00:01:48.320 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:13.180 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:19.820 Well, I don't know if you've heard, but we all have to get rid of our gas stoves because

00:02:24.600 they're dangerous now. They can really hurt kids. So get rid of your gas. I'm not kidding

00:02:30.980 you. It is the slow road to bugs. Also, there is some additional information now. Republicans

00:02:40.780 have enhanced election integrity with a voter ID law that has been passed and signed in

00:02:46.740 in Ohio. More on the House Republicans. We have some, well, I have some, I have some amazing

00:02:57.520 news to share with you about an autistic kid that sat down to the piano, never played it before and is

00:03:06.580 remarkable. Also, what not to do if you're planning on murdering your wife. All that and more coming up 0.79

00:03:15.680 in 60 seconds. So Jamie wrote in about our experience with Relief Factor. He says,

00:03:20.980 my husband and I both started using Relief Factor. We were surprised by the results. We had minor aches and pains and I had

00:03:27.200 problems with my knee that just wasn't improving. After about two weeks of Relief Factor, we were both seeing

00:03:32.860 wonderful loss of pain and my knee doesn't feel like it's being stabbed all the time anymore. We won't be going

00:03:41.060 forward without Relief Factor. Jamie, thank you so much. It's great to hear from you. Relief Factor is not a drug. So

00:03:47.740 it's not going to whack you out. It has four key ingredients that fight inflammation, which is the source of most of the

00:03:54.020 pain that we deal with. And it might work for you. Works for about 70% of the people that try it, they go on to order

00:04:00.020 more. So go to relieffactor.com. Try the three-week quick start for $19.95. Relief Factor.com or 800, the number

00:04:07.780 for Relief. 800 for Relief or relieffactor.com. Feel the difference.

00:04:16.520 All right. Hello, Stu. How are you? Glenn, how are you? Well, I'm good. I, um, you know, sometimes,

00:04:23.920 sometimes you can have too much faith in people. You can think they're just not this stupid, but 1.00

00:04:31.080 you're usually disappointed. The husband of the Massachusetts realtor, you know, if you've been 1.00

00:04:37.600 following this? A little bit. Yeah. Okay. So, um, this guy, Brian Walsh, he was a guy who,

00:04:44.920 um, was selling fake Warhols. He was in trouble with the law. I think he was maybe under house

00:04:52.180 arrest for a while. Um, and his wife, uh, got another job. She had to move to Washington, D.C.

00:04:59.560 She came up for the holidays and, and then, uh, she was called back to Washington and nobody's seen

00:05:06.200 her since. Uh, now there is one thing now they have, they have, uh, taken him in. He's not been

00:05:18.460 arrested for murder, but they took him in because he, he misled the police. He said, the only thing I did

00:05:27.940 on the day of her disappearance was go out for ice cream with my kids. Unfortunately for him,

00:05:34.160 um, he was, uh, spotted at Home Depot where noted ice cream purveyor. Yes. Yes. Yes. Um, he,

00:05:44.860 you know, he was, um, he was going to Home Depot and he showed up wearing a mask, uh, and a hat

00:05:53.700 and gloves and he bought $450 worth of cleaning supplies. And what's weird about this too, is

00:06:02.700 he got lost apparently several times and then lost on his way to his mother's house, uh, because he

00:06:08.740 didn't bring his cell phone. So anyway, so he was concerned about cleanliness, cleanliness. We're

00:06:15.340 in the middle of a raging triple Demick right now. Exactly right. You got to wear the gloves. You got to

00:06:20.520 have the mask. You got to have the cleaning supplies. Exactly right. So he goes home and

00:06:24.440 he's cleaning up something and he completely forget. Oh, I forgot. I stopped for cleaning

00:06:28.340 supplies. Sure. Um, and so they, they brought him in for that, um, for misleading police,

00:06:34.760 but there is something else that he did that is kind of curious that you would think, no,

00:06:41.680 no one would, no one would do this. Um, he, the day before she disappeared, uh, he Google

00:06:50.060 searched how to dispose of 115 pound human body. A hundred now specifically 115 pounds.

00:07:00.600 Now I think we should Google search this cause I'd like to see. I'm not Googling that. Yeah.

00:07:06.380 Sarah, you Google it real quick. Sarah can Google it. Google it. Just Google it real quick.

00:07:10.340 Tell us what it says. I'm not Googling it either. Pretty sure Sarah's search history goes directly

00:07:14.280 to the feds as it is. So you might as well. So tell us what it says here. Um, I mean,

00:07:21.480 does it give, does it say like step one, go to home Depot by cleaning supplies? Don't bring

00:07:28.860 your cell phone. What does it say? Right away. The stories just turn up of the story you're

00:07:35.880 talking about. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Change it to one 20. See if maybe that would

00:07:40.220 help. The weight is not necessarily specific. How about just, uh, you know, dispose of a

00:07:46.440 human body, how to dispose of a human body. See if that, cause I don't think the weight

00:07:51.720 would just be like dig a bigger hole. Right. Right. I put how to dispose of 120 pound body 0.98

00:07:59.120 and scrap metal recycling comes up. Scrap metal recycling. Yeah. Safe handling and disposal of

00:08:06.420 harmful products. Okay. Okay. More recycling. What is the most valuable thing to scrap? But

00:08:12.420 there's nothing on how to get rid of nothing to get rid of, but there is animal disposal.

00:08:18.060 Oh, there you go. Ah, there you go. Dead animal disposal. Now we need to actually contact the

00:08:23.200 Fez and say, we think something happened with our producer and a 120 pound person has disappeared.

00:08:30.620 We don't even know. We don't know where they are. We don't even know their name. Can you

00:08:34.180 just check their computer? Yeah. I just want to make sure her computer is. And check for 0.75

00:08:38.740 scrap metal. Right. Yeah. Okay. I think like you're, you're, you just go for like, I mean,

00:08:44.020 there's a bunch of movies I can think of. That's the only way I think if I was going to dispose

00:08:47.860 of a, is that the topic he wanted to get into? How did it actually do it? Because I think

00:08:51.420 I would go, you've got a Fargo. You could go the Fargo route. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of

00:08:55.520 movies that you can go, but you know, it might also show up on your Netflix history. If you're

00:09:01.740 watching all of these movies where they dispose of bodies, you know, I'm just saying. Which

00:09:08.060 Netflix movies feature disposal of 115 pound female bodies named Joan? It was in their Netflix 0.68

00:09:16.680 search. I don't know. I just like that genre. That's all. Yeah. That's it. Wow. That's

00:09:23.220 really sad though. God. Okay. Well, it kind of makes me happy. They're going to, they're

00:09:27.420 going to, they're, they're going to find out who did it. Yeah. At least justice should

00:09:31.760 be served. It wasn't really bright. Oh, this is a good, this would be a good plot to

00:09:36.640 a movie where you commit the murder. And then I go into your house, Glenn, and I say,

00:09:42.140 Hey, um, just, uh, you got it. What's your computer like? And then I just go over

00:09:46.080 searching terms that would lead them to you. I mean, at some point that's really

00:09:51.140 going to happen. Or here's what we do. Uh, it's the old strangers on a train. We

00:09:56.180 just go out and ask somebody to murder somebody that we want to get rid of and 0.99

00:10:02.900 we'll murder somebody that they want to get rid of. So I search how to dispose of a 0.73

00:10:08.620 200 pound body, but nobody in my life that runs 200 pounds disappeared for somebody that

00:10:15.540 runs 110 did disappear, but I could say, I didn't search for that. I was searching for

00:10:21.040 200 pound bodies guys. That would be an interesting, yeah, an interesting conversation. And he'll

00:10:27.220 search for 110 and the person missing in his life.

00:10:31.620 200. You're just trading the murders. Yes. That's all we're doing. Okay. Let me give

00:10:38.180 you something, uh, that I think is absolutely amazing. Uh, it's an 11 year old boy, uh, named

00:10:46.460 Jude Kofie. And he was spotted from this local, um, uh, television, uh, story on local

00:10:56.120 news. His dad is from, uh, where are they from? Well, the story has it in there from like the

00:11:05.140 Sudan. I think they live in Colorado and this kid, he's autistic. And he went down to the basement

00:11:13.600 where there was an old piano. He had never had any lessons or anything else. And, uh, all of a sudden

00:11:20.260 dad's hearing a piano playing downstairs and he's like, what the heck is he goes down and his kid

00:11:26.980 is playing the piano. No lessons, no lessons plays the piano. You're going to hear in this clip,

00:11:34.160 him playing the piano, no lessons. This is just him. This autistic kid playing the piano. 0.94

00:11:41.700 Somebody sees it on TV. If you've wondered where all the good people, uh, listened to this

00:11:51.060 to 11 year old Jude Kofie of Aurora, Colorado. This surprise was music to his eyes.

00:12:00.960 Obviously whoever said the best things come in small packages was never gifted a grand piano.

00:12:08.060 Jude's father, Isaiah.

00:12:09.520 So one day it just shows up at the house?

00:12:12.180 Yes. All for free. Who does that?

00:12:16.340 The answer in a moment. But first, the reason. About a year and a half ago, Jude's dad heard a

00:12:24.140 noise coming from the basement. There was an old keyboard down there, but no one knew how to play

00:12:29.240 it. Certainly not his autistic son, Jude. Or so he thought. Isaiah then got Jude a larger keyboard to

00:12:37.240 see what more he could do. And boy, could he do.

00:12:44.060 The kid never had a lesson. No one taught him any of this.

00:12:49.000 How do you explain that you're as good as you are? It's a miracle. You think it's a miracle?

00:12:57.820 That's what I prefer. Bill Magnuson prefers that too. Is he special? He's beyond special. He's Mozart level. He's coming from somewhere beyond.

00:13:09.820 Bill is a piano tuner. He saw a local news story about Jude. Heard him play. Learned how his parents

00:13:18.360 immigrated from Ghana. How they're raising four children and sending money back to Ghana. 0.99

00:13:24.280 What resources are left over to help this special little soul?

00:13:30.620 Yours.

00:13:33.260 Yeah.

00:13:34.900 Using an inheritance from his father, Bill bought the piano. Spent $15,000.

00:13:43.680 He has promised to tune it once a month for the rest of his life.

00:13:47.320 Very nice.

00:13:48.060 And he's even paying for Jude to get professional lessons.

00:13:53.020 We're family now.

00:13:55.020 Somebody to just love your son like that by making sure that his future is secured. We are super thankful.

00:14:03.780 Yeah.

00:14:05.160 Press the pedal.

00:14:06.300 Caring for other children as your own.

00:14:09.620 The defining note of humanity.

00:14:12.960 Isn't that amazing? Isn't that amazing?

00:14:15.680 Really cool.

00:14:16.200 That is, I mean, I just think that is one of the greatest stories I've heard in a while.

00:14:25.260 Would you listen to the words to this?

00:14:32.200 It's one of my favorite bands out of California.

00:14:34.400 What if all they lost was all they had?

00:14:42.360 What if they were broken?

00:14:44.880 Just looking for a hand.

00:14:47.880 If you could help or walk away.

00:14:50.940 If that choice was up to you, what would you do?

00:14:55.760 What if they were you?

00:15:00.360 Where did all the good people go?

00:15:06.640 Where did all the good people go?

00:15:10.960 It's a group called Poor Man's Poison.

00:15:25.960 They live in the farmlands of California.

00:15:29.740 I just love their music.

00:15:30.920 Very American sounding.

00:15:33.920 And their messages are really just great.

00:15:37.980 What if all you gave was all you had?

00:15:42.760 What if you were humble, just holding out your hand?

00:15:50.640 What if kindness prevailed and you were someone's second chance?

00:15:56.860 Just giving back.

00:16:00.440 That doesn't sound so bad.

00:16:03.080 Where did all the good people go?

00:16:05.080 We keep asking ourselves, at least I do, where are they?

00:16:08.660 Where are all the...

00:16:09.640 They're everywhere.

00:16:11.720 They're everywhere.

00:16:13.020 We don't see them because they don't generally make the news.

00:16:18.640 But all the good people, that's you.

00:16:20.880 That's me.

00:16:21.980 The people who are looking for a second chance at life that have the ability to do something.

00:16:28.280 That guy was a tuner of pianos.

00:16:31.620 His father had just died.

00:16:33.640 He inherited money.

00:16:36.160 And he saw that story and he thought, this kid has got to have lessons and a piano.

00:16:41.720 So he takes his inheritance from his father, buys the piano, says that he's going to tune it every month for the rest of his life.

00:16:51.800 And he's helping him get piano lessons.

00:16:58.280 I just want to bring you the news today that the good people are here.

00:17:27.260 And we're surrounded by them.

00:17:29.460 We're surrounded by people.

00:17:31.240 The problem is there's not enough examples that we see.

00:17:35.760 And we should start looking for them.

00:17:38.060 We should start sharing those stories.

00:17:40.520 And we should start recognizing that we've been given the opportunity, whatever it is.

00:17:47.960 Whatever it is.

00:17:49.000 I wouldn't have thought to get this kid a piano.

00:17:52.140 I'm not a piano tuner.

00:17:53.360 But he did, because that's his gift.

00:17:59.040 You are the good people.

00:18:01.640 Where have you gone?

00:18:03.280 Nowhere.

00:18:05.000 Just maybe a quick reminder to wake up and see the ways that you can help all around you.

00:18:12.760 Sad part is when they opened up the grand piano, they found a 115 pound human body disposed of inside.

00:18:19.920 It's weird.

00:18:20.420 It's weird.

00:18:21.500 But that was the only negative of that story.

00:18:23.340 Yeah.

00:18:23.620 Yeah.

00:18:24.200 That's too bad.

00:18:25.780 Did he look up piano tuners as well?

00:18:27.880 He did.

00:18:28.420 Here's our spotlight sponsor, LifeLock.

00:18:32.260 There is a new story out today that is just horrifying, if you know what this means.

00:18:40.860 The dark web's criminal minds see the Internet of Things as the next big hacking prize.

00:18:49.780 Do you know what the Internet of Things is?

00:18:51.980 Yeah.

00:18:52.160 It's like everything in your house is connected to the Internet.

00:18:54.260 Everything.

00:18:54.720 Yeah.

00:18:54.920 It's your dishwasher, your refrigerator.

00:18:57.400 Absolutely every device you have or will buy is going to be connected to the Internet.

00:19:04.680 Your Roomba.

00:19:05.880 Everything is connected to the Internet and it's, you know, let's just make it more efficient and help you out, you know?

00:19:13.960 Yeah.

00:19:14.560 Well, criminal minds are now seeing this and saying this is going to be huge for us.

00:19:20.460 So fantastic.

00:19:22.440 You are going to have an information hacking on you.

00:19:26.800 You're going to have it will happen to all of us.

00:19:29.740 Now, can everybody can somebody stop all of it?

00:19:32.840 No, because there there's millions of these people that this is all they do is try to figure out how to get your identity.

00:19:40.860 However, the best service that I have found has preventative measures to keep you safe.

00:19:47.180 So they're they're on guard all the time.

00:20:23.080 Station ID.

00:20:28.980 You know, when it comes to the classified documents that were held by Joe Biden, I don't know.

00:20:44.680 Did you hear this?

00:20:45.500 I, he haven't had a whole bunch of classified documents that he shouldn't have had.

00:20:51.160 They weren't declassified.

00:20:52.560 Sound familiar?

00:20:53.360 When it comes to this story, I don't care about the classified documents he had, just like I don't care about the classified documents that Donald Trump had.

00:21:01.600 Now, I mean, if they were something like, you know, how to blow up the world.

00:21:06.340 Yeah.

00:21:06.520 Okay.

00:21:06.800 I think maybe we should probably have, you know, some information on that.

00:21:10.480 How to dispose of a 115 pound intern. 0.99

00:21:13.500 Something like that.

00:21:14.380 That might not be the best, you know, but I just don't.

00:21:21.240 I'm more focused now on the things we can change.

00:21:25.860 And there's some really good things that have happened in Florida, really, really good.

00:21:32.680 I'm sorry, not Florida, but Washington, D.C.

00:21:36.300 Some really, really good things.

00:21:39.080 Jim Jordan is now going to chair the weaponization of government, the select committee.

00:21:44.560 Now, he's not going to be able.

00:21:45.680 They can they can offer impeachment to government officials, but they are not going to have control of the Senate.

00:21:53.720 So we'll see what happens on this.

00:21:55.560 But they're going to look into, oh, I don't know, everything.

00:22:00.520 The probe into the communications between the tech giants and President Biden's aides looking for the pressure.

00:22:07.600 We know it's there.

00:22:08.980 They said they openly said, yeah, we're we talk to them all the time.

00:22:13.680 We now know from the Twitter files that this was going on.

00:22:17.800 They suppressed all kinds of things.

00:22:20.860 And should that be the way of the world?

00:22:25.200 Would you like it if you were on the left?

00:22:27.820 Would you like it if Donald Trump would have pressured to silence the media against anything that you were saying he was doing?

00:22:38.560 I wouldn't like it.

00:22:40.600 In fact, you had a cow when you thought he was going to do it.

00:22:44.900 He never did.

00:22:47.640 We've got to be really careful.

00:22:49.520 Well, I know if Donald Trump would have called me and say, hey, stop talking about that.

00:22:54.360 I wouldn't have stopped talking about it.

00:22:56.680 That would have really bothered me.

00:22:59.160 Where are the Democrats that this is an issue for?

00:23:03.640 Government needs to stay out. 0.80

00:23:06.060 Glenn back program of the media.

00:23:08.240 All right.

00:23:09.620 How does your dog?

00:23:10.600 How's your dog doing?

00:23:11.800 My dog just got back from the vet and she just called last night.

00:23:17.520 She said his blood work has come back.

00:23:19.920 He is just like a puppy.

00:23:22.320 And I mean, I don't know what it is.

00:23:25.520 He is really getting to be an old dog.

00:23:28.780 He's 12 and a half now.

00:23:31.080 And for a German shepherd, that's really old.

00:23:34.080 He should be hobbling around.

00:23:36.540 He's purebred.

00:23:37.780 They've always had problems with their hips.

00:23:40.260 He's fine.

00:23:40.960 He's deaf, a little bit blind, but no cataracts or anything like that.

00:23:45.380 And I can't prove this, but I'm telling you, he's a different dog since we started feeding him rough greens.

00:23:52.540 I think he gave my dog a longer life and a healthier life.

00:23:57.040 I think rough greens has been a miracle for our family.

00:24:01.940 I want you to try it out for yourself.

00:24:04.280 This is not a dog food.

00:24:05.400 This is something you sprinkle on the dog's food, gives him probiotics and all the healthy things your dog needs to live a healthy, active life.

00:24:27.220 I have good news.

00:24:41.480 The ozone layer is healing.

00:24:46.460 Earth set to avoid a 0.5 degree Celsius change of global warming.

00:24:54.980 Good news.

00:24:56.900 Good news.

00:24:57.920 So we got that going for us.

00:25:00.860 Apparently, because we stopped using hairspray, the ozone is healing.

00:25:08.300 Yay.

00:25:09.160 We did it.

00:25:09.740 We did it, boys and girls.

00:25:10.980 What is it, 2060 something that's supposed to be healed?

00:25:13.600 Yeah.

00:25:13.880 Well, no.

00:25:14.340 Now, see, 2066.

00:25:17.240 Okay.

00:25:18.000 You take some of the good news and you make it seem cheap.

00:25:21.880 Now, you've cheapened it.

00:25:22.780 Have I?

00:25:24.700 I didn't realize that.

00:25:26.120 Well, I'm wondering if it is because of the protocols or anything else or, I mean.

00:25:32.260 Yeah.

00:25:32.480 There was the Montreal protocol back in the day where they tried to limit the ozone hole.

00:25:37.440 Right.

00:25:37.820 Remember, that was a big story.

00:25:38.820 I feel like when I was a kid.

00:25:40.160 Yeah, it was.

00:25:41.200 In the 80s.

00:25:41.680 Yeah, yeah.

00:25:42.220 You know, and it was a big deal.

00:25:43.520 Ozone, acid rain, all those things.

00:25:45.160 Yeah.

00:25:45.420 All those kind of went up, like, it's.

00:25:47.000 And the ozone was like, hey, it's a huge problem.

00:25:50.340 And a lot of people back then were like, no, it fluctuates.

00:25:54.900 It'll open and close.

00:25:55.980 And I don't know if any.

00:25:57.780 I stopped listening, you know, about 40 years ago.

00:26:02.180 Yeah.

00:26:02.560 So congratulations on that.

00:26:04.340 The ozone layer is sealing back up.

00:26:07.980 There was a big story today from the New York Times saying that we've had the warmest years

00:26:11.580 in history over the last eight years of the most warm years in history.

00:26:16.300 I think they said on record, which is intended for you to think in history, but in reality

00:26:23.640 is not actually in history.

00:26:25.040 Well, seeing that, you know, records have been kept maybe for a couple hundred years

00:26:29.860 and the earth is millions of years old.

00:26:32.980 I don't know about you.

00:26:33.640 I fully am confident in the temperature records of the entire globe in 1879.

00:26:39.880 Oh, I am.

00:26:40.480 I'm not sure they nailed it completely.

00:26:42.960 You're sounding sarcastic here.

00:26:44.760 Now, the Biden administration, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, is now considering

00:26:51.960 a nationwide ban, and you're going to say, finally, someone's doing something about it,

00:26:58.160 a nationwide ban on gas-burning stoves following a new study that claims the appliances emit

00:27:09.280 harmful pollution that has been linked to asthma in some children.

00:27:16.440 Wow.

00:27:17.600 So it's a new study that claims that the stoves emit harmful pollution that is linked to asthma

00:27:29.900 in some children.

00:27:31.780 Oh, ban it immediately. 0.55

00:27:33.260 Immediately.

00:27:33.580 That's what I'm thinking.

00:27:34.600 With that sort of evidence.

00:27:35.000 Right?

00:27:35.680 You ban it immediately.

00:27:36.820 It's incredible.

00:27:37.400 According to the EPA and the World Health Organization, gas-burning stoves emit unsafe levels of nitrogen

00:27:45.020 dioxide, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter, which I went to the doctor the other day.

00:27:53.000 And he's like, you have too much particulate matter coming into your system.

00:27:57.580 And I'm like, it's probably the stove, doc.

00:28:00.080 Um, so, uh, a December report from the International Journal of Environmental Research shows that

00:28:09.140 12% of current childhood asthma nationwide is attributed to gas stove use.

00:28:14.680 So now we are thinking, the Biden administration, because their consumer product safety commission

00:28:22.260 is concerned with consumer safety, you know, they got a whole commission on that.

00:28:27.260 They're now thinking they're going to ban all gas-burning stoves.

00:28:33.140 So, just want to put that in perspective for you.

00:28:36.460 A couple of things happen with that.

00:28:38.080 Uh, we all have electric stoves.

00:28:40.500 But it'll go great with our electric cars.

00:28:44.900 If we do not have the capacity to charge as it is.

00:28:48.580 But let's switch everybody over.

00:28:50.140 Let's switch everybody over.

00:28:51.500 35% of all homes in the United States have a gas stove.

00:28:55.200 Every restaurant you go into has a gas stove.

00:29:00.320 You can't cook on electric and do fine cooking.

00:29:05.760 You ever hear of a microwave, Glenn?

00:29:07.560 You ever hear of one?

00:29:08.560 I have.

00:29:09.240 Those are, first of all, completely safe.

00:29:11.640 And you know what?

00:29:11.660 If they, if you use them incorrectly, the bugs will actually pop in a microwave.

00:29:17.260 Oh.

00:29:17.620 But if you slowly cook the bugs, you can have a bowl of bugs anytime you want.

00:29:22.280 If they're going to make us eat bugs, we need to be able to prepare them the best way possible.

00:29:27.220 Exactly right.

00:29:27.980 And that's a gas stove.

00:29:28.560 Mm-hmm.

00:29:29.140 Mm-hmm.

00:29:29.640 So, now.

00:29:30.420 You got to give us one or the other.

00:29:31.420 So, now, natural gas, by having a gas connection in your home, we are polluting the inside of our homes.

00:29:41.920 By having a gas connection.

00:29:46.240 So, let me just help you out with this.

00:29:50.680 Now, natural gas is not, we're not just not allowed to explore for it anymore.

00:29:58.560 They're now trying to eliminate it.

00:30:01.640 And, or let me just read this last thing here again.

00:30:05.600 By having a gas connection, we're polluting the insides of our homes.

00:30:11.620 So, that's not just a gas stove, now, is it?

00:30:15.600 That would be a natural gas heater as well.

00:30:21.780 That would be a natural gas heater for your water as well.

00:30:26.900 Wouldn't it be great if we could put everything on electricity?

00:30:31.580 Huh?

00:30:32.140 Mm.

00:30:32.620 Seriously.

00:30:34.200 Sounds great.

00:30:35.840 Did they explain why this doesn't affect adults, they're saying?

00:30:39.900 Are they saying only some children?

00:30:41.700 Uh, because it's probably unbelievable that it would affect all people.

00:30:48.900 Okay.

00:30:49.480 At all times.

00:30:50.620 And, uh, you know.

00:30:52.260 I mean, I don't, I.

00:30:53.540 This is why I only serve my kids Little Bites mini muffins.

00:30:56.920 Right.

00:30:57.220 Because that's, that's the only healthy way to go.

00:30:59.820 No, no.

00:31:00.340 They only eat, uh, chocolate chip mini muffins.

00:31:04.400 Yeah.

00:31:04.660 And then I never have to worry about any of their asthma concerns.

00:31:07.520 Nope.

00:31:07.960 Never have to worry about it.

00:31:08.980 Perfect health.

00:31:09.360 Yep.

00:31:09.560 Um, you know, you would think maybe banning cigarettes would be a bigger thing.

00:31:18.720 You know what I mean?

00:31:19.780 Banning.

00:31:20.160 Kid has asthma.

00:31:21.880 Hey, no smoking around the kid.

00:31:24.440 Now, I don't, I don't agree with this, but I mean, that might be a bigger step towards

00:31:30.380 helping children with asthma than banning all gas stoves.

00:31:35.820 And they did come out with a thing called vaping that causes, uh, far fewer of these chemicals

00:31:41.380 to come out of, if you happen to be a smoker, out of your cigarette or device.

00:31:45.900 And then the government has attacked that industry constantly since, so it's, it really

00:31:51.000 is fascinating and fascinating.

00:31:52.640 They, they seem to want everyone to die.

00:31:55.360 Is that, is that a, uh, uh, I mean, I'm just throwing that possibility out there.

00:31:59.360 What if the, what if the, the goal is no more people?

00:32:05.520 Now that sounds hard to believe.

00:32:07.960 I mean, it's not like we, they're still, still putting Paul Ehrlich on TV saying, saying that

00:32:15.020 we're all going to die because of overpopulation.

00:32:17.240 I know.

00:32:17.500 It's not like that happened this past weekend.

00:32:19.720 This, this guy who has been wrong for half a century, he has been wrong over and over

00:32:27.940 and over again, publicly in print, in humiliating ways, humiliating ways saying that like great

00:32:35.140 Britain wouldn't exist by the year 2000, right?

00:32:38.100 By 1980, there would be no food left, right?

00:32:42.100 There would be out of food.

00:32:44.040 Like that has not occurred.

00:32:45.420 We have more food than we've ever had.

00:32:47.520 Yeah.

00:32:47.880 And he has missed on these predictions over and over and over again.

00:32:50.880 And then they bring them out.

00:32:52.000 They roll his bones out there again at, I don't know, a hundred years old.

00:32:55.480 They're like, Hey, what's going to happen next guy.

00:32:58.120 Who's been wrong every step of the way.

00:33:00.480 And he tells us shockingly that we have all these disasters from overpopulation around the

00:33:06.020 corner.

00:33:06.720 And there's not one question of, you know, before we go, could we ask you about everything

00:33:12.060 you've said that's been wrong?

00:33:14.280 Can we, can we note that even if you happen to be completely guessing you would have a

00:33:20.560 higher percentage of success, at least maybe to get to 50% you're at 0% over a half century.

00:33:27.200 You shouldn't be on TV anymore talking about these things.

00:33:31.000 You know, what's really great is I'm just thinking this through, um, you know, if you're

00:33:36.180 not allowed to sell your house, if it has gas products in it that you could sell your

00:33:42.100 house, but you'd have to replace all the gas fixtures in your house and change everything

00:33:48.840 to electric, that would do a lot to impoverish people.

00:33:52.660 And then once we're all on electric, uh, electricity and everything is on electricity, which does

00:34:00.280 not seem to be the most environmental friendly thing to do.

00:34:04.000 Uh, and we have the rolling blackouts and the rolling brownouts and we can't keep our

00:34:10.200 homes heated because we no longer have gas.

00:34:13.900 We're all hooked up to electricity and they're not shoveling any more coal into that plant.

00:34:19.880 I think this is going to be great.

00:34:22.440 I think this now Stu says, maybe the goal is to kill a bunch of people, but that seems 0.98

00:34:30.200 too harsh. 0.85

00:34:31.180 Maybe thinning out the herd would be, uh, would be better.

00:34:36.780 I mean, there's a lot of people. 0.95

00:34:38.060 I mean, surely we know a lot of people that should die.

00:34:42.060 You know what I mean? 0.91

00:34:42.980 We should just line them up and ask them, can you justify your existence?

00:34:47.060 Because we can't keep you alive.

00:34:48.900 We can't use the machinery of, of this great society to keep you alive unless you're pulling

00:34:54.840 your weight.

00:34:56.480 Oh, wait a minute.

00:34:57.260 I'm sorry.

00:34:58.120 Wow.

00:34:58.600 That did.

00:34:58.980 I didn't make that up.

00:34:59.960 That was, uh, George Bernard Shaw, uh, when he was, uh, really kind of pushing the progressive

00:35:06.840 movement.

00:35:08.340 Hmm.

00:35:09.500 Okay.

00:35:09.980 Well, did I get that right?

00:35:12.740 I don't want to punish anybody, but there are an extraordinary number of people whom 0.99

00:35:20.120 I want to kill.

00:35:21.480 I think it would be a good thing to, uh, make everybody come before a properly appointed board, 0.83

00:35:29.280 just as he might come before the income tax commissioners, and say every five years or

00:35:34.940 every seven years, just put him there and say, sir or madam, now, will you be kind enough

00:35:41.380 to justify your existence?

00:35:43.020 If you're not producing as much as you consume, or perhaps a little more, then clearly we cannot

00:35:50.780 use the big organization of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive because your

00:35:57.260 life does not benefit us and it can't be a very much use to yourself.

00:36:01.320 Wow.

00:36:01.880 That's a really good idea.

00:36:03.360 That might be the slogan on all new electric stoves.

00:36:08.320 You know what I mean?

00:36:09.360 Hey, use this because if you have a gas stove, we can't use the machinery of, of this civilization

00:36:17.000 to keep you alive because your life doesn't benefit us by GE.

00:37:59.220 This is crazy.

00:38:01.520 By the way, do you know who's in control of the Consumer Product Safety Commission?

00:38:07.940 Think safety.

00:38:09.180 Think products.

00:38:10.180 Who would you appoint?

00:38:12.500 Right?

00:38:13.400 The first name that comes to mind is, say it with me.

00:38:18.260 Go ahead.

00:38:19.740 Richard Trumka Jr.

00:38:21.120 Richard Trumka Jr.

00:38:21.940 Yeah.

00:38:22.360 You know, the guy from the AFL-CIO.

00:38:24.680 So the guy who was the head of the unions, who was deep in the Obama administration, is

00:38:31.340 now the guy that they go to.

00:38:33.900 Look, I can't help with consumer safety.

00:38:36.280 You know what I mean?

00:38:37.240 That cement mixer.

00:38:38.360 People fall into it all the time.

00:38:41.780 How many times has that guy Googled how to dispose of a 115-pound woman? 0.92

00:38:47.180 So Richard Trumka is in charge.

00:38:51.060 He says, every option is on the table.

00:38:53.520 The gas stoves is a hidden hazard.

00:38:57.740 He's planning on opening up the topic to public comment later this winter.

00:39:03.520 He says, banning the sale of gas-burning stoves is an option.

00:39:09.480 They're also considering setting emission standards for appliances because he says, children with asthma, you know, we're polluting the inside of our homes.

00:39:19.440 And last month, Cory Booker of New Jersey and Don Beyer of Virginia requested Richard Trumka take action against these gas stove emissions because it's such a pressing issue and a cumulative burden that impacts minority and low-income households.

00:39:42.880 Wow.

00:39:43.880 Wow.

00:39:44.840 We got to get rid of all the gas appliances in our house.

00:39:49.700 When will America wake up to all of this?

00:39:54.200 Don't you see?

00:39:55.760 You know, there was a poll we took yesterday.

00:39:58.620 I tweeted out a poll.

00:39:59.580 What is a bigger U.S. national security threat?

00:40:02.840 A, Gates buying farmland.

00:40:05.360 That got 28%.

00:40:06.700 China buying U.S. farmland, 68%.

00:40:10.920 Russia's Ukrainian invasion, 3.4%.

00:40:15.960 So farmland being bought up by all of these people.

00:40:19.840 This is part of the great reset that we taught you a year ago with the book, the great reset that is, by the way, still on sale by it.

00:40:31.260 Get caught up because the new book is coming out that shows you the next steps and is even more terrifying.

00:40:37.560 But you will understand why gas stoves.

00:40:41.480 They are impoverishing all of us.

00:40:44.780 You can't have a real country that is a force in the world if you have rolling blackouts and brownouts all the time. 1.00

00:40:55.920 Why this push to get everything onto coal-fired electric plants?

00:41:02.880 Why would you do that?

00:41:05.480 Well, of course, they wouldn't want them to be coal-fired.

00:41:08.560 Okay.

00:41:09.540 Let me just give you this.

00:41:10.920 If you put all of just the cars, you don't have the transmission lines that could handle the load.

00:41:19.500 So you're not going to be at just the cars.

00:41:22.260 Now add your stove and your heater and everything else for about 40% of the nation.

00:41:28.320 You won't have the transmission lines.

00:41:31.520 No one's talking about building all of the new infrastructure and transmission lines.

00:41:37.060 There seems to be a big hole in the plan, or the plan is not what they say it is.

00:41:47.400 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:49.000 I want to talk to you a little bit about my Patriot Supply.

00:41:51.780 My Patriot Supply wants you to be prepared for anything that could be coming our way.

00:41:57.740 And a lot of things could be coming our way.

00:42:00.880 In the show prep this morning, if you haven't signed up for our show prep yet, you should.

00:42:05.300 In our show prep, you'll see the 20 things that could happen to cause the world to end.

00:42:10.820 It's hysterical.

00:42:12.800 But there's also a lot of things on there that could make it actually happen, too.

00:42:16.600 Some of them are really real.

00:42:18.920 And you should be prepared for any eventuality.

00:42:22.800 May I recommend you stock up on food that doesn't need to be cooked on a gas stove?

00:42:26.920 Right now, my Patriot Supply has taken off $200 off the regular price of their three-month emergency food kit,

00:42:32.840 breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, snacks, everything, for one person for three months.

00:42:39.840 Don't delay.

00:42:40.420 The time to prepare is right now.

00:42:41.900 Go to preparewithglenn.com.

00:42:43.660 That's preparewithglenn.com.

00:42:46.420 Don't let this special pass you by.

00:42:49.120 Preparewithglenn.com.

00:42:56.920 We got no room to compromise

00:43:08.280 We got to stand together, it's gonna survive

00:43:14.000 Stand up, stand, and hold the line

00:43:19.360 It's a new day I'm trying to raise

00:43:24.880 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:33.960 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:40.480 I want to tell you about the biggest threat to our country that I don't think...

00:43:44.720 I haven't really heard anyone articulate it, and it will come down to you and me.

00:43:52.480 Are we going to do anything about it?

00:43:56.860 The answer should be yes, but you have to be aware of the problem first.

00:44:02.680 And it's a deep problem that you are somewhat aware of, but I'm not sure we've talked about the real consequences yet.

00:44:11.320 We do that in 60 seconds.

00:44:13.020 Let's say you've got a credit card, your balance is $10,000.

00:44:16.580 If you only make the minimum payment amount, how long do you think it'll take to pay that off?

00:44:21.920 The answer, unfortunately, is eight and a half years.

00:44:26.200 By the time you have it paid off, you'll have paid so much in compounding interest that it's staggering.

00:44:33.080 And that's with interest levels the way they are now.

00:44:36.600 There are options available, and the best option I have found is American financing.

00:44:41.860 Please give them a call today and find out your option.

00:44:45.420 American financing is saving people just like you, on average, $695 a month.

00:44:52.000 Don't wait around to get started.

00:44:53.720 Call American financing today.

00:44:55.320 They have salary-based mortgage consultants, which means they don't work for the bank.

00:44:59.620 They don't work for anybody but you.

00:45:03.200 Salary-based mortgage consultants, they'll help you guide through the process of creating a custom loan that will align with your financial goals.

00:45:11.640 People you can trust.

00:45:20.500 Call American financing at 800-906-2440.

00:45:24.580 800-906-2440, Americanfinancing.net.

00:45:35.580 In Philadelphia, there is a story from the New York Times today, and most people will not read it, at least most people on the right, because we're not reading the New York Times.

00:45:48.740 We read it so you don't have to.

00:45:51.240 There is a story about the meeting of the American Historical Association.

00:45:59.200 3,000 scholars gathered over the weekend in Philadelphia to talk about history and the future of history and how to write history.

00:46:09.340 And if I have time, I'm going to give you all of the ins and outs.

00:46:13.080 But it is terrifying to see them talk about history and how it has to be done in the present.

00:46:20.280 It has to relate to things that are in the present.

00:46:24.180 And there are voices that are being squashed and pushed out that are saying, no, history must remain neutral.

00:46:33.660 You can draw your own connections and your own relation to it, but it's neutral.

00:46:40.340 We just report it as it happened.

00:46:45.800 That's not being done.

00:46:48.900 And it is a frightening process because our history is being rewritten in real time.

00:46:58.660 The story, by the way, you can find it if you subscribe to our newsletter in the morning.

00:47:02.800 I give you all of my show prep.

00:47:04.800 It includes a ton of stories that I just don't have time, but I find all of these stories to be very important for you to be aware of.

00:47:10.820 This one is As Historians Gather, No Truce in the History Wars.

00:47:16.200 And you can get that at glennbeck.com and sign up for our morning news brief.

00:47:21.820 Okay, so this is happening.

00:47:25.220 At the same time, there is something called the Great Narrative.

00:47:30.060 The Great Narrative is something that is happening with the World Economic Forum.

00:47:34.220 And this is the topic of my new book is the new narrative, and it's coming out in a couple of months.

00:47:42.000 And the idea from Klaus Schwab is we have to have a new story.

00:47:51.560 Societies are built on stories.

00:47:54.480 We are built on our histories, our stories, our struggles, our lessons that we learn, the good things and the bad things.

00:48:04.460 So they put a team together in Dubai, of all places, and began to write a new story, the Great Narrative.

00:48:15.940 I don't know about you, but I'm not comfortable with a bunch of people who want to change the world writing a new story for the world.

00:48:22.980 I'm really comfortable in dealing with the good things and the bad things of history and looking at history as a way to not make the same mistakes.

00:48:34.900 But history is erasing many of our mistakes now.

00:48:39.020 We're taking down statues that we used to have to learn and go, wow, that's a bad guy.

00:48:44.380 Really?

00:48:45.320 Yeah, we've learned.

00:48:46.780 Now we're just taking it all away.

00:48:48.580 Anyway, the narrative is completely disappearing.

00:48:52.980 And at the same time, it is under attack.

00:48:58.800 We don't care about history.

00:49:00.920 I will tell you that I asked you yesterday if you would join me in a project for the next 40 days, just write down every day, either in the morning or in the evening, things that you're grateful for.

00:49:15.980 It actually changes the way you process information.

00:49:20.340 You can look at it.

00:49:21.220 Yesterday, we had stories in the newsletter on it.

00:49:24.980 It actually changes the function of your brain, being grateful for things, and it allows you to think more clearly and differently.

00:49:36.080 So I asked you to just make a list.

00:49:38.740 And let me see if I have my list here.

00:49:40.980 I wrote a list this morning.

00:49:44.260 I don't think I – yeah, here.

00:49:46.200 Besides all the family and personal stuff, these are some of the things that I wrote.

00:49:49.520 I am grateful for David Barton and Wall Builders, the team at M1, and allowing me, talking to the Lord, to personally preserve American history.

00:50:01.900 This team at M1 and what we're doing, we are – because of my job, I am able, much to my children and my wife's chagrin, I am able to collect American history and preserve it.

00:50:19.280 And my goal is to preserve it, even if it has to be buried in the side of a mountain or out in the middle of a field, it will be preserved because I believe we're dealing with people, I know we are, that want to change our history and destroy our history.

00:50:38.560 So I will take the actual artifacts of our society and of our government, of our history, and I will preserve it the best I can.

00:50:50.360 And I am grateful for those things.

00:50:55.360 It is one of my – it's, in fact, my top goal this year is to help restore America's narrative.

00:51:06.300 And if I can't restore it, I will at least preserve it as much as I can.

00:51:11.960 The truth about America.

00:51:14.840 You know that today is the anniversary of the day that Common Sense was published by Thomas Paine.

00:51:22.660 Do you know who Thomas Paine is?

00:51:26.420 Thomas Paine was kind of a reject.

00:51:29.320 And he was a tax collector, a reluctant tax collector.

00:51:32.680 He was over in England.

00:51:33.980 He was a failure at so many things.

00:51:36.580 And then he met a guy.

00:51:38.400 I know a guy.

00:51:39.880 Hey, he's got a room on a boat.

00:51:42.720 Maybe you could go over, eh?

00:51:44.880 The guy he met was Ben Franklin.

00:51:48.240 And Ben Franklin saw something in him and said, you should go to America.

00:51:53.240 And so Thomas Paine did.

00:51:55.160 He apprenticed with Benjamin Franklin, if I'm not mistaken, for a while.

00:51:59.260 They became good friends.

00:52:00.720 Thomas Paine looked at Benjamin Franklin in the end like a father figure.

00:52:06.280 And he learned how to write.

00:52:09.480 And he was a fantastic writer.

00:52:12.000 And on this day, January 10th, 1776, he wrote something called Common Sense.

00:52:19.600 In it, he said, the cause of America is in great measure, the cause of all mankind.

00:52:28.560 Now, why would he say that?

00:52:29.980 For the same reason I say it today, not the cause of this government.

00:52:39.560 This government, what we're doing right now is not the cause of all mankind.

00:52:43.880 But a government, as envisioned, as Martin Luther King said, these words have meaning in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

00:52:56.600 They have meaning.

00:52:57.940 Live up to those words.

00:53:00.560 We're not even looking at those words anymore.

00:53:03.300 We didn't know if we were going to go to war.

00:53:09.420 We didn't know if we were willing to break away from the king.

00:53:14.620 We were already, you know, having skirmishes.

00:53:18.300 The Minutemen had routed the British Army at Concord in April of the year prior, 1775.

00:53:27.840 New England farmers were now under the leadership of George Washington.

00:53:35.260 I mean, it was not good.

00:53:37.820 So Common Sense was published.

00:53:40.280 To give you some idea of how popular this was, he wrote words like, we have it in our power to begin the world over again, to try something new.

00:53:57.000 It made the argument that we needed to break away from the king and do something entirely different.

00:54:06.820 The estimated population of the colonies at this time was 2.5 million people.

00:54:16.920 The Common Sense, the first printing of it, sold 120,000 copies in the first three months.

00:54:26.040 There are books, a lot of books, that are published that don't sell 120,000 copies today in America with worldwide access to things like Amazon.

00:54:39.720 120,000 copies in the first three months and by the end of the revolution, half a million copies.

00:54:46.060 Now, to give you some idea of how big that was, if you take today's population and you compare the two, so it's apples and apples, that is the equivalent of 66 million copies being sold in America.

00:55:04.860 No book does that.

00:55:07.260 No book does 66 million copies.

00:55:10.020 You're lucky to make it a million seller in today's world.

00:55:17.360 66 million copies.

00:55:21.280 That's pretty amazing.

00:55:23.120 And it had a great effect.

00:55:25.820 And he was just applying common sense.

00:55:32.120 Common sense happened.

00:55:33.900 It got us to the Declaration of Independence.

00:55:36.380 It was such a stunning thing.

00:55:41.600 What America did was so different that even after the war in 17, let's see, this is 1789, I believe.

00:55:52.920 1790, this is 1792.

00:55:55.680 They were still publishing Common Sense and it became a bestseller now in England.

00:56:00.680 After the war, they're like, what the hell just happened?

00:56:04.700 He writes this book in 1776.

00:56:07.980 1792, they're buying it in the streets of England going, what did he say?

00:56:13.440 Why did they do this?

00:56:15.320 But there's a difference.

00:56:17.160 And this is one of the reasons we broke away.

00:56:20.440 And I want you to think about this in the terms of today.

00:56:24.260 There were certain things in Common Sense that you could not say in England.

00:56:31.600 When he wrote it, he knew it was a death sentence because he called the king all kinds of names.

00:56:38.800 And he called him a criminal.

00:56:42.060 So in 1792, we may have been free, but if you bought the copy of Common Sense on the street, and I'm holding a copy of it now from 1792, you actually had to go into the bookseller because there were blanks on the page.

00:57:00.280 And you would say, there are blanks on the page.

00:57:03.600 I know.

00:57:04.220 I can't print them, nor can I sell them.

00:57:06.340 But if you want to commit treason, I'll tell you what it says, and then you'd have to write it down in your own hand so you would go to prison or be executed.

00:57:17.900 And so they would write things like, oh, ye that love mankind, that you dare oppose not only the tyranny, and then there's a blank, but the tyrant.

00:57:29.220 You had to write but the tyrant because you were then calling the king a tyrant.

00:57:34.440 If you look, this is exactly what's going on right now when Facebook is edited, when Twitter is edited, when the government says, you cannot say these things.

00:57:49.640 It's exactly the same thing.

00:57:52.460 I don't need to change history.

00:57:56.320 By changing history, we learn the lessons.

00:58:00.060 We fail to learn the lessons.

00:58:01.640 We learn the lessons that whoever is in power wants you to learn.

00:58:07.780 Well, I don't think the founding fathers wanted to learn any lessons that the king wanted them to learn.

00:58:15.960 They were talking about something entirely new and different.

00:58:21.340 England didn't get that right for many years.

00:58:23.840 We got it because of the revolution and Thomas Paine.

00:58:30.380 But he wrote something else.

00:58:32.800 He is truly a, he's not considered a founding father, but he is part of that and plays an extraordinarily important role.

00:58:44.840 Because he was the narrator.

00:58:47.260 He was the story giver of the revolution.

00:58:50.500 So he gets us to the Declaration of Independence.

00:58:55.560 And everybody's excited because it's all fireworks and sunshine.

00:59:00.160 But what happens when winter arrives?

00:59:03.420 He writes something else.

00:59:05.920 Next.

00:59:06.480 Patrick wrote in about his experience with Relief Factory.

00:59:10.620 He says, I have such great results to report.

00:59:12.840 My knees used to hurt so bad walking around.

00:59:15.420 Sometimes even getting in and out of the car was difficult.

00:59:18.980 I am three months in and I hardly think about my knees now.

00:59:23.280 I'm in my 60s and I can tell you Relief Factor has worked for me.

00:59:28.040 Thank you so much, Relief Factor.

00:59:29.820 Patrick, thank you for giving it a try.

00:59:31.720 70% of the people who order Relief Factor, the trial, go on to order more month after month.

00:59:38.020 ReliefFactor.com.

00:59:39.540 Go there now.

00:59:40.260 $19.95.

00:59:41.400 It's a three-week quick start.

00:59:42.940 If it's working for you, keep taking it.

00:59:45.780 If it's not working within three weeks, it's probably not going to work.

00:59:49.100 It's ReliefFactor.com.

00:59:51.260 800, the number for relief.

00:59:53.820 Relief Factor.

00:59:54.900 Feel the difference.

00:59:56.840 10 seconds.

00:59:57.460 Station ID.

01:00:01.720 Now, I'm going to give you something that you can actually do here in a second that revolves around politics.

01:00:14.760 Something huge happened in the country over the weekend.

01:00:19.320 And I'm going to give you the full story next hour.

01:00:21.320 But I want to give you the highlights of it here in just a minute.

01:00:24.960 But Thomas Paine, we're losing.

01:00:27.980 We, everybody's excited, and then we're losing because we have farmers fighting the battles.

01:00:34.620 And George Washington loses every single battle.

01:00:37.680 He crosses the Delaware, not the famous Delaware crossing.

01:00:41.440 He crosses it back going south.

01:00:44.120 He's in retreat.

01:00:46.100 So wait, how did he get back going the other direction to cross the Delaware again?

01:00:51.740 Everyone was on the march, and Thomas Paine was one of them.

01:00:57.480 And he was someplace not with George Washington.

01:01:00.200 He's hearing the drum, and he hears the drum, and he's thinking to himself,

01:01:04.660 these are the times that try men's souls.

01:01:07.660 The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country.

01:01:13.980 Listen to this.

01:01:14.620 Are you a summer soldier, or are you a sunshine patriot?

01:01:21.160 We are in a crisis as America.

01:01:23.980 Will you shrink from the service of your country?

01:01:27.860 Knowing that, as he said, he that stands by it now deserves the love and the thanks of men and women.

01:01:35.360 Tyranny like hell is not easily conquered. 0.53

01:01:37.860 Yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

01:01:45.160 What we obtain too cheap, think about this in our own lives today.

01:01:49.180 What we attain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.

01:01:53.560 It is dearness only that gives everything its value.

01:01:58.860 Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods.

01:02:01.640 And it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as freedom, should not be highly rated.

01:02:09.860 Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny.

01:02:12.920 Listen, are we not in the same neighborhood?

01:02:19.480 Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right not only to tax,

01:02:25.700 but to bind us in all cases whatsoever.

01:02:31.640 Are you being told exactly what you can and cannot do?

01:02:37.000 Is the federal government binding you in all cases?

01:02:42.220 And if being bound in that matter is not slavery, then there's no such thing as slavery upon the earth.

01:02:47.780 By the way, after he wrote Common Sense, it may have been four.

01:02:52.900 One of the first things that he wrote was a whole series on slavery, the abomination of slavery.

01:03:04.100 So he was against slavery.

01:03:06.720 So don't count him out.

01:03:08.900 He says maybe the war of independence on the continent was declared too soon.

01:03:13.380 Maybe it was delayed too long.

01:03:15.700 But it has to be fought.

01:03:21.040 These are the words of Thomas Paine.

01:03:25.160 This is our history.

01:03:27.060 Can we learn from accurate history?

01:03:30.160 He wrote,

01:03:32.560 It's such an expression, well, give me peace in my day.

01:03:37.740 Not a man lives on the continent but fully believes that a separation must sometime or another finally take place.

01:03:44.300 And a generous parent should say,

01:03:46.620 If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.

01:03:53.900 Shouldn't we be willing to stand now?

01:03:57.280 Just with the debt.

01:04:00.040 Shouldn't we herald the people like the Freedom Caucus last week?

01:04:04.700 Who stood up and said,

01:04:06.240 Enough is enough.

01:04:08.580 Isn't it worth the smears and the fight today?

01:04:12.140 So our children will not be slaves tomorrow.

01:04:16.620 Now, what can you do to help?

01:04:20.780 Well, you can be aware of one thing.

01:04:23.480 There was an announcement on Friday that you need to know about.

01:04:26.720 Good news next.

01:04:28.880 But it needs your support.

01:04:30.820 Last year we participated in a miracle.

01:04:33.600 I am so grateful for you.

01:04:35.220 Tens of thousands of babies who otherwise would not have seen the light of day

01:04:40.360 began to draw breath because of something you were involved in.

01:04:46.620 We live in a pretty dark world,

01:04:49.900 and I don't think there's anything that could call the blessings of heaven down upon our heads more

01:04:54.480 than helping save the unborn. 0.96

01:04:58.300 The ministry of pre-born shines a light into darkness.

01:05:02.500 We, this year, would like to save another 80,000 lives as an audience.

01:05:08.720 Save 80,000 children by the end of this year.

01:05:12.860 We do that by offering money to pay for an ultrasound for pregnant moms who come in, 1.00

01:05:19.880 and they're not sure if they're going to have an abortion or not.

01:05:22.820 Ultrasounds change the decision 80% of the time towards life.

01:05:28.860 Please donate now.

01:05:30.020 Just dial pound 250, say the keyword baby.

01:05:33.240 100% of your donation is going to go to saving babies' lives.

01:05:36.240 One ultrasound is 28 bucks.

01:05:38.500 Less than most dinners.

01:05:39.780 It's pound 250 baby.

01:05:58.480 All right, I want to show you the guardians of history.

01:06:02.680 Things are so bad with our history right now.

01:06:06.420 Things are being taken down, and things are being put up that are absolutely inaccurate.

01:06:10.300 The latest is the Wall of Remembrance, the Wall of Remembrance for the Korean War.

01:06:18.160 If you've been to Washington, D.C., it's a lot like the Vietnam Wall, but this is for the Korean War. 0.65

01:06:24.220 And this is really a cool memorial.

01:06:26.620 It has these soldiers, these statues of these soldiers going through kind of like a Korean forest, if you will.

01:06:34.520 Well, they decided that they wanted to put a wall up with all the names.

01:06:37.820 Twenty-two million dollars this cost us, and I don't know, is it one or two decades to get this done?

01:06:46.980 When it was first proposed that, hey, we like the soldiers, let's put up a wall.

01:06:51.100 The Parks Department said, no wall, no wall, we don't want names.

01:06:53.780 We don't want it.

01:06:55.100 Why?

01:06:56.120 Because when the Vietnam War, the wall went up, there were names that were missing.

01:07:00.320 Somebody has to make the decision on who is actually a Vietnam War veteran.

01:07:08.400 For instance, one of the examples was a nurse.

01:07:11.040 She's flying over to go to Vietnam, but she's not engaged in Vietnam yet.

01:07:16.360 Her plane crashes in Europe.

01:07:18.480 Should her name go on the wall?

01:07:21.000 Some people would say, well, yeah, she was enlisted.

01:07:23.740 She was on her way.

01:07:24.840 Others would say, no, that wasn't combat.

01:07:26.320 That was in Europe.

01:07:28.060 And it had nothing to do with the military.

01:07:29.720 This must be an impossible task.

01:07:31.920 Impossible.

01:07:32.080 That's why the Parks Department said, we don't want anything to do with a wall.

01:07:36.040 We've already seen this.

01:07:37.160 We learned our lesson.

01:07:38.140 We've seen this movie before.

01:07:39.520 Correct.

01:07:40.120 Yeah.

01:07:40.720 Congress didn't care.

01:07:42.760 Congress said, no, no, this is great.

01:07:45.180 We're going to put them all.

01:07:46.280 The Parks Department said, okay, if you do that, we want it in the bill that it is the Pentagon

01:07:52.720 that makes the list.

01:07:54.600 We have nothing to do with it.

01:07:57.780 Okay?

01:07:58.220 So they were so adamant about it that the Pentagon, it was written that the Pentagon is the one

01:08:04.040 and the Pentagon could not take any outside advisor counsel.

01:08:08.580 Okay.

01:08:09.220 Let's just think about this for a second.

01:08:11.180 The Pentagon has to look through 56,000 names that they said died in the Korean War, but there

01:08:17.580 were only 36,000.

01:08:19.520 So they have it wrong in the first place.

01:08:22.540 Okay.

01:08:22.780 They went with that one for about 20 years.

01:08:25.360 And then they were like, oh, whoops.

01:08:27.100 I guess there's some other people there that died that really weren't even there.

01:08:30.300 Had nothing to do with it.

01:08:31.340 They got it down to 36,000 names.

01:08:33.420 They couldn't take any outside of ice.

01:08:36.380 So they've got a couple of problems with the wall now.

01:08:40.840 In fact, about 1,500 problems.

01:08:43.360 There are people that were there that were not listed, people that weren't there that are listed.

01:08:51.980 I like this one.

01:08:53.180 Frederick Bald Eagle Bear.

01:08:54.940 He's an army corporal who was killed as he rallied his infantry squad to fend off an enemy attack.

01:09:01.840 He's part of the Lakota tribe.

01:09:03.600 Well, because the Pentagon's records were all on cards, you know, computer cards that I don't even know if you have the computer to use it anymore and could not could not use hyphenated names.

01:09:19.560 The guy who is called Frederick Bald Eagle Bear, he's listed as Eagle B.F. Bald.

01:09:30.360 Not good.

01:09:31.540 Not good.

01:09:31.840 Eagle B.F.

01:09:33.080 Bald.

01:09:33.600 Yeah, not good.

01:09:35.600 Also, I might want to point out that there's some other people that, you know, they have their name up there.

01:09:44.220 And they, well, one of the guys was killed in a motorcycle accident in Hawaii.

01:09:50.320 Another guy who drank antifreeze thinking it was alcohol.

01:09:55.060 And another guy who lived for 60 years after the Korean War had eight grandchildren.

01:10:00.420 He didn't die in the war at all.

01:10:02.140 His name is up on the wall.

01:10:03.600 Twenty-two million dollars.

01:10:06.820 They now say the whole thing has to be taken down and redone.

01:10:11.120 Wait, they can't, they can't correct?

01:10:13.560 There's no way to correct it.

01:10:14.240 You should put some putty in there?

01:10:15.740 Yeah.

01:10:16.160 White out? 0.74

01:10:16.840 Yeah, no, it's not good.

01:10:17.980 Yeah, no, it's not good.

01:10:19.180 The whole story is in my morning briefing.

01:10:21.300 You can get it at glenbeck.com.

01:10:22.680 It's an amazing story in its entirety.

01:10:25.580 But this is, our history is under attack from so many angles.

01:10:32.160 This one, just sheer incompetence.

01:10:35.380 You want to give the government the keys to truth and history?

01:10:42.000 Really?

01:10:42.800 Because they're not doing a really good job here.

01:10:45.920 Their own department.

01:10:47.400 The department, the department of war, the department of defense, the ones that keeps all the records.

01:10:53.020 They, uh, we don't.

01:10:55.200 Nope.

01:10:55.620 I have no idea who these people are.

01:10:57.380 Now, let me tell you a good step, but it's going to need your support.

01:11:06.240 Friday, Brondesantis began a process of transforming Sarasota's new college of Florida into a little more conservative.

01:11:19.660 Now, this is a progressive college.

01:11:21.900 It's been floundering for years, but it is a, it's the new college, like the new school in New York. 0.96

01:11:28.760 It's a progressive college that's been teaching garbage forever and struggling.

01:11:35.040 So, because it's a state school, the governor said, well, it's floundering. 0.96

01:11:40.400 We could shut it down or we could reform it.

01:11:43.060 You know what?

01:11:43.860 Let's reform it.

01:11:44.720 So, he appointed, uh, six new board members and they're a little more conservative.

01:11:52.920 Uh, the dean at Hillsdale college is one of them.

01:11:57.960 A senior fellow at the Claremont Institute is another one.

01:12:02.400 And Christopher Ruffo is also on the board of directors.

01:12:07.440 Christopher is going to be joining us in about an hour.

01:12:09.160 So, Christopher Ruffo, who is he?

01:12:13.020 He's the activist that has been exposing everything that, all the poison that is in our schools.

01:12:20.520 They hate him.

01:12:22.020 They hate him.

01:12:25.100 You have to hang on that H that long to describe how much they hate him.

01:12:29.480 They hate him.

01:12:31.420 Okay, so here's what, uh, the Florida education commissioner said.

01:12:35.680 It's our hope that new college of Florida will become Florida's classical college more along the lines of a, his Hillsdale of the South.

01:12:45.080 Oh, they hate all of these people.

01:12:50.060 Turning new college into a Florida version of Hillsdale is flipping the entire thing upside down.

01:12:57.560 And DeSantis has just said, it is time to take, uh, charge of our schools.

01:13:05.500 Our schools are completely out of control and it is time to take them back.

01:13:12.100 A man. 0.99

01:13:14.320 How many governors have the balls to do this? 0.99

01:13:19.000 There, you know, I said this to you last week in Florida, there are signs that come up. 0.99

01:13:25.160 And I think they may be coming from the administration.

01:13:27.720 I don't know, but it says the free state of Florida.

01:13:31.480 And when you listen to DeSantis talk, he talks about always the free state of Florida.

01:13:37.980 Amen.

01:13:39.700 That should be a goal for all of us.

01:13:42.960 Why are we not the free state of Texas?

01:13:45.440 We are relatively much more free than places up North, but we're not the free state of Texas.

01:13:58.260 We should all be striving and pushing our governors and our legislatures to pass things that make us free men and women.

01:14:09.100 Women unencumbered by this nonsense that is being jammed down everyone's throat. 1.00

01:14:17.140 So here's what I, here's what I want you to do.

01:14:20.780 I want you to read up on this.

01:14:22.720 You can find the story.

01:14:24.300 Um, just look for, uh, Sarasota's new college.

01:14:28.280 Okay.

01:14:28.820 You can get the story at glenbeck.com or just look for Sarasota's new college, Florida's new college,

01:14:33.920 and support this in every way you can.

01:14:37.420 They are going to be coming with switch blades and automatic guns.

01:14:44.660 They are going to be, it won't be a 22.

01:14:47.760 They'll be coming with proverbial 45 caliber, uh, weapons to this fight.

01:14:55.000 And it will have an endless, what do they call it?

01:14:58.720 Clip of ammunition.

01:15:01.480 Uh, so we need to be prepared to stand up and, uh, fight back, but that is fight back the right way.

01:15:12.120 You know, that I was earlier, I was reading to you the, um, uh, Thomas pain, American crisis.

01:15:18.840 And in it, he says, in fact, I want to read it to you exactly in it.

01:15:23.280 He says, I have as little superstition in me as any man living, but my secret opinion has ever been and still is that God almighty will not give up a people to military destruction or to leave them unsupported to perish.

01:15:42.560 Here's the important part who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war.

01:15:52.080 By every decent method, which wisdom could invent, neither have I so much the infidel in me as to suppose that he has relinquished the government of the world and given us up to the care of devils. 0.69

01:16:07.560 And as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds, the king of Britain can look up to heaven and ask for help.

01:16:14.340 I cannot imagine how the progressive movement that is pushing the slaughter of innocence can look up and say, Lord, help us.

01:16:26.700 Knowing that as Lincoln said, God is not on our side, he doesn't pick sides.

01:16:37.820 He wants all of his children to be redeemed and rescued.

01:16:41.120 So they are in error, I believe, but God does not want them slaughtered.

01:16:49.700 God does not, he wants peace and love and understanding and we must do everything we can to remain peaceful, kind, loving, doing all of the things that we can in our power and he will pick up the slack.

01:17:05.440 But if we don't, if we are conniving or anything else, he cannot bless us.

01:17:12.280 So, do everything in your power and not one thing more.

01:17:23.140 All right.

01:17:24.260 It is so hard to get good help these days.

01:17:26.640 Sometimes when you want to do something right, you have to say, no, don't involve Stu in it at all.

01:17:32.040 So, anyway, if you're looking for a real estate agent, don't call Stu.

01:17:41.680 Don't call Stu.

01:17:42.320 I would agree.

01:17:42.940 I'm not a real estate agent, so you should.

01:17:44.940 I mean, even as your friend, don't ask him.

01:17:47.320 Don't ask him.

01:17:47.980 Don't ask him for advice on anything.

01:17:49.940 If you were to ask me how to get a good real estate agent, I would say realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:17:54.580 That's right.

01:17:54.840 You know why?

01:17:55.580 Because you have been under the tutelage of a master for a very long time.

01:18:01.020 Really?

01:18:01.460 That's why?

01:18:02.040 That's why.

01:18:02.380 That's why it would happen.

01:18:02.940 And it's my company, and I'd fire you if you said differently. 0.78

01:18:05.740 Anyway, the mediocre real estate agents are everywhere.

01:18:09.820 You want the ones that have the best practices, know how to deal with any kind of economic

01:18:17.160 situation, know how to get you the best deal going in and going out of real estate transactions.

01:18:23.160 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:18:25.240 We'll give you the name of somebody in your area that we think has the best practices and will give you

01:18:31.220 the best experience.

01:18:33.140 We monitor these people.

01:18:35.120 We are in touch with you.

01:18:36.560 This is my company.

01:18:38.020 We want to make sure that everything is as best as it can be for you because I know how

01:18:43.700 much it sucks selling or buying a house.

01:18:45.560 Realestateagentsitrust.com. 0.91

01:18:47.900 It is a free service to you.

01:18:51.020 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:18:52.260 We have Cali Means on with us coming up in a second.

01:19:17.200 He is the author and co-founder of True Medicine, and he has put out a Twitter thread recently.

01:19:25.340 He was just on Tucker Carlson as well.

01:19:28.560 He formally consulted for Coca-Cola, and he said, in my dealings there, I was in the room

01:19:38.840 when the Koch people said, look, we'll give you millions of dollars, and we'll give it

01:19:43.560 to the NAACP and the Hispanic Federation.

01:19:47.180 We'll give it directly and through front groups, but they can't call us racist anymore.

01:19:51.700 And he's blown the whistle on them, and we'll talk about that.

01:20:00.160 Also, kind of goes right along with what he believes.

01:20:05.360 There is a new sheriff in town with the American Pediatrics.

01:20:12.540 I think it's the American Pediatrics, maybe the AMA.

01:20:15.280 But they're now talking about gastric bypass for children like 10 years old, and has anybody

01:20:25.360 talked about maybe some sugar?

01:20:28.040 We get rid of some of the sugar in our own diets by choice.

01:20:32.420 By choice.

01:20:33.700 There's a reason why everybody else's kids around the world are kind of healthy.

01:20:39.380 They go outside and play.

01:20:40.680 They're not on the computer all the time, and they're not eating an American diet.

01:20:46.020 Yeah, I don't know that they're all healthy.

01:20:48.120 Honestly, I don't think you could make the generalization.

01:20:50.760 In comparison?

01:20:51.320 Pause.

01:20:52.120 We certainly have some cultural factors here.

01:20:54.240 Yeah, I mean, not Russia, whose kids at 10 are alcoholics on potato vodka.

01:21:00.060 Right.

01:21:00.400 I will say, I'm a little torn on this one, because I don't...

01:21:03.420 Look, I don't think surgery for kids is a good idea.

01:21:05.600 Sure.

01:21:05.920 But on the other hand, I really do...

01:21:08.440 Like, I don't like the approach, okay, well, you can control this, and it's a disease, and

01:21:13.660 it makes me uncomfortable, because obviously, if you eat less, you can lose weight.

01:21:17.760 On the other hand, I really want a fat pill.

01:21:20.340 Like, I 100% want to encourage these companies.

01:21:23.540 I don't care what the side effects are.

01:21:24.840 I'm growing extra arms out of my head.

01:21:27.180 I'm fine with it.

01:21:29.000 Yeah, but look how skinny I am.

01:21:30.920 I don't care.

01:21:31.400 And I have a third hand to point to my svelte shape.

01:21:35.980 Right.

01:21:36.620 Maybe we can start selling arms in the black market and make it profitable.

01:21:39.820 Whatever.

01:21:40.320 He's an arms dealer. 0.81

01:21:42.020 Yeah, he just cuts them off his forehead. 0.63

01:21:43.920 An arms dealer.

01:21:47.860 That's amazing.

01:21:49.060 No, I...

01:21:49.680 Look, we can all say that if you just cut sugar out of your diet and exercise more, come on,

01:21:57.240 we all know.

01:21:57.920 And then look at us.

01:21:59.460 Like, if this was just a radio show, maybe we'd have some credibility saying these things.

01:22:04.220 However, people have eyes, and they can see us.

01:22:07.280 And we all know that if we eat better, we would look better.

01:22:10.900 And we still don't do it, despite incredible pressures of our industry to look better.

01:22:16.640 I know.

01:22:16.920 We have an entire network built on people who look like us.

01:22:20.240 Yeah.

01:22:20.500 With some exceptions.

01:22:22.160 And there are a few people who look good.

01:22:24.580 Very obvious exceptions.

01:22:26.060 And, you know, with all those incentives, we're still giant fat people.

01:22:31.260 I will tell you that I am on a full week cleanse.

01:22:34.800 Okay.

01:22:36.440 Against my will.

01:22:38.280 It's my wife.

01:22:40.060 Oh, and the doctor.

01:22:41.300 Hey, you should do this. 1.00

01:22:42.560 Shut up. 1.00

01:22:43.040 What a doctor's no. 1.00

01:22:44.640 Yeah, right?

01:22:45.660 Well, you remember...

01:22:46.320 Oh, wear a mask.

01:22:47.200 Yeah, see?

01:22:47.700 Do a cleanse.

01:22:48.320 Now we can now get rid of...

01:22:49.240 Eat less.

01:22:50.020 Exercise. 1.00

01:22:50.780 Shut up. 1.00

01:23:19.320 I want you to ask your financial advisor a few simple, simple questions.

01:23:23.680 Is my money being used in the last few years to vote for the kind of policies that I don't agree with?

01:23:29.220 Are you basing it on ESG at all?

01:23:33.600 Racial equity audits?

01:23:35.040 Carbon emission caps?

01:23:37.280 The answer most likely will be, I don't know.

01:23:40.780 That's not good enough.

01:23:43.480 Vivek Rameshwamy is a friend of mine.

01:23:45.260 He founded Strive, and he's trying to fix that problem.

01:25:19.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:27.680 Hello, America.

01:25:29.220 So we have wondered for a while, how do all these corporations, why are they going woke?

01:25:36.580 How does that help them?

01:25:39.120 The answer has always been follow the money.

01:25:41.380 Perhaps that is just as simple as that.

01:25:44.640 A whistleblower, co-founder of TruMed, a guy who was in the room with Coca-Cola as they paid

01:25:52.620 millions to the NAACP to label parents racist if they opposed sugary diets.

01:26:01.200 It is quite a story.

01:26:03.480 Callie Means joins us in 60 seconds.

01:26:06.880 So the main reason why I feel it's necessary to prepare for a disaster as I come on this

01:26:14.780 program, I encourage you to look in to putting some of your money into gold or silver.

01:26:19.300 The main reason is I'm a student of history.

01:26:22.360 I have seen how certain things, especially the really bad things, tend to happen over and over

01:26:28.380 again, and we repeat mistakes.

01:26:32.280 We might relabel them.

01:26:34.580 You know, money printing is now modern monetary policy.

01:26:39.200 It's still the same bullcrap that it was in the 1930s.

01:26:42.940 It won't work.

01:26:45.380 We are not living in a capitalist society.

01:26:48.280 We haven't lived in a capitalist society for quite some time.

01:26:50.900 We're a hybrid, and we're at the breaking point of that, and the way our Fed has managed

01:26:58.460 our money supply is completely reckless, completely reckless.

01:27:04.160 So what are you going to do?

01:27:06.660 I have shored up myself and my family with gold and silver.

01:27:14.120 Now, it's not like, don't put everything you have in it.

01:27:16.540 Don't do anything crazy.

01:27:17.780 You want to spread your risk out across many things because you don't know what tomorrow

01:27:23.900 brings.

01:27:25.220 Goldline has an awesome special that I want you to look into with every tube of the new

01:27:30.200 quarter ounce Mayflower Gold Commemorative.

01:27:32.880 This is to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower.

01:27:36.680 They're beautiful coins.

01:27:38.200 You're going to receive 100 of the same Mayflower copper rounds at no additional cost.

01:27:43.980 Don't wait to call.

01:27:44.980 These are going to sell out.

01:27:46.360 Call 866-GOLDLINE, 866-GOLDLINE, or goldline.com.

01:27:54.620 All right.

01:27:55.740 You know, I don't think we understand why these companies do what they do.

01:28:02.320 And I think the first time that we saw, or we should look to seeing where companies change

01:28:10.020 was Occupy Wall Street.

01:28:11.240 Those banks were being protested, and they sat in front of the streets, and most people

01:28:17.140 think, ah, it just died out.

01:28:18.360 No, I believe that there were deals made.

01:28:21.500 Look, leave us alone, and we'll help you do X, Y, or Z. 0.73

01:28:26.280 There are very few giant corporations, I think, that are true to, you know, even their advertising.

01:28:39.920 You know, I want to teach the world to sing.

01:28:42.340 Do you, Coke?

01:28:43.260 We have Cali Means on the phone with us now.

01:28:49.140 He is the co-founder of TrueMed, and he's a whistleblower on Coca-Cola.

01:28:54.480 Hello, Cali.

01:28:56.100 How are you doing, Glenn?

01:28:57.020 I'm good.

01:28:58.060 I'm good.

01:28:59.420 So tell me your story from the beginning.

01:29:02.800 Before we get into the Coca-Cola, tell me who you are, where you came from, and how you

01:29:09.300 got here.

01:29:11.780 Yeah, I was born and raised in the swamp.

01:29:14.080 I was born and raised in Georgetown.

01:29:15.960 Very ideological.

01:29:17.600 Worked in politics early in my career.

01:29:20.020 Worked for John McCain.

01:29:21.380 Got into, you know, most people after the campaigns get into consulting.

01:29:25.220 Then I found myself in the rooms with pharma executives, soda executives, and seeing some

01:29:30.460 very alarming things.

01:29:31.440 So slowly, slowly got out of that, got more into entrepreneurship, and just kind of grounded

01:29:37.880 in that public policy standpoint, had become very passionate.

01:29:40.740 I think when you look at what's happening with kids, 25% of young adults having prediabetes,

01:29:45.640 what's happening to the health of Americans, there's something being rigged, and it's a

01:29:49.100 first-order issue because, you know, depression and disease is just skyrocketing.

01:29:53.120 Life expectancy is declining.

01:29:54.400 And I really tied it back to my early experience and, you know, have a new company that's trying

01:29:59.180 to change those incentives.

01:30:00.040 But, you know, with the new son and looking at the world he's going into, I felt the need

01:30:04.000 to speak out.

01:30:05.060 Okay.

01:30:05.200 So you were, and were you on the side of Coca-Cola at the time when they were talking about,

01:30:13.040 you know, the sugary drinks and Snap?

01:30:17.040 Yeah.

01:30:17.480 Unfortunately, there's not a big lobby for diabetic children.

01:30:21.040 But, you know, so Coke's throwing a lot of money around in D.C., and the consultants

01:30:25.820 are almost, you know, universally on the side of the soda companies, the American Beverage

01:30:29.880 Associations, the various front groups, and pharma.

01:30:33.420 And so what happened?

01:30:34.900 You were there, and you were fighting for Coca-Cola or Big Soda, and you were in the room,

01:30:43.500 and what did you witness?

01:30:46.780 Yeah, I think this is really instructive.

01:30:48.900 And it's from 2012 and instructive now because this is up for debate again.

01:30:53.300 But, you know, this was around food stamps.

01:30:55.500 So food stamps is a program that 15% of the American people depend on food nutrition.

01:30:59.560 We can debate whether it's a good program or not, but it's there.

01:31:01.920 And shockingly, 10% of that is spent on sugary drinks, 10% of a $110 billion government nutrition

01:31:09.340 program.

01:31:09.880 It's a material part of Coke and Pepsi's revenue.

01:31:12.660 And logically, people were questioning that, and Coke wanted to keep the status quo.

01:31:16.820 So the playbook they used is the playbook, you know, as old as time and absolutely still

01:31:22.260 used today, and it's a three-part stool.

01:31:24.820 The first was identifying civil rights organizations, in this case, the NAACP.

01:31:30.100 And what was shocking being in the room as, you know, kind of a bad scene.

01:31:36.140 I mean, these old, you know, Coke executives basically dictating what the NAACP should say.

01:31:41.540 It's very transactional.

01:31:42.500 They say the quiet part out loud.

01:31:44.260 Coke gave the NAACP millions of dollars, and they explicitly agreed to call opponents,

01:31:49.840 in this case, parents who are concerned their children are, you know, ingesting 100 times

01:31:54.040 more sugar than they did 100 years ago, racist.

01:31:56.720 It is that simple.

01:31:58.220 But it's bipartisan.

01:31:59.180 Listen, the second leg of the stool was, you know, we paid off, pay-to-play conservative

01:32:03.760 think tanks on the left and the right, but the Heritage Foundation is a big player in

01:32:07.780 the pay-to-play scheme.

01:32:08.640 And it's basically a corporate-owned entity ordering a study from the Heritage Foundation.

01:32:11.780 It's like going to McDonald's and ordering a Big Mac.

01:32:13.920 You get whatever you want.

01:32:15.620 And then the third...

01:32:16.220 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:32:17.140 I want to make sure I understand this.

01:32:18.500 You're saying that part of, you know, big corporations' plans, which I absolutely believe, is to order

01:32:27.000 studies.

01:32:29.300 Oh, yeah.

01:32:29.680 But they go to the Heritage Foundation.

01:32:31.800 One of them, you say they're on both left and right, but one of them was the Heritage Foundation.

01:32:37.080 Yeah, and I think it's important to call out.

01:32:38.580 I mean, the elites on both sides are getting bought off.

01:32:40.680 And, yeah, the way it works at the Heritage Foundation is you get a fundraising point.

01:32:45.860 The fundraising point escorts the Koch executives or the pharma executives into the Heritage

01:32:49.800 Foundation to meet with the scholar.

01:32:51.100 You talk high-level concepts, and then the fundraising point, you know, basically guarantees

01:32:55.660 that a study is going to say what they want it to say, and there's an exchange of funds.

01:33:00.380 Interestingly, and I think importantly, I also have seen, you know, oil companies and other,

01:33:05.340 you know, special interests pay the Heritage Foundation and other conservative think tanks to

01:33:09.020 not call something a tax.

01:33:10.420 I mean, you know, Grover Norquist, the Heritage Foundation, this whole DC influence, you know,

01:33:15.420 network actually has redefined often what a tax is.

01:33:19.100 So you can actually buy publicity to rail against the tax, of course, but you can also pay these

01:33:25.840 organizations to redefine something as a tax that benefits them.

01:33:29.420 There was something that I saw that I talked about in the first hour of today's podcast of

01:33:34.780 there's this new study out by the, you know, Greening of the World Foundation or whatever

01:33:42.560 it is, a Global Warming Foundation, new study that shows that gas stoves and all natural gas

01:33:50.260 should be taken out of homes because it's too dangerous for kids with asthma.

01:33:54.340 And the first thing I thought was, oh, really, the Global Warming study came back with that.

01:34:00.300 What a surprise.

01:34:01.700 And everything that we do now in politics is based on some study.

01:34:07.700 And you're saying you can't trust the study from either side.

01:34:13.900 Well, you know, I think I think that's very importantly, and I think Global Warming's a

01:34:17.300 great example.

01:34:17.860 When there's trillions of dollars at play, you can guarantee that financial industry are

01:34:22.700 rigging the institutions that trust.

01:34:24.100 And I think I think the third place we went on this on this stop, that's that's the playbook

01:34:28.460 is, I think, actually the most important.

01:34:30.320 And I think the least understood large, you know, prominent elite research universities,

01:34:36.580 in my opinion, are nothing more than public relations entities of corporate interests.

01:34:41.660 They're exactly what Eisenhower warned about in his farewell address.

01:34:46.980 Exactly.

01:34:47.500 I mean, he said big military, industrial corporations and educations will just start selling out and

01:34:56.560 producing the studies that corporations or the government wants.

01:35:01.640 Yeah, there's nothing more prominent or unimpeachable still today in the media on the left and the

01:35:08.440 right as like a peer reviewed study from elite research institution.

01:35:12.100 But you've got to ask who's funding these studies.

01:35:14.360 You can have a peer reviewed study, say whatever you want.

01:35:16.740 You can ask whatever question you want.

01:35:18.200 You can structure the study however you want.

01:35:19.740 So I think what's really relevant for this issue I really care about, which is the nutrition,

01:35:23.480 the hijacking of American nutrition is, you know, the disastrous 1990s food pyramid.

01:35:28.980 That was on foundational research from Harvard University, from the head of nutrition at Harvard

01:35:32.960 University, directly paid for by sugar.

01:35:35.300 You know, it leads up to today to the latest NIH funded.

01:35:38.120 It's called the Food Compass.

01:35:39.460 The most they held it as the most most complex and important nutrition study, you know, in modern

01:35:45.560 times, it says Fruit Loops are more nutritious than eggs by processed food companies.

01:35:53.300 It says Honey Nut Cheerios is more more nutritious than organic ground beef.

01:35:57.600 So so that that's still getting and you look at it, Coca-Cola and processed food companies spend

01:36:06.180 11 times more money on basic nutritional research, funding basic nutritional research universities

01:36:12.300 than the NIH.

01:36:13.460 And even the NIH is just a grant making organization.

01:36:16.440 And in the case of this Food Compass I just mentioned, it's actually often more often than

01:36:20.820 not funding professors who have other financial incentives to the topic they're studying.

01:36:25.680 So so really, we need to absolutely like again, I'm looking at like PR consultants at Washington,

01:36:33.300 you know, dictate to prominent professors what they should be finding in their research.

01:36:38.760 It's pretty unsettling.

01:36:40.820 So how do we fix this or what do we trust as a?

01:36:45.360 I mean, personally, I think there is some common sense in some people alive today that would

01:36:54.600 say, you know, let's just let's say, how about how about moderation in all things would be

01:37:01.300 a good place to start.

01:37:03.100 But what do you trust if there's if all of these institutions are blown?

01:37:08.840 Yeah.

01:37:09.100 So as I'll talk, I think health is a specific area that I think is impactful to everyone and

01:37:13.900 it's a framework.

01:37:15.240 But let's look at what happened has happened in health in the past 40 years.

01:37:18.620 I think the patient has been systematically disempowered and in fear and really by extension

01:37:23.200 in the American people.

01:37:24.220 Right.

01:37:24.860 It's like, don't don't self-diagnose.

01:37:26.780 Don't trust.

01:37:27.560 You don't question the science.

01:37:29.420 Trust the science.

01:37:30.740 You know, the American patient has been battered into like not questioning anything and basically

01:37:35.380 in total fear.

01:37:36.460 So, you know, the first step and this is why it's important to get this out there is to

01:37:40.740 wake up a little bit is to ask and look around your children's classroom.

01:37:43.960 Look at the fact that most children are obese.

01:37:46.100 You know, as I said, 25 percent have prediabetes, which used to be called adult onset diabetes.

01:37:50.740 You know, look, look at what's happening to the health of the adults and just start questioning

01:37:54.320 things a little bit and question when you see that news article with the new peer-reviewed

01:37:57.960 study and question whether it makes sense that food loops are more, you know, healthier

01:38:01.760 than eggs or or beef.

01:38:03.800 So that that's the first part.

01:38:06.000 And I think that is happening.

01:38:07.400 I mean, I think we've got a lot of people speaking out.

01:38:10.100 I'm encouraged that a lot of folks, you know, nutrition's been an issue on the left, but

01:38:14.640 I think the right's really waking up, you know, looking at male sperm count plummeting

01:38:18.460 50 percent in the past 40 years.

01:38:20.440 What do you think that's caused by?

01:38:22.860 Any idea?

01:38:24.400 Yeah, I don't think it's very complicated, Glenn.

01:38:25.820 And I think I think, you know, the foundation of the American diet right now, the foundation

01:38:31.080 is processed grains, which which is basically weaponizing, you know, whole grains to take

01:38:36.240 the fiber out, which which basically makes it immediate sugar impact in the blood, makes

01:38:39.980 the food addictive.

01:38:41.240 You know, 70 percent of food is processed food, which is the foundation is processed grains,

01:38:45.700 seed oils, which is a very refined, cheap oil and added sugar.

01:38:49.520 Seed oils and processed grains didn't exist 100 years ago.

01:38:51.680 These are new inventions.

01:38:52.600 These are processed inventions.

01:38:53.620 And then added sugar really didn't exist until 100 years ago.

01:38:57.640 It's gone up 100 X in 100 years.

01:39:00.600 So really, the foundation of the American diet has been weaponized to be highly addictive,

01:39:06.180 highly inflammatory.

01:39:08.520 And and it's just evolutionarily.

01:39:10.980 We're not made to do and we're being we're being gaslit.

01:39:14.000 Right.

01:39:14.520 You know, just just just yesterday, the American Association of Pediatrics, which is a wholly

01:39:20.040 owned subsidiary of pharma, but still a trusted institution, said that to come to the

01:39:23.600 combat this obesity that preteens are experiencing, they should get a weekly or monthly injection

01:39:29.580 for the rest of their lives.

01:39:30.840 This new big pharma obesity cure.

01:39:33.460 So it's like I really think that there's this axis where food companies have basically

01:39:39.060 weaponized food.

01:39:40.160 Everyone's getting sick.

01:39:41.440 Everyone's getting overweight.

01:39:43.000 But but our trusted medical institutions turn a blind eye because there's a trillion dollars

01:39:46.760 spent on statins now.

01:39:48.120 Metformin, you know, all these drugs.

01:39:50.200 Interestingly, all these things these drugs are treating have gone up.

01:39:54.180 Diabetes has gone up.

01:39:55.780 Heart disease.

01:39:56.260 So so there's this there's this blind eye from the medical system.

01:39:59.400 So to answer your question, you know, it's education.

01:40:02.340 There's also some public policies.

01:40:03.840 We have some crony capitalist systems.

01:40:06.960 I mean, and this and this you can take to any.

01:40:09.520 You think?

01:40:10.660 Hang on.

01:40:11.200 Hang on.

01:40:11.560 Just a second.

01:40:12.120 Hold on for just a second.

01:40:13.200 I want to come back.

01:40:13.800 Let me just take one minute to tell you about relief factor sleep.

01:40:17.740 Um, if you have trouble sleeping at night, getting to sleep, the last thing I want to

01:40:23.940 take is some some drug.

01:40:25.460 I don't I don't want to take a drug.

01:40:27.280 I don't want to.

01:40:27.800 And they always whack you out.

01:40:29.560 But there are times when you just toss and turn and toss and turn.

01:40:32.500 Um, about four or five months ago, a relief factor came to me and they said, hey, we have

01:40:37.920 this new sleep thing.

01:40:39.440 Do you have problems sleeping?

01:40:40.380 And my wife really does. 0.97

01:40:41.920 I do as well.

01:40:43.120 Um, and it is completely, uh, natural.

01:40:47.840 There's no drugs in it.

01:40:49.520 And all it does is really just kind of just reduce the, uh, uh, distress and, uh, and help

01:40:56.960 you relax a little bit.

01:40:57.980 But I take a couple of them before I go to sleep and man, I have the best night's sleep

01:41:02.720 and I wake up refreshed again.

01:41:04.560 It's all natural.

01:41:06.520 Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800.

01:41:10.020 The number four relief 800.

01:41:11.840 The number four relief, go to relieffactor.com dream big sleep tight, uh, with relief factor

01:41:20.320 sleep 10 seconds station.

01:41:22.280 I mean, it is, it is so clear to me, uh, at least we're talking to Cali means, um, he

01:41:39.020 is the co-founder of true med.

01:41:41.300 You can follow him, uh, at Cali means spelled with a C Cali means.com as well.

01:41:47.500 Um, it is so clear to me when you look at us compared to the rest of the world, something

01:41:54.580 is up with our diet.

01:41:57.320 It is clear.

01:41:58.100 And even common sense tells you we didn't grow up with peanut allergies.

01:42:02.640 We didn't have gluten-free everything.

01:42:05.740 We've done something really bad to our food and our diet.

01:42:09.640 Yeah, Glenn.

01:42:12.980 And to me, you know, uh, you know, growing up as a, as a conservative, you know, considering,

01:42:19.280 considering that my philosophy, I think, I think it's good.

01:42:23.220 People are waking up on this because to me, it's a first order issue.

01:42:26.360 If we care about individual liberty, right.

01:42:29.020 Like the, the most important thing is the, is the ability of our brains.

01:42:33.040 And I'm not going to try to get too deep here, but like, like our brain, diabetes is

01:42:36.800 cellular dysfunction is literally the cells malfunctioning.

01:42:39.700 80, 20% of the cells are in our brain.

01:42:41.340 Like, like we are basically like, like that is the first order issue of like our human capital.

01:42:47.860 Um, and it's, it's not just people being overweight, you know, depression is skyrocketing.

01:42:52.260 Infertility is off the charts.

01:42:53.460 As I mentioned, the male sperm count, uh, PCOS leading cause of female infertility is, is, is,

01:42:58.300 is off the charts.

01:42:59.680 Um, we, we really are facing, you know, and getting exponentially sick or fat or more depressed

01:43:04.040 and more infertile. 0.51

01:43:04.940 And, uh, and that's a first order issue.

01:43:06.900 And it's, it's, and then, and then you get to the market and people say, well, we don't

01:43:10.960 want, you know, Coke, it's free choice.

01:43:12.660 People I'm all for it.

01:43:13.880 I'm libertarian.

01:43:14.760 Like, well, let's have people drink Coke.

01:43:16.260 It shouldn't be paid for with tens of billions of dollars of a government program.

01:43:20.040 That's not a free market.

01:43:21.100 That's a rigged system.

01:43:21.960 So right now we have rigged the system and you do not have a free market, you know, and I think

01:43:27.840 conservatives, even, even some, some very, you know, well-meaning, smart conservatives

01:43:31.520 that, that, that I know, you know, if you even mentioned taking food, uh, Coke away from

01:43:35.620 food stamps, it's, Oh, that, that, that's patriarchal.

01:43:37.780 No, no.

01:43:38.020 What's happening right now, the system is rigged right now.

01:43:41.000 The system is rigged to give a 12 year old an injection of a pharma drug, uh, instead of

01:43:46.780 talking to them and working with the parents to, to get them healthier.

01:43:49.980 You are preaching to the choir, especially with ESG and everything else.

01:43:54.200 They are planning on redesigning our food, what food is good for us, what's not.

01:44:00.180 And it is all fixed.

01:44:02.420 I mean, I can't get conservatives, um, who are in power, uh, to understand, and maybe it's

01:44:08.160 because they're on the take that this is not messing with the free market.

01:44:13.380 ESG is messing with the free market.

01:44:15.840 You've got the government and corporations designing where they want the world to go.

01:44:22.860 And we're not really offered the choice.

01:44:26.160 We're being told lies, fake studies or paid for studies.

01:44:30.840 Uh, and then we're, then we just find ourselves in this situation.

01:44:36.000 And I think it's getting extraordinarily dangerous.

01:44:40.200 Absolutely.

01:44:41.220 Um, absolutely.

01:44:42.220 And, and you just, you know, you, you look at Bill Gates being the largest farm owner

01:44:47.520 country, you know, making processed food.

01:44:50.520 It's just like, you kind of start, you know, going through the, and it's, it's, um, you don't

01:44:56.240 want to be too conspiratorial, but you know, what is happening to the American people?

01:44:59.720 And, you know, just to your, just your question about what people do.

01:45:03.160 I mean, I think, I think hopefully, you know, people listening to this and it's been a big

01:45:06.480 awakening for me in the past couple of years and just waking up and starting asking questions.

01:45:09.760 Um, I think there's one actual public policy, you know, thing you gotta, you gotta ask with

01:45:14.040 your public policy, what, what, uh, helps people stay healthy.

01:45:17.360 And I actually think it's a good policy.

01:45:19.420 The FSA HSA, which is a very underlook, these tax free accounts, what our company's doing

01:45:23.900 is you can actually buy food and exercise tax free food and exercise actually often is

01:45:28.880 the best medicine.

01:45:30.180 And most people don't even understand that you can actually literally like qualify food and

01:45:34.340 exercise another lifestyle as medicine safe 30, 40% with, with your FSA HSA accounts.

01:45:39.840 Holy cow. 0.89

01:45:40.640 I didn't, I'm not aware of that.

01:45:42.480 I'm out of time.

01:45:43.980 Can I have you back?

01:45:45.060 I'd like to do a podcast with you, Callie.

01:47:26.020 Florida, Ron DeSantis announced on Friday is taking back education and he is changing

01:47:44.440 the board of regents for the new college of Florida, which is a progressive university that's

01:47:50.360 been floundering in lies for a while.

01:47:51.880 Did I say that out loud?

01:47:54.260 And and so the the dean of Hillsdale is now part of the board of regions.

01:48:01.340 Christopher Rufo is also a part of that.

01:48:05.140 You might know who Christopher Rufo is.

01:48:07.960 He has been the guy who has relentlessly been exposing DEI and CRT and you name it.

01:48:18.480 He has been the the linchpin and leading force against all of that.

01:48:26.800 He joins us now.

01:48:28.240 Christopher Rufo, a known Nazi supporter.

01:48:31.740 Christopher, I'm sorry, with some more research, I in the Washington Post would like to retract

01:48:36.500 that last statement as being utterly false.

01:48:39.960 Christopher, how are you?

01:48:41.700 I'm doing very well.

01:48:42.880 How are you?

01:48:43.460 Good.

01:48:43.680 I can't keep up with all the retractions.

01:48:45.760 You just got another one from the Washington Post.

01:48:48.320 And who else do?

01:48:49.200 Jonathan Shade as well.

01:48:50.340 Yeah.

01:48:50.540 Chris, can you walk us through the litany?

01:48:52.840 Yeah.

01:48:53.540 So this is something that just keeps happening.

01:48:55.800 And even in the last 48 hours, I've gotten a major retraction from the Washington Post.

01:49:00.580 They wrote this ridiculous hit piece against me about my appointment to the board of trustees

01:49:05.000 at New College.

01:49:06.280 The editors admitted to me and then had to retract four false statements.

01:49:10.960 And there was only four paragraphs in the story that were about me.

01:49:14.020 So they were actually one false, one complete brazen lie per paragraph.

01:49:19.280 And then the following day, which was yesterday, I spent all day hounding Jonathan Shade from

01:49:25.680 the New York Magazine.

01:49:27.480 And he, too, ended up retracting a completely false statement.

01:49:31.500 He made up a quotation, attributed it to me.

01:49:34.520 And then I said, well, where did I say this?

01:49:36.720 He couldn't prove it, had to retract it.

01:49:39.080 But here's the thing, Glenn.

01:49:40.400 Both of these publications have done the exact same thing twice.

01:49:45.080 Last year, the Washington Post had to retract multiple false statements about my reporting

01:49:50.220 on critical race theory.

01:49:51.620 Also last year, Jonathan Shade, the same author, made up a quotation that he attributed to me

01:49:56.720 that was totally false, had to retract it.

01:49:58.900 I'm starting to think that these things aren't a coincidence.

01:50:02.020 What do you think, Glenn?

01:50:02.800 Well, I don't go too far out on a limb on that.

01:50:06.300 You know, they know, the press knows they can say anything and retract.

01:50:10.220 And the retraction doesn't matter.

01:50:12.060 The charge is out there.

01:50:13.540 And the print is out there.

01:50:16.440 And it's online.

01:50:17.280 And it will be forever online.

01:50:18.780 And that will be the part that is passed around about you.

01:50:21.660 I mean, we are dealing with really nefarious powers at work that know exactly how to smear

01:50:29.300 and discredit people.

01:50:30.940 So let me go.

01:50:32.160 Let me take you to Florida here.

01:50:33.940 How did this unfold with New College?

01:50:38.120 And what exactly are you trying to do and the governor trying to do with education in Florida?

01:50:45.740 So New College is Florida's smallest public university.

01:50:50.200 It's on the beach, actually, in Sarasota.

01:50:52.620 Beautiful location.

01:50:54.140 But it's had struggles for years.

01:50:56.060 It's failed to meet recruitment targets.

01:50:58.200 It's at about half capacity.

01:51:00.180 They can't get students in.

01:51:01.760 They accept almost anyone.

01:51:03.080 But very few students choose to enroll in the college.

01:51:05.840 They've had this kind of broken culture for a number of years in which even, you know,

01:51:11.700 professors and staff members are kind of at odds with the students who are a very kind

01:51:18.220 of left-wing progressive activist.

01:51:19.760 It's almost like Evergreen State out in Washington State that famously imploded a number of years

01:51:24.660 ago, and the Florida legislature in recent years has considered actually just abolishing

01:51:29.200 the college, totally defunding it, and transferring its assets elsewhere in the system.

01:51:34.760 But Governor DeSantis had a kind of bold and dramatic alternative.

01:51:38.380 He said, let's bring in a new board of directors.

01:51:42.000 Let's get some really smart people that have the kind of strength that's required to do a

01:51:46.100 reform effort, and let's turn it around 180 and transform new college, this splodgling,

01:51:51.840 struggling public universities into what they're calling the Hillsdale of the South, so a classical

01:51:56.860 institution of learning of higher education.

01:51:59.440 And that is our task.

01:52:00.760 It is a big vision.

01:52:02.500 It's not going to be easy, but I think all of us on the board of trustees are excited

01:52:06.240 to make it happen and to show conservatives it's time to stop ceding territory.

01:52:12.880 Thank you.

01:52:13.440 It's time to actually start taking back territory.

01:52:15.520 Thank you.

01:52:16.100 And it starts here with new college.

01:52:17.260 I will tell you, Christopher, the biggest mistake we made was ceding the colleges and

01:52:23.340 just saying, you know what, when they get out into the real world, no, they're out in

01:52:27.700 the real world now, and they've changed the real world into this fantasy gobbledygook that

01:52:33.620 they got from these universities.

01:52:35.280 We have got to start taking them back.

01:52:37.960 I have two kids ready to go to college.

01:52:40.680 I don't know where to send them.

01:52:41.860 And I'm terrified of sending them any, but one of them wants to be an actress.

01:52:48.200 Good Lord, I've done everything I can.

01:52:50.160 I prayed on my knees for days on end.

01:52:52.880 Please make that wish go away.

01:52:55.080 She's really good.

01:52:56.100 She wants to do it.

01:52:56.960 I can't send her into, you know, the lion's den.

01:53:02.280 We need to take back education.

01:53:08.380 Absolutely.

01:53:08.860 But I think that I may be a bit more optimistic.

01:53:11.640 I think there are really two key strategies that people need to adopt.

01:53:15.060 First is you have to make your own kids as strong as possible so they can actually go

01:53:19.700 into the lion's den.

01:53:21.220 You know, when my kids turn 18, I have three kids at home.

01:53:23.860 And I want to feel confident that wherever they go, they're going to have their own principles.

01:53:28.820 They're going to have their integrity.

01:53:30.200 They're going to have the strength and sophistication to navigate those environments.

01:53:34.040 But of course, the kind of even maybe more important solution in the larger sense is for

01:53:40.660 us to create alternatives in education.

01:53:42.620 And look, we need to create alternatives in K through 12.

01:53:45.980 We need charter schools.

01:53:47.220 We need universal school choice.

01:53:49.600 So vouchers.

01:53:50.300 So parents can start their own home schools or religious schools.

01:53:53.540 Whatever they want to do matches their values.

01:53:55.400 And then higher education, you know, has been really kind of ceded to the left since the

01:54:01.240 mid to late 1960s.

01:54:03.260 That's when everything turned.

01:54:04.700 Yeah.

01:54:05.100 And look, conservatives have not figured out how to do it.

01:54:08.600 I think that the problem, what I'm observing as I'm talking to people and navigating this

01:54:13.020 new enterprise is that the adults are scared of the kids, you know, really and truly.

01:54:18.880 They're scared of the students.

01:54:21.180 They're scared of the media.

01:54:22.140 They're scared of all the laptop people, you know, typing away at the New York Times.

01:54:27.580 You've got to get over that.

01:54:28.720 It's like you have to get over that.

01:54:30.820 And I think that what we want to demonstrate with this is that we have the strength.

01:54:35.220 We have the courage.

01:54:36.000 We have the backbone.

01:54:37.080 We're going to hang very tough.

01:54:39.280 We're going to make a better university.

01:54:41.840 It's going to be more competitive.

01:54:43.380 It's going to be more rigorous.

01:54:44.620 It's going to have higher quality academic offerings.

01:54:47.460 And I think that what we've seen with Hillsdale College, where I've been fortunate enough

01:54:51.460 to teach a course recently, is that the American families are hungry for this kind of education.

01:54:57.840 They are.

01:54:58.060 They want that classical liberal arts education.

01:55:00.960 They want students to kind of fall in love with learning.

01:55:03.740 And they don't want to have this poisonous, left-wing ideology and left-wing bureaucracy drenching

01:55:10.340 everything in their way.

01:55:11.560 I don't want my kids to be taught what to think.

01:55:15.420 I want my kids to be taught how to think.

01:55:18.500 You know what I mean?

01:55:19.100 How to find the answers.

01:55:20.880 How to question.

01:55:21.980 How to reason.

01:55:23.400 That's what I want a university to do.

01:55:25.360 And that's what they should be doing, pushing you in every different direction so you see

01:55:31.240 that, you know, you should question everything and know how to question and know how to prove

01:55:38.900 something using critical thinking.

01:55:41.420 But that's not what we're getting from our universities.

01:55:44.540 So how are you?

01:55:47.940 Because this is a very progressive school.

01:55:49.660 How are the professors and everybody else taking it at the school?

01:55:53.700 Do you know?

01:55:54.840 Are you going to just shut it down and then rehire?

01:55:59.720 You know, the students, of course, are very rambunctious.

01:56:03.880 They're in a kind of agitated mode.

01:56:05.940 They're ready to protest and ready to make their voices heard.

01:56:09.780 I like that.

01:56:11.080 I think that's healthy.

01:56:12.080 I'm excited to engage with them as I go to visit the college in the coming weeks.

01:56:17.000 But, you know, what I've heard behind the scenes is that professors are chattering.

01:56:22.240 That this is actually a very good opportunity.

01:56:25.820 You know, a lot of people don't like what's happening in universities.

01:56:29.060 People who are in science and math departments that are more apolitical, people who are kind

01:56:34.240 of in the political moderate section, they don't like what's happening just as much as

01:56:38.680 we as the conservatives don't like what's happening.

01:56:41.520 But they're not strong enough to create a defense for themselves.

01:56:44.420 So they just give up.

01:56:46.140 We're going to create that space for people.

01:56:48.240 And I've looked at the CVs for a lot of the faculty at New College.

01:56:52.180 I've done an analysis, actually, of all the full-time faculty.

01:56:55.300 There are some incredible scholars there, people who are substantive.

01:56:59.660 They have Ivy League university degrees.

01:57:01.560 They've written on the classics, Greek, Latin, history, political science, an incredible

01:57:06.780 math department.

01:57:07.740 And so there is a very, very strong core of faculty and staff that are absolutely ready

01:57:15.440 for this change.

01:57:16.680 I think they're going to, you know, once they kind of put down the New York Times and have

01:57:22.180 a chance to talk to us, the new board of trustees in person, I think they're going to be reassured

01:57:26.800 that we're going to create a better university.

01:57:29.520 There are going to be hard changes.

01:57:30.600 We're going to restructure it.

01:57:31.740 We're going to bring in a totally new curriculum.

01:57:34.000 We're going to be abolishing the DEI programming immediately.

01:57:38.600 But after those changes, after that period of tumult and conflict, I think it's going to

01:57:44.220 be a great place.

01:57:45.160 And hopefully when your kids are approaching 18, you'll consider sending them to New College.

01:57:49.500 So, Christopher, I'm just sitting here listening to you and seeing the opportunity and the

01:57:55.840 impact that you have made.

01:57:57.000 And it's kind of it's fun to watch you, because when I first reached out to you, I reached

01:58:04.500 out to you as the contributing editor of City Journal to talk to us about what was happening

01:58:08.660 in Seattle.

01:58:09.280 And you were just at the beginning of all of this.

01:58:11.580 And and now look at the impact that you have made and the impact that you're going to make.

01:58:20.720 And this is just really the beginning.

01:58:23.040 How do you do you ever think about like, holy cow?

01:58:27.600 I mean, I took something on that should have been deadly.

01:58:30.800 Everybody probably told you, don't don't do that.

01:58:32.940 And look, look, look, what's happened.

01:58:37.420 Yeah, it is.

01:58:38.460 You know, I appreciate that.

01:58:39.640 And it's been fun that we've been able to check in really since the beginning through

01:58:43.020 this whole process.

01:58:43.900 And it's been really fun.

01:58:45.700 And I've learned a lot of lessons.

01:58:48.080 As you know, it's it's sometimes challenging.

01:58:51.940 It's difficult.

01:58:53.060 But I love it.

01:58:54.720 I wake up every day excited about what I'm doing.

01:58:57.100 I wake up every day optimistic about the possibilities.

01:58:59.520 And then I've been able to do something that I didn't plan on, but it's been really fruitful.

01:59:04.980 I've been able to connect my ideas, my policy work, my journalism, my activism with people

01:59:11.500 like Governor Ron DeSantis, who have said, hey, this is a good vision.

01:59:15.120 Let's let let let this guy loose and and see if we can actually use these ideas.

01:59:19.580 And so I'm really kind of blessed and fortunate and feel very lucky to have able to not just sit

01:59:25.300 in a think tank, you know, in New York City writing white papers, but actually say, hey,

01:59:30.640 look, you know, let's use these ideas.

01:59:32.000 We believe in them enough to actually do them.

01:59:34.380 And I think that's the key thing.

01:59:35.760 It's like I believe in this enough where I actually want to do it.

01:59:38.760 I want to stake my my own take a take a risk with my own time and reputation, because I think

01:59:46.500 at the end of the day, we're fighting for something that most people want.

01:59:51.260 But but really, most people feel there are a few champions for and I'm trying to do that.

01:59:56.740 I'm trying to serve that purpose for people.

01:59:58.640 Christopher, I know I'm sure that we've asked you before, but I would love to do a do at

02:00:04.280 least an hour podcast with you, because I think you are fascinating.

02:00:08.600 You are really somebody who is is changing things.

02:00:12.260 You're not just talking about it.

02:00:13.540 You are actually changing things.

02:00:16.760 And I would like to discuss in greater detail what the what the challenges are ahead and

02:00:23.280 also where you get the I feel good in the morning where you get the bright spots in education,

02:00:30.660 because there's a lot to move.

02:00:32.420 So we'd love to we'd love to have you on as a podcast.

02:00:36.100 Thank you so much.

02:00:36.880 Let's do it.

02:00:37.520 Let's do it.

02:00:38.060 You got it.

02:00:38.940 Christopher Rufo, contributing editor, City Journal, senior fellow, the Manhattan Institute,

02:00:43.360 and now on the new Board of Regents for New College of Florida, because Ron DeSantis is

02:00:53.220 taking on education in a big way now in Florida.

02:00:58.720 What is my governor doing?

02:01:00.820 What are other governors doing?

02:01:03.300 It's a really good plan.

02:01:04.820 I mean, you can steal it.

02:01:08.600 I mean, I'm sure he would give it to you.

02:01:10.240 You just steal this plan and do it in your own state.

02:01:12.620 I understand.

02:01:13.980 What you put on the table for your family matters.

02:01:17.380 That is the fruit of your labors, the proof of the promise that you'll provide for them.

02:01:22.220 And all too often when it comes to the meat you buy, it's coming from overseas.

02:01:26.900 If you can afford it.

02:01:28.480 If buying meat that is sourced from local farms right here in America is something that matters

02:01:34.600 to you, and it definitely should, otherwise, we're going to have more and more farms brought 1.00

02:01:40.520 to you by Bill Gates.

02:01:42.520 You need to try good ranchers.

02:03:03.180 You know, it's interesting.

02:03:04.340 This last hour, we've talked to a guy who, you know, is talking about the new food compass,

02:03:08.660 not the food pyramid, food compass, that says that Froot Loops are better for you than eggs.

02:03:16.300 Notice it's grains and everything away from meat and dairy.

02:03:19.720 Isn't that interesting?

02:03:21.940 We have that.

02:03:23.340 We also told you the story early on in the podcast today about the fact that Richard Trumpka,

02:03:31.260 who's now with the Consumer Protection Agency, is talking now about getting rid of all gas stoves

02:03:37.260 and any kind of gas appliance, really, because it's too dangerous in your home.

02:03:42.520 Really?

02:03:44.100 They are moving on our food and our energy.

02:03:48.380 We just did a poll.
