Transcript

00:00:00.000 Let me tell you about Grip6 right now as the sun is climbing high into the morning sky.
00:00:05.440 There is a guy in Texas checking his fifth oil rig of the day, making sure the machinery is in proper working order, just in case, just in case.
00:00:15.680 Thousands of miles away from Iowa, a farmer's wife is digging in the garden she planted behind the house, pulling tomatoes right off the vine.
00:00:22.760 And in Florida, there's a guy walking on an uncrowded morning beach, waving a metal detector in search of treasures.
00:00:28.700 You know what all these people have in common? Socks, Grip6.
00:00:32.800 I mean, even the guy with the metal detector, those socks don't look stupid on him.
00:00:37.600 If you want socks that'll keep your feet cool in the summer, warm in the winter, socks made with the latest in wool technology that will actually keep your feet cool and warm.
00:00:48.740 You don't have to look any further than Grip6. I wear them. I enjoy them. I think you're going to too.
00:00:53.020 Just put your trust in hard-earned money in a company that does it right here in America.
00:00:59.460 We thank the sponsor, Grip6, for being with us and standing with America.

00:01:41.400 We've got no room to compromise.
00:01:45.660 We've got to stand together if we're going to survive.
00:01:49.620 Stand up straight and hold the line.
00:01:57.180 It's a new day, I'm trying to rise.
00:02:03.640 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:09.480 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:12.000 Holy cow, miracles of miracles have happened.
00:02:20.560 That horrible rail strike that was going to devastate everything, burn us down to the ground, panic, everyone, has suddenly been averted.
00:02:31.100 How did this happen?
00:02:34.020 We'll tell you in 60 seconds.
00:02:37.660 Lillian wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Green.
00:02:40.160 She says,
00:02:40.620 I have the pickiest chihuahua on the planet.
00:02:43.900 Seriously, I was at wit's end trying to get her to eat any form of dog food, and she wasn't getting the proper nutrition.
00:02:50.860 Well, in comes Rough Greens, changes everything, and now I can add, you know, this to her home-cooked meals, and she eats it up.
00:02:57.240 She's already a pretty healthy dog, but I'm sure she's going to remain one for years and years to come.
00:03:01.880 I saw healthy changes in my dog, and Uno was the same way.
00:03:06.180 He just wouldn't eat.
00:03:08.020 He just wouldn't eat.
00:03:09.780 The folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it that they want to give you a trial bag just so your dog can try it and eat it.
00:03:17.980 If they don't like it, you're not out anything.
00:03:19.960 You just pay for the shipping, and if your dog does like it, get a full bag and start feeding them and watch the difference.
00:03:27.120 Roughgreens.com slash Beck.
00:03:29.060 Roughgreens.com slash Beck.
00:03:31.120 It's a free trial bag.
00:03:32.320 Just pay for shipping.
00:03:33.220 Roughgreens.com slash Beck or 833-GLEN-33.
00:03:38.060 All right.
00:03:38.800 We have just some amazing news.
00:03:43.160 Amazing news.
00:03:45.200 The railroad strike that could have halted large amounts of food shipments during harvest season would have meant that 300,000 barrels of oil a day were stopped.
00:03:59.260 That food would rot.
00:04:02.020 The supply chain would be broken, perhaps forever now.
00:04:07.180 Thousands of people that ride Amtrak mysteriously for some reason would be abandoned.
00:04:15.740 This, this, this, this, we are just hours away from this nightmarish nuclear holocaust of a situation.
00:04:28.980 What to do, what to do, what to do, what to do.
00:04:31.040 Well, the good news is, now from Reuters, the White House has announced a tentative deal to avert the nationwide disaster.
00:04:43.300 It was a marathon night of negotiations, and President Joe Biden led the way.
00:04:51.160 He said, quote,
00:04:52.260 This deal will keep our critical rail system working and avoid disruption of our economy.
00:05:00.600 Those rail workers are going to get better pay, improve working conditions, and peace of mind around their health care costs, all hard earned.
00:05:09.040 The agreement is also a victory for the railway companies, who will be able to retain and recruit more workers for an industry that will continue to be the backbone of the American economy for decades to come.
00:05:21.020 Whoa.
00:05:24.800 Whew.
00:05:27.900 Oh.
00:05:29.240 I mean, I didn't sleep last night.
00:05:33.960 I was so worried about it.
00:05:37.420 Because according to some reports, while workers are generally well paid, the strike was actually focused on the quality of life, which is pretty miserable for these people.
00:05:46.980 You know, they have fixed time, lack of overtime due to classification loopholes.
00:05:51.520 They're on call for 30 days.
00:05:53.860 And they can't go to the doctors, et cetera, et cetera.
00:05:58.060 Well, that evil Amtrak just wouldn't bend for these poor workers.
00:06:03.880 So, at the last minute, the Biden administration needed to jump in.
00:06:09.500 Now, this is such a minor point, I hate to even bring it up, but the president did have a mediation board, and it's usual for the government to get involved in something like this because it affects so much.
00:06:24.060 But the president's mediation board in June just got up and walked away and said, you know what?
00:06:30.740 You guys figure this out.
00:06:32.020 You're going to be fine.
00:06:32.800 And everybody was like, wait a minute.
00:06:34.680 What do you mean?
00:06:36.160 You can't leave?
00:06:37.700 I mean, this is really important.
00:06:39.600 Now, yeah, I think you guys have it.
00:06:41.480 I think you have it.
00:06:42.700 And, you know, it didn't go well.
00:06:46.180 For some reason, for the first time, the government's mediation board, who is something as big as this, just gets up and leaves back in June.
00:06:58.520 Wow.
00:07:00.040 What could that have been about?
00:07:06.440 Some people say that this is political theater.
00:07:10.000 And I just, I'm sorry.
00:07:13.380 What are you saying?
00:07:14.240 That he would have his people walk away in order to create an issue for him to resolve just ahead of the midterms for another victory going in?
00:07:22.320 Well, not another, but a single victory going into the election.
00:07:25.980 That seems so cynical.
00:07:30.020 I mean, that would require truly political theater.
00:07:35.220 Welcome to another episode of Joe Biden Theater, where we join now as Joe Biden joins the all-night session to get America back on track.
00:07:51.820 Mr. President, we is your favorite cash cow, which you've done everything we've ever asked you to do for decades, despite losing billions of taxpayer dollars.
00:08:04.420 Yes, Amtrak, the ones that you have now suggested you will help us expand our service so we can lose even more money and have even less people riding the trains.
00:08:17.140 Well, Mr. President, even though we're co-host, personal friends for decades now, we just can no longer negotiate with these slimy, coal-dust-ridden workers.
00:08:28.660 I mean, they're the workers, Mr. President, you know, they disgust us.
00:08:37.160 Mr. President, what is your favorite special interest, you know, that are really responsible for your win in 2020?
00:08:44.320 You know, those of us who hold the good union jobs that you've made the centerpiece of your administration, you know, you fought valiantly for us.
00:08:55.460 You know, everything that you do is revolving around us in the unions, you know, and we're at an impasse.
00:09:04.580 There is no way we could ever come to terms.
00:09:08.600 Oh, geez. Oh, it's so late in the night. I've been working so long.
00:09:16.600 Oh, where is Congress?
00:09:18.820 Why have they not weighed in on this looming tragedy just before the election?
00:09:23.640 It's a disaster that could impoverish our people, stop all of our food deliveries, stop the deliveries of water, destroy the supply chain, and raise gas prices just as we are nearly out of our strategic oil reserves.
00:09:39.980 Mr. President, I would like to point out the Republicans did try to pass a bill that would have solved the crisis, you know, like the last 17 times we've come to this impasse.
00:09:51.600 But, you know, we really figured those evil Republicans were up to something.
00:09:55.740 So rightfully, the Democrats blocked that bill just last night.
00:09:59.760 Oh, it was our last hope.
00:10:01.720 What to do?
00:10:02.960 What to do?
00:10:04.380 Oh, where could we possibly find our savior?
00:10:07.700 Uh, now?
00:10:10.860 Yeah, now.
00:10:12.200 Line?
00:10:13.340 Perhaps I can help.
00:10:14.980 Oh, yes.
00:10:16.020 Perhaps I can help.
00:10:18.700 You two, of which I do not know or have ever met, I now find myself in this room in the middle of the night, standing against the wind, which is normal for me.
00:10:31.440 I work 18 hours a day.
00:10:33.480 I'm so beaming with useful strength.
00:10:35.860 But I do it now, not for myself, but for my fellow Americans, except those mega-terrorists.
00:10:43.100 They're not enough.
00:10:43.720 Yes, right, right, right.
00:10:44.520 Go on.
00:10:45.560 I must implore you both now to come together so we may save the Republic.
00:10:53.100 Well, I don't really know.
00:10:54.920 On my family name, my good family name, I will see this, John.
00:11:03.420 Oh, Mr. President.
00:11:05.360 You know, as a spokesperson for Amtrak, may I just say, maybe these fine individuals who honestly run our rail system may have a point that we should have perhaps listened to earlier.
00:11:20.040 Yeah, yeah, us guys too, you know.
00:11:23.720 Oh, these knuckleheads.
00:11:25.500 They're actually pretty good fellas.
00:11:27.940 We just didn't listen.
00:11:30.080 Oh, and by the way, we didn't really mean we were going to break some legs.
00:11:33.860 Oh, Mr. President, you've helped us see the light.
00:11:36.800 Mr. President, because of you, a brilliant negotiator, and your sound reasoning, you have adverted this disaster.
00:11:45.840 All of life is but a theater.
00:11:53.380 Biden Political Theater.
00:11:55.780 Join us again.
00:11:57.440 Wow, it couldn't have been anything like that.
00:12:00.060 That's so cynical.
00:12:01.960 So incredibly cynical.
00:12:06.920 We'll just believe the mainstream media.
00:12:09.080 Um, okay.
00:12:11.780 Hey, Ron DeSantis is now sending planes full of illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard.
00:12:21.340 Now, here's my problem.
00:12:24.120 And I think if you're a leftist, you would agree with me.
00:12:27.540 Right now is not the time for these kind of shenanigans.
00:12:31.360 Okay, it is, this is beyond, oh, sending a couple of busloads of people to New York City, which can barely stand two busloads of illegal immigrants and will collapse the system.
00:12:46.700 This, this shows you how evil Ron DeSantis really is.
00:12:51.340 Ron is sending these migrants, showing, showing how much he hates people of different color, disregard his wife.
00:12:59.020 Um, he hates them so much that he is sending them into a flood zone where they will all die because of global warming.
00:13:10.000 That island is about to be washed away.
00:13:15.760 I, I, I just don't, oh, the humanity.
00:13:20.600 Terrible.
00:13:22.160 Terrible.
00:13:23.740 Tragic.
00:13:25.000 Well.
00:13:25.920 Catastrophic.
00:13:26.560 Forty-eight migrants landed in Martha's Vineyard.
00:13:29.180 Yeah, forty-eight.
00:13:30.500 Forty-eight.
00:13:31.080 How are they going to do it?
00:13:31.800 Try that in Texas.
00:13:33.520 You, it would collapse.
00:13:35.180 Yeah.
00:13:35.780 They're overwhelming these cities.
00:13:38.720 They are.
00:13:40.180 Overwhelming these cities.
00:13:41.240 They sure are.
00:13:41.860 My gosh.
00:13:43.000 I mean, yes, Texas gets forty-eight in about fifteen minutes.
00:13:46.760 Fifteen minutes?
00:13:48.880 Yeah.
00:13:50.380 Probably less than that.
00:13:51.400 Yeah, I think a lot less than that.
00:13:53.720 Every five minutes, another forty-eight.
00:13:55.520 Yeah, New York City, the mayor said the city is just scrambling, just scrambling.
00:14:02.480 It's nearing its breaking point.
00:14:04.440 Don't say that.
00:14:05.200 Yeah.
00:14:06.000 Yeah.
00:14:07.540 Mm-hmm.
00:14:08.580 Do they have a crisis now?
00:14:10.940 A border crisis at Martha's Vineyard?
00:14:14.140 They, these governors are turning these cities into border towns.
00:14:20.520 Which should be great for them, right?
00:14:24.440 Yeah, I mean, what's the problem?
00:14:26.300 You say that there is no problem in border towns.
00:14:29.240 What do you mean by that?
00:14:30.860 Yeah, you're sanctuary cities, which means you provide sanctuary for illegals.
00:14:35.700 Yes.
00:14:35.920 This should be great for you.
00:14:36.880 It should be wonderful for you.
00:14:39.460 Hmm.
00:14:39.960 Huh.
00:14:40.580 So.
00:14:41.100 So weird.
00:14:42.240 We have that going for us.
00:14:44.320 Oh, and Rand Paul talked to Dr. Fauci yesterday.
00:14:48.460 We're going to get into that, and then Rand Paul's joining us in just a few minutes.
00:14:51.660 Stand by.
00:14:52.620 Does it seem sometimes like you just have to drag yourself out of bed in the morning, face
00:14:56.360 the day, because, you know, you're going to be in pain?
00:14:58.420 If so, I can relate.
00:15:01.320 Getting up every day for years, thinking, is this what my life is going to be like for
00:15:05.920 the rest of my life?
00:15:07.240 I don't want to do this.
00:15:08.940 And then going to doctor after doctor, trying to find anything that would actually work.
00:15:13.600 You know what actually got me out of pain?
00:15:17.060 Relief factor.
00:15:18.580 Relief factor.
00:15:19.760 It's, thank God, not a drug, not something that drugs you out.
00:15:22.920 It was developed by doctor, has four key ingredients that fight inflammation, which is the source
00:15:27.500 of most of our pain that we deal with.
00:15:29.560 It could work for you.
00:15:31.040 Three-week quick start.
00:15:32.060 Developed for you, $19.95.
00:15:33.940 It's a dollar a day like a trial pack.
00:15:36.120 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on
00:15:40.000 to order more.
00:15:41.160 So order Relief Factor at relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF.
00:15:46.400 800, the number four, relief.
00:15:49.100 ReliefFactor.com.
00:15:50.920 Feel the difference.
00:15:51.720 10 seconds, station ID.
00:16:03.680 So I wouldn't want to be Dr. Fauci if this is an honest election.
00:16:12.420 No.
00:16:13.680 And Rand Paul has had a few discussions with Dr. Fauci.
00:16:17.640 Really?
00:16:18.340 Yeah, a couple.
00:16:19.440 And this was really interesting because he started out by showing a clip of Fauci from
00:16:25.540 2004, where Fauci talks about the fact that, hey, if you've been infected with the flu,
00:16:34.120 you don't need a vaccine.
00:16:35.820 So he starts there, and it just goes downhill for Fauci from then on.
00:16:40.500 But here's the first part where he plays the clip.
00:16:42.780 But she's had the flu for 14 days.
00:16:46.920 Should she get a flu shot?
00:16:48.040 Well, no.
00:16:48.480 If she got the flu for 14 days, she's as protected as anybody can be, because the best vaccination
00:16:53.020 is to get infected yourself.
00:16:55.640 And she should not get it?
00:16:57.180 If she really has the flu, if she really has the flu, she definitely doesn't need a flu vaccine.
00:17:02.980 Oh.
00:17:03.780 If she really has the flu.
00:17:05.200 She should not get it again?
00:17:06.540 No, she doesn't need it, because it's the most potent vaccination is getting infected
00:17:11.240 yourself.
00:17:13.600 Okay.
00:17:14.000 So, with that in mind, and in light of what Fauci has said for the last two years, Rand Paul
00:17:21.460 went on a little bit of a rant, cut 19.
00:17:25.960 Actually, words don't lie.
00:17:28.060 If you look at the words behind me, we can go over them a little bit at a time.
00:17:31.560 She doesn't need it, because the most potent vaccination is getting infected to yourself.
00:17:37.200 It is true.
00:17:38.100 It is true, Senator.
00:17:39.220 It is a very potent way to protect.
00:17:42.280 When you're trying to tell us that kids need a third or a fourth vaccine, are you including
00:17:47.920 the variability or the variable of previous infection in the studies?
00:17:52.960 No, you're not.
00:17:54.340 Because when you have approved vaccines in recent times, and the committees that have
00:17:58.320 approved it for children don't report anything on hospitalization or death or transmission.
00:18:04.580 They only report that if you give them the jab, they'll make antibodies.
00:18:08.500 And you can give kids hundreds of jabs, and they'll make antibodies every time, but that
00:18:13.960 does not prove efficacy.
00:18:15.640 So, what you're doing is denying the very fundamental premise of immunology that previous
00:18:21.720 infection does provide some sort of immunity.
00:18:24.760 It's not in any of your studies.
00:18:26.440 Almost none of your studies from the CDC or from the government have the variable of whether
00:18:32.240 or not you've been previously infected.
00:18:34.020 So, let's look at adults.
00:18:35.680 I've had three infections.
00:18:37.840 Should I get a fourth one?
00:18:39.360 If you're going to measure whether I get a fourth one, you need a category that has a
00:18:43.100 fourth one in it, and you need one that has nothing in it.
00:18:46.140 No vaccine or the fourth vaccine.
00:18:48.080 But you also need to know whether they've been infected.
00:18:51.000 If you ignore whether they've been infected, you're ignoring a vaccine, basically.
00:18:56.440 So, you're ignoring a variable.
00:18:57.780 So, what you're giving us is this, you decry, and people decry, vaccine hesitancy.
00:19:04.100 It's coming from the gobbledygook that you give us.
00:19:07.280 You're not paying attention to the science.
00:19:09.400 The very basic science is that previous infection provides a level of immunity.
00:19:15.300 If you ignore that in your studies, if you don't present that in your committees, you're
00:19:19.240 not being truthful or honest with this.
00:19:21.680 Wow.
00:19:22.080 Mm-hmm.
00:19:23.600 Did you notice Fauci looked, at least there, a little more humble?
00:19:29.380 No, a little bit.
00:19:30.280 A little more humble.
00:19:31.920 Mm-hmm.
00:19:32.280 Huh.
00:19:32.900 Hmm.
00:19:33.560 Huh.
00:19:34.400 Huh.
00:19:35.460 I mean, what's he going to say?
00:19:36.940 You got taken to task, and he just showed you that by your own words, you should have been
00:19:45.340 presenting these vaccines differently.
00:19:48.980 You should have been honest with the American people and say that if you've been infected,
00:19:53.800 that does provide some immunity to it.
00:19:57.160 But they don't.
00:19:58.580 No.
00:19:58.680 They never talk about that.
00:19:59.840 No.
00:19:59.980 All they talk about are the continued vaccines and boosters.
00:20:03.420 And the people that, you know, you keep hearing that have had it, you know, like the president,
00:20:08.380 he's had it more than I have.
00:20:09.720 I haven't had a single vaccine.
00:20:11.940 Yeah.
00:20:12.000 Not one.
00:20:13.220 You know.
00:20:14.140 So, what was that good for exactly?
00:20:17.540 The other thing that is, you know, Rand Paul's coming up in just a minute.
00:20:20.780 I'd like to ask him this.
00:20:21.920 The other thing is, is this mysterious death that seems to be going around all the world.
00:20:29.840 Right.
00:20:29.900 There's a mysterious death glut.
00:20:32.660 That nobody can explain.
00:20:33.820 Nobody can explain.
00:20:35.960 And you dare not.
00:20:37.180 Right.
00:20:37.540 Get anywhere near an explanation that kind of makes sense.
00:20:40.740 Right.
00:20:41.160 Or you'll be canceled.
00:20:42.380 Yeah.
00:20:42.600 So, is anybody looking into that?
00:20:46.420 Is anyone looking into that?
00:20:48.680 I know the people that are are always canceled.
00:20:51.420 But there is something very, very wrong here.
00:20:55.240 And I'd also like to ask Rand, you know, the deal with the vaccines and the government just went away.
00:21:04.580 We're not buying any more of this vaccine.
00:21:06.360 There is no nobody's interested in buying this vaccine.
00:21:10.340 Okay.
00:21:10.920 Nobody.
00:21:12.120 So, now Moderna is facing massive losses because they've made all of this vaccine.
00:21:18.580 And now there's nobody to buy it.
00:21:20.720 Isn't it weird that the same week that is is going on, the president announces a new moonshot to get these mRNA vaccines, the people who own that, which is Moderna and the people we've been paying for their partners.
00:21:40.820 I believe literally in crime, they're going to get more money from the federal government to see if any of that technology can be worked to cure cancer.
00:21:51.960 And he did specifically cite mRNA technology in the fight against cancer.
00:21:57.940 And the the company that owns that technology owns it is Moderna.
00:22:04.860 So, they've got the patent on it.
00:22:07.560 So, guess who's going to be getting even more money?
00:22:11.660 Is that just a mere coincidence?
00:22:14.080 Find out in the next exciting episode of Biden Theater.
00:22:20.820 Ay yi yi.
00:22:22.060 Okay.

00:24:15.420 Oh, everybody's famous Fauci nemesis, Rand Paul, joins us now.
00:24:31.780 Rand Paul, the senator from Kentucky.
00:24:34.920 How are you, sir?
00:24:36.520 Very good, Glenn.
00:24:37.640 Thanks for having me.
00:24:38.340 You know, I like this.
00:24:41.080 You said yesterday, we've been asking you, and you refuse to answer whether anyone on the vaccine committee gets royalties from the pharmaceutical companies.
00:24:49.300 I asked you last time, and your response was, we don't have to tell you.
00:24:52.840 When we get in charge, we're going to change the rules, and you will have to divulge where you get your royalties from, from what companies.
00:25:00.880 If anyone on the committee has a conflict of interest, we're going to learn about it.
00:25:04.720 I promise you that.
00:25:07.480 Wow.
00:25:08.560 Can you imagine, Glenn, if your local school board had a member of the school board who sold textbooks and didn't tell anybody, and then there was a bid for textbooks, and he got the contract or she got the contract?
00:25:22.620 Nobody in their right mind thinks that, right?
00:25:24.740 There's always, you always have to divulge where your money comes from if you're approving things.
00:25:29.740 And particularly, Pfizer made $36 billion last quarter.
00:25:34.740 I mean, for goodness sakes, they should be chomping at the bit to reassure us that nobody on that committee is receiving royalties from either Pfizer or Moderna.
00:25:46.120 And then we've got nothing.
00:25:47.900 That was a month ago.
00:25:48.880 And he quotes a law, and we've looked the law up.
00:25:52.220 It's from 1980.
00:25:53.240 It's called the Bay Dole Law.
00:25:56.600 And we're going to try to fix it, but we'll have to amend the law.
00:26:00.340 There's no reason in the world they should get to keep this a secret.
00:26:04.820 You know, I'm not against people getting royalties.
00:26:07.040 If you invent something and you work for government, I'm kind of for that because people will stay in government and not leave.
00:26:13.820 Not everybody will leave government.
00:26:15.040 But I'm against you hiding that information.
00:26:19.200 I wouldn't mind everybody leaving government.
00:26:22.660 That's another discussion.
00:26:24.900 So, you know, the fear that many conservatives have for independence, and there's more and more independence than there are Republicans lately.
00:26:37.680 They are all saying the same thing.
00:26:39.920 If you guys just have hearings and it goes nowhere and nobody pays for the crimes, it'll be the last time anybody pulls a lever for an R.
00:26:50.280 What power do you guys have if you take control?
00:26:54.500 I'll give you an idea from my perspective.
00:26:57.180 There are different committees, and the committees have different rules.
00:27:00.400 Certain committees have more subpoena rules.
00:27:02.640 And many of the committees, you have to have all of the Republicans vote to give you the subpoena power.
00:27:09.520 Some of the committees I'm on have the biggest rhinos in the world, and I'll never be able to get subpoena power.
00:27:15.540 Some of the committees I'm on, I might have the subpoena power.
00:27:18.440 So this will weigh into our decision on which committee to take if we win.
00:27:22.660 The other thing is this.
00:27:24.880 Not only am I going to have hearings, not only will I have an investigation, I'm going to appoint a special investigator, which will likely be like a prosecuting attorney, a lawyer.
00:27:35.240 But I'm also going to appoint a special investigating scientist to help that lawyer.
00:27:39.840 Because so much of this is science.
00:27:41.520 The scientists come in, bamboozle the lawyer, and the lawyer says, well, gosh, that's confusing.
00:27:46.440 So we really need a scientist and a lawyer to oversee this.
00:27:50.220 And we are going to find out about the origins, not only what happened, where it came from, but whether there was a cover-up afterwards.
00:27:56.820 There's also the ancillary things of finding out who's getting what money from whom and who's on which committee.
00:28:02.900 And there's also the idea of what kind of studies need to be done to help people make a decision who either been vaccinated or had the disease or both to know what the truth is about do they need another vaccine.
00:28:16.460 If you've had two vaccines and you've been infected, do you really need a third?
00:28:20.300 Do you need a fourth, a fifth, a tenth?
00:28:22.520 The data they're giving us is completely without any scientific probity.
00:28:28.840 They are saying, oh, well, you make antibodies when we give you this.
00:28:33.000 Well, that doesn't mean I need it.
00:28:34.580 You can give me 100 vaccines and I'll make antibodies every time.
00:28:37.580 It doesn't mean I need it.
00:28:38.880 What you need to know is if I've had two vaccines and I've had COVID, is there any chance I'm going to the hospital or dying from this?
00:28:45.640 And I think it's close to zero.
00:28:48.260 So there's there's some other things that are really disturbing, Rand.
00:28:51.500 And that is we're now seeing an uptick of rare cancers, especially in the young 1840.
00:29:00.500 And doctors can't explain it.
00:29:04.460 There's this there's this glut of deaths that doctors just can't explain.
00:29:09.800 Are any of these connected to the vaccines?
00:29:13.580 I don't know, but I do know that we should have an honest and open mind and study these things.
00:29:20.380 And I do know that things with statistics are sometimes difficult.
00:29:23.520 So, for example, the death rate for COVID overall is about point three percent.
00:29:29.440 So that means really ninety nine point seven percent of the people are going to survive.
00:29:35.360 So when people say, well, I took this and I got better in three days and it must be because I took this.
00:29:41.420 It's hard to know because I took nothing and I got better also.
00:29:45.420 So, yeah, you have to look at large numbers when the when the mortality rate is so low.
00:29:50.740 You have to have large numbers of people in each category to figure it out.
00:29:53.720 It's the same with cancer. So we get cancer.
00:29:56.740 And so if somebody gets in and had the vaccine, they in their mind say it was a vaccine.
00:30:00.680 But it's it's harder to prove than that.
00:30:02.760 But we can statistically look at it.
00:30:04.840 But you have to have large samples and you have to honestly look at it.
00:30:08.280 Now, do I trust the CDC is honestly looking at this?
00:30:11.040 No, I don't think there.
00:30:12.660 I think that they have preconceived notions, one, that everybody should be vaccinated.
00:30:17.680 And this is why they don't release any data on whether or not people have also had COVID.
00:30:23.000 COVID, because then people would, you know, if they had any inclination that maybe having had the infection with or without a vaccine was plenty of protection,
00:30:31.840 that would dissuade them from doing what the CDC has agreed we should do.
00:30:36.160 And that's just keep getting vaccinated all the time every year for this thing.
00:30:39.920 And so but those are things we have to push to find the truth.
00:30:43.960 But it's not always easy to find the truth.
00:30:45.460 Does Moderna still have the the MRNA technology rights?
00:30:53.000 That I don't know.
00:30:54.920 And that's worth looking into.
00:30:56.740 I don't know the answer.
00:30:57.600 Because I understand that either this week or soon the government's going to stop buying the vaccine.
00:31:03.840 And I thought it was really interesting that the president went from we're going to cure cancer to we're going to slow cancer down in the next 15 years.
00:31:14.240 And we want to invest in this MRNA technology to see if that won't help cure cancer.
00:31:23.880 And I have no problem with that.
00:31:27.300 I just found it interesting that right around the time that Moderna is getting off of the government teat on one thing, they're getting back on the government teat for another.
00:31:39.200 And the same technology.
00:31:40.400 Is there anything there?
00:31:42.780 Yeah, I'm not against using the technology and it might work for cancer.
00:31:46.700 So that's where I am on that as well.
00:31:48.660 As far as the government buying or owning big and large chunks of some kind of cure, some kind of treatment.
00:31:56.200 It's a mistake because then they control the usage of it.
00:32:00.300 So, for example, the government approved the monoclonal antibodies under emergency use authorization.
00:32:05.780 They call this an EUA.
00:32:08.340 But when doing so, then they controlled how it was used.
00:32:11.560 And so they said you can only use it as an outpatient.
00:32:14.460 Well, I was getting calls from people all over the country said I'm really sick and they think I'm going to go on a ventilator in the next day or two.
00:32:20.160 But I want the monoclonal antibodies, but they won't give them to me because I'm already an inpatient.
00:32:24.440 And I was like, that's absurd.
00:32:25.680 You know, people are asking me, should I get discharged and go to the emergency room, get the monoclonal antibodies, and then let them bring me back across the curtain into the main hospital?
00:32:35.180 I mean, but that was because the government owned them.
00:32:37.800 So there's a big danger when the government owns things.
00:32:40.400 The other thing that happened and wasn't talked about much on this is this was a billion-dollar, multi-billion-dollar subsidy for the big insurance companies.
00:32:49.220 So 80% of us have health insurance.
00:32:52.500 So when we go to get a vaccine, we either pay or our health insurance pays.
00:32:56.620 But guess what?
00:32:57.760 No matter how rich or poor you were, no matter how you had health insurance or not, you went in and the government paid.
00:33:02.540 Somebody else paid.
00:33:03.780 So the taxpayer paid.
00:33:05.340 You paid premiums to your insurance company, and your insurance company didn't have to pay for treatment of COVID because we socialized the treatment.
00:33:12.200 But really, in doing so, it became this massive gift to the health insurance companies.
00:33:17.300 Do you believe that our government violated the Nuremberg rules or laws?
00:33:25.760 You know, I don't know.
00:33:27.900 You know, the thing is, is I do think that they violated every precept of the scientific method by being open and curious as to the origins of the virus, open and curious and level-headed and equal-minded as far as treatment.
00:33:44.340 I think they brought bias and bigotry and preconceptions into everything.
00:33:50.760 And because of that, you know, for example, I don't advise people to go out and take ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine.
00:33:57.060 But if I had been in the scientific committees, I would have studied both of them, and I would have tried to study them objectively.
00:34:03.760 They were so thoroughly trashed in the media that I don't think we got objective studies.
00:34:08.480 Now, there have been studies outside the U.S. that are a little more objective, but it was all completely traded on Trump derangement syndrome because Trump mentioned something positive about one or both of those treatments.
00:34:21.180 Nobody – the left didn't care.
00:34:22.920 The left became consumed with they couldn't work because Trump was for them.
00:34:26.200 And you will recall, at first, they said the vaccine wasn't going to work and you shouldn't take it.
00:34:30.580 Cuomo and Newsom and all these Democrats were saying, don't take it.
00:34:33.680 It's the Trump vaccine, you know, until they – until it became their vaccine.
00:34:37.520 Then it was everybody should take it.
00:34:39.580 But, no, you've got to stay away from letting the government make all the decisions.
00:34:44.260 You need to disperse power and disperse decision-making in health care, same as every other sphere.
00:34:49.600 So, a lot of us are, you know, concerned about we didn't learn any of our lessons from really anything.
00:34:57.280 The government hasn't, I should say.
00:34:59.800 And now we're on the monkeypox and God knows what comes next.
00:35:04.080 Are we, as a people, secure from our own government that we are not going to be forced to be parts of their medical experiments or things in the future?
00:35:15.700 You know, we've had so many of these hearings where the left and the government comes forward and says, we want to dispel vaccine hesitancy.
00:35:25.160 And I push back to them.
00:35:26.660 I say, you realize why we're hesitant because you're not being honest with us.
00:35:30.180 Right, right.
00:35:30.520 If you're honest with us and give us all the information, you know, people are self-interested.
00:35:35.080 I don't want to die.
00:35:36.580 If I get all the information and I think it's better for me to take the vaccine, I will.
00:35:41.020 I'm not adamantly opposed to taking the vaccine.
00:35:43.160 In fact, for older folks, my in-laws, 91 and 86, my wife got them the vaccine.
00:35:48.920 My wife took the vaccine and she's about my age and healthy but hadn't had COVID.
00:35:52.920 I chose not to just because I'd had COVID.
00:35:55.220 And I thought the evidence was strong even initially that I would have immunity.
00:35:59.360 And as it's gone on, it looks like I have at least as good as the vaccine, maybe twice as good as the vaccine.
00:36:04.380 So these decisions need to be made, but we need to allow the freedom of people to make these decisions and to gain the information.
00:36:14.560 And this has led to a great deal of distrust because people know, frankly, I mean, look at the most recent vaccine that they're going to do now is brand new.
00:36:23.800 It'll be Omicron mixed with the wild variety.
00:36:26.280 So it'll be somewhat an updated vaccine.
00:36:29.040 And you know who they tested it on?
00:36:30.960 Eight mice.
00:36:32.120 No humans.
00:36:33.200 No human trial.
00:36:34.820 No human efficacy trial.
00:36:37.200 No exploration of whether there will be side effects.
00:36:41.140 They tested it on eight mice.
00:36:42.760 The mice made antibodies.
00:36:44.000 So voila, you get it.
00:36:46.200 You're going to get a vaccine tested on eight mice.
00:36:48.560 Jeez.
00:36:50.540 Senator, please keep you keep up your fight on this.
00:36:53.840 This may be the the reason why you were sent to Washington.
00:36:57.060 You are qualified to speak about it.
00:37:00.740 And, you know, the bull crap that they are that they're shoveling.
00:37:05.360 And we wish you all the best on this.
00:37:07.560 And hopefully, if there were crimes committed, hopefully they will all go to jail.
00:37:14.540 Absolutely.
00:37:15.380 We will not let go of this.
00:37:17.220 And the main reason to me is not only punishing those who have lied to us, but making sure this doesn't happen again, because there are viruses out there that has 60 percent mortality.
00:37:27.960 We could wipe out civilization as we know it if we allow this kind of research to continue.
00:37:33.180 Thank you very much.
00:37:34.180 I appreciate it.
00:37:34.940 Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky.
00:37:37.440 It seems like a good idea at the time.
00:37:40.340 Yeah.
00:37:40.740 Yeah, that's the title of life story of everybody who's ever gotten him or herself into up in the eyeballs of credit card debt.
00:37:48.280 It seemed like a good idea if they are still haunting you, those credit card debts.
00:37:53.600 Now, more than ever, you need to be looking to make every good financial decision you can save more, spend less so that you and your family are protected from the economic storm.
00:38:05.820 Honestly, the best thing you can do is get yourself out of debt.
00:38:10.060 And if you have credit cards, oh, my gosh, those things are going to become so incredibly expensive right now.
00:38:17.220 I want you to call American Financing today.

00:38:52.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:38:54.680 Let me give you an update on something.
00:39:13.280 Apparently, Visa, thank goodness, has been slammed by the news that they are updating their category codes to include gun sales.
00:39:22.120 We emailed their people and asked for a statement.
00:39:27.040 They gave us a statement that was ridiculous.
00:39:29.720 So, my executive producer asked for a definition, you know, of a few things and clarity on a few things.
00:39:36.680 Well, their initial statement read, following ISO's decision to establish a new merchant category code, Visa will proceed with next steps while ensuring we protect all legal commerce on the Visa network in accordance with our longstanding rules.
00:39:51.000 So, they clarified, but they just did it in a longer post, but they didn't really say anything.
00:39:59.520 The thing that should stand out to you is the cowardice of Visa and how they are repeatedly blaming the ISO as if they're beholden absolutely to some international standards organization.
00:40:14.720 This goes back to the show we did recently on the United States inching closer and closer to international accounting standards.
00:40:23.400 Do you remember that?
00:40:24.760 New global accounting standards include scope 3 ESG standards following the carbon footprint across the entire supply chain.
00:40:34.320 We found that the leftist dark money group, Arabella, was funding this initiative.
00:40:41.460 Anyway, it's clear now that we are on board with all these international standards and coincidentally all these standards further left-wing agendas.
00:40:52.400 They also, I found interesting, said multiple times that Visa was helping to promote legal transactions.
00:40:58.740 What does that mean?
00:41:00.400 Are firearms soon to be illegal?
00:41:03.140 Let's get down to brass tacks here, Visa.
00:41:06.540 None of your responses alleviate our concerns that these credit card companies are helping to build a gun registry and also block people from buying things that the elites or international elites think we shouldn't have.
00:41:24.520 Your response makes all of this sound worse.
00:41:28.740 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:41:29.920 Our sponsor here on The Blaze is American Financing.
00:41:33.200 Being fiscally responsible is really important if you want to have flexibility and even a little comfort in your life.
00:41:39.560 Sometimes it's not enough on its own.
00:41:42.500 Good news is American Financing can help you bridge the gap between you and financial freedom.
00:41:48.120 I urge you, please, if you have high interest credit card debt, all credit card debt is going to become very high interest soon.
00:41:55.740 And it will crush you.
00:41:57.080 It will just crush you.
00:41:59.040 Please, if you have any equity into your home right now, now is the time to use that.
00:42:05.680 It's better to pay 5% interest and pay those things off than it is to pay 20, 21, 25.
00:42:14.340 God only knows what it could be in the future.
00:42:16.300 American Financing could help you do this.
00:42:18.660 And also, you could skip up to two mortgage payments and close in as little as 10 days.

00:44:30.840 Sandra wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.
00:44:33.340 She says,
00:44:33.680 I was having trouble sleeping for a very long time.
00:44:36.080 All through the night, I would wake up in pain and my joints ate all over pretty much every night.
00:44:42.260 I tried a lot of things.
00:44:43.460 Nothing was working and I was getting pretty desperate.
00:44:46.180 Then I tried Relief Factor.
00:44:47.660 And after a couple of weeks, my pain just started melting away.
00:44:50.860 No more trouble sleeping now.
00:44:52.300 Thank you.
00:44:52.720 Sandra, thank you so much for writing in.
00:44:55.740 And I know when you say you've tried everything, you think you've tried everything.
00:44:59.760 And I know you get to the end of that road where you're like, I just, I'm just, I'm going to live with it.
00:45:04.080 Don't.
00:45:04.540 Please try this.
00:45:05.840 70% of the people who try it go on to order more month after month.
00:45:09.980 It works.
00:45:10.820 Relief Factor hits.
00:45:12.340 It's not a drug, but it hits your inflammation from four different angles.
00:45:17.640 That's why if ibuprofen has never worked for you and it's never worked for me, that's why this may work for you.
00:45:23.400 It hits it in many different ways because all of our bodies are different.
00:45:28.540 Three-week quick start.
00:45:29.620 Try it for three weeks.
00:45:30.640 If it's not working for you within three weeks, stop taking it.

00:45:45.160 Relief Factor, feel the difference.
00:45:48.080 So last night I laid out kind of a bleak look for the future of energy.
00:45:54.920 And I don't think most people understand we don't need just the energy to run things now.
00:46:00.820 We need much more energy to run the technology of the future.
00:46:07.060 And Alex Epstein is with us.
00:46:10.380 He is from the Center of Industrial Progress founder and president and also the author of a book you must read.
00:46:17.680 It's Fossil Fuel.
00:46:18.900 And he's come equipped with some real solutions to our energy problem to be able to stave it off.
00:46:28.020 And really all you need is support from the American people, right?
00:46:32.720 Yeah.
00:46:32.880 I mean, the great thing about energy is there's all the potential to produce low-cost, reliable energy for billions of people in thousands of places.
00:46:41.360 There's no physical resource deficit for doing this, and there's no knowledge deficit.
00:46:46.820 Human beings know how to produce reliable electricity, right?
00:46:49.460 We know how to produce energy on a scale of billions of people.
00:46:52.340 We're just being prohibited from doing it politically, which means that there is a political solution if we are liberated to be able to do it.
00:47:00.640 So we have – I mentioned that in Colorado, I mean, people who have these smart thermostats have said for a while, don't do that.
00:47:09.220 That's a euphemism.
00:47:10.160 Yeah, I know.
00:47:10.700 In Colorado, they lost control of their thermostats, and I mentioned that and said, you know, if your right to touch your thermostat is only worth $25 a year to you, good luck.
00:47:26.260 But people are bashing back saying, well, that's because the coal power plants went down, you know, and it was an emergency at the coal fire plants because coal is just not stable.
00:47:36.980 Yeah, we're really in this Orwellian world, right?
00:47:39.980 I mean, like, the Inflation Act is called the Inflation Reduction Act, freedom is slavery, and coal is unreliable, and solar and wind are reliable, despite the obvious.
00:47:52.640 Yeah, I mean, what they always point to – they did this with the Texas blackouts, too – they'll point to some individual failure of some fossil fuel plant and then say, oh, well, this inherently doesn't work.
00:48:03.780 But we know that we can produce reliable electricity with fossil fuels because we've been doing it for generations, and we've done it in all weather conditions.
00:48:10.620 You can do it when it's really cold, when it's really hot.
00:48:12.800 So you know that if a fossil fuel plant fails, that's just something about the specific situation.
00:48:18.280 That's not the technology.
00:48:19.280 Solar and wind, they do not produce electricity most of the time, and you can't rely on them almost any time.
00:48:26.660 That's the basic nature of them.
00:48:28.460 And part of what happens when you see fossil fuel failures is often they have to account for the intermittency of solar and wind, so they have to cycle up and down or be shut down and restarted more, much more than they would be if they were on their own.
00:48:40.880 Or what happens is they'll get defunded.
00:48:44.280 The way the whole subsidies work, which we just expanded, unfortunately, is that they defund reliable power plants, including things like weatherization, say, for natural gas in Texas.
00:48:53.480 So we know that we can – again, we have all the ability to produce reliable electricity at low cost.
00:48:58.320 We're just not using it because of political factors.
00:49:01.440 Okay.
00:49:01.580 So let's go over your five-point plan.
00:49:04.360 So this is – I call this the energy freedom platform, and I encourage politicians of all parties to adopt this.
00:49:12.180 I mean, unfortunately, right now, Democrats are not being very good in terms of energy.
00:49:16.600 They almost all supported the Inflation Act.
00:49:18.620 I think basically all of them did.
00:49:20.160 And by the way, I played the audio from an activist group that was part of this inflation reduction bill, and they admitted – and they were talking to their own supporters, and they're like, look, it's not about inflation.
00:49:34.180 It's really a green bill, which we all kind of knew if you were paying attention.
00:49:38.720 It's a green bill.
00:49:40.300 It's stuffed with stuff about green energy.
00:49:44.600 Yeah, and we could talk about how – I mean, I consider that a four-step recipe for destroying American energy, basically, because just very quickly.
00:49:51.140 So it involves increasing dependence on unreliable electricity.
00:49:54.360 If you want to destroy American energy, that's a good step one.
00:49:56.860 Step two is add taxes and restrictions to fossil fuels during fossil fuel shortages.
00:50:02.120 That's a good step, too.
00:50:04.640 What were the other steps?
00:50:05.680 I mean, it's so bad.
00:50:06.500 Oh, yeah, increase the power of the EPA to shut down fossil fuel projects.
00:50:10.440 We need more of that, obviously.
00:50:12.280 And then increase the power of environmental justice activists to stop all energy development.
00:50:16.460 And you just have done that through the DOJ now.
00:50:18.860 Yeah, so they have this four-step thing, which if you were trying to destroy American energy, it's hard to think of a better plan.
00:50:24.440 So let's talk about how to improve American energy with the Energy Freedom Platform.
00:50:27.700 So I'll give the five, and then we can go into depth in any one of them.
00:50:31.180 Okay.
00:50:31.260 So number one is liberate responsible development.
00:50:35.500 Number two is end preferences for unreliable electricity.
00:50:41.100 Number three is reform air and water emission standards to incorporate cost-benefit analysis.
00:50:47.460 This is a really important one for EPA stuff.
00:50:49.580 Number four is liberate, is rather reduce emissions long-term through innovation, not through punishing America, through liberating innovation, not through punishing America.
00:51:01.340 And then number five, which I know you'll be sympathetic to, is decriminalize nuclear energy.
00:51:06.540 Oh, my gosh.
00:51:08.320 So we can talk about any of those, but they're all crucial.
00:51:11.060 Let's just take them one by one, real quick.
00:51:14.220 First one.
00:51:14.840 So liberate responsible development.
00:51:18.020 Energy inherently involves developing the world around us, and yet we have an anti-development movement that is setting energy policy and running many of these agencies.
00:51:28.600 So there's opposition to development even in the investment world, but in particular, just all these anti-development policies that are restricting fossil fuel development, nuclear development, et cetera.
00:51:37.960 So these are like ESG is a good example.
00:51:39.960 Well, yeah, ESG is a kind of quasi-political, but if you just look at how difficult it is if you take nuclear, like how difficult it is to start a nuclear plant.
00:51:48.180 You know, it used to take four years, now it takes 16 years.
00:51:51.040 Part of that is you have these anti-development so-called green activists who can stop things on a dime.
00:51:56.180 So we really need our policies that are fundamentally pro-development and that they're responsible development in the sense of they try to stop endangerment.
00:52:05.000 So you don't want to endanger local people or endanger some national treasure, but you can't have the idea that it's wrong to develop nature.
00:52:12.180 And that terrible anti-human idea is at the root of so many of our laws and policies.
00:52:17.300 So if, when I go into the details, if people go to energytalkingpoints.com, you'll see there's a lot of specific policies that need to be reformed that are anti-development right now.
00:52:27.300 All right.
00:52:27.680 Number two.
00:52:28.640 So is end preferences for unreliable electricity.
00:52:33.160 And on that website, there's something called electricity emergency, which goes into the details.
00:52:37.260 But basically right now we do three things.
00:52:39.360 We have mandates for unreliable electricity.
00:52:41.660 We prefer them in that way.
00:52:42.700 Many states have those, like my state of California, unfortunately, has those.
00:52:46.120 We have subsidies, which we just expanded under the Inflation Act, right?
00:52:51.060 So we did that.
00:52:52.420 And then the most insidious that people don't know is that we have very unfair pricing because there is no cost penalty for selling unreliable electricity into the grid.
00:53:02.720 Now you think about that.
00:53:03.420 Imagine you had a car company and you got to charge the same for a car that worked a third of the time and a car that works all the time.
00:53:11.020 Wow.
00:53:11.720 That's how the grid works.
00:53:13.220 So you get the same amount for selling unreliable electricity as reliable electricity.
00:53:17.600 And actually you get more because all the subsidies we have that we just extended.
00:53:21.500 So you actually get paid a premium for selling something that is not nearly as valuable.
00:53:26.300 And sometimes unreliable electricity is of negative value.
00:53:28.740 Sometimes if you have too much electricity, you need to offload it.
00:53:31.880 So if you pay a premium for unreliable electricity, guess what?
00:53:37.780 You get unreliable electricity.
00:53:41.160 Okay, number three.
00:53:42.980 So this has had to do with the air and water emission standards.
00:53:46.320 And so right now, let's look at what the EPA is doing.
00:53:48.560 We have in that article, Electricity Emergency, I talk about they're slated to be 93 gigawatts of coal shutting down in terms of already announced things.
00:53:56.440 That's almost one-tenth of a reliable capacity.
00:53:59.160 That's one-tenth.
00:53:59.820 This is by 2030.
00:54:02.060 But there's also the threat of 92 more.
00:54:04.800 So almost a fifth of a reliable capacity.
00:54:07.340 Like there's a reliability bloodbath that's scheduled to happen.
00:54:11.220 The lion's share of this comes from EPA policies.
00:54:13.440 So it's EPA deliberately trying to do things that will shut down these coal plants, even though, as you've talked about, there's no viable replacement in the pipeline.
00:54:22.020 We have almost no nuclear scheduled, not nearly enough gas.
00:54:25.720 So how does the EPA justify this?
00:54:28.120 Well, one thing is they don't use real cost-benefit analysis when they're making decisions.
00:54:32.620 So they'll say like, hey, wouldn't it be great to have lower emissions?
00:54:35.540 But they don't think about, well, what is the cost of that in terms of what are the costs to human life of an unreliable grid?
00:54:42.420 They're almost incalculable.
00:54:43.780 So the EPA is making these decisions, and they're not giving any consideration to the reliability of the grid.
00:54:49.540 So you need – that's an example of where you need real cost-benefit analysis with these.
00:54:54.040 Are there any honest people on this side?
00:54:58.340 I mean, I don't understand how an honest person can look at it and not say, yeah, but this is going to make things more unreliable.
00:55:05.000 And people will either die from heat stroke or they will die from freezing in the winter.
00:55:09.700 Or, you know, you can't just have an unreliable grid like this.
00:55:14.880 Is there anybody on the other side that is asking these questions that's honest?
00:55:19.960 I think one – I mean, there are some people who are really anti-energy, and so in a sense they're honest, although they hide it from the public.
00:55:26.240 But they just – they want less power.
00:55:27.700 They want to de-industrialize.
00:55:28.960 There's that kind of thing.
00:55:29.520 I think one of the challenges is – I talk about this in Chapter 1 of Fossil Future – we rely on what I call a knowledge system to give us expert knowledge and guidance on all these specialized areas.
00:55:40.120 And what you have is multiple of these specializations are failing at the same time, but each specialization thinks the other is doing its job.
00:55:48.600 So, for instance, the electricity people have been hiding the electricity emergency.
00:55:52.720 They're not acknowledging it.
00:55:54.020 Many of the companies have not been acknowledging it.
00:55:56.580 You talk to them behind the scenes, they'll say, yeah, this is a disaster, but publicly they won't say anything.
00:56:00.820 The regulators are kind of silent, and so the public thinks, oh, there's not that – there's not that big a threat.
00:56:06.720 And then, you know, the EPA people, they'll distort the science about the side effects of coal, and they – but they'll kind of think, oh, yeah, we don't have to worry about reliability because the grid isn't saying that much.
00:56:16.320 So, kind of there's this – there's dishonesty kind of everywhere, but one reinforces the other.
00:56:21.800 I mean, we've got a world that thought legitimately that you could rapidly eliminate fossil fuels by 2050, and it would work really well.
00:56:30.460 Like, this was the mainstream view, and part of it is there's all these false views that are being combined.
00:56:36.160 And people have this idea, well, most people – the experts, so-called – the people we're told are experts, they can't be that wrong.
00:56:44.340 Right.
00:56:44.520 But they can be that wrong in part because what we're told the experts think is usually a massive distortion of what the actual researchers in a field think.
00:56:53.620 Yes.
00:56:54.480 That's happening with global warming all the time.
00:56:56.700 Oh, yeah, of course.
00:56:57.360 I mean, it's the idea that it's – the world is going to end if it gets, you know, one or two degrees warmer on a planet where far more people die of cold than of heat.
00:57:05.920 The researchers don't think that, but that gets distorted by what I call our knowledge system to make it, oh, it's an apocalypse, and you have to take a crash emergency action and destroy all your energy.
00:57:15.300 And then the planet will be nice to you, and life will be great.
00:57:19.100 Give me the fourth one.
00:57:20.160 So, the fourth one is reduce emissions long-term.
00:57:25.580 It's very important.
00:57:26.140 It has to be long-term because there's no short-term reducing of emissions.
00:57:28.500 That's the pipe dream.
00:57:29.400 So, it's reduce CO2 emissions long-term by liberating innovation, not punishing America.
00:57:35.800 When did we lose that in America?
00:57:38.260 Lose which one?
00:57:38.980 The idea that we innovate our way out of problems.
00:57:43.680 Instead, we're just dismantling everything.
00:57:48.060 Instead of saying, you know, hey, we've got a food storage problem.
00:57:54.060 Somebody comes up with the refrigerator.
00:57:56.460 You know what I mean?
00:57:57.540 We are already seeing technology that is – we have reduced greenhouse gases better than anybody else, and a lot of it is because of new technology.
00:58:09.140 But we just dismiss that.
00:58:11.120 I think there are a couple things going on.
00:58:12.360 And so, one is this idea that CO2 emissions are an emergency, and when you think of something as an emergency, you need to get rid of it immediately.
00:58:19.860 And if that's your view, the only thing you can do is just massively destroy human life.
00:58:24.640 I mean, that's the only way you can do it.
00:58:26.280 To reduce emissions now in a world where fossil fuels are 80% of the world's energy, in a world that needs vastly more energy, 3 billion people using less electricity per person than one of our refrigerators,
00:58:36.320 like the world is going to be using more fossil fuels for a while.
00:58:39.080 So, if you think of it as an emergency, the world is going to end, then you are going to do these crash programs and accept these terrible consequences,
00:58:46.320 which we're just beginning to see because we've only reduced fossil fuels a little bit compared to what has been asked for by World Economic Forum and all these other people.
00:58:55.580 So, one is this emergency mindset is really bad, and it's not justified.
00:59:00.300 We're safer than ever from climate.
00:59:02.280 CO2 emissions have a warming impact and a greening impact.
00:59:05.080 It's not a catastrophic impact.
00:59:06.980 If you want to lower emissions, you have to think of it as a long-term thing.
00:59:10.060 That's the only moral way, and it's the only practical way.
00:59:12.600 China and India are not going to lower their emissions until there's a cost-effective alternative.
00:59:17.660 Now, the Greens say they want cost-effective alternatives.
00:59:20.440 They say they want solar and wind, but notice that their approach is to first restrict fossil fuels.
00:59:25.760 I know you've talked about it, and then promise a replacement.
00:59:29.040 That's not how markets work.
00:59:30.360 That's not how freedom works.
00:59:31.560 That's not how anything of common sense works.
00:59:34.160 You don't say, hey, I know all the machines in the hospital are keeping your husband alive,
00:59:40.220 but we're going to try something that's never been done before,
00:59:42.920 so we're going to turn off all of those machines and then hope that something works.
00:59:48.040 That's insane.
00:59:49.440 But that has been the policy.
00:59:51.640 Part of it has been disguised.
00:59:53.660 So they've said, to take your analogy, they've said the equivalent of, hey, we have this amazing
00:59:57.500 new machine.
00:59:58.220 We're developing green machines, right?
01:00:00.320 But what they didn't say is their main policy is shutting down the machines that work.
01:00:04.600 Like, what did Biden do first, right?
01:00:06.700 Shuts down the Keystone XL pipeline, bans leasing on federal lands.
01:00:11.160 He didn't come up with some new energy innovation and prove it.
01:00:14.320 He shut down what was working.
01:00:17.100 And that's the huge problem.
01:00:19.020 And so the approach has to be, you liberate innovation so you get things like cost-effective
01:00:23.400 nuclear, but you don't dictate inferior alternatives and call that innovation.
01:00:27.800 Unfortunately, that's what passes for innovation today.
01:00:29.900 And that's what the whole Inflation Act is about, is about mandating or coercing us to
01:00:34.580 using these things that don't work.
01:00:36.100 All right, back in just a second, in one minute.
01:00:38.480 Now, this is the five-step platform.
01:00:42.000 However, we need your help on this.
01:00:45.500 And it's a real thing that could make a significant difference and turn things around for us.
01:00:54.620 We'll give it to you in just a few minutes.
01:00:55.840 Inflation, hyperinflation, recession, depression, the Great Reset.
01:01:01.380 Man, if I read one more story out of Europe talking about, well, there is a possibility of nuclear war.
01:01:07.400 The world has gone insane finding some security and a safe place to hide.
01:01:16.860 Look, wherever you are is where you're supposed to be.
01:01:20.500 And you just have to figure out how to navigate and protect your family the best way you can in case of a catastrophic,
01:01:28.000 oh, I don't know, energy crisis.
01:01:30.540 My Patriot Supply is taking $250 off their three-month emergency food kit.
01:01:35.260 Do you know what the price of groceries and the shortage of groceries would have been like
01:01:39.080 if we hadn't have had St. Biden step to the plate and avert this tragedy of the Amtrak strike?
01:01:48.760 You might need emergency food in situations that you cannot see coming.
01:01:54.980 Please go to preparewithglenn.com.
01:01:56.980 Grab your three-month emergency food kit for $250 off the regular price,
01:02:01.300 $250 off today by going to preparewithglenn.com.
01:02:06.480 Preparewithglenn.com.
01:02:07.940 Ten seconds. Station ID.
01:02:18.780 So you are working with like a hundred different legislative offices, correct?
01:02:24.040 Yeah, to various degrees.
01:02:24.960 So two years ago, I was very frustrated by I was having success with the public and I was having success in the corporate world,
01:02:31.420 but the political world was just totally ignorant of the kind of pro-human, pro-freedom energy thinking I had been developing.
01:02:38.740 And I figured out like the thing I could do was I needed to figure out how to give them messaging and policy in a way that was useful for them.
01:02:45.520 So I started this website, energytalkingpoints.com.
01:02:48.580 Like everything on that can be fit in a tweet.
01:02:51.120 So it's like really efficient ways of explaining pro-freedom views.
01:02:54.940 If you go there, there's like probably thousands of individual talking points, all really well referenced.
01:02:59.720 And then I found that I got demand for people to get custom help.
01:03:03.020 So I created something called Energy Talking Points on Demand where I'd have bi-weekly briefings, and it's just with high-level offices.
01:03:09.360 So it's congressional offices, U.S. Senate offices, and governor's offices.
01:03:13.900 And so we have about 300 staffers who are part of it, over 100 offices.
01:03:17.820 And increasingly, I'm meeting with the elected officials themselves.
01:03:20.620 I spoke to a group of 20 last time I was in D.C.
01:03:22.720 I'm going to D.C. next week.
01:03:24.460 And what I found is there's a real appetite for this because many of these offices want to be pro-energy and pro-freedom.
01:03:30.060 They have no idea.
01:03:30.420 But they didn't have the messaging to refute all the myths and also clarity on what to do going forward.
01:03:36.640 And that's why I developed the Energy Freedom Platform was the clarity on what to do going forward.
01:03:41.280 So what I've been encouraging them to do is, hey, you can – this is a blueprint.
01:03:44.560 You can win on these issues, and you can do something really good.
01:03:47.700 So say Republicans – I'm not political, really, but let's say Republicans right now are much more pro-energy.
01:03:53.080 If you guys take over Congress, you need to advocate something positive.
01:03:56.620 You can't just – once you take over, you can't just react to negatives.
01:03:59.620 There's a lot of reacting to negatives and not a clear having positive.
01:04:03.440 So I would ask your listeners, if they like this, it's really, really simple.
01:04:08.100 Just call your office.
01:04:09.860 Call your office.
01:04:11.040 Oh, you're going to say something?
01:04:11.940 I've got about 20 seconds before we break.
01:04:14.700 Oh, sorry.
01:04:15.120 Just say, talk to Alex Epstein.
01:04:17.600 Give them my email, alex at alexepstein.com.
01:04:19.840 Just tell the office to email me, and I will set up a call with them, and I'll tell them all about how to use the Energy Freedom Platform.
01:04:24.880 More on this in just a second.
01:04:26.380 Stand by.
01:04:27.860 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:04:29.280 It really doesn't matter how much money you have or, you know, your identity is valuable in and of itself.
01:04:37.820 It doesn't matter.
01:04:39.020 You should be protected from cybercriminals at all times, and cybercriminals don't just take what you have right now.
01:04:44.500 They also take your credibility.
01:04:46.020 They rob you from a future of good credit while they're cleaning you out in the present.
01:04:51.700 There are also stories about it in the papers every single day.
01:04:55.640 You will see more and more identities taken by the underworld.
01:05:01.700 It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives.
01:05:06.180 Everything we do basically is online, so we need somebody standing guard.
01:05:11.040 No one can protect and prevent all identity theft and protect for everything that could go wrong.
01:05:17.920 However, LifeLock is your best bet.
01:05:21.540 LifeLock by Norton.
01:05:23.340 They have not only preventative measures to keep you safe, but access to restoration teams if you do end up having your information hacked into.

01:06:00.180 Everybody in the last 24 or 48 hours has started to freak out about this strike of Amtrak.
01:06:07.380 Oh my gosh, I have been so worried.
01:06:09.660 How is the president going to reach out to, I don't know, the unions, which he is in bed with and are responsible for everything,
01:06:20.880 and Amtrak, which he has been pouring money to and wants to expand Amtrak.
01:06:27.280 How is he going to reach out to the two sides and get a deal just before the election?
01:06:33.000 This is ridiculous to worry about.
01:06:35.440 Last night in just some shocking news, the president, in very late hours, might have been 4.30 in the afternoon,
01:06:45.800 got out of bed and he came to the table and he said, you guys got to work this out.
01:06:50.560 And so now we miraculously have been saved.
01:06:54.620 That's all theater.
01:06:57.840 What you should worry about is what this country is doing, what our government and administration are doing right now to fuel and energy.
01:07:07.980 Alex Epstein is with us.
01:07:09.960 He is the author of Fossil Future and also the Center for Industrial Progress founder and president.
01:07:15.780 He has been telling us about a website that you must go to, energytalkingpoints.com, energytalkingpoints.com,
01:07:26.240 and also asking for your help to call your senators and your congressmen and just flood them with this request.
01:07:35.420 Will you please reach out to Alex Epstein and meet with him on his five-point energy platform?
01:07:47.100 Alex Epstein, and you can, the congressmen or the senator's offices can reach him at, I can give the email address.
01:07:55.880 Please do, yes.
01:07:56.740 Alex at alexepstein.com.
01:08:00.980 Do that now.
01:08:03.200 Write that email right now.
01:08:05.840 Alex at alexepstein.com is the email address you send to your congressman or your senator.
01:08:14.040 And please flood them.
01:08:16.180 That makes a big difference.
01:08:17.200 Thank you.
01:08:17.620 So tell me, give me or America a look at what is really coming if we don't turn this around.
01:08:26.540 I think people look at Europe now and say, gee, they're buying firewood.
01:08:29.540 Firewood, that's a real crisis.
01:08:32.360 This is like a one on the Richter scale on what's coming.
01:08:40.040 So I think the two things are there is a lot of hardship already that we would consider intolerable
01:08:46.600 and that this hardship has come from just 1% or 2% of the agenda being implemented.
01:08:52.640 So I don't think there's enough familiarity in the U.S. with what's been happening in Europe.
01:08:58.720 And there's the consumer side and the industrial side, and both of them are really, really bad.
01:09:03.880 I mean, you see things like skyrocketing heating bills.
01:09:07.080 You see this with, I mean, it's a quasi-consumer, like a restaurant saying, hey, you know, our bills have gone up by a factor of four.
01:09:13.120 There was one that went viral on Twitter.
01:09:14.580 I'm just like, hey, we have a pub.
01:09:16.760 How are we going to pay a bill of, you know, 62,000 pounds versus I think it was 12,000 pounds or something like that.
01:09:22.280 You're seeing that maybe the scariest is the industrial side to me.
01:09:27.500 I mean, the consumer side is scary because the world is too cold a place despite people think it's too hot.
01:09:32.260 Far more people die of cold than of heat.
01:09:33.840 And so in Europe, what you have, you know, northern latitudes, you have the winter.
01:09:38.220 And winter is a visceral threat to people in Europe right now.
01:09:43.160 I mean, just think about how embarrassing this is.
01:09:48.120 We're human beings.
01:09:49.860 We understand how to make it more.
01:09:51.980 But I was just there and, you know, I was in Florence and they just had, you know, I don't know how many days, 20, 20 plus days of 100 plus temperatures.
01:10:05.260 And they don't really have air conditioning.
01:10:08.120 I mean, their air conditioning sucks already, but they didn't they couldn't even turn it on.
01:10:12.240 And all they talked about was, you know, the climate is changing.
01:10:15.940 They weren't talking about, yeah, but how about the power situation?
01:10:22.960 At least the people I spoke to, they would recognize it, but they separated the two.
01:10:29.560 They thought they saw energy as as what's fueling their cars and going to heat their house.
01:10:37.480 But they didn't seem to tie that together with the summer somehow or another.
01:10:43.940 It's it's ominous that so much of the focus with climate is on, you know, manmade climate impact and not on what we can do about climate danger as such, in part because whatever you believe about manmade climate impact, you have no immediate control over this issue.
01:11:01.620 So you see, like in California, there's this focus on, oh, my gosh, climate change is making these wildfires worse.
01:11:07.080 Whatever is happening there, we know how to prevent dangerous forest fires.
01:11:10.720 We can do logging, we can do brush clearing, we can do controlled burns and those we can actually do.
01:11:16.940 Versus so there's this whole can't do attitude when it comes to climate.
01:11:20.920 And I think it's because the green religion believes it's wrong to impact climate.
01:11:24.520 And so their whole thing is, let's stop sinning instead of let's solve the problem.
01:11:28.640 And it's the same with air conditioning.
01:11:30.040 Like if it's too hot or too cold, learn how to control temperature.
01:11:34.080 This is something human beings have figured out already.
01:11:37.240 And Europe has been suffering for decades because they have inadequate air conditioning.
01:11:41.360 So what is it going to look like for Europe?
01:11:44.420 Because they just changed their standards or announced last night, I think, in the EU that they're going to they're going to overhaul the entire energy sector, which sounded scary as hell to me.
01:11:56.060 I'm like, wait a minute.
01:11:57.020 Wait a minute.
01:11:57.520 You're going to do what when you do that?
01:11:59.780 What's coming for them and coming for us?
01:12:02.180 What does the world look like in 2030 if we stay on this road?
01:12:05.940 Well, yeah.
01:12:06.140 So there's a question of so right now we've had, you know, there's been this broad green energy movement, which is primarily, as we discussed about, it's really an anti movement.
01:12:14.780 So it's not really we have these amazing new technologies.
01:12:17.180 It's we're going to restrict and limit everything that actually works and then promise to replace it.
01:12:22.720 So it's primarily anti fossil fuel, anti nuclear movement.
01:12:26.980 And the way I think of it is they've just had one or two or three percent success.
01:12:30.260 So they've talked about let's rapidly eliminate it.
01:12:32.580 But fossil fuel use is still growing around the world.
01:12:35.200 And even in Europe, it hasn't shrunk that much.
01:12:37.740 But even shrinking that just a little bit, it's a it's devastation.
01:12:42.900 I mean, it's obviously dependence on hostile foreign powers.
01:12:46.160 It's much higher consumer prices.
01:12:48.180 And then I was mentioning industry, you know, you're seeing like fertilizer factories shut down.
01:12:53.060 And it's it's the way to think of energy is this is the industry that powers every other industry.
01:12:57.300 So the price when the price of energy goes up, the price of everything goes up.
01:13:01.820 So when energy is unaffordable, everything starts to become unaffordable and we're seeing this play out.
01:13:06.800 So you just think about what happens just with all the energy necessary for fertilizer.
01:13:10.300 At some point, you can't afford fertilizer.
01:13:12.380 If you can't afford fertilizer, that makes food more expensive.
01:13:15.460 And if you can't afford if energy is too expensive, it's expensive to run the tractors and all the machines involved.
01:13:20.980 So you just you have these increasing prices.
01:13:24.240 And then at the same time, these things are never smooth, particularly because the government is involved.
01:13:28.840 There's one thing price is going up in a free market where people adjust.
01:13:31.900 But here it's it's really it's a borderline fascist control where they just and that's the scary thing about we have this grand plan.
01:13:38.640 That's not what you want to hear from government during a thing.
01:13:41.640 You want to hear like what the supply chain crisis you want to hear.
01:13:44.180 Hey, we're going to liberate the supply chain, not we have a new plan for Joe Biden or his equivalent to control it.
01:13:50.320 So it's this combination of scarcity of energy managed by fascism instead of freedom.
01:13:56.080 And that leads to all sorts of dislocations and disruptions and and tragedies.
01:14:01.680 I was standing in my backyard and and I thought about my water bill.
01:14:08.640 And I thought, you know, in California, they're shutting the water down.
01:14:13.720 I looked at my house and I thought, what new standards are they going to come up with?
01:14:18.620 What new taxes are they going to come up with?
01:14:21.300 They are really going to price all of us out of everything.
01:14:25.400 When they say, you know, by 2030, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
01:14:30.300 This is the way that happens.
01:14:31.800 And it's, you know, the appeal of the you'll own nothing is maybe, oh, well, you can rent everything cheaply.
01:14:38.520 But then, of course, it's not it's not we're going to leave you free and then you can decide what to rent things like.
01:14:44.160 I don't own a car.
01:14:44.900 I don't even drive a car.
01:14:45.780 Right.
01:14:45.920 I ride Uber.
01:14:46.540 I have somebody drive me like that's great.
01:14:48.520 I'm happy not owning a car.
01:14:50.280 But that's a free market decision.
01:14:53.100 What you see, like the Colorado thing is a microcosm of what they have in mind, which is you control nothing.
01:14:58.880 That's really it's really the control.
01:15:01.300 And that's why there's this movement that's actually more fascist than than socialist.
01:15:06.020 It's not it's like the government gets you sometimes fake own things, but the government gets to control it.
01:15:11.180 So it's like in some way you own your home, but you can't decide how much to heat or cool your home.
01:15:15.960 Thank you for all of your hard work over the years and what you're doing.
01:15:20.840 Again, I want you to call your senator or your congressman or write to them and tell them, please, please talk to Alex Epstein and give him their web address or their his email address.
01:15:36.100 Alex at Alex Epstein, E-P-S-T-E-I-N dot com.
01:15:42.980 And just say, can you meet with them?
01:15:44.700 Just at least get their their five point plan.
01:15:48.000 Talk to him.
01:15:48.860 He'll meet with anybody for free.
01:15:51.080 He's not into, you know, making the money off of any meetings.
01:15:54.400 He'll meet with anybody in Congress or the Senate.
01:15:59.100 And they need to.
01:16:00.840 The Republicans must have a platform.
01:16:04.380 This is a good platform for energy.
01:16:07.120 They should just adopt this and say, look, when we get in charge, we're going to do these five things.
01:16:13.780 The problem always happens when everybody wants their name on something and they come up with 400 different platforms.
01:16:21.420 And then what do they do?
01:16:22.800 They just keep chiseling down and chiseling down until you get the weakest of platforms.
01:16:27.380 And everybody gets behind that one.
01:16:30.080 Please.
01:16:30.660 They need a strong platform.
01:16:32.200 Here's five things that they can do.
01:16:35.320 Get them to adopt this platform.
01:16:38.080 At least get them to get on the phone with Alex Epstein.
01:16:41.980 Alex Epstein dot com.
01:16:45.000 Call your senators and your congressmen and tell them to contact him.

01:17:19.920 There used to be a time in this country when concepts like the customer is always right.
01:17:23.960 It shaped the way that we did business where companies weren't ideologically captured in the stranglehold of woke ism and fascism.
01:17:32.880 Taking care of customers needs was more important than finding ways to show your leftist credentials or your favorite party in office and in power.
01:17:43.260 Those days are mostly gone, at least for now.
01:17:45.480 But every once in a while, you look in the right place, you'll find a company that still wants to do business the right way, the American way, and believes in the things that made us made our motto true.

01:18:49.260 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:19:00.360 Well, here's some shocking news.
01:19:02.960 Facebook has been spying on the private messages, private messages and data of American users and reporting them to the FBI if they express anti-government or anti-authority sentiments.
01:19:17.540 Or question the 2020 election is according to a source in the Department of Justice that Facebook has been turning you in if you've even questioned the election.
01:19:33.640 I wonder if that has anything to do with the other fun story about Facebook today that they have lost 60 percent of their value as a company in the last year.
01:19:44.780 Wow.
01:19:45.480 Yeah.
01:19:45.720 Good.
01:19:47.140 I'd like to help.
01:19:47.840 Yeah.
01:19:48.200 Lose some more.
01:19:49.100 Me, too.
01:19:49.660 Under the FBI collaboration operation, somebody at Facebook red flagged the supposed subversive private messages over the past 19 months and transmitted in redacted form to the domestic terrorism operational unit at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.
01:20:07.340 without a subpoena.
01:20:09.020 It was done outside the legal process and without probable cause, said one of the sources.
01:20:16.300 Facebook provides the FBI with private conversations which are protected by the First Amendment without any subpoena.
01:20:22.680 The private messages have been farmed out as leads to the FBI field offices around the country, which subsequently requested subpoenas from the partner U.S.
01:20:33.600 attorney's office in their district to officially obtain the private conversations that Facebook had already shown them.
01:20:39.120 But when the targeted Facebook users were investigated by agents in a local FBI field office, sometimes using covert surveillance techniques, nothing criminal or violent turned up.
01:20:50.780 What a surprise.
01:20:54.200 So they are surveilling you, sometimes using covert surveillance techniques.
01:21:02.280 The FBI.
01:21:03.480 This is what they're spending their money on.
01:21:07.960 And this is what Facebook is doing to you.
01:21:13.200 Ephraim Zimbalist Jr.
01:21:14.760 Has to be spinning in his grave right now.
01:21:16.400 He especially junior, not senior.
01:21:18.940 Right.
01:21:19.380 But junior.
01:21:20.200 Yeah, absolutely.
01:21:21.700 Spinning in his grave.
01:21:23.040 This is unbelievable.
01:21:25.560 Facebook users whose private communications Facebook has red flagged as domestic terrorism for the FBI were all conservative right wing individuals.
01:21:32.780 They were gun toting, red blooded Americans who were angry after the election and shooting off their mouths and talking about staging protests, staging protests.
01:21:41.960 When is it a problem to spout off that you're angry and stage a protest?
01:21:49.160 There was nothing criminal, nothing about violence and nothing about nothing about massacring or assassinating.
01:21:56.420 Anyone said the FBI DOJ informant.
01:22:01.500 As soon as the subpoena was requested, within an hour, Facebook sent back gigabytes of data and photos.
01:22:10.300 It was ready to go.
01:22:11.880 They were waiting for that legal process so they could send it.
01:22:16.100 Oh, my gosh.
01:22:18.700 Isn't that something that Zuckerberg denies?
01:22:21.320 Like, emphatically that they don't do that.
01:22:25.760 That your information is safe with them.
01:22:29.760 Oh, yeah.
01:22:30.220 And I absolutely believe that.
01:22:31.600 Yeah.
01:22:31.900 By the way, in a statement from Facebook, these claims are false.
01:22:35.780 Okay.
01:22:36.140 They reflect a misunderstanding of how our systems protect people from harm and how we engage with law enforcement.
01:22:41.520 We carefully scrutinize all government requests for users' information to make sure they're legally valid and narrowly tailored.
01:22:47.820 And we often push back.
01:22:49.400 We respond to legal requests for information in accordance with applicable law and terms we provide notice to users whenever permitted.
01:22:57.060 Uh-huh.
01:22:57.300 And then we send the information directly to the FBI.
01:23:00.120 Uh-huh.
01:23:00.760 Uh-huh.
01:23:01.720 Wow.
01:23:04.080 The Glenn Back Program.
01:23:05.960 So large asset managers are using your money to advance their toxic social and political agendas.
01:23:11.500 They tell American companies to drill less and frack less.
01:23:15.220 But here's the good news.
01:23:16.340 This is your money, not theirs.
01:23:18.020 That's why Strive recently launched a new U.S. Energy Index Fund traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
01:23:24.680 It's called DRILL, D-R-L-L.
01:23:27.400 DRILL.
01:23:28.120 Strive mandates that U.S. Energy companies drill more, frack more, do whatever allows them to be the most profitable over the long run.
01:23:36.160 The bigger they get, the more powerful their voice will be.

01:24:59.600 Hello, America.
01:25:00.840 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:25:02.620 I've got some good news for you.
01:25:05.580 I know.
01:25:06.480 Right?
01:25:07.560 What could it possibly be?
01:25:09.220 I have it in 60 seconds.
01:25:11.240 First, let me tell you about Mike Lindell.
01:25:13.500 He learned a very powerful lesson this week, and that is, I think, never go to Hardee's, because, I mean, maybe that's why the FBI.
01:25:19.700 No, you know why the FBI went after him?
01:25:22.820 Is because he was questioning the voting machines.
01:25:25.440 They say he might be charged with conspiracy, harming a government computer, I think that's what it is, or trying to access a government computer and some other ridiculous charge.
01:25:40.080 Here's why he was really hassled in the line of Hardee's by the FBI, a SWAT team.
01:25:47.620 He likes President Trump.
01:25:50.720 That's why.
01:25:51.580 That's why.
01:25:53.060 So, may I just suggest, I could tell you about all of his amazing products or something, may I just suggest, these guys are trying to destroy him, put him out of business any way they can.
01:26:04.320 He's got great sheets.
01:26:05.580 He's got great slippers, slides, and sandals.
01:26:09.880 They're fantastic.
01:26:11.920 He's got great pillows.

01:26:34.840 Well, I have some good news.
01:26:37.080 Let's see.
01:26:38.160 America's struggling under Biden's inflation.
01:26:40.260 No.
01:26:42.340 Democratic senator says it's a call to arms against.
01:26:49.160 No, not that one.
01:26:52.520 Congressman Tim Ryan claims kill MAGA movement comment.
01:26:55.940 Was it?
01:26:56.160 No, it's not that one.
01:26:58.280 Hang on just a second.
01:26:59.320 Oh, here.
01:27:00.020 No, it's not this one either.
01:27:02.200 Oh, here it is.
01:27:04.160 Sweden.
01:27:04.640 Now, may I remind you who Sweden is?
01:27:11.220 Sweden is an exceptional place because Sweden, Sweden during World War II helped so many people,
01:27:20.180 helped so many people escape the Nazis, et cetera, et cetera.
01:27:23.800 And they call Fulcum, which is the people's home.
01:27:29.880 That's what they call them.
01:27:30.820 It's a paradise.
01:27:32.280 It's the people's home.
01:27:33.120 And they, besides offering incredible levels of taxation and even incredible levels of spending,
01:27:40.940 even for Western Europe, they are the gold standard of welcoming everyone.
01:27:49.020 Well, they had a surprising election.
01:27:52.760 Not only did the Social Democrat-led alliance fail to win its customary majority,
01:27:59.740 the right-wing alliance is now radically altered as well.
01:28:04.360 It may still be fronted by the center-right moderates,
01:28:07.960 but the largest component now is the hard-right Sweden Democrats.
01:28:12.480 The margin between the left and right blocks may be as tight as a single seat, but this is huge.
01:28:21.960 As recently as 2018, the Sweden Democrats were beyond the pale.
01:28:27.500 The problem wasn't only that, like most of Europe's new right parties,
01:28:31.660 they originated on a neo-fascist fringe in the 1980s.
01:28:38.800 Their leader, Jimmy, I don't know, Ackinson, or what is the A with the circle above it?
01:28:45.460 I don't even know.
01:28:46.580 Anyway, some Swedish name, who moved them to the center,
01:28:51.460 also alienated the moderates by speaking out so bluntly about immigration, Islam, and crime.
01:28:57.340 This is 2018, and they got the third largest share of votes in 2018,
01:29:03.580 and that led the Social Democrats to keep going.
01:29:08.400 Well, Mr. Ackinson, whatever, and the Sweden Democrats, they were all painted as racist.
01:29:18.480 Yeah.
01:29:20.420 So Sweden used to be notoriously safe.
01:29:23.920 It was exceptional in all ways, and today it is still exceptional, just in a different way.
01:29:33.300 Sweden now has the highest number of reported rapes per capita.
01:29:39.380 In 2021, according to Sweden's National Council for Crime Prevention,
01:29:43.320 Sweden had the second highest number of deadly shootings per capita.
01:29:46.780 Just after Croatia, 10 years ago, the annual survey, Society, Opinion, and Media found that law and order
01:29:55.840 was the Swedes' lowest priority.
01:29:58.440 This year, it's their top priority at 41%.
01:30:01.580 Next comes health care.
01:30:04.200 Huh.
01:30:05.080 Health care is a problem now in Sweden.
01:30:07.900 Wait, but the government pays for everything.
01:30:10.220 I know, and it worked when you were working with this all-white, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, homogenous,
01:30:18.660 little, teeny country where everybody thought alike and worked alike.
01:30:23.780 Now, you've got, they took more immigrants than anyone else from the Middle East,
01:30:30.640 and they were like, yeah, sure, they will like our lifestyle.
01:30:34.140 It turns out, no, they don't.
01:30:35.840 They don't.
01:30:37.500 And now they can't pay for their health care, their insurance, and immigration was at 31%,
01:30:46.560 and all of the issues are cascades of immigration.
01:30:52.140 So, it looks like Sweden is coming to a new dance, saying, you know what, what you guys are doing doesn't work.
01:31:03.240 Hopefully, Sweden will stay centered on common sense and not go to the fascistic side of the European right.
01:31:16.900 It's our left.
01:31:18.220 It's fascism and socialism is our left.
01:31:21.080 By the way, some more good news.
01:31:24.320 You know, Murkowski thought she was pulling a quick one because of the, what do they call it, the preference voting?
01:31:33.240 The rank choice, right?
01:31:35.120 Mm-hmm.
01:31:35.960 And she thought she was going to win, and now it looks like, nope, uh-uh.
01:31:41.920 Some of the Republicans that were on part of that rank choice have dropped out,
01:31:46.380 and a Democrat dropped out and endorsed the Republican leader.
01:31:53.440 Wow.
01:31:54.320 Wouldn't that be great to get rid of Lisa Murkowski finally?
01:31:57.800 Oh, yeah.
01:31:58.260 Oh, and there's no reason for a state like Alaska, which is, you know, a solid red state, to have a person like Lisa Murkowski.
01:32:09.200 No.
01:32:09.280 You can understand it in Maine.
01:32:11.260 You can't understand it in Alaska.
01:32:13.480 So, how do you say her name?
01:32:14.600 Kelly Tashikbaka?
01:32:17.560 Is that right?
01:32:18.160 Tashikbaka?
01:32:19.080 I'd have to look at it.
01:32:20.100 Here's...
01:32:21.260 It looks like Tashikbaka.
01:32:23.680 Oh, yeah.
01:32:24.480 Shibaka.
01:32:25.160 Shibaka.
01:32:25.560 Okay.
01:32:26.360 So, Kelly Shibaka is the frontrunner now that could be the next senator from Alaska,
01:32:36.340 which would be fantastic.
01:32:40.000 By the way, why is it if the MAGA Republicans are the scariest Republicans ever to walk the earth?
01:32:48.260 Why is the Democratic Party spending so much money to help elect MAGA Republicans?
01:32:57.660 You know, it's like, I would not...
01:32:59.640 I would say, hey, Nazis, scary.
01:33:02.820 And I wouldn't put my money hoping that the American people would elect these Nazis.
01:33:11.440 That would be insanity.
01:33:12.740 What if they win and they're Nazis?
01:33:18.760 Why is the Democratic Party spending so much money on MAGA?
01:33:23.360 If they think that it's just because, oh, well, they're not going to win.
01:33:27.340 We'll be able to beat that one.
01:33:28.960 Really?
01:33:29.940 Okay.
01:33:30.960 All right.
01:33:31.520 You should call some people over in Sweden.
01:33:34.000 You know what I'm saying?
01:33:34.440 There's no way.
01:33:36.840 If you really believed what they say they believe, there's no way you take that chance.
01:33:39.860 There's not a chance.
01:33:40.680 They can't believe what they say they believe.
01:33:41.600 Mitt Romney was the devil.
01:33:43.840 And now...
01:33:44.920 Oh, they love him.
01:33:45.720 Yeah.
01:33:46.340 And then it's Donald Trump is the devil.
01:33:50.020 And then when Donald Trump is out of the way, it will be the next guy.
01:33:53.980 Ron DeSantis.
01:33:54.240 George Bush.
01:33:55.100 Remember when he was the devil?
01:33:56.380 Oh, he was the devil.
01:33:57.020 He was Satan himself.
01:33:58.080 And now Michelle Obama claims, oh, I just love him to death.
01:34:04.440 I love that George W. Bush.
01:34:07.260 Again, I want you to ask yourself this question.
01:34:09.640 You know, earlier this week, I went over a list of good and evil.
01:34:14.320 I want to give that list again.
01:34:15.700 Remind me after the break.
01:34:17.360 Here, I just want to ask you, truth or fiction?
01:34:20.560 Is this true or false?
01:34:22.440 And it's really easy.
01:34:25.360 Philadelphia DA.
01:34:27.240 Now, this is Fetterman backs this district attorney.
01:34:32.480 Okay.
01:34:32.580 The Philadelphia DA.
01:34:35.600 Have you seen Philadelphia lately?
01:34:39.800 Luckily, I haven't been anywhere near there.
01:34:42.660 But I have seen the streets for videos and everything else of Philadelphia.
01:34:47.580 I understand it's beautiful this time of year.
01:34:49.200 Just as the dead body chalk outlines start to be washed away by the fall, rains.
01:34:54.120 Oh, that's really nice.
01:34:55.500 Beautiful.
01:34:55.600 So, the Philly DA said, it's not true that there's any kind of crime spike in Philadelphia.
01:35:03.060 Oh.
01:35:04.120 Is that demonstrably true or false?
01:35:10.140 Make your decision.
01:35:11.880 And no excuses.
01:35:13.600 Make your decision.
01:35:14.940 You're either.
01:35:15.460 It's either a lie or it is true.
01:35:18.060 There's nothing in between lie or true.
01:35:21.980 If it's true, great.
01:35:23.560 You're with the right guy.
01:35:24.340 If it's a lie, what are you doing?
01:35:27.920 Okay.
01:35:29.260 Democratic candidate.
01:35:30.780 Senate candidate Mandela Barnes said, police don't prevent crimes from happening.
01:35:41.240 True or false?
01:35:44.080 How about this one?
01:35:46.380 Kamala Harris.
01:35:47.400 We're seeing progress in bringing prices down.
01:35:52.720 True or false?
01:35:55.540 These are all just from yesterday.
01:35:58.140 How about this one?
01:36:01.540 Stacey Abrams.
01:36:03.100 I've never denied I lost an election.
01:36:09.940 True or false?
01:36:13.380 No wordsmithing.
01:36:14.820 No word games.
01:36:16.740 True.
01:36:17.400 True or false?
01:36:21.180 When you are looking at, and I do this every day, in fact, we probably should.
01:36:25.460 When you look at statements from the leadership of our country, and I'll do this with the Republicans as well, if they're lying to you, there's a problem.
01:36:39.720 I've been thinking, and not a problem with the country.
01:36:43.400 There's a problem with you.
01:36:44.520 If you're voting for known liars.
01:36:47.480 If you're accepting these incredible lies.
01:36:52.420 There's a problem with you, there's a problem with you, and you've got to stop.
01:36:55.480 You've got to stop.
01:36:58.880 I have been a supporter of the Article 5 Convention of States.
01:37:05.340 I've been a pretty big supporter, vocal supporter.
01:37:08.800 I'm reversing that today.
01:37:12.480 Because after some real thought and prayer, we are not the people to open up this sacred document.
01:37:26.540 We are not the people.
01:37:30.280 That was a God-inspired document.
01:37:33.860 That was divinely written, and you can read it from I don't know how many founders.
01:37:39.720 Benjamin Franklin even said that.
01:37:41.600 The very hand of God was involved in the writing of that document.
01:37:46.940 Do you believe that we could send delegates to a convention today that would have that kind of inspiration?
01:37:57.700 That when they got to an impasse, somebody would be there like Ben Franklin that would say, let's pause and all go to church and pray.
01:38:08.100 And they didn't politic.
01:38:09.920 They prayed.
01:38:10.940 I am not for opening that constitution anymore because we are not the people.
01:38:22.680 When we are the people, I'll be for it again.
01:38:27.160 When we have demonstrated our humility and our obedience to God, and I'm afraid it's just going to take a massive beatdown of our country to get to that place.
01:38:39.580 But someday we will be humble enough.
01:38:42.380 We will recognize God.
01:38:43.860 We will not be an enemy to God.
01:38:46.480 We will not be so arrogant.
01:38:49.260 And when we're those people, I will support the Convention of States.
01:38:59.720 But I withdraw my support.
01:39:02.500 And I'm sorry to say that, but I withdraw my support.
01:39:05.360 But it is because of the fact that this constitution is wholly inadequate for anyone other than a religious and moral people.
01:39:23.440 We are not those people.
01:39:25.760 And we should not stain this document.
01:39:29.240 Back in a minute.
01:39:34.100 There's something I didn't plan on saying today.
01:39:36.180 One of these things that makes America so exceptionally on the world stage, so exceptional, both now and down through the course of our history, is our focus on individualism.
01:39:46.580 When we stand united as a nation, we stand as individuals coming together freely.
01:39:51.720 It's something that the left in its collectivist mindset has never understood about us.
01:39:56.700 The rights we share as Americans are many and splendored, and there are also responsibilities.
01:40:04.420 You want the government to do less than we have to do more.
01:40:07.720 Can we help our police officers?
01:40:12.720 Can we help our firemen?
01:40:14.760 Can we help those service members whose families have paid the ultimate price that their loved one doesn't come home?
01:40:25.180 The Tunnel to Towers Foundation is a charity which was formed after 9-11, and it understands this solemn and sacred mandate to care about and care for our first responders and military service members that don't come home and leave families behind.
01:40:40.780 Help these heroes and their families.
01:40:42.540 Join Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good in their honor.
01:40:46.080 Donate $11 a month at T2T.org.
01:40:49.160 That's T, the number 2, T, dot org.
01:40:53.460 10 seconds, station ID.
01:40:55.180 So, earlier this week I did a monologue on just charting where we are.
01:41:19.720 There are two sides, and they're growing further and further apart, and each of us have to decide to not just be pushed along in the drift or the undercurrents.
01:41:37.420 We choose.
01:41:39.140 We choose.
01:41:40.060 And every day you can choose something different.
01:41:42.460 The past does not dictate what you do in the future unless you allow it to.
01:41:49.460 When did we, as a people, stop believing that sexual abuse of children is maybe explainable?
01:42:02.780 When did we stop believing that that was evil to think that?
01:42:08.460 It's not explainable.
01:42:09.960 You're abusing a child.
01:42:14.480 Taking away their innocence in any way is evil.
01:42:19.520 When did we think that it was okay to show pornography to kids, show sex acts to kids, to sexualize our children, to have them dance on stage at a strip club?
01:42:32.200 When did we stop saying that's evil?
01:42:38.640 Because we're not hearing it very much.
01:42:42.960 Children drag, childhood drag shows, drag story time in your school.
01:42:51.400 When did we stop saying it was evil to indoctrinate children in hopelessness?
01:42:58.480 When did we say, you know, it's perfectly fine to teach kids to hate their family, mistrust or distrust their parents, and hate their country?
01:43:10.600 Hate God.
01:43:12.020 When did we say that was okay?
01:43:13.980 When did we start believing that forcing people to participate in medical experiments was okay?
01:43:26.720 When did we say it was okay for children's hospitals to dismember or amputate perfectly good limbs or appendages on a healthy body of children?
01:43:39.320 When did we say it's okay to loot stores, burn cities down, destroy families, cancel speech in a much more widespread way than we ever did in the 1950s?
01:43:52.540 And when did we all decide that it was the good versus the evil of preaching color of skin over content of character?
01:44:05.280 We haven't changed.
01:44:06.840 We've just fallen silent.
01:44:10.340 We no longer look at these things as anything but a social issue.
01:44:14.880 Which side am I supposed to be on?
01:44:17.260 You don't have to be a hero.
01:44:19.960 You just have to remember what was good and what was evil.
01:44:26.460 That's it.
01:44:27.840 Those things don't change.
01:44:29.360 If you think that it's okay to sexually abuse a child as an adult, you know what?
01:44:36.080 It might be popular for a while, but I guarantee you it will return to a universal truth.
01:44:45.460 Our children are sacred.
01:44:50.140 It will return.
01:44:53.580 Which side are you on?
01:44:55.860 We are told that there will come a time where good becomes evil and evil becomes good.
01:45:03.360 We are there.
01:45:05.720 We are truly there.
01:45:08.680 Please, you're listening to this program at this time for a reason.
01:45:13.260 Wake up.
01:45:14.760 Wake up.
01:45:16.320 And take a peaceful but firm stand.

01:45:46.200 Not going to be fence sitters this time around.
01:45:48.520 You can't sit on the fence.
01:45:49.840 You have to act one way or another.
01:45:52.460 When it comes to your financing, that's probably the same.
01:45:54.800 We're entering a period of intense economic pressure, and the warning signs are already receding into the rearview mirrors.
01:46:02.200 We are approaching something that is not going to be easy.
01:46:06.580 We will make it if we do the right things, if we use common sense, and we stick together.
01:46:10.260 Please, give American Financing a call today.
01:46:14.140 Somebody asked me this morning, Glenn, what do I do with my investment money?
01:46:17.960 What do I do with my 401k or whatever?
01:46:20.300 And I'm like, I don't know.
01:46:21.960 Nobody knows.
01:46:23.180 You just do the next right thing.
01:46:25.880 That's all you can do.
01:46:28.300 Do the next right thing.
01:46:30.480 And reducing the money that you are paying, especially on interest in credit cards, reducing that is incredibly important.

01:47:03.200 GLENN20.
01:47:09.580 I want to introduce you to a man I have great respect for and a guy who I think is filled with courage from California.
01:47:19.420 He is the senior pastor of Calvary Chapel.
01:47:22.720 And this is one of the churches that led and said, we're not closing our doors.
01:47:29.900 We're just not closing our doors.
01:47:31.980 And have led the fight on that.
01:47:33.700 You have been under attack.
01:47:36.040 And now Proposition 1 you're fighting against.
01:47:40.280 Glenn, we're fighting what is the most radical legislation attempt in the United States in our history, whereby a child would be exterminated up into what is known or what it's been referred to as the birthday abortion.
01:47:55.660 On the day, on the moment, at birth, this child halfway out of the womb can be exterminated.
01:48:03.400 This is the workings and the doctrine, the belief of Gavin Newsom, which America needs to pay attention to because this guy's got his sights set on bigger things.
01:48:13.480 Proposition 1 is his baby, his government in Sacramento.
01:48:20.160 They have supermajority power.
01:48:21.820 Nothing gets to the voter anymore.
01:48:23.480 They just do it.
01:48:24.240 And he anticipated the Roe v. Wade change.
01:48:30.000 He's being set up for the presidency.
01:48:32.940 Well, listen, during the recall effort, which was the largest recall effort in U.S. history, against him recently, Larry Elder was running against him as governor, that the Democrats, remember, you've got to remember, Kamala and Joe, they all came out to bail him out.
01:48:48.080 Oh, yeah.
01:48:48.940 Oh, yeah.
01:48:49.340 So let me go over Proposition 1 because I did some homework on it.
01:48:54.340 And I just went to what, you know, if you're looking up your ballot, what are the things?
01:49:00.680 This is Proposition 1.
01:49:02.140 What will it do?
01:49:03.640 Proposition 1 would amend the California Constitution to establish a right to reproductive freedom, which is defined to include a right to an abortion and choose or refuse contraceptives.
01:49:13.600 Now, I want you to listen to this and read this as if you were somebody who is just marginally informed.
01:49:20.660 OK.
01:49:21.060 And you're not necessarily a person that is for, you know, partial birth or birthday abortion.
01:49:27.000 You are somebody who, you know, safe and rare, but legal.
01:49:31.860 OK.
01:49:32.360 Just listen to it with this.
01:49:34.520 The amendment states the state shall not design, deny or interfere with an individual's reproductive freedom in their most intimate decisions, which includes their fundamental right to choose or have an abortion and their fundamental right to choose or refuse contraception.
01:49:49.340 Well, I'm like, OK, well, all right.
01:49:51.480 Well, yeah, because I'm just half listening and and they're banning abortion, the federal level.
01:49:56.980 So we need this.
01:49:58.620 What's the legal status of abortion in California?
01:50:01.400 Abortion is legal in California up to fetal viability after viability.
01:50:07.040 If the if the procedure is necessary to protect the life or health of the mother.
01:50:11.880 So that's what's already in the law.
01:50:13.840 In 2002, the California state legislator passed the Reproductive Privacy Act, which added language to state the statute declaring that a woman has a fundamental right to choose to bear a child or choose to obtain an abortion.
01:50:28.220 So if I'm reading this, I'd be like, well, yeah, OK, I guess I'm for Proposition 1.
01:50:34.560 Yeah.
01:50:34.740 But that's this.
01:50:36.680 This is so misleading.
01:50:38.640 Yeah, absolutely.
01:50:40.120 So you've heard the old saying, the devil's in the details.
01:50:43.200 These guys have gotten smart because what preceded Prop 1 was AB 2223.
01:50:48.360 And they got caught being too specific.
01:50:51.000 This is this is the word that popped up perinatal.
01:50:53.340 And people began to say, wait, perinatal, perinatal is infanticide.
01:50:59.360 No, no, no, it's not.
01:51:00.180 It's not Sacramento leadership scream.
01:51:02.180 No, it's not.
01:51:02.780 No, it's not.
01:51:03.560 That's exactly what the word means.
01:51:05.260 What happened was they got bogged down in the details.
01:51:07.800 In this case, Glenn, there are no details.
01:51:10.600 Exactly.
01:51:10.980 The devil has gotten smarter this time around and he's left out the details to make it sound like what you just said.
01:51:17.960 It's a sweet, happy little pill to take.
01:51:20.640 It's an easy thing.
01:51:21.500 That sounds so benign.
01:51:22.760 What could possibly be really wrong with this?
01:51:25.700 Could this include afterbirth abortion?
01:51:29.320 Listen, I've I've been told, frankly, honestly, in your program, I've been told when I'm on these types of interviews, don't mention what could probably happen.
01:51:41.960 That's fair.
01:51:42.340 No, no, no.
01:51:42.940 Because of this reason, let's be honest, because it probably does mean that.
01:51:47.100 But people won't believe it.
01:51:48.280 So don't go there.
01:51:49.060 Don't say it.
01:51:49.640 But if you mention birthday abortion, which is undeniably what it is.
01:51:54.200 But if a baby dies seven days after going home with mom, this bill, if passed, there's no the law enforcement are banned from investigation.
01:52:04.480 There's no coroner's decision of cause of death.
01:52:09.100 What is going on here?
01:52:10.700 This is evil.
01:52:12.260 This is Germany, 1938, 39, 40 all over again.
01:52:15.820 Yes, it is.
01:52:16.840 Yes, it is.
01:52:17.500 It's actually 30, about 30, 1934, 35.
01:52:21.180 You know, they started it with the children.
01:52:23.820 Yeah.
01:52:24.080 They started it as a very benign.
01:52:26.720 Oh, this is really just we just.
01:52:28.400 Yeah.
01:52:28.820 We have to help these families and these children so they're not suffering.
01:52:33.000 So you did a poll, didn't you?
01:52:35.640 We did.
01:52:36.140 We commissioned a Rasmussen poll.
01:52:38.180 And what and what did you find out?
01:52:39.780 Well, the exact data of all of that, you can view it in detail at realimpact.us, but somewhere in the vicinity of 79% of Democrats, when interviewed or questioned about the extensiveness of Prop 1, said that's too extreme.
01:52:57.120 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:52:58.120 Yeah.
01:52:59.000 That's not just calling him cold.
01:53:01.520 That's saying, look, this, what do you think it means?
01:53:06.240 Right?
01:53:06.940 Yeah.
01:53:07.160 You're explaining it or you're talking about it.
01:53:09.040 Yeah, we're telling them Prop 1 is all the way up until birthday.
01:53:13.500 What do you think about that?
01:53:14.640 79% of Democrats in California said that's too extreme.
01:53:18.080 That's too far.
01:53:19.380 So here's the amazing thing.
01:53:20.620 This is what we're going to do.
01:53:21.960 We're just going to have Gavin Newsom own what he's invented.
01:53:26.300 That's my campaign as a pastor.
01:53:28.180 I believe I must do that.
01:53:30.460 I've read my Bible over and over again.
01:53:32.440 I'm called to defend life.
01:53:34.000 And the Bible says that I'm to defend those who are destined for crushing those who have no voice for themselves.
01:53:39.320 If that doesn't describe an unborn child, I don't know what does.
01:53:42.860 So here's the thing.
01:53:43.700 We've got people now rushing into the church and saying, you can't talk about that.
01:53:47.320 That's a political issue.
01:53:48.680 Yeah.
01:53:48.940 I refuse.
01:53:50.680 Listen, just because somebody says it's a political issue, that's partially how they win the war.
01:53:55.000 They get a hold of woke pastors and woke ministers and shut them down by saying, this is a political issue.
01:54:02.500 When God says, no, no, no, this is an issue of life.
01:54:05.880 I'm the God of life.
01:54:07.200 I'm the life giver.
01:54:08.780 And you're tampering with a sacred place.
01:54:12.080 Let me tell you something, Jeff.
01:54:13.320 First of all, thank you for that.
01:54:15.440 We need more pastors like you.
01:54:18.860 You have to speak without fear on truth.
01:54:22.600 And the truth is, everything has been made political now.
01:54:26.600 Everything is political.
01:54:28.420 But it is incumbent upon us as Christians to say, no, evil is evil.
01:54:35.160 That's right.
01:54:35.420 Whether it's being voted in or just being done, it's evil.
01:54:39.740 Mutilating our children and giving them things that will forever change them is evil.
01:54:47.860 It just is.
01:54:48.680 Pure.
01:54:48.900 Teaching our children about, that they should question their gender, that they can have sex
01:54:56.280 any way they want with whomever they want at a very young, it's evil.
01:55:00.540 Glenn, it's not only evil.
01:55:02.140 Let's be honest.
01:55:03.380 Everyone who's got, who's listening to your show right now, we all know that a kid does not
01:55:09.820 normally think that way.
01:55:11.420 A kid doesn't wake up someday and say, you know what?
01:55:13.540 I might be gender confused here.
01:55:17.340 That stuff is being pumped into these innocent, formidable minds at an early age.
01:55:22.900 When a child's young, are they curious?
01:55:25.500 When Johnny sees Susie at the age of four and tells mommy that she's got some different parts,
01:55:31.780 that's normal curiosity.
01:55:33.140 And you're supposed to parent your child through that.
01:55:36.020 But when we launch our kids into the public school system, assuming that they've got our
01:55:42.460 children's best interest in mind, we have fooled ourselves because there's an agenda to take
01:55:47.480 your child away from you, at least by their mindset, and to infuse within them, you know,
01:55:54.980 you just might be a boy.
01:55:56.440 You just might be a girl.
01:55:57.620 Well, and as a pastor of a large church, I've seen too many things, Glenn, going on where
01:56:02.900 young girls have had their breasts removed.
01:56:06.000 And then we just, I just got, while I'm here in Texas, I got an email of a 16-year-old who
01:56:11.640 wound up doing that, thought she was a guy, wound up realizing she wasn't, and just this
01:56:17.160 week took her life.
01:56:18.340 Oh, dear God.
01:56:19.540 But listen, who's responsible for this?
01:56:21.300 I want to ask, so who should pay for this?
01:56:23.740 Who's responsible?
01:56:24.700 Someone's got to be responsible for this.
01:56:27.660 And who would have thought in America that we would depart from our nation's great founding
01:56:33.020 and the roots of this awesome country to take almost stupid pills now and to be a country
01:56:39.840 that we don't even recognize.
01:56:41.940 But we lose our young ones, and there is no future for this nation.
01:56:45.620 You know, I just heard a stat yesterday about just the virus, the coronavirus vaccine may
01:56:57.420 have killed as many as 65,000 18 to 40-year-olds, okay?
01:57:03.980 That's Vietnam.
01:57:05.320 That's Vietnam.
01:57:06.120 That's Vietnam.
01:57:07.340 That's exactly correct.
01:57:08.260 And there was no fight about, there was nothing.
01:57:11.240 I mean, it just was done and over with.
01:57:17.180 Evil thinks it's winning.
01:57:20.900 I love what you just said.
01:57:23.720 When evil gets an inch, right?
01:57:25.700 Because it has no self-control, it goes a mile.
01:57:27.700 California is a perfect example of that, where once it takes a little bit of territory, it
01:57:33.260 goes bonkers.
01:57:34.360 And so now, if people would just stop, and Glenn, I know this is going to sound crazy,
01:57:38.680 but people think in 49 states, it's California.
01:57:42.700 Leave it alone.
01:57:43.960 Hello, excuse me.
01:57:45.660 What's happening in California is now happening in Boise, Idaho this last weekend.
01:57:50.480 It's happening everywhere.
01:57:52.440 You've got to stop it in California before it gets to Illinois.
01:57:55.740 Well, you know, one of the really insidious things that has happened, and I talked about
01:58:01.440 it last night.
01:58:02.080 Let me see if I can find it.
01:58:04.500 The states, California, this is a brilliant, evil thing.
01:58:12.400 The left decided, hey, let's go to states and say, whatever California does, we'll follow
01:58:20.780 by law.
01:58:22.300 This never went for a vote.
01:58:24.440 Legislatures in 17 states passed it.
01:58:27.700 The 17 states that tied themselves to California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland,
01:58:35.380 Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
01:58:39.960 Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington.
01:58:42.040 There you go.
01:58:42.600 So when they say, we're going to do this for emissions, those states must now do it.
01:58:49.560 They follow.
01:58:50.420 So this is the kind of subterfuge that they have and sabotage that they have done to all
01:59:01.640 of our states.
01:59:02.940 So Glenn, I'm going to ask you a question.
01:59:04.820 I asked it of a friend of ours, Charlie Kirk.
01:59:07.460 His jaw dropped.
01:59:08.680 I said, Charlie, with what I'm seeing around our country for the last maybe eight years,
01:59:14.700 maybe more.
01:59:15.180 Do we have a constitution?
01:59:17.980 No.
01:59:19.120 Thank you.
01:59:20.120 I believe we do not.
01:59:21.500 We don't.
01:59:22.140 We've got one.
01:59:22.860 We've got one encased at in a museum in D.C.
01:59:26.980 Yeah.
01:59:27.440 But that's about it.
01:59:28.440 Yeah.
01:59:28.720 We've got judges coming in overturning it.
01:59:30.920 We've got people.
01:59:31.720 Look at California.
01:59:32.620 By the way, we're celebrating.
01:59:34.180 I'm celebrating.
01:59:34.960 We just won a case.
01:59:35.920 It took us eight years.
01:59:37.260 We won it last week.
01:59:38.200 We sued the governor, Jerry Brown, because when Hobby Lobby won their Supreme Court case
01:59:43.980 regarding religious organizations not having to fund elective abortions, I said no.
01:59:49.580 I said no.
01:59:50.300 I wouldn't do it.
01:59:51.220 We lost our insurance coverage.
01:59:53.100 We wound up basically taking care of ourselves in a Christian co-op regarding our insurance
01:59:58.840 care.
01:59:59.320 But we filed a lawsuit against Jerry Brown.
02:00:01.760 And the reason why is because they sent us a letter and they said, in light of the U.S.
02:00:06.900 Supreme Court's decision regarding Hobby Lobby case, the state attorney general of California
02:00:13.040 does not believe that that decision was constitutional.
02:00:16.400 And so California employers will provide elective abortion coverage.
02:00:20.900 We wouldn't do it.
02:00:22.340 And so we just won that case.
02:00:24.520 It took us eight years.
02:00:25.640 We just won last week.
02:00:27.540 Yeah.
02:00:27.820 Hallelujah.
02:00:28.180 I don't know how you do it every day in California, but I thank God that you are there because
02:00:34.320 there are a lot of people that feel very, very alone right now all over the country,
02:00:40.160 all over the world.
02:00:41.860 And they need to know that they're not.
02:00:44.980 And we need to get them to realize the heavens are engaged in this.
02:00:51.000 That's right.
02:00:51.300 They are engaged.
02:00:52.640 That's right.
02:00:53.100 And they're just they're all around us saying, come on, man, stand up.
02:00:56.800 Step up.
02:00:57.220 Stand up.
02:00:57.880 Step up.
02:00:58.460 Thank you so much.
02:00:59.300 Glenn.
02:01:00.080 You bet.
02:01:00.720 Love it.
02:01:01.760 All right.
02:01:02.560 Back in just a minute.
02:01:04.060 Let me tell you about Goldline.
02:01:05.380 If you haven't been keeping up with the news on inflation, you're probably sleeping better
02:01:10.140 than you otherwise would.
02:01:11.720 But it's affecting you and everyone else.
02:01:14.160 You know, it affects many more people than monkeypox.
02:01:18.360 Quite honestly, the value of the U.S.
02:01:21.080 dollar continues to drop as the Fed and the Biden administration continue to screw things
02:01:26.200 up.
02:01:26.440 This has been going on for a very long time.
02:01:28.300 We've been talking about it for 20 years.
02:01:30.340 It's here now.
02:01:32.480 It's here.
02:01:33.360 These are the days.
02:01:36.000 I was off last week for Labor Day and Goldline has enhanced their Labor Day weekend special
02:01:41.580 for this week.
02:01:42.520 Every roll of the new Benjamin Franklin Stand in Love quarter ounce rounds, which has Ben
02:01:49.580 Franklin on the front and I had them put on the back.
02:01:52.560 What Ben Franklin wanted to have is our national seal, which is Pharaoh in the water and Moses
02:01:59.400 and the the pillar of fire.
02:02:01.700 It's an amazing coin.
02:02:03.700 You can get them now.
02:02:04.820 Every roll of the new Benjamin Franklin quarter ounce gold rounds.
02:02:09.540 You'll receive 50 of the matching one ounce copper rounds and 25 mind your business silver
02:02:15.080 bars at no additional cost.
02:02:16.400 This is phenomenal.
02:02:17.020 I've never seen him do anything like this.
02:02:18.680 It is the end of this week only.
02:02:21.180 That's tomorrow.
02:02:21.980 Call 866-GOLDLINE, 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.
02:02:29.280 The Glenn Beck Program.
02:02:47.020 Oh, crap.
02:02:48.180 We didn't get a chance to check in with the Royals today.
02:02:52.080 We'll have to do that tomorrow.
02:02:54.200 Yeah, darn it.
02:02:55.240 The Washington Post had a story out this week that Americans are finally feeling better about
02:03:00.420 the economy.
02:03:01.920 Huh.
02:03:02.400 I thought I was out of touch.
02:03:04.000 And so I decided to conduct our own poll, the Glenn Beck dot com economy poll.
02:03:10.740 Are you feeling better about the economy?
02:03:13.520 Uh, 99% said, uh, no.
02:03:19.240 Which, uh, leaves 1% saying, yeah, I feel better.
02:03:23.940 Margin of error is three points.
02:03:25.500 That's a lot of Americans.
02:03:26.640 That's a lot of Americans.
02:03:27.700 1%.
02:03:28.140 That's good.
02:03:28.940 1%.
02:03:29.420 They're feeling better.
02:03:30.360 Okay.
02:03:30.660 They're feeling better.
02:03:31.440 So.
02:03:32.540 How could you possibly?
02:03:33.780 I guess gas prices have been down a teeny bit.
02:03:36.320 And I just saw the president, uh, you know, going to check out some luxury cars that GM
02:03:40.780 is making.
02:03:41.620 Oh.
02:03:41.940 That you can't buy?
02:03:42.680 Well, you can't buy them, no.
02:03:44.140 Well, you can't buy luxury or non-luxury cars.
02:03:47.180 I don't know if you can buy cars.
02:03:48.820 Yeah, I don't think you can.
02:03:50.020 Matchbox cars?
02:03:51.680 No.
02:03:52.280 No.
02:03:52.440 I think those are gone as well.
02:03:53.400 Probably not.
02:03:54.020 Hot Wheels?
02:03:54.780 No.
02:03:55.220 No, probably.
02:03:56.600 Okay.
02:03:57.700 So, gosh, I better change my vote.
02:03:59.880 I'm not feeling better about the economy.
02:04:03.020 Uh, if you missed any part of this program, you've got to listen into the open of the podcast
02:04:07.380 where I explain this Amtrak nonsense to you.
02:04:12.720 It's important.
02:04:13.460 Get it wherever you get your podcasts.
