00:01:13.220 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:18.800 Well, finally, somebody has done some thinking. School in Florida is taking serious the school

00:01:27.140 safety issue. It has hired two combat veterans armed with semi-automatic rifles to patrol and

00:01:33.680 guard the campus against potential threats. Manatee School for the Arts, Palmetto, Florida,

00:01:40.340 hired school guardians to comply with state legislation requiring schools have at least

00:01:45.580 one safe school officer. So instead of going for the people that, you know, the schools usually

00:01:54.500 hire, they've decided to go to actual experts. Oh my gosh. Panic, everyone. We begin there and also

00:02:03.140 with another school in West Virginia as the program begins in one minute.

00:02:08.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program. When we started telling you about Simply Safe, there were, I think,

00:02:17.480 six employees of this company and we just really believed in them. They were just getting off of their

00:02:26.080 feet and I found out about them and we talked to them and I thought, this is a company that knows what

00:02:32.780 they're doing. A group of people that actually care about people's safety. Now they have three

00:02:37.460 million homes and businesses that they're protecting all across the country. About what, eight months ago,

00:02:43.960 nine months ago, it was two million homes. This is a fast growing company and it's growing fast because

00:02:49.380 it has really done its homework over the years and really gotten their product right. And what their

00:02:55.960 product is, is home security. You own the system, so you're not paying for it endlessly.

00:03:00.980 Obviously, there's no wiring of the system or anything else. Stu's, what is it, your sister-in-law?

00:03:06.300 Sister-in-law lives in an apartment and she needs security. She doesn't want to pay for the big,

00:03:13.000 huge monthly bill.

00:03:14.720 Especially in a rental house. But that's the thing. I mean, when you're renting something and

00:03:18.160 you're going to move around, you don't want to pay that huge bill. You don't want to be locked

00:03:20.380 into a contract forever that you can't get out of when you don't even live in the house anymore.

00:03:24.380 Simply Safe is the way to go.

00:03:25.560 $14.99 a month with no long-term contract. That's just for the monitoring.

00:03:30.240 You own the system. Super deals on it. You're going to save so much money. Just go to the

00:03:35.160 website and find out how much money you are going to save in the first year. It's incredible

00:03:43.000 how much money we have wasted on security because we're locked into a stupid contract and we just

00:03:50.380 didn't know. Simply Safe. Changing the industry. Changing the safety at your house. It's

00:04:07.600 I want to get to the school in Florida, but I want to start with something that I read

00:04:27.400 that is just so sickening. And we have audio to show you what's happening in the school

00:04:36.620 in West Virginia. Now, Amber Pack is a mom. Eight-year-old special needs girl. And her

00:04:46.900 girl just kept saying, I don't want to go to school, mom. I don't want to go to school.

00:04:50.760 I don't want to go to school. And so Amber thought there's something going on. Somebody's

00:04:55.780 doing something to my daughter because she's never been like this. So she didn't know if

00:05:01.620 it was a classmate picking on her or the teacher or whatever. So she actually put a recording

00:05:09.080 device in her daughter's hair and then recorded absolutely everything that happened to her

00:05:19.240 and tried to figure out what was going on. Well, it wasn't too hard to see why her daughter

00:05:28.620 did not want to go to school. Let me just start by playing some of the audio. This is what

00:05:38.380 she got. And these are teachers at this special needs class. These are teachers. Cut one, please.

00:05:49.900 I've got to backhand you right in your teeth.

00:05:51.620 Okay. So the first thing she says, um, she has anxiety. Well, how about if I just hit you in the

00:06:06.140 face? How about if I punch in the face? How will that be for your anxiety? Okay. And you hear the

00:06:12.140 girl whine. Then cut two. Well, you got to go pee pee? Pee pee? Or do you not have to go pee pee and you

00:06:23.220 just want to go? Do you want to just go into the restroom and masturbate? But she didn't say it

00:06:31.560 that way. Um, cut three. I'm going to pull your hair until you stop crying. Don't throw it. Don't throw.

00:06:41.320 Animal you. Yep. You animal you. You wench. You wench. You're like a pygmy. Oh my God. Okay. Um, this is

00:06:51.800 not, by the way, this is not the same teacher. Uh, cut four. How your tears dry up so quickly, crocodile.

00:06:58.780 Crocodile. And then she wants to destroy everything in sight. I'm going to knock you

00:07:03.160 out. I'm going to knock you out. How that, how quickly your tears dry, you crocodile. Uh, cut

00:07:10.100 five. I'm going to beat your butt. For sure. You know, and you're going to get one just, just

00:07:19.100 because. Now listen to how severely handicapped the child is, obviously. Listen to the reactions

00:07:25.880 of this child. Uh, now it's lunchtime. Cut six. Growl at me. I dare you. And you won't get one.

00:07:35.480 Go ahead. There's nothing says I have to give you a snack. Nothing. Looks like you get nothing,

00:07:43.540 going. Do you understand what that was? It was lunchtime or snack time. You keep, you keep

00:07:54.140 whining at me like that. You're not going to get any, there's nothing that says I have

00:07:57.500 to give you food. Hmm. What the hell? I mean, geez. So the teachers involved have been suspended,

00:08:08.260 suspended, suspended, suspended. What more do you need?

00:08:18.140 Sincerely, what more do you need? If these teachers can't be fired immediately for something

00:08:26.780 like that, what else do you need? Seeing that they resigned. However, uh, it seems they tendered

00:08:36.020 their resignation soon after the story came out, which would make a little bit of sense

00:08:41.060 and something that should be accepted, I suppose. But, uh, I wonder if that resignation, uh, still

00:08:47.540 allows them to get any kind of, uh, you know, uh, pay obviously shouldn't be accepted if that's

00:08:56.040 the case. I, what, what the hell are you doing in this, in this business? What are you doing

00:09:00.680 with your life if that is the way you're going to treat people? To, to, to live, uh, your life

00:09:05.660 and have your, the way you're making your money be with special needs kids? You have to be a pretty

00:09:10.980 special person. Uh, you know, you have to be someone who's patient and, and understanding

00:09:15.920 and trying to do something. I mean, that is a, that's a, that's not even a job, right? That is

00:09:20.960 a life choice. It's a calling. And if you don't have that calling, what are you doing

00:09:24.700 working in that world? That's, I mean, that is inhuman to treat someone like that. Anybody

00:09:30.320 let alone a special needs kid. What's interesting is all of those cuts, all of those, that's

00:09:38.180 the same day. That's not, that wasn't an ongoing investigation. That's what, when, when the

00:09:45.320 child got home, mom took the recorder and replayed it all. And all of that happened on

00:09:52.620 that one day. Imagine why that child of special needs did not want to go to school. When the

00:10:09.720 government runs everything, who do you run to? If this were a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a

00:10:22.620 private school, people would be clamoring and it would end immediately, immediately. There

00:10:39.820 would be, there would be things in place because the corporation that ran it, if it wasn't in

00:10:46.980 bed with the government or press, would have to stop it. They would stop it before it started.

00:10:57.080 I'm sorry, but these teachers resigned. What I loved was the school administrators that were

00:11:03.860 horrified by this. Excuse me, hang on. It's not just one teacher. How is this going on in your school

00:11:14.980 and you don't know it? If it's one teacher, you're like, okay, but it wasn't just one. So how

00:11:24.200 is this happening without you knowing it? How have you created an atmosphere where this kind

00:11:31.560 of thing could go on? We have lost touch with humanity and common sense?

00:11:47.120 Look at, look at the heat that the school in Florida is getting. The school in Florida that

00:12:00.200 actually is doing the right thing. I mean, what is, what is the right thing? What is the right

00:12:07.460 thing? Protect your children, right? Do you not, would you not do everything you had to do to protect

00:12:15.960 your children? Of course you would. Of course you would. If there were people outside of your house

00:12:24.220 and you knew they wanted to come in and kill you and your family. I don't care how you feel about

00:12:31.360 guns. When all was said and done, you would get a gun or you would do something to protect your

00:12:38.700 family from somebody coming into that house. You would do it. Because in the end, it's either them

00:12:47.260 or your kids. And what do we argue about? We argue about whether we should have a mall cop.

00:12:55.300 We argue, we argue about, well, we don't want somebody with an automatic weapon around my kids.

00:13:01.700 I do. If my kids are in danger, I do. If that will stop somebody from coming in and shooting up a

00:13:09.740 classroom, yeah, you park a tank out front. I don't give a crap. I don't care. Keep the bad guys away.

00:13:19.460 So here's a school that's making sense and saying, you know what? We have all these veterans that have

00:13:25.160 come home. They have made a difference and now they feel like they don't make a difference.

00:13:31.700 Put them at our school. We are so, we are so short sighted that we don't even, we don't even

00:13:39.740 recognize the threat of Beslan. That was a horrible, horrible game changing situation that happened in

00:13:50.160 Russia about 15 years ago. When this thing happened, terrorists took over a school on the

00:13:58.860 first day of school and they slaughtered children and parents, just slaughtered them, held on to the

00:14:05.880 school. The story is horrific. Military had to come in. I don't know. I'd rather just have a couple of

00:14:18.580 vets just to say, hey, we've hardened our school and yeah, they've got an automatic weapon. And if

00:14:25.340 you come on school and you are going to do something, we're going to kill you because it's

00:14:32.060 better that we kill you than you kill anybody else. You see what happened in Portland a couple of

00:14:36.800 weeks ago? Press didn't cover it. School shooting. Guy comes in. The police happened to be there.

00:14:45.580 They happened to notice this guy and he just seemed off. And so he, they start questioning him and he

00:14:54.640 gets a little aggressive. He's in the school. They push him outside of the school. They push him

00:15:00.540 through the doors. They start to tackle him. He grabs his gun. He shoots at the deputies. He shoots,

00:15:06.720 I think, five or six times. Nobody is, nobody is killed. Thank God. But he's discharging his weapon.

00:15:15.900 Well, that's not really a story. That wasn't a school shooting. Why? He was in with a gun

00:15:21.060 shooting. He wanted to shoot children. The cops stopped him. Why isn't that a story?

00:15:28.520 I'll tell you why it's not a story. Because he was wearing a t-shirt.

00:15:36.580 What did his t-shirt say? We'll talk about it here in 60 seconds.

00:15:46.420 All right. Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. Real estate agents I trust.

00:15:51.660 You can trust them for a simple reason. They are people just like you that want a square deal.

00:15:57.100 They're fans of the show. They live by the same kind of principles that you do.

00:16:00.900 And they're the best in your area. They know how to price your home to make sure that it moves on time

00:16:07.380 and for the most amount of money. That's the hardest thing. And it's not an algorithm. You have to know

00:16:13.860 the area. You have to know, you know, this particular lot of land in this section of town.

00:16:21.000 I know this area. You know, maybe there's construction going on nearby. You might know

00:16:26.360 that there's a new road about to be built. People who really know the area. You can't do it by

00:16:31.360 algorithm because then you just choose a profile of a person. You have to know the actual individuals.

00:16:35.960 So the people that we have selected are all fans of the show and they are the best in your area.

00:16:42.460 And we hook you up. I mean, I think within the first few minutes when you get on,

00:16:46.300 I don't think it's more than an hour that you will hear back from somebody. I mean,

00:16:51.040 unless it's in the middle of the night, I suppose. You'll hear back from our team right away and say,

00:16:55.880 this is the agent in your area. Don't play games with the agents. They're not all the same.

00:17:01.840 Get the best one. Sell your home on time and for the most amount of money with realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:17:07.100 That's realestateagentsitrust.com to buy or sell your home. Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:17:15.000 10 seconds. Station ID.

00:17:37.100 Glenn Beck Program. So what did the t-shirt say of the guy who goes in in Oregon and starts

00:17:44.560 shooting at the cops? And he's only shooting at the cops because the cops wouldn't let him get

00:17:49.520 close enough to shoot the children. He's wearing a smash the patriarchy t-shirt.

00:17:57.840 Now, I wonder if that played a role at all in any of the non-coverage of this story.

00:18:09.200 Our priorities are so upside down right now. And it's really, you know, I shouldn't say it that way.

00:18:16.860 People don't think that this could be lost. I really, I really don't, I don't think the average

00:18:27.060 person has any clue how close to the edge we really are. We, we just seem to think, well,

00:18:35.980 it'll, it'll, it'll work itself out. Now, not everybody is like that, but I think the average

00:18:41.060 American is like that. They just think that this is just going to go on. You can just

00:18:45.260 tinker with it, whatever you want. I don't have to pay attention to that. I don't have to stand up

00:18:50.360 for this. You know, I've never been, I'm against abortion, but I've never stood up because I don't

00:18:55.760 want to get involved. Gang, we're at the cliff. We're at the cliff. You have to take a stand.

00:19:03.960 Not to stand is to stand. Not to speak is to speak. And for anybody who thinks that it's going to get

00:19:12.060 easier from here, it's not, it's not, it's going to get a lot harder from here. Last night on the TV

00:19:19.920 show, um, I explained to the audience how this all ends. I can tell you right now how this all ends

00:19:31.060 in the next five years, should we choose? Look at the turmoil we have right now inside of our

00:19:39.300 country. Look at, look at the green new deal. Now, what the hell is the green new deal?

00:19:47.460 What is that? Really? You have all the Democrats signing on now. Mitch McConnell will see how real it

00:19:54.540 is, but they're all signing on all the Democrats. They have what? 70 some co-sponsors for this,

00:20:02.480 70. Yeah. You have most of the democratic presidential candidates signing on. And what

00:20:09.000 is it in reality? It is the abolishment of the car industry. It is the abolishment of the combustion

00:20:17.500 engine car within 10 years. It is the grounding of airplanes within 10 years, the abolishment of air

00:20:25.480 travel. It is building of a high speed rail, which by the way, Gavin Newsom just pulled out of the high

00:20:34.980 speed rail in California said it's a boondoggle. They always are. So you want to build a high speed rail.

00:20:43.300 You want to get rid of cars. You want to get rid of airplanes. Plus, you're going to ban all oil,

00:20:52.980 natural gas, and nuclear energy in 10 years. So by 2029, you're going to do all that. Now,

00:21:05.060 remember that Bain Capital said, just because of new technology, we are going to have a 30%

00:21:12.480 unemployment rate by 2030. Okay. Now that may change. And it may change because we always are

00:21:21.700 pessimistic. You know, what happens when we start building cars? What's going to happen to all the

00:21:26.860 blacksmiths? Well, the blacksmiths are going to go away and there's going to be some pain,

00:21:30.480 but we're going to have mechanics. So there'll be new jobs created. Now, people that understand

00:21:37.240 technology, and I tend to agree with them, say that those jobs are not, there's no new job that's

00:21:44.840 going to be recreated because you're going to have robots that are going to be able to do it.

00:21:49.040 And I know that sounds like sci-fi, but we are now living in that time where science fiction is

00:21:55.180 becoming science fact. Now, how it all shakes out, it's going to be up to us.

00:21:59.460 So we have all this displacement coming just from technology. Then on top of it, you want to

00:22:08.740 you, you want to get rid of planes. You want to get rid of cars. You want to get rid of the

00:22:15.080 combustion engine. You want to get rid of oil, natural gas, and nuclear energy at the same time.

00:22:23.480 What does that look like in the end economically? What is the next 10 years look like economically?

00:22:32.220 And do you think the world sits around and does nothing when it's in that much pain? Or do you

00:22:38.500 think there might be a global war? Let me just give you a quick 10 seconds on how this ends when we

00:22:45.280 come back. You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:22:53.480 There is nothing better than relief factor. There is nothing better than relief factor.

00:22:59.160 If you want to get rid of your pain, your pain is caused mainly by inflammation. The body inflames

00:23:06.480 and it causes all kinds of problems. I mean, if you look at anything, you know, science, medical

00:23:14.660 science is showing us now inflammation, uh, you know, is, is, uh, a breeding ground for everything

00:23:22.660 that is bad, you know, cancer, everything. Inflammation is our biggest enemy. This is what,

00:23:28.700 uh, relief factor does. It reduces inflammation. It's a hundred percent natural. It works for me.

00:23:35.540 I take it three times a day. I have for over a year, 70% of the people who try it, find great relief

00:23:42.480 from relief factor. Get out of pain. 800-583-84 relieffactor.com. Go to blaze tv.com slash Beck

00:25:07.780 Good morning this afternoon and this evening. Good night. Good morning. How are you? Welcome to

00:25:12.900 the program, Pat Gray. It's a beautiful board. I got it. I have to apologize to Seattle. By the way,

00:25:19.000 I was talking about their six inches of snow. Boo hoo. Um, and how, you know, I'm from Seattle. So

00:25:25.000 back off. I can say these things. Um, but, uh, you know, they freak out. They have no snow plows.

00:25:31.460 They have nothing. They have nothing. They can't salt or sand. They have to bring it all from the

00:25:36.220 mountains. And if the mountain passes are really bad, they got to clear the mountain passes. Uh,

00:25:42.220 and so I talked about this yesterday. Six inches of snow is a lot. Well, uh, I didn't hear the update

00:25:49.440 until I got a lot of my family going. Oh, really? Really? I haven't left my house in nine days.

00:25:56.220 Wow. They got 20 inches of snow. Sea tack. 20 inches of snow in Seattle. Sea tack. Wow. That's like,

00:26:06.060 that's a lot. That is, that is the, a lot, a snow apocalypse for Seattle. Yeah. Now they're

00:26:13.180 getting rain. Now, I guess now they're going to be worried about flooding, but that's the most snow

00:26:17.820 since 1946. Global warming. This globe is warming so fast. Just before we get into, uh, before we get

00:26:26.460 into Pat, uh, I, I want to just tell you, um, one thing, and I want you to chew on this. I want you to,

00:26:33.680 I want you to debate this. If you sounds crazy, I want you to call me. I want you to debate yourself.

00:26:41.220 I want you to, to prove me wrong, please. I believe we are one election away from losing the

00:26:48.760 constitution of the United States of America. The fundamental transformation that Barack Obama

00:26:54.720 was looking for is this presidential election away. Now I want you to hear me carefully. This is

00:27:03.300 not, you got to vote for Trump or you can't vote for them. I'm not talking politically here.

00:27:11.440 I want you to understand the layout of the ground. What does the ground look like right now? We are at

00:27:19.340 an unemployment rate that almost never happens. It was 3.7%, which means 3.7% has always been what,

00:27:29.240 what, you know, statisticians always say is full employment. Just about everybody who wants a job

00:27:36.460 has a job. Now it may not be the job they want, but it's historic low unemployment. For the first time,

00:27:44.700 I think since like 1972, in this last year, people have had an actual raise. Now you might've had raises

00:27:52.180 in the past, but it is not kept up with the, with price inflation. Okay. So you have an actual raise.

00:28:00.400 The average person for the first time has felt an actual increase in their salary. Okay. We have a

00:28:08.600 stock market that is riddled with inflation gone up 400% since 2008. Now you may say that doesn't help

00:28:18.500 you, but it does. If you have money in your 401k, it does. If you're, if you have retirement funds.

00:28:24.440 So we are, yes, we have our problems, but we are the best we've been in this situation. And by the way,

00:28:33.600 we're, we're now our, our, our debt is up to $22 trillion. So money is just flowing from the

00:28:43.040 government. Okay. Doesn't get better than this. Why would you introduce a new deal at a time like

00:28:51.300 this? A new deal was when we have nothing to fear, but fear itself. When unemployment was at 30%,

00:28:59.900 think of that 30% unemployment, bread lines all over the country, the dust bowl, people getting up and

00:29:09.140 just moving because they've got nothing left. There's no work. There's no way to feed your

00:29:15.420 family. This is when we were actually responsible for growing our own food and everything else.

00:29:21.500 There was nothing. That's how bad it was when we said we need a new deal. Now what this new deal,

00:29:29.720 this green new deal is, is guaranteed housing, guaranteed jobs, guaranteed income, guaranteed

00:29:41.760 food. That's not the United States of America. That is against everything in our constitution that

00:29:49.820 flips us from a, a, a individual based country that has the rights of the individual tells the

00:29:59.560 government. No, you stay away. You stay away where the, where the individual is empowered. This flips

00:30:06.860 it entirely up, up, up ends it and turns us into the former Soviet union or any other true socialist

00:30:15.680 state. And that is not Sweden. That is still a capitalist society. It's like Venezuela. It's like

00:30:23.240 Venezuela where they redistribute the land and the income and they dictate what is fair and what

00:30:29.360 is not. Here's how this ends. If we don't pay attention and we don't start coming together and

00:30:36.620 we don't start talking to our reasonable democratic friends, I'm not talking about the politicians.

00:30:42.120 I'm talking about the people that you know that are, if you had a real conversation with them and you

00:30:48.640 got past Trump and the politics in Washington, you'd have a real conversation with them and they'd go

00:30:55.240 this stuff with abortion, killing the baby after it's born, even considering that killing the baby

00:31:01.540 for, so the mom carries a dead child because it takes three days to get that dead child out of her.

00:31:10.180 If she wants to abort at birth, that's, that's insane. You know, the government saying that,

00:31:18.180 that you're going to get rid of your cars. You're going to get rid of airplanes. You're going to have a

00:31:22.880 guaranteed job and guaranteed houses. Everybody's going to do this. That if we can't make that case

00:31:31.060 to our friends, when things are this good, here's how it ends. In the next 18 months, we have a severe

00:31:40.300 disruption because of an outbreak of war terror, or just because European banking just goes to hell in

00:31:48.320 a handbasket and we're all connected to each other and it hits us hard and we go into a deep recession.

00:31:55.780 God forbid a depression. The only thing that is holding this president together is the economic

00:32:02.020 story. He is so disliked by so many people that, that they are holding onto him because they're not

00:32:09.840 in pain. The minute this thing falls apart in an election year, forget about what they stand for.

00:32:22.160 People in America will say, okay, I don't want any more of that. I want somebody over here. And these guys

00:32:27.320 are compassionate and they're going to help. And you know what, this system, I'm not sure this system

00:32:32.200 even works anymore. The only reason why they're putting a green new deal up and all of them, all of

00:32:39.480 them, the presidential candidates, all of them are signing on to this is because this is the end of

00:32:47.460 the American experiment, this election. And it can happen that fast and will.

00:32:57.340 It's a really good point. Punch holes in that. It's a really good point. Can you punch holes in that?

00:33:02.200 No, that's, that's a really good point. I think you should probably consider doing this as a,

00:33:07.220 like a full-time thing. Thank you. Thank you. Seriously. It sounds crazy. Seriously. It was

00:33:12.420 because your point of, if we're this close now, now when it's good, what's going to happen when it

00:33:22.380 gets bad? That's, I, you know, that's chilling. And it's also, it's a result of the by dairy choice

00:33:30.620 sort of situation that we have in that if things get bad and people don't like Trump,

00:33:35.260 they'll pick the other person without thinking about how bad they are. Right. And if that other

00:33:39.440 person happens to be the equivalent of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, we're going to have some serious

00:33:44.400 problems here. And it could be because that's the only alternative. Right. Pretty much. We talked

00:33:47.940 about the green new deal. From the Democrats. Yeah. The green new deal. Uh, we talked about last

00:33:50.880 break and you, you mentioned, I don't know if there's been any candidates. There are no candidates in

00:33:55.120 the field that I know of currently that are opposing it with the exception of John Delaney,

00:33:59.580 who is a guy who has basically no chance to win. And also is saying, I don't want this. I'd rather

00:34:04.660 have this other giant green plan that I've, I've decided. Clark, uh, Klobuchar came out yesterday

00:34:09.880 and said, I'm not like the rest. I'm not a socialist yet on Sunday. She signed on to the green new

00:34:17.000 deal. Yeah. She said she would sign on to it. Now she didn't mention in her, in her announcement

00:34:21.860 speech, but maybe she's trying to back away from it, but she did indicate support for the green

00:34:26.760 new deal. Uh, Julian Castro has not taken a position, so he may have, he may have an opportunity

00:34:31.900 to back out of this before it gets too ugly. Do you guys know about Chile and Pinochet?

00:34:36.200 Have you, have you ever done any, some. Okay. Yeah. So, um, I started doing some, uh, research

00:34:43.520 because of Venezuela on Pinochet, um, in, in Chile. And he was a horrible, horrible dictator.

00:34:50.220 Okay. But he was this weird dictator that believed, I mean, his, his economic theories were Milton

00:34:57.820 Friedman. Okay. So, uh, for while Pinochet was in, was in control again, horrible, tortured

00:35:06.780 people, horrible, horrible guy. So I'm only talking about the economic policies here. Um, but he

00:35:13.700 took Milton Friedman stuff while he was in charge. Chile was the most, had 6% growth every year.

00:35:24.260 Now in 1980, there was a disruption. I can't remember why there was a disruption in the

00:35:29.340 economy. Um, and so he, uh, immediately went to work projects and he put people to work with

00:35:38.040 the government, which is a socialist plan. But as soon as that was over, he shut them back off

00:35:43.060 and he went back to Milton Friedman and they had another explosion of growth. Okay. So you, at times

00:35:50.540 you could, if people believed in it, you could say, okay, there's 30% unemployment. We have to do

00:35:56.920 something. So we work together and we pull each other up. Okay. But we never go back in America.

00:36:03.900 You never go back. And these guys right now are saying the capitalist system doesn't work.

00:36:12.120 This system doesn't work. Every single bit of evidence shows this system does work when it's

00:36:19.660 not greedy and in bed with the government. We have this horrible, greedy, capitalist, uh, and,

00:36:29.680 and, and socialist hybrid here where the government is protecting and picking winners and losers.

00:36:35.600 That doesn't work. But they're saying that now, imagine what happens when people feel real

00:36:44.520 discomfort, pray for our country, pray for economic stability and start working together,

00:36:51.560 coming together.

00:36:52.900 You talk about, talked about Barack Obama's idea of the fundamental transformation.

00:36:57.080 If you're going to look at that as a, in a foundational sort of sense, probably the

00:37:01.100 clearest he ever was on that was his, uh, his, uh, despondence over the idea of a charter

00:37:08.040 of negative liberties versus a charter, charter of positive liberties. What can the government

00:37:12.280 do, uh, to you as opposed to what can the government must do on your behalf as the way

00:37:18.080 he sort of phrased it. And that is, that is absolutely 100% the green new deal. It's the

00:37:26.240 transformation from, from the charter of negative liberties to the charter of positive liberties.

00:37:30.640 It's something that they've chased forever. They tried to do it partially with the, the

00:37:35.040 new new deal, which never was adopted. And people keep overlooking the idea that the green

00:37:40.760 new deal is on top of the new new deal. It's an expansion of what the new new deal was.

00:37:46.200 So you have to do deals. It was known as the second bill of rights that nobody really even

00:37:50.380 remembers. It was an abomination. It would have reversed the course of our bill of rights.

00:37:56.620 Um, and instead it was a bill of responsibilities. The government had to do these things for you

00:38:02.940 instead of the bill of rights. Hey, you don't have a right to do any of this back up. And it changes

00:38:09.420 us from an individual to a collective society. And that is in the cards. As soon as the next two years,

00:38:19.340 if things get bad, I still can't believe how the media is handling this as well,

00:38:24.220 where they posted this thing. This isn't us making mocking the green new deal, right? This isn't us.

00:38:30.340 This is, they posted this on their actual site. They said this was the background document for it.

00:38:35.640 They sent it to NPR as a background document. And now the media is allowing them to get away with,

00:38:40.580 well, it was just a draft. Well, first of all, it was just a draft. Where's the new one?

00:38:45.280 Where's the final product then? Why, if you just put, if you put a, the wrong draft online,

00:38:51.660 where's the new draft? Where's the new final one? Why aren't we seeing that?

00:38:55.620 You're like, crap, I put the wrong one up. Hang on just a second. Take that one off.

00:38:59.440 Yep. Here's, I'm sending you the responsible one. Here's the one I really meant to send out.

00:39:03.860 You do that immediately. That happens to people, right? Yeah. Uh, this is, this is clearly what the

00:39:08.200 real idea was. And now she's, you know, uh, Casio Cortez is like, oh, well, I'm not going to ban

00:39:12.480 airplanes. I want to go visit my family in Puerto Rico. I would of course not do that.

00:39:16.280 I'm not going to ban ice cream. I like ice cream. And it's like, well, why did you put those things

00:39:21.600 in there? Again, this is your chief of staff. This is exactly how the healthcare thing started.

00:39:25.300 Yep. Exactly. No, we only want Obamacare. Well, we're only going part way. The single payer.

00:39:30.500 That's silly. No. And now they've all embraced it because they did the groundwork. They got us used

00:39:35.740 to Obamacare. And now comes the real thing. Same with the green deal. Although they over-tinned windowed us

00:39:40.520 first, and then maybe they'll back off that, uh, extremism a little bit, but this is their goal.

00:39:46.260 Obviously this is their goal. It's what they, it's exactly what they want to do. Not to stand is to

00:39:51.360 stand. Not to speak is to speak. You must be involved every step of the way. Pat, sorry,

00:39:57.980 we didn't get to what you wanted to talk about. My tongue is exhausted. I just, I know.

00:40:01.740 I'm sorry. Thank you. All right. I want to talk to you a little bit about field of greens. Uh,

00:40:06.520 Brickhouse nutrition, uh, has a product called field of greens. Uh, I, I, I, I want to talk to

00:40:13.640 you about salads and how much I hate salads. Uh, but I'm not going to, cause I, I, I don't ever

00:40:18.920 stop when I start talking about how much I hate salads and, and kale. You only have a couple hours

00:40:23.460 left in the show today. Well, that gives me time to just to introduce how much I have hatred for kale.

00:40:29.520 My wife made a green smoothie for me this morning with kale. At least it wasn't Overton window.

00:40:34.620 At least it wasn't celery juice. Anyway, field of greens. It is real USDA organic fruits and

00:40:42.540 vegetables complete with the antioxidants. It boosts the immunity. It has the antioxidant power. It's

00:40:48.260 prebiotic, probiotic, all biotic. This is real food and you just take a scoop of it and you get

00:40:56.160 everything you need for the day without going to the salad bar. Brickhouse glenn.com get 15% off your

00:41:10.940 In our conversation about the future and why a green new deal is appealing to many, it's the

00:41:34.560 millennials. They don't want the, you know, soul sucking office jobs of the past. They know that

00:41:41.100 things are changing profoundly. We're missing this. They don't feel satisfied. They know that

00:41:48.720 change is needed. They're looking for someone with a big idea. And so far, no one on the right

00:41:54.620 has a big idea other than let's just go back to the past, which they don't understand.

00:42:04.560 I want to talk to you a little bit about home title lock. Stu, what is that? What is that story

00:42:17.900 that you read from the New York times yesterday? It's actually Fox news. The Fox news around the

00:42:23.320 U S deed theft has emerged as one of the most sophisticated and devastating frauds ever to

00:42:28.160 menace homeowners. Think of that. Think of that to ever menace homeowners. Why? Uh, yeah. I mean,

00:42:34.760 now they're saying, uh, scammers are no longer content with stealing $5,000. Now they want the

00:42:39.080 whole house that comes from the New York attorney general's office. Okay. So this is really bad.

00:42:43.440 And the people that have been on this, but we heard about this from these people home title lock.

00:42:48.600 And we actually heard about it in an ad and Stu brought it in and he was like, look at this.

00:42:52.920 Pat jumped on the bandwagon. We talked to the people I'm in. Stu's in. This is really a problem

00:43:00.020 and you need to protect yourself. I want you to go to home title lock.com home title lock.com.

00:43:06.000 Read all about it. Do your homework and get a free title scan and report. It's a hundred dollars

00:43:14.680 make sure they're doing it. Home title, lock.com home title, lock.com.

00:43:36.400 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:43:44.680 The green new deal. Everybody is looking at Gavin Newsom as a hero today for the right.

00:43:52.780 Everybody's like, look at this. Here they come out with a green new deal. And what do they want to do?

00:43:58.060 They want high speed rail, but Gavin Newsom, the government, the governor of California,

00:44:04.020 who's as left as can be has just canceled the high speed rail saying it was too expensive and took too long.

00:44:12.080 He's given the money back. Uh-huh. Is that what's happening? I'll explain in one minute.

00:44:24.100 This is the Glenn Beck program. Long does it take? How long does it take to get DNA test results back?

00:44:30.760 I can't believe that I am. I'm, I'm like impatient. I'm so excited to get the DNA results back from 23 and

00:44:37.560 me. And I'm like, come on, come on. It takes a couple of weeks. Oh, geez. Can I have it now?

00:44:44.060 You remember when DNA tests were like a thing of the future that would never happen? Remember when

00:44:49.840 they were starting to chart the, the genome, the human genome, and they were like, we may never

00:44:55.180 fully have it charted. And then all of a sudden it just started building on itself.

00:44:58.960 Oh, do you remember the, you know, a large reason why OJ Simpson went free is because DNA was so

00:45:05.180 foreign to the average American that they didn't believe the evidence. Yeah. It's crazy. I mean,

00:45:09.480 now look how far we've come. It's crazy. Now it's, it's just available to everybody. Do you also know

00:45:14.580 that fingerprints are not necessarily all, uh, different? Did you know that? I did not know

00:45:22.120 that. Yeah. I read something about this the other day and I was like, I I've got to look that up.

00:45:26.320 Look this up. It's never the fingerprint analysis, uh, is not a lock. Not a hundred percent type of

00:45:35.720 thing. Yeah. And I had no idea. I had no idea. I mean, think about the advancement there. I mean,

00:45:40.780 just what you learn from DNA as opposed to fingerprints. And then it was like, I think I

00:45:45.720 saw someone before that. We've come a long way. And there was something, you know, Gabe, my, uh,

00:45:50.880 my nephew, he wrote to me and he said, uh, uh, Glenn, can, can you send me stuff that you've done

00:45:56.820 on genealogy? I just don't think it's right that the, the, the people that came before me have

00:46:03.020 struggled so hard to get to where we are. And I don't even really know anything about them. He said,

00:46:09.020 it's one generation and everything else is lost. I thought that was tremendous coming from a

00:46:15.280 millennial. I just thought that was great. Yeah. Uh, look, get your DNA kit at 23 and me.com

00:46:21.120 slash back. I know I I'm freaked out about it too, uh, about having your DNA. They destroy it.

00:46:28.200 They can keep it for you, but they will destroy it. And they fought several court cases and they've

00:46:33.640 won all of them. When the government comes in and says, Hey, we need to have the DNA. Um,

00:46:38.120 they don't turn it over. And it, I talked to them extensively about it. It's, it's, it's like a

00:46:44.100 nuclear missile silo. There are two keys that have to be turned. Uh, and so it's very, very safe DNA

00:46:50.880 kit. Get it now. 23 and me find out the things that will change your health and also your ancestry

00:46:57.120 as well. 23 and me, uh, dot com slash back 23 and me.com slash back. All right.

00:47:17.380 So Stu, the, one of the things that you have been on, you, I mean, you've done so much with a

00:47:21.380 wonderful world of Stu, um, where you kind of took on, uh, all of these topics. Um, you know,

00:47:28.280 my son, uh, he was just started watching, uh, Adam, what is it? Adam destroys, ruins, ruins,

00:47:34.680 everything. Yeah. Um, and I was proud of my son. He came to me and all of a sudden he starts

00:47:40.040 quoting all this stuff. Dad, did you know? And I'm like, what? In fact, that may be where I got

00:47:45.980 the fingerprint thing and thought I've got to look into that. Um, but, uh, he starts quoting all

00:47:51.880 this stuff. Did you know, dad? I'm like, no, where, what are you reading? The encyclopedia?

00:47:56.640 What is going on? And he said, I I've been watching this show and he, and I said, uh-huh. And he said,

00:48:03.200 and it's all footnoted, which I was happy to hear him say. And I said, have you followed any of those

00:48:09.180 footnotes or links? No. Well, just because it says it was footnoted doesn't mean that it's accurate.

00:48:15.600 Right. That's why they footnote it. That's right. Follow up on it. Right. And you're,

00:48:19.160 and you're also, they footnote it also because it's like, nope, that's fact. Nope. Washington

00:48:23.300 Post said it's fact. Right. And that's what they do in political ads even. Correct. He is,

00:48:27.720 he's an absolute communist. And then you look at the link and it just says, it's like an ad

00:48:32.160 in the, uh, Saint, you know, Saint Walker Tribune. Yeah. What is that? So, um, uh, he said,

00:48:38.500 I've been saving a couple of them because I want to watch them with you because I want to know

00:48:43.520 what you think. That's what a lot of people, when, when I was doing Wonderful World of Stew would,

00:48:48.040 would compare that show to the Adam ruins everything, except he has had a very large

00:48:52.980 budget. Uh, he has actors acting out every city. I mean, it's, it's pretty, and he's also liberal.

00:48:57.860 I mean, generally speaking, although sometimes I do find him to be right on. So I had to tell,

00:49:03.540 I had to tell my son, we watched the one on about the border and I said, okay. Um, he said,

00:49:08.060 so is that right? Is that accurate? We stopped all the way along and I said, let's watch the whole

00:49:14.600 thing and then we'll go back. And so I said to him, I have to tell you, I would say 90% of it,

00:49:22.260 maybe 98% of it is, is accurate. However, it's only half the story. So it's inaccuracy is,

00:49:32.620 is in what it leaves out. So I can't dispute the facts that he's saying, although some of them I

00:49:39.100 can, but I can dispute easily. Well, yes, but he's only giving half the story here. Okay. Um,

00:49:47.540 and so I've been trying to get him to watch Wonderful World of Stew. Uh, just wish I knew

00:49:51.780 there was a place where they all lived, where you could just get online and watch them.

00:49:56.240 At least you can get all, every episode, uh, blaze tv.com slash back promo code back and watch all the

00:50:02.020 back episodes. So one of that's convenient. Um, I should write that down. Uh, so, uh, uh, one of

00:50:08.620 the episodes you take on these high speed rails. Yeah. A couple of them actually, uh, one in

00:50:13.620 particular, we did an interview with a guy, Eric Christian is his name. He was, he, uh, was kind

00:50:18.860 of leading the fight against this train and system in California that they were trying to do. And he

00:50:24.560 actually got thrown out of like public hearings because he would ask questions about the cost

00:50:28.380 and how feasible these things were, uh, and how the exploding cost really had, uh, well, I mean,

00:50:36.120 it was mesmerizing how fast it, this is the case with every one of these things we did. Um, you know,

00:50:41.440 another light rail is another big one of my big pet peeves in the world because there are light rail

00:50:47.420 systems all over the country and everyone likes to defend their own light rail system. Everyone says,

00:50:52.480 well, mine is pretty good, but I think overall they're all terrible. The best case scenario for a

00:50:58.020 light rail system is that no one ever steps foot on it because every time it moves, it costs you

00:51:02.300 money and it costs money to the, the a hundred percent of taxpayers. When 5% of people actually

00:51:09.500 ride on the thing, it's almost always really inefficient. It's always subsidized. It's one

00:51:15.280 of those things where they'll be like, well, it only costs a dollar from going to X to Z. No,

00:51:18.580 it doesn't. It costs you a lot more than a dollar because you're paying for it in another way.

00:51:22.660 This is something that we all understand when it comes to taxes and healthcare. But for some

00:51:26.220 reason we just had this nostalgic thing about trains in the United States. I mean,

00:51:30.880 trains were a big part of our history and they were something that was really important to the

00:51:34.260 foundation of this country. And it's, it's all, that's all true, but we have this weird nostalgia

00:51:39.200 as if this technology needs to exist anymore. There are things as far as shipping where it's valuable

00:51:44.880 because those lines are already laid. There's a reason. There's no reason to build a new set of

00:51:51.580 train tracks in the United States of America today. And every time a new light rail proposal

00:51:57.120 comes through, it is an absolute boondoggle every time. And every time it is a thing where you wind up

00:52:04.480 paying more and more and more, the budget always doubles and then triples and then quadruples.

00:52:09.880 And people want to see it through to the end because politicians make these promises.

00:52:14.060 And then at the very end of the game, you have a light rail system that does something that is in

00:52:21.100 a very limited way, in a very inefficient way. It goes too slow. It doesn't go as fast as you can

00:52:26.180 get there when there's a car in almost every single situation. And at the end of the day,

00:52:30.860 you have something that goes from one place to another. When we, as we all know, population centers

00:52:37.860 shift constantly. If you had, if you 100% knew two things would stay the exact same way for a very

00:52:44.120 long period of time and people wouldn't move and people wouldn't have different priorities,

00:52:47.240 you could maybe make an argument for it. But these things change all the time. People move from

00:52:52.600 neighborhood to neighborhood. Some neighborhood decides to be, it's no longer trendy. There's no

00:52:57.240 stop in the place where all the new restaurants are. It is not an efficient way to travel, which is why

00:53:02.960 we moved on, by the way, from trains to cars, to planes. But people don't understand that because

00:53:08.140 in the power centers, for instance, mainly in New York, the subway is so critical to people. I mean,

00:53:15.660 it changes, it changes the value of property because if you're on the east side, the train does not,

00:53:24.300 the second avenue train has, has it been completed yet? I know it was, it was, it was supposed to be

00:53:30.820 completed forever. And, and it actually affected property values because you wanted to be near a

00:53:37.920 subway stop and there wasn't one there. The problem is, is that that's New York, right? That's New

00:53:43.900 York. And when you get out of the major population centers, you're not going to take a train because

00:53:50.360 you're already driving. You would be driving from, you know, 20 miles to go get to the train and

00:53:59.080 then park and then get on the train and then wait and then go another maybe 20 miles. And then what

00:54:04.060 do you have on the other end? There's no car, there's no Uber. I mean, it's not like it is in

00:54:08.320 the major cities. Right. And the other thing too, about the subway system, even in New York,

00:54:11.820 New York, first of all, is obviously the best possible example for this because it's very,

00:54:16.020 you know, it's very congested and very contained in this small area. It's an island. There's nowhere to

00:54:20.720 expand all the things that aren't, don't apply to any of these other projects. Everyone will bring up

00:54:25.640 New York. However, if you were bringing, if you were making New York today, you would not put a

00:54:29.480 subway on it. The fact that the subway exists from a long time ago, it doesn't mean you wouldn't stop

00:54:34.820 using it, right? There's nowhere else to build roads. There's no way to do it that way. You

00:54:39.200 wouldn't build New York the way it is today if you started today. And that's the problem.

00:54:44.180 No, you would put the traffic underneath.

00:54:45.760 You probably put the traffic, you might put the traffic underneath, but you probably don't build it

00:54:49.280 all on that island the way it is. Oh, now, right. You're going to make less, you're going to make

00:54:53.320 more room for cars to go because you know cars are there. When they built New York, they were like,

00:54:57.420 you know what we need? We need more horse space, right? So yes, you use technology that you had

00:55:03.780 at the time. If something's already built, you don't just abandon it because it may, you know,

00:55:08.040 the infrastructure is such a large part of the cost. But 92% of its costs of light rail across the

00:55:14.240 country are paid by people who never use it. 92% of the costs are paid by people who don't ride the

00:55:20.900 train. That is completely insane. That is just a, a feel good project for a politician to say,

00:55:30.520 look what I'm doing for this community. And how much, how much is the American people paying

00:55:35.200 for Amtrak? Oh God. I mean, it's billions. And that really only is for the elites that are going

00:55:42.560 to Washington between Washington and New York. That's how they travel. You know, that's for the,

00:55:48.320 the government officials to move. I mean, a lot of regular people use it as well. I mean,

00:55:54.760 you do use that train if you're going from Washington, New York, but that's what that's

00:55:58.980 for. That's a Washington, New York thing. If you're not going to Washington, New York,

00:56:04.500 I mean, you're generally driving. If you're not on business, you're generally driving.

00:56:09.940 Yeah, no, of course. And that's, it makes sense, right? I mean, I think it's 4% of people in

00:56:14.500 Dallas commute by public transport, 4%. That doesn't even include the suburbs, but in Dallas,

00:56:19.780 4% of people. So they build this light rail and it goes all over the place. Every time someone steps

00:56:24.960 on the Dallas light rail system, we have to pay them $4 and 21 cents. Oh my gosh.

00:56:30.480 So the best thing in the world would be no one rides it and we just park it somewhere.

00:56:34.820 Cause every time somebody steps foot on it and it's rare, if you ever see the dark cars pass by.

00:56:40.760 It runs empty all the time. All the time. Of course that, if it's running empty, that's even

00:56:44.480 worse. Right. But it would be better if they just stopped all the cars. $4 and 21 cents every single

00:56:50.060 time. There are 96,380 passenger trips on the Dallas light rail every weekday. Most of them are

00:56:58.020 obviously round trips. So about 48,000 passengers. We could buy all of those passengers, a new Prius for

00:57:04.200 about $1.2 billion, which is the cost of just one of the four lines that make up the Dallas

00:57:10.100 rail system. So we could buy everyone who uses it. There's four lines. The whole thing is $7 billion

00:57:15.360 less than how much taxpayers have already invested in the train. And we could buy everyone who rides

00:57:20.040 it a new car. That's how bad these systems are. And Dallas is not an outlier here. All the things

00:57:25.400 when you're saying, well, my town's not like that. Yes, it is. I promise. Yes, it is. It's a

00:57:29.760 debacle. I've lived all over this country. And every city always, you know what we're

00:57:34.920 going to do? We're going to build light rail. We're going to be right. You know what we're

00:57:38.140 going to do? We're going to we're going to build a high speed rail between Tampa and Orlando

00:57:41.920 because we're going to get all those people that are in Orlando. They don't want to really

00:57:45.260 be there for Disney World. They'd rather be on the beach at St. Pete. Really? Really?

00:57:49.520 Would they? Would they? They tried to build it? Disaster. Disaster.

00:57:54.920 Disaster. Disaster. And you could make the case that people would want to go on vacation

00:58:00.600 and spend a few days in Disney and then go to the ocean or to the Gulf and be on the

00:58:06.120 beach. You could make that case that you're in Disney and you want to take a high speed

00:58:10.380 rail to go see a space shuttle launch. You could make that case. No. Disaster.

00:58:15.760 Cost benefit analysis. Disaster. Not just benefit analysis. Now, so did Gavin Newsom wake up

00:58:21.640 and suddenly recognize the free market system and go, you know what? This is a debacle.

00:58:28.640 This doesn't work. What a waste of money. Really? The guy from San Francisco? No. I'll tell

00:58:37.880 you what I think is really happening next. One minute away. All right. This is it. This

00:58:46.720 is it. Stu, have you done it? I did it yesterday. Have you done it? Oh, good.

00:58:51.740 Yes. You have? Yes. I think I'm prepared now. Really? Yes. I think I'm prepared. Now, did

00:58:57.220 you do it or did you say, I know what I'm going to do? I put a note in my calendar. Oh, good

00:59:01.660 for you. That's the preparation. Wait. No, wait. You put a note in your calendar. Right.

00:59:05.540 I have to make sure I do it. Today. Today. Right. I got to do it today. That's why I put the

00:59:09.160 note in the calendar. 1-800-Flowers. 1-800-Flowers.com. Go there today. Today. Tomorrow is Valentine's

01:00:05.740 Let me give you a scenario here. You tell me which one is more likely. Gavin Newsom, the

01:00:27.820 guy that ran San Francisco. And we all know, I mean, that's the home of

01:00:35.120 feces and drugs. So it's great. Is that their official slogan? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

01:00:43.140 So. That guy becomes governor of the most reckless spending state in the union. And

01:00:55.000 he's a green guy. And all green guys know we got to get these cars off the road. And

01:01:01.720 if we just had high speed rail from Los Angeles to San Francisco, we'd have that

01:01:06.340 connection and it would cut down time. It would cut down on traffic. This is the

01:01:11.280 most reckless spending state, the most environmentally conscious state, the one

01:01:16.400 that doesn't care about anything other than that, except for the congestion on

01:01:21.820 the highways. And he's canceling the high speed rail on the week after the green new

01:01:31.060 deal comes out where they say we need to build these trains like they are in

01:01:36.560 California. What? That is especially the timing of it is incredible. Don't celebrate.

01:01:44.060 Do not celebrate conservatives. You should stop and go. Hmm. Now that doesn't seem like a team

01:01:53.800 player move, even if it's true. The week when everybody's talking about the new green deal.

01:02:03.400 Three and a half billion dollars from government aid was loaned to the state of California. Keyword

01:02:11.920 loaned to the state of California for their high speed rail. They have to pay that back. It's up by

01:02:19.340 the way, more than twice than what Trump was or more than twice than twice of what Trump got for the

01:02:24.580 border wall and this last deal. So and that's not enough to even build the rail. Okay, they had to

01:02:29.180 come on. No, not even close. Tens of billions of dollars. Yeah, so they got three and a half billion

01:02:33.860 dollars from the federal government, but they have to pay that money back.

01:02:38.240 Now, if I'm Gavin Newsom and I'm looking at the landscape and I'm trying to do the things that

01:02:48.560 are right and I know that all my constituents, while they are all green and they hate the traffic,

01:02:57.260 they also know that we are spending money hand over fist and they're having to pay for it.

01:03:03.360 So I say to myself, hmm, where could I find three and a half billion dollars?

01:03:13.640 I know I could cancel the train and send that money back in hopes that in 2020, we will have a

01:03:26.920 new green new dealer in the Oval Office and it will become a federal project and I won't have to pay

01:03:38.380 for any of it. So let me look fiscally responsible. Let me say, oh, I believe in the green new deal,

01:03:50.860 but the K-State of California, this is just not efficient for us at this time. Send that money back.

01:04:01.960 Stop having the taxpayers foot more bills for that, knowing that the next president,

01:04:08.960 should the Democrats win, will say, Gavin, you know, and I know you've got congestion and you're

01:04:16.320 leading the way on environmental issues. You gotta have it. And you already got most of it.

01:04:21.620 You know, all the paperwork's done, everything. You're already moving in that direction.

01:04:25.860 We're just going to send you the money because this is an important project for the United States

01:04:29.980 of America. That is what's happening. I mean, that makes sense. It makes him look

01:04:35.940 somewhat good to the state and saying he's being fiscally responsible, but knowingly he's going to be

01:04:41.380 getting it probably in a few years anyway. He's playing that game. I'll bet you he's playing

01:04:48.580 that game. I'll bet you if Donald Trump loses, God help us, the green new deal will pass and the

01:04:56.680 state of California will have their high speed rail for free. Well, not for free. It'll be on your back.

01:05:04.620 You will never write it in Iowa, but you'll pay for it. You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:05:13.920 American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

01:05:21.320 Okay, I can't tell you enough. I was meeting with some financial people yesterday on some

01:05:26.820 projects that we're working on. And I said, about the same, better, worse. We all agree that

01:05:38.020 Europe is a nightmare. The regular cycle of recession in America is way overdue. We're going to hit

01:05:50.000 troubled times. If Europe falls apart and it starts to shake apart, it's going to infect us and interest

01:05:58.620 rates are going to go up. Please refinance your home. Please get these low interest rates now. Or if

01:06:04.920 you're buying a new home, only go to AmericanFinancing.net. Do your own homework, but go to

01:06:09.620 AmericanFinancing.net. They're going to save you a boatload of money. By the way, the original cost of

01:06:14.640 that train $10 billion now expected to be $77 billion before it was canceled. Oh my gosh. Up to

01:06:20.160 $100, possibly, and would lose over a quarter billion dollars a year.

01:06:58.120 to, you know, you'll be standing someplace and there'll be people lined up around the block and

01:07:01.940 you'll be like, what the hell is, who's here? What celebrity is here? That's a nice introduction,

01:07:06.220 Glenn. Thank you. No, not for you. And they'll say, oh, it's Elizabeth Johnston. And you'll be like,

01:07:12.320 who? The people who know her, love her. Over 70 million views. She is, she's just a mom.

01:07:21.800 And she had enough. And so she started blogging, vlogging, and people are listening to her. She's

01:07:29.620 got a new book out, Not On My Watch, How to Win the Fight for Family, Faith, and Freedom. Welcome,

01:07:36.920 Elizabeth Johnston. How are you? Hi, Glenn. Thank you so much for having me. I'm great. I'm trying

01:07:42.700 not to wet my pants right now. I did the math. I did the math and I've been listening to you for

01:07:49.600 18 years. Oh my gosh. Wow. Oh my gosh. Thank you. Thank you. And I haven't cured you of that yet.

01:07:55.680 No matter how hard I tried. Glenn Beck is too much. Back when you were doing,

01:07:59.300 back when you were doing Moron Trivia every Friday, that's how far back I told you.

01:08:05.360 Okay. So, Elizabeth, tell me about yourself first, quickly, who you were before you were,

01:08:15.300 before you snapped. Yeah, I am a homeschooling mother of 10 children. My obsession,

01:08:23.080 my obsession these last 20 years have been my children, my husband, educating my children.

01:08:33.400 And really, we've been very active in the pro-life movement for 20 years. But what really was the

01:08:39.840 turning point for me was when Kim Davis went to jail for not being able to, according to her

01:08:48.720 conscience, sign a same-sex marriage license. And then when Obama issued his transgender bathroom

01:08:55.080 directive, and I knew that our little daughters were going to be submitted to having men in their

01:09:00.800 dresser rooms and locker rooms, I no longer recognized my country. I was extremely alarmed.

01:09:07.140 And I said, I have got to get off of the sidelines and get onto the front lines of culture.

01:09:12.360 That's when I filmed my first video, and the rest is history. Lo and behold, there was a huge hunger

01:09:19.120 for a bold and, when necessary, even confrontational response to the outrageous moral and social issues

01:09:26.960 of the day. So, tell me about some of the places, because I want to get into what you've paid.

01:09:34.340 It's come at a high price. But tell me, you know, Teen Vogue, for anybody who doesn't remember

01:09:40.440 your involvement in that. Yeah, we dealt Teen Vogue a black eye that they were never able to

01:09:47.660 recover from, by the grace of God. When Teen Vogue was teaching little children in a fashion

01:09:53.700 magazine, teenagers, how to have anal and oral sex with one another, we had had enough. And we built a

01:10:01.100 bonfire in my backyard, and I burned the magazine. And that video was viewed, I think, about 15 million

01:10:07.500 times. And we started Operation Pull Teen Vogue. I don't have a fund. I don't have, you know, money

01:10:13.880 or anything to work with. When I say grassroots, this is as grassy and as rooty as it gets, what we

01:10:19.480 do. And we started Operation Pull Teen Vogue and started calling their advertisers. And, of course,

01:10:27.000 the editor of Teen Vogue responded to us on Twitter by posting a picture, shooting a bird at us with his

01:10:33.800 rainbow-colored fingernail and a picture of him kissing his lover. But we didn't, as parents,

01:10:41.880 appreciate that that was how Teen Vogue responded to us. They're not concerned at all about the

01:10:46.520 sexualization of our children. And so five months later, they shuttered their print edition.

01:10:52.520 They were the only, only magazine of all of Condé Maths magazine, Vogue, Glamour, Brides.

01:10:58.960 They were the only one who had to shutter their print edition that year.

01:11:02.620 So I want to talk to you about abortion because you cover this in your new book. You cover all of

01:11:09.220 the issues that every parent is dealing with now. But I want to talk to you about abortion because I

01:11:13.540 think that we have, we've approached the cliff and we are looking into the abyss right now. And if we

01:11:21.280 don't pass this test, if America doesn't stand and say, okay, you know what? No, we do not do what

01:11:31.820 they're proposing in New York. This state, this, this, this law is immoral and wrong. We have gone

01:11:39.860 from, let's have an argument and we're making some progress to, they have gone to the insane lines

01:11:48.340 where the Nazis were. And even the German people stood up. If we don't pass this test, I think we

01:11:55.760 fail as a nation. Glenn, I agree. I believe that this is not just a horizontal problem, a policy

01:12:04.800 problem, that we have a very serious vertical problem between us as a culture and God. We do

01:12:11.080 not have God's heart on this issue. And that is why we are organizing something right now that is

01:12:17.240 the most important thing I have ever done. And I know that you and your listeners are going to love

01:12:21.060 this. This is the day of mourning. It is just a week and a half from now on February the 23rd,

01:12:27.280 we are asking Americans to wear black, to not shop, to close down your businesses and to repent with us

01:12:34.880 for the sin of abortion. This is just a week and a half away on February 23rd. If you go to dayofmorning.org,

01:12:41.720 you will get all the information you need, a toolkit there. We are asking Americans to stand in

01:12:48.080 solidarity with the pre-born. You know, we've tried a lot, Glenn, over the years. We've tried a lot of

01:12:53.580 different, you know, compromised pro-life measures, just taking scraps from under the table from these

01:12:58.300 politicians. We've tried so many things over the years. Can we try for a day as a nation to get on

01:13:06.360 our faces before God and plead for Him to change our hearts and have mercy on us? And maybe He will

01:13:12.880 hold back the judgment from us that we very much deserve right now. So I'd ask your listeners to

01:13:19.480 go to dayofmorning.org. We're going to have a huge rally in Albany, New York. The Benham brothers are

01:13:23.980 going to be speaking there. Black conservative David J. Harris, Jr., an eight-year-old abortion

01:13:28.960 survivor will be sharing with us. It's not going to be a pep rally. It's not going to be a fundraiser.

01:13:34.060 It is going to be a sober time of repentance and praying for God to send revival to us,

01:13:41.020 which I know that you know so much about times in history where we've had a massive spiritual

01:13:46.460 awakening. Guys, we've got to admit that that is what we need more than anything right now. And so

01:13:53.040 if your listeners could get behind us and be at our Albany, New York rally, this thing is going viral

01:13:58.360 and spread it now to over 10 cities that are going to be live streaming our event. Again, with no money,

01:14:04.400 this has become an expensive event, $20,000 for this venue in Albany. I had to borrow $2,000 from

01:14:12.160 my 16-year-old son a few days ago so we could buy plane tickets to get some of our speakers there.

01:14:17.680 But God has put this on our heart, Glenn, and we really believe that this is the call to action

01:14:24.220 right now, the day of mourning. So please go to dayofmorning.org, and I hope I can meet some of

01:14:28.940 your listeners in Albany, New York on the 23rd. Where's it being held in Albany?

01:14:35.580 The venue is awesome. The venue is actually the Empire State Plaza Convention Center room,

01:14:41.220 and listen to this, Glenn. It is literally underneath the ground where Cuomo and the

01:14:47.020 radical feminists signed and celebrated and cheered like they had won a Super Bowl game

01:14:52.080 when they signed that infanticide law. It's like Satan thought he had crushed us,

01:14:57.140 but he didn't realize that we were just seeds, and we're going to be the seeds under the ground

01:15:01.520 who are going to rise out from under the ashes of this terrible infanticide law, and we are going

01:15:07.600 to see an end, finally, to the child killing, I believe, as a result of this.

01:15:11.140 You know, it's interesting, and sorry to go, you know, religious on you here more than we already

01:15:17.800 have, but in my faith, all of our baptismal fonts are underground, because we believe that it is

01:15:25.480 dying and being cleansed and rising again. So we, all of our baptismal fonts have to be

01:15:33.700 in the basement level or, you know, at the ground level, underground. And it's striking to me that

01:15:43.480 you are holding this underground as you are, as you're mourning death and coming back up out from

01:15:52.580 under the ground, hopefully renewed. I'd like to talk to you more about this myself. I'd like to

01:15:58.760 help you in any way I can. You are facing pushback, and it's, you know, pretty extreme at times. And

01:16:10.440 a lot of people, when you say, you got to stand up, a lot of people say, I can't lose my job. I can't,

01:16:17.480 I can't do this. I can't do that. Any thoughts on that for the average person?

01:16:25.040 I'm afraid that too often we think that, you know, living for God is, is more of a popularity contest

01:16:33.500 than it is actually, you know, fighting and winning a battle. And so when people say to me that they

01:16:39.640 can't do what I do or they can't lose their job, they need to realize that I can lose everything

01:16:44.320 because of what I do too. A couple of weeks ago, I got an email that said, I will murder you and your

01:16:50.640 children. You have experienced this, of course, on a larger scale over the years as well. I have had

01:16:58.420 unbelievably slanderous hit pieces written against me and my family and shared 60,000 times on the

01:17:05.500 internet, unbelievable lies that could ruin us. And that could ruin my husband. My husband is a

01:17:11.300 medical doctor and people call my husband's hospital. They find where he works and they tell

01:17:16.280 lies about us. They call us terrible names, child abusers. They make up things about us.

01:17:22.240 And so we can lose everything too. And so please, you know, we can't use as an excuse,

01:17:28.540 our reputations and our job. Do we love our stuff more than we love the future that we're going to

01:17:36.040 hand down to the next generation? That's my all-consuming thought at all times as I'm working,

01:17:42.160 as I'm doing the activism, the ministry that we do. I'm always thinking about my children

01:17:47.120 and their children, my future grandchildren, 50 years of Christians sitting on their butts in pews,

01:17:54.260 doing nothing because Jesus is going to come back and rescue us all, is what has landed us in this

01:18:01.380 place. We have got to see that we are to be the salt and light of the world. We're not supposed to

01:18:07.860 wait for Jesus to come back. What if Jesus doesn't come back for 200 more years? What kind of hellhole

01:18:12.920 is this going to be at that point if we don't all rise up and do our job and do what we're supposed to

01:18:19.040 do? Um, we are talking to an amazing woman, Elizabeth Johnston. She is, uh, you can find

01:18:25.640 her at activist mommy.com. Uh, her new book is called not on my watch. Um, do you remember

01:18:32.960 Elizabeth, me saying probably 12 years ago or so, there's nothing more powerful than when you start

01:18:42.540 a sentence with, I'm, I'm a mom, I'm just a mom. Okay. Do you remember that? I don't, but, uh, I,

01:18:52.940 I'm, I certainly do agree with you. There's a power, um, with, with mama bears. And really that's

01:18:58.680 the, the whole premise of my book is that I am seriously just an ordinary person who's been carrying

01:19:04.720 a diaper bag around for 20 years, um, doing the work of a mother and God uses ordinary people.

01:19:11.620 How often have we seen throughout history, how God uses very ordinary people to do extraordinary

01:19:17.760 things for him. Um, I am able every day to inspire so many people to find their voice who have said,

01:19:24.500 I've been so afraid to speak and now I'm emboldened. And God wants to use all of your

01:19:30.240 listeners like that. And so I always say, whatever the issue is that he's put on your heart, is it,

01:19:35.380 is it abortion? You know, maybe your family needs to go outside of an abortion clinic and pray

01:19:39.500 together and offer help and hope for these women. Is it the transgender bathroom situation? Maybe

01:19:45.100 you need to be in front of your city council saying, no, not on my watch. We cannot allow this.

01:19:50.880 This is not right. Whatever that thing is, you know what it is. I don't, you do do that thing,

01:19:56.320 be faithful in that little thing. And, and as you know, David, the shepherd boy killed a lion

01:20:01.560 and a bear with his bare hand. If you will do that little thing, then you'll be amazed at the

01:20:08.120 giant that God will end up giving you to slay. Just be faithful.

01:20:12.340 Elizabeth Johnston, it is, uh, an honor to speak to you. Um, thank you for your clarity. Thank you for

01:20:18.860 your courage and thank you for being an inspiration to so many. The name of the book isn't so much,

01:20:24.500 Glenn.

01:20:24.680 You bet. The name of the book is not on my watch, Elizabeth Johnston. And I want to give the address

01:20:31.540 again of day of morning.org. Uh, that is the, what date is that happening, Elizabeth? Oh, she's,

01:20:40.520 she's already gone. Uh, yeah. Just look for day of morning. That's with a U, uh, dot org.

01:22:18.800 who was on the wonderful World of Stew a few years ago, talking about the train disaster

01:22:22.860 in California. High-speed rail. Listen.

01:22:29.020 Now he got a little more in depth in a second, but just ponder what he just said there.

01:22:34.440 Okay. Apparently the audio not working. Let me give you this though. In 2008, when the bill passed,

01:22:39.280 it was supposed to be $10 billion. Now it's supposed to cost $77 billion.

01:22:42.460 Jeez.

01:22:43.020 And they think it's going to be really over a hundred if they ever actually completed it.

01:22:45.680 It was supposed to give people a ride for $50 a person. Now it's up to $81 a person. This is

01:22:52.480 actually a few years ago. Some numbers are a little bit low. It was supposed to take two

01:22:56.140 hours and 40 minutes. It's now supposed to be between four hours and 440.

01:23:01.160 What kind of high speed is that?

01:23:03.140 I know. It was supposed to have 65 to 117 million riders in 2035. That got downgraded a tad to 19.6

01:23:15.200 to 31.8. So from 65 to 20, they downgraded how many people would actually be riding. And it's

01:23:20.380 supposed to cost between $124 million and $373 million a year, just to cover the cost of

01:23:27.280 the train running.

01:23:28.960 How much do you lose every year?

01:23:31.260 That's what I mean. About $373 million a year is expected on top of the $100 billion cost.

01:23:36.640 Oh my God.

01:23:37.060 All right. Let me tell you about a relief factor. Relief factor been helping me for the last year. It's

01:23:54.000 helped several people around the office. It's a hundred percent natural. It's drug free. It helps

01:24:01.300 work on your inflammation. It suppresses inflammation, which is the cause of most of

01:24:08.280 the pain.

01:24:08.760 You got to the point where you went to a 200 degree below zero cryo chamber to try to ease

01:24:14.520 your pain.

01:24:15.380 I did.

01:24:15.820 You actually did that.

01:24:16.820 You actually did everything before you tried relief factor, which would have saved you some time and

01:24:21.020 money, I will say.

01:24:21.960 Thank you.

01:24:22.100 You just would have tried it at the beginning.

01:24:23.380 Thank you.

01:24:23.660 Like everyone was telling you to.

01:24:24.660 Thank you. I just want you to know it hasn't, it's not a cure. It just makes your life livable

01:24:30.160 without having drugs in your system. And it is so greatly reduced my pain. It's been a miracle

01:24:36.840 for me and I hope it will be for you too. It is for 70% of the people who try it. Just try it for

01:24:42.380 three weeks. If it doesn't work in three weeks, it won't work. If it does, you get your life back.

01:24:46.960 Try it now. Go to relieffactor.com. That's relieffactor.com.

01:24:54.660 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:25:13.940 I have to tell you, we've had a couple of people on today and our next, the next voice you're going

01:25:18.880 to hear in a couple of minutes is, is, is not going to be an exception to this. We've had amazing

01:25:25.860 people on who have something really important to say. And our next guest has already gone viral

01:25:33.800 with her message that she gave just a few weeks ago. I want to talk to her about that, but she also

01:25:40.580 has tremendous insight on what's happening in Venezuela, in Latin America, and also the state

01:25:48.640 of the union. You know, I'm such a dummy. I know that last year they all dressed in black, you know,

01:25:56.200 for, you know, uh, what was it? Uh, uh, what is it? Yeah. Me too. Boy, where has that been for the

01:26:03.600 movement? They all wore all black. So this year they wear all white. And I just think, oh, it's black

01:26:07.520 and it's white. Okay. I got it. No, no, no, no, no. There's real deep significance behind that.

01:26:13.720 And you will not believe it when you hear the real story. Dr. Uh, Grazy Christie joins us next.

01:26:26.160 This is the Glenn Beck program. All right.

01:26:31.360 U S intelligence officials in their annual threat assessment, just issued a warning on

01:26:37.240 increased threats to our national security resulting from tighter cooperation between

01:26:41.620 China and Russia. Cyber war received central billing in this report as it has for several

01:26:47.880 years, but get this, the report says, and I'm quoting China for the first time, uh, is capable

01:26:54.800 of launching cyber attacks that could disable us critical infrastructure, such as disruption

01:27:01.820 of the natural gas pipelines for days to weeks. Look,

01:27:07.740 everything's being fought right now in ones and zeros information, uh, all of the disinformation,

01:27:19.380 the disruptions, it's all ones and zeros. And when it happens, it's going to happen so fast.

01:27:25.600 It's going to just be blinding. Please. I urge you, I urge you make sure you look at all of the stuff

01:27:33.220 that you have in 401k and your IRA and everything else. You look at what you have, where you have it

01:27:40.020 and spread out the risk as much as you can. If you have money in a big bank, one of the big five, great.

01:27:47.800 Do you have any money in a local standalone bank? Because you should, may I suggest you also have gold

01:27:54.760 or silver. I've been dealing with gold line for a very long time. And I am telling you there is

01:27:59.660 going to come a time I'm more convinced today than I ever have been that we are going to need

01:28:06.340 gold or silver just to be able to survive for a little while. Look at what's happening. That's

01:28:12.220 practically cannibalism in Seattle because of 20 inches of snow. What do you think is going to happen

01:28:16.700 if we have major disruption? Please go to gold line and find out if gold or silver is right for you.

01:28:23.540 Gold is always the place where people run when insanity rules the planet. And if we're not

01:28:29.880 insane now, what does insanity look like? 1-866-GOLD-LINE, 1-866-GOLD-LINE or goldline.com.

01:28:36.540 Dr. Grazie Christie is from Miami and she gave this great talk at the Right to Life March and it's

01:28:58.880 gone viral. You might have seen it and I'm going to ask her about that. But because she's from Miami,

01:29:04.880 she also has, you're from Latin America or your people are from Latin America, Grazie?

01:29:11.900 I'm from Cuban parents. My parents are Cuban and I grew up in Mexico. I've got it from all sides.

01:29:17.440 Okay. All right. So you have this, just this great understanding of what is happening. I think I just

01:29:24.460 want to start with what the white really signified because I just read a story two days ago from the

01:29:32.540 New York Times that the Democrats are concerned about Trump's stance on Venezuela because the

01:29:38.040 Venezuelans could be like Cubans. They could become conservatives and not vote for Democrats because

01:29:43.600 the Democrats look like they're wrong on the Venezuelan policy. And so they wear white

01:29:52.140 just by happenstance. At least that's what I think. Tell me the significance of the white that

01:29:58.480 they were wearing during the State of the Union.

01:30:01.700 So the women in the State of the Union and Democrats, they were referring to suffragettes,

01:30:06.720 the old suffragettes of women wanting the vote. And those women wore white when they demonstrated,

01:30:13.580 or sometimes they did, I guess. But when you're watching this from Miami and from other parts of the

01:30:19.280 country, the optics are very different because to us here, the wearing of white is done by women,

01:30:27.840 especially, who demonstrate peacefully for human dignity and women who live under an oppressive

01:30:36.440 authoritarian system like the one in Cuba or the one in Venezuela. So many years ago, women demonstrated

01:30:42.020 in white in Argentina when their children were being disappeared by the government. And so they

01:30:48.220 demonstrated asking for information on their children who had been kidnapped and tortured.

01:30:53.400 In Cuba, women in white dress every Sunday. They walk to church in Havana. And on the way to church,

01:30:59.960 these are women of political prisoners, their wives and sisters and mothers. On the way to church,

01:31:04.720 they're harassed by Castro's forces. So here in Miami, dressing in white just looks stupid because...

01:31:11.780 It signifies... There is something called the... What is it? The Damas de Blanco.

01:31:18.740 That's it. That's what they're called in Spanish. The ladies of white.

01:31:22.020 Okay. And they stand against oppression, and they stand against the oppression of government.

01:31:27.820 And so it is a... It's a... Not too subtle in the... In the Cuban or Venezuelan world or Latin American

01:31:38.540 world, it's a not-so-subtle tip of the hat of, hey, we're... We're standing against those who want to

01:31:45.580 oppress. But do they... Do they realize that the oppressor is the big government, the big Marxist

01:31:52.280 government, usually? Yeah. But what's horrible watching it from here and understanding is that

01:31:58.120 we know what real oppression looks like. We know what it's like when the country, when the governing,

01:32:03.320 the, you know, dictatorship destroys your life and takes your children and your husband and

01:32:08.780 just explodes the country. So much suffering, so many years of suffering in Cuba and now Venezuela.

01:32:14.860 And then we just... We look at these women, these democratic women who are elite, you know,

01:32:19.980 who have everything on their plate. Especially they have the right to protest their government

01:32:25.620 without being afraid of being imprisoned and tortured. So it just looks really bad from here.

01:32:30.980 We're talking to Dr. Grazie Christie. She is from Miami. She is with the CatholicAssociation.org,

01:32:39.260 Catholic... TheCatholicAssociation.org. She spoke at the Right to Life rally, and you talked about

01:32:48.500 abortion and the fallacy that a woman's life is in danger, and that's why we would perform a

01:32:57.260 late-term abortion. Can you address that?

01:33:00.720 Yeah. So I did a very short little Twitter video explaining that when a woman is in her third

01:33:06.280 trimester of pregnancy and she and her life is in danger, which is a very rare occurrence,

01:33:11.020 but it does happen, there is no need to abort the child. That what can happen and what should

01:33:16.600 happen is that the child should be delivered. So a late-term abortion for the mother's health

01:33:21.600 is never medically necessary. The preferential option should always be to try to preserve both

01:33:27.860 the life of the mother and the child.

01:33:30.000 I want to make sure that I have this right, because I had a doctor tell me the other day

01:33:34.400 that the right thing to do, if the mother, the health of the mother is really in jeopardy,

01:33:41.060 it usually means cesarean section right now. Get the child out of her right now. Correct?

01:33:47.560 Exactly. Exactly. And that's a six-minute procedure in skilled hands. So if there is a real urgency to

01:33:53.680 end the pregnancy, the way to end the pregnancy is through a C-section, not an abortion which destroys

01:33:57.800 the child. And the other case is, in destroying the child, that's a three-day process. So if the

01:34:07.280 mother's health is in danger, that would mean we've got to move. But this is a three-day process to kill

01:34:15.200 and then actually give birth to a dead child.

01:34:18.740 Right. And so when those women in white at the State of the Union address, when President Trump

01:34:25.200 spoke out against third trimester, late trimester abortion, and they just sat there with their sour

01:34:29.400 faces, you know, this is what they're advocating. They're advocating this crazy procedure where the

01:34:35.400 child ends up dead versus a quick cesarean section where at least the child gets a chance of life

01:34:41.720 and the mother will do just fine. Your parents, being from Cuba, and you growing up in that

01:34:49.420 community, I know Cuban refugees or kids of the refugees from Cuba, and they know exactly what's

01:35:02.180 coming. How are your parents dealing with this right now, watching their new country now going

01:35:08.560 through this? What are they saying at night? Well, what really astounds Cubans and other

01:35:14.580 people who've lived through socialist nightmares is the way that the Democratic Party is embracing

01:35:19.700 socialism. That just flips us out. We're just sitting here going, what? This has already been tried and

01:35:26.880 found disastrous and caused so much human suffering, so much pain. So there's a lot of that going on

01:35:34.500 down here. How can we help the Venezuelan people? You know, we can't get into Venezuela. The people that we

01:35:42.520 have in Venezuela, they don't want to talk to us because they're afraid that they will be found and

01:35:48.140 disappeared. Maduro has blocked all of the aid. He knows whoever controls the food wins. I mean, in the last

01:36:00.960 election, which was totally rigged, you know, he just he he arrested people who are running against

01:36:06.720 him. But in the poorest areas, he I can't remember what the slogan was in Spanish, but it translates to

01:36:13.520 you give I give meaning you give me your vote, and I'll give you the food. You just have to vote for

01:36:21.920 me. He's blocking all the food humanitarian aid because he knows he who has the food has control.

01:36:27.860 What do we do? Well, he's got to be treated as the pariah that he is by the entire world of the

01:36:36.000 entire political community of the world. Also, especially the United States. And also, we have

01:36:42.220 to remember that it's Cuba. It's the dictatorship in Cuba that's keeping Venezuela going. Right. So I

01:36:48.480 think also there has to be a big crackdown on our relations with Cuba, because there's a lot of help

01:36:53.780 coming over there from us in the way. Well, lots of different ways, but even just tourism.

01:36:59.500 So we're helping to prop up the Cuban economy. And the Cubans are spending a ton of money

01:37:04.660 making Venezuela a hellhole. Also, Mexico, Mexico is the president of Mexico is one of the only

01:37:12.500 in this hemisphere. There's only two other countries, Cuba, and I can't remember the other one,

01:37:18.100 maybe Chile that are not that they're still siding with Maduro. Mexico, this guy, do you know anything

01:37:26.180 about the new president? Because I don't know much other than he is a he's a, you know, a diehard

01:37:33.100 Marxist. But his all I know is my Mexican friends here. And there's a lot of Mexicans here in Miami

01:37:40.100 again. Everyone in Miami is from somewhere else. So but they're really destroyed by by the new

01:37:47.300 president. They really think he's going to be it's another Venezuela, another. Yes, yes, it's a very

01:37:53.420 distressing thing to have a Marxist at the helm of that good country. Doctor, I appreciate it. I

01:37:59.880 appreciate your strength and willingness to speak out. How's how's your career doing with now that

01:38:05.600 you're, you know, being so outspoken on abortion? No, one of the things that scared me a little bit

01:38:12.860 is the amount of hate that's been poured on me over this, especially my little Twitter thing that

01:38:19.680 went viral. And I'm surprised at how much personal animus people think is appropriate to throw. But I

01:38:28.720 guess you're not surprised. No, no, I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. It is. It's an honor to talk to

01:38:34.260 you. Thank you so much. And I'd like to stay in touch with you because I think you you have a unique

01:38:40.420 view of what's happening in the world. So thank you so much. I'd be honored. Thank you. You bet

01:38:46.740 from the Catholic Association dot org. Dr. Grazi Grazi Christie from Miami. You're never more than 60

01:38:55.440 seconds away from our opinion and our news. We're going to stop here for 60 seconds to tell you

01:39:01.140 about relief factor. One hundred percent drug free. It's created by doctors and it's for people

01:39:07.500 who are in pain. And, you know, 50 million people are going to miss work today here in America because

01:39:13.200 of pain. Fifty million people have chronic pain and they just can't deal with it. And I understand.

01:39:21.720 And there are people that have bad backs, bad shoulders, you know, injuries, bad knees that work

01:39:28.560 here. And they're all taken relief factor. People have been trying to tell me to take relief factor

01:39:34.060 for a long time, but it's all natural. And so I don't believe in that until I got so desperate.

01:39:39.920 I started taking it last last Christmas, a year ago, Christmas. They say, just try it for three

01:39:44.780 weeks. And that's what my wife said. Just try it for three weeks. If it doesn't work, what do you

01:39:48.000 have to lose? Just try it. Why are you so stubborn? OK, all right. She sounds terrible. She is.

01:39:53.820 Wow. She's all over you. She's awful. Why does she treat you that way? I know. And she sounds

01:39:58.580 just like that. Really? Yes. Yes, she does. So anyway, I tried it for three weeks and she was

01:40:03.640 right. And so I missed the last part there. Yeah, well, you miss you miss a little. You

01:40:07.940 miss a lot, don't you? So here's the thing. It's relief factor. Go to relief factor dot

01:40:13.820 com relief factor dot com and get out of pain. We pause now for 10 seconds. Station ID.

01:40:23.820 You know, I love shows like today and I hate shows like today. I mean, I love shows like

01:40:44.760 today because we talk to people who are just amazing and they're putting it all out there.

01:40:49.640 Yeah. You know what I mean? That's pretty inspiring. I think it's very inspiring. And

01:40:53.300 then I every time I'm in those interviews, I'm like, you are such a slug. What are you

01:40:59.400 doing? That's what I think about you, too, in those moments. Right? Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

01:41:03.100 That's so weird. We came to the same conclusion. So strange because my wife was just saying,

01:41:06.920 you should fire Stu. And I'm like, no, don't fire Stu. You should do that. Was I right about

01:41:12.280 relief factor? Again, you should listen to her. But so I think so you're saying that you feel

01:41:17.680 like you should be out there more doing. You know, don't you ever feel that way? Don't

01:41:20.840 you feel like? No, you don't. I'm not much of an activist. Yeah. I'm not either. I don't.

01:41:25.800 I'm not either. But I feel like we're supposed to be, you know, I don't know. I don't know.

01:41:34.280 I'm it's it's hard. This job for me, at least, is hard because I'm sitting here. I'm getting

01:41:42.360 paid. You know, I mean, what are the troubles in my life?

01:41:48.800 Right. I know. I understand that feeling. I mean, I think you have to look at it from a broader

01:41:53.140 perspective. I mean, we talked to the activist mommy last hour who's making a real impact with

01:41:57.680 an event in Albany about abortion and 70 million video views and a new book out and everything.

01:42:02.860 And as she kind of alluded to, I mean, one of the reasons she's doing all this is because

01:42:06.860 of you. Right. She listened to this show over a long period of time in the show on Fox and maybe

01:42:12.120 CNN and maybe Blaze TV and all these things. And there has to be some people who everyone

01:42:18.020 has a role. Right. Yeah. And I think that that is. I know. I guess I guess maybe we all feel

01:42:23.560 this way. Maybe other people, maybe she at times feels like, oh, if I just had, you know,

01:42:28.320 the if I just had Glenn Beck's job, then it would be different. You know, maybe. I don't know. But

01:42:33.540 it's just I guess we just have to all be comfortable with our own roles. Because like the first thing I

01:42:38.840 thought of is I want to be in Albany next week. Is it next week? Yeah. It's the 23rd. They're doing

01:42:43.760 the event in Albany, which is it's the week preceding like CPAC. Am I going to CPAC? Am I speaking at CPAC?

01:42:51.020 I've heard rumors of this. I don't know for sure if it's confirmed. I think it's happening,

01:42:55.240 but I don't know for sure. I got a note from Matt Schlapp and he said, hey,

01:42:58.160 you want to speak? And I said, sure. But I haven't heard anything else. So I don't know

01:43:02.280 if I'm. So I don't know if that's happening. Yeah. Anyway, the setting up something like

01:43:07.060 that is a big deal. You've done some of that. Obviously, the rallies going back to the rally

01:43:11.440 for America back in the day or to all of the restoring events that have happened over the

01:43:16.720 years. I mean, I think that's part of what we do here. But I mean, I think it's more than

01:43:21.840 that. One of the things you talked about it through all of those events was we need to find

01:43:25.100 the next George Washington. We need to find the next person who's going to be doing that.

01:43:29.120 And they are standing up. Yeah. And it's happening more and more. That is that is encouraging.

01:43:33.260 Unfortunately, I think the left is also getting that same thing happening where they're finding

01:43:38.100 their people to stand up and, you know, and they just they can empower people so quickly.

01:43:44.000 You know, it's amazing is what we found out last night on last night show. We were playing

01:43:48.020 connect the dots like we used to on Fox because there's a whole new group of people connecting

01:43:52.560 dots to and and we sat there like a bunch of dummies looking at the State of the Union

01:44:00.260 address and the rebuttal. And how many people do you know, say, why did they pick the woman

01:44:06.200 who lost the Georgia governor's election? Why would you pick her?

01:44:11.460 Well, we found out last night who was connecting the dots. She is the elite elite pick. She's the

01:44:21.860 one who is talking about reparations and all of these really crazy things. And they're not done

01:44:28.420 with her. They just think that she is a superstar. And it's the same group of people, democracy

01:44:35.240 alliance. You know, the George Soros group and media matters. All those all those guys. That's

01:44:43.140 who they are. They're pushing. That's why she was there. Not because the Democratic Party said it,

01:44:48.460 but because that's one of their new up and coming stars. And they they man, they do have a good system

01:44:56.280 at that, don't they? Where we don't we feast on each other. We're still trying to get people to stop

01:45:02.280 fighting with each other who are all conservative. Every freaking 10 seconds is another conservative

01:45:07.660 bashing another conservative. I mean, I that's just endless. Stop it. But I mean, look, Ocasio

01:45:12.980 Cortez is a decent example of this. Remember, all these people that are now embracing Ocasio

01:45:17.880 Cortez all endorsed Joe Crowley in the race. They all wanted her opponent to win, not her. She was a

01:45:26.680 longtime Democrat that had been there forever. He was up near the leadership of the

01:45:32.220 of the Democratic Party. He had all the friends in Washington, all the people wanted him to win,

01:45:38.420 not her. Now that she's there, they're all acting like they're on her side. And you know what? As

01:45:43.280 soon as the heat kind of comes off of Ocasio-Cortez, which it's already starting to happen at some

01:45:48.760 level, the Green New Deal is not that there's not been a positive rollout. I don't think anybody

01:45:52.440 would argue that the idea that, you know, once the heat goes off of that, they'll go to somebody

01:45:57.380 else. You know, but they do empower people quickly. They try to take advantage of those

01:46:02.240 things. You know, the Republicans run. I mean, when is it? I saw an article about this and it was,

01:46:07.220 I can't remember where I saw it, but someone was writing about how Republicans have just stopped

01:46:11.580 even going on talk radio shows. This is the entire basis of the party for 20 years.

01:46:17.520 And largely, they've just stopped going on these shows at all to try to explain to their base what

01:46:23.160 they're trying to do. And it's because they've been called out too many times for their failures.

01:46:28.480 But I mean, if you don't do that, you're not going to get these people stepping up for you

01:46:32.660 when you're trying to do something that's going to help the country and the Constitution.

01:46:41.380 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:46:44.940 Okay, so you know the old phrase, when it rains, it pours. Weirdly accurate,

01:46:49.180 especially when your car dies or you need a major repair. You know, usually that's right

01:46:54.260 after your hot water tank has just exploded or you have a huge medical bill or you're tapped out

01:46:59.680 from Christmas. Then all of a sudden, or the dreaded check engine light service light comes on. No,

01:47:07.240 no, no, no. I'm this one. I, uh, where can I find the fuse for the service light to make it go back

01:47:11.820 out again? Uh, that's why you absolutely need extended vehicle protection from car shield. Car shield

01:47:18.360 makes the process of fixing your car for covered repair. Super easy. Um, yeah, he, he don't have

01:47:24.000 to care. You don't, you don't have to care what it costs. You don't have to care what this situation

01:47:27.360 is. You just get it done easily. If your car has 5,000, 150,000 miles on it, doesn't mean you have

01:47:31.720 to pay high repair bills. Car shield. It's already paid out over $2 billion in claims. They pay it

01:47:56.640 This is the Glenn Beck program. Al Gore made a movie called the inconvenient truth. And I remember

01:48:11.940 when Stu went, uh, or when I went, Stu was holding his breath. He had already seen it and he knew,

01:48:18.480 oh man, if Glenn gets his teeth into this one and he's swayed by the, you know, whatever. And I,

01:48:25.880 I walked out of it and I went, that was a powerful movie. And I called you from the lobby of the movie

01:48:30.800 theater. And I said, give me all the other side. I want to hear all the other side. Um, and we

01:48:37.860 debunked it piece by piece and it led to a book, an inconvenient book, uh, which had inconvenient

01:48:44.480 facts, but that was only part of that book. There's a new book out now called inconvenient

01:48:49.560 facts. The science that Al Gore doesn't want you to know. And the author Gregory Whitestone is a

01:48:56.000 right stone is, uh, with us, uh, now to go over some of it. How are you, Greg? I'm good. Thanks for

01:49:01.360 having me on. Yeah, you bet. You bet. Okay. So we were just talking off air about forest fires.

01:49:06.080 Yes. Let's talk. Let's start there on, uh, on what climate change is doing to the state of

01:49:11.980 California. Yeah, it's just awful. Did you know that forest fire, the number of forest fires actually

01:49:17.440 are declining in California? According to Cal fire, that's the source of all fire related data

01:49:23.620 in California. According to Cal fire, the number of fires have declined by almost 50% over the last

01:49:29.240 30 years. Now, granted the area burned has increased, but that has the area burned has nothing to do with

01:49:35.280 global warming or climate change, but rather poor, poor forest management.

01:49:39.700 No, Greg, it has everything to do with, there's no water in California and it's getting hotter in

01:49:44.680 California. Well, the dirty little secret is with fires, there's, there's three things we need,

01:49:49.580 uh, for wildfires and forest fires. You need an ignition source, you need fuel, and then you need

01:49:55.100 arid, uh, conditions. And you know what we're doing? Man's actions are actually contributing

01:50:00.240 negatively to all three, but it's not because of global warming. Um, the Sierra Nevada Conservancy

01:50:06.500 says there are four to five times as many trees per acre today than what a normal healthy forest

01:50:13.060 should have four to five times too much. And what that means is of course, more fuel that's easily

01:50:17.560 understood. But what it would also means is the second largest source of aridity of loss of soil

01:50:23.640 moisture is the moil that's sucked out of the, out of the ground in the soil from the trees,

01:50:28.320 from the trees. So now you've got four to five times too many trees competing for that same scarce,

01:50:34.480 uh, soil moisture. When you think about it now, it's leading to the aridity and there's estimated

01:50:41.200 1000% increase in the last 40 years of people living in fire prone areas. So now we get ignition

01:50:48.340 sources up, we got more fuel and we got more aridity and it's not due to climate change or global

01:50:53.880 warming. Of course that causes a lot more damage when the fire actually happens to get a lot more homes

01:50:57.820 intensity area burning. California has increased. So necessarily, uh, each fire is about twice as

01:51:05.320 big as it used to be. But the good news clan that goes on reported is that worldwide fires,

01:51:11.080 the number of fires is declining and it's the experts. Well, but it's probably those fires are

01:51:16.360 put out because of all the hurricanes that are happening. Yeah. But that would be area burned.

01:51:20.160 We're talking, they, they're, they're talking about number of fires. And once that fire ignites,

01:51:24.420 they count it. So even if it's put out, it's counted. So what we find is soil moisture across

01:51:29.880 the world is increasing and the fire experts tell us it's because of climate change, increasing

01:51:35.440 precipitation. And the climate alarmist will say, well, that'll lead to flooding. And it might in

01:51:40.360 some cases, but the good news is we're seeing increased soil moisture around the world. And then

01:51:45.340 because of increased CO2 fertilization effect, plants need less water.

01:51:50.300 I mean, okay. All right. But I mean, you're such a denier. Um, let's go to the real facts. Let me

01:51:57.280 take you to the real facts. Um, the, the polar ice caps are, are melting. The polar bears are having

01:52:04.480 to move, you know, down into civilization because they're there. It's just, they have no ice. They

01:52:11.700 have no more ice. And at the same time, you see how hot it's getting. And at the same time,

01:52:17.960 how cold it's getting all around the world answer that one. Yeah. Well, sea ice is diminishing in

01:52:24.980 the, the Northern polar ice cap. Um, just as an aside, before we go any farther, you may not realize

01:52:31.200 you could melt the entire Northern polar ice cap and it would have scarcely any effect on, on sea

01:52:37.180 level. And the reason is it's ice that's floating on the ocean. So as it melts, it displays. So we can,

01:52:43.300 it's, it's only land based glaciers that cause sea level rise. Uh, but what we have, and in my new

01:52:50.040 app, I've got a, uh, a chart showing the decline of sea ice and then comparing it to the increase in

01:52:57.080 population of polar bears. So as sea ice has been diminishing, polar bears are increasing. Now granted,

01:53:03.280 part of it's because we stopped doing trophy hunting. Uh, but certainly the loss of sea ice

01:53:08.480 hasn't hurt them to any measurable extent. And, uh, the study related in the book, they compared

01:53:14.500 bears in a high ice loss area along the Russia to the areas of bears that didn't have much.

01:53:21.120 And those bears where there was a lot of ice loss, man, they were fat and happy. They were much,

01:53:27.080 much heavier, more successful than the bears where there was a lot of ice. I have a say to you,

01:53:31.780 I also have an update on a stat that we talk about all the time when it comes to polar bears. I mean,

01:53:36.040 back in the sixties, it was about 5,000 polar bears that existed. And we talk all the time,

01:53:39.680 Glenn, we said this just the other day that it's about up to about 25,000. And that number had come

01:53:44.600 from the mid two thousands ish. So I, I honestly hadn't seen an update in quite some time. You have

01:53:49.920 an update in the book. Yeah. It's, it's a 2017, uh, Susan Crockford's probably the top polar bear

01:53:55.800 expert. And I communicated her. I wanted to get the best data. Uh, we published the book about a year

01:54:02.340 ago. We've got a new app that's come out. I contacted, we were back and forth. I said,

01:54:06.400 what's the best day to have to date? And that's what's incorporated in the app. Confirmed what

01:54:11.120 I have in the book there. And the average now bear in mind, it's dangerous and pretty tough to

01:54:17.000 measure polar bear populations because, uh, they eat you. Apparently American people taste a lot like

01:54:23.820 seals because we're on the polar bear. Right. And, uh, but, but, uh, her average, she estimates

01:54:30.380 28,500. So it's increased since that, that, because I remember the first time I heard 5,000

01:54:35.900 to 25,000, I thought it was impossible. Bear in mind. There's an, there's like an error bar

01:54:40.580 like this. It might be off by a couple of thousand because it's pretty tough to bottom line is we

01:54:45.780 haven't seen a significant decrease. It's definitely been increasing. It's just how much that's the

01:54:51.420 question. When it comes to the fires, let me back up a little bit to that. One of the things

01:54:55.960 that people will say when it comes to these fires getting worse is we just have had so much drought.

01:55:01.740 There, there's been more, there's more drought now than there's ever been before. And that's causing

01:55:05.240 all of these problems to get worse. Yeah. Again, again, what we're being told flies in the face

01:55:10.460 of the science and the facts. Um, I think at this point it might be, might be interesting for your

01:55:16.140 viewers to find out that I didn't set out to write a book. I set out to seek the truth. And it was that

01:55:21.760 search for the truth that led me to this. And that was one of the stunning things about drought and

01:55:27.220 forest fires. When I found out that actually droughts were in a slight decline, um, and especially

01:55:33.280 the big droughts were declining. I just, I said, wow. And I said, no one knows that. No one knows

01:55:39.800 that. Yeah. Everyone. There might be droughts here and there, but overall. Right. Exactly.

01:55:44.980 Droughts is all have always been with us. They always will be. The good news is, um, the most severe

01:55:50.340 droughts are being exacerbated mainly by that increase in soil moisture we talked about before.

01:55:56.080 Um, and this increase in soil moisture, uh, alleviates those droughts. I've got a chart in

01:56:01.320 the book and on my app, uh, showing the most intense and significant droughts of the 20th

01:56:06.000 century. And if you look at those, those are the really bad ones, the dust bowl, the dust

01:56:10.860 bowl, the Sahel droughts. Uh, uh, there were, there were a number of, I think there were 28 that

01:56:16.060 they recognized in the 20th century, but we find that most of those, almost all of them

01:56:20.660 were in before 1960. Um, so as CO2 is increased as temperature increased and yes, temperature

01:56:28.340 we're in a temperature increase. Thankfully we have been for the last 300 years.

01:56:33.960 You say thankfully, and you actually show that pretty well in the book.

01:56:36.800 Oh yes. Uh, when it comes to, you know, the, the amount of greens that were greenery,

01:56:42.820 were we able to grow? I mean, it's increased almost everywhere in the entire world.

01:56:45.840 Yeah. And also it's fascinating. If you look over, uh, human history, if we look over the

01:56:52.860 last 4,500 years, each of the warming trends that we've seen, the Minoan, uh, the Roman,

01:56:59.480 the medieval warm period, each one of these, uh, correlated to a benefit of, of civilization.

01:57:04.760 We see a great correlation between the rise and fall of temperature and the rise and fall

01:57:09.340 of civilizations. Um, if you were Emperor Glenn in a warm period, you had it good cause you could

01:57:15.420 feed your subjects. Food was bountiful. Um, people had time to, to dream, to tinker, to invent

01:57:21.740 in the cold periods, just again, opposite of what we're being told. The cold periods were where bad

01:57:27.860 things happened consistently. Famine, crop failure, pestilence, nasty population. Cold is very,

01:57:36.120 very bad. And in the little ice age, which was just recently, uh, we started warming at the end

01:57:41.900 of this late, late 17th century. And it's that beneficial warmth that we're recognizing today.

01:57:48.520 Yeah. But if it stays on this, uh, worst case projections will be as hot as the sun in a thousand

01:57:53.160 years. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's the problem is they take these projections and then say worst

01:57:59.740 case scenario. Well, that's not happened to the world before. And if you look back, how many,

01:58:06.440 how many, uh, hothouse and ice house periods have there been? Yeah, they've been most of the earth

01:58:12.340 has been significantly going back to the pre-camp had been significantly warmer than we are today

01:58:17.320 by as much as 15 to 20 times or degrees Fahrenheit. Wow. 15 to 20 times hotter.

01:58:24.340 Significant. It's called hothouse events or, or ice house events, which is what we're in now,

01:58:28.800 uh, during ice house events, we've, uh, ice at both poles or one of the poles during the hothouse,

01:58:35.140 there's no ice, uh, on earth. And, uh, really, and, but the, the, the key thing here is we look

01:58:41.720 at carbon dioxide. Uh, it's in the past up until now is consistently temperature has caused carbon

01:58:50.260 dioxide to change. In other words, when it warms, the oceans vent carbon dioxide. So carbon

01:58:55.940 dioxide increases during cold periods, it sucks up. Cause I know it sounds counterintuitive,

01:59:01.180 but if you put your, a liter of, of ginger ale in your refrigerator, right? You open it up and it

01:59:06.700 goes, you put that out in your, on your patio in August and open it up. And man, it's like a volcano.

01:59:13.200 And then what that's doing is spewing the carbon dioxide. And we have that same event happen with

01:59:18.460 the warming ocean. Um, so the, actually the, the temperature change precedes changes in CO2.

01:59:24.780 When did CO2 become bad? Cause I remember being taught in school where you taught this

01:59:29.420 that what you, that it was the miracle of the miracle of the circle of life

01:59:35.360 is poison to man. If enough of that, you breathe out what you can no longer use,

01:59:42.740 but the trees breathe it in and they breathe out poison to them. If you will, uh, just the air

01:59:51.800 that we can breathe the oxygen that we breathe. And it's, it's this circle. Is that even taught

01:59:58.220 anymore? I don't know about that. I know you and I learned it. Uh, it's, but did you learn

02:00:03.740 that? I did learn it. Yep. You've hit on an important point here. Glenn is that they need

02:00:08.680 to demonize carbon dioxide and they need to demonize it terribly because this is, this

02:00:13.520 drives all of these anti the, the environmental people to keep it in the ground movement, the

02:00:19.500 anti-fossil fuel, the divestment movement on college campuses. It's all driven by a demonization

02:00:25.560 of carbon dioxide. They're saying that carbon dioxide is driving dangerous increases in temperatures

02:00:31.680 and that those dangerous increases in temperatures will necessarily lead to catastrophic events.

02:00:36.740 Right. Well, what they, what these predictions are in their predictions, they're based on failed

02:00:42.260 climate models of what may happen 30, 50 or 80 years in the future. What I've done in the book

02:00:47.960 and in the, in the app is, is to say, well, what's actually happening today? And we've been warming

02:00:54.260 for 300 years. We've been in adding significant CO2 for, well, since the end of the world war II.

02:01:00.740 Shouldn't we recognize something bad happening by now? But yet, no, we see crops continue

02:01:06.520 to increase, not entirely do it due to it, but it was significant contributors, warming temperatures,

02:01:11.840 lengthening growing seasons and increasing CO2 leading to CO2 fertilization. And we see these

02:01:17.640 bad things that are predicted just ain't happening.

02:01:20.940 I mean, even, even the UN says the net, increased CO2 levels until I think it's about 2080 is a net

02:01:28.160 benefit for the globe, which is a, it's a, it's a statement you'd never hear said other, that doesn't

02:01:32.580 mean they don't have negative consequences in some parts. This is again, the UN saying

02:01:35.680 this, but they say net net for the globe. It's actually a benefit until about 2080.

02:01:40.300 Yeah. Yeah. I don't think the UN is a good person to use because they've, they've got a history

02:01:43.660 of, of failed predictions and you're right. But even if they're saying it, um, and of course

02:01:49.720 they're, they're intergovernmental panel on climate change at the UN, uh, uh, climate alarmist

02:01:56.460 organization, things like, uh, there's, there are things that they capture that they kind

02:02:00.280 of say tucked away here and there that I've publicized here as an inconvenient fact. Um,

02:02:07.180 and so this, yeah.

02:02:08.580 Can you, can you tell us about the app here before we leave real quick?

02:02:11.320 Yep. Uh, app store, Google play store search for inconvenient facts. It's awesome. It's powerful.

02:02:18.940 It puts, it puts this information in the palm of your hands. It's well-sourced, well-referenced

02:02:23.780 and, uh, videos linked, uh, to each one of these.

02:02:28.280 That's great.

02:02:28.540 So this is something that you can have in your pocket at all the time. So when you meet a

02:02:32.680 climate alarmist, you go to the app and it will help you with the charts and the graphs.

02:02:37.560 Everything is sourced. Uh, everything is, uh, is triple check to make sure that it's exactly

02:02:42.680 right. And you have the argument. So you're not going, geez, I wish I heard that guy. I wish

02:02:48.300 I would have listened or written it down and, or I did write it down and now I don't have

02:02:51.960 the paper. It's there on your phone with inconvenient app. Get the inconvenient app.

02:02:57.260 Thank you so much.

02:02:58.340 Thanks for having me on.

02:02:59.040 You bet. God bless.

02:03:04.540 All right. We are going through a time period right now where, um, you're being tracked on

02:03:11.060 everything. Um, uh, there's a new book out about, uh, what is it? Surveillance capitalism

02:03:17.460 where we're being surveilled because it makes our life easier, but you're also being surveilled

02:03:23.100 and letting people in, uh, that you don't want to have any of your information. That's

02:03:28.160 why never use public wifi, but you need a, a virtual, uh, private network. Okay. Virtual

02:03:36.720 means it's not running off of your network. It's actually running some other place. It bounces

02:03:40.920 around. If you've ever seen the movies where they're like, trace that call, trace that,

02:03:44.580 that computer and it's bouncing all around. That's a VPN. Okay. And it goes across the

02:03:50.960 screen. That's how you know it's official because it makes that little noise. Exactly

02:03:54.280 right. They're like just 20 more seconds and we have them. Uh, that's a VPN. And what it

02:03:59.100 does is it stops even things like Facebook from just tracking you. Um, you know, they're,

02:04:04.160 they're now tracking, they think you're in, uh, you know, Sweden. So the, the ads might

02:04:09.540 be a little different, uh, sometimes, uh, with this, but the people to trust with the

02:04:14.480 secure VPN is Norton. Norton has been doing security forever. Uh, don't, don't trust the

02:04:21.940 Facebook VPN. They're tracking you Norton secure VPN. Remember anything that is free means you're

02:04:30.640 the product. This isn't free, but it's $3 and 33 cents a month. That's it. That's where they

02:04:36.800 start. Uh, and you can get that right now. You just download the app, you, you log in.

02:04:42.420 And then every time you open it, it takes care of it for you. It's Norton secure VPN. I want

02:04:47.780 you to sign up now, uh, get an annual subscription starts at three 33, uh, a month. You do that.

02:04:54.060 Now, all you have to do is go to, um, Norton.com slash VPN. That's Norton.com slash VPN.

02:05:06.800 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
