00:00:57.020 What you are about to hear
00:01:23.820 is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:29.880 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:35.840 Hello, America.
00:01:37.600 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:39.380 We've got a lot to cover today.
00:01:40.880 We've got Nikki Haley on talking about Russia, China, what keeps her up at night.
00:01:47.960 Holy cow.
00:01:49.920 She has a lot to say.
00:01:52.080 We have that coming up for you.
00:01:53.340 Clips of the podcast that comes out tomorrow or is available now for Blaze TV subscribers.
00:01:59.860 Also, the choice is simple.
00:02:03.120 The choice the president gave America yesterday.
00:02:10.780 Oh, and the choice isn't so simple in New York.
00:02:14.360 Why follow the science?
00:02:16.140 They're not sure they should follow the science outlined by the CDC yesterday with masks.
00:02:22.900 Oh, my gosh.
00:02:24.320 It is a mental disorder.
00:02:26.500 We go there in 60 seconds.
00:02:31.820 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:34.560 All right.
00:02:35.640 All righty then.
00:02:36.800 Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.
00:02:39.440 You're going to try to sell your home.
00:02:41.280 You have the best real estate agent.
00:02:43.080 Make sure you have them.
00:02:44.100 Make sure you have somebody who knows how to drive traffic to their website.
00:02:47.860 And they don't have to just advertise your home.
00:02:50.400 They've just got all these people coming to their website over and over again.
00:02:54.000 And that way, when your home is posted, the eyes will fall on it right away.
00:02:58.720 And you'll be able to sell your home fast.
00:03:01.320 Make sure they have the best practices in not only advertising, but also dealing with people.
00:03:07.300 Make sure they have high scores from the people that have done business with them.
00:03:12.300 You can find that real estate agent now at realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:03:16.840 It's a free service to you, realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:03:21.160 Especially if you're buying out of state, how do you know who the right real estate agent is?
00:03:26.420 Well, you can call us and we'll find one in that area.
00:03:29.300 If you are looking to buy or sell a home, get the best real estate agent.
00:03:34.620 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:03:37.020 In case you don't know, let me just tell you.
00:03:52.640 The president said last night, the rule is simple.
00:03:58.020 Get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do.
00:04:02.300 The choice is yours.
00:04:03.980 Wait, I don't think I read that right.
00:04:07.880 The rule is not simple.
00:04:09.940 Get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do.
00:04:13.260 The choice is yours.
00:04:14.920 Oh, that's great.
00:04:16.700 I love that.
00:04:19.200 Really?
00:04:20.360 You know, Mr. President, the choice has always been ours.
00:04:24.360 And it will always be ours.
00:04:27.320 The rule is really simple.
00:04:30.400 You can find it in a little document called the Constitution.
00:04:35.460 And if I may point out, I think the sequel is even better.
00:04:38.660 No, I do.
00:04:39.820 I don't know about you, Stu.
00:04:41.480 And you can read the sequel.
00:04:43.700 You can find it online under something called the Bill of Rights.
00:04:47.240 You can read that online right now.
00:04:50.960 And you don't even have to read the first part.
00:04:53.900 You'll understand the sequel.
00:04:56.100 A lot of people feel the same way about Godfather 2, Glenn.
00:04:59.460 I like it more than the original.
00:05:01.340 It's very rare.
00:05:02.440 Yes.
00:05:02.780 But yeah, I know.
00:05:03.840 It's pretty good.
00:05:04.300 I know.
00:05:04.880 So, Dr. Angela tweeted, the president's business literally is to lead this nation.
00:05:14.620 He was elected to do that job and swore an oath to protect the American people, even if it means protecting us from ourselves.
00:05:25.760 Doctor, I think you're wrong on that.
00:05:29.660 He didn't take an oath to protect the American people.
00:05:33.980 He took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
00:05:40.760 That's what protects the American people.
00:05:43.860 Whenever you say, we've got to protect the people, even from ourselves, I'm pretty sure that's going to run you into an obstacle called the Bill of Rights.
00:05:55.960 That's collectivism.
00:05:58.180 And that's why the Constitution and Bill of Rights are so very important.
00:06:02.700 It's also a lesson that should have been learned a long time ago in the pandemic, which is mandates don't mean anything in a lot of ways.
00:06:13.700 People do what they assess the risk that they see in front of them, and they try to react based on that.
00:06:20.460 And so people went into lockdown in March 2020 before the government said they needed to.
00:06:25.520 People came out of lockdown in the summer before a lot of these states said they could.
00:06:31.980 And they did it because they believed that was right.
00:06:34.180 People like to put, like, they draw the chart of the virus, and then they put on all the mandates, like, kind of mark the timelines.
00:06:42.900 And it's interesting to look at.
00:06:44.380 But, like, if people aren't listening to the mandates, which a lot of times they're not, what good does this do?
00:06:50.580 We act as if the government controls everyone's lives and, like, we can, like, do these high-tech experiments based on when mandates start and end.
00:06:58.080 That's not what people do.
00:06:59.500 They try to live their lives and assess their own risk, which, by the way, is the way the country should run.
00:07:05.740 That is America.
00:07:07.940 And may I say, they also assess the risks to their neighbors.
00:07:14.040 Americans are decent people.
00:07:16.740 You know, I love the fact that because I haven't gotten a vaccine, I've had COVID recently.
00:07:23.900 Three months ago, I had COVID.
00:07:26.120 So I got the antibodies.
00:07:28.380 Will I get a vaccine?
00:07:29.920 I'm sure I will.
00:07:32.000 I don't care if you get a vaccine or don't get a vaccine.
00:07:35.640 If you get a vaccine, you supposedly are not going to get coronavirus.
00:07:42.280 You can't get it from somebody like me.
00:07:44.820 I already have the antibodies who haven't had the vaccine.
00:07:48.560 The people who don't get the vaccine are mainly a harm to themselves.
00:07:53.120 I don't know why this is so complex.
00:07:57.080 I know I wear masks when people say, you know, we'd really like you to wear a mask.
00:08:01.200 Okay.
00:08:02.620 It's your store.
00:08:03.940 Okay.
00:08:04.420 I don't agree with it, but okay.
00:08:08.540 Yeah.
00:08:08.920 I don't know.
00:08:09.440 I just don't understand why people just don't have faith in the American people at all.
00:08:14.800 We have to have a big babysitter.
00:08:16.940 Yeah, exactly.
00:08:17.700 I'm at the point now where the only reason I wear a mask is the same reason I wear a shirt.
00:08:21.580 It's like no one else is going to be happy around me if they see me without a shirt.
00:08:24.660 So I throw a shirt on, but I don't need to wear a shirt.
00:08:27.540 I can walk around without a shirt all day and be fine.
00:08:29.780 But I'm just doing this to please others at this point.
00:08:33.200 Yeah.
00:08:33.480 With, you know, the utility of the mask for us is long gone as COVID-19 survivors, Glenn.
00:08:40.820 And, you know, now we're at the point where the CDC is saying, hey, if you're immunized,
00:08:45.700 you don't need to be doing this at all.
00:08:47.980 Hey, but let me tell you something.
00:08:50.120 Listen, we follow this.
00:08:51.900 Let me quote Andrew Cuomo.
00:08:54.820 Hey, you know, we always follow the science here in New York.
00:09:03.920 Cuomo hasn't been in the news enough lately.
00:09:06.000 I have not heard enough from you and Andrew Cuomo lately.
00:09:09.180 Where's our music, Sarah?
00:09:10.460 Where's the music?
00:09:12.400 We've received newly revised guidance from the CDC regarding mask wearing and social distancing
00:09:19.920 for those with vaccines.
00:09:22.320 But we like to reveal them.
00:09:25.880 We're not sure it's time yet in New York, but we like to follow the science.
00:09:31.140 You know what I'm saying?
00:09:32.940 This is what's so frustrating to follow the science thing.
00:09:36.120 The science, right, did not change in the last two weeks.
00:09:41.180 The science, the CDC just came out with different recommendations two freaking weeks ago.
00:09:47.180 And they said you couldn't do half of these things.
00:09:49.580 And now they're saying that you can.
00:09:51.940 Now, of course, the science, the actual science was continuous the entire time,
00:09:56.640 which it made perfect sense if you're vaccinated to go do basically whatever you want.
00:10:00.440 We've said it on the air 50 times.
00:10:01.740 There's no reason to be restricting your activities and be worried about this at all if you've been vaccinated
00:10:09.020 or honestly if you've had the virus.
00:10:12.200 And yet they acted, even though the science didn't agree with this, that you still needed a mask outside,
00:10:18.620 that you still needed to do all these things post-vaccination.
00:10:21.580 None of this made any sense at any point.
00:10:23.560 The science never was on that side.
00:10:25.380 It didn't just switch in the last two weeks.
00:10:27.980 It's just these government agencies have come out and given their approval to what was already true.
00:10:34.640 And now we're all supposed to change our minds.
00:10:36.960 That's not following the science.
00:10:38.380 That's just following government authorities.
00:10:41.480 Bah!
00:10:43.540 Hey, Dave.
00:10:45.440 You think there's a problem with government authorities?
00:10:48.200 A little.
00:10:49.140 What you talking about?
00:10:50.440 Am I clowned to you?
00:10:51.960 Is that what's happening?
00:10:53.380 Bah!
00:10:53.820 Hey, toots, you look pretty hot this morning.
00:10:58.840 And I mean that in a purely botanical, botanical, botanical.
00:11:05.000 I mean we're just friends, not plants.
00:11:09.620 Bah!
00:11:10.940 Are you commenting on her fever then?
00:11:12.660 I don't understand what...
00:11:15.820 Hey, let me tell you something.
00:11:18.140 You know, it's like that guy on the radio, that stew guy.
00:11:24.960 Like he said, you know, nobody wants to see me without a shirt on.
00:11:29.040 That's why I fashioned two masks into a man bra.
00:11:33.820 You know what I'm saying?
00:11:35.840 I'm safe and sexy.
00:11:38.160 Bah!
00:11:38.340 Oh, no.
00:11:41.740 I'm now...
00:11:42.380 You know the internet is going to produce Andrew Cuomo in a two-mask man bra with his pierced nipple.
00:11:50.880 Yeah, you know, I did tear a little hole in the mask so I could put the nipples right out
00:11:58.120 and let the rings swing in the wind like God intended.
00:12:04.260 That's not what God intended, I promise you.
00:12:06.620 I will say, if you happen to be a person, maybe you're working from home and you have a few moments today,
00:12:18.160 at Studios America, at Glenn Beck, Twitter's open.
00:12:22.480 Feel free to post this Andrew Cuomo photo.
00:12:25.340 So, it's hot and sexy, you know what I'm saying?
00:12:30.120 Because the chicks dig me.
00:12:33.940 All right.
00:12:36.340 Yesterday, I spent about 90 minutes with Nikki Haley.
00:12:41.340 Holy cow, is she great.
00:12:42.720 I just love her.
00:12:44.660 She was so strong on the Republicans.
00:12:47.280 She's like, stop it.
00:12:49.040 The Republicans, get a clue.
00:12:51.600 You've got to step up.
00:12:53.120 And I said, what's the thing that could bring us all together?
00:12:56.080 She said, the Trump policies.
00:12:59.300 She said they were working.
00:13:00.980 We were energy independent.
00:13:02.480 The world was moving towards peace.
00:13:05.420 Look at what is happening.
00:13:07.520 China was in a cage.
00:13:10.960 And look what we are now.
00:13:14.660 She's like, we must just stand up for the Trump policies and stop being such wussies.
00:13:24.500 And when I asked her, I said, let's just talk about the pipeline and the ransom that was paid.
00:13:33.720 And Biden saying, you know, there's, there's, you know, it's a private industry.
00:13:38.800 They can pay the ransom or not.
00:13:40.460 I'm convinced that's a shark bump.
00:13:44.240 Sharks, when they come up to you, if you ever happen to be swimming with sharks, which I don't recommend.
00:13:49.760 But if you happen to be swimming, they're going to come up and bump you.
00:13:53.520 And the reason why they bump is because they want to see if you're food or not food reacts, you know, a driftwood doesn't.
00:14:04.020 So they come up and they bump you.
00:14:06.940 And if they bump you and you move, they eat you.
00:14:11.640 I'm convinced that the pipeline, it was not intended as a shark bump, but it is now a shark bump.
00:14:19.720 And we moved and they are going to eat us.
00:14:22.980 This is, this is like Beirut in the 1980s.
00:14:27.700 What was it?
00:14:28.060 1985.
00:14:29.000 And the radicals, Palestinians, I think, went in and they blew up the Marine barracks in, in Lebanon.
00:14:42.060 And all these Marines died.
00:14:44.460 Reagan was the president.
00:14:45.600 The advice to the president was don't do anything.
00:14:48.620 You'll only make it worse.
00:14:50.160 Just move on.
00:14:52.200 Well, we did.
00:14:53.580 And a little young guy named Osama bin Laden watched that and went, that little band of terrorists just made the most powerful military on earth move.
00:15:08.920 We can eat them.
00:15:11.100 I think that's what this pipeline was about.
00:15:14.060 And the reaction of Biden, I now understand.
00:15:18.800 I'll explain when we get with Bill O'Reilly in about half an hour.
00:15:23.680 Also, a clip of Nikki Haley on what keeps her up at night.
00:15:29.800 Holy cow.
00:15:31.020 Holy cow.
00:15:32.020 Now I'm going to be awake at night.
00:15:33.480 I'll play that clip for you coming up in just a second.
00:15:36.860 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
00:15:42.140 Our sponsor is American Financing.
00:15:46.020 Julie wrote in about a recent experience with American Financing.
00:15:49.740 She said, my husband and I heard about American Finance from your radio show, Mr. Beck.
00:15:54.940 I like that.
00:15:55.820 It's unlike Bill who just says, Beck, Mr. Beck.
00:16:00.280 With the low mortgage rates available, we decided to look in refining our 30-year mortgage into a 15-year mortgage.
00:16:07.960 We worked with Scott, who was amazing.
00:16:10.380 He called and was able to get us some figures over the phone.
00:16:13.360 We were hoping to get some cash out to pay off our other debt.
00:16:17.220 We appreciated his support.
00:16:18.660 Our rate would have been lower without the cash out, but Scott supported our decision and helped us get the very best rate for our situation.
00:16:27.680 He was transparent throughout the entire process, always keeping us informed in the next steps and quickly getting back with us when he had questions.
00:16:34.820 He not only worked well with his team, Katie and Laura, but also made us feel like it was our team.
00:16:40.840 The whole process took two months.
00:16:43.220 We've been recommending American Financing everywhere to everyone we know.
00:16:47.500 That's the kind of service you get from American Financing.
00:16:51.280 They work for you.
00:16:53.560 So call them now, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net.
00:17:02.920 American Financing NMLS, 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
00:17:10.180 10 seconds, Station ID now.
00:17:17.500 All right, let me play a little Nikki Haley, eh?
00:17:25.960 You know what I'm saying?
00:17:27.340 Here's Nikki Haley from the podcast that is available now to Blaze subscribers, and it comes out every Thursday for Blaze TV subscribers.
00:17:36.560 If you're not a subscriber, wherever you get your podcast, you'll be able to hear this on Saturday.
00:17:42.700 You are really going to like what she has to say and what she believes we should do and the trouble that is being caused by Joe Biden.
00:17:52.720 Here's what keeps her up at night.
00:17:54.380 Listen to this.
00:17:55.240 Somebody asked me, what keeps you up at night?
00:17:57.500 The thing that keeps me up at night is China.
00:17:59.820 And the reason that China keeps me up at night is just look at this scenario that they've given us.
00:18:08.060 When I was at the United Nations, my first year, they were what we knew of China, which was quiet.
00:18:15.320 They didn't want any public interaction.
00:18:17.300 They, you know, talked to things, you know, simply, no fanfare.
00:18:21.760 They didn't want anything.
00:18:22.920 Once President Xi made himself king, got rid of term limits, all of that changed.
00:18:29.640 Overnight, they started infiltrating the U.N., trying to become heads of different agencies.
00:18:34.720 They started putting their fingers in countries' faces, threatening to saying, you better vote with us or else.
00:18:41.060 They just got extremely aggressive, more vocal, all of that.
00:18:44.400 But they are now building up their military.
00:18:47.840 They have the largest naval fleet in the world.
00:18:49.480 They have more air defense systems.
00:18:51.040 They're modernizing their military.
00:18:52.780 We're not.
00:18:53.720 They continue to steal intellectual property.
00:18:56.440 President Trump was right to call them out on that.
00:18:58.620 It's only as good as if we follow up on it.
00:19:01.300 The human rights abuses, this isn't just another human rights abuse.
00:19:05.760 This is very telling.
00:19:07.440 Here you have a million Muslim Uyghurs in concentration camps, making them change their name, change their religion,
00:19:12.860 forcing them to drink, which is against their religion, sexual abuse, physical abuse.
00:19:18.580 We said that we would never again turn our eyes away from genocide.
00:19:24.580 What is happening there now?
00:19:26.660 It's the reason why I think we should boycott the Olympics.
00:19:28.940 When China did the last Olympics, it was very much known that China saw it as their coming out party.
00:19:35.660 When this Beijing Olympics happens, they are planning that this is going to be them showing the world that they are the new superpower of the world.
00:19:45.540 And you mark my words, after that Olympics, if everything goes smooth, they're going to take Taiwan.
00:19:50.780 And when they take Taiwan, it's over.
00:19:53.680 It's over.
00:19:54.480 What does that mean?
00:19:55.960 What does that mean?
00:19:56.800 It's over.
00:19:57.060 Because if they so they already tried it with Hong Kong to see if anybody was going to do anything.
00:20:02.500 And we didn't really do anything.
00:20:03.700 If they take Taiwan, then it's then it's not about their region anymore.
00:20:08.660 Then they're going to just go start taking other places.
00:20:11.720 Then you're going to start seeing them eat up other countries, even though they can't lay claim to them.
00:20:17.840 They will.
00:20:18.760 And that's the danger of it.
00:20:20.280 You know, then you go a step further.
00:20:21.660 They have, you know, invested in all of these little properties.
00:20:26.340 These are frivolous infrastructure projects that they're doing.
00:20:29.300 They do it in these little countries waiting for such a time as this when COVID hits, run up the debt.
00:20:35.060 And then they say, you can't pay it back.
00:20:37.240 Give us your military installation.
00:20:38.920 Give us your port.
00:20:40.300 Give us your utility.
00:20:42.180 Now you look at that map.
00:20:43.520 It'll send a chill up your spine.
00:20:45.060 But the one that I think is the worst, President Xi started a commission years ago that he personally chairs that says any company that does business in China has to cooperate with the Chinese military.
00:20:57.880 Now, think about our tech companies.
00:21:00.760 Think about the health data.
00:21:02.440 Think about our personal data.
00:21:03.700 Think about our families.
00:21:04.580 And think that the Chinese military has that.
00:21:07.540 This played out in real time during COVID.
00:21:11.040 When two American companies, 3M and Honeywell, producing PPE, China would not let them send it to us or any other country.
00:21:20.840 Instead, they bought it wholesale and said, we will only give it to countries who agree to do business with Huawei, our 5G network.
00:21:27.960 That is the country we're dealing with.
00:21:32.100 Okay, there's enough there to keep you up at night for the next decade.
00:21:37.540 Did you know that about the PPEs and the American companies that couldn't send it to us?
00:21:46.180 No, that's really bad.
00:21:47.620 I mean, considering, especially considering they basically started this entire thing.
00:21:51.340 Right.
00:21:51.980 Right.
00:21:52.240 Like, they should have been running to try to help everyone.
00:21:56.240 But they're not afraid.
00:21:58.260 In every way possible, but they don't care.
00:21:59.420 Yeah, her point is that they're not afraid, especially now with Joe Biden and his son in office.
00:22:05.960 They're not afraid of us.
00:22:07.880 And she's right.
00:22:09.940 If they go into Taiwan, which I think they will do, we're not going to do anything.
00:22:15.860 We wouldn't do anything under this administration.
00:22:18.440 If we don't do anything, they will begin to eat.
00:22:22.760 The world will be a smorgasbord for them.
00:22:27.140 Not good.
00:22:28.840 All right.
00:22:29.200 We're going to talk about dancing with an attorney next.
00:22:34.040 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:22:40.760 And let me tell you about Relief Factor.
00:22:42.960 David lives in Pennsylvania.
00:22:44.000 He found himself suffering from regular pain in both his shoulder and his foot.
00:22:48.080 He heard me talking early on about Relief Factor on the program, decided I'm going to give it a shot.
00:22:53.640 Sure enough, when he took it, the pain, he said, went away within a couple of weeks.
00:22:57.820 Now, most people would be satisfied, but most people aren't David.
00:23:02.680 About a month later, he decided, you know what?
00:23:06.200 I'm not sure this is what happens if I stop taking it.
00:23:09.880 He said the pain in the shoulder and the foot came back.
00:23:13.360 He started taking it again.
00:23:15.040 This is exactly what I did.
00:23:16.520 I was like, you know, I'm not sure.
00:23:18.960 Maybe I just feel better.
00:23:21.560 David got his life back twice, actually, with Relief Factor.
00:23:25.440 And so could you.
00:23:27.280 Relief Factor, it's not a drug, but developed by doctors.
00:23:29.660 And 70% of the people go on to order more after they've tried it, because after three weeks, you're going to know.
00:23:36.980 It either works or it doesn't.
00:23:38.960 70% of the people say it works.
00:23:41.860 ReliefFactor.com, 800-583-84, 800-583-84.

00:24:08.600 So I don't know if you've heard this amazing story from DC.
00:24:13.700 I'm sure you have.
00:24:14.760 It's, I mean, Kevin Bacon in Footloose, the DC band now on dancing at weddings.
00:24:23.500 Well, one bride said, I'm not, no, sorry.
00:24:27.480 I'm dancing at my wedding.
00:24:29.040 And there were, there were no exceptions.
00:24:31.800 I mean, not outside, not vaccinated, not double mask, nothing, no exceptions.
00:24:37.900 Well, when I say that, that's not entirely true.
00:24:40.940 I mean, there were, you know, you know, they were still going to allow dancing, you know, at Zumba classes and strip clubs.
00:24:53.040 You could also dance there.
00:24:54.920 So, but not at a wedding.
00:24:57.660 Well, the bride had enough.
00:24:59.740 She called the Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute and got herself an attorney.
00:25:07.100 And the attorney happens to be the director of the Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute.
00:25:11.940 His name is Theodore Frank.
00:25:14.520 Ted, welcome to the, may I call you Ted or do you prefer Theodore?
00:25:18.300 Please.
00:25:18.940 Ted is perfect.
00:25:19.640 Thank you.
00:25:20.400 Okay.
00:25:21.060 Pleasure to be here.
00:25:22.660 Thank you.
00:25:23.300 So, so tell me, go ahead.
00:25:26.860 No, I, I just want to give credit to my co-counsel, Adam Shulman and, and the folks at the Liberty Justice Center.
00:25:33.620 Okay.
00:25:34.520 So tell, so tell me, this is an incredible story to happen here in America.
00:25:40.100 I feel like it's, I don't know, 1950 or something.
00:25:44.780 Tell me about this.
00:25:46.940 I mean, you just had this really arbitrary decision by the mayor's office and, and we had a client who'd been vaccinated.
00:25:58.120 She'd been very careful throughout the pandemic.
00:26:01.040 Uh, she was sewing together masks when the CDC was still telling people don't wear masks.
00:26:08.560 Uh, and, and to, you know, she had the wedding set up.
00:26:14.740 She had limited the guest list to 70 to, to, to, to meet, um, social distancing requirements and capacity restrictions.
00:26:22.780 And, and, and to, to have the rug pulled out under her just a few weeks before her wedding upset her.
00:26:30.200 So, um, I would imagine, I would imagine it did.
00:26:34.400 And don't mess with a bride, uh, just a few weeks before her wedding.
00:26:38.400 Uh, so, so when you guys took the case, uh, there was, there were no exceptions.
00:26:45.960 No exceptions.
00:26:46.460 I mean, unless she was going to be in a strip club, right?
00:26:51.380 That's exactly right.
00:26:52.620 And, you know, somebody suggested to us, Hey, why, why don't you just hold the wedding there?
00:26:56.620 But, you know, this isn't just, uh, you know, can, can sneak onto the dance floor and start dancing, you know, the, the venue, you know, doesn't want to lose its license and, and, and, and, and, you know, and, and she had a contractual obligation to be, uh, following the venue's COVID restrictions.
00:27:16.660 So, uh, the only way to get out of this is, is, is, uh, to, to get the, the district of Columbia to, to remove its restrictions.
00:27:29.240 It's odd that they are doing it, that they did this now.
00:27:33.520 I mean, a year ago.
00:27:35.680 Okay.
00:27:36.740 But why now?
00:27:39.600 Well, I, I, you know, some of it was, um, you know, DC had completely shut down.
00:27:46.500 And so there, there, there weren't any venues until a few months ago.
00:27:51.000 And, uh, but what we've learned over the last year is, is that our public health bureaucracy doesn't really know what they're doing.
00:27:59.420 And they just come up with arbitrary restrictions that don't make sense.
00:28:06.680 And, you know, we, we've had all the, this, uh, hygiene theater, uh, about closing playgrounds down, even though outdoors is exactly where you want to be during a pandemic.
00:28:18.480 Um, and, and this is all very counterproductive to, to sort of say, it doesn't matter if you're vaccinated.
00:28:25.620 Uh, you know, you, you, you want to encourage people to be vaccinated.
00:28:30.800 That's how we get rid of this thing.
00:28:32.780 And, and, and to say, Oh, it doesn't matter if you're vaccinated.
00:28:35.440 It doesn't matter if your guests are vaccinated.
00:28:37.420 We still have to pretend like, uh, like you, you'd be a vaccinated bride and a vaccinated groom are going to spread cooties.
00:28:45.260 And it's just dumbfounding.
00:28:49.340 And, and so, uh, I, we were very, we're very privileged to, to get to bring this, this litigation.
00:28:56.860 And, and we hope that, uh, just the threat of litigation gets DC to back down.
00:29:02.720 Okay.
00:29:03.220 So they already have backed down.
00:29:05.460 They've made a, they've, they've given a press conference and said, where, you know, the things are changing.
00:29:11.540 We're not going to do that.
00:29:12.700 Um, but that's, that's really probably not good enough.
00:29:17.020 Is it?
00:29:18.820 That's the problem, right?
00:29:20.240 They've, they've given the press conference.
00:29:22.720 Uh, we're, we're looking for better written assurances.
00:29:26.820 Um, they, we'll, we'll see what DC does.
00:29:31.780 We're ready to, to file the motion for an injunction.
00:29:34.760 If, uh, DC does, isn't consistent with the press conference.
00:29:39.140 Of course, you know, a press conference isn't legally binding.
00:29:41.720 You can't take a press conference to the venue, but given that even the CDC, uh, has just opened
00:29:48.200 things up really dramatically, uh, in, in the last week, uh, in the last 24 hours, uh, we,
00:29:56.500 we expect DC to, to, to keep its word.
00:29:59.540 Um, and, um, uh, the embarrassment, uh, of, of, of just a really insane regulation.
00:30:07.940 I, I, I think, uh, and getting called out on it has, has, has gotten them to back down.
00:30:13.740 So Ted, I, I've, I'm, I used to, I used to believe in a lot of things, including the rule of law here.
00:30:20.900 Um, but I'm, I'm not so sure anymore.
00:30:23.780 What are the ramifications to the rest of us?
00:30:27.120 If this case is lost?
00:30:29.920 Oh, we're, we're not going to lose.
00:30:33.000 Uh, but, uh, you know, to the extent that, uh, government can impose arbitrary restrictions,
00:30:44.460 uh, on, on, on, on speech, that's obviously very, very bad.
00:30:50.100 Uh, but so what is it?
00:30:51.940 What are the, if you say we're not going to, you're not going to lose, what are the ramifications
00:30:56.080 for the rest of us when you win?
00:31:01.380 Well, I, I, I, I think it's, it's, it's, this is pretty straightforward black letter law
00:31:07.060 that you can't have these sorts of, that, that dancing is, is a component of expressive
00:31:12.200 speech and, and you can't have speech restrictions when, when there are, there are less restrictive
00:31:17.260 alternatives available, um, and that, that accomplish the same goals.
00:31:22.480 And so we, we have, we're, we're very confident that DC will either back down or that we will
00:31:31.680 win in court.
00:31:32.680 Uh, we're very confident that Margaret will get to dance at her wedding.
00:31:37.140 Uh, and, uh, and it's a good thing when, when, when you're in court.
00:31:42.200 And when courts are in enforcing the bill of rights, I have to tell you, I'm, I'm, I'm
00:31:47.600 glad that she is, uh, you know, uh, just for political purposes.
00:31:53.040 I'm glad she's not an anti-vaxxer and, you know, all of those things, cause it would have
00:31:57.740 been lost, uh, with all of that.
00:31:59.800 I'm glad she was somebody that was sewing masks to double up on the mask and following
00:32:04.040 all the rules.
00:32:05.200 Uh, and, uh, you know, and now is standing up against the insanity that is affecting all of
00:32:11.660 us.
00:32:11.840 Thank you so much, Ted.
00:32:12.740 I appreciate it.
00:32:14.300 Thanks for having us on the show.
00:32:16.280 You bet.
00:32:16.860 Bye-bye.
00:32:19.940 It's nuts.
00:32:22.720 Nuts.
00:32:24.320 Did you read the, did you see the tweet from President Biden last night?
00:32:29.000 The one where he just said, uh, yeah, I mean, the, the one thing you knew about, uh, President
00:32:43.220 Trump was he was in charge of his Twitter.
00:32:46.040 Yeah.
00:32:46.320 You know, he, he was, he was doing that.
00:32:48.800 Quite clear.
00:32:49.340 Um, yeah, but what is, uh, what's really not clear is who is tweeting for him.
00:32:55.980 So I, I think this was to some 20 something that just said, uh, the rule is, is now simple.
00:33:02.300 Get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do.
00:33:05.280 The choice is yours.
00:33:07.260 We're going to come out of the house and get you.
00:33:09.740 I mean, I think this was some 20 year old that was, you know, in charge of his Twitter
00:33:15.040 feed last night.
00:33:16.020 I can't, I couldn't believe the arrogance.
00:33:19.200 I couldn't believe the arrogance.
00:33:20.880 So many things that are, are, are infuriating about it.
00:33:23.600 Obviously, like, as we pointed out earlier, this is the United States of America.
00:33:27.580 You don't, the, the, the president has no constitutional power whatsoever to make rules
00:33:34.520 that would apply to us in this manner.
00:33:36.560 Uh, so even if you want to say, well, then the States should apply his guidance into laws.
00:33:41.960 Well, then it still wouldn't be the president of the United States doing this.
00:33:45.160 But beyond all of that, like he acts as if, come on guys, this is easy.
00:33:50.960 What the hell are you talking about?
00:33:52.060 You had different guidance two weeks ago.
00:33:54.760 You guys have changed your opinion on this 500,000 times.
00:33:58.960 It's not easy at all.
00:34:00.580 People, can't you understand why people would be totally, uh, out in the dark on this?
00:34:06.280 Why do you think they changed it?
00:34:08.900 I mean, because literally, uh, just a couple of weeks, we've been saying this since the
00:34:12.500 vaccine was out.
00:34:13.380 Yeah.
00:34:14.000 You should just tell everybody.
00:34:15.500 Yeah.
00:34:16.080 Yeah.
00:34:16.580 Get a vaccine and go back to work.
00:34:18.760 Take the mask off.
00:34:19.820 Yep.
00:34:19.960 And they didn't and didn't and didn't and didn't.
00:34:22.400 Uh, you know, Fauci was like, maybe next mother's day we'll be able to, you know, kiss
00:34:28.320 mom through the mask and maybe only one plate of glass.
00:34:33.360 Right.
00:34:33.840 Uh, you know, I mean, and now all of a sudden the CDC is like, nope, you're good.
00:34:39.340 You know, I hate the mask off.
00:34:40.820 I don't know what the reasoning is.
00:34:42.100 I mean, obviously, eventually this had to happen.
00:34:44.520 Right.
00:34:45.360 Uh, you know, there's people who've been saying for a while that like, oh, they're never going
00:34:48.420 to remove these restrictions.
00:34:49.880 I mean, I don't think that was ever real.
00:34:52.300 And I think that this is giving Biden being president gives blue states the opportunity
00:34:57.560 to take these restrictions off because before they couldn't admit that Trump had any success
00:35:02.340 or anything was positive.
00:35:04.160 So now that Biden's president, they can now take the masks off and claim like, oh, finally,
00:35:08.460 Biden's here to save the day.
00:35:09.980 I do think that like there has been over the past couple of weeks, seemingly legitimate pushback
00:35:16.560 from media members questioning them and hammering them on this point.
00:35:21.360 And it was, we've been doing it forever and they never listened when the media.
00:35:25.820 And I think it's because the media, they, those people in the media are now vaccinated
00:35:29.920 and they want to go back to doing, uh, you know, what they want to do.
00:35:34.320 I don't think anybody, I don't think anybody at CNN did.
00:35:37.120 I mean, Sanjay Gupta was like, I'm practically in tears last night.
00:35:43.300 It's our national nightmare.
00:35:45.120 I mean, can we take the mask off?
00:35:47.800 Should we take the mask off?
00:35:49.140 I, I can't wait to take the mask off, but I'm not sure if we can take it off.
00:35:53.480 There's all sorts of goblins in these people's heads about, about whether they can take it
00:35:57.280 off.
00:35:57.440 But I think like they don't want to be the victim of, of a shaming online when they're
00:36:01.780 seen outside without a mask on.
00:36:04.180 And so they want to be able, they have to be told, they've been totally telling you the
00:36:07.980 entire time you have to listen to science.
00:36:10.000 It's so easy.
00:36:10.700 Just listen to what the government says.
00:36:12.140 So they need the government to say that it's okay, even though they all know it's okay.
00:36:17.640 They need the government to tell them that they can, their lives can go on as normal.
00:36:22.660 Unlike a lot of people in red States who say, you know what, look, we've looked at this.
00:36:27.240 We've understood, we've understood this a lot better than we did March, 2020.
00:36:31.560 And we understand now look at, look at the science.
00:36:34.840 It clearly states that once you're vaccinated, you are in really good shape to go out with
00:36:40.020 almost no risk whatsoever.
00:36:42.600 So people are doing it and they're doing it all over the place.
00:36:45.860 And the media, I think knows they know this is nonsense.
00:36:49.520 And the CDC is being way too careful for God knows what reason they've admitted more or
00:36:55.940 less that it's because they don't want to change the culture yet.
00:36:59.080 They don't, they want mask culture to continue.
00:37:02.300 It's why Kamala Harris is posting pictures of herself on a zoom call with a mask on.
00:37:08.280 And, you know, look, I think they all know just like we all know that this is craziness.
00:37:14.480 Uh, and finally they're admitting it.
00:37:17.080 I don't know if it's the pressure there have been, there have been actual interviews of
00:37:20.620 people pushing back on them on this.
00:37:22.440 Maybe that's part of it.
00:37:23.360 Maybe it's just complete embarrassment.
00:37:25.900 Uh, I don't know.
00:37:27.100 Maybe the American people have shamed them successfully.
00:37:28.780 I don't even know what, I honestly don't even know why I asked you.
00:37:32.160 I'm sorry.
00:37:32.660 I, I asked a known grandmother killer, uh, for his advice on masks.
00:37:39.700 Uh, back in a minute.

00:39:12.900 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:39:14.520 It's Friday.
00:39:15.220 Bill O'Reilly's coming up in just a second.
00:39:17.180 A lot to talk to him about.
00:39:18.700 Uh, I, uh, I wanted to give you an update on the, uh, chicken shortage that we now have.
00:39:24.380 Uh, Tyson Foods has come out and, uh, explained the chicken shortage.
00:39:31.160 Uh, apparently the roosters are not doing their job.
00:39:38.280 I am not making this up.
00:39:40.780 The reason why America has a chicken shortage is because I, I don't know if it was, you know,
00:39:49.980 a diversity program where they decided, Hey, you know, some gay roosters need to be in here
00:39:57.360 or, you know, some non-binary roosters.
00:40:00.040 I don't know what it is, but the roosters, according to Tyson Foods, have not been doing their jobs.
00:40:07.580 Interesting.
00:40:08.260 They're just not it.
00:40:08.900 I mean, what is it?
00:40:09.560 Is it a, is it an appearance thing?
00:40:12.380 Is it, do we know what the, what the reasoning is?
00:40:16.900 I mean, bigger breasts than ever.
00:40:18.920 You'd think maybe they'd be, well, interesting.
00:40:22.400 They said that they're changing out the roosters, uh, because we made a bad decision on roosters.
00:40:31.800 Bad decision on roosters?
00:40:34.160 I've never, never in my life have I heard that.
00:40:37.540 What kind of roosters?
00:40:38.560 Like, no, I'm really not interested right now.
00:40:41.040 Okay.
00:40:41.780 I'm just not interested.
00:40:43.640 You know, fertilize your own eggs.
00:40:45.180 You know, maybe respect their way of life, Glenn, a little bit.
00:40:47.780 I'm sorry.
00:40:48.560 I mean, I'm sorry.
00:40:49.660 I mean, we're very diverse.
00:40:52.620 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:40:58.500 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:41:01.540 It's Friday, which means Bill O'Reilly is coming up next.
00:41:07.420 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:41:09.580 It's right, my friend.
00:41:11.420 Bill O'Reilly.
00:41:12.760 Megan lives in California.
00:41:14.520 She's a listener of ours.
00:41:15.440 She's in her mid-30s.
00:41:16.680 This horrible car accident left her with shooting pains down her neck and back got to be so bad that she was going to a chiropractor and an acupuncturist six times a week.
00:41:29.620 She heard about Relief Factor.
00:41:32.000 She decided to give it a try.
00:41:33.960 Within two days, within two days, she said her pain began to subside.
00:41:39.660 Within a few weeks, she was back to normal.
00:41:41.940 No more trips to the chiropractor.
00:41:43.560 No more trips to the acupuncturist.
00:41:46.220 Megan considers her discovery of Relief Factor to be nothing short of a miracle, and it shows in her life.
00:41:53.160 Megan, I have not been where you have been, but I've been in really bad pain, and living with pain like that is not something that you can handle for very long.
00:42:06.580 I am so glad that you tried Relief Factor.
00:42:08.880 I'm glad it worked for you.
00:42:10.640 She has her life back.
00:42:12.320 It works on inflammation, and I know.
00:42:14.820 Well, maybe I don't know.
00:42:15.840 I mean, for me, I've always thought, uh-huh, inflammation, ibuprofen, I'm going to take that, because it does nothing for me.
00:42:23.100 That's why I didn't think this would work, but it does.
00:42:25.860 Ask me.
00:42:26.520 Ask Megan.
00:42:28.500 Relief Factor.
00:42:29.820 ReliefFactor.com.
00:42:30.840 Try it for three weeks.
00:42:31.980 It's either going to work for you or not in the first three weeks.
00:42:34.820 So try it.
00:42:35.920 Three-week quick start, $19.99.
00:42:38.220 ReliefFactor.com.
00:42:39.320 800-583-84.
00:42:41.100 800-583-84.
00:42:42.640 It's ReliefFactor.com.
00:42:45.840 Oh, yeah.
00:42:52.380 We're just going to let Bill O'Reilly, you know.
00:42:57.280 Bill, you be you, boo.
00:42:59.200 And we're glad to have you on a Friday.
00:43:02.340 Tell me what you think the biggest story of the week was.
00:43:07.680 The pipeline, colonial panic, all of that.
00:43:12.100 That was that, because that is a harbinger word of the day, Stu, of what is to come.
00:43:20.180 What is to come?
00:43:22.040 You know, we always get tipped off in life, not just in the news, but in personal situations as well.
00:43:28.660 And many of us, including me, ignore warnings.
00:43:34.720 And don't do that, by the way, in any kind of medical thing.
00:43:37.700 If you see something that's not right and you know your own body, you go to the doctor right away.
00:43:43.480 All right.
00:43:44.000 You know, because that kind of thing gets out of control.
00:43:46.780 But in America, we had a warning in Texas, where you guys lived, in the winter, right?
00:43:54.800 Now we have a warning in the southeast of the United States.
00:43:59.860 The gas, this, that, and the other thing.
00:44:02.000 This is going to be serious, I think, because what the Biden administration has decided is that they are going to destroy, and I use that word literally, the fossil fuel industry in this country.
00:44:19.200 All right.
00:44:19.360 That's what they're going to do because of climate change.
00:44:24.140 Now, we did heavy research on BillOReilly.com this week about China, and China is building coal plants.
00:44:32.860 China pollutes the air more than any other Western industrial nation combined, combined, Beck.
00:44:40.380 And China's not going to stop doing that.
00:44:42.480 They're going to do it.
00:44:43.920 Biden's not going to convince them not to do it.
00:44:45.820 So while the Biden administration wants to harm the energy industry in the USA, ultimately, it's not going to do any good because China is going to pollute the hell out of the planet, no matter what.
00:44:59.000 Sure.
00:44:59.720 Well, they're going to stop at 2050.
00:45:02.400 They're going to stop in 2050.
00:45:04.400 Okay.
00:45:04.980 So I agree with you, but I think there are three things, and I would like to get your opinion on each of them.
00:45:10.120 The first thing is, the first point on this colonial pipeline deal, you've already said, you're absolutely right.
00:45:17.440 We are destroying the infrastructure, and this is only the beginning.
00:45:22.800 Two, I think this was an unintentional shark bump.
00:45:29.460 You know what a shark bump is.
00:45:31.600 Sharks bump into you to see if you're food, and if you move, they eat you.
00:45:37.380 And I think this was a shark bump that has told all of the sharks in the world, holy cow, America will move.
00:45:49.960 And the fact that this company paid the ransom, the United States government said this is a private thing, and they can pay the ransom or not.
00:46:01.980 But it's up to them, and they did nothing about it, I think was a signal to all of the sharks, all of the leaders around the world that hate our guts, all of the cyber terrorists.
00:46:15.680 Get them.
00:46:16.720 We can get them, and they'll do nothing.
00:46:20.280 Your thoughts on that, point number two.
00:46:22.100 All right, so there is a little-known law that was passed after 9-11, and the acronym for the law is AUMF.
00:46:34.420 A-U-M-F.
00:46:36.940 It allows the President of the United States to publicly or privately designate a group as a terrorist outfit.
00:46:47.320 Okay, so the hackers here are dark something, I forget what, dark what?
00:46:54.800 Dark, yeah, what was it, Stu?
00:46:58.380 I can't remember now.
00:46:59.580 Dark something, yes.
00:47:00.820 Dark chocolate, dark.
00:47:02.860 No, it was, I'll think of it, I'll think of it.
00:47:06.140 All right.
00:47:07.220 So, they identified themselves.
00:47:10.140 Dark side, yes.
00:47:11.320 They identified themselves as a foreign, as a foreign group that attacked the USA in a security way, because national security depends on energy.
00:47:26.240 So, all Biden had to do, if you could wake him up, which is not easy, is designate this dark crew as terrorists.
00:47:37.060 All right?
00:47:37.780 Officially.
00:47:39.060 They are.
00:47:39.640 Publicly, you could do it private.
00:47:41.480 All right?
00:47:42.400 Now, once that happens, the dark crew can be droned.
00:47:47.920 You can blow them up.
00:47:51.480 Or you can send in Delta Force or any of our special forces to shoot them in the head, which is what they did to Osama bin Laden.
00:48:05.040 Right.
00:48:05.440 Okay?
00:48:06.020 So, that's how you solve this problem, Beck.
00:48:09.640 And, of course, the companies themselves should be upgrading their security mechanisms.
00:48:14.300 But this is not a hard problem.
00:48:15.640 We have a mechanism for this.
00:48:17.800 Now, once the dark crew gets evaporated, I think that might stop some of this hacking.
00:48:25.480 So, do you think that we are doing that just silently?
00:48:30.000 And if not, why?
00:48:31.540 I do not think we're doing this, because I don't think Biden even knows this is available.
00:48:39.700 And people are going, oh, you're so unfair.
00:48:42.740 I gave Biden a chance.
00:48:44.900 I told all my listeners, the millions and millions of people who follow me, I'm going to give him a chance.
00:48:51.740 All right?
00:48:53.000 Well, I'll tell you what.
00:48:54.860 This guy's a disaster.
00:48:57.400 And I don't think it's around.
00:48:59.900 Okay, before we go any further on to other topics of disaster, because we've got them, do you agree that this will be interpreted by all of the cyber criminals, all of the sharks in the world that are after us?
00:49:16.640 We're going to see more of this now because of the way we reacted.
00:49:21.600 Whenever you give in to terrorists, they are emboldened.
00:49:27.580 Right.
00:49:28.020 Okay.
00:49:28.360 The third point I have, first one is Green New Deal.
00:49:33.480 It's only going to get worse.
00:49:34.840 Second one is shark bump.
00:49:37.300 It's only going to get worse.
00:49:38.360 And the third one struck me this morning when I saw why the company stopped the flow of oil.
00:49:46.900 It's not that they couldn't get the pipeline to work.
00:49:49.540 It was because they couldn't bill anyone.
00:49:53.020 They wouldn't know who to bill, what to bill them for, et cetera, et cetera.
00:49:57.500 Now, that is perfectly reasonable when you are dealing with enough oil to collapse your company.
00:50:04.740 You know, you can't just send all the gas out for free.
00:50:09.360 However, when I saw that story and the way it was written, the left is going to use this and say this was all caused because they worried about profit.
00:50:23.060 That's why we need to nationalize this infrastructure.
00:50:27.580 Agree or disagree?
00:50:29.840 I don't think the left is going to get involved with this.
00:50:33.060 This is not what they want to do.
00:50:34.880 They're more interested in the mass thing that you guys are talking about.
00:50:40.080 That's why you want to get into that.
00:50:41.400 But I don't think they're not going to get into that.
00:50:44.100 Right now, the progressive left has a president that they can manipulate in any way they want to manipulate.
00:50:51.580 Okay?
00:50:52.300 They haven't.
00:50:52.880 And but the problem with that is that his administration is going south so fast.
00:51:02.140 Once people are paying a buck a gallon more for gas, they notice.
00:51:06.680 They notice.
00:51:07.800 I mean, Bill, in my lifetime, Jimmy Carter stood alone.
00:51:16.920 Jimmy Carter is now wiping the sweat from his brow going, oh, finally, I'm not the worst president of everybody's lifetime.
00:51:25.440 I've never seen a country fall apart faster in almost every sector than we are falling apart right now.
00:51:37.240 Would you agree?
00:51:38.460 He's got fires on every front.
00:51:41.660 That's true.
00:51:42.420 But they're little fires now.
00:51:44.720 Let's in two months.
00:51:46.500 We'll see.
00:51:47.320 But, you know, a couple of weeks ago, Biden went down to see Jimmy.
00:51:51.100 Right.
00:51:52.200 Well, not many people know this, but Biden's first question was, hey, can you give me some advice on how I can wreck the economy quicker?
00:51:59.740 You did it so well, but I want to accelerate it.
00:52:03.820 So you got anything that you can tell me?
00:52:07.380 It's unbelievable.
00:52:08.260 And the only time I ever saw him without a mask in the last year was with a really old guy and his wife.
00:52:15.500 I mean, he's like, what are you doing?
00:52:17.300 It's so bizarre.
00:52:18.780 Okay.
00:52:19.020 So next big story you can pick or I'll I'll pick.
00:52:23.820 Which do you think was the next biggest story?
00:52:26.940 Well, you're smarter than me.
00:52:28.220 You pick that.
00:52:31.600 I think I think it would have to be Israel and the Middle East falling apart.
00:52:39.960 Okay.
00:52:40.580 Your thoughts on that.
00:52:41.420 So, yeah, yeah, of course.
00:52:45.340 So when Trump was president, he had deals.
00:52:49.640 That's what Trump does.
00:52:51.680 And he makes deals.
00:52:54.120 And the deals that he had were basically, you don't cause trouble.
00:53:01.260 Saudi Arabia, Israel, whatever country, Egypt.
00:53:06.680 You don't cause trouble and the United States will give you stuff.
00:53:11.960 It's almost like the Green New Deal or whatever.
00:53:15.740 And that worked.
00:53:17.300 He couldn't control Iran.
00:53:19.180 And that drove Trump crazy.
00:53:22.640 He couldn't get them into his orbit.
00:53:25.800 So Trump leaves and Biden comes in.
00:53:29.020 Everybody knows Biden is diminished.
00:53:32.060 Every foreign intelligence agency knows it.
00:53:35.140 Every foreign leader knows it.
00:53:37.520 They breathe a sigh of relief.
00:53:38.940 You got the strong man Trump out.
00:53:40.840 You got the weak man Biden in.
00:53:42.640 So right away in Israel, the homesteading thing pops up.
00:53:50.780 It hadn't popped up for four years.
00:53:53.700 But boom, right away, three months after the inauguration, it's the same story.
00:53:59.840 It's been going on for 40 years.
00:54:01.760 The Israelis want settlements for their people.
00:54:04.580 The Palestinians don't want the intrusion.
00:54:07.600 They're not going to work it out.
00:54:09.180 And Iran steps in, arming Hamas, shoot the rockets because Biden doesn't know what he's doing.
00:54:17.640 And nobody's going to hurt us when we do it.
00:54:20.240 That is the story.
00:54:22.160 Who do they think is running the country?
00:54:24.600 They know he's out of control.
00:54:26.240 I don't think he's he's not the guy getting up and saying, OK, here's what we're going to do today.
00:54:32.140 He's the guy getting up and they say, Mr. President, here's what you need to do today.
00:54:36.360 And don't answer these questions from the press.
00:54:39.180 So who's who do who do the leaders of the world think is actually running this country and who is actually running the country?
00:54:49.640 Yeah, there are two people inside the White House.
00:54:53.880 That have more power than anyone else.
00:54:56.560 So that's the equation.
00:54:58.220 Ron Klain, chief of staff, Susan Rice, top domestic advisor.
00:55:03.700 Now, I don't know if Biden listens to his secretary of state or secretary of defense.
00:55:11.380 I'm not privy to that information.
00:55:13.360 I don't know.
00:55:15.460 But I do know that Klain and Rice are doing exactly what you just said.
00:55:20.820 Mr. President, here's what we're going to do today.
00:55:23.880 Here's how we present this.
00:55:25.220 They're very respectful to him.
00:55:26.800 They're not pushing him around.
00:55:29.500 But he's not all that interested.
00:55:31.700 You look at his daily schedule and we give it out every night on the No Spin News on BillOReilly.com.
00:55:37.100 There's one or two things.
00:55:38.620 That's all that's on a schedule every single day.
00:55:42.740 All right.
00:55:44.580 Back with Bill O'Reilly.
00:55:45.480 We've got a couple of other really big stories, inflation, masks, the former military, the flag officers and their letter and their warning to America this week.
00:55:59.100 More with Bill O'Reilly in just a second.
00:56:01.440 And, by the way, before I go into this commercial break, Bill, I understand your book is number one.
00:56:07.300 Thanks to you, Beck.
00:56:09.080 Thanks to you, because you actually read it and liked it.
00:56:12.260 When Americans heard that Glenn Beck read the whole book.
00:56:15.480 Shut up.
00:56:16.840 Shut up.
00:56:18.840 Yeah, shut up.
00:56:20.840 Yeah.
00:56:21.300 That's what happened.
00:56:22.460 That's it.
00:56:22.960 All right.
00:56:23.700 Yeah.
00:56:24.000 Number one, Bill O'Reilly killing the mob.
00:56:26.400 More in just a second.
00:56:27.420 First, let me tell you about our commercial sponsor this half hour.
00:56:32.440 It is Hustler Turf.
00:56:34.420 There is something incredibly satisfying about mowing a lawn with a Hustler Turf zero-turn lawnmower.
00:56:42.520 It's a feeling of power just roaring beneath you like a bull about to charge.
00:56:48.920 It's maneuverability.
00:56:51.220 It is such a joy to mow your lawn.
00:56:57.500 I mean, it really is.
00:56:58.720 This thing is built, you know you have purchased something that you are not going to have to replace.
00:57:05.300 Probably it'll be the last lawnmower, I mean, until the new green deal comes in.
00:57:10.180 It'll be the last lawnmower that you buy in your life.
00:57:13.880 It really will.
00:57:15.120 It is just so great.
00:57:17.200 And there's something to me that when you buy something of quality that you know is built to last, it makes me very, very happy.
00:57:25.320 Right now, the latest and greatest from Hustler Turf is their new 2021 Raptor series.
00:57:31.800 It's built for homeowners with less than three acres.

00:57:43.940 You can cut it in 10 minutes.
00:57:46.460 These things just rock.
00:57:48.840 This one is made for your home.
00:57:50.880 If you have less than three acres, this is the one you want to see.
00:57:53.960 It's great.

00:58:09.940 It's HustlerTurf.com.
00:58:12.440 10 seconds.
00:58:13.120 Station ID.
00:58:13.600 So, Bill, you know, I read the flag officer's letters to the American people, and then I talked to one of the co-signers, Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin, who I'm sure you know.
00:58:41.280 And I spoke to him for about an hour a couple of days ago on the air.
00:58:45.000 And I think the next biggest story is what those flag officers said in that letter, that we are under attack and will lose the republic unless Americans stand up and fight this Marxism, this communism that is being spread throughout the world.
00:59:06.100 But especially in our country, by our own leaders.
00:59:10.980 Your thoughts on that letter?
00:59:12.680 Well, I think they're right in the sense that there is, for the first time since the 1950s, traction for the socialists in America.
00:59:26.040 And that is because the corporate media is so corrupt that it enables these people to run wild and just lie to the American public about race.
00:59:39.600 That's the spear point.
00:59:41.880 Race is a spear point because people of color are much poorer than whites.
00:59:47.220 We have to change the capitalistic system and we have to have equity and we have to have guaranteed outcomes, which, of course, is what socialism and communism and Marxism is.
00:59:59.840 All right.
01:00:00.200 Everybody's the same.
01:00:01.640 So this is traction.
01:00:03.100 These generals understand that I don't know how much they understand of it, but they understand that the corporate media is not standing up to that is encouraging it in in many areas.
01:00:16.360 And this is dangerous because people are easily led.
01:00:20.660 If you know history, you know, the Russian people were deceived by the communists.
01:00:27.100 The Nazis deceive the German people.
01:00:30.340 Mussolini deceive the Italian people.
01:00:32.720 Mao Zedong deceived the Chinese people.
01:00:35.820 It's all about deception.
01:00:37.960 And when you have a corporate media and we're talking AT&T, CNN, we're talking Comcast, NBC, we're talking Disney, ABC.
01:00:46.600 Those are powerful, powerful corporations.
01:00:49.580 When they are absolutely allowing this dishonest propaganda to saturate the country, you've got a problem.
01:01:02.720 So we have about a minute, less than a minute for you to answer this question.
01:01:07.060 Do you think that they are getting away with it as things continue to mount in the bad news category from the policies?
01:01:14.040 Aren't people starting to wake up and go, you know, this isn't too good?
01:01:18.780 Yes.
01:01:19.780 The answer to that is yes.
01:01:22.440 If there is economic pain between now and the midterm election, it is all over for the progressive movement.
01:01:30.980 OK, so that is it.
01:01:33.200 That's what's coming.
01:01:35.040 That's what people will respond to.
01:01:37.480 All right.
01:01:39.720 Back in just a second with Bill O'Reilly, the masks and the edict that the president issued last night, inflation and so much more with Bill O'Reilly.
01:01:53.380 Oh, by the way, Dave Rubin coming up next hour.
01:01:56.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:01:58.420 All right.
01:02:02.020 I want to talk to you a little bit about LifeLock.
01:02:04.080 Jeez, I wish the Colonial Pipeline had something like LifeLock, don't you?
01:02:09.480 Maybe they could have gotten their specialists on it.
01:02:13.340 Instead, I guess they look to Microsoft to solve their problems and, you know, to be protected by the United States government, which is oh so effective right now.
01:02:23.620 But Putin said it best.
01:02:25.480 We're in a war.
01:02:27.240 We're fighting it right now.
01:02:28.680 And this war, World War Three, he said, is a war of ones and zeros.
01:02:35.400 This will affect all of us.
01:02:37.880 And don't think that they're just going for the big guys.
01:02:40.260 They are going to destroy all of us.
01:02:43.460 They want the cyber criminals want what you have.
01:02:47.340 And by the way, they deserve it.
01:02:49.180 So take it.
01:02:50.060 LifeLock will help detect a wide range of identity threats.
01:02:54.240 If they detect your information has been compromised because nobody can watch at all, they will send you an alert and give you access to a dedicated restoration specialist if you become a victim.

01:03:13.260 All right.
01:03:13.500 It's the number one book in America, Killing the Mob, available from Bill O'Reilly.
01:03:16.960 We have more from Bill in just a moment.
01:03:19.260 Make sure to subscribe to Bill O'Reilly.com.
01:03:31.520 The next big story I want to talk to Bill O'Reilly about was a story that kind of broke yesterday.
01:03:37.200 CDC changed its mind on the science and now said, hey, you get a vaccination, you can drop the mask.
01:03:44.400 Then President Biden tweeted out the dictated the choice is simple, wear a mask or get vaccinated, which I thought was a little Mussolini like.
01:04:00.640 But maybe that's just me.
01:04:03.060 And now I think this story is going to turn into a revealing of those who found the masks as a religion or a or use the masks as a positioning statement.
01:04:18.120 And if you didn't wear a mask, it was a sign of a little yellow star and you not wearing a mask.
01:04:26.780 Well, they could side eye you.
01:04:28.080 They could immediately say, oh, well, that's a crazy conservative.
01:04:30.860 Now they take off the mask.
01:04:34.480 What does that say about them?
01:04:36.420 Bill, your comments on the mask situation with the CDC?
01:04:40.440 Well, it's all about power, and it is interesting to see how Americans respond to that.
01:04:50.920 So Republican traditional Americans want smaller government.
01:04:56.760 They want more self-reliance, personal self-reliance, and they want to run their show in the districts in which they live.
01:05:03.780 Right.
01:05:04.060 OK, so you couldn't do that with COVID because the massive amount of money that was needed to treat people with the disease dictated that the state and the feds had to take all that over.
01:05:22.160 And Republican traditional people did not like that.
01:05:26.660 So you always got to know where it starts.
01:05:29.060 Now, in my state, New York, Governor Cuomo tried to portray himself as the savior of lives because he knew what was best for everybody.
01:05:43.340 That collapsed because he made that tremendous mistake by ordering COVID-infected people to go into nursing homes, which, when you look at it, was probably one of the dumbest political mistakes in history.
01:05:57.140 Oh, my gosh.
01:05:58.160 Well, his credibility, his credibility was crushed.
01:06:03.100 Newsom did the same thing in California.
01:06:05.700 What these guys did was they wanted to set themselves up as the COVID dictators.
01:06:13.020 Uh-huh.
01:06:13.440 Now, Trump didn't buy into that because Trump knew that his base didn't like this.
01:06:20.520 They didn't want to be under a COVID dictator.
01:06:24.600 All right?
01:06:25.460 So Trump went the other way and had a laissez-faire attitude about the masks, even when he got COVID himself.
01:06:35.920 So that set up the battle.
01:06:38.660 Now, where we are is, thanks to Trump, and then I know this personally, thanks to Trump, because he paid the pharmaceutical company so much government money to get this vaccine.
01:06:53.240 All right?
01:06:54.100 The vaccine has pretty much neutralized the pandemic.
01:06:58.580 So now the question becomes, how do we live?
01:07:03.980 Well, I'm back, and I'm not going to wear the mask.
01:07:09.320 I'm not.
01:07:10.020 But I'm also not going to go into groups of people that I don't know.
01:07:15.240 I might go to a game.
01:07:17.060 And if I go to the game, I'm going to bring the mask with me just in case somebody with leprosy sits next to me.
01:07:23.520 You know what I'm talking about?
01:07:25.080 Yeah.
01:07:25.380 Yeah, yeah.
01:07:25.800 But you were living in New York, where Andrew Cuomo has been preaching, follow the science.
01:07:34.860 And then CDC came out and said, you can stop wearing the mask.
01:07:39.120 And he said yesterday, well, we're going to talk about that.
01:07:43.020 We're not so sure we're ready to do that yet.
01:07:45.920 Yeah.
01:07:46.140 I mean, where's the follow the science?
01:07:47.960 There isn't any, Bob.
01:07:50.680 There never was.
01:07:52.120 I know.
01:07:52.720 There never was a follow the science.
01:07:54.440 I know that.
01:07:55.380 Because here's why there never was any follow the science.
01:07:59.400 Anthony Fauci's the science.
01:08:01.820 And every day he changes his mind.
01:08:03.860 Every day.
01:08:04.380 It depends what show he's on.
01:08:05.980 I know.
01:08:06.740 So if he's on Family Feud, he's saying something different than if he's on with Oprah.
01:08:12.120 All right?
01:08:12.600 So he's the science.
01:08:14.280 This is the guy.
01:08:15.180 It's not like we're all sitting in a classroom and, well, you know, here it is.
01:08:19.900 No, it's Anthony Fauci.
01:08:22.180 That's who the corporate media selected to be the science.
01:08:28.200 And every day it changes.
01:08:31.680 I mean, that's how crazy this is.
01:08:35.320 So I say to people all the time.
01:08:37.860 Go ahead.
01:08:38.340 Go ahead.
01:08:39.960 I say to people all the time.
01:08:41.520 I got vaccinated to protect my family, to protect myself, so I don't get sick, and I can be effective in helping other people.
01:08:52.440 That was my decision.
01:08:54.020 I didn't have any side effects.
01:08:57.740 And if you're asking my advice, I say get vaccinated.
01:09:02.700 But I think this thing is going to be over in two months, and everybody will be pretty much back to normal.
01:09:08.900 All right.
01:09:10.680 I want to spend 60 seconds and no longer on this.
01:09:13.500 The two things that came out of New York City.
01:09:16.520 Andrew Yang, who is running for mayor of New York City, is far, far left, but he's at least an understandable guy.
01:09:28.540 He's not a communist.
01:09:30.140 He said in a tweet, the people of New York City will always stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel who face down terrorism and persevere.
01:09:42.600 He was hammered by the left in New York.
01:09:47.740 There's one other story.
01:09:48.720 He's running against a guy who, when asked about what's the median home price in Brooklyn, he said, I think it's about $100,000, maybe less, maybe a little more.
01:10:07.080 Yeah, it's a little more.
01:10:08.160 It's the average.
01:10:09.280 The median price is $900,000.
01:10:12.980 So the guy is completely out of touch.
01:10:15.640 Who's going to win?
01:10:19.140 Who's going to win?
01:10:20.700 I think I'm going to win on a ride-in.
01:10:23.920 I think I'm going to take it.
01:10:26.140 And now that killing the mob is number one, my status is really up.
01:10:30.800 So I'm telling everybody right now.
01:10:32.980 I'll be mayor.
01:10:34.200 Look, I can clean that city up.
01:10:36.640 I could.
01:10:37.680 All right?
01:10:38.160 Because I would ignore the city council.
01:10:40.960 They wouldn't even be allowed to talk to me.
01:10:44.180 I'd sit down with the cops, and I'd sit down with the unions, and I'd say, here's what's going to happen.
01:10:50.100 But I would also, I'd get their input.
01:10:53.180 But people around the country have no idea what a disaster New York City is.
01:11:01.200 Oh, my gosh.
01:11:02.040 I mean, I was born in Manhattan, and I was raised in Levittown, as you guys know.
01:11:07.980 And I know this city as well as any human being on the earth.
01:11:12.480 My jaw drops.
01:11:14.900 I think we're in Managua, Nicaragua up here.
01:11:18.380 That's how chaotic this city is.
01:11:21.360 And they walk around.
01:11:22.440 These politicians walk around going, well, you know, I don't really see a problem here.
01:11:27.620 Meanwhile, there are rats the size of Godzilla, you know, walking at the pizza park.
01:11:34.180 All right.
01:11:35.700 All right.
01:11:36.520 Okay.
01:11:37.080 Let me just get your quick thoughts on a couple of other stories.
01:11:40.200 Yeah.
01:11:41.260 Lynn Cheney.
01:11:43.000 I think this has been a massive distraction.
01:11:46.900 They have a right to vote in or out.
01:11:49.000 Whoever they want is leadership.
01:11:50.140 But they've the Republicans are going to lose if they make this one way or another about Donald Trump.
01:12:00.020 They've got to shut up and talk about the things that people are talking about.
01:12:06.220 And that is the repeal of all of his policies that are destroying us.
01:12:11.460 Well, Liz Cheney hates Trump, and that has led to her hurting herself.
01:12:21.880 She's not going to win re-election in a while.
01:12:24.900 She's not going to win.
01:12:27.740 And we got it, Liz.
01:12:30.020 You know, we got it.
01:12:31.000 You don't like them.
01:12:32.440 Okay.
01:12:32.720 We understand the first vote in February, Republicans in the House did not take any action against her.
01:12:40.100 They voted not to.
01:12:42.020 But every single day, every way, you just got to bring him back.
01:12:47.920 It's insane.
01:12:49.320 So that's why she got hurt.
01:12:51.760 And you're absolutely right.
01:12:53.120 If the Republican Party wants to assume power in this country, it has to stop with the cult of Trump and talk about his policies, not him.
01:13:04.600 Not him.
01:13:05.340 What he did, what he accomplished, how the country was better under those policies than this Biden stuff.
01:13:14.940 It's not that complicated.
01:13:16.960 Americans will get that.
01:13:18.540 But if it's still going to be Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, then the Republicans are going to hurt themselves.
01:13:23.820 All right.
01:13:26.100 One last thing.
01:13:26.760 A big story was the rate of inflation that came out.
01:13:31.080 We are now at 4.2 percent inflation rate, which is double the Fed's rate.
01:13:36.880 However, if you look at the the producer price index, which is the it is a leading indicator of the inflation to come.
01:13:47.980 It's what people who are building cars have to pay for plastic and steel and chips and everything else.
01:13:53.700 Yeah.
01:13:53.880 And then then they have to pass that on to the consumer.
01:13:57.780 That PPI is now running at 22 percent inflation.
01:14:05.100 What what number of inflation do you think it has to hit before people say, OK, enough?
01:14:12.700 Well, we're almost there now, because once you raise the price of gasoline that fast and that hard, that means all the trucks have to pay, you know, all the gas prices.
01:14:26.240 And as you just said, they pass it on to consumer trucks are they move everything, everything.
01:14:32.460 So you want to have supper.
01:14:34.260 You're going to pay more for your supper.
01:14:35.880 I will announce that I'm not raising the price of killing the mob.
01:14:40.100 That's going to be good.
01:14:41.620 It's good.
01:14:42.140 But is this isn't this will America say enough of these policies or have we trained enough Americans to say, I'd like more, please?
01:14:57.120 I think Americans are going to throw out the progressives in the 2020 2022 election.
01:15:03.820 I believe they will.
01:15:05.700 Now, are states like California and New York going to be sane again?
01:15:10.740 No.
01:15:11.060 No, because their grip on power in those places is much more intense than it is in most other parts of America.
01:15:19.980 But even in California, Newsom may survive, but he's about 45 percent of people are going to vote to boot him out.
01:15:26.300 And Cuomo is not going to be able to run again in New York.
01:15:30.320 So people are wising up.
01:15:32.080 It takes a long time because they are addicted to the devices and they're being misled by the corporate media, as we've talked about.
01:15:38.760 Bill O'Reilly, the number one book in America on its first week of release, Bill O'Reilly, Killing the Mob.
01:15:49.600 It's available everywhere and it is a fantastic can't put it down sort of read.
01:15:54.400 Bill, thank you so much.
01:15:56.580 All right, I just want to say one more thing that I really appreciate everybody listening to us every week.
01:16:02.460 It's a lot of fun to do this.
01:16:04.400 And if we weren't for Beck, I don't think I would be number one in the New York Times list.
01:16:08.920 And I'm saying that.
01:16:09.760 Stop it.
01:16:10.720 Truthfully.
01:16:11.460 No, I'm saying it.
01:16:12.480 Truthfully.
01:16:12.920 I watched when we did that Tuesday thing on the mob.
01:16:16.520 Okay.
01:16:17.100 The thing spiked on Amazon.
01:16:19.340 It just went boom.
01:16:20.400 And you know what the best part is?
01:16:21.900 We beat Oprah.
01:16:23.440 We beat Oprah.
01:16:24.560 You and me.
01:16:26.840 Beat her.
01:16:28.120 I love it.
01:16:29.240 I love it.
01:16:29.900 Bill, thank you so much.
01:16:31.200 God bless.
01:16:32.240 All right.
01:16:32.760 You bet.
01:16:34.900 If you both beat her together, I guess he's cutting you in on the royalties then?
01:16:39.780 Is that how does that work exactly?
01:16:41.180 I don't think so.
01:16:42.360 One of the things you learn when you have a dog is just how much of a give and take relationship it really is.
01:16:48.300 And they give much more than we do, I think.
01:16:51.880 I think we're on the taking end of many times with our dogs.
01:16:55.040 I mean, if you have a really nasty dog, you're probably on the plus side there.
01:17:01.280 My dog is just so great.
01:17:04.460 Has, you know, keeps us safe.
01:17:06.880 Keeps us happy.
01:17:08.140 When there's problems with the troubles that we've had in the last year, you know, he comes up and he's just our best friend and consoles us.
01:17:18.720 We want to take care of him.
01:17:20.520 We started feeding him, putting minerals and vitamins and probiotics, things that he needs to be healthy on his food.
01:17:29.900 About a year ago, it's called rough greens.
01:17:33.120 I, I hoped that it would just make him want to eat his food because we had a hard time getting him to eat.
01:17:39.620 Not only has it done that, it has changed him.
01:17:43.520 I was shocked at how much my dog has changed.
01:17:47.080 He gets up.
01:17:48.100 He was up this morning with me at, you know, five o'clock in the morning, wagging his tail, looking at me like, hey, hey.
01:17:53.080 I mean, he's always got the ball in his mouth like he's a three-year-old dog.
01:17:57.500 He's a nine-year-old German shepherd and he is running around like he's a kid.
01:18:02.220 Rough greens.

01:18:43.000 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:18:45.340 We have Dave Rubin in studio.
01:18:48.580 I'm excited to excited to talk to Dave coming up in about five minutes,
01:18:52.680 especially since he's coming out of the socialist state of California,
01:18:59.060 where, I mean, he's been talking about the difference between masks
01:19:06.440 and the difference of attitude between California, New York,
01:19:11.580 and the rest of the country.
01:19:13.500 And it's the first time he came out to New York,
01:19:16.520 first time he was allowed to leave California, he couldn't believe it.
01:19:20.260 It was like he had been living in a space suit for a year.
01:19:25.960 It's really bizarre.
01:19:27.240 I was talking to Nikki Haley.
01:19:28.460 By the way, you've got to listen to the Nikki Haley podcast.
01:19:33.700 Holy cow, will your eyes be opened.
01:19:37.400 Nikki Haley, the podcast, it's available now if you're a Blaze subscriber
01:19:41.220 at blazetv.com slash Glenn.
01:19:43.340 Or you can find it on YouTube, on Glenn Beck's YouTube channel,
01:19:49.020 youtube.com slash Glenn Beck.
01:19:52.560 But we are a country, as she said yesterday,
01:19:59.080 I think this was in the podcast.
01:20:00.360 She said, I've been traveling the country,
01:20:02.160 and she said, it's, it's, it's, it's two different planets.
01:20:07.220 Texas and California, two entirely different planets.
01:20:11.960 We're not even the same country anymore.
01:20:14.460 We'll talk to Dave Rubin about that next.
01:20:17.420 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:20:19.620 Oh, Dave Rubin is in studio with us,
01:20:25.800 and there couldn't be a better week for him to come by
01:20:30.880 to comment on the insanity that is California.
01:20:36.580 We begin there in 60 seconds.
01:20:39.340 Dave Rubin joins us.
01:20:40.760 It's Friday.
01:20:42.540 The Glenn Beck program.
01:20:44.980 Oh my gosh.
01:20:46.180 Okay, let me tell you quickly about Car Shield.
01:20:48.280 Look, you know that people are paying now $5,000.
01:20:53.000 They're willing to pay $5,000 more for a car
01:20:57.640 just to be able to get the car.
01:20:59.940 And that is because there's a shortage of cars.
01:21:03.520 And the Ford just came out and said,
01:21:05.840 they're not going to be able to fulfill the line this,
01:21:08.740 this quarter because of the shortage of silicon
01:21:12.580 and the chips that go into the car.
01:21:14.920 Okay, that's good.
01:21:15.900 So that's driving the price of cars up.
01:21:17.800 People are already paying $5,000 extra just to get the car.
01:21:24.320 What do you think is going to happen when your car breaks down
01:21:27.560 and it's a chip?
01:21:29.240 What do you think that's going to cost?
01:21:30.700 I know what they cost now and I don't want a chip to go wrong in my car
01:21:37.380 if it's not covered.
01:21:38.940 You need coverage.
01:21:40.400 Now, if your car is out of warranty,
01:21:42.780 look, what's going to happen is they will total your car
01:21:46.080 and then you'll have to go out and buy a replacement.
01:21:49.320 And how much is your car worth?
01:21:50.780 Have you noticed the price that they're giving you
01:21:54.140 when you try to trade your car in?
01:21:57.020 So what is it going to cost you?
01:21:58.720 What are they going to give you for that car?
01:22:00.640 It's so much better to be covered with CarShield
01:22:03.060 and just let them pay the price of the repair,
01:22:06.660 especially with the chips.
01:22:08.480 You will save money.
01:22:10.000 It's an insurance policy against, honestly,
01:22:13.040 against this runaway inflation.

01:22:27.460 Mr. Dave Rubin from the Rubin Report
01:22:30.960 and the author of Don't Burn This Book.
01:22:34.040 Welcome to the program, Dave.
01:22:35.760 How are you?
01:22:36.520 I'm good.
01:22:37.240 It's good to see you guys.
01:22:38.620 It's good to be here in the free state of Texas,
01:22:41.900 in the free city of Dallas.
01:22:44.560 When are you just going to pull the trigger
01:22:46.980 and come to paradise?
01:22:50.220 Glenn, you know, I'm a glutton for punishment.
01:22:53.160 I lasted in the left for a long time.
01:22:55.440 I was part of the machine.
01:22:57.180 And I have a high tolerance for insanity.
01:22:59.220 And I think that that has kept me there longer than I should be.
01:23:03.560 I mean, trust me, every piece of me wants to move at this.
01:23:06.900 Look, there's two reasons, basically, you stay in L.A.
01:23:10.160 One, obviously, is the weather.
01:23:12.160 And then the previous piece in Los Angeles, in SoCal,
01:23:15.180 was that Hollywood and the business
01:23:17.820 that we're all sort of ancillarily in,
01:23:20.480 if you're in politics and media, that was there.
01:23:22.780 Well, that has completely collapsed.
01:23:24.680 Now, the weather is still nice, but it's not enough.
01:23:28.660 And I'm trying to figure out what to do.
01:23:30.900 But, you know, like you, I own a couple of businesses,
01:23:32.900 and it's not just me picking up and leaving tomorrow.
01:23:35.460 It takes a lot of different things.
01:23:37.700 So we're talking about it because it's depressing there.
01:23:41.260 It's depressing.
01:23:41.980 It's sort of, it's not as bad as New York City.
01:23:43.980 I heard you and Bill O'Reilly a few minutes ago,
01:23:46.160 and New York City is just beyond, it's dystopian at this point.
01:23:50.260 But L.A. has some level of zombie apocalypse to it.
01:23:53.360 In five years, if they continue down this path,
01:23:57.040 it really could be escape from New York.
01:23:59.220 Yeah.
01:23:59.880 I mean, it's.
01:24:00.440 Yeah, I was in, I lived for most of my adult life in Manhattan.
01:24:04.180 So I, as Bill was saying, you know, it's like, I know Manhattan.
01:24:08.120 I love Manhattan.
01:24:09.180 To be in Midtown was scary.
01:24:11.900 It was legitimately scary because every, first off, you know,
01:24:14.360 everyone's got the mask.
01:24:15.740 Everyone's walking alone because no one's going anywhere.
01:24:18.220 You know, like they're doing little errands maybe,
01:24:20.140 but no one's going out anywhere really.
01:24:22.040 So everyone's alone with the mask kind of head down.
01:24:25.080 There's, you know, you got barricades all over the place,
01:24:28.500 cops all over the place.
01:24:29.620 It's dirty.
01:24:30.500 You know, things are boarded up.
01:24:32.200 That is not New York City.
01:24:33.580 The greatest city in the entire world in the history of the world.
01:24:37.340 I mean, the cultural capital of the world, man.
01:24:40.500 Not now.
01:24:41.500 Yeah.
01:24:41.760 And LA.
01:24:42.480 And you know what they're saying there?
01:24:43.940 They're saying they're opening up Broadway and everything else.
01:24:46.620 But I honestly don't know if New Yorkers are going to be able to deal with it.
01:24:51.340 There is such an identity with the mask and isolation.
01:24:55.840 It has become, it really has, I think, become a religion for so many people.
01:25:01.000 I mean, it's why Cuomo has been saying, we got to follow the science, got to follow the science.
01:25:05.220 And then what does he do?
01:25:06.900 See a CDC comes out and says, okay, get vaccinated.
01:25:10.500 Don't don't wear a mask.
01:25:11.700 And he says, well, well, well, well, we're not ready for that yet.
01:25:15.140 Yeah.
01:25:15.340 I don't think, I don't think it's hyperbolic.
01:25:17.220 I don't think it's hyperbolic at this point to say there was virtually no science behind any of this, that the lockdowns did absolutely nothing.
01:25:24.700 I mean, we know that.
01:25:25.680 We absolutely know that the lockdowns did nothing.
01:25:27.680 They have inflicted a psychological condition on people to now make us afraid of each other, to make us turn on each other.
01:25:36.820 And what I'm afraid is, what have they seeded us with?
01:25:39.300 What is next?
01:25:40.180 What did they just do to us that they could make us do things that are unimaginable, you know, months or years from now?
01:25:46.440 So I said this last hour, and there's probably a much better analogy, but the absence of a mask on somebody has become almost like a yellow star.
01:26:00.940 So many people on the liberal side see the mask as a sign that you're part of the party.
01:26:08.320 And when you're not wearing a mask, you're a problem.
01:26:13.440 And they've been shaming us.
01:26:16.400 They've been side-eyeing us, speaking out, calling us names.
01:26:21.460 How do they remove that mask?
01:26:23.640 Because it has become part of the identity of the party.
01:26:27.940 Well, Glenn, that goes directly to the danger that they've been doing for years now, which was calling us all racists and bigots and Nazis.
01:26:35.280 And I know that you personally, you, Glenn, you've gotten into hot water from the lefty media at times for making the Nazi analogy.
01:26:41.680 And I completely agree with you on this.
01:26:44.320 They are, when you make the Nazi analogy, I mean, the irony is these are the people who call all of us Nazis.
01:26:48.940 But the Nazis didn't just show up one day.
01:26:51.800 It didn't just show up one day.
01:26:54.320 Yes, it is a process of othering people, saying the worst things about people.
01:26:59.280 And now it's not just that our political views are odious and should be silenced and kicked off big tech and everything else.
01:27:05.520 It's that we are literally killing people by not wearing masks, by not bowing to these people.
01:27:11.420 And who is who's actually the ones that are instigating the hate?
01:27:17.300 It's it's them.
01:27:18.440 You want to wear a mask, wear a mask.
01:27:20.020 You want to get vaccinated, get vaccinated.
01:27:21.800 That's all on you.
01:27:23.300 Live your life.
01:27:24.160 And you can be pro vaccination and be vaccinated and pro mask and still have that point of view.
01:27:33.040 Sure.
01:27:33.640 I mean, sure.
01:27:34.260 But I don't think so.
01:27:35.520 Well, because that's because we respect individual rights.
01:27:38.480 We respect freedom and liberty.
01:27:39.680 And what they respect is power and control.
01:27:42.780 But I think you're making a good point.
01:27:45.000 You know, this is one of those people get very upset when people make any sort of Nazi reference or Holocaust reference coming, say, from our side, even though they do it all the time.
01:27:53.320 But, yes, at some point it becomes you've othered people into they're not even people anymore.
01:28:00.220 And what do you do with those not people?
01:28:03.360 So I, you know, I was going to talk to you about this later if we had time.
01:28:07.820 But since we're talking about this, I am so sick and tired of being called a Nazi.
01:28:12.320 I'm so sick and tired of becoming being called an anti-Semite by the left when the tweets about the the attack on Jerusalem.
01:28:22.820 I mean, I read this yesterday.
01:28:25.220 I don't know if you saw this, but a Muslim actress, she and I'm quoting.
01:28:32.040 This is what she tweeted.
01:28:34.800 I would have killed all the Jews of the world, but I kept some to show the world why I killed them.
01:28:42.080 Adolf Hitler.
01:28:44.660 Who's the Nazi here?
01:28:46.500 Yeah, this is a anti-Semite blue check person on Twitter.
01:28:50.180 You're allowed to do it.
01:28:51.240 You know, Trump's not allowed to be on Twitter.
01:28:53.140 Yeah.
01:28:53.300 I mean, the amount of crazy hate that I'm seeing on Twitter is off the charts.
01:28:56.360 Look, you know, Glenn, first off, the idea that you would be called this, you've been such an incredible friend to the Jewish people, to Israel, to truth and history and all of those things.
01:29:06.840 But what's happening is, you know, we've been in a nonstop war on reality that has morphed into a full on war on truth.
01:29:14.120 Nobody understands history.
01:29:15.780 Nobody understands geography.
01:29:17.780 You know, if you listen to the way the mainstream media talks about it, they seem like they're talking about this massive, ever expanding country.
01:29:24.560 Israel.
01:29:25.160 I mean, you've been there many times.
01:29:26.360 It's the size of New Jersey that at some point without the West Bank is about six miles wide.
01:29:31.400 You can drive across it in a couple hours north to south.
01:29:34.320 You could drive several times in a day.
01:29:36.180 It's obscenely tiny.
01:29:38.460 There is one tiny little nation state for the Jews.
01:29:42.200 There are many states that are Christian dominated, many states that are Muslim dominated.
01:29:46.720 And this is just the never ending battle for the Jews have a 5000 year brutal history and somehow have stuck around.
01:29:54.060 So I know the Israelis will stick around and I know they're smart enough to stick around and have the will to live.
01:29:59.140 But watching the left just completely become everything.
01:30:02.720 I've been saying it is and the vile stuff from Omar and Tlaib and these these people.
01:30:08.180 It's incredible.
01:30:08.880 That's why I love talking to you, Dave, because I could have a plan for a conversation, but it always goes off the rails because you're so fascinating.
01:30:16.240 Let me let me let me ask you this.
01:30:18.780 As I was thinking about it, you're you're you're an agnostic, right?
01:30:23.740 No, I wouldn't say I'm agnostic anymore.
01:30:25.800 No, I'm a believer.
01:30:27.020 I'm a believer.
01:30:27.920 I'll tell you something.
01:30:28.720 Did you see?
01:30:29.320 Wow.
01:30:29.500 Did you happen to see a clip that was viral about a week or two ago with Jordan Peterson on Tucker Carlson's Fox Nation show?
01:30:37.180 Did you happen to see it?
01:30:37.980 Yeah, that was great.
01:30:38.680 No.
01:30:38.920 So there's there's an incredible clip.
01:30:40.660 Maybe your guys could pull it up if we could snag the audio if possible.
01:30:43.860 But basically what Jordan says, and I think it's the best explanation of faith that I have heard that that makes sense to me.
01:30:51.200 He said that when he was 25 years old, he started telling the truth because he started to believe that the truth, no matter the cost, would be better than any alternative.
01:31:01.300 Meaning that if you say the truth for truth's sake, that that no matter it doesn't mean good things are going to happen, but it will be the best option no matter what the lie you put out there is.
01:31:11.280 And then what he went on to say was, and this is this is the key part.
01:31:14.520 He said that doing that, believing in truth for truth's sake and not going along with the lie, that that is the ultimate expression of faith, because that is taking a leap of faith for truth.
01:31:27.280 And yes, and I've heard him say some version of that many times.
01:31:30.040 Obviously, I was on tour with him for a year and a half, but I thought the succinct way and hopefully I gave it some slight justice there.
01:31:36.100 That makes sense to me.
01:31:37.640 Truth for truth's sake, no matter what.
01:31:39.540 And that is faith.
01:31:41.960 That is faith.
01:31:43.820 I think you're exactly right.
01:31:45.980 I think he was right.
01:31:46.860 Let's play the clip real quick.
01:31:48.620 You make your decisions in life.
01:31:50.480 And I decided when I was very young, I'm in my mid-20s, that I was going to say what I believed and see what happened.
01:31:56.620 I talked to you earlier in the talk about adventure, you know, about the adventure of truth.
01:32:02.020 And I don't think I'm happy about what has happened.
01:32:05.720 And I certainly have dragged my family through their fair share of, well, both hell and also incomprehensible opportunity.
01:32:13.760 It's expanded our lives in both directions to a tremendous degree.
01:32:17.520 But it's certainly been an adventure.
01:32:20.220 It's not been dull.
01:32:21.620 And I don't believe that it was a mistake.
01:32:26.580 Whatever happens as a consequence of telling the truth is the best thing that can happen.
01:32:31.980 It doesn't really matter how it looks to you at the moment or maybe even across the years.
01:32:36.220 Because you have to, it's an article of faith in some sense.
01:32:40.560 Do you believe that reality is better constituted as a consequence of truth or falsity?
01:32:46.340 If you believe that reality is best constituted as a consequence of truth, then you have a responsibility to speak the truth.
01:32:54.480 And you can't assess the consequences and say, well, that was a mistake.
01:32:59.020 Because part of the decision that reality is best constituted as a consequence of the truth is the decision that no matter what happens is the best if it's a consequence of telling the truth.
01:33:10.680 Yes.
01:33:11.060 And so that's what I conclude.
01:33:13.140 It's like.
01:33:14.120 It's great.
01:33:14.540 Okay.
01:33:14.700 So I think, you know, Dave, I don't know if you know this.
01:33:18.300 Do you know that the why the blaze is called the blaze?
01:33:23.020 You know why I named it that?
01:33:24.280 I'm sure I should know.
01:33:26.000 I'm sure I should know.
01:33:27.180 And I probably do know, but please tell me.
01:33:29.440 No, it was a private.
01:33:30.180 It was a private decision.
01:33:31.660 I've talked about it a few times, but a private decision.
01:33:34.960 I called it the blaze because I believe when you stand in the fire of the truth, it's a God thing.
01:33:44.340 When you stand in the truth, it purifies you because you can't have any lies a part of your life.
01:33:51.680 You can't.
01:33:53.060 Those will burn you up.
01:33:54.520 But when you stand firmly in the truth, that fire won't destroy you.
01:34:00.520 It destroys everything else that is lies.
01:34:03.080 And it is a it's really is an article of faith.
01:34:08.580 I believe that the truth wins.
01:34:11.520 That eventually.
01:34:12.600 That's the key part that the truth for truth's sake that you have to take a leap of faith to believe that.
01:34:19.760 Right.
01:34:19.900 Because we don't have empirical evidence that just if you tell the truth, things will work out.
01:34:23.220 And that's actually not what Jordan saying.
01:34:25.280 I'm not every right.
01:34:26.860 You have no guarantee.
01:34:28.420 And bad things will happen for sure.
01:34:30.980 But they will be the best possible consequence because you went for truth.
01:34:35.880 That to me is such a it's such a human, granular, decent explanation of faith that that I believe that I believe in that.
01:34:46.640 And I also believe in things that are beyond me.
01:34:49.560 All right.
01:34:50.120 So this is this was brought up because of a question I was going to ask you.
01:34:54.880 Let me ask you and then take a minute break and then come back and get your answer.
01:34:58.560 I was thinking this week on how many people just, you know, they just dismiss Israel and everything else.
01:35:05.840 And I think if you believe in God and you see the prophecy in the Old Testament of Israel and what will happen with Israel, how do you dismiss that?
01:35:19.240 I mean, it's the only country ever in the history of the world to have this happen to them.
01:35:26.380 It was foretold.
01:35:27.880 How do you dismiss all of that?
01:35:30.580 And I'd like to get your answer on that.
01:35:32.680 If you if you have one coming up in one minute.
01:35:35.140 Stand by.
01:35:35.840 Then we got to get to the craziness in California.
01:35:40.780 Rectech been raining a lot here lately in my neck of the woods, which means the outside temperature has been all over the place, but nothing's stopping us from grilling out.
01:35:50.760 I mean, it is beautiful and it doesn't it doesn't matter if it's raining, doesn't matter if it's really super hot or really super cold because Rectech, I don't have to stand there and check the food all the time.
01:36:01.600 I used to burn everything, everything on the grill.
01:36:07.080 I don't burn anything anymore and I can make it.
01:36:10.220 I can I can bake.
01:36:11.680 I can grill.
01:36:13.120 I can smoke.
01:36:14.180 It is really, really the best grill out there.
01:36:18.000 So find a Rectech and A-B compare.
01:36:21.340 Go look for the best and the best, you know, look at all of those and then go to Rectech, R-E-C-T-E-Q dot com and A-B compare them.
01:36:30.200 There is no comparison.
01:36:32.640 Dollar for dollar, pound for pound.
01:36:34.480 This is the best one available.
01:36:36.640 But do your own homework on it.
01:36:38.600 I think you'll eventually agree when you actually A-B compare them.
01:36:42.440 It's Rectech, R-E-C-T-E-Q dot com.
01:36:46.340 Ten seconds.
01:36:46.880 Station ID.
01:36:59.600 So, Dave, talking about truth.
01:37:01.920 I mean, there are things that, for instance, you know, you can you can be a climate denier, as they call it.
01:37:11.220 But you you have to accept that there are certain things that are true that show, you know, the temperature is rising, blah, blah, blah.
01:37:20.360 What that means is is is different than the facts.
01:37:24.720 So when when people on the left see the facts of of Israel and it being foretold and everything else, how do you dismiss that?
01:37:37.100 Well, Glenn, first off, so many of the people on the left don't believe in facts.
01:37:42.200 And that goes to what I was talking about before, about a war on truth.
01:37:45.540 Like, for example, I'll tell you a few facts right now and let's see if we can agree on facts.
01:37:50.100 There was never a country known as Palestine.
01:37:52.800 Is that true or false?
01:37:53.800 That's true.
01:37:54.760 That is true.
01:37:55.360 There was no country ever known as Palestine.
01:37:57.620 There was an area that was part of the Ottoman Empire for hundreds of years.
01:38:01.160 That was then part of the British Empire.
01:38:03.000 And when the British left, they said to the Jews that were there and to the Arabs, they said, we're going to split this thing.
01:38:08.960 It's the 1947 partition plan.
01:38:11.020 We're going to split this thing.
01:38:12.220 Do you guys accept?
01:38:13.600 You know, you'll take your country.
01:38:14.780 You'll take yours.
01:38:15.280 By the way, they didn't say it to Palestinians because there were no people known as Palestinians.
01:38:18.660 There were Arabs who lived in that area.
01:38:21.260 Well, the Jews said yes.
01:38:22.580 The Arabs said no.
01:38:24.240 And then a war happened.
01:38:25.400 And then thus Israel was born.
01:38:27.480 Now, if you can't even have this conversation when people are saying, well, they're occupying Palestine.
01:38:34.640 Well, you say, OK, well, who was the prime minister of Palestine?
01:38:37.060 Who was the president of Palestine?
01:38:38.680 What did the nation look like?
01:38:40.200 They can't even accept that.
01:38:41.500 I mean, if you literally say just that, they will call you all of the worst things, even if you think about what's happening right now.
01:38:49.120 It's like if if if there was a genocide happening, Jews are generally pretty good at math.
01:38:54.300 This is the worst genocide of all time.
01:38:56.320 The Gaza population is exploding.
01:38:58.360 It goes up every year, as does the Arab population in the West Bank.
01:39:02.580 Also, don't forget there's a border of Gaza with Egypt because Gaza used to be part of Egypt until they attacked Israel and lost Gaza.
01:39:12.340 Well, if Israel was slaughtering all of these people, you'd think that their Egyptian brothers might open up the border.
01:39:18.180 But Glenn, as I'm sure, you know, Egypt bombed the hell out of the border to keep them there because they don't want them.
01:39:23.680 And they filled tunnels up with water and they blew up houses and all that.
01:39:27.500 So that's a little offshoot of from what your question is related to.
01:39:31.520 Are you trying to connect this to the faith thing?
01:39:33.240 I'm trying to get it to that.
01:39:34.640 Even if you were to tell basic truths to people, they'll just say, no, they'll know.
01:39:39.340 No, can't be.
01:39:39.880 And they don't want to hear it.
01:39:41.300 They don't want to hear it.
01:39:41.960 So that's why so much of what we've been fighting is an erasure of history as well.
01:39:45.700 They don't want to know basic history because they have to fit everything to their narrative rather than fit history into reality.
01:39:52.520 It is.
01:39:53.500 And then again, you have to deny history again.
01:39:57.880 You have to deny facts.
01:39:59.540 Every time that happens, you do see genocide.
01:40:03.220 Every time someone tries to change or erase history and force people to do things, genocide happens.
01:40:10.280 Of course.
01:40:10.780 Even if you removed who was there first, removed the Bible, removed everything.
01:40:16.060 Let's just say there was a completely 50-50 who's wrong, who's right, and people are bombing each other.
01:40:22.520 Well, the new meme of the left is, oh, Israel is disproportionate in their use of force.
01:40:28.980 The implication is that you should be proportionate in force.
01:40:31.860 So if someone comes to your house to stab you, you should only stab them equally.
01:40:36.660 It's psychotic.
01:40:37.760 It's absolutely psychotic.
01:40:38.740 By the way, the United States has never been disproportionate in force.
01:40:42.160 Colin Powell had the Powell Doctrine, which was that if you attack a country, if whatever military action you do, you do it with overwhelming force so it doesn't happen again.
01:40:52.840 Otherwise, you continue to fight.
01:40:55.340 You want to slowly believe?
01:40:56.440 Go ahead.
01:40:57.440 Right.
01:40:58.880 You'll be fighting forever.
01:41:00.420 More with Dave Rubin in just a second.
01:41:04.060 There's some crazy things happening in California, Los Angeles.
01:41:09.980 Homeless camps are everywhere.
01:41:12.160 Fires are breaking out.
01:41:13.920 San Francisco, the teachers union.
01:41:17.920 Scam.
01:41:18.820 Total scam.
01:41:19.900 We'll talk about that next.
01:41:21.760 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:41:23.660 So right now, if you have teenagers, you know, it's prom season right now.
01:41:31.980 Now, listen, I don't want to pitch my slippers this way, but something as a dad compels me to do it.
01:41:41.260 I think you should get a pair if for no other reason than to show up at your kid's prom wearing them.
01:41:48.400 Sure, there'll be 30 before they ever forgive you.
01:41:51.300 But imagine the fun.
01:41:53.740 Imagine the fun.
01:41:55.180 Imagine the fun as he comes to pick up your daughter and you're sitting at the kitchen table in your my slippers and you're just loading a gun or cleaning a gun.
01:42:04.780 OK, and you're just like, what time is she going to be home as you're cleaning your gun?
01:42:08.940 OK, that's totally reasonable.
01:42:11.620 And then, you know, you go and pick her up, you know, or just go to say, hi.
01:42:17.820 Hey, you still at the prom and you're wearing my slippers.
01:42:21.040 I think that is worth the price of my slippers, which, by the way, are 40 percent off.
01:42:26.880 40 percent off great slippers.
01:42:29.260 You can wear them everywhere.

01:42:51.980 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:42:54.940 Let's talk a little politics here and what's been going on with the Republican Party.
01:42:59.880 I just had Nikki Haley on.
01:43:01.200 And I know you talked to her last week, Dave, but Nikki was on and she had strong words yesterday
01:43:08.220 on the podcast about the Republican Party.
01:43:12.820 She's like, get your act together.
01:43:15.240 Stop pussyfooting around.
01:43:17.700 You know, and this goes to the Lynn Cheney thing, which I think is bull crap.
01:43:21.880 I just think it's total bull crap.
01:43:24.500 She is somebody who voted, you know, with Trump the whole time, but it hated him.
01:43:31.980 I don't care if you like Trump or hate Trump.
01:43:34.840 We're the policies right.
01:43:36.940 And everybody is getting hung up on personalities.
01:43:39.860 And and the Republicans are going to lose yet again because I don't think they mean what they say.
01:43:47.960 Look at America can agree that being energy independent was really good.
01:43:53.960 Lower prices, really good.
01:43:56.940 The Middle East, not on fire.
01:43:59.700 Really good.
01:44:01.260 Russia, not hijacking us and hacking into our systems.
01:44:05.720 Really good.
01:44:06.620 China being on the ropes instead of in charge.
01:44:10.160 Really good.
01:44:11.620 What part of those policies are we really going to disagree with as a vast majority?
01:44:18.080 Why can't the Republicans pull their head out of their ass?
01:44:21.340 They have got to figure out.
01:44:23.380 And I say this as the new guy on the right, let's say, or the new conservative.
01:44:27.940 They have got to figure out, are we are we serious?
01:44:31.280 Are we serious about fixing this country and using power when we don't want to use power, but to fix the deeply wrong things with this country?
01:44:40.060 Or are we not?
01:44:41.220 Or do we just want to be liked by the Democrats and liked by MSNBC?
01:44:45.280 And what I can sense when I'm hearing the voices from my younger audience is that they have just had it with the Republicans, even if their beliefs fit more with the Republicans in terms of liberty and freedom and all of those things.
01:45:01.520 They have had it with these people who basically become these pets, you know, sort of a Mitt Romney type where it's like, you know, you never really defended anything.
01:45:10.700 But now the media kind of likes you because you were anti-Trump and you get pet pet on the head.
01:45:16.320 I mean, they're pet Republicans, I would say.
01:45:18.000 I think the Republicans, the conservatives, this this there's such a richness in this new movement, but they got to figure out, well, who's in charge?
01:45:26.520 Is this Trump's show still or, you know, what I think I've been saying this for a couple of weeks.
01:45:31.000 It seems to me that DeSantis probably should be at the top of the ticket and be sort of the figurehead of this thing.
01:45:37.340 But Trump should be the showman and the bodyguard on the outside.
01:45:41.480 Trump, do your rallies, take the bullets, fight the media so that DeSantis can do what we all want, which is be a statesman, be a mature, responsible leader.
01:45:51.980 All the things that he's doing in Florida, by the way, but he's going to need the bodyguard.
01:45:56.240 And if Trump this is the biggest if for Trump in his whole life, this could be bigger than deciding to run the first time.
01:46:01.600 Trump, can you put down the ego enough to say, I don't need to be the president, but I will do the thing that nobody wants to do one more time without being the head of the operation?
01:46:13.800 And I think that would work. I think it would work.
01:46:16.360 Yeah, I do, too. But I'm not sure that he can do that.
01:46:20.200 I don't know.
01:46:20.880 Imagine put yourself in that situation.
01:46:23.660 You went out discredited.
01:46:26.260 You went out and then everything you've done, they've reversed.
01:46:30.960 And the whole world went on fire and you're a businessman.
01:46:35.700 You fix the economy the first time.
01:46:38.380 That would be really it'd be really hard to to not run and say, oh, really?
01:46:45.900 Oh, it's not working now that I'm gone.
01:46:47.880 Hmm. Interesting.
01:46:50.340 And go in and just bulldoze would be really hard.
01:46:54.440 It would be incredibly hard.
01:46:55.860 Look, Trump is good at a bunch of stuff.
01:46:57.600 I think putting his ego aside is probably not his best trait, right?
01:47:01.460 Not in his wheelhouse.
01:47:02.480 Right. So it's like he would have to truly make a decision to say, hey, the thing that I did that worked that now has been reversed, maybe I can't do it exactly the same way.
01:47:12.260 But do I have a role in this?
01:47:13.720 Because the the simple truth is we need those rallies again.
01:47:18.340 We need to light the fire of patriotism again and pride in America because this Biden thing has been, well, I would say so much worse than we all thought, but I thought it was going to be pretty terrible.
01:47:27.780 I mean, I'm even surprised at the acceleration of the craziness, but it's going to continue to get worse.
01:47:34.720 And will Trump just say, you know what?
01:47:37.780 One more time, one more time, even if the machine tried to destroy me, but I'm still here.
01:47:43.400 And will I do something one more time?
01:47:45.760 I don't know.
01:47:46.800 But I don't see how they can do it without him for now.
01:47:49.520 That's just a that's just a cold reality about politics.
01:47:52.660 When you talk about the the youth, I see a strength in them.
01:47:59.220 You know, the the 20 somethings get a bad name by most people.
01:48:03.540 And I don't think so.
01:48:04.560 I think there's a huge split between the people who are now in their 30s who are really the ones kind of running this bull crap and and the the people that are coming up behind them.
01:48:18.080 I think they're different.
01:48:19.520 Oh, I think they're different.
01:48:20.320 And and and to go to where we started, you know, 20 minutes or so ago, I think they want truth.
01:48:26.540 They have been brought up in a world for it.
01:48:29.240 Yeah.
01:48:29.500 They have been brought up in a world that the political elite has lied to them.
01:48:32.900 The media elite has lied to them.
01:48:34.520 But but the beauty is, you know, when I was growing up at my ripe old age of 44, when CNN and mainstream media was lying to me, it was very hard to figure out the lies because we didn't have the Internet to immediately expose the lies to see the clip that they clipped and see that they clipped it right before someone.
01:48:50.320 Said something else or that they they took out the word or or and or but now they've grown up.
01:48:56.580 They're seeing all of it.
01:48:57.540 So they've seen the Wizard of Oz, the Wizard of Oz.
01:49:00.700 They've seen the curtain pulled back.
01:49:02.440 They see the nonsense and they're they're desperately, desperately looking for an adult.
01:49:07.580 They still want an adult.
01:49:09.180 They don't they don't want to take the reins of the world yet.
01:49:11.360 I think they understand for the most part, the mature ones.
01:49:13.880 Hey, we're 18, 20, 22.
01:49:15.680 We can't run the world yet.
01:49:16.960 But but where is someone where is someone mature and honest and decent ahead of me?
01:49:22.920 And do you see that person on the horizon?
01:49:26.140 Who do you see on the horizon from a political perspective?
01:49:28.740 I think DeSantis is as close to it as we've got.
01:49:31.620 You know, DeSantis, I think he's 42, 42, 43, something like that.
01:49:35.360 So generationally, I think that, you know, that's my generation.
01:49:39.040 That's Gen X.
01:49:39.860 And we have not stepped into the power yet.
01:49:42.440 You know, we're we're in the prime of our lives in that we're not in our 20s, 30s anymore.
01:49:46.680 We're in the 40s where you're still young enough to go get the world.
01:49:50.180 But you have some world knowledge and world weariness.
01:49:53.540 DeSantis, I think, is ready to fight.
01:49:55.460 You know, he's doing the right stuff on critical race theory.
01:49:57.660 He's fighting the big tech stuff.
01:49:59.380 I think, you know, his his history, you know, he's a military guy.
01:50:02.340 He's he's mature.
01:50:03.560 He's decent.
01:50:05.000 I think he's probably he's unafraid.
01:50:07.200 And he is he does have the one thing that Trump was alone in, and that is no fear of
01:50:14.980 the media.
01:50:15.820 None.
01:50:16.860 So if if that's if that's the guy at that level, but you can't just be him, you know,
01:50:21.340 in many ways, it was Trump versus the world.
01:50:23.020 And Trump's perhaps one of Trump's flaws was that maybe he just wasn't able to see the
01:50:28.060 rest of the party with the right people.
01:50:30.060 You know, he just could.
01:50:30.920 Right.
01:50:31.140 Right.
01:50:31.320 And the guy, look, you know, I liked him and I still like him, actually.
01:50:34.280 But, you know, he wasn't Jesus.
01:50:36.380 He was not perfect.
01:50:37.680 And maybe he just couldn't do everything that we all wanted.
01:50:40.940 That's you know, he's just a human being.
01:50:42.780 But I think this new generation might be able to to put that thing better together.
01:50:48.700 And I would include Nikki Haley in that.
01:50:51.280 But again, not all the answers are political.
01:50:53.320 I mean, I think a lot of the answers go back to that Jordan Peterson clip that we talked
01:50:56.360 about.
01:50:56.500 We're going to need to do this culturally and politically, not just not just because, you
01:51:01.580 know, we got the right guys in power in politics.
01:51:04.620 So let me let me play some audio from you for you from this week from a member of Antifa
01:51:13.540 who actually said this out loud.
01:51:16.420 Listen to I can't wait until white people.
01:51:20.080 Can you play that?
01:51:20.800 What was that?
01:51:27.480 You want to say it again?
01:51:28.180 I can't wait until black people lynch white people.
01:51:33.540 In case you had a hard time making that out.
01:51:44.460 I can't wait until black people lynch white people.
01:51:48.240 We are in a society now where there are enough people still fringe, but enough people that
01:51:57.000 and are being ignored, thus giving them more credibility and more power that actually would set up camps for
01:52:10.380 those who don't agree with them would liquidate, as we know, the from the FBI reports in the 1980s would liquidate 25 million people.
01:52:22.920 If that's what it took to get control of America, do you do your do your old liberal friends?
01:52:31.180 Do they still don't get it?
01:52:33.020 They still don't get it.
01:52:34.180 It's incredible to me.
01:52:35.820 It's truly incredible to me.
01:52:37.060 You know, when people tell you who they are, believe them.
01:52:39.680 When they tell you that America is a white supremacist state and must be burned down, which is in essence what the progressive leadership,
01:52:47.740 it's what Maxine Waters, AOC, Tlaib, Omar, it's what they're all saying.
01:52:52.600 You know, I will always look back on the on the primary moment where Mayor Pete, where Mayor Pete turned to Bernie right before Super Tuesday
01:53:00.760 when they cut the deal to get everybody out so that they could prop Biden and Mayor Pete.
01:53:05.120 It was the last debate.
01:53:05.940 Mayor Pete turned to Bernie and said, you want to burn it all down and I don't.
01:53:10.940 And Mayor Pete was right.
01:53:12.260 That is what they are here to do.
01:53:14.380 What is Bernie here to do?
01:53:16.100 They're telling us that.
01:53:17.020 And then when you when you add that with this horrific strain of identity politics masked in anti-racism.
01:53:24.300 Well, what if you believe that the country was founded on slavery is fundamentally evil, is systemically racist and all the things.
01:53:30.760 Yeah, there's going to be hell to pay for the people that play a role in that.
01:53:34.000 And that includes hanging white people.
01:53:35.760 I want to take I want to take a break, but I want to get your answer on the other side of this question.
01:53:41.900 Bill O'Reilly and I were talking talking just last hour and I said, Bill, is it going to be enough to wake people up?
01:53:49.160 You know, the economy, the critical race theory, the stuff that people are dealing with now, is it going to be enough to wake people up?
01:53:57.860 And he said, I think it will, but not for places like California.
01:54:02.720 It's too far gone.
01:54:05.280 Nothing will wake that state up.
01:54:07.360 I want to get your opinion on that when we return.
01:54:09.360 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
01:54:12.800 It's American Financing radio listener of ours.
01:54:16.160 Michael, he wrote in about his experience with American Financing.
01:54:18.960 He said, I have been working with the team at American Financing since we made the decision to refi.
01:54:25.720 The team is just been great.
01:54:28.740 Such a help since day one, answering all my questions.
01:54:31.680 And there have been plenty of questions and returning every single call.
01:54:35.680 My emails are answered quickly, which led me to wonder, do these guys work 24-7?
01:54:41.740 I've been contacted regularly, which allows me to rest easy, knowing that the progress is being made.
01:54:47.440 You know, isn't that the worst thing?
01:54:49.180 When people tell you they're going to do something by a certain date and then they don't hit it or they just don't call you back.
01:54:54.740 I mean, it just makes things so much worse.
01:54:56.380 It's like Dave was talking about truth.
01:54:58.180 Just tell me the truth, man.
01:54:59.160 I can handle it.
01:55:00.080 It's going to be another week.
01:55:01.280 Just tell me that.
01:55:01.980 And that's what Michael went through with American Financing in the good way.
01:55:07.300 They did call him.
01:55:08.000 They did tell him the truth.
01:55:10.940 He said the closing is coming and we don't have to even take time off because it's coming to us.
01:55:18.100 Maybe the people who have been working on this should take some time off because they work their butts off.
01:55:22.800 American Financing.
01:55:23.920 They'll work their butts off for you as well.
01:55:26.120 Thanks, Michael, for writing in.
01:55:27.520 800-906-2440.
01:55:31.380 It's 800-906-2440.
01:55:34.600 Call them now.

01:55:46.920 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:55:50.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:55:52.560 It's Friday.
01:55:53.220 Dave Rubin is joining us from the Dave Rubin Report.
01:55:55.740 Rubin Report can be found online also at blazetv.com.
01:56:02.240 Dave, I was asking you, Bill and I were talking last hour, Bill O'Reilly and I were talking last hour about he thinks the America will wake up, but not places like New York and California too far gone.
01:56:15.260 Do you agree with that?
01:56:16.160 Well, Glenn, as a guy that's only lived in New York and California, it's a depressing reality, but it probably is the reality.
01:56:24.780 Even with things like in San Francisco, the teachers union to be able to grab the cash, send the seniors back to high school for one day so they're eligible for the cash.
01:56:36.320 It's all psychotic.
01:56:38.060 I mean, I know that story, the level of crime that is now in San Francisco where you're seeing these videos where they won't arrest people anymore.
01:56:44.700 So people literally walk into drugstores, put their arm at the beginning of the aisle, steal everything.
01:56:51.040 And then the security guard who's like, hey, I'm making 12 bucks an hour.
01:56:55.120 Can I open the door for you?
01:56:56.960 Right.
01:56:57.480 The drug use.
01:56:58.380 I mean, you've seen all the videos that I post about L.A. homelessness.
01:57:01.000 It's crazy.
01:57:02.260 The L.A. homelessness is so bad.
01:57:03.980 And yesterday they came out 24 fires a day in homeless camps.
01:57:09.680 40 people have died from smoke inhalation, homeless people or burning to death.
01:57:16.560 And half of all of the fires in California that they have to fight are now coming from the homeless camps.
01:57:24.000 Right.
01:57:24.260 I mean, no, I know actually last year when we had that that month of really horrific fires, one of them was started.
01:57:30.460 That was about a mile away from my house.
01:57:32.200 Right.
01:57:32.540 Was started at a homeless campment that we knew about.
01:57:35.080 I mean, it was I had to drive there all the time when I was going to Costco and oh, there's the homeless encampment.
01:57:39.040 And then lo and behold, that was the place where the where the fire started.
01:57:42.800 But there there are so many problems in California.
01:57:46.100 And it seems to me that Gavin Newsom only makes things worse.
01:57:51.560 Every single policy that this buffoon puts forth makes things worse.
01:57:57.100 Who do you think has the best chance at this point to replace him?
01:58:02.860 How's Caitlyn Jenner doing?
01:58:04.800 I mean, look, here's the reality of it.
01:58:06.920 I don't think there's unfortunately we don't have a great crop here.
01:58:11.020 Right.
01:58:11.240 We don't have a great bench of people that are like, all right, we're recalling this fool.
01:58:15.880 Like, here's the 10 guys that can maybe do it.
01:58:18.920 It seems like it's Caitlyn or bust.
01:58:20.520 I mean, I know there's a couple other people.
01:58:21.980 There's John Cox, who's a Republican, who's tried to run a couple of times.
01:58:24.580 And there's a few others.
01:58:25.360 And I wish Richard Grinnell would run.
01:58:27.800 I've begged if Rick, I know, listen, because I text him every day.
01:58:32.280 Rick, save me.
01:58:33.580 And Rick, Rick, not only not only is Rick a great man, but he's a true Californian.
01:58:37.560 He's a fighter.
01:58:38.880 I mean, I don't know why he wouldn't run other than he's already been through, you know, the sausage machine.
01:58:45.080 But once you've been through it, what the hell do you have to lose?
01:58:47.840 Well, I think it's I think it's I think he would be amazing.
01:58:50.300 Glenn, I think it's the sausage machine.
01:58:52.160 And I think it's that good people just are like, you know what?
01:58:56.000 Yeah.
01:58:56.340 Why?
01:58:57.300 Why?
01:58:57.840 I am.
01:58:58.280 I am a good, happy, decent, productive person.
01:59:01.260 Why?
01:59:02.460 Evil happens when good people do nothing.
01:59:05.820 And he is a good guy.
01:59:08.160 I really like him.
01:59:09.240 Yeah.
01:59:09.700 I'd vote for him in a second.
01:59:11.520 Let's both call him today.
01:59:13.120 Let's both do it on air.
01:59:14.860 Let's do it.
01:59:15.400 Dave Rubin, thank you so much.
01:59:19.180 We'll talk again.
01:59:20.360 Have a safe weekend.
01:59:22.600 God bless.
