I don't even know where to begin again today. So much has been left on the edit room floor,
00:00:06.240
if you will. We're going to try to get to all of the stories that are important to you today.
00:00:11.860
We're going to talk about your children's schools, what are happening with the teachers. We're
00:00:15.500
actually doing this for a couple of days. We're talking about the great reset that is coming.
00:00:22.260
If you don't know anything about it, you don't want to miss a second of the show. You will be,
00:00:29.020
I promise you, if you listen to this program every day, you will not be surprised about what is
00:00:34.700
coming. You will be prepared and thus not freaking out. We also are going to check in with a friend
00:00:40.320
of mine, the guy actually who really heads up the operations for Operation, no, not Operation Underground
00:00:48.220
Railroad, but the Nazarene Fund. He is a guy who grew up in Lebanon and he knows it real well.
00:00:57.300
My gut says, and I haven't talked to him yet, but my gut says something is coming that is not real
00:01:03.800
good from this explosion that happened. There are riots in the streets, but you know, there's riots
00:01:09.960
in the streets in Chicago too. He didn't need to blow anything up in Chicago. We've got riots in the
00:01:15.840
streets. Also, I was on Tucker last night talking about the outrageous statements from the Democrats
00:01:23.540
about how worried they are that this election might be stolen. Oh, we have that and so much
00:01:30.660
more. And we begin in 60 seconds. This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:39.760
Anyone who really knows me thinks of me as an eternal optimist, right? Stu, I mean, don't you?
00:01:45.720
Right. That's you. Yeah. OK, maybe not. Maybe not. But once in a while, I have a positive thought.
00:01:52.140
And here's one. Think of refinancing your mortgage to a lower rate as the pay raise you haven't gotten
00:01:59.000
in a while. Huh? A lower rate can mean hundreds of dollars in monthly savings. I mean, you can you
00:02:07.020
can get down to, you know, three percent. I just talked to a guy that I know that has a two and a
00:02:13.680
half percent interest rate on his mortgage. That's insanity. Insanity. Please. 122 percent increase
00:02:23.100
in mortgage refis right now. People are standing in line. Get on the phone right now with American
00:02:30.140
Financing. Think of it this way. Saving four hundred dollars a month is five grand extra every single
00:02:36.860
year. Some people will save up to a thousand dollars every month or more. American Financing. Call 800-906-2440

00:03:00.140
So there was a shooting at the White House yesterday during a press conference with Donald
00:03:07.840
Trump. Let me just play the part of the press conference here where he was interrupted by Secret
00:03:12.920
Service. Watch this. It looks like they're just about going to be topping records hopefully soon.
00:03:19.140
So now a Secret Service man walks up and says, Mr. President, can I toss you off the podium?
00:03:35.160
And then he looks to give him a word of some sort that might be a key word that knows he knows you got,
00:03:43.900
we have to secure you now, Mr. President. And so he walks off and the press is like, what just
00:03:50.900
happened? Well, what just happened was a shooting, an active shooting was going on outside of the
00:03:58.180
White House with some guy 50 years old. We don't know anything about him, which to me means he's
00:04:03.560
either a progressive or a Muslim. Because if he was a white guy who was a Tea Party member,
00:04:10.860
oh my gosh, the world would know about everything about him, we would know his shoe size right now.
00:04:16.660
So I don't know why we don't know anything about him. We don't know really his condition.
00:04:20.760
But then the president walked back in after a few minutes and said somebody has been shot. He's on
00:04:26.380
the way to the hospital. Secret Service shot him. But everything is okay. And then he followed it
00:04:31.740
with this. Listen. There was a shooting outside of the White House and seems to be very well under
00:04:39.200
control. I'd like to thank the Secret Service for doing their always quick and very effective work.
00:04:47.940
But there was an actual shooting and somebody's been taken to the hospital. I don't know the condition
00:04:55.960
of the person. It seems that the person was was shot by Secret Service. So we'll see what happens. And
00:05:04.420
yeah. So do you have the the third part here where he's asked some questions?
00:05:14.280
I don't know. Do I seem rattled? It's unfortunate that this is a world, but the world's always been
00:05:21.200
a dangerous place. Are you rattled by this, Mr. President? The guy walked out like, oh, geez,
00:05:30.380
the Secret Service have to do I have to walk down those stairs again? Because honestly, guys,
00:05:35.180
you're gonna have to carry me. I don't like exercise. You know that I'm tired of this. Can
00:05:39.500
I just sit here in the hallway for a while? He does not seem phased by this at all, which
00:05:46.940
I don't think you would necessarily get from every president. But smooth handling on this and our
00:05:55.460
prayers go out to the Secret Service, especially when we told you we are just a couple of weeks
00:06:00.320
away from Antifa or it was what did we say the name of the group was yesterday? Advertising or
00:06:10.040
ad busters. Ad busters. These are the people that started Occupy Wall Street. They're saying
00:06:17.100
they're going to lay siege to the White House beginning in a couple of weeks until after the
00:06:22.800
election. So it's going to get very, very dicey here for a while. Last night I was on Tucker and he
00:06:31.800
was talking about how the how the Democrats are now talking about the election being stolen and
00:06:40.820
they're talking about it in many, many different ways. They're talking about the president is trying
00:06:45.280
to use the postmaster general to stop the election and all of the the absentee ballots that are going
00:06:53.500
out. That's a point where they're going to say he stole the election. They're saying that now he's
00:06:58.820
working again with Russia. Guys, did you read the reports that I mean, he wasn't working with Russia
00:07:04.800
the first time? What do you think he would work with Russia now? Russia is trying to steal the
00:07:11.220
election. But of course, do we have that that sought from from Nancy Pelosi from a couple of days ago
00:07:18.480
where she was talking about this? Yeah, she was she was talking about it. And she said that, you know,
00:07:23.840
but, you know, in China, China doesn't like us either. That's another global power. But but
00:07:28.660
they're fine. They're not doing anything. China, you're OK with China. You had no reason to look
00:07:34.420
into China. China is for Joe Biden. That's why they don't want Donald Trump. Russia doesn't want
00:07:42.900
Donald Trump either. Russia just wants the chaos. China is actually playing for the guy they've already
00:07:50.040
paid for. Look, they bought their presidential candidate. They paid for him through his son.
00:07:56.420
We want what we paid for. Of course, China cares. They're not going to do anything. No, no, no,
00:08:04.100
no, because they're on the up and up. They sent us the coronavirus. What there? Oh, no. No, no,
00:08:11.320
no. We are totally innocent. We're just we're just eating here. Just all you can hear the sound of our
00:08:19.080
chopsticks eating. We're just having lunch right now. Nothing really. By the way, I don't know why the
00:08:25.560
Chinese sound like Russians. Oh, oh, I do. I do remember. It's OK to make the Russian accent
00:08:35.100
because they're a bunch of white guys. So anyway, right now we have a situation to where they are
00:08:44.600
setting us up. Anything the Democrats say they are doing. And I know, you know, if you've been paying
00:08:49.280
attention, if you've been paying attention, you know that whatever they say Trump is doing,
00:08:58.460
they are doing. They are saying that Trump is planning for all of these riots afterwards,
00:09:04.980
that he's not going to leave. He's going to contest if he if he doesn't win. Those are all the things
00:09:11.460
they're going to do. Right now, could I ask you if you really cared about this election? And I do.
00:09:19.000
I deeply care. I mean, what do they worry about Russia? OK, well, let's just look at a couple of
00:09:26.080
things. The mail in ballots, hundreds of thousands of these ballots have been deemed fraudulent.
00:09:33.000
Hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, half a million incorrect absentee ballot applications
00:09:38.960
were sent out. Half a million. That's to one state. In the New York City primary, 84,000 incorrect
00:09:48.080
ballots sent. They're still counting the primary for the presidential election. They're still counting
00:09:56.400
the ballots in New York. Really? So we have we have a party that screwed up their own caucus in Iowa.
00:10:08.620
I think they're still counting ballots. I think they're still like, hang on, hang on. We're going
00:10:12.500
to get a winner here soon. They screwed up their own caucus by trying something new. They have already
00:10:20.500
sent out tons, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of incorrect absentee ballots. I'm not
00:10:28.060
making this up. A cat that has been dead for nine years got a ballot. OK, why would we change at this
00:10:38.840
critical time? Why would we change our ballot counting and the way we do our ballots? It is more
00:10:45.840
important than ever that we don't try something new. What are we doing? How does that make sense?
00:10:55.840
Unless you're trying to create chaos. That is the operative word. As I told you 10 years ago,
00:11:03.320
when we get into this thing, chaos will be the operative word. Anybody that is trying to cause chaos
00:11:10.280
on either side in any way. Run, run, run. It is honestly one reason why I worried about Donald Trump.
00:11:19.560
He lives in a world of chaos. But as we have seen, he may be the only one that can navigate
00:11:25.180
the world of chaos. Look at him, Mr. President. Somebody's in the hallway. They might want they might
00:11:31.520
want to shoot you again. OK, I mean, he he can live and thrive in that world. Chaos is coming.
00:11:48.020
Then they're worried about the they're worried about the Russians. Well, we told you about this in 2014,
00:11:56.520
what the Russians were doing. And we told you at the time they are not picking somebody to win or
00:12:04.440
lose. They are only trying to divide us. That's why when we went back and we looked at all of the
00:12:11.440
social media that they put out, they were for the cops and against the cops. They were for Hillary
00:12:17.400
and against Hillary. They were for Trump and against Trump. They were only trying to get us to hate each
00:12:23.460
other. That's the quickest way to dismantle us. That's why the Democrats and their Marxist friends
00:12:30.960
are doing this to us because they need us divided. If you really cared about the election, you would be
00:12:40.460
watching China and Russia. You would not be trying to do some new kind of voting. You would not be asking
00:12:48.940
for absentee ballots when we know absentee ballots are bad. We know they are. We know that they that has a long
00:12:58.120
history of being inaccurate and slow. What was it? One of the primaries that just happened, Stu, they found
00:13:06.540
like 80,000 ballot. Oh, you know what? We just found these 80,000 in this box over here.
00:13:11.440
Wait. Wait. I don't know. Now, are you when you're saying this, you mean are you talking more
00:13:18.500
about mail-in voting than absentee voting? Mail-in voting. Okay. Yeah. Mail-in voting. There is a
00:13:23.000
distinction. This new mail-in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This new mail-in voting idea. Let's not try
00:13:28.600
anything new. Let's not try new machines out. Let's not try anything out. Now they're saying,
00:13:34.980
you know, we just might not know on day number one. This is going to be so close. Really? Why is
00:13:42.600
that? Because we've had close elections before. You know, the only one in my lifetime was, was
00:13:50.540
Goran Bush. Why is everyone saying, oh, it could be weeks before we know how this ends? Why are they
00:13:59.820
setting us up for this? That's the mail-in thing, right? I mean, they think that people are going to
00:14:03.240
mail-in. Some of these states have it where if you're postmarked by the date of the vote, it
00:14:08.500
counts. So, I mean, you, if it comes in, it could arrive four days after the election.
00:14:15.640
Oh, really? So I'd have time. I got it. So I would have time to go, oh, I'm about 5,000 ballots short.
00:14:24.240
Hey, look what just came in the mail. I mean. Don't take the vote away from that. This is not good.
00:14:29.880
Don't do that. No, don't, don't do it. Don't do it. You're trying to
00:14:32.980
steal Tunsis' vote, and I don't like it. Yeah. And if you really cared, you would check into the
00:14:39.460
millions and millions of dollars that tech has given to the Democrats, and the algorithms that
00:14:47.280
they themselves have admitted can change the election. We know that they can swing an election
00:14:54.900
by four to six points just through algorithms. Is anybody monitoring that? No, no, no. It's Russia.
00:15:03.180
Russia. Stop it. Just stop it. All right. Let me just take a quick break here and tell you a
00:15:11.720
little bit about Relief Factor. Brian lives in Alabama. He's a little like me. He's been in
00:15:16.780
severe pain on a regular basis for years, and it was beginning to limit his mobility, both at work
00:15:22.040
and home. A little over a year ago, he heard me talking about Relief Factor on the radio, and he
00:15:27.280
resisted trying it for a whole year, and the pain just got worse and worse and worse. One day, he made
00:15:33.440
the decision to give it a shot. He says within three weeks, 90% of his pain was gone. Brian, thank you.
00:15:41.960
Sorry that you were like me and you waited so long because you just didn't believe. That's just some
00:15:46.220
joker on the radio telling me about it. Thank you for being like me, but also thank you for being
00:15:53.160
more like my wife and finally doing it. You got your life back. I have my life back, and so can you.
00:16:01.500

00:16:37.500
I have told my kids that, and this is the first time in my entire broadcast career,
00:16:43.460
that they must watch my Wednesday night shows. They have to watch them because there's too much
00:16:51.340
stuff that if you don't know, and nobody else is sharing with you, if you don't know what's
00:16:58.680
behind the curtain, you're going to believe in The Wizard of Oz. You need to see what's behind
00:17:05.680
the curtain, and every Wednesday night, I pull that curtain back. People are joking right now about
00:17:12.320
2020. Well, it's 2020. You know, a whole year is a disaster. Right. 2021 is going to make this look
00:17:20.180
like a picnic. It's going to happen because the world is right now being reset. We're not going to
00:17:29.780
go into recovery. We're going to go into a process of being reset. The Great Reset. We told you about
00:17:37.960
pieces of this with Event 201. That's an episode that you need to watch. The Forced Recession,
00:17:45.920
another episode you should watch. Agenda 21 and 30, again in the episode. The waves of civil unrest,
00:17:54.740
the violence that George Soros himself predicted months ago would come. Predicted it would throw a
00:18:00.880
wrench into the re-election of Donald Trump. All of these things are connected,
00:18:05.200
and it's happening with the most powerful people in the world, and they don't all have the same
00:18:11.340
agenda. What's happening at the Fed is not the same thing that is happening with Antifa,
00:18:16.900
but they are all using each other. The most powerful people in the world are using all of it to achieve
00:18:24.160
their utopian dream, their brave new world. If you know that reference, I don't know if anybody does
00:18:30.600
anymore because I don't know if we even read anymore, but the insanity that we experienced
00:18:36.560
this year will get worse next year. It's called the Great Reset. I will show you exactly what this plan
00:18:45.780
is, exactly who's behind it, and how to stop it. Tomorrow night, a brave new world. The left's
00:18:55.920
march towards global fascism, communism, authoritarianism, call it whatever you want,
00:19:03.960
but they are going there quickly. That's tomorrow night at blazetv.com slash Glenn. Make sure you become

00:19:28.500
All right, Stu, there was a, in about a half an hour, we're going to be talking about schools and
00:19:33.600
what's happening in our schools. You found a new podcast that is blaming white parents for schools?
00:19:45.000
Yes, that is the, well, as you know, white parents are the cause of pretty much every
00:19:49.000
ill in our society today, and you're allowed to say that, but it's not racist at all.
00:19:54.480
Somehow, there's some theoretical way you can make that not to be racist when you blame an entire
00:19:59.100
race for, or something like this. The New York Times, in their new podcast, it's from,
00:20:06.100
you know, they bought the cereal company. Not poster, but like the cereal podcast company,
00:20:11.580
and their new podcast is called Nice White Parents. There's a, we should listen to one of
00:20:16.080
these promos for it. It's incredible. Like, if you said this about any other color, any other race,
00:20:20.620
I don't know that we have time for it here, but we should have it soon. But yeah, it's a pretty
00:20:26.880
amazing thing. It's like, you can just blame, I mean, outwardly blame a race for the ills of your
00:20:34.220
society, and that's okay. That's completely okay now. The definition of racism has changed,
00:20:41.080
and Martin Luther King is being, you know, is, it would be rolling around in his grave over
00:20:45.760
something like this. It's the exact opposite of his vision. Well, he's, he's no longer part of
00:20:49.440
the movement. He's now part of the problem. Yeah. Martin Luther King is now part of the problem.
00:20:54.000
They'll be tearing down his statues. They'll be tearing down his statues and ripping that holiday
00:20:56.800
away from him. This is what I warned about. Don't go over the cliff with the rest of society.
00:21:03.380
Because it has gone insane. Let me tell you about Shave Secret. Shave Secret has revolutionized the
00:21:11.140
way millions of Americans shave. They, listen to what Lori had to say. She said, the bag of goodies
00:21:17.040

00:21:23.440
last 45 years, I'm thrilled to be using Shave Secret and getting a smooth, close shave with no
00:21:28.520
irritation or nicks. And my skin is much softer. I highly recommend it. That's what Lori writes. And
00:21:35.700

00:21:39.800
you just go grab some of that foam or whatever. Shave Secret is entirely different. It is an essential
00:21:45.480
oil. And all you need is just a few drops each time on a wet palm. It feels great on your skin.

00:22:26.360
I wanted to bring a good friend of mine on. He's Lieutenant Colonel Rudy Atala, and he is a
00:22:41.220
retired Air Force officer. He's the chief operating officer of the Nazarene Fund and the executive,
00:22:48.340
chief executive officer of White Mountain Research. He grew up in Lebanon, if I remember right. He,
00:22:56.080
he grew up, he was a native to Beirut. He speaks, I don't know how many different languages. He is a
00:23:02.520
straight up guy, worked at the White House for a while. And it's an honor to call him my friend.
00:23:13.080
I just wanted to check with you real quick on something. What's happening in Lebanon? My gut
00:23:20.660
tells me this is the start of something really not good. Am I wrong on that?
00:23:27.640
No, your gut is right spot on. Actually, it's a, it's a start of, um, I, I'm afraid to say that
00:23:36.180
if things continue trending this way, Lebanon is going to go back to civil war, uh, unless the
00:23:41.760
international community really finds a solution to, uh, to the issues right now.
00:23:45.820
Okay. So tell me, tell me exactly what we know. Uh, I know you have a team on the ground in Lebanon
00:23:53.240
now. Tell me what we do know about, uh, this amodium nitrate. Uh, was it from Hezbollah from
00:24:01.760
Iran? Why was it there? And what happened yesterday with the riots?
00:24:07.440
Yeah. So, uh, Hezbollah has controlled, uh, Hezbollah has slowly, slowly taken over and
00:24:15.980
control the Lebanese government. So the entire Lebanese government is extremely, extremely
00:24:20.780
corrupt and controlled by Iran, uh, through its proxies, Hezbollah inside Lebanon. Uh,
00:24:27.320
once they took control of, of the, the government, they, they, uh, they control the airport and
00:24:32.900
they also control the seaport where the explosion happened. And with their control of the seaport,
00:24:38.460
they were, they were bringing in all types of weapons, uh, missiles, missile propellants,
00:24:43.620
and of course, ammonium nitrate. So the combination of all of that and nothing entered or left the
00:24:49.680
port without Hezbollah knowing about it. Uh, in fact, after the explosion occurred, they cordoned
00:24:56.080
off the entire, uh, you know, facility, the entire port itself did not allow anybody near
00:25:02.740
it. Um, and, uh, the sad thing about it is the explosion was so massive that it devastated a
00:25:09.400
good chunk of the city and it impacted close to 85% of the Christian area in Beirut.
00:25:17.660
So, so, so the bulk of the damage has occurred in the, in the Christian areas. We now, as of,
00:25:24.480
as of today, we have, um, we have over 2000 critically wounded, uh, 6,000 total wounded,
00:25:31.680
uh, 200 dead with many, many more missing and over 350,000 people are homeless. My, my cousin
00:25:39.780
lost his entire home, his entire business. My father's house was damaged. My closest friends,
00:25:45.820
all their homes were destroyed. Um, so it's been, it's been, uh, an incredibly difficult time for
00:25:53.380
everybody. And, and yesterday with riots, what was, what was really, um, crazy that was happening
00:25:59.580
is you had, uh, plain people in plain clothes from the, from the Hezbollah side, driving into the
00:26:07.520
Christian areas where the damage occurred and basically offering up to buy homes from people
00:26:12.940
saying, Oh, you lost everything. We'll, we'll purchase your place from you. It's, it's something
00:26:18.000
that they've done over the years is they've slowly basically entered and penetrated the Christian
00:26:23.380
areas by asking to purchase land from Christians and from people. Now they're doing it with this
00:26:28.660
damage, which is very, very alarming. So the riots yesterday, the people are fed up because there's
00:26:34.980
economic depression. Um, you know, the, the major devaluation of the Lebanese pound against the
00:26:41.520
dollar. Um, a lot of the food that was entering the ports was being basically whisked away out of
00:26:47.400
the country and moved across the border into Syria to continue propping up the Assad regime. And
00:26:53.620
Hezbollah was behind all of this. So the people are starving there. The, the, the value of their
00:26:59.200
money is not, is not there. They can't purchase anything. And, and what's made it worse is there's,
00:27:05.300
there are no jobs. You, the Lebanese population is 4.5 million. Now add on top of that 1.5 million
00:27:13.380
Syrian refugees from the war in Syria. And you have an extremely, you have an extremely volatile area now
00:27:21.260
with no jobs and nothing. So people yesterday had, so they were so fed up. They went into the streets
00:27:27.560
and they were basically clashing with the police. And yesterday, uh, we've had a total of over 728
00:27:34.340
wounded. And, and, uh, right now the entire, the entire, uh, government resigned. Uh, so the, the prime
00:27:42.640
minister Hassan Diab resigned and, uh, but, uh, he's going to continue working with his people.
00:27:48.460
Hassan Diab and the government, Lebanese government was all handpicked by Hezbollah and by Iran. So,
00:27:55.000
um, the people are waiting to see what's going to happen right now. They, the people are pushing
00:28:00.500
for a guy named, uh, Nwab Salam to become the next prime minister because the constitution of Lebanon
00:28:07.540
states that the prime minister must be Sunni. And, uh, and, uh, so the people are trying to, to select
00:28:13.780
their prime minister, but we will see what happens. This is where the rub is going to be,
00:28:18.040
is that nobody wants Iran or Hezbollah to be in control of government anymore.
00:28:24.000
And Iran's not going to take that sitting down.
00:28:27.220
No, they can't lose Lebanon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There was something else that was really,
00:28:33.020
that's really interesting. And I think your listeners need to know is that, you know,
00:28:38.680
it's funny that the, uh, the, uh, the last week on Friday, uh, was when the, uh, the Hague was going
00:28:44.720
to come up with its final verdict in, uh, in the long, long, uh, investigation of $600 million worth,
00:28:53.120
uh, uh, of investigations on the assassination of the former prime minister of Lebanon in 2005,
00:28:59.600
uh, Rafi Hariri. And the verdict, the final verdict has the finger pointing directly at Hezbollah and
00:29:06.300
directly at Iran for killing the former prime minister, whom everybody loved in Lebanon. And so
00:29:12.640
Hezbollah was not going to take that sitting down. And it's funny that, you know, a couple of days
00:29:17.780
before that final verdict came out, um, this whole explosion happened. So it delayed everything. Now
00:29:24.700
the Hague is not going to come up with its final verdict until the 18th of August. So now it's
00:29:30.240
buying time for Hezbollah to do whatever it's now they dissolve the government. So Hezbollah is
00:29:34.780
probably going to say, well, look, there's no government, so you can't come in here. You can't
00:29:38.660
do anything in here. And it allows them time to shuffle around. And Iran now has pledged full
00:29:44.540
support to Lebanon and the, and basically the guys of humanitarian aid. And we all know what that
00:29:50.960
means. It means, you know, full support on every other front, uh, of course, bringing in weapons and
00:29:56.620
missiles and all that stuff. So this is how the game is played. Wow. That's, uh, depressing. What
00:30:03.940
Rudy, do you believe that this was intentional or a mistake? And was there really a fireworks
00:30:10.020
depot in there or was this all stuff for rockets and bombs? Yeah, I, I think I personally
00:30:20.680
think it was very deliberate. Uh, the timing is kind of, uh, the big question. And, you know,
00:30:26.240
you look at who benefits from this whole thing, of course, uh, Hezbollah benefits majorly from the
00:30:31.320
whole thing. There were no fireworks at the port. Um, I mean, the port is near the place where I used
00:30:36.700
to live. So they, they maintained all their ammos, their weapons and their ammonium nitrate. And now
00:30:43.220
the people are afraid, um, also because they're saying that some of the experts are saying that
00:30:49.060
2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate, it wasn't all there. Uh, there was a lot of it missing. So now
00:30:56.060
people are living in fear of a potentially second explosion. And I think, um, you know, there, you
00:31:03.200
know, the rumors start to rise and people start to talk, but, but Hezbollah controlled all of that.
00:31:08.860
And they are known, Hezbollah is known to sacrifice its own people for the cause. I, in 2006,
00:31:15.700
when the, during the Israeli incursion, uh, of Lebanon, I, you know, I, I used to, I was talking
00:31:23.140
to my friends, they would, you know, they would literally sacrifice their own kids and then send
00:31:28.160
in people, reporters, take photos, and it would send them to death on France and say, see, the
00:31:32.940
Israelis are killing kids. And the Israelis weren't doing anything. They were sacrificing
00:31:36.340
their own people just for, for our, or their own cause. So they will do anything to win the battle.
00:31:44.340
We have a team from the Nazarene Fund on the ground?
00:31:51.000
Yeah. Yeah. It's the same team. I have parts of, so Nazarene Fund and my, uh, nonprofit,
00:31:58.200
the blessing projects.org. I, I, I have everybody there, uh, several teams running around. We're
00:32:04.280
feeding people and we're helping the poorest of the poor. I mean, uh, yesterday, in addition to
00:32:09.940
all the riots, it rained in many of the homes have no roofs or no windows. So the water's flooding.
00:32:15.860
People are, are, are starving. Many people are afraid to go to hospitals because of COVID because
00:32:21.800
we do have a COVID outbreak in Lebanon as well. So, so in addition, in addition to no food, in
00:32:28.840
addition to the explosion, in addition to the crisis, you have COVID, you have everything else on top of
00:32:34.580
it. So we're talking major, major disaster. Um, it's unprecedented.
00:32:39.640
You have a hundred thousand children, uh, that are homeless now. Um, what, what time of day did
00:32:48.260
this happen? Where was everybody? Were they at home together? Uh, were the family separated?
00:32:58.780
Yeah, it, it, it was, it was in the afternoon and, and families were together. But what happened
00:33:05.000
is because it started off as a slow burn with a lot of smoke. People congregated to their balconies,
00:33:12.220
they congregated in the streets and they were, you know, they were, everybody was using their
00:33:16.420
phones to videotape. That's why you have, uh, you know, so many captures of the explosion and it was
00:33:22.900
a slow burn and it was about, you know, five to seven minutes later. And then you had the massive
00:33:27.680
explosion. The detonation was so big that they actually felt it in Larnaca, Cyprus, a hundred miles
00:33:34.500
away. It registered 4.3 on the Richter scale. It's considered the third largest non-nuclear
00:33:40.740
explosion in history. I've never seen anything like it. I mean, I honestly thought it was a
00:33:46.560
nuclear weapon when it went off. You saw the explosion, you saw the fire, and then you saw
00:33:51.780
that. I mean, you just saw the air, the air pressure just boom, uh, push out from that. I've
00:33:59.600
never seen that except for a, a massive, massive bomb or a nuclear hydrogen bomb. Terrifying. Um,
00:34:08.240
thank you so much, Rudy. Thank you for bringing us up to speed. Um, anything you need, anything
00:34:14.600
Just your support and prayers, anything you can do. We're bringing in, uh, aid. We're trying to
00:34:21.300

00:34:26.980
goes to the government itself or to local politicians because they control everything. We're trying to

slash Glenn. This is the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Uh, Stu has
00:37:09.880
found a new podcast that's not racist at all. It just blames all the problems on white people
00:37:15.640
and what a surprise it comes from the New York times. Uh, and, uh, it is about how white mommy
00:37:24.380
and daddy broke the school system. Yep. It's all white people's fault. Here's the promo
00:37:28.560
from the New York times. This is Sarah Koenig, host of the serial podcast. I want to tell you
00:37:33.220
about our new show, nice white parents. It's reported by Hannah Jaffe Walt, who's made some
00:37:37.980
of the best, most thought provoking, most emotional radio stories I've ever heard. Back in 2015,
00:37:43.580
Hannah wanted to find out what would happen inside this one public school in her neighborhood
00:37:47.360
during a sudden influx of white students into a school that had barely had any white students
00:37:51.520
before and then not satisfied that she fully understood what she was seeing. She went all
00:37:56.500
the way back to the founding of the school in the 1960s and then forward again up to the
00:38:00.580
present day. And eventually Hannah realized she could put a name to the unspoken force that
00:38:05.600
kept getting in the way of making the school better. White parents. I've been waiting so long
00:38:11.320
to tell people about this show and now I can finally say it. Go listen to nice white parents.
00:38:16.940
Nice white parents is made by serial productions, a New York times company. You can find it wherever
00:38:21.220
you get your podcasts. Oh, I can't wait to dive into that one. Yeah, it sounds great. Yeah,
00:38:25.840
that's gonna, it's gonna be great. Now that's a surprising outcome. Yeah, I wouldn't have seen
00:38:30.580
that coming. I was shocked at the problem with, uh, with school, with schools that are, uh, that have
00:38:36.100
lots of minorities in them are when an influx of white kids come in and they ruin it and you can
00:38:42.560
blame white parents. Think about this narrative as the opposite, Glenn. I mean, it's, it would be
00:38:46.680
literally written by some white nationalist, uh, who would say, you know what? We had these white
00:38:52.360
schools. They were great. And then all of a sudden these black people came in and ruined them.
00:38:55.500
That's the exact story they're telling, except they're just blaming white people.
00:38:59.080
I want you to today assign to a producer that take that exact script, produce it exactly the same way
00:39:06.380
with, I don't know, you, Sarah, or somebody, somebody's a woman's voice and just reverse it.
00:39:12.260
And we're going to play them side by side tomorrow. And you tell me, is this racist?
00:39:18.940
Cause one, I guarantee you will sound horrifying, even if it's produced exactly the same way.

00:40:39.920

This is my company. It was started by my brother and I, he's still involved. I'm still involved.
00:40:48.080
Uh, we created it about five years ago. We've got another great guy, John Wells, who is on our team
00:40:54.020
and, and these guys, uh, they do everything they can to move heaven and hell. They sound like hall
00:41:01.200
of fame members and those guys, cause they're doing everything for the company. And, uh, you know,
00:41:06.280
and there's other people involved as well in the, in the company, which are, they're interesting too.
00:41:11.540
They're, they're interesting people, you know? Um, I mean, I know the real estate agent, I trust.com
00:41:17.020
is like a hall of fame for real estate agents. Um, are you in the radio hall of fame yet? Do we
00:41:22.340
know? Shut up, shut up, shut up. No, we don't know yet. Shut up. So no, we don't. So anyway,
00:41:29.840
uh, uh, uh, we will get a real estate agent to you that we feel we have vetted and we feel is the
00:41:36.120
best in your area, but I want you not to trust us, do your own homework. Just go to real estate
00:41:40.580
agents. I trust.com. That's real estate agents. I trust.com. Thank you for that, Stu.
00:41:45.200
No problem. I thought you'd appreciate it because it was ties into your trying to get into the radio
00:41:49.520
hall of fame. Unfortunately, voting has closed. So we now, uh, nothing, nothing that listeners can
00:41:54.560
do anymore, uh, to help you out. It's just going to have to go on your pure talent at this point.
00:41:59.900
Uh, seeing if you're able to get in, you know, just on your bill and your ability on your merit,
00:42:04.620
which I know is how you would want it to be, uh, because of, uh, your hard fought for beliefs.
00:42:11.300
I mean, unfortunately they closed it down and, and because people were, you know,
00:42:16.640
paying people to vote for them. So they made it rich, uh, really hard this year. So now it's all
00:42:22.440
untalented and, uh, what you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:42:46.040
Tell me you recognize your country. I'm just going to give you some headlines. New York city
00:42:57.460
students can't go to school because of COVID-19 closures, but they can go to daycare at taxpayer
00:43:12.360
Public school teacher now complains home learning will interfere with trans race and gay propaganda.
00:43:20.480
Very, very concerned in Pennsylvania. This school teacher who said that now with all of the classes
00:43:28.680
that are being taught online, parents can hear what we're saying. Oh my gosh, then maybe you shouldn't
00:43:34.960
be saying it. Also critical race theory is now mandatory training for teachers. We have Gavin
00:43:42.200
Newsom threatening parents with penalties. If you hire a tutor, believe it or not, teachers unions are
00:43:49.460
trying to shut down any competition. They want a monopoly and all of it will be public schools. Do you
00:43:58.040
recognize your country? Because I don't. How about, how about this one? A math education professor
00:44:05.900
says this is a trope that reeks of white supremacy. What's the trope? Two plus two equals four.
00:44:19.500
Dangerous trope. Indeed. We begin there in 60 seconds. This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:44:27.020
I'm sure just about everybody is familiar with AARP, but were you aware that there is a conservative
00:44:36.060
alternative? I mean, AARP, I always thought was, you know, for, you know, for everybody, but it's,
00:44:44.120
it's not, um, they are, I think they are a dangerous group because it is a progressive group.
00:44:50.800
Uh, the conservative group that you need to join is AMAC, A-M-A-C. It was founded by an Air Force
00:44:58.000
veteran, Dan Weber and his family. And when you go with AMAC, you're going to get true value for
00:45:03.100
your membership. Things like discounts on your car insurance and hotels and roadside assistance and
00:45:07.860
dental plans, even cell phone service options that you might not otherwise have, and many more
00:45:13.300
benefits that will make your life easier and save you money. But here's the kicker. On top of that,
00:45:18.360
AMAC actually represents you. They represent courage and faith and reason. All good things to have
00:45:26.820
right now. They'll fight for the freedoms that we hold dear. Things like individual liberty, free
00:45:31.540
speech, freedom of religion, the second of a second amendment and the sanctity of life. Believe me,
00:45:37.840
AARP is not doing that. AMAC is. They will stand for your God-given freedoms. Stand with AMAC as they
00:45:46.920
fight the good fight by becoming a member today. The benefits are great. The cause is greater. Join
00:45:52.440
now. AMAC.us slash Beck. AMAC.us slash Beck. The more of us that join, the louder their voice becomes
00:46:02.820
and the more they can fight for us. AMAC.us slash Beck. AMAC. Better. Better for you. Better for America.
00:46:12.800
I want to bring in a representative from Colorado. He is actually on the right side. I don't know
00:46:30.200
what's happened to Colorado, Ken. We're talking to state rep Ken Buck. You are on the verge of losing
00:46:38.180
Colorado, which has always been a common sense western state, but I don't know what's happening
00:46:45.680
out there. But welcome to the program. You are outspoken about what's going on in our schools
00:46:54.240
and our universities. Can we get into that a bit? Absolutely. And just by the way, not only am I in
00:47:01.620
the U.S. Congress, but I'm also the state party chair of Colorado. And I have to tell you, we're going
00:47:05.880
to do great in these elections that are coming up in November. Gosh, Ken, I am so sorry. It must be
00:47:13.380
my eyes. I reintroduced you as a state rep. You are not. You're a national congressman. I apologize
00:47:19.780
for that. There is an Illinois Democrat that is calling on colleges to ban history, ban U.S. history,
00:47:30.700
because he says this is the only thing that will come out of it is a a kid that has been
00:47:38.940
indoctrinated in white supremacy. We're losing our country, Ken. I agree with you. I think I think
00:47:45.960
that there are a lot of really bad ideas out there, but I also think there are a lot of really good
00:47:50.700
people out there. And what is happening, what I see on the ground in Colorado and what my friends see
00:47:56.780
around the country is a reaction to that, because we have patriots like you who are pointing out
00:48:02.860
where this nonsense is coming from and how far left and ridiculous it is. I think people are reacting
00:48:09.240
and they want their kids to learn U.S. history so they have a solid foundation and understand the
00:48:15.120
values that we hold so dear. So what is it that the average person can do? I mean, I know you were in,
00:48:24.840
and that's why I should have, I should have known U.S. Congress. I know you're in the HBO
00:48:30.620
documentary, Drain the Swamp. And some would say that you're the kind of the star of that.
00:48:39.820
But you're in there, you've been trying to drain the swamp, and it is getting worse and worse and worse,
00:48:49.680
I think they are ahead of us. I wrote a book called Drain the Swamp, and HBO did a feature film.
00:48:57.420
I've just written a book called Capital of Freedom that came out last week, Glenn. And I talk in that
00:49:02.780
book about American history and about how the left is trying to move us to deny the history. I give
00:49:09.060
tours of the Capitol, and I talk about the historical symbols in the Capitol and how the left is trying
00:49:14.220
to deny those things. And fellow members of Congress on the left are trying to deny those things. And I think
00:49:19.880
the first thing that we have to do as Americans is to educate ourselves about how important these values are
00:49:26.340
and why it makes America great and why it separates us from the rest of the world.
00:49:30.920
So Ken, you had, I'm trying to remember where it was in Colorado, but you had Antifa try to come into
00:49:43.580
one of the towns just in one of the suburbs of Denver, and they were met by the people. I've been to
00:49:52.180
Colorado. I absolutely love your state. And there are, it's split now. It's, it's no longer like you can just live
00:50:04.140
your life and let it be. If you're living in some of these really now Marxist kind of communities, they don't
00:50:14.380
listen, and they don't understand each other. We've lost our union.
00:50:17.980
I think that's right. You know, we call it the People's Republic of Boulder. And I think that there are the attitudes
00:50:27.020
in Boulder are the attitudes that we see in many parts of the country, where the elite believe that they know better
00:50:34.800
than other people, how other people should govern themselves, run their lives. And the elite are imposing
00:50:41.740
regulations, taxes, other burdens on people, because it's really best for them.
00:50:47.440
And I think that freedom is at risk right now. And I think what we see in the rest of Colorado are
00:50:54.880
people rising up. We've had a number of very peaceful rallies from conservatives who are showing
00:51:02.580
appreciation for the police, who are showing their, you know, their appreciation for freedom and
00:51:09.040
those who protect our freedoms. And I think it's very clear that Americans have had enough of this
00:51:15.140
nonsense. When they see buildings being burned down, they know that's not a peaceful protest to discuss
00:51:22.040
race or any other issue. They know that's a group of people that are trying to destroy this country.
00:51:26.480
You know who Edmund Randolph was. And the things that he talked about, Americans, they don't cherish,
00:51:38.480
I mean, the older generation does, but I don't think they stand up for the things that, you know,
00:51:46.820
Yeah, I think, you know, it's interesting. I, in my role as a congressman, I have these young people
00:51:56.220
in their 20s, who come to work for me for next to nothing. And they live in groups of three or four
00:52:02.460
in a one bedroom apartment in DC, because it's so expensive. And they do it because they absolutely
00:52:07.760
love the idea of promoting freedom. And they want to be involved. And they care so much about their
00:52:12.820
country. My son went to West Point. You know, he was in the military for eight years. I looked at
00:52:18.840
his fellow cadets at West Point and the people he served with in the military. What a great group of
00:52:25.740
young people we have in this country. And yet we ignore them. If it wasn't for you and some others,
00:52:31.260
Glenn, we wouldn't even celebrate the fact that we have this younger generation that just loves this
00:52:36.660
country and is not going to allow the left to destroy it. Yeah, we have. It's amazing. It's just
00:52:44.280
like the rest of society. It is really split. It's unevenly split. But there are millions of 20
00:52:50.600
somethings that are of tremendous hope to me, because they get it. They are much, they're much
00:52:57.880
further and more mature than I ever was when I was in my 20s. They're really well educated. And again,
00:53:05.120
that goes back to the the crux of our conversation here is, I think the left knows that and they are
00:53:11.900
intentionally destroying education. They are trying to stop us from teaching all history. People don't
00:53:18.440
even know that we're a republic and not a democracy. And they don't know the difference. And that is a
00:53:23.780
huge, huge problem. They don't know how our system works. They don't care how our system works.
00:53:30.300
And we're about to throw all of it away. Silently, really silently, because people are just like,
00:53:38.980
I don't really like it anymore. I think we can try something new. No, that this was a really hard
00:53:44.640
thing to get. And we've screwed it up. And they know they are dismantling us by not teaching history.
00:53:52.000
And what I see, and I have to tell you, it's one of the great ironies, I think, that will come out of
00:53:58.780
this whole COVID time that we're living in. And that is that kids are home with their parents,
00:54:06.360
and they're being educated. And I think you are going to see a new generation of homeschoolers. I
00:54:11.560
think you're going to see a new generation of people that recognize the frailty of public schools
00:54:17.960
and the inability of public schools to teach their kids. And they're going to get more involved in
00:54:23.800
their kids' education. They may not be homeschoolers, but maybe they'll just supplement
00:54:27.860
their kids' education on nights and weekends. And maybe they'll get involved and take their kids
00:54:32.900
to the U.S. Capitol and to our nation's Capitol and show our kids the history, the great abundant
00:54:38.940
history that we have all around us. And I think that if people are, you know, when you put your kid
00:54:45.720
on the school bus in the morning and then met them in the afternoon or went to see their sports
00:54:51.300
in the afternoon and sat down at dinner at night, you just made some assumptions about the education
00:54:56.300
system. Now parents are getting to see how bad our public education system is in some areas
00:55:03.440
and how much they need to get involved with their kids' lives. And I think it's a blessing that
00:55:08.760
a lot of these things are happening so that it's waking us up, it's opening our eyes.
00:55:16.380
If that's true, and I hope that it is, and it is to some degree in my own life where I am seeing
00:55:24.880
people wake up and go, wait a minute, what exactly is going on? And it will be a blessing if we take
00:55:32.660
the time to recognize what's going on and then do something about it. But I think a lot of people feel,
00:55:38.440
you know, helpless. I mean, we've, I feel helpless, quite honestly, on big tech. I know what big tech
00:55:48.160
is doing. I know how they are cozying up to, you know, the state. I know that they want regulation
00:55:55.840
because that's the way to put all the other competitors out of business. I know that they
00:56:00.660
are going to affect the election. I don't know what to do about it. And I think there's on almost
00:56:05.940
every front, that's the way Americans feel. What do we do?
00:56:08.500
Well, we had a great hearing. I'm on the antitrust subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee. We had a
00:56:15.280
great hearing with four of the tech leaders a couple weeks ago. And I can tell you that there
00:56:21.400
is bipartisan sentiment that the large, high-tech platforms need to be, well, that they have a
00:56:31.800
monopolistic control and that they show bias in their political leanings and that they are invading
00:56:38.480
our privacy and that they need to be, we need to have legal changes, changes to the law, so that the
00:56:47.480
regulators and the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice
00:56:52.040
can regulate these giants so that they don't crush innovation in this country and so that there is
00:56:59.700
true competition in the marketplace. And I think you're going to see both parties move in that
00:57:04.960
direction because what's happening right now is really opening the door for Red China to get involved
00:57:13.440
and take more and more market share in this country.
00:57:17.480
I'd like to have you back on just to talk about the regulation because, Ken, I think regulation
00:57:22.080
on these companies, that's what the big three automakers did with FDR. That's why they were the
00:57:28.220
big three automakers and we lost Auburn and all of these other great companies because Congress went to
00:57:35.720
the big three and said, okay, you guys help us with regulation. How can we help you? And that regulation
00:57:44.260
never works out for the conservatives, ever works out for conservatives or people who believe in
00:57:49.820
personal responsibility and actual freedom. So, Ken, thank you so much for being on with us.
00:57:57.000
He's got a new book out called Capital of Freedom that you can pick up wherever books are sold.
00:58:03.580
Uh, and, uh, it's, it's a book that, uh, perhaps you can read with your kids and family and learn
00:58:11.000
what's really, uh, going on. Also, you can watch, uh, the special that revolves around his, uh, his book
00:58:17.620
on HBO called drain the swamp. Uh, his book was called how corruption is worse than you think.
00:58:24.320
And if that's not an understatement, Ken, every day, I've said that for years, it's worse than you
00:58:31.240
think. Every day I look at it and go, oh, I, I don't even know how to describe it anymore.
00:58:37.680
It is. And it, and it, it keeps getting worse. Unfortunately, we, we are, and they buy
00:58:42.800
partisan bankruptcy. It's very sad. Uh, Ken, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Uh, representative
00:58:48.640
Ken Buck from Colorado. You can follow him at buck.house.gov. All right. Norton is our sponsor

without any sort of protection. That's exactly what you're doing. Especially if you're going on
00:59:12.200
any public wifi, these can be hacked. I go into the hotel and I just, uh,
00:59:18.640
use their password. Hmm. Really? Even when there's a password protecting them, uh, there's
00:59:26.080
trouble. There's most times there's not even a password, but there's no security at all on public
00:59:33.240
wifi. That's why you need Norton 360 to protect all of your devices. With Norton, you're getting

at risk. You're also going to get a VPN that uses bank grade encryption to keep your information and
00:59:49.880
things like logins and passwords more secure and private when you're on wifi. It even helps you when
00:59:55.960
you're on public wifi, which is about the most dangerous thing of all. So I want you to check

01:00:22.420
We have a teacher on tomorrow's program that we're going to have to disguise her voice. She's
01:00:40.920
absolutely terrified about what she wants to talk about. And that is that teachers now need to have
01:00:51.580
critical race theory training. This is Marxism. Um, and, uh, the curriculum going for the students
01:01:04.960
as well. Uh, this is happening now in California. It may be happening elsewhere. This teacher is
01:01:12.280
terrified about what is happening in our schools, less terrified about what's going to be happening to
01:01:19.360
her. If people find out who she is, it's important that we don't out these whistleblowers. Um, because
01:01:27.740
if we get rid of all the whistleblowers, there's nothing left, but terrified teachers or Marxists.
01:01:33.500
Um, she'll be on with us on tomorrow, uh, on tomorrow's broadcast. You don't want to miss it as we get into,
01:01:39.900
uh, what's happening in our schools. Uh, it is a hostile takeover by the Marxist and it is
01:01:47.620
well-financed and well-planned. The New York times is a, is a big part of it with the 1619 project.
01:01:55.220
It is absolutely a poison pill and needs to be stopped. And the only way to stop it is for you
01:02:03.400
to get involved in your local school district. You must be involved. You have to see you call your
01:02:11.640
school right now and make sure your kids are not going back to school. If that 1619 project,
01:02:17.100
pull them out of that class. If that's, what's being taught, pull them out of that class.
01:02:23.460
You need to ban with other, um, uh, students and other parents and get that out of your school.
01:02:32.620
It is already in thousands of American schools and everybody thinks, Oh, it's no big deal. It is a
01:02:39.440
poison pill. If that's what they're teaching in history, it isn't history. They even admit it.
01:02:47.100
It must be taken out. If your school district is having your teachers take classes on critical
01:02:55.040
race theory, that is Marxism straight up from Karl Marx. You've got to pay attention. And on tomorrow's
01:03:06.740
program, we're going to be getting into that on tomorrow's radio program on tomorrow night's
01:03:11.640
television program. Something just as urgent, the great reset. You know, there were times when we
01:03:19.740
talked during the tea party times where I said, they're just overwhelming the system. They're
01:03:23.920
trying to wear you out. I hope you're not worn out yet because this is just begun and it is all hands
01:03:31.680
on deck. You cannot sit on the sidelines with this one. The future of our nation really is, uh, at stake
01:03:40.060
and the future for your children is at stake. Now, what happens with the next election? I want to talk
01:03:48.700
to the woman who actually listened to people last time and called the election, right? One of the only
01:03:54.500
ones next program. She did that in, uh, in 2016. Let's see what she says. Now Patriot mobile. One of
01:04:04.660
the most important things we can do for our children right now, but when we, when our country is hell
01:04:09.640
bent on suicide and, and leftist educating them, support the next generation of freedom, loving

This is the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to it. We have Selena Zito. She's joining us. Selena is
01:05:33.000
really one of the, uh, most honest reporters I have ever met. Uh, you know, back in the day,
01:05:41.300
uh, I was, I was skeptical of every reporter, not skeptical enough. Um, and I'd seen all of the
01:05:48.980
tricks and this reporter said she wanted to do an interview and I was like, uh-huh. And we set for
01:05:55.140
an interview and she asked tough questions, uh, but she actually got the story right. Um, she was
01:06:02.340
working in Pittsburgh at the time. Now she's everywhere. She's a national political reporter
01:06:07.700
for the Washington Examiner. She's a columnist for the New York post, the author or coauthor
01:06:13.580
of the book, the great revolt, which kind of goes into why Donald Trump won in 2016. If the press
01:06:20.700
ever cared to read it, they would know why, uh, he won and they would stop doing what they're doing
01:06:26.200
quite honestly. Um, but, uh, Selena joins me now. Cause I just read one of your columns,
01:06:32.180
Selena so much the same, but so much different in Pennsylvania this election year. You got it right
01:06:39.480
last time. What are you feeling and seeing so far with what 80 days away from the election?
01:06:46.940
Oh, well, first of all, thanks for having me on. I remember that first interview. Well,
01:06:51.160
it was in Columbus, Ohio. And I could tell you were like, all right, who is this girl? What's
01:06:56.300
he up to? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't trust anybody. Uh, awesome. Yeah. But what I love about you is
01:07:07.500
you actually listen to people. Um, you did in that interview and you are, as a reporter, you're one
01:07:14.720
of the only people that still go to the coffee shops and you talk to people in the supermarket,
01:07:19.780
you talk to real people. And that's what gave you such an edge last time when you were the only one
01:07:26.540
saying, uh, guys, he's going to win. He's going to win. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you're hit on a key
01:07:32.420
point, Glenn. And, and it's not even as much as that I, you know, um, get out of town, if you will,
01:07:40.540
I'm always on the road. I have done that continuously through COVID. Um, but responsibly,
01:07:46.700
I always have a mask on. I always keep a distance from some, from, from people, all people, um, but
01:07:52.840
still able to understand what's continuously going on. I never take highway. I never take like
01:07:59.560
interstates and turnpikes. I stick to the back roads because that's where you can understand and
01:08:05.400
listen to people listening. Who cares what I think I'm, I'm one person. It's listening to people in
01:08:14.460
their communities and in their hometowns and in their homes is where you understand where the
01:08:19.480
election is going. And so I just came back. Yeah. Go ahead. From you, you were, so you were on the
01:08:25.420
back roads in Pennsylvania and what did you find the same and what did you find different and what
01:08:30.120
does it mean? Well, you know, I think all of us can say if we, if we, if we, if we drive past
01:08:36.740
something pretty quickly, it'll look like it did every year, right? Like, you know, people are in
01:08:43.300
their yards, people are, you know, getting food to eat. But then when you slow down and you really
01:08:49.920
look, you can see how much things are changed. Uh, and that goes from how we eat to where we eat
01:08:56.420
and how we look when we, um, when we participate in things that are outside of our homes. We have
01:09:02.800
masks on, we keep a distance, we don't eat inside, we eat outside and we are American. So we try to
01:09:10.520
adapt as much as we, we can, but there's been also so much taken away from us. And, and, you know,
01:09:19.160
and a lot of that is just simple joys, like hugging your grandchildren, hugging your parents.
01:09:25.620
You know, if you, if you're someone that has to be out of the public, you do that very reluctantly
01:09:30.980
because there's so much unknown. So one of the things, uh, besides, you know, watching people
01:09:36.760
eat, one of the things that I noticed is, and this is one of the things I pointed out in 2016 and
01:09:43.600
everyone sort of laughed at me. And that was the amount of Trump signs. And then, and people would
01:09:49.140
say rightly so that signs don't vote. They don't vote, but they tell this story or part of the story
01:09:58.500
about enthusiasm. And in 2016 in Pennsylvania, it was insane. Well, it looks remarkably different
01:10:06.860
from 2016 in that there are more Trump signs and people don't just have one, they have, or they have
01:10:13.740
a flag. And the most important sign you see is the one that's homemade, which you see hundreds of them
01:10:21.000
that defines a, um, a more, um, a more strident enthusiasm than just going down to the local,
01:10:30.580
um, you know, Republican, uh, committee headquarters. Yeah. Yeah. And pick it up now in 2016, you saw
01:10:39.480
very few Clinton signs. Most Clinton signs you saw were Clinton for jail. This year I have Biden signs.
01:10:48.500
Um, so, uh, I've stopped to talk to people. My assumption, and this is why you should listen to
01:10:56.100
people. My assumption was, especially in particular in some of these rural places where I've read
01:11:02.560
numerous, uh, stories in the New York times and the Washington post about how these voters are turning
01:11:08.440
on Trump. So in my head, I'm thinking, well, they voted for Trump and they didn't, uh, and they're not
01:11:14.340
going to this time. But when you listen, you find out that these are people that voted for Clinton.
01:11:20.580
You know, it wasn't like nobody in Pennsylvania voted for Clinton. Trump only won by 40,000 votes.
01:11:26.300
But what it then, and I think this is so fascinating. What they have told me to a person is,
01:11:32.680
you know, we couldn't even get Clinton to, they didn't even know this county existed in Pennsylvania.
01:11:38.560
You know, they, they didn't, they didn't care. They didn't think that was important. Well, in rural,
01:11:45.900
ex-urban, uh, and suburban areas, sometimes that's incredibly important when people live further apart.
01:11:52.840
And, and, and in particular now, you know, they want to place in a way to show their,
01:11:58.500
how they feel about something. Um, but a sign is a good way to do that.
01:12:03.740
And so that's what I have seen that has changed. There are about more Biden signs out there than
01:12:09.260
there were Clinton, but I would still say that Trump signs over Biden signs are a hundred fold
01:12:16.540
more. Now, what does that mean? Go ahead. Well, I wanted to, I wanted to ask you, um, there just based
01:12:24.080
on a couple of headlines just today, Americans are growing less willing to beg for permission to make
01:12:29.580
a living. Uh, next one, faith leaders protest, Governor Newsom's order, barring in-person worship.
01:12:36.300
Uh, a poll reveals half of Democrats don't think Joe Biden will serve all four years if elected
01:12:42.220
president. Um, who is going to pay? Do you think, and who is going to be blamed for the, the riots on
01:12:51.640
the streets, the, uh, not being able to go to work? Who's going to be blamed? Is that going to be on
01:12:58.300
Donald Trump or is that, do you think going to be on the democratic party? Well, you know,
01:13:05.340
Donald Trump has certainly has plenty of faults, but one of them is not that he's to blame for
01:13:12.460
riots and that, and he's to blame for these, uh, these cities that are having these, you know,
01:13:19.280
massive protests. Uh, I have a story coming up in the wall street journal about how people are
01:13:25.100
fleeing to, to, to move out of big cities in America, um, because of these protests and these
01:13:34.280
riots, but also because of COVID. But, um, but you know, the places where it's the most restrictive
01:13:41.160
when there's the least liberty available are the ones that are run by Democrats, whether it's a state
01:13:48.500
or a city and, and, you know, people aren't dumb, you know, they understand who's impacting their
01:13:57.280
lives. And, and, and while there might be some, there might be people out there, look, they could
01:14:04.580
just never vote for Donald Trump. They just won't show up to vote for Joe Biden. And so I think that
01:14:12.020
that, that is the thing we don't understand, you know, in my book, the great revolt, which I wrote
01:14:17.540
with Brad Todd in the back, we get, we're really nerdy and we did a lot. We did polling after I went
01:14:24.840
out and did the anecdotal reporting. We wanted to make sure we understood that the reporting matched
01:14:29.880
up with the data. One of the most important data in there, uh, 34% of self-identified Trump voters in
01:14:38.500
Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Iowa did not tell a family member, a friend,
01:14:45.380
or a pollster that they were going to vote for Donald Trump. And to be honest, 2016 seems like
01:14:50.680
a Disney movie compared to what we're experiencing right now. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I think there's a lot
01:14:58.440
of people that are out there that just won't put a yard. I wouldn't put a yard sign on my yard.
01:15:04.760
Uh, I wouldn't put a bumper sticker on my car. I'm going to have my car vandalized for a bumper
01:15:09.680
sticker. Um, you know, and I hear that from people all the time. I hear that from people all
01:15:19.600
the time. They don't want to put signs in their yard. In particular, the closer you get to a city,
01:15:24.560
they don't want to put a sign in their yard. They don't want to put a bumper sticker.
01:15:28.440
They're worried for a number of reasons. How not so much as hell as much it impacts them,
01:15:32.920
but how does this impact my family? How does this impact my teenage kids? How does this impact
01:15:37.540
my job? If I own a business, are people going to just cancel my business because I support Donald
01:15:42.840
Trump? Uh, Selena, will you hold on just a second? Do you have time to hang on, do another

01:17:25.340
Welcome to the, welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We have, uh, Selena Zito on, uh, with
01:17:31.460
us, Selena. Um, I, um, I want to continue our conversation about the people that you're
01:17:37.880
talking to in specifically in Pennsylvania and what you're seeing. You called it right.
01:17:43.020
The last time you were one of the only journalists that had it right last time. Um, and I think
01:17:47.480
that's because you stop and you listen and you talk to people, regular people. Have you talked
01:17:53.220
to Democrats about socialism and the riots and BLM and you know, this cancel culture? Are
01:18:00.400
they feeling like their party, the democratic party is part of that or part of the solution
01:18:07.880
Yeah, I talked to, um, plenty of Democrats and, you know, in particular in Pennsylvania,
01:18:13.740
now if you're in the center of the largest, two large cities, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia,
01:18:20.440
um, uh, you know, there are, um, very progressive enclaves for the most part though, uh, Pennsylvania
01:18:27.660
Democrats tend to be a little more moderate. Um, some of them are very actually culturally
01:18:32.940
conservative. Uh, some of them are willing to cross party lines all the time, but those
01:18:37.840
are, those who are not still are incredibly concerned about what they see as, as being, if not
01:18:47.440
supportive and not dismissive enough of the, uh, actions that are happening in these larger
01:18:56.660
cities, but they're also concerned about the creep of socialism within their party, because
01:19:03.260
these are not values that they hold. And a lot of them had parents or grandparents that,
01:19:09.000
that fought in wars to protect that from coming and being part of American society. So yes, there's
01:19:16.660
definitely, they definitely are concerned about the lack of dismissing that and the cancel culture
01:19:23.240
really deeply concerns everyone because we look at ourselves as Americans. And one of the things that
01:19:30.100
we're most sort of proud of is our ability to be able to speak our mind. And, and even seeing
01:19:38.700
sometimes the most simplest thing can be twisted and turned by the curators of our culture. And you'll
01:19:45.340
become a bad guy or a bad girl without saying anything more, um, not without saying anything
01:19:53.660
that is terribly egregious, but words are twisted and turned, and that is deeply concerning.
01:19:58.920
So tell me how much the VP, uh, selection matters. Uh, and I'm talking about heartland Democrats.
01:20:07.340
Um, if 50% of Democrats don't think he's going to finish out the term, the VP pick has got to be one
01:20:13.420
of the most important things. If he picks a black woman that not a lot of people know, or is a radical
01:20:20.860
is, is that important? The media would say that's the most important thing, or is it just to have
01:20:27.900
somebody who is well-known, respected, uh, not radical, even if they're black or white, it doesn't matter.
01:20:36.580
Right. So I think people, more than any other presidential, um, ticket in, in my lifetime,
01:20:46.340
are people most focused on who the pick is because of Biden's age, but also because of some of the,
01:20:55.140
all of the gaps he has had that, that show that he's not as sharp as he used to be. Uh, so it is,
01:21:04.020
uh, more important in this one, and it's not a geographical pick that used to be a really big
01:21:10.140
thing, right? Pick a person because of their state. Uh, I think that last, that went out the
01:21:15.380
window with Tim Cain in Virginia, but, uh, you know, this person needs to be pretty even keeled
01:21:22.400
and, uh, thoroughly vetted, which is why I tend to think it's going to be one of the women and not
01:21:30.880
Amy Klobuchar because she took herself out, but one of the women that were standing on the stage
01:21:35.460
during the debates this year, because they have been the most. Yep. Yep. Okay. Real quick. Cause
01:21:42.500
I've got less than, uh, less than probably 30 seconds. Now is the Trump coalition, those,
01:21:47.220
those Democrats that voted for Donald Trump, uh, is that coalition still alive?
01:21:53.260
His coalition has not changed. He is the people that voted for him in 2016 are still there.
01:21:59.120
I would argue that he's grown more people and more exurban and rural areas where he needs to earn
01:22:05.480
and the whole votes are in the suburban areas. And he, he needs to focus on earning that vote,
01:22:15.960
Selena Zito from selenazito.com. Make sure you follow her.
01:22:22.900
Hello America. And welcome to the program. I just want to get a, uh, I want to get a, uh,
01:22:31.040
a feel on you and where you are, what's happening in your life. What are the changes that have happened
01:22:37.380
because of COVID, uh, that you are, you are seeing and what are the things that you can't believe?
01:22:43.840
I mean, there's little things, uh, that are starting to really bother me and, and realize
01:22:51.440
what this means just basically on the supply chain. Uh, and I, uh, I, I am, I am so ready to go back
01:23:02.500
to work and to leave my house. What was nice for a while is now like, okay, come on, come on,
01:23:09.500
come on, come on, let's get back to work. And I'm to the point where I don't really care what
01:23:15.660
anybody else says. I really, I really don't. Uh, it's, it's time. It's time we get to back to work
01:23:22.460
and Russia just came out. They, they're calling it Sputnik. Uh, but they say they have the vaccine
01:23:30.140
for COVID. How many of us will be the first to line up for that vaccine from Russia? I don't think so.
01:23:38.320
All this and your phone call, 888-727-BECK. Call us now, uh, 877-BECK. Call us, call it,
01:23:48.680
727-BECK. It's been so long since I've given it. 888-727-BECK. Call us now. We begin in 60
01:23:56.840
seconds. The Glenn Beck Program. Yeah, that's, that's right, Stu. Go ahead. Radio Hall of Fame.
01:24:03.280
I knew it was coming. Well, nominee, nominee, uh, not in it, not in it.
01:24:08.060
No, no. Do you know when, when do they decide whether or not I get in it?
01:24:12.220
I think they just made the decision if they're listening right now. Uh, yeah. Right. Okay.
01:24:16.260
Thank you. No, I don't know. Actually, I think maybe in the next few weeks, I believe is the,
01:24:20.300
uh, you know, it's, it would be an honor. It's an honor just to be nominated. Blah,
01:24:24.420
blah, blah. Second time, uh, nominee, uh, it would be better to actually win it. Um, but it
01:24:31.200
is, you know, honor to be nominated. It's actually a really big deal, which is why I'm not really
01:24:35.600
excited about it because I just don't believe it's going to happen. You know, it's just,
01:24:39.160
it's not going to happen. Have you listened to this show? Really? I'm forced to do it every
01:24:44.520
single day. I know. I'm, and I'm sorry. I pay you a lot of good money to do it. Uh, I don't
01:24:50.460
know why people do it for free. Anyway, uh, Reggie from Florida has been suffering a lot
01:24:54.640
of pain. He's, uh, he's just had this now for years between the pain and the stiffness
01:24:59.680
that usually comes along with it. He's been really frustrated for some time. He heard about
01:25:03.940
relief factor, jumped on the opportunity to give it a try. A smart man. Uh, Reggie, I wish I had
01:25:10.060
done the same, but I didn't. I was not as smart as you. Uh, he says in four days of starting the use
01:25:17.640
of relief factor, he noticed the pain and the stiffness were beginning to melt away. He's getting
01:25:22.980
his life back now. And so can you, I got my life back. It's not a drug, but it was developed by
01:25:28.580
doctors and 70% of the people who go on to try it, go on to order more month after month because it
01:25:34.360
works. It reduces inflammation. And I know ibuprofen does that too. Ibuprofen is for me,
01:25:41.360
it's crap. I mean, just give me a handful of candy corn. Uh, I would be happier and it would
01:25:47.340
probably do well. It would probably set things off, but I'd be happier with candy corn than a bunch of
01:25:53.380
ibuprofen. Uh, ibuprofen. This actually works. I don't know how or why, but it does relief factor.com
01:25:59.780
or call 800-500-8384. It's relief factor.com 800-500-8384 relief factor.com.
01:26:10.680
All right. I got a lot of stuff to talk to you about how the communists are infiltrating everything
01:26:15.540
and the Democrats, but can I save it for tomorrow? Cause I just, oof. Yes. Does this job get to you
01:26:23.120
sometimes where you're just like, I can't do it. I can't do it anymore. It does get a little bit
01:26:28.260
overwhelming. It seems like there's a constant flow of, uh, really terrible news all the time.
01:26:33.840
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So there's a couple of things that I'm doing that, uh, you know, I'm,
01:26:40.400
I'm, I'm ready to flee the city. I don't know if anybody knows that. Um, but I'm ready to get out
01:26:46.180
of, Hmm. What city do you live in? You live nowhere near 40 minutes from a city. Yeah, that's close
01:26:52.920
enough. That's close enough to be called the city for me for what's coming. That's close enough. I
01:26:57.780
just want to, I just, anyway, I was, Tanya and I have talked about putting an addition on our house
01:27:04.460
at the ranch because all of the family would be living together. And that's just insanity. I mean,
01:27:10.760
I'll be praying for Christ to return if that happens. So when you're living on top of each
01:27:16.200
other, so, uh, we wanted to build an addition. Well, I just got a, I got a phone call from the
01:27:22.040
builder and he's like, I, I can't guarantee that if we start this, we're going to be able to finish
01:27:27.880
this at any time. Cause we can't get the lumber. Uh, there's lots of things that I'm just,
01:27:33.580
the, the lumber and the, the supplies for the sheet rock and everything else. They were told
01:27:39.660
by the major supplier in the mountain West that they won't be able to get them and those supplies
01:27:47.020
and they don't know when they'll come in and that's indefinitely. So it's not like a six or 12
01:27:53.920
week or, you know, four months, 18 months, two years. It's just, we don't know. We have no idea
01:28:01.860
when it's going to be able to come incredible. This is America. It's, it's amazing. And it's
01:28:07.520
unlike the depression. You would think all of these people are out of work. And so you would think
01:28:12.220
like during the depression, you could still get the things to build, but nobody had the money to
01:28:17.600
build. Right. But if you had the money, you were providing all of these jobs. That's not happening
01:28:23.140
now because there's so many things that they can't, they can't do. Do you concrete is three times
01:28:29.860
the cost now? It's, it's concrete because they haven't like shut down construction per se. They
01:28:35.700
haven't shut down a lot of these industries, but is that the reason? Is it, is it, is it a supply
01:28:40.360
chain issue that earlier on in the supply chain things are closed down? So, so somewhere the next
01:28:45.500
step is not, it's not getting done. It's a factor of two things. One, if you're living in a state where
01:28:51.860
Californians and people from Michigan and Illinois and everything else are like, I'm getting out of here,
01:28:58.920
man. If you live in one of those States, you live in Florida, you live anywhere in the mountain West.
01:29:03.760
Do you live? I talked to my sister in Cody, Wyoming, and she's like, Glenn, the property values are
01:29:09.200
insane. People are just buying stuff sight unseen. She's like, I can put property up today. It will be
01:29:15.400
sold by the end of the day without anybody even looking at it. Yeah. Um, you know, people are just
01:29:21.180
moving out of the States that are becoming oppressive and they're going to wreck all of
01:29:27.440
the great places. Oh, you people. Um, but, uh, so you've got the two things that are happening. You
01:29:35.240
have, um, the, the lack of enough supply line for a lot of stuff. And then on top of it, you have
01:29:44.500
just the industry in certain States just going crazy. Everybody's building. Yeah. Which is
01:29:52.220
interesting. You wouldn't think that those two problems would be happening at the same time,
01:29:55.860
but I guess, no, I guess that's part of it. No, I, I, I, I was talking to a home builder who's
01:30:00.980
actually works here, uh, in, uh, in, in the Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas area. And he said the same thing.
01:30:08.040
They, they want to do all these big projects. They can't do them because they can't get the
01:30:12.760
supplies, the basic building supplies to build homes. And, and that is just, you know, we, I can't
01:30:20.140
remember ever hearing about that problem, uh, in America. Uh, it's a bizarre place to be, especially
01:30:26.440
when, when you want to put people back to work, there's a lot of companies that want to build
01:30:29.900
projects. They're like, this is a great time. People are available. People are ready. Maybe we,
01:30:34.120
you know, we're getting a deal on certain things because of the economy is down a little bit.
01:30:37.600
And they can't even take advantage of those things because they can't get the basic supplies
01:30:40.700
they need. We've got glass, uh, a glass wall that is waiting to put into a new studio at Mercury.
01:30:48.780
We've been working on it forever. This, the, the glass is delayed until like end of September.
01:30:55.200
We ordered it, I don't know, month and a half ago, two months ago. I mean, it's, and, and the,
01:31:00.420
the construction people are saying all the same thing. We're just waiting. We're waiting for
01:31:05.180
these products to arrive and nobody knows when they're going to arrive. I was talking to a friend
01:31:10.520
of mine who runs, um, one of the places for, um, uh, Ralph Lauren. And, uh, you know, we were just
01:31:18.020
chatting and I said, so how's, how's business? He's like, we're closed. We're closed. And I said,
01:31:24.160
well, what is, what is that like? Yeah. Some of the stores are just closed. Um, and he said,
01:31:30.600
and we're getting all kinds of pressure. We're going to open up again. So getting all kinds of
01:31:35.240
pressure to sell. He said, but we don't have any new product. We said, we only have what we had on
01:31:40.000
the shelves. He said, I don't know when we're getting our, our, uh, you know, fall line. I
01:31:45.560
don't, and it's happened everywhere with almost every clothing manufacturer. They don't know when
01:31:52.000
they're going to introduce the fall line of clothing. They're still sitting with the spring and
01:31:56.280
summer stuff that now as you're going into, you know, coat season, they're like, I don't have
01:32:01.520
any sweaters. We don't have them yet. I mean, we're just seeing things that nobody is thinking
01:32:05.940
about. Yeah. And all that stuff's going to back up. I keep thinking about that with entertainment
01:32:09.640
too. It's like, we're going to have this flood of movies that were scheduled to come out this year
01:32:14.460
that as soon as we have the availability, right, they're going to come out kind of packed together
01:32:20.120
all at once, but there's nothing in the pipeline. There's no new seasons of the shows that you,
01:32:24.140
that you love. There's, I mean, maybe they're writing a lot of good episodes, but other than
01:32:28.280
that, much, much of this stuff isn't happening at all. And even when it is happening, I was hearing
01:32:32.320
them describe how they're filming these shows, Glenn, where like horrible, all of the off,
01:32:37.420
you know, all of the actors come in and they do, they do walk through their lines and they all have
01:32:40.880
to leave. Then all the lightning, lighting people come in all separate because they're not,
01:32:44.220
they don't want to pass COVID to each other. So they come in, they leave. And then the people come
01:32:47.640
in with a set and they go to all, I mean, it's going to take 10 times as long and cost God only knows
01:32:51.640
how much more, and it's going to take forever to get you the actual shows. I mean, that's a dumb
01:32:56.020
minor one, but it's something that affects people's lives. I mean, we, I don't know about
01:33:00.080
you, but we've been looking through Netflix and Apple and everything else. We're like, seen it,
01:33:03.900
seen it, seen it, you've seen all of Netflix, seen it. I mean, it feels like it. Yeah. I know
01:33:10.600
feels like it. Yeah. I finished up reading everything on the internet yesterday. So now I'm all,
01:33:16.160
I'm all caught up. Yeah. I'm caught up to the internet. Really? Yeah. I don't know if there's
01:33:20.340
anything new today, but as of right now, I've got nothing left to read, which is, which is
01:33:24.600
something we actually got in the middle of this pandemic. My wife is, who is a bit of a,
01:33:29.560
she, she likes cleaning. She, she's a little bit obsessive about cleaning products. And as,
01:33:35.040
as the, as the, as the, the, you know, the COVID kicked in and the death started piling up,
01:33:40.140
she was like, I need more paper towels. Right. Cause that's what she would of course do in,
01:33:44.300
in a situation like that. She needed paper towels. Now we had some paper towels and she's not a
01:33:48.920
hoarder, but she, she was getting scared that we were getting low on paper towels,
01:33:53.740
particularly a bounty select a size paper towels, which is the ones that she always buys. Cause she
01:33:59.180
likes, she could pick them in all different sizes. As you know, Glenn, I mean, everyone thinks about
01:34:02.360
this as much as I do, I'm sure. So, so it's a April, uh, let's see, April 19th. And my wife,
01:34:12.260
of course, like everyone else on the planet is going online and trying to find a random
01:34:18.060
stores that will sell them paper towels or toilet paper or Clorox wipes, Clorox wipes
01:34:22.960
just now coming back into stores. Uh, but paper towels and toilet paper have been there for
01:34:28.140
a long time. And so, so we had plenty of toilet paper. We were okay there. She wanted more paper
01:34:32.780
towels to be safe. So she just started, you know, searching the internet, which is what you do,
01:34:37.200
right? You know, your Amazon wasn't selling. She found a company in China that was willing to sell
01:34:42.580
her 12 bounty select a size paper towel, giant rolls, uh, for the bargain price of $54. Okay.
01:34:52.680
$54 or all of them for all of them for four of them for 12 of them. Holy $54. Now that is not a
01:34:59.460
good price for 12 rolls of toilet paper, but no, okay. In the middle of a pandemic, you figure
01:35:05.180
you're going to pay a little bit more now. This is not a right. Lovey. This is not a, this is not a,
01:35:11.300
uh, at this point, and I got to say in the middle of this pandemic at this point, I don't care what
01:35:16.060
happens. Like, I'm just hoping we make it through. Uh, my wife, we were in the middle of, of trying
01:35:20.680
to deal with the homeschooling thing and all the craziness. My wife, as you know, very social,
01:35:25.240
not the pandemic, not her situation. It's not her vibe at all. Yeah. So I'm like $54 for paper towels
01:35:30.820
to make you happy for 10 minutes. Fine. Right. Like that's where I was in the middle of this.
01:35:34.460
Got it. So April 19th, she orders them. Obviously they don't come right. Like we all know the paper
01:35:41.880
towels do not show up in the normal time. She's, you know, following the paper towels. They,
01:35:47.960
they are updating the site. I don't know if it's a complete scam or not. They are updating the site
01:35:52.020
slowly. And then it gets to the point where, uh, it's been like now two months. Right. And of course,
01:35:58.620
paper towels are in every store in America. We still have no paper towels from this company.
01:36:02.560
So she does the responsible thing and goes to the credit card. Cause she's tried to cancel it now
01:36:07.920
50 times. They won't let her do it. She goes to the credit card company and says, I'm, you know,
01:36:12.600
canceling this transaction. They never sent me this stuff. She does that. Uh, then a few days later,
01:36:19.260
I guess it was almost August. Okay. Late, late July, we get a package in the mail. She opens it up.
01:36:25.480
She's looking at it. She's like, what is this? Like, what, what is this package? I have it right here.
01:36:29.480
This is the package. Now this is a bounty select a size, 12 paper towels, white giant rolls times
01:36:38.580
two. Okay. Um, and so we open it up and check, what are these? Now you'd think if you ordered
01:36:44.460
bounty paper towels with the label, you'd know exactly what they were, right? Okay. That's right.
01:36:49.840
This is it from China. I'll hold out, pull out one of these rolls. This is how they came.
01:36:54.260
This is the roll of paper towels. Oh my gosh. Now the, the paper towels are smaller. This is a
01:37:03.540
giant roll. Supposedly smaller than a roll of toilet paper. Smaller. Yes. With, except it has
01:37:08.320
no little thing in the middle of the little, uh, you know, the little cardboard. Yeah. There's no way
01:37:11.900
you can tube. And it is, I don't even think they're paper towels. I'm pretty sure it's toilet paper.
01:37:17.320
Uh, and it is a, now this is $54. So you were, no, you were ripped off by, by a Chinese website.
01:37:26.340
I find that so hard to believe. This is a stunner. So I went back to the credit card company. I'm like,
01:37:30.940
we're not, they, cause they, then they said, Oh, actually they delivered it. So they rejected
01:37:35.000
our blocking in the charge for $54 for, for 12 rolls of, of knockoff, not name, not the name brand
01:37:42.120
they promised, not paper towels and not giant. None of the things we ordered and they showed up
01:37:48.160
four months late. Uh, so we had to resubmit. I submitted it with pictures. This is not a giant
01:37:55.420
roll of bounty paper towels. So we're still in the process of, uh, of this fight against the system
01:38:01.440
Glenn that I will not give up until we get $54 back. The oppression, you know, there's a white man
01:38:06.760
made them, those Chinese people do this. You know, it was a white man, a white man enslaved Chinese
01:38:12.740
people and forced them to, to, to, to, to scam us. Right now I have a toilet paper story that I was
01:38:19.640
not going to share with anyone. Uh, but, but since you did the paper towel story, I'm hoping it's not
01:38:26.740
just me and, uh, but it probably, probably is. And you'll understand in a minute. First, uh, let me tell
01:38:33.300
you about simply safe top of the line home security does not have to cost you an arm and a leg.
01:38:39.040
Doesn't have to be complicated. You don't need, I have to tell you, I am losing my mind with our
01:38:44.040
television. I bought a good television. I bought a good remote control. It never works. And I'm five
01:38:51.180
years down the line with this TV and I'm ready to throw it in a pool. Um, anyway, I am so frustrated
01:38:56.980
with stuff that is way too complex to, uh, to use. You don't have that problem with simply safe.
01:39:03.300
The world's a little bit crazier than, uh, you know, I would like, uh, maybe, maybe, maybe you
01:39:08.380
too. And you're thinking, Hey, gee, maybe I should secure my home and my family and my possessions.
01:39:12.760
Well, if that's on your mind, may I recommend simply safe. They make it easy and affordable
01:39:17.640
to have the best home security on the market for a state of the art equipment around the clock
01:39:22.120
monitoring. Simply safe. First name in the business, simply safe, Beck.com simply safe, Beck.com
01:39:28.260
get rid, uh, or get a free HD security camera. When you go to simply safe, Beck.com, make sure you let
01:39:36.040
them know that, uh, that I sent you and you'll, uh, you'll get the HD security camera and really,
01:39:42.380
really the best security that money can buy from simply safe, Beck.com 10 seconds. Station ID.
01:39:58.260
Okay. So, uh, you have the paper towels that are clearly smaller. What do you think? We make
01:40:12.520
them a little smaller. You've got the smaller roll of paper towels. Okay.
01:40:17.140
I haven't, so I'm, I'm, I'm sitting down taking care of my business and I look over to the toilet
01:40:25.640
paper, you know, and it's a strikes me that it's just slightly smaller than toilet paper rolls should
01:40:35.060
be. Now I've looked at toilet paper rolls my whole life. Uh, and you know, I know the, you know,
01:40:41.000
industrial crap that, you know, is one ply and smaller and everything else, you know, for the
01:40:48.320
cheap bosses. Gosh, I hope we don't have that kind of toilet paper at the place. Do we anyway? Um,
01:40:54.780
so I, I understand that that's not this, this is regular toilet paper, but either I have gotten so
01:41:02.680
ginormous that my hands are now so fat and my ass is so big that it just appears to me that the
01:41:13.780
toilet paper roll has shrunk. And that's a possibility, but I think the toilet paper has
01:41:21.540
actually gotten smaller. Has anybody else gone through this where they're like, Hey, wait a minute.
01:41:27.800
This is like 5% smaller. It's not like dramatically smaller. It's just a little smaller. Oh yeah.
01:41:33.840
This happens all the time. I mean, it's a big thing in ice cream where they have taken the old
01:41:38.980
half gallon containers and just like shaved off a couple of percent per year. And now they're in
01:41:44.920
between like a quart and a half gallon and they still sell it for the same price. That's why I think
01:41:49.680
it was, is it blue bell here? I think is it blue bell? I think that does it where they point out
01:41:54.100
still a half gallon. It says like right on the package, still a half gallon because they have not
01:41:58.900
shaved a percentage off. This is a, yes, this is a big thing. Actually, it's a way that the,
01:42:04.780
these companies are able to increase their profits without changing. So I just, I mean,
01:42:10.740
yes, I've gotten fatter. I mean the COVID-19 I blew by 19 months ago. The COVID-19 is almost the
01:42:18.860
COVID-19 at this point. So I know that my hands and everything else have gotten bigger,
01:42:24.080
but there is a possibility then that this is true. I mean, not for you, for you, you're just
01:42:29.900
fatter, but it is possible for, for more. All right. I've come to the point. I feel like a giant.
01:42:35.580
I look at it and I'm like, these are for little people. What is this? I need to, you know what I
01:42:42.080
mean? Yes. I'm at that point now where I look how cute this toilet paper is. I've kind of just
01:42:49.100
like priced in the COVID thing to my current size in that, like, you know, you have these like
01:42:55.180
things where like, you're the same weight for a long time and you gain some weight and you want
01:42:57.780
to lose back to that period. I've just plateaued it now. I've just said, this is my new weight.
01:43:01.500
And now I'll, I'll calculate it from here. I feel like it's actually disrespectful to the victims
01:43:06.420
of the pandemic. If I were to lose this weight, uh, because you know, you'll forget it. Right.
01:43:13.840
When they cure it, then I'll be like, okay, it's time to slip down again. It's a little bit. I'm
01:43:18.060
just getting to the point to where I've got to be able to leave my house soon because I'm losing
01:43:23.580
the ability to walk. Maybe that's just, maybe that's just me. All right. Long ago when the hunters
01:43:32.380
of the tribe came back from killing and somehow managing to pack out a woolly mammoth, I don't
01:43:37.320
even know how they did that. Then they had to stand there in front of a roaring fire, no doubt
01:43:42.440
sweating their butts off watching that mammoth meat. I mean, make sure it didn't burn. I mean,
01:43:48.760
somebody there, is there a cooler way back in the cave to do this somehow? Can we just eat it raw?
01:43:54.100
Really? Thankfully, we've come a long way since man lived in the caves, but we are still many of us
01:44:00.560
standing in front of our stupid grill when it's 5,000 degrees outside. Why not sit inside in the
01:44:08.640
air conditioning with rec tech rec tech grills? They have smart grill technology, really sturdy
01:44:15.800
design, a hopper full of heat and delicious wood smoke. The rec tech stands head and shoulders above
01:44:22.020
the competition. So me like meat tastes good, but I like new fangled air conditioning. Go to rec
01:44:30.180
tech tech, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com. That's R-E-C-T-E-Q.com. Best grill you can find on the market.
01:44:40.260
Join a network that's standing in solidarity, not losing weight for COVID-19.
01:44:45.040
It's blazetv.com slash Glenn, blazetv.com slash Glenn.
01:44:48.540
This is the Glenn Beck program. So glad that you have joined us today. Now, Stu has a dilemma.
01:45:03.500
He purchased from China four rolls of bounty paper towels for $54 or $56?
01:45:13.140
$54. $54. I did actually, to be fair, I got 10. So they were, they were, I did get the bargain
01:45:19.680
basement price of $5.40 for one roll of paper towel would be bad enough. When you buy them in
01:45:24.840
bulk, it's even worse. And when you actually get it, it's not the name brand that you ordered.
01:45:28.940
It's not giant. It's not select a size and it's not paper towels. And it showed up four months late.
01:45:34.620
It's slightly bigger than toilet paper. Yeah. And is it one ply? Is it just, but a little,
01:45:40.980
a slightly wider maybe than toilet paper? Yeah. And doesn't have the cardboard tube in
01:45:45.280
the middle. So you can't really use it. It's, I mean, it's no, you can't put it on any of the
01:45:50.520
rollers for sure. No. So it's a, that's nice. Now you paid $54 for it now. So he said to me during
01:45:56.920
the break, so what do I do with it? And I suggest that you try to sell it on the internet to a bigger
01:46:03.920
sucker than you. Ah, like we're upping the game a little bit. I like that. Cause I mean,
01:46:09.300
yeah, yeah. So I have to get more than $54 out of it. If I sell each one individually,
01:46:15.100
I just have to sell 10 of them. Yeah. I mean, I said there was a sucker born every minute,
01:46:21.100
not every second. Okay. I'm not sure you can sell all 10. That's why they did it in bulk. They know
01:46:26.180
there's somebody so stupid. They will buy this now. We should charge $40 for the $54.
01:46:33.920
on it. There's some dope out there. And that's what happens. Right. And again,
01:46:38.140
your Russian people are living in China. Again, this is the same accent. Yeah. Cause you can't,
01:46:42.640
yeah, you can't have an accent that's a Chinese person or it'll be very, very bad, but Russians
01:46:47.520
I could do all day. Well, as we learned, yeah. And as we learned earlier, it's okay to blame white
01:46:51.220
parents for all, for problems, uh, but no one else. So it's okay. Okay. So what do I do? How do I do?
01:46:56.340
You're the master of, uh, of this. How would I? I'm the master of what? You know,
01:47:01.120
suckering people. And, uh, I mean, you're, you might go into the radio hall of fame. You've
01:47:04.240
obviously been suckering people for years. So anyway, what you would, uh, what you would
01:47:11.480
do is you now have to reclassify it. She was looking for bounty paper towels. So what is
01:47:18.920
it that people are short of right now that you could kind of claim that that's what that
01:47:26.020
is? And I could go for the Clorox wipes. Uh, now this, cause those are just, there's
01:47:32.060
not that big of a shortage. No, there is a big shortage of those have been, they're just
01:47:35.860
getting back into stores. Like they're the people are frantic over these things. How
01:47:40.180
about so disposable masks? Let's see. How's it? I'll try to, they say for, it does look
01:47:48.640
like it could be a disposable mat. Okay. Take two of them. Okay. Now I'll take the other
01:47:53.820
one. So double layer together. Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Cause I could go right now. If you
01:48:00.000
just take a rubber band and you staple it to each end, you could put that on over your
01:48:04.960
ears. So they're disposable. How many, how many sheets in that? Gosh, I can make thousands
01:48:10.680
of disposable masks with us. Right. So this is a, this is a disposable mask, uh, for you
01:48:18.220
and your whole family for the rest of COVID. There'll be hundreds of these that you could
01:48:22.820
make and you sell them by the roll. This is brilliant. Okay. Yeah. So they'll just put
01:48:28.400
like basically a string in one side to the other and sell them for how much do you think
01:48:31.440
could I get for each one? Well, how much are masks? Masks are expensive. Right. That's
01:48:38.560
true. These are disposable. You don't use them a second time. This is, that's crazy using
01:48:42.900
masks cause they're expensive. Using masks, the same mask every time. No, you can, they're
01:48:47.040
disposable. You'll have thousands of masks ready to go. I think this is solid. Okay.
01:48:53.300
You take that roll. You take a, you just take a box of rubber bands. You put a bunch
01:48:58.880
of rubber bands, maybe 10 rubber bands in the box with the roll. There you go. Wait,
01:49:03.820
I don't even attach them. And you sell it for, no, no. So they have to put the paper towels
01:49:11.420
over the face and then just wrap them. Right. And then you, well, no, you would give them
01:49:16.480
some staples maybe. And then they just staple that rubber band to each side and then they
01:49:21.640
put that around their ears. Here, make one. Do you have a stapler right there and a rubber
01:49:25.780
band? No. Why would I, no. I'm going to show you how easy it is to make. No, I don't.
01:49:31.240
Does anybody, can somebody bring into the studio? Yeah. You just, all you do is you're going
01:49:35.360
to fold the two, the four corners. Listen to me here. You're going to take the four corners,
01:49:39.920
lay it out on your table. Okay. And you're going to take the two edges, the four corners,
01:49:45.020
and you're going to put them into like a, like a point. Okay. Fold them in. So it's
01:49:49.280
like a point. Okay. Yeah. On each side. Well, I need a rubber bands. Two rubber bands
01:49:55.560
and a stapler. I'll take a stapler though. I've got a stapler now. Okay. Okay. So now you
01:50:00.580
take those, those two points. All right. You staple them closed. So they're on top of each
01:50:05.920
other on each end. So like this, it kind of comes at a point.
01:50:09.920
Yeah. That's a really poor one, but yes. Yes. Boy. Yeah. There's not a bit of art in
01:50:16.320
your soul. Is there? I actually hate it. Okay. Um, all right. So now, oh, I didn't. Okay.
01:50:23.940
Again, what a surprise. And this is a manufacturing process. It's not art. We're trying to protect
01:50:30.020
people from COVID here. No, no, no. This is life is art. Let's do life is art. Everything
01:50:35.160
you do should be beautiful. Uh, all right. Uh, good. Now you take the rubber band when
01:50:40.060
you get the rubber bands, you have them. Uh, yes, I have. Okay. Now you just, uh, you
01:50:46.320
staple one end of the rubber band to each point. Okay. And so that way it'll go over
01:50:51.560
your ears. Okay. One here. Okay. No, this is looking pretty good, right? This is, and
01:50:59.320
you could do this, you do this yourself. And you, then when you're done using it, you throw
01:51:03.640
it away. Okay. All right. Now we got to, we need somebody that can help us how to post
01:51:10.800
this online. Cause this is great. Okay. So let's get Chris Brady to make, now put it around
01:51:15.800
to your ears. Pull it down. That's it. That's perfect. That's perfect. This is, I
01:51:21.080
can totally go into any store with this. I can make like 5,000 of these things for, for
01:51:25.700
$54. Right. And sell it for $54. Right. You can make, now you're not making it. These
01:51:31.840
are, this is me. See, cause if you put your time in making all those masks, then it's not
01:51:37.060
worth it. Then it's not worth it. You take a handful of rubber bands, some staples and
01:51:41.620
one roll. You got 10 rolls. So you just, you just evenly spread them out. You package
01:51:46.580
it as, and you just put it in a bag and you send it out and they're 30 bucks, 30 bucks
01:51:52.960
for whatever it is, a thousand masks done. Sell it back to the Chinese. I should just start
01:52:01.960
taunting any country that has an outbreak. I could just start. No, no, no. I think we should
01:52:05.900
sell it to the Chinese. What is the, uh, what's the big Chinese like eBay? Oh, we
01:52:12.020
need somebody that can, or one of those type of, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If
01:52:16.100
we can get them on Alibaba, I have no idea how to do that, but I think we should sell
01:52:21.000
them back to the Chinese. I, I, I like this idea a lot. I think we can make some
01:52:26.040
real cash off of this. That should be my goal to see if I can make more than $54 and
01:52:29.720
80 cents off of this, off of these rolls. I think you, I think you charge, I mean,
01:52:36.100
I'm being aggressive, but if you're selling to Chinese, I don't know how much, you
01:52:40.280
know, that they have $30 for a roll of disposable masks. Who knows? I don't know.
01:52:45.540
You know, sell them for $5, $8. It's got to be believable. And remember, you've got time
01:52:50.220
and shipping involved too. So that's, that's true. It could take at least four
01:52:53.020
months for these to arrive. I will tell you that. Um, right. Um, can I put
01:52:59.220
backlog, can I put, uh, should I put Stu does America on it, uh, as a, as a logo or
01:53:04.260
do I want to deny all culpability? If I mean, if you're signing to the Chinese, they
01:53:09.420
don't care. And if you're signing it to, if you're sending it to America, uh, then
01:53:15.080
it could be a celebrity thing and people will be not that you're a celebrity, but
01:53:18.260
it could be that people like, Oh, I want to buy that. Cause you know, as seen on
01:53:23.000
TV, right, right, right. So that would be, that wouldn't be authentic. Is that what
01:53:26.940
your, your cases here? Right, right. And you know, if you made anything over
01:53:31.900
$54, maybe you should donate that to like the Nazarene fund, which we said
01:53:36.440
today, the Nazarene fund is down helping the Christians in Beirut right now. And
01:53:41.400
it is very bad. They really need your help. But if you give, if it's known that
01:53:48.540
you're going to give the money to charity. Yeah. It loses its authenticity
01:53:52.940
there. Yeah. It loses the authenticity of a sucker is born. Uh, that is a bigger
01:53:58.800
sucker than you. You know what I mean? Cause you could have a, you could have a
01:54:02.380
big heart and you'd be like, Oh, I don't know. Those masks might work. And then
01:54:06.480
you get them and you're like, yeah, but it was only, you know, $85 and that's all
01:54:10.940
going to charity anyway. So. And, and to be clear, the mask will not work. Uh, I
01:54:16.440
will say all, all the, it's actually importing virus from China. As your attorney, I
01:54:21.640
didn't hear that. No, of course. What I heard Stu saying is this is the best
01:54:25.320
mask ever, right? Yes, of course. That's what I meant to say. Right. Also, you
01:54:30.380
can't really breathe in. When you breathe in, it just attaches itself to your
01:54:33.800
mouth. Right. That's what, that's what, that's why it works. When you, when you
01:54:38.920
breathe in, it got, it sucks up next to your mouth and then you breathe out. I
01:54:43.700
will say there's an issue with some paper. If, if, if the wetness of your lips
01:54:46.740
hits the, uh, the mask, it will disintegrate and turn into paper like
01:54:50.560
shreds, uh, and then get in your mouth and then you'll definitely have
01:54:53.340
COVID because there's no way this was not made out of COVID-19. I'm not
01:54:57.640
hearing any of that. I'm not hearing any of that. Stations, edit that part
01:55:01.540
out. We're live. Uh, uh, oh crap. Radio Hall of Fame. Well, you didn't hear,
01:55:06.480
here, this isn't the mask you were looking for. Okay. So the old Jedi mind
01:55:13.000
trick, I think will work. I'm not sure. All right. So package that up and
01:55:17.780
then, uh, let's bring it on the air tomorrow. And, uh, I think we'll have
01:55:21.240
it. I think this looks easy. I don't see how I couldn't make a fortune off of
01:55:25.860
this idea. Hey, God bless America. You know what I'm saying? God bless
01:55:30.100
America. They think they can out America us. Nah, you send us paper towels. We
01:55:35.080
make surgical masks out of them. Go ahead. Send us your worst. We're
01:55:39.380
Americans. Uh, all right. Uh, more in just a second. First, let me tell you
01:55:44.960
about our sponsor. Our sponsor this half hour is Zip Recruiter. Hiring is
01:55:52.580
challenging. Like, you know, if Stu goes into this surgical mask business, you're
01:55:58.500
going to find somebody who, you know, is like, wait a minute, I have some ethical
01:56:01.720
qualms about all of this. I'm not sure this is, no, you don't want that person
01:56:05.280
working for you. So how do you do it? How do you do it? Well, you need an
01:56:09.500
algorithm to tell you exactly who's going, who will cut those ethical
01:56:13.620
corners for you. You know what I'm saying? Cause you don't want the usual
01:56:18.000
people as a recruiter will find for you. Cause they'll be honest and
01:56:20.500
everything else. You want to tell Zip Recruiter, look, I'm looking for
01:56:23.480
somebody a little shady and believe it or not, I think their algorithm would be
01:56:27.580
able to find that, uh, for you. So when you're hiring somebody with Zip

01:57:32.500
This is the Glenn Beck program. Just making America stronger every second that we're on
01:57:44.820
the air. Just, you know, really trying to encourage those entrepreneurs like Stu, who's
01:57:51.040
just opened up his new mask business, making lemonade out of lemons. And I commend you for
01:57:58.940
it. It's that kind of ingenuity that is, that innovative thinking, quite honestly, that's
01:58:04.940
going to, it's going to change the world. Yeah. It's pretty, it's a pretty nice mask.
01:58:09.800
We're getting some good ideas. We have capitalists in our audience, as you know.
01:58:13.580
People love America, love capitalism. Kevin writes in, says, hey, just, they are just like
01:58:18.760
they're select a size paper towels. You can market these as select your own level of protection.
01:58:23.380
You can choose as many sheets as you'd like to make it thicker to provide more protection
01:58:30.300
This works pretty well. Brilliant. I mean, not for the virus, but, you know, for making
01:58:35.780
money, it would work really well if people buy them.
01:58:37.640
Well, I think that's probably, you know, I think it's, you know.
01:58:41.380
And we've already had multiple offers here, Glenn. Multiple offers to clear $54.
01:58:46.560
So I think, I think this is going to be a winner.
01:58:49.740
Well, but I think, I mean, but those are the people who are like, I really want to give
01:58:53.320
my money to the Nazarene Fund and it would be fun to do this too. So they're not suckers.
01:58:58.220
No. You know, those are tender, tenderhearted people. And that kind of sucks.
01:59:03.620
You know, because we're looking for the suckers. And really, we're looking to sell it back to
01:59:08.000
the Chinese. And think of this, this has got to go on the box.
01:59:18.920
I like it. That's so, this is like almost like a, it's almost patriotism what you're
01:59:23.460
It is. It's exactly patriotism. You put a little flag there by the, by that statement,
01:59:30.160
made in China, assembled in America. And if your rubber bands come from America or the
01:59:35.680
staples come from America, most, uh, some parts made in China, most made in America and
01:59:47.060
Yeah. That's pretty powerful, Glenn. I mean, in this time, I think people will unite around
01:59:53.120
I think so too. I mean, you were ripped off by the Chinese. Let's rip them off. We need
01:59:59.180
somebody who is Chinese though, because we don't know the culture. And so we gotta, we
02:00:04.700
have to have some things in there that mean something to them. Maybe we put the communist
02:00:11.520
Ah, because then we could put up ads on Chinese websites and sell them back to the Chinese.
02:00:16.420
Correct. Correct. Correct. Because they sold you worthless paper towels for $54 because
02:00:23.480
you're a boob. Fair. I mean, they have like a trillion, right? They have like a trillion
02:00:30.980
people over there. There's gotta be a bigger boob than you. Right? Yeah. I mean, we, not
02:00:37.020
that we know of, but it's possible just because of science. Just because the odds. Yeah. The
02:00:43.840
odds. They're in my favor. I mean, they're having children like crazy. Yeah. The odds. And
02:00:47.640
may they always be in your favor. Wow. We should write that down because I think we're going
02:00:52.260
to probably be, kind of probably be hearing some of that kind of talk soon from our federal
02:00:57.120
government, capital city. That is nice. We've got a lot of these here. May I ask you? No,
02:01:06.040
I'm not going to. Anyone know how long COVID-19 stays on plastic or paper towels? Because if
02:01:10.240
it's longer than four months, I definitely have it now. You guys all just watched me get it
02:01:15.680
on the air. Yeah, you might have it. Cause that definitely, that's a sealed bag with, uh, with
02:01:23.840
Chinese air in it. Oh yeah. Definitely Chinese air. I love, I love this. I love that conspiracy
02:01:31.940
theory. Don't open the bags. They're shipping all the air over to us. Yeah. So the seeds, the seeds
02:01:37.780
that you can plant COVID in your own garden. Right. That's happening. Right. It's happening.
02:01:42.400
It's happening. It's happening. Man, I wish we were on the wrong side. It would be so fun to
02:01:47.940
destroy something, wouldn't it? I mean, it'd be easy. At least it would be easy. This is the Glenn
