The Glenn Beck Program - How to SAVE Our Schools ｜ Guests： Asra Nomani & Dr. Debra Soh ｜ 4⧸15⧸21

00:00:00.000 Let me tell you about our sponsor for the Blaze coverage today.

00:00:03.000 Thank you very much, Rough Greens.

00:00:04.720 Not only thank you for your sponsorship, but also because they've changed my dog's life.

00:00:09.960 They've changed my life, honestly.

00:00:11.540 It is a pleasure to get up and feed Uno.

00:00:15.140 And honestly, a year ago, we hated it.

00:00:18.720 It was Christmas time, the last time we had this problem, and we had assigned shifts.

00:00:25.200 It's your day to feed Uno because you'd have to stand there for 20 minutes to watch him eat.

00:00:30.320 He literally, my daughter was in the kitchen this morning with me, and he was eating,

00:00:34.960 and he was pushing the bowl up against the wall.

00:00:37.420 He licks the bowl clean now.

00:00:40.500 It is crazy.

00:00:42.380 It's not a dog food.

00:00:43.440 It is something that you put on the dog's food, and they love it, and it's really, really good for them.

00:00:49.540 Now, some dogs may not like it, and Rough Greens doesn't want you to spend any money on this product

00:00:53.860 unless your dog will love it because they know if your dog loves it,

00:00:57.080 you are going to see the change in your dog.

00:00:59.460 Over the last year, he just keeps changing for the better.

00:01:03.140 Go to roughgreens.com slash Beck and get a free bag.

00:01:07.040 All you have to do is pay for shipping.

00:01:08.300 A free bag of Rough Greens.

00:01:10.160 If your dog likes it, then order a full bag of Rough Greens, and you'll see the difference.

00:01:15.740 It's roughgreens.com slash Beck.

00:01:20.200 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:47.400 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:55.780 Hello, America.

00:01:57.200 Last night, we did a very important show on the Wednesday night special,

00:02:01.080 and this could be considered part two of that.

00:02:04.400 Don't worry.

00:02:04.960 If you didn't see part one, you'll still understand part two.

00:02:09.300 Part two today is the program is pretty much being dedicated, probably 90% of it,

00:02:15.340 to the biggest problem I think we're facing right now that we need to fix right now.

00:02:21.580 Everything else is on fire, yes.

00:02:24.660 But if we lose our schools, we've already lost them.

00:02:28.340 If we don't fix our schools, if we don't get control of critical race theory in our schools right now,

00:02:35.440 our country is over for all time.

00:02:38.680 That might sound like hyperbole, but it is not.

00:02:43.380 Last night, I had a guest on the TV show, Azra Nomani, and we only had a couple of minutes to talk.

00:02:49.880 And the one thing I really wanted her to explain to you is this nexus between radicalized,

00:02:57.280 I didn't even say this, is Islamicists and the CRT in our classrooms. 1.00

00:03:05.520 And you need to understand that when you look at critical race theory,

00:03:10.960 it is really, truly only about the destruction of the West.

00:03:16.800 She's going to talk a little bit about that and what you can do to fight back.

00:03:21.260 We have a lot of answers for you today, including answers for my son.

00:03:25.620 And he said, Dad, I'm getting hammered in school over gender and sex.

00:03:30.900 Help me fight that.

00:03:32.260 And I said, you know what?

00:03:33.020 I got to talk to somebody to really get the real solid answers.

00:03:36.280 We're going to do that as well today.

00:03:38.200 A lot of answers and a lot of help for you as a parent.

00:03:41.360 Coming on today's broadcast, we begin in 60 seconds.

00:03:47.940 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:50.520 You know who you are.

00:03:51.360 The moment I start talking about severe and frequent pain, your ears perk up.

00:03:56.160 They always do.

00:03:57.520 You've been listening to me ramble on and on for years about Relief Factor.

00:04:01.300 And it's always sounded nice, but you haven't tried it.

00:04:04.480 My question is why?

00:04:07.780 Maybe you're like I was.

00:04:09.200 You're just stubborn and you think it's not going to work for me.

00:04:11.800 Maybe you've tried a lot of different things to combat your pain and nothing has worked.

00:04:15.420 I went through that as well.

00:04:17.220 Maybe you're scared it won't work.

00:04:18.820 Maybe some people are actually scared that it will because they've lived with pain for so long.

00:04:25.480 It's it's become part of their identity.

00:04:27.780 Don't let that happen to you.

00:04:29.340 Get your life back.

00:04:30.540 Live the life you want to.

00:04:32.500 I have been painting up a storm and to what it was two or three years ago when I started this.

00:04:39.660 I couldn't hold a paintbrush for very long.

00:04:41.800 I couldn't hold a pencil.

00:04:43.600 I couldn't write anymore.

00:04:45.100 I had to type and even that caused pain.

00:04:48.440 I don't have that pain anymore because of Relief Factor.

00:04:51.140 Seventy percent of the people who try it go on to order more.

00:04:53.740 That's why they want you to just try it for three weeks.

00:04:56.120 You don't order the full pack.

00:04:57.760 You order a three week trial pack because in three weeks you should know if you're not seeing any improvement at all.

00:05:03.880 It's not going to work for you.

00:05:04.820 But 70 percent of the people that take it start to see relief almost immediately.

00:05:11.480 Kick the pain out of your life.

00:05:13.020 Get your life back.

00:05:13.680 Go to ReliefFactor.com or call 800-583-84.

00:05:16.780 800-583-84.

00:05:18.420 It's ReliefFactor.com.

00:05:23.280 Azra Nomani came to my attention years ago because she was the co-founder of the Muslim Reform Movement.

00:05:31.480 She is a Muslim and didn't like what was happening. 0.55

00:05:37.840 She knows the difference between Islam and an Islamist. 0.95

00:05:41.860 An Islamist wants the Koran and a religious scholar to make all of the laws. 0.98

00:05:51.480 An Islamist believes the Constitution is nothing because it's not God's law from the Koran. 0.90

00:05:58.720 An Islamist will kill you for a difference of opinion. 1.00

00:06:04.060 They have no tolerance for a difference of opinion because they know they're on God's side and God is on their side. 0.93

00:06:13.040 It's very similar to the same kind of feeling that you get when you're talking to somebody now who is crazy climate change.

00:06:23.420 And I mean crazy climate change.

00:06:26.000 But especially those who are on the bandwagon of critical race theory.

00:06:31.360 I hadn't tied these two together, but she did a while ago.

00:06:36.920 And she's now the Vice President for Strategy and Investigations at Parents Defending Education.

00:06:43.600 She is also the editor of Indoctrination, the database and FOIA work.

00:06:49.640 Co-founder of Coalition for TJ, a group of parents and community members in Virginia.

00:06:54.880 She is a former reporter for the Wall Street Journal.

00:06:58.260 She was the co-director of the Pearl Project, which did the investigation on Daniel Pearl, if you remember that.

00:07:05.160 She is fearless.

00:07:07.440 And I am honored to have her on the program today.

00:07:10.840 Azra, how are you?

00:07:12.480 Oh, thanks so much, Glenn.

00:07:13.720 And you know as well as I do that we act even in the face of fear, right?

00:07:19.880 That's what courage is supposed to be because we tremble in our hearts.

00:07:24.080 We face the backlash.

00:07:26.620 We have children.

00:07:27.580 We know that there can be retaliation and retribution.

00:07:30.720 But courage definitely is acting even when you feel that tremble in your heart.

00:07:36.400 Somebody gave me some great advice once.

00:07:39.160 They said, where are your heroes?

00:07:40.920 They looked at my desk and my office and they said, where are the pictures of your heroes, even if it's your dad?

00:07:45.840 And I said, what do you mean?

00:07:48.120 And they said, you won't make it if you're doing something really tough unless you're looking in the eyes of people who have walked those walks before.

00:07:57.040 And I really learned my lesson that people like Martin Luther King, he wasn't fearless.

00:08:03.900 He was terrified much of his life.

00:08:06.560 He just knew I have to do this.

00:08:09.060 I have to.

00:08:09.720 Yeah, yeah, because it's a human emotion that we can't, you know, deny.

00:08:16.460 And yet, even in the face of fear, soldiers, right, paramedics, police officers are all of our front line warriors.

00:08:25.900 And then now us, the accidental activists, the, you know, advocates for children.

00:08:32.640 And we have fear, but that's something I want to just let everyone know as we start this conversation, because to feel fear is normal and natural and an important mechanism, right, to protect ourselves.

00:08:47.140 But in this day, and all times anyway, we have to still face that fear and still act.

00:08:54.040 So there is one thing about fear when you say our first responders or our firemen, our police, our, you know, soldiers, they have one thing that Americans don't feel they have today.

00:09:08.040 And that is a sense of camaraderie, a sense of belonging to a group.

00:09:14.940 You know, it would change a lot if they thought that they were alone, if the vast majority of our of our brave soldiers, et cetera, et cetera, felt they were alone.

00:09:23.980 It wouldn't be the same story.

00:09:25.800 And I want to get to I want to get to some of those organizations, some of them which you are involved in and help provide sources where people will feel like they're not alone and they can make an actual difference.

00:09:41.800 But first, I want you to address where we we kind of left off yesterday.

00:09:46.320 We talked just briefly about the nexus between Islamicists and critical race theory in schools.

00:09:55.980 Can you go into that?

00:09:58.180 Yeah, absolutely.

00:09:59.140 And, you know, for listeners who don't know me, I'll just introduce myself just for a minute just to give them context about what I carry in my heart.

00:10:08.100 You know, I was born as the first generation post-colonial in India in 1965.

00:10:15.920 My parents lived through British colonialism.

00:10:19.280 So you could say that they lived under, quote, white supremacy because the British were white and there were my parents who are, quote, people of color.

00:10:27.800 Right.

00:10:28.180 My father literally climbed a bunion tree to support Gandhi as he marched for independence. 0.66

00:10:35.980 And let me say that I am a huge fan of Winston Churchill, but the guy was a monster in India. 1.00

00:10:43.200 He was a monster. 0.93

00:10:44.860 And, you know, the truth is this is the reality, you know, of history, right? 0.95

00:10:50.400 But my father carried in his heart hope.

00:10:55.640 My dad is five foot three because he lived through the Bengal famine that a lot of listeners might not even know about.

00:11:03.500 But it was a famine that was manmade exactly by the British government because they needed to divert food from India to the British army.

00:11:12.060 So it was their survival.

00:11:13.720 Well, my dad, even at that height, had hope in his heart and he came to America and he became a student here to study nutrition, to help people with food security issues and bring relief to humanity.

00:11:32.460 My mother came and then brought my brother and me.

00:11:36.780 They didn't come with a grudge in their heart, you know, against the, quote, systemic racism that had held our country hostage, right, for so many years.

00:11:48.300 They came to create a new life.

00:11:51.480 And I just bring this up because there's this choice that we can all make about how we're going to navigate our futures.

00:11:58.740 And my parents made this really bold and pioneering decision to tap America's equality and vision for its citizens to improve the condition of our family.

00:12:12.740 And that's the family in which I grew up, right?

00:12:15.620 And then I was a young Muslim girl, didn't go to my prom because I wasn't allowed to dance with the boys, never dated until I secretly did, never had a beer until my friend Danny Pearl introduced me to the delicacies of wheat beer.

00:12:38.880 But, you know, this is all just to say that, you know, we're all on these journeys.

00:12:46.280 And then 9-11 happened and my dear friend Danny was kidnapped and murdered.

00:12:54.540 And I had my reality check that, hey, there is this interpretation within Islam that is dangerous, that is laying siege to beautiful, innocent human beings like Danny.

00:13:08.060 And I had to stand up and fight back.

00:13:12.740 And what I encountered is exactly what you did, Glenn.

00:13:17.500 You know, our biographies are completely different, but our analysis is similar, which is there is an interpretation within Islam that's problematic.

00:13:26.720 Just like in every other religion and every other society, there's an extreme strain.

00:13:31.060 But we got branded racist and Islamophobe.

00:13:36.440 And it was only last summer that I finally could put the pieces together that our Islamists, these people that you described really well as folks who want Islam and religion in governance, they use...

00:13:54.060 Not in governance, as the governance.

00:13:56.780 Yes, absolutely, exactly, as governance.

00:14:00.880 Right.

00:14:01.160 We want Islamic State, basically. 1.00

00:14:03.860 So our examples out there in the world are the theocracies that are in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, now emerging in Afghanistan again. 0.87

00:14:15.340 Iran.

00:14:16.680 In Iran, exactly.

00:14:18.080 And what gets denied?

00:14:21.400 Women's rights, human rights, rights... 0.99

00:14:24.520 Gay rights.

00:14:25.460 All minorities.

00:14:27.460 Exactly.

00:14:27.820 All the, quote, liberal values that even I embraced growing up as a progressive, bleeding-heart liberal.

00:14:35.500 So you and I both have faced this, and that's why I kind of remembered, you know, this idea of fear, because they've come after you.

00:14:46.780 You know, they've come after your job.

00:14:48.620 They've come after your reputation.

00:14:50.920 Character assassination is their modus operandi, right?

00:14:56.200 They invented cancel culture. 0.90

00:14:58.460 But I finally, last summer, got to really understand that what they did is they had no defense, really, to their illiberal ideas.

00:15:12.160 So what they had to do was create a defense.

00:15:16.700 And one of your listeners actually put it really well in a tweet that he wrote in response to the video you posted yesterday from our interview.

00:15:27.460 He said that they used critical race theory as a shield to protect their bad ideas.

00:15:34.760 And what they could do then is racialize Muslims, make us a race, so that you became racist if you criticize extremism.

00:15:43.700 And that is what we've faced over these last 20 years as we've grappled with this industry, right, that calls everybody an Islamophobe if they dare to talk about the extremism issue.

00:15:58.980 So I've got to take a one-minute break, and then I want to come back.

00:16:02.320 And if you can get into the meat, you said yesterday that you have seen school board members and people involved in education that you kind of scratched your head at first

00:16:12.000 and went, wait a minute, why is this so popular with people you would say are Islamists?

00:16:18.840 What is the real goal?

00:16:22.260 Because I think when people understand the real goal for critical race theory, it's not about making things fair for everybody.

00:16:30.660 It's not even really about equity, which is a horrible idea in and of itself.

00:16:36.200 And I want you to get to what critical race theory in our schools is really all about and why these Islamists are involved, if you can. 0.90

00:16:44.740 We'll do that in one minute.

00:16:46.760 First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

00:16:50.460 I'm guessing you feel as though, you know, you feel the same way as I do.

00:16:54.780 It's incredibly important to be on the right side of history.

00:16:58.340 You probably think that things are really wrong in America.

00:17:03.720 You probably also don't have a problem with private businesses doing what they're doing, but all of a sudden this has been distorted and you've never been a boycotter, but you got to do something.

00:17:16.240 This is the easiest way to take a stand.

00:17:19.560 And I can't urge you enough to do this.

00:17:22.840 If we just pick one thing and go after one thing, it will send a message that the left to the left, the right is standing up.

00:17:34.400 And I don't like boycotting because you're cutting something out of your life.

00:17:38.440 No, I'm asking you to replace something you have that I think is bad, that you can replace it with something that is really good.

00:17:45.840 Let's say Verizon.

00:17:47.520 Let's say you have Verizon as a cell phone company.

00:17:49.720 They are giving money to Planned Parenthood.

00:17:52.120 They are giving money to anti-Second Amendment groups.

00:17:55.940 You know, you might have coverage and whatever with Verizon, but is that worth paying them so they take some of that money and work against your rights?

00:18:06.620 You can get the same great coverage.

00:18:10.240 You can get better service, a lower price, and the values you believe in.

00:18:16.180 Send a message to Big Mobile.

00:18:18.780 I don't need you anymore.

00:18:20.740 I won't do business with you anymore.

00:18:23.640 It's patriotmobile.com.

00:18:25.460 Save money, get great service, and send a message.

00:18:29.180 Patriotmobile.com slash Beck or 972-PATRIOT.

00:18:33.800 10 seconds, Station ID.

00:18:36.620 This is the Glenn Beck Program, and we have Azrin Omani on with us.

00:18:52.360 So how is the Islamist movement involved at all, and why would they be involved with getting critical race theory into our schools?

00:19:03.940 Yeah, so Glenn, let me tell you how I realized this happened.

00:19:09.520 In the summer of 2020, the Secretary of Education started secret meetings in order to eliminate the merit-based race-blind test at my son's high school in northern Virginia called Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology.

00:19:28.000 It's the number one high school in America, creating scientists and inventors.

00:19:33.860 Yeah.

00:19:34.600 This method has become replicated in San Francisco, Boston, New York, in order to destroy merit and advanced learning in the name of, quote, equity.

00:19:48.280 Right, and they're saying that whiteness, so it's important to understand, when they say whiteness is a problem, what they mean are things like merit-based programs.

00:19:59.200 So striving to achieve, actually achieving something, working for what you get.

00:20:05.120 That's the Western culture, and that's what they want destroyed. 0.98

00:20:09.740 Yeah, and ultimately, you know, it's a universal culture, right, also, because everybody, like in many cultures, strives to accomplish.

00:20:18.380 So you cannot attribute it simply to white supremacy, as you're trying to do.

00:20:22.920 Because my family is the perfect example.

00:20:25.400 That's why I wanted to introduce your listeners to my family's story, because we are 70% Asian at my son's school.

00:20:33.780 My family is emblematic of this story of immigrants pursuing the American dream.

00:20:38.940 But Glenn, get this, that Secretary of Education, his name is Atif Carney.

00:20:45.740 I looked up his political contributions, and he is funded by the Islamist Network in Northern Virginia.

00:20:56.040 I was like, what the heck?

00:21:00.240 Yeah.

00:21:00.640 So we only have like two minutes here, and I know we run out of time.

00:21:06.260 I know, I just leave you with this, like, what?

00:21:09.620 I know, you're like, wait a second, I didn't expect this to go there.

00:21:12.700 Okay, let me quickly tell the listeners in you, what's going on is the Islamists are using this leftist agenda of critical race theory 0.83

00:21:23.660 in order to bring in their agenda of anti-Western curriculum, anti-Israel curriculum, pro-Palestinian, you know, 0.69

00:21:38.260 intifada type of material from California to Minnesota.

00:21:42.700 So this is the danger.

00:21:44.820 Ultimately, it's an anti-American propaganda.

00:21:48.920 Right.

00:21:49.100 And this is, we are being made into Israel and the Palestinian situation. 0.93

00:21:56.960 We are being broken up, and you are a mean Israeli if you're just trying to defend yourself. 1.00

00:22:07.420 You're a horrible, racist state, and it's being done now to us, and this is how it's being done. 0.99

00:22:15.020 And the left, this is why I believe the left has embraced Islam or Islamists so hard, is because they both have the same goal. 1.00

00:22:25.520 When we come back, I just...

00:22:26.640 Right, it's sectarianism. 0.81

00:22:27.540 Yes, when we come back, I just want to spend maybe a couple of minutes with you on just tell me the organizations that people can join

00:22:37.340 so they don't feel alone and they can actually make some progress on this.

00:22:44.280 It is vital, America, that you get critical race theory out of your school.

00:24:21.620 Let's be clear.

00:24:29.140 Wokeism is an attack not just on our kids' education, but on their psychological health.

00:24:35.940 It seeks to make them angry, confused, emotional, contemptuous of their community and society,

00:24:42.040 and unable to use logic and reason.

00:24:45.940 Wokeism will turn our kids into failures.

00:24:48.600 This attack on our children takes many forms.

00:24:51.720 The cult of anti-racism, which demands that they feel either shame or guilt or resentment and bitterness,

00:24:58.720 depending on which racial category they're assigned,

00:25:01.860 and tells kids they're racist if they don't obey.

00:25:05.220 Equity demands aggressive and illegal racial discrimination against Asians and whites.

00:25:12.200 Action civics, which trains kids to think and act like radical activists rather than curious learners, and so on.

00:25:20.920 This is why Parents Defending Education was put together, to try to find some solutions and first empower one another.

00:25:31.820 And that is what we want to spend the last couple of minutes with,

00:25:34.820 Azra Namani, who helped start this organization.

00:25:39.400 She's here to give us some ideas on, as parents, how can we not feel so alone?

00:25:46.360 What can we join?

00:25:47.540 What should we do?

00:25:49.460 Yes.

00:25:50.660 See, Glenn, beyond being this global radio host and personality, you are a parent.

00:25:56.900 And I want you two to go to DefendingEd.org and become a member of our organization,

00:26:02.340 because we are connecting parents in that concept that you began the show with,

00:26:08.960 and you said, you know, first responders feel like they're part of a group.

00:26:12.780 We want parents to know that they are in a collective,

00:26:17.580 that we are the mama bears and papa bears protecting our cubs and all cubs everywhere.

00:26:23.580 And so we created this organization in order to let folks know that they're not alone

00:26:29.840 and then do the thing that you're so good at doing,

00:26:33.380 which is follow the money and document, document, document.

00:26:37.720 And so we've created this map that you mentioned, Indoctrination,

00:26:41.540 and it chronicles district by district incidents that we're tracking

00:26:46.380 and parent groups that have emerged to fight this indoctrination.

00:26:51.600 It's just phenomenal.

00:26:52.960 Every day after your interview, dozens of people have written to us.

00:26:58.380 Where is that map?

00:27:01.080 Do I find that at parents?

00:27:02.660 Yes.

00:27:03.360 Go to DefendingEd.org.

00:27:08.240 Okay, I'm going to go there right now.

00:27:09.940 Okay, so what...

00:27:11.140 Yeah, go there right now.

00:27:13.340 And then you can filter.

00:27:15.500 Okay, so what is it that...

00:27:16.960 You can find parent groups.

00:27:17.420 Yeah.

00:27:18.380 Okay, all right.

00:27:19.180 So that's what you do.

00:27:20.100 You filter...

00:27:20.800 Yes.

00:27:21.100 And you've...

00:27:22.100 Okay.

00:27:23.720 Defending...

00:27:24.280 And so, for example, Ed.org.

00:27:27.400 So, for example, like you had this amazing mom and educator

00:27:32.720 from the California group, Educators for Quality and Equality.

00:27:37.720 They're on there.

00:27:39.300 Lori Myers, you had her on as a guest, I think. 0.99

00:27:42.080 You go to Maryland, and you're going to find the Chinese American Parent Association of Howard County.

00:27:49.760 You're going to find No Left Turn Chapters, another organization that's emerged.

00:27:54.580 Boston, you've got the Boston Parents Coalition for Academic Excellence.

00:27:58.360 It's phenomenal, because there's so many parents like us who are enraged and really activated.

00:28:08.240 And so that's our goal, is to connect folks and empower them.

00:28:15.180 I'm still trying to get to...

00:28:16.660 There it is.

00:28:17.240 Okay, so the indoctrination map, all you do is...

00:28:21.360 I see these are chapters all around?

00:28:25.140 Yeah, they're chapters all around.

00:28:27.080 And then we also have incidents of critical race theory in our school district.

00:28:32.920 So every day we've got parents reporting what is being taught to their kids.

00:28:38.340 Just today, I was going through a case in Texas, and then yesterday we met with these families in Michigan.

00:28:47.080 You know, it's just phenomenal how much people are now waking up to this threat that we have.

00:28:54.440 So tell me, you know, we all gathered together, and it seemed to just happen so quickly,

00:29:01.180 the idea of Common Core and how bad that was.

00:29:04.200 How bad do you think this is in comparison to Common Core?

00:29:11.040 It's exactly the same, Glenn, because Common Core was developed by institutions and then

00:29:17.700 implanted into school districts around the country through school policies.

00:29:22.760 That's exactly the same thing that's happening with this, quote, anti-racism teaching.

00:29:27.320 And just over this past year with George Floyd's death, they have had the opportunity to bring

00:29:36.140 these kind of curriculum changes like Black Lives Matter at schools into the classroom.

00:29:42.620 And we are trying to monitor this as parents, but we're taking care of our children during

00:29:48.600 COVID at the same time, right?

00:29:50.020 So they've used remote learning and virtual school board meetings to put us on mute.

00:29:57.540 But the joy is that parents are unpressing that mute button and saying, we're loud and we're

00:30:04.640 here and we're going to fight this.

00:30:07.380 And I want everyone to know that, you know, this is an industry.

00:30:11.940 And just like any kind of indoctrination has a hub, this has hubs, too, around the country.

00:30:21.220 And we're going to expose them.

00:30:24.400 Okay.

00:30:24.860 I want you to go to defendinged.org.

00:30:30.920 Offendinged.org.

00:30:33.040 Thank you so much, Ezra.

00:30:34.000 We'll talk again.

00:30:35.040 Keep up the good work.

00:30:35.900 I love it.

00:30:36.380 Thank you so much.

00:30:37.460 You're a fighter.

00:30:38.160 You bet.

00:30:38.360 Stu, let me go to a couple of other things that we're just we are sweeping so many things

00:30:45.320 today and we're going to have to go into them in depth a little bit tomorrow.

00:30:51.140 There's a couple of stories here that the House Committee has now advanced the statehood for

00:30:56.460 D.C.

00:30:59.020 And I love this.

00:31:00.520 I guess we don't have to wait for that.

00:31:02.300 We don't need to wait for any kind of a study to be done.

00:31:05.540 And they have the House Democrats are going to unveil legislation today to expand the

00:31:13.920 number of justices on the Supreme Court.

00:31:16.700 Yeah.

00:31:16.980 They're going to go with for 13, which would be fantastic.

00:31:20.660 They're just going to add.

00:31:22.040 Shockingly, though, I'm sure they'll just do it in a bipartisan manner to maintain the

00:31:25.400 balance of the court.

00:31:26.180 It's just.

00:31:26.680 Oh, yeah, of course.

00:31:27.780 13 is the appropriate number.

00:31:28.880 It's nothing to do.

00:31:29.640 Oh, yeah.

00:31:30.180 One in control.

00:31:31.280 No, not at all.

00:31:32.260 You know, we started as a nation with six Supreme Court members, and then it was expanded,

00:31:40.780 I think, to seven.

00:31:42.860 And and Jefferson came in and he restored it to six.

00:31:48.400 Why don't we just restore it back to six?

00:31:50.980 Yeah.

00:31:51.180 I mean, I'm sure they'd love that.

00:31:52.520 Why don't we just I mean, I know.

00:31:53.560 Well, yeah, and we'll just take the ones who have been there the longest or, you know,

00:32:00.920 are, you know, like or the least.

00:32:04.660 Yeah.

00:32:05.200 Yeah.

00:32:05.500 We'll get rid of the minimum, the minimum, the middle ones. 1.00

00:32:08.920 Sure.

00:32:09.600 OK.

00:32:10.200 Would you would you support a constitutional amendment that keeps it at nine?

00:32:17.500 Yes.

00:32:18.340 I think I would, too.

00:32:19.660 I don't I just I think this is a ridiculous option that you can just, you know, expand

00:32:25.160 it and contract it based on who's control of the government at the time. 0.98

00:32:28.320 Like, that's a silly, silly. 0.93

00:32:30.060 It hasn't been done since Abraham Lincoln. 0.95

00:32:32.520 Yeah.

00:32:32.860 And Abraham Lincoln was trying because of Dred Scott.

00:32:35.800 He was trying to change the the makeup of the court.

00:32:40.320 And so he added one.

00:32:42.000 But that was the only time that we've really ever.

00:32:44.860 That's the last time that we did it.

00:32:47.100 And that's what brought us to nine, I think.

00:32:50.440 Or he may have brought it to 10.

00:32:51.960 And then it was reversed right after.

00:32:53.720 Well, I think it should clearly be an odd number.

00:32:56.300 I think that that is the only thing.

00:32:58.360 I agree.

00:32:58.640 I mean, it could be five or nine or 13 in theory.

00:33:02.240 But like we've had nine for a long time.

00:33:04.720 It really shouldn't be this battle where it's possible to just switch out the number of them.

00:33:09.540 I mean, that just seems completely ridiculous to me.

00:33:11.480 Here's what I would be for.

00:33:12.740 Here's what I would be for.

00:33:13.620 A constitutional amendment, then making it 13 or nine or seven or 40.

00:33:21.100 But a constitutional amendment, not this.

00:33:25.220 Hey, we just won the House and the Senate and the White House.

00:33:27.960 And so we're going to do this.

00:33:29.960 No, no.

00:33:31.220 You want to.

00:33:32.020 That's progressives.

00:33:33.100 You want to change the way we do things.

00:33:39.080 You either pass the law or if it affects the Constitution, you change the Constitution.

00:33:45.420 You want you want to get rid of guns.

00:33:47.480 OK.

00:33:48.180 All right.

00:33:49.240 Amend the Constitution.

00:33:51.740 Yeah.

00:33:51.920 You have to do that.

00:33:53.080 That's why it's important.

00:33:54.560 The process is important.

00:33:55.720 We saw this with with what happened in Canada.

00:33:57.960 Canada, Canada had, you know, they're putting fences around churches who are having services.

00:34:04.300 Right.

00:34:04.680 And here we're having a bunch of these.

00:34:06.780 There's been five of them so far that have been overturned where, for example, the most

00:34:11.160 recent one in California, home Bible study could not be banned because Gavin Newsom felt

00:34:17.720 like it.

00:34:18.300 Right.

00:34:18.840 So we actually have these protections.

00:34:21.380 And it's one of the reasons why we our country has been so strong for so long.

00:34:25.640 And, you know, it actually works here.

00:34:28.060 I mean, it does not always.

00:34:29.360 And it's not perfect.

00:34:30.080 It is the the constitutional amendment.

00:34:32.480 I think this is the genius of our Constitution.

00:34:35.820 The constitutional amendments are made because, as Jefferson said, it's not right that we impose

00:34:42.540 our will after our death on a whole nation.

00:34:47.660 This is what we think is right.

00:34:49.360 However, if you want to change it, then all you have to do is amend the Constitution.

00:34:56.180 And so it was meant to slow things down.

00:34:59.060 The whole Constitution is meant to slow lawmakers down, meant to slow things down and to make

00:35:05.480 sure that one party or one branch couldn't start dominating everything.

00:35:10.440 It's the last check and balance.

00:35:12.700 We hold these truths to be self-evident.

00:35:16.300 Now, if everybody wants to change that, or I think it's what, 70 percent, 70 percent of

00:35:23.040 states have to be in for a constitutional amendment.

00:35:26.720 If you want to change that, then do it.

00:35:29.760 But do it the right way.

00:35:31.620 Right now, this is the only way we can stop things is having it go to the people. 0.96

00:35:37.240 And that's why they're changing everything.

00:35:39.620 That's why they're changing.

00:35:41.360 They introduced statehood for Washington, D.C.

00:35:43.920 yesterday.

00:35:45.200 Everything that they said that we said they would do and they said they would not do.

00:35:50.900 They're doing it.

00:35:52.100 This is not a moderate administration by any stretch of the imagination.

00:35:56.960 Oh, no.

00:35:57.520 I mean, this is the most radical administration we've had in American history.

00:36:02.160 It certainly could wind up being that way.

00:36:04.260 Woodrow Wilson is up there.

00:36:06.880 But yeah, it's one of them.

00:36:08.160 Yeah, and I would certainly argue Lyndon Johnson in some ways should be there.

00:36:11.920 But I guess the larger point, though, is, you know, because Woodrow Wilson really changed

00:36:16.360 the direction of the country in a lot of ways.

00:36:19.780 This where, you know, Biden's just continuing the direction of the country where we've been

00:36:23.640 going over the past few decades.

00:36:25.520 Yeah.

00:36:26.020 You know, but he's just putting the final nails in it.

00:36:28.160 Yeah.

00:36:28.380 I mean, he's accelerating it at an incredible pace.

00:36:31.040 If you get D.C. statehood, you then have two more senators and representatives in Congress

00:36:37.540 and the Senate, and those guys will never be conservatives.

00:36:41.160 Never.

00:36:41.500 So you ensure that the Democrats hold the Senate almost indefinitely.

00:36:49.360 If you change the makeup of the Supreme Court, you make the Supreme Court a political weapon.

00:36:57.560 And that has always been the problem with the Supreme Court.

00:37:02.620 Once you politicize the Supreme Court, it becomes a nine or, in their case, 13 people that decide

00:37:12.000 how you're going to live your life.

00:37:14.540 Well, wait a minute.

00:37:15.800 They shouldn't have that power.

00:37:17.360 Their power is to say to both of the other branches, you can't do that because the Constitution,

00:37:25.800 they're the ref.

00:37:27.020 They're not another branch that makes policy.

00:37:31.080 They are supposed to be the ref.

00:37:33.340 Hey, you two, flag on the field.

00:37:36.060 You want to do that?

00:37:37.020 Do it the right way.

00:37:38.580 But that's not what they're being made into.

00:37:41.480 All right.

00:37:42.080 More in just a second here.

00:37:43.200 We're in, we've got, we've got a great hour for you, especially if you're a parent coming

00:37:48.680 up next, trying to answer the questions that your kids are being talked to about.

00:37:56.100 I don't know how to answer all of these things.

00:37:58.680 We have Deborah So coming up and just first, let me tell you about real estate agents.

00:38:03.020 I trust when it comes to buying or selling homes.

00:38:04.880 If you're, if you're not looking for the highest level of competence in a real estate agent,

00:38:08.840 you're not aiming high enough.

00:38:10.760 Now, maybe you don't know how to do this.

00:38:13.400 You think all real estate agents are alike, or you're just going to trust the bus sign

00:38:17.200 or the, you know, your, your cousin's kid who's now doing it.

00:38:22.520 It is really important that you find a good real estate agent and the best one in the

00:38:29.300 area that you're looking to either buy or sell.

00:38:32.220 That's why we started realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:38:35.360 It's name kind of says it all and it is, uh, it's a free service to you wherever you live

00:38:41.460 in the country.

00:38:41.900 If we don't have a real estate agent in that area, we won't recommend one.

00:38:45.360 You just have to, you know, go, but we can help you out and tell you what our, what we

00:38:49.180 look for in a real estate agent.

00:38:51.280 But when we have a real estate agent in, in an area, we monitor them.

00:38:55.520 We see the track record.

00:38:57.120 We make sure that they're selling, you know, houses on time or faster than anybody else.

00:39:03.000 They're getting good deals for their clients and they have high customer satisfaction.

00:39:08.140 We watch how they advertise, how they, um, get people to look at houses.

00:39:13.100 And the minute any of those metrics go out of line, they're no longer with us.

00:39:17.220 They don't work for us.

00:39:19.000 We just recommend the ones that we have found to be the best in your area.

00:39:23.400 Buying or selling a house anywhere in the country, go now to realestateagentsitrust.com

00:39:28.920 realestateagentsitrust.com

00:39:31.580 This is a Glebeck program.

00:39:40.520 We have, uh, Debra So on with us, uh, next.

00:39:43.920 And I wish my son was here because I'd like him to actually ask these questions.

00:39:48.700 Um, but, uh, uh, he came to me.

00:39:52.420 Oh, I don't know, about a week ago. 0.94

00:39:54.260 And he said, dad, uh, I'm getting killed by my friends on gender and sex. 0.80

00:40:01.980 And, uh, they're saying, uh, sex is fluid or jet. 0.99

00:40:08.760 I don't remember what the argument was, but it was, it was ridiculous. 0.97

00:40:12.080 Uh, and, uh, he said, I don't even know how to defend myself on this.

00:40:18.260 And I said, son, I don't want to give you bad information, you know, or straw man arguments.

00:40:24.300 I, I know somebody who is like the leading scientist, literal scientist on this.

00:40:30.880 And her name is Dr. Debra, Debra So.

00:40:34.560 And, uh, she's an author, The End of Gender.

00:40:37.960 Uh, she's the host of the Dr. Debra So podcast.

00:40:40.440 And I want to have a conversation with her that I could have had privately because it was really meant for me to advise my son.

00:40:49.700 But I think you're probably struggling with many of the same things.

00:40:53.460 How do you give your kids a defense on what they're facing with their kids, their friends, and their schools?

00:41:00.020 So, the difference between gender and sex, how to talk to your kids about that.

00:41:05.980 Debra So joins us next. 0.98

00:41:11.700 Let me tell you about Bilt Bar.

00:41:13.220 This is something I would like to recommend to Stu because he seems to be on the path of an alcoholic.

00:41:29.360 It's a swoosh show, I swear.

00:41:33.180 I, Stu, I used to do those shows.

00:41:35.700 It's the sign of alcoholism.

00:41:37.800 It's fair.

00:41:38.680 It's fair.

00:42:07.540 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:42:15.340 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:42:33.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:42.360 Hello, America.

00:42:43.660 So, if you're a parent, you may have already experienced this.

00:42:48.200 I just experienced it last week with my son.

00:42:51.020 He came to me and said, Dad, I am losing badly.

00:42:54.540 Badly.

00:42:55.100 I don't even know how to argue the difference between gender and sex.

00:42:59.840 Everybody is saying that, you know, gender reveal parties are really bad because you can't have gender.

00:43:07.900 But it's also, it's now hateful if you talk about biological sex.

00:43:13.920 I don't know how to argue this.

00:43:15.840 And I said, I'm going to be real honest with you.

00:43:18.020 I don't either.

00:43:19.260 But I know somebody who does know.

00:43:22.540 And so this, this, this is really, I could have done this in a private phone call if she would have, if she would have done this with me and my son.

00:43:28.600 But I thought it was really important because I know I'm not alone.

00:43:31.520 How do you equip your kids to even just not be a pariah?

00:43:37.940 Dr. Deborah So joins us in 60 seconds.

00:43:44.240 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:46.660 I remember one day I could get out and I could lift pianos on my back.

00:43:52.620 And I did every day of my life.

00:43:55.220 When I was three years old, my dad said, lift that piano.

00:43:57.940 And I'd lift that piano.

00:43:58.900 And then I started getting into exercise and I would lift two pianos, one in each arm.

00:44:04.540 And then I decided to go on a 140K marathon, a piano marathon.

00:44:12.020 But now as I get older, my shoulders kind of hurt.

00:44:15.740 Yeah, it might have been because you were lifting pianos.

00:44:17.380 But anyway, whatever the deal is, as you get older, you can't do the things that you used to do.

00:44:22.840 It hurts.

00:44:23.920 I hate getting old.

00:44:26.220 Anyway, relief factor is there.

00:44:28.460 Because I can't lift a piano.

00:44:30.780 I don't know if you can lift a piano anymore.

00:44:32.520 But relief factor will be there to take away the pains from the times when you were lifting pianos or doing whatever it is that you were doing.

00:44:40.960 Try it for three weeks.

00:44:42.340 70% of the people who try it go on to order more because it works for them, which means there's about 30% of the population this isn't going to work for.

00:44:49.820 You'll know in three weeks.

00:44:51.020 So try the three-week quick start.

00:44:53.140 See if it works.

00:44:54.040 If it does, order more.

00:44:55.020 If it doesn't, yes, you're out 20 bucks.

00:44:57.400 But you're probably part of that 70% of people that it works for.

00:45:01.440 Get your life back with Relief Factor.

00:45:11.100 The pianos will thank you.

00:45:14.260 As will the piano industry.

00:45:17.520 Dr. Debra So is with us.

00:45:19.300 She's the author of the book, The End of Gender.

00:45:22.740 The host of the Dr. Debra So podcast.

00:45:25.340 She did a podcast with me, Debra, what was it, about a year ago?

00:45:29.960 Maybe, I don't even know.

00:45:31.560 Time is flying now.

00:45:33.680 Oh my goodness, time is so fast.

00:45:35.960 I know.

00:45:36.860 But anyway, it's fascinating.

00:45:39.040 If you want to go really in-depth, look for that podcast.

00:45:42.460 You can go to youtube.com forward slash Glenn Beck.

00:45:47.260 Or, you know, download it wherever you get your podcast.

00:45:50.220 And listen to that whole hour.

00:45:52.140 Debra, thank you so much for being on with me today.

00:45:55.340 You heard the story of my son, Ruby, Sarah's daughter.

00:45:59.640 She's 12.

00:46:00.540 She had the same thing.

00:46:02.540 And we don't even know what we're doing.

00:46:03.840 We don't even know how to argue this.

00:46:05.640 Can you help us on the gender versus sex argument for our kids?

00:46:12.960 Yes, that's what I'm here for.

00:46:14.800 And thank you for having me back.

00:46:16.760 You bet.

00:46:17.420 So I find it so terrifying that this is being taught in kids' curriculum.

00:46:22.580 I mean, my book basically talks about this the entire way through.

00:46:25.340 About how activists are intentionally targeting kids with this ideology.

00:46:29.640 So I guess the way I could start is to explain it for your audience and then maybe how they might go about approaching it with their kids.

00:46:37.720 So the difference between sex and gender, sex, biological sex, is determined by biology.

00:46:44.300 So this is determined by gametes, which are mature reproductive cells.

00:46:48.840 Gametes?

00:46:50.340 Gametes, yes.

00:46:51.720 Okay.

00:46:52.080 And then gender identity refers to how we feel in relation to our biological sex.

00:47:06.260 So statistically speaking, 99% of us identify as our birth sex.

00:47:12.600 So you, Glenn, you were born male, as far as I know, and you identify as male.

00:47:16.740 For that 1% of the population who does not identify as their birth sex, these are transgender people or intersex people.

00:47:24.240 Some intersex people identify as transgender.

00:47:26.340 So they identify as the opposite sex. 1.00

00:47:30.240 So someone might be born male and identifies female or vice versa.

00:47:33.800 And then you have some people who, and intersex refers to people who were born with a medical condition in which they possess both male and female anatomy.

00:47:42.820 And intersex that used to be called hermaphroditism, right?

00:47:46.380 Yeah, yes.

00:47:47.460 That's not considered a sensitive term today.

00:47:50.500 So intersex is usually preferred or people with a difference in sex development.

00:47:54.560 And then there are some people who identify as a third gender.

00:47:59.400 So there's an example of this would be non-binary or gender fluid, or some people use the term gender queer, although I don't like that term because I consider queer to be a slur.

00:48:09.680 But science shows that there are two sexes, two genders.

00:48:14.480 I say people can identify however they want, but from a scientific perspective, there are two.

00:48:20.560 So if we stay on science, this is the part that was all falling apart because I said to my son, chromosomes, you can scientifically find out if you are a male or a female.

00:48:37.740 In 99% of the cases, scientifically, because of the way you're built, you're either male or female. 0.97

00:48:47.220 That's science and biology.

00:48:49.780 Gender is different.

00:48:51.840 And it didn't used to be different, but I don't agree with, you know, identifying as a hundred different things because I believe there's only two.

00:49:01.640 And I believe if you want to be transgendered, you scientifically are not the other gender, but you are choosing to be that other gender. 1.00

00:49:15.400 And, you know, some parts have been changed on you and that's fine.

00:49:19.040 And I don't, I don't hate you for it and I'm, you know, whatever, but you're not a female. 1.00

00:49:24.280 If you were a male, that doesn't fly anymore, does it?

00:49:29.140 No.

00:49:29.700 So biological sex, the concept of biological sex has been deemed hateful.

00:49:33.660 And I don't think it needs to be, I understand why, because I think it can be used in a very insensitive way to marginalize people who identify as transgender.

00:49:44.200 But from a scientific perspective, someone who, say a trans woman, she may identify as female and I'm happy to acknowledge her as female, but from a biological perspective, she was born male.

00:49:57.100 So her sex. 1.00

00:49:57.980 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, because this is what, this is what I'm saying to my son.

00:50:02.480 Look, if I know you and I, you know, even if I don't know you and you're identifying as a, as a female and you were a male, you still biologically, still scientifically, you are a male.

00:50:17.020 However, if you identify as a female, I have no problem saying, hi, ma'am, how are you?

00:50:22.680 You know, whatever, unless that's offensive now and identifying.

00:50:26.800 However, if push comes to shove and my son or I'm, you know, in a court of law or whatever, and my son says she looks awfully manly, I would say, don't say that.

00:50:41.900 That's not nice.

00:50:43.160 But he used to be a he and now he is he's had surgery and he's trying to be a woman and that's his choice. 0.61

00:50:51.800 And it is, you know, it's fine that he's his choice, but I can't under oath or, you know, I'm not going to be a part of a lie.

00:51:00.120 Am I wrong on that?

00:51:02.660 No, no, I agree with that.

00:51:04.120 I mean, I have a chapter in the end of gender that talks about the differences between women who are born women and trans women, because nowadays the narrative is that there are no differences.

00:51:14.340 And again, I think we can talk about these differences, as you mentioned, in a way that is compassionate, but still also be scientifically accurate, because there are differences and those differences play out in meaningful ways.

00:51:25.760 And I think especially when it comes to this ideology, it's extremely confusing and it's dishonest to tell people otherwise.

00:51:31.580 So how do we now let's talk to our kids, your kid sits down with you, Deborah, and says, Mom, I I don't I'm being called hateful because I'm talking about science and they're saying sex doesn't matter.

00:51:49.340 It's all about gender. 0.99

00:51:52.300 What do I what do I say?

00:51:53.980 What I would suggest saying to a child is that I would say from as young as an age you can, let them know that what they're being taught in school may not actually reflect reality, which is really sad to have to say.

00:52:09.180 But plant the seed so that they know and that they feel they can come and talk to you and ask questions because they are going I mean, this is they're targeting kids in kindergarten.

00:52:18.700 I heard you speak about how this is in first grade curriculum.

00:52:22.200 It's completely inappropriate.

00:52:23.240 And this is something that's probably going to be with them throughout their education.

00:52:29.060 I mean, it's not going to be a one time thing if it's not in, say, anti-bullying curriculum or other aspects of their coursework.

00:52:38.280 It's going to be in talks where they bring people to the school to, you know, bring awareness to these issues, which I think is good.

00:52:45.940 But the but the issue is it goes way too far.

00:52:48.360 Right.

00:52:49.300 When they're teaching kids that are things that are not actually true.

00:52:51.360 And like you said, 100 genders or however many people, everyone's gender fluid.

00:52:55.080 So I would say let them know that the science says that there are two sexes, two genders for the for the most part, gender and sex are the same.

00:53:05.200 And as you said, with gender reveal parties, those are actually sex reveal parties because an unborn child cannot tell an adult which gender they are.

00:53:14.320 So wait, that's that's new, right?

00:53:17.040 I mean, gender and sex used to be the same thing.

00:53:21.400 Right.

00:53:22.280 Yeah.

00:53:22.600 For the most part.

00:53:23.880 And I think sometimes people will use the word gender because they don't want to use the word sex because sex has that connotation with human sexuality.

00:53:31.340 And they don't want to use that word.

00:53:35.100 But I think the separation between sex and gender is this greater push from trans activism.

00:53:41.540 But then there's also this weird conflation, because now what some activists will say is that a trans person, so a trans woman is biologically female, which is not true.

00:53:52.340 And I don't think it should be considered big to say that because it's just not factually true.

00:53:56.640 So there's so much confusion about it.

00:53:58.660 And then I would just say, yeah, let your kids know people can identify as a third gender if they want or whatever.

00:54:05.540 But again, and be kind to these people.

00:54:08.600 But science is what it is.

00:54:10.080 Of course.

00:54:11.520 So we're talking to Dr. Deborah So.

00:54:14.440 She is a sex neurologist, neuroscientist, I should say.

00:54:19.980 And she has written a great deal about this.

00:54:22.860 Have you ever thought about writing something either for parents or for kids?

00:54:28.260 And when I say kids, I mean, you know, teenagers that are just being bombarded with this stuff.

00:54:34.600 I've gotten so many requests from parents to do something like that.

00:54:37.820 I would say the end of gender is written.

00:54:40.020 The feedback I've gotten has been so positive.

00:54:42.200 And people have said to me that they can fully understand what I'm saying.

00:54:45.160 It was written in a way that makes the science almost fun to read, which made me very happy to hear.

00:54:49.680 So I would say teenagers could even read the end of gender.

00:54:52.460 I would love to do something for younger, like school, school age.

00:54:57.480 I mean, I guess teenagers are technically school age, but even younger than that.

00:55:00.320 Because it's crazy.

00:55:01.740 It's crazy.

00:55:02.220 The basic information like this, you would think that putting them in school would take care of it.

00:55:07.120 But that's not the case anymore.

00:55:08.840 And when they say that's not what science says.

00:55:12.440 Science doesn't say that.

00:55:13.780 When they start to argue that you're on rock solid ground to say, no, you're wrong about that.

00:55:21.180 Science shows that that transgender girl is not a girl. 1.00

00:55:27.280 She still has the makeup of of a male athlete.

00:55:33.920 Or not.

00:55:34.900 Correct.

00:55:35.880 Correct.

00:55:36.760 I mean, I would say that's another super contentious issue.

00:55:41.480 But again, I think we have to be able to talk about it because there are serious implications in this case for for girls who are competing against them.

00:55:48.080 Yeah.

00:55:49.700 So are you solid?

00:55:51.400 Are you on solid ground with the science on that?

00:55:54.640 Yeah.

00:55:55.060 What I would say is actually in my book, I have all of the citations.

00:55:58.320 So you can use that as a reference because I would have colleagues who would say to me, what do I do when I go into these meetings with the principal or administration?

00:56:06.300 And they say the quote unquote, new science backs up what they're teaching.

00:56:10.760 And I said, well, that was the inspiration of my book was to offer a reference to people who just want to know objectively what is the truth.

00:56:17.820 All the citations are there.

00:56:19.020 So you can look up the studies yourself.

00:56:20.440 You can bring it to them and say, this is why your curriculum or your policies are not fact based.

00:56:26.880 But when it comes to sports, especially, I'm just aghast at what has been happening lately.

00:56:30.900 It's just it's unbelievable.

00:56:34.940 How's your life?

00:56:36.880 Is it settled down some?

00:56:38.740 Are you are you still getting as much hate as you used to?

00:56:42.460 How's your life?

00:56:43.020 As much as I ever have.

00:56:45.060 But I just get I've gotten used to it at this point.

00:56:47.680 And I just feel that the most remarkable thing is that it's always the same criticisms.

00:56:53.540 Either they lie about what I've said.

00:56:55.740 They lie about what's in the book.

00:56:57.360 They'll explicitly say critics will explicitly say things claim.

00:57:01.140 I've said things that I've said the exact opposite of or they'll just do personal attacks.

00:57:07.580 They'll call me names, which tells me that they don't actually have a point and that they can't actually argue with what I'm saying.

00:57:13.480 I recently gave a talk at the Oxford Union and it was it blew my mind the extent to which some students went trying to get that talk.

00:57:21.080 He platformed.

00:57:21.880 And so I'm super grateful I was I was given the go ahead to speak by the president, James Price.

00:57:27.940 And, you know, there are some people who will stand up against it.

00:57:31.980 And you, Glenn, thank you for having me on.

00:57:33.420 I mean, you've had me on multiple times and we just have to keep keep going.

00:57:38.860 Yeah, we do.

00:57:40.180 It's it's frightening.

00:57:41.460 You know, your book is called The End of Gender. 0.99

00:57:43.460 But we are looking at the end of of truth.

00:57:46.400 We really are looking at the end of truth on so many fronts.

00:57:51.380 Yeah.

00:57:52.600 Yeah, we really are.

00:57:53.840 And I mean, it's not just with I mean, how old is your son?

00:57:58.080 He is 16 now.

00:58:00.180 16.

00:58:00.920 So if he goes on to to we spoke a bit about this last time.

00:58:04.880 And once you get to university, it is no different.

00:58:08.500 And it is in the academic sciences even.

00:58:10.940 And so it's it's crazy to me, the extent to which knowledge now is being basically taken hostage, because it's not about just advocating for equal rights, which I think is a good thing.

00:58:23.940 I mean, I used to be very much in favor of social justice when I was younger.

00:58:27.180 I've come to a bit of a different perspective on social justice now.

00:58:30.880 And I think it's actually quite harmful.

00:58:32.360 So it's the fact that there's no there's no debate, there's no attempt to understand even the other side or whether your your perspective is correct in terms of activism.

00:58:44.820 Activists just really want to shut down people who disagree with them and they want to contort science to fit whatever agenda they have.

00:58:52.260 It's really disturbing.

00:58:53.440 And it's something that I unfortunately don't see getting better anytime soon.

00:58:59.100 Dr. Debra So, thank you so much.

00:59:01.060 She's the host of the Dr. Debra So podcast and the author of a book that we all have to read, The End of Gender.

00:59:09.820 Thank you very much, Debra.

00:59:11.220 I appreciate it.

00:59:11.980 Thank you so much.

00:59:12.900 You bet.

00:59:16.080 Timeshare termination team.

00:59:17.920 Timeshare termination team.

00:59:20.360 2020 wasn't really kind to timeshare owners with the new restrictions and limitations popping up all the time.

00:59:27.020 This year is not looking like it's going to be much better.

00:59:29.840 And if you're one of the people who owns a timeshare, I'm betting you know exactly what I'm talking about.

00:59:35.880 People are desperate to sell their timeshares.

00:59:38.000 But having success with that is a roll of the dice at best.

00:59:41.200 Most of the time, nobody wants to buy it because they know it's not going to work out well for them.

00:59:46.420 Timeshare termination team is there and they are different than others that say, hey, geez, we can sell.

00:59:51.800 We can get you out of that timeshare because I used to work in the timeshare industry. 0.99

01:00:36.820 It's timeshare termination team dot com.

01:00:39.680 10 seconds station ID.

01:00:49.200 Stu, you did a great monologue last night, and I know we don't have time to get into all of it, but you did a great monologue last night where you did Johnson and Johnson and the vaccines.

01:01:05.800 There's a new poll out that shows that 23 percent of Americans are now less confident in the vaccines because of what they did with Johnson and Johnson.

01:01:17.600 I mean, it's it's insane when you look at the actual numbers.

01:01:23.300 Yeah. 0.98

01:01:23.840 I mean, you know, we're talking the old dumb and dumber clip, you know, it's about one in a million. 0.93

01:01:30.240 You're telling me there's a chance. 0.99

01:01:31.420 There's a chance.

01:01:32.120 Like that's basically what we're talking.

01:01:33.660 It's legitimately it's actually more than one million.

01:01:35.920 One point three three million people, you know, have been able to have had these blood clot issues.

01:01:42.680 One person has died out of seven million people who have had the vaccine.

01:01:46.840 And again, they have no real idea for sure that it's even caused by the vaccine.

01:01:51.700 So it's incredibly rare side effect.

01:01:53.820 We all know that every medication has the possibility of a negative side effect.

01:01:58.840 But when you compare it to the risks for, you know, for an ongoing pandemic, like the only real decision to be made is if you were a very young person at the very young, youngest ages of eligibility in an area where, you know, COVID wasn't really an issue.

01:02:19.880 You could make an argument.

01:02:21.500 You know, it's a pretty close case as to whether this would be, you know, a risk reward profile for you.

01:02:27.720 But I mean, you know, if you're anyone who's getting the Johnson and Johnson vaccine anyway is probably going to be older and there's no evidence of this whatsoever.

01:02:35.540 And it does it does hurt confidence.

01:02:38.160 You know, luckily, we have the luxury of having two other completely different vaccines that are totally a different type and don't have any of these side effects.

01:02:46.520 So, you know, we have a luxury of a big supply of those.

01:02:51.120 So it shouldn't really, you know, but it screws with people's heads.

01:02:54.460 You know, if we can't if you can't answer this in one sentence, write it down so we can talk about it either later or tomorrow.

01:03:00.780 But when I was up in Connecticut, people were like, you didn't get the vaccine.

01:03:05.260 And I'm like, no, I've had COVID.

01:03:07.200 Everybody in my family had COVID.

01:03:09.020 I got it.

01:03:10.000 Oh, you got to get the vaccine.

01:03:11.640 No, I don't want the vaccine.

01:03:13.380 If if you've already had it, aren't you part of herd immunity?

01:03:18.720 Likely, at least for a while, for sure.

01:03:21.140 We can go into it more and more in depth.

01:03:23.040 The latest science seems to indicate the best case scenario would be one dose, not two.

01:03:27.420 But again, you know, until people start, you know, in large numbers, start getting it over again.

01:03:34.000 You're probably fine if you've already had it.

01:03:38.040 Back in just a second with more.

01:03:41.520 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:03:44.880 You know, the money you were going to get back from your taxes in your tax return.

01:03:49.040 Remember all that money that you had absolutely no idea what you were going to do with?

01:03:54.760 Great news.

01:03:55.780 Great news.

01:03:56.180 Don't worry about it.

01:03:57.240 Because your computer might have been hacked, your cell phone been hacked, you might have stayed at a hotel where your information was shared from some hacker.

01:04:05.620 Don't have to worry about that tax return anymore, because somebody else, a cyber criminal, has taken all that information, and they are now spending your tax dollars or your rebate tax dollars on, you know, whatever they want.

01:04:17.780 So don't worry about it.

01:04:52.320 All right, it's one shot of beer per hour for an hour while attempting to talk politics.

01:05:02.340 It gets very messy.

01:05:03.280 It's the Studos America Power Hour tomorrow night, 9 p.m. Eastern on YouTube.

01:05:07.360 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:05:15.000 Let me give you a couple of things on why we really need to look at the economy and be prepared for what is coming.

01:05:24.460 I want you just, I feel like my job is to warn you of the things that are coming when I can give you ways to navigate around, but at least so you can hear the warning and decide yourself what you're going to do with that.

01:05:45.600 Right now, there is, it's a weird thing.

01:05:49.420 Millennials now, for the first time, can afford home ownership, but there's a problem.

01:05:57.160 There's not enough houses to go around that are starter houses.

01:06:01.140 So 30 and 34-year-olds are getting into buying their homes.

01:06:08.580 Increasing numbers of between 25 and 29 are buying their first homes.

01:06:14.340 And the issue is, there's no homes being built right now.

01:06:23.900 There's a shortage of builders.

01:06:26.880 There's a shortage of homes, not builders, but building supplies.

01:06:30.480 I don't know if you've been following the price of wood, but just trying to buy plywood has gone from, what is it, $13 to now $54.

01:06:43.520 And I've seen in parts of the country, plywood is high as $90 a sheet.

01:06:49.300 It's plywood.

01:06:51.400 We're trying to build a shelf in our house and tried to order some wood.

01:06:55.480 And they said, well, it's going to be a while.

01:06:56.900 And I'm like, I'm not asking for fancy wood.

01:06:59.780 And they said, yeah, but you want hardwood.

01:07:01.720 And I said, yeah, but it can be any hardwood.

01:07:04.640 Still going to be a while.

01:07:05.480 There's a shortage of hardwood.

01:07:06.860 I mean, it is, if you're building a house right now, if you're getting a loan to build the house, buy all of the supplies now.

01:07:18.100 I mean, you're risking because, you know, you're buying in advance.

01:07:23.400 And some people are saying, yeah, price is going to go down.

01:07:26.100 What makes you think that?

01:07:27.760 Well, it always does.

01:07:28.920 Oh, really?

01:07:29.440 Well, it always hasn't been like this either.

01:07:32.380 It's never been like this.

01:07:34.460 All of the things going on around the world.

01:07:37.420 So people are buying homes.

01:07:42.680 And now they can't afford the home because there's a shortage of them.

01:07:47.520 Speaking of shortages, more food shortages are on the way.

01:07:51.660 That is because, as the COVID crisis heated up, the demand for meat increased.

01:07:59.340 Grocers had to place limits on the quantities that consumers could purchase.

01:08:03.960 Remember this about a year ago?

01:08:06.300 Now analysts are predicting that a shortage of pork could send the hot dog and bacon prices soaring if it could be found at all in the stores.

01:08:18.000 The pork shortage comes now as many states are easing up on their COVID restrictions, dropping the mask mandates and opening restaurants, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

01:08:28.360 So you have an increase of prices of any kind of pork products.

01:08:35.260 Chlorine to treat swimming pools, that price is skyrocketing.

01:08:40.540 It's running out at some stores.

01:08:42.680 Some pool technicians who use it can't even get their hands on it.

01:08:46.340 Swimming pool technicians are working six and seven days a week because they can't keep up with it because of chlorine.

01:08:54.480 But one of the chlorine plants, in fact, the largest chlorine plant in the country, is creating some of the problems.

01:09:05.940 You try to get you try to get somebody to work there.

01:09:10.960 You can't pay them enough with the storms that we have had.

01:09:17.120 The weather that we had here in in Texas, that is hurting it.

01:09:21.660 That's also hurting styrofoam.

01:09:24.160 If you're blowing insulation into your house and it's the styrofoam kind of the foam that listen to this one.

01:09:33.160 I don't know if you heard this, Stu, but Chevron was promised by the state that they would never have a power outage.

01:09:42.660 Now, would you believe the state if they told you it's a 100 percent guarantee that we will never have a power outage?

01:09:54.640 No, I would.

01:09:55.580 I would not.

01:09:56.240 I wouldn't either.

01:09:56.900 I would take precautions on my own side.

01:09:58.180 Now, maybe if I'm somebody who's just, you know, cooking in my house and I like, OK, but I'm getting an electric stove.

01:10:06.720 You'll never have a power outage.

01:10:08.780 OK, maybe I believe them and then I'm inconvenienced for a while.

01:10:14.180 But if I'm building a billion dollar industry, a billion dollar structure and it's making styrofoam and if the power goes out, everything sets and congeals.

01:10:28.820 And now the plant is useless.

01:10:32.240 I think I get a backup generator.

01:10:34.600 Yeah.

01:10:35.000 You know, I think I I think I don't roll that dice.

01:10:37.900 So now styrofoam that will be any kind of styrofoam, anything that is like the biggest maker of that.

01:10:49.220 The plant is down and Chevron has come out and said they're working on a plan to be able to reopen and fulfill some orders, but they don't know what that plan is yet.

01:11:03.580 So anybody who had an order in for this stuff, you had they canceled all orders and said, reapply and we'll try to get you a price and a time.

01:11:14.340 So everything is going is skyrocketing at the same time.

01:11:21.480 Jobs are coming back and you can't hire anybody because you're not paying them enough.

01:11:29.200 Wait a minute.

01:11:30.200 Really?

01:11:30.780 Look at the unemployment numbers.

01:11:32.220 We there's a there's a problem getting people to go back to work.

01:11:36.800 Yeah, because basically your unemployment now because of Biden, you can make about twenty dollars an hour on unemployment insurance.

01:11:47.340 So if you're working an average 40 hour a week, you're making, you know, 20 bucks an hour.

01:11:53.480 Well, why would I go take a job that's going to pay me nine, 13, hell, even 15?

01:11:59.400 Why would I take that job?

01:12:01.920 I'm losing five dollars an hour.

01:12:04.060 I don't think so.

01:12:05.260 All of these things that are happening, all of these things are happening are in in my view.

01:12:17.140 A way to accelerate the universal basic income idea.

01:12:23.420 All of these problems, with the exception of the Chevron plant.

01:12:27.540 Well, no, even that one was manmade. 1.00

01:12:29.160 That was stupid. 1.00

01:12:31.020 But all of these problems are coming because of our policies. 0.99

01:12:35.500 And I told you years ago, there's going to come a time where in this place where it's a giant crunch of of the industrial revolution, except now it's the technological revolution.

01:12:49.320 It's an AI revolution.

01:12:51.360 It's a robotic revolution.

01:12:53.780 And there's going to be fewer and fewer jobs for people to do.

01:12:57.800 And so the argument is universal basic income.

01:13:00.960 And we did a show on it years ago because I said, look, you have to start thinking about these things now because truck drivers are going to lose their jobs.

01:13:09.560 And there's going to be huge unemployment and, you know, high tech will be deemed a bad guy.

01:13:16.800 Government will be deemed a bad guy because they won't have a way out.

01:13:21.520 So what are you going to do?

01:13:24.080 And when it hits, it's going to be horrible.

01:13:25.960 Well, I think that they are they are moving us into not working as as this as a result of this covid nonsense.

01:13:39.560 And covid is real.

01:13:40.980 The vaccines are real.

01:13:43.560 I'm not a science denier or anything else.

01:13:46.380 I just think this is has been used for other purposes.

01:13:51.420 Have you read the story, Stu, of of these business people that can't hire anybody at all?

01:13:58.060 Yeah, there's a piece in the dispatch today about that, talking about, for example, one diner owner in Ohio.

01:14:06.340 The diner is now, of course, going out of business.

01:14:08.960 It's owned by the Andersons.

01:14:10.640 They talk about how a line cook at Dale's Diner starts at eleven dollars an hour, up two dollars an hour over what it was before the pandemic.

01:14:17.540 So they've already gone from nine to eleven dollars an hour, according to the owner.

01:14:22.340 That's four hundred forty dollars a week or seven hundred and sixty dollars a month, roughly twenty one K a year, not including overtime or business.

01:14:28.940 It's a starter job.

01:14:29.780 Right. But they're paying eleven bucks an hour, twenty one K a year, but pandemic driven unemployment often pays more, sometimes far more.

01:14:36.520 In Ohio, according to data from from the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services, the state provided weekly unemployment benefits that averaged three hundred and forty dollars.

01:14:45.680 Add that to the unemployment supplements from the federal government, which have ranged between three hundred and six hundred dollars per week, depending on which covid law funded them.

01:14:54.700 And you have some workers paid between six hundred and forty and nine hundred and forty dollars per week to stay home between thirty three thousand and almost fifty thousand on an annualized basis.

01:15:03.680 So if you're a person who's looking at a job for a dishwasher and your your argument is, do I work a full week for four hundred and forty dollars or do I stay home for a minimum of six hundred and forty dollars and maybe up to nine hundred and forty dollars?

01:15:19.640 What decision are you going to make? And the guy who owns the diner says that he would normally get.

01:15:27.380 You know, he would put out, you know, a call for a new job and he would get anywhere from six to twelve applications in the first week or whatever.

01:15:36.460 And we get to take our pick. We'll get to pick the best of the bunch within the last couple of months.

01:15:40.600 We don't even get a call when he posts a job there.

01:15:44.200 There's a story in the New York Post that's very similar to this.

01:15:47.080 They're talking about a firm, a law firm that is offering forty thousand dollars for for, you know, just being an assistant, you know, an executive assistant.

01:16:00.660 Forty thousand dollars is starting pay.

01:16:02.140 They said that they are getting calls and applications.

01:16:07.660 But when they call them back and say, hey, we saw your application, we'd love to have you come in for an interview.

01:16:14.780 They're not they're not getting even callbacks.

01:16:18.000 And this law firm said it's because they're just fulfilling their unemployment.

01:16:24.120 You know, obligation. Have you filed for any jobs?

01:16:27.400 You've been out looking for a job. Yep. I've sent my applications out.

01:16:30.320 They're not even returning the phone calls.

01:16:33.240 I mean, we are we are in such a bad place.

01:16:37.160 And here's what's happening at the same time.

01:16:39.460 Did you see the Taco Bell in New York City?

01:16:42.560 I've seen lots of Taco Bells in New York City, frankly, I used to work there all the time.

01:16:46.860 There's a new one that has no order takers.

01:16:51.720 It's all automated.

01:16:53.740 OK, the entire Taco Bell is automated.

01:16:56.940 So you have some people working, you know, there to keep the machines and keep things moving.

01:17:03.660 But they've cut the staff by more than half.

01:17:07.820 OK, so now these companies are having a hard time filling those jobs.

01:17:12.900 And at the same time, technology is able to replace those jobs.

01:17:17.740 Those jobs aren't coming.

01:17:19.260 They're not coming back.

01:17:20.800 They're not coming back.

01:17:21.920 Also, in Houston, I think it's Pizza Hut just introduced the first robotic driverless delivery service.

01:17:32.420 So you order a pizza and it's on a trial basis now.

01:17:35.780 You have to opt in on it.

01:17:37.280 But you call for a pizza.

01:17:39.060 You give the order.

01:17:39.900 You pay for it.

01:17:40.880 They give you a code.

01:17:43.560 Within 30 minutes, this robot pulls up in your driveway.

01:17:48.340 You go out.

01:17:49.560 You put the code into the side of it.

01:17:51.900 The side of this thing opens up.

01:17:53.760 And there's your pizza.

01:17:54.520 And it's still warm because it's this this thing has been made to keep food warm and that, you know, that the pizza isn't upside down.

01:18:03.460 There goes all of the pizza delivery entry jobs.

01:18:06.460 I mean, we are creating this perfect storm right now where universal basic income is going to be embraced by people because they don't want to work anymore.

01:18:19.540 And then if they did, they can't get a job.

01:18:22.840 That's incredible.

01:18:25.240 I mean, it's all lining up to that same thing.

01:18:27.460 I mean, and it's Andrew Yang's dream world here.

01:18:30.600 Yeah.

01:18:30.840 And let me tell you this.

01:18:32.780 The problem with all of this is, is if you can't get starter and entry level jobs, how do you how do you how do you find others?

01:18:43.920 How do you replace people?

01:18:46.580 You know, this is what Clear Channel did back in the 90s.

01:18:49.660 They just fired all of these young people because the business wasn't viable anymore.

01:18:55.480 So they fired all the weekenders and everybody else.

01:18:58.240 Well, now there's nobody in the industry that's coming up in the industry.

01:19:02.660 And so now you have this this almost impossible thing to fill the jobs because you don't have any starter entry level jobs.

01:19:12.480 How do you grow the next talent?

01:19:14.860 It's just this nasty cycle that we are we're beginning and we're watching it unfold right in front of us.

01:19:21.780 More and more every day, people are discovering the wonders, really the wonders of rough greens for their dogs.

01:19:30.800 I've seen what it does to my dog, Uno.

01:19:32.900 He has he has always been a picky and that's not even right.

01:19:37.460 He hated to eat and we could never get him to gain weight.

01:19:42.640 The the vet was always like, you got to get him to gain weight.

01:19:45.600 You're like, you want to come over and feed him because we have to hand feed him every day.

01:19:49.140 He hates eating.

01:19:51.620 Now, last night, I'm not I'm not or is it this morning not making this up?

01:19:56.360 My daughter was in the kitchen and I had just fed Uno, put the rough greens on top of the food.

01:20:01.740 And she said, what's that?

01:20:03.620 What's that noise?

01:20:04.260 And I said, that is Uno licking the sides of the bowl and everything clean.

01:20:10.960 He's pushing it up against the wall so he can kind of corner it and he can get every last lick out of it.

01:20:17.680 It's amazing.

01:20:19.800 Rough greens.

01:20:20.840 It has all kinds of vitamins and minerals, all the stuff that makes your dog healthy and happy.

01:20:25.680 It really makes them like their food.

01:20:28.540 If your dog doesn't like rough greens, then this will be wrong for you.

01:20:31.440 And the rough greens people don't want you to have to pay for a bag of rough greens that your dog's not going to eat.

01:23:02.100 It's American financing dot net.

01:23:03.680 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:33.380 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:23:42.980 Hello, America.

01:23:44.360 Last night, we did a very important show on critical race theory and how it has infiltrated your schools all across the country.

01:23:52.860 It is coming and it is it's really diabolical.

01:23:57.580 It is teaching your kids that at birth, within three months before they can even walk, babies, white babies become racists.

01:24:08.840 It is it is it is something that will divide us, get us fighting with one another and destroy our souls of our children and our country.

01:24:21.960 It is it is it is it's the number one thing we should be doing because we lose our kids.

01:24:27.200 We've lost everything.

01:24:28.480 Nothing else matters today.

01:24:30.720 We're going to do a couple of things.

01:24:32.760 I have Dr. Edward Everett Piper coming on in a minute.

01:24:36.260 He's former president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University.

01:24:39.980 Really common sense guy.

01:24:42.120 He's written a book that just came out called Grow Up.

01:24:46.980 Life isn't safe, but it's good to talk about some common sense.

01:24:51.420 And I've also asked him to come prepared with some university names that you can check out that that your kids are not going to be indoctrinated at.

01:25:01.580 Where should our kids go?

01:25:03.540 Because I am not spending a dime on their education if it's going to be indoctrination.

01:25:09.860 But we start with where we left off yesterday on this program with Lori Meyer.

01:25:14.780 She's the co-founder of Educators for Quality and Equality.

01:25:18.900 She's a California educator and doing something. 0.94

01:25:22.160 And part of the problem with this is, is we don't know where to begin to fight.

01:25:26.240 We don't know exactly what we're looking for because this has all happened so quickly.

01:25:30.000 So I asked Lori to come back today and give us the names of some places and some organizations that you can join to join the battle.

01:25:39.980 Because this is a nationwide battle against critical race theory.

01:25:44.300 And we begin there in one minute.

01:25:49.860 Well, there comes a point in the year when it's finally time to get out under God's blue sky and give that old lawn a haircut.

01:25:58.360 A little bit of sweat on the brow beneath the old straw sun hat or a baseball cap.

01:26:05.340 Favorite tune in your ears.

01:26:06.760 You can sing along.

01:26:08.080 No one's going to hear you.

01:26:09.040 Sweet smell of the freshly mown grass hanging in the air as you roar by on your Hustler turf zero-turn lawnmower.

01:26:16.940 For a while, everything seems right with the world.

01:26:20.660 Hustler's been making mowers for industrial jobs for literally decades.

01:26:24.560 They pioneered the zero-turn lawnmower.

01:26:27.180 Perfected it, in fact.

01:26:28.860 Now they're making zero-turn lawnmowers for you and your yard.

01:26:32.660 Same old sturdy, tough-as-nails, run-forever quality, but a size that matches your needs.

01:26:39.000 There are a lot of great lawnmowers out there.

01:26:41.860 A lot of them.

01:26:42.940 But there is only one Hustler turf zero-turn mower.

01:26:46.280 And they're the people that made it last forever and perfected it.

01:26:51.180 Take a little time.

01:26:53.100 Do an A-B comparison.

01:26:54.540 If you're in the market for a new zero-turn lawnmower, go check out what everybody else will say is the best.

01:27:00.800 Then I want you to find a Hustler turf dealer and go ride, test drive a Hustler turf.

01:27:06.860 There is no comparison.

01:27:09.240 It's a Hustler turf at HustlerTurf.com.

01:27:13.360 HustlerTurf.com.

01:27:15.760 Welcome back to the program.

01:27:29.780 Lori Myers, co-founders of Educators for Quality and Equality.

01:27:35.140 She was on with us yesterday.

01:27:36.880 And let me just pick it up kind of where we touched on yesterday.

01:27:42.960 And then we're going to get to some resources.

01:27:44.940 If you missed yesterday, critical race theory is a theory whose really primary objective, as we talked about last night, comes from the Frankfurt School, which is a socialist Marxist school.

01:28:01.220 It is to divide us and to get us to destroy each other and the Western way of life.

01:28:10.000 That is its designed purpose from the beginning.

01:28:15.920 Now, you can say it's all about equity and everything else, but that is what it will do.

01:28:19.700 And it will destroy our families and our children.

01:28:23.300 I want to talk to Lori, who's joining us now.

01:28:29.000 There was a story in Newsweek about the pathway to equitable math instruction.

01:28:34.820 And the reason why I want to go into this is because it was funded by the Gates Foundation.

01:28:40.540 And, you know, Bill Gates has done a lot of good.

01:28:43.420 But he, I think, looks at our children as, you know, the workers that he'll need.

01:28:50.340 Your whole purpose in life is to just work for the corporations.

01:28:55.340 I believe that's the way he feels about things.

01:28:58.140 And he's taking away our choices of our kids by some of the measurements that he wants to use.

01:29:03.300 It's, you know, watching how their eyes dilate, et cetera, et cetera.

01:29:09.660 When it comes to math, I can't find anything in this program that he's helping fund that will help a corporation or help anyone.

01:29:20.780 Because it's not really even about math.

01:29:24.280 Lori?

01:29:26.600 Glenn, thank you again for having me on today.

01:29:29.300 And especially to talk about resources for parents, because the good news is that there is a lot that parents can do to make a difference in their schools and lots of resources out there.

01:29:40.160 But back to the math program, it's interesting that you bring that up because it is certainly Bill Gates or anybody else's prerogative to have an opinion on whether there is white supremacy in math or whether certain math practices are white supremacists.

01:29:57.600 But our focus as educators is the harm that this will do to students in the classroom.

01:30:03.300 And the problem with this ideology in a math curriculum is that it doesn't set up teachers for success in teaching math to their students.

01:30:12.680 It literally pits students against each other if a certain math practice is called white supremacists.

01:30:18.460 How is this being taught?

01:30:24.480 What are they suggesting you do as a math teacher?

01:30:29.340 Well, there are many concerning things about the pathway to equitable math.

01:30:34.760 One of the most concerning things is that there actually are good math teaching practices in this pathway document, but they're going to be lost under the characterization of white supremacy.

01:30:48.460 And what was interesting is I actually have a colleague who had a conversation about this with a very progressive school board member who actually agreed.

01:30:59.540 So the school board member agreed that there is white supremacy in math classrooms.

01:31:03.960 But even this progressive school board member agreed that this is a harmful way of teaching students and that characterizing math practices as white supremacists is going to alienate most of the teachers out there.

01:31:18.440 So any good in the pathway document will be lost in the noise.

01:31:22.120 Okay, yesterday we talked a little bit about what to look for in your schools and, you know, I just wish there was, you know, documents out there and that's what I want to talk to you about.

01:31:35.400 There are documents out there.

01:31:37.100 There are websites.

01:31:38.040 There are resources that show you what to look for and how to fight it.

01:31:42.660 And I was talking to one of, I think, one of this century's great fighters at the beginning of this program, and we were talking about how, you know, it's a scary thing.

01:31:56.000 But, you know, our military, they're scared.

01:31:58.940 They go in and, you know, they don't know what they're facing.

01:32:01.140 They could be facing death.

01:32:02.320 But one of the things that they have in their back pocket that helps them is this camaraderie or this feeling of brotherhood.

01:32:10.280 We don't have that yet.

01:32:11.700 We feel like we're fighting alone on this, and we need that feeling of brotherhood.

01:32:16.480 We need to know that we're not alone.

01:32:18.040 So where can people go to get information and get involved in their schools?

01:32:24.660 I'm really glad you asked.

01:32:27.300 And that is the key question.

01:32:29.160 We all know that there is a problem, and the most important thing to talk about is what to do.

01:32:34.500 And the good news is that there are lots of resources for parents, educators, community members who want to take action.

01:32:41.000 Whether you're an experienced advocate or you don't even know what a school board does, there are things that you can do right now, even today, to get started and make a difference.

01:32:51.940 And I want to thank everybody who's listening right now because you've taken the first step.

01:32:56.740 And the first step is to get informed.

01:32:59.220 And by listening right now, you're starting to get informed and educated.

01:33:02.340 I mean, unless this is being used, you know, as a torture device and, you know, you're strapped to a table and you're like, you're going to listen to the Glenn Beck program, then you might not have a choice.

01:33:13.480 But so let's let's go over some of these some of these organizations.

01:33:19.000 Let's start with fair for all.org.

01:33:23.260 What is this?

01:33:24.940 So fair for all is foundation against intolerance and racism.

01:33:30.000 It is a fabulous repository of resources, parent and teacher advocacy field guides and more.

01:33:36.940 A key resource on fair, and I'm going to highlight some of my favorites on all these organizations, are the community forums, because your point is absolutely right.

01:33:48.060 We don't want to feel like we're doing this alone.

01:33:50.320 These community forums on fair are a fantastic way to ask specific questions with people who are doing exactly the kind of advocacy that parents and community members are doing to get advice.

01:34:04.160 If you don't know where to start, this is a great place to ask to get into fair, to join fair, get into the forums.

01:34:10.300 And these forums will help guide you to resources that are in your state and to connect with others around a specific issue.

01:34:18.680 So fair is a fabulous place to start.

01:34:21.780 And that is fair for all.org.

01:34:23.760 The next one, I just had Azra on this morning.

01:34:28.480 She's one of the founders of defending ed.org.

01:34:32.780 I think she's remarkable.

01:34:35.220 And what she set up, can you tell me a little bit about that?

01:34:38.480 Right.

01:34:39.040 Parents Defending Education, Azra's organization, is absolutely wonderful.

01:34:43.840 They also are a plethora of resources for parents, community members, teachers who want to make a difference fighting indoctrination in our classrooms.

01:34:55.740 A key resource on Parents Defending Education is what they call their, quote, indoctrination map.

01:35:03.820 And it's an interactive map for people who want to connect to what's going on in their local communities.

01:35:11.240 In fact, after yesterday's show, I got an email from a parent in Indiana who was trying to fight indoctrination in his children's school and needed to connect with others.

01:35:24.100 Because, as you pointed out, having a group to work with is really powerful.

01:35:29.160 I was able to point him to the indoctrination map.

01:35:32.420 And through that, he's going to be able to connect to specific resources in Indiana that will help him with his advocacy.

01:35:39.160 That is a really good map.

01:35:41.760 I'd like to see it much more populated.

01:35:43.920 But it is, again, just beginning.

01:35:46.320 And you can find that indoctrination map at defendinged.org.

01:35:55.180 No left turn in education.

01:35:57.400 This one is really focused on sex ed, are they not?

01:36:00.740 So no left turn in education is focused on a broad set of indoctrination in our schools, including critical race theory and comprehensive sex ed.

01:36:12.240 One of no left turn in education's many, many strengths is that it has chapters in just about every state.

01:36:19.560 So you can get state-specific support.

01:36:22.180 And that's key because the education code, which is something that all of us advocates will get familiar with, they're different in every state.

01:36:31.160 And it's a powerful tool when you go in to advocate if you know what the education code is specifically for your school.

01:36:37.960 So no left turn in education is a great way of connecting with like-minded advocates in your state for resources and support.

01:36:45.900 And that is no left turn dot U.S.

01:36:50.520 You brought up something.

01:36:52.200 I'm a big fan of PragerU.

01:36:54.220 I'm a good friend with Dennis Prager and a supporter of PragerU.

01:36:59.980 I did not know they had resources for educators and parents.

01:37:04.700 Tell me about that.

01:37:06.260 So that is one of the things I love about PragerU.

01:37:09.660 And their resources for educators and parents have the acronym PREP, Prager Resources for Educators and Parents.

01:37:17.240 And what I love about this site is that students are really the ones on the front lines of what's going on in our schools with critical race theory.

01:37:25.960 And it's important that they have the resources and that they're equipped with how to respond when this comes up in school.

01:37:32.120 And PragerU has videos, resources, all kinds of information for parents and for children so that they can advocate for themselves in an age-appropriate, great-appropriate way.

01:37:47.000 PragerU is really so great.

01:37:49.380 PragerU.com slash PREP, P-R-E-P.

01:37:54.800 Next, I think, is Undoctrinate.org?

01:37:59.080 Right.

01:37:59.580 So Undoctrinate is resources for resources.

01:38:05.280 One of my favorite pages on this site, it has a link, it's called Resources, has links to all kinds of national and local groups that will support you in your advocacy.

01:38:17.200 So it's a condensed version of the indoctrination map on Parents Defending Education.

01:38:23.200 But a great place to go if you want to connect either with national organizations or region-specific organizations for support in your advocacy.

01:38:33.000 Okay, let me take one minute break and then come back and tell me the last two and your favorites, the ones you think that are must visits for parents.

01:38:42.300 We'll do that here in 60 seconds.

01:38:44.180 Stand by.

01:38:44.640 Oh my gosh, it is nice to get away from screens all day sometimes, just put on a good tune or a podcast in your ear, and you could listen to whatever set of earbuds you have floating around the house that haven't already been lost or stolen from you by the kids.

01:38:59.300 But if you're like me, you like something comfortable that has great sound quality, give your ears the royal treatment at half the cost.

01:39:06.760 That's what you're doing when you buy a pair of Raycon wireless earbuds.

01:39:11.860 Unlike a lot of competitors, Raycons are incredibly comfortable, adjustable to your individual ear size, which mine is becoming like Dumbo sized.

01:39:21.320 I don't know why, but the sound quality is out of this world, and the best part is you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for them.

01:39:29.320 They're about half the cost of the leading competitor's product, and you don't have to sacrifice any of the quality, and you get more comfort.

01:39:36.760 Check them out today.

01:39:37.640 Raycon is offering 15% off all of their products.

01:39:40.940 Here's what you have to do to get it.

01:39:42.140 Go to buyraycon.com slash Beck.

01:39:52.680 10-second station ID.

01:39:53.700 So we're with Lori Myers, and we're talking about critical race theory, and if you're a parent, you must, must join with other parents and fight this from coming into your schools.

01:40:18.720 And it's going to be a tough fight, and you can't stand alone.

01:40:22.860 And if you're new to it, you really need to brush up and have some resources to help you.

01:40:29.640 Lori, tell me about the last two, and then go over what you think are must-do.

01:40:33.660 So there are two more on the list.

01:40:37.740 One is Heterodox Academy.

01:40:39.180 It's a nonpartisan nonprofit that's dedicated to viewpoint diversity, which is absolutely key when it comes to critical race theory, which tends to have a one-sided view of the world.

01:40:53.640 And it has resources for higher education, but also resources that are specific for K-12 parents and educators.

01:41:02.500 So I highly recommend going to Heterodox Academy, especially if the way you're seeing critical race theory manifest in your children's classroom is that they are getting a narrow, one-sided perspective instead of a balanced view on education.

01:41:19.140 Isn't that really almost all of them?

01:41:22.220 I mean, everything in our society is now shut up.

01:41:26.200 It's my way or the highway.

01:41:29.380 Agreed.

01:41:30.080 And what's interesting is that I've looked up codes of conduct, not just for the NEA, which is the largest teacher union in the country, but codes of conduct for different states, Florida, Ohio, California, and more.

01:41:43.960 And just about all of them insist that teachers, and I'm quoting, shall not unreasonably deny students access to varying points of view.

01:41:54.600 So that's actually mandated by state education code.

01:41:59.760 So Heterodox can provide lots of resources for combating that in the classroom.

01:42:05.520 Okay.

01:42:06.520 Heterodoxacademy.org is where you go.

01:42:08.920 That's right.

01:42:09.640 That's right.

01:42:10.360 And the last national resource, and then I just want to give a shout out to a few local ones.

01:42:15.540 The last national resource is whataretheylearning.com.

01:42:21.740 And this is a parent-powered K-12 community focused on transparency, which is key.

01:42:29.940 On many of the websites that I've talked about is the quote, sunshine is the best disinfectant.

01:42:35.700 And that's the theme of whataretheylearning.com.

01:42:39.180 It's exposing what's going on in classrooms so that other parents can see what's happening and from each other learn advocacy tools to help make a difference.

01:42:51.040 Okay.

01:42:51.240 We have about 90 seconds.

01:42:53.160 Go ahead.

01:42:53.760 I will go super fast.

01:42:55.620 If you even get onto the Internet and search for Parents Against Critical Theory or Ethnic Studies, you will find no shortage of parent groups, Facebook groups that are dedicated to helping you in your community.

01:43:11.280 Parents Against Critical Theory in Lawton County.

01:43:14.540 Parents United Against Critical Theory in Arizona.

01:43:17.720 Alliance for Constructive Ethnic Studies in California.

01:43:21.340 Northwest Parents Against Critical Theory in the Pacific Northwest.

01:43:24.540 Nobody needs to go this alone.

01:43:27.720 If you don't have somebody in your community right now, connect with one of these organizations to give you the support and the network and the resources you need to make a difference.

01:43:38.940 And we have found that once one person starts to speak up, other people are emboldened to speak up.

01:43:45.860 All you need to do is take the first step and it will make a difference.

01:43:50.580 Thank you so much, Lori.

01:43:51.960 We're going to post this list at glennbeck.com and I'd like to include those Facebook pages because I know the one in Loudoun County.

01:44:00.340 These guys are fearless, fearless, and they are coming up against just a buzzsaw of officials in the education world.

01:44:13.960 And they are getting really good legal support now.

01:44:18.100 Lori Myers, thank you very much.

01:46:07.500 Hey, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:46:14.960 I have an incredible, an incredible podcast that debuts today on BlazeTV.

01:46:24.960 You'll pick it up on Saturday, wherever you get your podcasts, but it's worth being a member of the Blaze and getting it early.

01:46:30.820 I'm doing an interview in just a little while today with Glenn Greenwald, and this is a guy that I wasn't sure whose side he was on.

01:46:41.540 If he was on the good side or the bad side for a while, you know, those are in the days when it was hard to tell the difference between good guys and bad guys.

01:46:49.380 It's becoming really clear right now who actually believes in the freedom of man.

01:46:55.380 Glenn Greenwald joins me on the podcast today.

01:46:58.940 If you're a Blaze subscriber or Saturday, wherever you get your podcasts.

01:47:03.740 We also have Jordan Peterson coming up, I think, next week on the podcast.

01:47:10.080 Somebody who's very much like Jordan Peterson, kind of cut from the same cloth in many ways, is a dear friend of mine who I think we met because of an op-ed that he wrote a few years ago.

01:47:26.740 Is that right?

01:47:27.220 Dr. Everett Piper is with us.

01:47:28.740 Is that right, Everett?

01:47:30.180 Yes, it is.

01:47:31.080 Thanks for having me on, Glenn.

01:47:32.520 And it is correct.

01:47:33.380 Actually, you helped break that story.

01:47:35.840 God used you providentially to push that not-a-daycare story out into the public.

01:47:40.900 That's right.

01:47:40.980 That's what it was.

01:47:41.280 And as a result of you doing so, it had three and a half million hits within a couple of weeks.

01:47:46.620 So kudos to you.

01:47:48.040 Thank you.

01:47:48.800 Oh, no.

01:47:49.320 It was great.

01:47:50.540 You were the president.

01:47:51.520 I think when you wrote that, you were the president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, which is still one of the good universities that you can go to.

01:47:59.100 And I want to talk to you about universities because I hear people, they all know that universities are a problem, but they're all still sending their kids to the same universities.

01:48:10.320 And it's like, what are you doing?

01:48:13.000 And so I want to talk to you a little bit about that.

01:48:15.040 But you have written more, and your latest book is now called Grow Up.

01:48:24.100 Life isn't safe, but it's good.

01:48:26.960 We are obsessed with everybody has to be safe.

01:48:32.140 Nobody can be pissed off.

01:48:33.520 Nobody's, the cover of your book, nobody's going to drop their ice cream cone on the ground.

01:48:38.120 Everything has to be safe.

01:48:39.720 There's nothing enriching that will help you grow if you're entirely safe.

01:48:47.600 Absolutely.

01:48:48.120 In Not a Daycare, the first book that you helped push forward, I was confronting the Snowflake Rebellion and this constant crying and whining within the academy for safe spaces, the complaints about microaggressions and trigger warnings and whatnot.

01:49:06.660 In this book, Grow Up, Life Isn't Safe, But It's Good, I'm actually offering some solutions to that problem.

01:49:13.340 And I'm suggesting that, as C.S. Lewis tells us in the Chronicles of Narnia, the great lion Aslan is not safe, but he's good.

01:49:20.480 The Christ figure is not safe, but he's good.

01:49:23.020 And let's just paraphrase that, Glenn.

01:49:25.020 The great lion of the ivory tower of the academy isn't supposed to be safe.

01:49:29.260 It's supposed to be good.

01:49:30.640 The Constitution isn't safe.

01:49:32.440 It's good.

01:49:33.460 Freedom isn't safe.

01:49:34.560 It's good.

01:49:35.020 Debate and disagreement and dissonance is not safe, but it's good.

01:49:39.520 You know, we're told in the Proverbs, as iron sharpens iron, let one man sharpen another.

01:49:45.320 Friction and sparks flying is a good thing.

01:49:48.180 That's what adults do.

01:49:49.700 We engage in debate and disagreement because we want to find what's true and right and just and real.

01:49:55.900 Children hunker down and say, I don't like what you said.

01:49:58.780 You hurt my feelings.

01:49:59.600 I'm going to take my ball and go home.

01:50:01.960 And isn't that a perfect description of our culture today?

01:50:04.500 Not just the college, but of Congress and our courts and even our corporations.

01:50:09.500 Look at the blackmail that's taking place right now because the corporate leaders don't like what's being done in Georgia.

01:50:16.400 They're going to take their ball and go home.

01:50:17.900 They're going to act like children.

01:50:19.620 My book, Grow Up, Life Isn't Safe, But It's Good, confronts this, but yet offers 20 chapters, lessons on how to function like an adult in a world that looks like a daycare more on a daily basis.

01:50:31.140 So how do we function?

01:50:32.700 Because honestly, I'm running out of answers.

01:50:35.840 The only answer that I know that is true is God.

01:50:40.080 If we don't turn back to God and the fundamental principles of the Judeo-Christian understanding of how life works, and we've rarely lived up to those things, but if we're not pursuing that, we're toast.

01:50:56.020 We're done.

01:50:56.960 We're done.

01:50:57.420 And that's the only real solution I can come up with.

01:51:01.560 I'm out.

01:51:02.280 I'm out.

01:51:03.340 Help me.

01:51:04.120 Please.

01:51:04.980 The reason you're out of other solutions is it is the solution.

01:51:09.420 The reason that the United States of America has been exceptional is because we were grounded in exceptional ideas, and those exceptional ideas were the truths that were given to us by our creator, those self-evident truths that are endowed to us.

01:51:25.220 Not the opinions and feelings that we came up with five minutes ago, but those time-tested truths that are endowed by God.

01:51:33.020 So maybe the solution is to start recognizing that the problem started in the classroom and at the pulpit, and frankly, even in helicopter parenting, and go back and correct the problem in the classroom at the pulpit and through parenting.

01:51:47.480 So if garbage in, garbage out has caused the problem, maybe we ought to go back and recognize that goodness in and goodness out that's grounded in the creator rather than in our own narcissism will actually bear some positive fruit.

01:52:02.280 Maybe teach natural law rather than narcissism.

01:52:05.240 Let's just start there.

01:52:06.060 Maybe let's teach some common sense rather than this nonsense.

01:52:10.660 Let's just start there.

01:52:12.100 Go back to the time-tested truths and recognize that those are the things, the only things, that have ever given us any measure of human liberty and dignity.

01:52:20.920 You know, I really, I like the fact that you said education in the pulpits because it's the teachers and preachers that have brought us here.

01:52:29.740 The preachers stopped talking about universal truths and how they actually apply to big things.

01:52:38.220 And, you know, they instead bought a smoke machine.

01:52:42.700 And then we have the teachers who many of them didn't even know what they were doing.

01:52:48.940 It was just the way things were going.

01:52:51.480 But a lot of people, especially in the universities, they knew exactly what they were doing.

01:52:55.460 And by them teaching wrong principles and the pulpits just sitting on their hands, either out of fear of losing funding or whatever it was, those two things have really done the vast majority of damage.

01:53:15.100 I agree.

01:53:16.140 I agree 100%.

01:53:17.200 And I have the right to disagree.

01:53:20.340 Well, excuse me, I have the right to agree with you and I have the right to disagree with my own and call them out.

01:53:25.460 I'm an evangelical, so I'm going to call out the evangelicals if they're wrong.

01:53:29.380 It's my obligation, my responsibility to do so.

01:53:31.880 And my entire career was the ivory tower, so I'm going to criticize it if it needs to be.

01:53:36.940 And if your goal as a preacher or a teacher is not the objective truths with a capital T that have been revealed to us over the course of time through Scripture and through natural law and through the empirical evidence before our very eyes,

01:53:52.040 if your goal is not to pursue that and teach that and preach that, then go get another job.

01:53:57.200 Because all you're doing is affirming someone's feelings and their brokenness.

01:54:02.100 And that's the antithesis of biblical love.

01:54:06.320 Tolerance is inferior.

01:54:08.060 Love is superior.

01:54:08.960 There is a lot of things that you could be doing.

01:54:12.560 There's a lot of books that you could be reading.

01:54:14.320 I highly recommend you read Everett Piper's books.

01:54:17.900 The latest is Grow Up by Dr. Everett Piper.

01:54:23.180 I also wanted to ask you, it's insanity that we're all saying, we've got to get these schools back open again.

01:54:32.660 No.

01:54:33.340 Are you seeing what they're teaching?

01:54:35.280 No, we should be saying, let's get our schools right before they open again.

01:54:40.620 And sending our kids to colleges, you know, they need an education, but not an indoctrination.

01:54:48.240 Are there any schools that you trust?

01:54:51.300 I don't know.

01:54:53.120 I'm not sure about Liberty University anymore.

01:54:55.940 I am sure that I wouldn't send my kids to BYU.

01:55:00.320 And I'm a Mormon.

01:55:01.300 I would never send them to BYU now.

01:55:03.400 Where can you send your kids where they're not going to be indoctrinated?

01:55:09.480 I need to make sure everybody understands.

01:55:11.660 I'm not getting paid to say this.

01:55:13.140 I have no connection with these institutions.

01:55:15.400 But in my experience, I've narrowed it down to three.

01:55:19.400 New St. Andrews is a small classical college in Moscow, Idaho.

01:55:26.800 They're confronting CRT.

01:55:28.320 Go ahead.

01:55:30.120 No, no, no.

01:55:30.760 I talked to the head of this, I don't know, about a year ago, wildly impressed.

01:55:35.540 So they're confronting CRT how?

01:55:38.960 Well, look, just go Google their commercials.

01:55:42.080 That answers the question.

01:55:43.440 They take it on.

01:55:44.180 They confront it.

01:55:45.380 They confront it in their advertising. 0.54

01:55:47.400 They call it the nonsense that it is.

01:55:49.220 So New St. Andrews is spot on.

01:55:53.180 College of the Ozarks, south of Branson, Missouri, is spot on.

01:55:58.200 Is this College of the Ozarks, is that the one where you have to work for the college or you can work to pay for it?

01:56:07.880 How does this college work?

01:56:09.320 I love this premise.

01:56:11.100 You have to.

01:56:12.380 You're required to work as a student.

01:56:15.300 And the nickname for the university is Hard Work You.

01:56:20.400 Very patriotic.

01:56:22.380 Very much teaching the exceptionalism of the Constitution and the American way of life.

01:56:30.980 Very much grounded in a Judeo-Christian ethic.

01:56:33.780 So three schools, New St. Andrews, College of the Ozarks, and Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan.

01:56:41.520 Hillsdale is kind of the Harvard of trustworthy schools, isn't it?

01:56:48.940 I mean, is it hard to get into Hillsdale?

01:56:52.980 Well, I don't know how to answer that.

01:56:55.640 My guess is probably yes, because they're a small school.

01:56:58.220 And their endowment is so huge right now because they've told the line.

01:57:01.780 Hillsdale had the courage back in the 60s to say, we're going to be conservative.

01:57:05.760 We're going to conserve the time-tested truths as the basis for education here.

01:57:10.740 And we're not going to be bribed by the federal dollar.

01:57:14.200 So they said, no, you can't use a Pell Grant to go here.

01:57:17.480 We'll go raise enough money to pay for the replacement of those dollars.

01:57:21.940 And today, some 50 years later or thereabout, Hillsdale stands strong as the only truly independent institution left in the country.

01:57:29.940 Wow. Hillsdale College, that's in Michigan, College of the Ozarks in Branson, Missouri, and New St. Andrews in Moscow, Idaho.

01:57:43.080 It is a sad state of affairs when you can name three that you say, I'm willing to put my name on.

01:57:50.500 Well, the reason I named those is because I've watched what they're doing in the midst of this cultural nonsense, this collapse, this perpetual childishness and narcissism that's being driven by identity politics.

01:58:06.120 And the most recent rendition of that CRT and all the things critical theory.

01:58:11.300 And it's all the same ball of wax.

01:58:12.720 It's all just selfishness, self-absorption, narcissism.

01:58:15.680 It's all me and mine, and I deserve my pound of flesh.

01:58:19.540 And if you don't give it to me, I'm going to cancel you.

01:58:22.180 You can't speak here.

01:58:23.400 You're verboten.

01:58:24.220 You're expelled.

01:58:25.000 It's all the same thing.

01:58:26.540 And that is acting like a child.

01:58:28.100 You're trying to do what the Apostle Paul told the Church of Ephesus, and that is speak the truth objectively, empirically, in love, and love's better than tolerance and affirmation, and grow up.

01:58:41.820 Dr. Everett Piper, the author of Grow Up.

01:58:45.560 Thank you so much for being with us.

01:58:47.060 We'll talk again.

01:58:48.080 Thanks, Everett.

01:58:48.760 Thanks, Glenn.

01:58:49.440 Bye-bye.

01:58:52.560 I want to talk to you about Goldline.

01:58:54.140 I don't know if you've been seeing what is happening with the money spending, but we are spending ourselves like there is no tomorrow, like money is free.

01:59:07.460 I'm reminded of the poem from Rudyard Kipling, The Gods of the Copybook Headings, where he says there was plenty of money.

01:59:16.480 We had plenty of money, but nothing our money could buy.

01:59:19.920 That talks about a collapse of currency.

01:59:23.120 I mean, they just keep printing and printing.

01:59:25.140 You'll have lots of money, but you're not going to be able to buy anything, and that's what's happening to our dollar.

01:59:31.040 Our dollar is losing value, and if you've always played by the rules, you are going to lose the value of everything that you have worked hard for.

01:59:40.920 If your money is stored in U.S. dollars over the next four years, you could lose 48 cents on every dollar just because the way it's being debased.

01:59:52.500 And that's today, let alone what they're going to be coming up with.

01:59:56.740 So I want you to call Goldline.

01:59:59.260 I want you to find out if gold or silver is right for you.

02:00:02.600 I want you to do your own homework.

02:00:04.520 Please, please put your financial house in order.

02:00:08.140 With every single order, if you place one this week, this week only, you're going to qualify for a free Mind Your Business silver bar at no cost.

02:00:17.500 The Mind Your Business, it's a stamp that I asked them to put on years ago because that's what our first coin said.

02:00:25.340 It didn't say, and God we trust.

02:00:26.700 It said, Mind Your Business.

02:00:28.480 What a great idea.

02:00:29.300 They're standing by to take your call right now and help you out and give you some information.

02:00:33.920 You don't have to make a decision today.

02:00:35.460 You shouldn't.

02:00:36.320 You should do your own homework and figure out what's right for you and your family.

02:00:39.720 Gold and silver have been right for my family for a long time.

02:00:43.240 Call 866-GOLDLINE, 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

02:00:48.260 Do it now.

02:00:50.980 The Glenn Beck Program.

02:00:57.080 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

02:00:58.700 I don't know what it is, but almost every time it seems that we have something going live on YouTube, there's a glitch of some sort that just mysteriously happens.

02:01:08.680 And it might be just the worst luck ever, but it happened again last night.

02:01:13.340 We have reposted the show from last night up on YouTube.

02:01:17.780 All you have to do is go to The Blaze at YouTube.

02:01:22.580 Go to YouTube.com slash The Blaze and look for last night's special.

02:01:29.000 The Wednesday night special and watch it there.

02:01:30.820 Or thank you if you're a subscriber.

02:01:32.660 You didn't have a problem last night on Blaze TV.

02:01:34.660 Yeah, same thing happened to my show, Studios America, last night.

02:01:37.480 And I was disappointed because I was on my Instagram page and there was, first of all, a comment.

02:01:45.560 I noted that you were on the show and then there was a gushing comment from one of my followers saying how they thought you were very smart, artistic, and yes, morbidly obese, but on him it's so sexy.

02:02:00.960 Oh, yeah.

02:02:03.300 And I mean, somehow it came from your account.

02:02:07.140 I don't know exactly how that.

02:02:08.720 Oh, gosh.

02:02:09.780 Did that happen last night?

02:02:11.120 I thought we had that.

02:02:11.840 This hot, hot, hot woman has just hijacked my Instagram account once in a while and she'll just go on and she'll just gush about how hot and sexy I am. 1.00

02:02:24.200 Yeah.

02:02:24.400 Even though I'm morbidly obese.

02:02:26.240 It's a real problem.

02:02:27.580 It's a real problem.

02:02:28.760 I was also shocked that you disclosed what was going on with you and KFC and potentially playing the next colonel.

02:02:36.840 I mean, it's right out there on the Instagram page for everyone to see.

02:02:40.200 I'm very concerned.

02:02:41.140 I don't think you were supposed to disclose that.

02:02:42.720 No, well, I'm in negotiations with Popeyes.

02:02:45.160 I'm a little upset at KFC's rejection.

02:02:47.880 And, you know, Popeyes has the best big biscuits, the best chicken sandwich out there.

02:02:53.800 And I'm just saying, I'm thinking about walking from KFC.

02:02:58.860 Are they aware you're in negotiations with them?

02:03:01.760 Well, let's not talk about all the details.

02:03:04.200 It's the Glenn Beck Program.
