00:02:34.100 John writes in about his experience with Relief Factor.

00:02:36.560 He says, I was physically unable to work because of a painful knee problem.

00:02:41.300 I heard about Relief Factor and decided I have to give it a try.

00:02:45.080 Now, not only can I work, but I can go hiking and bike riding and I virtually have no pain.

00:02:51.860 Thank you, Relief Factor.

00:03:37.700 All right.

00:03:39.120 Welcome, Pat Gray.

00:03:40.460 How are you?

00:03:41.280 Oh, I'm great.

00:03:42.240 Pat Gray Unleashed, filling in.

00:03:43.620 Yeah, filling in for Stu today and the rest of the week.

00:03:47.320 Um, the White House yesterday was asked about declaring a climate emergency and an abortion emergency.

00:03:59.480 Uh, wow.

00:04:01.600 Uh, here is what the White House said.

00:04:06.100 How concerned is the White House if it may end up sort of angering female voters if it does a sort of go ahead and announce a climate emergency ahead of a public health emergency?

00:04:16.920 Considering we haven't seen, uh, such an announcement after Roe.

00:04:20.360 Is that, is that why maybe the timing has been moved or?

00:04:24.020 No, I wouldn't, I wouldn't look into, I wouldn't make that, uh, uh, into an issue.

00:04:29.720 I, both of, both of those things are still on the table.

00:04:32.680 We just haven't announced them or made a decision yet.

00:04:37.220 Okay, good.

00:04:38.080 So we might have a health emergency and a climate emergency, which is, which is just going to be great.

00:04:45.280 Now, I want you to understand, in the climate emergency, um, they keep using that word, but I don't think it means what you think it means.

00:04:53.200 Um, they are not declaring an emergency because of gas prices.

00:04:58.800 They are declaring an emergency because it's summer.

00:05:03.420 Uh, and the gas prices actually are a benefit to them.

00:05:08.020 Here's Pete Buttigieg yesterday.

00:05:09.660 Of course, the more pain we are all experiencing from the high price of gas, the more benefit there is for those who can access electric vehicles.

00:05:19.760 Ah, okay.

00:05:22.240 Okay.

00:05:23.120 So we got that going for us.

00:05:25.020 So what does it mean that, uh, there's a climate change emergency?

00:05:29.640 Well, the Pentagon says, uh, John Kirby yesterday said that, uh, it's a national security issue.

00:05:36.520 It's, it's, uh, it affects everything, including our infrastructure.

00:05:40.800 Oh my gosh.

00:05:41.920 If I hear any more about our fricking infrastructure, how much money does the, it's like, it's like the Ronald McDonald house. 0.99

00:05:50.240 How big of a house does this clown need? 0.98

00:05:52.120 How much infrastructure? 0.98

00:05:53.600 Uh, we are constantly hearing about, we need another trillion dollars for infrastructure.

00:05:59.280 Uh, okay, great.

00:06:00.860 So here's what, uh, Biden's climate emergency may mean.

00:06:06.180 Um, people don't realize that the, the president has 140 separate powers that he can enact, uh, as, as he declares a climate emergency.

00:06:20.700 And he's the only one that can decide whether it's an emergency.

00:06:24.380 And he's the guy who stops the climate emergency or an emergency.

00:06:29.180 So if he wants to declare a health emergency and the climate emergency, we're in real trouble.

00:06:36.600 We're in real trouble.

00:06:38.080 The only emergency is, is that Congress finally said, because of, uh, Joe Manchin, we're not passing any of this green stuff.

00:06:47.360 We're not doing it.

00:06:48.160 I refuse to vote on the green stuff and vote in favor because you're going to then just spend all that money.

00:06:56.660 And we are already in an inflationary period with, uh, with a deficit we can't afford at this point.

00:07:04.780 I'm not going to throw gasoline on this.

00:07:07.220 So what he's going to do is, um, uh, or at least what he can do is he can take charge of many, many, many different things.

00:07:21.280 For instance, um, he can, uh, declare an emergency, uh, and, uh, stop all media.

00:07:33.840 If media is saying something that he says is adding to the emergency, he can shut down that media.

00:07:41.200 He can imprison people for, uh, for their words.

00:07:46.920 Um, uh, it is all encompassing on what the president can and cannot do.

00:07:55.800 Um, they've done this many, many times before.

00:07:59.700 Uh, but most presidents, uh, the first one, the first, when do you think the first emergency was declared?

00:08:07.020 Uh, uh, at first president, uh, Woodrow Wilson.

00:08:13.040 Come on.

00:08:14.020 Yeah.

00:08:14.320 Woodrow Wilson.

00:08:15.820 What a surprise.

00:08:17.320 It's Woodrow Wilson.

00:08:19.080 So Woodrow Wilson, uh, uh, did it.

00:08:21.840 Then FDR did it when he rounded up the Japanese that was done under an emergency order, uh, as well. 0.65

00:08:29.560 So they can do pretty much anything.

00:08:32.040 George W.

00:08:32.900 Bush, the warrantless wiretaps, uh, the torture.

00:08:37.200 The terrorist, et cetera, et cetera.

00:08:38.860 That was an emergency order as well.

00:08:42.340 Harry Truman tried to seize the, the, uh, steel plants, um, during the Korea war.

00:08:49.500 And he actually got so much pushback on it.

00:08:52.460 It went to the Supreme court and the Supreme court slapped his hands and said, you can't do that.

00:08:57.200 That's probably what would happen.

00:08:59.720 Hopefully, hopefully that is what would happen, uh, with this president.

00:09:05.500 Um, but, uh, do you, you count on that?

00:09:11.440 No, they, they have apparently decided, uh, Biden has supposedly decided that he's not going to declare a climate emergency for now, but he reserves the right to do that.

00:09:25.340 Uh, you know, sometime in the future could be tomorrow, could be next week.

00:09:28.840 Uh, but that's amazing restraint on his part.

00:09:32.160 I got to say, I'm kind of surprised he didn't do it already.

00:09:35.420 Aren't you?

00:09:36.060 I, I, I really thought I don't really, no, I, you know, I'm not rooting for him, not rooting for him to do it.

00:09:44.860 No, I'm not either.

00:09:45.800 I'm not, I'm just surprised he didn't.

00:09:47.440 Yeah.

00:09:47.560 It surprises me.

00:09:48.600 Uh, well, he's, he does have the problem where he's got squabbling kids, these radicals, the, they want a health emergency declared for, uh, for abortion and the climate emergency.

00:10:05.060 And which one is he going to please first?

00:10:08.860 Yeah.

00:10:09.560 I mean, that's really, that's really frightening, really frightening.

00:10:14.120 Um, he can do many things.

00:10:16.480 He can reinstate the crude oil export ban, which means we couldn't export any oil, which would be suicide for us and the rest of the world.

00:10:27.580 Um, he also can, uh, reduce emissions by the equivalent of shutting down 42 coal plants.

00:10:36.820 Um, uh, he would, if he shuts down, uh, export, that means, uh, gas as well.

00:10:45.300 So fracking would be stopped in Texas and New Mexico.

00:10:50.580 Um, uh, he's already done the fossil fuel lease, uh, things, no new leases.

00:10:57.580 But now they're trying to, uh, pressure him into just saying, stop drilling altogether.

00:11:04.560 And this guy has, um, uh, already acquiesced to the left.

00:11:14.360 He is being controlled by the far left.

00:11:18.360 It's, uh, it's not a good thing.

00:11:20.860 This is something that we talked about how many weeks ago.

00:11:24.920 I think I did a whole show about four or five weeks ago on the, uh, coming emergency.

00:11:32.860 I said it'd be a health emergency or a climate emergency.

00:11:36.480 Um, uh, but it is coming.

00:11:38.700 And the reason why that is so dangerous is that's the end of Republic kind of stuff.

00:11:44.700 I mean, I don't know if you saw, uh, there was a, uh, was it slate or vanity fair?

00:11:51.980 One of those, they, they were talking about how dangerous these emergencies are.

00:11:57.660 Don't you realize what a president can do if he can declare a national emergency?

00:12:03.840 Uh, I mean, he can control the, the press, he can control the internet, he can have things

00:12:11.240 banned, uh, he's got a kill switch.

00:12:14.320 He can take your bank account away from you.

00:12:18.060 He can make sure that you don't have a job, that you're not going to work, that you have

00:12:22.520 to stay in your house.

00:12:23.540 This is what they were saying about president Trump, uh, when he declared a national emergency

00:12:30.880 COVID, uh, and they were so worried that he was going to do a national emergency on voting

00:12:37.440 because if he declares a national emergency, he can control the votes.

00:12:42.680 He can change things.

00:12:44.940 They don't seem to be worried about that.

00:12:46.980 Now we're talking to emergencies and we don't seem to be worried about it in the mainstream

00:12:53.300 press.

00:12:57.120 Not good.

00:12:58.640 Not good.

00:13:00.040 Um, all right, let me, uh, let me change topics here to, uh, AOC.

00:13:04.220 Did you see how brave she was yesterday, Pat?

00:13:07.300 Man, led away because of her commitment to this issue and just standing in the face of

00:13:14.900 the big brother being handcuffed and brutally handled by police officers.

00:13:21.720 It was something to see.

00:13:23.480 Oh, she's a brave woman.

00:13:24.760 When they pantomimed, when, when the police pantomimed throwing her up against a police

00:13:30.140 car, uh, and then they put those invisible handcuffs on her. 1.00

00:13:35.320 Yeah.

00:13:35.920 That was scary.

00:13:36.880 I was scared.

00:13:37.560 It was police brutality.

00:13:38.780 Yeah, definitely.

00:13:39.460 Yeah.

00:13:39.720 When I saw the invisible cop standing on her throat, I thought that is, that is too far.

00:13:47.000 And how about when they did the invisible wall around her?

00:13:49.840 That really scared me.

00:13:51.360 I, I didn't think she'd ever get out of there.

00:13:53.500 Oh my gosh.

00:13:54.200 Frightening.

00:13:54.560 Well, I was afraid, I was afraid of a non-existent invisible rape, uh, that was going to be happening 1.00

00:14:01.800 to her.

00:14:02.260 And I'm sure she was horrified, you know?

00:14:04.140 Oh yeah.

00:14:04.660 That, that, that could happen to her.

00:14:06.420 Oh yeah.

00:14:06.760 You know, some invisible cop has her in an invisible box in invisible handcuffs. 1.00

00:14:12.060 And then he, because he's in, uh, invisible, he rapes her, you know, in a pantomime sort

00:14:18.560 of way that would have been, and that would have been the realization of what she was scared 0.84

00:14:23.580 about on J six when she wasn't there, but got so scared of being raped at the building.

00:14:29.960 She wasn't in.

00:14:31.300 So yeah, that would have been something.

00:14:33.400 Yeah.

00:14:34.020 Yeah.

00:14:34.400 Well, there would have been an invisible cop that would have taken her in invisible 0.97

00:14:38.100 handcuffs to the other building to be raped on January 6th. 0.95

00:14:42.160 That's what would have happened. 0.98

00:14:43.180 That probably almost happened.

00:14:44.700 It almost did.

00:14:45.360 Almost happened.

00:14:46.220 Yeah.

00:14:46.320 I think you're right.

00:14:46.960 Yeah.

00:14:47.120 The, the, uh, the imaginary cops were everywhere that day.

00:14:51.480 Yeah.

00:14:51.940 Uh, by the way, let's not leave, uh, Omar out of this.

00:14:54.900 Uh, they both pantomimed handcuffs yesterday.

00:14:57.880 So brave.

00:14:59.480 Oh man.

00:15:00.440 So very brave.

00:15:01.700 So very brave.

00:15:03.780 Ah, so brave.

00:15:04.920 Now, let me ask you, what are the odds that both of them were put into invisible handcuffs

00:15:11.080 and, uh, they just, they just had those invisible handcuffs on them spontaneously, each of them

00:15:20.620 doing it without any kind of coordination.

00:15:24.540 Oh yeah.

00:15:25.340 What are the odds?

00:15:26.800 Oh, long odds, long odds.

00:15:29.400 They certainly didn't coordinate that.

00:15:31.220 That would be, that would not be organic, Glenn, if they did it that way.

00:15:35.640 Yeah.

00:15:36.500 Yeah.

00:15:37.020 Yeah.

00:15:37.360 Yeah.

00:15:37.580 Let me ask you, did you notice that AOC and Omar had green bandanas on?

00:15:43.600 I didn't notice that.

00:15:44.980 No, no.

00:15:46.400 Okay.

00:15:46.600 Yeah.

00:15:46.880 So they're, they were both wearing green bandanas.

00:15:49.900 Now green bandanas are, are interesting.

00:15:52.580 Uh, most people don't know what the green bandana means, but that the green bandanas are from

00:15:58.300 a group called rise up for abortion rights.

00:16:01.840 Uh, and it's, it's interesting because we, we pointed this out last week on our Wednesday

00:16:09.500 night special, uh, that, uh, the rise up for abortion rights actually, um, actually kind

00:16:18.820 of not a good group, uh, because it's, it's, it's tied in to another group.

00:16:24.100 The, uh, the leader of rise up is Sincera Taylor.

00:16:28.880 We told you about her on Monday.

00:16:30.720 I told you about her last week as well.

00:16:33.440 Um, Taylor is the right hand man to, uh, Bob Avakian, the radical, uh, from the 1960s.

00:16:41.620 Do you remember him?

00:16:42.560 He's the guy who went to Colorado and started the revolutionary communist party USA.

00:16:47.960 Oh, wait a minute.

00:16:50.780 So the communist party USA gave birth to the rise up for abortion rights. 0.78

00:16:58.240 And that's who's wearing the green bandanas, the communists.

00:17:05.260 Okay.

00:17:06.400 All right.

00:17:07.440 Okay.

00:17:08.400 So does she know that's a communist sign?

00:17:11.880 Of course.

00:17:12.460 Does she know that this is, this is started from a guy, you know, Bob in Colorado.

00:17:17.800 That's all she knew.

00:17:19.540 A Bob in Colorado.

00:17:21.540 Uh-huh.

00:17:23.660 Do, do communists actually expect people to believe? 0.99

00:17:27.520 And do people actually believe that communists actually give a crap about women and abortions? 0.96

00:17:33.340 Or the environment or any other, the, of their special little causes? 0.98

00:17:37.420 Of course not.

00:17:39.320 Of course not. 1.00

00:17:41.540 So what you saw yesterday, AOC and Omar, those are literal use, useful idiots used by the communists. 0.99

00:17:51.480 And that's why the police had to invisibly throw them up against that invisible wall, frisk them in manners that were really almost rapish, and then put those invisible handcuffs on them. 0.99

00:18:06.500 And it was abuse.

00:18:09.220 It was abuse.

00:18:10.580 All right.

00:18:11.140 Back in just a second.

00:19:34.380 Have you ever, has anybody noticed that our Wednesday night special always is ahead of the news?

00:19:39.480 I'll see things that are happening.

00:19:42.380 Gosh, what was it?

00:19:43.480 Just yesterday, somebody came out with a news story that we're like,

00:19:47.360 And did you know George Soros is a bad guy?

00:19:51.360 Wow, our audience has known that one for a while.

00:19:56.820 But we're ahead of the game again tonight.

00:20:01.740 We're going to touch on some things that haven't been touched on.

00:20:05.400 And I use that word probably inartfully, considering that we are talking about the Biden family and Hunter and Joe Biden's relationship.

00:20:14.440 We have seen scandal after scandal after scandal in this country.

00:20:20.780 You know, the Teapot Dome scandal, which I don't even know what that was.

00:20:25.480 Watergate, Lewinsky.

00:20:28.400 The thing that happened with all of these scandals in the past is eventually somebody paid for it.

00:20:34.500 60% of Americans believe that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden will not have to pay for any of the crimes that may have been committed.

00:20:48.840 They don't think that Hunter Biden will be convicted or even tried or brought up on charges.

00:20:55.640 That's remarkable.

00:20:57.400 If we really, truly believe that our justice system is that corrupt, and I think it is, but it's that corrupt, what do we have left as a nation?

00:21:09.700 Joe Biden is at the center of what is, I believe, the biggest corruption scandal in presidential family history.

00:21:18.460 It has been given a free pass, but not on my program.

00:21:22.340 So many questions, so many red flags, so many conflicts of interest surrounding the Biden family business activities that it's hard to keep track.

00:21:31.260 The latest is he is benefiting and getting money from his company that that is partly owned by the Chinese Communist Party.

00:21:45.440 This company, the highest bidder on our, I'm getting all kinds of stuff in my headphones.

00:21:56.160 I don't know why.

00:21:57.620 They were the highest bidder on all of the oil that we released from our strategic oil reserve.

00:22:07.020 Absolute nightmare.

00:22:08.260 How did that happen?

00:22:10.120 Well, it happened because we've got a corrupt administration.

00:22:14.100 Find out all of the details and the latest from his laptop that, I've got a few questions on some of the salacious stuff, too, that we've never brought up, we've never talked about, but it's really out of control at this point.

00:22:32.880 Join me tonight, criminal cronies, the never-ending trail of the Biden family corruption.

00:23:15.480 You don't have to deal with a crappy company anymore.

00:23:18.980 And I mean crappy company, not that Verizon doesn't provide good coverage.

00:23:25.420 It's crappy because they are spending their money, and that's fine for them to do, but I don't want to give them my money so they can give it to Planned Parenthood.

00:23:34.920 That's what Verizon does.

00:24:23.780 This national emergency thing really bothers me, and it's shocking to me how many things that we have talked about in the past are here now.

00:24:36.100 And the national emergency thing is something that, like in the last four weeks, I had a whole show on it and saying, this is what's coming next.

00:24:46.060 And while for yesterday, they thought for a while he was going to declare a national emergency today, but the White House has said, don't look for it today, but it could be coming next week.

00:24:58.740 Like, that's terrifying.

00:25:01.200 That should chill you to the bone.

00:25:02.760 It's one of those things that I said four weeks ago.

00:25:05.440 If they declare a national health or climate emergency, run for the hills.

00:25:11.520 Run for the hills.

00:25:12.460 It was interesting to see the squad, too, just blatantly wearing those green bandanas like you were talking about, which shows their affiliation with the communist, the revolutionary communist party in America.

00:25:23.100 But the thing is, they don't care anymore.

00:25:25.660 They think they're too far down the road that we can do anything about it.

00:25:29.600 And as you started saying, I think in about 2009, they're just going to show themselves because they're proud of who they are and what they are.

00:25:37.080 They love it.

00:25:37.920 And they can't wait to tell you what they're doing and who they are and what they are.

00:25:42.720 And so if we don't do anything about it now, this is all going to be on us because they're just outright saying it, showing it.

00:25:50.980 Oh, yeah.

00:25:52.440 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:25:54.660 Let me let me go through.

00:25:56.920 And this is so incredible because we are dealing with people who want to destroy our Constitution, want to reset absolutely everything.

00:26:06.100 And they are so close to doing it.

00:26:08.860 A national emergency.

00:26:11.300 The president doesn't have to explain in great detail.

00:26:15.640 He can just declare the national emergency because of, you know, climate.

00:26:21.780 And then he has to outline to Congress some of the things that he wants to do.

00:26:28.020 And but nobody can stop him unless it's the Supreme Court.

00:26:33.140 So we have these when we talked about this maybe six months ago, they're called P ads or PEDS presidential executive.

00:26:43.500 No presidential emergency directives.

00:26:47.820 And these are secret even from Congress.

00:26:52.100 Congress doesn't even know what they are.

00:26:54.540 They are presidential directives.

00:26:56.980 When a president comes in, he says, what are the possible emergencies that could happen that I won't have time to respond on?

00:27:06.260 And they'll say, you know, nuclear war with Russia.

00:27:10.740 OK, so there's a P ad.

00:27:13.880 And these P ads are executive emergency orders that are remain unsigned.

00:27:21.420 So Congress doesn't know what they are because they're not in effect.

00:27:26.100 So this was the big worry of the left that President Trump had all of these P ads already done.

00:27:33.400 And all he'd have to do is sign them and you can move quickly.

00:27:37.800 So the president right now, they are working on one of those P ads, an emergency directive that would give the president 140 special powers.

00:27:50.660 And and let me just give you a scenario here.

00:27:54.820 And this is this is from let me see who's who printed this.

00:27:59.500 This is from the Atlantic back in 2019.

00:28:04.620 They were worried about the the president doing a national emergency claims of emergency or necessity cannot legitimize martial law until they can.

00:28:18.320 Presented with this ambiguity, presidents have explored the outer limits of their constitutional emergency authority in a series of directors, directives known as the presidential emergency action documents or P ads, which originated as part of the Eisenhower administration to ensure continuity of government in the wake of a Soviet nuclear attack.

00:28:39.000 They are draft executive orders, proclamations and messages to Congress that are prepared in advance of anticipated emergency.

00:28:46.860 P ads are closely guarded within the government.

00:28:49.600 No one has ever not one has ever been publicly released or leaked.

00:28:54.380 Their contents have occasionally been described in public sources, including FBI memorandums, where they were attained through Freedom of Information Act, as well as agency manuals in court documents.

00:29:06.080 According to these sources, P ads drafted from the 1950s through the 1970s would authorize not only martial law, but the suspension of habeas corpus by the executive branch, the revocation of America's passports, the roundup and detention of subversives identified in an FBI security index that contained more than 10,000 names.

00:29:29.220 Now, this is what was in there in the 1970s that we know.

00:29:34.540 Can you imagine the list of enemies?

00:29:37.420 Can you imagine the list of enemies to the climate?

00:29:42.520 How many people do you know on radio that have been called enemies of the climate, that they're climate deniers and these people should be put in jail?

00:29:53.920 If the president issues an executive order on emergency action, it gives him the power to be able to arrest those people and hold them without habeas corpus.

00:30:07.760 So you don't have a judge involved.

00:30:09.800 You don't have a trial.

00:30:11.120 No hearing involved in that.

00:30:13.040 So they talk about this and they say, let me give you this scenario from the Atlantic.

00:30:19.180 Trump's inflammatory tweets provoke predictable saber rattling from Iranian leaders.

00:30:25.020 He responds by threatening preemptive military strikes.

00:30:28.740 Some Defense Department officials have misgivings, but others have been waiting for such an opportunity.

00:30:34.340 As Iran's statement grow more warlock, more warlike, Iranophobia takes hold among the American public.

00:30:41.460 Now, just take Iran out and replace it with Russia. 0.99

00:30:46.320 Take Trump out and replace it with Biden.

00:30:49.620 It's exactly what's going on right now.

00:30:52.660 Proclaiming the threat of war, Trump invokes Section 706 of the Communications Act to assume government control over Internet traffic inside the United States in order to prevent the spread of Iranian disinformation and propaganda.

00:31:08.160 Now, we already know the Department of Homeland Security is saying that there are many sources of propaganda, mis, dis, and malinformation.

00:31:23.400 We know they're tracking it right now.

00:31:26.140 And we also know that their point of view is not necessarily your point of view.

00:31:30.860 You don't think they would do this?

00:31:34.980 It's a climate emergency.

00:31:37.300 He also declares a national emergency under EPA, authorizing the Treasury Department to freeze the assets of any person or organization suspected of supporting Iran's activities against the United States.

00:31:53.940 We've seen this happen in Canada.

00:31:59.580 Wielding the authority conferred by these laws, the government shuts down several left-leaning websites and domestic civil society organizations based on government determinations classified, of course, that they are subject to Iranian influence.

00:32:17.180 Now, they already have this scenario.

00:32:19.820 The difference between, I think, conservatives and Marxists is Marxists will warn you about fascism, but will not warn you about communism.

00:32:36.640 Where I will tell you, yeah, there are fascists out there.

00:32:42.160 There are people on the far, far, far, far, far right that I think they're so far right that they're actually left like a circle.

00:32:48.820 But, you know, if you want to claim that fascists are on the right, fine.

00:32:53.300 Fascists are on the right.

00:32:54.580 Great.

00:32:55.420 Yes, they exist.

00:32:56.740 And I do believe there are people on the right that wouldn't mind seizing power, but it's few and far between and would not have regular American support.

00:33:09.960 The left, however, that is the Democratic Party.

00:33:14.760 It is no longer the Democratic Party.

00:33:17.180 They are beholden to the Marxist communist left, as evidenced by the green bandanas around their necks.

00:33:26.740 Okay, so they don't see it from their own side, but they do see the same problem that we see.

00:33:35.940 If you think Donald Trump can do it, why do you suppose that Joe Biden wouldn't do it?

00:33:43.840 When the climate emergency is, I can't get Congress to do what I want them to do.

00:33:51.100 When the health emergency is, I can't get Congress and I can't get the Supreme Court to do what I want to do.

00:34:00.140 That's not the definition of emergency.

00:34:02.940 That's the definition of you suck at politics or you're out of step with the American people or the Constitution.

00:34:14.660 Protests erupt. 0.93

00:34:16.380 Go ahead.

00:34:16.840 Go ahead.

00:34:17.140 It's pretty amazing, too, what we're okay with when it's our party in power.

00:34:24.860 Like, under George W. Bush, if you remember, at the beginning, we were all for the Patriot Act. 0.95

00:34:31.180 Now, it turned out, years later, we realized that that was stupid and we shouldn't have been for it, but we were because it was our guy. 0.78

00:34:41.040 And we're against it now. 0.94

00:34:42.240 It was the same thing with the Alien and Sedition Act under John Adams back in 1800.

00:34:50.080 You're okay because he's your guy.

00:34:53.200 Yeah, and that's the problem.

00:34:54.640 We can't have a guy.

00:34:55.820 It's why I've never asked you to trust me.

00:34:58.660 I've never asked you to trust me on anything.

00:35:01.040 I've always said, do your own homework and root them in principles.

00:35:05.960 It's why the 9-12 project was different than the Tea Party.

00:35:10.280 The 9-12 project was rooted in principles and values.

00:35:14.840 That's where your loyalty needs to be, not to me, not to anybody else.

00:35:20.700 You can't just follow someone blinding and say, he's my guy.

00:35:25.820 Loyalty is important.

00:35:28.120 You know, you don't just sell people out.

00:35:29.920 But if they are breaking the values and the principles that you hold dear, you need to call them on it.

00:35:40.700 You need to call them on it.

00:35:42.520 One more thing on this.

00:35:45.760 The Atlantic goes on and says this is the scenario under Trump.

00:35:49.240 Protests erupt. 0.90

00:35:51.380 On Twitter, Trump calls the protesters traitors and suggests, in capital letters, that they could use a good beating.

00:35:58.320 When the counter-protesters oblige, which would not happen, would not happen because that's not what the right does.

00:36:05.940 Trump blames the original protesters for sparking the violent confrontation

00:36:09.680 and deploys the Insurrection Act to federalize the National Guard in several states.

00:36:14.940 Do you not see with what they're setting up with January 6th?

00:36:19.820 Do you not see that this is their scenario?

00:36:24.680 They say it was coming with Donald Trump, but this is their playbook.

00:36:27.840 Using the presidential alert system first tested on October 2018,

00:36:33.500 the president sends a text message to every American cell phone warning that there is a risk of violence at polling stations

00:36:40.560 and that troops will be deployed as necessary to keep order.

00:36:44.220 Some members of opposition groups are frightened and they stay at home on Election Day.

00:36:49.540 Other people simply can't find accurate information online about voting.

00:36:53.240 Would turn out at historic lows, a president who is facing impeachment just months earlier,

00:36:59.940 handily wins re-election and marks his victory by renewing the state of emergency.

00:37:06.200 Now, gosh, why shouldn't we fear that this could be happening with this president

00:37:15.300 when he's saying he's going to declare a climate emergency and a health emergency?

00:37:24.900 Warning, warning to all Democrats and all Republicans.

00:37:30.460 Any president who is talking the way this president is, and that includes Donald Trump,

00:37:38.000 warning that's very, very dangerous.

00:37:42.820 Back in just a minute.

00:37:45.300 Sponsor of this half hour is Tunnel to Towers.

00:37:48.640 Tunnel to Towers is this great, great organization and charity.

00:37:53.760 The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police officer James Kennelly

00:37:57.360 passed away in 2017 from cancer that he got as a result of his search and recovery efforts

00:38:03.960 at the World Trade Center following the terrorist attack at 9-11.

00:38:07.620 The Tunnel to Towers Foundation is committed to ensuring America keeps its vow to never forget 9-11 0.85

00:38:13.540 and help the memory of their heroes like Officer Kennelly alive.

00:38:18.880 The Foundation's 9-11 never forget mobile exhibit.

00:38:23.340 It is a tribute to all those who lost their lives that day or who have died from related illnesses.

00:38:29.060 It is a high-tech tractor-trailer that transforms into a museum to educate people about America's darkest day.

00:38:37.680 Welcomed all around the nation, the memorial provides interactive education through guided tours.

00:38:43.680 FDNY firefighters have provided first-hand accounts of the day and its aftermath to 600,000 people to date

00:38:51.420 in all 50 states and even up in Canada.

00:38:55.320 We can absolutely guarantee that if we don't continue these things,

00:38:59.960 that day will disappear into the mists of time.

00:39:04.140 Visit a city near you, do good, and never forget, donate $11 a month at T2T.org.

00:39:10.980 That's the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, and they really do so much good.

00:39:14.740 It's T, the number two, T, dot org.

00:39:18.460 Stand up!

00:39:19.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:36.840 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:39.060 I understand we have some breaking news, Pat.

00:39:41.000 We do, and this is of special import to you as infested.

00:39:45.900 To me?

00:39:46.160 Yes, because I know that Idaho is infested with bathhouses, 0.72

00:39:50.920 and what they're saying now is that bathhouses, saunas, and sex clubs are one of the main spreaders, 0.73

00:39:59.500 one of the main places where monkeypox is spreading.

00:40:03.540 And I know how hard it is for you to avoid these places, but you should really try.

00:40:07.300 Oh, my gosh.

00:40:07.920 Just for a while.

00:40:08.560 Well, I was just in the Twin Falls bathhouse just the other day.

00:40:14.980 Oh, wow.

00:40:15.720 Yeah.

00:40:16.240 And it was so crowded.

00:40:18.300 Yeah, that's the thing with the Twin Falls bathhouse.

00:40:21.480 It just, you could barely move in there.

00:40:24.060 I know.

00:40:24.740 I had to go to Pocatello last week.

00:40:26.940 No.

00:40:27.620 To get to the bathhouse.

00:40:28.520 Oh, my.

00:40:29.020 Yeah.

00:40:29.320 That's so inconvenient.

00:40:30.960 But that, it's so inconvenient.

00:40:33.320 Yeah.

00:40:33.460 But it's also a bookstore, too.

00:40:35.320 So, it's nice.

00:40:37.120 Yeah.

00:40:37.720 It's, you know, it took over the Barnes & Noble space.

00:40:41.440 Yeah.

00:40:41.600 And Barnes & Noble went out of business so fast, they just left some of the books on the shelf.

00:40:45.740 They put the bathhouse in there, and it's, well, I don't need to tell you, Pat.

00:40:49.860 No, I've been there so many times.

00:40:51.640 Yeah.

00:40:51.780 We'll see it.

00:40:52.160 Yeah, yeah.

00:40:52.700 Yeah. 0.82

00:40:53.180 So, sex centers. 0.97

00:40:55.800 Not good for the spread of monkeypox. 0.95

00:40:57.980 Not good.

00:40:58.580 Yeah.

00:40:58.840 Okay.

00:40:59.240 I'm going to write that one down.

00:41:00.760 It's good safety, too.

00:41:01.440 You know what?

00:41:02.080 Everybody, put it on a sticky note and put it on your dashboard, because you might forget,

00:41:07.700 and you're, like, halfway to the bathhouse, and you're like, oh, wait a minute.

00:41:11.180 Those are bad because of monkeypox.

00:41:13.900 Right. 1.00

00:41:15.060 Crap. 1.00

00:41:16.240 Crap. 1.00

00:41:17.020 It's a sacrifice. 0.99

00:41:17.960 Thank you for that update.

00:41:19.020 Yeah.

00:41:19.420 Appreciate it.

00:41:20.760 All right.

00:42:03.720 Whether it's refinance on your home mortgage or at a lower interest rate, maybe it's consolidation

00:42:08.340 of your loan to help get rid of that high-interest credit card debt, which is so important.

00:42:13.760 For over 20 years, the people who have been doing it is American Financing.

00:42:17.100 Call them.

00:42:17.620 They can really help you.

00:42:19.400 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or AmericanFinancing.net.

00:42:25.060 We've got to stand together at the chorus of night.

00:42:55.060 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:13.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:17.760 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:23.800 There's a couple of things going on that you should be aware of.

00:43:27.540 Congress has pretty much given up, or the White House has given up on Congress and the

00:43:32.280 Senate ever being able to pass a green bill, a Build Back Better bill.

00:43:37.100 So now the president is considering executive action.

00:43:41.040 When he can't get it done one way, he'll jam it through the other way.

00:43:44.040 Sounds an awful lot like Woodrow Wilson in FDR, quite frankly.

00:43:47.260 They are now talking about packing the Supreme Court and a new climate emergency and possibly

00:43:55.900 a health care emergency as well due to abortion.

00:44:00.600 All right.

00:44:01.420 So what does all of this mean?

00:44:03.000 Well, it means that the president can't get the American people to go along with his plans,

00:44:08.000 and he can't even get his own party to go along with his plans.

00:44:12.400 And so he's going to jam it through any way he can, because he's already put into place

00:44:17.700 ESG through the private sector.

00:44:21.760 Now, ESG is extraordinarily dangerous and destroys the free capitalism and the free market that

00:44:30.660 we have in our country.

00:44:33.620 It is a totally different system than the one we're on.

00:44:38.040 Who's standing against it?

00:44:40.660 And BlackRock, which is the leader of ESG, they just had a 22% downturn.

00:44:49.720 Is that because of ESG?

00:44:52.360 Or is that what everybody is having?

00:44:54.700 We're going to talk to a guy who knows the answers to these things and also possibly what

00:45:01.620 do we do about it.

00:45:02.940 Vivek Rameshwamy joins us in 60 seconds.

00:45:10.580 Jodi wrote in about her experience with relief factor.

00:45:13.220 She says, I'm really grateful to experience relief from all of the pain I used to have in

00:45:17.960 my upper and middle back.

00:45:19.280 I appreciate having something that's non-prescription and non-addictive that I can take.

00:45:25.580 You know, the thing I really like about relief factor is I'm not fuzzy ever.

00:45:29.560 I am clear-minded because it's not a drug.

00:45:34.120 It's four key ingredients that attack the inflammation in your body.

00:45:39.240 And Jodi says, I like that there are no side effects except for the positive ones.

00:45:45.320 Thank you, relief factor.

00:45:47.360 Relief factor.

00:45:48.060 Try it yourself.

00:45:48.840 Three-week quick start developed just for you.

00:45:51.040 $19.95, a dollar a day like a trial pack.

00:45:53.940 Hundreds of thousands of people have already ordered relief factor and about 70% of them

00:45:57.860 go on to order more.

00:45:59.300 It's relieffactor.com.

00:46:01.540 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:46:03.100 1-800-4-RELIEF or relieffactor.com.

00:46:06.840 Feel the difference.

00:46:10.080 Vivek, my friend, how are you, sir?

00:46:12.880 Good to talk to you, Glenn.

00:46:13.880 How are you?

00:46:15.780 Very, very good.

00:46:16.800 You are a guy who I think one of the few that actually really gets ESG and the Great Reset believes and understands how dangerous it is and is working to educate people and also help us beat it.

00:46:36.040 Let me start with what's happening with ESG and BlackRock.

00:46:42.080 Is BlackRock's downturn in their profits, is this something that is caused by ESG or is this just the downturn of the market that everybody is feeling?

00:46:56.020 Well, the answer to that question, Glenn, is it is both of those things, in part because BlackRock is contributing to the downturn in the market that everyone is feeling because of ESG.

00:47:07.660 So I'll explain to you how that works, where this is the largest asset manager in the world, managing over $10 trillion, around $10 trillion, about half the U.S. GDP in the hands of one firm.

00:47:19.180 And if you add Vanguard and State Street to the list, the top three, they manage more than the U.S. GDP.

00:47:24.840 And what they do is they're aggregating the money of everyday citizens.

00:47:28.800 Probably most people listening to this program, actually.

00:47:30.940 Probably you and me included.

00:47:32.460 We don't know it through our 401k accounts, through pension fund accounts, et cetera.

00:47:36.400 And what they do is they use that money to advocate for these ESG policies in corporate America, climate change plans, emissions caps, diversity, equity, inclusion, quota systems for race and gender on boards, et cetera.

00:47:52.400 They use our money to advocate for those principles in corporate America that makes companies less successful.

00:47:59.000 And as we've seen this year, has actually contributed to stock market declines as well, in my opinion.

00:48:06.040 And the ESG-specific funds this year, Glenn, have actually underperformed the broader market as a whole, even though the broader market as a whole has already done badly enough.

00:48:16.340 And I think a big part of why the broader market has done badly is in part because of the demands of these ESG-linked asset managers.

00:48:24.100 But the ESG-specific funds have done even worse.

00:48:27.260 So the answer to your question is, is there a downturn because of the broader market or is it because of the failures of ESG?

00:48:33.840 The answer is both, because part of the reason the broader market is turning down is exactly because of some of these toxic policies that cause companies to focus on these orthogonal social agendas.

00:48:45.720 So let me ask you if – because this – I'm not an investor.

00:48:53.520 I really – I mean, I should never be around money.

00:48:56.660 I'm horrible at investing.

00:48:57.880 However, it would be my feeling that if you are in a place to where oil is as scarce as it is, if we didn't have ESG, wouldn't the energy market be the place to put your money?

00:49:18.060 Or is that just a Glenn Beck, you know, thought?

00:49:21.940 Well, it's not just Glenn Beck.

00:49:23.640 It's Warren Buffett quietly starting to behave this way, too, Glenn.

00:49:27.160 So you might give yourself a little bit more credit than you just did.

00:49:30.000 But it's actually – if you think about it, you know, this is the potential moment for U.S. energy to really shine and rise to the occasion, not just as an investment proposition, but as a proposition to meet the needs of Americans at a time when there's a massive supply-demand imbalance, right?

00:49:48.380 I mean, you remember that as recently as 2018, the U.S. was the world's largest producer of energy, how quickly things have changed now with the U.S. president groveling in front of foreign dictators around the world, begging them to produce more oil that the U.S. could be producing instead.

00:50:09.200 And now I know the Biden administration is trying to walk this back.

00:50:11.980 I think a lot of ESG managers like BlackRock are trying to walk this back and say, well, we don't really want to end fossil fuel production.

00:50:19.940 Actually, you know what he's just making – he's making good on a campaign promise.

00:50:24.020 In September of 2019, on the campaign trail, I'm quoting him exactly – here's what President Biden, then-candidate Biden, said, I guarantee you we're going to end fossil fuels, end quote.

00:50:37.100 That was a campaign promise that he's now delivering on, but he has multiple tools to deliver on it because normally the way constitutionally you would deliver on that campaign promise is that you would get a law passed through Congress.

00:50:49.600 Well, he doesn't have the political support to do that.

00:50:51.660 The American people haven't given Congress the political support to do that.

00:50:54.620 Joe Manchin won't even stand in the way of doing – won't even allow that to happen.

00:50:59.360 And so what are they doing now?

00:51:00.480 Well, they're resorting to other means like executive action through the climate change emergency.

00:51:06.100 We'll see – we'll hear more about what that means.

00:51:08.020 They're doing it through the private sector, deputizing their cronies like BlackRock, many of whose alumni, by the way, work in the Biden administration, but large private sector actors.

00:51:17.340 They do favors for them in return for those private actors doing through the back door what government could not get done through the front door through Congress, the constitutionally ordained way for actually passing laws.

00:51:29.260 So he's delivering on that campaign promise, but doing it through the back door in ways that I think would make our founding fathers shudder if they actually knew the way the government was treating the private sector and using the invisible fist of government instead of the invisible hand of the market to actually reach these outcomes.

00:51:47.200 So one more question on food now.

00:51:54.520 Would food be the same thing?

00:51:56.320 Because we have the ability.

00:52:00.000 We have the property.

00:52:01.920 The land.

00:52:02.860 We have the farmers.

00:52:04.340 We have the history of being the world's breadbasket.

00:52:07.860 If it wasn't for ESG, wouldn't this be the time that farming would be the best kind of investment where you would – we would be selling our wheat and our food all over the world?

00:52:22.540 We would literally be feeding the world if it wasn't for ESG.

00:52:27.380 Am I wrong on that?

00:52:28.180 And at a time when there's real demand and need for it as well.

00:52:31.780 So the way I look at it going is these are all part of the same categories because energy is upstream of food production as well, right?

00:52:39.080 It takes energy to transport food, to be able to export food, to be able to produce food, to be able to put the ingredients together.

00:52:46.060 So I agree with you.

00:52:47.680 I kind of look at energy as even more fundamental because it's upstream of nearly every other sector and nearly every other production means.

00:52:54.180 But the thing for people to understand here is that this is damage that's been done in the last few years by the merger of public power and private power.

00:53:06.360 So that's what makes it so hard to find a source because on one hand, Biden can say this isn't my fault.

00:53:11.460 This is just the decisions of the private sector that stopped drilling for oil, that stopped drilling for – that stopped fracking for natural gas.

00:53:19.040 We didn't do that.

00:53:19.900 There was no policy you could point to, but actually the reason why they're doing it is because of the ESG movement in the private sector that this administration and the modern left supports through the back door.

00:53:31.800 So that's kind of how they're able to really trick the public through this jujitsu move saying that, oh, this isn't the – this isn't us passing laws to do this.

00:53:40.540 We're just seeing the private sector underinvest in oil and gas.

00:53:44.740 That's what they say when gas prices are high when in fact they were responsible for causing it.

00:53:48.360 That's what people need to wake up to.

00:53:49.900 All right.

00:53:51.120 So they are not talking to the American people about this.

00:53:55.080 They're blaming the private sector, and that usually means the investors and the companies.

00:54:00.520 But the investors are not necessarily a part of this.

00:54:04.360 A lot of us are invested in these companies.

00:54:07.020 There are 401K, et cetera, et cetera.

00:54:09.140 And we're not telling the companies to do this.

00:54:12.120 Do the companies want to do this, or is it based just on the pressure from places like BlackRock who have a lot of those shares because we run our money through BlackRock for our 401Ks?

00:54:27.620 It's really the latter, Glenn.

00:54:30.800 And I'm telling you, so the U.S. energy sector, the potential of U.S. energy to be able to supply not only America's needs but the global needs is staggering.

00:54:41.080 And this isn't just a policy failure.

00:54:42.900 It's an American travesty when those same companies have been hamstrung from being able to do their jobs.

00:54:48.580 Now, most people choose to work in the energy industry, for example, work in the energy industry because they want to be part of that solution.

00:54:56.080 But what's happened in the last four or five years is that these large shareholders like BlackRock have imposed constraints on these companies.

00:55:03.040 I'll give you a very specific example.

00:55:04.820 Exxon, by the way, was the largest company in the world as recently as 2013.

00:55:09.220 It's the largest U.S. energy company.

00:55:10.840 BlackRock voted in favor of putting three dissident directors, three new directors that they put on the board of directors at Exxon to adjust its climate change strategy.

00:55:22.580 And before BlackRock voted for those directors to join Exxon's board, Exxon had a business plan to increase oil production 25% between 2020 and 2025.

00:55:32.420 After they put those new directors on Exxon's board, they revised their business plan to reduce oil production 20% over those same five years.

00:55:41.900 Wow.

00:55:42.420 That's a clear before and after.

00:55:44.840 Now, imagine today how much more successful the American energy industry would be.

00:55:49.960 Exxon would be as a company.

00:55:51.480 How much lower gas prices would be if American oil companies were actually producing more oil, which was their prior business plan.

00:55:58.480 Before BlackRock and Vanguard and State Street 2 vote in favor of these new directors on the board, say, no, no, that doesn't match your climate change plans that we want to see you implement.

00:56:08.060 Now you need to reduce oil production.

00:56:10.100 This is the travesty, Glenn.

00:56:11.340 It's the fraud of our time where Americans are paying for $5 gas at the pump with one hand, not knowing that their own 401k accounts and their own pension fund accounts and brokerage accounts are actually subsidizing the very ESG agenda that gives them $5 gas in the first place.

00:56:28.520 And I think that once people start to see that with clear eyes, the good news is we find our way to a better way forward to say that we're not going to let someone else abuse my money, abuse my savings to be able to send messages to the U.S. energy industry that I absolutely don't want to be delivering to the U.S. energy industry.

00:56:44.640 Instead, I want them to make great products.

00:56:47.220 That's actually what I think the next step in this battle looks like.

00:56:49.880 We have a ton of states now that are looking to move their money and, you know, all of the pension funds and everything else.

00:56:58.920 We have a lot of states that want to do that.

00:57:00.800 We have a lot of people that want to do that.

00:57:02.460 But I'm assuming this is what you're working on.

00:57:06.260 You I think you told us last time you were on that you were going to start something and go right after BlackRock.

00:57:14.380 And well, this is that is that happening?

00:57:16.480 This is why I started Strive earlier this year, creating a firm to compete head on versus BlackRock, because these are problems, Glenn, created in the market that need to be solved through the market.

00:57:29.340 And so that's why I started Strive.

00:57:30.820 And we're going to take these guys head on.

00:57:33.340 And I've learned a lot over the last few months, even about how broken that pension fund system at the state level really is.

00:57:42.360 And this isn't even a Republican or a Democrat issue.

00:57:44.840 You know, we talk about a lot of people talk about the deep state in the federal government.

00:57:48.440 I think it exists at the state level.

00:57:50.180 I think it exists in corporate America, what I call deep corporate.

00:57:53.000 But these are institutionalized, bureaucratized actors that, you know, BlackRock and State Street and Vanguard, they've mastered this system over the last 10 to 20 years.

00:58:03.740 And it's an ossified system that in absence of everyday citizens speaking up and demanding change, you're going to have a mid-level bureaucrat who's going to happily sit and collect his paycheck without wanting to be bothered that's going to say, well, this is what I've done and I don't get paid anymore if I serve my citizens or not.

00:58:23.240 So leave me alone. You know, I'm overstating the case, but only by a little bit, which is exactly how many of these mid-level bureaucrats at the state level think and even communicate.

00:58:33.660 And I think that at the end of the day, the right answer is going to come from everyday citizens demanding change, kind of like what you saw in a small scale, the school boards last year, parents taking educational control back into their own hands, not leaving it to some sort of bureaucratized school board and saying that it's your job to educate my children.

00:58:51.680 No, they're my children and I have a say in how they're educated. It's the equivalent, I think, I think, I think bottom up, you know, it's a sort of a positive revolution of sorts that we need to see that actually take every day to say that this is my hard-earned savings.

00:59:05.240 I'm going to take control. It's just like it's my kids. It's my money. It's not your money, a pension bureaucrat. It's definitely not your money, BlackRock. That's what we're going to have to see.

00:59:12.560 I think the same thing could be said for what we saw with Afghanistan. I mean, just this audience raised almost $50 million in like three weeks to go and save and rescue people from the Afghanistan debacle.

00:59:33.340 We flew the last plane. This is the deal we had to make with the State Department, that we could get our people out if our first plane that flew out would carry our special forces.

00:59:47.620 We're the ones that paid for that. I mean, it's incredible, but it is also a great, great example of what a group of people can do if they really set their mind to it.

00:59:59.720 Vivek, hang on just for one minute. I have one more question for you. But first, I have to tell you about the Tuttle Twins. They have a powerful, powerful new book.

01:00:07.520 It's called American History, 1215 to 1776. It is a history book. It's a story book. It's not about the dates and the memorization of names.

01:00:20.760 It's about the ideas, because that's what history is supposed to teach us. What idea replaced the old idea? And how did we get there? And what did we learn from it?

01:00:32.760 If you learn from history and not the names and the dates, but if you learn the stories, you'll be able to apply that to our future.

01:00:42.920 And that's what's missing right now. We don't know our own history. We're not teaching why fascism, how it came about, why it happened, and how bad it was.

01:00:54.800 We're not teaching more of that than we are of communism. We're not even teaching what worked here in America and what set us apart.

01:01:04.220 The Tuttle Twins book does it. They have an amazing deal right now. They're throwing in 200 pages of companion curriculum and activities, an audiobook version, videos to help the lessons from the book come alive.

01:01:16.480 It's like 250 pages itself. Your kids are going to love it. You will love it. I think every American home needs to have a copy of American History by the Tuttle Twins in their home.

01:01:29.340 Tuttle Twins Beck dot com. Tuttle Twins Beck dot com. You can preview a free sample of the chapter and you can see for yourself why it's, I think, crucial to own. It's Tuttle Twins Beck dot com.

01:01:43.660 Ten seconds. Station ID.

01:01:44.680 The Vake, earlier this week, I came back from vacation and I said the most important story since I've been gone was the Sri Lanka overthrow of the government and kicking out of the president.

01:02:10.060 Because the World Economic Forum said this is the model. And there was a story up at WEF dot org that said the headline was how we're going to make Sri Lanka rich by 2025.

01:02:25.920 So they implemented all of this stuff. They did everything the World Economic Forum said to do.

01:02:33.300 And I talked about it and read that story on the air. By the time I got off the air, the World Economic Forum had taken that story off of their website.

01:02:42.800 But do you agree that Sri Lanka is the example that we should all be looking at saying they're the ones who did it and look how it turned out? 1.00

01:02:52.720 I think it's a great example. Unfortunately, Glenn, I would love to say it is the example.

01:02:58.060 Unfortunately, we're seeing more and more examples by the day.

01:03:01.140 I mean, look, look, look what's happening in Ghana. Look what's happening in the Netherlands.

01:03:05.200 Look at what's happening in the United States and Canada at a smaller scale.

01:03:08.840 We have an energy supply shortage that we just talked about in this country.

01:03:11.580 But you're right. Sri Lanka is a great example to see what happens when these toxic philosophies are taken to their logical extent. 0.98

01:03:19.500 And, you know, I think that this is a transnational issue, Glenn. It is a transpartisan issue.

01:03:24.560 It goes beyond partisan boundaries, national boundaries. It is a global monarchy.

01:03:29.360 And it's going to take a revolution to fight.

01:03:30.560 I agree. You're exactly right. Vivek, thank you so much.

01:03:35.340 Be a part of that revolution because we're in one, whether you like it or not.

01:03:41.580 And we don't need to pick up our guns. We need to inform ourselves and inform our neighbors.

01:03:49.080 Knowledge. Knowledge is power.

01:03:52.940 Back in a minute.

01:03:58.440 The Glenn Back Program.

01:04:00.020 You know, they say walking is good for you.

01:04:03.880 I don't believe it, but, you know, sounds like a lie that somebody like George Soros would make the world walk.

01:04:11.020 Yeah, nice try, Soros, but you're not following me.

01:04:14.140 Anyway, this means protecting my car because I don't want to walk every place.

01:04:20.020 You've got to have your car working.

01:04:22.660 It's, you know, we're not living in Europe.

01:04:24.440 We're living in America where, man, you can drive 40 minutes to work every day.

01:04:30.980 CarShield offers the protection plans for around 100 bucks a month, and it will cover more parts than ever before.

01:04:38.220 So if your car has 5,000 or 150,000 miles on it, it doesn't matter.

01:04:42.540 When you need a repair, you don't have to deal with the paperwork, the headaches.

01:05:52.260 Most people don't know the history of the Purple Heart.

01:06:00.940 The Purple Heart medal is now awarded if you were wounded in combat.

01:06:06.700 But that is not what the Purple Heart set out to be.

01:06:09.940 The reason why the Purple Heart is a Purple Heart and has the bust of George Washington on it is because the Purple Heart used to be called the Merit Badge, the Badge of Merit.

01:06:24.140 And it was something that George Washington did in the Revolutionary War.

01:06:28.480 It was the first civilian medal that was allowed.

01:06:34.100 If you were an officer, you could get medals.

01:06:36.680 Anybody under an officer, you couldn't get any medals.

01:06:39.900 And so he made this as the first enlisted man's badge of merit.

01:06:46.860 And it didn't matter.

01:06:48.380 You could be an enlisted man.

01:06:49.580 You could be a captain and you could still earn this.

01:06:54.340 George Washington knew that they were up against the the most fierce enemy that anyone had ever faced.

01:07:02.840 They were against the the nation that said the sun never sets on our empire.

01:07:10.680 And it was true. 0.94

01:07:12.200 Most valuable, most powerful army, military, navy in existence at the time.

01:07:19.760 And we were a bunch of farmers.

01:07:20.940 So he looked for things that would bring would bring favor upon our people because we were people of merit and we were doing things that would find favor in the eyes of God.

01:07:39.040 He believed that's the only way to win is if we deserve to win because we're a good, decent people.

01:07:47.280 So I wanted to bring this back.

01:07:49.460 It was lost up until FDR.

01:07:51.960 He's the guy who reinstated the the the merit badge or the the purple heart.

01:07:57.020 But it's not for merit anymore.

01:07:58.980 But I think to win this battle, we have to be people of merit and honor and integrity and kindness and decency.

01:08:07.080 Now, that doesn't mean you're not you're not tough, but you're you're also a softy at heart when it comes to people.

01:08:17.980 You have empathy. So I have three nominations and we're going to award it tomorrow.

01:08:23.160 The first Glenn Beck program badge of merit.

01:08:27.280 And these are the three people that we have narrowed it down to this week.

01:08:31.980 Terry, the general Terry is a Vietnam veteran.

01:08:36.640 By the way, these were all nominated from members of the audience.

01:08:39.620 So when I'm reading these, think of people that that come to mind that, you know, that might deserve next week.

01:08:45.380 Terry is a Vietnam veteran.

01:08:48.120 He's the man behind our brother's house, which is a recovery home for men that follow the 12 step program in Munster, Texas.

01:08:56.680 He was nominated by a man who lived in that home for six years and went through his recovery program and is now seven and a half years sober.

01:09:07.880 It began in 2012 in Gainesville, then moved to Munster in 2015.

01:09:12.840 It houses about 40 minute 40 men.

01:09:16.180 The program is free and completely privately funded to avoid any government strings.

01:09:23.000 The facility focuses on recovery and work.

01:09:26.840 And according to the guy who nominated, it requires no money to get in.

01:09:31.620 You have to convince Terry and his assistants that you're ready to quit drinking and drugging.

01:09:36.320 And that's it.

01:09:37.460 There are rules and regulations, of course.

01:09:39.540 Chores are assigned and they have to be done.

01:09:41.920 But after you've been there for a while, they'll assist you with finding a job.

01:09:47.420 AA or NA meetings are mandatory unless you're at work and you can stay as long as you need, as long as you follow the rules and you stay sober.

01:09:57.160 The guy who nominated Terry said he's a very fair man, but he doesn't put up with BS.

01:10:02.400 He's just one of us.

01:10:03.660 He sees a con game a mile away.

01:10:05.920 He has lots of love in his heart.

01:10:07.580 He's hard on guys at times because he cares.

01:10:10.340 He's like a father figure to many.

01:10:12.400 I have seen well over 600 men of all ages, including teens, come and go.

01:10:17.560 Many of them made it and go on to live and prosper.

01:10:21.200 Some have died, but all of them have been forever touched by this man.

01:10:26.060 I can't think of anything more meritorious than walking with grace with God, saving lives and giving back to the community, feeding the hungry.

01:10:35.480 Terry leads this charge.

01:10:37.460 I call him the general because he's had the vision and continues to have it, whatever it takes to carry on his recovery program forward one day at a time.

01:10:48.840 That's nominee number one.

01:10:51.860 Nominee number two is the resilient mom.

01:10:55.420 Jenny Taylor's husband, Brent Taylor.

01:10:57.600 He was a major in the Utah Army National Guard, and he died serving in Afghanistan in 2018.

01:11:04.980 Oh, my gosh.

01:11:07.800 She was left to parent their seven children all alone.

01:11:11.340 Not only is she there for her own family, but families of military members all across the country.

01:11:15.900 After her husband's death on the day that would have been his 40th birthday, she founded the Major Brent Taylor Foundation based in Utah.

01:11:25.360 The foundation has three major points of focus.

01:11:28.500 Training up service-oriented leaders, honoring military members and their family, and engaging in meaningful acts of service.

01:11:38.160 The foundation hosts leadership training programs, provides scholarships, and holds events and ceremonies for military families and military members.

01:11:47.320 Jenny has been a spokesperson for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, appeared briefly on news outlets talking about her husband, but rarely has her own merit been publicly celebrated.

01:11:59.080 Not only has she raised a family of seven alone with faith, love, and grace, but in the midst of tragedy, she dedicated herself to the service of others.

01:12:07.060 She is the one person that comes to mind when I think of honor, merit, integrity, and selflessness.

01:12:12.260 So there's two people that started a foundation, but I want to make sure that you understand as you nominate people that it doesn't have to be somebody who has done, like started a foundation or done something miraculous.

01:12:30.280 The merit award goes to people who quietly serve as well.

01:12:35.600 Now, these two that I just read quietly serve.

01:12:38.460 They're not looking for attention.

01:12:39.760 However, I want to make sure that it is the small acts that we don't miss, because most of us can do these small acts every single day, which brings me to Kim, the good neighbor. 0.70

01:12:55.120 This is the message from the person nominating.

01:12:59.400 I lost my husband to suicide in 2015.

01:13:03.300 My neighbor who lives across the street has always been there when I need anything.

01:13:07.820 I'm 70 years old.

01:13:10.800 When COVID happened, Kim would get me things that I needed at the grocery store and wouldn't let me pay for them.

01:13:17.700 When I needed a colonoscopy, she took off time at work to take me.

01:13:22.480 She mowed my lawn one time when I was trying to mow it myself, and it was too hot for me, and I was trying to do it after work.

01:13:30.460 She finished mowing it for me.

01:13:32.820 She takes my trash barrels out when the weather is bad.

01:13:36.240 She took me to eat on my birthday.

01:13:39.700 Anytime I need anything, she's there.

01:13:42.560 If I don't feel well, she keeps her cell phone on all night in case I need help.

01:13:48.600 That is a good neighbor.

01:13:50.580 These three are up for the merit award.

01:13:55.900 The merit badge, the first ever, will be awarded tomorrow, and I urge you to nominate somebody.

01:14:04.980 Look for somebody that is making life easier for people, and we have to learn from them

01:14:12.660 and recognize that there's a lot of really good people there, and hopefully, as more of us see those good people,

01:14:20.940 we'll want to be good people, and it will spread because the world needs empathy, and it needs courage right now.

01:14:31.160 You can nominate at glennbeck.com.

01:14:34.980 Just go there on the front page.

01:14:36.140 You'll see where you can nominate somebody for the badge of merit, and we'll give that award out tomorrow.

01:14:40.960 I want to leave you with this.

01:14:42.260 This comes from Thomas Jefferson.

01:14:44.520 He wrote a letter to Peter Carr, his nephew, and it is one of the best letters I've ever read.

01:14:51.980 It's the one that changed my life, where he talks about questioning with boldness even the very existence of God.

01:15:01.100 For if there be a God, he must surely rather honest questioning over blindfolded fear.

01:15:06.500 In that same letter, he said this.

01:15:09.380 Give up money.

01:15:10.940 Give up fame.

01:15:12.540 Give up science.

01:15:14.120 Give the earth itself and all it contains rather than to do an immoral act.

01:15:21.980 Never suppose that any possible situation or under any circumstances that it is best for you to do a dishonorable thing,

01:15:31.940 however slight it might appear to you.

01:15:35.880 Whenever you are to do a thing, ask yourself how you would act were all the world looking at you,

01:15:45.180 and then act accordingly.

01:15:48.620 Thomas Jefferson.

01:15:49.800 Back in just a second, our sponsor this half hour is Rough Greens.

01:15:56.320 I have to tell you, Uno in the last three months has slowed way down, way down.

01:16:04.180 And I'm hoping we don't lose him soon.

01:16:08.220 But he has really slowed down.

01:16:12.440 And it came on so fast.

01:16:14.580 It's so weird because our other German Shepherds have, you know, you see them fade over a long period of time.

01:16:22.100 And Uno has been so young and energetic and everything until recently.

01:16:27.960 And part of me is hoping that Rough Greens has extended his life and shortened the bad years for him and kept him going and healthy as long as he possibly could before age finally set in.

01:16:47.520 And Rough Greens is not a dog food.

01:16:50.240 It's a supplement that I put on his food.

01:16:53.100 And it has truly made a huge difference in his life and in our life.

01:16:59.480 He is just my best friend.

01:17:01.600 I just love him.

01:17:03.140 Try it with your dog.

01:17:04.680 See the difference that Rough Greens can make.

01:17:07.000 Now, they want to send you a first trial bag.

01:17:09.480 They'll send it to you for free.

01:17:10.580 You just pay for shipping.

01:17:12.140 But that's just to see if your dog will eat it, if your dog will like it.

01:17:16.160 Every dog that I or every owner that I've talked to about their dog, they all say that they gobble it up.

01:17:22.120 It's like dog crack.

01:17:23.340 But just to make sure that your dog likes it so you're not out of any money, get the trial bag.

01:17:28.640 Then if they eat it, start them on a regular diet of whatever you're feeding with Rough Greens on top.

01:17:37.060 And watch over the months the difference it will make in your dog.

01:17:57.780 You know, I'm just I'm just thinking here about are we a nation of laws or a nation of men?

01:18:19.340 Now, we George Washington said we are a nature.

01:18:23.260 We are a nation of laws, not of men, which means that it doesn't matter your station in life.

01:18:31.180 It doesn't matter if you're poor or you're rich.

01:18:36.260 It doesn't matter if you are white or black.

01:18:39.620 The idea of America is that it is equal justice because justice is blind.

01:18:46.980 I cannot tell you that we live in that nation at all anymore, at all.

01:18:54.640 And I think we are very close to losing.

01:18:58.740 Losing forever.

01:19:00.000 I mean, once you change some of the fundamentals, if ESG is allowed to continue and it changes our energy, it changes our lifestyle, et cetera, et cetera.

01:19:11.920 We're not getting it back.

01:19:13.960 It's just not coming back.

01:19:16.600 And we are so close to that.

01:19:20.060 And so you understand what kind of world that is.

01:19:24.880 Whoever is in power, the other side will be criminalized immediately.

01:19:32.560 And the other side can get away with anything.

01:19:35.100 It is the old Soviet Union kind of style, where if you're a party member, you know, as long as your crime isn't against the party, you're fine.

01:19:44.260 You're fine.

01:19:46.280 And isn't that what we're seeing with Hunter Biden?

01:19:51.340 Tonight, we have a special on Hunter Biden and the the Biden crime family. 0.87

01:19:58.420 And I'm going to be addressing something that I have not addressed before, and that is his sexual perversions.

01:20:06.220 There is there's something deeply disturbing about all of this that I don't think anybody has the guts to say out loud.

01:20:13.800 And I will tonight.

01:20:16.000 Don't miss criminal cronies, the never ending trail of the Biden crime corruption.

01:20:22.500 So that's tonight, 9 p.m.

01:20:24.900 Only on Blaze TV.

01:20:26.100 Don't miss it.

01:20:26.940 You know, these specials are usually way ahead of the news.

01:20:31.260 It's so amazing.

01:20:32.260 I watch people and they're like, hey, did you know?

01:20:34.620 And I'm like, yeah, yeah, we did that on a special about a year ago.

01:20:38.320 But hey, media, good job.

01:20:40.960 You're only a year or 12 years late.

01:20:44.680 Anyway, that's tonight at 9 p.m.

01:20:46.800 And I think this kind of goes to the same thing with the January 6 guys.

01:20:51.260 I mean, well, let me let me do this.

01:20:53.620 Look at what they're doing with January 6.

01:20:55.880 And the what are they calling it?

01:20:58.600 The Colbert nine.

01:21:00.020 Yeah.

01:21:00.780 The people who who were not supposed to be in the capital and they were roaming around and told to leave, et cetera, et cetera.

01:21:09.680 No charges.

01:21:10.700 No charges.

01:21:11.600 Nothing.

01:21:11.960 But if that would have been me, I can guarantee you I would have been called a January 6, sir.

01:21:19.040 Well, especially if you went into the Capitol building and started parading, that would have been, I hope you would have been locked up.

01:21:27.420 Don't get me started on parading.

01:21:28.160 Right.

01:21:28.840 Because it's so heinous.

01:21:30.820 You can't even fathom how heinous parading is.

01:21:34.680 I know.

01:21:35.180 Well, it's not just parading.

01:21:36.920 It's parading without a permit.

01:21:39.160 Yeah.

01:21:39.480 You know what I mean?

01:21:40.140 I don't have a problem.

01:21:41.100 If you want to parade, you know, and you have a permit, go ahead.

01:21:44.920 But parading without a permit, unconscionable.

01:21:49.000 Holy cow. 0.89

01:21:49.820 I was just.

01:21:50.580 See, that's what I mean, though.

01:21:52.060 Go ahead.

01:21:52.580 That is the prime example of how there is no equal justice.

01:21:58.600 They had to go after these guys to make a point.

01:22:03.200 And so they had to come up with something that grandma was doing.

01:22:06.820 Well, she was parading on January 6th.

01:22:09.660 That's that's not justice.

01:22:11.580 That's not justice.

01:22:12.600 And they've they've beaten this drum so hard and for so long.

01:22:17.760 It's just really hard to take.

01:22:19.020 And you and I are both really pissed off that it happened at all because it hurts the right a lot.

01:22:24.880 It makes us look bad.

01:22:26.520 But I was just reading an article yesterday that said this insurrection, which took the lives of five people.

01:22:32.660 What?

01:22:33.740 No.

01:22:34.220 Five people.

01:22:34.620 No, it didn't.

01:22:35.740 No, it did not.

01:22:36.560 They include the cop who had two strokes and the other two cops weeks later committed suicide.

01:22:44.680 And the only people that were actually killed were the woman that was trampled by police and Ashley Babbitt, who got shot in the throat.

01:22:54.080 Right.

01:22:54.640 So the good guys killed to the bad guys killed.

01:22:59.280 No, one right back program.

01:23:04.060 Sometimes you don't know what it's like to experience good, clean air until you've been without it for a while.

01:23:09.680 I want to tell you about Eden Pures, Thunderstorm Air Purifier.

01:23:15.200 This is really, truly amazing.

01:23:17.660 The smells that accumulate over time in your kitchen, in your house, especially if you cook a lot or your refrigerator.

01:23:23.480 Boy, I put one in my refrigerator, which was what was that bad?

01:23:27.880 And that cleaned it up within an hour.

01:23:32.000 The thunderstorm doesn't just cover them up.

01:23:34.180 It destroys them.

01:23:35.520 They use O3 molecules and the thunderstorm actually cleans the air.

01:23:40.560 It doesn't mask it with chemical smells or it smells like lemons.

01:23:44.920 It's just clean air.

01:24:46.220 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:25:04.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program. 1.00

01:25:12.100 Hello, you sick, twisted freak. 1.00

01:25:14.340 Welcome to the program. 1.00

01:25:16.480 Well, Miriam has changed her dictionary again.

01:25:22.020 I love Miriam.

01:25:24.080 I love her.

01:25:25.360 She's a sweet old lady. 0.99

01:25:27.720 But she's very, very woke now.

01:25:31.020 And they've changed the dictionary definition of female.

01:25:37.560 Unbelievable.

01:25:39.360 We'll give you all the information in 60 seconds.

01:25:42.180 With summer vacation season still going full steam ahead, it is important to protect yourself from identity theft while you're traveling.

01:25:50.200 One of the most widespread risks to personal information is pickpocketing, which I read a story today.

01:25:56.300 They say the worst pickpocketing is happening in France.

01:26:00.780 Out of all the world, France is number one.

01:26:03.560 Now, Pat, when I read this, they said the worst pickpocketing is happening in France.

01:26:10.060 And I didn't know.

01:26:10.700 Does that mean there's a lot of really good pickpocketers or the pickpocketers are really bad?

01:26:17.720 I don't know which.

01:26:20.680 Yeah.

01:26:21.280 I don't know.

01:26:22.340 Yeah.

01:26:23.040 Yeah.

01:26:24.200 I mean, I would usually say the worst pickpocketing means that you have a good chance of being pickpocketed.

01:26:29.960 But everything is upside down now.

01:26:31.520 Maybe they're like, these guys really got to get it together.

01:26:34.540 You got to go to Spain, really, and learn from those guys.

01:26:37.960 Anyway, your credit cards, your social security number, your driver's license, if they have those things, identity thieves have all the information that they need.

01:26:46.500 They don't throw the wallet away anymore.

01:26:48.800 They keep those cards.

01:26:50.740 That's money in the bank for them.

01:26:54.040 That's why you have LifeLock.

01:26:55.340 They can't catch everything.

01:26:56.580 No one can.

01:27:15.340 Oh, my gosh.

01:27:16.500 Pat, I don't know if you have seen this, but there are some really disturbing things.

01:27:22.940 People don't know how to define a woman. 1.00

01:27:26.560 And so that's why we go to Miriam.

01:27:29.480 Miriam Webster.

01:27:30.860 You know Miriam, don't you, real well?

01:27:33.620 Oh, yeah.

01:27:34.080 Real well, don't you?

01:27:34.920 Yeah.

01:27:35.380 Yeah, she's sweet. 0.70

01:27:36.560 Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet old lady. 0.89

01:27:39.200 Anyway, they have changed now and added the definition of female that defines the word female as having a gender identity that is opposite of male.

01:27:54.820 So female isn't even its own thing. 1.00

01:28:01.500 It's just opposite of male. 0.94

01:28:03.160 I'm telling you, this is such an anti-woman movement, isn't it?

01:28:08.560 Oh, absolutely.

01:28:09.100 I mean, look, it's destroying women's sports. 1.00

01:28:14.540 It's destroying women's records. 1.00

01:28:17.220 It's discouraging because, hey, yeah, call me Kathy.

01:28:24.260 I'm going to just lift some weights here, see if you can do it.

01:28:27.840 All right, Kathy.

01:28:28.900 Of course, we're destroying everything about being a female. 1.00

01:28:34.440 It is so anti-woman. 0.67

01:28:36.980 Anyway, gender identity is what they say is the definition of a female, and that's not directly connected to sex.

01:28:47.300 Female is a woman. 1.00

01:28:49.280 Trans-identifying males are not females. 0.75

01:28:53.300 However, according to trans activists, men can be women.

01:28:58.900 Okay, okay, okay.

01:29:01.280 Wow.

01:29:02.840 Wow.

01:29:03.440 When this swings back, the whiplash is going to be very bad.

01:29:10.520 Very bad.

01:29:11.880 By the way, gender activists now push to bar anthropologists from identifying remains as male or female.

01:29:20.520 Because we don't know how they identified when they were alive.

01:29:24.180 Yeah.

01:29:24.540 Yeah.

01:29:24.840 Okay.

01:29:25.680 Yeah.

01:29:26.060 That makes sense.

01:29:26.660 Wouldn't it be really good when we find a body buried in the woods and they say, you know, it was a 17-year-old?

01:29:34.420 Well, we don't know.

01:29:35.620 We don't know.

01:29:36.320 17 years old.

01:29:37.820 But that's all we know.

01:29:39.700 That's it.

01:29:40.200 Could be a male.

01:29:40.880 Could be a female. 1.00

01:29:41.520 Could be a dog.

01:29:42.240 Don't know.

01:29:42.800 Have no idea.

01:29:43.820 So we're defying science right now.

01:29:46.420 We're ignoring science.

01:29:47.620 We're changing the meanings of words.

01:29:49.860 We're changing how you identify people as, you know, what specific gender they are for 0.07% of the population.

01:30:04.140 Yes.

01:30:04.540 It's an amazing movement, isn't it?

01:30:06.320 It's incredible.

01:30:07.720 It is.

01:30:08.820 And along the lines.

01:30:09.760 It's where along the lines, ignoring women's rights and that the left is supposed to be all about protecting women. 0.92

01:30:18.440 I thought. 0.98

01:30:19.600 And now they don't seem to give a rat's anus about women. 0.99

01:30:23.340 If. 0.98

01:30:24.580 And you know why?

01:30:25.940 You know why?

01:30:26.760 Honestly, I think it's anti mother.

01:30:29.760 I think it's anti procreators.

01:30:35.260 It's anti human.

01:30:36.300 This is an anti human movement.

01:30:39.680 You know, when when you look at climate change and all of that stuff, they believe that it is better to impoverish the entire world than to drive a car, you know, than than to, you know, hurt a single animal.

01:30:57.040 You know, they're talking about taking the five dams off of the Snake River from Washington and Idaho.

01:31:03.520 Those are five dams.

01:31:04.920 That's 90, 80 or 90% of the clean, efficient electricity for this region.

01:31:14.620 And they're just taking away.

01:31:16.100 Why?

01:31:16.400 Because the salmon are having a hard time swimming upstream.

01:31:20.860 But don't worry about the 65 million human babies they've eliminated.

01:31:27.040 Over the last 50 years.

01:31:28.380 Don't worry about that.

01:31:29.240 That's perfectly fine.

01:31:30.240 They don't care.

01:31:31.360 It's also anti human.

01:31:33.060 Listen to this one.

01:31:33.860 See if you can even get your brain wrapped around this one.

01:31:37.120 There's a new concern in the relatively new field of so called climate anxiety.

01:31:43.880 Okay, so now I guess we have people that are studying climate anxiety, the people who have anxiety because of the climate change.

01:31:53.860 Wired reports this unbearable whiteness caused a growing discomfort in California State Polytechnic University.

01:32:03.360 The Humboldt professor Sarah Ray, who is white.

01:32:07.640 In early 2021, she wrote an op-ed about it.

01:32:11.400 She said, quote, a year into the pandemic and after the murder of George Floyd and the protests that followed.

01:32:17.300 And the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

01:32:19.580 I am deeply concerned about the racial implications of climate anxiety.

01:32:27.120 If people of color are more concerned about climate change than white people, why is the interest in climate anxiety so white?

01:32:36.600 Is climate anxiety a form of white fragility or even racial anxiety?

01:32:42.020 Oh, my God, these people need to get a job, man.

01:32:47.920 I mean, a real job.

01:32:49.200 Can you imagine your whole job is just to come up with new things that you can be against and worry about?

01:32:59.500 They've got our kids.

01:33:01.020 The worst part of this, probably, is what they've done to our children.

01:33:04.940 They've got them so twisted up and so afraid because they think there's going to be no world past eight years from now.

01:33:12.740 That they're scared out of their minds and it's causing them mental issues.

01:33:17.940 They're doing this to our children.

01:33:19.860 And then they turn around and call us fear mongers.

01:33:22.380 That's all they've been doing on this climate change thing is fear mongering.

01:33:27.460 This latest heat wave is the greatest thing that ever happened to them.

01:33:32.180 Do you remember when snowstorms would happen and we'd say, well, see, I guess the snow situation you were talking about that we're here not have any snow anymore.

01:33:44.100 I guess that's down the wind.

01:33:45.120 And don't confuse weather with climate.

01:33:49.760 But every single time there's a heat wave, we hear about the weather as opposed to the climate.

01:33:56.580 You know, I am so sick of you climate deniers with this.

01:33:59.420 As I told you yesterday, here in my own town, okay, right here in northern Idaho or southern Idaho, it was 10 below zero around Christmas last year.

01:34:12.820 10 below zero.

01:34:13.760 It's a hundred today.

01:34:17.240 At this rate, it will be 120 by next Christmas.

01:34:23.220 That is their logic.

01:34:25.620 It is.

01:34:26.760 It is.

01:34:27.780 It is. 1.00

01:34:29.780 And the dummies out there, I mean, half the population, we are so stupid as a nation. 1.00

01:34:36.320 Half the population is like, that makes sense. 1.00

01:34:38.700 Yeah.

01:34:39.140 Yeah.

01:34:39.640 Look at that.

01:34:40.500 Well, how are you going to argue with that?

01:34:41.700 It was 10 below and now it's a hundred.

01:34:44.120 Oh, my gosh.

01:34:46.620 It's agonizing. 1.00

01:34:47.740 So stupid. 1.00

01:34:48.100 It's agonizing. 1.00

01:34:50.120 KJP yesterday, Kareem Jean-Pierre was talking about, was asked about the climate situation, and she's very concerned.

01:35:01.000 And at least they have this covered at the White House, though.

01:35:04.860 Okay.

01:35:05.480 Here's what she had to say.

01:35:06.640 That tomorrow is not the day to declare a climate emergency.

01:35:10.120 I mean, what I can say is the president is going to do everything that he can to take action.

01:35:14.900 Again, climate, climate crisis, taking climate action is critical.

01:35:20.160 It's important.

01:35:20.620 It's critical.

01:35:20.840 You heard Kirby talk about our national security, how it threatens our national security, how it threatens the economy.

01:35:27.940 And what the president wants to continue to do is make sure that we're lowering energy costs for the American family.

01:35:33.900 Again, everything is on the table.

01:35:35.960 I'm not going to go into private discussions, policy discussions, or get ahead of the president at this time.

01:35:42.540 He's going to make some announcements today.

01:35:44.240 What I can say, this climate emergency is not going to happen tomorrow.

01:35:48.520 But we still have it on the table, and I don't have a date circle on the calendar.

01:35:55.600 This would have been madness if I would have asked you this three years ago, five years ago.

01:36:03.220 But I believe in this man's term, there is a real possibility that he declares a climate emergency and then just dictates what the oil companies have to do.

01:36:18.780 Basically, almost one step away from nationalizing them, which was the end of Venezuela, by the way.

01:36:25.920 But I believe this is the direction that he's going to go.

01:36:29.780 That would not surprise me at all.

01:36:31.420 I think we are at that point where they'll do it.

01:36:34.660 They'll just do it.

01:36:35.540 They'll do it.

01:36:36.080 Remember when Maxine Waters caught herself talking about doing it.

01:36:41.000 And guess what this liberal would be all about?

01:36:43.000 This liberal would be all about socializing.

01:36:47.920 Whoops.

01:36:48.660 Would be about.

01:36:49.680 Oops.

01:36:50.060 Would be about.

01:36:52.680 Basically.

01:36:53.360 The word you're looking for is nationalizing.

01:36:55.240 Taking over.

01:36:56.280 Yeah.

01:36:56.780 And the government running all of your companies.

01:37:00.080 All of their companies.

01:37:01.000 Yes.

01:37:01.780 So she was so afraid of letting socialism slip out of her mouth.

01:37:07.580 Yep. 1.00

01:37:07.940 And she is so dumb. 1.00

01:37:09.420 She couldn't come up with the word nationalize. 1.00

01:37:12.060 We're going to nationalize your industry.

01:37:14.720 We'll take it over.

01:37:15.980 Yep.

01:37:16.320 Oh, my gosh. 1.00

01:37:17.000 These people are stupid. 1.00

01:37:18.000 I don't think they have. 1.00

01:37:18.700 I think that's a real possibility.

01:37:21.040 Yeah.

01:37:21.200 They don't make any bones about that now.

01:37:22.860 They don't.

01:37:23.540 They don't have any problems.

01:37:24.760 Yeah.

01:37:25.160 We'll nationalize the oil industry.

01:37:26.720 Sure.

01:37:27.400 Why wouldn't we?

01:37:28.800 Look how well it worked in Venezuela.

01:37:30.220 It's great.

01:37:32.520 They don't have any problems, do they?

01:37:34.500 They don't have any problems in Venezuela.

01:37:36.580 No.

01:37:37.600 No.

01:37:38.320 Well, they had a problem with people eating zoo animals.

01:37:41.120 But now that they've all been eaten.

01:37:42.360 There's no problem with the tigers, you know.

01:37:48.580 Oh, my gosh.

01:37:49.740 Oh, my gosh.

01:37:52.500 All right.

01:37:53.620 What else is on your plate, Pat?

01:37:56.060 I know we have a couple of stories here we have to get to in just a second.

01:37:58.880 But first, let me take us to our sponsor this half hour.

01:39:57.100 All right.

01:39:58.360 Welcome to the program.

01:39:59.640 Hey, we are, we're getting a nice education from Prince Harry who showed up at the UN.

01:40:04.200 I think he believes King George is still on the throne because this is none of his business. 1.00

01:40:12.140 And I love the fact that he's sticking his stupid face into our situation here. 1.00

01:40:18.520 No, I mean, don't, don't, don't be so, don't, don't dismiss the son of Prince Charles as being an idiot. 1.00

01:40:26.980 Right. 1.00

01:40:28.460 Yeah, that couldn't be right.

01:40:30.760 That's the son of Prince Charles could not be anything but a genius.

01:40:35.440 And he showed us some of that at the UN yesterday.

01:40:38.480 This has been a painful year in a painful decade.

01:40:43.600 We're living through a pandemic that continues to ravage communities in every corner of the globe.

01:40:49.500 It does?

01:40:50.480 Climate change wreaking havoc on our planet.

01:40:52.840 Every corner.

01:40:53.820 With the most vulnerable suffering most of all.

01:40:57.300 The few weaponizing lies and disinformation at the expense of the many.

01:41:01.860 And from the horrific war in Ukraine to the rolling back of constitutional rights here in the United States,

01:41:09.500 we are witnessing a global assault on democracy and freedom.

01:41:13.740 So, you know, it's, it's interesting. 0.98

01:41:15.960 You would think after you got your ass kicked in 1776, you might, that might've put an impression on the royal family to remember, 0.98

01:41:26.800 we don't understand rights the same way they understand rights. 0.99

01:41:31.120 Rights. Yeah.

01:41:32.280 Yeah.

01:41:32.660 The divine right of kings.

01:41:34.960 For this guy to talk about our constitutional rights, he has no idea what he's talking about.

01:41:41.180 None.

01:41:41.860 Clearly.

01:41:42.580 Yeah.

01:41:43.980 As was pointed out in the majority opinion, there is no and has never been a constitutional right to abortion.

01:41:52.140 So, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

01:41:53.780 That doesn't mean, that doesn't mean that your town, your town or your state can't say that we believe this is a human right.

01:42:03.340 You'd have a hard time explaining that to me.

01:42:05.580 But your state can do that.

01:42:07.740 But you don't have a constitutional right.

01:42:10.680 That's why they reverse this, because there is no right in the Constitution.

01:42:15.640 And the federal government has to, if you're claiming rights, if it's not in the Constitution, the federal government must stay out of it.

01:42:24.960 It goes back to the states and the people. 0.55

01:42:27.020 Which is an amazing thing and has been touched on a little bit, but I don't think enough.

01:42:32.480 The Supreme Court actually gave up federal power there.

01:42:36.220 They actually ceded back their power to the states.

01:42:40.380 That's almost unprecedented.

01:42:42.600 It just doesn't happen.

01:42:43.880 I know.

01:42:44.260 And yet they did it, and they're getting vilified and demonized for it.

01:42:48.200 And yeah, because here he is again, an heir to the throne of England, who we tried to teach this lesson to back then.

01:43:00.780 Yeah, we don't have these rights.

01:43:04.600 And remember King George said, what was it?

01:43:08.620 Oh, if George Washington would give up all of that power and not run a third term and just keep this power to himself.

01:43:18.400 He'll be the greatest man to ever live because we know he'll never do it.

01:43:23.340 Yeah.

01:43:23.940 See, we think differently than you royals.

01:43:26.600 We do.

01:43:27.240 Yeah.

01:43:27.540 We do.

01:43:27.920 And can you imagine the reaction in Britain?

01:43:32.660 If this was an American telling their parliament that we don't appreciate the laws that you're making here in Britain.

01:43:43.840 I mean, there would be such outrage, such an outcry about ugly Americanism, that the person would be drummed out of their country, which is exactly what should happen here with Prince Harry, come to think of it.

01:43:58.280 He should immediately be deported.

01:44:01.880 I think he's going to be leaving.

01:44:03.060 That marriage is not going to last.

01:44:05.160 That marriage is just not going to last. 1.00

01:44:07.100 He, I mean, she is a monster. 0.96

01:44:11.380 A lot of people think these are her ideas too, that she's infecting him with. 0.96

01:44:17.260 I, I, I wouldn't, I wouldn't put it past her.

01:44:20.640 Not popular, uh, not a popular woman, either in Britain or in America.

01:44:27.120 And it's too bad because, you know, when she was in the show Suits, I think people actually kind of liked her, but not as a big mouth royal, uh, and especially not one.

01:44:38.000 You know, what's really weird, you know, what's really weird is when people say, oh, I watched the, the show Suits.

01:44:44.480 I really like her.

01:44:45.480 No, you like her character, right?

01:44:48.240 You know, you don't know her actual character.

01:44:52.740 You're watching her play a character and that's what you like.

01:44:56.720 And let's be honest, you could have had the sound down and you would have liked it.

01:45:02.120 Yeah.

01:45:02.560 There's a little truth to that.

01:45:03.880 Probably.

01:45:05.580 She's not terrible to look at.

01:45:07.600 Um, yeah, no, but you know, neither one of them keep their mouth shut.

01:45:11.340 So they're agonizing at all times.

01:45:14.960 Yeah.

01:45:16.780 Uh, let me, uh, let me switch subjects here.

01:45:19.120 We're going to go to Eric July here in just a second.

01:45:21.960 Eric is an amazing guy.

01:45:24.860 He's a blaze contributor and he is going after Marvel.

01:45:28.920 He's going after DC.

01:45:30.660 He's going after all of these comics that are so very woke.

01:45:36.060 And he is sending a powerful message to those guys.

01:45:40.840 Uh, we're going to talk to him about his new comic coming up.

01:45:47.260 The Glenn back program, American financing, NMLS, one, eight, two, three, three, four,

01:45:52.600 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

01:45:55.780 Inflation is destroying our spending power right now.

01:46:00.740 Money is becoming less and less valuable all the time.

01:46:03.540 And it's forcing us to change the way we handle our finances.

01:46:06.400 So what can you do to protect yourself and get ahead?

01:46:09.340 Believe it or not, it's pretty easy.

01:46:10.700 Give American financing a call and get that free mortgage review.

01:46:14.780 I've been telling you about for years.

01:46:16.500 You can learn about custom loans that might fit your budget better from flexible terms

01:46:21.480 to debt consolidation, even the ability just to access cash.

01:46:25.960 They do it all and they can work with a credit score as low as 500.

01:46:30.600 So if you didn't qualify before, you might qualify now.

01:46:33.580 No pressure, no obligation.

01:46:36.380 Why wouldn't you at least call to find out more?

01:46:38.760 Give them a call.

01:46:40.440 If you like what you hear, you can close as little as 10 days.

01:47:08.060 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:47:18.700 You know, the thing I love about the host on Blaze TV is they all own their own shows.

01:47:26.800 I own my show and Pat owns his.

01:47:29.340 Eric July owns his.

01:47:30.360 And so you attract entrepreneurs.

01:47:35.700 And Eric July is an entrepreneur, man.

01:47:38.860 I can't tell you, Eric, how happy I am for you.

01:47:42.620 When I first saw the news that you were putting out a comic book and you were crowdfunding and you were looking for a million dollars and you hit that in the first 24 hours.

01:47:53.820 And now you're almost up to three million dollars.

01:47:57.720 I have to tell you, God bless America.

01:48:02.080 You you are sending.

01:48:04.240 I'm guessing I'm guessing I don't know because I don't know the comic world.

01:48:09.500 But if I'm sitting there at Marvel, as I'm looking at things like how badly Thor did and Disney, how bad their numbers are starting to look. 0.81

01:48:19.800 And DC, which just always sucks.

01:48:22.500 I'm thinking we we should probably not go so deep into the woke front.

01:48:28.960 Have you seen what Ripaverse is doing?

01:48:32.060 This has been just an incredible experience.

01:48:34.740 And I've been talking about the state of the comic book industry for a very long time.

01:48:38.780 And for us to put this out and to get the reception that we got, it just reassures kind of everything it was that I was saying.

01:48:47.980 And that is that people still want this stuff.

01:48:51.240 They might be going out to try to, let's say, import, let's say, someone else's material like the Japanese with manga because the American stuff sucks right now so much.

01:49:01.860 But this proved that, hey, people still want this stuff.

01:49:05.720 They're still enthusiastic about it.

01:49:08.000 They just don't want any of the nonsense that's tied, certainly, to the American comic book industry right now.

01:49:13.640 So this has just been insane in the sense that it just reassures everything that I've been talking about for a while.

01:49:20.640 And, Eric, the best example of this, I think, is the latest Thor, which is just laden with wokeness.

01:49:29.680 Every relationship in the movie, just about, is a gay relationship. 0.77

01:49:35.500 And then they throw in the thing where the two gay men have a biological baby together. 0.51

01:49:44.140 And so they're even doing things that don't make any sense just to bend over backward and pander to the LGBTQ committee, which is fine if you want to do that. 0.82

01:49:56.460 I mean, I don't care about the sexuality of the characters.

01:49:59.680 It's just I don't want that jammed down my throat.

01:50:02.240 I just want an enjoyable movie and an enjoyable comic book, which is what you're doing, essentially.

01:50:08.900 Exactly.

01:50:09.500 I mean, that's really all people want.

01:50:11.080 It's not about not seeing black characters or even, you know, whatever sexuality or whatever. 0.81

01:50:16.740 But when you're beating your audience over the head with it and it's clearly become just a vanity project for all of these people to write their own goofy stories.

01:50:24.640 And oftentimes they don't make sense for those characters that they wrote.

01:50:28.480 You know, I talked about this in our kind of opening kind of trailer where I discussed like, hey, you've seen your characters that you love be bastardized.

01:50:35.600 And that's the fundamental issue.

01:50:37.220 They're not creating new characters or something.

01:50:39.100 They're taking the character that everybody knows and recognize, like the Tim Drakes of the world, and they just make them bisexual out of nowhere and weird stuff like that. 0.91

01:50:48.340 So that that this resonates with so many people because they have been assured that, OK, this is something new and fresh, but we don't have to go through that.

01:50:55.900 We're not going to be gas lit by by the companies themselves, the actors or the actresses or we're not.

01:51:03.100 That's not going to happen.

01:51:04.060 And this is what people want.

01:51:05.300 So we just made it easy and just put the stuff out there.

01:51:09.100 I will tell you that, you know, you probably know this better than I do.

01:51:13.480 But the reason why we have superheroes is because of times like this, you know, back in World War Two, it was a it was such a powerful force that we didn't we felt small, insignificant and didn't know how to stop all of the problems.

01:51:32.920 So we came up with superheroes.

01:51:34.940 Well, our problems are just as big.

01:51:37.780 But our superheroes now, the ones that they're ones that now that they're woke, they're not they're just part of the problem.

01:51:46.460 It's no longer an escape and it's no longer a a a powerful being that can supersede everything else and just be above all of it.

01:51:58.720 That that's the secret to a good comic character, isn't it?

01:52:02.480 Absolutely.

01:52:03.200 And I talk about this, about acknowledging those sort of universal truths.

01:52:06.680 And that's where we got away from with the comic book industry right now.

01:52:10.720 What is just what is right?

01:52:12.480 What is, you know, good?

01:52:14.460 What is bad?

01:52:15.080 Like that stuff has gone completely out the window because a lot of folks are more obsessed with their individual social preferences and social agenda that they may have.

01:52:24.620 And it, of course, bleeds off into their work.

01:52:27.080 So these people don't look like all these characters or say definitely the superheroes, the one that are supposed to be good.

01:52:33.520 But they're more interested in using them as a vehicle to lecture them about election, their audience about stuff that they don't even care about.

01:52:40.640 And it's not about that character going around kicking butt, fighting off the evil that kind of goes out out of the realm of reality right now.

01:52:50.020 It's more about, hey, I want to use this character so you can accept my individual agenda.

01:52:55.420 And I'm going to use that character that you know and love to as a vehicle to really get this message out of there.

01:53:00.860 And it just makes for very, very bad art.

01:53:03.520 Yeah.

01:53:05.400 So tell me, because if, again, if I were in this industry, I would see you selling 30,000 copies on day one as a disturbing trend for my company.

01:53:20.720 Two questions.

01:53:22.460 Have you heard anything even through the grapevine from these companies or any reaction from these companies like Marvel?

01:53:30.440 A hundred percent.

01:53:31.360 Man, we know that's exactly what's happening as insiders that have already talked about this, about, hey, that's putting them on notice.

01:53:38.820 Disney's looking at it like, well, hey, this is something that is happening.

01:53:42.920 It's not to say that we're going to completely upend what it is that they're doing.

01:53:45.840 But, you know, you're saying that maybe junk, maybe a lot of what they're doing isn't as lucrative as what they anticipate.

01:53:53.440 So they see this guy who's been doing comic book commentary come in and make this amount of money, sell this amount of copies.

01:54:00.040 I mean, people need to understand the magnitude of this for those that don't like they would classify our book as a graphic novel, per se.

01:54:08.460 That's what they would call because of how big it is, this first book.

01:54:11.680 If you look at those sales in comparison to like the what's going to the North American comic book sales, we've already destroyed any book that they've put out that's in this genre.

01:54:21.960 Marvel, be it DC image.

01:54:24.020 We've destroyed anything that they put out all of 2021, of course, last year.

01:54:29.340 So it shows that, of course, this is a thirsty market here, but we're doing something that they said could not happen.

01:54:35.800 You can't do original characters.

01:54:37.380 You have to race swap.

01:54:38.340 You have to sexuality swap because people already have these characters that they're tied to and they recognize. 0.56

01:54:42.860 And we show, no, you give them something interesting that that they can be interested in.

01:54:47.600 Then they will certainly, you know, you'll reap the benefits.

01:54:50.600 Let's say that.

01:54:51.280 And that's what's happening right now.

01:54:52.380 So the next question is, people sometimes build businesses and they become very, very successful and a Facebook will come in and buy them and just absorb them sometimes to sit on them, sometimes to use them, but make it theirs.

01:55:12.140 Would you sell if they came to you and said, hey, we'll offer you whatever, would you sell?

01:55:18.660 They couldn't buy it for $100 million.

01:55:21.180 They couldn't buy it for $100 billion because if they're willing to pay for it that much, I can make that much myself.

01:55:26.620 So I look at it from a creative standpoint as well as a businessman.

01:55:32.860 The point of this whole thing that we're doing is that I looked at the industry.

01:55:37.220 I saw a problem with it, a fundamental issue with it, and I wanted to do things my sort of own way.

01:55:42.780 I took the, let's say, what people are doing like in a crowdfunding space.

01:55:46.580 I took it, made it my own kind of spin on it, giving people the visual numbers so they could see it and all of that while also already having the work done.

01:55:56.360 I already paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to make sure that I can make this happen, which is why we can get it to the audience relatively quick.

01:56:03.100 So if they came to me with a dollar amount, I could refuse it because, like, this is the whole point.

01:56:09.720 I don't want to have to go through you guys.

01:56:11.480 I want to be able to show folks that we can do this in a far more decentralized way than what it was before.

01:56:18.960 Yeah, as a libertarian, philosophically, that's what I want.

01:56:22.180 I don't like the idea that there's these mega corporate entities, billion-dollar corporate entities that have control of all of these properties.

01:56:28.880 We have a direct, just with the internet and the technology alone, we have a direct line of sight with our audience.

01:56:34.820 We don't have to go through the old guard anymore, and that's probably what frustrates these guys more than anything if they write these hit pieces.

01:56:42.700 It's that we're seeing success, but we're also not going through them.

01:56:46.460 So they can't give me enough money to take my property, not at all.

01:56:49.300 All right, so, Eric, can you give us just a one-minute rundown of what the characters are, what's happening in book one?

01:57:00.760 Yeah, so Isom issue number one, it deals with a character by the name of Avery Seelman.

01:57:05.680 He had before been a hero of sorts.

01:57:09.020 He got his abilities.

01:57:09.840 He started to be a hero.

01:57:11.240 And there was an event that happened that, well, he decided to kind of walk away from it.

01:57:16.160 So this story, Isom issue number one, kind of takes place with him after he had already been a hero.

01:57:22.540 He's a regular blue-collar civilian kind of in Texas.

01:57:25.540 He has his own ranch.

01:57:26.480 He's doing his own thing.

01:57:28.100 And his sister, Altona, gives him a call and wants him to visit an old friend because there was another different friend, a family friend, that was interning with his sister.

01:57:37.720 And she's like, hey, can you go check it, check this out?

01:57:41.300 She was interning with us.

01:57:42.380 She's kind of gone missing, and last I heard, your old friend, Darren Fontaine, which is his name, has had some sort of relation with her.

01:57:51.440 Go look into it.

01:57:52.540 So even though he doesn't like being in the city, he's going to, for the sake of his sister, for the sake of this old friend, he's going to go check this out.

01:58:00.200 And, of course, he has kind of the longest day in his life meeting all these interesting characters that all of you guys are going to, of course, enjoy.

01:58:07.540 I know people are going to love it.

01:58:08.960 So I wanted to tell this story in the way that it is because I don't think there's a lot of Texas heroes that are out there.

01:58:14.580 And I was like, let's give it a shot.

01:58:16.000 So is it a superpower?

01:58:19.040 Yeah, he does have a superpower.

01:58:20.460 He does have superpowers.

01:58:21.860 People will find out exactly what those are in the book.

01:58:25.200 He does have certain abilities.

01:58:26.760 It's not as I know people are guessing.

01:58:28.340 That's the cool thing about comics.

01:58:29.800 Everybody has their theories and everything.

01:58:31.480 We're already seeing that.

01:58:32.620 We did this in a very unique way.

01:58:35.060 Did he fall into toxic waste or was he bitten by a bat?

01:58:39.000 No, was it bitten by an animal that gave him his powers or anything like that?

01:58:44.880 All right.

01:58:46.660 I can't wait to get it.

01:58:48.780 And I would like a first edition for our museum as well.

01:58:52.220 You got it.

01:58:52.540 I think this is going to be big.

01:58:55.140 And you already know that.

01:58:57.340 Where can you go to buy one?

01:59:00.120 Of course, Ripperverse.com.

01:59:02.160 You can go get the book.

01:59:03.800 You can go get a bunch of other items that we have.

01:59:06.680 A couple of different covers.

01:59:07.800 A few different covers, actually.

01:59:09.420 As well as different.

01:59:11.260 We got trading cards.

01:59:12.220 We got all kinds of merchandise items.

01:59:13.920 Shirts.

01:59:14.280 Everything.

01:59:14.760 Hats.

01:59:15.040 You can get all kinds of stuff that's associated with it over at Ripperverse.com.

01:59:20.120 I love it.

01:59:21.820 Ripperverse.

01:59:22.380 R-I-P-P-A-verse.com.

01:59:25.720 Eric, congratulations.

01:59:27.400 We'll talk to you again, my friend.

01:59:28.540 All right.

01:59:28.880 See you soon.

01:59:29.300 Bye-bye.

01:59:29.540 Bye-bye.

01:59:30.720 Yep.

01:59:32.160 Love that.

01:59:34.040 All right.

01:59:34.320 Let me tell you about Goldline.

01:59:36.580 Goldline is there as a hedge against inflation.

01:59:40.520 But I don't look at it as an investment myself.

01:59:44.780 I look at it as insurance against insanity.

01:59:48.840 And if you don't think the world is insane now and still headed for crazier things, you're

01:59:57.520 fooling yourself.

01:59:58.720 Please call Goldline now and find out if you can take some of your money from your 401k or

02:00:06.320 your IRA and move some of your money into precious metals.

02:00:12.260 Keep it there, but move it into precious metals as a hedge against the dollar.

02:00:17.520 It's so important.

02:00:18.680 And you can receive 6% in free promotional metals when you start an IRA or you add to an

02:00:25.020 existing account.

02:00:25.880 6% adds up quickly.

02:00:28.140 So don't sleep on that amount of free gold or silver.

02:00:31.260 Make sure you call today and do your own homework.

02:00:34.700 Find out if it is right for you.

02:00:36.180 It's right for my family.

02:00:37.560 866-GOLDLINE.

02:00:39.300 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

02:00:41.880 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

02:00:44.500 The Glenn Beck Program.

02:01:02.920 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

02:01:06.080 I am so excited for Eric July and Ripaverse.

02:01:09.700 I just, I love the fact that we live in a time now that is completely unique and may actually

02:01:18.660 become extinct at some point in the future.

02:01:22.080 But we live in a time right now where the average person can make a huge impact.

02:01:29.720 I mean, look what he's doing.

02:01:30.880 Yeah, he was just telling me that it's even better than 30,000 copies of the first edition.

02:01:36.760 He's already sold close to 50,000.

02:01:40.020 And just to put that into perspective, the best-selling comic book of the last year, I think, was 24,000 copies sold.

02:01:48.860 So he's almost doubled that in his first effort.

02:01:52.120 Pretty amazing.

02:01:53.300 And it does show that there's a thirst for it.

02:01:55.800 24,000 copies over the entire year?

02:02:00.180 Yeah.

02:02:01.060 Yeah.

02:02:02.120 Oh, my gosh.

02:02:03.340 And he's been out for a week.

02:02:04.760 Yeah.

02:02:05.200 Maybe two.

02:02:05.780 And I don't think he's done yet.

02:02:07.140 I don't think it's done.

02:02:08.220 Oh, no.

02:02:08.840 That's amazing.

02:02:09.500 I think he's just getting started.

02:02:10.760 That's amazing.

02:02:11.560 Yeah.

02:02:12.600 Well, that's great.

02:02:14.280 Well, I'm coming back to Dallas for a couple of days.

02:02:17.340 I've got to do a meeting.

02:02:19.640 And so I'm coming back to Dallas.

02:02:20.960 So I'll be in the studio with you tomorrow.

02:02:22.440 Maybe we can have some breakfast tacos, which are as unique as Hispanic women. 1.00

02:02:30.360 That's a good idea.

02:02:31.740 That's great.

02:02:32.620 Lynn.

02:02:34.180 Yeah.

02:02:35.780 She's so great.

02:02:36.920 Isn't she wonderful?

02:02:37.780 I think she's the worst.

02:02:40.520 The worst first lady in my lifetime. 1.00

02:02:43.780 I can't think of it. 1.00

02:02:45.080 Oh, shut up. 1.00

02:02:45.460 No, I think she is. 1.00

02:02:46.460 I think since at least Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton, that's pretty bad.

02:02:51.760 But I think I think Jill's worse because she knows her husband is in a desperate situation

02:03:00.700 here.

02:03:01.020 His he's got cognitive decline.

02:03:03.020 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

02:03:03.860 She pushed him into it anyway.

02:03:06.900 So that's different.

02:03:07.860 Yeah.

02:03:08.040 I would put her in the category of the worst human being to occupy the office of the first 1.00

02:03:14.980 lady.

02:03:15.640 Yes.

02:03:16.160 In my lifetime.

02:03:18.020 Yes.

02:03:18.260 But that doesn't make her the worst first lady.

02:03:21.020 The other thing.

02:03:22.000 I mean, every time you see her publicly like the breakfast taco thing like this from a couple

02:03:27.580 weeks before it when she was trying to pander to Hispanics.

02:03:30.980 So say it with me.

02:03:33.120 See, say.

02:03:33.920 Cise Pwodway.

02:03:34.920 The future is ours.

02:03:37.180 Thank you.

02:03:38.420 Okay.

02:03:39.220 You don't know Cise Pwodway?

02:03:40.500 Cise Pwodway?

02:03:41.840 Cise Pwodway.

02:03:42.920 Cise Pwodway.

02:03:45.020 Come on.

02:03:46.020 Elmer Fudd.

02:03:47.380 She was just channeling her best Elmer Fudd.

02:03:49.460 Cise Pwodway.

02:03:51.740 I'm going to get that Cise Pwodway if it's a Wast thing I do.

02:03:58.700 Horrible.

02:03:59.100 The Wast thing you do?

02:04:00.520 The Wast thing I do.

02:04:02.680 I'm going to Broadway at St. Cise Pwodway.

02:04:07.920 I had a mistake.

02:04:09.360 I ended up in Broadway.

02:04:11.400 Think about it.

02:04:12.040 She's the worst. 0.99

02:04:12.800 She might even be worse than Hillary Clinton. 1.00

02:04:15.480 It's close.

02:04:16.880 But I think she just nips her for worst of all time. 0.79

02:04:21.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
