The Glenn Beck Program - Vacationing at Australian Internment Camps ｜ Guest： Tim Stewart ｜ 12⧸6⧸21

00:00:00.000 Hey, now might be the time to get your financial house in order.

00:00:04.100 If you are paying 3% or more on your mortgage, I can't believe I'm saying this,

00:00:10.020 3% or more on your interest payment for your mortgage, you're paying too much.

00:00:17.400 It's crazy, but things are going to be changing.

00:00:21.960 And in many, many ways, if you're looking for a mortgage, now is the time to get one,

00:00:28.560 not only because of cost, but it's going to get harder and harder for you to get one,

00:00:32.100 the Great Reset, but also because the interest rates will go up.

00:00:36.820 American Financing at 800-906-2440.

00:00:40.100 They can save you a buttload of money, maybe up to $1,000 a month

00:00:43.820 if you roll in your high-interest credit cards as well without resetting your mortgage.

00:00:48.020 Do it now, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.

00:00:53.200 It's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:00:56.620 10 seconds, station ID.

00:00:58.560 And then we're coming back with the fabulous, fabulous radio program.

00:01:04.460 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:32.620 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:39.620 Oh, hello, America.

00:01:42.220 It is another fine, fine day in the United States of America.

00:01:46.420 How do I know?

00:01:47.720 Because another Cuomo brother has lost his job.

00:01:51.820 That's how you could...

00:01:53.520 Hey, they took him out onto the boat and said,

00:01:57.520 come on, let's go fishing.

00:02:00.140 You won't believe why they fired him.

00:02:03.460 They just came in and said, we did some more investigation and he's got to go.

00:02:08.300 They wouldn't say what it is, but now the cat is out of the bag.

00:02:12.320 Stu, my good friend, Stu, who does not relish the pain of the Cuomo family at all.

00:02:20.080 No, the laughing, that just evil...

00:02:23.080 No, you're crying inside.

00:02:24.620 You're crying inside.

00:02:25.760 It's a way to hide the pain.

00:02:26.880 Yes, we go there.

00:02:28.220 And to the new summer camps in Australia.

00:02:33.700 A COVID update coming up.

00:02:37.040 60 seconds, we begin.

00:02:40.240 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:41.480 You know, there comes a day in a man's life where he has to admit,

00:02:45.720 my wife was right about something.

00:02:48.320 Now, for me, that's every day, I have to admit that.

00:02:54.180 You know, I shouldn't say every day.

00:02:55.800 Any day that ends and why.

00:02:57.120 In my defense, my wife was only half right.

00:03:01.360 Now, what am I talking about?

00:03:04.300 Built bars.

00:03:05.140 Okay.

00:03:05.480 She told me, she told me something that was half right.

00:03:07.980 She said, they're protein bars, but they're really, really good.

00:03:13.240 Mm-hmm.

00:03:13.780 Mm-hmm.

00:03:14.300 Mm-hmm.

00:03:14.760 Mm-hmm.

00:03:15.680 Yeah, there's no question there's delicious.

00:03:18.420 They are absolutely delicious.

00:03:22.480 But I wouldn't call them protein bars.

00:03:24.580 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:03:25.120 They got a lot of protein in them.

00:03:26.520 They're healthy for you.

00:03:27.740 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:03:29.040 But they are delicious.

00:03:31.540 That's the thing you need to focus on.

00:03:33.720 They are so good.

00:03:35.880 High in protein and fiber.

00:03:37.820 Low in fat and carbs.

00:03:39.840 But if you've ever had a protein bar, this is completely different.

00:03:43.920 Try one of their many flavors.

00:03:45.560 They are all so good.

00:03:56.100 So the debate is going on, and I love this debate.

00:04:02.320 Is it a concentration camp?

00:04:04.560 Is it an internment camp?

00:04:08.020 Or is it a summer camp?

00:04:11.600 Now, I don't know about you, but it's hard to confuse at least the first one with the last one.

00:04:20.840 We just know it's a camp.

00:04:21.900 We just know it's a camp.

00:04:23.020 We don't know what type of camp.

00:04:23.920 Could be CYO camp.

00:04:24.960 We don't know.

00:04:25.260 Could be any of these.

00:04:27.300 They're all being used to describe the same thing.

00:04:30.640 Australia has opened multiple facilities for people traveling into Australia to quarantine for 14 days upon arriving in Australia.

00:04:40.180 The official website for the Australian's Northern Territory government says the places are mandatory, supervised, quarantine facilities.

00:04:50.860 And they're popping up all over Australia.

00:04:53.060 Now, we have spent over a week looking into these because it's either Auschwitz or it's a summer camp. 0.57

00:05:01.640 And I didn't want to go on the air half cocked.

00:05:05.120 I wanted to find the truth.

00:05:07.040 So here it is.

00:05:08.120 One of these facilities, the Center for National Resilience in Howard Springs, attracted attention last week because three teenagers were trying to run away from the facility.

00:05:19.280 And they were caught by police and brought back to the summer camp.

00:05:24.240 Now, these teenagers hadn't been traveling from overseas because that's what it was supposed to be.

00:05:31.220 You get off a plane, you got to stay there for 14 days and then you can go home.

00:05:35.660 All right.

00:05:36.580 But this is now expanded the mandate instead of just housing repatriates.

00:05:43.500 They're also housing people who catch the virus as well as those who are in close contact with those who have the virus.

00:05:53.920 OK, this is beginning to sound I don't know about you, but it doesn't have old people. 0.99

00:05:59.420 Well, it might.

00:05:59.960 But I haven't seen the bikini pics yet of the old people there. 0.99

00:06:03.320 It sounds a little like what happened with the nursing homes.

00:06:06.540 Hey, you're trapped in the nursing home.

00:06:08.300 Hey, you have coronavirus.

00:06:09.940 Why don't you come to the nursing home?

00:06:11.340 Um, now, the three teenagers had close contact with somebody who had coronavirus.

00:06:19.480 Not only did the teenagers not have covid, but even the chief minister of the Northern Territory, Michael Gunner,

00:06:26.860 admitted he knew that they had tested negative the day before they tried to break out.

00:06:32.120 So the Australian police chased down the three teenagers who had tested negative the day before and returned them against their will to the facility.

00:06:42.840 And then the chief minister of the Northern Territory threatened the teenagers that they may have to restart their time in quarantine.

00:06:51.360 He said, absconding from Howard Springs isn't just dangerous. 1.00

00:06:56.080 It's incredibly stupid. 1.00

00:06:59.320 Oh, my gosh. 1.00

00:07:00.440 Captain trips because we will catch you and there will be consequences.

00:07:07.980 Ooh.

00:07:08.540 Now, to make sure this doesn't happen again, they've announced that they will install more cameras in the facility.

00:07:16.920 If the facilities are to keep everybody safe from covid.

00:07:22.440 Then why are the teenagers without covid being forced to restart their 14 days there?

00:07:29.200 Explanation punitive.

00:07:30.820 It seems like the teenagers are not the only ones being punished.

00:07:37.280 Haley Hogston, she is a recent detainee of the Howard Springs facility.

00:07:42.320 She's speaking out about her time there.

00:07:45.060 Here's what she said.

00:07:46.100 It's a horrible feeling.

00:07:47.180 You feel like you're in prison.

00:07:49.380 You feel like you've done something wrong.

00:07:51.400 It's inhumane what they're doing.

00:07:53.200 Like you are so small.

00:07:55.600 You may just overpower you and you're literally nothing.

00:07:59.180 It's like you do what we say or you're in trouble.

00:08:02.520 We'll lock you up for longer.

00:08:04.300 Yeah.

00:08:04.860 They're even threatening me that if I was to do this again, we will extend your time in here.

00:08:11.300 All right.

00:08:12.620 She describes in the video to undercover investigators that showed up to her house unannounced, asking her if she, quote, knows this person who's her friend and tested positive for covid.

00:08:24.500 They asked her if she had been tested.

00:08:26.500 She said, yes, but she was lying.

00:08:29.760 She had just been to a covid camp the month before and didn't want to go back.

00:08:34.640 The investigators left, then called five minutes later and and she told them she lied.

00:08:41.120 They said, stay where you are.

00:08:42.980 Someone will come and test you.

00:08:44.720 But they didn't come to test her.

00:08:46.780 Two uniform officers showed up to tell her they were taking her to Howard Springs and she had no choice.

00:08:53.260 Now, she had just gotten out.

00:08:55.840 Now she meets somebody else and she has to go back.

00:08:59.060 Here's what she said.

00:09:00.200 So I just said, look, I don't consent to this.

00:09:02.180 I don't I don't understand why I can't just self isolate at home like a lot of other people are doing.

00:09:07.900 And they just said, we've just been told from higher up where to take you.

00:09:12.440 And that's all that there is.

00:09:13.860 OK, she had to go to the facility, quote, until she tests negative and then she can come home. 1.00

00:09:20.780 But when she arrived, a new set of cops told her that she had to stay for 14 days and she tested negative every single day.

00:09:28.600 At Howard Springs, you have to wear a mask.

00:09:31.280 And if you leave your little balcony, it's about two meters.

00:09:35.460 It's six and a half feet about.

00:09:37.500 If you leave that little balcony, you're in trouble.

00:09:40.760 She has a medical exemption from having to wear a mask, but she was still reprimanded for stepping off her little balcony maskless.

00:09:50.160 Here's what happened.

00:09:51.840 What's the go?

00:09:52.600 So this I'm going to give you a warning.

00:09:53.700 Yeah, it's an official warning that you have to stay on the balcony and obey the rules.

00:09:57.220 Yeah.

00:09:57.620 Yeah.

00:09:58.120 And that's we have to go the rules again.

00:10:00.860 I don't care.

00:10:01.200 So am I allowed to go to the laundry?

00:10:02.900 You're allowed to go to the laundry, but you've got to wear a mask.

00:10:04.540 Yeah.

00:10:04.980 Right.

00:10:05.800 And you definitely can't go to the fencing.

00:10:07.320 But you're allowed to go to the laundry.

00:10:08.400 Yeah.

00:10:08.540 That's always been the case.

00:10:09.720 Yeah.

00:10:09.880 Right.

00:10:10.220 So if I was sitting just here, which is right near the fence, why are these guys in a cabin that's right near the fence?

00:10:19.340 It makes no sense, does it?

00:10:21.480 Yeah.

00:10:21.580 But you can't leave your balcony to go to the fence to talk to somebody else.

00:10:25.060 That's what I'll do.

00:10:25.620 Yeah.

00:10:26.080 So if I was at that balcony.

00:10:27.620 So she's saying she's pointing to a balcony that is right up against the fence.

00:10:31.760 She can't go off her balcony and approach the fence, but she could be on her balcony at the fence and that's OK.

00:10:39.920 And she's just pointing out that doesn't make any sense.

00:10:43.180 She says, look, this is making me very, very anxious.

00:10:49.140 So here's a crazy part.

00:10:50.900 Listen to what she says.

00:10:52.240 Because I was so distressed and I said, can you just please let me out for a walk or a run like I'm in this little box and I can't move.

00:11:00.300 Can I please, you know, I'm anxious, I'm feeling not well, just I need to get out.

00:11:05.000 And they literally said, we've got a doctor calling you and we'll get some Valium prescribed to you that you can call us anytime you like and you can have Valium.

00:11:13.000 OK, so now they're now they're like, hey, welcome to a brave new world.

00:11:18.280 Have some medication.

00:11:22.060 They've lost it in Australia.

00:11:24.260 Now, is this a concentration camp or is this a summer camp or is it an internment camp?

00:11:31.840 Well, Tim Poole came under fire for calling these facilities concentration camps, specifically criticizing the fact that 39 Aboriginal people have been recently transported to the facility,

00:11:45.940 citing a video of Aboriginals and their representatives saying they're being chased down with syringes and forced to go to Howard Springs.

00:11:55.700 Here's what Tim Poole said.

00:11:57.460 Now, I referred to this as a concentration camp.

00:12:00.780 Why?

00:12:01.740 Because the word concentration camp doesn't literally mean Nazi death camp.

00:12:05.820 Right.

00:12:06.300 And there is some, you know, you are trying to evoke an emotion by saying concentration camp.

00:12:14.440 I did not choose those words lightly.

00:12:16.400 I'm literally trying to point out what's happening.

00:12:18.420 The government of Australia has built camps.

00:12:20.920 They are putting people in those camps.

00:12:23.280 They are claiming it's for safety.

00:12:25.480 This is step one in the 100 step process towards locking up people, sealing them in and then letting them die.

00:12:32.620 Will it get to that point?

00:12:34.440 Maybe not.

00:12:35.340 No idea.

00:12:35.820 But when has the government built camps with relocatable cabins for people deemed suspected of having a sickness to be to be locked away for a short period of time?

00:12:47.200 When has that turned out?

00:12:49.100 Well, OK, so the online Australian magazine Quillette fired back and said those videos are fake, known by political opportunists,

00:12:59.320 and that the real Aboriginal people on the ground, I love this line, are grateful for what the government is doing.

00:13:07.320 Like he said, when is the last time a government has, you know, built a camp and it turned out, well,

00:13:12.760 when's the last time you heard anybody say, no, the the original people on this land,

00:13:19.520 they loved being rounded up by the government.

00:13:22.100 They wanted that for their own safety.

00:13:25.120 So the debate between the two has gotten really, really ugly.

00:13:31.520 Now, the next thing that comes in this story is Twitter has been flooded with pictures of women in thong bikinis,

00:13:41.160 loving their time at Howard Springs Centers for for national resilience.

00:13:46.960 These these these pictures of these women in thongs. 0.60

00:13:52.420 It does seem like a nice summer camp.

00:13:56.520 But is that what it is?

00:13:59.020 Bikinis and free beer or is it a concentration camp? 0.76

00:14:03.640 I'm going to give you the full answer.

00:14:07.780 And I think it's well, I'll give you the answer here in 60 seconds.

00:14:12.100 First, I want you to think about the price of meat.

00:14:17.740 Now, think about how much dad or your husband or anybody else loves meat.

00:14:24.180 I could get, you know, when I see Scrooged and his dad comes in and throws him a pack of meat and says,

00:14:31.200 that's that's rump roast.

00:14:33.460 You know what that costs today?

00:14:35.200 I think, please, somebody throw me a package of meat.

00:14:38.780 I'd be fine.

00:14:39.720 Um, Omaha steaks is that package of meat for ninety nine dollars.

00:14:46.160 You're going to get twenty four entrees like the world famous bacon wrap filet mignon.

00:14:51.000 You can cut these with your fork.

00:14:53.920 There is no one that makes steak as tender as Omaha steaks.

00:14:58.820 They are really, really good.

00:15:01.400 Plus, you'll get chicken breast sides, desserts and so much more.

00:15:34.580 Make sure you use the keyword back.

00:15:37.080 Ten seconds.

00:15:37.900 Station I.D.

00:15:38.940 All right.

00:15:51.340 All right.

00:15:53.120 Concentration camps.

00:15:55.940 Internment camps.

00:15:58.660 Or summer camps.

00:16:01.420 OK.

00:16:02.980 It's comfortable authoritarianism with a good PR team.

00:16:07.280 You can't leave, even if you test negative, without being chased down by the police.

00:16:13.440 But there's free Wi-Fi.

00:16:15.620 You can't you can't really get an attorney to represent you.

00:16:20.360 But there's women in thongs. 1.00

00:16:23.600 Most importantly, it's for your own good.

00:16:27.120 Now, the majority of Australians are going along with this.

00:16:30.980 The chief minister made clear after the teenagers tried to escape.

00:16:34.620 I also want to point out the overwhelming compliance that we've had, given several hundred people have been placed into the center of national resilience linked to the clusters from Robinson River, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:16:47.360 So most people agree.

00:16:50.200 In fact, the large majority of the people, because we've had hundreds of people, thousands, if not millions, agree.

00:16:59.280 Putting those hundreds of people away is fine.

00:17:03.020 Again, not a great standard.

00:17:07.160 Compliance in exchange for safety.

00:17:10.860 This is what's on display now in Australia.

00:17:13.960 You're not free, but you're comfortable, maybe even happy.

00:17:18.380 You're comfortable and maybe happy, but you're not free.

00:17:27.060 This is the problem.

00:17:28.960 This is the problem.

00:17:29.980 It is not a concentration camp.

00:17:32.680 It's not.

00:17:33.900 It's not anywhere close.

00:17:35.840 I think it could be more in line with an internment camp.

00:17:41.360 You know, that was for many of the Japanese went happily.

00:17:44.240 They were fine.

00:17:44.960 And it was for their own safety, also for the safety of others.

00:17:48.340 But it was wrong.

00:17:49.840 It was wrong to do.

00:17:51.140 They were happy.

00:17:53.180 Soon as they got out of the horse stalls, they were happy.

00:17:56.480 It was fine.

00:17:57.480 There were wonderful pictures taken.

00:17:59.440 Not of any of the Japanese and thongs, but we had better standards back then.

00:18:05.160 So can it be wrong and still a great place?

00:18:11.820 Sure.

00:18:13.860 Sure it can.

00:18:15.960 In 2030, you're not going to own anything, but you're going to like it.

00:18:22.220 Well, I say I'm not going to like that because I'm forced to live that way.

00:18:29.480 I want to be free.

00:18:31.340 I would like to have my day in court.

00:18:36.220 I don't, no matter how nice it is.

00:18:38.720 You know, it's the people who say, you know, slavery wasn't all bad.

00:18:43.000 I mean, there were some slaves that were like part of the family.

00:18:47.200 Yeah, except that part of the family wasn't free to go chart their own course.

00:18:53.860 So no matter how, no matter how great slaves were kept, it was still slavery and bad because you're not free.

00:19:03.860 Same thing here.

00:19:05.120 It's very nice.

00:19:06.440 It's like they're part of the family, except they're not free.

00:19:10.620 Here's the lesson that we need to learn.

00:19:14.060 This is what not to do, America.

00:19:18.120 Since the pandemic began, Australia has been the perfect example of how to seamlessly slide into unbridled authoritarianism.

00:19:28.060 And it's been enough to make anyone with even the faintest desire for freedom want to run to the hills.

00:19:34.600 But they gave up their guns so they have nothing they can do.

00:19:39.240 These are not concentration camps.

00:19:41.480 They're far from it.

00:19:42.420 But they are not harmless either.

00:19:45.440 They are corrosive to the human psyche and undermine freedom from every angle.

00:19:51.140 The warning that this is some kind of authoritarianism is a primer for something as sinister as concentration camps is written off as a slippery slope argument.

00:20:04.560 Well, it may be.

00:20:07.520 We have to ask, what would stop it from getting to the point of a concentration camp?

00:20:13.620 What is the limiting principle here?

00:20:16.080 Where is the line in the sand?

00:20:18.300 At what point do you go, OK, well, that's too far?

00:20:23.680 If this were happening in America, if this were happening to you.

00:20:29.020 What would you do?

00:20:31.540 You should answer that question, because three years ago, I wouldn't have imagined Americans would comply with months of lockdown and they're still doing it.

00:20:40.580 I couldn't have imagined people losing their jobs over a vaccine.

00:20:44.160 I couldn't have imagined being asked to present my papers at a restaurant.

00:20:50.420 I thought our line would be way before those things could happen.

00:20:54.800 I bet Australians did as well.

00:20:57.620 If we don't want to end up asking, is that a concentration camp or a summer camp?

00:21:02.300 If we don't want to end up, then we should get off the path that we're on right now.

00:21:07.560 Find your line and hold it.

00:21:10.400 So you would agree, I think, with with what Tim said on there's 100 steps to Nazi death camps and this is step one of 100. 0.81

00:21:22.180 We're on our you're on the why take step one, though.

00:21:25.620 Correct.

00:21:26.120 Why go down this road?

00:21:27.820 And by the way, if the if the infection were worse, the last place you want to be is a place where the government is gathering everybody.

00:21:37.020 As we learned, you remember in Katrina, hey, there's safety under the dome.

00:21:42.760 Right.

00:21:43.380 No, there wasn't.

00:21:44.560 That was the worst place you could be.

00:21:47.320 And, you know, like the centralized quarantine idea has been going on.

00:21:51.220 By the way, most of this time in Australia, I mean, it happened it happened in the United States when Ebola came here in Dallas.

00:21:57.760 If you remember when when people came back from the from the ship.

00:22:01.780 And I think Ebola again.

00:22:04.120 But I mean, at the beginning of COVID, right from the first cruise line, we brought those people back in.

00:22:08.920 They had to quarantine.

00:22:10.000 Sometimes it's centralized.

00:22:11.120 It's not American at all. 0.87

00:22:12.480 It's not an American idea at all.

00:22:14.260 They might like it in Hong Kong, but they don't like it here.

00:22:16.680 It was an American idea.

00:22:19.100 It was.

00:22:19.820 It's what I'm glad we don't have anymore.

00:22:21.880 The Japanese, the Native Americans, I think.

00:22:26.180 Haven't we apologized for those?

00:22:28.100 We probably should not go down.

00:22:31.020 No, I'm going to come out and say it. 1.00

00:22:32.780 Damn it. 0.99

00:22:33.600 Wow. 1.00

00:22:34.080 Yeah, I'm going to say it.

00:24:11.220 Hello and welcome to the program.

00:24:14.860 Let's go to Germany, the happiest place on earth, shall we?

00:24:18.820 To exclude the unvaccinated people from much of public life, the German people are facing

00:24:29.440 now a soaring fourth wave of the corona pandemic.

00:24:33.680 And to blunt the worrisome new Omicron variant, they have announced tough new restrictions.

00:24:41.920 The new rules, which stopped short of enforcing a complete lockdown on the unvaccinated, 1.00

00:24:49.080 followed an agreement hammered out between Chancellor Angela Merkel and her successor, Olaf Scholz.

00:24:58.560 Under the new rules, those wishing to go to bars and restaurants or shop anywhere in stores

00:25:03.620 other than those carrying basic necessities like pharmacies or grocery stores,

00:25:10.020 you'll have to present proof of vaccination or documentation of recovery from a recent coronavirus infection.

00:25:20.780 Some of those restrictions have been in effect already in some states, but now it's nationwide.

00:25:27.240 With the new rules and a promise by Mr. Scholz that he would push a law making vaccinations mandatory,

00:25:40.520 Germany is following the path of Austria and Australia. 0.85

00:25:45.560 Recently, they mandated that all adults be inoculated by February.

00:25:51.160 It comes as both countries contend with strident anti-vaccination sentiment in their populations

00:25:57.880 that have kept the vaccination rates low.

00:26:01.700 You can see from the decisions that we have understood that the situation is very, very serious,

00:26:07.100 says the Chancellor at a news conference last week.

00:26:11.680 I'm glad that in this difficult situation we're working shoulder to shoulder and that party politics is taking a backseat

00:26:19.920 and the health of the citizens is the focus of the common endeavor.

00:26:25.120 And I think when the German politicians all march in lockstep, we can all truly celebrate there.

00:26:33.460 I don't know, you know, Austria, Germany, you'd think the idea of papers, please, would be not such a good thing.

00:26:46.440 You know what I mean?

00:26:47.360 You might look at that and go, hmm, I seem to remember sometime in our recent history,

00:26:54.240 we had papers and then people that were deemed dangerous and so we wouldn't let them shop anywhere.

00:27:01.220 You want to be pretty careful on that road.

00:27:03.460 If you happen to be in that particular nation, you know, you just think that would be...

00:27:08.960 Think you might, you might.

00:27:10.500 One thing that does stand out to me as you watch all this stuff go, happen around the globe,

00:27:15.180 talked about Australia and Germany and there's plenty of other places right now,

00:27:18.360 is how much of an outlier we are.

00:27:21.380 Like, as a country, like, you know, I don't want to say we're special in any way because that would be...

00:27:27.800 That would be wrong.

00:27:28.640 That would be wrong.

00:27:29.180 We are special in our evilness.

00:27:31.020 In our evilness, maybe that's it.

00:27:32.360 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:27:32.680 That's it.

00:27:33.080 Because you realize that, like, most of these countries just go along with all this stuff.

00:27:37.460 And yes, we hear from people like the women that we played in this particular camp in Australia

00:27:42.660 and there are people having...

00:27:45.020 There are mass protests in a lot of these countries.

00:27:47.120 But, like, you look at the polling in these countries on these topics.

00:27:51.060 I mean, when Japan was holding the Olympics, they were...

00:27:54.060 It was overwhelmingly unpopular to hold them.

00:27:57.600 Japan was like, no, we don't want these people here coming in from other countries. 1.00

00:28:00.660 It wasn't like it would be here where we're like, let's all get in full stadiums right now.

00:28:04.580 Because Japan has, like, 40 people living in it.

00:28:07.680 It's not even true.

00:28:08.740 Oh, it is.

00:28:09.340 But they're all living in a shoebox.

00:28:11.800 So you disagree with this point?

00:28:12.620 They're all living in a shoebox.

00:28:13.820 You disagree with this point?

00:28:15.340 We're an outlier?

00:28:16.360 I don't think we are.

00:28:16.760 No, I think we are an outlier.

00:28:18.440 Yeah.

00:28:18.640 I think we're an outlier.

00:28:19.480 But we're not that far apart.

00:28:21.160 I mean...

00:28:21.680 I think we are.

00:28:22.420 You think a year ago, we would have been thrilled to have the Olympics here?

00:28:26.980 A year ago?

00:28:28.160 I mean, there would have been more pushback.

00:28:31.000 Yes.

00:28:31.140 You're right.

00:28:31.660 But I mean...

00:28:32.120 But again, you know, I think that there is...

00:28:35.900 You know, we talk about, like, places like, you know, Sweden, right?

00:28:38.940 And Sweden and how they handled things differently.

00:28:41.660 And I completely agree with the way they handled it from a personal liberty perspective.

00:28:45.760 That's where we should have been.

00:28:46.700 Right.

00:28:46.860 Exactly.

00:28:47.360 Especially the United States should have been like, okay, like, look, here's our recommendations.

00:28:50.900 But, you know, this is America.

00:28:53.020 You do what you do.

00:28:54.020 And that's kind of what Sweden did.

00:28:55.780 What's interesting about the Swedish people, though, is they listen.

00:29:00.500 Right?

00:29:00.920 Like, they...

00:29:01.700 The government says, like, hey, stay away from each other and stay inside.

00:29:04.420 And they're like, all right.

00:29:06.180 That's kind of how it went.

00:29:07.420 Right.

00:29:07.800 I mean, like, yes, they didn't put on a lot of the restrictions we had here.

00:29:10.900 But they listened, generally speaking, to their government's recommendations.

00:29:14.920 Can I tell you something?

00:29:15.540 We don't.

00:29:16.160 We would have...

00:29:18.340 Maybe.

00:29:18.580 If they wouldn't have been so creepy.

00:29:21.860 Okay?

00:29:22.400 They were just creepy about it.

00:29:23.920 It's always creepy.

00:29:25.000 I mean, this could be the best well-meaning policy in the world, which, of course, I don't agree that it is.

00:29:30.340 Yeah.

00:29:30.460 But if it did, talking about it like this, there's no way an American takes that as anything other than creepy.

00:29:36.840 Correct.

00:29:37.500 I don't know that that's the case around the world.

00:29:39.180 I think there are a lot of people in different cultures who just go along.

00:29:43.460 Germany should not be one of those.

00:29:45.920 Totally true.

00:29:46.620 I agree.

00:29:47.020 Germany should not be one of those.

00:29:48.240 I'm not arguing that we should be more like Germany.

00:29:50.500 I'm arguing everyone else should be like us.

00:29:52.220 No, no.

00:29:52.540 I know that.

00:29:53.460 But, you know, the problem here is the government.

00:29:56.800 I don't think we would have...

00:29:58.040 I bet you we would be at 90% to 95% vaccinated.

00:30:02.280 Probably at least 90.

00:30:05.020 Right now, if the government wouldn't have said, you will take this and you'll ask no questions.

00:30:10.940 Okay, wait, what?

00:30:13.680 That's the problem.

00:30:15.260 Did you see the latest thing from the American Heart Association?

00:30:18.320 Yeah.

00:30:18.640 Yeah.

00:30:18.840 Okay.

00:30:18.980 So they publish this thing that says, hey, there's a real problem with the vaccine and heart disease.

00:30:28.240 Now, they're not saying everybody who takes is going to have heart disease.

00:30:31.060 It's just one of the problems.

00:30:34.040 Okay.

00:30:34.280 One of the side effects might be heart disease.

00:30:38.260 Okay.

00:30:39.160 Seems rational.

00:30:40.680 They immediately pulled that and said, that's a mistake.

00:30:43.020 That's a mistake.

00:30:43.580 We didn't mean to say that.

00:30:44.460 What are you talking about?

00:30:45.240 We didn't need to say...

00:30:46.360 What?

00:30:47.600 I've seen prescription medicine commercials.

00:30:51.940 Right.

00:30:52.780 It's like 10 seconds of, hey, you've got a problem with your wiener.

00:30:57.060 Take this.

00:30:58.280 And 55 seconds of, yeah, but it could cause all of these problems.

00:31:03.780 You could turn into a vampire.

00:31:05.320 I mean, they tell you all the craziest things that could happen.

00:31:09.360 And on this one, nothing.

00:31:11.360 V.C., nothing. 0.98

00:31:13.400 Just silly. 0.99

00:31:14.240 It's ridiculous. 0.98

00:31:15.280 I mean, just be honest with people and let them assess their own risk. 0.84

00:31:18.980 And that's the problem.

00:31:20.360 Right.

00:31:20.520 And the risk profile is different for someone who's 65 years old and has cancer than someone

00:31:25.780 who's 22 years old and in good health.

00:31:27.720 This Omicron's thing.

00:31:29.740 This is a prime example of it.

00:31:32.340 Who would have seen this coming?

00:31:33.660 A new study comes out over the weekend and says, looks like it's spread much easier, but

00:31:40.920 a lot less deadly.

00:31:42.640 Now, who would have thought that except the people who discovered it?

00:31:48.340 Okay.

00:31:49.180 But every, everybody in government went Omicron, it's a transformer and it's going to kill all

00:31:56.200 of us.

00:31:57.160 No, I've never seen anything like that.

00:32:01.940 We don't have any of the data and let's close everything.

00:32:06.040 Why?

00:32:06.680 The people who discovered it said it really just causes body aches.

00:32:12.320 Instead of celebrating it, we demonized it.

00:32:16.340 That's a good thing.

00:32:17.700 That one will kill all of the others because if everybody gets, yeah, if every, the idea

00:32:24.380 is that the, the weakest one that travels from person to person, the fastest will become

00:32:31.560 the dominant variant.

00:32:33.260 And that's a good thing.

00:32:34.800 It's already dominant in South Africa, which points to that.

00:32:36.640 It's 15 states here.

00:32:38.220 We have it already in 15 states, not dominant in 15 states.

00:32:40.520 No, no, no.

00:32:40.860 I know we have it in 15 states.

00:32:42.260 Yeah.

00:32:42.440 But the fact that it is dominant already in South Africa indicates that, yeah, it is

00:32:47.340 pretty darn contagious.

00:32:48.660 And, you know, look, that doesn't mean you don't, you don't look at the information and

00:32:53.080 make sure you're judging it appropriately, right?

00:32:55.340 Judging it.

00:32:55.740 Nobody wants it to be worse.

00:32:57.320 Appropriately.

00:32:57.760 Right.

00:32:58.060 It's like.

00:32:58.560 But these travel restrictions.

00:33:00.120 No.

00:33:00.540 They're not going to work.

00:33:01.380 By the time you find this, it's everywhere in the world.

00:33:05.540 No.

00:33:05.720 I mean, like, you know, I don't know.

00:33:07.360 President Trump kind of famously limited travel from China at the beginning.

00:33:12.420 Because at that point they were welding people into their houses. 0.50

00:33:17.720 Yeah.

00:33:17.960 We had no idea what we were dealing with.

00:33:20.680 Yeah.

00:33:20.800 Look, I am not all that critical of a couple week travel delay to South Africa.

00:33:27.420 And when you have a new thing pop up, that's not the type of restriction I think is crazy.

00:33:33.240 Now, I don't think it's going to do much.

00:33:34.760 It might delay it a week.

00:33:35.820 It's not going to do anything.

00:33:36.340 But it is.

00:33:37.140 It is.

00:33:37.820 Sure.

00:33:38.100 It's something you can look at.

00:33:39.220 And you don't necessarily want to import new strains of the virus before you know anything

00:33:43.220 about it.

00:33:43.660 OK.

00:33:44.000 If you can delay a little bit.

00:33:45.060 I don't think that's a I don't think that's a terrible policy.

00:33:47.860 But I, you know, restrict.

00:33:49.560 It's completely insane to be putting on like the restrictions they're putting on a state of

00:33:53.360 emergency in New York when they had no cases.

00:33:55.880 Correct.

00:33:55.940 That's no cases.

00:33:57.580 Completely nuts.

00:33:58.780 It should not be affecting anyone's life here in the United States right now.

00:34:03.080 So try this on for size.

00:34:04.700 Oregon is now considering indefinite mask mandates that the wearing of the mask, that mandate

00:34:13.740 will never go away.

00:34:17.920 It's like a fetish at this point.

00:34:19.620 It is.

00:34:20.140 It's like a weird fetish.

00:34:21.460 It is.

00:34:21.860 Some of these states have and some of these particularly on the people on the left have with the mask.

00:34:25.940 It's no longer.

00:34:27.220 I mean, we can be honest about this, I think, at this point.

00:34:30.300 Then no longer.

00:34:31.720 Maybe there was a time in which they thought this was a situation where this is going to

00:34:36.860 affect the way the virus is going to spread.

00:34:39.540 None of them believe this at this point.

00:34:41.240 A mask mandate obviously isn't doing anything.

00:34:44.120 You know, you can make an argument in a lab setting with certain, especially high quality

00:34:49.020 masks that people, if people use it at 100 percent and everyone's really diligent about

00:34:54.660 it, maybe it makes a difference.

00:34:55.920 There's one study that happened in Bangladesh and they found surgical masks worn widely

00:35:01.340 reduce transmission by 11 percent.

00:35:03.480 Now, 11 percent is not nothing, but is it something, is it this insane cultural point to beat up

00:35:13.960 your political opponents over?

00:35:15.380 It is leading.

00:35:16.120 Obviously not.

00:35:16.880 It is leading to mental illness.

00:35:20.140 I have a friend who was in in California, in San Francisco last week, and he said, I can't

00:35:27.360 take a picture because they're all staring at me, but I'm at this gathering and there are

00:35:34.020 people seriously wearing gas masks.

00:35:37.700 And he's like, this is crazy.

00:35:40.880 This is out of here. 0.93

00:35:42.020 And I think there I think it is leading to a mental illness. 0.90

00:35:45.720 I agree.

00:35:46.060 You come down to Texas.

00:35:48.020 I mean, we just had our Mercury party.

00:35:50.500 I don't think anybody wore a mask.

00:35:52.900 I don't think a single soul wore a mask.

00:35:54.860 Maybe one was no matter where you are.

00:35:56.760 But it might have been if there was one.

00:35:59.180 I think it's one of the employees that, you know, is susceptible to to disease because

00:36:04.560 of, you know, different medications, et cetera, et cetera.

00:36:06.780 But I don't think there was anybody wearing a mask that I saw.

00:36:10.680 And it's normal here.

00:36:12.480 It's we've gone back to normal or as relatively normal as you can get.

00:36:17.160 And you go up, you go up north, you go into California and they're crazy. 0.98

00:36:23.400 They're crazy.

00:36:25.480 If you are in California, you don't have to live that way.

00:36:29.360 You really don't escape escape.

00:36:32.580 Yeah, it's crazy what they're doing.

00:36:34.560 I will say, though, too, I think there's the pushback in those states is significant

00:36:38.420 as well.

00:36:39.060 And like, you know, I've visited some of the blue states over the past six months.

00:36:42.440 And while, yes, you get more mask usage, there are more restrictions.

00:36:47.400 You know, I was in indoor bars in Lori Lightfoot's Chicago with no ventilation and no one was

00:36:54.960 wearing masks.

00:36:55.920 I mean, this is in Chicago.

00:36:57.240 No, like they the the government very well might want to put on indefinite mask mandates

00:37:03.660 for control.

00:37:04.460 But the people are saying no.

00:37:06.040 And again, I put it back to us being special.

00:37:08.100 I don't know that that's happening all over the world.

00:37:09.580 But right here, we're saying even people in Democratic areas are saying, nah, we're not

00:37:13.240 doing this anymore.

00:37:13.720 I will tell you that I and I want to talk about this later on this program.

00:37:17.420 You just have to remind me, Stu.

00:37:18.400 I am more optimistic now about us surviving that I have been in probably 15 years.

00:37:26.660 There is a change in America.

00:37:28.600 There is a real change.

00:37:29.840 But you can't allow them to make it, you know, illegal to be without a mask right now,

00:37:36.620 because then you're a criminal. 0.63

00:37:38.340 They've already done this.

00:37:39.540 You're a criminal on a whole bunch of things every single day if they want to get you.

00:37:44.820 Yeah.

00:37:44.920 My argument is not not to push back because it doesn't matter.

00:37:48.080 My argument is keep pushing back because it works.

00:37:50.660 Absolutely.

00:37:51.200 It's working.

00:37:52.020 Yeah.

00:37:52.280 Back in just a second.

00:37:53.500 Daniel wrote in about Rough Greens.

00:37:55.560 Finnegan is his 12-year-old husky lab who used to sleep most of the day.

00:38:00.760 So we had to spike his food with cheese and ham.

00:38:04.320 And then he wouldn't eat most of his food, sometimes for days.

00:38:08.640 I was skeptical about ordering Rough Greens, but I gave it a try.

00:38:12.320 A month or so in, Finnegan is incredibly active.

00:38:15.800 And he runs and he plays with other dogs.

00:38:18.200 He chases rabbits and squirrels again.

00:38:20.380 He actually asked to be fed every afternoon at four.

00:38:24.260 Now, that is something I want to see.

00:38:26.600 Excuse me.

00:38:27.500 It's four o'clock.

00:38:28.540 Could I have a bowl of food, please?

00:38:30.720 I wish I would discover this product years ago.

00:38:33.540 Daniel, thanks for writing in.

00:38:35.080 It is incredible, especially if you have a finicky dog that just won't eat.

00:38:39.860 It's incredible to see the difference Rough Greens makes.

00:38:43.320 Get a free bag of Rough Greens for your dog to try out.

00:38:46.400 All you pay for is shipping.

00:38:48.000 It's Rough Greens.

00:39:02.860 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:04.460 So, I mean, as if this is your first day with the Glenn Beck Program, I mispronounced Omicron.

00:39:22.440 It's not Omicron.

00:39:23.960 I can't say it either.

00:39:25.360 No.

00:39:26.100 No one can say it, and no one knows how to say it.

00:39:27.940 I think Omicron and Omicron are both acceptable.

00:39:30.940 Omicron is how they announced it when they announced the variant name.

00:39:34.080 So, that's what I've been going with.

00:39:35.360 How about Omicron?

00:39:38.160 It's definitely not Omicron.

00:39:40.300 It's not.

00:39:40.820 No, 100%.

00:39:41.980 I heard that from Fauci.

00:39:43.540 You did hear that from Fauci, and you also may have heard Omicron from Biden.

00:39:48.240 It's never Omicron.

00:39:49.780 No, from Biden I heard,

00:39:51.200 That's kind of what I heard too, but we have the actual video of this.

00:39:59.140 Oh, we do?

00:39:59.620 Yeah.

00:40:00.020 All right.

00:40:00.280 Now, you tell me, none of these, you're looking for Omicron or Omicron.

00:40:04.620 Do you hear that in any of these examples?

00:40:07.480 Omicron.

00:40:08.360 Omicron.

00:40:09.240 Omicron.

00:40:10.100 Omicron.

00:40:11.480 Omicron.

00:40:11.920 I think it's Omicron from Fauci.

00:40:13.480 I think it is.

00:40:14.020 I'm going to start calling it Omicron.

00:40:15.640 Can we hear it one more time?

00:40:16.560 He's the expert.

00:40:17.700 He's science.

00:40:18.600 This is, by the way, these are separate clips from Biden.

00:40:22.000 So, this is not us repeating Biden.

00:40:24.100 He did it Omicron three different times in the press conference.

00:40:27.700 Here it is.

00:40:28.720 Omicron.

00:40:29.660 Omicron.

00:40:30.420 Omicron.

00:40:31.300 Omicron.

00:40:32.640 Omicron.

00:40:33.320 It's the Omicron variant.

00:40:35.400 Are you arguing with science itself?

00:40:37.960 I am.

00:40:38.980 I'm calling it Omicron from here on out.

00:40:42.100 The Omicron variant.

00:40:43.480 I will not be accused of arguing with science.

00:40:48.140 That's true.

00:40:48.680 If you call it Omicron, you are arguing with science because Fauci is science.

00:40:52.880 Yes.

00:40:53.200 So, Omicron it is on this program.

00:40:55.920 Omicron from here on out.

00:41:00.020 I want to talk to you a little bit about Echelon.

00:41:05.240 I know my New Year's resolution last year was to get into shape, but this time I mean it.

00:41:10.460 I remember that resolution.

00:41:11.680 This time I mean it.

00:41:13.720 We actually, both Tanya and I are, yeah, I'm going to be in a bikini by this time next year.

00:41:20.220 Glenn, you can get in shape.

00:41:21.080 That's her goal. 0.98

00:41:21.480 Okay.

00:41:21.760 Yeah.

00:41:22.000 I was going to say, you don't need to wear a bikini even if you get into shape. 0.92

00:41:24.940 Just so you're aware.

00:41:26.320 Anyway, Echelon is an affordable way to get the workout equipment, the workout community,

00:41:31.660 and instructors motivation right in the comfort of your own home.

00:41:35.380 You can buy a different bike or a different instrument, but I've got to tell you, you'll pay way too much.

00:41:42.360 Right now, for a limited time, you can get the fitness equipment that you want, Echelon, at the price that is amazing.

00:41:51.100 You can get up to $800 off the sticker price.

00:41:55.400 To get the exclusive discount, text BECK to 818181.

00:42:01.020 Text BECK to 818181 to get up to $800 off the sticker price.

00:42:07.360 Text BECK 818181.

00:42:09.340 These make for absolutely incredible Christmas gifts.

00:42:13.760 If you know somebody that really wants to stay in shape and wants one of those really expensive bikes, don't pay all of that money.

00:42:22.600 Get the same thing at an incredible price.

00:42:27.000 Echelon.

00:42:27.480 Echelon.

00:42:27.600 Echelon.

00:42:43.760 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:42:54.760 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:01.740 Holy cow. 0.89

00:43:02.920 Welcome to the program.

00:43:04.460 Joe Biden came out last week on the supply chain and said, Santa Claus.

00:43:15.520 Well, I'd like to talk to you a little bit about the supply chain and the price of gasoline.

00:43:22.880 In 60 seconds.

00:43:26.960 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:32.100 You know, there is the price of gas.

00:43:33.620 And then also there's the price of keeping your car on the road.

00:43:38.020 You put on miles on your car and it wears it down over time.

00:43:43.400 The weather comes in and hits you really hard.

00:43:46.880 This is the worst time for car repairs right now.

00:43:49.300 Your car has a hard time adjusting to the weather.

00:43:54.380 And that changeover is really, really difficult on cars.

00:43:57.720 If you don't have a warranty and something goes wrong, geez, God forbid it's a chip.

00:44:03.180 If you don't have a warranty, how long?

00:44:06.400 Just think of this.

00:44:07.320 How long is it going to be that your car is in the shop waiting for that part?

00:44:13.180 Imagine just what it's going to cost you in the car rental alone, let alone the actual fix.

00:44:20.400 CarShield is the best defense against costly repairs that could put a deep freeze on your plans and your finances big time.

00:44:38.460 May apply.

00:44:43.940 Hang on.

00:44:45.100 I need the music for the president.

00:44:48.040 I have a grandkid or some hot little kid.

00:45:07.240 Biden came out last week and talked about the supply chain and said it's not going to be a problem.

00:45:21.520 Well, let me just tell you, the Food and Drug Administration is now warning that the supply chain bottleneck is threatening the availability of over 100 pharmaceutical products.

00:45:31.720 According to the website, the agency has asked manufacturers to evaluate their entire supply chain, including active pharmaceutical ingredients, finish dose forms and any components.

00:45:45.880 And they're saying that there might be some shortage on of heart medications, antibiotics and cancer drugs.

00:45:52.640 But other than that, Santa Claus is coming to town.

00:45:57.520 This is this is what Biden said.

00:46:00.100 If you've watched the news recently, you might think the shelves in all our stores are empty and parents won't be able to get presents for their children on the holidays.

00:46:10.420 But here's the deal.

00:46:12.340 No joke.

00:46:13.360 For the vast majority of the country, that's not happening.

00:46:18.500 Seriously.

00:46:19.880 Because of the actions of the administration that we've taken in partnership with business and labor retailers and grocery stores and properties.

00:46:29.140 Now, I can't promise everybody's going to get the gift they want on time.

00:46:33.480 Only Santa Claus can keep that promise.

00:46:36.200 I also can't promise you that you can get your cancer treatments or your, you know, or your your blood pressure medicine or heart medicine.

00:46:46.160 Because, well, it's not happening.

00:46:48.060 OK, I think maybe we should start taking things seriously.

00:46:52.040 Has this government done anything to protect our critical infrastructure?

00:46:58.060 The first thing we should have done after covid was, hey, we're going to make sure that medicine is available here, that we actually make some critical ingredients for medicines.

00:47:11.140 We didn't do it.

00:47:12.980 Now, instead, we made sure that we have critical infrastructure in case there's ever a war.

00:47:18.260 We have a strategic oil reserve, except let's open it up for gasoline.

00:47:23.380 Because, well, we shut down all the pipelines and gas is getting really, really pricey.

00:47:30.380 So let's open up the strategic oil reserves and make the price go down one point eight cents, not two cents, one point eight.

00:47:42.180 When are we going to replace that in our strategic oil reserves?

00:47:46.540 I want to talk to I want to talk to Tim Stewart.

00:47:49.820 He is the president of the U.S. Oil and Gas Association.

00:47:53.960 Hi, Tim.

00:47:54.380 How are you?

00:47:55.820 Glenn, good morning.

00:47:56.920 I feel like 1973 all over again.

00:47:59.420 Doesn't it?

00:48:00.580 It's crazy.

00:48:02.160 So hang on.

00:48:03.200 Full disclosure.

00:48:04.900 Tim is the brother of the guy who runs my ranch.

00:48:11.380 Listen to this.

00:48:12.180 You want to talk about a family.

00:48:13.360 The guy who runs my ranch, who also happens to be he was a full bird bird colonel, was he not in the Air Force?

00:48:20.960 He was.

00:48:21.720 Yeah.

00:48:22.100 Yeah.

00:48:22.460 Your brother, your other brother is a federal judge and your other brother, your other brother is a congressman.

00:48:31.200 But other than this lazy family stuff, what do you have to show for it?

00:48:37.400 This is one of the most.

00:48:37.960 You probably ought to meet my sisters, actually, because my sisters are far more impressive than the deadbeat brothers that are in the family. 0.99

00:48:46.420 I'm the weak link in all of this.

00:48:48.100 I'm the weak link in all of this.

00:48:49.400 So I understand.

00:48:49.940 Right.

00:48:50.180 I know you're only the president of U.S. Oil and Gas Association.

00:48:53.400 So so tell me what is happening and what what's true on the oil and gas situation.

00:49:02.520 What are we really expecting?

00:49:04.620 Well, sure.

00:49:05.540 But first, you know, you start out talking supply chain.

00:49:07.940 There's six thousand items that are made from petroleum products.

00:49:11.740 You know, that's everything from toolboxes and petroleum jelly to football cleats and everything else.

00:49:16.900 And you can't address the supply chain constraints without addressing the ingredients and the base materials that go into building out the supply chain, the supplies for the chain.

00:49:27.920 And the administration, I think, is, you know, when I say we're going back to 1973, it really is.

00:49:34.360 I've been telling people, you call it feckless, you call it reckless, but it sure is an energy policy.

00:49:40.200 Glenn, what you have is I think you have a situation where people energy policy is being dictated.

00:49:46.900 By people who haven't driven themselves to work for years.

00:49:50.120 This is the classic administration, you know, Wall Street, white shoe, D.C. law firm revolving door where people who have been picked up in black sedans for years are now being driven to their offices to make energy policy for the rest of us.

00:50:04.180 It's really, really frustrating for those of us schleps who actually have to fill up twice a week.

00:50:08.940 So can we go back to where you started before we go to gas?

00:50:11.940 Let's let's go back.

00:50:12.720 The products that are made from petroleum, you know, I used to be a good friend before he passed away of John Huntsman.

00:50:21.660 And I went to his office and in his lobby, he had this like miniature house that was cut in half.

00:50:30.740 And it showed everything that petroleum was involved in.

00:50:34.680 And I mean, it's everything.

00:50:37.420 It's everything.

00:50:38.560 Right.

00:50:38.960 How does it how does the the the world live without a healthy supply of petroleum?

00:50:48.340 Well, it's you know, it's not just gasoline.

00:50:51.580 And that I think is where the administration really misses the mark is, is they think, well, we can drop two cents from actions that we did or didn't take.

00:50:59.640 And boy, look how great we are.

00:51:00.920 But the reality is, is anybody who is waiting for anything to be made or is trying to make anything relies solely on this base material of which we have in absolute abundance across the world, and particularly in the U.S.

00:51:15.320 And yet, for whatever reason, this is sort of that that ideological approach that if it is something that may or may not contribute to a carbon footprint, then it's bad.

00:51:26.640 And that's the whole problem, I think, is you have this administration at this confluence of events where administration arrives at the same time as demand is starting to increase after COVID.

00:51:36.560 And that administration starts to make bad decisions on day one and literally every week they make bad decisions with regards to how do we ensure a basic supply of the basic materials we need?

00:51:48.120 Well, now we're now we're talking.

00:51:49.540 I mean, they just did and talking about opening it up a second time, the strategic oil reserve, which I'm not for when a Republican president does it.

00:51:57.780 That is for strategic purposes.

00:52:00.080 And, you know, maybe that's to keep the gas price down if, you know, it's going to come back down.

00:52:07.180 But with this administration, if they continue to follow what they're doing, gas prices or oil prices will not come down.

00:52:16.020 They'll get higher and higher as they squeeze even tighter and tighter on these companies.

00:52:21.260 Am I right?

00:52:22.440 You know, you're exactly right.

00:52:24.160 And if I could, just for a second, you know, the administration opened up the strategic petroleum reserve and in response to being told no by OPEC, you know, they went to OPEC and begged, please increase production.

00:52:35.460 Well, no, we're going to keep it at what we had planned, OPEC told them.

00:52:38.540 And so the administration came back and said, well, we need to show we need to do something.

00:52:43.120 So let's see, what do we do?

00:52:44.520 Let's dust off the old Marxist playbook that was used by Venezuela.

00:52:47.720 Let's one, accuse industry of being a cartel or colluding for higher prices.

00:52:52.740 And two, we'll drop more out of the strategic petroleum reserve.

00:52:57.520 Some perspective, 50 million barrels sounds like a big number.

00:53:01.020 Reality is, Glenn, that represents one half of one day of global energy consumption.

00:53:05.880 It's less than two and a half days of U.S. consumption.

00:53:09.280 The White House wanted to say, look, we're releasing 50 million barrels because it sounds like a big number.

00:53:13.480 But compared to global crude consumption, it's a rounding error.

00:53:17.120 It's tiny.

00:53:18.200 And the markets laughed it off.

00:53:19.580 You know, within six hours, the price of crude had actually increased.

00:53:24.860 So it was.

00:53:27.200 Sorry, go ahead.

00:53:28.220 I mean, I'm baffled myself.

00:53:29.900 I can say.

00:53:30.500 Yeah.

00:53:30.900 I mean, it is it is so obvious.

00:53:35.480 Does do you think anybody believes that this administration is doing anything other than crippling the oil industry?

00:53:43.160 I mean, do you have any research or anything that shows perception from people?

00:53:48.920 Well, see, and that's a great question.

00:53:50.680 You know, we we sit and we scratch our heads.

00:53:52.400 We say, are they doing this on purpose or are they doing this because they don't understand?

00:53:56.820 And if they don't because they don't understand, then they're feckless.

00:53:59.620 They're doing it on purpose.

00:54:00.620 Then they're reckless.

00:54:01.440 And that takes me back to my my first point, you know, this series of bad decisions.

00:54:06.720 And literally, it's almost week by week.

00:54:09.380 The reality is, is, is, you know, like I didn't buy a president.

00:54:13.440 If I had a poker night, I didn't buy a president by Biden to poker night because he is the worst poker player I've ever seen.

00:54:18.800 He sends he sends mixed messages all the time.

00:54:21.860 And every single day that goes to the markets.

00:54:24.520 And that's why the markets are fluctuating, because they can't figure out exactly where the administration is going.

00:54:30.320 Well, wait, what what is the mixed message here on oil and gas?

00:54:34.180 Great.

00:54:34.700 You know, great question.

00:54:35.660 OK, so on one hand, they say, well, you know, we're going to do everything we can to help consumers.

00:54:41.360 And then literally the next day, they will take an action that will constrain industry's ability to produce.

00:54:47.680 The biggest the biggest subtle signal, Glenn, goes to Wall Street continuously.

00:54:53.580 They will use they're using financial rules.

00:54:55.840 They're using the SEC, the Office of Comptroller Currency.

00:54:58.820 They're using the FTC and others to send subtle messages to Wall Street to say, our policy says that you should not you should not invest in fossil fuel projects.

00:55:09.200 And so it's really easy to send a bank examiner in to a midsize bank and say, let me look at your portfolio.

00:55:16.180 You know, I see that you've got maybe three percent of your portfolio investing in fossil fuels.

00:55:22.340 So what do you have to be factored in the climate risk to that?

00:55:25.820 And the bank manager says, well, maybe not.

00:55:28.600 And so he walks out and says, let's just unload this.

00:55:30.420 And what's happening is you've seen a squeeze of liquidity, particularly for the smaller players on Wall Street,

00:55:35.240 where they can't get their capital expenditure budgets funded for the next couple of years because of the uncertainty the administration sends and its messages every day.

00:55:43.900 Well, they said the administration or who was it, Stu, was it Kerry came out and said the especially the small producers, we will put them out of business.

00:55:56.120 Yeah.

00:55:56.740 I mean, how much of our of our daily life is affected by the small producers?

00:56:03.940 But it's not the same amount that is affected by a small farmer, to be honest with you.

00:56:09.600 Agriculture and oil and gas industry are very closely aligned in how they're how they structure.

00:56:15.240 You have a few large, large players in the ag industry, but it's the thousands and thousands of small farmers who actually make up the volume.

00:56:23.120 And same with oil and gas.

00:56:24.500 So you have a few players that everybody identifies as big oil and beats them up.

00:56:28.360 But the reality is there's thousands of smaller companies who create and who create tremendous volume and add to the portfolio day by day.

00:56:37.280 And it's those guys that are getting hit hardest when they can't get their their budgets approved by their lenders because Wall Street is telling them don't do it because the administration is telling Wall Street not to do it.

00:56:49.300 So I've been I've been begging the audience to get their money out of these big lenders because of this and other things like it.

00:56:57.620 They are fully in bed with a great reset and ESG standards, which will strangle all of us to death.

00:57:05.400 And and so I've been urging people, please tell them and then move your money to a local bank.

00:57:13.480 Tell them why why you are taking your money out because of the ESG standards.

00:57:19.600 You want nothing to do with it.

00:57:21.320 It's not going to fix the problem, but it will certainly buy time and send a message, hopefully, to the market, the banking market.

00:57:28.560 What else can we do?

00:57:31.420 Well, you know, keep using the product for sure.

00:57:34.480 I don't think I have a choice.

00:57:37.660 But, you know, and look, I've been doing this a long time.

00:57:41.200 And I tell people it's a fool's errand to bet against this industry.

00:57:44.600 It is cyclical in nature.

00:57:46.360 And the reality is, is that we produce exactly what people need.

00:57:49.920 And we'll keep doing that regardless of who is who is dictating policy right now.

00:57:54.480 There is a problem, though, Glenn, that nobody talks about the White House.

00:57:58.380 The White House avoids at all at all costs.

00:58:01.320 And that is this issue of energy poverty.

00:58:02.980 And, you know, it's easy for me to say to people, use our product.

00:58:07.540 But when the reality is, look, we're industries cognizant of this fluctuating price mark and how hard it is for people.

00:58:14.620 And energy poverty is something very, very real.

00:58:17.340 You know, I don't know if you saw this, but there's a Gallup poll that came out last week that said 45 percent of Americans are reporting financial hardship by increased prices.

00:58:25.180 Seven in ten lower American households are experiencing real hardship, and that's pushing millions of people back into what we're calling energy poverty.

00:58:35.880 It's because you make rational decisions.

00:58:38.000 Do I drive the 40 miles to the doctor?

00:58:41.200 Do I do it on Tuesday or do I do it on Friday?

00:58:43.840 Because I don't know if I can afford the fill up for the rest of the week.

00:58:47.000 That's really concerning to us, you know.

00:58:49.020 And I'm really, I'm really concerned, very, really, very concerned, Tim, about this winter.

00:58:57.600 I mean, there are a lot of people that, you know, use oil and gas for their furnace that are going to have to not just say, do I go to the doctor?

00:59:06.140 But do I turn the heat up?

00:59:09.280 And that's I mean, we are we're I don't think no one in the media and certainly no one in the administration is addressing this issue.

00:59:19.200 And they're pretending that it's not going to exist.

00:59:22.160 But it is.

00:59:23.580 It's already here.

00:59:25.620 Right.

00:59:26.180 And so, you know, people say, well, what would you tell the administration to do?

00:59:29.420 Glenn, I say I would say if I were to tell the president, say, look, whatever you're going to do, don't do it.

00:59:35.380 In fact, I need you to stop trying to help anymore.

00:59:38.140 The biggest help you would do would be is to go back and undo what you've done since January.

00:59:43.680 When I said, you know, I'm earlier he's a he's a lousy poker player.

00:59:46.580 All he would have to do to send a signal to the Saudis and the Russians, if he were to stand up and say, instead of I'm going to release money or release oil out of the petroleum reserve or something else.

00:59:56.860 If you were to stand up and say, I'm going to sign an executive order that removes all unnecessary regulatory impediments to industry and get us back to where we were two years ago.

01:00:04.560 So that would send an incredibly powerful market market signal.

01:00:08.760 And I guarantee you that prices would drop rapidly over the next few weeks and those Americans would be able to afford it.

01:00:14.840 Talking to Tim, Tim Stewart, president of U.S. Oil and Gas Association.

01:00:20.480 Let me take a one minute break here.

01:00:22.040 And Tim, I'll come back.

01:00:22.920 I've just got a couple of questions.

01:00:24.020 American Financing NMLS 182334 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org

01:00:31.120 We continue to face so many unknowns, so many market changes, so much inflation.

01:00:35.740 It has never been more important to protect your family and your finances, which is why I want you to pick up the phone today and give American Financing a call.

01:00:43.460 Let them look at your home loan, because whether you have a 30 year, 15 year, even a jumbo loan, it doesn't matter.

01:00:50.020 You'll still get free, no obligation mortgage review, in which you'll learn about ways that your home can work for you.

01:00:58.040 They've been helping people just like you for 20 years.

01:01:02.000 Give American Financing a call right now and save money.

01:01:08.060 800-906-2440

01:01:09.980 Americanfinancing.net

01:01:12.580 10 seconds, station ID.

01:01:20.020 Tim, a couple of quick questions for you.

01:01:25.900 When Barack Obama stopped the drilling, the deep sea drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, I remember talking to oil experts and they said, those things are on long term lease.

01:01:42.080 You get rid of them.

01:01:43.540 It's going to be a long time before they're able even to come back and you just don't build a new one quickly.

01:01:49.320 Can we reverse this?

01:01:52.300 Is there going to be damage done in the next three years that is irreversible?

01:01:59.040 Well, so given some perspective, when Obama took office, the federal oil and natural gas production was about 24 percent or sorry, about 36 percent.

01:02:09.540 When he left, it had dropped down to about 24 percent and natural gas had dropped to 13 percent.

01:02:17.260 And a lot of that is reflecting on not just the offshore, but also his onshore constraints.

01:02:21.780 And essentially, they devalued the federal oil and gas assets where it is almost worth nothing.

01:02:29.320 The industry is very, very reticent to try and pursue any federal onshore leases in particular.

01:02:34.080 It's just not worth the regulatory risk, locking up the capital for 16, 17 years.

01:02:40.420 One last one last thing.

01:02:42.280 Do you have any idea of what you think I think gas is going to be?

01:02:47.600 I mean, it just hit five dollars a gallon in California this weekend.

01:02:50.840 Any idea what we could be facing in the next few months?

01:02:56.620 Well, you know, a lot of that is so there's so many unknowns.

01:02:59.220 I mean, with that COVID variant had caused a much greater drop in crude prices than anything Biden did.

01:03:06.260 But we imagine we're seeing production inventory start to stabilize.

01:03:11.800 From industry's perspective, we don't like oil that's in the $80 a barrel.

01:03:16.160 It's too difficult for us.

01:03:18.720 And so we're doing everything we can to get production up to where it needs to be,

01:03:22.880 despite the federal intervention that's there to keep us from doing that.

01:03:26.960 We're hopeful we get down to Americans can get back to work and do what they need to do. 1.00

01:03:31.120 Tim Stewart, president of the U.S. Oil and Gas Association.

01:03:36.260 Thank you for being on with us.

01:03:38.260 God bless you.

01:03:38.840 It was great.

01:03:39.840 Thanks, man.

01:03:40.340 Talk to you later.

01:03:40.820 Back in just a second with more.

01:03:43.800 Oh, we stop at the Cuomo household.

01:03:48.780 Oh, now two brothers unemployed.

01:03:54.200 Stu has that report when we come back.

01:04:01.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:04:03.680 Standing up for what you really believe in can be hard.

01:04:08.320 And sometimes you don't know how to do it.

01:04:10.280 And you feel like, you know, I don't I don't have any juice.

01:04:12.880 Well, you do.

01:04:13.780 I've been talking to you about the banks.

01:04:15.880 Get your money out of these large banks.

01:04:18.920 If we all if just this audience did this, you would send an earthquake of a message to the giant banks.

01:04:27.620 Now, another way to do it, Patriot Mobile.

01:04:31.340 If just this audience switched right now to Patriot Mobile, an earthquake to Verizon and all the big mobile companies.

01:04:41.080 This is how they have won by doing that against people like us in in in conservative media.

01:04:49.400 They destroy us.

01:04:51.700 Well, now you have the ability to play on a level playing field because you have something that is just as good and will save you money from the big guys.

01:05:26.760 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:05:37.940 Stu and I were just talking off air about the metaverse.

01:05:42.160 And believe it or not, the metaverse is coming and we're going to be talking about it beginning next year.

01:05:48.640 But you're ready for this land prices.

01:05:52.560 Land prices in the metaverse.

01:05:57.960 There are now going for as high as six million dollars for a piece of land that doesn't exist.

01:06:08.300 And I'm trying to get my arms around this and find a way to explain it, because it is going to be a factor and it's going to happen much faster than anybody thinks.

01:06:20.380 And you need to be prepared to to understand it, because if you're not going into the inner the metaverse, I guarantee your children will.

01:06:32.200 And it will become one of those.

01:06:33.940 It will become something as.

01:06:37.220 As essential.

01:06:39.340 And I say that with air quotes as essential as a smartphone now, because I don't like this version of the metaverse.

01:06:45.840 Yeah, which is where we just stare at our phones and don't talk to each other.

01:06:49.260 Yeah, right.

01:06:49.940 I don't even like that, let alone what this could be.

01:06:52.620 Well, let's go back to the real universe, the actual one where there are yet some consequences.

01:07:01.480 Chris Cuomo, the Fredo of the family, was put into the little boat and taken fishing by CNN this weekend.

01:07:09.380 That's nice.

01:07:10.100 Yeah.

01:07:10.480 Nice little trip out to the water.

01:07:12.380 Yeah, you should see the Godfather.

01:07:13.500 Anyway, so Fredo is out on the boat.

01:07:17.060 And when they come, when, you know, the guy who took him fishing comes back and goes, I don't know what happened.

01:07:22.740 He was lost at sea along with my shotgun.

01:07:25.820 Anyway, they don't say what Fredo did to finally get him fired.

01:07:32.560 This is a really interesting part of the story.

01:07:36.160 Obviously, we all know what Cuomo has done that should have gotten him fired.

01:07:41.440 You know, everything from helping his brother to completely failing as a host, to lying to the network, to lying to his own audience, to previous sexual harassment allegations that were confirmed basically by Chris Cuomo himself.

01:07:57.720 All of those things did not rise to the level for CNN to do anything.

01:08:04.260 Now, eventually, they did suspend him.

01:08:06.440 And they suspended him based on, I think, a couple of things.

01:08:10.460 One, there was some additional information that came out from the state of New York.

01:08:16.160 And we covered this a little bit last week.

01:08:18.800 Probably the worst part of this was he was actually targeting one of the women and calling sources to get information on one of the women.

01:08:26.760 But that still wasn't bad enough for CNN.

01:08:29.880 Right.

01:08:30.180 Then he also was outed as lying, not only to the audience, but to the network itself.

01:08:37.200 So it's one thing to actually break every journalistic piece of ethics that's ever happened in the history of mankind, where even their own Jake Tapper himself came out and said, no journalist could possibly think this was OK.

01:08:49.200 This is back in May.

01:08:50.180 And they still didn't do anything.

01:08:51.100 So he crosses this line where now he's not only lying to the audience and, you know, ruining journalism, but he's also now embarrassed his employers.

01:09:03.080 So and that's hard.

01:09:04.680 Brian Stelter came out and said on Saturday that Cuomo had, quote, caused so many headaches and many staff members at CNN were very unhappy at their decision.

01:09:18.620 This is fascinating because, number one, Stelter said earlier, he'll be back in January.

01:09:23.220 He'll be back in January.

01:09:23.800 He was the one person who was really kind of on the optimistic Cuomo train here that he might actually be back.

01:09:29.300 There's a lot of reporting that he was done with Zucker because of the embarrassment.

01:09:33.020 He might have had a crush on him. 0.99

01:09:34.260 Maybe he was thinking, maybe somebody will grab my butt. 0.99

01:09:36.660 I don't know. 0.99

01:09:37.800 Some people like different things.

01:09:39.120 We do have the Stelter quote, by the way.

01:09:40.940 It's a this is clip five.

01:09:43.480 Listen to this.

01:09:44.220 This is about a confluence of factors, about a series of headaches that seemed like they were never going to end.

01:09:53.220 I said on the air last night when the news broke, this seems like a case of death by a thousand cuts.

01:09:57.740 And my reporting sense backs that assessment up.

01:10:00.120 This was about not any single headache, but many headaches that continued to pile up.

01:10:05.940 A hundred thousand in the demo.

01:10:07.100 We'll do that to you.

01:10:07.860 Yeah.

01:10:09.440 He was he was dying.

01:10:12.180 The ratings were dying.

01:10:14.220 And Anderson Cooper came in and they went up, which is not a huge surprise, I suppose.

01:10:17.520 But I think one of the issues here, which is bizarre, is that the last cut of the thousand cuts appears to be a brand new sexual harassment allegation against Chris Cuomo that apparently has popped up over just the past few days.

01:10:38.440 And when it was reported to CNN, I said, OK, we just got to get this over with.

01:10:42.200 We got to just we got to pull the plug on this.

01:10:43.840 This is this is a disaster.

01:10:44.960 Now, they don't want to go through another investigation on this, which is what they'd probably have to do.

01:10:49.440 It comes through a prominent lawyer.

01:10:51.100 We don't know any of the details really yet, although the two things that we know is that she's remaining anonymous and that it seemingly was pre 2013.

01:11:04.520 So it's an older allegation, not a brand new one.

01:11:07.840 Well, how old were you when you were 2013?

01:11:11.140 It seems like ancient history.

01:11:12.520 Yeah.

01:11:12.720 Actually, I will say it does feel like ancient history for other reasons, but not for an allegation like this.

01:11:17.340 So this this is coming from the woman who is representing the health policy advisor in Cuomo's administration.

01:11:25.800 So that that lawyer was approached by this new person that said, I can't take it anymore.

01:11:33.480 Yes.

01:11:33.760 I'm watching him on TV saying these things.

01:11:36.740 This is just like last week or the week before.

01:11:39.080 And I cannot take it anymore and went in and filed.

01:11:44.220 And she's like, look, I just I don't want to do anything.

01:11:47.880 I don't want anything.

01:11:48.840 I just can't take his constant lies and his imaging of himself as a saint.

01:11:57.900 It's interesting that that has been a common trigger for these allegations.

01:12:03.120 You know, it's one thing to go up there to apparently just sexually harass people, but it's later on.

01:12:09.800 You kind of have that instance where the host is saying something on television and, you know, the victim, the alleged victim is sitting at home and hearing.

01:12:20.140 Wait a minute.

01:12:20.560 This is the same thing we heard with Don Lemon.

01:12:22.260 Right.

01:12:22.780 Don Lemon had this incident reportedly with or, you know, allegedly with this guy at a bar.

01:12:29.280 I don't think it's a legend.

01:12:29.960 I mean, there's all kinds of people that were there.

01:12:33.700 He's denying it.

01:12:34.540 So back it up there.

01:12:35.560 But yes, but there are there are there does seem to be a significant amount of evidence that at least the event occurred.

01:12:41.080 I mean, some of this other allegations on the side of that, it's hard to know.

01:12:45.340 But at least that the event occurred in some form.

01:12:48.180 Yes.

01:12:48.420 Anyway, it wasn't until he went on the air and said, you know, correct.

01:12:53.200 All these things about how allegations need to be taken seriously.

01:12:56.680 And I've always stood up for women in these situations.

01:12:59.240 It wasn't until that that the accuser came forward.

01:13:03.060 Same thing here.

01:13:03.780 We've seen this multiple times now where Andrew Cuomo himself.

01:13:08.840 The same thing happened to him where he initially said to the first accusers, basically, I didn't do anything.

01:13:15.320 What are you talking about?

01:13:16.180 And took this high minded stance.

01:13:17.760 And that that inspired his other victims, allegedly, to come forward and say, OK, I wasn't going to say anything.

01:13:27.460 But now that you're doing this, I have to.

01:13:30.920 Which is amazing and is so utterly predictable when you know the Cuomo's characters.

01:13:38.480 I mean, I'm at the point, Glenn, I'm not going to have anybody to talk about anymore.

01:13:42.080 They're all getting fired.

01:13:43.700 It is a 100 percent unemployment rate, as the Babylon Bee said.

01:13:48.340 In the Cuomo household, it's worse.

01:13:51.040 It's 100 percent unemployment.

01:13:52.820 It is.

01:13:53.360 It's sad.

01:13:54.020 I mean, I feel like I what am I going to do?

01:13:56.680 I've based my household budget on Andrew Cuomo and Chris Cuomo merchandise.

01:14:00.340 I have to reform my entire household budget.

01:14:04.040 Kids aren't going to private school anymore.

01:14:05.800 Sorry, kids.

01:14:06.680 Now they're collectibles.

01:14:08.280 Oh, yes.

01:14:09.440 Now they're collectibles.

01:14:10.520 Now they're collectibles, by the way, available at andrewcuomoisawful.com or chriscuomosworse.com.

01:14:14.620 But you're right.

01:14:15.740 Like, it is at that point where it's so over the top.

01:14:19.740 And, you know, the Cuomo thing has gone down the rails so fast.

01:14:25.020 Remember this.

01:14:26.420 When Andrew was going down, when it was finally they came to the end of the road with Andrew

01:14:31.520 and they realized this is not savable.

01:14:33.600 One thing they did was to leak to every media source covering this before it happened.

01:14:38.960 So it was in all the initial stories that Chris Cuomo actually was the one who pushed

01:14:44.640 Andrew over the over the edge and said, you must resign.

01:14:47.360 It's time.

01:14:48.100 They tried everything they could to save the secondary layer of Cuomo's from the fall of

01:14:54.200 the first layer of Cuomo's.

01:14:55.520 And they were unsuccessful in doing it.

01:14:58.280 Chris was so out of control and acted so poorly throughout all of this that they couldn't

01:15:03.580 even save him after losing Andrew.

01:15:07.380 I think this is a really good development.

01:15:10.760 Look, they say that, you know, CNN wasn't affected.

01:15:15.000 CNN was greatly affected.

01:15:17.720 Greatly affected.

01:15:18.900 Not only in their credibility and exposed who they really are, because they still have

01:15:23.140 Don Lemon and they have what's his name?

01:15:26.200 Jack.

01:15:31.900 You know, Jack.

01:15:33.440 Jeffrey Toobin.

01:15:33.900 Yes, Jeffrey Toobin.

01:15:35.660 So anyway, they still have Toobin and they still have Don Lemon.

01:15:42.540 So they really they are.

01:15:44.280 They haven't changed.

01:15:44.980 But the key is Andrew Cuomo or I mean, Chris Cuomo had lost so many viewers.

01:15:54.080 None of us are counted in that.

01:15:56.300 I don't know of a soul in this audience was like, you know, but I really liked Andrew Cuomo.

01:16:01.280 I was watching that show no matter what anybody says.

01:16:04.460 Yeah.

01:16:04.660 No, that is hardcore CNN zombies.

01:16:08.280 OK.

01:16:09.420 And that audience was going away, went away, went away.

01:16:16.360 That's a good thing.

01:16:17.860 That shows that even the hardcore people are like, OK, OK.

01:16:22.320 I mean, I've hit my limits here.

01:16:24.500 I've hit rock bottom.

01:16:26.120 Yeah.

01:16:26.380 I think I'm going to stop drinking this Kool-Aid.

01:16:29.080 It is.

01:16:29.680 I think I think it's a positive.

01:16:31.280 I don't think they had any intention of getting rid of them, rid of him if they could have

01:16:37.800 weathered it.

01:16:38.380 And I think they hit that limit where even they said there's just no there's no argument

01:16:42.980 anymore.

01:16:43.700 It's possible that the leadership at CNN felt so personally burned by Andrew Cuomo after

01:16:50.400 him.

01:16:50.880 You know, it's like I remember Hillary Clinton when she came out.

01:16:53.640 She's like, it's a vast right wing conspiracy.

01:16:55.500 Yeah.

01:16:55.600 Yeah.

01:16:55.780 And then we've proven obviously to be true.

01:16:58.320 It was so embarrassing to Hillary.

01:17:02.440 Right.

01:17:02.920 And everyone said at the time, like, I can't believe she's going to stay with him just

01:17:06.480 because of that.

01:17:07.180 It's just she made he made her go out in public and and defend him with what he knew was a

01:17:14.180 lie.

01:17:14.700 And that is, I think, part of the thing.

01:17:16.500 I honestly think that they would have fired him if it was that before this.

01:17:21.520 This is good.

01:17:23.660 Now this.

01:17:24.820 Right.

01:17:25.180 It's too much.

01:17:25.900 Yeah.

01:17:26.160 It's just I can't.

01:17:29.560 What else is there going to be?

01:17:31.120 If we ignore this one, what else is coming next?

01:17:34.480 I think.

01:17:35.000 And you listen to Stelter's commentary on it.

01:17:37.500 He's right.

01:17:38.120 I think.

01:17:38.540 I do think he's right on the analysis there.

01:17:42.080 They were so overwhelmed by his terrible behavior over such a long period of time.

01:17:47.680 They eventually hit their wall.

01:17:49.540 Any.

01:17:50.040 But normal journalistic organization would have hit it on day one.

01:17:53.800 Oh, yeah.

01:17:54.140 Yeah.

01:17:54.320 Yeah.

01:17:54.480 But they it took them a year and a half.

01:17:56.940 No, he hit.

01:17:57.520 He's like a crash test dummy that just put the car back into reverse, backed up and slammed

01:18:02.740 against the wall over and over and over again.

01:18:05.720 And the GM's like, OK, all right, enough.

01:18:10.680 All right.

01:19:53.040 Yes.

01:19:53.640 So what did you see?

01:19:54.500 I saw the French dispatch.

01:19:56.020 The the what?

01:20:01.040 The French dispatch.

01:20:02.140 You're not excited about it.

01:20:03.260 You didn't you haven't seen it yet.

01:20:04.780 No, I haven't even heard of it.

01:20:06.880 Really?

01:20:07.300 No, no, that's not what.

01:20:09.380 What what what what what exactly is?

01:20:11.480 I mean, don't think I don't watch upstairs downstairs with you, lovey.

01:20:16.640 But what the hell is that?

01:20:18.740 So I'm a fan of Wes Anderson and Wes Anderson movies.

01:20:20.980 And this is his new one that was supposed to come out in April or May of 2020.

01:20:26.020 Um, so I have seen the Wes Anderson and I thought I want to go see that and I don't remember what it was about.

01:20:33.040 Yeah.

01:20:33.160 Like, you know, this is like the Royal Tenenbaums is one of my favorite movies.

01:20:36.200 I love that movie.

01:20:37.340 Um, you know, Moonrise Kingdom and and there's a bunch of really, really, really good ones.

01:20:42.940 Um, and it's you have to really be in the mood for it and really like this sort of stuff.

01:20:48.460 Um, but I did see the French dispatch.

01:20:50.220 It's like a Wes Anderson movie.

01:20:52.380 If you gave him just said, hey, whatever you do, don't do anything that might bring in a large audience.

01:20:58.780 Just do what you want in every single moment.

01:21:03.160 And that is the French dispatch.

01:21:05.580 Woody, Woody Allen.

01:21:06.820 You know what?

01:21:08.100 You should also play the clarinet in all of your.

01:21:12.000 Yes.

01:21:12.700 On the screen.

01:21:13.920 Yes.

01:21:14.380 Through all of it.

01:21:15.180 All of it.

01:21:15.660 Play the clarinet.

01:21:16.920 That is sort of what this is.

01:21:18.080 And I like him.

01:21:18.980 So I liked it.

01:21:19.740 But I don't.

01:21:20.200 I it's not going to break any box office records.

01:21:23.120 I fear.

01:21:24.560 I don't think.

01:21:25.280 What is it even about?

01:21:26.580 It's basically, um, about a mythical, um, newspaper or like publication.

01:21:36.020 Um, it's sort of like his love letter to the New Yorker.

01:21:38.780 Apparently when he was very young, that's how he got into storytelling and loves the New Yorker.

01:21:43.960 So think about, think about a Wes Anderson love letter to the New Yorker.

01:21:47.900 You know what I saw?

01:21:48.880 Through a fictional lens.

01:21:50.020 You know what?

01:21:50.380 And he got this movie nailed.

01:21:51.220 That's great.

01:21:51.740 So a movie you don't understand.

01:21:52.800 Um, uh, I saw Ghostbusters Afterlife.

01:21:56.640 Oh yeah.

01:21:57.180 Good.

01:21:57.320 Have you seen it?

01:21:57.880 No.

01:21:58.720 Fantastic.

01:21:59.360 Really?

01:22:00.120 Absolutely fantastic.

01:22:01.920 Gotta see that.

01:22:03.160 Gotta see that.

01:22:03.960 More.

01:22:04.340 Would you say more audience friendly than the French dispatch?

01:22:09.600 There's a lot of clarinet in this.

01:22:11.460 No, there's no clarinet in this one.

01:22:13.520 Yes.

01:22:14.920 Yes.

01:22:15.640 Back in a minute.

01:22:16.400 When you're a dog owner, you want to do everything to give them a long, happy, and healthy life.

01:22:27.780 My dog Uno is 10 and he's part of the family and 10 years is old for a German shepherd, but he acts like a puppy now.

01:22:38.860 Rough Greens has given him back the vitality he had as a puppy.

01:22:42.220 He used to be the pickiest eater.

01:22:44.460 Now he scarfs his food down.

01:22:46.700 He has so much energy.

01:22:48.220 He is having Tanya and I honestly this Saturday we're talking about and we were watching him.

01:22:52.660 He is wagging his tail all the time.

01:22:54.460 He is so happy now.

01:22:56.320 It's great to see.

01:22:58.280 A big part of that is Rough Greens.

01:23:24.800 Jason Buttrell is coming in with some more bad news about war someplace.

01:23:32.720 I'm sure that Neocon.

01:23:39.560 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:59.480 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:10.580 Hello, America.

01:24:11.980 You know, I know it's Monday, but let's just get this out of the way on Monday and then we can enjoy the rest of the week.

01:24:19.620 There is potential trouble in Iran.

01:24:22.260 Iran, they are not going to agree to any deal that that doesn't improve the Obama era pack.

01:24:31.940 So they're looking at Joe Biden going, no, we're not going to just take that back.

01:24:35.960 We want something better than that.

01:24:37.800 Then you have China flying planes into Taiwan's airspace.

01:24:46.600 And they're saying now that we're thinking we just might reclaim that land any day now.

01:24:53.320 Plus, they're also jamming our satellites and attacking our satellites.

01:24:58.940 Russia's also attacking our satellites.

01:25:00.980 And they've also decided, I think it's a good time of year to take Ukraine. 0.98

01:25:08.820 A big battle in Ukraine with Russia is coming. 0.80

01:25:13.520 What are we going to do about it?

01:25:15.540 Because I can't believe that the dictators aren't thinking what all of us are thinking.

01:25:22.820 This president's not going to do anything about it.

01:25:26.080 He's weak and the country is weak.

01:25:28.860 This is the time where I said, the whole world will look at the United States of America at a weak point ago.

01:25:37.400 Now, go, go, go, go, go.

01:25:39.460 That's what's coming.

01:25:42.000 Our expert in foreign affairs and head writer, Jason Buttrill, is coming up in 60 seconds.

01:26:01.540 All right.

01:26:03.000 Yes, that's what I do.

01:26:04.780 But I can't remember all of those.

01:26:07.260 I mean, it's just so frustrating.

01:26:09.100 You can't remember any of them.

01:26:10.600 Anyway, don't tell anybody.

01:26:13.020 Mine is ABC123 exclamation point.

01:26:18.680 That's tricky.

01:26:19.560 It's the exclamation point that gets them every time.

01:26:21.360 I'm never going to get that.

01:26:22.060 Yeah.

01:26:22.420 Sometimes I put two of them.

01:26:25.340 Cybercriminal.

01:27:37.580 How are you, sir?

01:27:38.600 Well, you know, I was fine until you kind of read off that little list of everything going on in the world.

01:27:44.760 Yeah, I mean, I was good until then.

01:27:46.340 But aren't you glad that the grown-ups are now at the table?

01:27:49.000 Oh, I am.

01:27:50.240 I am.

01:27:50.920 It's really good.

01:27:52.120 Boy, we're being taken seriously around the world now.

01:27:54.800 Yes, and, you know, every time I think that I'm done looking at Ukraine, they just pull me right back in. 1.00

01:27:59.840 I just get pulled right back in.

01:28:01.880 It's like Godfather 3.

01:28:03.420 Oh, I was just about out, and they pulled me back in.

01:28:07.160 This is interesting.

01:28:08.160 So this came out, I think it was in the New York Times, that U.S. intelligence has now said that 170,000 Russian troops.

01:28:15.020 Yes.

01:28:15.500 They'll be involved in an invasion.

01:28:17.160 They're saying as early as 2022.

01:28:19.320 That's in a few months.

01:28:20.740 Anytime in a few months.

01:28:21.700 So, like, basically tomorrow, they're saying this could happen, and it's a big deal.

01:28:25.760 And normally I would think, eh, you know, I don't think Putin would pull that trigger.

01:28:29.860 Oh, yeah, he is.

01:28:30.760 I think he's definitely at that point.

01:28:33.520 Of course he will.

01:28:34.500 And you can't blame him.

01:28:36.100 You look at the things that, I mean, I never would have thought Afghanistan would happen. 1.00

01:28:40.140 It did happen.

01:28:41.360 And normally I give our leaders the benefit of the doubt on, well, something must have happened.

01:28:44.980 No, no, no, I think that they're just actually incompetent, and I also think that they don't care, because I think they want America to return to that mediocre, less than mediocre status.

01:28:54.280 I think that's what they are.

01:29:35.800 I need a promo code.

01:29:36.880 That's, I need a personal home code.

01:29:38.900 Glenn 20.

01:29:39.860 Glenn 20.

01:29:40.740 Yeah.

01:29:41.300 You look at some of the things that they've done that have completely undermined our ability

01:29:44.300 to just even keep stability without having to send armed forces.

01:29:47.700 Things that we would not do if you were being serious.

01:29:50.380 Things that were done in the Trump administration, but he never got credit for.

01:29:53.000 Like greenlighting the pipeline that would completely circumvent Ukraine, Nord Stream 2.

01:29:58.240 Yep.

01:29:58.820 We were like, why is he doing this?

01:30:00.380 Like, what is, is he working on some other kind of backroom deal?

01:30:03.760 Like, like if Trump would have done this, there's an, oh, you know, he's working with

01:30:07.760 the Russians, working with the Russians, Putin's bottom, you know, but Biden did that and it

01:30:13.240 completely kind of gave up the Trump card that Ukraine had in some kind of stability

01:30:18.920 because the only thing stopping Putin from just rolling straight through, if he wanted

01:30:23.120 to, was he would be just as decimated as Ukraine would be, you know, economically.

01:30:27.600 But now that's, that's gone away.

01:30:29.620 And all of these Eastern Bloc countries that were on the edge, Poland, Transylvania, and

01:30:36.880 others are, they're all, they're begging us.

01:30:39.980 They're all saying, this is trouble.

01:30:41.520 This is trouble.

01:30:42.140 You can't let him take the Ukraine, please. 0.85

01:30:46.300 Cause he's threatening all of them.

01:30:47.840 Yeah.

01:30:48.340 The Ukrainian defense minister, this is how dire they see their situation right now.

01:30:52.700 Just said, uh, I think yesterday that he wants U S Canadian and British troops, not a chance

01:30:59.840 an actual physical presence on the front line to deter what's about to happen.

01:31:04.860 So they see this, they see the writing of the wall.

01:31:07.500 They see this is coming.

01:31:09.060 Um, this is coming, but we won't, we're not coming.

01:31:12.080 So there's 70,000 troops on the border right now.

01:31:15.160 That's, that's, that's a conservative estimate.

01:31:16.920 There could be as much as 90,000, that 170,000 troops.

01:31:20.980 And let's put these numbers into context.

01:31:22.460 That's more than the entire United Kingdom military, not just military army, Marines,

01:31:28.300 whatever the entire military.

01:31:30.720 Wow.

01:31:31.280 That's the type of numbers we're looking at.

01:31:33.480 That's how weak England is.

01:31:35.700 And we haven't taken them yet.

01:31:37.080 Right.

01:31:37.480 We need to correct that. 0.91

01:31:38.640 I mean, that's ridiculous. 0.69

01:31:40.160 You could have that right for the taking. 0.90

01:31:42.000 The queen would be ours.

01:31:44.600 Um, yes, I, I see this as similar to, if you want to look at this in context, uh, like

01:31:49.700 a 2008 Georgia situation.

01:31:51.880 Now I think that, I think that Putin did that specifically because of Ukraine, what was going

01:31:56.460 on in Ukraine?

01:31:57.240 That's when you started seeing those color revolutions popping up.

01:32:00.540 They were George Soros and our state department was part of, right?

01:32:05.360 Exactly.

01:32:05.960 And yeah.

01:32:06.400 And was a part of through 2014.

01:32:08.240 Yep.

01:32:09.220 Um, but it was a direct message for him to say, look, if you think that you're going to

01:32:13.960 take a country that we believe is ours, if you think NATO and the United States can protect

01:32:17.940 you, they can't, what are they going to do?

01:32:19.700 They've, they're trying to get in bed with Georgia.

01:32:21.320 We'll just invade Georgia. 0.99

01:32:22.420 They did it.

01:32:23.100 We couldn't do a thing about it.

01:32:24.760 That's exactly the same thing that's going to happen to Ukraine.

01:32:26.900 Now is the time for him to deliver that message.

01:32:29.300 If you believe anywhere in the world that a U S guarantee of security means anything at

01:32:34.060 all.

01:32:34.540 No.

01:32:34.780 And think of that.

01:32:35.620 Taiwan, Taiwan, Japan, uh, any of these Eastern block countries that we say, don't worry, 0.82

01:32:41.020 we got you, bro.

01:32:41.740 Well, let's see what they're going to do.

01:32:43.300 Australia, if things, if things, if they take Taiwan, everything is on the table, everything

01:32:50.180 is on the table.

01:32:50.940 And I don't, I mean, Mr. Neocon Jason, I'm sure you want war all the time, but, uh, I

01:32:58.080 don't want to go into Ukraine.

01:33:00.980 Uh, but I'm telling you the result is going to be, they're going to take Ukraine. 1.00

01:33:06.020 They'll end up, they'll just start moving forward because once you let Ukraine go, once 1.00

01:33:11.380 you let Ukraine go, China will take Taiwan because we're sending the signal. 0.84

01:33:18.400 United States is done.

01:33:20.080 And, and now you see one of the other tragedies of Afghanistan, we told them we'd be there 1.00

01:33:24.920 for them.

01:33:25.320 We'd protect the people that we said that we were going to protect.

01:33:27.880 And instead said, no, no, I'm not saying, and no, I don't want war.

01:33:31.880 I don't want us troops to go into Ukraine.

01:33:33.820 We've gone, we've gone over and over on this.

01:33:35.820 I want to stop being everywhere all the time.

01:33:37.980 I want to be where we should be strategically with a very big stick and we're sitting back

01:33:44.900 going, no, don't do that.

01:33:46.320 Right.

01:33:46.500 But there's, there's things diplomatically that we can do to ensure that these things

01:33:50.400 don't come to a head, that the administration is just bungling like Nord Stream 2.

01:33:54.940 Why would you do that?

01:33:56.040 Those are the things that ensure that our men and women don't have to go fight.

01:33:59.320 Correct.

01:33:59.720 Those types of things, but they're not doing them.

01:34:01.420 They're going in the opposite direction. 1.00

01:34:03.200 So it makes you wonder, I mean, are they that stupid? 1.00

01:34:06.620 Probably. 1.00

01:34:07.260 Yes.

01:34:08.260 Yes, yes, yes, yes.

01:34:09.920 But they also are that anti-American.

01:34:12.220 Yeah.

01:34:12.420 And that is the global agenda right now is to mediocre the entire world.

01:34:17.440 We are too powerful.

01:34:18.600 Our own countrymen don't like that.

01:34:20.780 They want us to get, they want us to take a few shots.

01:34:23.120 They want us to step back more and more and more, not in the way that like we want to

01:34:26.520 step back and you never see, but I want to step back without making the world

01:34:31.420 more dangerous.

01:34:32.640 Yeah.

01:34:33.320 You know, and you can do that.

01:34:35.260 You just have to realize it's been a hundred years in the making.

01:34:39.920 It's going to take a few years and really good strategic planning to be able to back out.

01:34:49.120 Yeah.

01:34:49.200 And we need to be backing out, but not giving the world over to Russia and China. 0.91

01:34:55.160 Right.

01:34:56.340 I'd love to put these things in the context of the adversary and to see, because I think

01:35:00.040 a lot of people and a lot of people are asking me on Twitter, what is the goal here?

01:35:02.740 Why is Russia doing this?

01:35:04.680 And you, I mean, I've done a lot of research on Ukraine through the years for you.

01:35:08.300 We did this, I think, in 2014 or something like that, talking about when Crimea was invaded.

01:35:12.360 Right.

01:35:12.480 And this is the national, this is the soul.

01:35:15.540 This is the spiritual soul of Russia.

01:35:18.200 There would probably be no Russian nation without Ukraine. 0.80

01:35:22.380 Yeah.

01:35:22.620 That's how serious it is for them.

01:35:24.700 And I think most Russians don't want a prolonged fight, but there is a very large nationalist

01:35:29.320 that, you know, nationalized, you know, population in Russia that they see that that's how they

01:35:34.040 feel.

01:35:34.620 And Putin knows this.

01:35:35.780 And they always do this throughout the centuries.

01:35:37.400 They, you know, every leader knows how to turn up the dial on nationalism, whether it's

01:35:40.320 the Orthodox church, whether it's like Ukraine, Belarus, they know what to do.

01:35:44.020 The thing that's scary now is Putin's hitting up all of them right now.

01:35:46.720 Is he hitting up the Orthodox church?

01:35:48.540 Hitting up the Orthodox church. 1.00

01:35:49.540 That's really dangerous.

01:35:50.460 Belarus, which they believe is Russia and Ukraine, which they believe is Russia.

01:35:54.580 So they're turning those dials.

01:35:56.480 Look, so what's going to happen?

01:35:57.780 I think that's the big question right now.

01:35:59.260 What happens if they invade?

01:36:00.440 I see a couple of different outcomes.

01:36:02.180 Now, we could see exactly the same things we saw in Crimea.

01:36:05.320 Basically, Russia was already there. 0.85

01:36:07.240 So all they did was send in their little, you know, little green men. 0.97

01:36:09.900 Yep.

01:36:10.140 There was not much, not much shots fired and they just took it.

01:36:13.640 Right now, Russia already is involved in a hot war in Eastern Ukraine.

01:36:18.520 It's not reported anywhere, which is a tragedy.

01:36:21.020 Ukrainians are dying probably daily.

01:36:23.620 Nobody reports on it.

01:36:24.620 And it's been going on since 2014.

01:36:26.280 It's one of the sadder things in the world right now.

01:36:29.000 It's one of the reasons why the guy from Gazprom was, I mean, when we when we looked at,

01:36:35.120 you know, where not Gazprom, the one that Hunter Biden was with.

01:36:40.140 Oh, Burisma.

01:36:41.420 Yeah, Burisma.

01:36:42.380 One of the things that guy was doing was building an army for on the Russian front, if you will, in Ukraine.

01:36:51.020 He was using some of that money that that we gave to Burisma.

01:36:55.860 Uh, it just suddenly disappeared.

01:36:58.500 And we had evidence that some of that money was going to fight that war.

01:37:04.680 It's been going on and on and on and on.

01:37:07.180 And we just can't I guess we just can't decide which side we're on.

01:37:10.640 Yeah.

01:37:11.160 A billionaire governor.

01:37:12.460 That was absolutely insane.

01:37:14.200 And, you know, I mean, we were working with them.

01:37:16.560 The people that are in the administration right now, Biden, the point man for Ukraine.

01:37:20.480 They know Russia.

01:37:21.380 I mean, Putin is very vindictive guy, right?

01:37:23.040 He wants revenge.

01:37:24.140 He knows that those people in power were the ones that facilitated the taking of Ukraine from him.

01:37:28.840 Yeah.

01:37:29.100 So now is the time if you want to do something.

01:37:31.720 So what do you think that Biden is going to do?

01:37:35.700 He's kind of backed himself into a corner on this.

01:37:37.900 I mean, it really was.

01:37:38.620 He had some leeway with the pipeline.

01:37:40.440 Doesn't have that anymore.

01:37:41.900 So he has a call with Putin tomorrow.

01:37:44.440 They're supposed to call and discuss Ukraine.

01:37:46.420 This is tomorrow.

01:37:46.940 This is Tuesday.

01:37:47.480 So everyone needs to watch what that's going to be like.

01:37:50.100 That's not what we're doing.

01:37:53.160 It's so embarrassing.

01:37:54.460 I mean, if you hear him talk about any of this stuff, you just feel like, as much as we don't like him for his policies,

01:38:00.400 it's terrifying as a nation to have a guy at the wheel who's literally asleep.

01:38:05.180 I mean, he's falling asleep in these meetings, at least.

01:38:07.580 And there's some reporting on that.

01:38:08.520 And to be on the phone with Putin.

01:38:12.200 Putin is, I mean, he was playing three-dimensional chess.

01:38:15.500 He plays that kind of chess, you know, in his sleep.

01:38:18.780 Against someone who's sharp.

01:38:20.240 He's difficult to defeat. 0.98

01:38:22.020 Here's a situation where you have someone who is as dull as dullards can be. 1.00

01:38:26.440 But you know what? 0.94

01:38:27.660 I would rather have Biden dealing with him than Kamala. 0.97

01:38:32.260 Can you imagine Kamala Harris on the phone with Putin?

01:38:37.660 This is just...

01:38:38.200 Oh my God.

01:38:38.820 This is terrible option versus terrible option.

01:38:40.740 Would she just cackle and dance? 1.00

01:38:42.400 Or something like that when she got...

01:38:43.540 I mean, she was like, I don't know how to...

01:38:44.860 But to answer your question, I think that he's going to be forced and do big concessions on that call tomorrow.

01:38:55.840 That's what...

01:38:56.300 And what are the concessions?

01:38:57.560 I know that they don't want any kind of NATO involvement in Ukraine whatsoever.

01:39:00.920 That's a big red line for him.

01:39:02.320 He's going to have to back down.

01:39:03.760 Or hopefully he can convince the rest of NATO to back down.

01:39:06.260 Well, if he backs down, if NATO decides to back down, does he still go in and take Ukraine?

01:39:13.940 Yes, I believe he will.

01:39:14.960 Oh my gosh.

01:39:15.580 I mean, they basically already control it.

01:39:17.560 But the final step will just be...

01:39:19.880 And I think the best case scenario is he just moves his troops into eastern Ukraine, formally annexes, and waits for his next move further into Ukraine.

01:39:28.420 Yeah, all he has to do is really go and sow the seeds of chaos in Ukraine. 0.51

01:39:34.040 I mean, that is the playbook of the former Soviet Union.

01:39:38.120 And then he can just go in with his tanks and saying, I'm just repatriating, and I'm just trying to keep the peace in Ukraine because it's so out of control.

01:39:47.560 Right.

01:39:48.020 Yeah, and I say best case scenario.

01:39:49.900 That's only best case, not for Ukraine, but best case for the immediate no bloodshed scenario that that happens.

01:39:56.060 And it's a Crimea part two.

01:39:58.920 So then let me take you to the next phase.

01:40:03.460 That happens first.

01:40:05.220 Now let's go to China and Iran, and we'll do that in 60 seconds.

01:41:26.300 Get up.

01:41:31.700 Get up.

01:41:34.780 So let's say he goes in and he just annexes Ukraine and we do nothing and NATO does nothing.

01:41:45.220 What does that tell China?

01:41:47.640 It tells them exactly what they learned from Afghanistan.

01:41:51.320 That a U.S. guarantee means nothing.

01:41:53.300 It means nothing.

01:41:53.980 Threats mean nothing.

01:41:54.920 And the Taiwan thing is a whole lot larger, I think, for the...

01:42:00.320 Taiwan is a knockout punch for the Western world because they are the number one maker of chips.

01:42:07.060 China is number two.

01:42:08.800 If China takes Taiwan, they dwarf everybody and you don't have chips for, you know, 80% of what we need chips for.

01:42:19.180 Taiwan and Ukraine are very interesting because they're kind of similar in the fact that those are American interests that will draw the United States into a larger war.

01:42:26.900 I'll explain as quickly as I can.

01:42:28.740 But the last time someone went after the middle part of Central Europe, Ukraine, those other countries, the United States has gone to war to fight to make sure they don't control that area.

01:42:38.540 It's one of the largest resource areas in the world that can challenge the United States if one...

01:42:43.940 That's what brought us into World War I, World War II, and the Cold War because of that.

01:42:48.220 So that's a prelude to something larger.

01:42:50.060 And Taiwan is the same thing. 0.81

01:42:52.320 Whoever can...

01:42:53.000 If China controls Taiwan, they're going to move on and try to take over the Pacific. 0.87

01:42:56.960 You and I have talked about this for years, that the ground is being laid for World War III, the next global conflict.

01:43:08.860 And we're seeing it right now.

01:43:10.920 It is Ukraine and Taiwan. 0.95

01:43:13.500 It's those two that are going to play, or I should say, Russia and China.

01:43:19.420 That is the Axis power. 0.99

01:43:21.960 Yeah.

01:43:22.240 And I think they think the time to do it is right now.

01:43:27.140 And quite honestly, I think they're right.

01:43:30.040 Do you have faith in the leadership of the Pentagon?

01:43:34.060 No.

01:43:35.000 No.

01:43:35.740 I mean, I would not put my son in the military now.

01:43:39.340 No way.

01:43:40.240 No way do I want my son in the military if that's the leadership. 1.00

01:43:46.400 You'll get him killed. 1.00

01:43:47.820 Get him killed. 1.00

01:43:49.420 So I have no faith in the administration. 1.00

01:43:52.200 I have no faith in the Pentagon.

01:43:53.820 And I think Russia and China know that.

01:43:57.840 Because we are absolutely a paper tiger right now.

01:44:02.420 Yeah.

01:44:04.180 So, Iran, one last thing.

01:44:07.860 They're now saying they want a better deal than what Obama gave them.

01:44:11.720 And remember, Obama just flew a whole bunch of money and landed it and put it on a pallet there at the airport for him.

01:44:18.620 And gave them a deal that was time gated so they can still pursue a bomb if they wanted to. 0.57

01:44:23.020 While at the same time, do whatever they want with rocket technology.

01:44:26.740 Do whatever they want with funding all these different militias to overthrow countries like Hezbollah.

01:44:32.000 Yeah.

01:44:32.580 They want a better deal than that.

01:44:34.000 That's insane.

01:44:34.760 If I was the president, I would just step away from the negotiating table and then reinsert.

01:44:39.660 But what is he going to do?

01:44:41.220 You know that's what they want.

01:44:43.360 Right after he became, right after the election, he reassigned a large Iran table with diplomats to start pursuing the deal again.

01:44:52.600 But with friends and presidents like this, who needs enemies?

01:44:59.720 Back in just a second.

01:45:01.200 Thanks, Jason.

01:45:01.820 Thanks.

01:45:02.260 You know, I love it when they put these billboard commercials near the end of the program because it reminds me what is waiting in my dressing room that I'm going to address immediately after the program.

01:45:20.820 Sure, I could go to the gym and work out.

01:45:23.980 Sure.

01:45:24.520 Any health nut would agree.

01:45:25.800 That would be a good use of my time.

01:45:28.280 But there's a reason they're called health nuts.

01:45:31.080 Right.

01:45:31.960 Instead of going to the gym, I'm going to go eat a Bilt Bar, maybe two, because they taste like a candy bar.

01:45:39.380 I'm told they're actually healthy for me.

01:45:41.380 Maybe not in the volume that I eat them in, but they are made with 100% real chocolate.

01:45:47.840 They taste like a candy bar.

01:45:49.920 They really do.

01:45:51.200 They're high in protein and fiber, low in fat and carbs.

01:45:55.440 I've tasted other protein bars and other health bars.

01:45:58.860 They're awful.

01:46:00.180 They taste like Dow Chemical with a bunch of sand with it.

01:46:04.260 This is a Bilt Bar.

01:46:05.980 Bilt Bar is a candy bar that's good for you.

01:46:32.080 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:46:39.900 You know, we premiered the song Sad Little Man on this program by Five Times August, a listener of ours.

01:46:48.020 It's really good.

01:46:48.960 If you haven't heard it yet, you can find it on you can find it on YouTube or, you know, Apple music.

01:46:55.440 Sad Little Man by Five Times August.

01:46:58.760 Fauci didn't like it.

01:47:00.240 And now YouTube has hidden it.

01:47:02.560 You have to actually know exactly where to find it.

01:47:06.440 And they've hidden it.

01:47:08.020 And Five Times August just tweeted, if Fauci was ever to hear my song Sad Little Man and criticize it, I would just respond back with, you're not really criticizing the song.

01:47:18.700 You're criticizing all music because I represent all music.

01:47:22.820 That's a good point.

01:47:25.140 It is.

01:47:25.580 It is.

01:47:25.880 That's a good point.

01:47:26.300 It is.

01:47:26.680 It's good.

01:47:27.760 So let me ask you this.

01:47:29.020 Yeah.

01:47:30.760 You said earlier on the show that you have not been.

01:47:34.260 Don't hold me responsible for what I said maybe 20 minutes ago.

01:47:37.060 Well, I mean, you said all sorts of things on the show, like the wrong address to sell your own merch.

01:47:40.980 It's glennbeckmerch.com.

01:47:43.380 I think that's right now.

01:47:44.440 Yes, it is set up.

01:47:45.840 Glennbeckmerch.com.

01:47:46.640 The code is GLENN20.

01:47:47.860 That makes sense.

01:47:48.900 That's much better.

01:47:49.680 But beyond that, more important items here, you said you were more optimistic than you've been in the last 15 years.

01:47:57.600 Yes.

01:47:58.580 Now, there's a couple of things associated with that I want to ask you about.

01:48:02.540 I think I know what the first one is, is, oh, no.

01:48:05.600 Yeah.

01:48:06.000 Because whenever you have optimism, it means we're in for the darkest days of the Republic.

01:48:10.420 So we know something terrible is about to happen whenever you're optimistic.

01:48:14.620 So that's one.

01:48:15.280 That hasn't happened, though, since 2008.

01:48:18.100 And before that, it was 2001.

01:48:21.060 So.

01:48:22.140 Yeah.

01:48:23.360 It's true.

01:48:24.300 Just all the major events of the past 20 years or so.

01:48:26.960 All right.

01:48:27.340 But you said you were more optimistic.

01:48:28.680 Is it because of things like this where people are stepping up and saying, yeah, no?

01:48:34.680 Yeah.

01:48:35.680 Yeah.

01:48:35.960 So here's what I've been thinking.

01:48:38.480 And I started feeling this way last week.

01:48:40.820 And I want to share it with you because I think it's a good thing.

01:48:46.160 For the last 20 years, I've done this job.

01:48:49.160 And then with the exception of the tea party, nothing really happened.

01:48:53.680 And then the tea party kind of fizzled out.

01:48:55.680 You know what I mean?

01:48:56.720 I didn't see action.

01:48:58.320 And I didn't know what to expect or what kind of action would work at this point.

01:49:05.040 I kind of came to the conclusion my job isn't to lead you to happy places.

01:49:12.680 My job is just to be a warning.

01:49:14.520 I'm like a Claxton.

01:49:15.900 You know.

01:49:17.860 That it was like, oh, God, turn him off, man.

01:49:20.540 So my job is to warn.

01:49:24.200 And it has really been difficult to warn and then see so few people actually take action or look at it and go, yep, that sounds like it's going to happen.

01:49:37.000 And then it happens.

01:49:38.480 And they're like, see, you were right.

01:49:41.060 Yeah.

01:49:42.000 Yeah.

01:49:42.500 And I didn't know what to do except warn.

01:49:45.620 I will tell you, I am seeing real movement in people and not just our audience.

01:49:54.520 Evil has exposed itself so clearly.

01:49:58.660 And the Democrats have exposed themselves on what their real agenda is so clearly that a lot of people.

01:50:08.880 And it's coupled with, you know, like in 2008, I was talking about things that were coming.

01:50:15.620 And then it would take a few years before it came.

01:50:18.760 Now it's kind of like, hey, this great reset thing.

01:50:22.200 It looks bad next day.

01:50:24.700 Great reset.

01:50:26.200 Here it is.

01:50:27.040 Yeah.

01:50:27.400 You know, it's all stacking on top.

01:50:28.880 It's all stacking on top of each other.

01:50:30.360 And it's happening faster and faster.

01:50:32.560 And so people are seeing it right away.

01:50:36.700 And they're standing up and you're seeing them standing up in the arts.

01:50:40.440 You're seeing them standing up.

01:50:42.220 Parents are standing up in very uncomfortable ways.

01:50:44.940 People at work are actually saying, go ahead, fire me, or I'm going to go take another job.

01:50:50.840 They're not folding.

01:50:52.440 They're not folding.

01:50:53.840 And that's really a good sign because it's not going to get easier from here.

01:51:00.160 You know, I've been saying for a while, you've got to stand up now because it's going to get harder and harder to stand up.

01:51:07.920 They're going to make it more difficult and more painful for you to stand up.

01:51:12.420 So you've got to stand up now.

01:51:15.400 And, you know, that's the next thing that I'm really looking for is will people take their money out of these big banks?

01:51:26.160 Because just this audience would send a massive message if just this audience said, I'm no longer doing business with you, Citibank or JPMorgan Chase or Wells Fargo.

01:51:42.120 And I'm pulling my deposits out and I'm canceling my credit cards and I'm moving it over to this local bank.

01:51:49.320 And the reason why I'm leaving you is because you're part of this ESG nonsense.

01:51:54.040 I also think that BlackRock, which seemed invincible to me just a few months ago, I think they're going to be exposed at such a level that I think they're going to collapse.

01:52:08.600 I think they're going to be.

01:52:09.580 I think there's trouble, real trouble with this great reset, build back better.

01:52:16.160 I think it's it's going to be exposed in the next year in such a way that people will stand up.

01:52:24.520 I'm hoping as often as the case, your optimism is collapse, which is always something.

01:52:30.380 No, no, they're collapsing.

01:52:31.380 Yes, they're collapsing on their own arrogance.

01:52:33.680 Right. I mean, obviously, I there are so many policies and bad outcomes associated with these places that it's it's great to find another alternative.

01:52:42.660 And you've pointed out a lot of times that it's, you know, maybe in your local bank, right?

01:52:46.520 Something that's just some some sane, some it's just it's easy to find a local bank that is sane.

01:52:52.860 Yeah, that is sane. That is that they are they do not want ESG to go through because they know that they will not have the money to comply to the new regulations and all of the reporting.

01:53:08.000 So ESG part of that is the central banks and the big banks trying to collapse the small banks.

01:53:15.240 So all of the money has to go through them.

01:53:18.500 The other part of this, I think, is interesting is how the administration currently is going after some someone like Coinbase, which is, you know, a cryptocurrency exchange.

01:53:30.760 And that Coinbase wants to basically say, hey, you can go into these stable coins, which are just like a cryptocurrency version.

01:53:38.220 That's that is equal to a dollar and it always remains equal to a dollar.

01:53:43.140 So there's not like the typical Bitcoin is way down over the past couple of days.

01:53:46.260 You don't have to deal with that. Right. It's just just using cryptocurrency in that way.

01:53:51.020 The rates, the interest rates on these accounts, and this is all over the place already, you know, eight, 10 percent, six, seven, eight, 10 percent on your money without risk.

01:54:02.660 Right. I mean, of course, there's always risk in anything, but without any large risk.

01:54:08.220 From a major institution that has all sorts of capital behind it and they want to give people the opportunity to clearly outcompete what banks are offering.

01:54:18.740 Correct. And the administration is stopping them and they're saying, no, we're going to sue you if you go through with just offering your own customers interest on the money that they invest with you.

01:54:31.160 We're stopping you from doing that.

01:54:32.780 And so now the only place you can get that stuff is from there's other companies that are just going for it and risking the situation, which is always a little bit more.

01:54:41.660 You want someone who's going to be able to disrupt without breaking any rules or getting in trouble.

01:54:47.460 Correct. So you want that.

01:54:49.160 And Coinbase is trying to do it and they've been honest with the government in every dealing.

01:54:53.380 And they still are trying to screw them because I think they're they're on to what you're on to, which is people are going to pull their money out.

01:54:59.560 I think they already are. Look, here's what happened to Bitcoin this weekend.

01:55:03.080 They're pulling their money out of Bitcoin this weekend because the market took such a nosedive last week.

01:55:09.220 Yeah. There are people that are buying things on the mark in the market on margin and they're putting all their money in Bitcoin.

01:55:17.040 So when their margin calls come, they've got to take their money out of Bitcoin and put it into the market for their losses.

01:55:25.840 Right. And that's what happened. And you buy in the dip on that.

01:55:31.460 But there is something else going on with Bitcoin, both good and bad on cryptocurrency.

01:55:36.500 And next year, one of the topics that you're going to learn about, as we learn with you, is the metaverse.

01:55:44.360 The metaverse is real. It is. It is the matrix without the pod.

01:55:50.960 It's the matrix with you just putting yourself in the pod, if you will.

01:55:55.680 But make no mistake, it is the matrix and they want everybody to live in the matrix.

01:56:01.660 Because why go to work? Why go someplace when you can do it virtually and you don't have to worry about.

01:56:09.580 You know, building things on new land, you don't have to cut down a tree, you don't have to have any carbon emissions getting there.

01:56:18.520 I mean, it's crazy stuff, but that is coming.

01:56:22.900 And because of that, a Bitcoin kind of thing has got to be part of it.

01:56:30.340 This is on the bad side. This is why you are seeing the vaccine passports. 1.00

01:56:36.020 The vaccine passports are not about the vaccine.

01:56:39.320 It is about getting you used to having a digital ID because you need a digital ID for the metaverse.

01:56:47.960 So it's going to just seamlessly go in.

01:56:52.340 The other thing that concerns me about Bitcoin is Jack left from Twitter and he left with, you know, he's like, hey, have fun.

01:57:01.060 Here's Stalin. 0.75

01:57:04.580 That was his official statement.

01:57:06.500 That was a little odd.

01:57:08.120 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:57:08.980 I thought I was Stalin and Stalin.

01:57:11.940 Enjoy.

01:57:12.200 Anyway, so so he left, but he left because he wanted to get into cryptocurrency.

01:57:19.040 And he's been a big crypto guy for a long time, to be fair.

01:57:22.100 He's been there.

01:57:22.820 No, I know that.

01:57:23.520 I know that.

01:57:24.100 But he's been an investor and he's been talking about crypto and a believer in cryptocurrency.

01:57:29.080 But now he wants to do something with cryptocurrency, which makes me very nervous when you get.

01:57:36.080 And when there is something that is good, for instance, we were all told, get out of media, go online.

01:57:44.380 You belong online.

01:57:45.540 When when it was a joke to do a podcast.

01:57:49.200 Right.

01:57:49.700 Yeah.

01:57:50.040 Nobody did a podcast and they kicked us out of mainstream media.

01:57:54.400 So we developed our own empire.

01:57:55.960 Then when we became effective and they realized, oh, crap, they're now way ahead of us in programming on the Internet.

01:58:05.660 Gee, what are they trying to do?

01:58:08.280 They're trying to hobble us and they're in charge of all of it.

01:58:13.600 So I warn or I'm worried about people like Jack coming in and getting involved now deeply with the metaverse and Bitcoin and things like that.

01:58:28.060 Are they going to come in and entangle that with a bunch of government stuff knowingly to be able to control things like Bitcoin?

01:58:39.140 I don't think you can control Bitcoin, but things like Bitcoin.

01:58:42.880 So it's under their control as well, because you have to control the money.

01:58:47.580 If you can get if you have people that can spend their money how they want, when they want, where they want.

01:58:54.180 You don't have you don't have control over people.

01:58:57.900 You've got to control that.

01:59:00.340 It's true.

01:59:00.980 It's why crypto is such a threat and why they're trying to do so much to hurt it.

01:59:05.300 But yeah, there's two ways to fight something.

01:59:07.480 Right.

01:59:07.720 You could fight it by trying to shut it down.

01:59:09.140 You could fight it by getting involved and changing the way it develops.

01:59:12.840 And certainly he'd be at he'd be one of the head seats or something like that.

01:59:16.960 All right.

01:59:17.580 Back in just a minute.

01:59:18.600 Let me tell you about gold line gold.

01:59:22.860 There is something going on with gold and that you I'll probably talk about a little bit tomorrow.

01:59:30.480 But there is something going on with gold.

01:59:32.600 I think.

01:59:33.420 I think.

01:59:36.980 More countries are I think the price of gold is going to go through the roof at some point.

01:59:42.720 I think what's happening right now, Ireland, I think, over the summer started buying gold, but they didn't say anything about it.

01:59:48.340 I think it's Singapore started buying lots of gold and they didn't announce it.

01:59:55.260 They didn't want anybody to know about it.

01:59:56.920 What people are doing is they're selling their dollars and they're starting to put it into gold outside of the China Russia connection.

02:00:06.140 Now it's starting to happen in Asia and in the West.

02:00:09.020 That's a bad sign for the dollar, but something has to rebalance things and I'll go into it probably on tomorrow's program.

02:00:20.360 But do not be fooled by the lack of movement with gold or the gold price going down.

02:00:30.880 Big moves are being made by sovereign funds.

02:00:34.800 Something's up.

02:00:36.040 Anyway, gold or silver.

02:00:37.940 Excellent hedge against inflation or worse, hyperinflation.

02:00:43.100 And I want you to call Goldline to find out how you can protect your portfolio.

02:00:47.700 If you have a 401k or an IRA, you can actually put 10% into gold and you should protect it in many ways as you possibly can.

02:01:08.060 These are the coins I own for many reasons.

02:01:28.540 All righty.

02:01:33.380 Hey, did you hear that Bob Dole died this weekend?

02:01:36.180 I did.

02:01:37.160 Sad.

02:01:37.720 I mean, you forget.

02:01:43.180 People remember him running for president and losing.

02:01:46.380 But he really was an incredible hero in the war.

02:01:49.980 I mean, I don't mean any disrespect, but my first, when I saw that, I was like, he was

02:01:55.560 still alive?

02:01:57.900 Yeah, 98.

02:01:58.560 98.

02:01:59.640 But, you know, he would go and he would sit at the World War II Memorial, which probably

02:02:04.240 wouldn't happen if he wasn't, if he didn't push it through.

02:02:09.760 He used to sit at the World War II Memorial and just welcome vets.

02:02:42.260 When Germany, this is a quote from his obituary.
