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
00:23:11.440
this for? Uh, they're not going to last forever, especially if they're on videotape and pictures
00:23:16.820
fade well, legacy boxes here with a simple mail-in service that will digitally preserve all of your
00:23:26.100
memories on a thumb drive, a DVD or the cloud. You have a ton of old memories. I have, I have a

huge box of just tapes of me at, you know, 16 years old on the radio that I'm just, I don't know if I
00:23:41.960
can, I can trust legacy box to not take those and embarrass me. So I think that's where they're

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
00:36:35.700
how cyber crime and identity theft are affecting your life. Each and every one of us put all of our junk out

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
00:45:14.440
stadiums. Those are the hustler turf mowers. Now they're available for you. Go out and test
00:45:20.340
drive one. Check out hustlerturf.com. Find a dealer near you. Hustlerturf.com.
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

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
01:38:57.420

year of timeshare that you're just not going to use. You'll get 20% off when you terminate your
01:39:08.440
timeshare. So make sure you tell them that I sent you and you're going to get that 20% off when you

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.

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
