I don't do commercials for things I don't believe in.

01:04:01.980 And he was coming in and, you know, I don't like confrontation, believe it or not.

01:04:05.440 And I was like, how am I going to say that I just don't like his pillow?

01:04:09.680 And he came in, shook my hand.

01:04:11.280 And he's very perceptive.

01:04:12.440 And I said, hey, Mike.

01:04:14.340 He said, what do you think of the pillow?

01:04:15.320 And I said, well, he said, you don't like it.

01:04:17.820 And I'm like, OK, caught me.

01:04:19.660 No, I don't.

01:04:20.680 He said, you have the wrong size.

01:04:22.960 And I said, what?

01:04:24.340 And he said, which one do you have?

01:04:26.420 And I said, the shorter one, you know, the standard size.

01:04:28.800 And he said, you need the king size.

01:04:30.500 And so I got a king size.

01:04:32.640 And I have to tell you, he was right.

01:04:35.480 He was right.

01:04:36.700 They are great pillows.

01:05:01.460 We're with Bill O'Reilly.

01:05:11.180 It's Friday.

01:05:12.380 Let me just quote a member of the State Department team whose investigation into the origins of

01:05:19.240 coronavirus has been halted this week by the Biden administration, claimed yesterday it

01:05:26.300 was sort of ridiculous to believe the virus passed naturally from animals to humans.

01:05:32.460 We were finding that despite the claims of our scientific community, including the National

01:05:37.600 Institute of Health and Anthony Fauci, that there was almost no evidence that supported

01:05:43.000 a natural zoonotic evolution or source of COVID-19.

01:05:48.580 Bill, why did the State Department's review on this?

01:05:54.500 Why was it canceled by Joe Biden and say, no, we're going to get really serious about

01:06:00.500 it.

01:06:00.700 We're moving it over to Intel.

01:06:03.860 Because they don't want to have a problem with China, just like we were talking about

01:06:07.780 five minutes ago.

01:06:09.560 So everybody in the scientific world knows there are only two ways that COVID came to be.

01:06:19.220 The first way is by infection from eating a bat or something else.

01:06:25.920 Or a bat having a disease that would go to another animal and then jump into humans. 0.94

01:06:32.780 Whatever it may be.

01:06:34.860 So in China, they have some very strange culinary choices.

01:06:40.820 Right?

01:06:41.960 Very strange.

01:06:43.520 Particularly in the countryside.

01:06:44.600 So that's number one.

01:06:47.440 So you get infected by eating an infected mammal or animal.

01:06:51.940 And then you spread it.

01:06:53.960 The second thing is that the Chinese virologists isolated a virus.

01:07:03.180 And they were studying it in Wuhan in their big lab.

01:07:06.900 And somehow, a few of the personnel in the lab got infected with the virus, kind of like

01:07:14.880 a horror movie.

01:07:15.920 Right?

01:07:16.780 Now, we know that in November 19th, that early, there were people taken out of that lab and

01:07:24.800 put into hospitals.

01:07:25.960 We don't know why or how, because China doesn't put that stuff out.

01:07:29.600 So what I believe, based upon all the evidence that I've seen, is that this virus did come

01:07:39.340 about because of transferal of bacteria from animals, mammals to humans.

01:07:45.900 The Chinese knew about it, saw it, tried to study it, and it got out of control in the

01:07:53.700 lab.

01:07:54.380 That's what I think happened.

01:07:55.720 Uh, I think that's a, I think that's a Walt Disney version of what I think happened.

01:08:03.660 Um, you got it on tape, Matt.

01:08:06.580 You got it on tape, Matt.

01:08:07.640 Pardon me?

01:08:08.700 I said, you have all of this on tape.

01:08:11.100 Yeah, I know.

01:08:12.040 To be absolutely correct.

01:08:14.240 I know, I know.

01:08:15.800 I will, I will.

01:08:17.380 I'll play it with you there, so you can laugh and point at yourself when I'm right.

01:08:21.920 Um, but, uh, uh, the, the, the State Department, uh, has gone on to say an official in the

01:08:29.480 State Department said, um, that, uh, former State Department official Chris Ford, um, was

01:08:37.880 quote, disgraceful.

01:08:39.700 His behavior towards the investigation was disgraceful.

01:08:43.640 He seemed disinterested.

01:08:44.940 He even said, if we came to it, how did we know where it came out of?

01:08:49.840 What lab?

01:08:50.500 Very rarely in my life in government have I ever encountered someone who was more, uh,

01:08:55.740 negative, less of a bureaucrat and just a negocrat than this individual.

01:09:01.980 So why did they move it then to the, the, uh, intelligence community and say intelligence,

01:09:09.480 they're much better at finding these things.

01:09:11.980 Why did he move it there?

01:09:13.260 See if we come up with the same answer.

01:09:15.480 In fact, you know why, because they can classify everything then and bury it for 50 years.

01:09:21.440 Yep, exactly right.

01:09:23.120 Exactly right.

01:09:24.440 So if, if we found it, let's say we live in a sane world, which we don't, I know that.

01:09:30.240 But if we found that, um, China made a mistake, that's one scenario.

01:09:37.120 If we found out that they, this lab is run by the guy who used to be the head of the

01:09:43.440 communist party, bioweapons research.

01:09:45.980 So if we found that they were engineering this, uh, and it escaped, but they were engineering

01:09:54.340 it for specific reasons that, you know, his paper even says that we need to find a Corona

01:10:00.660 virus that can wipe out the Western world and leave the East pretty much alone.

01:10:05.340 We find that out after all these lies, all these lives and all the money that has, uh, gone to

01:10:14.140 hell in a handbasket because of this, what should the American response be in a sane world?

01:10:21.040 But you'll never find it out.

01:10:23.820 It'll never be put that way because no one wants a war with China.

01:10:30.720 And if China did indeed weaponize this to attack the West, which I don't believe they did because

01:10:38.100 it's too, I don't believe they intention.

01:10:39.760 I don't believe they intentionally released it.

01:10:42.240 I think that was a mistake, but I do believe they were bioengineering a weapon.

01:10:46.420 But you know what the bigger, yeah, that's possible because a lot of countries do that,

01:10:52.280 including the USA, but you know what the bigger story is here.

01:10:56.160 And you mentioned it in the lead that the social media companies wouldn't let you even speak

01:11:02.940 about these things.

01:11:04.440 They would correct.

01:11:05.420 And that's the bigger story for we, the American people is that now we're living in an age where

01:11:13.900 again, the truth doesn't mean anything and can be blacked out by these giant corporations.

01:11:24.100 And these giant corporations are having to come back over and over again and say, we were wrong.

01:11:29.640 We were wrong.

01:11:30.300 We were wrong.

01:11:30.880 We're reversing our policy on this.

01:11:32.380 It shows that they are nothing but a political organ and they have smeared, besmirched.

01:11:40.160 They have taken our business and throttled it down.

01:11:45.400 They have cost us hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars in the last year because

01:11:51.940 of what they've claimed where now they're saying, oh yeah, that was a mistake.

01:11:57.180 Well, where do I go to get my reputation back?

01:11:59.380 Where do I go to get my money that you lost, the business that I lost?

01:12:04.760 Where do I go back to get that?

01:12:06.920 I don't think sorry is enough.

01:12:09.540 But they don't care.

01:12:10.680 It's almost like we were talking about the Biden administration doesn't really care what

01:12:14.540 happens in the Middle East.

01:12:15.780 They'll sign anything and they'll just say, oh, we're trying to get peace.

01:12:20.480 The social media companies, they are in business to advance progressive thought.

01:12:28.960 That's it.

01:12:30.280 That's what it's about.

01:12:32.020 That's why they're in business.

01:12:33.340 They have their billions and billions of dollars already.

01:12:37.860 They couldn't spend it.

01:12:39.940 No matter how much money they spent every day, they couldn't spend it.

01:12:42.980 So now it's about we are going to advance this progressive left agenda.

01:12:49.320 And so we're going to make it very difficult for anyone who opposes that to have any kind

01:12:55.200 of a forum.

01:12:55.820 I mean, look, Trump shouldn't be banned from Twitter or anything else.

01:13:00.160 Trump was right about the virus.

01:13:02.220 Was he not?

01:13:03.500 Yes, he was.

01:13:04.240 I was.

01:13:05.720 Well, why are you banning him now?

01:13:07.580 Because he believes the election wasn't honest.

01:13:09.780 He's entitled to that belief.

01:13:12.180 He's entitled to hold that belief.

01:13:15.020 So let me go here.

01:13:17.460 Let me go here.

01:13:18.660 Jake Tapper has just issued a statement that he said, I haven't changed my mind as a journalist.

01:13:27.320 I just think it's OK to have an opinion.

01:13:30.340 I see the role I played in 2015 to now is more of a manifestation of the deviation of the

01:13:36.820 Republican Party and Donald Trump from normal political behavior behavior than I do the

01:13:42.960 deviation of me from normal broadcasting.

01:13:46.920 He said, I see my role is not being particularly opinionated, except for things about which I

01:13:54.280 think it's fine to have an opinion, such as truth and facts and just basic dignity.

01:14:01.120 I told you about this a month ago.

01:14:04.240 No, I know you did.

01:14:05.140 I know you did.

01:14:05.760 I told you about him.

01:14:06.660 You stuck up for him.

01:14:08.540 I did.

01:14:09.400 He is the worst.

01:14:10.660 And you know what makes me happy, Beck? 1.00

01:14:13.140 I'm kicking his butt in the book column. 0.97

01:14:16.480 I'm selling 10 books for every one he sells. 0.98

01:14:20.240 That makes me happy. 0.97

01:14:22.260 This is a corrupt man. 1.00

01:14:24.100 This is a vicious man. 1.00

01:14:27.040 All right.

01:14:27.320 CNN has lost 70 percent of its entire audience since January.

01:14:33.880 I have to tell you, it makes me happy.

01:14:37.720 Yeah.

01:14:37.960 Even when they hadn't lost 70 percent of their audience, the blaze had many nights where we

01:14:45.440 were beating them.

01:14:47.100 And I'll bet you, Bill, that your your numbers online are beating him today.

01:14:51.860 I bet you're not only beating him in books, but online numbers.

01:14:55.420 You know, because nobody is watching.

01:14:57.880 Nobody is watching the truth.

01:14:59.340 You tell the truth as you see it.

01:15:01.580 I tell the truth as I see it.

01:15:03.740 The difference is we don't have corporations telling us what to say.

01:15:08.200 That's Papper's game.

01:15:10.020 That's his game back.

01:15:11.880 He's in that Washington group and he does what he's blank and told.

01:15:17.360 All right.

01:15:18.440 And I think these people actually believe it.

01:15:21.300 Do you think that they have to do what they're told?

01:15:23.360 I think they believe it.

01:15:24.480 But he wants to believe it.

01:15:27.040 He wants to believe it.

01:15:29.280 OK, if you if you lay it out, that socialism is going to destroy the fabric of the greatest

01:15:35.320 nation ever.

01:15:36.980 He's going to reject that.

01:15:38.720 Correct.

01:15:39.240 Because he wants to reject it.

01:15:41.040 Correct.

01:15:41.500 Because he's making money rejecting it.

01:15:44.080 Well, I will. 0.74

01:15:45.020 Crazy.

01:15:46.060 I will tell you that this is why I don't believe when they said, well, we didn't take the Wuhan

01:15:50.120 virus thing seriously because Donald Trump said it.

01:15:53.860 I don't care if the devil himself said it.

01:15:56.920 Check the facts.

01:15:59.220 Check the facts.

01:16:00.920 They don't want to do that anymore.

01:16:02.740 They check the facts that agree with them.

01:16:05.740 Right.

01:16:05.980 I know you're up against the clock and I need a minute before we leave.

01:16:09.180 If you look at Trump's Trump's policies on the economy, on foreign affairs, on basically

01:16:17.000 looking out for the working people in America, just the policies take him out of it.

01:16:23.740 And you compare those policies to Biden.

01:16:27.320 That's like comparing Millard Fillmore to Abraham Lincoln.

01:16:31.520 Right.

01:16:32.080 It's insane.

01:16:33.920 Now, I need a minute back.

01:16:35.180 Ready?

01:16:35.780 Go ahead.

01:16:36.300 Yeah.

01:16:36.440 I want to thank you.

01:16:37.720 I want to thank you this coming Sunday, Killing the Mob, number one on the New York Times

01:16:43.360 list, bestselling nonfiction book in the world.

01:16:47.300 All right.

01:16:47.620 The numbers are staggering.

01:16:49.580 I've been blackballed from TV.

01:16:52.380 OK.

01:16:52.620 The reason that this is going so well is because of you and some other radio people who are

01:17:00.080 not in this cancel culture, don't believe in it, know it's a fascistic thing.

01:17:05.060 And I want all your listeners to know that guys like me with a good product, Killing the 0.93

01:17:11.120 Mob is a damn good book. 0.95

01:17:13.580 Right. 0.99

01:17:14.040 We would be silenced without guys like you.

01:17:18.780 And I want to thank you for that.

01:17:20.940 Thank you very much.

01:17:21.480 I appreciate that, Bill.

01:17:23.020 It is.

01:17:23.460 I have the greatest audience I think ever assembled on radio.

01:17:26.620 I truly mean that they are open minded.

01:17:30.500 They are really smart.

01:17:32.460 They like to read and know the facts and they're good and decent people.

01:17:37.020 Don't thank me.

01:17:37.640 It's it's the people who bought your book.

01:17:39.720 Thank you very much, Bill.

01:17:40.580 I appreciate it.

01:17:41.560 It's not kind of you.

01:19:01.420 It's G-E-N-U-C-E-L.com. 1.00

01:19:06.300 There's been so much talk about the lab escape theory from the coronavirus situation in China.

01:19:20.860 And it's being treated like there's all this new information that has come to light.

01:19:24.400 And there has been more developing information over the years.

01:19:27.760 Let me take you back a little bit.

01:19:28.780 This is November 18th, 2019.

01:19:30.800 The Wuhan Institute of Virology, just a few miles away from the wet market we've heard so much about, posted a job opening.

01:19:38.200 We're taking bats as the research object.

01:19:40.660 I will answer the molecular mechanism that can coexist with Ebola and SARS-associated coronavirus for a long time without disease and its relationship with flight and longevity.

01:19:50.380 They were doing this result, these sort of research projects, at the time, in November, when people went to the hospital with strained coronavirus areas.

01:20:02.060 A Chinese researcher, who was formerly a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard, posted a study.

01:20:08.740 Now, he was working at a university controlled by the Chinese government.

01:20:14.080 This is what he said.

01:20:15.700 We screened the area and the seafood market and identified two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus.

01:20:23.780 Within 280 meters from the market, there was the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention and, of course, the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

01:20:34.640 He goes on to explain that, in his estimation, it probably came from the lab.

01:20:42.440 This is not something he wrote today.

01:20:46.880 This is something he wrote back in February of 2020.

01:20:51.940 Now, you could say, well, look, he eventually went on to withdraw that commentary and said,

01:21:01.220 I mean, that's probably not from the lab.

01:21:03.780 Whether he's doing that with the cold metal of a firearm pressed to the back of his head by the Chinese government is yours to figure out.

01:21:12.860 But, you know, so we don't know COVID-19 came from a lab.

01:21:16.220 But we do know that the bats that carry it aren't from the area.

01:21:19.660 They're from hundreds of miles away.

01:21:21.500 They also were not sold in the market that has been talked about.

01:21:24.440 They were in research labs right down the street, however, being used to study rare coronaviruses.

01:21:30.880 And their own researchers thought that COVID-19 came from the lab.

01:21:35.540 The guy collecting the samples had been peed on and splashed with the blood of those bats.

01:21:41.680 A situation he himself called highly risky.

01:21:45.580 This is not going back to, well, bat soup theory.

01:21:49.180 Chinese people shouldn't eat bats.

01:21:50.460 They shouldn't eat bats for other reasons than coronavirus. 0.92

01:21:54.520 I don't care if bats, eating bats cured coronavirus.

01:21:57.840 They still shouldn't do it.

01:21:58.820 But this is a legitimate theory.

01:22:00.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:02.740 Hi, Hillary. 1.00

01:22:03.320 That's your four-minute buzz.

01:22:04.820 Have a great one more, Hillary. 0.94

01:22:05.760 Thank you, Hillary.

01:22:05.780 You too.

01:22:07.040 All right.

01:22:07.560 Can I get a word in edgewise for a second?

01:22:09.620 Yes, please.

01:22:10.440 Just talk.

01:22:11.420 I mean, people are dying to hear me talk about real estate agents I trust.

01:22:14.960 They are.

01:22:15.500 They've been saying it all day.

01:22:16.560 They've been demanding it.

01:22:17.860 When is he going to talk about real estate agents I trust?

01:22:21.000 It's trending on Twitter right now, Glenn.

01:22:23.200 Right.

01:22:23.680 The time is right now.

01:22:45.100 I have a personal message, a couple of really great guests, but a personal message next.

01:22:57.340 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:26.160 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:35.620 Hello, America.

01:23:37.220 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:39.200 It's Memorial Day weekend.

01:23:41.700 A personal message in 60 seconds.

01:23:48.300 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:50.020 First, let me tell you about Hustler.

01:23:54.360 Hustler lawnmowers.

01:23:55.280 They're the best.

01:23:56.740 There's no other lawnmower on the market that is built like that, like a Hustler.

01:24:01.360 And I can tell you that with confidence.

01:24:03.460 These are the people that have made industrial lawnmowers forever.

01:24:06.700 You know, people who are cutting the sides of the highway.

01:24:10.060 That's a Hustler mower.

01:24:11.260 They did the zero-turn lawnmower.

01:24:14.060 They were the first ones to invent it, and then they perfected it.

01:24:17.280 They started in like the 1960s with a zero-turn lawnmower.

01:24:20.540 They've been around for years before that.

01:24:22.400 And then they came up with a zero-turn lawnmower, and they made things for, you know, stadiums, football fields, highway departments, everything else.

01:24:29.900 They started making them for you, for your lawn, and it will cut the time of cutting your lawn in half.

01:24:37.140 It's a Hustler.

01:24:38.320 Hustler Turf, built to last.

01:24:40.980 And I don't want you to take my word for it.

01:24:42.500 I want you to A-B compare.

01:24:44.440 I want you to go out and test drive the best one you can find, and then go to a Hustler dealer near you.

01:24:49.980 HustlerTurf.com.

01:24:51.980 HustlerTurf.com.

01:24:59.900 It is Memorial Day weekend, and I want to send a personal message to one listener.

01:25:17.180 I don't even know if she's a listener of mine anymore.

01:25:19.860 She is the mother of Sergeant Patrick Tanish.

01:25:32.220 He was an Eagle troop, and he died in Baghdad 211-04.

01:25:40.800 I met her, I think, at a book signing.

01:25:43.960 I can't remember where we were.

01:25:48.460 I remember meeting her.

01:25:51.100 I'm sad to say I don't remember her name, but I remember what she told me vividly.

01:26:00.440 She came up to me, and she told me the story of her son, Patrick.

01:26:08.080 Patrick was a troubled kid.

01:26:11.860 He was a good kid, but ran into trouble, got hooked on to heroin.

01:26:22.400 Heroin, when it gets a hold of you, it just doesn't let go.

01:26:25.660 And he worked so hard with his dad to get off, and it took him a while, and he did, and he changed his life.

01:26:36.640 And then he went to Iraq.

01:26:40.580 He joined the military and went to Iraq.

01:26:42.600 He felt like there was a reason he survived.

01:26:46.020 Well, she told me the reason he survived was because of the people he saved in Iraq.

01:26:59.780 And she told me this story with tears in her eyes, and she gave me this bracelet.

01:27:10.760 It's just a standard black, you know, soldier bracelet.

01:27:15.280 I remember bracelets like these when I was growing up.

01:27:18.000 They were for prisoners of war in Vietnam.

01:27:20.780 And she just asked me, could you, would you just wear this for the day for my son?

01:27:29.940 I probably wore this every day for maybe 10 years.

01:27:36.860 And I took it out of my little box that I have, you know, my keys and watch and things in this morning, and I put it on.

01:27:46.860 And if anyone in the Tannish family this weekend is mourning the loss of Patrick Tannish, I hope his mother knows that I am doing the same this weekend, and I am grateful that he lived.

01:28:07.880 And I feel as though he has been with me for many, many years.

01:28:16.860 I want to introduce you to somebody that I just think is one of the greatest guys I've ever met.

01:28:23.060 And that's hard to say, because I've met so many really incredible people.

01:28:29.400 Rishi Sharma, he is a guy that's been on my program a few times.

01:28:35.500 And he started out just wanting to talk to World War II veterans.

01:28:42.460 I'm going to let him tell the story quickly.

01:28:44.300 Risha, how are you?

01:28:45.960 Rishi.

01:28:46.280 Great.

01:28:46.860 How are you?

01:28:48.080 Yes, sir.

01:28:48.640 Can you hear me?

01:28:49.340 I can.

01:28:50.460 I'm so glad to have you on the program again.

01:28:53.340 Can you just quickly recap how you started doing this, how old you were, and what you're doing?

01:29:03.020 Absolutely.

01:29:04.420 I really appreciate this opportunity to talk about the World War II heroes.

01:29:09.220 But my name is Rishi Sharma, and I started interviewing World War II veterans when I was in high school.

01:29:16.780 I've always been interested in the war.

01:29:18.400 And one day I decided to ride my bike basically to the local retirement home, and I wanted to meet the men firsthand who I had been reading about and seeing TV shows about.

01:29:29.160 And it was an amazing experience just how open they were and the fact that I got to actually look in the eyes of someone who went through hell so that someone like me could be alive.

01:29:41.660 And after meeting a number of these veterans at the retirement home, I really felt a burden that I owed these men not just my life but to preserve what they fought for so that future generations won't go to war and that we'll always remember what the World War II veterans have given us.

01:30:00.820 And so when I graduated, I was very blessed to get a bunch of news coverage, and I had a fundraiser, and I raised funding to go out and interview as many World War II combat veterans as possible myself.

01:30:17.040 And now it's four years later, 48 states, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and just over 1,100 interviews now on camera.

01:30:26.520 Jeez.

01:30:27.000 Who has contacted you, Rishi, for, I mean, has the Smithsonian or National Archives, anyone contacted you about preserving these yet?

01:30:39.100 Absolutely not.

01:30:40.560 You wouldn't believe the number of people I've, you wouldn't believe the number of organizations I've reached out to who just, I guess they aren't interested, maybe because it doesn't fit their narrative.

01:30:51.680 Okay, okay, okay.

01:30:52.560 May I, may I, may I, as a representative of Mercury One, put you in touch?

01:31:00.180 We would love to preserve the record of these, of these stories.

01:31:06.360 I, this is, I think you do one of the most important things.

01:31:10.200 History will remember your name.

01:31:12.480 It might not be in your lifetime, but it, they will remember you because of what you're doing.

01:31:18.500 You're, this is vitally important.

01:31:22.260 Yeah, I appreciate that.

01:31:24.020 I mean, I'm not all for that.

01:31:25.320 As long as people remember what the World War II veterans went through.

01:31:29.380 Right, right, right.

01:31:29.760 I mean, when I was in high school, you know, as a member of the younger generation, I'm 22 now, I can honestly tell you that they don't teach World War II in school anymore.

01:31:39.980 And what they do cover is how bad, quote, the bad U.S. was for dropping the atomic bombs.

01:31:46.840 I mean, people are being brainwashed nowadays.

01:31:49.240 The younger generation are being brainwashed to hate our country, to hate our veterans, to hate our way of life.

01:31:55.580 And it's not right.

01:31:57.180 And I don't want to see that happen any further.

01:32:00.080 That's why recording these stories of what these veterans actually went through, what they witnessed, the atrocities they came across, I mean, whoever has that footage is going to be able to control the narrative.

01:32:12.560 I know, I know, I know.

01:32:15.200 I tell you, Rishi, you know, I just looked at the brand new AP standards for history.

01:32:20.800 This is a, these are AP classes.

01:32:23.040 This is not your regular class.

01:32:24.580 This is the, I'm really smart, I want to take an AP history class, so it counts towards college.

01:32:30.500 World War II, there is no mention of Hitler, the Holocaust, the Germans, the English, the, it picks up the story.

01:32:42.400 There's more to it than that.

01:32:43.380 I can't remember all of it.

01:32:44.480 It picks up at the bombing, not of Pearl Harbor, but of Hiroshima.

01:32:49.900 That's it.

01:32:50.600 And the AP requirement is that you understand that the United States bombed Japan with a nuclear weapon and, quote, that made the world question the motives of the United States of America.

01:33:10.840 Holy cow. 0.89

01:33:12.240 It's absolutely, I mean, it's revisionist history, and it's the lies, because what people fail to realize is that we gave Japan many opportunities to surrender.

01:33:25.260 We had been completely surrounded by naval blockades.

01:33:28.220 They had no food coming in or out.

01:33:30.360 They refused.

01:33:31.080 We dropped over 5 million pamphlets.

01:33:34.020 We, meaning the United States and our allies, dropped 5 million pamphlets over the target cities, telling the civilians to evacuate.

01:33:42.160 And after the first bomb, they didn't surrender.

01:33:44.700 I mean, it took two atomic bombs to even make them consider surrendering.

01:33:48.900 And there's a well-known story that when the emperor, Hirohito, actually came on the radio across Tokyo, the citizens didn't believe him.

01:33:59.680 You know, they thought it was some kind of allied propaganda.

01:34:02.460 Because they had trained their citizens to believe that that's what was going to happen.

01:34:09.480 The propaganda in Japan about the United States, they believed we would eat them, practically. 0.57

01:34:17.460 I mean, they thought we were monsters because of the propaganda.

01:34:23.120 Absolutely.

01:34:23.680 I mean, there was a well-known incident on the island of Saipan where the Japanese had a garrison.

01:34:31.360 There was a civilian population there as well.

01:34:34.100 And when the Americans landed, the Japanese forced the civilians to a cliff, women and babies, 0.99

01:34:41.000 and had told them stories that the Marines and the Army infantry would, you know, hurt them and do cruel things.

01:34:47.540 And these babies were thrown off the cliffs, and the women jumped after them, and the Japanese, you know, obviously soldiers went themselves.

01:34:56.280 But we had translators, you know, up on the cliffs trying to tell these civilians to come and that they would be safe.

01:35:02.440 And, I mean, it's so dangerous, this type of rhetoric that the United States and the Allies were in the wrong.

01:35:09.840 I run this YouTube channel called Legends of World War II, and some of that content of the veterans talking about their experiences, it's been censored by YouTube.

01:35:21.340 But what's also shocking is how many uninformed people there are.

01:35:26.440 I get comments all the time of people thinking that Pearl Harbor was in retribution for us bombing Japan.

01:35:36.380 They don't realize it was the other way around.

01:35:39.840 Oh, my gosh.

01:35:43.780 Rishi, hang on.

01:35:44.680 I've got to take a one-minute break, and then I want to come back, talk about how you do this, how you are now asking others to do it, and send you their footage.

01:35:53.380 And I want to hear about the best stories that you have heard, the best people that you have met.

01:35:59.520 Because, I mean, meeting them from the greatest generation of America, I would imagine this is going to be hard for you to decide.

01:36:07.400 But tell me about the most interesting and best encounter you have had with some of these vets.

01:36:14.520 Back in 60 seconds.

01:36:16.060 One of the things that gives me great pleasure in life is getting to come and talk about the products that I actually believe in.

01:36:24.720 Well, I believe in Rectech.

01:36:26.220 I have a Rectech.

01:36:27.300 I use my Rectech.

01:36:28.640 I love my Rectech.

01:36:30.440 I'm going to miss my Rectech because I don't have the same up at the ranch, and everything I do have is in a barn packed up because it's a long story.

01:36:44.040 So I'm not going to have my Rectech for about three weeks, and I don't like that at all because Rectech, it's going to be us for over a week.

01:36:52.980 It's just me and the boys, and so I am up there.

01:36:56.560 There's not a single woman around.

01:36:58.100 We are going to have steak for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, and maybe even a late-night snack.

01:37:07.200 And it just grills them to perfection.

01:37:10.140 The ribs will be smoked, and they fall off the bone.

01:37:13.000 It's the best.

01:37:14.980 It's the best, and you don't have to be good at it because all of the high-tech gadgetry in it, it takes care of it for itself.

01:37:21.840 It's Rectech, R-E-C-T-E-Q, R-E-C-T-E-Q, Rectech with a Q at the end, Rectech.com, Rectech.com.

01:37:31.860 10 seconds, station ID.

01:37:32.940 So we are with Rishi Sharma, who I met, I don't know, about three years ago, and he is one of my favorite people I have ever interviewed.

01:37:52.280 I think he was probably about 20 when we first met, and I just think he is – I mean, you're a hero of mine, Rishi, and I mean that sincerely.

01:38:02.340 Oh, no.

01:38:02.460 So tell me – you say, oh, no, like – because I don't even know if you like me or, you know, anything else.

01:38:08.680 You might be like, oh, no, Glenn Beck just said he's – I'm a hero of his.

01:38:12.060 Oh, no, no, no.

01:38:12.520 I'm sorry.

01:38:14.520 No, no.

01:38:15.200 No, no.

01:38:15.640 I just meant, you know, I feel very strongly that the word hero is really only reserved for those, you know, who put their lives on the line.

01:38:22.460 I mean, the fact is, if I had all the money in the world, I would still be doing what I'm doing.

01:38:26.640 I'm so blessed that I get to hang out and talk to the men who saved the world.

01:38:31.520 Good for you.

01:38:32.960 All right.

01:38:33.720 You mentioned a minute ago that your videos are being banned or demonetized on YouTube.

01:38:40.960 Why is that?

01:38:43.720 You know, I wish I knew the answer, sir.

01:38:46.100 Oh, my gosh.

01:38:47.720 Basically, you know, I raised all that funding, and I've been doing these oral histories of the World War II veterans.

01:38:54.980 And I give them copies of the interviews, but I would also put it on YouTube.

01:38:59.960 Back in December of 2020, the channel – I wasn't trying to be a YouTuber or anything.

01:39:04.660 It was just a storage place for the videos.

01:39:07.680 But back in 2020, December, some of the little vignettes I was making, you know, 10-minute clips taken out of some of the interviews, some of them started going viral.

01:39:17.140 I mean, getting millions of views, and I guess the way it works is the YouTube algorithm picks it up, and they'll show it on many people's homepage.

01:39:26.520 Yes.

01:39:26.700 And so that was happening to some of the videos, causing a huge surge in traffic to the channel.

01:39:32.500 And so I go from about 2,000 subscribers to about 25,000 in just maybe a week, and it's about 2,000 every day, and then it stops, and it craters down to maybe 100.

01:39:48.620 And the analytics just don't make sense.

01:39:52.820 Yes, they do from the YouTube side.

01:39:56.460 If you know exactly what YouTube is doing, it makes perfect sense.

01:39:59.500 They throttled you.

01:40:00.380 Absolutely.

01:40:03.000 I've looked it up.

01:40:04.320 I've reached out to other people who deal with World War II on YouTube.

01:40:08.940 They face the same exact thing because, I guess, the algorithm and the people behind it, YouTube, they believe anything to do with World War II is promoting Nazis and Hitler, and they don't take the time to decipher.

01:40:23.840 Oh, my gosh.

01:40:25.160 It's ridiculous because, you know, there's no politics in these videos. 0.93

01:40:29.320 It's facts. 0.79

01:40:30.140 It's the veterans saying what they went through and what they saw.

01:40:34.160 And, you know, without the monetization, I can't keep, you know, affording to stay on the road.

01:40:38.360 And I just find it incredible that they find themselves to be the superior power that can censor whose voices can be heard and whose cannot.

01:40:48.440 I mean, these makeup tutorials, they get a billion views.

01:40:52.060 But the men who fought for our freedom, who went through hell, I mean, why can't we give them the same attention?

01:40:57.680 Tell me the most interesting and best out of all that you've done, hard to choose, I know.

01:41:11.040 What was the thing that really opened your eyes or moved you or had you look at things differently?

01:41:16.580 You mean, you mean veteran interview?

01:41:21.440 In an interview.

01:41:22.320 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:41:23.800 Yeah.

01:41:24.360 You know, that's difficult.

01:41:25.360 There's so many interesting veterans.

01:41:26.800 But I would like to tell you about a man named Chuck Pataglia.

01:41:30.660 I found out through him through a directory of wounded veterans.

01:41:38.880 I was, you know, I literally would spend my days going through name by name, calling these veterans who all belong to the same organization.

01:41:47.060 And I came across his name and I reached out to him and he agreed to do the interview.

01:41:53.440 And he didn't mention anything on the phone, anything unusual.

01:41:57.120 I come to his house.

01:41:58.620 This man is a double amputee.

01:42:03.280 Both of his legs were blown off by a mortar during the fighting for the Hurtgen Forest in October of 1944.

01:42:12.860 He was the friendliest man, I swear to God.

01:42:17.320 He would take the shirt off his back to help you.

01:42:21.500 And I just, it was incredible to sit there and talk to him and hear his story.

01:42:27.260 Basically, he was 18 when Pearl Harbor gets attacked, 19 when he decides to join.

01:42:35.800 After training, he gets shipped overseas.

01:42:39.720 And he joins as a replacement for the 1st Infantry Division.

01:42:43.320 And he was only in combat for about two weeks.

01:42:50.640 And he is sitting behind a hedge one night.

01:42:55.040 And he told me he could hear Germans on the other side.

01:42:58.760 But he was out on guard.

01:43:00.380 And all of a sudden, next thing he knows, he hears the loudest explosion of his life.

01:43:07.600 And when he comes to, he can't move.

01:43:11.160 And he doesn't feel his legs.

01:43:13.280 So a couple of his buddies come and they carry him to the first aid station.

01:43:17.420 It doesn't look like he's going to make it.

01:43:19.300 He had a strong faith.

01:43:20.400 And obviously, he did.

01:43:22.800 He comes back home.

01:43:25.300 This is someone, you know, who had his whole life ahead of him.

01:43:29.080 You know, 19 years old to be dealt such a severe blow.

01:43:33.960 But his family told me something I sincerely believe.

01:43:38.240 That he never complained a single day in his life about his situation.

01:43:42.620 All he wanted to do was get a job and raise a family and be a contributing member to society.

01:43:50.420 He wanted to give back, even though he had already given his legs.

01:43:54.680 And the real interesting thing is, he ended up working for the VA as a prosthetic technician,

01:44:03.900 making prosthetics for other veterans.

01:44:06.900 Here's where I want you to go.

01:44:08.240 I want you to go to the Facebook page, Heroes of the Second War or Heroes of the Second World War dot org.

01:44:32.040 Thank you for joining us.

01:44:34.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:44:36.420 So I was just talking to my wife because I'm going on a road trip with the boys.

01:44:41.040 You know, my son and some of his friends and everything else were making a cross-country trip.

01:44:45.360 And I said, honey, I need my Raycon earplugs.

01:44:49.060 And she said, they're not earplugs.

01:44:51.600 She said, they're wireless earbuds.

01:44:53.480 And I said, don't talk to me like I'm 800 years old.

01:44:55.880 I know exactly what I'm saying.

01:44:57.520 I need them because they have a noise isolating fit.

01:45:00.960 And I can tell you someplace before we even get out of Texas, I'm going to want to put those in.

01:45:07.580 I don't care if they make sound or not.

01:45:10.460 They're earplugs.

01:45:11.960 It's a road trip with teenagers.

01:45:14.920 They're earplugs.

01:45:16.880 She said, we're going to have to get them back from one of the kids.

01:45:20.000 And I'm like, yeah, which one has them?

01:45:22.480 And she said, well, Cheyenne has mine.

01:45:24.600 Rafe has yours.

01:45:25.340 Oh, my.

01:45:27.260 Raycon.

01:46:08.940 This weekend is Memorial Day weekend.

01:46:11.640 I will be with some vets over the weekend marking the day and their service.

01:46:18.280 Rishi Sharma was just with us.

01:46:19.920 He is the guy who started Legends of World War II, Heroes of the Second World War, which is where you can find him on Facebook.

01:46:28.840 He wanted me to ask any veteran of World War II, if you know a veteran, please sign up so they can be interviewed.

01:46:37.420 And you can do that at Heroes of the Second World War that's spelled out Heroes of the Second World War dot org or on Facebook at Heroes of the Second World War.

01:46:50.340 They are fading fast, they are going away, and he is trying to get as many as possible.

01:46:57.880 You know, when I hear people talk about America, I think about people like Rishi, a 19-year-old kid who started this because he was fascinated.

01:47:07.260 And now he knows the truth and he is fighting hard that we don't lose, so we don't lose all of these voices and experiences.

01:47:14.500 When I think of America, I think of a country that makes an awful lot of mistakes, but then does its best to right itself and learn from that mistake.

01:47:25.900 I want to introduce you to Adam Sandoval.

01:47:28.720 His story began because he was disappointed in himself.

01:47:32.780 He said, I never served in the military.

01:47:35.080 I didn't do so for no good reason, just poor choices, temptations, distractions.

01:47:40.500 I had my focus in all the wrong places at a young age, and as I got older, it really started to set in.

01:47:46.160 The sacrifices, and even more so, realizing the sacrifices that other people have made for our country.

01:47:52.400 I wanted to find a way to give back and do what I could.

01:47:57.340 So, he came up with something that he is now very passionate about, and I want him to explain it.

01:48:03.300 Adam, welcome to the program.

01:48:05.860 Oh, happy to be on.

01:48:06.980 Thank you so much for having me.

01:48:08.100 I wish we were together in person.

01:48:11.300 I know you're up in Oklahoma.

01:48:13.860 You are a guy who is dedicating his life now to raising awareness of our veterans, and you have some things going on soon that you're going to talk about.

01:48:26.600 But tell me what you started and what you're doing.

01:48:29.700 Sure.

01:48:31.720 You know, it all started with a campaign.

01:48:34.620 I called it Scootin' America, and I just rode my Harley Davidson to every Harley Davidson dealership across the country and raised awareness and support for veterans.

01:48:44.120 It was an 88,000-mile road trip that took me coast to coast.

01:48:48.600 Yeah, like 16 times coast to coast.

01:48:51.120 88,000 miles.

01:48:53.580 Oh, my gosh.

01:48:55.380 Okay.

01:48:55.860 Yeah, it was a long adventure.

01:48:58.100 It took me about 21 months.

01:49:00.160 I got hit by a car, had to come back from that, you know, damaged my leg pretty bad, but was able to get back on the bike and finish it and ride to every dealership in America and, you know, had Americans ride with me from every corner of this country in honor of our veterans.

01:49:16.520 We raised a ton of money and a ton of support for veterans, and, you know, I just couldn't stop after that.

01:49:21.340 I just kept going.

01:49:22.080 So, we've got all kinds of programs rolling out.

01:49:25.440 So, didn't you, when you would stop at these dealerships, didn't you many times give a bike to a veteran?

01:49:32.240 I have done a lot of veterans' motorcycle giveaways.

01:49:35.420 I think to date, don't quote me on this, but I think I've given up 12 bikes away to veterans at this point, and that's always such an impactful thing because I know what the motorcycle community stands for when it comes to our veterans, and they're very passionate, and they're very embracing.

01:49:52.120 And it can be a channel for a veteran that needs it.

01:49:55.380 So, when I find a veteran and I give them, hand them over the keys to a brand new motorcycle, I know it's not just a motorcycle I'm giving them.

01:50:05.100 It's a channel, you know, for therapy.

01:50:07.580 It's a channel for community, camaraderie.

01:50:11.300 I get messages from them all the time.

01:50:13.220 It changes their lives.

01:50:13.780 Why did this happen to you?

01:50:17.400 I mean, you, veterans are, they're part of a community, and if you're in that community, you can understand it.

01:50:28.520 I don't know if I can fully understand it, but they are just, they walk as one many times, and you weren't part of that community.

01:50:36.920 What was it that changed in your life, or what happened in your life?

01:50:41.300 You know, I think it's maturity.

01:50:43.660 You know, I grew up, I think you said it well in the open there.

01:50:46.340 You know, I just made a lot of bad choices, and I started to regret those choices.

01:50:50.380 But you were, but wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, by society's standards, you didn't necessarily make bad choices.

01:50:57.780 You were quite wealthy, were you not?

01:51:00.460 I mean, you had a big house and a nice car and an extensive art collection, right?

01:51:04.880 I mean, yeah, I was successful in business, there's no doubt, but it was, it was, it was more than that.

01:51:13.260 Even that success came later for me, you know, in my early 30s, late 20s, it started to happen.

01:51:18.640 And in my teens and early 20s, when I would have joined the military, I was just a young punk.

01:51:22.980 And I was just making bad choices and had the wrong priorities in life.

01:51:27.660 And as I matured, I did find some success in business.

01:51:31.620 But then, you know, the reality of my veterans set in.

01:51:34.840 I started, got some very close veteran friends that were active duty, some that didn't make it home,

01:51:41.000 some that did come home and then deal with struggles every day back here in America.

01:51:44.940 Um, and I really started to feel like I didn't do my part.

01:51:50.280 And I, I felt like I should have, should have been part of that.

01:51:53.160 And it just, it just, I don't know, it hit me.

01:51:55.420 And then I wanted to, there's a lot of people, honestly, there's a lot, there's a lot of people,

01:51:58.840 uh, that, uh, will say, I want to do my part, but you sold your house, all of your expensive

01:52:05.120 cars, furniture, your art collection, you let it all go, uh, and you then got on your

01:52:12.860 motorcycle and you went on this, uh, this, uh, trip for the American Legion's legacy scholarship

01:52:18.520 fund, which benefits, you know, the children of fallen veterans who were lost on or before

01:52:23.120 9-11.

01:52:24.500 A lot of people say, I want to get involved.

01:52:26.860 You sold everything and went on the road.

01:52:30.520 Um, I, I did, man, I lived off of a back, it ended up being a total of five years.

01:52:35.940 Uh, I was homeless.

01:52:36.860 I lived off the back of a motorcycle and, uh, it was, it was an incredible learning experience

01:52:42.720 for me.

01:52:43.240 Um, I, I gained so much knowledge and, and really, and I think you're right.

01:52:49.140 I don't think either of us can understand what these veterans go through, but I've spent

01:52:52.900 a lot of nights next to campfires and a lot of miles on the road, uh, talking to veterans

01:52:57.360 and, and helping, uh, whatever way I possibly could deal with, you know, whatever struggles

01:53:01.900 they may be having or, or, or dealing with.

01:53:03.820 And I mean, it's heavy stuff, man.

01:53:05.640 I mean, it's, it's, it's very heavy stuff.

01:53:07.540 Um, I've heard you say that there were two, uh, events or two meetings that really kind

01:53:13.940 of changed your life.

01:53:15.100 They deeply affected you.

01:53:16.940 One was with a mom and the other was a salute.

01:53:20.180 Can you tell those stories?

01:53:22.920 Sure.

01:53:23.600 Uh, so I was, I was, you know, kind of in the beginning of my campaign, um, you know,

01:53:29.400 this is, this always gets me, gets me going.

01:53:32.140 Uh, you know, the, the, it's tough to deal with a veteran who is, who is, you know, um,

01:53:39.900 trying to understand what they're going through.

01:53:41.440 But when you have a mother come to you and her, her child didn't come home and you're riding

01:53:49.200 to support a program that helps, uh, her grandchildren, her, her child's child, a child that's missing

01:53:55.780 a father.

01:53:56.560 Um, and she comes up to you and, and out of the blue and wraps her arms around you and

01:54:01.720 starts crying and you've never met this woman before.

01:54:05.040 Um, and she starts telling you the stories of what her family is still dealing with today

01:54:09.460 because of the loss.

01:54:12.580 Uh, I mean, if that doesn't change you, I mean, if that doesn't take you back and humble you

01:54:18.360 and make you realize that there's so much more important, I'd have given, I'd have given

01:54:23.140 any one of them cars or any of that art collection in any moment.

01:54:25.740 You know what I mean?

01:54:27.000 To help that lady and change what she was, what she was going through, you know, uh, all 0.99

01:54:31.660 of a sudden, all those worldly possessions just don't mean anything when you, when, when

01:54:35.440 you've got somebody sitting in front of you like that, you know, um, and you were, you

01:54:39.340 were talking about world war two veterans.

01:54:41.280 You know, I had a world war two veteran teach me to salute, you know, that's something I

01:54:44.320 would have learned had I, had I actually served, you know, and that was, that was quite

01:54:48.780 the honor as well.

01:54:49.800 So let me, I don't want to meet that guy.

01:54:55.040 Uh, I'll be there all day, trying on one.

01:54:57.620 Uh, let me, uh, let me ask you two things.

01:54:59.760 You've traveled now, uh, over 80,000 miles around the country on your bike.

01:55:05.040 You didn't have a home.

01:55:06.680 So you were, you were everywhere in this country.

01:55:11.020 Two questions.

01:55:12.300 What did you learn that you didn't know about veterans?

01:55:16.020 And what did you learn about America that you didn't know, or you came to fully understand?

01:55:25.300 Sure.

01:55:26.180 You know, uh, to, to answer the later question, first America, I learned that, um, we're much

01:55:31.840 more united than anybody wants us to believe we are.

01:55:35.960 We are, we are every, you know, I, on that campaign alone, it was, it was 88,000 miles

01:55:40.720 and I went to 702 cities across America that campaign alone.

01:55:46.120 I learned very quickly that we are united and we are aligned and the people that are out

01:55:51.520 there working every day and grinding to keep the society going and to keep us afloat and

01:55:56.340 to keep us, you know, uh, a healthy country.

01:55:59.240 We, we vastly agree on, on almost everything, um, the, the country's not on the big principles.

01:56:07.340 Yeah, absolutely.

01:56:08.660 Yeah.

01:56:09.120 Yeah.

01:56:09.760 You know, um, and that to me was, was really an eye opener because before stepping foot in

01:56:14.900 all these cities and having dinners and breakfasts and, and, and meetings with all these different

01:56:19.900 people in all these different cities, I had no idea we really were as united as we are.

01:56:25.140 Um, and it was an eye opener for me and it got me excited.

01:56:27.720 Uh, it got me amped, you know, because I'm like, man, we, we really are in much better

01:56:32.100 shape than maybe, you know, a lot of people want us to believe.

01:56:35.100 And, uh, I think that's one reason why people in the middle of the country, you know, when

01:56:39.860 I warn about the things that are happening and the things that are coming, they don't necessarily

01:56:44.480 feel that because in their usual daily life, they are talking to their neighbors who are

01:56:51.640 Democrats or Republicans or independents and everybody's getting along.

01:56:55.040 And so they just don't, they, I mean, it's a different world when you're outside of the

01:57:00.060 media or outside of the social networks, when you're actually in America, uh, it feels entirely

01:57:07.000 different.

01:57:08.180 It does.

01:57:09.060 I mean, amazingly different.

01:57:10.640 I, I mean, I get chills just hearing what you just said, cause it's so true. 0.51

01:57:14.260 I mean, it's, the people are good.

01:57:17.240 People are good.

01:57:18.080 People in this country are good.

01:57:19.460 You know, there's a lot of good out there.

01:57:22.180 I've only got about 60 seconds left.

01:57:24.100 Tell me about what you learned about veterans.

01:57:26.720 If you can in 60.

01:57:28.060 Uh, man, I learned that there's a lot more, um, trauma going on with our veterans than what,

01:57:34.940 than what we even know.

01:57:35.780 And there can never be enough awareness and that we need a whole lot more support and

01:57:39.600 help for them than what our government's giving them.

01:57:42.440 Um, and that even though I can preach it to you right here on the show, you'll never know

01:57:47.600 until you get a, with enough of them and see the struggles they're going through.

01:57:51.540 Yeah.

01:57:51.860 They're fighting a very ugly war right here on our own soil.

01:57:55.080 And, uh, I learned that it's important that I do my part.

01:57:57.740 I got coined a statement I'd like to say, and that is, if you did not serve in your military,

01:58:02.100 find time to serve those who did.

01:58:04.220 And that's what I try to do.

01:58:40.080 How much are your credit card?

01:58:41.100 How much, how much, how much interest are you paying to the bank that you shouldn't be?

01:58:46.720 How high are the, how's high is the interest rate on your credit card?

01:58:49.620 How much money would you save going from whatever crazy number it is that you're paying for your credit cards to 2%.

01:58:57.240 How much money would you save?

01:58:59.200 What is your mortgage?

01:59:01.440 I mean, I don't know rich people who burn money.

01:59:04.340 I mean, I do, but they don't, they're not rich, very rich, very long.

01:59:07.560 I don't know people who just like, I don't care what the interest rate is.

01:59:11.680 Uh, I don't know.

01:59:12.660 It's a hassle.

01:59:59.840 The Glenn Beck Program.

02:00:04.460 It's Friday, Memorial Day weekend, and, uh, you know, I wanted to do something at the end of the show that made everybody feel good, you know?

02:00:12.660 And so I booked those two guests, and I think, Stu, I don't know about you, but that made me feel the opposite.

02:00:17.700 Yeah.

02:00:18.140 I now feel like the biggest loser in my life.

02:00:20.500 Completely, uh, just outshined by both of them, and I know that I've done nothing with my life.

02:00:26.980 Right.

02:00:27.300 I mean, I know losers, but I think I'm the biggest of them now, uh, because those guys were amazing. 0.67

02:00:34.020 Uh, so I do want to fulfill my goal today of making you feel better about yourself and better about things. 0.87

02:00:41.240 Yes, we just had two remarkable people on who sold everything to do something good for society or whatever.

02:00:47.320 Um, I want to remind you that at least you are not one of the people interviewed by Ami Horowitz in this clip.

02:00:59.400 We're kind of like the next level BDS, you know?

02:01:03.780 It's like BDS, and then we're like, BDS plus.

02:01:07.060 You know, we're looking to wipe Israel off the map. 1.00

02:01:09.420 Yeah, we want, you know, we're looking to destroy Israel. 0.99

02:01:12.640 We don't want just Gaza. 1.00

02:01:13.540 We want to have all of Israel.

02:01:15.080 No, I've actually been learning about last, in this last school year, about everything that's going on over there,

02:01:20.200 so I like the sound of what you're doing.

02:01:21.940 It sounds like a great thing to do.

02:01:23.200 Yeah, totally against the Israeli genocide.

02:01:25.060 Awesome. 0.96

02:01:25.500 We just want to get rid of Israel, you know, it's for the, it's for the Palestinians. 1.00

02:01:28.480 Stay off drugs.

02:01:30.380 Well, we would love you to check out our website.

02:01:32.180 That would be wonderful.

02:01:33.060 Good luck.

02:01:33.600 Thank you.

02:01:34.420 If you feel like donating to help the cause, to fight back, and that'd be great.

02:01:38.420 For sure, we'll definitely.

02:01:39.800 Maybe consider making a donation.

02:01:41.580 Sure.

02:01:42.120 Great.

02:01:43.000 Probably like 15 bucks.

02:01:44.200 15 bucks?

02:01:44.620 No, that'd be great.

02:01:45.840 I don't know, maybe like 10, 20 bucks.

02:01:47.420 15 to 20.

02:01:48.380 5 or 10 dollars.

02:01:49.360 Maybe like 10 dollars.

02:01:50.460 5 dollars.

02:01:51.180 10 bucks.

02:01:51.780 10 dollars.

02:01:52.320 5 or 10 bucks.

02:01:53.040 10 bucks.

02:01:53.540 Let's say 27 dollars, since that seems to be my Bernie donation.

02:01:57.760 Just so you know, the organization Ami Horowitz is raising money for, in this clip, is called Friends of Hamas.

02:02:06.060 And he is, has no shortage of college students willing to give him money to donate to an internationally recognized terrorist organization, just because, in his summary of what they do, he says they're going to destroy Israel.

02:02:25.920 5 or 10 dollars.

02:02:56.400 Have a great Memorial Day weekend.

02:02:58.080 We'll see you next week.

02:03:02.160 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
