00:01:30.340 the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program
00:01:53.620 hello america welcome to the glenn beck program if you listen to the press
00:01:58.660 If you listen to the meatpacking association, what you're about to hear is the end of all safe meat.
00:02:08.400 What you're about to hear is the president wants to poison everyone with poisoned beef.
00:02:14.940 None of that is true.
00:02:16.660 None of this about inspections is true.
00:02:19.360 They're not going to have any inspections on me.
00:02:21.300 None of that is true.
00:02:23.860 You're being played.
00:02:26.200 Secretary Brooke Rollins is with us.
00:02:28.300 She is the U.S. Agricultural Secretary.
00:02:30.760 On Friday, the president made the announcement,
00:02:34.820 I'm going to be authorizing legal documents to be drawn in order to allow farmers and ranchers
00:02:39.000 to give the right to process their own food.
00:02:41.180 They should move quickly.
00:02:43.020 She responded, we're on it, Mr. President.
00:02:45.560 Big announcement starting on Monday.
00:02:47.920 This is the big announcement.
00:02:50.200 You're hearing it from the secretary herself in one minute.
00:02:54.340 Stand by.
00:02:54.880 First, ever notice how your car runs better when you keep up with the maintenance?
00:02:58.300 You don't wait for the engine to seize before changing the oil.
00:03:02.140 You give it what it needs so you can do what it was built to do.
00:03:06.100 And your body deserves the same approach.
00:03:07.720 Instead of white-knuckling through everyday discomfort and hoping it'll work itself out,
00:03:12.500 build a simple daily routine that supports the systems carrying you throughout your life.
00:03:17.240 And Relief Factor is that routine.
00:03:19.060 It was developed by doctors, and it's a supplement designed to support your body's response for inflammation.
00:03:24.780 it's targeted support that fits your uh between your morning coffee and the rest of your day and
00:03:30.200 you take it consistently and watch for the results sitting without wincing work day without you know
00:03:35.620 mid-afternoon i'm done like any good maintenance plan the goal is simple keep everything running
00:03:41.200 the way it should for 1776 special 250 year old price right now you can get relief factor get
00:03:49.180 three-week quick start trial bag right now 800-4-RELIEF 800 the number for relief or
00:03:54.860 relieffactor.com secretary welcome to the uh program we're glad you're here
00:04:03.460 glenn beck it's so good to be on with you uh really great to have you on team agriculture
00:04:08.800 by the way who knew this is uh this is incredible yeah i know it's uh it's been kind of a wild
00:04:15.300 thing to have this conversation with the president last week and have him connect with it and call
00:04:20.040 you and say, let's get this done. And I can't wait to hear what it is. And also, I think it's
00:04:26.080 important to say what it isn't because the disinformation, the cartel that is against this
00:04:33.380 is relentless with their lies. Well, that's right. First of all, a couple of quick top points.
00:04:40.140 really great to be on. I've been such a fan of yours for a really long time, so very, very special
00:04:45.960 to me. Number two, this president has been, and I believe will arguably go down in history as the
00:04:52.200 most pro-rancher, pro-farmer president in American history, at least in our lifetimes. Number three,
00:04:58.900 that what has happened over the last just decades, frankly, Glenn, it's not, you know, a lot of bad
00:05:03.400 things happened under Biden, a lot of bad things happened under Obama, but this is decades of
00:05:08.580 massive consolidation in agriculture, offshoring of our food supply in agriculture, the loss of
00:05:15.320 hundreds of thousands of farms and ranches. There is no national security. There is no freedom
00:05:20.760 unless we can feed and fuel ourselves. And, you know, that's why this isn't, frankly,
00:05:25.660 an existential question. And then the final kind of top point I'll make is that you're 100 percent
00:05:30.280 right that the president, you know, after talking to you, which I loved, got very interested. We've
00:05:37.260 talked about it at length over the last year and a half but but really your conversation i think
00:05:41.560 brought it to the fore and because he had made uh some comments and some decisions on a short
00:05:47.620 temporary import and a beef uh all of america was kind of watching on what we're doing with ranchers
00:05:53.040 and beef and so he said glenn you're right brooke you're right i want to you know deconsolidate let's
00:06:00.620 get back to the way it was 20 30 40 years ago where people could use more of a regional processor
00:06:06.360 a locally owned processor and the fact that two of the big four are owned by foreign entities
00:06:12.000 this is astonishing now does it mean there's no more inspection of course not america has the
00:06:18.740 best food inspection system in the world i mean you know you know it's true when we had a lettuce
00:06:25.560 issue that was of course fda had blueberries recently but i think we're so used to our food
00:06:31.440 just automatically being safe, and that's because of the thousands of food safety inspectors we have
00:06:37.920 in this country and around the world, and that will continue unabated. That's a really important
00:06:43.540 point. So it's not about the inspections of the food. It has always been about the way things
00:06:51.520 work, the way the law is written. If I want to sell my beef across state lines, I have to have
00:06:58.720 an inspector that is USDA. Most likely, if I'm living in a state like I sell my cattle in Idaho,
00:07:06.960 I got to go to Denver to sell my cows. I can't get them processed really in my state because I
00:07:11.740 don't process enough meat. So I don't have the small person. The people can't go and process
00:07:18.440 their beef in our state and then sell them to the local grocery store, which I don't understand the
00:07:24.620 people on the left they're for these big huge conglomerates um and then on top of it they
00:07:29.680 understand farm to table how do they not understand that same concept with beef and chicken how do
00:07:37.060 they not get that it's it's right and a couple of things on that and by the way we are we have a
00:07:42.280 whole series of announcements all week uh one of the five we're announcing today is on that exact
00:07:49.880 question. Interestingly enough, several states participate in a program, only 11 states, by the
00:07:55.540 way, not your state, but about 11 states. Georgia just got added in the last few weeks. New Mexico
00:08:00.900 is close. Those states, they actually can sell across state lines because the states
00:08:06.440 have entered into agreements with USDA. So we are doubling down on that. Hopefully talk to
00:08:12.940 your governor. If I haven't already, I'll be talking to him or others this week to get these
00:08:17.920 other states on board but we have inspectors in every single state we just have to enter into
00:08:22.780 agreements immediately that will allow for example your beef to sell across state lines but that's
00:08:29.400 just one of about a hundred things where you know we've been doing we're going to be doing to make
00:08:33.220 this easier for our ranchers and to provide a better market for them and you also are you
00:08:38.560 making it easier for people to build i mean right now what is it 85 or almost 90 percent of all beef
00:08:46.920 is processed through these big four.
00:08:48.860 It was not like that 20 years ago.
00:08:51.280 It's never been like this.
00:08:52.740 This is a massive monopoly.
00:08:55.700 Can you make it easier?
00:08:56.980 Are you going to make it easier
00:08:58.340 for people to be able to build processing plants
00:09:02.340 in their own states and get state inspections?
00:09:06.840 Yes, so I think this is a really key component
00:09:10.900 of all of this.
00:09:11.640 And by the way, we're talking big four processors,
00:09:14.260 packers today, but this is true
00:09:16.320 in fertilizer. This is true in seed. This is true in almost every level and layer in agriculture.
00:09:24.660 And what's really another conversation for another time, Glenn, but just to put this into context,
00:09:28.820 our farmers continue to struggle year over year, right? The federal government injects money
00:09:33.640 just for their survival. But meanwhile, all of these big ag companies, a lot of them foreign
00:09:40.140 owned, continue to have a stronger and stronger bottom line. So the minute we announce a new
00:09:46.460 injection of funds, a bridge payment, a damage payment, whatever it is, the price of the trucks
00:09:55.480 go up, right? The price of the tractors go up. The price of seed goes up. I mean, this is what
00:10:00.140 happens when you don't have a fully functioning market. So obviously today we're talking about
00:10:05.000 that non-fully functioning market in it. Do we lose her? A massive, massive issue. So to answer
00:10:13.140 your question on the big four, yes, what we have done over the last year is really invested in
00:10:18.500 small and mid-size packing so that a co-op, a group of farmer owned, we've got some great
00:10:25.200 examples of this, by the way, around the country that are building this out with the help of USDA
00:10:30.780 grants and loans. And we'll be announcing a bigger pot for that today. And there is an
00:10:36.860 opportunity here. I'm sure you're tracking that a few weeks ago, Tyson announced the closure
00:10:41.380 of three of their plants. They're shifting a lot of their processing. Some other plants,
00:10:46.680 one of them in Texas and other places. But that opens up, Glenn, about 20% of the market
00:10:52.740 for smaller and mid-sized companies to come in, American-owned, to rebuild and to catch some of
00:11:00.440 that market that is now opening up so as tough as that that decision was that announcement was i
00:11:05.700 actually think the long-term implications are very positive for for this for this industry so if
00:11:10.920 people understood how beef was you know purchased and i'm not going to explain it here because it's
00:11:16.180 just not worth it but on this grid system with no transparency i mean it is honestly like if you
00:11:22.760 were selling your house and these big four companies were buying all the houses and they
00:11:27.760 bought two houses and then said we're going to base all of the prices on those two houses that
00:11:32.700 we just bought and you'd be like well wait that's not a free market what are you talking what are
00:11:36.020 you talking about that's the grid system that's how they buy beef it's it's absolutely anti-free
00:11:41.240 market is there going to be transparency on that um yeah on the and and on when they're closing
00:11:49.080 their kill floors because that's another thing i i can send my beef to be auctioned and then they
00:11:54.760 and say you know what we had to close our we had to close our uh kill floor so we don't really need
00:12:00.620 it so we're going to pay a lower price and you never know yeah good good luck to you guys yeah
00:12:06.420 so this is a major part i'm on my way to nebraska actually as we speak in the car and uh really
00:12:12.420 giving a state of the cattle union if you will those are my words a state of the union on the
00:12:17.940 cattle industry on the rancher uh industry on what's happened to our ranchers how we rebuild
00:12:23.260 the herd. We're at a 75-year low after an all-out war against cattle by the left over the last 20
00:12:30.220 years. What we need to do to do that, and of course, transparency is probably one of the key
00:12:36.640 components of all of that. Senator Ricketts and Senator Fisher will both be there, the governor
00:12:41.060 of Nebraska. Nebraska, of course, the number one beef state. And while there's a lot of things we
00:12:46.200 need to do, we need to incentivize young ranchers, we need to keep private property rights absolute
00:12:51.680 loot in this country. We need to open up grazing in the West. We need to move some of the overused
00:12:56.620 cropland to grazing land. We need to bring the cost of fertilizer down. Ranchers use fertilizer
00:13:01.120 as well. We need to break up the big four, bring more competition in. But to your point, 1.00
00:13:07.260 transparency in what these ranchers are getting paid, what they're having to pay,
00:13:13.240 that has been lost in the current system. And while the ranchers are making a pretty good
00:13:18.320 per head uh pay right now pay out right now that's very unusual right for decades they were at the
00:13:25.340 at the bottom of the of the pile and now they're just starting to catch up again
00:13:29.820 which is really important so transparency is very very important so can one yes we'll be making
00:13:36.260 more announcements on that one more time because this this i don't know cattle ranchers association
00:13:41.860 or something that does not sound like any cattle rancher I have ever encountered have
00:13:48.300 come out and said, again, this is all about dangerous meat.
00:13:52.700 Do you know anything about these people that are leading this campaign?
00:13:55.780 And just one more time, can you just set the record straight on what this means for safe
00:14:04.340 for food safety?
00:14:06.980 Well, yes.
00:14:08.120 And again, I appreciate there are we have just the USDA.
00:14:11.860 I think close to 10,000 inspectors, nothing is compromised on inspection.
00:14:18.940 The food, especially our, I mean, listen, America, you're part of this, grows the best, highest quality, most impressive, most in-demand beef in the world, in the world.
00:14:32.320 And that is why you see with Make America Healthy Again, our big movement there.
00:14:36.360 You know, one of the announcements today is going to be changing the way the government procures its food and its beef, military, hospitals, school lunches, which is under me at USDA, Bureau of Prisons, that putting the American rancher and the beef directly from American ranches into the government system.
00:14:56.600 You know, we're making a lot of changes right now. But none of that is possible unless Americans have full confidence in the safety of what they're eating. And you can't do that without inspectors. And so, you know, you can you can have some scare tactics from some from some, you know, little shady or smoke and mirrors front groups.
00:15:15.760 You and I have been in the conservative movement long enough to understand how that works, right?
00:15:20.800 But at the end of the day, this is the most impressive, most robust food inspection safety system in the world, and none of that will be compromised.
00:15:31.600 How long before this all goes into effect and how long before the people at the supermarket feel these changes or impact?
00:15:39.640 well you know as you know glenn this is uh this is a very complicated supply chain when we were
00:15:49.160 dealing with the cost of eggs right a year and a half ago you hatch a chicken within three or four
00:15:54.000 months that chicken's laying an egg uh and we're off to the races and so you've seen right the cost
00:15:58.700 of eggs come down 30 40 50 listen a rancher retains a heifer that heifer takes two years 0.55
00:16:06.180 to get to the point where she can even birth a calf. 1.00
00:16:09.400 That calf then takes another two years
00:16:11.440 before he can even get to the slaughterhouse
00:16:13.720 and become part of the food supply chain.
00:16:15.740 So it is a long, long process.
00:16:18.460 Having said that, we've already begun to see signs of improvement
00:16:21.880 for the first time in 10 years.
00:16:23.680 Our heifer retention rate was up,
00:16:25.220 meaning ranchers were keeping more of their heifers.
00:16:28.240 And the remarks I'm giving today,
00:16:30.000 the announcement I'm giving today,
00:16:31.100 will be with the president later this week
00:16:33.820 to talk even more announcements for our ranchers and for our agriculture supply system, how
00:16:39.560 important it is. So I believe we'll begin to see some of these, well, not I believe, I know some
00:16:45.220 of the announcements we're making today will be immediate. Others will take a little bit longer
00:16:49.380 to implement. But the challenge that we're trying to solve is that for so long, agriculture and the
00:16:56.220 decisions that were made, for better or worse, were for the immediate. And listen, we need short
00:17:01.240 term changes the consumer you know is hurting but we also have to have a long-term plan and if we
00:17:06.980 don't we will continue to see the erosion of one of the greatest stories in American history
00:17:12.500 the foundation of our country which is agriculture and our farmers and ranchers and we have to
00:17:17.940 reverse the trend we've seen are we going to be able to get Congress to act on this so when the
00:17:22.200 president leaves somebody doesn't come in and just reverses well that's right that's one of
00:17:26.920 the most important things I think people don't realize is the president will be signing an
00:17:31.000 executive order or two on this later this week. The announcements I'm making today are outside of
00:17:36.060 those EOs, so we're just doing a lot. But if we don't codify this, if Congress doesn't pass it,
00:17:41.880 then the left who believe that cattle cause climate change with their burping and other gas,
00:17:47.200 that they'll begin the war on cattle again. So part of the announcement today is going to be
00:17:53.360 calling on Congress to continue. The farm bill that the House passed that the Senate didn't get done
00:17:58.000 has a lot of good changes in there there's a lot of really good policy out in some of the bills and
00:18:04.460 i'm going to fight i'm making that a priority for next year to really work with congress to codify
00:18:09.280 a lot of these major unprecedented changes that we're announcing this week okay brooke thank you
00:18:16.040 thank you thank you thank you thank the president for this i just think it's a good really good news
00:18:21.800 a long time coming but thank you well that's right and again i can't thank you enough it is a it is
00:18:29.780 an all of all of the above effort and your knowledge and your willingness to champion
00:18:34.980 agriculture in rural america is going to make a huge difference so i look forward to more of
00:18:39.940 these conversations going forward and just grateful for you thanks a lot secretary brooke
00:18:43.980 rollins uh the uh the agriculture secretary uh announcing part of the things that she said it is
00:18:51.020 going to be rolling out all week this is very good news i can't tell you how how long i have
00:18:59.420 heard ranchers talk about this and it's finally happening i'm going to explain it a little bit
00:19:03.520 more um here in a second in in a way that it will make sense to you because it is important for you
00:19:09.960 to understand this if we're going to get it past congress you have to know most you know most kids
00:19:15.380 are like where does your meat come from supermarket they don't even know it comes from a cow
00:19:19.800 we have to know how this system works if we're going to actually change anything first our
00:19:26.880 sponsor paid for by super sure insurance agency llc a licensed insurance agency you know i think
00:19:33.340 entrepreneurship is the is the is the most american form of optimism you'll look at an
00:19:41.320 empty building an id and a piece of paper maybe a bank account that nearly isn't as big as you'd
00:19:45.640 like. You say, I can build something here. I can do something. That's an act of faith. And this
00:19:50.040 country was built by people who do exactly that. The shopkeeper, the farmer, the inventor, the guy
00:19:54.980 who started with one truck and eventually had 20. They built something that didn't exist before.
00:20:00.440 They created jobs that didn't exist before. They serve people that mean they may never have met
00:20:05.160 otherwise. Something that you've worked so hard to build deserves to be protected. That's where

00:20:54.160 Let me go to Ricky
00:20:55.220 in our studios in Florida.
00:20:57.520 Ricky,
00:20:58.840 did I cover everything?
00:21:01.380 Did, I mean,
00:21:02.700 trying to make it clear. I mean, the thing that
00:21:05.000 i can't believe is how many lies there are and how many people are falling for this they're not
00:21:11.140 going to have any meat safety what good oh yeah there was a massive account with 7.2 million
00:21:18.540 followers on instagram that said that you and trump are trying to make sure that ranchers sell
00:21:25.780 meat without federal inspection while three outbreaks are still active the engagement on
00:21:30.840 this is insane so the disinformation is coming to you from all angles and the question is why
00:21:37.260 because there's there's millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars at stake
00:21:43.620 and as she said let's not forget the the green lobby let's not forget what the socialists would
00:21:49.900 like to do to our farming let's not forget what the people who who are buying up all of our farmland
00:21:56.460 want to do to farmers and ranchers i mean this is big huge business i want to look into ricky
00:22:03.360 if you can assign this to somebody tell me who the the national cattleman's beef association is 0.50
00:22:08.500 because that sounds like the biggest bull crap i've ever heard because they should know these
00:22:15.660 things and they should be championing this and for some reason they're not and it seems like a 0.99
00:22:21.700 bogus cattlemen. To me, it's almost like, oh, is this Bill Gates' organization? Is he the
00:22:30.880 cattleman behind this? More in a minute. Let me tell you about Cozy Earth. Really good hotel bed
00:22:37.700 has one fair advantage over your bed at home. Somebody else made it. You walk into the room
00:22:43.140 and there it is, perfectly made, pillows fluffed, sheets are crisp, and you destroy the whole thing
00:22:48.280 without an ounce of guilt that's luxury but there's another part that five-star hotel experiences
00:22:53.520 have that you can actually bring home with you without stealing anything from the hotel and it's
00:22:58.580 the sheets cozy earth sheets they have that incredibly soft smooth lightweight feel that
00:23:05.000 makes climbing into bed feel like you've checked into someplace really expensive they're naturally
00:23:09.780 breathable they wick away the moisture and if you're a hot sleeper that matters cozy earth
00:23:15.120 gives you a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty.
00:23:18.660 The only thing they don't provide to somebody is somebody to make the bed every morning.
00:23:23.180 I've checked.
00:23:24.140 Unfortunately, they don't do it.

00:23:45.120 coming up next glenn reveals america's been here before with meat monopolies and gives
00:23:52.380 a century-old lesson they left out of the history book get your we've been here before tease at
00:24:15.120 there's so much going on today um we've got all of your news that you need to know coming up
00:24:25.380 um i want to i want to go on this one more time because we're getting hammered and the president's
00:24:30.300 getting hammered by people who are absolutely lying to you when they say he wants to get rid
00:24:36.380 of or i want to get rid of all regulations on meat that is insane that's insane and you have
00:24:42.740 to recognize that people need to understand this is farm to table this is support your local farmers
00:24:50.680 this is buy locally think think globally act locally it's all the things the left wants
00:24:58.000 all the things that the left says they hate the giant corporations taking everything over
00:25:03.860 that is what this is fighting for and fighting against I don't know who is responsible for this
00:25:14.640 onslaught online to convince people that this is dangerous but let me explain because we've been
00:25:21.240 here before and I want you to understand I am a rancher the way some men are cowboys
00:25:25.420 mostly hat not much cattle okay I write the checks so I'm not holding myself out as an expert
00:25:33.420 I know. I talk to ranchers. I don't know all of the ins and outs. I know enough to know there's
00:25:39.100 a deep problem here. And when you're writing the checks, you learn the oldest line in farming and
00:25:45.940 agriculture. Everybody tells it as a joke, but it's not a joke. The surest way to become a rancher
00:25:51.440 worth a million dollars is to start with two million dollars. Okay. I live in a town of
00:25:56.460 farmers and ranchers, and they taught me more in a few years than I've taught anybody in the last
00:26:01.880 30. And what they've been telling me quietly over and over at the feed store without a lobbyist
00:26:08.640 anywhere in sight is this. Four companies buy about 85% of all of the steers and the heifers
00:26:15.560 in the United States. Those companies, Tyson, Cargill, JBS, and National Beef. Two of them
00:26:23.300 are foreign owned. In 1977, the big processors handed about 12% of American cattle. There
00:26:31.860 were roughly 2,600 livestock slaughter plants in the country, okay? We've done this before without
00:26:37.620 any kind of problems. 15 years later, there was less than 1,400, and the plants didn't get better.
00:26:45.520 They got bigger, and then there weren't so many of them. Now, here's the number that nobody puts
00:26:52.200 on television. Nobody ever tells you. Every American dollar that Americans spend on food,
00:26:58.780 The share that makes it back to the man who grew it has gone from 35 cents in 1970 to 14 cents.
00:27:09.080 Meanwhile, inflation has gone way up.
00:27:12.900 14 cents.
00:27:14.640 14 cents on every dollar.
00:27:17.040 That's the guy who carried the drought, the vet bill, the diesel, the interest, the 18 months of feed, every ounce of the weather risk.
00:27:26.580 He gets 14 cents.
00:27:28.780 now some of this has been to court tyson and cargill agreed this spring to pay 87 and a half
00:27:35.880 million dollars to settle claims that they fix beef prices jbs paid 83 and a half million to
00:27:42.600 settle with the ranchers now all of them are denying they're doing anything wrong and no court
00:27:47.620 has found that they did do anything wrong but i'm telling you the way it's still legal
00:27:54.580 and you it still can be legal but it can still be wrong the justice department has a criminal
00:28:02.000 antitrust investigation running right now the acting attorney general says that they've been
00:28:06.300 through more than three million documents no charges yet so the president posted on friday
00:28:12.280 that there was essentially four of them which is not a competitive number and everybody knows that
00:28:16.740 and he intends to break it up now he wasn't inventing a grievance he was reading the room
00:28:23.120 of about 9,000 small towns.
00:28:27.380 So I brought him this Wednesday.
00:28:29.540 And I want to be clear, this isn't my idea.
00:28:31.640 This is Thomas Massey.
00:28:32.980 This is Republicans and Democrats
00:28:36.000 that have been carrying this bill for years.
00:28:38.960 Now, this isn't exactly the same thing,
00:28:41.620 but mostly it belongs to the men
00:28:44.080 who have been saying at the sale barn
00:28:46.580 since before I owned a fence post
00:28:50.540 that this is not right the way it's working.
00:28:54.580 And within about 90 seconds of the announcement,
00:28:57.660 the response arrived, 0.93
00:28:59.200 how your beef is now going to kill you.
00:29:02.180 So let's talk about what's actually on the table here.
00:29:05.240 A rancher takes his animal to a small plant,
00:29:08.160 close to home, licensed and inspected by his own state.
00:29:13.340 29 states run their own inspection programs.
00:29:17.000 Federal law already requires those programs
00:29:20.000 to meet the standards to at least the equal to the federal standards. Same standard. The meat
00:29:27.600 still can't cross the state line in many of those states because of a line on the map.
00:29:32.420 That doesn't make sense. The version that passed the House puts a label on every package. Who
00:29:38.860 processed it? Who owned the animal? Where was it raised? What day was it slaughtered? And a plain
00:29:44.080 notice that it wasn't federally inspected. So it's on the label. That's more information that
00:29:49.800 you have ever had about a single pound of beef in your life. Go look. Go look at what's in your
00:29:55.160 freezer right now. Do you have that? It says a plant number. That's it. So the middleman isn't
00:30:03.020 being eliminated. The butcher is still there. The inspection is still there. The label is louder
00:30:08.980 than it's ever been. The only thing that changes is the fact the middleman doesn't have to be one
00:30:15.120 of four companies. Now, who do you suppose wrote the rules that made it four? We've been here
00:30:23.140 before. Let me take you to 1906. And I got to tell you, socialists, you should kiss my feet for this.
00:30:32.140 A young socialist named Upton Sinclair spent seven weeks undercover in the Chicago stockyards and
00:30:39.420 writes a novel called The Jungle. He wrote it about the workers. He wanted Americans to be
00:30:46.040 outraged about men falling into rendering vats. Instead, America read the chapters about the meat
00:30:53.540 and stopped eating sausage. He said later that he'd aimed the public's heart and hit it in the
00:31:00.640 stomach. Europe banned American meat, sales collapsed, Congress moved fast, and the big
00:31:06.580 Chicago Packers, the one Sinclair had exposed, went to Washington and testified in favor of the
00:31:12.520 bill. Their man told the House Agriculture Committee that they were in favor of the
00:31:18.200 extension of inspection, in favor, enthusiastically in favor. Now, why would you volunteer to be
00:31:25.560 regulated? Because the federal inspector standing in your plant is a fixed cost.
00:31:34.400 Armour and Swift could swallow it across a million head a year.
00:31:39.220 The butcher in Iowa, killing 40 head, could not.
00:31:43.980 And because of that, the federal stamp reopened Europe.
00:31:47.980 The government now would certify your product worldwide for free.
00:31:52.560 That same year in Chicago, the Packers founded a trade association to help them live inside the new law.
00:31:59.260 It still exists. It's called the Meat Institute.
00:32:01.860 it's a group that issued a statement this last week warning that letting this meat reach consumers
00:32:07.660 is the wrong approach read their own history page they'll tell you what the association spent in its
00:32:14.320 early years fighting for keeping the cost of meat inspection off the meat industry and on the
00:32:19.400 taxpayer they asked for these rules they asked to pay for them and then those rules quietly did
00:32:27.200 what the rules were shaped to do. Now, Sinclair understood exactly what happened. Socialists,
00:32:34.380 I want you to listen to this. Upton Sinclair, the guy who got meat regulations, said the federal
00:32:42.480 inspection of meat was established at the Packers' request for the Packers' benefit.
00:32:48.680 The great muckraker of the age spent the rest of his life explaining that he had accidentally
00:32:55.280 handed the meat packers a gift now let me tell you the other side because it is true
00:33:01.620 the meat institute says beef costs what it costs because the national herd is the smallest it has
00:33:07.700 been in 75 years and that a bigger herd not a different plant is the answer that's a serious
00:33:15.180 argument and it's true large plants genuinely do process cheaper per animal usda's own economists
00:33:22.680 say so. A small plant carries the same refrigeration, sanitation, labor costs across a hundredth of the
00:33:29.440 volume. Your local butcher may not be able to beat Walmart ever. And the National Cattlemen's Beef
00:33:36.220 Association, which sounds like BS, a rancher's group, not a packer's group, has real worries
00:33:42.840 about the administration's beef policy. When your own side raises a hand, you listen. So here's my
00:33:49.340 answer. Nobody is asking you to buy it. We're asking it to be allowed to exist with its name
00:33:58.080 on it. So you can look at the meat and go, oh, this is one of those shady small market butchers.
00:34:05.920 I don't trust that. And you don't buy it. If a local plant can't compete, it'll close
00:34:12.740 and the market will have told us something true. But right now the market is not allowed to speak.
00:34:19.340 And I have to ask the people I usually disagree with, think globally, act locally, know your
00:34:27.640 farmer, know your food, small is beautiful, buy local, farm to table, stop the big corporations.
00:34:35.520 We agree. Vegetables, cheese, honey, bread, eggs, wine. I'm with you on milk. The closer home,
00:34:43.660 the better. The smaller, the better. The more you know a man's name, the better.
00:34:47.860 but then when the same crowd hits beef suddenly the only trustworthy food in america is the kind
00:34:55.440 that comes out of a brazilian-owned plant the size of a regional airport
00:35:00.280 since when have you started to trust the multinational over the neighbor
00:35:06.380 now i don't think most of you do i think you heard a name and attached to it and you reach
00:35:13.280 for the switch. But I'd ask you to look at the thing instead of the name, because that's how
00:35:21.360 it's done to all of us. Rules get written by the biggest players in the room, sold to you as safety
00:35:29.580 and paid for by everybody else. And in the end, it isn't ideology. It's a man in a town like mine
00:35:38.080 deciding whether he can hand the place to his kids or has to sell it to somebody who has never met
00:35:45.320 cattle. We are losing our ranchers and our farmers. You must free them not from safety regulations
00:35:56.840 but from the regulations that have been built to keep these four monstrosities growing and growing
00:36:05.540 and growing they're at 85 percent of all beef right now they're about to hit 90 this cannot
00:36:14.020 continue we know this is what the free market is all about and if you're for those big jbs
00:36:24.040 tyson foods you're not for them with with chicken why are you suddenly for the slaughterhouses for
00:36:33.120 beef. Why are you for that? I don't understand. Local, local, local. The more we can bring things
00:36:45.140 closer, let people, these small little, these small little yards where you bring your cows in,
00:36:54.760 I can't get my cows in because I think in Idaho there's maybe one or two places I can go.
00:36:59.820 Otherwise, I sell all my beef in Denver, and it goes to one of the big slaughterhouses because I only sell 50 a year.
00:37:07.920 I can't get it done locally because there's not enough.
00:37:11.920 But I'd love to be able to sell it to my neighbor.
00:37:14.260 I'd love to be able to sell it to you, but I can't.
00:37:18.660 I've got to sell it to one of the big four.
00:37:21.900 This is not politics.
00:37:23.460 this is survival for the rancher the farmer and national survival for us more in a minute
00:37:32.640 american financing credit card interest uh is rent you pay on money that you already spent
00:37:39.220 think about that dinner's gone the gas is gone whatever you bought three months ago
00:37:43.980 you know maybe sitting in a closet somewhere but the interest oh it's still there month after month
00:37:49.880 It just keeps showing up, charging, you know, for the privilege of having spent the money in the past.
00:37:54.500 And when you're carrying high interest credit card debt, that can eat an enormous hole in your monthly budget.
00:37:59.780 If you're a homeowner, American Financing may be able to help you use the equity in your home to consolidate that high interest debt into your mortgage.
00:38:07.620 That can mean lower monthly obligations, more breathing room in your budget.
00:38:11.740 In fact, American Financing borrowers save an average of $800 a month.
00:38:15.840 You can't go back and unspend yesterday's money, but you can stop paying for it at least so much every single month.
00:38:24.460 There are zero upfront fees.

00:38:54.160 You're on the right end of that sentence.
00:38:57.380 Glenn Beck, back in a flash.
00:38:59.400 it feels like every conversation about weight loss eventually turns to injections these days i mean
00:39:16.960 you've probably heard about all that by now there's a lot of commercials pretty much running
00:39:20.360 around the clock uh these results can be dramatic uh but for a lot of people you know giving
00:39:25.040 themselves a shot every week is suboptimal you know along with the potential side effects it's
00:39:30.240 not something that's really appealing to a lot of people it's one thing of course people do want to
00:39:34.700 lose weight um but you know do you really want to go that far you really want to use that do you
00:39:39.860 want to stick a needle in yourself to make that happen some people love that some people are real
00:39:44.340 needle fiends but most aren't i would say so the real question comes to you when you say like well
00:39:50.420 how if i want to keep losing weight if i want to start losing weight if i want to maintain weight
00:39:54.840 loss would i take a different approach and that's where lean comes in lean is a weight loss

00:40:41.860 so there's uh so many insiders that are writing in with comments on this beef prices just like
00:40:57.840 gas prices never come down once they skyrocket it seems that way but remember um meat is actually
00:41:04.300 different we have very high prices uh on meat the farmers for the first time the ranchers are making
00:41:10.280 money on their herd um but that's the first time in well since i've been ranching in 20 years that's
00:41:16.660 the first time um but they will come down if we can get some of these things implemented um you 0.93
00:41:23.160 know one of the things that we have to do is blm land that's you know not black lives matter that's 0.88
00:41:29.460 bureau of land management they own in the west they own that's the federal government their land 0.87
00:41:35.180 everywhere and if we can get our our animals to be able to graze on blm which the lefties
00:41:43.300 started pulling all of that land back and and started uh shrinking that land um we need to be
00:41:51.060 able to open that up and the good news is donald trump just announced that he is opening up more
00:41:55.340 federal land for grazing so that will also help the problem is is this right now is a problem
00:42:03.620 because fuel, fertilizer, equipment, interest rates, everything, COVID, all of this hit our
00:42:11.220 ranchers all at once, and they had to sell their cattle to be able to keep their farm. Some of them
00:42:17.280 didn't even make it. That's why we have this small herd, because everything hit them at once.
00:42:24.200 Now is the time to do the right thing so the farmers and the ranchers can keep their money
00:42:30.040 and be able to buy more calves and be able to grow them.
00:42:33.480 But remember, it's at least a two-year process before you start to have more cattle. 1.00
00:42:39.340 The last thing we need is a bunch of foreign cattle coming in, 1.00
00:42:43.660 especially if it doesn't say this is from Brazil. 1.00
00:42:47.400 Now, some people might, they might go, I don't care where it's from.
00:42:51.080 I do. I want American ranchers to survive.
00:42:54.760 And it is imperative, imperative that our farmers and ranchers survive and they're not all giant ag companies.
00:43:04.520 They've got to be locally owned.
00:43:09.840 Hello, America. 0.99

00:44:01.040 Now let's get to work. You know, there's a problem with the way most of us think about health. We
00:44:04.780 assume that if something is wrong, we'll know it, or our doctor will catch it at the annual physical,
00:44:08.940 but that's really not how it works. Most health problems build slowly. You're a little more tired
00:44:13.580 than you used to be. Your sleep isn't quite as good these days. Maybe you feel a little foggy,
00:44:17.860 a little off, and every year you're told, good news, your blood work looks fine, until one day
00:44:22.300 it doesn't. And by that point, you're not preventing a problem, you're managing one.
00:44:27.040 That's why I like what Jevity does. They look deeper at over a hundred different labs,
00:44:31.560 including hormones, inflation, metabolic health, nutrient levels, the kinds of things that actually
00:44:37.100 help you understand what's happening in your body years before a diagnosis. A technician comes to
00:44:42.580 your home, they draw your blood, and then a real care team walks you through the results
00:44:46.280 so you actually understand what those numbers mean.

00:45:39.840 the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program
00:45:53.580 so we're in day three of the jury deliberation of lindsey clancy uh some people are looking
00:46:01.520 that as a bad thing i gotta tell you with nine women on the jury i look at this as a good thing
00:46:06.740 I think if it was going to be not guilty, it would have happened quickly.
00:46:13.480 There's somebody on the jury, I think, that's like, whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:46:17.160 Not so fast.
00:46:18.300 It's just my guess, but it's day number three, and we're expecting an answer at any time.
00:46:27.440 We'll see as we watch that case in mass.
00:46:31.480 Also, the president announced over the weekend the largest oil sale of all time.
00:46:39.100 We have purchased with penny stock.
00:46:42.980 I can explain all this.
00:46:44.340 We have just purchased some of the oil fields in Venezuela.
00:46:49.740 We're now partnered with them in a public way.
00:46:53.480 But the United States now has first right of refusal for about 20% of their oil.
00:46:58.440 This is really good.
00:47:00.520 Again, it's not an overnight thing, but it is something that sets us up for the next hundred years. 0.78
00:47:06.700 And if I were Kearney in Canada, I would be looking at that going, oh, crap.
00:47:13.000 But a lot of things come into play on that, and I'll explain that probably next hour. 0.99
00:47:20.100 I want to start with something that I just think is ridiculous and continues to be ridiculous.
00:47:25.120 we put a t-shirt out the welcome to lake america t-shirt um which i think is hysterical hysterical 0.84
00:47:31.440 i think the whole argument is hysterical i think the name is hysterical i think all of it and what's
00:47:36.760 crazy is in a completely different way half of america is hysterical canada has become hysterical
00:47:45.160 in a completely different way and i want to explain how this all works for anybody who's
00:47:51.960 hysterical because it is hysterical. We'll talk about that here in just 60 seconds. First, let
00:47:58.840 me tell you about real estate agents. I trust.com. A house is one of the few things you buy where the
00:48:04.340 price tag is just the beginning of the conversation. You don't walk into a Costco, find a
00:48:08.920 television for $800 and say, I'll give you $750. You want the seller to fix that scratch and pay
00:48:15.360 part of my closing costs too. I want you to pay for the taxes. They just say to you, can you leave
00:48:20.700 Costco now. Real estate is different. They're asking a price and they're asking price is
00:48:27.700 something that they're not fixed on. That's the opening price. Then there's an offer and then
00:48:32.940 another offer and a counter offer and then the inspection and then repairs and contingencies
00:48:36.640 and deadlines and a stack of paperwork that seems to reproduce itself when nobody's looking.
00:48:41.820 That's why it matters that you have the best real estate agent you can find.
00:48:45.900 realestateagentsitrust.com. This is my company. I did it so we can find and vet people that are
00:48:53.340 the best in your area. I use these. When I moved to Florida, I used the real estate agents to sell
00:48:59.520 my house here and another real estate agent to buy a house in Florida. Both of them were from
00:49:05.700 realestateagentsitrust.com realestateagentsitrust.com okay so Thursday the president signed
00:49:16.720 an executive order changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America I love this I mean it's
00:49:25.020 like saying if you don't want things named after America you got the wrong guy it's kind of like
00:49:30.660 if you don't want everything in the Oval Office covered in gold you got the wrong guy
00:49:36.140 Now, just like the gold, the next president can come in and say, I don't like all the gold.
00:49:41.460 The people didn't pay for that.
00:49:43.180 The president did.
00:49:44.260 If you don't like all the gold, don't worry.
00:49:46.720 The next president can come in and take off all the gold.
00:49:49.220 You don't like the name Lake America?
00:49:51.780 Don't worry.
00:49:52.700 The next president can come in and go, yeah, we're not going to be Lake America.
00:49:55.480 It's going to be Lake Ontario.
00:49:57.700 Okay.
00:49:58.840 Asked what the message was.
00:50:00.880 He said there was no message.
00:50:02.840 and then he explained at some length that it was all about Canada. Well, Mark Carney fired back
00:50:10.860 within hours. The name is 400 years old. It predates the Confederation and the Declaration
00:50:17.940 of Independence. Doug Ford added it will be Lake Ontario to the Canadians and the rest of the world
00:50:23.760 now and forever. Well, you don't know that. You don't know that. I sat there and I watched two
00:50:28.880 governments go to war over a word and i thought am i the only one that kind of finds this funny
00:50:34.520 i mean funny like a man in a good suit walking in you know to a glass door you feel bad but you
00:50:41.880 laugh anyway you know i mean the the argument canada is making is the exact argument we've
00:50:49.280 spent 15 years telling people was invalid dan snyder wrote a letter uh to his seasoned ticket
00:50:58.620 holders in 2013. The name was never a label, he said. It was a badge of honor, strength, courage,
00:51:06.260 pride, respect. Roger Goodell wrote almost the same letter to Congress, and the country said,
00:51:11.880 no, no, you don't decide what honors somebody else. You don't. Okay, all right. So the argument
00:51:20.880 one, the team is now the Washington Commanders. Stupid. Now the same argument is back, this time 1.00
00:51:29.000 wearing a maple leaf, and everybody has switched sides without appearing to notice. So let's just
00:51:34.820 review the last 15 years. Indiana became the, the Indians became the Guardians. The Eskimos became 1.00
00:51:43.380 the Elks. The Stamford Indians became the Cardinal. Not Cardinals, the Cardinal, singular, 1.00
00:51:52.980 which I still don't understand. Squaw Valley became the Palisades Tahoe. Dixie State became
00:52:01.140 Utah Tech. Yale renamed a college. Princeton took Woodrow Wilson's name off a school,
00:52:07.520 which in fairness Woodrow Wilson deserved and earned. Aunt Jemima became the Pearl Milling 0.89
00:52:14.940 Company which sounds like a defunct textile operation quite honestly. Uncle Ben's became
00:52:21.040 Ben's Original which is the same guy with the last name removed like he's in witness protection
00:52:28.760 or something. The Eskimo Pie became Edie's Pie. Land O'Lakes removed the woman from the label
00:52:36.400 kept the land she was still sitting on, which I believe is a single most on the nose thing that
00:52:42.860 has happened in the entire decade. Oh, this is occupied territory. Yeah, that's right. But we're
00:52:49.320 going to remove the Indians and then we'll all feel better about it. The Dixie Chicks became just 1.00
00:52:54.700 the chicks. Lady Antebellum became Lady A. The Boy Scouts became Scouting America. Splash Mountain 0.96
00:53:04.420 became Tiana's Bayou Adventure.
00:53:08.260 In software, they renamed the master branch to Maine.
00:53:14.620 So somewhere a computer feels better about itself.
00:53:19.520 And then the words. 0.94
00:53:22.220 Mother, how dare you, became a birthing person. 1.00
00:53:26.800 Breastfeeding became chest feeding. 1.00
00:53:29.060 A convict became a justice-involved individual?
00:53:37.860 An ex-con became a returning citizen.
00:53:41.600 A fat man became plus-sized.
00:53:44.060 A homeless man became unhoused, which did not house anyone, I just want to point out.
00:53:52.680 The master bedroom became the primary bedroom, and a manhole, a hole in the ground that a man
00:54:00.600 climbs into, became a maintenance hole. Hispanics became Latinx or Latinx. I don't know which it is 1.00
00:54:11.600 because it was completely invented for the Hispanics by people who were not Hispanic,
00:54:17.440 which about three or four percent of Hispanics have ever used so and I don't know those Hispanics 0.98
00:54:24.540 I know the Hispanics that are like that's stupid this is not a language change this is a this is 1.00
00:54:31.900 a party nobody came to gender which used to mean the same thing as sex now means whatever the 1.00
00:54:40.100 sentence needs it to mean and before anybody you know on my side gets too comfortable Gulf of Mexico
00:54:47.080 became Gulf of America. Denali went back to McKinley over the objections of Alaska, 0.70
00:54:53.540 which had been asking for Denali for about 40 years. Nine army forts were renamed back,
00:55:00.700 but with a wrinkle because Fort Bragg is Bragg again, but on paper it honors a different Bragg.
00:55:08.600 the pentagon picked up a second name and now a great lake that you know
00:55:16.300 we've always known as lake ontario
00:55:19.780 has a new name so we're all in the game here the lake that has been renamed over and over
00:55:29.040 and over and never once did it take do you know that before the europeans showed up there wasn't
00:55:35.340 even one native name the windat called it ontario meaning the lake is beautiful the lake is big
00:55:46.660 okay big lake beautiful lake that's what they called it they didn't have a name for it
00:55:52.600 the mohawk called it i don't know i'm gonna butcher these names but it's like
00:55:58.620 Cartatowie or something. Different nations, different word, same water. Champlain reaches
00:56:07.240 it down in 1615, and he writes the name as Lac Saint-Louis, after a French king who had been
00:56:17.160 dead for 400 years. Then the French rename it Lac Frontenac, after a sitting governor of
00:56:25.640 new france wherever new france was and this one had teeth because there was a fort at the east
00:56:32.320 end of the lake with the governor's name on it and soldiers in it so maps of the day
00:56:38.020 called it oh something entirely different lake of the iroquois a king a saint a governor a garrison
00:56:47.480 an empire and the word that survived all of them was the one word that meant pretty lake
00:56:55.320 nobody protected it there wasn't a committee ordinary people just kept saying it the maps
00:57:01.280 eventually gave up it was like whatever call it lake ontario which brings me to actual good news
00:57:07.700 and it comes from us in 1917 let me just look this up here real quick in 1917
00:57:15.580 this country renamed sauerkraut liberty cabbage that was done by the democrats by woodrow wilson
00:57:26.060 hamburgers became liberty steak german measles liberty liberty measles dachshunds were liberty
00:57:35.120 pups okay go order liberty cabbage tonight see what they bring you in 2003 this time the republicans
00:57:44.180 house of representatives renamed french fries in its own cafeteria to freedom fries freedom toast
00:57:50.900 too not french toast big announcement cameras statement about our so-called ally blah blah blah
00:57:57.460 in august 2006 the menus quietly said yeah let's just put french fries back on there there wasn't
00:58:03.160 a press conference there wasn't an executive there's no ceremony and the reporters went around
00:58:08.080 asking who changed them back okay both congressmen who made the original change said it wasn't me
00:58:14.760 that's how these things end okay not with a repeal with a shrug because nobody really cares
00:58:21.800 we're going to call it lake ontario forever gulf of america may stick lake ontario i don't i don't
00:58:29.580 know i don't know language is not a policy it's a habit and there are 300 million people
00:58:37.400 holding it and none of them care what's on your letterhead okay i want to give you this sentence
00:58:44.280 and i i just just just listen to this for just a second tell me what's wrong with this a mother
00:58:51.060 a woman and kind of a heavy one through the realtor although the realtor would say plus size 0.98
00:58:57.500 breastfed her son in the master bedroom of a little house down on the gulf of mexico 1.00
00:59:02.760 Fed him Aunt Jemima pancakes and Uncle Ben's rice
00:59:06.260 Gave him an Eskimo pie when he behaved
00:59:08.420 And put him in the Boy Scouts
00:59:09.780 She cried when he finally got out of prison
00:59:12.460 And quit being a convict
00:59:14.060 And started fixing manholes for the city
00:59:16.300 And last summer he drove her north
00:59:18.560 Not towards Mount McKinley
00:59:20.040 Wrong direction
00:59:20.620 Past Cleveland
00:59:21.440 You know where the Indians play
00:59:22.600 Up to a diner on the shore of Lake Ontario
00:59:25.320 Where they split an order of french fries
00:59:27.780 And a side of sauerkraut
00:59:29.260 Argued about the Redskins 0.99
00:59:31.020 And listened to the Dixie Chicks 0.94
00:59:32.620 the whole way home. What's wrong with that? You know what's wrong with that? Every word of that
00:59:39.740 sentence is dead on paper, but every word of that sentence is alive in America's kitchens, okay? 0.92
00:59:51.120 They'll tell you you can't define the word woman. They can. They know exactly what. Ask any one of
00:59:59.000 them at two in the morning in a hospital hallway when it's their own mother in the bed. Is she a
01:00:05.580 woman? Yes. They know. Everybody knows. They're not confused. They're trapped. They're trapped 0.99
01:00:13.320 because they said the thing out loud in front of, you know, a bunch of people and they can't say it
01:00:18.800 in front. They can't use the other word in front of the wrong people because the whole wrong people
01:00:25.560 group will turn on them and go what do you mean you know what a woman is how can you possibly
01:00:30.900 define we don't know what a woman is and so they're trapped that's not evil that's a trap
01:00:37.020 and i've been in a few of my own but i have to tell you mom is always going to be mom
01:00:43.680 she was she was my mom in 1964 she's my mom today there's moms in 1600 and there'll be moms
01:00:53.120 in 2100 and no president no prime minister no committee no mob on the street is going to get 1.00
01:01:00.960 into the middle of that with a two-year-old and that evil word mom
01:01:07.220 i got news for you stop being hysterical just enjoy it because it's hysterical the lake will
01:01:17.900 be Lake Ontario. Not because Canada's winning the argument, not because Trump lost the argument,
01:01:24.320 because it's four syllables that mean that lake is beautiful. And people like saying it. And every
01:01:31.540 empire that ever tried to hand them something new or something better is now a footnote. It's been
01:01:37.120 changed over and over again. It keeps coming back to Lake Ontario. Why are we arguing about a name
01:01:42.880 on the map. The map is not the country. The map is a piece of paper in a drawer in a building.
01:01:52.280 And the people who own the words, they don't work in that building.
01:01:59.720 So please stop with your high and mighty. I can't believe he changed the name. You tried to change
01:02:05.520 the name mom. Please shut the pie hole. At least I'm a guy who will go, I'm just enjoying it for 1.00
01:02:16.180 the last. And I'm selling t-shirts right now online. Get one while they last, while the name
01:02:21.500 lasts. Visit Lake America. I'm enjoying it because I think it's hysterical. But don't come preaching,
01:02:31.820 don't come knocking at anybody's door saying, I can't believe he's changing something as sacred
01:02:37.440 as what, mom? As mom? As sacred as, I don't know, woman? Man? Yeah, yeah. I'll take the Lake Ontario
01:02:49.180 thing every day of the week over all of the language that you have jammed down people's
01:02:55.580 throats. I guess you don't really want to open these doors, you know, because somebody that's
01:03:01.320 not you ends up walking through that same door and doing things you don't like. Learn your lesson
01:03:08.200 yet? Back in a minute. You know, it's really sucks. What really sucks is starting your day out
01:03:15.660 pretty much any day of the week. And then you get up and you're in pain. And you're like,
01:03:22.900 oh, crap. I mean, what sucks is starting my day, especially on a Monday. That sucked enough. Now 0.99
01:03:28.820 I got to hurt? If you're living with pain, you want to get your life back, I may have an answer
01:03:33.420 for you. It's called Relief Factor. It's a 100% drug-free daily supplement. It helps your body

01:03:42.720 addresses the inflammation of your body, which is where the pain starts. It doesn't just mask

01:04:45.400 Trump is so mad at Canada, he renamed Lake Ontario Lake America.
01:04:58.060 Now I've got to buy a new globe again.
01:05:02.700 It's like the fifth time it's happened.
01:05:06.820 And liberals are very pissed at this.
01:05:10.720 They say you can't just go around renaming things to suit your political agenda.
01:05:14.460 just ask any latinx birthing person listen to his audience his audience has changed a year ago his
01:05:24.740 audience wouldn't have known what to do if he would have said that a year ago they would have
01:05:29.600 it would have been dead quiet because they would have been so confused i don't know what to do
01:05:36.360 i've been trained not to laugh at things like that even though it is really really funny i can't
01:05:42.700 laugh at that. This is such a weird time to be alive. I kind of dig it. I'm, I'm, I don't know
01:05:50.040 about you, but I, you know, I'm keeping journals in my life and I suggest you do the same because
01:05:55.920 people, your grandkids are going to be like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, birthing person.
01:06:01.880 And depending on who wins this whole thing, I mean, the Lord wins in the end, truth wins in the end.
01:06:08.280 And so we know who's going to win in the end.
01:06:11.020 But maybe it'll be your great-great-grandchildren that have to read this and go,
01:06:14.680 they really thought they were going to get away with birthing person and no mom?
01:06:20.220 Come on. 0.98
01:06:21.540 No.
01:06:22.340 Write this stuff down because, trust me,
01:06:26.320 eventually some historian will take your diary lost.
01:06:30.580 They'll take your diary and they'll write a book about how crazy these times are.
01:06:35.740 All right. 0.87
01:06:36.120 Burn a launcher. 0.83
01:06:36.680 there is an unwritten law of technology. The minute you buy something, somebody invents a
01:06:42.420 better one. The phones get a better camera. Televisions get thinner. Your car brand gets
01:06:47.320 some feature that makes you feel like you own the one that runs on coal. Well, if you own a Berna
01:06:52.980 SD, Berna has done something about that. For a limited time, you can trade in your SD and get
01:06:59.500 $150 credit towards the new Berna CL or CLXL. Here's the difference. CL is smaller. It's
01:07:08.320 lighter than the SD. It has more power. It has more velocity, more magazine options.

01:08:17.820 I want to tell you a story that happened Saturday.
01:08:27.320 It's a woman on Magnolia Avenue, Saturday afternoon.
01:08:32.040 St. Paul, 700 block of Magnolia Avenue East.
01:08:36.960 Fire Department ran three calls in that city that afternoon.
01:08:42.180 This was just one of them.
01:08:43.360 the call goes out
01:08:47.440 it's a duplex 1.00
01:08:48.200 inside was a 38 year old woman 1.00
01:08:51.240 named Bonnie Pierce
01:08:52.540 she had two daughters
01:08:53.860 she's 38 years old
01:08:56.740 she has four daughters
01:09:00.520 and a grandson
01:09:01.440 but two were in the house
01:09:05.320 fire came up fast 1.00
01:09:08.740 one of the girls Aurora 1.00
01:09:10.020 was trapped in a room 1.00
01:09:11.540 so she 1.00
01:09:12.340 the daughter kicked the air conditioning unit out of the window frame and climbed through the hole
01:09:18.700 that she had made remember that i mean where did where did she learn that learned it from somebody
01:09:23.520 saw it someplace but brilliant bonnie gets out too she was outside air in her lungs grass under her
01:09:31.140 feet the whole rest of her life in front of her and then she counts one daughter on the lawn the
01:09:38.180 other one grace the baby the toddler not on the lawn wait wait wait what happens next took about
01:09:47.640 four seconds to decide everything in her life she immediately turned around she runs back in
01:09:55.100 now here's what firefighters walked into just a couple of minutes later the interim chief
01:10:02.280 described it as heavy fire, extreme heat, zero visibility, meaning you can't see your own glove
01:10:10.200 in front of your mask. You have to search that house by feel. You go down on your hands and
01:10:16.020 knees in the dark in a room that is trying to kill you, and you feel around on the floor.
01:10:22.940 Firefighter gets there. He feels a body on the floor of the bedroom. It's an adult woman.
01:10:29.720 She's unresponsive. 0.51
01:10:32.460 He gets his arms under her to carry her out,
01:10:35.600 and when he lifts her, he finds a toddler underneath her.
01:10:41.300 She had made herself into a shelter or a roof,
01:10:46.020 in the dark, blind, out of time.
01:10:50.060 She had found her baby, and she had gotten on top of her,
01:10:53.940 And she stayed there, knowing that her body would burn slower and save her child possibly.
01:11:04.760 The firefighters carried both of them out to the front yard and worked on them there.
01:11:09.240 Bonnie had burns over 48% of her body.
01:11:13.080 She had been without oxygen for about 15 minutes.
01:11:16.740 They got her to the hospital.
01:11:18.800 She lived two more days.
01:11:21.700 She just died.
01:11:23.940 Grace is in the hospital.
01:11:27.960 She's expected to make a full recovery.
01:11:33.280 That's the whole story, and it doesn't need anything added to it.
01:11:38.060 What an amazing story. 0.99
01:11:41.200 What an amazing mom.
01:11:44.900 Her sister, Jenny, stood up at a press conference
01:11:47.720 at the fire department headquarters and said,
01:11:49.980 Bonnie died a hero, and that's what she'll always be.
01:11:53.660 She said her sister was the kind of woman who'd give you the shirt off her back
01:11:58.080 and apparently everything underneath her shirt.
01:12:02.120 Her mom, Terry, spoke last.
01:12:05.960 Whatever else you hear today, hear this.
01:12:10.280 She said she'd lost her daughter
01:12:12.520 and she'll miss her every single day for the rest of her life.
01:12:17.240 And if there was some store you could go in and buy your child back, 0.74
01:12:21.000 she would have driven there already 1.00
01:12:24.420 she said I just want my baby back 1.00
01:12:27.640 neighbors came in 0.97
01:12:32.800 they covered that duplex in flowers
01:12:37.720 and they wrote on the sidewalk in chalk
01:12:41.440 one word over and over
01:12:43.140 one word
01:12:44.200 hero
01:12:45.500 hero
01:12:48.560 the investigation into the fire on how it started
01:12:57.500 is still open
01:12:58.500 that's not the part of the story
01:13:01.360 that we need right now
01:13:03.400 because you probably haven't even heard her name
01:13:07.480 until now
01:13:08.080 and that's probably because
01:13:11.320 there isn't anything to argue about
01:13:12.660 there's no verdict coming
01:13:15.000 there are no two sides of this 1.00
01:13:17.400 is just a woman 1.00
01:13:20.720 who did the thing, 1.00
01:13:24.760 the one thing that moms do.
01:13:28.920 And there's no fight, 1.00
01:13:29.900 and cameras always go where the fight is.
01:13:33.200 I wanted to take some time today
01:13:35.000 and just talk about this amazing mom. 1.00
01:13:39.140 You know where the cameras are? 1.00
01:13:40.120 The cameras are in two courtrooms.
01:13:43.520 In the Bronx,
01:13:44.560 A judge named Audrey Stone found a woman, Demone Fleming, not responsible for a reason of mental disease or defect. 0.84
01:13:57.140 In other words, reason of insanity. I can't say that anymore.
01:14:01.840 In 2022, at a family shelter, she killed her two little boys.
01:14:07.320 One was three, one was 11 months old.
01:14:09.480 now you're seeing the headlines if you see this story that she walked free because that 0.69
01:14:15.820 enrages people but she didn't walk free in new york that finding means she gets committed
01:14:20.400 potentially for years potentially for a very very long time she's not going to be walking out of
01:14:25.760 there any anytime soon and the psychiatrist who testified said she was grossly psychotic
01:14:33.660 hallucinating convinced the world was ending convinced something had gotten inside of her
01:14:38.680 body. The psychiatrist was hired by the prosecution, the state's own expert. Prosecutors
01:14:45.560 looked at what they had and agreed she shouldn't stand a normal trial. That's not a loophole. 0.98
01:14:52.120 That's how the process works. That's what it's for. The father of those boys sat in the courtroom
01:14:58.420 and heard the ruling. He told the New York Times he forgives her. He said she loved those children.
01:15:08.680 I don't know what to do about all that except take my hat off to the man.
01:15:15.580 Pray for her.
01:15:17.940 Now in Plymouth, Mass., the cameras are certainly there.
01:15:21.060 Twelve people, nine women, three men went back into a room this morning deciding the case of Lindsay Clancy.
01:15:31.080 She was a labor and delivery nurse in Duxbury.
01:15:35.880 in January 23 she killed her three children Cora was five Dawson was three Callan was eight months
01:15:43.940 old then she tried to kill herself and lived nobody disputes what she did the fight is over
01:15:51.220 what was happening in her mind and I have to tell you the more I watch this but I am not in the room
01:15:57.100 for all of it I'm only seeing highlights I'm only seeing the things that people who are posting no
01:16:02.720 will outrage and so it will go viral and i have been outraged at times i see this and say i don't
01:16:11.120 believe her at all her lawyer lawyer says postpartum psychosis and bad medicine and you
01:16:18.580 know worse care she had been discharged from a psychiatric psychiatric hospital less than three 0.95
01:16:24.160 weeks before prosecution says no she knows exactly what she was doing that's what's sitting in front
01:16:30.400 of the jury today. Twelve people are carrying it. I don't know. They heard 85 witnesses.
01:16:37.560 I haven't heard any of them. I've heard bits and pieces. But let me tell you what those
01:16:42.580 cases have in common, and it is not the diagnosis. There is such a thing as a mother genuinely,
01:16:52.640 medically out of her mind. Postpartum psychosis is real. It's rare, and it's savage, and it
01:16:59.620 turns a person into somebody they are not.
01:17:03.000 And the women that it happens to, they're not villains. 0.99
01:17:06.500 They're casualties. 0.94
01:17:08.640 But there is also such a thing as evil.
01:17:14.320 And that evil has learned to speak the language of illness
01:17:18.380 because that's the language that gets you out of it.
01:17:24.680 Telling the difference between those two
01:17:26.840 is probably the hardest job we would ask ordinary citizens to do.
01:17:31.140 We asked 12 people who were folding laundry six weeks ago
01:17:35.200 to look into a stranger's mind at the moment in the past
01:17:38.800 and say, that's what was there.
01:17:41.660 I mean, how do you do that?
01:17:44.080 But we ask it anyway, because that's the other alternatives,
01:17:47.900 just locking up sick people or excusing the wicked ones.
01:17:51.700 Both of those are a country I don't want to live in.
01:17:54.040 but notice what makes it hard
01:17:58.180 it's hard because
01:18:01.620 we all agree on the standard
01:18:03.740 every single one of us
01:18:06.220 the prosecutor and the defense attorney
01:18:08.780 and the psychiatrist and the grandmother in the gallery
01:18:11.620 nobody in that room is arguing
01:18:14.420 what a mother is supposed to be
01:18:18.480 they're arguing
01:18:23.440 about whether this one could still reach it.
01:18:29.340 The standard's not in dispute.
01:18:31.640 It's rare.
01:18:34.680 The standard is the reason there's a trial at all.
01:18:38.620 And I'd submit to you that the standard doesn't live in a law book
01:18:42.380 or a diagnostic manual.
01:18:45.600 It got carried out of a burning bedroom in St. Paul, Minnesota
01:18:49.220 just a few days ago by a firefighter
01:18:51.860 who found a toddler underneath a woman's body.
01:18:58.120 We live in a society that can't define what a mother is. 1.00
01:19:01.180 That is what a mother is.
01:19:03.900 Not the sentiment of it, the physical fact of it. 0.99
01:19:09.480 It's the thing that gets between the fire and the child.
01:19:15.360 Every time, without a meeting, without a poll,
01:19:19.100 without weighing the options in about four seconds.
01:19:23.640 She's down on her knees, feeling the floor for her child in the dark.
01:19:33.640 Man, we spend an enormous amount of time in this country arguing about the exceptions.
01:19:40.160 And the exceptions are worth arguing about.
01:19:42.520 A civilization is judged partly on how carefully it handles the exceptions, but it's the rule that holds the roof up.
01:19:55.660 And the rule is a 38-year-old woman with four daughters and a grandbaby on an ordinary Saturday in a duplex on fire in Minnesota.
01:20:04.580 Grace is in a hospital bed right now
01:20:13.080 she's a toddler 1.00
01:20:14.480 she has no idea 0.96
01:20:16.320 she's going to get better
01:20:19.220 and she's going to go home to a family
01:20:20.820 that's one person short
01:20:23.460 her mother
01:20:25.040 and she's going to grow up
01:20:27.440 and one day
01:20:32.660 somebody will sit her down
01:20:34.020 and tell her the whole thing
01:20:36.600 and she'll understand it.
01:20:40.700 She'll understand her sister kicked out a window,
01:20:44.300 that her mom got out of that house
01:20:46.440 and then turned around 1.00
01:20:47.620 because that's what moms do.
01:20:52.860 And that's the reason she's alive, 0.94
01:20:55.740 that her mom was the standard
01:20:58.220 and her mom went back in.
01:21:04.800 General rule about home maintenance, if the job requires me to climb above second-story windows, it's not my job anymore.
01:21:13.220 I fell out of a second-story window 30 years ago, 35 years ago, and my back has not been the same.

01:22:58.320 well it's monday gang welcome to it um jason can you tell me i cannot find if if this
01:23:12.800 story that that i heard is true or not and that is did we just dig a new canal
01:23:21.880 through Oman.
01:23:26.380 Do we just do that?
01:23:29.560 It's the weird thing.
01:23:30.800 We're not getting an official confirmation,
01:23:33.200 which actually makes sense.
01:23:35.460 They're not going to confirm that right now
01:23:37.320 because that was the rumor going around,
01:23:39.980 starting around Friday or so,
01:23:41.460 and multiple different bigger names
01:23:44.280 were commenting about it,
01:23:45.840 said that if this is true,
01:23:48.640 it is on the level of,
01:23:51.520 moving mountains basically but the rumor was is that they dredged out a certain area to allow
01:23:58.100 larger ships to get through and it was in a location due to other islands that are in the
01:24:02.840 Strait of Hormuz and the curvature of the earth that Iran did not have a clear shot of you know
01:24:07.520 a clear eyes view on uh oil tankers that are going through that part I mean if that is true
01:24:13.960 It is absolutely amazing.
01:24:18.180 I'm just, I'm writing to somebody who will know this and can give me a straight answer on it.
01:24:22.740 Yeah.
01:24:24.560 Yeah.
01:24:25.380 I can't imagine the administration would actually confirm, yes, this is what's happening right now, because they don't want too many eyes on it.
01:24:31.660 But there were people that were pulling up, you know, satellite imagery, things like that, showing that there were ships going through it.
01:24:39.060 if there was a major naval operation,
01:24:42.000 U.S. naval operation, to pull this off.
01:24:44.280 That's thinking way outside the box.
01:24:46.340 That has to be one of the greatest things we've ever done.
01:24:50.280 I mean, you know, I'm going to talk about this oil thing.
01:24:52.940 If I were Carney, I'd be freaking out right now.
01:24:57.300 Not for the short term, but for long term.
01:25:00.480 I'd be freaking out.
01:25:01.960 The president just announced on Friday
01:25:04.100 the largest deal on oil makes us by far the largest market for gas or the largest provider
01:25:14.200 for oil and gas by far. And it just has sewn this all up into a nice little hemisphere
01:25:23.480 that doesn't have to worry about getting its oil from any place else. I want to I want to go into
01:25:29.400 that but notice carney doesn't know that's coming the president knew that was coming
01:25:34.100 and everybody's like you can't do that because of oil and gas really what now canada
01:25:59.400 Swipe the flame
01:26:07.380 Pass it on
01:26:09.940 Crank the game
01:26:12.500 Let back us on
01:26:15.000 Let back us on
01:26:17.340 Na na na na
01:26:19.420 Na na na na
01:26:24.420 the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program
01:26:38.180 jeez there is some amazing things happening in the world both good and bad um one of the things
01:26:48.920 is the National Association of Christian Lawmakers
01:26:53.640 has just sent a letter to President Trump
01:26:56.400 asking him to create an expedited legal pathway
01:26:59.200 for Jewish Canadians to relocate to the United States
01:27:03.140 using existing refugee humanitarian visa authorities
01:27:06.200 while keeping the normal security
01:27:08.380 and admissibility screening in place.
01:27:11.540 The letter claimed more than 2,000 Jewish Canadians
01:27:14.180 have expressed an interest in leaving Canada
01:27:17.580 over safety concerns, harassment, vandalism, threats,
01:27:22.080 violence against their schools, synagogues, and businesses.
01:27:27.720 This is, I mean, I got to get into this.
01:27:31.300 Last time this happened was 1939.
01:27:35.940 We're here.
01:27:37.120 We are here in a different world.
01:27:39.260 Now, let me tell you something good that happened.
01:27:43.360 Something really good that happened is what happened with Venezuela.
01:27:47.200 The biggest oil deal in world history just happened.
01:27:51.240 Now, there's some downsides to this and some things you need to understand.
01:27:54.880 But this will show you exactly what the world, what Trump is doing with the world.
01:28:00.680 And I told you that he was making the Western Hemisphere and the United States as bulletproof as possible so we can stand for the next 100 years.
01:28:12.540 That's what he's doing.
01:28:13.900 And the proof is in the pudding.
01:28:15.240 And if I were Canada, I would be very concerned about this long term, very concerned. 0.98
01:28:21.380 You're on the wrong side with China. 0.89
01:28:23.460 But let me give you the seedling here, the story of what happened with the oil deal that he announced on Friday.
01:28:32.300 We do that in 60 seconds.

01:29:45.720 it's been a lot going on. There is a lot going on, uh, in today's, in today's world and flock
01:29:53.340 cameras are on the list again today. I want to talk to you a little bit more about this because
01:29:57.920 we are aiming our anger at the wrong place.
01:30:02.320 And I don't know why you say anger.
01:30:04.540 We think we're going for a solution
01:30:07.580 when we are absolutely not by attacking Flock.
01:30:10.740 And I want to explain that
01:30:12.220 because these cameras are dangerous.
01:30:14.840 They need to be not a part of our society.
01:30:19.100 But Flock is one company, and I want to explain that.
01:30:22.560 But first, let me take you on Friday night.
01:30:26.100 On social media, the president announced what he called the biggest oil deal in world history.
01:30:32.200 Here's what it is in plain English.
01:30:34.440 The United States has entered an agreement with Venezuela and the acting government.
01:30:40.720 A private company is getting created, and the United States takes a stake in it alongside with a private operator whose name has not yet been released.
01:30:50.640 That company is granted the right to develop Venezuelan oil fields for 100 years.
01:30:57.960 America gets 55% of what comes out of the ground.
01:31:02.060 We have an ownership share, plus the right to buy the oil at cost instead of the market price.
01:31:09.580 You want to know how we're going to fill our strategic oil reserves?
01:31:12.880 This is it.
01:31:14.440 Now, the number attached is 65 billion barrels of proven reserves.
01:31:21.220 If that holds, that new company becomes the second largest corporate holder of oil on earth, only behind the Saudis.
01:31:32.520 The president says it more than doubles American reserves and costs the taxpayers nothing.
01:31:39.400 How is that possible?
01:31:40.940 Well, let me explain.
01:31:42.960 Now, Venezuela's side is supposed to be roughly $100 billion in private investment
01:31:48.560 and something north of $200 billion in their treasury.
01:31:52.080 That's the deal.
01:31:54.020 Now, here's the part that decides whether any of this matters.
01:31:57.920 There are two things in this country called reserves, and they are not the same thing.
01:32:03.380 The first oil reserve is the oil that's in our ground.
01:32:07.400 That's geology.
01:32:08.280 It's a number a survey writes down in a book after he looks at rock, okay?
01:32:13.140 65 billion barrels in Venezuela is that kind of number.
01:32:17.480 It's a promise about the future, and a good one,
01:32:20.840 because Venezuela is sitting on more proven crude oil than any country anywhere on planet Earth.
01:32:27.240 The second kind of reserve is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
01:32:31.900 That's not geology. That's a pantry, okay?
01:32:35.880 Along the Gulf Coast in Texas and Louisiana, there are these natural salt domes, and they're buried underground.
01:32:44.480 And what you do is you pump water down, the water dissolves all of the salt, and you're left with this giant cavern the size, honestly, of a skyscraper turned upside down.
01:32:56.400 We did that, and then we fill it with oil.
01:32:59.360 Now, Congress authorized it in 1975 after the Arab embargo that left Americans sitting in gas lines wondering how the most powerful country in the world just ran out of oil.
01:33:10.780 And we started filling it in 1977.
01:33:13.920 It holds 714 million barrels.
01:33:18.040 In 2010, it was full.
01:33:22.660 726 million barrels of oil.
01:33:25.540 Last week, it was announced we're down to 289 million barrels.
01:33:31.760 That's the lowest it has been since November of 1982, back when we were still filling it for the first time.
01:33:38.640 And it was on its way up.
01:33:41.540 It's on its way down now.
01:33:43.860 We started the year at 415 million barrels.
01:33:47.640 In March, when Iran choked off the Strait of Hormuz, the president ordered 172 million barrels released alongside other nations that were doing the same thing.
01:33:57.280 Every nation is in this, even China, in the same place we are with oil reserves.
01:34:02.920 OK, real oil, the pantry kind of oil reserve.
01:34:06.380 Now, the floor is around 70 million barrels.
01:34:08.980 Below that, you can't physically operate the caverns, and the pipe runs out of them, runs about 4.4 million barrels a day at maximum.
01:34:20.880 That's about 13 days from a presidential signature to a truck at your station.
01:34:25.840 That's how long it takes.
01:34:27.560 So you set the two numbers next to each other.
01:34:30.320 65 billion barrels under Venezuela that we just purchased, 289 million barrels under Louisiana.
01:34:42.060 One of them is a lease.
01:34:45.020 The other is fuel.
01:34:48.020 You cannot put a 100-year contract into a salt dome.
01:34:53.200 Now, we've been here before, and this is an important lesson to learn.
01:34:57.240 There was a Frenchman named Pierre Poivre.
01:35:02.380 His name literally means Peter Pepper.
01:35:05.160 So I'm going to call him Peter Pepper.
01:35:09.160 Okay, so Peter Pepper picks a pepper.
01:35:12.540 In his time, nutmeg was the big thing.
01:35:16.200 Nutmeg came from a handful of tiny islands in the Dutch East Indies and nowhere else on the planet.
01:35:22.680 And the Dutch owned all nutmeg. 0.96
01:35:24.560 And they controlled the trees. 0.97
01:35:26.460 They controlled the price, and they burned the surplus stock just to keep the price high.
01:35:32.680 Don't you wish?
01:35:33.420 Because I could cut nutmeg out of my life like that.
01:35:36.620 Don't you wish that was our big thing?
01:35:38.260 Anyway, they wanted a monopoly so badly that when they made a deal with the British, they let New Amsterdam go and keep a nutmeg island the size of a golf course.
01:35:50.840 Where's New Amsterdam?
01:35:52.580 Does anybody know?
01:35:55.420 Manhattan.
01:35:56.460 so peter pepper thought a monopoly on a plant was an absurd thing to accept so he went and he stole
01:36:06.360 it and he lost his right arm to a cannonball years before he tried and failed for two decades
01:36:13.660 his first seedling died in the ground at port louis uh and uh and he was he had convinced somebody
01:36:22.900 that he had killed, or somebody had convinced him.
01:36:28.700 I can't remember exactly.
01:36:29.760 Anyway, people thought that he had killed that plant on purpose,
01:36:32.660 but he kept going.
01:36:34.440 In 1770, he finally got healthy nutmeg and clove seedlings
01:36:40.180 out of the islands and onto the soil where he was.
01:36:45.780 The monopoly didn't end.
01:36:47.180 He finally had the trees, but it didn't end
01:36:49.120 because nutmeg doesn't care about your shipping schedule.
01:36:53.480 It takes the better part of a decade before it gives you a single nutmeg.
01:36:59.000 When the first one finally ripened in the garden,
01:37:03.020 the colony threw a festival.
01:37:05.160 But the festival ended
01:37:06.460 because the seedlings were just seedlings.
01:37:12.480 Today, the little island of Grenada shows so much nutmeg
01:37:17.340 that they put it on the flag, which brings us to Canada.
01:37:22.740 Canada right now sends about 90% of its crude to the United States,
01:37:28.020 roughly 4 million barrels a day, and supplies like 60% of everything we import.
01:37:33.380 It's heavy, it's sour crude out of Alberta, the oil sands,
01:37:37.760 and our Gulf Coast refineries are built specifically to refine that.
01:37:43.460 That's why when Washington imposed 50% tariffs on Canadian furniture and dairy and plywood, it deliberately left crude oil off the list.
01:37:55.140 And it's why Prime Minister Carney, after walking away from the table on the 21st, started reminding audiences out loud how much energy comes from Canada.
01:38:05.960 Okay, he didn't know that we were about to do the deal with Venezuela.
01:38:10.180 Does it take Canada's leverage away?
01:38:14.880 On paper, yes, in about a decade.
01:38:19.240 Venezuelan crude is heavy and sour, the same barrel that Alberta sends us.
01:38:25.600 It is the one other place on earth with that much of it, and that's a genuine substitute, and Ottawa knows it.
01:38:35.560 So, Carney has just been handed a very short leash.
01:38:39.240 you got like 10 years and i know that's a long time to us but in the grand scheme of things
01:38:44.360 that's not in the room this week it's not going to make a change venezuela is only pumping about
01:38:51.860 1.2 million barrels a day right now and at its peak three and a half million now that's back in
01:38:58.740 the 90s to stand in for canada it has to triple that and that requires rigs and upgraders and
01:39:07.360 pipelines and a hundred billion dollars. I mean, these are the seedlings. The seedlings are not
01:39:13.040 nutmeg. You don't win overnight. And notice which direction the SPR cuts, the strategic oil reserve
01:39:21.260 or petroleum reserve. The normal answer to a supplier squeezing you is to open up the pantry
01:39:27.480 and wait him out. But our pantry is at 40% of its capacity, the lowest in 44 years. And there's a
01:39:34.100 war on you know empty reserve does not strengthen our hand it hurries us okay then there's a thing
01:39:44.240 that canada is certainly saying to itself is how long is that contract going to last you
01:39:48.180 because it was signed with an acting president installed after we took the last one out
01:39:53.040 a hundred year lease is only as good as the government that granted it and the one after that
01:40:00.920 Now, if we're smart, and I think we are, we made a very good deal with Venezuela.
01:40:06.920 This is very good for them.
01:40:08.900 Now, will it be in 50 years? I don't know.
01:40:11.800 But everybody that's an energy executive is looking at Venezuela,
01:40:17.460 and they're asking what this looks like 5 years, 10 years, 20 years down the road.
01:40:23.220 And that's not a partisan question. That's due diligence.
01:40:26.300 Now, the honest read of this deal is this oil does not have to come out of Saudi Arabia or cross the Strait of Hormuz.
01:40:40.000 It doesn't need a carrier group to escort it.
01:40:43.620 Anything that reduces the number of choke points between us and a tanker is worth having.
01:40:48.960 If you're going to be dependent on somebody, a neighbor beats an enemy all the way on the other side of the world.
01:40:57.460 A hundred-year horizon is the right horizon for refineries, okay?
01:41:02.340 So this argument is real, and it doesn't require anybody to lie about the calendar, but the calendar is the whole thing.
01:41:10.420 The mistake is not making the deal.
01:41:13.900 The mistake is bargaining today with a barrel that arrives in 2035,
01:41:19.280 leaning on the lease while the pantry runs down
01:41:22.620 and the man who actually fills your tank every morning
01:41:25.300 is standing across the table watching you do it.
01:41:28.780 Peter Pepper was right, but it still took him 20 years and cost him his arm.
01:41:35.060 The Dutch didn't lose the nutmeg trade the day the seedlings left.
01:41:39.240 They lost it the day the trees bore fruit, and this is not going to bear fruit for maybe 10 years.
01:41:48.060 We're planting the trees.
01:41:50.320 We are going to be getting this oil to fill the pantry.
01:41:58.320 We should never negotiate with a harvest we don't have yet, and we don't have it.
01:42:04.800 But I don't think the president was negotiating with that. I think this whole thing was about Canadian politics and trying to side with China over us. And that's a losing game for them in the long run because the president is sewing up this hemisphere.
01:42:24.560 He is changing everything. And that's why Carney is so motivated to go work with China, because China knows it. I have met with prime ministers around the world now in the last six months. And I've met with three of them and all three of them have said the same thing.
01:42:44.420 I know exactly what your president is doing, and it doesn't really include us.
01:42:49.220 It doesn't include Europe.
01:42:52.000 It doesn't include the Middle East.
01:42:54.280 It's all about the Western Hemisphere, and he is rewriting all of the rules to make you guys and the Western Hemisphere the power of the world that can stand and survive on its own.
01:43:08.140 We know that.
01:43:08.940 We're not happy about it.
01:43:10.460 We know that.
01:43:11.080 Why don't the American people know that?
01:43:14.420 you've wanted a president that looks down the road.
01:43:20.940 Now, the problem is we have to have a president that is also not losing an arm like Peter Pepper
01:43:26.360 and just looking 20 years down the road.
01:43:28.680 We need somebody that's looking today as well.
01:43:32.380 But you should know, this is the first time in my life that we have a president that is not just looking at today.
01:43:41.180 He is building this to last for decades, and that's the real problem we have had.
01:43:49.580 We have been short-term thinkers for too long while the rest of the world plans decades ahead.
01:43:55.360 We have not.
01:43:56.400 We are only planning four years down the line.
01:44:01.260 This is a good move.
01:44:03.280 It's not going to help us tomorrow, but it is going to help us in 20 years from now, maybe 10 years from now.
01:44:09.700 and it could just refill our strategic oil reserve faster than that all right let me tell you about
01:44:18.100 simply safe simply safe is 20 years old this year think about how much technology has changed 2006
01:44:23.880 i started doing work with um simply safe maybe it was 2007 um the phone was barely smart your
01:44:31.360 television was three feet thick you remember how heavy those things were security was mostly about
01:44:37.560 an alarm that made noise after something bad had already happened. 20 years later, SimpliSafe
01:44:43.480 has completely changed that idea because the best time to deal with a problem is when the problem
01:44:48.900 is still outside. You know, a raccoon, better outside. Hornet's nest, definitely outside.
01:44:54.320 A guy you don't know wandering around your house at two in the morning, I'd like to keep that one
01:44:58.680 outside with a raccoon in the hornet's nest. SimpliSafe has a smart AI-powered outdoor camera
01:45:05.120 system that detects suspicious activities and alerts a live U.S.-based agent who can assess
01:45:11.900 what is happening, intervene through the camera to scare off the trespasser, to call 911, dispatch
01:45:19.220 if you need it, if they think that there's trouble there. SimpliSafe has been protecting

01:45:41.140 order right in this show you know how did you hear about us in that survey let them know i sent you
01:45:46.460 there is no safe like simply safe 10 seconds station id
01:46:02.780 So, Jason, I am really concerned about this story.
01:46:08.280 You just talked about it with the insiders about a half an hour ago that is coming from the National Association of Christian Lawmakers.
01:46:16.780 they sent a letter to president trump last thursday that said we need to create an expedited
01:46:24.720 legal pathway for jewish canadians to relocate to the united states using existing refugee
01:46:30.440 humanitarian visa authorities while keeping normal security and a misability and a misability
01:46:35.420 screening they're saying that 2 000 jewish canadians have expressed interest to come here
01:46:41.600 I believe that it is the, I believe it is Oklahoma that said, didn't their governor just say, we'll make room for those Jewish refugees if need be?
01:46:55.180 Yes.
01:46:56.700 This is a little terrifying because we're on fire as well.
01:47:01.080 Things are really bad here and getting worse in the United States.
01:47:04.200 But, you know, what's really scary is the last time this question was live was 1939, and the Democratic answer through FDR was no.
01:47:20.340 More in a minute. Let me tell you about Cozy Earth. There are people in history who deserve status.
01:47:25.920 the soviet officer who in 1983 got a warning that american nuclear missiles were incoming
01:47:34.160 he decided the warning was wrong and he went against everybody and he i mean he saved he
01:47:40.640 prevented nuclear war this is literally the guy who saved the world from nuclear annihilation he
01:47:46.600 deserves a statue willis carrier the guy who invented modern air conditioning build him two
01:47:51.980 statues and somewhere lost to history is the first being you know human being that discovered the
01:47:57.220 value of a cool soft sheet i want a statue for that guy too you know because there were a few
01:48:03.520 things um very few things that are better than a cold comfortable sheet it's the reason i love
01:48:11.460 cozy earth i sleep on their sheets every night they're incredibly soft smooth lightweight they're
01:48:16.340 naturally breathable. They are designed to wick away moisture, especially nice if you're a hot
01:48:21.780 sleeper and I am. They come with a hundred night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty. So they're
01:48:27.220 not going to build a statue to any of these guys, but you can sleep well at night and sleep cool
01:48:31.780 with CozyEarth.com. CozyEarth.com, promo code BECK.
01:48:46.340 okay i don't want to be a little black rain cloud i just want to tell you i want to tell you the
01:49:12.880 truth as i understand it we're making great progress if you're against the flock cameras
01:49:18.540 i'm against flock cameras i think it's a general warrant and it is unconstitutional so flock safety
01:49:25.560 is on the run okay cities are canceling their contracts and people are climbing poles and
01:49:31.480 cutting cameras down which i also don't agree with uh do this the right way and the pressure
01:49:37.120 is mounting this week the ceo went on tv you know and and and asked for a national compromise
01:49:44.240 which is what a company says when it no longer sets the terms so autumn's autumn billings uh
01:49:51.620 just wrote an article uh for reason called getting rid of flock isn't enough to solve america's
01:49:57.900 surveillance problem and she's absolutely right the headline really is the whole argument flock
01:50:05.220 has 120,000 cameras in 49 states and reads more than 20 billion plates a month. It is the biggest,
01:50:13.060 but it's not the only one. Why aren't we talking about Motorola? You know, Motorola network,
01:50:19.160 they scan over half a billion plates a month and they set no default limit on how long that data
01:50:25.880 is kept the nypd uh holds five years of data axon that's the old taser company is selling the same
01:50:36.720 service to departments that already buy its body cameras the aclu analyst quoted in the piece says
01:50:42.960 the thing worth remembering don't take comfort in what a company happens to be doing this month
01:50:48.180 put the protection in law okay if you beat flock and change nothing else you haven't won
01:50:57.100 you all you've done is picked a vendor you've put one vendor out i mean when you look at this
01:51:03.160 thing from that point of view it's almost like this whole thing is a plan of motor i'm not saying
01:51:08.680 it is but it's like a plan from motorola it's like motorola sitting around how can we put flock
01:51:13.740 had a bit. I know. Let's start a campaign against flock cameras. They'll never see us. I mean,
01:51:19.280 that's how crazy this is. Now, here's the part that should worry you, because it's not about
01:51:24.900 cameras. February 10th, my birthday, 1995, the White House sent Congress a bill. Nothing happened.
01:51:35.580 Smoking crater. No funerals on television. Nobody afraid. Yet the White House sends this bill.
01:51:42.180 It was the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act.
01:51:47.280 And what did these bills do?
01:51:50.140 It expanded wiretap authority.
01:51:53.120 It loosened the rules on records.
01:51:55.780 It made it easier to use secret evidence.
01:51:59.580 Who introduced it?
01:52:01.220 Joe Biden.
01:52:05.600 Schumer carried it in the House.
01:52:08.120 and Spector and Feinstein signed on, okay?
01:52:14.360 Civil Liberties organizations, ACLU, et cetera, they went crazy.
01:52:20.640 Congress yawned.
01:52:21.860 It went nowhere, okay?
01:52:24.680 Two weeks later, two weeks later, a truck bomb took down the federal building in Oklahoma City.
01:52:33.000 That April, the New York Times read a headline. If you saw it, you probably didn't forget it either. The blast, it said, turned a snail into a racehorse because the same bill was introduced. Same paper. Nobody wrote anything new. All they had to do was wait.
01:52:56.660 now congress at the time didn't give them all of it when the anti-terrorism act finally passed in
01:53:05.780 1996 the surveillance provisions had been stripped out by a republican congress over a democratic
01:53:13.860 president's objection clinton signed it anyway and in his signing statement he listed his complaints
01:53:20.640 in writing. He asked for roving wiretaps so agents could follow a suspect from phone to phone.
01:53:27.200 Congress refused. He asked for easier access to hotel records and phone records, but Congress
01:53:32.780 stripped it out. Read that list again in the fall of 2001, and you're reading the table of contents
01:53:41.460 of the Patriot Act. What did it give us? Roving wiretaps, section 206. Access your records without
01:53:50.580 anyone telling you section 215. The one that people ended up calling the library provision.
01:53:59.760 Okay. It was signed 45 days after the towers came down. More than 300 pages assembled in the last
01:54:08.400 hours voted on by members who mostly hadn't read it. Years later, Joe Biden said it out loud on
01:54:14.960 the floor again on television and john ashcroft sent up you know his bill
01:54:22.520 this thing was not written by john ashcroft it was not written by uh joe biden okay
01:54:34.320 he said that they wrote it after oklahoma well after oklahoma city no he didn't he wrote it
01:54:42.140 two months before. Then there's the name, USA Patriot. The Patriot Act is actually USA Patriot.
01:54:52.320 You know what USA stands for? Uniting and Strengthening America. Oh, is that what it is?
01:55:00.560 United and Strengthening America by P, providing appropriate tools required to intercept and
01:55:08.720 obstruct terrorism. Patriot. USA Patriot Act. Now, nobody wrote that sentence and then noticed
01:55:18.540 a happy coincidence. A staffer on the House Judiciary Committee picked the word first and
01:55:25.160 built a sentence backward to fit it because he knows we're suckers. William Sapphire called 0.86
01:55:32.200 called this
01:55:33.640 immoral.
01:55:37.700 They had named it before they finished it
01:55:39.720 because the name was the
01:55:41.640 argument. Go home to your district
01:55:43.740 and explain that you voted against
01:55:45.800 the Patriot Act after we just
01:55:47.840 had this. That's the
01:55:49.680 machine, okay? That's how
01:55:51.820 the machine works. I'm
01:55:53.820 going to get back to the flock cameras here,
01:55:55.560 but I want you to know that's the
01:55:57.760 machine and there is a drawer
01:55:59.320 and that drawer is never empty
01:56:01.680 Both parties have a drawer. They have a key. And none of it requires a conspiracy. It just requires
01:56:08.860 patience. It requires people who think they're better protecting you than you are. They think
01:56:15.820 they know you and can run your life better than you can. They think that they're above the
01:56:23.400 Constitution. In 1928, the Supreme Court heard the case of a Seattle bootlegger. Federal agents
01:56:32.280 had tapped his phone lines from the basement of his building and from the street outside his
01:56:37.960 house. They never set foot on his property. They also committed a crime doing it because Washington
01:56:44.880 State wiretapping was against the law in the time. The court said five to four that the evidence was
01:56:51.860 good no trespass no search nobody's papers were rummaged nobody's door was kicked in the wire was
01:56:59.320 outside of his house so the fourth amendment just didn't apply well one justice dissented
01:57:06.260 and wrote a sentence that should hang in every city council room all across america okay
01:57:14.960 because experience should teach us
01:57:18.140 to be most on guard to protect liberty
01:57:22.380 when the government's purposes are for good.
01:57:27.440 Men born to freedom, this is what he wrote,
01:57:30.200 are alert to evil-minded rulers.
01:57:33.660 The greater the danger,
01:57:35.420 the greater danger is a man of zeal,
01:57:39.960 well-meaning,
01:57:41.920 and without understanding.
01:57:44.960 they're just trying to protect you.
01:57:48.540 That's the big danger.
01:57:51.000 Now, he lost.
01:57:51.880 It took 39 years to admit that he was right,
01:57:54.040 but he lost at the time.
01:57:55.820 Four justices in 1928 understood something
01:57:58.720 that we haven't quit teaching.
01:58:01.660 A right is not a policy.
01:58:04.360 It isn't a setting on a dashboard.
01:58:06.700 It doesn't stop at the doorframe
01:58:08.780 just because technology found a way around the doorframe.
01:58:13.180 The question was never whether the officers trespassed.
01:58:17.100 The question was whether a free man gets a life the government isn't entitled to watch all the time.
01:58:24.900 And the answer in 1928 was yes.
01:58:29.780 So is that how we're arguing now?
01:58:32.320 No, we don't argue rights anymore.
01:58:34.580 We never do.
01:58:35.660 We argue retention periods.
01:58:39.100 48 hours instead of 30 days.
01:58:42.500 warrant requirements is there an audit log now every one of those is worth having
01:58:50.820 and every one of them is a negotiation over how much of a thing that belongs to you
01:58:56.780 the government gets to keep the government can't keep any of it so take the cameras down
01:59:03.780 take them down but i want you to know what comes next because they are going to come down
01:59:11.600 some of them but somewhere out there is a tragedy that hasn't happened yet a child that has been
01:59:18.100 taken a shooter who crossed three straight lines um you know all within a week and it happened
01:59:26.320 and it was a tragedy and it was awful
01:59:29.580 but somebody would have found that person if we just had the plate readers we would have caught
01:59:36.000 him. And you know what? When they say that, they'll be telling the truth. That's what makes
01:59:41.980 the drawer work because they'll just go to the drawer and pull out flock cameras again under
01:59:47.180 another name. There'll be a mother on television who deserves every bit of your sympathy. And 0.98
01:59:52.760 there'll be a bill with her child's name on it. And we'll all sob and we'll all say something has
01:59:58.580 to be done. And so it'll come out and it won't be called the Total Surveillance Act. It'll be
02:00:04.500 named after the victim, the poor child that died. Or it'll spell out something in red, white, and
02:00:10.920 blue. And it will already be written because it's written now. It's sitting in a drawer waiting for
02:00:18.580 the funeral. And the cameras come back. Only they'll come back next time federal with money
02:00:28.120 behind them and a statute over them and a seven-day retention policy a company chose voluntarily
02:00:35.140 this month and it will become a five-year mandate that you can't vote out and it'll all be done
02:00:44.140 because of that poor child we've been here before and the receipt is dated february 10th 1995
02:00:52.160 when the Patriot Act was actually written.
02:00:56.580 Now, the only thing that stops it is not a ban, not a boycott,
02:01:01.280 not people climbing up, cutting down the cameras,
02:01:04.220 not a company's bad quarter.
02:01:06.380 What stops it is a country full of people who know what their rights are
02:01:10.840 and treat them as real, not permissions, not settings,
02:01:17.060 things no legislature handed to us,
02:01:19.860 And therefore, things the legislature cannot trade away, not for safety, not for a name, not for a flag printed on the letterhead, none of that stuff.
02:01:34.940 I'm warning you, unless we start having this flock camera conversation this way, they're coming back and they're going to be much stronger.
02:01:44.900 They're not just going to, you think Motorola is just going to fold up and go, okay, well, that was a bad idea.
02:01:48.680 People didn't want it. They were cutting it down. No, no. They will find a way. There will be a tragedy. There will be a terrorist attack. There will be something. And everyone will say, we've got to do something. And that drawer will open up.
02:02:03.320 So when a man asks you for your vote, stop asking what he'll protect you from.
02:02:09.640 Ask him what he will refuse to touch.
02:02:14.020 Because the ones who come from your liberty never really come in their own name.
02:02:22.320 They come in the name of your dead.
02:02:26.140 And then everyone's for giving it away.
02:02:29.260 we're making progress on the flock camera what about all the other companies behind them
02:02:37.860 and what about the desire to keep you safe when it happens and it will will you be prepared have
02:02:49.260 we made the argument for the rest of america so the rest of america will not trade their freedom
02:02:55.520 for security more in a minute paid for by super sure insurance agency LLC a licensed insurance
02:03:03.760 agency you know if you own a business you have something that should have been replaced about
02:03:07.500 five years ago but you haven't replaced it because technically it's still working not working but
02:03:13.580 technically still working that's different it's the computer you have to hold the cord at a certain
02:03:18.680 angle it's a copy machine that makes a noise that everybody has agreed we should investigate that
02:03:22.800 It's the delivery van where the check engine light has been on for so long.
02:03:27.340 You'd be worried if it went off.
02:03:29.420 You know what I'm saying?

02:04:25.120 So the things that they say once it starts hurting them.
02:04:52.960 Here's Abdul El-Sayed on how he won't talk about Hassan Piker.
02:04:58.100 Listen to this.
02:04:59.200 Some of them still have concerns about your relationship with Hassan Piker.
02:05:03.000 They'd like to see you do more.
02:05:04.760 Some have concerns with...
02:05:06.340 I'm just going to say this.
02:05:07.220 I'm going to stop you right there.
02:05:08.740 If we're here where?
02:05:09.900 What state is this?
02:05:11.320 We're in the state of Michigan.
02:05:12.740 If you want to make this race about a streamer in California, I just think you're missing the vote.
02:05:17.320 This is about affordability in Michigan.
02:05:19.060 This is about being able to see a doctor in Michigan.
02:05:20.720 This is about Donald Trump's disastrous policy.
02:05:22.560 He had no problem bringing him in from California, but now that it's toxic, I'm not talking about a guy in California.
02:05:30.360 Why are you?
02:05:30.920 This is about affordability.
02:05:32.460 Now, speaking of affordability, here's the Chicago mayor about business and diversity in Chicago.
02:05:38.960 Listen to this.
02:05:39.420 If you want to do business with this city, we want to know whether the people leading your company reflect the diversity of the communities whose tax dollars are paying your contracts.
02:05:52.560 So they are still doubling down.
02:05:55.520 They are still going that.
02:05:56.840 And yet, here's Rahm Emanuel on socialists.
02:06:00.100 Listen.
02:06:01.060 They say the energy is not with the people of the past.
02:06:03.700 It's moving forward with socialism.
02:06:05.460 Your response?
02:06:06.840 Look, here's the thing.
02:06:08.720 I don't consider Democratic Socialists part of the Democratic Party.
02:06:12.120 About four weeks ago, they had a convention in Chicago, a separate party.
02:06:15.140 They believe in defunding the police, letting prisoners out of...
02:06:18.780 I got news for you.
02:06:19.680 The Democratic Party is the Socialist Party now.
02:06:22.720 Rahm, too late.
