00:01:03.260 keep going, don't you?
00:01:03.980 keeps going
00:01:06.160 We'll be right back.
00:01:36.160 We'll be right back.
00:02:06.160 We'll be right back.
00:02:37.160 This can happen here.
00:02:39.020 This is a serious op-ed from the New York Times.
00:02:46.120 It is written by a fourth grader.
00:02:49.680 I'll give you the latest in 60 seconds.
00:02:52.380 Susan wrote, Glenn, my husband and Charlie, the Bee Man, are professional commercial beekeepers.
00:03:02.240 Me and my husband, the Bee Man does all the heavy lifting and works 12 hours a day during pollination season while I do all the honey and beeswax extraction.
00:03:10.660 I ordered Relief Factor because it helps the Bee Man with his back and hip during all the hard work.
00:03:18.000 His pain is so much more tolerable now than it was before.
00:03:21.680 I wonder if it helps, you know, with inflammation from thousands of bee stings.
00:03:28.820 I'm just I don't know for sure what his pain is.
00:03:32.600 But Relief Factor apparently, according to his wife, Susan, has helped a great deal.
00:03:38.360 Three week quick start developed just for you.
00:03:40.640 $19.95.
00:03:41.720 It's a dollar a day like a trial pack.
00:03:43.900 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor and 70 percent of them go on to order more.
00:03:49.120 That says a ton.
00:03:51.620 It's Relief Factor.
00:03:52.680 Relief Factor dot com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF or Relief Factor dot com.
00:04:00.100 Feel the difference.
00:04:02.460 Imagine that every state were free to choose whether to allow black people and white people to marry.
00:04:10.520 Some states would permit such marriages.
00:04:13.760 Others probably wouldn't.
00:04:16.420 It seems unthinkable as a scenario in 2022.
00:04:21.280 That's because in 1967, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that barring international,
00:04:28.260 barring interracial marriage, as 16 states still did, violates the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection.
00:04:38.720 Under the Constitution, the freedom to marry or not marry,
00:04:41.800 A person or another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the state,
00:04:47.740 said the court.
00:04:49.940 More than half a century on, this court case is considered one of the court's great rulings.
00:04:56.960 And yet, it was not universally admired at the time.
00:05:02.040 Southern states complied only grudgingly.
00:05:05.520 Alabama didn't repeal its ban on international marriage or interracial marriage until the year 2000.
00:05:14.100 That's the point of having a federal constitution, says the New York Times op-ed.
00:05:19.740 It is supreme.
00:05:22.460 The guarantees and rights in that document apply to all Americans equally whether or not they live in the South or the North,
00:05:30.040 no matter where they live, the court system and the Supreme Court in particular,
00:05:35.300 exist to protect those rights when state and local authorities refuse to.
00:05:42.320 Leaving the matter to individual states and political process means that millions of Americans will be denied their fundamental rights.
00:05:49.820 In this case, the right of a woman to decide what happens inside her own body.
00:05:55.140 I mean, unless it's, you know, a vaccine.
00:05:57.440 The draft opinion relies heavily on the lack of mention of abortion in the Constitution,
00:06:05.180 therefore argues that the document cannot be the basis for the right to terminate a pregnancy.
00:06:11.880 The Constitution also says nothing about, here comes the fourth grader,
00:06:15.820 the Constitution also says nothing about interracial marriage.
00:06:19.300 That didn't prevent the judges from finding in the 14th Amendment
00:06:23.300 the guarantee that no couple may be treated differently because of the color of their skin.
00:06:30.980 Because that's specifically what the 14th Amendment is talking about.
00:06:35.960 It's specifically talking about you can't take somebody that lives here in America
00:06:42.900 and treat them differently because of the color of their skin.
00:06:47.800 Because they are different in some way.
00:06:53.700 Now, if the left, I suppose, were arguing that men could have abortions as well,
00:07:00.240 then maybe.
00:07:02.300 But see, this is missing the point entirely.
00:07:05.600 The point is,
00:07:07.520 in the Constitution,
00:07:08.580 it doesn't say you can kill babies that you claim are a lump of cells.
00:07:17.340 There is nothing,
00:07:18.280 there are no right,
00:07:19.120 you know how many,
00:07:19.760 do you know how many things
00:07:21.540 the Constitution actually allows the federal government to do?
00:07:27.800 What are the,
00:07:28.720 what are the number of things that the government is allowed to do,
00:07:32.980 the federal government allowed to do,
00:07:34.880 according to the Constitution?
00:07:36.600 What's that number?
00:07:37.540 I don't know the number,
00:07:38.520 but there's very few of them.
00:07:39.700 I mean,
00:07:40.360 the,
00:07:40.780 the common defense,
00:07:42.060 you have the courts,
00:07:44.360 you have the post office.
00:07:46.860 I mean,
00:07:47.720 you have 17 things in the Constitution.
00:07:50.980 Only 17.
00:07:51.880 How many millions are they doing right now?
00:07:54.940 Oh,
00:07:55.180 and to point out,
00:07:57.120 not only is gay marriage and interracial marriage,
00:08:00.780 not,
00:08:01.080 not there,
00:08:02.120 neither is marriage marriage.
00:08:03.820 Like the,
00:08:04.420 the old school,
00:08:05.260 that's not,
00:08:05.620 it's a state issue.
00:08:07.120 It's not a federal issue to this day.
00:08:09.640 It's not a federal issue.
00:08:10.980 And by the way,
00:08:11.860 marriage,
00:08:12.300 marriage wasn't an issue at all.
00:08:14.740 That,
00:08:15.080 that was a church and human to human thing.
00:08:17.980 Shouldn't be a government issue at all.
00:08:19.360 Should be that,
00:08:20.780 that all started because of the progressives.
00:08:23.600 Interracial marriage banned because of the progressives.
00:08:27.720 I would say that Planned Parenthood had a lot to do with that.
00:08:31.560 I just want to point that out here.
00:08:32.900 Yeah.
00:08:33.160 And we should point out that,
00:08:33.940 you know,
00:08:34.120 the guy,
00:08:34.920 the guy,
00:08:35.220 I don't know if he,
00:08:35.740 this president freed the slaves.
00:08:37.720 Remember this guy?
00:08:38.540 He had a big hat.
00:08:39.760 Now,
00:08:39.920 he's tall.
00:08:40.680 I don't know.
00:08:41.140 Kind of a weird looking dude.
00:08:42.480 Got married.
00:08:43.480 Yakov Smirnoff with the big furry hat.
00:08:45.460 I don't think it was Smirnoff.
00:08:46.520 It was another one,
00:08:47.200 another one of our past presidents.
00:08:48.580 All right.
00:08:48.740 He got married without a marriage license.
00:08:51.820 That's weird.
00:08:52.320 So did George Washington.
00:08:53.300 So did George Washington because that was not the way they thought about it at all.
00:08:56.820 In short,
00:08:57.320 constitutional rights are meaningless unless they apply across the entire country.
00:09:02.400 Let me rephrase that for the New York Times and the fourth grader that wrote this.
00:09:06.180 In short,
00:09:06.840 constitutional rights are meaningless unless they apply to all people.
00:09:12.160 All people.
00:09:13.120 Now,
00:09:13.900 our argument here in the state would be that that clump of cells doesn't suddenly turn into a tumor.
00:09:25.280 It always turns into a human being.
00:09:30.620 You have a right to life.
00:09:34.040 No one is allowed to take that life from you unless you've done something and you've been tried in a court of law.
00:09:43.120 No innocent life is supposed to go away because the government says.
00:09:48.800 So that's the extremist point of view.
00:09:53.380 But the Constitution is there to say these are a few of the rights that come from God.
00:10:03.800 So they come from,
00:10:04.940 you don't have,
00:10:05.360 you could say it's a higher power.
00:10:06.940 You could say it's the stars.
00:10:09.180 It's stardust.
00:10:10.480 The things that make us.
00:10:12.840 Whatever it is.
00:10:15.560 Rights come from them.
00:10:18.820 You know,
00:10:19.400 the trees,
00:10:19.940 the forests.
00:10:20.800 I'm speaking right directly to the progressive left.
00:10:24.120 The forest gives us our rights.
00:10:27.940 And no one can change them.
00:10:30.160 And no one can just issue rights.
00:10:32.880 That's really important because that's what the government wants you to believe.
00:10:38.780 That the government can give you rights.
00:10:41.760 The Supreme Court is not taking away abortion rights.
00:10:46.800 The Supreme Court is saying it's up to the people in the state.
00:10:50.960 The federal government can't do anything about it.
00:10:54.300 Because it's not their job.
00:11:00.760 When it comes to something like this,
00:11:02.620 it has to be decided by the people.
00:11:05.560 This is the least dictatorial ruling I have seen in I don't know how long.
00:11:11.800 All right.
00:11:15.720 So what's happening?
00:11:18.280 Well,
00:11:18.780 Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel,
00:11:21.720 very upset,
00:11:23.400 very,
00:11:24.220 very upset
00:11:25.240 because the Supreme Court is overturning Roe versus Wade.
00:11:29.280 And she said,
00:11:30.080 I am not to have.
00:11:31.960 I am not going to enforce any laws that say I have to break into a doctor's office and stop abortion.
00:11:43.280 I just won't do it.
00:11:45.320 Again,
00:11:46.480 that's not what the Supreme Court said.
00:11:50.180 It's your state laws.
00:11:52.680 Well,
00:11:53.080 Michigan has a law in the books from 1931.
00:11:59.280 By the way,
00:12:01.440 the height of the progressive era.
00:12:03.840 You really hung on that H in height for some reason.
00:12:07.160 That seemed to.
00:12:09.260 It criminalized abortion with,
00:12:13.880 she says,
00:12:15.140 with no exceptions.
00:12:18.800 I mean,
00:12:19.720 except for the exception,
00:12:20.960 exception for rape and incest.
00:12:23.000 But other than that,
00:12:24.460 no exceptions.
00:12:26.520 Okay.
00:12:27.120 Well,
00:12:27.520 if you don't like it,
00:12:28.640 I think the Democrats control Michigan.
00:12:33.240 I think actually the mob does,
00:12:35.780 but the Democrats control Michigan.
00:12:38.980 You'll have a very pro-choice governor.
00:12:41.560 Change the law.
00:12:43.180 You can't go off as the attorney general.
00:12:46.800 I know George Soros is telling you differently,
00:12:49.060 but you can't just say as the chief law enforcement officer in your state,
00:12:57.120 you can't say,
00:13:00.020 nah,
00:13:00.280 we're not going to pay attention to that law.
00:13:02.620 What you do is you change your law.
00:13:05.720 This is not a federal law.
00:13:07.080 This is in your state.
00:13:08.780 Ask the voters.
00:13:10.080 It really,
00:13:11.800 it really amazes me how stupid people really are.
00:13:18.220 She knows better than this.
00:13:21.500 All these people,
00:13:23.180 New York times,
00:13:23.960 they know better than that.
00:13:24.880 That's a fourth.
00:13:25.780 It is honestly a fourth grade opinion.
00:13:28.220 It really is.
00:13:29.380 It shows you have no understanding how this system works at all.
00:13:33.240 But then again,
00:13:34.260 why should people,
00:13:36.140 why should people be smart when they're spoon fed everything they're supposed to
00:13:40.800 believe?
00:13:41.140 And then told you must believe it.
00:13:43.820 CNN reported on Friday that the leak of the Supreme court draft opinion,
00:13:47.880 uh,
00:13:49.380 probably a right-wing political,
00:13:51.720 uh,
00:13:53.300 leak.
00:13:53.720 And it's going to lead to right-wing political violence.
00:13:58.260 What?
00:13:59.920 What are they even talking about?
00:14:03.300 CNN has learned the U S Capitol police are bracing for large demonstrations that are being
00:14:07.800 organized by far right groups to protest abortion rights.
00:14:12.460 What far right groups?
00:14:14.280 What?
00:14:15.000 I mean,
00:14:15.360 you always say far right groups,
00:14:17.220 which is wrong.
00:14:17.900 Far right groups are Nazis.
00:14:19.560 Nazis love abortions.
00:14:20.880 They were killing children in the millions.
00:14:24.360 What are you,
00:14:24.680 what are you talking about?
00:14:26.240 The Nazis are upset about killing children.
00:14:29.400 They love it.
00:14:32.420 The recently installed non-scalable fencing outside the court building was visible.
00:14:38.000 Uh,
00:14:38.400 as CNN reported,
00:14:39.720 several members of law enforcement have expressed concerns that people who are committed to committing
00:14:44.580 act of violent extremism could use Roe versus Wade opinion for a justification of that.
00:14:49.700 Yeah.
00:14:50.560 Where did they say that it was going,
00:14:52.680 that it was going to be the,
00:14:55.180 the,
00:14:55.620 the vast right wing.
00:14:57.980 Where are they saying that?
00:15:00.480 CNN did say,
00:15:02.080 I should caution.
00:15:03.100 There are no specific credible threats.
00:15:07.020 Oh,
00:15:08.180 okay.
00:15:09.440 Okay.
00:15:10.220 All right.
00:15:11.060 I get it.
00:15:12.120 Sure.
00:15:13.060 Sure.
00:15:13.440 Now,
00:15:15.120 um,
00:15:16.040 a lot of people have been saying these things about the,
00:15:19.700 uh,
00:15:20.560 the right,
00:15:21.760 um,
00:15:22.260 while they put up the fence,
00:15:23.680 I was shocked,
00:15:25.640 shocked to see the progressive left calling to burn the Supreme court and the country down.
00:15:33.440 I don't know about anybody else.
00:15:35.940 You know,
00:15:36.780 those,
00:15:37.220 those pro-life conservatives were really upset.
00:15:40.660 Oh man,
00:15:41.780 they had some heated arguments around the dinner table yesterday.
00:15:45.380 Yeah,
00:15:45.940 they did.
00:15:47.400 Meanwhile,
00:15:48.320 uh,
00:15:48.620 the acts of violence or illegal activity,
00:15:50.820 uh,
00:15:51.940 seems to be things like a Catholic church burned in Boulder,
00:15:55.860 Colorado.
00:15:56.600 Uh,
00:15:57.200 it was vandalized.
00:15:58.360 I saw,
00:15:58.760 I shouldn't say,
00:16:00.000 I shouldn't say burned or,
00:16:01.620 or broken into or terrorist activity.
00:16:03.940 This is vandalized vandalist,
00:16:07.960 uh,
00:16:08.400 uh,
00:16:08.900 uh,
00:16:09.320 vandals vandals did this.
00:16:11.320 Now that was the vandalism mostly peaceful.
00:16:13.640 It was mostly peaceful.
00:16:14.780 Um,
00:16:15.340 but it was mostly also anti-religious and,
00:16:18.460 uh,
00:16:19.240 and it was,
00:16:20.020 um,
00:16:20.640 you know,
00:16:20.960 pro-choice.
00:16:21.760 So,
00:16:22.320 but it was,
00:16:23.020 but a peaceful sort of fire starting,
00:16:25.300 uh,
00:16:26.200 bomb throwing,
00:16:27.420 you know,
00:16:28.400 uh,
00:16:28.900 sort of threatening.
00:16:31.180 If abortion isn't safe,
00:16:32.620 neither are you sort of way.
00:16:34.740 Right.
00:16:35.220 And that,
00:16:35.640 you know,
00:16:35.860 that that's a,
00:16:36.820 in a,
00:16:37.100 in a peaceful sense,
00:16:38.420 there was tranquility involved in those words.
00:16:41.780 Amen.
00:16:42.280 Amen.
00:16:42.520 And they also,
00:16:43.360 uh,
00:16:43.860 scribbled,
00:16:44.400 uh,
00:16:44.880 on the side of a,
00:16:46.140 another,
00:16:46.600 uh,
00:16:47.080 clinic,
00:16:47.520 um,
00:16:48.480 the,
00:16:48.980 the,
00:16:49.200 in Madison,
00:16:50.280 Wisconsin,
00:16:50.800 uh,
00:16:51.780 it was a,
00:16:52.600 a pro-life,
00:16:53.460 uh,
00:16:54.120 office.
00:16:54.780 They,
00:16:55.380 they,
00:16:55.680 they scribbled or actually very nice cursive handwriting.
00:16:59.440 So,
00:16:59.620 you know that it was the right,
00:17:01.660 um,
00:17:02.120 1312 was also on there,
00:17:04.680 which every conservative who doesn't know what 1312 means,
00:17:09.980 right?
00:17:10.560 I mean,
00:17:10.860 that's,
00:17:11.260 I didn't,
00:17:11.660 we start all of our,
00:17:12.580 come on.
00:17:12.820 We start all of our meetings with,
00:17:14.200 Hey,
00:17:14.760 hail 1312.
00:17:16.180 What is 13,
00:17:17.080 1312?
00:17:17.800 12,
00:17:18.720 all cops are,
00:17:19.560 uh,
00:17:20.160 the B word.
00:17:20.900 I'm not sure.
00:17:22.140 I think I know what B word,
00:17:23.800 but so many words have been banned when somebody says the B word.
00:17:26.860 Well,
00:17:27.320 we wouldn't want to designate the gender of the police officer.
00:17:30.740 That would be either one of those.
00:17:32.680 It could be either one of those.
00:17:34.440 So,
00:17:34.780 uh,
00:17:35.820 we don't know,
00:17:36.440 but 1312,
00:17:37.460 that was the tip off to me that it was definitely,
00:17:40.340 definitely right wing church goers.
00:17:43.500 Uh,
00:17:45.280 welcome to the,
00:17:48.380 Oh,
00:17:48.480 by the way,
00:17:49.000 um,
00:17:49.420 Antifa also,
00:17:50.500 um,
00:17:51.680 the pro abort men of Antifa,
00:17:55.000 uh,
00:17:56.080 were,
00:17:56.520 um,
00:17:57.220 putting out hits on,
00:17:58.380 uh,
00:17:58.580 pregnancy centers in Portland.
00:17:59.960 Also this,
00:18:00.960 uh,
00:18:01.160 this weekend,
00:18:01.800 they bash windows and put F CPCs,
00:18:05.580 which again,
00:18:07.360 come on.
00:18:07.700 We all know what that means.
00:18:09.100 All right.
00:18:09.820 Uh,
00:18:10.020 the tunnel twins.
00:18:11.740 I want to tell you about a little girl named Pippa,
00:18:15.080 Pippa,
00:18:15.400 the painter,
00:18:16.420 Pippa's mom liked her paintings and started sharing them all over social media.
00:18:20.000 And what do you know?
00:18:20.620 People started saying,
00:18:21.700 Pippa,
00:18:22.000 you should sell these things.
00:18:23.580 So Pippa and her mom began looking into it.
00:18:26.700 Turns out market for putting paint paintings on a t-shirts,
00:18:30.380 mugs,
00:18:30.860 canvas,
00:18:31.420 frame prints,
00:18:32.240 baby clothes,
00:18:32.980 huh?
00:18:35.040 Pippa,
00:18:35.560 you're a genius.
00:18:36.700 Uh,
00:18:38.020 should have thought of that one.
00:18:39.140 Anyway,
00:18:39.460 sure enough,
00:18:39.940 great idea because it started selling like heart hotcakes and,
00:18:44.280 uh,
00:18:45.000 Pippa's now a business owner.
00:18:47.760 This is the kind of inspiring story that your kids can find what other kids are doing to become business owners,
00:18:55.620 entrepreneurs.
00:18:56.620 They find you're finding them now in the Tuttle times.
00:19:00.260 It's a magazine dedicated to teaching our kids about entrepreneurship.
00:19:02.980 And other freedom related things.
00:19:05.500 You can get access to the magazine now at a reduced rate,
00:19:09.440 $49 for the entire year.
00:19:11.780 You give this to them.
00:19:13.060 It inspires them,
00:19:14.360 gives them examples of what others are doing.
00:19:17.700 Beside being on Tik TOK.
00:19:20.100 It's Tuttle twins,
00:19:21.140 Beck.com Tuttle twins,
00:19:22.860 Beck.com just $49 for 12 months.
00:19:26.200 Tuttle twins,
00:19:27.140 Beck.com 10 seconds station.
00:19:29.360 I D.
00:19:32.980 Yeah.
00:19:41.660 You know,
00:19:41.940 what's really weird is,
00:19:43.500 um,
00:19:44.040 all of these people pretending to be from the left,
00:19:48.280 but we know they are clearly right wing nut jobs that were protesting in front of the houses of,
00:19:57.180 uh,
00:19:57.440 some of the Supreme court members.
00:19:58.900 Hmm.
00:19:59.320 That was,
00:20:00.000 that was great.
00:20:00.780 Completely against the law.
00:20:02.320 I have a right to free speech.
00:20:04.340 It's a free sidewalk.
00:20:05.820 Yeah,
00:20:06.080 actually you don't,
00:20:07.640 you don't,
00:20:08.160 um,
00:20:08.520 it's against the law to,
00:20:10.780 uh,
00:20:11.180 protest or try to intimidate at a home.
00:20:17.120 Uh,
00:20:17.600 uh,
00:20:17.880 any judge to try to influence their decisions.
00:20:22.200 It's against the law.
00:20:23.760 Now,
00:20:24.320 who would have known that?
00:20:25.820 Now it's okay to break the law when you're involved in a mostly peaceful protest,
00:20:30.420 uh,
00:20:31.560 when you're on the right side of these issues.
00:20:33.260 Yeah.
00:20:33.400 And that's the key.
00:20:34.320 That's the key.
00:20:35.100 Like when,
00:20:35.840 let's just advance a little while here.
00:20:37.940 When the left occupies the Supreme court building,
00:20:41.780 when this occurs,
00:20:42.900 will it be called an insurrection at that point?
00:20:46.520 No,
00:20:47.020 it will not.
00:20:47.740 No.
00:20:48.000 Okay.
00:20:48.280 I just want to make sure for the right,
00:20:49.680 you know,
00:20:49.880 it's for the right causes.
00:20:50.920 Here's MSNBC.
00:20:52.400 It's a cut eight,
00:20:53.600 please.
00:20:54.860 Uh,
00:20:55.180 Amy,
00:20:55.400 you just heard Michelle refer to,
00:20:57.260 uh,
00:20:57.500 the anti-abortionist as terrorists.
00:20:59.440 And she has a point because the quote unquote people who call themselves pro-life,
00:21:04.000 um,
00:21:04.520 they achieve this through violence.
00:21:06.140 Uh,
00:21:06.500 when you look through the,
00:21:07.360 I remember I'm old enough to remember that in the eighties,
00:21:09.960 um,
00:21:10.400 anti-abortion protesters began bombing clinics.
00:21:12.900 Uh,
00:21:13.740 threatening doctors,
00:21:14.780 um,
00:21:15.460 by 1990,
00:21:16.520 a thousand abortion doctors had quit.
00:21:18.440 84% counties nationwide had no abortion clinic.
00:21:21.280 You are an abortion provider.
00:21:23.100 What does this ruling mean for you?
00:21:25.360 That is the dumbest point.
00:21:26.720 So Michelle is right.
00:21:27.840 And I'm thankful to be here to me this morning with both Michelle and Nancy.
00:21:31.520 Uh,
00:21:32.480 there is violence and it is terrorism.
00:21:34.280 And I think it's very important for us to recognize that it is Christian extremism.
00:21:38.180 That is at the root of the shame and the stigma that allows laws like this to pass,
00:21:43.200 that allows justices like this to be confirmed.
00:21:46.120 And this does not represent the majority of feelings and beliefs of people in this country.
00:21:50.800 Oh,
00:21:50.860 I'm sorry.
00:21:51.060 I tell you,
00:21:51.540 this is connecting with a lot of people.
00:21:53.220 It probably is.
00:21:54.320 That doesn't make it smart.
00:21:55.440 Because you have MSNBC.
00:21:56.840 There were six panelists there,
00:21:58.320 I think,
00:21:59.180 which is six times the normal viewership of MSNBC.
00:22:04.160 That's true.
00:22:04.320 They were all watching.
00:22:05.180 They were all watching.
00:22:05.940 So ratings were up.
00:22:06.560 Yeah.
00:22:06.800 Well,
00:22:07.020 I should say maybe five.
00:22:08.360 So the theory here is that 12 murders,
00:22:11.840 which they claim,
00:22:12.740 I haven't fact checked that,
00:22:13.680 from 1973 to today is what brought us to this 98 page legal ruling by the Supreme Court.
00:22:22.580 Yeah.
00:22:22.900 That's the case.
00:22:24.200 It's terrorism.
00:22:24.980 Wow.
00:22:25.360 I mean,
00:22:25.740 you want to talk about brilliance.
00:22:27.460 How do you,
00:22:28.520 honestly,
00:22:29.500 how do you bridge the gap?
00:22:31.320 How do you bridge the gap?
00:22:32.600 The gap is just getting so far apart.
00:22:36.720 It's impossible to bridge the gap with someone that dumb.
00:22:39.940 It's impossible.
00:22:43.920 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:22:45.900 I'm going to try.
00:22:47.420 I'm going to try.
00:22:48.160 There was a gap.
00:22:48.740 There was a gap yesterday.
00:22:50.000 I'm sick of trying.
00:22:50.500 I've realized that about life lately.
00:22:52.020 I'm sick of trying.
00:22:52.960 Okay.
00:22:53.280 It's so annoying.
00:22:54.160 You had a good weekend,
00:22:55.020 didn't you?
00:22:55.280 Oh,
00:22:55.440 yeah,
00:22:55.580 it was great.

00:24:16.680 Emily Libert.
00:24:17.840 She is,
00:24:19.480 um,
00:24:19.900 she's talking,
00:24:21.160 um,
00:24:21.860 writing about Jewish leaders banning abortion is absolutely a violation of
00:24:27.360 religious freedom.
00:24:28.480 She says she has talked to many,
00:24:32.580 a coalition of rabbis who are defending Jewish pregnant people's right to
00:24:39.140 abortion access.
00:24:40.300 And in fact,
00:24:41.040 rabbi,
00:24:41.640 uh,
00:24:42.520 Ruttenberg scholar in residence at the national council of Jewish women who,
00:24:47.340 Oh,
00:24:47.640 it's a Jewish rabbi,
00:24:49.340 uh,
00:24:49.620 focuses on religious texts and she focuses on religious texts around sexuality
00:24:55.460 and bodily autonomy.
00:24:57.820 She says Judaism is a patriarchal religion and that there are plenty of
00:25:03.700 places in the Torah that don't get it right.
00:25:06.000 As if you view it through a reproductive justice lens,
00:25:12.180 she says much of the Jewish religion can be interpreted,
00:25:16.060 uh,
00:25:16.300 interpreted as support for the right to choose,
00:25:18.620 which I think,
00:25:19.260 you know,
00:25:20.080 I,
00:25:20.540 I like my rabbi,
00:25:22.080 my priest,
00:25:22.780 anybody who can read through a reproductive justice lens.
00:25:26.340 Um,
00:25:26.840 Oh,
00:25:26.980 absolutely.
00:25:27.580 I,
00:25:27.820 I,
00:25:28.140 I,
00:25:28.200 that's the only kind of lens I look through.
00:25:29.720 Right.
00:25:29.980 Exactly.
00:25:30.480 Right.
00:25:30.740 And I got,
00:25:31.220 I,
00:25:31.340 I got mine at lens crafters.
00:25:33.100 Where'd you go?
00:25:33.520 Oh,
00:25:33.660 you did.
00:25:34.100 Yeah.
00:25:34.380 Uh,
00:25:34.980 better contacts and eyeglasses is where I got mine.
00:25:37.340 Really?
00:25:37.680 Wow.
00:25:37.960 Anyway.
00:25:38.760 Um,
00:25:39.240 so I don't have a third lens crafter.
00:25:43.340 Walmart.
00:25:46.180 I don't know.
00:25:46.500 So,
00:25:46.860 um,
00:25:47.540 Exodus,
00:25:48.320 uh,
00:25:48.580 the,
00:25:48.840 uh,
00:25:49.020 the rabbis,
00:25:49.720 uh,
00:25:50.020 use Exodus 2022.
00:25:52.360 The article says,
00:25:53.540 the verse says when men fight and one of them pushes a pregnant woman and a
00:25:57.220 miscarriage results,
00:25:58.460 but no other harm ensues.
00:26:00.160 The one responsible shall be fined with the woman's husband's demands a
00:26:04.240 compensation.
00:26:04.840 The payment will be determined by judges,
00:26:07.320 but if other harm ensues,
00:26:09.300 the penalty shall be life for life.
00:26:11.800 The problem is,
00:26:13.180 um,
00:26:13.760 uh,
00:26:13.900 maybe these rabbis can't read Hebrew or know somebody cause I don't read
00:26:18.420 Hebrew,
00:26:18.880 but I know people that read Hebrew and the Hebrew phrase that they are
00:26:23.980 translating as miscarriage actually translates to her child,
00:26:28.540 uh,
00:26:28.800 children come out.
00:26:30.960 Now,
00:26:32.000 nowhere is in the Bible does that is that word translated as a miscarriage
00:26:40.180 because there's another word for miscarriage in Exodus.
00:26:44.740 No,
00:26:45.180 uh,
00:26:45.560 none shall miscarry.
00:26:47.220 Uh,
00:26:47.900 and that's a completely different word.
00:26:50.660 So the verse actually says,
00:26:52.660 if men fight and hurt a pregnant woman so that she prematurely gives birth
00:26:57.600 and yet no harm follows,
00:26:59.460 he's supposed to go to court and be punished accordingly.
00:27:02.440 But if harm follows,
00:27:04.220 then you should give life for life.
00:27:06.540 So in other words,
00:27:07.060 if the baby comes out and there's something wrong with the baby because of
00:27:10.320 this,
00:27:11.400 you can kill him.
00:27:13.300 I've just wanted to just sounds really pro choice.
00:27:16.040 So it's not,
00:27:17.020 yeah,
00:27:17.260 it's not exactly.
00:27:18.700 However,
00:27:19.920 Genesis also talks about,
00:27:21.680 uh,
00:27:22.040 Jacob and,
00:27:22.860 uh,
00:27:23.140 Esau wrestling in their mother's belly.
00:27:26.360 Uh,
00:27:26.880 and they don't say that the scriptures say the sons,
00:27:30.440 her sons were wrestling in her bed.
00:27:32.280 Doesn't say clump of cells.
00:27:34.500 The clump of cells was,
00:27:36.640 you know what I mean?
00:27:37.240 And,
00:27:37.920 uh,
00:27:38.280 Isaiah and I called me from the womb before I was born.
00:27:42.160 He spoke my name.
00:27:43.680 He clearly said clump of cells,
00:27:46.960 which was really,
00:27:49.500 which is really weird.
00:27:52.000 Uh,
00:27:52.520 and then Jeremiah one 15 before I formed you in the womb,
00:27:56.660 I knew you,
00:27:58.660 you were a Buick.
00:28:01.280 Then I changed my mind and I thought,
00:28:03.220 ah,
00:28:03.900 I'll let you be a kid.
00:28:05.300 All right.
00:28:05.740 So you're a kid.
00:28:07.380 So they could have aborted when the child was a Buick.
00:28:10.480 You're still in Bible country.
00:28:11.800 That would have been still in Bible country.
00:28:13.520 Yes,
00:28:13.700 absolutely.
00:28:14.140 And that would have been way ahead of time for a Buick.
00:28:16.520 Yeah.
00:28:16.960 So that would have been kind of cool.
00:28:18.300 Well,
00:28:18.480 God knows all.
00:28:19.380 There's no time in God's world.
00:28:21.640 So the Bible is a book of patterns that maybe we should,
00:28:25.840 you know,
00:28:26.080 look at those,
00:28:26.800 uh,
00:28:27.540 patterns.
00:28:27.960 And I,
00:28:28.720 this is me and I'm not a rabbi,
00:28:30.700 but I am a doctor.
00:28:32.460 It is useful,
00:28:34.940 uh,
00:28:35.700 sometimes not to pull a single verse out and have that support your entire philosophy.
00:28:43.680 It'd be like,
00:28:44.580 if I was a doctor of Shakespeare,
00:28:46.780 you know,
00:28:48.560 uh,
00:28:49.200 I,
00:28:49.480 I just don't think I would pull one line to be or not to be.
00:28:53.760 And then I could explain all of Shakespeare.
00:28:56.420 You know what I mean?
00:28:57.240 That's just a safety tip,
00:28:58.560 safety tip,
00:28:59.420 safety tip to those clumps of cells.
00:29:03.740 I keep hearing this argument.
00:29:07.760 I'm curious as to if you guys feel the same way on this.
00:29:10.300 They,
00:29:10.860 they keep saying like,
00:29:12.000 we don't need your religion in our laws.
00:29:15.660 Like,
00:29:15.940 I don't care if you have a religious viewpoint on abortion.
00:29:18.640 It doesn't matter.
00:29:19.900 That has nothing to do with a woman's right and blah,
00:29:22.120 blah,
00:29:22.220 blah,
00:29:22.360 blah,
00:29:22.440 blah.
00:29:22.660 You can have that personal view,
00:29:24.020 but it doesn't matter.
00:29:24.960 And I started thinking about that a little bit because they say this often as
00:29:27.860 if the only way you could come to the conclusion of keeping babies alive is
00:29:31.640 through your religion.
00:29:32.640 Right.
00:29:32.800 And I was kind of examining my own thought process on this.
00:29:36.260 And this may be to my own shame.
00:29:37.760 Okay.
00:29:38.220 All right.
00:29:38.900 But I don't think I've come to that conclusion at all based on my faith.
00:29:44.000 Like I don't,
00:29:44.880 I'm really happy my faith agrees with the conclusion I've come to logically about
00:29:49.720 abortion.
00:29:50.240 Yeah.
00:29:50.460 Because if it didn't,
00:29:51.360 I would have a real,
00:29:52.380 I don't think I would be able to square those two.
00:29:54.260 It would be really difficult for me to understand.
00:29:56.380 But like,
00:29:57.120 that is honestly more of a coincidence than anything else.
00:30:00.560 I do it to a complete science.
00:30:03.200 Completely science.
00:30:04.420 I want kids.
00:30:05.040 Life is important.
00:30:06.340 It's not just a more,
00:30:07.360 that is a moral stance,
00:30:08.420 but it is not just a moral stance.
00:30:10.580 It is,
00:30:11.200 it is a legal stance is a logical stance that every child should have a chance at
00:30:16.360 life.
00:30:16.800 By the way,
00:30:17.340 all morals don't have to come be based in the Bible.
00:30:20.200 I mean,
00:30:20.700 you know,
00:30:21.600 Hey,
00:30:21.800 let's not kill children.
00:30:23.680 I think that's a pretty good safety tip.
00:30:25.940 I didn't need God to tell me that.
00:30:27.480 There's a lot of moral atheists.
00:30:29.660 Yeah.
00:30:29.960 People who live good lives.
00:30:31.660 Yeah.
00:30:31.880 Even though they don't believe in God.
00:30:33.240 Exactly right.
00:30:34.160 And like the moral basis of our,
00:30:35.600 a lot of our laws comes from that Judeo Christian tradition.
00:30:39.240 Right.
00:30:39.660 Right.
00:30:39.840 But that does not mean that this is the reason why people want there to be no
00:30:46.180 children being aborted.
00:30:48.200 I like,
00:30:48.620 these are totally like they work together,
00:30:51.720 which is what's great about faith.
00:30:53.480 Many times,
00:30:54.280 you know,
00:30:54.460 logic and faith tend to line up a lot,
00:30:56.480 which is sometimes they don't,
00:30:57.860 but sometimes it's hard.
00:30:58.880 Sometimes it's hard.
00:30:59.380 Yeah.
00:30:59.800 But this,
00:31:00.420 in this particular case,
00:31:01.360 like it's just doesn't like it's it murders another one,
00:31:04.460 right?
00:31:04.600 Like thou shalt not murders in the Bible quite clearly,
00:31:07.460 but that's not necessarily why I think there should be a policy against
00:31:10.540 murder.
00:31:11.000 Right.
00:31:11.420 Right.
00:31:11.760 Like it's in the Bible.
00:31:13.360 Okay.
00:31:14.160 Okay.
00:31:15.280 Pope Stu,
00:31:16.580 quiet down about murdering people.
00:31:23.460 I love how they're trying to make this out.
00:31:26.740 All the,
00:31:27.560 all the protests that are starting to occur and some of the violence that is
00:31:32.100 beginning to happen.
00:31:32.920 And they're trying to blame it on the right.
00:31:35.500 Clearly.
00:31:36.160 You see the,
00:31:36.680 the report from CNN that warning of the far right violence because of this
00:31:41.400 decision.
00:31:43.500 What far right violence has there been?
00:31:46.980 We were just talking about it.
00:31:48.360 I think the Nazis were pretty cool with killing babies.
00:31:51.800 Yeah.
00:31:52.340 They seem like,
00:31:53.180 and they always say that's far right.
00:31:55.400 Plus the far right,
00:31:56.740 as you pointed out a million times,
00:31:59.080 Nazis are not on the right.
00:32:01.340 They're socialists.
00:32:02.120 Nazis are national socialists and they belong on the left.
00:32:05.300 Unless you live in Europe.
00:32:07.200 Yes.
00:32:07.840 Then it's a,
00:32:08.740 then they're a right organization.
00:32:10.640 And why is that Pat?
00:32:11.440 Because they don't have something called the constitution.
00:32:15.160 Right.
00:32:16.040 Exactly.
00:32:16.980 So,
00:32:17.540 uh,
00:32:18.120 I mean,
00:32:19.520 the,
00:32:19.840 the media and especially CNN is always trying to blame violence on the right.
00:32:25.820 And we never accommodate them except when it's one of the things that makes it so bad.
00:32:31.900 January 6th.
00:32:33.420 I mean,
00:32:33.700 January 6th was probably the one thing that they can point to and say,
00:32:38.780 and it's yeah.
00:32:39.900 And then when we've said that for 15 years,
00:32:42.500 don't ever do anything like that.
00:32:45.720 And now they've done it.
00:32:46.900 And we've,
00:32:47.600 they got an excuse now to point to them and say,
00:32:50.560 look,
00:32:50.880 see,
00:32:51.100 we told you that I just don't think people are going to buy it.
00:32:53.600 I really just don't think,
00:32:56.080 I mean,
00:32:56.900 it's so clear what's going on.
00:32:58.700 I mean,
00:32:58.860 to,
00:32:58.980 to go to just off the point,
00:33:01.000 we played a clip earlier,
00:33:02.180 Glenn,
00:33:02.580 like when they're trying to point to right-wing violence,
00:33:04.520 they literally go back to abortion clinic bombings from the 1980s.
00:33:09.000 Right.
00:33:09.640 Like,
00:33:10.040 so this is what,
00:33:10.920 like,
00:33:11.100 this is what's happened.
00:33:11.920 I mean,
00:33:12.120 you know,
00:33:12.920 what was the guy,
00:33:13.660 uh,
00:33:14.060 Eric Rudolph,
00:33:14.760 was it?
00:33:15.260 Yeah.
00:33:15.740 I'm trying to remember his name.
00:33:17.040 And that was what?
00:33:18.600 96.
00:33:19.240 When we heard about him.
00:33:20.560 Yeah.
00:33:20.900 So Olympics.
00:33:22.020 Yeah.
00:33:22.340 Right.
00:33:22.480 That's right.
00:33:22.840 But he had been before that when he supposedly bombed abortion clinics.
00:33:26.540 So 90s,
00:33:27.060 you've got some,
00:33:27.640 you know,
00:33:27.800 20 years ago.
00:33:28.600 I know we had the one 40,
00:33:29.900 30 years ago.
00:33:31.320 80s were 40 years,
00:33:32.700 40 years ago.
00:33:33.480 Yeah.
00:33:33.640 You had some,
00:33:34.420 you had one murder.
00:33:35.600 I remember in,
00:33:36.620 uh,
00:33:37.040 I think it was Kansas of an abortion clinic and,
00:33:39.520 and,
00:33:39.660 uh,
00:33:39.980 a doctor.
00:33:40.680 And I remember thinking,
00:33:42.280 I've never heard,
00:33:43.740 never heard a conservative be justify that in any way.
00:33:48.020 Say,
00:33:48.580 Hey,
00:33:48.900 look,
00:33:49.340 we think that's bad,
00:33:50.300 but it's not.
00:33:51.660 It's just straight out wrong.
00:33:53.500 Wow.
00:33:54.180 Wow.
00:33:55.280 Okay.
00:33:55.560 Apparently you guys don't know what's really going on.
00:33:57.600 Oh,
00:33:58.020 really?
00:33:58.860 Yeah.
00:33:59.180 Wow.
00:33:59.580 Yeah.
00:33:59.980 Rosanna Arquette,
00:34:01.100 you know,
00:34:01.420 the,
00:34:01.620 Oh no.
00:34:02.160 Yeah.
00:34:02.420 Oh no.
00:34:02.960 Yeah.
00:34:03.100 She's,
00:34:03.540 she's not,
00:34:03.940 she has the beans.
00:34:06.040 She has the beans.
00:34:07.740 Yes.
00:34:08.480 Uh,
00:34:08.840 she's right through us.
00:34:10.100 Yeah.
00:34:10.260 She knows what's happening with the Republicans.
00:34:13.140 She says the Republicans have financial gain in this Supreme court,
00:34:19.240 uh,
00:34:19.800 ruling.
00:34:20.620 Okay.
00:34:21.400 We really,
00:34:22.180 Oh,
00:34:22.700 big time.
00:34:23.380 Yeah.
00:34:23.620 Big time.
00:34:24.180 Think about it.
00:34:24.840 Where's all that money coming from?
00:34:25.920 Uh,
00:34:26.280 the money is,
00:34:27.060 the money is coming from the Republican parties,
00:34:30.020 trafficking babies.
00:34:31.460 Oh,
00:34:31.780 wow.
00:34:32.080 Republican parties.
00:34:32.900 Yeah.
00:34:33.320 Oh,
00:34:33.540 sure.
00:34:33.960 She's not competent enough to do anything of the sort.
00:34:36.160 Uh,
00:34:36.480 no,
00:34:36.740 she said,
00:34:37.240 no,
00:34:37.500 this is a satanic force that's in the Supreme court.
00:34:41.440 And she said,
00:34:42.440 it's not hysterical or alarmist.
00:34:45.540 Uh,
00:34:46.020 they are going to traffic in babies.
00:34:49.040 Oh,
00:34:49.580 wow.
00:34:49.820 That women just can't afford to keep.
00:34:52.280 And she's onto us.
00:34:53.820 She's onto us.
00:34:54.980 Yeah.
00:34:55.420 We were hoping nobody would notice.
00:34:57.260 I know.
00:34:57.840 Well,
00:34:58.100 we were,
00:34:58.660 well,
00:34:59.060 until we had to advertise.
00:35:00.820 Yeah.
00:35:01.300 She said there's huge money in making,
00:35:03.440 uh,
00:35:03.940 uh,
00:35:04.540 in making,
00:35:05.180 uh,
00:35:05.460 a worldwide market for babies and it's all behind organ trafficking.
00:35:11.840 So she says the,
00:35:13.340 the Supreme court is officially the satanic force.
00:35:16.620 So wait,
00:35:17.700 what are we doing?
00:35:18.380 We're,
00:35:18.560 we're,
00:35:18.720 we're growing babies to grow organs.
00:35:20.820 Yeah.
00:35:21.440 So this is,
00:35:23.220 yeah.
00:35:23.960 Yeah.
00:35:24.380 Your answer to that was,
00:35:25.160 yeah.
00:35:25.600 Yeah.
00:35:25.840 This is of course,
00:35:27.440 please.
00:35:28.020 Of course.
00:35:28.400 When you call the Supreme court,
00:35:30.100 stop pretending,
00:35:31.000 Stu,
00:35:31.220 we've been caught.
00:35:31.900 Okay.
00:35:33.100 Okay.
00:35:33.560 When you call the Supreme court,
00:35:35.460 you say,
00:35:36.320 I'd like a copy of that case,
00:35:39.160 please.
00:35:39.660 And then they say,
00:35:40.920 uh,
00:35:41.840 okay,
00:35:42.320 uh,
00:35:43.440 anything else?
00:35:44.320 And you'd say,
00:35:45.360 yes,
00:35:45.780 I'd like it with pepperoni and pineapple.
00:35:51.020 Then they go down into the basement.
00:35:53.560 There's tunnels.
00:35:53.960 You want a Hawaiian baby,
00:35:55.300 doesn't it?
00:35:55.740 Yeah.
00:35:55.940 I don't know what that means.
00:35:56.620 Yeah.
00:35:56.780 Yeah.
00:35:56.920 Well,
00:35:57.300 half Hawaiian,
00:35:58.580 uh,
00:35:59.040 half Italian,
00:35:59.920 uh,
00:36:00.500 along with the court case,
00:36:01.900 but see,
00:36:02.380 it's,
00:36:02.640 it's,
00:36:03.080 so it's,
00:36:04.140 you order it like it's a pizza.
00:36:05.380 There are tunnels under the Supreme court.
00:36:08.340 Oh,
00:36:08.500 they're trafficking.
00:36:09.400 This sounds familiar.
00:36:10.580 It does sound familiar.
00:36:11.980 I don't know.
00:36:12.760 Do they play ping pong at the Supreme court too?
00:36:15.200 Or not?
00:36:16.300 No,
00:36:16.840 I know.
00:36:17.240 I'm not sure.
00:36:18.220 I'm not sure.
00:36:18.900 So I'm sure all the people that echo this Rosanna Arquette theory are going to be banned from social media like they were for Pizzagate.
00:36:25.620 Oh,
00:36:26.040 sure.
00:36:26.640 You know,
00:36:26.980 they will be.
00:36:27.560 Yeah.
00:36:27.840 You know,
00:36:28.220 they will be.
00:36:28.660 You bet,
00:36:29.600 but she's onto us.
00:36:31.720 She is.
00:36:32.240 Darn it.
00:36:32.500 So shoot,
00:36:33.560 we,
00:36:33.840 we could have all been so rich.
00:36:36.580 If it wasn't for those crazy kids in that van.
00:36:39.100 Yeah.
00:36:39.440 You know what I mean?
00:36:40.700 Stupid dog.
00:36:41.620 Dumb brother.
00:36:43.520 Scrappy.
00:36:44.040 What kind of name is Scrappy?
00:36:44.940 Isn't it honestly like they're writing Scooby-Doo episodes really does.
00:36:53.700 All right.
00:36:54.500 The,
00:36:54.840 the fed is behind the curve when it comes to fighting inflation.
00:36:59.380 In fact,
00:37:01.040 it's a little ridiculous how far behind they are.
00:37:04.700 Their lack of movement is costing all of us dearly,
00:37:08.640 and it's going to make credit card debt much more expensive.
00:37:11.620 If you thought 19% was high,
00:37:14.200 wait until you see what is coming.
00:37:16.680 It's going to be harder and harder for you to get credit and harder and harder for you to afford any monthly payment that will actually bring that,
00:37:27.080 that balance down every month.
00:37:31.040 But you can do something about it.
00:37:32.640 And you can call American financing.
00:37:34.880 They work for you,
00:37:36.620 not the banks.
00:37:37.760 So when you call them and say,
00:37:39.560 look,
00:37:39.720 I have this amount of money that is on my credit cards and I'm paying already.
00:37:44.520 The average is about 19%.
00:37:46.280 It's going to shoot through the roof.
00:37:49.100 Can I,
00:37:49.780 can I get a consolidation loan that will get me into the fours or 5% so I can pay this off and get out of this?
00:37:56.980 The answer might be yes.
00:37:58.660 Have them look at your financial state and see if they can save you hundreds,
00:38:02.200 if not a thousand dollars a month or more.

00:38:18.700 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:38:33.980 We're going to have to talk later Stu,
00:38:39.380 unless we have time now.
00:38:40.520 How much time do we have here,
00:38:41.500 Sarah?
00:38:41.760 Three minutes.
00:38:42.240 Okay.
00:38:44.140 I purchased some things.
00:38:46.120 Tanya and I purchased some things for our,
00:38:48.580 for the museum here for the American journey experience this weekend.
00:38:53.460 And David and I,
00:38:55.700 who we watch all the auctions,
00:38:57.180 we have never Barton,
00:38:58.140 David Barton.
00:38:59.120 We have never seen auctions like in the last four or five weeks.
00:39:03.980 Um,
00:39:04.980 the prices of things are astronomical,
00:39:09.800 astronomical.
00:39:11.680 Um,
00:39:12.280 so not,
00:39:12.940 not sure.
00:39:13.360 This isn't a reflection of inflation.
00:39:15.520 No,
00:39:15.980 this is a reflection of something else.
00:39:19.520 Uh,
00:39:20.160 and I think it's because rich people are starting to take their money.
00:39:25.840 The last six weeks,
00:39:27.520 the maybe eight weeks,
00:39:29.520 the auction prices are just going through the roof and they've been gently climbing.
00:39:33.980 But they're just starting to spiral out of control.
00:39:36.780 And I think that's because rich people are taking their money out of stocks and bonds and,
00:39:41.360 and also us dollars and buying treasures.
00:39:45.680 They're buying artwork and,
00:39:47.520 uh,
00:39:48.520 different things.
00:39:49.400 The,
00:39:49.720 the,
00:39:49.940 there was a,
00:39:50.980 uh,
00:39:52.160 the one of the only two copies,
00:39:54.220 uh,
00:39:55.140 paper copies of the declaration of independence that was made.
00:39:59.840 I can't remember 18 something or other.
00:40:02.480 Um,
00:40:03.560 and it's kind of sketchy.
00:40:04.720 We don't even know how they were made,
00:40:06.480 et cetera,
00:40:06.820 et cetera.
00:40:07.740 Um,
00:40:08.240 we are going on.
00:40:10.420 Yeah.
00:40:10.520 We think it's this that went for,
00:40:14.120 uh,
00:40:16.760 it was either almost five or almost $600,000.
00:40:19.840 It was estimated to go between 20 and $40,000.
00:40:24.240 It is some people with money.
00:40:28.980 And I always say this because my grandfather always taught me the people in the depression
00:40:35.120 who survived the depression were the people who had money going into it,
00:40:40.180 had stable jobs going into it.
00:40:42.820 And,
00:40:44.020 uh,
00:40:44.500 he always said,
00:40:45.520 if we would have known what the rich people knew,
00:40:49.060 then we probably would have done better for ourselves.
00:40:53.100 And I'm telling you right now,
00:40:54.980 rich people,
00:40:56.100 I think are getting and putting their money into anything really that is long lasting an asset that will appreciate in value because dollars and stocks are going down.
00:41:10.380 Yeah.
00:41:10.480 And the time period of,
00:41:11.760 you know,
00:41:11.920 a couple of months is about what we've seen with the weakening of all these markets too.
00:41:15.780 So it kind of lines up.
00:41:16.820 Yeah.
00:41:17.480 All right.
00:41:17.820 Back in a minute.
00:41:18.740 We've got a great hour with a former Soviet spy.
00:41:22.320 This is the Glenn back program.
00:41:24.900 Thank you so much.
00:41:25.780 We're just talking about,
00:41:26.840 uh,
00:41:27.000 that amazing Kentucky Derby.
00:41:29.140 Um,
00:41:29.580 we'll talk about it a little bit later.
00:41:31.300 Um,
00:41:31.720 my understanding is the horse,
00:41:33.220 uh,
00:41:33.380 eight rough greens.
00:41:34.560 Really?
00:41:35.080 Yeah.
00:41:35.200 That's how it happened.
00:41:36.080 And they put the bull and said after the race,
00:41:39.200 and he was just running for the bowl.
00:41:40.980 Yeah.
00:41:41.140 That's it.
00:41:41.540 That's the rumor.
00:41:42.420 I haven't,
00:41:42.780 I haven't confirmed that.
00:41:43.620 Wow.
00:41:44.140 Wow.
00:41:44.600 Well,
00:41:44.780 don't look into it too deeply.
00:41:46.260 No,
00:41:46.400 I would never.
00:41:47.000 When it agrees with something that I like,
00:41:48.420 I would never look into it more deeply.
00:41:49.860 So rough greens,
00:41:50.920 when you're feeding your dog,
00:41:52.460 kibble,
00:41:52.760 kibble food,
00:41:53.540 it's dead food,
00:41:54.400 been sterilized,
00:41:55.360 uh,
00:41:55.660 has to be sterilized so it can sit on a store shelf.
00:41:58.060 I'm not kidding for two or two and a half years.
00:42:00.800 Um,
00:42:01.160 that's the rule.
00:42:02.240 So it doesn't contain anything that your dog really needs,
00:42:05.780 uh,
00:42:06.340 to live his best life.
00:42:07.560 That's where rough greens comes in.
00:42:09.420 Not a dog food.
00:42:10.520 It's a supplement that you put on the food and it is filled with vitamins and
00:42:13.540 minerals and probiotics and antioxidants.
00:42:16.200 The things your dog,
00:42:18.020 in fact,
00:42:18.420 you need to live healthier.
00:42:20.420 Most of the time,
00:42:21.700 dogs absolutely love it.
00:42:23.560 It's like dog crack,
00:42:24.700 but they want to make sure that,
00:42:26.540 uh,
00:42:27.000 your dog loves rough greens as much as our dogs do.
00:42:30.180 All you pay for,
00:42:31.360 for the first bag is shipping at rough greens,
00:42:34.120 ruffgreens.com slash back rough greens.com slash back or call 833 Glenn 33.
00:42:40.800 That's 833 G L E N N 33.
00:42:43.940 Rough greens.com slash back.
00:42:45.820 Do it now.
00:43:10.320 Got no room to compromise.
00:43:15.820 We got to stand together.
00:43:17.360 It's the chorus of life.
00:43:21.680 Stand up straight and hold the line.
00:43:27.100 It's a new day on time to rise.
00:43:33.540 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:38.020 This is the Glenn back program.
00:43:44.680 Wow.
00:43:45.400 Remember all the big missile parades.
00:43:47.660 If you were my age,
00:43:48.720 you saw from the Soviet union growing up.
00:43:51.480 Well,
00:43:51.840 victory day was commemorated yesterday with a big military parade.
00:43:56.360 And Putin gave a speech about,
00:43:58.740 uh,
00:43:58.960 Ukraine didn't declare war,
00:44:02.640 but also didn't declare victory.
00:44:05.560 What are we headed for?
00:44:08.560 I thought I would ask a friend of the program,
00:44:11.520 Jack Barsky.
00:44:12.740 He's a former Soviet spy.
00:44:15.380 Uh,
00:44:15.900 he is the author of deep undercover.
00:44:18.140 He's also the guy that the Americans used as a consultant on that to get the story.
00:44:24.720 Right.
00:44:25.680 He also has a podcast documentary called the agent.
00:44:29.900 If anybody knows how to read the tea leaves,
00:44:33.560 Jack may be one of the few.
00:44:35.420 We talked to him in 60 seconds.
00:44:37.860 Mary wrote in about her experience with relief factor.
00:44:40.360 She says,
00:44:40.760 dear relief factor.
00:44:41.520 I'm so happy.
00:44:42.280 I've been on the product for five days now,
00:44:44.100 and I can't believe the difference.
00:44:45.660 It's already made in my life.
00:44:47.580 Before I started taking it,
00:44:48.800 I could hardly get up the stairs.
00:44:50.340 Now I can go up and down without any pain whatsoever.
00:44:53.580 And it is amazing.
00:44:55.540 I want to order the 90 pack.
00:44:57.960 I never want to run out of this.
00:44:59.560 Wonderful,
00:45:00.360 wonderful stuff.
00:45:01.400 Thank you.
00:45:01.940 Relief factor.
00:45:03.200 Relief factor is not a drug.
00:45:04.820 It was developed by doctors and has four key ingredients that work with your body to fight
00:45:08.760 inflammation,
00:45:09.340 which causes most of our pain.
00:45:11.480 The three week quick start developed for you is 1995.
00:45:14.520 And it's a trial pack.
00:45:16.540 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered it and tried it.
00:45:19.560 And about 70% of them go on to do exactly what Mary just did.
00:45:24.400 It's relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief.
00:45:27.680 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:45:30.280 The number for relief or relieffactor.com.
00:45:33.780 Feel the difference.
00:45:37.280 This is from the audio podcast,
00:45:41.200 The Agent.
00:45:41.860 The year was 1988 and Jack Barsky had been in the United States for over 10 years.
00:45:53.940 Like anyone living in the hustle and bustle of New York City, the sight of the skyline,
00:45:59.800 peppered with so many tall buildings, never got old.
00:46:03.220 He had made this city a home, a home he knew better than most native New Yorkers, having explored
00:46:09.520 nearly every street by foot or by bicycle.
00:46:13.400 He loved his job as a software developer at MetLife.
00:46:17.500 He adored his coworkers.
00:46:19.640 And he finally felt like he was fitting in.
00:46:22.760 He was meant to be here.
00:46:24.580 He lived in a modest apartment with his wife and young daughter.
00:46:28.000 And they considered looking for a bigger place now that there were three in the family.
00:46:32.980 Even though his days were long and his commute to and from Manhattan made it even longer,
00:46:38.220 he rushed back home every night to see his little princess one last time before she went to bed.
00:46:45.200 Jack Barsky was living the American dream.
00:46:48.060 But this dream was about to take a sudden and unexpected turn.
00:46:57.940 I would probably wake up typically about seven, have a bowl of cereal.
00:47:16.640 and get on my way.
00:47:20.080 I lived in Queens.
00:47:21.920 I had about a 12-minute walk to the subway.
00:47:24.660 This was in December.
00:47:26.440 It was still dark at that time.
00:47:28.460 I'm not a morning person, so I'm just like walking sort of in a daze.
00:47:32.880 I went along a path that I had communicated to the center.
00:47:39.340 They needed to know this because there was a spot on that path where they were able to put signals.
00:47:45.520 So every morning when I get to a supporting post for the elevated A train,
00:47:51.180 I would just take a look and nothing ever was there.
00:47:54.560 But on this cold December morning, Jack noticed something different as he approached the subway station.
00:48:00.120 This is really odd.
00:48:01.800 I get a little closer and there was this red dot.
00:48:04.200 The fist-sized red dot.
00:48:06.080 That screamed at me.
00:48:08.660 What it was saying is danger.
00:48:10.580 Get out of here.
00:48:12.380 Immediately.
00:48:14.060 Don't go back home.
00:48:15.920 Don't go to work.
00:48:18.040 Retrieve your reserve documents.
00:48:20.840 I had a set of Canadian documents that I had hidden in a park someplace.
00:48:26.460 And make a beeline to the Canadian border where eventually you get further instructions
00:48:32.000 and that's how we get you out of here.
00:48:34.480 That's all I knew.
00:48:36.420 Danger.
00:48:37.120 Do this.
00:48:37.760 This was part of the plan.
00:48:39.320 Jack had received a signal.
00:48:41.360 A code red.
00:48:42.520 The red dot was a signal from the center, the home of KGB headquarters back in Moscow,
00:48:47.260 and was part of an elaborate system of graphic signals used for communication.
00:48:53.000 In the 10 years he had spent in America, Jack had regular secret communication with other Russian agents.
00:48:59.580 Agents he never actually met in person.
00:49:02.560 But until today, Jack had never received the danger signal.
00:49:06.040 This is from the podcast, The Agent, and Jack Barsky is with us now.
00:49:12.880 Hi, Jack.
00:49:13.440 How are you?
00:49:14.580 I'm good.
00:49:15.980 Good morning.
00:49:16.840 And thank you.
00:49:17.880 I feel honored to be called a friend of the Glenn Beck program.
00:49:24.500 Can I have that in writing?
00:49:27.660 It'll probably get you in more trouble with the FBI and others, I think, at this point, Jack.
00:49:32.760 But thank you so much.
00:49:35.320 You're an amazing man who lives an amazing life.
00:49:39.120 And had we talked in the 80s, I wouldn't have said that.
00:49:42.800 But you have turned into a great friend of the United States, and I'm not going to reveal anything that is in the agent.
00:49:56.540 I just wanted to talk to you, Jack, because something is happening here with this Ukraine situation.
00:50:04.780 And I feel like everybody's pushing for war, and I'm not so excited about that, because this seems like this could quickly become a nightmare of world war proportions.
00:50:23.240 You are so right.
00:50:26.240 You are so right.
00:50:26.720 And we have to expect that Russia makes a lot of noise.
00:50:33.760 You know, this is what Putin does, and, you know, they threaten.
00:50:37.060 But what's happening in the United States and in other Western countries, we have a bunch of armchair warriors who are playing politics with a situation that could easily be accelerated into what you just call the World War III.
00:50:54.560 The first time I cringed when our president called Putin a war criminal, did that move the needle one way or the other?
00:51:04.880 I said, shut up, don't talk, act, because that, you know, that going back and forth could easily, you know, Putin just might get triggered by that.
00:51:15.880 He is not very amenable to being criticized, and that's a fact.
00:51:23.420 It's a proven historic fact.
00:51:24.820 Jack, tell me, because I've gone back and forth in my head, other than them being incredibly different people, Ronald Reagan called Russia a, you know, an evil empire and called for the destruction of it.
00:51:41.360 And I know reading history that the Kremlin, I think it was Andropov, really was quite a paranoid guy and thought for sure that that the United States under Reagan would, you know, launch missiles in a first strike.
00:51:59.840 What's the difference between then and now?
00:52:02.000 Well, first of all, you're right about Andropov and his paranoia.
00:52:08.460 He thought, and I was aware of that, he started an opera called Operation Ryan, where everybody, every KGB agent who operated in the West had to look out for signs of war.
00:52:22.940 But there was, in those days, the Soviet Union was already weakened, and there was more fear than, you know, active aggression.
00:52:36.740 The Soviet rulers did not want to go to war.
00:52:40.960 And I think Vladimir Putin is very aggressive, and he's maneuvered himself into this position.
00:52:49.820 He can't, he's on a one-way street with no side street to get off.
00:52:55.100 Yeah.
00:52:56.160 And the, do you think he's, in his speech that he gave, where he talked about a new Russia being born, was that misinformation?
00:53:08.620 Or is this, do you think he really believes that?
00:53:13.820 Oh, no.
00:53:14.760 He has not made a secret of that, you know.
00:53:18.560 Right.
00:53:18.860 He, a couple of years ago, I think, he wrote an essay, a lengthy essay, about what he wants to do, and he wants to restore Russia's greatness.
00:53:28.340 Not the Soviet Union, mind you, Russia's greatness.
00:53:32.460 And, you know, this is his life, okay?
00:53:37.000 This is him.
00:53:37.860 He is Russia.
00:53:38.820 And he has, you know, he's convinced himself that some greater power.
00:53:46.880 I think he pretends to be a believer now.
00:53:49.260 He does pretend to be a believer.
00:53:51.700 I don't know if he does believe in God, but he thinks he's been appointed to do just that.
00:53:57.120 That's a little frightening.
00:54:01.140 So, what are we doing that we, I mean, we came out for the first time, Jack, that I know of,
00:54:09.720 and confirmed that we sunk the Russian flagship in the Black Sea, and that we confirmed that we are giving them all kinds of targeting information to target their generals.
00:54:24.500 We are just beating our chest in a very terrifying way.
00:54:29.660 Well, I don't know who we is.
00:54:32.600 There's some leaker, right?
00:54:34.360 Yeah.
00:54:34.860 And then the media printed it.
00:54:37.840 The Pentagon and Biden have denied that.
00:54:42.580 Now, we do admit that we provide intelligence, but, you know, to say that we contributed to the destruction, make this statement that we have proof, that's an exaggeration.
00:54:58.560 Oh, my God, this country is populated by leakers, and everywhere you go where you're supposed to keep things secret, it leaks out.
00:55:08.860 So, what do you see happening here, Jack?
00:55:12.620 As you're sitting watching all of this stuff unfold, somebody who grew up under that system, you probably know geopolitics, at least from a historic sense, probably better than most.
00:55:26.460 So, you understand what's going on here.
00:55:32.220 You need to put yourself into the shoes of Vladimir Putin, his leadership, and the Russian people in general.
00:55:41.740 And Putin looks at this conflict as a conflict between himself and the West, not just Ukraine.
00:55:51.760 He isn't just saying it, he believes it, because this kind of thinking is rooted in Russian history.
00:56:01.400 The Russian people and the Russian leaders have always been paranoid for a good reason.
00:56:07.600 Ever since Russia was founded, it has been attacked from all sides, from the northeast, west, south.
00:56:15.400 It was the Mongols, it was the Turks, it was the Vikings, it was Napoleon, and it was Hitler.
00:56:25.080 So, there's a paranoia gene in the Russian DNA, and Putin believes that the West is coming after him.
00:56:36.460 And this only gets worse as we shut down all of the financing and pull all of our people out.
00:56:48.420 And when I say our people, pull all of our financial systems and any of our businesses out of Russia.
00:56:56.280 That has to speak volumes.
00:56:58.400 It does, but I don't think it is as powerful as Americans like to believe.
00:57:05.360 Because Putin, we know that he's not stupid.
00:57:10.160 He expected that.
00:57:12.120 And when you look at what's happening right now, the ruble has stabilized.
00:57:17.640 Putin still is, I think in the last two months, he got more oil and gas revenue than in the five months before.
00:57:27.280 The, you know, and he has allies.
00:57:31.900 I mean, right now, China is allied with him, and India is at best neutral.
00:57:41.320 So, he is not, you know, this is like, his economy is like a set of gears that will have to deal with some sand.
00:57:53.240 But I don't think we can bring him down to his knees.
00:57:57.280 All right, back in just a second with the agent.
00:58:01.700 He is a former Soviet spy from the United States.
00:58:05.040 He was deep undercover.
00:58:06.860 He was born in East Germany.
00:58:09.400 Came over here to spy for the Russians.
00:58:12.440 Fascinating guy.
00:58:13.440 We'll continue our conversation with Jack Barsky here in just a second.
00:58:16.520 First, let me tell you about American financing.
00:58:26.700 America's home for home loans.
00:58:28.320 I really, truly believe that you can benefit from a 10-minute phone call, just a quick mortgage review.
00:58:36.640 It's free, no-obligation conversation about your current loan, and maybe about your debts and your high-interest credit cards to see if one of their salary-based mortgage consultants can help you.
00:58:49.260 Let them run the numbers for you.
00:58:51.280 See if maybe they can save you $1,000 a month.
00:58:54.720 If they can, you'll be moving forward with a new custom loan that saves you a lot of money every single month.
00:59:02.060 And if they can't save you any money, they're just going to let you know.
00:59:05.020 It's what works best for you, for your goals.
00:59:09.320 Family-owned business that is still family-focused.
00:59:13.400 They never charge you any upfront or hidden fees.
00:59:16.080 Just the fax.
00:59:17.160 Call them now.
00:59:18.320 It's AmericanFinancing.net.
00:59:20.380 800-906-2440.
00:59:23.460 800-906-2440.
00:59:25.900 Or AmericanFinancing.net.
00:59:29.520 10 seconds.
00:59:30.440 Station ID.
00:59:35.020 So, Jack, do you feel we are close to war?
00:59:51.180 Well, you're obviously closer to war than we were just a few months ago, right?
00:59:56.700 Are we close to nuclear war?
00:59:58.520 You know, it's partially wishful thinking, but partially also there's some reality behind that, my believing that we're not that close.
01:00:11.720 I mean, Putin in his speech did not threaten nuclear, you know, exploding some nuclear missiles.
01:00:21.420 He was, it was like status quo.
01:00:24.100 Let's keep on going, you know?
01:00:25.920 And I believe this conflict is going to drag on for a long time.
01:00:31.640 Well, that's better than the alternative.
01:00:35.600 You bet.
01:00:36.420 But there's a secondary war here, and the secondary war is economic, right?
01:00:43.180 Because, you know, Western Europe is, I think, in great danger.
01:00:47.840 We, as the United States, economically are not as much in danger because we have all the natural resources.
01:00:53.360 Western Europe, if they can, they're so dependent on, with regard to their energy, that if that war drags out for a long time, they will be severely weakened.
01:01:06.060 Well, we're not doing anything with our energy.
01:01:09.220 And I tell you, Jack, I look at this and I think, if I were a, you know, former Soviet spy and still could think like the other side, I'd be thrilled with what America was doing right now.
01:01:24.060 We are dismantling ourselves.
01:01:26.780 You know, we have gas prices going through the roof.
01:01:29.020 If we haven't even hit the summer, you know, we could be at $5 a gallon for the summer and maybe $7 or $8 for trucks, which will just cripple the nation.
01:01:38.840 I just want to make one statement, which is not necessarily political because, you know, there's one thing about, you know, talking about the ideology that runs rampant in the Democrat Party.
01:01:54.640 But we are currently led by a bunch of people who don't know how to get things done.
01:02:02.580 They don't know how to execute.
01:02:05.040 And, you know, we're shooting ourselves in the foot.
01:02:08.000 And, you know, you know that the energy policy is driven by ideology, and that's global warming.
01:02:17.280 It's almost a religion.
01:02:18.780 Oh, yeah, it is.
01:02:20.560 Absolutely.
01:02:21.240 With Grada being the patron saint.
01:02:26.120 You know, you lived in East Germany.
01:02:29.560 How old were you when you left East Germany?
01:02:32.540 When I left East Germany, I was 26 because I went first to Moscow to improve my English.
01:02:41.480 And when I left, when I came to the United States, I was 29.
01:02:46.300 So you're 29 years old.
01:02:47.540 You were recruited by the KGB.
01:02:51.220 You were trained in all of these things.
01:02:56.420 And you, being from East Germany, I would assume, you know, you were very well aware of the spying that they did and the manipulation of people that they did.
01:03:07.600 Did you notice that?
01:03:08.700 Did you know that when you joined the KGB that they were patriotic kind of our side versus their side?
01:03:17.880 I was not, I was a patriot, but I also was a revolutionary.
01:03:23.940 I was going to contribute to, you know, build the paradise, the workers' paradise on earth.
01:03:31.420 And I was ideologically 100% behind the Soviet Union, East Germany, KGB, the Stasi, simply because of ignorance.
01:03:44.240 You know, this is what happens in a state where all communication is regulated and it's owned by the state.
01:03:53.800 But we never got the truth.
01:03:55.940 So that's where I want to pick up our conversation.
01:03:58.420 We'll come back, take a quick break.
01:03:59.940 I want to pick it up there.
01:04:00.940 What are the things that you saw in West, East Germany and Russia that you realized were bad that are seemingly starting up here?
01:04:14.360 Or am I mistaken?
01:04:16.000 Our conversation with Jack Barsky continues in just a minute.
01:04:22.500 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:04:25.300 Some causes are not conservative or liberal.
01:04:28.260 They're just American causes, and we should be contributing when we can.
01:04:34.800 There's a great cause, a great charity, Tunnel to Towers.
01:04:38.040 It's a foundation, and Charity Navigator rates them four out of four.
01:04:42.760 Since 9-11, Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been supporting America's heroes and their families.
01:04:48.740 And when a first responder or military service member doesn't come home and young children are left behind,
01:04:54.100 Tunnel to Towers pays off their mortgage to lift their financial burden and bring their family to stability.
01:05:00.260 They also enable severely injured heroes to live more independent lives with free smart homes.
01:05:07.080 And Operation Homebase, Tunnel to Towers is gifting tiny homes to homeless veterans.
01:05:12.880 These are our heroes.
01:05:14.280 These are the people that we should, as community members, be helping ourselves.
01:05:18.100 Join Tunnel to Towers on their mission to do good in their honor.

01:05:48.100 A guy I find absolutely fascinating is Jack Barsky.
01:05:59.480 He is a former Soviet spy that was arrested by the FBI, I think, around 1990-something.
01:06:07.420 Jack, what year was it the FBI stopped you?
01:06:11.640 I was not arrested, by the way.
01:06:13.880 I was detained.
01:06:14.800 Detained.
01:06:15.420 Okay.
01:06:16.360 There's a big difference.
01:06:17.460 Yeah, all right.
01:06:18.040 There is.
01:06:18.460 There is.
01:06:20.020 1997.
01:06:21.180 97.
01:06:21.920 Okay.
01:06:22.800 And his story is the audio documentary and podcast, The Agent, which, if you haven't listened
01:06:30.020 to, is great.
01:06:31.440 Just fantastic.
01:06:32.300 Listen to it.
01:06:33.380 So, Jack, you were born in East Germany, recruited by the KGB.
01:06:38.740 You assumed the identity of a U.S.-born citizen.
01:06:44.380 You spied here in the United States for 10 years on corporate America.
01:06:50.420 Then you became a trusted source for the FBI.
01:06:54.600 You started to, the Soviet story, if you will, the things that drove you as somebody who was
01:07:06.520 willing to go in and possibly lose their life for their country, started to fall apart.
01:07:12.240 It started crumbling when I entered the workforce as a professional, okay?
01:07:22.060 So, because then I became sort of a functioning member of American society, and all the things
01:07:29.680 that we were taught, how evil American corporations are, and how workers are being suppressed, turned
01:07:36.780 out to be just damn lies.
01:07:39.520 So, but that didn't necessarily make me an anti-communist right away.
01:07:45.980 You know, many other things had to happen, and what really triggered me finally doing some investigation
01:07:54.860 as to whether I knew the truth or not was when the Berlin Wall came down.
01:08:01.260 And that was at a time when the Internet was available to do research, and one by one, all
01:08:08.060 of these beliefs that I had fell apart.
01:08:12.220 So, I just withdrew.
01:08:14.500 At that point, I decided, you know, I'm just going to be a private citizen and not take any
01:08:22.640 more political stance.
01:08:23.740 But, then 9-11 happens, and, you know, and at that point, you know, I became emotionally
01:08:32.640 an American, and what actually made me a fan of the United States as it was initially constructed
01:08:41.700 is I took a 10-part online course on the American Constitution.
01:08:46.760 Wow.
01:08:47.960 Wow.
01:08:48.600 And, to me, that is the most brilliant political document I have ever read and heard about.
01:08:55.340 It is.
01:08:56.120 It is.
01:08:56.800 It's phenomenal.
01:08:57.400 So, Jack, when you see things like the truth panel or disinformation panel from the DHS or
01:09:08.260 the violence on the street that's called, you know, a protest or just vandals, and yet January
01:09:17.020 6th are terrorists and held with some of them without charge now for over a year, we now
01:09:24.600 have Twitter and Facebook and Google monitoring things and editing things.
01:09:31.260 Teachers unions now are demanding more censorship from Facebook.
01:09:37.540 Does this ring a bell to you at all?
01:09:39.840 Yeah, well, I told you that, you know, I was fundamentally brainwashed.
01:09:47.000 And the bottom line is, in a country, in a society where you control the message, you
01:09:52.960 will be in charge.
01:09:54.780 And, you know, our messages were totally controlled.
01:10:00.180 Putin manages to control the messages in his country.
01:10:04.040 Not 100 percent, there's some leakage.
01:10:08.280 And at this point, there's the left in cahoots with the media, in cahoots with big tech, is
01:10:18.440 working on taking control of the message universe.
01:10:23.820 It's not that easy in our country.
01:10:26.280 You know, you're still on the air.
01:10:27.680 Yeah.
01:10:27.860 And, you know, Elon Musk has just bought Twitter.
01:10:33.480 It's not that easy.
01:10:34.560 We are a rebellious nation.
01:10:37.060 We are contrarians.
01:10:39.640 We want to hear the other side.
01:10:42.820 But it's a slippery slope.
01:10:45.920 And if it doesn't get reversed, goodbye the country that was once America.
01:10:53.580 How do you convince people, a new generation that are being indoctrinated, how do you convince
01:11:04.760 them of freedom of speech that actually means you have to tolerate the other side?
01:11:12.980 Honestly, I don't have an answer.
01:11:15.160 And this is where this is really what is the most, the biggest danger, the root cause of
01:11:23.080 why it is quite reasonable to be pessimistic here.
01:11:28.060 We are already into the second generation of Americans that have been raised, educated
01:11:37.160 in high school and college by leftists.
01:11:40.340 And, you know, it started, you know, with the anti-Vietnam War, Vietnam movement, where
01:11:53.700 a whole bunch of students became radicalized with left-wing ideas.
01:12:01.480 And they became college professors.
01:12:03.700 And they raised and they taught the next generation of teachers.
01:12:06.980 So it's very difficult to run up against prejudices in young minds that, you know, that were planted
01:12:19.920 as they were young.
01:12:21.500 I have proof of that because when I went back to East Germany, to Germany after so many years,
01:12:31.560 and I had discussions with, you know, contemporaries, you know, folks that I went to school and
01:12:40.040 college with, you think they have been able to shed all their communist ideology?
01:12:46.400 No.
01:12:47.500 What is planted in you as a young person is very difficult to reverse.
01:12:54.960 I had the luxury of a slow and painless decontamination.
01:13:03.320 Most of my friends and classmates in Germany did not.
01:13:10.180 And so, and that is the reason I'm worried about, you know, the future of this country because
01:13:16.060 I don't, I really don't know how you, it would be, you know, all of us free thinkers
01:13:25.820 would have to, like, make an effort and work on the young people that we are, you know,
01:13:33.320 that we are in contact with and we might be influenced, be able to influence, but it takes
01:13:39.940 a huge effort and all of us need to participate in that.
01:13:45.040 If you had, if your children, you have one child, right?
01:13:50.380 Altogether, I have five.
01:13:51.840 You have five.
01:13:52.880 Good for you.
01:13:53.700 Yeah.
01:13:53.900 If your children, if your children were school age, would you have them in our schools today?
01:14:04.880 Well, I have one of them.
01:14:06.500 She's school age and she has never been in a public school and she will not be in a public
01:14:11.280 school.
01:14:12.160 She, she is currently enrolled in a Christian school where interestingly enough, they teach
01:14:18.600 how to think and how to argue and how to make, and how to, you know, how to, you know, just
01:14:24.620 like, they, they, they do exactly the opposite of what, you know, Christian schools are being,
01:14:30.700 but yes, and also what, you know, the, the rest of society thinks that what's happening
01:14:36.520 in Christian schools where they, they teach nothing but memorizing the Bible.
01:14:43.240 Jack, thank you so much for talking to us and I really appreciate it and I've really
01:14:48.040 enjoyed, uh, not only your book, but also your podcast.
01:14:51.000 It's really quite riveting.
01:14:52.580 Very, very good.
01:14:53.440 Well, thank you so much.
01:14:54.900 And I appreciate, uh, you know, how you actually positioned, uh, me at the beginning of the
01:15:00.000 program.
01:15:00.600 Oh, I'm very great.
01:15:01.740 Grateful for that.
01:15:02.560 Thank you.
01:15:02.860 You're very kind, Jack, Jack Barsky, former Soviet spy.
01:15:06.460 Um, he is also the storyline of the agent, the podcast audio documentary and the author
01:15:13.640 of deep undercover.
01:15:14.920 He was a guy that, uh, was one of the consultants on the Americans.
01:15:20.920 If you've never seen that, uh, it's, it's quite an amazing, uh, series, uh, as well.
01:15:28.560 Jack Barsky, again, a good friend of the Glenn Beck program.
01:15:33.580 So what are you paying, uh, for your cell phone every single month?
01:15:39.200 Expensive.
01:15:39.720 How much of that money is actually going to help Planned Parenthood?
01:15:45.140 Do you know how much of it would you want it to go to help Planned Parenthood?
01:15:50.380 Yeah.
01:15:50.820 My guess is zero.
01:15:52.740 And, uh, that's why I'm not with Verizon.
01:15:55.620 I don't want any of my money going to far left, uh, activities.
01:16:00.260 And, uh, you know, they have a right to do whatever they want with their money, but I
01:16:05.080 put some of that money into it.
01:16:06.520 So I don't want my money going there.
01:16:08.080 And I don't want my money supporting people that are trying to tear everything down that
01:16:12.360 we believe in.
01:16:13.880 That's why I have Patriot Mobile.

01:16:48.760 So I don't know if you saw what Elon Musk posted.
01:17:07.360 He posted a screenshot of a translated message, uh, from Moscow's space chief.
01:17:14.820 Uh, and it said, from the testimony of the captured commander of the 36th Marine Brigade
01:17:19.880 of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Dmitry Korman, Kormaninov, uh, it turns out the internet
01:17:27.340 terminals of Elon Musk's Starlink satellite company were delivered to the militants of the
01:17:33.300 Nazi Azov Battalion.
01:17:36.160 According to our information, the delivery of the Starlink equipment was carried out by the
01:17:40.220 Pentagon.
01:17:40.600 Elon Musk, thus, is involved in supplying the fascist forces in Ukraine with military
01:17:48.220 communication equipment.
01:17:49.940 And for this, Elon, you will be held accountable.
01:17:55.600 Like an adult, no matter how much you play the fool.
01:17:59.500 First, Elon, uh, tweeted, the word Nazi doesn't seem to mean what he thinks it means, which
01:18:08.820 I love.
01:18:10.360 Uh, and then he said, if I die under mysterious circumstances, it's been nice knowing you.
01:18:16.500 This guy has made enemies of everybody.
01:18:22.060 Absolutely everybody.
01:18:24.440 Uh, you know, powerful.
01:18:28.720 Can you imagine if somebody took him out?
01:18:31.820 If, I mean, would you know who it was?
01:18:34.780 No, everybody seems to be, uh, upset with him in one way or another.
01:18:40.700 I mean, what he's done in Ukraine is amazing.
01:18:43.100 I mean, forget about, obviously the, the, the, uh, the thing here is for the Russians to point
01:18:48.860 out that the military is using the internet here to communicate.
01:18:52.580 But I mean, honestly, just for the average person who, uh, you know, the internet would
01:18:57.420 be toast in Ukraine, if not for, for Elon Musk, just for the regular people to be able
01:19:03.460 to access information, it would be gone.
01:19:06.140 If not for Elon Musk, uh, who just decided, uh, to act in a way that, uh, you know, remarkable
01:19:11.500 before what a year ago would not have been possible.
01:19:14.520 Yeah.
01:19:14.840 Did you hear, did you ever see these satellites over your head, Glenn?
01:19:18.240 You ever see the Starlink satellites go back?
01:19:19.900 No, I haven't.
01:19:20.380 It looks like Santa Claus.
01:19:22.000 There's like a long, in the middle of the night, I looked up one night and I was like,
01:19:25.420 what the hell is before I knew Elon Musk was even doing this?
01:19:28.260 Yeah.
01:19:28.880 What is that?
01:19:29.460 And it's like a long string of satellites, like seemingly that go on forever and they
01:19:35.260 just come across the sky, all like spaced evenly apart and just go across the sky.
01:19:39.940 It's really weird to see.
01:19:41.520 So up in the, uh, up at my ranch, uh, I just put Starlink in and we just tested it over the
01:19:48.980 weekend to see how stable it is.
01:19:51.900 Uh, it's completely stable.
01:19:53.880 And the, um, the word from my chief engineer was somehow or another, he has seemingly, uh,
01:20:04.940 solved or affected the light speed problem because he's cut delays back like a phenomenal
01:20:14.900 amount to where, you know, you and I, when I'm up the ranch, we have a hard time talking
01:20:19.900 to each other on air because it's the satellites are so slow.
01:20:24.880 Um, he says he's cut it in half.
01:20:28.960 That's really great.
01:20:29.900 It's an amazing, amazing device.
01:20:32.440 And listen to this.
01:20:33.820 This is from the director of electronic warfare at the office of the secretary of defense.
01:20:39.060 Okay.
01:20:39.760 This guy is in charge of our electronic warfare.
01:20:43.260 He said, uh, Starlink was able to fight off the attack faster than the U S military could
01:20:50.060 have been able to, and that officials need to learn something from Musk.
01:20:54.240 Starlink had slung a line of code and fixed it.
01:20:58.280 Um, uh, noting that the quick change rendered the attack, not effective.
01:21:03.160 How they did that was why, uh, eye watering to me.
01:21:07.460 There's really an interesting case to study and look at the agility that Starlink had in
01:21:14.000 their ability to address this problem in the way that Starlink was able to upgrade when
01:21:19.540 a threat showed up.
01:21:21.160 We need to have that agility.
01:21:23.680 That's the United States government.
01:21:26.140 It's amazing.
01:21:27.000 And I keep seeing these pieces written by people talking about Elon Musk taking over Twitter
01:21:31.380 that look, I mean, there's a lot of hubbub here, but what's he really going to do?
01:21:35.880 Well, there's not going to be much of a change.
01:21:37.440 Oh, I think what business has Elon Musk touched that there wasn't a huge change in.
01:21:41.720 Yeah.
01:21:42.160 I mean, this is what he does.
01:21:43.620 He, when he takes over a business like this or starts one, he revolutionizes the industry.
01:21:49.580 Yeah.
01:21:49.840 And there, I don't think there's any reason to believe he's not going to attempt and
01:21:52.920 very well succeed and try to do the same at Twitter.
01:21:55.020 If we have, if we have time, we should talk about it.
01:21:57.700 Cause he laid out some of his plan on Twitter, what he's going to do.
01:22:02.000 Uh, it starts with laying off or firing a thousand employees.
01:22:06.420 Uh, and then he's going to go back and he's going to hire more engineering people that no
01:22:11.020 word on if he's hiring more content regulators.
01:22:14.160 Um, but, uh, uh, and then he's going to introduce something called, uh, Twitter blue.
01:22:20.700 Well, yeah.
01:22:21.980 Well, if Twitter blue already exists, right?
01:22:23.720 No, no.
01:22:24.120 He wants to, I guess it does.
01:22:25.620 I'm sorry, but he wants to build up the subscriptions to Twitter blue.
01:22:29.080 Yes.
01:22:29.740 So he wants to make sure that people are doing that because he said, that's the way to protect
01:22:34.880 the speech.
01:22:35.300 Cause we won't have any sponsors.
01:22:37.340 You don't have to worry about it.
01:22:38.140 You don't have to worry about it.
01:22:39.480 Or you have sponsors that don't mind what people say.
01:22:42.600 I would absolutely pay a reasonable monthly fee to get a better experience on Twitter.
01:22:49.000 That isn't, you know, choreographed by a bunch of crazy leftists.
01:22:53.920 I would love that.
01:22:55.200 Me too.
01:22:55.540 To actually see what's actually trending.
01:22:57.900 Yeah, I would back in a minute.
01:23:00.620 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:23:27.900 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:23:50.660 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:23:56.500 Hey, this is going to, this is going to be a surprise to you, but California says it needs
01:24:03.760 more power to be able to keep the lights on this summer.
01:24:07.760 Yeah.
01:24:08.760 Yeah.
01:24:08.880 Yeah.
01:24:09.540 Yeah.
01:24:09.600 And other states are starting to join in going, we might be headed towards a problem because
01:24:17.080 we keep shutting down plants before we're ready to shut them down.
01:24:22.020 Who would have seen this coming?
01:24:24.600 Who would have seen this coming?
01:24:26.600 Besides everybody.
01:24:29.200 All right.
01:24:31.540 Let me tell you about rough greens.
01:24:32.580 Patricia wrote in about her dog's experience with rough greens.
01:24:35.360 I put rough greens on my cockapoo's food.
01:24:39.220 Yeah.
01:24:40.960 Don't think I could do a cockapoo just for the name.
01:24:43.660 Just don't think I could do it.
01:24:45.480 He now eats early in the day.
01:24:48.100 He used to eat like that when he was a puppy.
01:24:50.880 Now he's like a puppy again.
01:24:52.080 He's 10 years old, but he has a lot more energy now and he doesn't itch as much as
01:24:57.880 he was itching before.
01:24:59.580 Seems to be perfect for him.
01:25:02.740 He licks the bowl clean every time.
01:25:04.960 Rough greens, not a dog food.
01:25:06.100 It's something you put on your dog's food and it's full of probiotics and antioxidants
01:25:10.240 and all of these things.
01:25:12.320 It's, um, it's rough greens, rough greens.
01:25:15.160 They're so confident your dog's going to love it that they have a special deal for you.
01:25:17.960 Just go to roughgreens.com slash back and they'll give you your first bag free.
01:25:22.560 All you pay for is shipping.
01:25:24.420 So you have nothing to lose.
01:25:26.000 It's rough greens.
01:25:26.880 R U F F greens.
01:25:27.980 Dot com slash back.
01:25:29.380 Call 8 3 3 G L E N N 33.
01:25:32.260 That's 8 3 3 Glenn 33 or roughgreens.com slash back.
01:25:37.200 California energy officials on Friday issued a sober forecast for the state's electrical grid.
01:25:43.780 They're saying now it lacks sufficient capacity to keep the lights on this summer and beyond
01:25:52.320 if heat waves and wildfires or other extreme events take their toll.
01:25:58.740 May I just ask Californians, do you actually think that heat waves and wildfires, uh, are
01:26:09.200 unexpected, extreme events because as an outsider, it seems like every summer we go through this.
01:26:19.580 And when I say we go through this, you go through this, but then we have to watch it and hear
01:26:26.360 all about all of the problems.
01:26:27.880 And yeah, some of us go out, not me, but some of us go out to actually help put the fires
01:26:36.860 out and everything else.
01:26:39.160 And here you go to say, this is crazy.
01:26:42.560 This is, you know, it's global warming.
01:26:44.940 No, it's really not.
01:26:46.180 It's mismanagement of your forests, uh, for one.
01:26:49.660 Uh, and you don't save any water, you know, and when you have rolling blackouts, it's not
01:26:59.980 the trees fault.
01:27:02.160 Whose fault is it yours?
01:27:05.480 Because you refuse to build any kind of reservoir for water or any electrical plant, but you feel
01:27:13.860 so good about yourself, don't you?
01:27:15.420 Cause we don't have a single coal fire plant, not one coal fire plant in California, yet
01:27:21.500 most of your electricity still coming from coal fire plants, just in another state.
01:27:27.240 Oh my gosh.
01:27:28.380 These people make me want to vomit as long as I don't see it, as long as it doesn't view
01:27:34.260 the view of block, the view of the mountains.
01:27:36.920 You know, I don't want any of that smog here.
01:27:39.080 We'd have smog in, in Nevada or Utah or one of those other bordering states.
01:27:44.940 I don't even know what they are.
01:27:46.440 They're so racist and bigoted.
01:27:48.440 I hate them.
01:27:50.040 I don't mind if you build 25 coal power plants over there.
01:27:54.760 As long as we don't have the smog.
01:27:57.140 Oh, this comes from the, the, the California beaches that have the oil rigs right off the
01:28:02.480 shore.
01:28:03.460 Oh yeah.
01:28:04.100 Which I think actually looks pretty cool.
01:28:05.780 I gotta be honest with you.
01:28:06.880 I think it looks, I mean, you know, like you get the idea.
01:28:09.720 There's a lot of water out there.
01:28:10.740 That's the normal ocean view.
01:28:11.860 You got some stuff to look at.
01:28:12.860 I think it looks pretty cool, frankly.
01:28:15.120 But yeah, no, it's a big, I mean, look, fossil fuels still dominate this country.
01:28:19.320 It's, I mean, coal has come down quite a bit over the past few years, but natural gas has
01:28:23.340 replaced it.
01:28:24.360 So yes, it's a cleaner fossil fuel, but it is still a fossil fuel.
01:28:28.660 So they had an online briefing, um, and the officials are now forecasting a potential
01:28:35.120 shortfall of 1700 megawatts this year.
01:28:40.360 And they say, if there's something unexpected, like a forest fire, not really extreme, not
01:28:51.020 unexpected.
01:28:51.620 Just want to say, they say it could go as high as 5,000 megawatts.
01:28:57.780 So that's a lot of Watts.
01:28:59.960 That's enough to put a, about 4 million people in the dark without electricity.
01:29:06.160 Yeah.
01:29:06.880 Yeah.
01:29:07.620 So, hmm.
01:29:09.080 Oh, and there's, by the way, they also say your energy prices are going to increase in
01:29:15.540 California, uh, between four and 9%.
01:29:19.720 I think if they're, if that's what they're saying, it'll be closer to 12 to 80%, but maybe
01:29:29.800 that's just me.
01:29:31.000 Now, there is a, uh, another group saying, Hey, maybe we should slow down on this whole
01:29:37.700 thing.
01:29:38.500 Uh, and, uh, uh, and that would be Jack bear, the CEO of me.
01:29:44.160 So he came out yesterday and he said, as we move forward, um, know that when you put a
01:29:52.040 solar panel or a wind turbine up, it's not the same as a thermal resource.
01:30:01.000 Like coal or gas, he says, the issue on the rise throughout the country and all throughout
01:30:09.700 the West is many traditional and nuclear power plants are being retired to make way for the
01:30:17.260 renewable sources of energy, but the plants are being turned off faster than the renewable
01:30:23.640 energy and battery storage can keep up.
01:30:28.300 John, did you say that?
01:30:31.000 Come on.
01:30:32.380 I thought you were smarter than this.
01:30:34.740 We have magic fairy dust.
01:30:36.160 That's going to make everything work in, in your, in your craziest, busiest kids are screaming.
01:30:45.300 You're really pissed off.
01:30:47.160 Cause you're also hungry kind of moment.
01:30:51.280 Somebody says to you, Hey, I got an idea.
01:30:54.600 We're going to build these solar panels and things, uh, and wind power.
01:30:59.560 Uh, and that should be a few years in the future.
01:31:02.440 Should we turn off the nuclear power plant?
01:31:06.900 At the height of the screaming of the kids, you're like, no, and don't bother me.
01:31:13.860 Okay.
01:31:14.580 Don't you really?
01:31:15.480 I mean, it's pretty logical.
01:31:18.320 Wouldn't it be nice if we had both, if we had the solar and the wind and we kept that
01:31:28.440 nuclear power plant running just in case we need it.
01:31:31.820 Of course, that'll never happen because there's never a need for it.
01:31:34.300 There's never a spike because of a heat wave or a forest fire or a mudslide or an earthquake.
01:31:42.380 There's no, it'll never happen.
01:31:45.280 Why keep the other power plant running very low so you could crank it if you needed it?
01:31:54.400 That's an interesting question.
01:31:55.580 All I know is that all of this talk has convinced me even more to fully convert our economy to
01:32:02.000 electric cars because what could possibly go wrong with California?
01:32:07.320 You know what kills me is Elon Musk is even coming out going, we can't do this.
01:32:11.080 Stop it.
01:32:11.660 I mean, he's the guy to, he's leading the charge.
01:32:16.400 He's the guy that has become the richest guy in the world for pushing this stuff.
01:32:22.480 And he's even like, slow down.
01:32:26.560 Even he's saying, hey, we may need to develop our fossil fuels for the near future, considering
01:32:31.980 the global economic consequences and problems that we're having with energy.
01:32:38.360 So a guy who honestly is what I would refer to as an environmental extremist is even coming
01:32:46.060 out and saying that stuff.
01:32:47.140 Well, he's only an extremist because he built a car company that really had no place to charge
01:32:56.240 when he first started, you know, to charge the batteries.
01:32:59.580 And then he's building rocket ships to go to Mars to get away from Earth because it's yeah.
01:33:06.600 But other than that, he's not an extremist, not an extremist.
01:33:10.320 I bet he's not pro-life.
01:33:13.360 So the next story that you probably should pay attention to is diesel.
01:33:18.800 We've been talking about this in the last couple of weeks.
01:33:21.200 This is very important.
01:33:23.660 Diesel fuel is the fuel that powers the economy.
01:33:29.280 Now, how does that work?
01:33:31.380 Well, let's start over in China.
01:33:36.200 You want something from Chad?
01:33:39.620 You have to put it onto a big boat, a slow boat from China.
01:33:43.520 And that's powered by diesel.
01:33:48.500 Then it gets to our docks here.
01:33:51.420 And, you know, all of those big cranes and everything else that take that crap off of the ship
01:33:57.200 and then put it on the ground.
01:34:00.420 Run by diesel.
01:34:01.800 And then the forklifts that come and pick it up and then bring it over to the train.
01:34:06.980 Those run on diesel.
01:34:08.440 And then the train, those engines run on diesel.
01:34:13.300 And then the trucks that get it halfway across the country from the train,
01:34:19.340 they're picked up again by the forklifts run by diesel.
01:34:23.780 And then they're put into a truck also run by diesel.
01:34:29.360 I love these people like I'm not going to have to worry about anything because I have a Tesla.
01:34:34.820 Yeah, I certainly hope that that grocery store that has food is within 400 miles of you.
01:34:43.980 Because I don't think it will when all the diesel dries up.
01:34:49.040 East Coast stockpiles are at their lowest since 1996.
01:34:54.400 Diesel and jet fuel at New York Harbor are now $200 a barrel.
01:35:00.240 Europe's move away from Russian energy is also hastening the rapid price appreciation.
01:35:09.720 They are now bringing in 700,000 barrels a day of diesel from Russia.
01:35:16.660 But they want to get out of that.
01:35:18.680 You know, don't we all?
01:35:20.020 Don't we all want to get out of that?
01:35:22.140 But maybe we should have a plan before we stop doing stuff.
01:35:28.320 They say that the rates for diesel are up now 90%.
01:35:36.060 Not a big deal.
01:35:37.600 Not a big deal.
01:35:39.560 They're making biofuel now.
01:35:42.360 They're reconfiguring all of these refineries that don't worry.
01:35:46.040 We haven't built a new refinery since when?
01:35:48.180 1972?
01:35:50.060 I got to believe those things are nimble.
01:35:52.040 You know, there's no activity.
01:35:54.600 Seriously, if you bought a TV or a cell phone, well, there were no cell phones, a TV in 1972.
01:36:04.000 Are you telling me you wouldn't be getting the same crisp picture today that you could get, you know, at a Walmart for a hundred bucks?
01:36:13.780 I don't think so.
01:36:16.000 There's no technology that hasn't been, you know, just made better since 1972.
01:36:24.960 So here's what's happening.
01:36:26.880 These refineries are trying to, that don't make diesel, are now trying to retool to make diesel.
01:36:33.420 But they make, what?
01:36:35.560 Say it with me.
01:36:36.520 Gasoline.
01:36:37.160 And you know why everybody gets, why gas goes up?
01:36:41.260 Because of California, some of these refineries, they retool so they could make special blends for everybody.
01:36:51.560 And that causes problems.
01:36:54.020 Well, now a lot of our refineries are trying to retool so they can make trucks or, you know, or put the fuel in the trucks or the tractors of something called farms.
01:37:08.380 And that's going to cause our gasoline to go up.
01:37:13.900 I bet this summer, I bet we're paying over five bucks a gallon.
01:37:18.760 And God only knows where diesel is going to be.
01:37:20.920 I saw, you know, I was driving this weekend and saw the diesel prices.
01:37:25.280 They're stunning.
01:37:26.100 They're over five dollars a gallon now.
01:37:28.280 Oh, yeah.
01:37:28.700 I think they're close to six now.
01:37:30.160 I saw this weekend and this is in like middle of nowhere, Oklahoma.
01:37:34.660 And it was like five sixty a gallon.
01:37:36.720 I can't even imagine what these guys are paying.
01:37:39.040 Yeah.
01:37:39.160 Go to the East Coast.
01:37:40.660 I mean, what could it be?
01:37:41.620 Right.
01:37:41.860 I don't even know.
01:37:42.580 I mean, it's got to be completely ridiculous.
01:37:44.860 But this is going to, you know, they like it at the Biden administration because it's going to help people transition.
01:37:49.860 You know, first, we won't have any real electricity.
01:37:56.560 We won't have enough.
01:37:57.400 We'll have those rolling brownouts all across the country, which I think Americans are going to be cool with.
01:38:02.560 You know, I think we're really going to be cool with that.
01:38:06.280 I think I really honestly, without any sarcasm, I really think that they are building their own hangman stand.
01:38:16.520 I really do.
01:38:17.680 I think the left is pushing this country so fast, so quickly into things that are really insanity.
01:38:26.460 And everybody's going to pay for it that I think they're going to look and say, get out, get out, get out.
01:38:34.660 I think they're going to actually push the global warming thing even back because people are going to be so angry at what they're being what they're being told they have to pay.
01:38:47.800 That I think these people are going to be voted out as long as we still have free and fair elections.
01:38:53.120 These people are going to be voted out because Americans are not going to put up with five dollar a gallon gasoline and just take it.
01:39:02.400 They're not.
01:39:03.320 They can't.
01:39:04.220 It's fascinating, too.
01:39:05.160 Like, who is the biggest?
01:39:07.180 You have the left saying global warming is this huge, huge crisis.
01:39:10.220 It's the worst thing in the world.
01:39:11.280 And yet, who are the people that are constantly attacking Elon Musk?
01:39:16.820 It's not conservatives.
01:39:18.240 Conservatives are like, hey, this guy is, you know, we don't always agree with his climate stuff, but man, he's a pretty amazing guy and he's helping people and he's helping people.
01:39:26.940 He's made the electric car something that people actually want to buy.
01:39:30.360 Same thing on the other side with the real solution here.
01:39:34.820 If you needed to solve global warming and have a zero emission electricity option, it would be nuclear.
01:39:40.420 And yet, who are the people constantly attacking nuclear?
01:39:44.020 It's the Democrats.
01:39:44.860 It's the left.
01:39:45.580 It's not us.
01:39:46.340 We're the ones encouraging it.
01:39:47.640 We want it to be developed and they're shutting it down.
01:39:50.040 And if you had nuclear, you could you could make an endless supply of hydrogen in the off hours.
01:39:58.420 When people are sleeping, you keep the plant running same level and you just make hydrogen.
01:40:05.260 You have an endless support of clean zero emissions energy that you can clearly get and make more every single day.
01:40:17.160 It's insanity.
01:40:19.040 You can use that would be you could use that for hydrogen vehicles if those were developed and then would be obviously in this situation or electric cars.
01:40:26.240 They're like, I mean, you also have the electric.
01:40:28.240 You'd have enough to go with the electric cars.
01:40:29.980 You wouldn't need all of the craziness that they're trying to do now.
01:40:33.260 So why is that?
01:40:36.280 Why is this isn't about anything except killing capitalism, killing the West?
01:40:43.200 It's it's clear there are two solutions and they're all rolled into one nuclear energy.
01:40:50.260 I just saw this documentary, a scariest damn documentary I've ever seen about Three Mile Island.
01:40:56.060 My gosh, you would think that it was nothing but killed a million children.
01:41:01.540 But how did you make Three Mile Island scary?
01:41:04.300 Because the maximum radiation was the set was the equivalent of a full set of chest X-rays.
01:41:10.380 No, still.
01:41:11.140 Oh, my gosh.
01:41:11.720 To any citizen.
01:41:12.620 Oh, my gosh.
01:41:12.820 You got to watch the documentary.
01:41:14.120 No, they never get down to exactly how much has been released.
01:41:18.460 Oh, that's not part of the documentary.
01:41:21.260 It was radiation that was released.
01:41:23.540 Yeah.
01:41:24.080 Yeah.
01:41:24.320 It's ridiculous.
01:41:25.560 Anyway, let me tell you about Goldline.
01:41:28.220 Wow.
01:41:29.480 You remember when inflation was in?
01:41:33.160 Yeah, it was really in back in the 70s.
01:41:35.740 And it's really in again.
01:41:37.920 Inflation, the government will tell you, that is running around 9%.
01:41:42.140 No, no.
01:41:43.720 Well, the shadow stats where you can actually, you know, gauge, you actually include things like gas and rent, food, things like that.
01:41:54.160 It shows that it's running at about 18%.
01:41:57.940 Congratulations.
01:41:59.760 Ask Forbes.
01:42:01.200 Ask Forbes.
01:42:02.260 GDP growth is negative and inflation is running high.
01:42:07.160 Basic smart investment strategy.
01:42:10.220 If the dollar is getting weaker, invest in whatever is it's weaker than.
01:42:14.700 Commodities are now like precious metals.

01:42:24.900 Gold will not get more and more expensive.
01:42:28.080 It's that the dollar is getting cheaper and cheaper, so it can't buy as much.

01:43:44.040 Stand by.
01:43:45.220 And my computer is frozen, so the thing we were going to do here is not going to happen.
01:43:49.240 Oh, really?
01:43:49.840 Obviously.
01:43:50.100 That's a problem with your computer.
01:43:51.380 I think you just, I think you abuse your computer.
01:43:54.640 I never have a problem with mine, ever.
01:43:56.900 Mine likes me.
01:43:58.160 Well, I don't.
01:44:00.700 Like you.
01:44:01.420 Oh, okay.
01:44:04.720 Well, that kind of makes me feel bad.
01:44:06.700 But we're going to go over your personal inflation here in a little while.
01:44:11.600 Also, the food facility fires.
01:44:14.400 Have you heard this?
01:44:15.560 That food processing plants are all catching fire.
01:44:20.520 Want to give you some perspective on this.
01:44:22.120 It's coming up in just a second.
01:44:23.980 Stand by.
01:44:35.200 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:44:38.080 So, I believe in the next couple of years, millions are going to die from starvation.
01:44:46.140 I believe our leadership all over the world knows that as well.
01:44:50.740 We're not going to have starvation deaths, I hope not here, in America, but we'll have hard times.
01:44:57.760 But there are parts of the world that will actually starve to death because of what we are doing right now.
01:45:06.140 May I suggest that you prepare for any hard times ahead by getting some emergency food.
01:45:14.900 If food shortages really get bad here in America, are you prepared for it?
01:45:23.240 Are you even just prepared for losing your job or things just getting so expensive?

01:45:56.160 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:46:11.200 Your personal inflation rate coming up in just a second.
01:46:15.380 I want to share with you from National Review and Jim Garrity.
01:46:19.360 There is a great story on the food facility fires.
01:46:24.560 I've been asked about this over and over again, and we looked into it, and it doesn't seem to be out of the normal, believe it or not.
01:46:38.260 Now, there are some things that, well, for instance, National Review writes,
01:46:43.600 In a typical year, how many plane crashes do we have into food processing plants?
01:46:48.540 What's your guess?
01:46:50.060 How many planes crash into a food processing plant?
01:46:53.620 I mean, say seven a week.
01:46:56.080 Yeah.
01:46:56.280 300.
01:46:56.740 No, none.
01:46:57.600 Yeah, none.
01:46:58.480 Okay, zero.
01:46:59.400 A bad year, maybe.
01:47:01.300 One.
01:47:01.720 One.
01:47:02.080 Okay, so, so far this year, we've had two.
01:47:05.580 That's.
01:47:06.440 Okay.
01:47:07.080 That's May.
01:47:08.380 Yeah.
01:47:08.980 And so you would think, hmm, there's something wrong.
01:47:12.660 But two, I mean, it's really unlikely, but okay.
01:47:15.340 Okay.
01:47:15.700 Maybe.
01:47:16.360 Okay.
01:47:16.640 I don't know.
01:47:16.960 All right.
01:47:17.420 So let's look at everything that's been happening.
01:47:19.740 A plane crashed into an Idaho potato and food processing plant, killing the pilot.
01:47:24.860 But police say Gem Strait processing in Hayburn, East Idaho, at about 835 in the morning on
01:47:33.060 Wednesday, the pilot was the only person in the plane and died during the crash.
01:47:37.260 Police said none of the employees at the processing plant were injured.
01:47:41.060 Okay.
01:47:41.220 So it had to be a kamikaze food plant guy, okay, because he flew the plane into the plant.
01:47:47.380 Then, just a couple of weeks later, Covington, Georgia, firefighters responded to a plane crash
01:47:53.640 that killed two people Thursday at the General Mills food processing plant.
01:47:58.880 The small plane crashed apparently after taking off from a runway at the Covington Municipal
01:48:03.920 Airport.
01:48:04.920 Six tractor trailers were damaged as a result of the crash.
01:48:08.820 Both occupants of the plane died.
01:48:10.880 However, local officials were grateful the plane did not strike the plant building, which
01:48:15.360 could have resulted in greater loss of life.
01:48:17.860 So, if you want to go for the plane crash idea, yeah, two plane crashes in or near food processing
01:48:29.300 plants is weird.
01:48:31.220 It is weird.
01:48:32.900 But, well, let me go on.
01:48:36.340 February 5th, massive, these are the headlines, massive fire swept through Wisconsin River Meats
01:48:42.300 on Thursday, destroying part of the facility.
01:48:46.640 Then, February 22nd, the Shears Food Plant in Hermiston, Oregon, caught fire after a propane
01:48:52.340 boiler exploded.
01:48:53.920 March 17th, a structure fire at the Walmart Distribution Center in Plainville, Indiana, broke
01:48:59.360 out about noon on Wednesday.
01:49:01.500 A thousand employees were inside, but none were injured.
01:49:05.160 One firefighter suffered minor injuries.
01:49:07.580 March 22nd, a fire broke out at a Nestle Hot Pockets plant in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
01:49:16.220 It happened on March 16th.
01:49:18.900 The facility was still closed as of March 21st.
01:49:22.080 March 25th, officials believe a deep frying machine is behind the fire that destroyed a
01:49:28.100 potato processing facility in Belfast.
01:49:31.520 April 13th, firefighters from several departments in Maine helped battle a massive fire.
01:49:37.280 That destroyed a butcher shop and meat market in Center Conway, New Hampshire.
01:49:42.400 And April 30th, soybean processing tank caught fire at the Purdue Farms plant in Chesapeake,
01:49:48.500 Virginia.
01:49:49.460 Okay.
01:49:51.240 I mean, that's a lot, right?
01:49:54.680 That's a lot.
01:49:56.080 Okay.
01:49:56.320 So here's how we have looked at it.
01:49:59.140 And this is exactly the way Jim Garrity has looked at it.
01:50:02.360 Not all the fires or crashes did significant damage.
01:50:07.360 In the Chesapeake soybean facility fire, the plant manager said the fire had little to no
01:50:12.480 impact on their operations.
01:50:15.120 In the Georgia crash, the plane didn't hit the building.
01:50:18.560 No employees were harmed.
01:50:20.060 And General Mills spokesperson said the plant didn't experience any disruption and remains
01:50:25.640 fully operational.
01:50:26.900 Uh, the pilot in that crash, by the way, was identified as a student pilot.
01:50:32.320 And the other person was the flight instructor.
01:50:34.820 So, I mean, unless it was some sort of anti food processing plant flight instructor that took
01:50:45.640 that plane down and missed the plant, uh, that's probably not one to count.
01:50:51.440 Second, none of the fires so far have been declared cases of arson.
01:50:56.040 This is really important because I, you know, I went looking at these and I thought to myself,
01:51:00.960 I don't know, that seems like a lot.
01:51:03.740 Um, but when we really started looking, none of them have been deemed arson.
01:51:08.980 Um, the, um, uh, and that's from coast to coast.
01:51:14.000 If any of them had been deemed arson, if two of them, I would have been like, well, let's
01:51:18.920 look into this, um, in any given year, there are half a million fires reported to local
01:51:23.760 fire departments.
01:51:24.560 About 5,300 of them are manufacturing or processing facilities that comes to about 440 per month.
01:51:33.540 And if there are fires in 440 manufacturing or processing facilities a month from coast
01:51:39.580 to coast, wouldn't we expect at least a handful of these to be at food processing facilities?
01:51:46.300 In fact, the list, uh, above stretches the definition of food processing facilities because
01:51:52.960 the Walmart distribution center also stored clothes and cardboard and the new Hampshire
01:51:58.160 fire happened at a local butcher shop.
01:52:01.180 Third, if you were a terrorist or a foreign agent or somebody in the deep state choke attempting
01:52:07.540 to choke off the American food distribution network, would you start with a potato chip maker
01:52:13.320 in Oregon or the source for hot pockets in Arkansas, then move on to a soybean processing
01:52:22.220 tank in Virginia?
01:52:24.380 If you were nefarious terrorist group or hostile foreign power and had not, you know, not merely
01:52:30.960 one suicide pilot, but two of them, as in the case of the Georgia crash, who, why were
01:52:39.160 they there, why not use that third person to bring down another plane?
01:52:44.800 You wouldn't bring a passenger along.
01:52:47.500 And would you really aim for a potato processing plant in Southern Idaho than the Georgia plant
01:52:54.320 where they make cinnamon toast crunch?
01:52:56.240 The U.S. had, as of 2017, the U.S. had 36,486 food and beverage processing establishments.
01:53:10.580 What's most likely happening, according to Jim Garrity, is the Bader-Meinhof phenomena.
01:53:17.480 You may not know what the Bader-Meinhof phenomena is, but you've experienced it.
01:53:26.280 Have you ever gone to buy a car and then suddenly they're everywhere?
01:53:33.100 Oh, yeah, for sure.
01:53:35.020 That is that phenomena.
01:53:37.840 It's a frequency illusion that when things start to happen, and we are now looking at food shortages.
01:53:45.260 We all know it.
01:53:46.640 We also all know some things aren't being done by our government that are right.
01:53:51.460 We also know there are people that, you know, like catastrophe and, you know, swim in really
01:54:01.040 calm waters of catastrophe as they look at it, never waste it.
01:54:06.280 So we have these things percolating.
01:54:08.660 And as you see one fire and then another, these are not out of the normal and they're not arson.
01:54:18.580 They're not terrorist strikes and they don't seem to be affecting big plants.
01:54:24.700 And that's what you would go after are the big plants.
01:54:27.380 That's really good news.
01:54:28.460 That's really good.
01:54:29.220 And that sort of thing happens to everybody.
01:54:30.720 I mean, on the left, it happens all the time.
01:54:32.400 One recent example was the Australian fires.
01:54:35.040 Remember how big of a deal this was?
01:54:37.200 Everyone was on, you know, online.
01:54:39.780 They were running fundraisers and it was a big deal.
01:54:41.700 I'm not saying the Australian fires a few years ago were not, but everyone was saying
01:54:46.420 that like this is global warming and look how terrible this is and the environment and
01:54:50.040 weather weirding and all of this.
01:54:51.420 And at the end of the year, there was less square mileage burned in Australia than average
01:54:59.400 that year.
01:55:00.640 Less than average.
01:55:01.680 Isn't that crazy?
01:55:02.740 Crazy.
01:55:03.140 Yeah.
01:55:03.680 And why is it happening to them?
01:55:05.940 This is like when you're buying a new car, you're focused on that.
01:55:08.720 When you're worried about global warming, you're focused on that.
01:55:12.800 When you're worried about food shortages and you see things that you've not noticed before,
01:55:18.540 it's because you weren't paying attention to it that way.
01:55:22.220 How many times have we paid attention to a forest fire in Australia?
01:55:26.700 Well, we paid attention that year because the people who are running the news are talking
01:55:32.160 about forest fires and global warming.
01:55:36.060 That is what happens and you get down.
01:55:38.480 And I think this happens all the time with global warming.
01:55:40.860 Every time there's a moderately strange weather event that's slightly out of the ordinary.
01:55:46.720 This is what it's blamed on every single time.
01:55:49.540 And everyone's a meteorologist.

01:56:00.080 That's really what is going to cause the most problems of getting food all around the world.
01:56:07.360 What about China and the COVID shutdowns that they're still kind of going through?
01:56:11.580 That's big as well.
01:56:12.700 Have you seen the Shanghai ports, the satellite photos from 2020 and then today?
01:56:20.980 Incredible difference.

01:58:21.040 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
01:58:38.640 We're so glad that you're here.
01:58:39.820 Thank you for listening.
01:58:41.720 The New York Times has just put together your personal inflation.
01:58:47.280 And have you taken it yet, Stu?
01:58:49.000 You have.
01:58:49.560 Yeah, seven questions.
01:58:50.740 Okay.
01:58:51.040 And you have to answer them.
01:58:52.140 Basically, the average rate is something like 8.5% is what they're saying now.
01:58:55.820 Now we know there's varying calculations of that.
01:58:59.140 But some basic questions help you figure out your own personal inflation.
01:59:02.900 So let me ask you.
01:59:03.720 Let me give you the quiz here.
01:59:04.920 Yeah.
01:59:05.340 Did you buy a car in the last year?
01:59:07.500 I bought a new car, a used car, a new and used car, or I didn't buy a car?
01:59:12.020 Used car.
01:59:12.780 Used car.
01:59:13.620 Okay.
01:59:13.980 So now your inflation rate went from 8.5 up to 10.1%.
01:59:18.260 Okay.
01:59:19.120 How much do you drive?
01:59:21.280 I don't drive or I use an electric car.
01:59:23.240 I drive less than 150 miles per week, 150 to 400 miles a week, or over 400.
01:59:28.560 So you figure.
01:59:31.340 I do.
01:59:32.120 I usually put about 12,000 miles on a car in a year.
01:59:36.120 So let's see.
01:59:37.220 12,000 divided by 52 is 230 miles.
01:59:43.060 So between 150 and 400.
01:59:44.400 Okay.
01:59:44.700 Yeah.
01:59:44.900 Okay.
01:59:45.520 That gets you from 10.1 to 10.3%.
01:59:48.060 Okay.
01:59:48.720 How much do you travel?
01:59:50.020 I typically take three or more trips a year for you, right?
01:59:52.740 Yeah.
01:59:53.200 That's the highest number.
01:59:54.460 So that's going to get you up to 11.4%.
01:59:57.140 Are you a vegetarian?
02:00:01.040 No.
02:00:01.440 Is there a total opposite?
02:00:04.180 Okay.
02:00:04.340 I am not a vegetarian.
02:00:05.260 Now that goes from 11.4% to 11.5%.
02:00:07.900 Do you heat your home with oil?
02:00:10.560 No.
02:00:11.400 No.
02:00:12.160 I don't.
02:00:13.520 Okay.
02:00:13.700 That brings you 11.5% back down to 11.4%.
02:00:16.500 How often do you eat out?
02:00:18.080 What about oil?
02:00:19.720 Hmm?
02:00:20.380 You said oil.
02:00:21.320 What about gas?
02:00:22.500 It's just the only question is, do you heat your home with oil?
02:00:25.080 I don't know.
02:00:25.520 I didn't make the quiz up.
02:00:26.520 This is made by an economist.
02:00:27.720 Okay.
02:00:27.740 Go ahead.
02:00:28.540 I rarely eat out.
02:00:29.900 I typically eat out one or two days a week or several days of the week.
02:00:33.620 I'd say one or two.
02:00:35.440 One or two.
02:00:37.220 Okay.
02:00:37.780 If you, if you, I would imagine that includes like, you know, Uber.
02:00:42.660 Yes.
02:00:43.080 Oh, yeah.
02:00:43.260 I would say that counts.
02:00:44.500 I mean, you know, I don't know.
02:00:46.180 I might put you at three per week, but yeah, go ahead.
02:00:48.800 Put three.
02:00:49.640 I mean, there is a Sonic cup by you every single day.
02:00:52.100 So let's see several days a week.
02:00:53.900 Okay.
02:00:54.180 And then do you pay for school?
02:00:56.240 I don't pay for school.
02:00:57.380 I pay for.
02:00:58.700 I don't pay for school.
02:00:59.940 Pay taxes.
02:01:01.640 Okay.
02:01:02.520 Glenn, your inflation rate, 11.5%.
02:01:05.860 So instead of 8.5, yours is 11.5.
02:01:10.160 Now, the biggest thing for you is going to be buying a used car, which is a big deal.
02:01:13.580 But the, just the driving and it made a big deal as well, a difference as well to pop
02:01:19.300 you up to 11.5.
02:01:19.920 I saw somebody selling a, what is it?
02:01:23.960 It was a Range Rover, a Defender, one of those new Defenders.
02:01:27.920 It was last year.
02:01:30.140 And I think there, what, 120,000, something like that?
02:01:33.680 I don't know.
02:01:34.340 They were selling a used one for 180.
02:01:40.440 Incredible.
02:01:41.160 I thought, good work if you can't get it, dude.
02:01:44.520 But what are you going to drive?
02:01:46.420 You know, you're not buying a used car, selling your car now, even if you can get that money.
02:01:52.460 What are you going to replace it with?
02:01:53.840 Yeah, that's really the problem.
02:01:55.920 Yeah, there's really nothing.
02:01:56.760 There's no way to just sell a car and, I mean, unless you're working at home, right?
02:02:01.440 Maybe that would be a decision you might make and take an occasional Uber.
02:02:04.380 I don't know.
02:02:04.920 Yeah, that would be great because, you know, then we wouldn't, we could help the planet.
02:02:09.080 If we all just sold our cars and just work from home, wow, maybe we wouldn't have an oil
02:02:15.300 shortage.
02:02:16.520 Maybe we wouldn't have.
02:02:17.780 It's enticing.
02:02:18.760 It's enticing.
02:02:19.360 We can go back to those glory days of March, 2020.
02:02:23.020 Oh, weren't those the days?
02:02:24.980 Those were great.
02:02:26.280 And if we're really lucky, we can go back to 1820, you know, where nobody had a car.
02:02:33.420 Yeah.
02:02:33.740 Oh, that'll be really fun.
02:02:35.240 By the way, when I took this quiz, I had to say, no, I have not bought a car in the
02:02:38.360 past year because I ordered one nine months ago, but I don't actually have it yet.
02:02:42.300 You haven't got it.
02:02:42.600 Yeah.
02:02:42.940 So what's your inflation rate?
02:02:44.620 Mine was, mine was actually low.
02:02:46.340 It was 8.2% or something, which is interesting.
02:02:48.920 I think I wasn't sure.
02:02:49.920 Because that's vegetarian, too.
02:02:51.420 Vegetarian helps me on that one.
02:02:52.400 That's usually more.
02:02:53.860 Yeah.
02:02:54.040 Usually vegetarian eating is really expensive.
02:02:56.740 But again, maybe we can get to a place to where no one can really afford meat except
02:03:02.220 for like a special occasion.
02:03:04.260 And if you want to have some good animal protein, have you thought about bugs?
02:03:08.700 Because they're delicious and a delicacy in certain parts of the world.
02:03:11.600 I'm surprised the New York Times didn't have that.
02:03:13.660 Vegetarian?
02:03:14.180 Or do you eat bugs?
