00:01:17.540 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:31.320 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:36.720 And hello, America. Oh, finally, we are one step closer to all being able to join a labor union,
00:01:45.140 or better yet, just pay a labor union, even though we don't want to pay the labor union or be a part
00:01:52.840 of a labor union. Yes, all of your dreams are coming true. What is your line in the sand? We begin
00:02:00.720 in 60 seconds.
00:02:05.560 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:08.180 I want to talk to you a little bit about American financing. I hate to go all chicken little on you
00:02:12.940 about the United States economy, but, uh, sometimes the sky really is falling. The whole weird past
00:02:20.620 year has seen a dramatic decrease in mortgage rates throughout the housing industry. And during that
00:02:26.760 time, I've advised you to check out American financing and see if they can save you a bundle
00:02:31.340 of money every month by refinancing your or your own mortgage. And while you're at it, uh, bundling in
00:02:37.720 all of those other debts that you have into that mortgage without resetting your loan. Now, now is
00:02:45.340 the time that, uh, things are starting to dwindle down a bit. Mortgage rates are still incredibly low.
00:02:53.020 Stu has one in the twos now.
00:02:55.580 Yep. And I'm disappointed. I don't have a one in the ones.
00:02:59.260 Now I want them to pay me.
00:03:01.240 Yeah. I would like to get a negative interest rate myself. Uh, they're beginning to trickle back
00:03:05.680 up. And once again, the ship has sailed. And when it has sailed, my friend, you're about to see a
00:03:10.820 lot of, a lot of carnage in the economy. Now, here's what I want you to do right now or sometime
00:03:16.820 today. Call American financing at 800-906-2440 American financing, 800-906-2440 or American financing.net
00:03:26.880 American financing. NMLS 1-82334 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org
00:03:33.180 So today is the day that here in Texas, uh, they've lifted all of the COVID restrictions.
00:03:41.320 We're back to the way we were a year ago, a year ago. Uh, we've opened the doors of the
00:03:48.340 Mercury studios. It's a little like a Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory, except no one in a crowd
00:03:54.640 outside waiting to get in. I'm surprised. Everyone hasn't rushed back in. Right. It's
00:04:00.360 like, well, what? Yeah. Everyone complains about it. I can't go out. I can't go out. I think this is
00:04:04.960 going to be the exception. People are going to be like, I kind of like working at home. Yeah. I kind
00:04:09.140 of like working at home. So I think that's the way this is going to, going to happen. But I mean,
00:04:13.860 Maryland just announced they're going to reopen everything here coming up on, I think on Friday.
00:04:18.180 Uh, Connecticut has announced it. Mississippi. Oh my gosh. Why are they trying to kill people?
00:04:23.140 I know. They're just irresponsible. New York times has a list of mostly open mixed and mostly closed
00:04:29.360 businesses. And now there are currently no more States in mostly closed. There are only one,
00:04:35.020 two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, I think nine, eight, eight States that are still
00:04:41.040 in mixed and everything else is quote unquote. And what's crazy is this has gone against what the
00:04:47.540 progressives have wanted. I mean, people are starting to open things back up and every time
00:04:53.000 at least when a red state does it, uh, you're condemned. Yeah. There's this dumb thing that
00:04:58.360 happens. And when a red state does it, they're condemned. I mean, Texas got just slaughtered
00:05:03.400 in the media because they're opening up to a 100%. Right. No one seemed to notice. In fact,
00:05:07.900 a lot of people that I know, cause I grew up in Connecticut were very critical of Texas for
00:05:13.000 their reopening. Didn't seem to notice the next day when Connecticut announced basically the
00:05:17.840 same thing. So let me switch subjects here because I think this is really exciting. The
00:05:22.440 house has passed protecting the right to organize act. Ooh, this has got to be good. I could,
00:05:27.540 it's protecting something. It's a right. Well, we have a right to organize and petition our
00:05:31.620 government. You know what I mean? So do we need an act for it? Because I think it's in the
00:05:34.980 constitution already. I think we can, I think we can organize. We have a right to organize.
00:05:39.800 We have a right to come together and Oh no, wait, but wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. No,
00:05:45.780 that's to say things against the government. We don't have that right. Right. They were taking
00:05:50.320 that right away. You can't get together. You can't get together. You can't congregate. You
00:05:55.160 can't. I mean, that's really dangerous stuff. You're a radical if you want that. However,
00:05:59.540 if you want to have a union, you're, you're set. If you don't want to have a union, it kind of sucks
00:06:11.280 for you. The house passed the protecting the right to organize the pro act, a bill that would
00:06:18.560 substantially amend existing us labor law in a 225 to 206 vote Tuesday evening. Five Republicans voted
00:06:27.580 with the Democrats in favor. One Democrat voted with Republicans against it. It is a wish list for
00:06:35.920 union leaders. If you didn't know who controlled the union before, I mean, who controlled the
00:06:40.940 democratic party, you certainly do now. It is, uh, it's amazing. Um, the ranking member of the house
00:06:52.720 education and labor community, uh, uh, committee added that unions have pushed the bill to stop
00:06:59.200 declining union membership, which has taken place over the last 60 years. It forces unionization of
00:07:07.040 workers who don't necessarily want to join a union or pay union dues. Republicans proposed a series of
00:07:13.480 amendments to the pro act, which were rejected by the Democrats. One rejected amendment proposed,
00:07:19.160 uh, would have required unions with a president or vice president who has been convicted of a felony
00:07:26.640 within the last three years to file more detailed financial disclosures with the department of labor.
00:07:35.140 So that one was going too far. You don't, you don't want to have to actually ask somebody who's been
00:07:41.800 convicted of a felony in the last three years, right? Four years ago, you could have murdered an
00:07:49.560 entire group of school children with bowling balls, but three, as long as it's not within the last
00:07:55.400 three years, that's exactly right. And, and, and listen, that didn't pass. Thank goodness. So you
00:08:00.720 could have murdered a bunch of school children with bowling balls yesterday and, uh, you don't have to
00:08:06.040 answer any questions. Yeah. The pro act is a, uh, a compilation of various policy changes changes
00:08:12.920 that the labor unions support, which would make it easier for unions to organize private sector
00:08:18.520 employees. The bill would remove workers ability to vote against unionization. Listen to this via secret
00:08:26.640 ballot elections. So when they're voting, should we have a union or not? You have to do, you have to
00:08:33.360 stand up and go, uh, I'm against the union thugs. It's going to work out well for you. I mean,
00:08:40.200 that's crazy. That is crazy. It's a secret ballot is one of the main cornerstones of America.
00:08:48.260 I'd like a horse head in my bed. Uh, thank you. I'd like to just give the address of my children's
00:08:54.120 school right now. Um, it gives the national labor relations board, not the workers, a final say in
00:09:02.680 the decision to unionize a workforce. The pro act would also nullify the right to work laws that
00:09:09.180 exist in 27 States. So we have a right to work law. Uh, not anymore. I mean, that's really bad.
00:09:20.240 You, you see over and over again that the right to work States outperform every time unionizing
00:09:25.100 States every time over and over again. I mean, I have just a, uh, I mean, a quick story. Uh, in fact,
00:09:30.880 two, the first time I met Don Imus, uh, I was 18 years old and I was up at WNBC in New York and I
00:09:38.700 had come from WNBC. Where was I at the time? I think it was in Washington WPGC and it was not a
00:09:46.120 union radio station. And I go to WNBC where my friend was working and he, it was still a music
00:09:54.660 station at the time. And they had him in one booth just to say 66 WNBC. This is, you know, whoever
00:10:05.640 that's what he did. They had a member of the musicians union. It was the only person that
00:10:13.340 could touch the records at the time. They were still playing records. The only one that could
00:10:17.840 touch the record was a member of the musicians union and he would touch the record and grab
00:10:26.020 it. And then he would put it on the turntable. Then a second person, which was a, uh, uh, member
00:10:34.440 of the, what was it? Technicians union. He could actually put the needle on the record and cue
00:10:44.080 it up. Then you'd have your board op, start the record. And the jock was in a different
00:10:51.100 room. In a different room. And all he would do is talk. Okay. So you had in a job that I
00:10:55.700 was doing myself, you had to have four people do. And they didn't, they couldn't even turn
00:11:00.600 their microphones on. No, they couldn't. That had to be the board op to do that. Yes. I mean,
00:11:04.260 that is incredible. Incredible. Incredible. What happens to like when the technician is putting
00:11:09.860 the needle on the record and he mistakenly touches the record, does he spontaneously combust? How
00:11:14.440 does that work? I don't, I don't really know, but they were very, very serious about it because
00:11:18.840 I was mocking it. And he was like, don't mock it. Don't mock it. Don't mock it. I'll be dead
00:11:23.480 by tomorrow. Cause it's protecting jobs that didn't need to exist. So it started, the radio
00:11:29.180 union started because they started replacing orchestras. You know, they would have singers come
00:11:36.440 in and bands come in and everything else. So all of those musicians lost their jobs soon as
00:11:41.820 the record came in. And so the union said, you can't play records. What are you talking about?
00:11:47.840 Of course, we're going to play records. It's cheaper. It's better. It's consistent. No,
00:11:52.800 it can't do that. Look at all the musicians that are going to be put out of work. Well, yeah,
00:11:56.540 it's called progress. Okay. Well then if you're going to do that, we're going to organize,
00:12:01.720 they organized and said musicians union members had to be the one that moved the record. Okay. So
00:12:09.700 former musicians were like, yeah, I used to play the horn. Now I'm just doing this.
00:12:14.800 Unbelievable. Okay. The second story, we were in New York and we were building a studio and it took us
00:12:22.880 how long to build the studio? We had 20,000, 16,000 square feet total. And about
00:12:30.540 8,000 of it was studio space. We built one, two, three studios, but the walls were already up. Okay.
00:12:40.140 It was already a radio station. All we had to do was just put some sheet rock up, change the look of
00:12:48.020 everything, you know, do some painting and wallpaper or some lights, drop the consoles into things that
00:12:53.440 were already there. Uh, and it took us about a year and it was the biggest pain in the butt
00:13:01.160 ever. And everything was waiting for the unions. Sorry. Can't touch that. No, I just, I was wondering
00:13:07.620 if you could just, I mean, could you just plug that in? Cause we're ready to go. If you, um, sorry,
00:13:13.160 different union, I'll plug it in. Nope. Nope. Can't do that. Can't do it. And if it is plugged in,
00:13:17.580 you're fined. Okay. We came down to Texas, a right to work state. We took an 80,000 square foot studio
00:13:27.760 and we built the sets. We, uh, hung the lights and we made it into a digital broadcast studio. It was a
00:13:37.460 film studio. We built a digital broadcast center and we did the first draft in a week, in a week,
00:13:48.400 we had nothing. And in a week we had a studio. That's the difference between unions and a right
00:13:58.060 to work state. Now here's the really bad part. You don't get to choose anymore, whether you like to
00:14:04.520 join a union or not. All of this is based on that horrible, horrible, uh, labor law in California
00:14:11.380 for the, um, the, uh, what do you call it? The, I can think only think of bit economy, but it's not,
00:14:18.740 it's the, uh, gig economy, uh, the gig economy. Remember California took it apart and they passed
00:14:26.820 a law that said, no, no, no, you can't, you have to have a 40 hour work week. You can't do a bit
00:14:31.120 economy because it's, it's just too bad for people. It's just horrible. Well, no, in fact,
00:14:37.540 it was so disliked by the public that California had a referendum and they voted against it. So
00:14:44.860 they put it in and then the people rose up and said, no, you're not saying no to a gig economy.
00:14:53.660 And the stats on a gig economy are astounding. And that's what they're going after. They're not
00:15:00.580 only going after all the mom and pop businesses. They're not only going after our economy. They're
00:15:05.620 not only trying to help the unions because they've had a 60 year decline because everybody knows how
00:15:11.200 much they suck. I mean, I wouldn't, I mean, look, I'm not saying that the mob exists. If it did,
00:15:23.420 it would be great, but I'm sure it doesn't. That's that thing for the movies, right? The mob,
00:15:28.160 the mob, that's not a real, I'm sure that that's not, if it did exist, we'd be for it.
00:15:32.540 Yes, we would absolutely be for it. We'd love it. And we think they are great guys doing a good
00:15:37.000 job for America. I love them, but they don't exist. They don't exist at all. So anyway,
00:15:42.580 we'll tell you about the stats and what this is really going to affect. It's going to reach in
00:15:47.680 to you in just a minute, literally 60 seconds.
00:15:54.560 Our, uh, our sponsor is Patriot mobile. It used to be the case that, you know, when you went with
00:15:59.960 one of the major mobile carriers, uh, you would go and you would get great service. And that was it
00:16:05.800 because you didn't want to get stuck with some mom and pop cell company that worked as well as,
00:16:10.860 you know, the tin cans with a string. It's not like that anymore. The, those smaller companies,
00:16:16.780 they are on the same cell towers as the big carriers, which means their service is just as
00:16:21.900 good. Their customer service is usually better and they have customizable plans that can save you a
00:16:28.560 buttload of money. I mean, a lot of money. Here's the clencher right now. If you switch to Patriot
00:16:35.660 mobile, you're not going to be donating money from your bill to leftist causes. A lot of the time,
00:16:42.160 big mobile companies like Verizon are supporting things like planned parenthood.
00:16:46.780 So if you have Verizon, you're paying for, you know, the promotion of abortions,
00:16:53.740 you can avoid all that and get great service and great coverage with Patriot mobile this month,
00:17:00.400 get free premier active, uh, activation where they'll set up the phone for you. You can keep
00:17:05.580 your phone or get a new one, keep your number, a special gift with the offer. Code Beck is also
00:17:10.680 included. Same service, lower price, and the values you believe in. Go to Patriot mobile.com
00:17:16.200 slash back. That's Patriot mobile.com slash back or call 972 Patriot 10 seconds. Station ID.
00:17:23.860 So we're going to talk to Mike Lee about this later. Um, but this, the pro act, if it passes in the
00:17:43.940 Senate will cost employers up to $45 billion in, uh, added labor costs, it will not only do that,
00:17:54.820 uh, but it will, uh, threaten the private ballot. As we said, you have to vote and raise your hand.
00:18:01.700 I vote against the union. It imposes California's disastrous independent contractor test. It
00:18:08.480 jeopardizes employers right to free speech. It threatens the loss of a job. Should workers
00:18:14.240 choose not to pay union dues? You have to do it. Now here's the, here's the problem. Uh, 80% of the
00:18:23.440 people who are working in the gig economy choose to work in the gig economy. They want to work that way.
00:18:30.420 They want to be an independent contractor. 40% of those who do work in the gig economy
00:18:39.380 make a hundred thousand dollars a year. Excuse me. What? 40% that's that can't be true. Seems completely
00:18:54.060 impossible. Seems impossible. But you got to remember, you're talking about people sometimes
00:18:59.420 with very high skills, plumbers. Sure. You know, that's a gig. You're not, you're not under.
00:19:06.200 So I wonder too, not necessarily making a hundred thousand dollars from the gig economy. Like I know
00:19:12.940 there's a lot of people who, you know, we take Ubers and things all the time and a lot of people like
00:19:18.720 work other jobs and just do this for a little extra cash or they may have a full-time job where
00:19:23.900 they're making lots of like sales calls or whatever. And they just kind of throw this in
00:19:28.040 in between and you can make some, I mean, you could definitely make some solid money.
00:19:31.720 Well, I know 80% don't do it because 80% do it because they want to. That's the way they want to
00:19:40.200 work. 80% want to work the gig economy. What do they know about what they want? I know. You know,
00:19:46.800 if we only had a large government who could tell us what we are supposed to believe about our own
00:19:52.580 lives. Good news, Stu. This one's coming from Colorado. A bill titled Digital Communications
00:19:59.920 Regulation is now seeking in Colorado the creation of a digital communications division
00:20:08.380 under the Department of Regulatory Agencies to regulate online content available in the state.
00:20:16.360 And the division is going to be run by a new committee and they're going to serve as the
00:20:22.840 arbiters of truth. Under the legislation proposed now by Democratic State Senator Kerry Donovan,
00:20:30.640 the new commission will be tasked with the authority to investigate, hold hearings on claims
00:20:36.540 filed with the division that accuse particular platforms of engaging in what the government declares
00:20:43.580 unlawful conduct. Such conduct under the proposed under the proposal ranges from promoting hate
00:20:51.780 speech to disinformation, fake news and conspiracy theories or content. The commission determines
00:21:01.060 is meant to undermine election integrity. What could possibly go wrong with this?
00:21:08.320 this is Colorado. Uh, Colorado, you better wake up. You better wake up. Can you imagine a committee
00:21:20.120 that is going to sit there and judge what the truth is? I thought we already had a truth czar. Do we need a,
00:21:28.480 a truth committee? Well, we do in Colorado. Okay. Yeah. I mean, you're busy skiing and stuff.
00:21:33.940 So I'm not sure what they're going for you. You know, the guy from Arizona, uh, that, you know,
00:21:41.740 painted his face and had the horns and he was in the January 6th. The, uh, the QAnon shaman. Yeah.
00:21:48.440 Okay. A weirdo. I think we'd all agree. You might even agree to that. I don't know. A weirdo. Okay. Um,
00:21:55.340 but he's not being let out of jail now because the judge says that he's still beholden to president
00:22:03.300 Trump. Is that a crime? I, well, apparently it is. Okay. He is, uh, even though he said he's come
00:22:12.340 to terms with the, uh, with the election results, uh, the judge said that to release him is a risk to
00:22:21.540 commit other crimes because he blatantly lied in his interview, contending the police officers
00:22:27.260 welcoming into the cat, uh, into the, uh, Capitol and he's still beholden to president Trump.
00:22:34.860 Oh, okay. Wait, what? This is the Glenn Beck program. Wouldn't that make you a political prisoner?
00:22:43.160 All right. Now let me take a minute, um, to ask you just to think about your favorite memories,
00:22:48.000 all the home movies that you have from way back when all those pictures, all those videotapes on
00:22:53.640 the weird formats. I found a format cause I'm doing a legacy box. I found a format. I don't even know
00:22:59.460 what it is. I really, yeah, I I'm looking at some of these come and go over. Yeah. And I'm like,
00:23:04.980 I don't even know what machine that was for. Um, but anyway, it seems to be liquid. What did I use

00:24:02.980 Over the past few days, I've come to better understand the pain caused by the book I endorsed
00:24:19.200 by Andy. No, I've offended not only a lot of people that I don't know, but also the closest
00:24:26.300 to me, including my bandmates. And for that, I'm truly sorry, says the banjo member, the banjo player
00:24:32.660 of Mumford and Sons. As a result of my actions, I'm taking time away from the, I'm taking time away
00:24:38.960 from the band to examine my blind spots. I do that all the time. His actions. And again, you, I think
00:24:44.920 you said his actions, which was, he said something positive about the Andy notebook. He read the Andy
00:24:49.800 notebook and then he said, this is worth a read. And, uh, that hurt a lot of people, hurt a lot of
00:24:56.120 people. How would someone else reading a book hurt people? Well, because, because a lot of people
00:25:01.800 are influenced by the banjo player in Mumford and Sons. Are they? Oh yeah. Yeah. The banjo
00:25:08.080 player. Are you kidding me? What's his face? Don't they have like 14 banjo players? That's how
00:25:12.300 I'm not. But this is the, this is the, I might be the main guy. It might, it might be. Yeah.
00:25:19.160 He's a guy most Americans love. Don't necessarily know his name nor follow him.
00:25:25.340 Uh, or are going to the show because they're like that banjo is the best banjo. You know
00:25:32.600 what I mean? Uh, but they, but they do follow him for his, uh, tips on what books to read.
00:25:39.940 Okay. So he, so, and I went, I'd like to know who do you think knows more about Andy
00:25:47.700 know and who he is and what he's done? The person who's criticizing this guy or the guy
00:25:53.160 who actually read the whole book. Oh no. Um, most of the people who came after the banjo
00:25:57.660 player, uh, is, uh, is they've never read the book. I can guarantee you 90% of them don't
00:26:04.160 even know how to pronounce go. It's true. Uh, none of them have no idea. They no idea who
00:26:12.420 he is. This guy's done the work. He's actually read the book. He's realized, you know, what
00:26:16.940 Andy know does. And he's truly sorry for that. And we've had Andy know on the show
00:26:20.380 many times. Uh, is there anything at all of legitimate, like a validity of, of a valid
00:26:30.660 criticism of him that he should be some, this toxic character. I mean, everything I've seen
00:26:36.980 of Andy know is he, he's had brain damage because he's been attacked by Antifa members. He's, he's,
00:26:45.120 uh, shot. He, he put the light on how many crimes being committed. Um, he has been critical of a
00:26:52.340 group that is defacing property and committing crimes all over the country. He's a gay son of
00:27:00.260 immigrants, Asian immigrants, right? Which right now, all the rage is to make sure that we say
00:27:06.760 that violence against Asians is bad, except for Andy. No, that violence seems to be okay.
00:27:11.460 It's totally fine. You can beat the crap out of Andy. No, whatever you want. I thought he was Andy.
00:27:15.180 No, I, that's only the only reason why I beat him to death in the alley is I swear to you. I thought
00:27:19.800 he was Andy. No go. Oh, case closed. You're free. You're free to go, sir. So like, but is there,
00:27:25.860 is there anything that he's ever done that is legitimately, that there's a legitimate criticism
00:27:32.420 of, I mean, you can say you think he's, uh, outsizing the impact of Antifa, right? Like
00:27:38.380 I've heard that criticism of him before, but that's just an opinion. You can say, you know, I, I tend to
00:27:43.120 think it's a pretty serious issue. So does Andy, but some people don't think it's that serious. Ah,
00:27:47.240 it's just a Portland thing. Ah, it's just happened in C in Seattle. Ah, it just happened in all of our
00:27:51.700 40 great biggest cities. People just throw the, you know, those things out, but there's,
00:27:56.160 I mean, as I, sometimes these characters have a one-off comment where you're like, oh my gosh,
00:28:01.360 like that, they shouldn't have said that, but their overall work is still okay. I is, I'm not aware
00:28:05.700 of that even with Andy. No, is there anything this guy has done that is wrong? Not that I know.
00:28:12.960 I know they accuse him of making stuff up. They do. They accuse everybody, everybody of that.
00:28:19.640 Well, anyway, could I finish this, please? This heartfelt, for now, please know that I
00:28:25.060 realize how my endorsements have the potential to be viewed as approval of hateful, divisive
00:28:31.900 behavior. Well, I mean, look, an endorsement is an approval of, of the book. Yeah, but a potential
00:28:40.760 to be viewed as approval of hateful, divisive behavior. No, that's admitting then that Andy
00:28:48.120 know is being divisive and has hateful behavior, not Antifa, which is hard to square that circle,
00:28:57.780 but I apologize. This was not at all my intention. No, his intention was I read a good book. I know
00:29:04.840 nobody cares about my endorsement. Nobody's ever asked me for an endorsement, but I read a good
00:29:10.120 book. You should try it out. I mean, less than one out of this, of course, is never tweet,
00:29:13.700 never give your opinion on anything. Stay the hell out of the way. No, I think the opposite
00:29:18.200 needs to happen because I want to know what your line is. But this is nothing. This is not like
00:29:22.400 the Mumford and Sons guy is not you, right? Like you. I'm going to tweet. I am going to tweet today
00:29:29.560 my endorsement of his endorsement for Andy. No, you're going to make it worse. I'm going to make
00:29:35.400 it worse. But like I, you know, we get paid to come in here and give our opinions on such things.
00:29:39.660 And obviously that's why I do it. But like, if I was in Mumford and Sons, like why would
00:29:44.560 I be giving book recommendations? Why would I bother? Why bother with the hassle? And I
00:29:48.340 swear this is what this is, right? Oh yeah. Stay out of it. This is not him saying Andy
00:29:52.640 is a hateful character. No, this is him saying, holy crap. I'm in a firestorm. My, my, you know,
00:29:59.240 I don't know if you're a banjo player, my tens of thousands of dollars of job is on the line.
00:30:03.320 There's not a lot of gigs for banjos these days. I can't lose this one.
00:30:07.960 It's like it's Mumford and Sons or I'm under a bridge. I'm going to be playing at an old
00:30:12.400 timey ice cream parlor soon. I, I, there's, I could either be in Mumford and Sons or I'm
00:30:17.920 in a Chuck E. Cheese band. Those are the two options I have. And they've already automated
00:30:22.440 those. I can't. So I get it. Like, I understand, especially like if you're not an ideologue,
00:30:29.740 right? If you're, if you're just a person who's like, ah, this is a cool book. And then all
00:30:33.420 sudden it blows your life up. I can understand why you'd react like this, but it's insane.
00:30:38.300 It is legitimately. When is somebody just going to say it's insane? That's what I would like him
00:30:44.560 to do. You're insane. Yeah. Get out, get out of my face. I'm a banjo player in Mumford and Sons.
00:30:49.540 You don't want to read the dumb books I recommend. Don't read them. Don't read them.
00:30:52.160 It's insane. It's insane. This is book burning. This is just shaming people. If you say you like
00:31:01.400 a book, if you say you, you, you, uh, you think that people should read things. I mean, that used
00:31:09.500 to be the badge of honor and intellectual curiosity in America, you know, read things, read things.
00:31:17.300 You disagree. I can't tell you how many books I have read that I disagree with and I read them
00:31:22.400 intentionally. You have to know the other side. You have to know what somebody, especially in
00:31:28.860 really important things where it's going to change everybody's life. I want to hear what
00:31:35.020 the argument is for and against, and I'll decide not in America anymore, especially, especially
00:31:44.220 if you are putting hateful jimmies on your ice cream, like sprinkles, jimmies. Yeah. You grew up
00:31:52.520 in New England. Did you call them jimmies? No, I called them sprinkles, like a real human being.
00:31:56.700 Okay. So all, all human beings call them. They're sprinkles is what they are. Is there something
00:32:02.240 called shots too? That would be in the same guy. This is, I don't know. That sounds controversial
00:32:06.480 as well. Um, uh, just jimmies, just jimmies. It's the name of an ice cream and it has been
00:32:12.720 changed now to just sprinkles. Now this is, uh, Brigham's ice cream in New England and New
00:32:21.360 England, uh, calls sprinkles jimmies and they have forever. I've heard the term. Definitely.
00:32:28.740 Yeah, I have too. And I've, I've, you're up in New England and you're like, what? Those
00:32:33.320 are sprinkles. No, they're jimmies. No, I'm not eating anything named jimmies. So, uh, the
00:32:38.960 history of the term jimmies, not clear. Several companies have claimed to invented it, but some
00:32:48.460 people now say, now listen to this. It is a derogatory term related to Jim Crow, the racist
00:32:56.540 character caricature that came to stand for discriminatory laws and segregation put into
00:33:01.980 place following the civil war. Now this is what New England calls sprinkles. New England
00:33:08.140 got rid of slavery. If New England were a country, it would have been the first country in the
00:33:14.860 world to abolish slavery. Black people were elected to office in the 1700s. Black people
00:33:24.720 had a right to vote. Women had a right to vote. This is New England. Don't think of New England
00:33:30.600 today. Think of New England as a place that gets it. They got it. And it would be a, according
00:33:38.700 to this article, a derogatory term related to Jim Crow. So if you're calling them jimmies
00:33:44.740 and you're eating them and they're all different colors, I would think that is making fun and
00:33:53.040 it's from New England. It's making fun of Jim Crow. And even this seems like a ranch, right?
00:33:57.980 It just seems like probably a guy named Jim. Snopes said that's unproven. So now this, uh,
00:34:04.400 parent company for, uh, Brigham's is saying that they are going to, uh, get rid of the word
00:34:10.340 Jimmy and not because anybody is pressuring them. They said that it was just to ensure
00:34:15.980 that the brand reflects our values and meets our customers expectations. I don't care what
00:34:21.800 you call it. I don't care if you call your chocolate ice cream with big chunks in it,
00:34:27.500 dog crap. If it tastes like dog crap, I'm not going to eat it. I don't think it's the best
00:34:32.480 marketing strategy for you, but you could call it that. And if it's really yummy, what are
00:34:39.000 you doing? I'm having a big old bowl of dog crap. In fact, I want to start an ice cream
00:34:44.100 company that will do that just to show you that names mean nothing. And in this is in
00:34:51.460 this society, I think actually it's better than nothing. I think calling a bowl of ice
00:34:56.680 cream dog crap just to make the point would sell like crazy. Yeah. I mean, there's been
00:35:03.440 companies that have done things like that. They named their products really gross names so
00:35:08.160 that, you know, mainly kids think it's funny and they I'm eating a bowl of dog crap. You could
00:35:14.220 see you could see it catching. Yeah, I could. I could. Now the word normal. Tell me which one of
00:35:19.960 these is true and I'll give you the answer after the break. The word normal is now being taken off
00:35:25.840 of products because it's offensive. Or Disney pulls iconic movies, Dumbo, the aristocrats and Peter Pan
00:35:37.540 from their from their place on Disney plus because of racist stereotypes. Which one of those are true?
00:35:46.580 I'll give you the answer here in just a second.
00:35:52.840 Do you know which one's true? I know one of them is true. I don't know the other one, though.
00:35:59.160 One of them is true. At least I will say that your money, your identity, your credibility could be
00:36:04.560 lost of good news and bad news. Bad news is there's a whole army of cyber criminals out there who make
00:36:09.580 it their mission every day to try to take those things from you by any means necessary.
00:36:13.260 They're good at it. This time of year, they're into tax scams. It's so great. I love that. The
00:36:20.300 government first steals a ton of my money and then cyber criminals work to steal that, you know, that
00:36:25.180 little bit that they're giving back. Oh, that's great. Here's the good news. LifeLock is here and
00:36:29.800 they'll help you protect yourself against the stuff from the cyber menace. Now, important to understand

00:37:27.460 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:37:29.620 Hello, Americans. It's Wednesday. We've got a great show for you tonight. If you want to take on the
00:37:47.880 cancel culture, you want to do something that actually matters tonight. We're going to lay out
00:37:52.460 some things that you can actually do and ways that you can save your family and save your
00:37:59.900 your country tonight. You don't want to miss it at nine o'clock only on Blaze TV. Blaze TV dot com.
00:38:08.860 Make sure you you watch tonight. OK, so which one of these stories is true? Disney pulls the iconic
00:38:16.520 movies or the word normal is removed from products. I believe the true one is normal being removed
00:38:26.840 from products. I believe it's Unilever. Yeah. Hand cream. Yeah. Yeah. Like normal skin, dry hair,
00:38:32.920 normal hair. They're taking normal off. So they're taking normal off of all of their products in
00:38:37.800 packaging. They say that's that's not going to fix the problem alone, but it is an important step forward.
00:38:44.760 Now, I don't know what problem we're trying to fix here, that some things are normal.
00:38:52.520 Some things are average, something. What are we trying to fix? We're trying to get rid of the
00:38:56.140 concept of normality. Yeah, I think that's what it is. I think that's what it is. So now they're
00:39:01.600 going to they say the problem. Now, think about this. This is dove. So where do they have normal
00:39:10.040 anywhere? I mean, how are you? This is for normal people. Yeah, I mean, no, of course not. So where
00:39:17.620 are they doing? It's on the tiny print that says for normal to dry skin conditions. OK, OK. So they're
00:39:27.860 going to replace it on their shampoo from normal to dry hair. They're now going to say for dry and
00:39:38.200 damaged hair. Well, then do I get that if I have not dry and damaged hair? Wait, so people would
00:39:45.600 rather be called damaged than normal? Well, just the hair. I know. Well, if it's then why are you
00:39:52.400 changing it if it's just the hair? So normal because it's normal. You're normal. Or if you
00:39:57.980 have damaged hair so you can be insane and have damaged hair and you could still use that. So
00:40:04.180 that's good to hear. But like if what if you just have hair that isn't dry or damaged?
00:40:09.640 Right. What do you do? I don't know because they won't say what's normal. Let me guess.
00:40:13.580 Use another brand. That's probably what the answer is. Yeah, I think stay, you know, stay
00:40:17.440 away from Unilever. So now, again, this was not due to a cancel culture thing. They just
00:40:22.640 did it on their own because they did a they did a focus group in nine different countries
00:40:27.680 and they I'm guessing they, you know, added phrases like does normal. Do you think the
00:40:33.200 word normal could hurt people's feelings? Do you think because I can't imagine anybody
00:40:39.160 seeing a line for normal to damaged hair and going, oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. That hurts.
00:40:45.620 That hurts. And everybody in the room, you know, spontaneously going. I was thinking the
00:40:49.420 same thing. That would take a focus group leader looking, you know, how does the word
00:40:55.500 normal feel to you? I don't know. Normal. You didn't make the the focus group. No,
00:41:04.780 you were kicked out of the focus before it began. By the way, Disney has not pulled these
00:41:08.520 films yet, but they have pulled them from the kids section. Let's talk about American
00:41:21.020 Financing, our sponsor for the blaze this half hour or this hour. They're making it possible for
00:41:26.300 blaze viewers and and Stu. Talk to me a little bit about your experience. They're making it
00:41:31.340 possible for me to not have to pay too much for my mortgage, which is something I very much
00:41:35.460 appreciate. American Financing. I started working with them. It was after you had started. I didn't
00:41:41.240 even know that they existed. And I started talking to them when I needed to work on a mortgage and I
00:41:45.620 wanted to kind of come up with very some would say a loan sharky scheme. Some people said that's
00:41:52.940 what you were looking for. And I went to them and I said, OK, can you do this? And they said,
00:41:57.380 that's not a sane thing to do. But they gave me what you know, they went through the whole thing
00:42:02.820 and they said I told them what my other offers were. And they said, you know what? I think honestly,
00:42:08.260 if for what you're looking for, that one might be the best one. This other company.
00:42:11.320 We prefer not to go to jail. Right. But, you know, if you want to do that. So I did take that
00:42:16.020 other loan and went back to them for another real estate transaction. And this one was a
00:42:21.880 different situation. They had the best offer by far and got a loan through American Financing.
00:42:27.820 The point is that they're not they're not high pressure. They just do a really good job
00:42:31.560 explaining everything to you. It's 800-906-2440 or AmericanFinancing.net.
00:42:36.760 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:42:48.100 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:42:57.780 Hello, America. Welcome to the program. We want to talk to you about schools. Everybody is saying,
00:43:04.520 oh, we got to get our schools back open. We got to get our kids in schools. It's crazy. It's like
00:43:10.820 saying, we got to, I'm Uyghur. We got to get those concentration camps open up again because they
00:43:17.540 were great. You know, why is my, why are my kids going into the concentration camp? Are they not
00:43:23.780 Uyghurs too? What are we doing? What are, what kind of curriculum is coming your way for your kids?
00:43:32.020 And you're paying for it. Will you stand up to stop it? All this and more in 60 seconds.
00:43:43.240 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:43:45.620 Slowly but surely, at least in some states, it's starting to be okay again to, uh, you know,
00:43:51.140 go out to businesses. It's coming at the perfect time. Weather warming up, you still feel a little
00:43:57.020 more like getting out anyway. And, uh, you'd like to go to places more than Home Depot and
00:44:01.740 Sherwin-Williams. Remember, it was a year ago that we were all going, it was okay to go into
00:44:06.320 Home Depot. They were crowded. I mean, what, what, I don't, all the fumes kill the coronavirus.
00:44:12.700 Yeah, I know. I, I, I remember thinking at the time, I think Sherwin-Williams,
00:44:17.340 all of the landscaping companies, all of the home improvement stores, they're all in on this.
00:44:22.380 This is, that's who created coronavirus. Well, you can go out now, at least in Texas,
00:44:26.900 today is the day and more coming this week. If you've never looked at a hustler mower and you're
00:44:33.300 thinking about getting a new lawnmower, uh, you really need to go out and find a hustler dealer.
00:44:39.440 These are the people that invented the zero turn mowers. Take it out for a test bin. Try the other
00:44:45.340 ones too. You might actually find that the prospect of mowing your yard just got a little more
00:44:50.360 interesting. They are fast, incredibly maneuverable, and they're going to cut, uh, the time that you
00:44:55.980 spend mowing your yard in about half. Again, they invented the zero turn. They've been, they've been
00:45:01.980 building these things forever. They started in like 1960. So I think they are the ones who developed
00:45:09.740 it. They're the ones who have been keeping all of our medians of our highways and our football

00:45:30.900 The Federalist reported last week that Naperville 203 Community School District,
00:45:38.160 the staff and faculty attended a countywide Equity Institute training on February 26th.
00:45:45.340 A whistleblower sent quotes from the Keystone speaker, Dina Simmons, and nine other anti-racist
00:45:52.660 coaches to the Federalist, and they published it as well as evidence such as PowerPoints from the
00:45:58.560 training insisting that America is institutionally racist. Other teachers also provided statements.
00:46:05.800 One PowerPoint slide in the Valbram Consulting Group presentation said the term,
00:46:10.820 Make America Great Again is covert racism comparable to the N-word, hate crimes, lynching, and the Klan.
00:46:22.780 Now that might be a little hyperbole, but according to the slide, if you're part of half of the country that voted for
00:46:35.660 President Donald Trump, you're a racist and a white supremacist. So some people have spoken out about this,
00:46:42.140 and I'm going to give you this story a little later. They spoke out about it. Teachers started speaking out
00:46:46.240 about it, and they are being hammered. And this school district is doubling down on this. Now, this goes
00:46:55.540 along with another story. If you liked Common Core, you're going to love the anti-American civics project
00:47:04.020 because the left has decided, you know what, we're not teaching civics. And I think everybody agrees with
00:47:10.240 that. We're not teaching history. We're not teaching civics. We're not a democracy. We're a republic.
00:47:18.300 Well, this one is bipartisan, and it's a state-led coalition. And they've got a vision for us. It's a
00:47:26.600 roadmap. 300 leading scholars, bipartisan, got together for 17 months and put together a roadmap of what to
00:47:34.940 teach. And it's great. Now, like I said, it is bipartisan. It's bipartisan. Well, out of the 300,
00:47:44.840 there are maybe 10 Republicans. And of course, no Republican would ever, Mitt Romney, ever,
00:47:54.580 you know, engage in something, Mitt Romney, that isn't, you know, true blue, red, white, and blue,
00:48:00.560 founding fathers, you know, strict constitutionalist kind of thinking, Mitt Romney.
00:48:07.620 Now, this is, this happened right after the 1776 project that Donald Trump unveiled was called
00:48:16.800 racist and pulled immediately, I think, on one of the first days that Joe Biden was in office.
00:48:23.740 Well, one of the guys who was instrumental of this, he was the chairman of the 1776 commission.
00:48:31.860 He's also the president of Hillsdale College, the only college that I for sure will say yes to if my
00:48:39.860 kids decide to go to college. Dr. Larry Arnn, how are you, sir? I'm very well, Glenn. How are you doing?
00:48:46.380 I'm good. I'm good. First of all, when Biden came out and said that your 1776 report, I read it. I
00:48:57.680 thought it was fantastic. And they said that it was racist. There were no historians involved in
00:49:04.820 this. Can you tell me about the historians? First of all, no historians in this, huh?
00:49:12.120 Well, Victor Davis Hanson, one of the greatest historians in the land. Charles Kessler, who's
00:49:20.060 a political scientist and a student of the American founding for 40 years now. And, you
00:49:25.880 know, I know a little bit about it. Really? Yeah, you know, it was, the commission was, what,
00:49:34.580 there's 17 people. And, and, uh, you know, there's some serious people on there. Uh, John
00:49:42.260 Gibbs, who's been, uh, uh, worked in the government and various administrations and civil rights.
00:49:47.940 Peter Kersenow is another one. And, uh, they, you know, and we, we, uh, we had about five
00:49:53.860 weeks. I actually thought, call me naive, that, uh, Biden might, you know, expand the commission,
00:50:01.320 work with the commission. And, uh, I think it was by three o'clock in the afternoon after
00:50:07.640 he was inaugurated in the late morning, uh, the whole thing was wiped off the white house
00:50:13.360 website and was condemned in one, abolished in one of his first 17 executive orders as
00:50:19.400 racist. How, how is it explained to me how they justify that? Uh, well, it's what you were
00:50:26.160 talking about earlier about what's going on in the schools. Uh, you're a racist unless
00:50:31.480 you admit that the country was founded as a racist country and is structured as one.
00:50:37.640 It wasn't. I mean, all history will point to it. You can look at Jamestown and say that
00:50:44.760 that was part of slavery. But if you look at the pilgrims, the first slave ship that arrived,
00:50:50.700 they freed all the slaves. That's right. Yeah. And they, and you know, I mean, Thomas
00:50:57.580 Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson was a slave holder and he wrote the Declaration of Independence.
00:51:02.160 Thomas Jefferson wrote about slavery that I, I tremble for my country when I think that
00:51:08.140 God is just. And, and Thomas Jefferson was the chief instrument in, in assuring that the
00:51:14.660 Northwest territory where I live in Michigan and other states, uh, would never have slavery
00:51:20.020 in it. And that, and, and so the first time a free government in all of history grew, it
00:51:26.260 grew without colonies. They were territories soon to be states and it grew with a ban on
00:51:32.140 slavery forever in it. And so that's an achievement. There's hardly anything like that precedent
00:51:38.560 to that in history. And so, and it, and the key point, the people who wrote the Declaration
00:51:45.680 of Independence are uniform. I mean, the records are rich, right? In saying that slavery is condemned
00:51:53.760 by the principle of equality in the Declaration of Independence. If you read the first draft of the
00:51:59.580 Declaration of Independence, there's a paragraph written by Jefferson in his own hand where he
00:52:05.840 capitalizes the word men, where he says the king has, has violated every sacred right, um, given by God
00:52:16.800 by capturing, uh, and transporting, uh, slaves and then having an open auction where he sells these
00:52:27.540 quote, capital letters, men on the open market. That's pretty clear. Very. And, and see, that's a, that's a
00:52:36.860 really great point because, uh, of course America is not now and was not been a perfect country. And that
00:52:43.960 beautiful passage that Jefferson wrote was not in the final document. Right. And the reason was some of the
00:52:50.020 delegates of the Constitution were uncomfortable with it because they thought it would live, lead to a
00:52:54.640 slave revolt. So that means, yeah, they didn't know exactly how they were going to live together,
00:53:02.100 black and white, all alike. And that, that, and by the way, that had never happened before. Right. And so,
00:53:08.600 so, you know, you have to, uh, another thing about this trend in history is it collapses all the moral
00:53:15.780 distinctions, right? So the woke kids on college campuses will stand and chant at somebody who says
00:53:22.100 something they don't like, you are killing me, right? So you're being called a murderer for
00:53:28.240 something you said. And, and this is the same thing. If it wasn't perfect in the past and see,
00:53:35.440 it wasn't perfect. It was just the best because this question of how are we going to live together
00:53:42.760 black and white alike, how are we going to do that? That is the question that is put by the
00:53:48.300 Declaration of Independence. And, and so that document, there is no ground upon which to condemn
00:53:55.380 slavery or discrimination or injustice that is not stated most beautifully in the American
00:54:00.940 Declaration of Independence. The, the, the, not the Northern states, but the New England states,
00:54:06.480 uh, or colonies at the time, if they would have been a country, they would have been the first in the
00:54:11.940 world to abolish slavery. But then states like New York, they were pretty, you know, uh, engaged in,
00:54:21.240 in slavery. Um, what is it that they didn't understand when they say they were afraid of the
00:54:27.100 slave revolt? Why wasn't new England afraid of that? Because they never had slaves being a major
00:54:34.860 part of their society and black people could vote and were in office and one held a judge.
00:54:40.720 Well, they had slavery. All the states had slavery. By the time the founding generation had, uh, retired,
00:54:47.340 they had abolished slavery in 60% of the union. Now the places where they didn't abolish it,
00:54:53.720 uh, which are mostly in the states that eventually became the Confederacy, uh, those states had many more
00:55:00.260 because they had a labor system that depended on them. And that's the place that it's, it's not just
00:55:06.980 that there were many more slaves. Uh, it's the place where John C. Calhoun, you, by the way, you,
00:55:14.360 the first time I ever met you, you were taught, you and I talked about this point. Uh, John C. Calhoun was
00:55:20.280 the apostle of the positive good school of slavery. And he studied with, with people, students connected to
00:55:27.860 Friedrich Hegel. And Friedrich Hegel and German historicism, which is the, the, the father, both
00:55:33.920 of Nazism and of communism and of American progressivism is the idea that we evolve.
00:55:40.860 And so we're not, we don't have a nature, you know, the old understanding is if it's born and it
00:55:47.540 starts talking, it means it's a human and it doesn't make any difference what it looks like because
00:55:52.540 only humans do that. See, and, and that's nature. That's the, the essence and identity of a thing.
00:56:00.460 History is everything evolves over time. And one thing shades into another. And it's an easy step
00:56:07.320 from there, uh, to say either the left wing or the right wing thing, the left wing thing is good.
00:56:13.480 Then these explorers of ours, we've evolved to the place where we can destroy them or the right wing
00:56:19.360 thing. The people who are inferiors have involved, evolved to be our inferiors and, and they must be
00:56:26.940 our slaves. It would be, Calhoun says, an abomination to live with them as equals. Now that doctrine is not
00:56:34.580 present in the American revolution. It grows up later, uh, about a generation and a half later in ideas that
00:56:42.740 came from modern historicism, which are the most virulent ideas stalking the world to this very day.
00:56:49.360 And that means that if you condemn the founders, you're condemning the people who were the foremost
00:56:55.340 enemies of that kind of thinking. And you're mistaking to see, you know, I, we, we, I,
00:57:01.780 Hillsdale college turns out to be an abolitionist college. And we, you know, Frederick Douglass spoke
00:57:06.120 here twice. We have statutes of him and Lincoln and things like that. If I had John Calhoun,
00:57:11.240 I certainly wouldn't like the thing, right? Cause that was not a good guy, but, uh, but, uh, would I
00:57:19.700 tear it down? Well, that's a judgment. I don't know what I'd do about it, but, uh, cause, because why?
00:57:24.660 That's another point about this report. The last thing in the world that should be controversial
00:57:30.420 is history because history has happened, right? Uh, Aristotle says this alone is denied even to God
00:57:38.840 to make what has been not to have been right. In other words, if you want to know, you know,
00:57:46.860 I studied with Martin Gilbert, the official biographer of Winston Churchill, and he's, he's,
00:57:51.760 he's probably the greatest historian in the 20th century. And he used to say in the writing of 19th
00:57:58.820 and 20th century history, there is no room for the word, perhaps let's just say, look it up. Right.
00:58:06.100 And you know, the literature about this, uh, you know, the established historians, the, the,
00:58:12.920 the, the premier of them is Gordon Wood. And he's a student of Bernard Balin who was at Harvard. And he
00:58:18.540 was the premier American history historian. And Gordon Woods writes in response to that crazy
00:58:25.920 1619 project of the New York times, he writes, no colonist. Think what a statement that is. No
00:58:33.100 colonist ever said that the purpose of the colony was to, uh, perpetuate slavery. And that, and that
00:58:41.160 means that you can't, it's such a misunderstanding, you know, if, uh, the world that they were rebelling
00:58:51.880 against the American colonists was a world of aristocracy. The British aristocracy was the
00:58:58.120 mildest and the best aristocracy, but it was still an aristocracy. And that meant they were born
00:59:04.840 to privilege and rule. And that is specifically forbidden in the constitution of the United States.
00:59:11.680 Hang on just a second. We're, uh, we're talking to, uh, Dr. Larry Arnn. He is the, um, the former
00:59:19.120 chairman of the 1776 commission and the president of Hillsdale college. If you don't have online
00:59:24.180 classes from his Hillsdale, you should just look it up online. I, I give my monthly fee and, and learn
00:59:31.900 from the brilliant minds at Hillsdale college all the time. Uh, you should do that Hillsdale
00:59:37.660 college dot, or it's actually just Hillsdale.edu back in one minute. Uh, let me tell you a little
00:59:45.220 bit about my Patriot supply. They have cornered the market on the most amazing survival and
00:59:50.080 preparedness food out there. I had to know I've eaten their food and I've eaten their food quite
00:59:55.580 honestly, because my wife went away for a couple of days and I didn't want to go to the store and
00:59:59.660 there was nothing in the house. And I was like, Hmm, wait a minute. Yeah. The wife goes away. You
01:00:04.420 just give up on life after about 48 hours. You really do. You really do. If you're in the middle
01:00:09.860 of a difficult situation where you need an extra amount of food to get you and your family by
01:00:13.640 natural disasters are not in short supply. Standing in line for hours just to get some food
01:00:20.400 is not the way to go. Panicking is not the way to go. My Patriot supply is right now. You can
01:00:26.660 secure a four week, three month, or even a year's worth of emergency food, all providing 200 calories,
01:00:33.200 or sorry, 2000 calories a day. Go to my Patriot supply.com. Get their food storage. You need
01:00:38.600 before the emergency. It'll ship in one to two days and arrive discreetly at your door. Don't
01:00:44.060 wait. Prepare now. My Patriot supply.com. That's my Patriot supply.com. 10 seconds. Station ID.
01:00:50.560 We're doing a special tonight at 9 p.m. about history and what you need to know and the ways
01:01:06.660 you can stand up against this distortion of history. Doctor, how much trouble are our children
01:01:15.680 in? Especially with this new Biden, you know, civics class that is coming in? Well, the modern
01:01:28.400 form of tyranny is totalitarianism. That word was invented in the 1930s and in response to the
01:01:36.460 creation of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. And totalitarianism, that means they control
01:01:41.780 everything. And the most important thing to control is the children. And, you know, right,
01:01:49.800 they are going to take over the education. They have extensively taken over the education of our
01:01:55.600 children. And they tell them things that are soul destroying, right? First of all, they deprive the
01:02:02.020 past of all authority. And then something has to replace that, right? And it's the doctrines that
01:02:09.460 dominate. You read some of them at the beginning of this hour. And the kids, and see, they're just
01:02:15.500 kids, right? And so if you, they don't get the habit of reading a thing for themselves to find out
01:02:26.080 what it means. See, and that's, you know, at Hillsdale College, it's a very difficult college. It's
01:02:31.960 great if I do say so myself. We teach history through original source documents, right? And
01:02:38.160 that means, you know, you, you read Abraham Lincoln, and you read John Calhoun. And those
01:02:44.920 are two enemies, right? They're not quite contemporaries. But, and, you know, Stephen
01:02:49.980 Douglas and Frederick Douglas. And, and that means there's a huge argument in America. And you
01:02:57.900 read both sides of it. And you're now approaching, though, a society where you're not allowed to
01:03:05.200 even utter a question. You're not allowed to question authority. You're not allowed to read
01:03:10.880 the other side. If it's deemed politically incorrect, you're in trouble for it. You'll be canceled.
01:03:17.420 And, and it's not an argument. You know, I mean, the, the New York Times on the basis of,
01:03:22.740 uh, uh, had a headline on about our 1776 commission report, which is you, thank you for saying is a
01:03:29.960 beautiful document. 30 seconds. Uh, it, they said commission defends founding of America on the
01:03:38.480 basis of slavery. And of course, what the report says is that it was not founded on that basis.
01:03:45.380 Uh, I can't thank you enough for all of the work that you've done. I'd love to have you on again.
01:03:49.880 Uh, Dr. Larry Arnn from Hillsdale.com. This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:03:58.040 AMAC. AMAC. I don't know about you, but I consider myself a mature fellow. Yes, yes. And, uh, as such,
01:04:06.200 I'd rather enjoy the prospect of being part of a mature group that don't, not only provides me with
01:04:11.360 comprehensive lifts of benefits, you know, uh, because I do watch my pennies, but, uh, it also stands up
01:04:18.320 and fights for me in Washington. I mean, uh, Buffy and I, we can't fight. We're busy at the club and
01:04:24.480 things and whatnot. What about you? Are you mature like me? And if so, have you chosen which group you
01:04:30.720 want to be a part of? May I recommend AMAC? It's the Association of Mature American Citizens.
01:04:38.240 See, mature is right there in the title. It's, that's why I know it's for people who are mature.
01:04:43.100 AMAC stands for solvency in a time of runaway debt, national security and sovereignty over
01:04:49.340 unchecked borders. They believe in the sanctity of life. In Washington, AMAC has been pushing back for
01:04:55.180 years against the radical left socialist agenda. They were started during the Obama years. They get
01:05:01.600 it. They'll stand with you. You stand with them. There is power in numbers. Go to amac.us

01:05:25.840 This is the Glenn Beck program tonight at nine o'clock only on Blaze TV. We are going to talk to
01:05:33.040 you a little bit about history. History is under attack and we're going into civic action history
01:05:40.660 where the names of the places and everything that doesn't mean anything. It's all about action and
01:05:46.600 kids love to take action. Civics action is coming to your school if it's not already there. And that is
01:05:54.740 how to protest, how to march in the streets. Our kids are being indoctrinated and they're not learning
01:06:01.360 history. The new AP U.S. history standards do not include Hitler or the Holocaust and paint America
01:06:11.560 as the bad guys in World War II because they only pick it up at the dropping of the atomic bomb.
01:06:18.920 We set that correct for your kids today and we show you how powerful that bomb was. We've got a
01:06:24.580 couple of items that were actually in the blast of Hiroshima new to the vault and it is.
01:06:30.860 It's amazing. You don't want to miss tonight because we're going to show you what you can do.
01:06:37.160 And speaking of that, there was a great article out yesterday that I read and I thought it was
01:06:42.320 really, really well done by somebody who knows. Her name is Helen Raleigh and she was born in China
01:06:54.480 and lived in China for a while. And what she talked about how to fight this, what this cultural
01:07:02.600 revolution, she's lived through one before. And I wanted to get her on. Hi, Helen. How are you?
01:07:09.500 I'm good. How are you, Glenn?
01:07:11.040 I'm very good. So can you just tell the story about what you wrote yesterday in The Federalist?
01:07:16.520 Sure. So this is the one about the canceling Dr. Seuss, right? Yes. Yes. And it's really
01:07:25.700 heartbroken for me to read that Dr. Seuss was canceled on his birthday. I shared my experience
01:07:32.620 of growing up in China. I never had a quality, great children's literature. I shared the story I read
01:07:39.480 as a child. The children's literature was available, was about condemning a beaten landlord,
01:07:48.160 landowner to death. And it was the rooster crows at midnight. Can you tell that story a bit?
01:07:55.640 Sure. So the rooster crow at night was a children's, written for children, actually. It was about this
01:08:02.720 evil landowner that he was very cruel to everybody, the laborers who worked for him. And thanks to the
01:08:10.840 Communist Party who liberated all the poor people, they took a land and the livestock away from him
01:08:16.980 and distributed it to all the poor people. So all the poor people were happy. And then one night in
01:08:21.980 the midnight, he tried to steal a chicken from the poor people because he didn't have any. The story
01:08:28.160 did not say that. And then the children caught him. And the children who caught him, and there was a
01:08:33.900 picture in the storybook. It's a black and white picture show the children who have all pointed this
01:08:39.960 shiny spear at him. And he was just knelt down on the ground, head dropped, hands tied on his back. It
01:08:47.160 looks like really, you know, completely defeated. And the author who were interviewed after the story
01:08:55.680 became really popular. The author was interviewed, he mentioned, this was a real life story. And the
01:09:01.680 landowner who was caught after struggle session, he was beaten to death. That's the story I read when I
01:09:08.620 was a child in China.
01:09:10.300 That's a warm story. And you, when you came to America, you knew about Dr. Seuss, but it wasn't until
01:09:16.840 you, until you had a child and you started reading that you read Dr. Seuss for the first time. And what
01:09:23.600 was that experience like?
01:09:26.600 It was very refreshing, because I found that I'm trying to fill out a missing chapter in my own
01:09:33.920 childhood. And I was making it up, you know, during my adulthood, because there was no reason for me
01:09:39.960 to even thought about reading it until, you know, I was about to become a mother. And I just love the
01:09:46.260 colorful pictures. I love the simple words, but it's very rhyme. And I love the joy. And I just,
01:09:52.800 listen, even though this Dr. Seuss book is written in simple words, but they have a deep meaning. If
01:09:59.260 you really think about it, you know, like the thing about if you'll keep your eyes shut, you will see
01:10:03.760 nothing. You know, that's perfect for today's cancel culture. If you keep your mind shut, if you keep your
01:10:09.060 eyes shut, you will see nothing, you will learn nothing. And I wish more of us will read his book
01:10:14.260 instead of banning his book.
01:10:16.140 Well, so what do you say about that? Because people say this is not the cancel culture.
01:10:22.080 But it is when eBay refuses to sell a used copy of the book, I think. But what do you say that it
01:10:30.560 was the family that that said, I don't we don't want to print these books anymore. They own the
01:10:35.760 copyright. So is it cancel culture? Or is it just what what is it exactly? Because there are really
01:10:43.180 negative stereotypes of Chinese people in I can't believe I saw it on Mulberry Street.
01:10:52.580 Right. But let's just unpack this a little bit. First of all, it was not Chinese American immigrants
01:10:59.380 who raised any questions about that. You know, we cannot use today's moral standard to judge things
01:11:06.960 that happened, you know, take place with their historical context. You will do that. There's nobody's
01:11:12.260 perfect. We're going to cancel all the valuable things ever, ever been created, because there's
01:11:18.060 nothing going to be perfect enough. And I think that's why this cancel culture is really, it's a
01:11:23.360 culture is a left, left, it's a culture revolution. And it's not going to stop by bending a few books,
01:11:29.740 or tear down a few statues. It's a movement to really cancel the Western civilization. The bending a few
01:11:38.680 books is just the beginning. That's why I mentioned my piece, I see the parallel between what's
01:11:45.280 happening in America, really, in the Western civilization today, is really parallel to what's
01:11:50.860 happening in China during the Cultural Revolution. It's about a total destruction of the old world. So
01:11:57.900 the book map can create a ideologically purified new world. That's why I find this whole banning
01:12:05.640 books and also eBay preventing you from even trading about it, trading a book voluntarily.
01:12:11.560 That is really problematic. You know, the Dr. Seuss enterprise, they only stopped publishing those
01:12:19.440 books because the woke map complained about those books. It was not the complaint was not filed
01:12:25.520 because Asian people complained. It was filed because the woke map decided that they are going
01:12:30.980 to cancel Dr. Seuss's book. And they're going to start with the most problematic ones. And they're going
01:12:35.740 to go down from there. They're never going to stop until they canceled everything.
01:12:39.900 You you've lived through it. You saw the Cultural Revolution with with Mao. And people say that that's
01:12:45.660 crazy, that it would never happen here. But I contend that, you know, it starts with suggestions.
01:12:51.060 Then it moves to shoving people shouting and shoving. And when you've shouted and shoved everybody that you
01:12:59.260 can, the only thing left is to shoot. Is that crazy to think that that kind of thing that this is just
01:13:06.280 going to continue until you I mean, what are you going to do with the rest of the people that refuse to go
01:13:11.540 along? How does this end if we don't wake up?
01:13:14.880 Well, if we don't wake up, it's going to end just like the Cultural Revolution, it's going to be a
01:13:21.060 total destruction of the Western civilization. And you're absolutely right. The true, the trajectory
01:13:27.740 is the woke map first going to pick something that we all agree that's problematic, right? Like the
01:13:33.560 Confederate statues, like the Dr. Seuss book with a racial stereotype of joy. So they're going to pick
01:13:39.600 something that's problematic to begin with, then most of us will say, yeah, you know,
01:13:44.620 we can accept those things maybe not correct. But again, they will not stop there. Because if you
01:13:49.980 listen to their speeches, if you look at their writings, they are deeply hostile to the entire
01:13:55.420 Western civilization, because they believe this civilization is inherently, irredeemably racist
01:14:02.300 and oppressive. So they're going to start with statues, they're going to start with a few books,
01:14:07.420 but they won't stop until this whole civilization is being destroyed. And even
01:14:13.340 there are people who don't willing to go along. That's what happened in Cultural Revolution is
01:14:19.100 eventually, you're going to have to use blood to purify the idea, you know, to purify the
01:14:24.140 ideology. So that that may happen, you will continue down this road, and people already losing jobs,
01:14:29.980 the left and right losing the livelihood today in America, because they said something, or wrote
01:14:35.980 something that, you know, the woke mob do not like, and they will condemn them,
01:14:41.660 drive them out of the marketplace. That's happening here right now.
01:14:44.940 Before I change subjects on you, I just want to point out that
01:14:50.540 she, she speak, it's not only the that they're going to wipe out the culture, they wipe out your,
01:14:56.940 even your personal history. Helen, as she was reading about this evil landowner,
01:15:02.220 uh, and, and how he was surrounded by kids and he, and all landowners are evil. It wasn't until
01:15:10.060 later in life that she learned that her great grandfather was a landowner and that book was
01:15:16.300 preaching against him as well. She didn't know that. Um, let me just hit one more thing with you
01:15:23.340 before you go next hour. We're going to talk about this, this, uh, uh, trend they're saying of white
01:15:31.740 supremacists that are beating up Asians. And it does not ring true to me. We can't find anything,
01:15:38.700 uh, that seems legitimate on this. Do you have any insight on, is this happening where,
01:15:45.980 you know, uh, Donald Trump fans are, are beating up Asians?
01:15:53.180 Well, so there's a definite rise of a hate crimes against Asians, um, since last year. So it's
01:16:00.300 a complicated, um, uh, last year, uh, most, some of the complaints I should say related to the
01:16:06.060 coronavirus, the pandemic, the fear, um, but, but this year, uh, particularly in some of the most
01:16:12.700 the progressive cities, the United States, like San Francisco and New York city, um, there are
01:16:17.740 several very vicious, vicious attack against the Asian, uh, especially the Asian seniors,
01:16:23.740 unprovoked attack against the Asians. And those, uh, yeah, and those perpetrators, they were not
01:16:30.540 white. Uh, they were non-Asian, you know, minorities. Let me just put it that way. They were not white,
01:16:35.900 but the activists that now and the mainstream media try to portray this very vicious attack,
01:16:42.460 what happened recently somehow was driven by the white nationalism. Um, there's just a disconnect
01:16:49.100 there. And I think I wrote another piece for the news week on this, uh, you know, related to this
01:16:54.140 subject, um, because when you are not waiting to identify the true root cause of a hate crime,
01:17:01.740 you're going to cause the government to misallocate resources and not, not, not able to protect the
01:17:08.540 Asian communities, you know, effectively and efficiently. So I wish more people will speak
01:17:13.580 up. The Asian community have, have, uh, spoken up against the critical risk theory. And I wish
01:17:19.980 more people will have the courage to speak up, identify the root cause of this.
01:17:23.980 The Asian community has made a huge difference on critical race, uh, on the West coast. And, uh,
01:17:30.540 Helen, thank you for everything that you do. And thank you for your courage for standing up. I,
01:17:36.540 I know it's not easy, uh, but thank you for your example. Appreciate it.
01:17:43.180 Thank you for having me. That's, uh, Helen Raleigh. She is the senior contributor for the
01:17:47.980 Federalist and the author of backlash. You can follow her at Helen Raleigh speaks.com.
01:17:54.140 Well, let me tell you a little bit about rough greens. You've been talking, uh, you've been
01:18:01.420 hearing me talk about rough greens for a year now, and it's a supplement that you sprinkle on your
01:18:06.620 dog's food. It contains all kinds of vitamins and minerals and probiotics, antioxidants. Stu's dog
01:18:12.700 wouldn't go outside. Uh, I mean, wouldn't really run around or do anything. And I saw a video of
01:18:18.780 your dog miles, a thousand years old, running around outside and, uh, walking right onto the
01:18:25.100 ice, uh, in the pool. And you jumped in that freezing water and saved him. That's how I remember
01:18:31.740 it. It's a, there might've been some details that you're exaggerating a little bit, but, uh,
01:18:37.020 wait, wait, wait. He fell into the water, didn't he? And weren't you looking for him under the water?
01:18:41.900 No. Yes. Uh, really? Then I saw some, I saw a video of somebody. No, it was you. Tell me what
01:18:49.980 happened. I, he walked onto the ice. It didn't fall through. He almost fell through and I went out
01:18:54.380 and scooted him back, but, uh, he would have definitely been dead if he fell through. Uh,
01:18:58.460 he walked right by the open area. I saw another video. He can't see. And so he didn't realize
01:19:05.100 there's snow on top of the ice. Did not realize he was walking across the pool. Luckily I didn't see
01:19:10.220 him and shift, uh, scoot him back. But you're, he does move around and he does run around
01:19:14.300 a lot more than he used to. Maybe you should stop feeding him rough green. So he'd die already.
01:19:18.460 So you don't have to run out your socks. I know it's horrible, isn't it? Don't do it.
01:19:23.020 It's horrible. I can't think about it. He's 150 years old right now. He was born. He was at the
01:19:27.800 actual signing of the declaration of independence. Is this the, I know he, he does look like that.
01:19:32.580 Yeah. Is this the first dog that you've, you've had grow old on you like this? Well, no,
01:19:37.280 we had our Phoebe, uh, our other pug who, uh, who grew to 17 before she died. I'm lucky to get to
01:19:44.820 12 with my dogs. Good luck with the dogs, but it's, it does not make it any easier, man. I'll tell
01:19:50.080 you. Rough greens. If you love your dog as much as we love ours, uh, get them rough greens. I mean,
01:19:55.720 they, they will love it and you will see a difference. And Dr. Dennis black, the inventor
01:19:59.820 of rough greens understands that not everybody's dog is going to like this. So he's decided to help you
01:20:05.220 find out if your dog likes the product before you commit to purchasing. I don't know anybody's
01:20:10.240 dog who hasn't loved this stuff, but, uh, your dog is probably going to love it. But you can get a
01:20:14.660 free bag of rough greens. Now just for your dog to try out. All you do is pay for the shipping.
01:20:20.460 So call them or go to rough greens.com slash Beck 833 Glenn 33, 833 GLE N N 33. You can call them
01:20:29.880 today. It's rough greens.com slash Beck. This is the Glenn Beck program. Mike Lee is going to be
01:20:48.540 joining us in just a few minutes, uh, from the Senate. He is going to talk to us a little bit
01:20:53.420 about the for the people act. It's now heading over to, uh, the, um, Senate. And shortly thereafter,
01:21:02.620 the pro act, which is the labor union act, which is, is devastating, just devastating to freedom.
01:21:13.420 Also, we're at $30 trillion now as our, uh, our debt, $30 trillion. And how do we,
01:21:23.400 maintain this? I, I keep coming to this conclusion of like, there's some number, right? Where we hit
01:21:28.260 it and it's irreversible and we're really screwed. And we're certainly, they say a hundred and
01:21:33.860 coaching it, right? They're saying 120% is, uh, of GDP, of GDP is the no return point of no return.
01:21:45.160 And we're not there yet. GDP is 21.4 trillion. So if we're at $30 trillion, well, then we are,
01:21:52.680 all right. Oops. Oops. Sorry. You're screwed, America. Yeah. Sorry. Uh, so, uh, but maybe,
01:21:59.680 you know, the, the idea is this is a temporary thing. Surely, surely they're going to stop all
01:22:05.980 this crazy spending and any, why are you laughing? I don't know. I just think you're funny. Okay.
01:22:10.600 You're just cute. I remember when I was young and naive.
01:22:13.600 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck
01:22:38.380 program. The gig economy, Uber, Uber eats, you know, DoorDash, anything delivered to your home
01:22:53.060 could be a thing of the past. We're going to have to reinvent that reinvention. Government's getting
01:22:58.340 involved and so are the labor unions. 57 million Americans now work as freelancers in some capacity,
01:23:05.600 but president Biden just endorsed a radical labor law that endangers the livelihood of,
01:23:12.840 of Uber and everybody else that works in the gig economy. Uh, but it doesn't go far enough just to do
01:23:20.280 that. It also curbs your freedom of speech. It makes you pay for unions. It takes away your vote. If you
01:23:28.840 want to vote in private and nobody knows how you voted. No, no, no. Now you have to stand in front of
01:23:34.160 the bullies and say, no, I'm, I'm not for the union. And, uh, I don't really want a horse head in my bed,
01:23:42.840 please. That's all coming. Plus we're now at $30 trillion in debt. And that number just keeps
01:23:51.140 going. Oh, and we're changing the way America votes. This is fantastic. Mike Lee telling us what we need
01:24:00.020 to know and what he needs as backup from the American people in 60 seconds,
01:24:06.640 the Glenn Beck program, Omaha steaks, you know, that phenomenal, when you happen to go to the
01:24:17.560 refrigerator, see what you have. And then you go back just a few minutes later, as if the contents
01:24:22.760 changed somehow or another, it's weird. We all do it. Planning for meals is a hard thing to do. And most
01:24:28.860 of us, you know, don't do it consistently. Sometimes we decide what we're having for dinner
01:24:32.940 five minutes before it's time to cook dinner. But if you could open up the refrigerator or the
01:24:37.600 freezer every time, and you had the makings of a good meal at your fingertips. I mean, that's good
01:24:43.880 news. We keep opening up like, what can we eat? What can we eat? Well, Omaha steaks is shipping. Now
01:24:49.160 don't get stuck without great food in the house. They have an unbelievable assortment of steak and chicken
01:24:55.800 fish. They have the side dishes, the potatoes, the desserts, everything. You want a great deal?

01:25:22.620 comparison. You need this in your freezer instead of going to the local butcher, or instead of going
01:25:29.840 to the supermarket to get your meat, get it from Omaha steaks. Type in Beck in the search bar for
01:25:35.720 the special offer and order the butchers bestseller pack today. You'll save over 50%. Plus you'll get
01:25:43.040 four free chicken breasts and four free burgers. That's Omaha steaks.com. Use the keyword Beck and
01:25:50.220 save 50%. All right, let's, uh, let's go to our good senator, Senator Mike Lee, who's got to be tired
01:26:02.980 by now, honestly. Senator, how are you, sir? I'm doing great, Glenn. Good to be with you. But, you
01:26:11.320 know, nothing is more invigorating for a tired man than going on the Glenn Beck program. Yeah, that's,
01:26:16.240 it's got to be a highlight of your day, Mike. So, Mike, uh, I want to, we have to talk about,
01:26:21.320 uh, several things. First of all, the for the people act, is that thing going to pass in the Senate?
01:26:29.080 No. And if they try to do it, it'll be over my dead body.
01:26:33.680 Don't say that it might be. This thing not only renders major parts of the constitution
01:26:39.440 superfluous. It renders the people superfluous. It consolidates government in Washington. It makes
01:26:47.120 it impossible for states to require a voter ID. It makes it impossible, uh, for states to prohibit
01:26:55.840 someone from showing up on the same day and registering to vote on the same day that they vote.
01:27:00.040 And it, uh, requires at least 15 days of, um, of early voting. It makes the verification process
01:27:09.740 almost impossible to comply with. And if there's, if there's one part of it that caught my attention,
01:27:15.580 there's even a part of it that can be read to suggest that they're going to start allowing
01:27:19.540 17 year olds to vote, uh, which, you know, I would have loved because in the fall of 1988,
01:27:26.260 um, uh, did George Walker Bush was on the ballot. I was the president of the teenage Republican
01:27:32.860 club high school in Provo, you know, like all the cool kids. Yeah. You were cool from the beginning.
01:27:39.040 I actually wrestled with the idea of wishing I had a fake ID just so I could vote, but I knew that
01:27:44.260 wouldn't be right. So I do it. Yeah. Well, there's a, yeah, the crime, the Mike Lee crime spree finally
01:27:50.000 comes out. So Mike, but I want to be clear. I didn't do it. I just, I just thought, I know, I know,
01:27:55.140 I know. So Mike, uh, it's not going to pass any form of it. Well, uh, look, they're going to try
01:28:03.940 if, if, if not for the filibuster, they would pass this and they would probably pass it tomorrow.
01:28:10.140 They're still going to try to pass it. I'm not sure when they're going to try to bring it to the
01:28:14.240 Senate floor. Uh, but I'm confident that they're going to try to get around the filibuster.
01:28:19.240 So do you have any comp, do you have any confidence anymore in mansion? Now he's starting to like,
01:28:23.980 well, I mean, you know, there's some nuance there. Yeah. I worry a little bit about the fact
01:28:30.180 that he is now targeted for immense pressure to be brought down on him. Um, uh, and, and
01:28:37.620 that he's in a position now of wanting to accommodate democratic leadership whenever he can. And that
01:28:45.480 worries me a little bit because there are a lot of tricks they can play. There are a lot of things
01:28:49.220 they could do to convince him. Oh, no, no, we're not nuking the filibuster. This is just a
01:28:53.500 minor technical correction. We're not nuking the filibuster. All we're asking you to do is take a
01:28:58.280 walk, be out of the room while we have vice president Harris, uh, rule that 51 votes somehow
01:29:04.500 satisfies the cloture standard. And then just, just don't join the Republicans in voting to appeal the
01:29:09.920 ruling of the chair. That sort of thing can chip away at the filibuster and effectively nuke it
01:29:14.980 without ever requiring Joe Manchin to vote affirmatively to do so. Okay. That scares me to
01:29:19.520 death. So this is, this is, uh, the changing of the voting system. It is, it becomes almost irrelevant
01:29:27.960 in my, in my opinion, and very unconstitutional. The federal government does not have a right to do
01:29:34.440 any of this according to the constitution. Now let me switch to another topic. Biden has just said
01:29:41.660 that he, um, is encouraging the Senate, uh, and the house to, uh, pass, uh, the pro act.
01:29:52.320 And that is the, I mean, you want to talk about a pro union giveaway. That's it. Tell me what you
01:29:59.700 know about the pro act. I know very little about the pro act. I can imagine that it probably has
01:30:07.640 something to do with card check. They probably want to take away the ability of workers to cast a
01:30:13.740 private ballot. It absolutely does easier. Okay. It goes a lot further than that, but it does have
01:30:19.980 that in it. Yeah. I mean, look, um, workers have, have got the right to form organizations and, uh,
01:30:28.660 but we've got established laws, uh, that govern the process of workers making that decision.
01:30:34.420 And it's important that workers be given the chance to cast their votes, uh, with a secret ballot and
01:30:41.080 not being watched by, uh, by people who might impose consequences on them if they don't vote the way
01:30:47.400 they want to. That's a pretty fundamental part of our, our labor law system. Uh, and if they want to
01:30:53.920 undo that, perhaps they just want to empower the unions, not necessarily the workers they represent,
01:30:57.940 but the union bosses. That's not cool.
01:31:00.800 So it also, uh, it also gets rid of the gig economy. Uh, and it says it's protecting those
01:31:07.440 people, but basically it's, you know, it's, uh, redoing what happened in California and the people
01:31:14.320 went nuts when that happened. Uh, so, so he wants us to go back to the era of having to sit in smelly
01:31:21.540 taxi cabs. I mean, that is absolutely absurd. It might as well require us to go back to the era of
01:31:31.180 the eight track cassette tape and the era of the tinfoil TV dinner. I mean, look, there are a lot
01:31:38.800 of things that we've moved beyond as a society and the old pre gig economy is not something any of us
01:31:44.500 are anxious to go back to, but I can understand why someone wedded to big labor bosses, as opposed
01:31:51.320 to the workers, those people represent would want to shun technology like the plague. It would want to
01:31:58.820 deprive society of the many benefits associated with it. It's tragic, but sadly not that surprising.
01:32:06.180 Mike, you don't have to answer this because I do want to talk to you about, uh, the, uh, the COVID
01:32:13.200 relief bill as well. You, you have been so strong on this. Um, and we're, we've, we're now at 30
01:32:20.240 trillion dollars of debt, but I do want to ask you tomorrow, the president is going to have his first
01:32:26.000 press conference and there's been some disturbing video recently. Uh, do you have any firsthand
01:32:33.120 knowledge that, that he's okay? I, I don't, I don't, but you know, I haven't had any interaction
01:32:44.100 with him, uh, since he was sworn in as president. So I don't have any firsthand, uh, knowledge of that
01:32:49.660 or, or any knowledge beyond what, uh, anyone could see on TV from day to day. And the, the benchmark
01:32:56.760 against which one would compare that is relatively small because his TV appearances have been relatively
01:33:02.160 short, relatively scripted and in relatively controlled environments. So, um, yeah, well,
01:33:08.940 there is precedent speculation. There is precedent on this, uh, when, uh, people from the opposing
01:33:15.800 party and his own party, uh, went to check on Woodrow Wilson. He had had a stroke and he hadn't been
01:33:22.180 seen for a year and his wife was actually signing all of the bills. Uh, and, uh, you know, it's just,
01:33:29.800 there is a, there is historical evidence that sometimes people hide how sick the president is,
01:33:36.720 uh, if, if it's a problem and I hope that's not happening. Um, all right, talk to me. I certainly
01:33:42.940 don't think that's happening. We, we've seen some clips of them out talking to people and, you know,
01:33:46.980 just in relatively short spurts. Right. Um, I don't think that's happening either. Uh, I just,
01:33:51.860 but it, it, if it's progressing, it, it could happen. Um, all right, talk to me, talk to me
01:33:57.840 about a $30 trillion debt and your comment I thought was great on this. It's not like Republicans
01:34:05.600 can say, Hey, we did everything we could. They're part of the problem. Yeah. Well, first of all,
01:34:13.440 we went on a massive spree over the last year and really over the last four years, um, Republican
01:34:22.200 spending has not exactly been a model of restraint. This one takes it to a new level. This one makes,
01:34:30.300 uh, an art form out of using COVID is the ultimate excuse for getting away with anything you want,
01:34:37.940 even if it's hurting other people. So about $2 trillion that was spent very little of it actually
01:34:44.360 was tied to COVID. And this comes about, uh, by the way, at a moment when it'll take us up to a
01:34:50.920 $30 trillion debt comes about at a moment when we're starting to see light at the end of the
01:34:56.100 tunnel. Vaccines are coming out. Immunity is building infection rates, hospitalization rates,
01:35:00.760 death rates are going down. We're spending $2 trillion extra in the name of COVID, but very little
01:35:07.440 of that actually goes to COVID. In fact, less than 1% of that bill goes to vaccine production
01:35:13.960 and distribution. So what the heck is it then? Well, $1,400 checks, and then you got your, uh,
01:35:20.200 $375 billion going to state and local governments, which by the way, or roughly on par with where they
01:35:29.220 were expected to be revenue wise. Some states have even seen their revenues go up. Yeah. This is just
01:35:33.980 a big giveaway, a giveaway, especially to a lot of states that have been loyal to Democrats. And I
01:35:38.960 find that really offensive. So Mike, what do you need from the, the people? Because I think people
01:35:45.560 want to do something. They just don't believe that anything will change. And, um, and then also people
01:35:52.240 feel very alone right now. What can the people do? All right. What, what, what the people can do,
01:36:00.480 anyone within the sound of my voice who happens to agree that we've got a problem with Washington,
01:36:05.060 this stuff is just gross. Just focus. Anytime you get a chance to talk to a member of Congress or
01:36:11.140 somebody running for any federal office, talk to them about the fact that you'd love to see the
01:36:15.320 federal government just do the things the federal government is supposed to do. That means borders,
01:36:21.860 uh, immigration laws, weights and measures, trademarks, copyrights, and patents, national defense,
01:36:26.280 declaring war, granting letters, market reprisal, bankruptcy laws, regulating international and
01:36:33.520 interstate trade. That's about it. Focus on that stuff. Focus on article one, section eight,
01:36:39.580 leave everything else to the States. It's already the law. It's already the constitution. It's already
01:36:45.040 the case that every member of Congress and every president has taken an oath to affirm that same
01:36:51.260 principle. We got down this rabbit hole because starting about 85 years ago,
01:36:56.320 Senates houses of representatives and white houses of every conceivable partisan combination have been
01:37:02.620 engaging in this legislative orgy that assumes that everything is appropriately federal and they're
01:37:09.260 spending more and more and more money doing a lot of times stuff that really isn't any of our
01:37:14.260 business. Spend most of that at the state and local level, send most of this federal authority back to
01:37:20.660 the States where it belongs. That's where I think the message needs to be. Mike Lee. Thank you so
01:37:26.600 much. I appreciate you standing. I can't imagine how frustrated you are to be working in that.
01:37:33.760 Uh, but I'm glad you're there. Thank you so much, Mike. Hey, thanks so much, Glenn. It's not that bad.
01:37:39.160 If you don't think about it, you just keep plugging along. I know that. Thank you so much.
01:37:44.960 That's why I wish I weren't in a recovering alcoholic because just alcoholism would do a
01:37:52.960 lot of wonderful things for me right now. Um, let me tell you about a timeshare termination team.
01:37:58.920 You can tell timeshare owners when you see them, you know, because you usually see them at the bar
01:38:03.620 and they've, they've, they're on like their eighth drink and, uh, you know, they'll talk. Believe me,
01:38:09.400 brother. And, and, and, and another thing you want irony. I'll give you irony. I bought that stupid
01:38:19.180 timeshare so I can go on vacation. And here's the ironic thing. You want irony? I bought a timeshare
01:38:30.540 to take a vacation. Uh, but now when I want to go, this stupid thing costs me so much. I can't afford
01:38:41.460 to go on to vacation. If this is you, when you sober up, it's time to call timeshare termination
01:38:48.940 team and take advantage of their 100% get you out guarantee. 100% get you out guarantee timeshare

01:39:36.340 So, have you seen the price of gas lately?
01:39:56.860 Oh my gosh. Thank you, Joe Biden voters. No, seriously. I think people all over America
01:40:04.660 just love you right now. Oh, and it's going up more and more. The oil prices are up yet again
01:40:11.500 today and this will be something. Do you remember the days where that was a big news story when George
01:40:18.120 Bush was president? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Obama was president and it still went up and no
01:40:23.720 one cared. No one cared. Nobody talked about that. No. So I assume that we're going to get that treatment
01:40:29.080 again here where gas prices will go up and it just won't be that big of an issue. Because look,
01:40:34.140 the climate is an existential threat. Listen, we've got to do getting to work isn't one. Yeah,
01:40:39.180 we got to do the things that we have to do. You know the thing. You know, as Joe Biden famously
01:40:45.060 said, you know the thing. Right. The thing. Pledge allegiance to the, you know, the thing.
01:40:51.760 The thing. And he's got that guy in that thing across the river that does the military stuff.
01:40:57.540 Yeah, that guy, the general. I call him general. I don't know. He's kind of a general. He's
01:41:02.140 actually the word you're looking for is secretary of defense. And the thing that he runs is the
01:41:09.900 Pentagon. That's just, I just want to. He's the guy that, he's the animated general that
01:41:14.960 sells the insurance, right? It's that guy. It's the general. No, not the general. Not
01:41:18.860 that. Not that. Okay. You can call him a general, but he's actually not a general. The general
01:41:23.460 he was talking about was actually a general, but now is a secretary. How did, how, how did
01:41:30.080 a four star general become a early secretary type in and stuff like that? Don't only have
01:41:39.520 other people to do stuff like that for those generals. Imagine how much easy, every once
01:41:44.480 in a while I fantasize about this. Just think about how much easier it would be to just be
01:41:49.900 a liberal. Oh my gosh. Like, I mean, it listens. It'd be so great. They have a president who
01:41:54.520 can't talk. And they're just like, well, we just won't ever put him in front of the people
01:41:58.580 and no one will say anything for six months. It'd be so great. Like, wait, what? But you
01:42:02.360 wouldn't. That's an option? You wouldn't really know what you believe. I mean, here's the good
01:42:06.360 side. While we're all in the gulag, we'll know exactly what we believe. Yeah. That's,
01:42:12.100 you know. Wow. It sounds wonderful. Yeah. Yeah. That's, uh, that's really what you're
01:42:15.300 going to care about because we're, because we're questioned all the time because we have
01:42:21.020 to defend ourself now, literally all the time. We know what we believe in. We know why we
01:42:27.820 believe in it. We, it humbles you. It does look at the arrogance of the left. It's just,
01:42:35.800 we know, we know we're right. We know what's best. We know what's wrong with those people.
01:42:43.120 We're the only ones that can fix it. I don't feel that way about anything. I don't. The
01:42:49.240 only thing I'm certain of is that I'm not certain of anything anymore. And, uh, I do
01:42:56.320 my best, but I'm open to other ideas. I would see people don't understand this. I'd love
01:43:03.360 what's like Stu said. I'd love to be a liberal. I'd love to be in the popular group. Love
01:43:07.740 it. Love it. Love to love to be able to have just a, just a gateway to wild success. Hmm.
01:43:17.940 You don't have to be good at things like, you know, Barack Obama was getting like multimillion
01:43:21.840 dollar contracts with Netflix for no reason at all. Yeah. Just, this seems to happen to
01:43:27.500 these guys just constantly. And I meet with Netflix and they love what I have to say. And
01:43:32.160 then they have to run it by, you know, the powers that be, and it just never seems to
01:43:36.740 happen. I was shocked. This is the Glenn Beck program. If you're living in pain, especially
01:43:46.440 if you're living with constant and severe pain, like I have this pain in my, and it's, I tried
01:43:53.840 to have it removed. Uh, I think Friday they're having story move. It sucks. Uh, and it sucks
01:44:02.740 the life right out of you when you're in constant pain, get out of pain, try relief factor. I
01:44:08.840 know you've tried a million things, but could I just ask you just to try this relief factor
01:44:14.880 has worked for me in a huge way. I still take it every day. I just took a couple of hours
01:44:20.080 ago. I take it every day. Why would I do that? If it wasn't working, I could, you know, I
01:44:25.940 could read the commercial and tell you, I believe in it, but I take it every single
01:44:30.280 day. I believe in it because it's worked for me. And 70% of the people who try relief factor
01:44:36.080 go on to order more because it works for them. Relief factor, go to relief factor.com or call
01:44:42.800 800-500-8384. Relief factor.com 800-500-8384. Please. I invite you to do it now.
01:44:57.060 And go to blazetv.com slash Glenn promo code is Glenn. You'll save 10 bucks on your subscription
01:45:01.660 to blaze TV tonight. Back to back. Studos America and Glenn TV. Yeah.
01:45:12.800 There is a real problem in America. It's a new one. You might not have heard of it,
01:45:21.140 but it's starting to make the rounds and we have to take it seriously. How do I know?
01:45:26.660 How do I know? Well, let me start here. AAPI. Of course, you probably as a racist don't know
01:45:33.740 what that stands for, but it's Asian American Pacific Islander. And please, I implore you to stop
01:45:42.120 hating them. I don't know why people do it, Stu, but they stop the AAPI hate.
01:45:50.380 They just can't stop hating Asians. I don't know why they're doing it. I know. I know. It's terrible.
01:45:54.380 And I wouldn't have known about this if it hadn't been for giant corporations.
01:45:58.760 That's how we get all of our moral leadership. Sure. I've always thought,
01:46:01.980 what do the sneaker companies do? You know what I mean? What do they think about this?
01:46:06.460 They seem really moral. You know, because they're not making sneakers in like sweat camps in China.
01:46:12.120 Oh, no way. Not in Asia. That's for sure. No way. Nope. Like Converse. Converse says hate
01:46:18.300 towards one of us is hate towards all of us. The strength of our community is demonstrated in the
01:46:23.000 way we speak up for each other. And we at Converse stand against hate, violence, discrimination,
01:46:27.220 and racism. We stand in solidarity with our Asian community. Hashtag stop Asian hate.
01:46:33.600 Oh, that is great. Now, that's just one sneaker company. What about the other sneaker company?
01:46:39.960 Nike is another one. Nike to our Asian community. We respect you. We are with you. Nike condemns racism.
01:46:49.460 I like this one because they did it with the dark text and just like the words slowly faded up.
01:46:54.540 I like it. Tommy Hilfiger, we stand with the Asian community. We must all be united against racism.
01:47:02.700 I don't even know this company. Complex.
01:47:08.040 Whatever they do. Important things.
01:47:10.300 We stand in solidarity with the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities against the rise in
01:47:15.840 xenophobic rhetoric, racist acts, anti-Asian hate crimes. Join us and help stop AAPI hate.
01:47:23.140 ESPN, which rarely checks in on anything political. ESPN stands with the Asian community,
01:47:30.780 rejects racism, xenophobia, violence, and intolerance. HBO hate has no home here. We
01:47:36.260 condemn racism, xenophobia, and all of its forms, including the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes in
01:47:41.460 recent weeks since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Nickelodeon, so our kids can do this. We stand
01:47:48.520 united against racism, hatred, violence, the recent rise of attacks against Asian American and Pacific
01:47:53.500 Islanders. Disney has a whole paragraph on it. Disney Plus has another one. Yeah. I mean, I don't
01:48:01.240 know. I mean, I haven't heard from all of the companies, but it seems like there is a problem,
01:48:06.980 Stu, with what I gather is white rednecks hating Asians and just beating them up. Well, I'm
01:48:16.280 particularly concerned about HBO Plus, or excuse me, Disney Plus, because if someone compares Asian
01:48:24.200 American hate to the concentration camps, will they be forced to fire themselves? We don't know. We don't
01:48:31.780 know the answer to that. We don't know. We'll get into it, I'm sure. We don't know. Really soon. Also,
01:48:35.740 if you didn't see the company statements, you may have heard this from actress Olivia Munn, who went
01:48:41.600 viral with her passionate statement about Asian American intolerance. Listen. We've been going
01:48:48.220 through so much in our community and going through this over the last year, you know, the astronomical
01:48:56.000 spike in hate crimes against Asian Americans. Astronomical. And actually Asians and all,
01:49:01.780 communities where we're marginalized. You know, I have friends in London tell me about that.
01:49:05.820 Gemma Chan speaks about that, that it's happening in London as well. And, you know, we,
01:49:11.520 we go through all of these struggles and hate crimes and just, there's so much pain and it feels
01:49:21.580 like we haven't been seen. This is legitimately shocking to me. I will say, I had no idea Olivia Munn
01:49:27.540 was Asian. I had no idea either. I just saw her as beautiful. Yes. I just said, no, I didn't know
01:49:32.560 that, but that's, that's an interesting, shocking. Why is this happening? Why all of a sudden is every
01:49:38.400 company on the planet? I think McDonald's came out yesterday with another statement. Why are they
01:49:42.800 doing this? What, what is going on? Well, it was so popular when they did it with stop the hatred
01:49:46.800 towards Jews. Oh no, they don't seem to. Wait, no, they didn't do that. No. That's weird. We'll have
01:49:52.740 to ask Andrew Cuomo about how that's working. Yeah. So mainly the information comes from Russell
01:49:59.340 Jung. He is the chair of the Asian American Studies Department at the San Francisco State
01:50:03.600 University. He created a tool which basically allows people to message the organization and tell
01:50:11.040 them about the hate crime they were a victim of. So if you're walking down the street, someone spits
01:50:17.500 on you, someone says any anti-Asian slur beats you up because you're Asian. You go to the website and
01:50:23.260 you report it to stop AAPI hate. And then I, you know, the media basically parrots whatever.
01:50:30.460 So let's say you were walking in an alley in Chicago and you were just going to the store. You had gotten
01:50:36.620 home and you were alone and there was one place in the alley where the camera wasn't pointed to.
01:50:42.880 Oh no. And you were jumped by a bunch of guys who the cameras never picked up. Sure. Sure. And they
01:50:48.920 put a noose around your neck. Okay. You could just call and report that. Do you have a Subway sandwich?
01:50:54.820 Well, I did. Okay. I never dropped my Subway sandwich in the whole time. You could report that. I could
01:50:59.460 report it. It is an important detail here that this is a self-reporting website. Okay. Not a measure of
01:51:05.760 criminal statistics by the FBI. That doesn't mean it's not happening. No. Yeah. No. And actually
01:51:11.300 some of it is happening. Like we had, there's been videos that have been circulating. Horrible
01:51:14.140 videos. Do we have the video of the guy getting pushed out to the ground? I mean, these hate this.
01:51:18.260 I mean, this guy just elderly guy just gets hammered as, as for no reason from behind from
01:51:25.100 this random guy. There's another guy. I saw another one where a guy's in a Subway. He does exactly
01:51:30.220 the same thing. Yeah. The Biden administration put out a big statement about this, but can we think
01:51:35.080 about what's being alleged here for a second? This is what stuck me, initially got me going
01:51:39.700 on this. We're basically told that the coronavirus, you know, starts in China and that apparently
01:51:46.920 begins a simmering hatred among evil Americans on the other side of the globe. Then Donald
01:51:53.540 Trump starts using the term China virus. Now the mainstream media also used it for months,
01:52:00.140 but it was only effective apparently to these racists when Donald Trump started saying the
01:52:05.540 China virus. So he started saying the China virus and that inspires these people. And
01:52:11.980 then after sitting around and sort of pseudo quarantine for like a year, they one day decide,
01:52:18.260 you know, this is the day I'm going to go out and just start beating up Asian people. Well,
01:52:22.980 because I I'm mad about the virus that started in another country and flew. See, this is what
01:52:31.680 happened. It was stuff like this that has created this. I mean, I look, I don't have a high
01:52:40.040 expectation of America, of the American people at times. I could get a little cynical as you may
01:52:44.920 know, Glenn. Yeah. But are people, have you ever met a single person who would be so dumb that they
01:52:52.900 would go beat up an Asian American person because of virus started in China? Now I'm not saying
01:52:59.360 none of them exist. Let me tell you this. I have met people so dumb fill in the blank blank. I've
01:53:07.020 met a lot of them. Okay. But you have to change that with so hateful, so dumb and so hateful that
01:53:16.120 they think that that guy who's Asian is somehow or another responsible for what happened in China.
01:53:22.780 Right. You know, that's not logical. That's a that's a combination that I think is probably
01:53:27.500 pretty rare there. You know, they don't run the Chinese government. The guy you see walking down
01:53:33.500 the street who happens to be Asian does not run the Chinese government. There's a much better chance
01:53:38.280 he's actually escaping the Chinese government to come here. So let me ask you a question,
01:53:42.820 because they're making this sound like it's a Trump supporter thing, a white supremacist thing.
01:53:47.800 Yeah. And the they keep saying how it's happening happening in Berkeley. And I I'm not sure there's
01:53:56.340 a lot of MAGA supporters. Yeah, not not a hotbed. Yeah. You know, the fact the video we just showed
01:54:02.840 is actually from Oakland. Now, first thing you need to know about this video is that this is a quote
01:54:09.200 from the report. The suspect in the Oakland assault, Yahya Muslim.
01:54:15.160 Hmm. His name is Yahya Muslim.
01:54:18.740 OK, he was charged with three counts of assault, including great bodily injury, committing a crime
01:54:22.900 against an elderly person. I mean, nothing. So wait, that's not the guy. That's not the guy
01:54:27.180 who was down on the ground. No, the guy who pushed him and charged with the crime was named Yahya Muslim.
01:54:32.920 And there's nothing that screams white supremacist more than a guy named Yahya Muslim.
01:54:37.780 Muslim. Yeah. You know, I will say, can we please stop blaming the Muslims for everything?
01:54:44.080 The whole Muslim family. Yahya, Jermaine, Tito. All of them. All of them. None of the Muslims
01:54:49.980 did this. Stop it. So you're in there. This is in Oakland. OK, now Donald Trump, it got a lot
01:54:57.640 of people to vote for him. Can I go? But not in Oakland. Can we blame Pippa?
01:55:02.260 We can't bet Pippa Muslim. OK. She's probably guilty. That's OK. All right. So Trump lost in
01:55:09.860 Oakland 82 to 16. Right. This is not a hot spot of Donald Trump voters. Well, that's because they
01:55:17.500 were all. I mean, he had the real number was 156 to 86. Oh, really? And they were all stolen.
01:55:26.140 Oh, OK. Because there's a lot of conservatives there in Oakland. Tons of conservatives in
01:55:31.180 Oakland. A lot of them. Some of these reports on Asian-American violence have talked about
01:55:36.500 a ninefold increase in the entire Asian hate in New York City. Yes, you've seen that. So
01:55:42.840 again, New York City, not exactly a MAGA hotspot. He lost by more than 50 points in New York City.
01:55:50.920 OK. Huh. But the ninefold interest increase appears to be true. However, the raw numbers
01:55:58.040 are it went from three incidents in 2019 to 28 incidents in 2020. That's 28 too many. It's 28
01:56:08.020 too many. 100% correct. And it is an increase and it's notable. However, it's 28 incidents in
01:56:14.520 a city of 10 million people. So is that just Manhattan? That's well, no, it's the it's New York
01:56:20.680 City proper, I believe. So it's like 8.4 million, I believe, is the population. The metro. The
01:56:27.760 metro is even bigger. Yeah, it's like 17 million. Now, to in the first two months of 2021, there
01:56:33.380 were precisely zero incidents of this. So is this an increasing trend? What about other
01:56:39.980 cities? Right. This is the thing. There was 18 incidents in Oakland, but the law enforcement
01:56:44.900 there says there are no there's no evidence whatsoever that any of them were racially
01:56:50.280 motivated in any way. In San Francisco, there were six hate crimes against Asians in 2019 and
01:56:56.960 nine in 2020. Slight increase, but I don't know that this is an epidemic level. In Washington,
01:57:02.520 D.C., the opposite happened. There were six incidents in 2019 and one in 2020. There is a
01:57:10.420 lot of issues here, and a lot of it goes back to the self-reporting data. This is from NBC
01:57:15.240 News. Some outlets have also reported almost 3,000 hate crimes during the pandemic. The
01:57:20.140 reporting form Stop AAPI Hate, which is at the center of almost all of us. They collected
01:57:24.940 2,800 reports of hate incidents nationwide over five months last year, but the incidents weren't
01:57:30.300 necessarily hate crimes. They included less severe yet insidious forms of discrimination,
01:57:35.120 including shunning, verbal harassment, and name-calling. Now, I am 100% anti-shunning,
01:57:44.940 Glenn. You should not shun Asians in any way. No shunning. Stop the shunning. If they're
01:57:51.580 conservatives, they should be shunned and canceled. Okay, yes. Asian conservatives should be wildly
01:57:56.940 shunned. If they're Uyghurs, we should shun them. Shun away. Shun them, yeah. Double shun if you need
01:58:02.560 to. Right. But not Democratic Asians. Never shun them. Okay, so we agree that Asian Americans
01:58:10.680 shouldn't be shunned. Yeah. Right? Yes. We got that. Yes. You know, and this is just not just
01:58:18.140 conservatives, by the way. New York Times also went into this. They say that the Stop AAPI Hate,
01:58:24.220 which started after the coronavirus began, is saying there's an increase, but they can't compare
01:58:30.940 it to the previous year because the organization didn't exist. So they went from zero to 2,800
01:58:38.000 incidents because there was zero. Right. Because there was zero. The organization didn't exist.
01:58:45.300 Also, there's a lot of people, and we noticed it with the Yahya Muslim family,
01:58:50.260 that happen to be African Americans. The New York Times even asks this. How does this explain attacks
01:58:56.300 by black people? Were they also acting as Mr. Trump's white supremacist henchmen? Do we really
01:59:02.060 believe that there is some coordinated plan by black people to brutalize Asian Americans?
01:59:07.400 This is not me asking this. This is in the New York Times. So the bottom line is this is a
01:59:12.780 self-reporting situation, and it seems to be. We're not going to hear about this when the FBI
01:59:19.760 released the actual crime statistics in 18 months, and we show basically a flat line. That's not going to be
01:59:25.920 a story. It's going to be a story until then, but you should at least know the truth. Well, you
01:59:29.320 shouldn't shun anyone. No, you shouldn't. You shouldn't be shunning anyone for really any reason
01:59:35.200 other than, I mean, racism is so, it bothers me. It really bothers me because it's so lazy.
01:59:44.300 Get to know somebody and then hate them. Just don't hate them based on their skin color. That's just lazy.
01:59:52.160 All right, Michael Burry. You know the name. I know Stu is a big fan of the movie, The Big Short.
02:00:01.940 If you haven't seen it, you should. It's about how the largest U.S. financial institutions were,
02:00:07.920 have been, still are screwing the average retail American investor. Kind of like GameStop. You
02:00:14.760 notice that? Wow. As soon as you started getting ahead, the system came down on you and allows them
02:00:20.840 to get away with whatever they're doing. They're taking enormous risks with your money. You're busy
02:00:27.880 buying GameStop stock and whatnot and then getting shut down if it works out. Dr. Burry hasn't gone
02:00:35.760 away. He's now talking about a real Weimar Republic style hyperinflation of the U.S. currency system
02:00:41.960 based on the gazillions of dollars that we are printing. I'd love to get him on the show. We should
02:00:47.780 get him on. Bottom line, it's time to hedge against all that inflation. The dollar will become worthless
02:00:54.440 at some point. And I think, I mean, I just don't know. I don't know the time. I just know it's going
02:00:59.960 to happen. Call Goldline now. They have a great special going on with every tube of certified gold
