Rough Greens is the new ibuprofen for your dog and it is the best thing you can do for your body and your mind. It s all natural and it will make you feel better. Glenn Beck explains why you should try it.
00:04:02.300And once again, it is my dear sweet wife that actually convinced me to take relief factor because she was tired of hearing me whine about stuff.
00:07:34.940We want, the United States wants to launch and have a sovereign cryptocurrency at a global scale as well.
00:07:44.040And it, too, will provide complete control.
00:07:49.020They've been working on a digital currency, and it's no secret.
00:07:53.560I just don't know that people really, really realize how close the Fed is to actually launching its first formal cryptocurrency.
00:08:02.040It should be in its beta stage by the second half of 2021 or early 2022.
00:08:09.960Now, China's already launched their digital currency.
00:08:14.520However, the U.S. Federal Reserve, slow out of the blocks, is slated to launch four new digital dollar projects in the second half of this year,
00:08:25.560with major announcements about those pilots expected probably next month.
00:08:32.040In February of this year, the Fed quietly published a white paper on the website effectively detailing how the central bank and U.S. Treasury might issue sovereign cryptocurrency.
00:08:44.060It's a cryptic roadmap, and knowing what we know about previous currency transitions in the U.S.,
00:08:51.740we can speculate at some of the effects of this, and an educated guess.
00:08:59.000Now, they're looking at something called the Fed coin.
00:20:15.160We have Senator Tom Cotton on in just a minute.
00:20:20.040We're going to try to talk to him about several things.
00:20:22.260First of all, the Senate blocked the election power grab, which is probably, I think, one of the biggest pieces of good news we've had to report for a while.
00:20:36.420This would have taken over all of our local elections.
00:20:42.860It would have federalized all of the elections.
00:20:45.060It would have told us what machines to use, how to do it, establish same-day voter registration, register minors to vote, mandate early voting, mandate nationwide, vote by mail without voter ID, and allow ballots to be counted 10 days after the election.
00:21:08.540Yeah, that sounds really, that sounds really, really good.
00:21:27.000And I don't know if you saw this, Stu, in Iowa, Joe Biden's ratings have gone down quite a bit, almost 10 points.
00:21:38.100He is losing support of his policies and the way he is conducting business is losing support of the average American, at least in Iowa, which is a bellwether.
00:21:52.360Well, you hate to see that, Glenn, and that's just, wow, it's devastating news.
00:21:57.440You've really ruined my day by telling me about that.
00:22:00.900Also, I'm sure he'll be able to turn it around with his big speech on gun violence later on today.
00:22:05.960That should really endear him to, I think, the middle of the country who really is going to respond well to, you know, just an attack on the Second Amendment.
00:22:16.180I think that's going to go really well.
00:22:17.300I mean, it's just a relentless, relentless attack, but people are standing up later on in today's program.
00:22:27.360I'm going to show you some of the people that are standing up at the school board, and it is getting, yeah, I mean, people are not taking CRT sitting down in the control of our schools.
00:22:40.580You mess with our children, you're in trouble, and the woke are starting to wake up to that.
00:23:37.580And then because we waited, we said, you know what, we're going to wait until we get home to decide, we decided that was a really bad idea.
00:23:47.080If you got caught up in it, a lot of people have.
00:52:43.820A big conglomerate of people who raise the cattle.
00:52:48.680Second of all, gosh, you know, the world's largest meat supplier, JBS, has announced their intention of expanding their role in lab-cultured meat.
00:53:04.480But they are spending millions and millions and millions of dollars.
00:53:09.800Each one of these meat processing companies are doing the same.
00:53:14.940They are the ones behind the Impossible Burger.
00:53:18.100They're the ones behind the fake vegetable meat, which is fine.
00:57:23.860Now, as we're talking about the price of beef, you know what it's like to throw a rack of ribs on the grill and just have them come out perfectly?
00:58:01.660Rec tech will make sure that everything that comes out of your grill, your smoker, comes out perfectly because it adjusts the cooking process from start to finish.
00:58:13.860It is a smart grill technology, so you put it in, and it tells you when it's ready, what you need to do.
01:04:56.260You also have a really great source of uncensored information that you can trust.
01:05:01.700Newsletters, videos, podcasts, fresh website content, a bi-monthly magazine, and you'll get all of the deals that you need if you're a mature American.
01:05:11.800So, join AMAC for the advocacy, the benefits, and the information.
01:06:34.620This book is a little bit longer than my last book, Reasons to Vote for Democrats, a comprehensive guide, which includes about four words.
01:06:40.880So the reason that I highlight the so-called free speech absolutists, because frankly, I don't think that necessarily you would fall into that category or that I would.
01:06:53.760I know that we use this rhetoric a lot these days, but I suspect what conservatives really want to conserve is the free speech tradition as it exists in America.
01:07:03.380The reason I pick on the free speech absolutists is I think that basically there is no such thing.
01:07:10.640There is no such society that permits all sorts of speech without any kinds of limits.
01:07:17.140Since the beginning of the United States, we have had whole swaths of speech that are off limits, notably fraud, obscenity, direct threats, that sort of thing.
01:07:27.480And one of the reasons for that is that that kind of speech undermines speech itself.
01:07:31.720Moreover, in classrooms, whether it's in high school or whether it's in college or these days, I guess, in elementary school, we do not permit just anything to be taught in the classroom.
01:07:41.480If you teach the two plus two equals five, you're probably not going to remain a teacher very long unless, again, you're working for a public school today.
01:08:16.820And I think what the left has done is that in the name of this free speech absolutism,
01:08:22.500what they've really done is just destroy all of the traditional standards and way of life that we cherish
01:08:27.540and impose their own woke, radical standards in their place.
01:08:31.260So I have a I have an issue here on when it comes to academia, the way it is supposed to be done is you the the true professor should be asking questions
01:08:51.020and pushing you into into thought that you may not have thought.
01:08:56.300So if everybody is thinking conventionally about something, you should be encouraged to look at the other side.
01:09:04.640That's that's why we have tenure is so they can push people into thinking differently and weighing them out.
01:09:13.600And you shouldn't know which side the professor is on one way or another.
01:09:17.360He should be able to present both sides.
01:10:03.420It only moves in one direction for the left.
01:10:06.560And so, yes, of course, we want to be able to think in a very sophisticated way about matters of history and literature and mathematics and all sorts of things.
01:10:19.440And unfortunately, what we're seeing today in our schools, notably through movements like critical race theory, is actually the undermining of our education.
01:10:29.860So sometimes you'll hear people say, look, we want to expand the curriculum and bring in more books and hear more ideas.
01:10:36.380But the fact is, you can't expand a curriculum.
01:10:39.440There are only so many weeks in the semester.
01:10:41.500There are only so many books that you can read.
01:10:43.560And most insidiously, what something like critical race theory does is it tells students that there is no such thing as objective truth or objective reality.
01:10:52.540So actually, if you teach students something like critical race theory, you are undermining their entire education, which relies on the existence of truth.
01:11:02.220So wait a minute, so isn't the problem, not the speech, the fact that we have untethered ourselves from from any kind of critical thinking and analysis, and then on top of it, silenced any speech that was speaking up against it?
01:11:26.800I mean, there's just no way around it.
01:11:28.120I don't think that anybody is going to go out and clamor for the ability to use the N-word in polite conversation and not be ostracized for that, not be, in a sense, censored by either polite society or by publications or by a school or a university.
01:11:50.040You know, the purpose of speech is to be able to persuade one another.
01:11:56.020The reason that speech is so important, especially to self-government, is that in a republic, speech is politics and politics is speech.
01:12:03.780Old Uncle Aristotle taught us that one.
01:12:05.920And so we want broad speech protections, of course.
01:12:09.940But we need to recognize that when we observe certain taboos, when we observe certain social conventions, that is just a fact of society.
01:12:18.400And I think what has changed is not so much that our speech is less free today or freer today.
01:12:25.120In many ways, Americans have much freer speech today than they would have in 1790 or 1800 under the Alien and Submission Act, for instance, or under other laws and social conventions.
01:12:37.080What's changed, I think, is the sort of standard.
01:12:40.320And to give the plainest example, I would say in the 1950s, you could be canceled for being a communist.
01:12:46.140And today, you can be canceled for not being a communist.
01:12:50.360That's a shift, and I don't think it's in the right direction.
01:13:03.140It took a lot longer than people think.
01:13:06.160You know, a friend of mine says the difference between a conservative optimist and a conservative pessimist is a conservative pessimist says things can't get any worse, and a conservative optimist says, oh, yes, they can.
01:13:16.240Well, I'm here to tell you, it's actually much worse than we think.
01:13:21.320This movement, which can be called political correctness or wokeness or cancel culture, it goes back beyond the 80s, beyond the 60s, about 100 years back.
01:13:32.020And there were really sophisticated leftist thinkers.
01:13:35.100I'm just thinking of people like Antonio Gramsci, Herbert Marcuse, the Frankfurt School, the radicals of the 60s and 70s.
01:13:44.680I fear that they actually understood free speech and its role in politics a little bit better than we on the right did.
01:13:52.560And I think that's why they've so effectively weaponized our language, tried to redefine reality by redefining all the terms, and have established what one of them called cultural hegemony.
01:14:04.300They've infiltrated so many of the institutions.
01:14:43.420You can talk any way you want to someone on the street.
01:14:46.280You can engage in all sorts of obscenity, things that are really alien to our political tradition.
01:14:50.820That one fails, too, because, of course, the traditional standards are still abandoned.
01:14:55.120I think the third option is conservatives need to be able to articulate a substantive moral vision of politics.
01:15:03.160And in a very basic way, to use an example, I think we need to be able to say no to things like drag queen story hour.
01:15:11.340I don't think that it is a violation of the First Amendment to say that we should not permit perverts to twerk for toddlers at the local library.
01:15:18.740The fear, of course, sometimes people say is, well, Michael, if you tell people that they can't have drag queen story hour, why?
01:15:25.340They might tell us we can't go to church.
01:15:27.200First of all, they're already telling us we can't go to church.
01:15:52.640I mean, if we are so out of control, then, you know, the founders even said it's it's this is wholly incompatible with a non-religious or moral people.
01:16:05.220We we have to be ruled by someone else.
01:16:09.260So are you seeing the the pushback from parents with CRT?
01:16:18.180We stand up and we say, no, we're not sitting down.
01:16:22.620We're not going to tolerate this anymore.
01:16:26.020These parents are probably the greatest hope we have at the moment in my book, Speechless.
01:16:33.400I cast a pretty tough diagnosis, not just on the left, but actually on the right as well.
01:16:39.720But the hope and there really is a gloomer of hope is that the radicals have not totally taken over the common sense.
01:16:48.420Gramsci and some of these earlier leftist theorists who foisted this thing upon us pointed out that revolutions cannot succeed if they do not have a hold on the common sense.
01:16:58.680You know, although all the oppressed masses that the leftists are always concerned about, the problem with them is they never seem to love the leftists theories.
01:17:06.280They like their own traditions, their own communities, their own countries.
01:17:09.400And I think you're seeing that pushback from people who still have a fair bit of common sense to them.
01:17:14.900I only wish that our ruling class would have half the common sense of the ordinary American people.
01:17:21.680Well, you have the common sense, but you also are being incentivized to just look the other way.
01:17:28.240I mean, you're being incentivized by being bullied, but you're also being incentivized, and they're doing it all throughout the administration.
01:17:37.840You're being incentivized to get school money if you'll just play the game.
01:17:43.240You'll get extra, you know, help with your business if you play the game.
01:17:47.780You're being incentivized and also threatened at the same time.
01:17:52.660And that, I don't know how that's going to work out, Michael.
01:17:56.560I mean, I hope that people realize, wait a minute, no, you'll have total control over me.
01:18:02.660But I'm not sure that common sense is going to win in self-preservation, a battle with that.
01:18:13.120And it's even beyond just the government.
01:18:16.220As Mitch McConnell pointed out about a month ago, a number of woke corporations who control our speech in the public square now, Google, Facebook, YouTube,
01:18:25.220these corporations are behaving in many ways like a parallel government.
01:18:29.580And they crossed the Rubicon six months ago.
01:18:32.020They censored the duly elected sitting president of the United States.
01:18:35.840Regardless of what you think about the election or anything that happened afterward, the man was still the president.
01:18:40.740And hipster Rasputin over there in Silicon Valley booted him off of his platform, as did the others.
01:18:46.100That should cause Americans to have a great fear for their ability to participate in their government.
01:18:53.460And it's very important for us to have a true liberty in this country.
01:18:57.560We need to recognize, just as you said, Glenn, the country was built for a moral and religious people.
01:19:03.460We need to understand that liberty and licentiousness are not the same thing.
01:19:35.840It involves cultivating virtue, tamping down those base passions, and being that kind of moral and religious people that John Adams told us we had to be.
01:19:45.000He wasn't being a scold or a Bible thumper.
01:19:47.620He was describing a simple fact of politics.
01:19:51.720Michael Knowles, the author of Speechless, a must-read book, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds.
01:20:00.640Michael, thank you so much for being on.
01:20:02.580I'd love to have you on for a podcast as well.
01:20:12.100Our sponsor this half hour is Patriot Mobile.
01:20:15.800This time of year, we celebrate our independence and the values that have made America great and prosperous.
01:20:21.480There is still more of us than of them, people that actually believe in these values.
01:20:27.500It's important more than ever to support the companies like Patriot Mobile who not only share our beliefs but stand behind them with action.
01:20:38.060Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless carrier, and they donate a portion of every single dollar they make to organizations that fight causes that you and I care for.
01:20:51.980They fight with us, not against us, like some others, like Verizon.
01:20:58.200Right now, they have two great offers to choose from.
01:21:00.620Either get 50% off your first two months or $100 off any phone.
01:21:05.560Both offers come with premium activation.
01:21:07.920Just go to patriotmobile.com slash back and get all of the details.
01:23:21.260All right, last hour of the broadcast, some good news, and then we're going to foreshadow the speech that the president is giving today on gun control.
01:23:34.740Well, not gun control, just, you know, basic common sense gun control.
01:23:51.260What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:26:14.740You can put in a couple of meals for your dog to see if they eat it because they don't want you to pay for something that you're going to buy a bag of, and then your dog's not going to like it.
01:26:23.380I think your dog's going to like it, but you can get a free bag right now.
01:28:33.220And one of the guys who spoke, now this is up in Bucks County in Pennsylvania, one guy who spoke to their school board, which was trying to silence people, again, not having open hearings, he addressed the school board.
01:29:35.540I'm quoting to you now from the United States Supreme Court 1964 case, New York Times v. Sullivan.
01:29:42.080This is constitutional case law in this country, and I'm quoting you from the U.S. Supreme Court.
01:29:48.220The judges wrote that this nation is founded on the, quote, profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues shall be uninhibited, robust, and wide open,
01:30:00.380and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.
01:30:08.580That's constitutional case law in this nation.
01:30:30.660If you edit this tape, then you're going to have a big legal problem on your hands,
01:30:34.940because my right to critique your fascism, which is what this is, is constitutionally protected.
01:30:41.320There are emails, public record emails, in which the Director of Equity is lobbying and advocating for public comment to be censored in this school district.
01:35:04.380At the same time, they're saying these are extremists, right-wing zealots, a.k.a. white supremacists, that are against critical race theory.
01:35:15.700And they're saying it over and over and over again.
01:35:18.500And it is becoming reality for a lot of people.
01:35:21.940That is why you must never, ever be seen being out of control.
01:35:29.120I don't think that guy was out of control because he had his facts in hand and he knew exactly what he wanted to say and he said it.
01:35:39.280He said it forcefully, but he said it.
01:35:43.680But we can't ever look out of control because that's what they're doing.
01:35:49.020They're smearing us, just like that 1943 pamphlet said.
01:37:47.080And I went back and I was reading it, and it just, I knew I was supposed to tell you this today.
01:37:54.120Unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God, because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
01:38:13.400For you see your calling, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are being called.
01:38:26.940But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise.
01:38:32.080God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.
01:41:11.280They're America's butcher and they are committed to making that happen for you every night.
01:41:15.840Right now for $99.99, just under a hundred bucks, you're going to get 28 of Omaha Steaks' favorite entrees, including eight free filet mignon burgers.
01:42:00.740You're going to get four bacon-wrapped filets, four premium boneless chicken breasts, really good desserts, plus free eight filet mignon burgers on top of everything else.
01:42:13.760So go to OmahaSteaks.com, use the keyword BECK, and look for their summer grill pack.
01:42:45.980So, you know, what's really incredible is Loudoun County and how the sheriff's office declared the school board meeting an unlawful assembly and told everybody to get out.
01:43:00.840Otherwise, they would be arrested for trespassing.
01:43:04.220And two arrests were made at the Loudoun County, Virginia school board meeting because it was an unlawful assembly.
01:43:16.640First of all, the parents were there to protest against critical race theory and a new transgender policy that is having kids, boys that now claim to be girls, into the girls' bathroom.
01:44:28.540This is why the people showed up en masse.
01:44:33.320And these ivory tower people, you just better be careful with what you're playing with.
01:44:42.440Because if you want a job, you're going to lose your job.
01:44:47.820I hope and pray the good people of Loudoun County come to their senses and listen to the voices of the people that are saying enough is enough.
01:45:22.600We live now in a society where a person can be reasonably expected to turn his neighbor in if that person shows some signs of being too radical.
01:45:31.820If the sound of that doesn't echo off some of the scariest walls in history, I don't know what will.
01:45:37.720The ship of this nation is being captained through dark and choppy waters by a man who wakes up in the morning just to figure out who he is before he has breakfast.
01:45:49.840And then he looks at the Obama radicals around him and says, what are we doing today?
01:45:54.400You see the cliff and the direction the car is heading.
01:46:54.660And now the word Invermectin is trending.
01:46:59.480We have a guy who has been writing and taking the hits and being banned from social media for saying that word, Invermectin, Daniel Horowitz.
01:47:25.860No, I actually wrote an article on the censorship of Invermectin, and it was censored from Facebook.
01:47:32.740And look, I mean, the people that are running Facebook's fact check operation are funded by those that are producing the vaccines.
01:47:40.580And I think we all know the problem is not just statutorily that if you have other treatments, you can't pursue an experimental emergency use authorization, but also it takes away from their market share and their ability to control people.
01:47:54.000So, you know, Glenn, this is not just about Ivermectin.
01:47:56.980This is about any early, cheap, proven treatment.
01:48:03.420You are not allowed to treat COVID with something less than $1,000 a dose.
01:48:08.940And this is a very big problem because commensurate with your belief on how serious this virus is, is your culpability in squelching our ability to actually treat this.
01:48:21.540So I understand, you know, why we, you know, in the first few weeks, we didn't know what we were dealing with.
01:48:29.000And so, you know, we, we locked down, and I think that was right, et cetera, et cetera, at the beginning, until we had a handle on what was going on to see if it was as deadly as all these people were saying.
01:48:56.380These are hydroxychloroquine over-the-counter treatment in many countries and has been in use forever and doesn't have any adverse effects,
01:49:07.600unless you take it in doses that no one would have been taking them in.
01:49:12.980And we were told you can't even do it, and we were shut down.
01:49:17.540You're saying this is all because of the money of the medical community and the money they were going to make?
01:49:30.340Obviously, if people no longer fear the virus, meaning that they believe that there is a non-invasive, you know, not like the monoclonal antibodies,
01:49:38.800you've got to go to the hospital or someplace, but something that you could take even prophylaxis, you could take preemptively, first sign of trouble, and it works,
01:49:48.000they'll no longer fear it like they no longer fear the flu or a cold or a headache.
01:49:52.820The minute people fear it, they're willing to go along with the masks, the lockdowns, and certainly they're going to go along with the vaccines without questioning it.
