Stu, why don't you talk a little bit about home title lock?
00:00:06.780
Can you imagine if a cyber criminal decided they were going to steal that equity and no one told you until it was way too late?
00:00:13.220
Well, that could mean all of those years of savings are gone.
00:00:18.120
The FBI calls home title fraud one of the fastest growing crimes in America, which is why you need to go to HomeTitleLock.com.
00:00:24.560
They're America's leader in home title protection.
00:00:27.040
The problem is your deed to your home is the only document that proves you own it, which is so weird.
00:00:31.860
Like, we need to solve this problem in a major way.
00:00:34.740
Luckily, HomeTitleLock is here to do just that for you.
00:00:37.320
In minutes, a competent criminal can forge your name on the deed to your home and then refile as the new owner.
00:00:43.160
And it sounds like something that, you know, from some terrible true crime documentary, but it happens to people all over the country.
00:00:50.040
It's one of the fastest growing crimes in America.
00:00:51.840
HomeTitleLock.com is the place to go to make sure you're not on the next true crime documentary on this topic.
00:01:47.780
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:58.800
At the price of a gallon of gas right now, I'm not gonna let this engine idle very long.
00:02:10.560
Derek just wrote in about his experience with Relief Factory.
00:02:13.480
He says, I can't begin to tell you enough and praise enough for your product
00:02:17.820
what it has done for me with regards to my severe lower back pain.
00:02:22.200
So, Glenn, I've been dealing with this pain for over five years now.
00:02:25.500
I tried Relief Factor, and to my amazement, it actually worked.
00:02:34.260
I know what really just agonizing pain is like, and you've probably tried everything else.
00:02:43.920
I know, didn't think so either, because ibuprofen never works for me.
00:02:49.100
But this has four different ways of attacking your inflammation.
00:02:55.540
This is four different ingredients, and for $19.95, you can try it for three weeks.
00:03:01.880
Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor.
00:03:11.480
Get the 1995 three-week quick start developed just for you.
00:03:24.380
Okay, I have hesitated on telling you what things are, what's actually going on down on the ground in Ukraine.
00:03:33.600
We didn't really talk about that last week, because I'm not sure who to believe.
00:03:38.440
I think our press is so skewed, and I know the Russians so skewed.
00:03:46.360
Well, we have Jason Buttrill with us, who has some sources on the ground in Ukraine.
00:03:52.680
Mainly because we've done so much work on Ukraine in the last couple of years, that we know some people, and he's got also some other contacts as well.
00:04:11.280
It was a very bad weekend for the Russian military, and it's been just a bad invasion period.
00:04:16.820
A lot of the reports that you hit on it is you can't trust a lot of the stuff you see from both sides.
00:04:25.980
But all evidence now is showing that Russia probably expected this to be a 72-hour time frame.
00:04:33.320
The initial troops that Russia sent in, they were paratroopers, which are basically glorified riot police.
00:04:42.000
Most of them were decimated on entering into the country.
00:04:44.960
I don't have actual casualty counts on either side because they're so wildly skewed on both sides.
00:04:53.060
Probably look at what each side is saying and then take a middle number, and that's probably what it was.
00:05:00.440
But a lot of the equipment that's getting either destroyed or captured, they also have riot equipment, like shields, batons, stuff like that.
00:05:09.200
So Russia clearly thought this was, hey, three days maximum, we'll go in, the population will capitulate or turn to us, and this will turn into more of an occupation without firing many shots.
00:05:25.740
That just caps off over the past week and a half.
00:05:28.540
Several aircraft, helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft have been shot down on the Russian side.
00:05:33.300
For the most part, their operations are stalling on the ground because they don't have the logistical capability at the moment to take care of anything.
00:05:44.640
Water, things like that are very scarce on the ground, which shows that they were just completely unprepared.
00:05:49.240
This is not a good invasion, which, you know, you might want to say, okay, that's a great thing.
00:05:56.040
But if you look at Russian strategy, if you look at Aleppo, the siege of Aleppo, if you look at the siege of Grozny during the second, you know, Chechen war, when these things stall, they move to severe bombing, indiscriminate bombing, cluster bombing.
00:06:14.040
They've been doing, we think, the cluster bombing in the cities already.
00:06:17.620
They were doing that last week, which you don't do.
00:06:21.120
That's, isn't that against the Geneva Convention?
00:06:23.640
Yes, but the Russians do it and they get away with it.
00:06:26.960
So now they, the news is this morning that they have circled all of these cities or a lot of the big cities in Ukraine.
00:06:35.960
That is what they do right before they just start just bombing the snot out of cities, isn't it?
00:06:43.220
And then, and they haven't really completed an encircling of many of these.
00:06:48.580
And a lot of people have reported and showing these large clusters of Ukraine that are under Russian control.
00:06:52.880
And that's not entirely the truth from what I'm seeing.
00:06:55.680
Russia has pushed further, pushed into Ukraine.
00:06:58.720
They're on major roadways, but they're not really occupying the surrounding territory.
00:07:04.040
For one of the reasons right now is it's very, very, this is, you know, rainy.
00:07:08.020
It's very, it's hard to move some of these vehicles across this land.
00:07:12.480
Again, it doesn't seem like they were prepared for that, the Russians.
00:07:15.820
So even the territory that they have, it's not exactly what I would call an occupation.
00:07:21.560
You know, it's like, they're not really occupying those areas.
00:07:23.800
We're seeing the Russians move now in force really and, and having to have some sort of offense and defense.
00:07:37.420
Most of them appear, they don't seem like professional soldiers to me.
00:07:40.580
I mean, what, what, I mean, what happened to the mighty Soviet army?
00:07:45.540
I mean, it almost seems like MacArthur was right.
00:07:47.400
If it's, if this is what, if this is the capability we should have just gone through and gotten, gotten this over with from the beginning right after World War II.
00:07:56.180
If you look at the United States, we've been fighting a war like this for over 20 years.
00:08:01.240
Combined arms, when you combine artillery, troops on the ground, you know, aircraft in the air, it's complicated.
00:08:07.120
The United States military is the best in the world at it.
00:08:09.980
So I don't know if they just expected, hey, we'll just adopt these tactics and go in and it'll be done.
00:08:14.620
But clearly, this is the evidence that they're not very capable at this kind of warfare.
00:08:20.120
What do you think that you put Putin into a corner?
00:08:27.280
What you're looking at is if you want to compare it to what it's going to look at, look at what they did in Aleppo, look at what they did.
00:08:36.120
Because, you know, they say, well, what about Syria?
00:08:39.080
Syria, it is nothing about race or anything else.
00:08:42.180
It is about the Middle East has always been on fire.
00:08:48.480
And you never know how to help or if it will help.
00:08:54.720
I mean, it's that's why America didn't look at Syria.
00:08:58.380
America barely looked at at the the Christians in the area.
00:09:04.300
You know, I mean, we just didn't do anything to help the Christians in the area.
00:09:15.580
This has been a stable, westernized country, completely corrupt, but a stable, westernized country.
00:09:26.640
And I don't think that the world will stand for him just shelling shit cities.
00:09:31.560
No, we were talking off air, Stu, you mentioned that, you know, where's the Russian Air Force been on this?
00:09:37.000
And I think a big reason why he hasn't probably bombed the heck out of some of these cities with his massive air force is because the world will not stand for this happening to, you know, a more western European country.
00:09:51.740
When he just unleashes like he did in Aleppo or Grozny, when cluster bombs are hitting Kiev, that's when the world is going to be like, OK, you've gone far enough.
00:10:00.420
The question then is, how far does the West get involved here, which gets scary?
00:10:05.460
Let me let me play cut to this over the weekend.
00:10:12.860
If, for instance, the Polish government, a NATO member wants to send fighter jets, does that get a green light from the U.S.?
00:10:20.260
Are you afraid that that will escalate tension?
00:10:26.420
In fact, we're talking with our Polish friends right now about what we might be able to do to backfill their needs if, in fact, they choose to provide these fighter jets to to the Ukrainians.
00:10:38.680
How can we help to make sure that they get something to backfill the planes that they're handing over to to the Ukrainians?
00:10:44.420
We're in very active discussions with them about that.
00:10:46.360
Look, I've been in Europe for the last couple of days working closely, as always, with our allies and partners at NATO, the European Union, the G7 countries.
00:10:55.880
And all of us together are continuing to take steps to increase the pressure on Russia through additional sanctions, all of which are very actively under discussion and will be implemented in the in the coming days,
00:11:08.580
as well as taking further steps to give the Ukrainians what they need to defend themselves against the Russian aggression.
00:11:15.660
OK, so this seems like a good thing. Explain how scary that is.
00:11:20.360
Well, NATO supplied fighter jets. That's kind of another level right there.
00:11:26.620
Coming from Poland, they are old. I think it was mid-29s that they're considering.
00:11:32.260
Remember in Top Gun and mid-28s. That was like that was in the 80s.
00:11:35.400
Yeah. So but yeah. So but this is still an escalation and it's got the earmarks of your typical Cold War, you know, battle, whether it's the U.S.
00:11:45.400
and Vietnam, the Chinese and the Soviets wouldn't get involved, but they would supply Russians to the Vietnamese.
00:11:50.940
Very similar. North Korea. Same thing. This is how and in Afghanistan went that one out, too.
00:11:57.660
But this is a major regression and it's got all the, you know, the the symptoms or the, you know, the same things that happened during the Cold War.
00:12:06.380
Now, the question now is, you know, like during Vietnam, we knew this was going on.
00:12:11.800
United States wasn't on the verge of collapse. How Russia can't sustain this. Right.
00:12:17.280
They cannot continue to let all these weapons go into Ukraine, embarrassing Putin, while at the same time, you know, an economic, you know, WMD is now being unleashed on Russia.
00:12:30.760
So he's going to have civil problems. These people are going to rise up.
00:12:35.560
We're not going to see that probably because tick tock, you know, all these Russian media outlets, Facebook, Twitter are now shut off in Russia, which is a tragedy.
00:12:45.520
Really. But we're not going to see how they're reacting, but they're not going to react well.
00:12:50.780
So Visa and MasterCard over the weekend said they're not going to process anything in Russia, which Russia immediately turned to China.
00:12:59.440
And they said, fine, we'll we'll use their, you know, Visa or MasterCard.
00:13:03.500
But this is targeting the civilians, which we've we've never, ever, ever, ever done before.
00:13:09.940
It was sanctions. We always say we are targeting the regime.
00:13:14.940
We're targeting the country. We don't target the individuals.
00:13:19.920
My understanding, too, is that the cards will work.
00:13:23.080
Russian issued visas will work inside of Russia so they can still buy basic supplies with these cards.
00:13:31.640
So it is it's remarkable to me that nobody is noticing the number of companies that are involved in this.
00:13:43.500
And everybody is saying this is great and screaming for, you know, the oil to be shut off from from Russia.
00:13:55.980
We don't have the oil if we want it to shut off.
00:14:00.440
We need to say open up our own oil and gas resources.
00:14:19.600
We are right now negotiating with Iran and Venezuela.
00:14:34.740
I know all of these people are like, oh, well, the planet's going to die.
00:14:39.900
I know the radicals, the real radicals believe that we should just we need to shut down more than we did at covid-19.
00:14:51.380
That's death for millions of people all around the world.
00:14:55.740
Literally, that will mean millions will die all around the world.
00:15:00.160
We cannot shut down all of our fossil fuels at this point.
00:15:05.620
I would understand if the president who disagrees with me came out and said, look, for the next nine months or however long this thing drags on, we are going to open our pipelines.
00:15:18.880
We are going to fund our, you know, the exons of the world.
00:15:24.180
We are going to start going back and taking the natural gas out and shipping it.
00:15:29.800
We're doing it because we have to or we'll kill the nation.
00:15:34.740
Now, I'm going back and I'm shutting it all off again in whenever, nine months, whatever it is.
00:15:41.860
People would understand that reasonable people.
00:15:44.400
The only people that wouldn't understand it are the Marxists that want to destroy us anyway.
00:16:03.860
Instead of taking care of business ourself, that should be the number one call.
00:16:09.200
I want the oil to stop from Russia, but I want the oil to be replaced with American oil and gas, period.
00:16:21.400
American financing, NMLS, one, eight, two, three, three, four, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
00:16:29.820
So I'm going to I'm going to give you the I'm going to give you the talk I gave my family yesterday.
00:16:36.160
Not the one I gave them a few days ago where they all freaked out and then they were all like, oh, we need to talk.
00:16:44.120
I'm going to I'm going to share some ideas with you on things that you can do and should do right now.
00:16:50.320
Let me tell you about American financing first.
00:16:54.700
It's time to understand what is coming your way and prepare your family for impact.
00:16:59.440
If you're not careful, inflation will erode your hard earned savings.
00:17:05.300
The gas pump, by the way, Stu, did you see the price of oil?
00:17:09.780
We've said that it was one hundred and forty seven dollars a barrel in 2008.
00:17:13.600
And that's what caused the collapse, sustained one forty seven.
00:17:24.120
Did you see the numbers where the inflation numbers that's not adjusted for inflation?
00:17:31.520
Yeah, because they're saying, well, it's four dollars a gallon now.
00:17:35.000
And so four dollars and eleven cents, it could break the record maybe this week.
00:17:38.640
However, you have to adjust that for inflation.
00:17:40.860
And if you adjust it for inflation, it's actually five twenty five a gallon from 2008,
00:17:45.100
which I think they mean to make you feel good about it.
00:17:48.040
Like, oh, we're not really that close to the all time record since 2008.
00:18:03.520
I mean, if you I mean, really, I guess it happened in 2008, not 2009, technically.
00:18:15.380
Well, anyway, inflation is going to kill you everything.
00:18:18.320
You just need to be saving as much money as you can pay the lowest amount you can get out
00:18:23.560
of those high interest credit cards, get a consolidation loan or a mortgage refi right now.
00:18:34.420
Call American Financing at eight hundred nine zero six twenty four forty eight hundred nine
00:18:54.020
Friday, I was concerned Saturday when I got up because Friday I was concerned because the
00:19:00.080
State Department said Americans should consider leaving Russia.
00:19:10.320
Well, however, Saturday they said the State Department said all Americans should immediately
00:19:22.000
That was kind of concerning because you don't just higgledy piggledy throw that one out.
00:19:32.160
And you don't you don't just say, hey, by the way, you should leave right now and upend
00:19:40.320
That's usually the last thing that happens before a country goes to war.
00:19:45.020
Then Saturday afternoon, they talked about reinstalling the red phone, the hotline.
00:19:54.100
Now, for those who didn't grow up in the in the time period I did, the hotline was there
00:20:01.360
on the president's desk and the desk of whoever was running things in Moscow.
00:20:11.080
So if something happens in the fog of war before you launch, you call and say, was that
00:20:21.980
Because I got my finger on the button right now.
00:20:27.900
That shooting down on that plane was a mistake.
00:20:34.380
It is the last line of defense before a nuclear missile launch.
00:20:40.580
It's a little terrifying to say, you know what?
00:20:54.300
So, Jason, do you see this getting worse, better?
00:21:05.300
Blinken said there's very little sign of any kind of negotiations.
00:21:09.720
So what so what does it get worse or better from here?
00:21:15.700
I don't see it's definitely going to get worse.
00:21:18.640
Putin cannot afford to look weak on the national stage or in his own country or abroad, especially
00:21:27.140
So he's going to push to get some kind of agreement where he's going to say, look, I won.
00:21:34.200
I think that he'll still try and say, before I commence bombardment of these cities and pull
00:21:42.520
And I think that he's already kind of hinted that he wants them to change their constitution,
00:21:46.040
which would probably say we will not join the EU.
00:21:48.560
We will not join NATO, which they don't belong in either, by the way.
00:21:52.200
But so Ukraine definitely could, you know, capitulate on that.
00:21:56.340
The areas where they might not capitulate on is recognizing Crimea and eastern Ukraine
00:22:04.700
You think he's going to stop with that, though?
00:22:06.880
I mean, with this attack, that's where I thought he was going initially.
00:22:10.380
But you think he'd fall back to that position at this point?
00:22:13.240
I think that I think that he'll have no choice.
00:22:15.700
Eventually, he can't occupy Ukraine, doesn't have the forces and his troops don't have the
00:22:27.120
Many of them didn't even know what they were doing.
00:22:45.560
Been telling you about Rough Greens for a while now.
00:23:01.200
Anyway, I've been telling you about but tell you about Rough Greens for my dog.
00:23:14.020
He would eat the cheese and eat around the food.
00:23:16.820
I was afraid that would happen with Rough Greens.
00:23:27.620
It's got probiotics because they sterilize everything.
00:23:42.320
Just see if your dog will love it as much as Uno does.
00:23:44.380
The Great Reset, the new book from Glenn Beck, is in bookstores now.
00:23:58.740
Go to glennsnewbook.com for the first chapter free.
00:24:25.200
And you'd think, you running a company with cost of inflation.
00:24:35.320
You haven't seen any impact on your cookie company.
00:24:50.160
So, you know, I just went and I bought lots of things, you know, and it was fun.
00:25:00.180
The guys who are checking out, Tanya and I, and all of the people in the line behind us
00:25:06.100
were having a guessing game on how much is that going to cost because we got butter and
00:25:12.480
meat, lots of butter and meat and, uh, and, uh, and just butter and meat.
00:25:19.000
We got a bunch of other things, but that was like, I mean, how do you, that's like gold.
00:25:23.760
I mean, picking up the meat, I'm like, honey, I, I mean, I'm starting to like vegetarianism.
00:25:31.840
You know, she, we were at the cash register and it was like, is that a bug we could eat?
00:25:36.520
Let's look at that bug over there on the floor.
00:25:38.500
Uh, it is just, it's insane what you think and the, the average person now, so I can't
00:25:47.940
The person who makes a hundred thousand dollars a year, the average $100,000 a year earner
00:25:58.640
Since seeing that's double what the average person and household makes, ah, you got some
00:26:07.780
You, it, it might surprise you to know that butter goes into some of the cookies that we
00:26:16.460
So yeah, the prices have gone through the roof.
00:26:20.740
And, you know, everything I've been thinking about, uh, you know, all of everybody that works
00:26:29.180
here, uh, and thinking, you know, everybody is under stress.
00:26:33.440
So how do you give everybody a raise for inflation?
00:26:36.380
Well, then you'd have to raise the price of the blaze subscription and that hurts people.
00:26:42.640
I mean, it's just, it's, it's the inflation spiral.
00:26:47.000
And the good news is we do have some friends around the world that will help us out, right?
00:26:56.580
Because we're trying to get rid of the, we're trying to ban the Russian oil.
00:27:00.340
But it's got to be replaced by something somewhere, right?
00:27:03.320
And we're not going to, we, for some reason we can't, we can't drill our own oil.
00:27:13.680
And so we're turning to good, close, personal friends like Iran.
00:27:20.520
According to one of the, the, uh, lead negotiator for the Iranians, he had, uh, he had good things
00:27:30.440
Iranian colleagues are fighting for Iranian nuclear.
00:27:51.560
Do you think that this could be a good deal for Iran?
00:27:54.220
Because there have been different arguments inside that.
00:28:15.500
That they got much more than they could expect from the United States.
00:28:42.540
And then today Biden is thinking about sending some people to fly out to Saudi Arabia.
00:29:01.620
We have cleaner oil than the rest of the world.
00:29:09.440
You have to call your congressman and your senator.
00:29:11.880
stop this nonsense of telling them to shut down the Russian oil.
00:29:30.480
We're not going to Iran and to Venezuela and to Saudi Arabia.
00:29:37.840
Well, we know, we know, we know it's run by Marxists who don't have, don't have America's
00:29:47.860
By the way, did you hear about Brittany, Brittany Griner?
00:29:55.320
Now, do you believe, do you know anything about her?
00:30:05.700
She was at the airport coming out and they playing in a Russian league, by the way, wondering
00:30:19.040
She was coming out over the weekend when the State Department said every American should leave
00:30:27.600
She had, I think, already gone through security and then she was stopped.
00:30:34.360
They go through one of her purses or luggage and they found a vape.
00:30:49.160
Certainly it wouldn't matter if it did or not from the Russians.
00:30:54.080
And she could be now in a Russian prison for 10 years.
00:31:03.660
And I hope this doesn't turn into a I hope she's not spending 10 years in a I mean, unless
00:31:13.700
I mean, I guess you just you got to obey the law.
00:31:21.540
But I but I also I just like to point out she was one that would not walk out onto the
00:31:27.780
court for a year if the national anthem was being played.
00:31:32.100
And I'm bet I'm betting she would stand up for the national anthem at this point.
00:31:38.660
Looking for anyone with a flag on their arm or their lapel to come in and help her.
00:31:49.320
Why don't you try somebody else's justice system, justice system and see how that works.
00:31:58.180
I'm just let's not take for granted what we do have still here in America.
00:32:07.100
I mean, it used to be that the American passport was a golden ticket.
00:32:11.720
Nobody was stopping an American citizen because we had, you know, we had some power and some
00:32:20.320
clout in the world and you didn't mess with Americans.
00:32:24.000
Americans now it doesn't matter because we're a clown show.
00:32:27.400
We're not a clown country, but we're a clown show.
00:32:35.840
And they're taking advantage of us because of that.
00:32:43.780
The clowns are trying to convince us that we all should.
00:32:46.160
We all have been wearing clown shoes and have clown noses.
00:32:49.940
And we're like, I mean, does anybody else feel like it is the emperor's new clothes?
00:32:54.160
Where we're all sitting here going, no, that's not right.
00:33:01.660
And everybody stands around going, oh, look at what they're doing.
00:33:07.240
It's amazing because, you know, the Ukrainians, God bless them, are sitting there saying, hey,
00:33:17.140
We're going to make things much worse with this group of people trying to fix the situation.
00:33:21.080
All we're going to do is screw up your life more.
00:33:24.240
Like, if Ronald Reagan was president, I have some understanding and faith that maybe we
00:33:29.940
would be able to navigate almost impossible waters with Joe Biden as president?
00:33:35.060
I mean, we might as well completely just give up.
00:33:39.820
You know, I mean, he is, the incompetence on every single aspect of foreign policy since
00:33:49.540
I mean, your book, The Great Reset, goes into why a lot of this stuff is going on, that maybe
00:34:04.480
You don't know any odds makers that we could call and say, let's just look at the policies
00:34:12.060
Give me the odds that they're this wrong, this stupid, that every single thing turns against
00:34:25.520
We've said many times on the air, what would you do differently if you were trying to destroy
00:34:54.800
True love of country and those who serve it, as well as a deep commitment.
00:35:00.140
It means thoughts and prayers because those are real, have real power.
00:35:04.900
But it also means reaching out with a helping hand when those who served can't reach out
00:35:11.600
Since 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been supporting America's heroes and their
00:35:16.860
When a first responder or military service member doesn't come home and young children
00:35:21.780
are left behind, Tunnel to Towers pays off the mortgage to lift the financial burden off
00:35:27.740
For catastrophically injured veterans and first responders, Tunnel to Towers builds mortgage-free
00:35:33.240
smart homes, enabling severely injured heroes to live more independent lives.
00:35:38.500
And now, through Operation Home Base, Tunnel to Towers is gifting tiny homes to homeless
00:35:50.300
Our nation's heroes, people who put their lives on the line for our country and our communities,
00:35:55.980
Help these heroes and their families do something good.
00:35:59.320
Join Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good in their honor.
00:36:35.360
I know that tomorrow is the caucus and every pro-life, real conservative person needs to
00:36:54.660
Well, I mean, the Lincoln Project kind of left-righties.
00:37:02.080
And I don't think Mike would want his endorsement anyway.
00:37:07.160
The thing about Mike is he's, he's being, um, uh, called a radical, a radical, Mike Lee.
00:37:21.140
If it's radical to support and know and defend the constitution, then yeah, he's a, he's a
00:37:26.700
radical, he is a radical, but that's, that's it.
00:37:32.160
And man, are they doing everything, everything.
00:37:35.440
He's running in this caucus against a Republican who voted, or I can't say I know that they
00:37:41.040
I know they worked hard, uh, uh, against the, um, down syndrome abortion bill.
00:37:47.600
You're a Republican and you worked against the bill to stop aborting down syndrome babies.
00:37:58.460
Uh, and the, the governor, Republican governor is the one that is, is now saying they're going
00:38:04.960
to veto the, um, the protection of women in, in, uh, girls in women's sports.
00:38:31.820
Cause I'm not that familiar with Iowa's or Utah's caucus system.
00:38:44.740
So I'm looking at trying, this is a timeline from a few years ago.
00:38:55.040
I want to be able to look Republicans in the eye and go, really?
00:39:01.180
Glenn, just, I, we should just put your eyeballs on two giant screens and every room where they're
00:39:05.200
I'm just going to stand in front and just go, really?
00:39:12.460
If someone from Utah knows more, they can call in.
00:39:14.560
But it looks like the March is the precinct officers, county delegates, and state delegates
00:39:27.840
Oh, that was where that one's risky that where you can, where those people you elected
00:39:32.560
So getting the right people elected as the delegates is important because those are the
00:39:38.060
Anyone, anyone, anyone who is for Mike Lee, get your ass to the, to the caucus.
00:39:51.320
If you're going to use the A word, you're going to use that language.
00:39:57.300
There is a, Utah is in one of those States that is, uh, has been targeted by the mealy.
00:40:04.720
It's why you have the NSA listening compound just outside of the city and everybody knows
00:40:17.680
I don't want, you know, when it comes to the constitution of the United States, I think
00:40:23.820
And that doesn't mean with arms or with, you know, anger or anything else.
00:40:27.960
It's just time to stand up and go, no, sure is.
00:40:31.900
Do you see the, the person on the view was the other day that was talking about how the
00:40:40.860
And all the ladies seem to disagree, but nobody really stood up for the U S constitution.
00:40:46.660
Uh, it's time to stand up for the U S constitution.
00:40:58.880
So he's not going to lose in a, in this stupid convention.
00:41:03.200
Just, I don't know what you're doing in that state and I shouldn't have any control of that
00:41:07.120
state, but I'm thinking about moving to that state just so I can fix your stupid election
00:41:17.620
Hey, I want to talk to you about good ranchers.
00:41:19.720
Um, you know, that there is a problem with meat right now.
00:41:23.720
If you've bought meat, uh, I am really thrilled to bring good ranchers on with us.
00:41:29.400
Now, um, good ranchers is a, is a subscription where you can get meat and it's American meat.
00:41:37.540
There are a lot of these things that are out there, but this one is the only one that I
00:41:41.320
would endorse because it is American meat and it is helping the ranchers and the farmers
00:41:52.540

Go to good ranchers.com slash Glenn, good ranchers.com slash Glenn.
00:42:52.800
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:17.200
Well, hello America and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
00:43:25.500
We're going to give you an update on what is coming your way at the grocery store.
00:43:29.580
What is coming your way and, and how to prepare for it?
00:43:44.380
It looks like Russia has claimed a limited ceasefire in key cities.
00:43:49.740
Now they did this this weekend and then they broke that ceasefire.
00:44:03.020
The weather is starting to warm up last, last week, this week, this weekend.
00:44:10.940
It was just, I thought it was brutal with the, with the humidity this week.
00:44:15.720
It was like 80 degrees and I don't know, a thousand percent humidity.
00:44:18.940
I'm welcoming the fall away from this ridiculous.
00:44:25.240
I dressed today in light clothes because I thought it was going to be hot.
00:44:36.760
Weather's warming up means you're going to start opening up your house, start sprucing the
00:44:43.560
Maybe you got away with ignoring over the past several months.
00:44:46.640

Go to blinds.com, get up to 35% off site wide going on right now.
00:45:24.220
So let me just, let me just go over a couple of things.
00:45:30.420
MetLife and the Chamber of Commerce has a small business index survey and they conducted it in
00:45:38.040
late January and they found that 85% of small business owners say they're concerned about the
00:45:44.020
effects of inflation on their business up from 74% just before the holiday.
00:45:50.220
Almost half of small business owners, 44% say they are very concerned about their higher prices.
00:45:58.040
I think things are probably a little worse right now.
00:46:04.160
It's one of those things, you know, I, I read, um, the, uh, diary of a guy in Germany.
00:46:14.460
Um, and during the Weimar Republic, when inflation hit and then hyperinflation, he said last week,
00:46:21.560
we didn't know what the word hyperinflation even meant this week.
00:46:37.160
Anyway, um, 76% said they are finding it difficult to manage higher costs because of inflation.
00:46:44.120
Consumer prices rose 7.5 in 12 months and ending January fastest pace of inflation in four
00:46:52.240
Um, inflation is, uh, not only grown to soaring highs, but is also increased at a rapid pace
00:46:58.840
less than a year ago when the chamber of commerce, uh, conducted the same survey, only 16% of small
00:47:05.500
business owners cited inflation as a big concern.
00:47:15.720
41% of owners said they had to downsize by decreasing staff in order to cope.
00:47:20.260
More than a quarter of the small business owners surveyed said the supply chain problems are their
00:47:25.620
While slightly fewer, 24% pointed to COVID-19 as their top trepidation.
00:47:31.460
Both of these were dwarfed by the 33% who said inflation was the biggest concern.
00:47:35.380
Majority of small businesses, 63% said that the supply chain had been disrupted by the
00:47:41.220
The problem is, I mean, I have a, I have a trucker in the family and, uh, the problem
00:47:47.200
is they can't afford to move the good, the goods.
00:47:50.700
They're not really getting any money, uh, an increase for the gas that really is handling
00:47:58.380
So these truckers, I mean, how are they going to, you think the supply chain is bad now?
00:48:04.540
How are these truckers going to be able to do something if they can't afford the gas?
00:48:24.520
What are those really big barrel things around the, you know, the exhaust pipes?
00:48:29.260
Are those mufflers, you know, on each side of the door?
00:48:35.960
I drove by one and I was like, you know, I don't even know what those are.
00:48:39.660
Anyway, uh, how much does it cost to fill a truck?
00:48:53.400
Everything, I mean, it's in every single product, obviously, that you utilize on a daily basis.
00:49:01.080
You know, think about the people who get around in Uber all the time.
00:49:03.680
They're obviously going to have to jack these prices up.
00:49:09.720
I mean, think of, you know, think of any medication that you take that is in a capsule, okay?
00:49:25.200
Everything, you know, people are not thinking about the natural gas.
00:49:30.440
Oh, you know, we're just going to shut down the natural gas pipelines.
00:49:41.660
So, natural gas, having a shortage of natural gas means you're not having the fertilizer that you always have.
00:49:50.440
You can't make the fertilizer in the amounts that we need.
00:49:54.740
So, we're buying most of it already from Russia and China.
00:50:00.380
How much is it going to cost to get things from China if oil is $185 a barrel?
00:50:11.940
Right now, in California, they are paying $6.95 for regular.
00:50:24.160
How is that going to impact the people of California?
00:50:30.700
I mean, the people of California, I mean, you guys got to get out of there.
00:50:35.680
You know, they're just past this thing where you can't build any more single family housing.
00:50:43.480
And they're rezoning things so you can have multifamily housing in these areas that were zoned forever for single family housing.
00:50:53.980
You know, when you think about the zoning, you know, you might want to think, hmm, if there are four people to a house or four families to a house instead of one family to a house, how many cars have to be parked on the street?
00:51:10.080
How many cars are now going to be on that small little street, just driving?
00:51:17.360
Gee, are the schools prepared for four times as many children?
00:51:26.360
Because there'll probably be one now with four times as many people living in this area.
00:51:32.020
Nobody is thinking about you can't make one small change and expect everything to fall into place.
00:51:45.720
And these Marxists are coming in here thinking, oh, well, we can just, it is, honestly, it is, let's ban Russian oil.
00:51:56.000
If we open up our oil and not our oil reserve, not our strategic oil reserve, start pumping it.
00:52:05.680
Open up your pipeline, start pumping the natural gas again.
00:52:14.420
Guys, if we don't have natural gas, we don't have fertilizer.
00:52:18.120
If we don't have fertilizer, we get half the food that we need just to fill our own tables with food.
00:52:25.620
Anyway, you know, the Fed keeps saying, oh, no, no, no.
00:52:36.180
I mean, the median, the savings, people have more in their savings now than ever before.
00:52:44.160
Do you know people who are like, oh, I got so much in savings, I don't, I really care.
00:52:59.660
If you look at the total, do Americans, do just Americans have more in their savings again?
00:53:08.480
You mean like everyone in the country combined?
00:53:14.880
But if you look at the median, no, no, not so true.
00:53:40.120
If you're in the middle 20%, you might be able to scrape up median, all households, $12,330.
00:53:59.400
Do you have that in a bank account when you were a median income person?
00:54:08.880
Good beginning to certainly an emergency plan, right?
00:54:26.240
So, anybody, if you are living in the bottom 50%, you got nothing.
00:54:37.360
Top 50%, you got something at the bottom of the top 50.
00:54:46.520
Is this just cash on hand, or is this, you know, this doesn't count like equity in your home,
00:54:55.400
Reserve courts, medium income, averages and mediums in the group, shows smaller tier averages.
00:55:08.840
This is my job to look into these things, and I'll have to do that.
00:55:14.540
But that's a fascinating thing, because, you know, this is, of course, this type of stuff
00:55:18.940
that they bring up all the time on the left, and they say this is income inequality.
00:55:22.860
If we just had more equal incomes and higher tax rates, all these problems would be solved.
00:55:28.380
Now, that doesn't make any sense when you actually break the numbers down, but this
00:55:33.640
The thing with the maximum amount of savings that I keep hearing is the government flooded
00:55:40.140
the market with so much money that many people who worked at businesses were able to, you know,
00:55:50.700
in a time that was scary, they were able to put some of this money away and didn't take
00:55:54.440
trips, didn't take vacations, didn't buy high-ticket items for a while, and now that things
00:55:58.800
are opening up, they're flooding the market for these high-ticket items that were not being
00:56:05.500
And so now, as you always say, too many dollars chasing too few goods, and we're getting to
00:56:10.640
that point where that inflation is hitting really hard.
00:56:13.040
At some point in the near future, of course, Glenn, because this is transitory, they are
00:56:17.700
going to be able to ramp up production and meet that demand, and these problems are supposedly
00:56:24.400
Look at the energy prices, look at what's going on with Ukraine and Russia, and how that's
00:56:33.020
God forbid, too, that China gets involved in Taiwan, and if the same sorts of restrictions,
00:56:37.800
when we really cannot afford to put those restrictions on China, it would ruin the global economy, not
00:56:49.800
Let's just say they decide to take a hard line because they are now blaming us for Ukraine.
00:56:58.800
And in some regards, you might say we didn't, but the Biden administration did, and the Biden
00:57:05.460
administration, or Biden family, along with the Obama administration, probably played a role
00:57:12.120
in this, however, it's Russia that invaded, not the United States, but China is now blaming
00:57:20.080
us, and they are blaming us internally, not just externally, internally.
00:57:27.100
They're saying all of this is going on because of the United States.
00:57:37.760
If we've decided not to open up oil here, instead, we said Venezuela, who is, by the way,
00:57:47.400
a in-bed partner with Russia, and Iran, who, by the way, is a partner with Russia and China.
00:57:58.280
What happens when we're asking all these countries to help us, and they decide, you know what?
00:58:12.240
Think of Russia right now, who we are on television saying, yeah, Poland can give jets to Ukraine
00:58:21.160
to go and, you know, do all sorts of things in Ukraine to protect them, which, of course,
00:58:33.180
So essentially, we're the ones giving these jets to Ukraine.
00:58:38.900
We are saying, we are, there's, you know, published reports all over the place of all
00:58:44.040
of these, you know, missiles and air defense units and all the things we, stingers and javelins
00:58:53.820
Think about what would happen if Russia was doing the same when we were going into Iraq.
00:59:00.340
We, if they were saying, yeah, by the way, we are sending these weapons.
00:59:05.200
And those are the things killing your soldiers.
00:59:10.940
And at some point, Russia, especially if they get a really strong resistance for a long period
00:59:17.960
of time in Ukraine, is going to take action against us, whether it's through cyber attacks
00:59:24.660
or through some other form of economic manipulation.
00:59:29.400
I don't think they're going to start launching missiles at our cities, at least not yet.
00:59:33.280
But there are plenty of things they can do and have given us a taste of it already that
00:59:39.720
they can do kind of under the table without their hands on it and affect our lives in real
00:59:45.860
Do you think we're ready for a legitimate cyber attack from Russia?
00:59:49.700
Do you think we are prepared for that in any way?
00:59:53.000
How confident are you in our defenses on that and our resilience to that?
01:00:01.480
I don't think America, I mean, you know, I was trying to explain war to the kids, made
01:00:09.280
them cry all weekend, but tried to explain war to the kids.
01:00:15.920
This is not like the war that all of us have known.
01:00:28.560
And I mean, I remember Vietnam and I remember it ending.
01:00:34.780
What is what is what is possible on the horizon here is World War II depression kind of stuff.
01:00:46.260
So please tell your congressmen and your senators, hey, shut up about shutting down the Russian oil unless it is coupled with opening up our own energy supplies.
01:01:01.800
I'm all for cutting off Russian oil, but not if we are taking it from our strategic oil reserves and then whining and dining Iran, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.
01:01:17.420
Call your congressman and your senator and tell them to start demanding we open up our own oil supplies back in just a second.
01:01:28.320
If the thing is worth doing, it's worth doing right.
01:01:33.880
It applies nowhere so strongly as it does to the raising of our children.
01:01:38.360
It is our duty given to us by God to raise our children the best way that we can.
01:01:43.660
And we've always kind of had this feeling, at least in my generation, that all the schools are, you know, they're going to give them.
01:01:53.860
It means teaching them the difference between right and wrong, bringing them up to understand the place where they live.
01:01:59.000
And in the case of America, it means getting them to understand that you and I are passing along the baton of freedom to them.
01:02:07.040
America has been the greatest shining light of freedom to the world that anybody has ever seen.
01:02:17.600
Get the kids started the right way by reading the Tuttle Twins books.
01:02:22.260
They teach about American history, liberty, free markets, and so much more.
01:02:33.760
The special bonuses that are available just this week, including 12 activity workbooks for free.
01:03:05.720
I had listened to your discussion on the caucus system in Utah.
01:03:11.000
I participated for about 10 years or so in there on various levels.
01:03:16.520
What happens, it's based off what the founders did in the early 18th century, a caucus system
01:03:25.660
They got together in a political discussion in a secret place, and they had discussions,
01:03:34.980
As the neighbors get together, they choose their state delegates and their county delegates
01:03:41.680
that would then go to the state and county conventions.
01:03:44.700
They would choose their precinct leaders and the leadership for their communities, and then
01:03:48.660
those delegates would go back and interview the candidates.
01:03:52.260
I've got to cut you off because I have a network break, but it happens tomorrow.
01:04:02.620
You know, the problem is with some of these good guys like Mike Lee, everyone just assumes,
01:04:17.900
She wrote in about her experience with relief factor.
01:04:20.000
She says, it's great stuff, been using it for over a year.
01:04:34.660
Now she can go herd the sheep or whatever Heidi does in the mountains.
01:04:40.580
If you're dealing with pain, please give relief factor a try.
01:04:44.660
It was developed by doctors, and it has four key ingredients
01:04:47.700
that attack inflammation in our body four different directions.
01:04:55.240
All you have to lose is your pain, and you get your life back if it works.
01:05:01.760
Seventy percent of the people who try it go on to order more.
01:05:44.540
Let's go to Ramsey, who's here in Texas, your truck driver.
01:05:52.540
I own a couple trucks, and you were asking how much it costs to fill up a tank.
01:05:58.240
On my truck, I run two 125-gallon tanks, so 250 gallons.
01:06:03.520
To fill this truck up, it costs me right now $975.
01:06:08.640
If I have a few friends that run a little bigger tank,
01:06:15.940
This week, my family owns and operates a sawmill,
01:06:20.860
But we have a lot of equipment that we have to fuel up,
01:06:23.800
and so we have a pretty good relationship with a local fuel dealer.
01:06:26.920
And they're telling us that this week there will be a 30-cent hike,
01:06:32.580
And I'm already looking at increasing my trucking costs
01:06:37.960
Okay, so are you able to get all of that money back when you're shipping loads?
01:06:52.940
And that's the issue, is that once your trucking passes that on to whoever is shipping it to,
01:06:58.440
well, that's eventually going to hurt me because I'm buying groceries.
01:07:02.060
So all of that stuff is shipped through trucks,
01:07:04.640
and that's what really causes real increases in grocery prices.
01:07:08.980
I was talking to a guy on RFDTV the other day talking about fertilizer.
01:07:15.660
And he was saying that they were actually considering not planting some of their fields
01:07:22.500
Well, what do you think that's going to do to produce at the grocery store?
01:07:27.080
You're not going to have to worry about whether or not it's high in price.
01:08:01.660
But, you know, the cost of tires and everything, it's just so expensive right now.
01:08:06.760
It's just almost not worth even having a truck anymore.
01:08:20.980
It's up 55 cents a gallon in a week at $4.90 a gallon.
01:08:44.500
This is why things are going to continue to go up.
01:08:48.940
You have to remember that oil, that, you know, we can go.
01:09:00.960
from fertilizer to bug spray to the capsules that you eat to plastic to to the stuff that you wrap your meat in,
01:09:11.980
let alone the stuff that keeps the bugs and the and the soil in a in a condition where you could grow the food to feed the cows
01:09:23.000
and then move that food with a truck to where the cows are, then move the cows to where they can be butchered, then wrapped in little plastic and styrofoam also from petroleum products
01:09:38.900
and sent again by a truck to your grocery store where you drive in a car with gas to get to the grocery store and back.
01:09:52.420
It's a miracle that this system has worked, but it is.
01:09:56.380
It has been put together quite brilliantly, and it is an economy that lasts and works around the price of a hundred dollars to one hundred and twenty dollars a barrel.
01:10:09.740
Anywhere from ninety to a hundred and ten or twenty with inflation, that's that's where our economy is supposed to be.
01:10:18.980
That's the whole thing is designed around that.
01:10:21.820
Once you get past that, everything starts to fall apart.
01:10:39.260
They did it because Putin has a new criminal code out.
01:10:46.020
They've stopped broadcasting because they're evaluating his criminal code.
01:10:52.100
He just signed a law that effectively criminalizes any public opposition or independent news reporting about the war against Ukraine.
01:11:01.240
It will imprison journalists for up to 15 years for spreading fake news about the Russian military.
01:11:10.600
The new law set to take effect this last Saturday requires journalists to verify their reports on the war with a Russian official taking effect.
01:11:22.000
But it will make it a crime to simply call the war a war, according to the New York Times.
01:11:31.860
They should be able to they should be able to decide what's fake news and what's not.
01:11:36.480
How dare the government tell them what's fake news?
01:11:40.520
And then the government gets their their goon squad to silence all those who disagree with that.
01:11:54.000
They actually have a government that will put you in prison here.
01:12:02.660
You're in a you're in a virtual prison, which is really nice.
01:12:06.680
You can't do anything either, which is really, really nice because of your fake news, even though it seemed like fake news about those truckers.
01:12:17.340
Anyway, let's just talk about thank God we have those Canadian truckers behind those virtual bars where they belong.
01:12:25.040
There's just no reason to go down the road where you start to look more and more like Russia.
01:12:28.980
And I mean, obviously, what Russia has done is an incredible escalation to this.
01:12:47.340
We can just we've come to a moment that, quite frankly, we've seen coming over the past years.
01:12:57.200
We've talked about it in in in the news, not just about Ukraine, but about democracies around the world that we see a bit of a slippage in our democracies.
01:13:09.300
Countries turning towards slightly more authoritarian leaders.
01:13:15.060
Countries allowing increasing misinformation and disinformation to be shared on social media, turning people against allowing the values and the principles of democracy.
01:13:27.980
We see a slippage of our democracies and we see it when these these democracies allow people online to disagree with the government line.
01:13:45.320
You might you might want to examine yourself here, Justin.
01:13:51.740
That whole definition of how it's slipping might tell you a little something about which side you're actually on.
01:13:59.180
I do not think it means what you think it means.
01:14:01.460
Elon Musk said some governments have asked SpaceX to block Russian state media on its Starlink Internet satellites, but said we will not do so unless at gunpoint.
01:14:14.960
Now, here's a guy that has created all kinds of jobs, is reinventing the entire market, is is is is doing the electric cars because he believes in global warming.
01:14:28.960
OK, but you don't hear there's no one on the left supporting Elon Musk's no one.
01:14:45.480
Building spaceships to plan to escape the Earth because he believes global warming is so dangerous.
01:14:52.560
And yet they you go off that reservation for one second, man.
01:14:58.020
He says one he wants to open up one of his factories to build the electric cars to save the planet from what you keep saying is the most the existential threat that we all have to fight against.
01:15:11.380
And he wants to open up his factory during covid.
01:15:15.980
Well, they also won't talk to him because of things like this.
01:15:21.080
Hopefully it's now extremely obvious that Europe should restart dormant nuclear power stations and increase power output of existing ones.
01:15:30.300
This is critical to national and international security.
01:15:35.200
Also, nuclear is vastly better for global warming than burning hydrocarbons for energy.
01:15:41.600
For those who mistakenly think this is a radiation risk, pitch pick what you think is the worst location.
01:15:48.760
I will travel there and eat locally grown food on TV.
01:15:53.640
I did this in Japan many years ago, shortly after Fukushima.
01:15:57.940
Radiation risk is much, much, much lower than most people believe.
01:16:08.140
Did you hear that that they bombed the they bombed the the nuclear power plant?
01:16:26.300
Here's what I think you should be saying instead.
01:16:29.600
Did you notice that Russia now has control of the largest nuclear power plant and now can turn down the power?
01:16:36.900
But that shouldn't be a problem because that's what the EU is doing anyway to all the nuclear power plants, wasn't it?
01:16:42.980
Just taking them offline or turning that power down?
01:16:46.460
Have you noticed that there's a there's a problem at the gas pump?
01:16:53.980
Just so you're going to be paying, you know, probably eight dollars a gallon for gas right now.
01:16:59.540
And and you're worried about the the radiation leak.
01:17:06.700
You you you might want to you might want to think things through again, maybe reorder some of your priorities.
01:17:18.580
So if you decided to take the plunge yet, you're going to sell your home, move to another one.
01:17:31.860
May I recommend if you are moving, you move to a place where there are lots of farmers.
01:17:50.600
If it's a good market where you live now, how are you going to sell your house?
01:17:54.100
If you live in a bad place, how are you going to sell your house?
01:17:59.040
You need the best real estate agent you can find a really good one.
01:18:03.680
He or she is going to help you figure everything out from the selling end to the buying end.
01:18:12.260
Hey, did you hear who one of the big, biggest buyers of banks?
01:18:20.900
Why are banks buying all these houses and paying so much more over price?
01:18:51.520
Find the right real estate agent and buy and sell your home with comfort.

01:19:05.760
Welcome to the, uh, welcome to the glennbeck program.
01:19:29.900
What'd you, uh, what'd you do over the weekend?
01:19:31.980
My, uh, my house was interesting, but what happened to your house?
01:19:35.500
Well, with all the craziness in the world, sometimes you're thankful.
01:19:39.500
I, uh, this was the beginning of my son's baseball season this weekend.
01:19:43.480
So I got to sit at a baseball field and watch him play.
01:19:55.320
Not at all, not one that's keeping his stats on a new app I downloaded to record all of
01:20:05.920
Um, so, but it's interesting to see that, uh, you take, like, there are times, obviously
01:20:11.960
you're doing all the travel, you're, you're at games all day, you're driving them all
01:20:18.100
And you realize how silly that is, I think, in times like this.
01:20:23.540
There's that thought of, uh, I heard a guy talking about this at one point where he's
01:20:27.240
saying, like, if you go to the end of your life and you're sitting there at the end of
01:20:30.820
your life and you want to take a time machine to go back at any point, you might very well
01:20:40.880
Where you're snuggling with your kid, where you're playing baseball with your kid.
01:20:46.120
And it's, if you're, if you're annoyed at it now, try to put that in perspective.
01:20:51.520
At the end of your life, it's very likely you'll pick that type of moment if you had
01:20:56.380
a time machine to go back and experience one last time.
01:20:58.940
Yeah, but here's what I want because my daughter is, um, you know, she's doing all this acting
01:21:03.220
stuff and so we drive her, uh, about 30, 40 minutes to the theater, then drive back, then
01:21:20.380
She's very good at it and we want to support her and everything else, but you know, it
01:21:23.660
gets to the point to where, you know, you know, Rafe and I look at each other, you know,
01:21:29.700
like, are we ever going to see mom and Cheyenne again?
01:21:36.540
I mean, it's, yeah, you know, it's overwhelming.
01:21:43.660
And I, I, I see parents in all these, you know, that are on his team all dealing with
01:21:49.100
You know, some kids, some parents are taking them to 45,000 games a weekend.
01:21:53.120
And some are like, look, you'll pick one thing and we'll do it.
01:21:57.780
We'll support you, but we're not going to be, we're not going to make you into a machine
01:22:03.420
And it's, it's a tough balance because you want us to be supportive.
01:22:06.000
You want to give them the best chance they can to enjoy what they're doing and all that.
01:22:09.600
But, you know, the bottom line is you still have to be a family and be able to spend time
01:22:14.420
together and, and have those moments outside of that structure.
01:22:17.500
And what's really weird is we hate call, uh, carting them around.
01:22:21.000
So we want to spend time with them in the house and they would rather spend the time
01:22:25.620
of us carting them around than sitting in the same room and watch a movie with us or,
01:22:34.600
It's kind of screwed up because we'll both regret it in the end.
01:23:06.460
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:23:27.260
So I had an interesting day, uh, yesterday with some family members who came to visit
01:23:41.260
me, came to visit uncle Glenn and, uh, uncle Glenn, when he was asked, so what do you think
01:23:51.840
is coming uncle Glenn told them uncle Glenn may have made a few tactical errors and, and I would
01:24:22.140
Don't whatever you do kids do not ask him how things are going.
01:24:28.960
In 1994, uh, Ukraine signed the non-nuclear treaty by 96.
01:24:38.380
All of the nuclear devices that they had, they gave back to Russia and then they, uh, dismantled
01:24:44.200
all their nuclear processing facilities with the assurance that Russia would never, ever,
01:24:59.420
When it comes to businesses, uh, I do business with gold line.
01:25:06.820
I mean, we're asking them for advice on what to do.
01:25:10.760
I've explained why you need gold a million times, but choosing the right place to get
01:25:18.160
You can trust that 10, 20, 30 years from now, gold line will not be turning their backs on
01:25:24.460
They've been in business for over 50 years, probably about 60 years now.
01:25:27.500
That is, um, kind of odd for someone in the gold selling business.
01:25:36.320
This is one of the reasons why I trust gold line.
01:25:39.800
If you're, if you're screwing people, if you're not giving them the best deal, gold line, call
01:25:46.100
Find out about their self-directed IRA specials this week and their Glenn Beck specific promotions
01:25:51.780

01:25:54.700

01:25:58.160
Count on gold line, eight, six, six gold line, eight, six, six gold line or gold line.com.
01:26:13.040
Completely hypothetical, a cautionary tale about a man named Tom who now his family thinks he's
01:26:26.500
Tom, let's say is a loyal listener of, of this program.
01:26:38.380
At first he thought, ah, this guy, he's overreacting collapse of the West, whatever.
01:26:46.880
Now, Tom is wide awake and he wants to make sure his family is ready because he feels responsible
01:27:01.900
Well, his wife, Lacey might love Tom, but is not really like Tom might've been one day
01:27:15.140
Now they've got three kids under five and Lacey, Tom's wife, she's at home with the kids all
01:27:23.040
She just wants to have an adult conversation from time to time.
01:27:26.700
She also has an elderly mother, so she's got a lot of responsibility too.
01:27:35.740
Nonetheless, study ESG scores, not high on Lacey's list.
01:27:41.880
The kids were screaming over the radio when Tom years ago said, you should listen to Glenn
01:27:48.440
She would just like quiet in the house from time to time.
01:27:52.160
Her mother always forgets to put on her hearing aids and then turns the TV up to, uh, was
01:28:04.420
One day after listening to my show recently, Tom decided it was time for the family to start
01:28:11.640
preparing, but he knew he and his wife needed to make the decision together.
01:28:19.300
Um, so last week, Tom decided to, is to approach his wife in the kitchen.
01:28:28.800
She has a three year old that was bumbling and babbling relentlessly under her feet.
01:28:33.700
And she hadn't slept much the night before because the baby, baby kept waking up.
01:28:38.820
They had guests arriving for a weekend stay in less than an hour, but Lacey had spent the
01:28:44.060
morning helping her mother trying to find her heart medicine.
01:28:46.880
So the house was still a mess and Tom thought, you know what?
01:29:01.040
The collapse of the West is right around the corner.
01:29:04.980
Tom bellowed to his wife, to which she replied,
01:29:08.380
You have been listening too much to Glenn Beck.
01:29:13.940
Tom, stunned, eked out a series of breathless words punctuated by rapid and indiscernible
01:29:36.840
Thoroughly exhausted, Tom collapsed to the floor, staring blankly into space.
01:29:49.480
Tom collected himself and scuttled out of the kitchen, cloaked in abject failure and sweat.
01:30:04.800
Because while I'm not Tom, I, of course, said more than just World Economic Forum, Digital Currency,
01:30:18.520
And I'm surprised that some of the family members who don't listen to me all the time,
01:30:27.940
but know that Uncle Glenn kind of knows what's going on, and so they look to me from time to
01:30:35.300
time for an update, I decided to tell them everything.
01:30:49.380
So, let me break it down on the things that Tom and I have both learned.
01:30:56.560
Some rules that maybe you should take when talking to your family about,
01:31:08.360
Now, I'm not sure when that time is, because in a busy household, it never seems to be the
01:31:23.440
In-laws arriving in five minutes, five days, five years?
01:31:38.360
You need to pick a low-stress time, where you can really talk.
01:31:43.980
Now, immediately, I think, maybe a romantic weekend.
01:31:53.040
In couples counseling, they teach couples to employ the acronym HALT.
01:32:00.840
Before you have any serious conversation, HALT.
01:32:28.160
If one or more or all of them apply, wrong time.
01:32:38.240
I was like, what on earth happened to you this weekend?
01:32:47.000
So, you tried to explain to your family the doom we all face in some level of detail.
01:33:21.700
And I said, yeah, but I mean, it may not happen.
01:33:30.180
But I think we should all be prepared and start thinking along these lines.
01:33:46.280
And then they also went home and they saw, you know, the new red phone being put on the
01:33:55.020
And, you know, the fact that, you know, we're at DEFCON 2 in Europe.
01:34:01.100
And the other, my favorite was, by the way, we're the State Department.
01:34:06.560
If you're an American citizen in Russia, run for your lives.
01:34:12.720
That's probably, that probably notched them up a little bit in the panic scenario.
01:34:21.680
Yeah, no, there's a lot to be worried about right now.
01:34:25.040
So I went to them and said, look, look, look, look.
01:34:28.320
I am sorry because I feel very alone in the family because I don't tell the family, you
01:34:40.560
And and there's many things that I believe that I shall never say that, but I shall never
01:34:47.320
And so there's lots of things that I don't say because I don't want you don't want to
01:35:05.480
And I bet as a dad, if you feel the way I do, you might feel this way.
01:35:09.280
You might feel very, very alone because you're like, you know, everyone is depending on me.
01:35:13.780
I'm trying to just to, hey, let's yes, let's go out and and and and just watch the kids
01:35:24.840
Let's do that because it's going to I'm not stressed out or thinking about anything at
01:35:30.240
I'm just thinking about let's have a good time.
01:35:33.320
OK, who wants to go to Shakey's Pizza afterwards?
01:35:39.440
That's that's the way I feel like I'm just faking all of the.
01:35:50.120
I definitely wasn't thinking about 18 minutes before, you know, missiles would hit here and
01:35:54.240
how we would possibly survive and get out of ground zero.
01:35:59.640
Glenn, so when somebody says, no, really, Uncle Glenn, tell me, oh, I was glad to share
01:36:12.580
So what I said to them is, you know, be prepared.
01:36:22.540
I told them this yesterday when there was a big conference call with the whole family
01:36:27.700
and many of them were like, we can never let our, you know, our wives down to your house
01:36:41.120
And so I talked to everybody and I said, look, here's the thing.
01:36:50.800
And the first thing that's going to happen, and I explained this to them, that Tanya and
01:36:55.860
I, for the last week, we have been trying to make some really big decisions on things.
01:37:05.700
You can't you can't have that big conversation even all at once.
01:37:13.660
And you'll think like I'm not making any progress because I haven't made any decisions.
01:37:18.580
All last week, Tanya and I tried to have one conversation about one item on our list.
01:37:26.580
And it is so it's so it's hard to think about these things.
01:37:37.560
There's got to be a self-help book on what to do, you know, if your country's about to collapse.
01:37:50.980
And you can follow my I mean, I might get to a point where I'm like, oh, zombie is involved.
01:38:02.620
And all last week, Tanya and I, we haven't made a decision yet, but we're closer because
01:38:09.160
we had five or six nights of just having honestly five minute conversations before all of it.
01:38:17.720
But before both of us were like, I'm exhausted.
01:38:19.840
I can't even think about I'm just I just shut down.
01:38:23.840
It's really hard because it evolves everything, everything.
01:38:29.380
So what you need to do is just the next right thing.
01:38:39.200
On the political side, call your state house, your Senate, your House of Representatives,
01:38:56.740
You don't even have to do that if you just if you're just concerned about you go to the
01:39:00.840
store and every time you buy food, you know, this is not doomsday.
01:39:07.760
Every time you buy something by two, if you can and then store the second one.
01:39:15.180
And then when you run out of the first one, don't use the second one.
01:39:24.980
And store the second one there and just keep doing that until you have.
01:39:36.880
They're saying that it's going to be ten dollars a tube.
01:39:50.160
Just do the next right thing and start knocking them off.
01:40:02.480
I've spent the last 20, almost 18 years, just, no, well, actually since September 11th, really, about 20 years, just focused on what I think we're entering into now.
01:40:16.120
To bring people up to speed is tough and you don't want to scare them.
01:40:21.480
So don't invite me to any parties because I'll make everyone cry.
01:40:31.180
Have you learned to speak Russian or Chinese yet?
01:40:37.260
If this administration has anything to say about it, you know, might be what all the cool kids are doing in the future.
01:40:45.000
The problem with the world in general and America in particular is that it is infested with leftism and globalism.
01:40:54.880
There have been many people, many people that have noticed it for a long time.
01:40:59.880
I mean, a lot of us are just kind of waking up going, wait a minute.
01:41:04.160
How come nobody's standing up for the things that we all used to think were right?
01:41:08.420
There are a few companies that are doing this and you should do business when you can with those people.
01:41:16.220
And you should switch your plan, your mobile plan, to Patriot today.
01:41:22.460
Their 100% U.S.-based customer support team is awesome.
01:41:26.740
More importantly, Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizing, fighting for religious freedom, constitutional rights, sanctity of life, veterans, first responders.
01:41:38.160
They're actually fighting every single day and running a really sweet phone company.
01:41:52.460
Veterans and first responders can save even more.
01:41:56.080
Support a company that feels about America the way you do and shares your values and is fighting for them.
01:42:22.300
So, are we being too opaque on what people are supposed to be preparing for?
01:42:31.720
Well, I mean, I think we've shook all the stragglers long.
01:42:36.440
I think all the people are like, I don't know, man.
01:42:46.460
People want to prepare for some terrible consequence or some awful thing that happens or some uncertainty.
01:42:54.160
But, to know what and how to prepare, you need to know what the thing is.
01:43:00.080
So, the first thing is, I mean, I don't, I mean, I'll go through this.
01:43:04.380
I don't know how to do this in a not Glenn Beck sort of way.
01:43:07.940
The first thing you have to know is it's going to get economically tough.
01:43:17.300
At that point, it's just know that inflation, you ain't seen nothing yet.
01:43:43.360
Should I go into the petrodollar now or should I save that later?
01:43:47.580
As much as it sounds, it's as enticing as it seems.
01:43:51.700
So, I'll go into the collapse of the petrodollar because of oil.
01:44:08.040
Be around like-minded people that love God and have a happy attitude.
01:44:21.820
Latest inflation data is suggesting the Fed could raise its key rate this month by one-half percentage point.
01:44:27.680
May not sound like a lot yet, but it is something to monitor.
01:44:31.520
It's going to affect your debt, your investments.
01:44:35.520
Your entire financial outlook for the time being.
01:44:38.420
I keep bringing this up because there is a way to get yourself clear of a lot of this issue.
01:44:44.500
There is still time to protect yourself and your budget.
01:44:47.320
If you give American Financing a call, you could find yourself locking in a really good low rate before things go crazy more than they already have.
01:44:56.040
Get the free mortgage review I've been telling you about from American Financing.
01:45:04.720
And in the coming months, even years, that could make a difference between security and disaster.
01:45:10.520
So, please, make the call to American Financing today.
01:45:24.880
The Great Reset by Glenn Beck is available in bookstores now.
01:45:30.460
You can get the first chapter for free at glennsnewbook.com.
01:45:49.840
What you're seeing happen over in Russia is the Great Reset.
01:46:01.140
Say, look, they can't even watch the opening of Batman this weekend.
01:46:12.440
And it's not because the Biden administration cobbled all these people together.
01:46:19.500
This is all of these companies deciding that they want to have a high ESG score.
01:46:31.260
Unfortunately, because we are foolish and we don't look beyond the next step, we are collapsing ourself as well.
01:46:45.420
We cannot cut off Russian oil without us opening up our own, not oil reserves, open up our own oil production.
01:46:54.640
We could provide the world with the energy that it needs or a good portion of it, but we won't do it because of global warming.
01:47:03.700
And their excuse for this, basically, if you're going to take the best face of the administration, their position on this is,
01:47:10.820
we're going to Iran, we're going to Venezuela because we want to limit the damage of whatever is going to happen in Russia.
01:47:21.680
And the reason we don't open it up here is because we don't want this to be a long-term play for more fossil fuel use.
01:47:30.260
We want this to be a short-term price control on the market where we can help the market in this short time when this war is going on.
01:47:41.100
But we don't want to depend for a long period of time on fossil fuels because we think the existential threat, of course, of all of our civilizations is global warming.
01:47:50.500
Yeah, it doesn't make sense, though, that you would go to fossil fuels from Russia, which its oil is dirtier than ours and has, you know, much worse effect on the climate as you're refining it.
01:48:03.360
It wouldn't make sense that you would go to Iran and Venezuela.
01:48:07.720
Why would you go because now your social justice goes off the charts?
01:48:12.860
You're going to go fund a country that throws homosexuals off the roofs of buildings?
01:48:20.940
You're going to go to a socialist country that is starving its people while its leader gets rich?
01:48:29.820
No, but I think their position on that is it's temporary.
01:48:33.600
We're not going we're not going to temporarily helping any of these people.
01:48:38.400
Oh, you know, I'm with you on this, by the way.
01:48:41.940
But temporarily helping people that are throwing gay people off the roof.
01:48:48.500
It's not like Russia is much better on that topic.
01:48:55.460
It's just the only thing that makes sense is if you if you actually just don't want America to succeed or you don't believe that anyone is for this except a small hand handful of people.
01:49:09.800
And so if you give out this ground now, you'll never get it back.
01:49:18.800
They believe that they have to do when they have power like this jam through every Green New Deal piece of this to lock us in for long term progress.
01:49:29.900
So then that should you should ask then, are they truly representatives of the people?
01:49:39.380
I mean, if you're if you're willing to collapse us for that, I mean, if you have this this view of global warming, this apocalyptic view of global warming, where you would rather give money to regimes like Iran and Venezuela, that's just completely insane.
01:49:56.980
And the Elon Musk position is a much more sensible apocalyptic global warming position.
01:50:02.240
Where you say, OK, look, we have nuclear power, which is much, much safer.
01:50:08.400
It is it's the best type of power available for all of these reasons.
01:50:16.200
Basically, it's it is completely clean, emission free.
01:50:21.340
All the things both sides seem to want independence plus no emissions.
01:50:26.780
I mean, it really does hit the sweet spot there and environmentalists have turned against this for 40, 50 years.
01:50:35.780
And now we're in this position where we have to deal with these regimes or we have to violate one of these two sides, either not be independent or, God forbid, light the planet on fire.
01:50:45.440
Well, the reason why we don't want to buy oil from Russia is.
01:50:58.780
But we weren't talking about, you know, not funding him until he crossed into Ukraine.
01:51:05.420
And so we're all seeing the people in Ukraine and going, oh, my gosh, we have to help these people.
01:51:11.120
What about the people that marched and were jailed in Cuba?
01:51:25.600
I think what you can't you can't you can't heal one place by aiding murderers and thugs in another.
01:51:35.100
Generally speaking, those situations you're talking about are situations in which and we have, by the way, very much isolated Iran before this.
01:51:49.740
The the the message being sent to Russia here in their argument, their worldview is this is a line you can't cross.
01:51:59.440
You've crossed a line and we're we're enforcing a line and doing everything we can to enforce that line.
01:52:04.480
And if it means we have to fall back on some other promises on other things, then we that's what we have to do.
01:52:10.780
I mean, because, as you know, Glenn, you're only a few months away from an election in this country in which the Democrats, if they're facing eight dollar a gallon gas, they're not going to do all that well.
01:52:22.860
They're not going to do well with two dollar a gallon gas right now.
01:52:26.680
Eight dollar a gallon gas could be the ultimate wave election that we haven't seen in a century.
01:52:33.860
So it might make the Tea Party election look like it was nothing from 2010.
01:52:40.580
If he's if we're looking at eight dollar a gallon gas and inflation through the roof.
01:52:48.040
This is where some people think, yeah, well, that's why they will bring things down quickly, because then they'll just cancel elections.
01:52:56.140
If you cancel elections, that this is not going to happen.
01:53:06.460
But I do see a country that is so hungry, that is so freaked out by everything that is is happening.
01:53:16.640
And the Democrats saying, we'll give you all these free things.
01:53:21.340
Pass our build back better bill, and we'll give you all these free things.
01:53:27.100
I might they've overseen this entire thing happening.
01:53:54.000
So your question, your answer is he's crazy or we don't understand what he thinks is rational.
01:54:01.400
OK, the same thing here, maybe with the Democratic Democratic Party.
01:54:21.900
It would put us back into a position where we're leading the world, not not following.
01:54:29.380
And I think all of those reasons are the reasons why they're not doing it.
01:54:41.600
I think they're trying to hopefully minimize the harsh impact of the American people so
01:54:48.120
they can not lose not only purple districts, but, you know, light blue districts.
01:54:57.180
No, are you seeing them minimizing the going to Iran, going to Venezuela to try to lower
01:55:04.540
gas prices enough so the shock isn't as bad if we wind up losing Russia?
01:55:09.920
Because we keep talking about, well, we might not buy Russian oil.
01:55:23.280
What if they decide, you know what, Europe, we're not giving you anything.
01:55:42.160
We hope that both sides walk away from the table with the gun pointed at each other saying,
01:55:49.780
all right, we're not going to we're not going to mess with each other.
01:55:59.160
It's just not with nuclear missiles, although it is with nuclear missiles in the end.
01:56:02.360
But, you know, right now we can both and we both are destroying our own economies.
01:56:23.300
Is there anyone that is an adult in the room that can stand up and go, OK, all right, OK, at least in America, if you want to do this, you have to pump your own oil and gas.
01:56:47.080
We can't say we are being compassionate to Ukraine if we are destroying ourselves.
01:56:57.480
We can't destroy ourselves and we don't have to.
01:57:04.460
Just open up the spigots for the natural gas and the oil to flow and we can help Europe.
01:57:20.400
Isn't that what our plan is or is our plan to all of us?
01:57:36.380
I either hear, you know, Putin's not a bad guy or we need to fly our planes in there and cut off his oil.
01:57:44.420
Yeah, it's a weird time because we are, I think, correctly, morally justified in taking a strong position on this.
01:57:51.320
I think what has happened has been really, really bad.
01:57:54.260
And Vladimir Putin still is mostly to blame for it.
01:57:57.600
You know, this is that's not to say everyone else in the world is perfect.
01:58:00.440
But this was a an unneeded escalation in our world.
01:58:05.400
But I don't think that the American people have been told and had the full conversation on what sort of ramifications are going to come from this.
01:58:18.800
And I'm still talking to people who are like, oh, you know, I'm not really interested.
01:58:29.440
And if this thing goes on and, you know, like Vladimir Putin's not the type of guy who's going to say, yeah, you guys ruined our economy.
01:58:38.800
That may have been too much of an overreach for us.
01:58:42.100
He's not going to he's not going to back off and say, ah, see, here's a mistake.
01:58:46.540
Here's the reason why Donald Trump didn't say anything about Putin while they were together.
01:58:53.840
OK, and Putin didn't say anything bad about Trump, because at least Trump has told me that a deal.
01:59:06.680
That's just don't you dare target me personally or I will target you personally in the war of words.
01:59:13.280
Yeah. You know, and people forget that Trump's policies, not words, but policies on Russia were very strong, the strongest, stronger than Obama's or Biden's.
01:59:21.940
And he also said to Putin, you take Ukraine, those beautiful onion domes there in Moscow.
01:59:33.180
And and that is important in a guy like Vladimir Putin.
01:59:38.460
You have to speak his language or he does not respect you.
01:59:41.760
If covid wasn't bad enough, now you have to be on the lookout for fake, unregulated pop up covid testing sites.
01:59:50.760
Honestly, did you see the Senate voted against the said it's time to get rid of the end of the state of emergency state of emergency?
01:59:59.360
In New York City, they're getting rid of the vaccine mandates for indoor dining and all of that.
02:00:07.040
It won't in the House, but get your House members, especially Democrats, call your House members, tell them to end this emergency.
02:00:13.900
You do not want these emergencies laying on the books.
02:00:21.780
And it's not one that you have to worry about or or should worry about if you have things covered, if you have somebody doing it for you, looking out for you.
02:00:38.940
We've all grown to trust Norton for their antivirus programs.
02:00:44.380
Well, this is this is them protecting your identity.
02:00:48.480
And right now you can join, save 25 percent off your first year with the promo code back.
02:00:52.320

02:00:55.680
Use the promo code back for 25 percent off LifeLock dot com.
02:01:39.560
I might go just to just to stare people in the caucus rooms.
02:01:42.300
Because, you know, the problem is the good guys we have.
02:01:47.440
So many people will think, oh, well, they're they're set.
02:01:53.320
It's exactly what I said when you brought it up to me this morning.
02:01:55.940
Mike Lee isn't going to lose and not going to lose in Utah.
02:02:01.500
The the it's possible left and the so-called right or independent, you know, that Lincoln project kind of thing.
02:02:11.140
The money involved and the organizing involved and we cannot sit on our hands.
02:02:21.200
If you are for a candidate and it's a conservative, I don't care how locked in you think they are.
02:02:31.920
Tomorrow, you support Mike Lee or whoever you support.
