00:01:43.700 we have a lot to go into uh today we uh we have biden uh laughing about the uh question where

00:01:55.180 do we know the origin of covid

00:01:57.300 really that's your response um also donald trump has uh has decided to sing uh a little merry

00:02:08.740 christmas song to sleepy joe we have that uh coming up in in just a second also nancy pelosi came out 0.97

00:02:16.600 yesterday and said this attitude of lawlessness comes from i don't know where but it has to stop

00:02:26.460 really nancy is it maybe time for your little cup of pills too and maybe some pudding

00:02:32.020 you don't know where the lawlessness comes from and we're gonna have a little christmas treat for stew

00:02:38.660 except he can't keep any of the presents i'll explain in 60 seconds

00:02:42.700 the glenbeck program sometimes opportunity knocks more than once but it's never good to gamble too hard

00:02:52.820 that it's going to keep knocking at that door 2021 has been a year of some pretty crazy changes most of

00:02:59.300 them bad a few of them good and some like everything that's going on in the housing market are probably

00:03:04.880 a mixture of good and bad whatever the case if you're a homeowner i cannot urge you strongly enough

00:03:11.360 that you need to think about refinancing your mortgage right now did you see what the fed said

00:03:17.960 yesterday three rates significant rate hikes are coming next year next year they also said that

00:03:25.500 they're going to end tapering which is going to affect the stock market and everything else this is

00:03:31.760 going to be a huge bump in the road american financing can help you now save money and

00:03:37.640 prepare for those bumps american financing 800-906-2440 americanfinancing.net 800-906-2440

00:04:06.660 i just don't have any confidence that uh our holiday vacation is going to go well i just don't

00:04:14.180 have any confidence in it your personal vacation yes so which includes christmas with the kids and

00:04:21.420 everything else we have had just such a bad year of something it's like well for instance you know

00:04:27.680 we've had problems with tanya's father being sick now uh so we've been up to visit him probably the

00:04:34.900 last time you're going to see grandpa you know one of those things oh wow like three times this year

00:04:40.160 the guy's got more lives than a cat i told him last time i saw him you're never going to die you're never

00:04:44.820 going to die uh but now mom and dad both have covid uh everybody's been vaccinated and everything else and

00:04:52.460 he's got co he has covid then she got covid or vice versa then she fell down had to go to the

00:04:58.720 hospital this is in this last week then so he was at home trying to take care of everything and then

00:05:03.960 he fell down broke four ribs with covid in the hospital they can't be in the same hospital room

00:05:10.300 even though their husband and wives they live together but it's a covid thing you can't be in

00:05:14.340 the same hospital even though they both have it uh-huh that's a fascinating medical discovery

00:05:18.700 whatever they've discovered to make that i know i know i know so uh it's just i don't know so i

00:05:24.480 thought i'd do something today that maybe would put me in the christmas mood okay okay so you get to

00:10:09.160 try to be very careful here uh-huh

00:10:14.680 oh my yeah jeez so that is the gun belt of jesse james so if you remember jesse james

00:10:26.580 this is the gun belt that he had on the day he died so he had two gun belts uh this is one of them

00:10:34.580 uh if you remember jesse james was killed by the coward robert ford and uh jesse james was kind of a

00:10:43.700 hero robber you know what i mean uh people liked him uh and uh and robert ford was kind of a clinger

00:10:51.640 on and he really wanted to be famous and uh he made a huge mistake he killed somebody and then buried

00:10:59.460 them in a shallow grave and the the police found out about it and um arrested him and he said wait

00:11:08.380 wait i know where jesse james is and the governor said if you kill jesse james i'll i'll pardon you

00:11:16.200 for the killing of jesse james and the guy you just buried and i'll give you the reward so he went and

00:11:24.060 he was plotting jesse james didn't trust him uh jesse and his brother were there and they were going to

00:11:29.740 rob a bank and robert ford said i'll help he went he had breakfast with the two of them at jesse james

00:11:35.460 house jesse was sitting there in the parlor in the you know living room and uh they were talking

00:11:41.520 and he noticed that his mom's needle point that was over the fireplace was crooked so he got on a chair

00:11:48.660 was straightening it out and robert ford shot him right behind the ear shot him in the back

00:11:55.440 um in the head actually but he had his back turned uh and he became the coward robert ford

00:12:03.460 uh and uh eventually was shot in the back as well uh by somebody that really wanted him dead and it

00:12:12.840 had no connection to jesse james just hated the fact that this guy started to go on stage and make

00:12:19.380 himself into a big hero people turned on him quickly he had no friends after that and uh it says

00:12:26.960 here uh it's a cartridge belt used by jesse james one of the two he had when killed yeah wow isn't that

00:12:32.640 amazing amazing you have cool toys yeah they are cool toys unfortunately they're all they're all in

00:12:39.120 the museum uh by the way we want to do another museum and open the museum up uh this summer for

00:12:45.520 a major opening uh it's going to probably take you know we've usually had them in this building

00:12:50.540 i have a feeling it may take two or three buildings now because this has expanded so dramatically

00:12:58.260 um and we're going to do that this summer hopefully uh okay the last two the last two okay all right

00:13:09.020 i'm not sure which one that one is and if it's sorry it was empty sorry wait yeah i'll throw the

00:13:17.580 box out for you but this one is the coolest thing ever this one is one of those things brad melzer you

00:13:23.260 know our good friend oh yeah yeah uh he's gonna he'll flip over this uh and this is one of the

00:13:30.160 coolest things of i just i've i've seen okay opening it now christmas gift number four for stew

00:13:59.380 inside and read this is on the collar wow it says christopher reeves yeah it says 4913 walking

00:14:09.860 which is interesting unfortunately what happened to christopher reeves yeah uh but this is that's

00:14:16.760 christopher reeves that not only his cape the in the other box are his boots and that's his suit

00:14:22.900 oh yeah look at the suit but pull his suit out just the top look how small he was yeah

00:14:28.460 jeez now maybe because it fit pretty tightly so i don't know maybe it stretches a lot but he was not

00:14:37.640 a big guy at least according to the suit yeah it's it's uh i mean it is sort of i guess it is

00:14:43.580 stretchy yeah it's sort of material but yeah this is and those are his pants

00:14:47.520 i mean and that's from the first superman movie i think these were custom glenn i don't think you

00:15:04.380 uh david barton has purchased i have purchased the museum has purchased uh and uh all of them will be

00:15:12.980 seen in the museum there's his boots it just doesn't seem like a person saving the world would

00:15:18.060 wear these boots i'll have to say no i just doesn't know it looks more like lady gaga yeah it does seem

00:15:23.920 like something lady gaga would wear yeah um they zipped him right into these things yeah they zipped 0.91

00:15:29.760 him in a little tight suit yeah and some big boots it's a little weird it's now that i'm thinking about

00:15:34.820 that whole thing yeah it's a little weird okay yeah it's like yeah you know don't don't be caught

00:15:41.720 walking around with that you know unless you are the man of steel you don't want to be caught in that

00:15:47.300 suit you don't have to tell everybody but tell me how much does it set you back how much how much

00:19:11.180 welcome to the uh glenbeck program um we're glad you're here there's a man there is a lot going on

00:19:29.260 today um that quite honestly i mean i look at the stuff going on today and let's see if i can start

00:19:37.980 with some let me start with some good news uh no no no okay i don't have any but how about this

00:19:46.720 how about nancy pelosi actually standing up yesterday and saying yeah i don't i don't know where they're

00:19:53.900 getting this uh you know lawless behavior from but it's got to stop listen to this what it is it's

00:19:59.940 it's absolutely outrageous you know obviously it cannot continue but the fact is that there is

00:20:06.460 an attitude of uh lawlessness in our country that springs from i don't know where maybe you do

00:20:14.460 yeah we do we cannot have that lawlessness yeah become the norm yes yes that's a good idea it's

00:20:23.000 weird because i think that's what we were saying to them just a couple of uh years ago you can't

00:20:29.020 allow this lawlessness to happen you know breaking the doors in of department stores and just going in

00:20:34.600 and taking stuff peaceful marches sure what about cities down oh so lighting cities on fire that would

00:20:41.940 be lawlessness that would be lawlessness well it's lawlessness when you don't punish it

00:20:45.900 right if someone comes and burns the city down that's one thing uh and that person has to deal

00:20:51.440 with the consequences of that at least typically that's how society yeah not anymore these guys

00:20:55.560 these guys said that we shouldn't punish them i always go back to that moment during the initial

00:21:00.260 george floyd riots where they walked in to a police precinct yes lit it on fire and the police just

00:21:08.960 left not the police they're not their decision by the way of course uh they did not want that to

00:21:15.160 happen but they just left and they let them take it over and set it on fire they didn't even try to

00:21:20.560 stop them like what what i feel like that's such an amazing moment that's been overlooked it's one

00:21:25.380 thing look and it's really bad for a target uh or you know uh an auto parts store to be lit on fire

00:21:32.820 and no one shows up to put out the fire horrible really bad for a police precinct i mean that's just

00:21:39.560 signaling to everyone do whatever you want you know what's really amazing is uh if you've ever watched

00:21:46.440 batman you can you can see the uh parallels between uh gotham and many american cities they're turning

00:21:57.960 into gotham and it's because it's lawlessness and no one will do anything and so what happens

00:22:04.880 you look for you look for somebody who is just gonna take it on and do it themselves

00:22:11.380 that's really bad really bad and where did it start it started with nancy pelosi and her gang

00:22:18.260 a real host after talking about gotham would have a cool artifact from batman and you don't have

00:22:22.900 anything give me three minutes and i'll go get one uh our number is 888-727-BECK-888-727-BECK

00:24:23.840 there's some some really bad news and some i think good news but maybe i'm looking at it

00:24:31.260 incorrectly um it looks like it is much more virulent which means it spreads no no no sorry

00:24:38.480 sorry sorry much more transmissible transmissible yeah much less uh virulent so maybe maybe we don't

00:24:46.420 know that for sure but it i mean there's signs there are signs of it we don't know but it's signs you

00:24:52.560 know a lot of times you know look this is we've seen we've seen this pattern enough to know

00:24:55.820 people who are skeptical of covid generally gravitate to the best news information on this

00:25:02.380 and the people in the news media generally go to the worst right we know that pattern goes on

00:25:06.740 so you have to you take time to sift through it and try to figure out okay which which part of this

00:25:11.300 is true which isn't even the mainstream media has started bringing up reports about it being less

00:25:17.540 virulent um so that's that's good it does seem like that there's something to that it's well it

00:25:23.900 couldn't it couldn't reproduce this fast without leaving awake we know it's not more virulent

00:25:30.980 yeah i think that that i mean i think so yeah yeah i i think it's going to wind up being less

00:25:36.680 there's a lot of people they've done a bunch of studies um they're just all really early a lot of

00:25:41.660 them are in the lab but like this is the stuff they figure out to indicate what is going to go on

00:25:46.300 and they miss sometimes but usually they get the direction generally speaking right so it's now in

00:25:51.380 70 countries of rapid growth in the uk uh it it now shows it can out compete with the delta variant

00:26:00.080 which if it is less virulent that's good because it will become the dominant strain um already the

00:26:07.300 dominant strain in london already in south africa as well it says currently dominant in the u.s and

00:26:12.320 much of europe um no delta is the one that's oh sorry delta is yeah um also evidence that it is better

00:26:19.160 than its predecessors at evading immunity from vaccines or previous infection that seems to be

00:26:26.280 another thing that is real like i you know like where delta you know it everyone was talking about the

00:26:32.140 waning vaccine efficiency with delta you know it was a little bit i don't think it was all that much

00:26:36.440 you'd be worried about this one in particular though seems like not only vaccine immunity but also

00:26:41.680 natural immunity it seems to be good at getting around which is uh suboptimal yeah in theory yeah um

00:26:49.960 but this is you know to me this goes back to what i said in january before anybody was really talking

00:26:56.880 about you know what it might mean and i said if this is an outbreak i fear the um i fear

00:27:06.360 the economic ramifications more than the virus i just don't think this is going to be the plague

00:27:12.260 uh you know or ebola it's going to really attack us economically that's what i was worried about and

00:27:19.540 then i said it is eventually going to burn itself out as they do and it will probably just become

00:27:25.640 another flu yeah now that's bad because you know we lose flu sucks yeah the flu sucks and we lose what

00:27:33.100 40 to 80 000 people every year in america from the flu you add another 40 to 80 000 and that's a lot of

00:27:42.020 people yeah you don't want to double up on the flu if you can help it but i mean long term i think we

00:27:46.100 will that's how this probably ends that's how it ends that's how it ends and it this might be a step

00:27:51.180 in that direction we don't know yet um but we do know that it is uh the numbers are a little

00:27:58.820 staggering it is it is much more transmissible um on wednesday the uk reported 4 671 new omicron

00:28:09.740 cases an increase of 87 percent on all those previously identified bringing the total to more

00:28:15.800 than 10 000 people infections from the variant are much higher than reported cases given the

00:28:21.720 asymptomatic infection and the lag time in testing to identify it they estimate now omicron infections

00:28:28.680 could reach a million a day by christmas day in the uk that's that is the way this is written

00:28:35.480 it doesn't it's because the entire story is about the uk now 75 that's crazy yeah that's there are what

00:28:41.400 75 000 i think you said uh per day per day now that was one it's a spike day sometimes the data

00:28:46.380 comes in strangely so that's a little bit higher than they've been but that's the record for the

00:28:50.100 entire pandemic uh if it continues if it goes to say they have previously identified bringing the total

00:28:55.440 of cases more than to more than 10 000 so you're you're you're a long way away from a million it's got

00:29:04.940 to be for all of europe it does seem though pretty clear that it is a lot more transmissible which as

00:29:14.400 you point out might not be bad it depends on how much how much more transmissible it is right because

00:29:20.100 there are some indications in early lab studies and such that omicron may be uh the virulence of

00:29:28.760 it may be reduced 25 maybe even 50 percent now that's not locked in you can't write you can't take

00:29:34.100 that to the bank but if that were to hold up that's obviously really good in that less people

00:29:39.860 will die the problem though is if you increase cases by five or ten x that virulence is still

00:29:47.920 going to wind up with a really bad bottom line number i i mean i do think that look if you're

00:29:52.980 living in a red state if you're living in um uh i don't think much much is going to change about

00:29:58.480 your life going through this though i do think you know travel may be very annoying if you're in a

00:30:04.000 blue state i think it's there a lot of these i don't think shutdowns are coming but i do think

00:30:07.740 you're going to get restrictions your some of that stuff's going to come back on you're seeing it in

00:30:11.080 some places already um let's see it may be kind of annoying i i will say it doesn't seem like it's

00:30:17.060 going to be i think it is going to be annoying because i think the federal government will make

00:30:21.280 it annoying um i think state governments will be also yeah in blue states in blue states yeah in blue

00:30:27.900 states and you know they already are but like when these things come up like we also had uh you know

00:30:32.820 epsilon variant right and that was in the news for a while too and it turned into nothing

00:30:37.180 right so sometimes these things happen and the majority of them i i would say a lot of these

00:30:44.080 scares we've seen it over and over again with the media they turn into nothing this one though

00:30:48.140 like delta seems like it could get to the point where it's going to be pretty annoying i mean like i

00:30:53.620 it it does seem to evade uh natural immunity and vaccine immunity right um uh they you know which is

00:31:00.960 weird because everybody's saying we've got a we've got to get on these vaccine boosters

00:31:05.080 why well i mean it it appears to evade those things yeah it's now the the initial studies and again

00:31:12.200 it's important to note this comes from pfizer so you and like i don't know i understand it you should

00:31:18.720 definitely be skeptical of of mcdonald's telling you how healthy their fries are right like okay i got it

00:31:23.700 yes on the other hand too we're going to have real results from outside scientists within weeks

00:31:29.860 so like for them to just say oh go get boosted and have nothing behind it would also wouldn't help

00:31:36.460 them in the long term remember this is a company that buys all the pills that makes the villages

00:31:40.220 so exciting to live in right pfizer has a lot of money right like so for them to completely screw this

00:31:46.460 up would be uh would be there's not a lot of incentive for them to for a three-week period of

00:31:51.780 them selling extra booster shots their studies are showing um that uh so the the two shots are

00:31:59.640 something like 33 effective against omicron where with the booster it goes up to about 80

00:32:05.660 is what they're saying now we don't know they are saying however and this is important the and i think

00:32:11.040 this will hold up for natural immunity as well though i have not seen a study on it yet but the both the

00:32:15.640 vaccine and i think natural immunity are holding up quite well against hospitalization and death still

00:32:22.380 yes so it's not and that's one of the arguments about the the difference in virulence the the

00:32:29.680 aggressiveness of covid back in the day was against a population that did no one had it and no one was

00:32:35.700 vaccinated and we didn't have treatments right now we're at a point where a lot of people are vaccinated

00:32:40.760 a lot of people have had it and we have a lot of treatments and more coming so it may just be that

00:32:46.200 it's this similar virulence but we just have a a population much better prepared to handle it

00:32:53.080 and that is important it's why you don't put all these restrictions on again we are able to make

00:32:57.560 our own choices and judge our own risk so they're looking at the university uh of ohio ohio state

00:33:03.300 university they're looking at the omicron uh variant and they have found now that it looks like

00:33:12.700 this variant doesn't go or doesn't breathe well in the lungs it does much better in the throat which

00:33:20.320 is huge it's huge if you get that out of your lungs you know that that's where pneumonia and you just

00:33:28.260 can't breathe all of that stuff ventilators if you keep it if this thing keeps out of lungs it's going

00:33:34.560 to be a lot better now we don't know that's an initial report but this is the way these things work

00:33:40.980 generally speaking this is the way viruses work they don't want to kill the host life is trying

00:33:49.600 to find a way to live and survive so this virus is life and if it goes into a body and the body dies

00:33:58.720 because it kills it it dies and so it needs to get smarter and less virulent and kill less people

00:34:08.940 and that's what happens that's why these things usually get more and more mild as they go on

00:34:14.820 but you're not going to see you're not going to see an end to the uh the madness however let me say

00:34:20.000 this have you seen the ceos two of the largest uh airlines say that they are no longer this is

00:34:27.240 american and southwest say they are not going to uh they're not going to do the the mask mandates

00:34:35.520 they say they say that the i thought it was an faa rule two ceos america's largest airline said this

00:34:42.560 week they don't believe the bite administration's continued mass mandates requiring travels to wear

00:34:46.480 masks while flying serves much benefit considering the fact that airplanes have advanced filtration

00:34:50.800 systems that remove nearly all airborne contamination from the cabin the comments came from american

00:34:55.760 airlines ceo doug parker southwest airline ceo gary kelly came during a senate committee hearing on the

00:35:02.300 financial support of the industry during the pandemic so they're pushing back on it they're

00:35:06.120 opposing it they're opposing they can't lift it themselves but right but that is a huge deal and

00:35:10.440 and honestly you're talking about one of probably the safest environments you could be for covid

00:35:15.140 because you would think it would be one of the worst but it's not yeah because it would be one of

00:35:21.160 the worst if it was a sealed tube right but they they filter that air i don't know how many times oh yeah

00:35:28.000 before it comes blowing back in your face so it is a very safe environment and i know of really none

00:35:34.420 that i can think of outbreaks that have happened on planes that's not to say that no cases have ever

00:35:39.280 been transmitted on a plane but like there's there haven't been super spreader events on planes and

00:35:45.100 you would think filtration right you would think that that that closed in environment would be a

00:35:49.820 super spreader event every time it takes off so where are you on like if you had to say

00:35:54.840 um let me give you two options this is going to get pretty bad or it's going to fade away and be

00:36:01.160 nothing are you a 50 50 person you above 50 50 that's going to get bad and when i mean bad i mean

00:36:07.500 you know i don't think it's going to be january april 2020 bad uh but it's going to be you know worse

00:36:15.180 than let's say the delta wave of the of the fall of the fall and winter last year where we had you

00:36:20.560 know what 3 500 4 000 people a day dying so i think i mean this is a sheer guess on my head i don't

00:36:28.100 have any feeling on it um i'm with you on this it's just a vibe i don't know my gut says that it's going

00:36:35.100 to it's going to be much more prevalent but much less scary people are not going to be afraid of this

00:36:45.560 they're going to it's going to start just becoming part of life right you're going to start people

00:36:49.480 like the government's not going to reflect that but that's where the american people and i think

00:36:53.800 we always lead and we always lead i think you know we we we will start doing the things and you saw

00:37:00.960 this you see this in red states all the time you know like there were mask mandates here much longer

00:37:05.180 than people were paying attention to them you know what i mean like people were living their lives and

00:37:09.640 doing what they wanted to do even though some of these rules remained on the books and some of these

00:37:14.360 places will implement these rules again yeah and i think at this point most people are just like look

00:37:20.060 i gotta live my life you know i mean if you're not gonna live my life it's it's this is what i got in

00:37:26.480 trouble for when i said when when we were at the height people like me my age i've lived a good life

00:37:32.360 i've had a good life and if it meant keeping america's doors open yeah on critical infrastructure

00:37:38.100 then i'd be willing to go in and you know i get the coronavirus and i die okay i volunteer to do that

00:37:45.480 keep america going don't keep shutting it down and i think more and more people are like that look i'm

00:37:52.060 not gonna live my life in fear of this stupid virus right you know we can't we can't it'll be like this

00:37:59.220 we are going to live with the coronavirus for the rest of our lives it's just going to be part of life

00:38:08.860 now so now's the time to make the choice how much are you willing to are you willing not to see your

00:38:19.000 children and your grandchildren on christmas because you're afraid of the coronavirus maybe you are this

00:38:26.100 are you still going to be there next year and the year after what is it we are sacrificing because of

00:38:33.420 fear when i woke up this morning i'll bet that uh you didn't expect that today you would suddenly have

00:38:43.340 to drop thousands of dollars all of a sudden because something went wonky with your car uh i didn't think

00:38:49.400 that did you nothing has gone wrong wonky with my car has it with yours it's only a matter of

00:38:55.900 time before it happens to both of us especially if your car is out of warranty that could be exactly

00:39:00.700 what happens you get up in the morning and your plans and all of a sudden your car goes and repairs

00:39:05.920 are not cheap car shield i've had it for several years now and i can tell you they've said saved my

00:39:11.740 family and i a ton of money they have affordable plans for your budget and they can get you out of

00:39:49.260 10 deductible may apply this is the glenn beck program

00:39:55.400 i am mourning the loss of something significant in america really yes the hemi v8 is now over

00:40:10.120 no way dodge is getting rid of the hemi um and uh it will be the global the replacement is the global 0.97

00:40:19.240 global medium engine turbocharged six which just is like rolls off the tongue oh it's fantastic

00:40:27.120 um and uh so now we have a turbo six instead of the the hemi v8 and uh and and and one supercharger

00:40:37.420 and that's only until we get to all electric well there's something to be said about that because

00:40:45.620 dodge doesn't seem to be you know many cars are now like like uh bmw they're starting to go between

00:40:52.840 they're they're hybriding with the uh all electric shows doing that too and uh dodge is not doing that

00:41:00.220 so is this the end of those kinds of american supercars are they over probably this is the

00:41:09.220 glenn beck program if you don't want to lose your hair you may want to try keeps why because first of

00:41:15.300 all it's easy you don't have to worry about going out and going to doctors and and you know dealing

00:41:24.600 growing back yeah that's it i am gonna try that because i've taken propitia my whole life and it

00:41:30.200 keeps it from falling out but i've never seen regrowth yeah i i think that does happen with

00:41:35.280 some people wow um hate those people like keith and when you and you've stated many times on the

00:42:53.980 hello america welcome to the program two days away from uh my last show today and tomorrow my last show

00:43:04.720 before the holidays and i want to talk to you a little bit about some of the things that we're

00:43:10.060 missing right now there's a there's we're losing traditions and we don't even recognize it i want

00:43:19.860 to start there in 60 seconds

00:43:21.700 the glenbeck program so i have always been a year-round griller even when i lived up in

00:43:29.700 connecticut and it was really really super super cold but i like the steak out on a grill

00:43:34.620 uh but i will tell you standing out there they were always burnt because i would go inside and

00:43:40.180 then they would start on fire and then i'd be like i just i'll just let it burn until it's you know

00:43:46.560 just a little pink in the middle anyway rec tech i don't have that problem rec tech you can go and put

00:43:54.680 whatever you want you can grill you can smoke you can even bake and you set the temperature it adjusts

00:44:01.060 the temperature in case it decides to you know get colder or warmer outside or every time you open up

00:44:06.640 the hood but it also will tell you when it's perfectly cooked it's a rec tech it is seriously

00:44:13.620 the greatest uh grill smoker you'll ever find do yourself a favor right now and go online and check

00:44:21.200 out the rec tech sleek beautiful made with solid stainless steel it's really like grilling on a tank

00:44:27.620 um and it also has smart grill technology so check it out you won't find anything else like it

00:44:33.800 order your grill for the holidays today go to rec tech.com that's r-e-c-t-e-q rec tech.com

00:44:41.520 so i have to make a a an admission to you this is so far the least holiday i have ever felt in my life

00:44:56.060 and it may be for a myriad of reasons the family has had a really oh my gosh the family has just had a

00:45:04.980 really bad year this has been the worst year uh as a family i think we've ever had we've had some high

00:45:14.100 points but we've had so many low points and maybe it's just that i'm not in the mood for christmas i

00:45:19.200 just want to just want to get it done with uh and i asked everybody on the staff yesterday because

00:45:27.800 somebody on my staff said you're not really doing anything about christmas and like hello santa claus

00:45:33.740 do you look like him and so i asked who's not into the holiday season this year everybody on my staff

00:45:42.120 what are the 13 10 10 people yeah um everybody in here yesterday raised their hand except for two

00:45:48.560 nathan who just wrote a book about christmas he's got a best-selling christmas book he has to be

00:45:53.620 in the christmas yes and you stew yes and then i started the discussion saying okay so why is it what

00:46:01.140 what's what's happening to us because everybody everybody on my staff we are always excited for

00:46:07.980 christmas well except for probably the one jewish person but uh everybody's always excited for 0.99

00:46:14.140 christmas so first we thought okay is it the lack of jesus in the christmas season is it the rise of

00:46:24.060 you know consumerism which i don't really even feel this year i've felt that for years and parts of me

00:46:31.200 don't mind if christmas starts in september you know what i mean because i've always liked christmas yeah

00:46:35.360 i think now hear me out we have had multiple years of social polarization and i think that's part of it

00:46:47.100 but also the death of our traditions our traditions are being killed one by one and perhaps we have

00:46:59.580 forgotten how to make things sacred we've lost our we've lost our reverence for wisdom that is passed

00:47:08.860 down from generation to generation we're now all focused on the future and carl marks that we've let

00:47:16.080 the past disappear in our neglect we built towers without any regard for their foundations we build our

00:47:24.220 homes on shifting sands and sacredness i don't know if you've been watching what's happening over the

00:47:33.400 redesign of notre dame in france but sacredness has been sacrificed on the altar it's far less important

00:47:43.540 than inclusivity and connection they want places to feel welcoming more than holy and there is

00:47:56.340 something about sacred spaces we in our culture bring try to bring everything together we don't set things

00:48:04.260 apart now the left is doing that because of their religion they are setting things apart they are setting

00:48:12.700 the forests apart people shouldn't go in the forest they'll hurt it it's sacred

00:48:18.160 and then they set the abominations apart you can't be in society because you don't believe this

00:48:27.800 but when it comes to you know regular people nothing is sacred anymore you know i i i forced my son

00:48:38.060 and this is one of our traditions and i don't even know if we're gonna do it this year

00:48:42.320 every uh january 1st the family gets together we spend new year's eve together and we have one

00:48:50.100 really nice meal and we all dress to the nines i make i made the decision that they're black they're

00:48:58.500 black tie that's cool and we've always had black tie since since the kids were small we had black tie

00:49:05.560 january or december 31st dinners and last year we were like ah let's just dress up a little bit

00:49:13.860 and we weren't really even dressed up and this year i haven't heard any talk about it and i've i've done it

00:49:19.680 because i want my sons to know how to dress i want my sons to know and maybe that's ridiculous

00:49:27.800 maybe that'll never happen because people aren't wearing even suits and ties anymore

00:49:32.040 so i don't know but everything's blending together now you know our work bleeds into our home life

00:49:42.020 because there's always something buzzing in our pocket the idea of your sunday best is gone we're

00:49:48.120 lucky if people show up to church in person you know just don't watch from home in their pjs

00:49:54.120 because i know i've enjoyed that we're lucky people don't even show up they i bet you they have

00:50:01.880 shown up in church in their pjs more and more our family gatherings are held virtually where the

00:50:09.760 family is together virtually but in reality we're not and we've done these things now because we want

00:50:16.640 to be connected we want to include everyone we want togetherness if you ask most church folks why

00:50:24.860 they don't dress for church as much as their grandma did they'll say because i want everybody to feel

00:50:29.300 comfortable joining the service you know they don't want the requirement to wear nice clothes or

00:50:35.280 or whatever to prevent potential church goers from attending it's an effort to be more inclusive and

00:50:42.040 it's an honest effort but you it's like we've always said in my business i can't program this show for

00:50:50.780 the people who don't listen we are who we are and we care about the people who are listening

00:50:57.400 and we've lost so much our traditions and our sacred spaces

00:51:03.540 and it is our traditions and our rituals that bind us together as a nation jordan peterson has recently

00:51:12.540 talked about this tradition listen we don't have much respect for tradition in the west and it's a

00:51:17.840 really really big problem because the ethical responsibility of a human being is to take the

00:51:24.060 dead culture so that's the dead father or the dead god and to revivify it with attention and 0.89

00:51:30.840 communication and you fail to do that then everything disappears and we we are failing to do that we're

00:51:37.020 leaving it all behind instead it's not a good idea you know if the old gods die as nietzsche said they had

00:51:45.260 new gods swoop in very rapidly and if you think the old god was bad you wait till the new gods get a hold of

00:51:51.580 you this is what concerns me so much we are changing and we're not even noticing how much we have

00:52:02.520 changed covid alone has changed everything you know at least after 9-11 we noticed wow you can't go to

00:52:13.240 the airport anymore you can't go to the gate i've got to be searched all the time i got this and that

00:52:18.440 now i'm not sure things are changing so rapidly i'm not sure we even notice anymore we're going to

00:52:25.320 stand back probably soon and look back and go holy cow when did all of this happen i remember that we

00:52:33.680 used to we're now being trained that meat is expensive we're now being trained that you're going

00:52:43.500 to have an electric car we're now being trained that that you can not work and be paid we're now

00:52:53.220 being trained that capitalism is bad we're now being trained that jesus is a myth and there are no

00:53:02.000 standards we get to make them up ourselves

00:53:04.860 i mean think of this the flag isn't is offensive

00:53:11.800 football is racist thanksgiving is racist what survives untouched in the last few years we've

00:53:23.840 seen the death of things that bring us together we couldn't go to football games we shouldn't go

00:53:30.360 celebrate fourth of july and now we can't go to you know grandma's house because of covid

00:53:37.240 first of all this has been happening over the years in bits and pieces the family has been breaking down

00:53:45.040 into smaller smaller pieces first through people just moving away they're not coming home for the

00:53:50.700 holidays anymore then there's divorce and so do i go to mom's house or dad's house or both

00:53:55.680 now through political divides we're not having uncle bernie here

00:54:00.460 and vaccination status we're closing everybody out

00:54:08.120 and after a couple of years of not gathering in person i i really fear many of us have lost the taste

00:54:16.380 for it i sat at thanksgiving the thanksgiving table and i thought about the first easter i was with the

00:54:26.900 colonna family before i married my wife and it was still with all the old people the old people that 1.00

00:54:34.480 had come from italy talk with your hands barely understand them all of the immigrants that had come 1.00

00:54:41.460 and it was a table that was full and rich and no one got up from the table literally for six hours

00:54:51.520 and it was fascinating and everybody was talking

00:54:56.120 this time i went for thanksgiving it was mom and dad my family

00:55:05.340 luckily the other kids two of the other kids uh came one of their family another one popped by to

00:55:16.840 visit and the aunts and uncles they popped in to visit later and that's a good score for a family

00:55:23.180 how many families are still doing that but it wasn't the same

00:55:28.600 our homes aren't sacred anymore

00:55:33.180 what is it that we're passing down to our children and we have to answer this question

00:55:40.160 because nature abhors a vacuum and there are gaping holes that we have left open as we dismantle our

00:55:48.520 society and if we don't fill it with something good it will be filled with something not good

00:55:57.500 i guess what i'm saying to you is what i'm saying to myself this christmas

00:56:07.180 maybe we should all take a moment and just consider what is sacred

00:56:12.960 perhaps it's the traditions you've inherited perhaps it isn't but the one thing i know that

00:56:22.560 i've learned since getting older kids don't learn it through osmosis i said something to my kids the

00:56:30.420 other day something my dad had said a million times i don't remember what it was right now but

00:56:35.000 it was one of these things that i grew up i knew absolutely positively because my dad said it over and

00:56:39.920 over and over again and i said kids i know you've heard me say this over and over again but

00:56:44.340 and both my kids looked at me and said uh i've never heard you say that before dad

00:56:49.620 i'm like what of course i have and i'm not sure they might because they're they're really good liars

00:56:56.120 uh i'm not sure if i had

00:57:00.000 and i'm i'm learning every day every day kids don't learn through osmosis

00:57:07.960 jeremiah predicted

00:57:13.380 surely our fathers have inherited lies

00:57:17.880 maybe

00:57:26.620 but don't throw an inherited

00:57:30.760 history

00:57:34.640 away lightly

00:57:36.680 don't do it without an understanding

00:57:40.620 that that is digging a hole

00:57:42.900 in your family

00:57:44.720 and in yourself

00:57:45.860 and something will come

00:57:48.420 and fill it

00:57:49.380 and have you noticed

00:57:51.560 how many people there are

00:57:53.940 in government and society

00:57:56.460 that are more than willing

00:57:58.400 to fill it

00:57:59.400 one of the things my father used to say

00:58:02.860 all the time is

00:58:03.920 the name of god is i am

00:58:05.980 it's the most powerful two words in any language

00:58:09.220 i am

00:58:10.020 and if you don't know

00:58:12.240 and say to yourself

00:58:13.760 every day

00:58:14.940 i am

00:58:16.400 blank

00:58:17.580 because you don't know

00:58:20.260 or you don't believe

00:58:21.720 you don't believe in yourself

00:58:23.420 i am miserable

00:58:25.140 i am unhappy

00:58:26.180 i am a loser

00:58:27.380 if you say that

00:58:28.720 that is what you will become

00:58:30.560 so fill that

00:58:32.740 blank after i am

00:58:34.900 with something you want to become

00:58:36.960 something that you can hold up your head and say

00:58:40.300 this is what and who i am

00:58:43.080 and if you don't do it

00:58:46.640 he warned us

00:58:48.780 in marriage

00:58:49.580 and in life

00:58:50.660 there will always be

00:58:53.180 someone willing

00:58:54.420 to fill in that line

00:58:57.120 to fill in that blank

00:58:58.880 and it's happening

00:59:00.380 to all of us now

00:59:01.840 we don't know

00:59:03.220 who we are

00:59:04.100 we don't know

00:59:05.500 where we came from

00:59:07.320 we don't know

00:59:08.540 what to be an american

00:59:09.980 even means

00:59:11.300 i am an american

00:59:16.260 i am a christian

00:59:18.320 i am a follower

00:59:19.900 of jesus christ

00:59:21.240 i am clear

00:59:23.060 about redemption

00:59:24.700 i am a warrior

00:59:29.440 i am not tired

00:59:32.300 i am just beginning

00:59:34.940 if you're planning to do some traveling

00:59:39.900 over the holidays

00:59:40.700 you know maybe flying out somewhere

00:59:42.220 to meet a family

00:59:43.440 you're standing there in the airport

00:59:44.860 playing on your phone

00:59:45.880 on a public wi-fi

00:59:46.940 i would like to remind you

00:59:48.820 be aware of who might be robbing you

00:59:50.760 at that very moment

00:59:51.860 and i don't mean the airline

00:59:53.540 although they did too

00:59:55.220 but cyber criminals

00:59:56.780 whether they're hacking in

00:59:58.300 and stealing the information themselves

01:00:00.120 or finding it somewhere out there

01:00:01.760 on the dark web

01:00:02.560 cyber criminals have one thing

01:00:04.720 and one thing on their mind

01:00:06.160 and that's take what's yours

01:00:08.000 and if you're not

01:00:10.240 finding and using

01:00:11.380 the best means of protection

01:00:12.580 on the internet

01:00:13.400 it'll happen to you

01:00:14.940 easily

01:00:15.740 and if you're really unlucky

01:00:17.720 it'll happen

01:00:18.680 and it'll be a while

01:00:19.480 before you even find out about it

01:00:21.020 and then there's real trouble

01:00:22.100 that's why there's lifelock

01:00:23.960 they're the best in the business

01:00:25.120 nobody can identify everything

01:00:26.640 monitor all transactions

01:00:27.760 but they will

01:00:29.520 they will look

01:00:30.800 where others aren't looking

01:00:32.420 they're

01:00:32.980 i think the best

01:00:34.720 in the business

01:00:35.580 i think they were

01:00:36.760 the first

01:00:37.360 in this category

01:00:38.400 and they'll not only

01:00:39.620 alert you

01:00:58.180 hey welcome to the

01:01:09.300 welcome to the program

01:01:11.340 so there's

01:01:13.740 several things

01:01:15.140 that i think we should

01:01:16.180 touch on

01:01:17.380 i want to go back

01:01:18.020 to omicron

01:01:19.060 and the coronavirus

01:01:20.760 last hour

01:01:21.580 stew and i were talking

01:01:22.780 about

01:01:23.220 the latest stats

01:01:25.440 it looks like

01:01:26.240 it's much more

01:01:27.380 transmissible

01:01:28.160 but the early

01:01:30.080 indications are

01:01:31.220 that it

01:01:32.240 may be

01:01:33.240 less viral

01:01:34.220 may be less

01:01:35.040 deadly

01:01:35.560 and that would

01:01:38.140 be good news

01:01:38.740 it's not going in

01:01:39.940 it doesn't

01:01:40.580 feast on the lungs 0.73

01:01:42.100 it instead

01:01:42.880 lives in

01:01:44.260 the airways

01:01:45.440 and in our

01:01:47.260 throats

01:01:47.680 which makes it

01:01:48.640 much more

01:01:49.300 transmissible

01:01:50.060 but also

01:01:51.100 because it's not

01:01:51.860 going into our lungs

01:01:52.900 it makes it

01:01:54.160 less deadly

01:01:55.300 we think

01:01:56.040 at this point

01:01:56.760 we're entering

01:01:58.660 a time

01:01:59.100 now

01:01:59.360 and

01:01:59.720 stew and i

01:02:00.520 i think

01:02:00.900 we agree

01:02:01.500 that

01:02:02.060 the american

01:02:04.060 people

01:02:04.540 and i think

01:02:05.360 people all over

01:02:05.980 the world

01:02:06.320 are kind of

01:02:06.840 pretty done

01:02:07.340 with it

01:02:07.660 they're done

01:02:08.280 with it

01:02:08.800 like you know

01:02:09.400 what i gotta

01:02:09.700 live my life

01:02:10.400 yeah i think

01:02:11.600 that's true

01:02:12.280 i think

01:02:12.640 and look

01:02:13.380 obviously a lot

01:02:14.200 of conservatives

01:02:14.720 were done with

01:02:15.300 it a long time

01:02:15.900 ago

01:02:16.100 but i think

01:02:16.940 looking at the

01:02:18.040 country as a

01:02:18.620 whole

01:02:18.880 and this is

01:02:19.340 important to you

01:02:20.020 if you're

01:02:20.300 running a business

01:02:20.940 you might not

01:02:21.400 care about what

01:02:22.000 liberals do

01:02:22.500 generally

01:02:22.900 but you're

01:02:23.660 running a

01:02:23.920 business

01:02:24.260 a good chunk

01:02:25.140 of that business

01:02:25.600 probably comes

01:02:26.380 from the left

01:02:27.600 so you know

01:02:29.540 it's important

01:02:30.240 that everybody

01:02:30.900 gets past this

01:02:31.920 not just us

01:02:32.740 and i think

01:02:34.420 there are still

01:02:35.440 holdouts for sure

01:02:36.460 but i think we are

01:02:37.280 moving past it

01:02:38.320 pretty rapidly

01:02:39.180 at this point

01:02:39.720 i mean i don't

01:02:40.220 think people

01:02:40.840 live and die

01:02:41.540 with this information

01:02:42.340 every day

01:02:42.820 and i think

01:02:43.160 most people

01:02:43.600 don't even want

01:02:43.980 to talk about

01:02:44.460 it anymore

01:02:44.780 they're sick

01:02:45.160 of it

01:02:45.400 oh yeah

01:02:45.740 they're sick

01:02:46.120 of it

01:02:46.400 and i think

01:02:47.240 i think people

01:02:48.100 are like

01:02:48.420 look leave me

01:02:48.980 alone

01:02:49.220 just leave me

01:02:50.000 alone

01:02:50.240 you know

01:02:50.940 you make

01:02:51.460 your decision

01:02:51.940 i'll make

01:02:52.320 my decision

01:02:52.940 matthew walther

01:02:54.840 he's the editor

01:02:56.280 of the lamp

01:02:57.220 also contributing

01:02:58.640 editor for

01:02:59.500 american conservative

01:03:00.520 he wrote a piece

01:03:02.000 in the atlantic

01:03:03.280 where i live

01:03:05.200 no one cares

01:03:06.440 about covid

01:03:07.180 and this has

01:03:08.960 people in new york

01:03:09.940 and people who

01:03:10.460 read the atlantic

01:03:11.140 going wait

01:03:11.840 wait

01:03:12.300 what

01:03:12.920 but i think

01:03:14.200 he's right

01:03:14.840 i think he's

01:03:15.980 right

01:03:16.340 it's where

01:03:16.920 most people

01:03:17.880 are

01:03:18.360 we're going

01:03:19.240 to talk to

01:03:19.680 him in

01:03:20.140 just a second

01:03:20.860 because it's

01:03:21.240 a i think

01:03:22.120 a rather

01:03:22.560 remarkable

01:03:23.180 uh article

01:03:24.880 that is a

01:03:25.760 i don't know

01:03:27.300 wake up call

01:03:27.900 i think for a lot

01:03:28.540 of people on the

01:03:28.960 coast

01:03:29.200 yeah

01:03:29.620 they don't know

01:03:30.140 this is happening

01:03:30.720 and a marker

01:03:31.680 in time

01:03:32.540 on where we

01:03:33.320 are and

01:03:34.280 where we seem

01:03:35.480 to be pivoting

01:03:36.400 to

01:03:36.700 that's coming

01:03:37.580 up in just

01:03:38.100 a second

01:03:38.460 stand by

01:03:39.420 this is the

01:03:57.240 glennbeck program

01:03:58.400 omaha steaks

01:04:02.000 this is the

01:04:02.600 perfect gift

01:04:03.560 to buy online

01:04:04.440 if you're buying

01:05:31.860 more

01:05:33.580 transmissible

01:05:34.540 it could

01:05:35.960 be by

01:05:36.980 but it

01:05:40.860 yet but

01:06:24.540 honest i have

01:06:25.240 been heartened

01:06:27.040 by the response

01:06:28.480 from so many

01:06:29.080 people um

01:06:30.020 especially people

01:06:31.180 just you know

01:06:34.920 to say thank

01:06:35.720 you we're so

01:06:37.120 glad that there's

01:06:38.380 somebody out there

01:06:39.180 who's willing to

01:06:40.340 um present our

01:06:41.940 actual experience

01:06:42.920 of reality we

01:06:43.720 feel like when we

01:06:44.340 read the news or

01:06:45.200 we turn on tv

01:06:46.520 you know a

01:06:47.420 different universe

01:06:48.140 is being presented

01:06:49.060 you know we

01:06:49.820 thought we were

01:06:50.180 the only one

01:06:50.820 are you getting

01:06:51.940 those from

01:06:52.580 coastal cities

01:06:53.640 really from all

01:06:56.900 over i mean

01:06:57.460 that's the thing

01:06:58.080 that um was

01:07:00.060 really surprising

01:07:00.880 and again

01:07:01.280 heartening to

01:07:01.840 me it wasn't

01:07:02.800 just people who

01:07:03.800 live you know

01:07:04.520 in you know

01:07:06.580 sort of deep

01:07:07.320 red rural america

01:07:08.340 right happen to

01:07:09.320 do it's people

01:07:10.420 you know who

01:07:10.880 live in say the

01:07:11.820 connecticut suburbs

01:07:12.880 who say yeah

01:07:14.080 you know the

01:07:14.500 truth is is that

01:07:15.480 sometimes you know

01:07:16.980 at work they tell

01:07:17.740 us we have to put

01:07:18.580 these masks on or

01:07:19.480 whatever but for

01:07:20.380 the most part i'm

01:07:21.120 over it i'm

01:07:21.700 living my life

01:07:22.400 we had grandma

01:07:23.040 over for

01:07:23.520 thanksgiving

01:07:24.140 you know we're

01:07:24.960 all getting

01:07:25.300 together to

01:07:26.280 watch football

01:07:27.180 we're going to

01:07:27.640 our kids high

01:07:28.160 school basketball

01:07:28.860 games correct

01:07:29.580 we're just living

01:07:30.260 our lives

01:07:30.840 it is it is

01:07:32.600 really a strange

01:07:34.420 thing there seems

01:07:35.160 to be a split

01:07:36.200 and i'm not sure

01:07:37.420 that that split is

01:07:38.380 going to last

01:07:39.200 um except in

01:07:41.040 places that are

01:07:41.920 uber uber uber

01:07:43.660 deep deep blue

01:07:45.260 um but it's

01:07:47.400 almost i was up

01:07:48.260 in connecticut

01:07:48.880 and it's almost

01:07:50.580 religious now i

01:07:51.980 mean you are a

01:07:54.140 pariah if you're

01:07:55.840 not wearing a

01:07:56.880 mask in some

01:07:57.800 circles outside

01:07:58.880 inside all the

01:08:00.200 time it's it's

01:08:01.920 nuts it's it's

01:08:03.100 almost a mental

01:08:03.860 disorder

01:08:04.460 yeah you know

01:08:07.540 and the worst

01:08:08.660 thing about it is

01:08:09.500 it's i suppose

01:08:10.500 it's one thing

01:08:11.080 if these people

01:08:11.940 um want to

01:08:13.700 engage in this

01:08:14.340 behavior but the

01:08:14.920 ones i feel bad

01:08:15.600 for are the

01:08:16.440 service workers

01:08:17.620 people uh who

01:08:18.840 clean hotels

01:08:19.680 people who wash

01:08:20.720 dishes in

01:08:21.280 restaurants who

01:08:22.840 i fear are

01:08:23.520 going to end up

01:08:24.160 having to do

01:08:24.600 this for years

01:08:25.580 even after the

01:08:27.920 you know people

01:08:29.140 who consider

01:08:29.780 themselves their

01:08:30.860 betters have

01:08:31.900 moved on

01:08:32.480 yeah i think

01:08:33.580 that's going to

01:08:33.960 happen with the

01:08:34.420 airline industry

01:08:35.060 too if the

01:08:35.640 airline industry

01:08:36.240 doesn't it

01:08:36.960 doesn't wake up

01:08:37.620 and start pushing

01:08:38.100 back you in your

01:08:39.200 article talked about

01:08:39.940 a trip in

01:08:40.440 washington dc

01:08:41.400 and i had this

01:08:42.420 exact same

01:08:43.320 experience when i

01:08:44.580 went into the

01:08:45.420 coastal cities

01:08:46.160 you uh said it

01:08:47.840 was bizarre to

01:08:48.520 find thousands of

01:08:49.240 people indifferently

01:08:50.720 donning masks

01:08:52.300 outdoors tell me

01:08:54.200 about that

01:08:54.700 yeah i you know

01:08:57.400 again living out

01:08:59.740 here i was aware

01:09:00.720 that masking you

01:09:02.420 know when you go

01:09:02.960 into a restaurant or

01:09:04.000 you walk into a

01:09:05.280 hotel was a thing

01:09:07.040 but the idea that

01:09:08.100 people were wearing

01:09:08.900 them outside in

01:09:10.420 march i it it

01:09:13.140 just would never

01:09:13.740 have occurred to

01:09:14.420 me that that

01:09:15.160 was a thing

01:09:15.720 there was never

01:09:17.020 any real evidence

01:09:18.520 that outdoor

01:09:19.700 transmission of the

01:09:20.740 virus was a thing

01:09:21.640 but especially when

01:09:22.540 you know you're

01:09:23.980 just walking down

01:09:24.940 down the road

01:09:25.780 you're alone

01:09:26.340 yeah you know

01:09:27.960 yeah uh unless

01:09:29.300 you're trying to

01:09:29.820 signal something

01:09:30.880 you know for

01:09:32.800 other people i

01:09:33.400 have no idea what

01:09:34.480 what the public

01:09:35.060 health benefit could

01:09:36.180 be

01:09:36.460 well that's an

01:09:37.760 interesting thing

01:09:38.400 and you talk

01:09:38.920 about that in the

01:09:39.460 article unless

01:09:40.280 you're trying to

01:09:40.760 signal something

01:09:41.440 i think this is

01:09:43.880 a signal i think

01:09:45.960 this is like the

01:09:47.780 red maga hat

01:09:49.140 this is a signal

01:09:50.840 you're on one

01:09:52.040 side or the other

01:09:53.100 i i think it's

01:09:54.940 horrible that it

01:09:55.860 has become that

01:09:56.720 and i hope we can

01:09:58.180 get past that

01:09:59.100 but i i think

01:10:00.580 that's what's

01:10:01.080 happening

01:10:01.520 yeah i think

01:10:04.260 you're exactly

01:10:04.780 right and i

01:10:05.680 should say i

01:10:06.280 mean to me

01:10:06.960 i think that

01:10:08.080 the sort of

01:10:09.360 deep politicization

01:10:10.740 of the most

01:10:11.700 ordinary acts

01:10:12.480 like walking

01:10:13.680 on the street

01:10:14.260 or going into

01:10:14.940 a restaurant

01:10:15.460 or whatever

01:10:15.980 is horrible

01:10:16.580 you know i

01:10:17.400 think that

01:10:17.840 people who go

01:10:18.920 out of their

01:10:19.360 way to put

01:10:19.840 on masks

01:10:20.500 to demonstrate

01:10:21.780 some sense

01:10:22.380 of superiority

01:10:23.040 is obnoxious

01:10:24.000 i also think

01:10:24.940 people who

01:10:25.600 say put on

01:10:26.480 a maga hat

01:10:27.160 or let's go

01:10:27.780 brandon shirt

01:10:28.460 or whatever

01:10:28.900 just to piss

01:10:29.960 people off

01:10:30.460 to try to

01:10:30.900 provoke their

01:10:31.620 neighbors

01:10:31.880 that's obnoxious

01:10:33.240 too and i

01:10:33.880 wish we could

01:10:34.320 move beyond

01:10:35.680 that i agree

01:10:36.380 i mean you

01:10:36.800 can wear one

01:10:37.560 but when you

01:10:38.360 wear it just

01:10:38.860 like i've

01:10:39.420 gotta i'm

01:10:40.360 going on the

01:10:40.940 plane to

01:10:41.540 rile everybody

01:10:42.220 up that's

01:10:43.220 obnoxious

01:10:43.920 that is

01:10:44.320 obnoxious

01:10:44.960 fun but

01:10:46.260 obnoxious

01:10:46.920 um the uh

01:10:49.140 uh you come

01:10:50.720 to the conclusion

01:10:51.540 uh that this

01:10:53.240 is going to

01:10:54.180 be just

01:10:55.180 another stupid

01:10:57.080 thing that we

01:10:58.740 you know you

01:10:59.640 wrote no

01:11:00.360 fault divorce

01:11:01.120 factory slice

01:11:02.160 bread frozen

01:11:03.060 meals and of

01:11:03.780 course infant

01:11:04.480 formula are

01:11:05.800 adopted

01:11:06.260 enthusiastically

01:11:07.200 by the upper

01:11:07.840 middle class who

01:11:08.780 then think

01:11:09.800 better of them

01:11:10.820 by the time

01:11:12.180 the lower

01:11:12.760 orders come

01:11:13.460 around

01:11:13.920 yeah um

01:11:16.780 obviously that's

01:11:18.280 uh there's a lot

01:11:19.140 to unpack there

01:11:19.940 but you know

01:11:21.160 one of the most

01:11:22.000 fascinating um

01:11:23.300 conclusions that

01:11:24.520 sociologists have

01:11:25.440 drawn over the

01:11:26.080 last few decades

01:11:26.760 is that divorce

01:11:28.720 divorce is

01:11:29.180 actually not

01:11:29.800 something by

01:11:30.480 and large that

01:11:31.180 upper middle

01:11:31.940 class professionals

01:11:32.760 are doing

01:11:33.400 anymore um

01:11:35.040 divorce if you

01:11:36.100 look at you

01:11:37.780 know where it

01:11:38.520 sort of falls on

01:11:39.400 the class ladder

01:11:40.080 is actually

01:11:40.580 largely concentrated

01:11:41.720 among the lower

01:11:42.560 middle classes you

01:11:43.920 know who used to

01:11:44.680 be the people who

01:11:46.040 were most likely

01:11:46.680 to have you know

01:11:47.820 sort of lifelong

01:11:48.480 stable marriages

01:11:49.560 um and so

01:11:51.840 there's this

01:11:52.300 consistent pattern

01:11:53.220 that plays out

01:11:53.940 where you know

01:11:55.420 the people at

01:11:56.220 the top get

01:11:56.860 enthusiastic about

01:11:57.860 something people

01:11:59.420 a little bit

01:11:59.940 further down are

01:12:00.880 sort of skeptical

01:12:01.600 and the top

01:12:03.800 imposes it on

01:12:04.760 the bottom and

01:12:06.080 then they think

01:12:06.560 better of it and

01:12:07.160 they discarded

01:12:08.000 themselves but

01:12:09.580 everybody else is

01:12:10.300 stuck with it

01:12:10.920 i don't know if

01:12:13.860 that's good because

01:12:14.620 i think that it

01:12:16.540 is generally a lot

01:12:18.240 of the elites that

01:12:19.500 are doing this

01:12:20.740 at this point

01:12:21.620 and i think

01:12:22.440 i've seen a

01:12:23.580 turn um you

01:12:26.000 know i think

01:12:26.540 everybody wanted

01:12:27.220 to do the right

01:12:27.860 thing at the

01:12:28.280 beginning and we

01:12:29.060 all thought the

01:12:30.180 best of each

01:12:30.780 other um and

01:12:32.200 now you know

01:12:34.380 some of these

01:12:34.900 things are just

01:12:35.620 completely you

01:12:37.340 know either

01:12:37.760 unproven or

01:12:38.940 disproven uh to

01:12:40.700 be effective in

01:12:41.540 any way and

01:12:42.880 people are tired

01:12:43.800 of it they're

01:12:44.220 like look i

01:12:44.900 can't live my

01:12:46.060 life in isolation

01:12:47.460 the rest i

01:12:48.220 i'm not doing

01:12:49.040 it i'll live

01:12:50.160 with this and

01:12:51.280 i think that's

01:12:52.020 becoming dominant

01:12:53.380 with omicron what

01:12:55.700 do you see on

01:12:56.680 the horizon

01:12:57.380 i think that

01:13:00.140 what what we're

01:13:01.840 going to see

01:13:02.760 here is that

01:13:03.400 people are

01:13:05.480 finally going to

01:13:06.360 come around to

01:13:07.260 the reality that

01:13:08.620 um you know

01:13:10.680 covet is not

01:13:11.500 like russian

01:13:12.220 roulette i think

01:13:13.260 that's how most

01:13:14.080 people think of

01:13:14.780 it or if it is

01:13:15.840 like russian

01:13:16.380 roulette it's it's

01:13:17.560 playing it with

01:13:18.420 uh some kind

01:13:19.720 of weird gun

01:13:20.340 that has you

01:13:21.640 know uh a

01:13:23.120 couple million

01:13:23.700 chambers in it

01:13:24.540 and the same

01:13:25.920 thing is true of

01:13:26.860 you know of

01:13:27.580 getting in your

01:13:28.320 car for your

01:13:28.980 morning commute

01:13:29.660 you know there

01:13:31.340 is always a

01:13:32.120 non-zero chance

01:13:33.460 that something

01:13:34.300 really bad could

01:13:34.920 happen to you

01:13:35.380 but i think what

01:13:35.840 a lot of this

01:13:36.280 comes down to

01:13:37.080 is just

01:13:38.400 people's varying

01:13:40.100 you know

01:13:41.180 assessments of

01:13:42.660 of risk but

01:13:43.920 i think what

01:13:44.320 we're going

01:13:44.580 to see

01:13:44.940 now is

01:13:45.840 people kind

01:13:47.120 of quietly

01:13:47.700 acknowledging to

01:13:48.340 themselves oh

01:13:48.920 yeah you know

01:13:49.420 what i don't

01:13:50.800 have to be

01:13:51.200 worried about

01:13:51.680 this i can

01:13:52.440 go about my

01:13:53.180 business and

01:13:54.620 i can never be

01:13:55.780 100 sure that

01:13:56.800 nothing bad is

01:13:57.340 going to happen

01:13:57.900 but you know

01:13:59.260 what can you

01:14:00.060 do uh his

01:14:01.340 website is

01:14:02.060 the lamp

01:14:02.560 magazine dot

01:14:03.660 com uh the

01:14:04.820 article we've

01:14:05.300 been talking

01:14:05.640 about was in

01:14:06.180 the atlantic

01:14:06.820 where i live no

01:14:07.640 one cares about

01:14:08.340 covid his name

01:14:09.660 is uh matthew

01:14:10.760 walther thank

01:14:11.860 you matthew i

01:14:12.380 appreciate it

01:14:13.280 thanks one

01:14:14.640 you bet so

01:14:15.600 stew i mean

01:14:16.740 i think he's

01:14:17.340 coming to the

01:14:17.880 same conclusion

01:14:18.520 and it ties

01:14:19.300 into something

01:14:20.280 uh that we

01:14:21.620 talked about

01:14:22.060 yesterday and

01:14:23.000 that is can

01:14:24.740 we can we

01:14:25.220 play the

01:14:25.600 nancy pelosi

01:14:26.420 sought from

01:14:27.600 yesterday this

01:14:28.180 is crazy this

01:14:29.420 is nancy pelosi

01:14:30.680 talking about how

01:14:32.080 crime is just

01:14:32.940 out of hand

01:14:33.500 listen to this

01:14:34.120 you don't have

01:14:37.440 it it was cut

01:14:37.860 two i thought

01:14:38.460 what it is

01:14:39.880 it's it's

01:14:40.680 absolutely

01:14:41.180 outrageous

01:14:41.960 obviously it

01:14:43.520 cannot continue

01:14:44.460 but the fact

01:14:45.820 is that there

01:14:46.560 is an

01:14:47.560 attitude of

01:14:48.680 lawlessness

01:14:50.280 in our

01:14:51.140 country that

01:14:51.680 springs from

01:14:52.440 i don't know

01:14:53.020 where maybe

01:14:54.380 you do

01:14:54.980 yeah we do

01:14:55.860 you and we

01:14:56.640 cannot have

01:14:57.380 that lawlessness

01:14:58.260 become the

01:15:00.120 norm

01:15:00.560 okay

01:15:02.500 so we

01:15:04.580 have yesterday

01:15:05.480 the mayor

01:15:06.780 of san

01:15:07.320 francisco

01:15:07.960 coming out

01:15:08.680 and saying

01:15:09.140 enough is

01:15:09.800 enough enough

01:15:10.780 is enough

01:15:11.280 and this

01:15:12.980 person is

01:15:14.060 you know

01:15:14.400 was was

01:15:15.240 part of the

01:15:16.000 progressive

01:15:16.400 movement she

01:15:17.260 was the one

01:15:17.740 who said

01:15:18.060 we're gonna

01:15:18.400 we're gonna

01:15:19.020 cut our

01:15:20.680 spending for

01:15:21.520 our police

01:15:22.120 we're gonna

01:15:22.440 try something

01:15:22.940 different

01:15:23.420 important to

01:15:23.900 note too

01:15:24.180 that was

01:15:24.520 july

01:15:25.220 yeah of

01:15:25.900 this year

01:15:26.580 yeah only a

01:15:27.340 few months

01:15:27.820 ago they

01:15:28.380 they were

01:15:28.880 still on

01:15:29.400 this you

01:15:30.140 know dissolve

01:15:30.720 the police

01:15:31.280 defund the

01:15:31.860 police sort

01:15:32.440 of direction

01:15:33.680 and that's

01:15:34.820 switched around

01:15:35.760 in a lot of

01:15:37.680 cities just over

01:15:38.400 the past few

01:15:39.020 weeks people are

01:15:40.020 realizing how

01:15:40.740 bad of an

01:15:41.400 idea this

01:15:42.980 was which is

01:15:43.980 hard to

01:15:44.680 understand that

01:15:45.240 it could take

01:15:45.700 more than I

01:15:46.180 don't know

01:15:46.460 eight seconds

01:15:47.200 I know I

01:15:48.020 know just

01:15:48.400 one viewing

01:15:49.640 of the mainly

01:15:50.780 peaceful marches

01:15:52.040 yeah you know

01:15:52.720 what I mean

01:15:53.060 yeah but they

01:15:53.440 were so locked

01:15:54.140 into that

01:15:54.440 politically they

01:15:55.020 couldn't see

01:15:55.900 the negatives

01:15:56.640 and now they're

01:15:57.780 seeing it but

01:15:58.380 they're blaming

01:15:58.900 it on something

01:15:59.600 else they're

01:15:59.960 looking to

01:16:00.340 blame it on

01:16:00.800 anything else

01:16:01.540 but I think

01:16:02.480 this is because

01:16:03.360 and we're gonna

01:16:04.260 talk to Michael

01:16:04.820 Schellenberger

01:16:05.420 he's the

01:16:06.640 author of

01:16:07.420 san francisco

01:16:08.520 we've had him

01:16:09.740 on a couple

01:16:10.520 of times he's

01:16:11.460 been pushing

01:16:12.420 and saying

01:16:12.900 look this

01:16:13.340 has got to

01:16:13.860 stop and

01:16:14.520 he's you

01:16:15.420 know kind

01:16:15.760 of on the

01:16:16.180 left he

01:16:17.120 started he

01:16:17.620 used to be

01:16:18.120 in the

01:16:18.440 movement that

01:16:19.220 the progressive

01:16:19.960 movement about

01:16:20.940 things like

01:16:21.680 homelessness and

01:16:22.360 stuff he was

01:16:22.720 an activist in

01:16:23.420 that area and

01:16:24.320 I mean in some

01:16:25.080 ways I guess he

01:16:25.560 still is but

01:16:26.220 he's just saying

01:16:26.680 that like those

01:16:27.520 approaches that

01:16:28.240 progressives want

01:16:29.180 don't work we

01:16:30.480 need to change

01:16:30.900 don't work yeah

01:16:31.700 and I want to I

01:16:33.520 want him to talk

01:16:34.220 about what it

01:16:35.020 took to change

01:16:35.760 but he'll go

01:16:37.160 into detail what

01:16:38.880 happened to this

01:16:39.660 mayor this mayor

01:16:41.820 was approached by

01:16:43.300 people average

01:16:45.460 people that got

01:16:47.080 together and said

01:16:48.180 enough is enough

01:16:49.420 enough is enough

01:16:50.860 and the pressure

01:16:51.600 started on her and 0.83

01:16:53.560 that's that's what

01:16:54.880 she says changed

01:16:56.920 her is seeing

01:16:57.880 people and I

01:16:58.520 think this is

01:16:59.520 happening all

01:17:00.260 across America

01:17:01.220 even in progressive

01:17:03.400 san francisco people

01:17:05.540 are waking up

01:17:06.180 that's very very

01:17:07.240 good news

01:17:11.420 around the corner

01:17:23.000 money difficult

01:17:24.080 thing to do but

01:17:37.120 to drastically

01:17:39.000 cut tapering

01:18:29.080 see a and I've been

01:18:30.960 looking for this for a

01:18:31.920 long time a group

01:18:33.320 of people that

01:18:34.100 believe in let's

01:18:36.140 say the bill of

01:18:36.760 rights that

01:18:38.320 understand individual

01:18:39.420 rights but also

01:18:40.140 understand that the

01:18:42.000 system that we have

01:18:43.580 the way it is

01:18:44.360 currently operating

01:18:45.600 is not working

01:18:47.460 and mainly because

01:18:48.980 of violations of

01:18:50.380 the bill of rights

01:18:51.120 but there's also

01:18:52.120 other things that

01:18:53.080 are happening in

01:18:53.740 society that we

01:18:54.620 need to take a

01:18:55.480 new look at and

01:18:57.180 figure it out you

01:18:58.860 know there are so

01:18:59.580 many people who

01:19:01.020 are homeless who

01:19:01.960 are really

01:19:02.660 seriously disturbed

01:19:04.820 how do we how

01:19:07.500 do we deal with

01:19:08.240 that how do we

01:19:10.660 how do we deal

01:19:11.900 with the

01:19:12.380 homelessness in

01:19:13.800 California the

01:19:15.680 one thing you

01:19:16.300 don't do is what

01:19:17.340 California has done

01:19:18.520 and just made it

01:19:19.560 like hey you can

01:19:20.540 do whatever you

01:19:21.120 want you can crap 0.98

01:19:22.000 over here you can

01:19:22.920 be shooting drugs

01:19:23.860 and everything's

01:19:24.940 fine because it's

01:19:25.620 not fine it's not

01:19:27.160 fine we're going to

01:19:28.720 talk to Michael

01:19:29.880 Schellenberger next

01:19:31.300 he is the author

01:19:32.240 of San Francisco

01:19:33.280 he is he's a guy

01:19:35.700 who was when we

01:19:36.900 first did our

01:19:37.840 special on CNN

01:19:39.420 on global warming

01:19:40.540 he was known as

01:19:42.920 the environmental

01:19:44.540 justice warrior

01:19:45.960 he was the savior

01:19:47.700 of the planet

01:19:48.460 around that time

01:19:49.340 wasn't he

01:19:49.760 yeah he went

01:19:50.920 through a long

01:19:51.440 career of activism

01:19:52.520 on on global

01:19:53.960 warming and as

01:19:56.120 you know he'll

01:19:56.580 tell you the story

01:19:57.240 but he you know

01:19:57.840 he believed a lot

01:19:59.020 of that hype

01:19:59.860 about it and

01:20:01.220 and recognizes

01:20:02.660 that you know

01:20:04.140 when after looking

01:20:04.760 at all the data

01:20:05.340 that it just

01:20:05.880 doesn't prove

01:20:06.420 out it's not

01:20:07.040 even in you

01:20:08.120 know it's not

01:20:08.680 like being skeptical

01:20:09.680 of their science

01:20:10.740 their science

01:20:11.340 doesn't even say

01:20:11.980 this stuff it

01:20:12.620 doesn't so he

01:20:13.800 went through all

01:20:14.320 the claims and

01:20:14.960 has some amazing

01:20:15.660 interviews and

01:20:16.260 moments in there

01:20:16.980 where I mean some

01:20:18.160 of the time some

01:20:18.840 of the things you've

01:20:19.240 heard like AOC

01:20:20.080 say he instead

01:20:21.780 of just debating

01:20:23.400 it like everybody

01:20:24.240 else does he

01:20:25.520 just actually got

01:20:26.800 an interview with

01:20:27.560 the scientists who

01:20:28.400 supposedly said it

01:20:29.420 and then that

01:20:30.160 scientist said oh

01:20:31.220 I didn't say that

01:20:32.140 that's not what it

01:20:32.860 means at all

01:20:33.420 everybody who's

01:20:34.340 repeating that is

01:20:34.920 wrong like it's

01:20:36.320 that that clear so

01:20:37.840 it's pretty interesting

01:20:38.560 the work that he's

01:20:39.380 done on that topic

01:20:40.140 and he has sort of

01:20:41.280 the same journey I

01:20:41.940 think with this and

01:20:43.200 that he was very

01:20:44.780 active in the in

01:20:45.740 the movement early

01:20:47.600 on to try to solve

01:20:49.120 some of these

01:20:49.640 problems of extended

01:20:50.840 homelessness and these

01:20:52.060 issues and it was

01:20:53.800 on the progressive

01:20:54.320 side and he now is

01:20:56.160 looking at these

01:20:56.560 things with a totally

01:20:57.180 different eye and

01:20:57.800 he's come up with

01:20:58.380 really detailed

01:20:59.040 solutions to it

01:21:00.420 because this stuff is

01:21:01.760 not going away if we

01:21:03.140 continue to treat

01:21:03.920 this like we should

01:21:06.660 use our streets as

01:21:08.200 both the residents

01:21:09.760 and bathroom of 0.98

01:21:11.180 homeless people in

01:21:12.080 every one of these

01:21:12.660 big cities this is

01:21:14.160 going to turn out

01:21:14.640 really badly and it

01:21:15.740 already is yeah

01:21:16.920 that already is he

01:21:17.880 lives there by the

01:21:18.560 way he's he's he's

01:21:19.460 dealing with it in an

01:21:20.340 everyday basis here's

01:21:21.440 the really fascinating

01:21:22.840 thing to me is right

01:21:25.080 now we have the

01:21:25.960 opportunity to think

01:21:27.240 outside of the box

01:21:28.260 and really meet with

01:21:29.900 big thinkers on both

01:21:31.900 sides because the the

01:21:34.980 crowd hasn't come yet

01:21:36.520 the big thinkers are

01:21:38.100 coming and they're

01:21:38.640 like look my what I've

01:21:40.180 been advocating doesn't

01:21:41.480 work clearly doesn't

01:21:42.980 work and we've got to

01:21:43.860 find something new and

01:21:45.360 some of the things you

01:21:46.400 guys have been

01:21:46.900 advocating seem to

01:21:48.660 work what can we do

01:21:51.720 what can we do

01:21:52.960 together and that's

01:21:55.420 a really rare

01:21:57.460 opportunity but it's

01:21:59.360 going to be those

01:21:59.920 people coming together

01:22:01.080 from both sides and

01:22:02.380 sitting through those

01:22:03.980 uncomfortable moments

01:22:05.220 going I really

01:22:07.180 disagree with you on

01:22:08.260 this particular sliver

01:22:10.140 but let's find the

01:22:12.420 things that we do

01:22:13.320 agree on to move

01:22:15.240 forward

01:22:15.720 there's something

01:22:22.720 really exciting going

01:22:24.120 on the world is the

01:22:26.900 world is changing and

01:22:29.380 people who have been

01:22:31.840 hardcore lefties are

01:22:35.020 now starting to go

01:22:35.900 wait a minute wait a

01:22:36.840 minute hang on some of

01:22:38.340 this stuff isn't

01:22:38.960 working and we have a

01:22:40.280 real opportunity to talk

01:22:41.640 to people who were

01:22:43.040 were dedicated on the

01:22:44.500 other side I mean not

01:22:45.240 radical revolutionary

01:22:46.300 you know kind of

01:22:47.320 people but but people

01:22:49.900 who believed in

01:22:51.060 different things than

01:22:52.100 we believed in they

01:22:53.740 are now saying wait I

01:22:54.740 may have more in

01:22:56.300 common with you than I

01:22:57.920 thought and we can

01:22:59.820 actually find our path

01:23:01.880 towards one another

01:23:02.900 because the world has

01:23:05.780 changed I don't want to

01:23:07.560 throw out the bill of

01:23:08.500 rights or the

01:23:09.100 constitution but other

01:23:10.980 than that I'm pretty

01:23:12.240 willing to listen and

01:23:14.300 find a new path and

01:23:15.860 what's happening is the

01:23:17.520 left is starting to

01:23:19.200 cave and say gee I

01:23:22.100 don't I don't know why

01:23:23.200 our cities are on fire I

01:23:25.020 don't know why everybody

01:23:26.080 is killing each other and 0.80

01:23:27.660 that but that's got to

01:23:28.880 stop well it just

01:23:30.280 happened in San

01:23:31.980 Francisco with the mayor

01:23:33.240 of San Francisco a guy

01:23:35.220 who has been calling for

01:23:37.160 this is Michael

01:25:26.560 really good Michael welcome

01:25:28.240 to the program how are you

01:25:29.320 sir I'm great thanks for

01:25:30.700 having me Glenn you bet

01:25:31.720 so this is this is a good

01:25:35.020 thing that's happening from

01:25:37.160 your point of view I would

01:25:38.200 imagine San Francisco is

01:25:40.580 starting to come to their

01:25:41.420 senses I mean we're

01:25:43.440 thrilled I mean what can I

01:25:44.500 say I mean it's incredible

01:25:45.720 to see the San Francisco

01:25:47.020 mayor got up she said in 1.00

01:25:48.540 very blunt terms that things

01:25:50.340 had to change she explicitly

01:25:52.840 called for tough love she

01:25:54.660 used that those words tough

01:25:56.440 love and then she used an

01:25:58.840 expletive which I won't use

01:26:00.380 she said BS she said we're

01:26:02.820 not going to tolerate this

01:26:03.920 BS anymore and it was a

01:26:06.820 very strong speech I mean

01:26:08.600 look there's a lot of

01:26:09.640 reasons to be skeptical I've

01:26:11.520 read 30 years of you know

01:26:13.720 30 years of proposals coming

01:26:15.220 out of the San Francisco

01:26:15.940 government promising to do

01:26:17.340 this but it's clear she's

01:26:19.540 staked her political future

01:26:21.140 on what she does next and

01:26:23.620 it's just given a lot of

01:26:24.640 momentum to the critics of

01:26:26.500 this kind of radical

01:26:27.580 progressive left nonsense

01:26:30.640 defund the police that

01:26:32.580 demoralized and demonized

01:26:34.300 police and that resulted in

01:26:35.860 this crime surge we're

01:26:36.840 seeing we also saw the

01:26:38.500 former mayor of Philadelphia

01:26:39.840 come out and criticize the

01:26:41.500 left-wing DA for for for

01:26:44.020 basically dismissing the fact

01:26:47.220 that we're in a crime wave at

01:26:48.900 all I mean much of the left

01:26:50.900 has been in denial that we're

01:26:52.760 in the midst of record homicide

01:26:54.360 levels in many cities right you

01:26:57.400 know incredible amounts of

01:26:58.540 crime going on all of it

01:27:00.060 created by progressive

01:27:02.240 policies all of it allowed by

01:27:03.920 progressive policies so to see

01:27:05.420 this backlash now coming

01:27:06.880 including from the heart of

01:27:08.240 progressivism is really quite

01:27:09.860 inspiring so I want to play

01:27:11.480 something from Nancy Pelosi

01:27:12.720 because it goes to the mayor of

01:27:15.560 of San Francisco and here's what

01:27:19.120 she said yesterday Nancy Pelosi

01:27:20.680 what it is it's it's absolutely

01:27:23.060 outrageous you know obviously

01:27:25.100 it cannot continue but the fact

01:27:27.700 is that there is an attitude of

01:27:30.540 lawlessness in our country that

01:27:33.540 springs from I don't know where

01:27:35.240 maybe you do yes I do and we

01:27:38.480 cannot have that lawlessness so

01:27:40.860 here's the here's the thing she's

01:27:42.860 she's claiming she doesn't know

01:27:44.760 what's caused this lawlessness it

01:27:46.420 has been her and people like her who

01:27:49.320 have allowed people to set fire to

01:27:51.260 our cities and it's the

01:27:53.440 progressive policies now this

01:27:56.140 particular mayor it was I think in

01:27:58.480 June that she said you know I'm

01:28:02.180 all in we're cutting the budgets

01:28:03.540 we're doing all kinds of different

01:28:05.040 things what's how has she changed

01:28:07.420 what happened to her that make her 1.00

01:28:09.000 that has given her this pivot point 0.79

01:28:12.020 well you know Glenn there's this

01:28:13.900 famous old slogan from I think the

01:28:16.380 70s which is liberals become

01:28:19.520 conservatives when they're mugged by

01:28:21.140 reality and I think that's just

01:28:23.740 what's happened here I mean yeah it's

01:28:25.700 striking you remember San Francisco

01:28:26.940 and and Mayor Breed was one of the

01:28:29.740 first progressive mayors to call for

01:28:32.740 defunding the police she announced

01:28:34.580 120 million dollars in cuts to the

01:28:37.860 budgets of both the San Francisco

01:28:39.160 Police and Sheriff's Department just

01:28:40.620 last year I mean we've seen the

01:28:43.240 results on the ground I mean things

01:28:44.560 are absolutely chaotic it's hard to

01:28:46.820 describe if you're not here but we

01:28:48.440 have you know obviously the older

01:28:50.900 and worsening problem of street

01:28:53.680 addiction open-air drug scenes open-air

01:28:56.580 drug markets with violence there's

01:28:59.760 homicides have obviously increased all 1.00

01:29:02.740 around the country certainly in the

01:29:04.140 Bay Area particularly in Oakland but

01:29:05.820 also in San Francisco and then we've

01:29:08.620 seen this just greater audacity and

01:29:11.080 brazenness of this really looting you

01:29:14.700 know these smash-and-grab robberies

01:29:16.380 organized on snapchat thieves going

01:29:19.680 into luxury department stores stealing

01:29:22.880 designer handbags and really giving

01:29:24.980 lie to the claim by AOC and others on

01:29:28.820 the progressive left who claimed that oh

01:29:31.840 that these are just poor people stealing

01:29:33.600 bread to survive I mean these are folks

01:29:35.500 that are stealing luxury handbags for

01:29:37.480 money so it's and then selling them

01:29:39.980 openly on the street and not being

01:29:43.800 hassled right yeah that's right exactly

01:29:46.400 I mean you know when you and I talked

01:29:48.580 before this all boils down to a victim

01:29:51.280 ideology the idea that you can divide

01:29:54.060 the world and people in the world into

01:29:56.100 victims and oppressors and that to the

01:29:58.680 victims everything should be given and

01:30:00.720 nothing required and that means that

01:30:03.520 they basically you know started the DA has

01:30:06.120 stopped enforcing many laws against

01:30:08.400 people that they they deem to be

01:30:10.420 victims whether they're drug addicts

01:30:12.100 mentally ill people people breaking

01:30:15.220 laws and that's what's given basically

01:30:17.940 permission to all of this increased

01:30:20.220 criminal activity so do you think that

01:30:24.220 this is another shell game I mean look

01:30:27.280 there are there are Marxists that want a

01:30:30.480 completely different system I think there

01:30:33.400 are people that call themselves progressives

01:30:36.020 uh that don't really understand what the

01:30:38.860 progressive movement really kind of

01:30:40.440 turned into um but they they do agree

01:30:44.220 with the bill of rights they do agree with

01:30:46.820 law and order um and they they you know they

01:30:51.720 they believe in a lot of the same things I

01:30:54.520 do which category is she in do you think is

01:30:59.500 this just another Marxist progressive that is

01:31:04.120 now just going to try to hang on to power or

01:31:07.500 do you think real changes are open or on

01:31:09.920 the table here I mean you're asking exactly

01:31:12.540 the right question which is there's a lot

01:31:15.060 of progressive people that kind of go back

01:31:16.820 and forth with one of two views I mean one

01:31:18.780 view is I would call it a more liberal view

01:31:20.760 which you believe that hey we all have the

01:31:23.440 same police we should all be under the same

01:31:26.460 laws this is the foundation of our

01:31:28.980 constitution it's the foundation of our

01:31:30.560 civilization which is uh equal rights under

01:31:33.360 the law there's another view which says no

01:31:36.760 we have to have this radical change we need

01:31:39.500 to get rid of the police we need to have some

01:31:41.640 completely different group of people in that

01:31:44.160 role the laws should be enforced differently

01:31:46.820 depending on your your identity or your

01:31:49.860 experience and you know you can see the

01:31:52.860 difference it's like there's one you know

01:31:54.720 one set of people want to reform the police

01:31:57.180 who doesn't want that who doesn't want to

01:31:58.940 make the police better there's another group

01:32:00.560 that want to just get rid of them and I

01:32:02.440 think that when you see heavily emotional

01:32:04.420 moments like last year the George Floyd

01:32:06.360 video nobody could watch that and not be

01:32:08.980 horrified by it nobody could watch that

01:32:10.620 and not want to see police reform correct

01:32:12.780 but that in those emotional environments

01:32:14.440 the radical left takes advantage of

01:32:16.660 people's genuine sympathies and genuine

01:32:19.820 empathies particularly liberals they

01:32:22.300 manipulate them to suggest that we should

01:32:24.160 somehow abolish the police or defund the

01:32:26.580 police in fact the research shows very

01:32:28.420 clearly that if you want to reduce police

01:32:31.220 violence you actually have to fund the

01:32:34.080 police you actually need more police

01:32:35.620 officers so that they have the time to get

01:32:37.400 the training that they need

01:32:38.560 Michael in your book you you had I'm going

01:32:41.540 to try to remember the anecdote but you you

01:32:43.500 talked to someone and you did a bunch of

01:32:45.980 interviews for this book and I thought it

01:32:47.740 was really illustrative of what what the issue

01:32:50.340 is here and it was about someone a theoretical

01:32:53.160 situation where a frat boy a hammered drunk

01:32:56.240 frat boy comes out in front of somebody's

01:32:58.180 house and goes to the bathroom on the

01:32:59.800 sidewalk versus the actual problems that

01:33:02.420 are going on in San Francisco really with

01:33:04.920 homeless people and others doing that same

01:33:07.200 thing and it seems like they're advocating

01:33:09.320 for completely different treatments of

01:33:11.420 these people as if one is really bad and

01:33:14.700 one isn't yeah you got it I mean this was

01:33:17.440 you're referring to this conversation where

01:33:19.320 I confront an elite attorney with the ACLU

01:33:23.740 and I say so you're saying that you

01:33:26.480 shouldn't enforce laws against a public

01:33:28.340 defecation if the person that's doing it

01:33:31.140 is mentally ill or addicted to hard drugs

01:33:34.400 and she said well you have to make a

01:33:35.940 judgment I mean if it's a frat guy

01:33:37.700 urinating in my driveway then he should be

01:33:40.060 arrested but if it's somebody with mental

01:33:41.820 illness that you send out a social worker

01:33:45.340 and you know first of all that's just not

01:33:48.120 actually how that's not the best way to

01:33:50.280 deal with the problem I talk about how

01:33:52.720 Europe deals with it very liberal Europe

01:33:54.960 you arrest people for committing crimes

01:33:58.100 and yes at at the jailhouse in front of

01:34:01.140 the judge with a psychiatrist they are

01:34:03.420 evaluated for whether or not they have a

01:34:05.600 mental illness or a drug addiction and

01:34:08.300 often the alternative is rehab or

01:34:11.260 psychiatric care if they're mentally ill but

01:34:13.480 we don't do that and we stop doing that

01:34:16.140 exactly and we've actually I think we've

01:34:18.660 made it worse we've then given them free

01:34:21.500 homes and you know a free apartment with

01:34:24.640 absolutely no responsibilities no

01:34:27.920 responsibilities you don't have to become

01:34:29.920 clean and sober you can just keep doing

01:34:31.520 what you're doing but now you're inside

01:34:32.700 you got it and in San Francisco I describe

01:34:36.240 how giving cash giving housing to people

01:34:40.060 serious mental illness and addiction with

01:34:42.380 no accountability results in worsening of

01:34:46.320 their disease and often death and so but

01:34:49.720 at bottom it's this idea that somehow the

01:34:52.300 law should be enforced differently or that

01:34:55.760 people should not be arrested for certain

01:34:57.640 crimes when in fact it's actually arresting

01:35:00.300 people for those crimes that often gets them

01:35:02.500 the help that they need while of course also

01:35:05.060 protecting public spaces public dignity you

01:35:10.480 know and and cities themselves so it's

01:35:13.000 really they've created the worst of both

01:35:15.140 worlds they both created increased human

01:35:16.980 suffering and the destruction of our

01:35:18.560 greatest cities so out of those two

01:35:20.260 categories of people the ones who just

01:35:22.560 want radical change and and those who just

01:35:26.040 are seeing problems and you know want to fix

01:35:29.540 things but they're within parameters where is

01:35:32.480 this do you feel the movement of the first

01:35:37.300 category do you feel like that is starting

01:35:40.120 to change and they are starting to say

01:35:42.540 look I I think there's a difference between

01:35:45.140 a Democrat and you guys or a yeah I think

01:35:49.700 for sure I mean you know it's a breed the

01:35:51.980 thing that's been happening is that the

01:35:54.080 progressives came to power in San Francisco

01:35:56.500 and breed even though she's mayor she's a 1.00

01:35:59.460 weak mayor not due to any fault of her own but

01:36:02.400 because the system gives her very little

01:36:04.400 power she's on this broader board of 0.98

01:36:06.040 supervisors that's controlled by

01:36:07.320 progressives breed is sort of the last

01:36:10.060 generation of the moderates and she's been

01:36:12.420 outgunned really for years by the

01:36:14.460 progressives so I think what we're seeing

01:36:17.020 is moderates coming back you know you sort

01:36:19.780 of ask what will the future bring this is a

01:36:22.420 really dynamic moment it's a really chaotic

01:36:24.620 moment so truly we don't know it depends

01:36:28.540 on what all of us do I mean I you know we've

01:36:31.000 organized parents of kids killed by

01:36:32.740 fentanyl parents of kids addicted to hard

01:36:35.740 drugs and clean fentanyl on the streets as

01:36:37.280 well as recovering addicts we've created a

01:36:39.020 coalition called the California Peace

01:36:40.540 Coalition we're actually scaling up

01:36:42.920 nationwide because there's been so much

01:36:44.560 demand for this nationally we've put a lot

01:36:47.300 of pressure on these guys privately

01:36:49.740 publicly we've held protests of drug dealers

01:36:52.340 in LA and in San Francisco and I tell you

01:36:55.620 it's had an impact I mean the response from

01:36:57.740 people to our protests was basically what

01:37:00.780 took you so long yeah you know and and we

01:37:03.420 were like look we were the first ones

01:37:04.740 protesting drug dealers but I think it had

01:37:07.100 an impact we've also seen the communities

01:37:09.480 most affected by open-air drug dealing

01:37:11.580 which of course are poor communities

01:37:14.160 mostly minority communities they've now

01:37:16.840 started having marches and protests and

01:37:19.300 what's so interesting Glenn is that that's

01:37:21.080 exactly what worked in other parts of the

01:37:23.800 world including the Netherlands including

01:37:25.600 in Europe is that it took the communities

01:37:27.580 the people themselves from those 0.98

01:37:29.840 neighborhoods getting organized demanding

01:37:31.700 change that's what's led the mayor to

01:37:34.320 take the action she did the crime

01:37:36.240 obviously wasn't enough it really took

01:37:38.860 this kind of outrage this action by the

01:37:41.320 people by the parents by those

01:37:43.420 communities to get this change of heart

01:37:45.940 by the mayor yeah I read a story in the

01:37:47.560 New York Post today that said that it was

01:37:49.620 those it was the people from the

01:37:51.540 community and she was forced to look at it

01:37:54.940 and and and would attend and would

01:37:57.680 actually talk to people and she was like

01:37:59.960 you know what we're wrong on this we got

01:38:02.300 to move towards the people and the people

01:38:04.060 usually have the answer it's just whether

01:38:07.100 or not the politician is humble enough to

01:38:09.400 listen to the people Michael thank you so

01:38:11.580 much for everything you do and and have a

01:38:14.160 great holiday season thanks so much for

01:38:16.800 having me back on Glenn you too happy

01:38:18.100 holiday you bet Michael Schellenberger he

01:38:20.300 is the author of San Francisco and the

01:38:23.680 founder and president of environmental

01:38:25.320 progress all of the things that you

01:38:27.680 would think I really don't like but I find

01:38:30.480 this guy very very reasonable and you

01:38:33.820 know he's the author of apocalypse never

01:38:35.600 which is you got to have that book too

01:38:38.040 yeah you have to have both of them are

01:38:39.740 really really great apocalypse never has

01:38:41.560 so many things you'll go back to over and

01:38:43.520 over and over again when you're debating

01:38:45.020 the environment with your friends yeah and

01:38:46.680 he was the guy who time magazine said is

01:38:49.300 the hero of the environment won the green

01:38:51.640 book of the year in 2008 started doing

01:38:54.100 more and more research and he was like

01:38:55.440 this this is not that what they're saying

01:38:57.060 is not true yes the environment is

01:38:59.300 important and in trouble but it's not

01:39:02.580 going to kill us all it's not like what

01:39:04.200 they're saying and I don't know if any of

01:39:06.180 these solutions that they are saying are

01:39:08.620 the good right solutions the guy is an

01:39:11.240 honest broker of information and we have

01:39:14.820 far too few of those especially on those

01:39:18.480 who came from the progressive left

01:39:20.720 Michael Schellenberger is his name back

01:39:22.880 in a minute now if you know anything

01:39:26.180 about me you know that I love eating

01:39:44.040 or Lisa Stu's wife and they can tell you

01:39:47.840 about healthy snacks yeah that's what

01:40:03.700 today and just pass by then I was really

01:40:08.040 desperate for something to eat and built

01:40:10.760 bars were in the refrigerator and my wife 0.98

01:40:12.900 had been saying and so I because there

01:40:16.960 was nothing else to eat I decided I would

01:40:19.000 snack on one I think I ended up with

01:40:21.520 about half of the box and passed out with

01:40:24.980 real chocolate on my face and built bars

01:41:44.560 we're at the border to support law enforcement

01:41:47.360 so we took a ton of resources down Glenn because

01:41:49.600 we fight child child trafficking but particularly

01:41:52.200 with taking resources down I wanted to document

01:41:55.000 once and for all the process end to end from the

01:41:58.960 other side of Mexico what what the journey a child

01:42:02.000 takes with the illegal flights the buses the

01:42:05.380 trips and so we were documenting this whole

01:42:07.420 process and in the middle of documenting the

01:42:09.460 process as it would be we follow the bus to the to

01:42:12.780 the border patrol processing center in Del Rio

01:42:16.200 and the bus enters we're filming the bus all legal

01:42:19.760 border patrol came out said hey thanks for all your

01:42:22.180 help and support just don't you know come on to the

01:42:25.100 premises stay where you are good as the bus

01:42:27.720 enters a border patrol officer in his Toyota Tundra truck

01:42:32.340 exits the facility stops cold looks at our group

01:42:37.780 makes eye contact with one of our our members our

01:42:41.000 senior members in our team and floors his vehicle and

01:42:44.800 wheels out peels out and whips the vehicle right and

01:42:49.220 strikes one of our senior members runs her over but the

01:42:53.040 interesting thing is there's 10 of us standing in the

01:42:55.700 group he misses me by four inches somehow misses seven

01:43:00.800 other people yeah it's frightening frightening video but

01:43:14.120 them and now the state is involved great story to follow up this is the

01:43:21.920 Glenn Beck program remember the hard-working God-fearing

01:45:11.560 all right we're sitting here watching some amazing video from Jaco Buens he is the president and founder

01:45:19.400 of share together now dot org you were covering the crisis on the border because you are watching

01:45:26.600 I mean it is clear child trafficking is happening at an enormous rate and so you were tracking all the

01:45:36.340 way from the Mexican side all the way to here in America and not just to the border guard but also

01:45:45.320 they're going to put them on a plane and they're going to send them someplace else to Florida to

01:45:50.260 Alexandria Airport in in right in in Louisiana up to wherever in the US the process of the children

01:45:58.720 coming into the country making the point that the the notion that we can keep every child safe

01:46:05.560 that our president made that notion is is incorrect and and these children end up in the hands of

01:46:12.280 traffickers in the US so now you're following the bus and you go to one of the stations for the border

01:46:19.440 patrol where they're processing these kids you follow the bus but you don't go in no um one of the border

01:46:24.720 people come out and say hey thanks for the support blah blah blah and uh you're standing there on the edge

01:46:30.140 and I'm going to show a video you'll be able to hear what it's doing a truck comes out uh like a ram

01:46:37.360 truck or something Toyota Tundra okay and um this uh Toyota comes out it has a border guard in it

01:46:45.260 you can see his face he pulls up he stops he looks at somebody who is with you yeah I've seen a member

01:46:53.100 of our team a female okay and who's filming the bus right she's filming and he slams down the 1.00

01:47:01.920 accelerator you'll hear the car peel out and then you'll hear the thump of her being hit listen watch

01:47:08.820 there's the bus going in now comes the border patrol agent and apparently his personal truck

01:47:17.460 I mean that's incredible wow wow he threw a truck at her he threw a truck at her oh my god 0.96

01:47:27.540 I mean that's that's insane yeah and for what reason doesn't know us and if he did for a minute

01:47:38.780 all we do is support law enforcement but then he flees the scene of the crime he gets chased down

01:47:44.760 to a red light flees again and it turns into a massive debacle because he is a border patrol agent

01:47:52.160 in uniform um very unfortunate when you look at the video too he's not even looking forward where

01:48:01.240 you would normally look when you're driving he's looking directly like with eye contact at this

01:48:05.900 woman who just tries to run over yeah stops his vehicle comes to a stop looks at her and the stop 1.00

01:48:11.320 is protocol for them and I found that out yeah because the gate has to close behind them so that

01:48:15.960 no one can sneak into the gate so he follows that protocol so he's at least with wherewithal for that

01:48:21.580 yeah and he knows I mean he's clearly looking at you guys on the corner and there's 10 people that

01:48:27.880 he's looking at he's not just looking at he's looking at at this particular woman but he but

01:48:32.320 you don't see he misses me by six inches maybe enough for me to to touch the truck to slap the side of

01:48:37.700 the truck to yell stop because you just struck a human being with your vehicle so um now you might say

01:48:45.760 and this is this this will separate this show from the left and the rest of media you might say that

01:48:53.440 that guy thought you were a bunch of lefties that were trying to you know do bad things to the border

01:48:59.480 patrol even if that's true I hope he goes to jail um you don't you just don't do that yeah you say

01:49:08.740 that you just think this is something that is showing how close they are just to snapping the pressure

01:49:14.100 they're under you know Glenn you do such a great job you and Stu on this show of just connecting

01:49:18.040 dots for America you do an amazing job so if we just continue that thread connecting dots

01:49:22.420 earlier that day and the day before I have interviews with state troopers and what you

01:49:28.020 have to remember is not just border patrol we're using state troopers national guard texas guard this

01:49:33.700 is this is copy book the message on the border anybody you talk to sir we are here to support

01:49:40.020 the refugees and I say son he's 25 no you signed up for the u.s national guard for a different reason

01:49:45.760 than that sir we're here to support the refugees then you could say but they're not refugees sir

01:49:51.340 we're here to support the refugees and what that says to me and I look at this the pressure that our

01:49:56.240 law enforcement agents on the border are under because of the administration the message and and the

01:50:02.460 and the edict and the mantra from the Biden administration they're going to crack you're going to see this

01:50:09.260 happen more and more and more we're seeing border patrol agents commit suicide this is a result

01:50:14.920 I believe of an unholy pressure that's on our law enforcement from the administration because can you

01:50:21.180 imagine every day after day I'll show you kids being fished out of the river if you see that as a border 0.70

01:50:27.800 patrol agent and you know you're not deterring illegal immigration that pressure is going to mount up

01:50:33.540 something's going to snap but you are pressing charges against him yes and so this is federal

01:50:40.460 so the district attorney is taking it it's even in the attorney general of texas's office at the moment

01:50:45.720 and the charges against him by the state not even by us is aggravated assault with a deadly weapon which

01:50:53.500 is a felony and then second felony fleeing the scene of a crime there's going to be a civil suit by the

01:50:59.440 woman who was struck by the vehicle rightfully so but there's a federal suit that's got even got 1.00

01:51:05.060 nothing to do with her so he's he's in serious hot water at this moment and he do we know anything

01:51:10.320 about him and his record yeah we do um and look it's public knowledge his name's roberto duran no

01:51:16.680 reference to the boxer right okay but but and and he's been with border patrol for a long time they call

01:51:22.600 bobby and to what we know no prior behavior like this which again tells me it's just is the snapping

01:51:30.000 these guys are snapping that he doesn't know us he's never had any interaction if he knows anything

01:51:34.360 about us glenn you know he'll know these guys are with us they fight for us the day before we delivered

01:51:40.000 goods to border patrol physical resources right so i think this is it's unfortunate he has to of course

01:51:47.180 he acted as an individual and we'll see whether the state feels that that the pressure was he was

01:51:53.280 whatever whatever doesn't matter he still still should pay for a crime i mean you know fleeing the

01:51:59.600 scene is uh is almost as bad as the first one i mean you know two bad decisions yeah you make a

01:52:06.560 mistake you don't flee the you don't flee the scene and i think the peeling out of the tires

01:52:11.980 intentional yeah speaks uh speaks uh volumes yeah yeah yako thank you for everything that uh

01:52:19.280 you're doing let me ask you one more question when they filed this i have heard that because you had

01:52:25.800 nine eyewitnesses nine eyewitnesses who had sworn affidavits on site pd took this very serious pd

01:52:33.680 separated himself from border patrol because pd can't arrest them it's got to come from washington

01:52:37.700 it's a whole it's a debacle unfortunately glenn when that case was filed by pd to the district

01:52:45.020 attorney's office yesterday they omitted to enter the eyewitness reports or the video

01:52:51.460 how is that possible it's not i mean it's possible if it's done intentional it's not in the case file

01:52:57.780 so now we had to go to the district attorney also notified the attorney general to say look

01:53:03.000 nine eyewitnesses signed affidavits on site none of it's in the case file it's a problem

01:53:10.040 there's so much cover-up at the border glenn there's so much i mean it's it's insane what's

01:53:16.260 happening down there guys who are working on the border you can't just let things fall where they

01:53:25.540 fall let the chips fall where they may please we the i believe most people in the united states

01:53:34.740 are with the border patrol yeah you start covering you start doing anything like this i know the

01:53:42.740 pressure i know but you've got to be on the up and up and i and i really truly don't think i believe

01:53:49.720 and i know 99 of our our border patrol our you know law enforcement officials etc etc are good guys

01:54:00.000 don't make excuses for the bad guys let the chips fall where they may we've got to have somebody we

01:54:07.520 trust and if you start doing stuff like this you'll lose our trust and then what do we have what do we

01:54:14.400 have yakko thank you so much thank you thank you steve keep us up to speed on uh on what happens

01:54:19.740 it's become very apparent in recent months that uh what the current administration lacks in knowledge

01:54:27.780 on what causes inflation it also lacks the knowledge of what it what it takes to fix it

01:54:33.720 now the problem is the fed came out yesterday and said that they're going to raise interest rates

01:54:39.040 three times uh significantly raise interest rates is what they said uh three times next year okay

01:54:46.240 that's good however they're also tapering all of the free money that they've been given to the backdoor

01:54:55.300 um and uh so they're now everybody's on their own nobody's getting a bailout those two things are

01:55:03.160 going to be very very bad because we've done too much the fed is afraid they don't have

01:55:08.920 any bullets that will actually work to get this thing under control without collapsing the economy

01:55:15.640 we are in that place where we could collapse quickly and the dollar could spiral out of control

01:55:22.640 quickly please do yourself a favor and at least find out the information on gold and silver

01:55:31.460 can you diversify and protect some of your retirement your 401k or your ira

01:55:38.720 you have a self-directed ira acquisition you can get six percent in promotional metals for

01:55:46.080 qualifying self-directed ira acquisition so you can you can buy them uh and get extra metal

01:55:53.860 it is worth at least investigating please please please the dollar will become worthless when that

01:56:03.600 happens you don't want to be holding everything you have in dollars 866 gold line 866 gold line or

01:56:10.460 goldline.com the glenn beck program

01:56:15.200 this is the glenn beck program we're glad you're here hey the last uh wednesday special was last night

01:56:23.880 yes and it was a big one desantis ron desantis on the program yeah did you get to the bottom of

01:56:28.960 whether we had talked to him before i i feel like we have but we have we remember it yeah it's been a

01:56:33.760 while uh he is uh i like him yeah a lot i like him a lot does he like you because we know at some

01:56:42.060 point you usually screw up every relationship yeah i know well with politicians because they'll do

01:56:46.180 they'll end up doing something that is like you can't just take your opponent away in handcuffs

01:56:51.800 and then you'll complain about it and we'll never talk to you right exactly but it's so far so good

01:56:56.620 here he is on uh the border situation this is ron desantis from last night now the story is is that you

01:57:04.880 are using uh migrant children uh for political purposes uh i assume this is because the federal

01:57:15.040 government flew um illegals into your airports in the middle of the night without alerting anyone

01:57:23.860 is that correct not only did they do that glenn uh one of the people that they brought in who they

01:57:30.340 said was a minor but was actually 24 years old uh then committed a murder in the jacksonville area and

01:57:36.640 so hey we're not for biden running this border the way he is and then ferreting people out in

01:57:42.060 different communities including florida that terrible crime would have never happened what

01:57:46.300 biden is doing is he is conducting the largest human smuggling operation in the history of our

01:57:52.940 country this is intentional donald trump had policies that were working uh he reversed all those knowing

01:58:00.340 what the result would be i i talked to him about he's dead serious about the shipping them up to

01:58:08.160 martha's vineyard really yeah he said the i have to get the money and i said if you need a bridge loan

01:58:14.960 right you know i call me uh and he said uh he said i think we're going to get the money from the state

01:58:22.620 to do it he said but uh this has got to stop and so when they have another plane that comes in

01:58:29.540 if we he said it's like cia stuff we don't know when they're coming in and they'll just land 1.00

01:58:34.940 he said but we will find out when the next plane is coming in if we catch them he said we're just

01:58:40.880 gonna take them and we're gonna put them on another plane and we're gonna send them to martha's vineyard

01:58:45.880 and he said you know it's it's time we stop this nonsense and i told him if you can't get the money

01:58:52.380 call us we will raise eight million dollars for you to do that we that that we can do that we can do

01:58:58.660 for for plane loads of people going to martha's vineyard and delaware yeah yeah i think we can do

01:59:06.440 that i think we can do that be a be an honor to do that um here he is on uh running for governor

01:59:13.320 uh and also running for president cut 11 now you're going to be running for governor but they're going

01:59:20.220 to say that you know any opponent of yours is going to say he's just using the you know gubernatorial uh

01:59:27.040 offices uh as a stepping stone in florida you're nothing but a stepping stone to the white house

01:59:32.500 how would you respond to that well nobody has poured their heart and soul into this job more than me i

01:59:38.660 think if you look at the what we've been able to achieve you look at me going across the state

01:59:43.660 meeting with people delivering on promises you know that's what it's all about it's all about

01:59:48.600 leadership and we're going to continue to do it it's also interesting like you know i don't go around

01:59:53.920 saying anything about about 2024 like that's all just speculation that gets imposed on me

01:59:59.280 but when i have my opponents will actually say you know if you re-elect him governor then he's going

02:00:04.640 to eventually get elected to something else aren't they acknowledging that i've been a successful

02:00:08.660 governor you know you must have done something right and if people are saying all this stuff so

02:00:14.900 you know but from the very beginning of when i ran for governor you know we kind of take it one day

02:00:20.240 at a time and i want to say what can i get what more can we be doing on a daily basis and so we're

02:00:25.900 very active and when i became governor i told myself whoever succeeds me i want the meat to be

02:00:32.060 off the bone they're not going to have a lot to do because i'm going to take everything i can the

02:00:37.040 low-hanging fruit the difficult fruit and we're going to knock it out and you know we have when if

02:00:41.500 you look at my inauguration speech i've already accomplished everything i said i would do then and

02:00:46.440 then we've done much more and that's the thing so many politicians promise big and then way under

02:00:52.220 deliver we did promise big too but we've actually over delivered on those big promises i will tell you

02:00:58.380 that i think that uh he's not going to run for president in 22 really yeah i think he's going to

02:01:04.100 run for governor and uh then when uh or not sorry not in 22 but 24 i think trump is going to run

02:01:14.600 if trump doesn't run then maybe but uh if trump runs he's not going to he's just gonna button that

02:01:21.140 state up he's doing a great job in a in a purplish state oh yeah and uh you know they like him they

02:01:29.400 like him uh he's doing a great job i think if trump runs he won't he'll wait four years

02:01:37.680 this is the glenn back program
