The Glenn Beck Program - Want Energy Blackouts？ Vote Democrat ｜ Guests： Sheriff Mike Smith & Kelly Shackelford ｜ 6⧸15⧸22

00:00:00.000 I'm Jay Mullin, and I'm the host of the Energy Manager's Playbook, a new podcast from Save on Energy.

00:00:06.020 This show is about real stories, real challenges, and real solutions from energy professionals.

00:00:12.140 I personally think that many engineers were not given enough training in communications and the softer skills of getting a project done.

00:00:19.720 We have no control over cost of materials, but we do have control of how we use our energy and how we can save.

00:00:25.900 Listen to the Energy Manager's Playbook wherever you get your podcasts.

00:00:30.000 You know, down in Texas, it's like 100 degrees.

00:00:34.560 Up here in the mountains, in the Mountain West, it was frost everywhere.

00:00:41.580 I don't know how to work the heat in this studio, so it's about 30 degrees in here.

00:00:47.060 But we're having possible blackouts coming our way in Texas and around the country.

00:00:55.580 So, they just say, turn your heat up to 78.

00:01:03.560 If you didn't do 78, that would be good.

00:01:07.160 And, you know, a little higher if, you know, if you can.

00:01:11.040 Oh.

00:01:11.380 Okay, I like that.

00:01:14.260 Sure.

00:01:16.200 Let me tell you about Rough Greens, our sponsor this half hour.

00:01:47.580 We've got no room to compromise.

00:02:13.560 We've got to stand together.

00:02:15.840 It's the chorus of life.

00:02:17.580 Stand up straight and hold the line.

00:02:24.960 It's a new day and time to rise.

00:02:31.400 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:37.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:41.140 Stand up.

00:02:45.040 Well, hello, America.

00:02:46.880 Climate change.

00:02:48.260 Climate change.

00:02:49.180 Huh?

00:02:49.840 Am I right?

00:02:51.900 It's in triple digits in Texas, which almost never happens except for every summer.

00:02:59.260 Up here in the mountains, where I am in the Mountain West, it is this morning.

00:03:08.640 I had frost on the windows, which almost never happens.

00:03:13.220 Of course, last year at this time, we did have snow.

00:03:16.360 Then it's raining in some places.

00:03:18.780 And in the desert of Nevada, it's not raining.

00:03:22.500 You see what I'm saying?

00:03:24.420 It's out of control.

00:03:26.740 Completely out of control.

00:03:28.160 What we need to do is get off all fossil fuels as fast as we can.

00:03:34.160 And learn to love the rolling blackout.

00:03:38.680 Because you know what?

00:03:39.960 It's like living in Space Mountain.

00:03:42.660 Life now is a roller coaster of fun.

00:03:45.940 You never know what's coming next.

00:03:49.140 Well, the program is coming next.

00:03:51.220 And we begin on rolling blackouts and shortages in 60 seconds.

00:03:55.860 All right, let me tell you about Anna.

00:04:01.940 She wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.

00:04:04.260 She says, Relief Factor has given me my life back.

00:04:07.420 I'm glad to hear that, Anna.

00:04:09.080 I had a really, really bad problem with my back.

00:04:13.260 It led to horrible back pain.

00:04:17.000 I really had bad back pain.

00:04:19.180 It was keeping me from doing most things I wanted to do.

00:04:21.560 But ever since I started taking Relief Factor, I've gone back to all of those things.

00:04:25.860 Because the pain is gone.

00:04:27.760 Thank you, Relief Factor.

00:04:29.540 As they say, I'm a believer.

00:04:31.940 Anna, thank you for writing in.

00:04:33.540 I'm so happy to hear about your pain being lessened or gone.

00:04:38.000 It's happened to people all over the country.

00:04:40.820 So many people in this audience, thousands and thousands and thousands of them,

00:04:45.300 have tried Relief Factor and have found relief.

00:04:47.940 The three-week quick start developed just for you is $19.95.

00:04:51.620 It's a dollar a day like a trial pack.

00:04:53.380 And hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor.

00:04:56.520 Seventy percent of them go on to order more month after month.

00:05:00.180 ReliefFactor.com.

00:05:01.400 That's ReliefFactor.com.

00:05:03.720 Or call 800, the number for relief.

00:05:06.820 800 for relief.

00:05:08.320 ReliefFactor.com.

00:05:12.180 So, Stu.

00:05:13.400 How are things in the great state of Texas, you know, where gas and oil are plentiful?

00:05:23.160 Well, not so great, but still better than everywhere else.

00:05:26.420 So, they're now saying that we may have a few problems with the Texas power grid.

00:05:39.280 There is absolutely no excuse for Texas, Texas, to have a problem with the power grid.

00:05:48.020 None.

00:05:49.060 Zero.

00:05:49.940 Zilch.

00:05:50.480 Power demand recently hit a record high in Texas amid a severe heat wave.

00:05:57.280 Stu, would you call this a severe heat wave or would you call this summer?

00:06:02.980 Yeah.

00:06:03.260 I mean, it's – my son is in the middle of a Little League tournament, so I've spent a lot

00:06:07.100 of time outside in the 104 and 105-degree weather.

00:06:11.760 It is hot, though we've certainly seen worse in Texas.

00:06:17.100 Yes, we have.

00:06:18.200 Demand for the power grid reached more than 75,000 megawatts on Sunday, surpassing a previous

00:06:24.700 record of 74,820 megawatts, said in August 2019, according to the Electric Liability Council

00:06:32.920 of Texas, which runs the grid for more than 26 million customers who compromise about 90%

00:06:39.220 of the state's electric load.

00:06:41.640 One megawatt can power roughly 200 homes in Texas during high demand and about 1,000 homes

00:06:48.340 in normal weather conditions.

00:06:50.860 Soaring power usage, prompted by extreme weather, has triggered concerns over vulnerability of

00:06:57.340 the state's grid system following a deadly winter storm in February 2021 that left millions

00:07:04.780 of residents without power for days.

00:07:08.160 Now, Stu, help me out here.

00:07:10.520 2021, that was around the winter of 2021.

00:07:16.640 We're now in the summer of 2022.

00:07:19.640 2022, in your, I mean, I know you're not a power expert, but in your mind, don't you think

00:07:27.840 that's a problem that we could have fixed by now?

00:07:32.960 You'd hope so.

00:07:34.040 Certainly, that's what we were told was happening, is they were going to try to address these

00:07:37.960 things so that they wouldn't happen again.

00:07:40.080 I mean, part of the problem with the power, I mean, when I moved down here to Texas, when

00:07:46.480 we started looking at houses down here, this is back in 2011, there was a period of over

00:07:51.300 100 consecutive days, or 40 consecutive days over 100 degrees or something like that.

00:07:57.900 I remember it being absolutely ridiculous for a really long period of time.

00:08:01.120 So the heat is not really the issue.

00:08:02.740 One of the issues is the fact that all these people from all these other states are moving

00:08:09.180 here, which, you know, generally speaking, I welcome as people come and experience, I think,

00:08:13.980 a positive experience overall, but it is, you know, it's increasing the demand on the power

00:08:21.320 grid all the time.

00:08:22.740 And that's not a surprise to Texas.

00:08:25.340 This has been happening for a really long time, and they need to be prepared for it,

00:08:29.760 certainly.

00:08:32.520 So let me ask you a question.

00:08:34.080 Listen, if you believe in all this climate warming bullcrap, okay, and you believe that

00:08:42.240 the, you know, the world's going to die in a fiery flood, and then we'll all be frozen

00:08:47.200 to death because it's climate change.

00:08:49.000 It's not cooling or warming.

00:08:51.700 But you know that you're absolutely positively convinced that fossil fuels have to be destroyed,

00:09:01.700 and the world's beaches are going to be gone in the next couple of years, okay?

00:09:08.540 And the time to change is right now, and everybody's got to do their part.

00:09:14.300 Do you, A, buy a beach house on an island?

00:09:20.580 That's the first question.

00:09:21.440 Okay, that's A.

00:09:23.100 Do you?

00:09:24.320 No.

00:09:24.680 Yeah, that's A.

00:09:25.280 I thought there was going to be an option here, but I will say no.

00:09:27.620 No, if I believed that, I certainly would not do something like spend millions of dollars

00:09:33.640 to buy a beach house.

00:09:36.520 Okay, you wouldn't do that.

00:09:37.840 No.

00:09:38.300 Okay.

00:09:39.300 If you believed that, you know, at some point you're rich enough,

00:09:46.700 and these greedy capitalists just don't need all these houses, all these places,

00:09:54.740 and certainly all that square feet, would you buy a third house in Martha's Vineyard,

00:10:04.020 a giant mansion, on the beach, on the island?

00:10:09.080 Certainly not.

00:10:09.920 That would be incredibly hypocritical if you were to do such a thing.

00:10:14.000 Right.

00:10:14.380 Well, not just hypocritical, stupid, wouldn't it?

00:10:17.660 Right.

00:10:17.800 I mean, you think that, you know, people are, and you're going to die.

00:10:22.220 Your whole family's going to die.

00:10:23.540 The whole house is going to be wiped out.

00:10:25.580 And it's all because he couldn't get a, well, I'm using just an example.

00:10:30.880 I'm not talking about anybody specifically.

00:10:32.640 But let's just say you were the president in 2008, and you were talking about a cap-and-trade system

00:10:40.720 because you had to get rid of coal and gas and all of these fossil fuels, right?

00:10:47.300 And you knew that if you did that, your prices for electricity would necessarily skyrocket, right?

00:10:57.360 So would you then just say, hey, this is a consequence of what we're doing and we have to do it

00:11:08.480 because my house is going to be under, my extraordinarily large, ostentatious house on Martha's Vineyard

00:11:15.060 will soon be underwater.

00:11:17.040 So we've got to get off all of this electricity and everything generated by fossil fuels.

00:11:23.860 Correct?

00:11:24.440 Sure.

00:11:24.740 You'd be right there, right?

00:11:26.660 So if you were right there, would you put in, would you request a 2,500-gallon commercial propane tank

00:11:35.640 and have it buried in the sand like you're some sort of weird pirate?

00:11:43.800 But it's such a big propane tank that the city council says,

00:11:49.320 would you be a little ashamed to maybe go to the city council and ask for that?

00:12:07.240 In this completely hypothetical example that you're citing,

00:12:11.220 I think that person would come off as incredibly hypocritical and it almost would seem as if they didn't believe a word they said

00:12:20.900 and they had other motivations for hyping climate change for those years.

00:12:26.820 Right?

00:12:27.140 And when you thought of the people who this winter are going to be shivering

00:12:32.820 because they can't afford natural gas or coal or whatever,

00:12:38.140 they can't afford anything, any electricity to heat or any oil or any gas to heat their home.

00:12:45.340 And you're sitting there in Nantucket having a lovely time on Christmas,

00:12:51.140 which, by the way, is a holiday that is about individual salvation.

00:12:57.640 And you've been, you know, you've been talking about collective salvation,

00:13:02.660 which is not, has nothing to do with Christ,

00:13:05.380 but you're sitting there by the Christmas tree celebrating Christ and his birth,

00:13:11.940 which brought us individual forgiveness and salvation.

00:13:17.900 Do you think maybe you would feel a little less warm inside,

00:13:22.800 even though you'd be toasty warm because you have the propane tank?

00:13:26.620 Hmm. Yeah. I mean, it seems like if you believed in collective salvation,

00:13:30.620 these are the last types that you wouldn't want to do these things.

00:13:33.100 You'd want to make sure you gave away all your wealth and,

00:13:35.460 and went down those different roads,

00:13:38.200 which doesn't seem like this hypothetical person is interested in.

00:13:44.300 Yeah. Yeah.

00:13:45.960 You certainly wouldn't do it right now when everybody is struggling,

00:13:48.820 but Hey, Hey, I'm just making this up.

00:13:51.900 I don't know of anybody in Martha's vineyard that has a big mansion that's right on the beach,

00:13:59.680 who believes in global warming and believes we're running out of time,

00:14:03.840 wanted to get a cap and trade system.

00:14:06.440 So your energy prices would necessarily skyrocket.

00:14:10.340 And then thinks that climate change is so important that we stop all natural gas,

00:14:16.120 all coal,

00:14:17.780 all fossil fuels and is bearing the largest tank anyone in Martha's vineyard has ever seen.

00:14:23.860 But I don't know anybody specifically who might be doing that.

00:14:27.980 Oh, and, and also it was former president,

00:14:30.800 but that's just a hypothetical situation.

00:14:33.560 The other thing too,

00:14:35.480 about the propane is like Martha's vineyard is not exactly filled with people who,

00:14:42.200 uh, they're not all like Barack Obama, right?

00:14:45.260 They're not all public figures.

00:14:46.800 They're all wealthy for the most part,

00:14:48.840 but they're all,

00:14:49.540 they're not all public figures.

00:14:50.640 They're not all even liberal.

00:14:52.700 Many of them would have no qualms at all about building,

00:14:56.420 you know,

00:14:56.740 burying the largest propane tank they could possibly think they could ever need.

00:15:01.020 And the fact that Martha's vineyard has never seen one,

00:15:04.420 the size of this is quite the statement.

00:15:09.000 Pretty remarkable.

00:15:10.220 They do pretty much whatever they want.

00:15:11.940 Now, if I was buying,

00:15:12.940 yeah,

00:15:14.840 if,

00:15:15.300 if I was buying a propane tank,

00:15:17.500 let's say I was buying 10 propane,

00:15:19.380 propane tanks,

00:15:20.680 and it's the largest that anyone has ever seen in the area.

00:15:24.540 And I was burying them all over my,

00:15:26.900 uh,

00:15:27.160 my farm.

00:15:28.020 In fact,

00:15:28.660 I didn't have any dirt left.

00:15:30.560 It was pretty much planting wheat on top of propane tanks.

00:15:35.120 I wouldn't be a hypocrite.

00:15:36.920 And,

00:15:37.560 uh,

00:15:38.120 I'd feel good.

00:15:38.940 I'd go to bed at night thinking,

00:15:40.840 okay,

00:15:41.260 my family and really probably my neighbors.

00:15:45.080 After we,

00:15:46.300 after we make our tractors run on natural gas,

00:15:50.500 that's probably a good thing.

00:15:52.460 Probably a good thing.

00:15:53.380 But see,

00:15:53.900 then I don't have the whole history of saying,

00:15:56.960 Oh my gosh,

00:15:58.560 it's got to stop.

00:16:00.280 It's going to kill everybody.

00:16:02.040 Cause I don't think it's going to kill everybody.

00:16:04.420 At least nearly as fast as no air conditioning or no heat.

00:16:09.320 By the way,

00:16:10.200 if you're in California or any place that is experiencing heat,

00:16:14.360 I want to remind you,

00:16:16.460 I know it came as a complete surprise that there would be heat in the summer,

00:16:21.360 but they're now asking you to keep your temperature at 78,

00:16:26.960 a comfortable 78.

00:16:28.380 So if you are Joe Biden,

00:16:31.120 you're set,

00:16:32.760 you're set because you like it about your age.

00:16:35.460 You know what I mean?

00:16:36.380 Uh,

00:16:36.860 I go up to my,

00:16:37.880 uh,

00:16:38.180 my wife's parents house and it is 80 degrees,

00:16:41.980 you know,

00:16:43.560 on a cool day,

00:16:45.180 it's 80 degrees in their house.

00:16:47.460 So everybody who's old, 1.00

00:16:49.960 they're going to love it.

00:16:52.220 Everyone else is going to be like,

00:16:54.260 what the hell is it?

00:16:55.520 Why are we,

00:16:55.980 why are we suddenly living in India?

00:16:58.380 I don't know.

00:17:00.240 I can't hear you.

00:17:01.060 I I'm sorry.

00:17:01.780 I didn't hear the question.

00:17:02.680 The baby's crying in the other room.

00:17:03.900 Cause I can't find baby formula back in just a second.

00:17:07.640 60 seconds.

00:17:08.600 We return,

00:17:09.120 but let me tell you about,

00:17:14.960 uh,

00:17:15.600 my pillow.

00:17:17.360 You know,

00:17:18.200 I don't know if you know this,

00:17:19.480 but I,

00:17:19.940 I sit for a living.

00:17:21.620 Uh,

00:17:22.140 but even I like to be comfortable on the occasions when I have to get up and

00:17:25.860 walk across the room.

00:17:27.460 I mean,

00:17:28.800 that's why my chair has wheels.

00:17:30.280 Hello.

00:17:30.780 But sometimes I do actually have to walk.

00:17:33.300 That's why I have the most comfortable slippers on the planet.

00:17:37.420 My slippers.

00:17:38.280 Mike Lindell took two years to develop my slippers and they're made with three

00:17:42.040 tier cushioning system,

00:17:43.400 two layers of my pillow foam and a layer of impact gel that will ensure your

00:17:47.580 feet will be comfortable and avoid fatigue.

00:17:49.880 The slippers are made to be worn all day long,

00:17:52.600 both indoors and outdoors.

00:17:53.980 And they're made from really high quality leather suede.

00:18:53.520 As of yesterday,

00:18:54.600 the AAA national average price for a gallon of regular,

00:18:59.420 regular gasoline is now $5,

00:19:03.060 $5 and one cent per gallon for regular.

00:19:08.560 Now the climate czar,

00:19:11.500 John Kerry,

00:19:13.400 he is,

00:19:14.440 uh,

00:19:15.180 he has seen no reason that we should be doing additional drilling,

00:19:18.920 you know,

00:19:19.860 or quote,

00:19:20.520 go back to coal.

00:19:22.080 When did we leave coal,

00:19:24.080 Stu?

00:19:24.220 Can you tell me that?

00:19:25.300 What we're now going back to coal?

00:19:28.720 Uh,

00:19:29.280 and Joe Biden told us he hasn't done anything.

00:19:32.800 So I'm,

00:19:33.940 there might be a little confusion here.

00:19:37.660 Uh,

00:19:38.140 and probably on Biden's part,

00:19:40.360 cause he's senile,

00:19:41.660 but,

00:19:42.000 uh,

00:19:43.460 when did we get off coal,

00:19:45.160 Stu?

00:19:45.600 Well,

00:19:46.000 we're certainly not off of coal.

00:19:48.100 It has been decreasing,

00:19:49.180 uh,

00:19:49.820 pretty significantly since,

00:19:51.600 uh,

00:19:52.000 around the mid two thousands.

00:19:53.660 Uh,

00:19:54.380 it has gone down quite a bit as a percentage of all U S energy.

00:19:58.860 Um,

00:19:59.340 and it has felt fallen behind,

00:20:01.120 you know,

00:20:02.260 many of the,

00:20:03.480 uh,

00:20:04.180 certainly natural gas and petroleum.

00:20:06.160 But we,

00:20:06.720 we replaced it.

00:20:09.300 Right.

00:20:10.160 I mean,

00:20:10.420 cause it would be insane for a country to say like,

00:20:13.100 um,

00:20:14.160 Hey,

00:20:15.060 um,

00:20:15.780 these grocery stores are great and we love them.

00:20:19.560 Um,

00:20:19.840 and the trucks that bring them in,

00:20:21.720 you know,

00:20:21.860 bring all the food 12 times a day to these grocery stores.

00:20:24.880 We have the greatest system,

00:20:26.460 the grid is system in the world.

00:20:29.120 Um,

00:20:29.720 it would be insane to say,

00:20:31.440 but I'd like to reimagine the grocery store system.

00:20:35.220 So I'm going to build other grocery centers.

00:20:39.180 Not quite sure if it's going to work.

00:20:42.340 A lot of people say it's way early to do that,

00:20:45.760 but I'm going to close down all of our grocery stores and accelerate this process of reimagining how groceries are sold in America.

00:20:56.700 That would be insane.

00:20:58.860 So we have more than enough to replace it with.

00:21:02.980 Right.

00:21:03.680 Well,

00:21:04.060 Glenn,

00:21:04.580 the good thing is,

00:21:05.380 you know,

00:21:05.680 there were years in the past where 80% of our energy,

00:21:10.400 uh,

00:21:11.140 came from fossil fuels.

00:21:12.560 And obviously we've invested a ton in renewables over,

00:21:16.840 over the years.

00:21:17.800 And now we're at the point where we've made real progress.

00:21:20.260 And now 80% of our energy comes from fossil fuels.

00:21:25.980 Um,

00:21:26.500 which,

00:21:27.420 wow,

00:21:28.120 we've made a real impact.

00:21:29.640 Yeah.

00:21:29.780 I mean,

00:21:30.000 it's,

00:21:30.180 yeah,

00:21:30.520 it's still,

00:21:31.220 I mean,

00:21:31.480 it's 80% still,

00:21:32.500 but that's not,

00:21:33.640 I,

00:21:33.920 you know,

00:21:34.080 now it's a different kind of fossil fuel.

00:21:36.480 And,

00:21:36.820 and that actually has made the difference when it comes to emissions.

00:21:39.800 And we've got,

00:21:40.300 we've gone from coal to natural gas.

00:21:41.680 That's basically the change.

00:21:42.740 We've had some increase in renewables,

00:21:44.900 almost no increase at all.

00:21:46.140 And we got to get rid of a real difference.

00:21:48.300 Natural gas.

00:21:49.860 Yeah.

00:21:50.300 We got to get rid of natural gas.

00:21:52.020 I mean,

00:21:52.340 except for the pipeline to going to Obama's,

00:21:54.720 um,

00:21:55.300 beach house,

00:21:55.760 but if we can just get rid of Obama's ranch,

00:21:58.520 I think,

00:21:59.100 I mean,

00:21:59.480 a natural gas,

00:22:00.500 I think we will be absolutely,

00:22:02.480 uh,

00:22:02.880 we'll be absolutely fine.

00:22:04.640 Hey,

00:22:04.780 by the way,

00:22:05.360 another good idea,

00:22:06.540 the governor of,

00:22:08.200 um,

00:22:08.720 of Washington state,

00:22:10.080 along with,

00:22:11.480 uh,

00:22:11.800 many of the people here in Idaho are thinking about getting rid of the dams,

00:22:17.260 you know,

00:22:18.060 the hydroelectric dams seems to be the new target thinking about getting rid of

00:22:22.160 them.

00:22:23.180 Yeah.

00:22:23.940 Um,

00:22:24.460 and,

00:22:24.960 uh,

00:22:25.340 you'll be happy to know,

00:22:26.600 uh,

00:22:27.960 your power,

00:22:28.900 your electricity is,

00:22:30.920 you know,

00:22:31.460 whatever,

00:22:32.120 get over it.

00:22:32.820 You fat head.

00:22:33.860 You've had enough days of ease.

00:22:36.680 Okay.

00:22:37.400 We're talking about salmon.

00:22:40.040 Can salmon really prosper?

00:22:42.320 If we have all these dams,

00:22:44.080 the answer,

00:22:44.720 we all know.

00:22:45.420 I don't even need a study.

00:22:47.020 Nope.

00:22:47.740 Uh,

00:22:47.920 uh,

00:22:48.180 they can't.

00:22:48.540 And our salmon salmon are people too.

00:22:52.000 So if we didn't just get rid of those hydroelectric,

00:22:55.860 uh,

00:22:56.620 dams on the snake river,

00:22:58.500 it's like,

00:22:59.560 I don't know,

00:23:00.180 four or five who's counting,

00:23:02.140 but just tear them all down.

00:23:04.440 Uh,

00:23:05.240 Washington,

00:23:06.100 Idaho,

00:23:06.880 Oregon.

00:23:07.680 We are going to be swimming with the salmon and,

00:23:11.720 uh,

00:23:11.980 we can have never ending salmon.

00:23:14.360 We can't catch it.

00:23:16.000 We can't catch it,

00:23:17.100 but we'll have never ending salmon.

00:23:21.440 The Glenn back program.

00:23:25.220 Just fabulous.

00:23:26.760 Fabulous.

00:24:43.580 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:24:58.760 I want to talk to you about an experience I had last night,

00:25:02.480 um,

00:25:03.520 uh,

00:25:05.180 here in just a couple of towns down from,

00:25:07.900 uh,

00:25:08.320 my ranch.

00:25:09.100 I,

00:25:09.580 I,

00:25:10.200 um,

00:25:10.940 gave a speech,

00:25:11.960 uh,

00:25:13.320 on flag day.

00:25:14.520 It,

00:25:15.140 it,

00:25:15.160 it,

00:25:15.340 it was amazing.

00:25:16.740 Every year,

00:25:17.740 this town has a flag day ceremony and people come to it.

00:25:22.700 There were about a thousand people,

00:25:24.060 maybe about 800 people there,

00:25:25.520 uh,

00:25:26.140 yesterday.

00:25:27.600 And they did this really moving ceremony.

00:25:30.020 And,

00:25:30.500 uh,

00:25:30.900 then I walk out and I talked to him.

00:25:32.560 The first thing I said was you have to know how unique you are.

00:25:35.920 I'm not sure how many towns across America are having a flag day free.

00:25:42.620 Hey,

00:25:42.820 everybody come to the high school for the,

00:25:46.180 I mean,

00:25:46.440 it felt like it was in the music man for a while.

00:25:49.620 Uh,

00:25:49.980 it was amazing,

00:25:50.880 but I,

00:25:52.180 in talking to people,

00:25:53.640 uh,

00:25:54.280 before the event,

00:25:55.380 I,

00:25:56.260 I really got the sense that people are changing and are very concerned

00:26:02.140 because,

00:26:02.740 uh,

00:26:03.300 well,

00:26:03.520 let me just talk to the politicians.

00:26:05.260 Look more and more.

00:26:07.940 It seems like there,

00:26:09.440 there are two kinds of politicians and there aren't there's,

00:26:12.420 there's a big fat middle,

00:26:13.840 but they're not doing much.

00:26:16.040 And it seems like your choice is the burn it down,

00:26:19.840 uh,

00:26:21.200 group or the what fire group.

00:26:26.320 If the what fire group is afraid of the burn it down group,

00:26:31.680 you haven't seen anything yet because the left is wanting to burn it down.

00:26:37.380 They just do it wrapped in,

00:26:39.820 you know,

00:26:40.420 in crazy words that make you go,

00:26:43.140 Oh no,

00:26:44.080 no,

00:26:44.420 seriously.

00:26:44.800 They just said they loved America.

00:26:47.100 The burn it down.

00:26:48.180 People,

00:26:48.720 uh,

00:26:49.260 love America many times,

00:26:50.740 love America too,

00:26:51.820 but they think burn it down.

00:26:53.080 And that's the worst idea ever.

00:26:55.220 But unless you stop saying what fire and you actually see what's going on,

00:27:02.040 the burn it down.

00:27:03.060 People are going to win.

00:27:05.800 Uh,

00:27:06.320 because it's happening now in our small towns,

00:27:08.880 it is happening in red state America.

00:27:11.140 Yesterday,

00:27:11.540 uh,

00:27:12.680 I told you,

00:27:13.700 uh,

00:27:14.360 about a,

00:27:15.100 uh,

00:27:15.420 a county that is as red as they come.

00:27:19.140 And yet there is a prosecuting attorney that is changing things,

00:27:24.220 not only in his County,

00:27:25.640 but also changing.

00:27:27.060 Really?

00:27:27.580 I mean,

00:27:28.300 I talked to the sheriff up here and he was concerned,

00:27:31.020 you know,

00:27:31.980 I don't know how many counties away about this other sheriff,

00:27:35.440 uh,

00:27:36.600 you know,

00:27:36.880 like two hours away.

00:27:38.160 He said,

00:27:38.800 this guy is influential and he is changing the way law enforcement is

00:27:43.820 happening.

00:27:46.060 The sheriff,

00:27:47.200 uh,

00:27:47.580 for Utah County,

00:27:49.100 uh,

00:27:49.440 one of the most conservative counties in the country.

00:27:53.320 Mike Smith is with us now.

00:27:55.360 Hello,

00:27:55.600 Mike.

00:27:55.900 How are you?

00:27:57.260 Good morning.

00:27:57.840 How are you doing?

00:28:00.760 Well,

00:28:01.340 I'm,

00:28:01.640 I'm good.

00:28:02.340 I mean,

00:28:02.600 I'm,

00:28:03.020 I'm a little concerned because I think this,

00:28:05.380 I'm using your County as an example of what's happening all across the

00:28:10.380 country where you don't need Soros coming in and,

00:28:14.500 uh,

00:28:14.880 buying everything up.

00:28:16.800 Some Republicans are doing it themselves.

00:28:19.920 Tell me why Utah County of all places is beginning to look a lot like San

00:28:25.460 Francisco.

00:28:27.480 Yeah.

00:28:28.120 And I'm,

00:28:28.940 that concerns me as well.

00:28:30.140 That's a,

00:28:30.640 uh,

00:28:31.160 that's a really scary statement and sad statement for,

00:28:34.000 uh,

00:28:34.280 Utah County.

00:28:34.980 Cause that's not us.

00:28:36.880 And recently we've had a prosecutor take office who,

00:28:41.240 uh,

00:28:41.540 who brings these ideals in that,

00:28:43.500 that I agree with you.

00:28:44.560 They are Soros based ideas.

00:28:46.500 They're failed pro they're failed programs that,

00:28:50.740 uh,

00:28:50.940 we've seen over and over again in large democratic cities that,

00:28:55.340 uh,

00:28:55.840 we've,

00:28:56.620 you know,

00:28:56.920 they use them.

00:28:57.660 Crime rates go up.

00:28:59.060 And some,

00:28:59.800 for some reason,

00:29:00.560 our prosecutor believes that if he brings them here to Utah County,

00:29:03.840 he's going to have a different result and he just isn't.

00:29:08.360 What is the feeling of the community right now as they see this going on?

00:29:13.040 You know,

00:29:13.660 I can tell you,

00:29:14.600 uh,

00:29:15.560 with law enforcement,

00:29:16.580 it's demoralizing,

00:29:17.880 you know,

00:29:18.380 our officers are out,

00:29:19.720 they're working hard for their community.

00:29:21.700 They are there for their citizens.

00:29:24.500 They,

00:29:25.100 uh,

00:29:25.340 they love,

00:29:25.960 they love their communities.

00:29:27.180 They want to serve them.

00:29:28.340 They want to help them.

00:29:29.700 Um,

00:29:30.220 they,

00:29:30.620 they work tirelessly to,

00:29:32.680 to,

00:29:33.420 uh,

00:29:33.840 bring crime and to,

00:29:36.500 uh,

00:29:37.280 investigate these things.

00:29:38.480 And then they fall on the lap of the prosecutor and nothing happens.

00:29:41.920 And it's demoralizing.

00:29:43.360 And we see victims that are re victimized through these programs,

00:29:47.080 you know,

00:29:48.000 and as you look at,

00:29:49.480 you know,

00:29:51.140 Utah County and you look at the Republican party,

00:29:53.620 and we are very largely Republicans.

00:29:55.860 You know,

00:29:56.500 you look at the Republican platform and the platform itself says swift and

00:30:00.160 certain punishments with just an appropriate penalties are essential

00:30:03.740 deterrence to crime and victim rights are always superior,

00:30:07.520 superior to criminals rights.

00:30:09.440 And we have a Utah County attorney who doesn't follow that platform yet.

00:30:14.040 He,

00:30:14.340 he runs on it.

00:30:15.560 He,

00:30:15.940 he,

00:30:16.460 he is not a Republican.

00:30:20.460 We've seen over the past 20 years from the nineties or the 30 years,

00:30:25.480 I guess,

00:30:25.860 nineties to the early,

00:30:27.220 you know,

00:30:27.740 pre COVID,

00:30:28.740 uh,

00:30:29.200 2020s,

00:30:29.920 a real drop in violent crime.

00:30:33.220 But since at least the last couple of years,

00:30:36.180 we've seen that totally reverse and it has gone up.

00:30:38.480 What,

00:30:38.740 what is the cause about it and what can we do to stop it?

00:30:42.940 You know,

00:30:43.640 there's a,

00:30:45.280 there's a ton of things out there that you can say is the cause about it,

00:30:48.260 but,

00:30:49.040 uh,

00:30:49.560 to stop it,

00:30:50.220 I think everybody needs to be engaged.

00:30:52.160 You know,

00:30:52.460 as we look at law enforcement,

00:30:53.680 you see this movement across the nation and it really is a Soros movement,

00:30:58.780 you know,

00:30:59.200 that this all cops are bad.

00:31:01.000 And we're seeing it here in Utah County.

00:31:02.500 We're seeing a county attorney who keeps,

00:31:04.880 you know,

00:31:05.540 pointing a finger at law enforcement saying they're the problem,

00:31:08.400 demoralized law enforcement.

00:31:10.280 You know,

00:31:10.480 there's,

00:31:10.980 there's a reason why they're doing that.

00:31:13.240 Um,

00:31:13.560 so for me,

00:31:15.100 I look at the,

00:31:16.060 at the situation,

00:31:16.840 you look at our community and you've got really a small number of law

00:31:21.040 enforcement compared to,

00:31:22.900 you know,

00:31:23.460 the citizens that they're trying to serve.

00:31:25.240 And so for me,

00:31:26.240 the answer is we're all on the same team here.

00:31:28.860 Let's work together.

00:31:30.140 Um,

00:31:30.580 as citizens law enforcement,

00:31:32.780 we,

00:31:33.320 we are begging for you to be part of our team to help combat crime.

00:31:39.140 Sheriff,

00:31:39.620 I,

00:31:39.920 I really get the,

00:31:41.140 um,

00:31:41.580 uh,

00:31:41.920 the impression that,

00:31:43.060 um,

00:31:44.120 the people are on your side and on the side of the cops,

00:31:49.000 uh,

00:31:49.780 but these activists and you don't need,

00:31:51.900 um,

00:31:53.140 uh,

00:31:53.400 George Soros.

00:31:54.220 When you've got somebody like David Levitt,

00:31:56.680 uh,

00:31:57.040 you've got real problems because he's,

00:31:59.780 he's got a family name.

00:32:00.900 He's one of these guys,

00:32:01.840 like in Texas,

00:32:02.460 we have the bushes.

00:32:03.520 He's one of these guys with the name.

00:32:05.960 And so everybody's like,

00:32:07.160 Oh,

00:32:07.320 I know that family,

00:32:08.460 or I know those names.

00:32:10.060 Uh,

00:32:10.440 and they're not paying attention to what he's doing.

00:32:12.980 And he's got a good,

00:32:14.400 uh,

00:32:15.260 shell game going on as his press conferences.

00:32:17.880 He says,

00:32:18.460 Oh no,

00:32:18.820 we,

00:32:19.340 you know,

00:32:19.620 we got rid of the special victims, 0.99

00:32:21.140 uh,

00:32:21.600 unit,

00:32:21.960 uh,

00:32:22.700 which is,

00:32:23.220 you know,

00:32:23.660 on sex crimes and abuse and everything else,

00:32:26.920 the really nasty stuff.

00:32:28.940 Uh,

00:32:29.420 we got rid of that because we found an easier way to do it.

00:32:33.340 You,

00:32:33.700 you,

00:32:34.140 you see that what I've heard,

00:32:36.840 you have never had cartel members in your County and you have them now.

00:32:42.880 And people aren't afraid because they're watching what he's doing in the office.

00:32:48.040 Is all that true?

00:32:50.880 It is,

00:32:51.840 you know,

00:32:52.340 we,

00:32:52.520 we look at the SVU unit and,

00:32:54.580 and he did dismantle it.

00:32:55.980 He,

00:32:56.360 you know,

00:32:56.880 we,

00:32:57.380 so the part of it that I guess is a little,

00:32:59.880 uh,

00:33:00.800 untrue is,

00:33:01.700 as a,

00:33:02.620 as law enforcement,

00:33:03.580 we still have an SVU unit,

00:33:05.480 you know,

00:33:05.740 we're pressing forward.

00:33:06.840 We push out to our,

00:33:08.420 our employees,

00:33:09.280 our officers,

00:33:10.140 you do your job,

00:33:11.920 do your job,

00:33:12.700 regardless of what David Levitt chooses to do.

00:33:15.420 You do your job and he can answer to the people for his inaction.

00:33:19.160 So we push forward.

00:33:20.820 He's pulled his prosecutors out of it.

00:33:23.080 You know,

00:33:23.540 it was,

00:33:24.460 it's a model that's,

00:33:25.480 that's used across the nation.

00:33:27.220 It,

00:33:27.480 it,

00:33:27.780 it is a model that works.

00:33:29.340 And he,

00:33:30.240 he pulled these prosecutors out.

00:33:32.740 It used to be when you had a sex crime,

00:33:34.640 they would,

00:33:35.080 from the minute this crime was reported and a prosecutor was involved all the way

00:33:40.500 through the process so that when these came to court,

00:33:43.360 we didn't have a prosecutor who is opening up a folder and looking in the

00:33:47.900 case for the first time,

00:33:49.200 you know,

00:33:49.560 five minutes before it goes to court.

00:33:52.280 And that's what we have.

00:33:53.320 Now we have untrained prosecutors that he's put in these positions that,

00:33:57.500 uh,

00:33:58.220 have a stack of,

00:33:59.520 of cases that they're looking at five minutes before,

00:34:02.320 court and they're not involved in the case.

00:34:04.540 And so you get what you pay for in that scenario.

00:34:07.580 As far as cartels.

00:34:10.420 Oh,

00:34:10.920 go ahead.

00:34:11.300 Go ahead.

00:34:11.660 No,

00:34:11.820 go ahead.

00:34:12.820 As far as cartels go,

00:34:14.160 you know,

00:34:14.360 we have had tough on crime,

00:34:16.540 um,

00:34:17.380 with our,

00:34:18.060 our major crimes task force.

00:34:19.820 We work hard in these cartels,

00:34:21.660 you know,

00:34:22.020 I,

00:34:22.440 some people may get in their mind.

00:34:24.020 Oh,

00:34:24.540 you know,

00:34:24.820 it's,

00:34:25.140 it's drug users.

00:34:26.580 It's,

00:34:27.040 you have to realize that cartels operate like fortune 500 companies.

00:34:32.320 And if they're looking at their liabilities,

00:34:35.320 their risks,

00:34:35.980 all these things.

00:34:37.000 Okay.

00:34:37.200 I'm looking at an area where,

00:34:38.700 you know what?

00:34:39.240 The risks are low.

00:34:41.060 So business is better here.

00:34:43.100 And so we move business here.

00:34:44.700 We've always been able to,

00:34:46.140 to be really tough on them.

00:34:47.860 And we still are on the law enforcement side,

00:34:49.800 but they're just not getting,

00:34:51.180 uh,

00:34:52.660 prosecuted properly.

00:34:53.920 And so the risks are low and,

00:34:55.860 and they,

00:34:56.520 they flow to where business is good and risks are low.

00:34:59.140 And that's what's happening.

00:35:01.640 I have heard,

00:35:02.940 and I don't know if this is true,

00:35:04.280 that on arrests,

00:35:05.580 some officers are being told that they kind of almost laugh and go like,

00:35:10.420 that's fine.

00:35:11.040 I'll be out soon.

00:35:12.300 I mean,

00:35:12.480 it's starting to sound like New York.

00:35:15.580 Yeah,

00:35:16.060 that that's happening.

00:35:17.120 And even worse than that we're having,

00:35:19.700 um,

00:35:20.200 you know,

00:35:20.560 especially when you talk drugs or other things,

00:35:22.760 our officers are arresting people.

00:35:25.180 They're resisting arrest.

00:35:26.820 They're assaulting our officers.

00:35:28.480 And then the County attorney won't prosecute on those crimes.

00:35:32.660 So if you assault a police officer,

00:35:34.540 there's no consequences.

00:35:36.580 And when we ask this,

00:35:39.040 we ask,

00:35:39.680 and this is a response we get.

00:35:41.280 Well,

00:35:41.600 it will confuse the jury and our jaws.

00:35:44.740 We're just,

00:35:45.060 our jaws are,

00:35:45.840 are dropped and we're going,

00:35:46.980 what?

00:35:47.120 Are you talking about somebody selling crimes in our community?

00:35:50.760 An officer tries to arrest them.

00:35:52.460 They don't want to be arrested.

00:35:53.540 So they fight the officer.

00:35:55.500 How is that confusing to tell a jury?

00:36:01.160 I don't know,

00:36:02.160 but I have to tell you,

00:36:03.320 this is,

00:36:04.160 uh,

00:36:04.440 you know,

00:36:04.680 I've,

00:36:05.000 I've made light of,

00:36:06.580 of this,

00:36:07.200 or I brought this to light,

00:36:08.760 uh,

00:36:09.300 to the national audience,

00:36:10.500 because I think this is happening in our communities and people are not aware of

00:36:16.020 it.

00:36:16.200 And you,

00:36:17.400 you don't need George Soros when you have these,

00:36:20.420 um,

00:36:21.680 these Republicans who,

00:36:24.360 I,

00:36:25.160 I don't know what his deal is.

00:36:27.580 I just know he is not the Republican that he makes everybody believe he is.

00:36:33.580 I mean,

00:36:33.740 they're,

00:36:34.360 the whole family has always been squishy.

00:36:36.700 Um,

00:36:37.300 but this,

00:36:38.500 there's something really wrong here.

00:36:40.580 He is,

00:36:41.500 um,

00:36:42.260 taking felonies and pleading them down to misdemeanors.

00:36:45.580 This is going to create a New York city or a San Francisco or Los Angeles kind of crime wave.

00:36:53.300 If it's allowed to continue.

00:36:56.100 Am I wrong?

00:36:57.840 No,

00:36:58.200 you're not wrong.

00:36:59.020 And it's,

00:36:59.620 it's,

00:37:00.040 you know,

00:37:00.380 when you,

00:37:00.780 when you talk about taking felonies and bringing them down to misdemeanors,

00:37:04.240 you know,

00:37:04.460 he'll put out this narrative that he's,

00:37:06.280 he's prosecuting the worst.

00:37:07.960 He doesn't do plea deals.

00:37:09.120 Well,

00:37:09.560 he absolutely does.

00:37:10.760 He,

00:37:11.240 he is smoking mirrors.

00:37:12.960 He's doing plea deals before they ever hit the court.

00:37:16.180 He's,

00:37:16.680 he had one of his friend,

00:37:18.220 uh,

00:37:18.720 legislators run a bill.

00:37:20.460 It was,

00:37:21.260 uh,

00:37:21.580 HB 300 a couple of years ago,

00:37:23.440 gave the prosecutor the ability to drop these felonies down.

00:37:27.420 He does it continually.

00:37:29.580 Uh,

00:37:30.120 and so there he,

00:37:31.600 he's dealing them away before they ever get to court.

00:37:34.300 You know,

00:37:34.500 he says he doesn't like plea deals.

00:37:35.900 Is it true?

00:37:36.260 And one more,

00:37:39.500 I'm sorry to interrupt,

00:37:40.400 but one more quick question here.

00:37:41.560 Cause I've only got about a 60 seconds.

00:37:43.800 Um,

00:37:44.380 is it true?

00:37:45.400 I saw a case where a grandfather was molesting his granddaughter felony,

00:37:51.720 and he decided to drop it down to a misdemeanor because he was concerned what that would do to the grandfather.

00:38:00.460 Is that true?

00:38:01.960 Is that,

00:38:02.420 did I read that case?

00:38:03.460 Right?

00:38:04.640 No,

00:38:04.940 you read it right.

00:38:05.640 Unfortunately,

00:38:06.240 that is true.

00:38:07.440 And it's sad.

00:38:08.360 Oh my gosh.

00:38:09.720 You know,

00:38:10.100 I'll tell you what,

00:38:12.180 what do you say about a prosecutor who in a press release makes a statement that the criminal justice system is the greatest threat to American freedom that we've seen in a generation.

00:38:22.620 What do you say about that?

00:38:26.560 He said that he said that.

00:38:29.200 And I don't know.

00:38:33.660 I mean,

00:38:34.240 yes,

00:38:35.740 our criminal justice system isn't perfect,

00:38:38.020 but you know,

00:38:39.660 I'd put it up against any system in the world.

00:38:41.980 This is America.

00:38:42.880 And I can't believe he would say he would say something like that.

00:38:49.380 We're talking to Sheriff Mike Smith.

00:38:51.380 Thank you very much,

00:38:53.020 Sheriff.

00:38:53.260 I appreciate your honesty on this.

00:38:55.240 I will tell you,

00:38:56.560 look,

00:38:57.080 you have to decide who to vote for,

00:38:58.880 but I'm telling every city in America,

00:39:01.120 you better look at what's going on in your town because it's coming disguised as a Republican.

00:39:08.680 And these states are starting to fall one by one because you're not paying attention to what's going on in your own.

00:39:16.040 And,

00:39:16.400 you know,

00:39:16.980 we like to believe that,

00:39:18.380 oh,

00:39:18.560 well,

00:39:18.700 we can trust them.

00:39:20.480 You have to get the word out.

00:39:22.760 People,

00:39:23.380 people are,

00:39:25.460 are not necessarily who you think they are.

00:39:29.740 Uh,

00:39:30.500 and this prosecutor is,

00:39:32.440 uh,

00:39:33.380 extraordinary,

00:39:34.520 in my opinion,

00:39:35.480 extraordinarily dangerous.

00:39:37.120 His name is David Levitt.

00:39:39.220 Uh,

00:39:39.780 and,

00:39:40.420 uh,

00:39:40.660 the whole Levitt thing is,

00:39:42.360 I mean,

00:39:42.700 all of these,

00:39:43.500 all of these institutional families,

00:39:46.960 enough is enough.

00:39:48.060 Enough is enough.

00:39:48.920 Back in just a second.

00:39:52.900 Let me tell you about our,

00:39:54.300 uh,

00:39:54.740 our sponsor this half hour.

00:39:56.820 If I can get back to my,

00:39:58.360 uh,

00:39:58.680 back,

00:39:59.100 back to my page here,

00:40:00.020 our sponsor is American financing.

00:40:02.540 If you think that banks are hard to deal with now,

00:41:13.100 We have the Supreme Court rulings coming up a little later on in the program.

00:41:19.960 In fact, they should be happening in just a few minutes.

00:41:24.180 We're not sure.

00:41:25.280 I mean, I think John Roberts is putting the court in danger by not releasing the Roe versus Wade verdict.

00:41:36.140 What are they going to do on that?

00:41:37.780 Release that.

00:41:38.400 You're putting everybody in danger.

00:41:41.120 But many of the people in Congress didn't seem to care.

00:41:45.780 All Democrats that voted against the bill to send protection to our Supreme Court justices,

00:41:52.760 all that voted against that were Democrats.

00:41:56.740 What a surprise.

00:41:57.840 Let me tell you about good ranchers.

00:41:59.340 Getting hot outside.

00:42:00.480 Not up here in the mountains.

00:42:02.000 My cattle were in the frost last night.

00:42:05.000 But it is getting hotter here at the ranch because I'm about to fire up one of the grill and call the cows home.

00:42:11.080 Come on, pork chop. 0.98

00:43:40.120 Stand up straight and hold the line.

00:43:45.100 It's a new day.

00:43:47.240 I'm trying to rise.

00:43:49.040 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:57.120 This is the Glenn Back program.

00:44:01.460 Stand up.

00:44:04.380 Hey, some really good news.

00:44:07.840 The U.S. is quietly telling companies here in the U.S.

00:44:13.540 is that you can go ahead and buy that fertilizer you need from Russia.

00:44:20.060 But just keep it on a QT.

00:44:22.160 OK, so really good news and even more good news coming out of Russia on Ukraine.

00:44:27.560 When did we start losing?

00:44:30.540 When did Ukraine start?

00:44:32.220 When did that happen?

00:44:33.580 Now there's a shortage of bullets.

00:44:35.560 You couldn't buy enough bullets with sixty five billion dollars.

00:44:41.420 Really?

00:44:43.120 What's happening to the money?

00:44:45.600 But don't worry.

00:44:46.420 Miami is on the beat now.

00:44:48.120 Miami, the city of Miami, is a is giving a voluntary gun buyback program where you can

00:44:56.440 turn in your high powered assault rifle, which is about fifteen hundred dollars, and they'll

00:45:01.980 give you two hundred and fifty dollars for it, and they're not going to melt them down.

00:45:07.960 They're sending them, yes, right to Ukraine. 0.79

00:45:12.540 So isn't that fantastic?

00:45:16.100 That makes as much sense as Richard Spencer, the head of the Nazis, saying he's not a white 0.90

00:45:24.620 supremacist anymore.

00:45:26.780 At least that's what he's saying on the dating app.

00:45:30.920 The world makes no sense.

00:45:33.100 We go there in sixty seconds.

00:45:41.820 Well, Anna wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.

00:45:44.360 She said, Relief Factor has given me my life back.

00:45:47.620 I had really, really bad back pain, keeping me up from doing most of the things that I

00:45:51.780 wanted to do, including sleep.

00:45:53.780 But ever since I started taking Relief Factor, I've gone back to all of the things that I've

00:45:58.340 I've wanted to do, and used to be able to do, and the pain is gone.

00:46:04.360 Thank you, Relief Factor.

00:46:06.860 Anna, I'm so glad that it worked for you.

00:46:09.340 It has worked for me.

00:46:10.460 I still take it three times a day, and it makes all the difference in the world.

00:46:14.420 Relief Factor is not a drug.

00:46:16.260 It's not going to make you drowsy or anything else.

00:46:18.180 It was developed by doctors and has four key ingredients that work with your body to

00:46:23.120 fight inflammation, which causes most of our pain.

00:46:26.460 The three-week quick start developed just for you is $19.95.

00:46:30.000 It's a dollar a day like a trial pack.

00:46:32.180 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on

00:46:37.220 to order more.

00:46:38.020 It's relieffactor.com.

00:46:39.880 That's relieffactor.com.

00:46:41.600 Or call 800, the number four, Relief.

00:46:45.100 Feel the difference.

00:46:46.240 So the Supreme Court is coming out with more decisions today, and we have Kelly Shackelford

00:46:55.060 on in an hour to give us the analysis of what is being released.

00:46:59.760 Stu, has anything been released yet?

00:47:01.960 Yes.

00:47:02.200 First one is out.

00:47:03.180 It's the George versus McDonough.

00:47:05.160 Not a big named case.

00:47:06.860 It was a 6-3 decision written by Amy Coney Barrett.

00:47:10.420 It was about veterans' benefits, not a huge one that anyone was on the edge of their seat

00:47:15.800 for, at least in the press.

00:47:18.040 The only real notable thing is Gorsuch and Kagan sort of flip-flopped as to how you might

00:47:23.500 think they would vote in a case like this, where Kagan voted with the, theoretically, the

00:47:28.300 conservative side, and Gorsuch voted with the liberals in this one, with Sotomayor and

00:47:34.360 Breyer.

00:47:35.540 But Gorsuch's been mixing it up quite a bit.

00:47:38.420 He's been interesting in these early decisions, not always paired with the justices you'd assume.

00:47:45.140 But there definitely is at least one more, and the way they release these things, you

00:47:49.240 only know that.

00:47:50.220 Like, when one comes out, you know there's going to be at least one more.

00:47:54.820 But unless they give this sort of finality.

00:47:57.200 There's got to be more than two, I think, because do we only have next week as well?

00:48:03.300 It's usually the end of the month.

00:48:04.260 I think we have about two weeks.

00:48:05.160 But it's, again, none of these are real rules.

00:48:08.980 So much of this is just sort of traditionally what they do.

00:48:11.680 So you're always guessing.

00:48:12.660 But there are 23 now remaining that we don't know, you know, that they have not actually

00:48:19.120 released yet.

00:48:22.020 Pat Gray joins us from Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:48:24.900 I think, Pat, what happened yesterday with the Supreme Court in, you know, the House where

00:48:35.020 you had many Democrats, I think 23 or 24 Democrats come out and vote against security for the Supreme

00:48:43.940 Court's family and for the judges is absolutely despicable.

00:48:48.660 Just despicable.

00:48:49.520 And it's hard to understand why they I mean, you've put them in peril here and you encouraged

00:48:59.400 you've encouraged the left extremists to show up at their house and then you vote against

00:49:07.320 their security.

00:49:08.400 I don't even understand it.

00:49:10.280 I don't know where that comes from.

00:49:12.100 I don't know how you justify that.

00:49:14.460 It's it's it's really it is despicable.

00:49:17.040 Well, I also think it's despicable of John Roberts.

00:49:23.120 I don't know why he's I think he's putting them in danger by not releasing the one everybody's

00:49:30.120 talking about.

00:49:31.140 Let's just rip the Band-Aid off.

00:49:32.860 Let's go.

00:49:33.920 But then again, his motive may be we want everybody out of town as that is read.

00:49:40.880 They usually leave the most controversial to the very end.

00:49:44.560 And if that's true, then the end of the month, we're going to hear about gun control and

00:49:50.680 abortion and prayer in school and all of that stuff.

00:49:55.640 Yeah.

00:49:56.100 And didn't Mike Lee say on your show yesterday that he expects that to be at the end of the

00:50:00.400 end of June or early July even before we hear about the Roe v.

00:50:05.260 Wade situation.

00:50:08.420 It's not what he said yesterday.

00:50:09.640 I think he said end of June.

00:50:10.740 And I think they have to do it by the end of June, I think.

00:50:13.560 I don't think they have to do it by then, but they almost always do.

00:50:17.100 That is basically the way I think it works.

00:50:19.280 They don't have to be done by the end of June, but they they should be done by the end of

00:50:22.900 June.

00:50:23.280 I think they want to be so that the violence can begin in July.

00:50:26.520 Yeah.

00:50:26.740 I think that's what I think that's what we're looking for.

00:50:29.160 Yeah.

00:50:29.320 The the burning and the and the threats and the violence begins in early July.

00:50:36.060 You want it in time for.

00:50:37.880 And I think this is.

00:50:40.300 And I think this is the time that you really kind of want that kind of stuff going on.

00:50:44.880 I mean, you know, you've got a very hot summer coming our way and rolling blackouts, plus

00:50:53.080 the highest gas prices the country has ever seen, food prices are skyrocketing.

00:50:59.000 I don't see any tension at all.

00:51:01.360 I mean, almost not.

00:51:02.900 I mean, when you just when you say to people, hey, turn off your air conditioning or you just

00:51:07.720 turn it off because there's no power.

00:51:10.140 They're going to love that.

00:51:11.860 They're going to love that.

00:51:14.320 We do have another ruling out here, Glenn, everyone on the edge of their seat for the

00:51:20.840 big American Hospital Association versus Becerra case.

00:51:26.180 Yeah.

00:51:26.360 A lot of people were interested about that.

00:51:27.960 A nine zero ruling unanimous written by Kavanaugh.

00:51:32.140 Basically, it had to do with Medicare reimbursement rates.

00:51:35.220 And, you know, can Becerra just say, hey, this is what I want to charge these hospitals 1.00

00:51:40.260 without actually doing any of the research behind, you know, what you know, what makes

00:51:46.660 up their cost basis?

00:51:47.780 Essentially, like, can can he just pull on his own sort of determine what the reimbursement

00:51:54.040 rate is for various hospitals without actually doing any research whatsoever as to how much

00:51:59.780 these services cost the hospital?

00:52:01.620 And they said, no, you need to look into that a little more.

00:52:05.360 Well, why would that be any different than what the administration does on gas, oil?

00:52:10.260 And and, you know, electricity?

00:52:14.820 Well, I mean, they're not it don't they don't seem to be doing their homework.

00:52:18.400 Did you read the story yesterday where the White House officials went to to try to tell

00:52:26.540 the people who take shale and make it into oil?

00:52:29.840 Hey, can you guys do anything?

00:52:31.680 And they're like, no, it's not like we have just.

00:52:38.320 It's not like shale is a sponge and all we have to do is get a bunch of get a bunch of

00:52:43.040 migrant workers to squeeze the sponges and get the oil out. 1.00

00:52:47.500 No, it will take us a few years.

00:52:49.260 And apparently they were shocked.

00:52:50.720 Yeah, that's how little they know about the process that is involved in extracting oil from shale.

00:53:00.280 It's just it's a complicated process that's kind of high tech and it takes a lot of heat

00:53:05.760 and energy and a lot of time and money.

00:53:09.100 And it's not even worth doing unless, of course, it's worth doing at this price at one hundred

00:53:13.240 and twenty dollars per barrel.

00:53:14.740 But yeah, it takes there's a time investment involved and it's more than two months.

00:53:19.900 And yeah, apparently they were quite shocked by that.

00:53:25.120 So I just now normally I don't read Jezebel, but Stu apparently does.

00:53:33.040 No, no, it was reported by several other sources who did link to the source material, which did happen to be Jezebel.

00:53:42.840 So I sent you the source material because I know how how important that is to you.

00:53:47.560 Yes.

00:53:49.060 All right.

00:53:49.820 OK, yeah.

00:53:50.440 So the source is Jezebel, a name we can we have all grown to trust. 0.90

00:53:57.220 So the this is the article.

00:53:59.760 Listen to this.

00:54:00.240 I wasn't expecting to have a borderline introspective conversation with white supremacist leader Richard Spencer.

00:54:07.540 You know, do you think white supremacist goes far enough for Richard Spencer?

00:54:12.680 No.

00:54:13.300 Hmm.

00:54:13.900 Yeah.

00:54:14.140 He's a bunch of things, I would say.

00:54:16.740 And white supremacist.

00:54:17.940 Yeah.

00:54:18.140 Or at least Nazi Nazi. 0.58

00:54:21.280 Yeah.

00:54:21.980 Yeah.

00:54:22.680 But Jezebel.

00:54:24.280 But a Jezebel reader spotted him on the dating app Bumble.

00:54:28.780 In the Dallas, Texas area and sent me a few screenshots of his profile.

00:54:35.220 So I found the guy's number and reached out for a comment.

00:54:38.240 Is this really you?

00:54:39.500 Are you really politically moderate?

00:54:42.700 That's what he's claiming on his profile.

00:54:44.520 Because that's what he said.

00:54:45.520 Yeah.

00:54:45.640 So his profile says, just Richard, 44, 6'1", active.

00:54:54.500 He's a Taurus, graduate degree, socially active, doesn't smoke, I guess looking for a relationship.

00:55:04.460 Um, he's spiritual, he is a political moderate, and he's vaccinated.

00:55:12.200 Uh, his interest, writing, skiing, thriller, philosophy, electronic music.

00:55:19.240 I mean, I think this sounds great, but I think you might be surprised if you dated him that he's left a few important things out.

00:55:31.420 Yeah, it would be kind of a shock if you dated him and asked him about his history and then realized he was the guy getting punched in the face at rallies and advocating for a white nationalism that maybe is not exactly clear in his dating profile.

00:55:52.640 Has he actually changed his mind on things?

00:55:56.080 Yeah.

00:55:56.440 He has?

00:55:57.080 Yeah.

00:55:57.520 Yeah.

00:55:57.820 Well, at least that's what he's claiming.

00:55:59.380 Do you have the text there, right, Glenn?

00:56:00.980 Yeah.

00:56:02.120 I mean, yeah, it's a little different.

00:56:04.340 I mean, remember, he's the guy who said, Jews will not replace us.

00:56:10.380 You know, that's a big one.

00:56:12.260 So they got the phone number and asked him if this was his Bumble profile, and he said, yes, that is I.

00:56:20.640 I appreciate you respecting my private privacy.

00:56:24.760 This is obviously not newsworthy.

00:56:27.720 I'm simply living my life.

00:56:30.740 OK, that would be a fair point if the dater in question were literally not a white supremacist leader accused of physically abusing his ex-wife and masquerading at random as a moderate and a skier who's into electronic music on Bumble.

00:56:46.660 So I said, you think maybe you're being a little deceptive.

00:56:53.020 And he said, well, I'm not a white supremacist leader anymore.

00:56:58.000 Oh, so he didn't say he wasn't a white supremacist.

00:57:00.880 He said he wasn't a white supremacist.

00:57:02.380 Read the whole thing.

00:57:03.560 Don't see.

00:57:04.360 You wanted the source material and you're not reading the full Jezebel text thread.

00:57:09.400 I don't understand what your problem is here.

00:57:11.260 All right.

00:57:12.920 OK.

00:57:13.320 All right.

00:57:14.560 He says the entire right wing movement generally hates me.

00:57:20.460 The feeling is mutual on basic issues.

00:57:23.900 I'm pretty much a liberal gun control abortion.

00:57:27.000 I don't lie or deceive anyone.

00:57:30.100 All qualities that were very, very much in style with Adolf Hitler in his group. 0.91

00:57:36.800 She she said, I didn't realize that.

00:57:38.940 Are you still a white nationalist?

00:57:40.540 The notion of listing my politics as conservative makes me cringe.

00:57:46.000 It's complicated, but I'm not a white nationalist.

00:57:52.280 So maybe he doesn't believe in the country anymore.

00:57:54.520 I don't know.

00:57:57.020 I think you're reading me.

00:57:59.240 I don't know if his racial beliefs have changed per se, but honestly, when he said because I had the same suspicion, Glenn, when he said, look, I'm pretty much a liberal on gun control and abortion.

00:58:10.040 That's always been the case.

00:58:10.920 Always been the case.

00:58:11.780 People love to overlook this, but the all right, which has always been an alternative to the right,

00:58:17.760 not an alternative version of the right, has a is has big government.

00:58:24.540 It is obviously gun control.

00:58:26.320 I mean, of course, you're going to control guns if you're a if you're a Nazi group. 0.66

00:58:31.100 Pro abortion. 0.53

00:58:31.600 Pro abortion have always been pro abortion. 0.60

00:58:33.740 They love the fact that people are choosing abortion, particularly as they as you might expect, black and Hispanic families choosing that so often when it comes to proportional proportional levels that they love that. 0.82

00:58:47.540 And that's a wonderful thing for white supremacists. 0.72

00:58:49.640 They support it constantly.

00:58:50.920 They support all sorts of big government programs, including universal health care, by the way, as well.

00:58:57.020 They want government control, as you might expect from someone who likes these sorts of ideas.

00:59:01.760 And somebody who's a Nazi, a national socialist. 0.73

00:59:04.740 Yeah, that's that is what you would expect.

00:59:07.280 Yeah.

00:59:08.820 Yeah, that that's exactly what Hitler wanted to do. 0.95

00:59:11.960 He wasn't a conservative saying small government, a small government couldn't have built the ovens.

01:00:54.420 Back in 10 seconds.

01:00:56.160 So can you imagine?

01:01:11.640 Go ahead, Stu.

01:01:12.560 Just going to tell you, we have another ruling out.

01:01:14.580 Another one that maybe was not on the top of your news feed.

01:01:18.340 Pueblo versus Texas.

01:01:19.720 A 5-4 decision about basically gaming on Native American lands.

01:01:25.420 Oh, yeah.

01:01:25.880 It's a hot one.

01:01:26.800 Yeah.

01:01:27.720 But I will say, again, bizarre pairings here.

01:01:31.440 This is a 5-4 decision, which is the three liberals plus Gorsuch plus Amy Coney Barrett.

01:01:39.000 Wow.

01:01:40.280 Then the four being, you know, Roberts and the other conservatives.

01:01:44.620 Strange, strange pairings in almost all of these cases, honestly.

01:01:49.720 But they again, the indication is there's at least one more coming.

01:01:53.400 So we are down to 21 cases remaining with the Supreme Court, but at least one more coming here in just minutes.

01:02:01.540 I will tell you, I'm actually I kind of like the fact that they switch it up and you can't predict as long as Amy Coney Barrett is doing it on constitutional grounds.

01:02:12.760 You know, that's the thing that people misunderstand.

01:02:14.720 When you put a constitutionalist in, you can't guarantee that it's coming your way.

01:02:20.280 In fact, it cut the Constitution cuts both ways.

01:02:24.080 Sometimes you'll you'll love the answer.

01:02:27.400 Other times you won't.

01:02:28.560 But when it comes to the Constitution, either way, you abide by it.

01:02:34.200 And that's what's made our country so strong is we believed in the Constitution.

01:02:39.800 And if you have your judiciary that is ruling based on the Constitution, sometimes you're going to win, sometimes you're going to lose.

01:02:49.400 But I'm interested in reading.

01:02:51.120 And Kelly Shackelford's coming up in just about a half an hour.

01:02:56.520 You know, as I look back, these gas prices, we are up now over 501 per gallon for regular gasoline.

01:03:07.960 Now, I remember when George Bush was in office and, you know, we were fighting that war for Halliburton and all of the free oil that we were going to get.

01:03:18.400 And I remember the outrage of like 275 a gallon.

01:03:23.520 Do you remember that?

01:03:24.360 Oh, yeah.

01:03:25.360 Everybody was outraged.

01:03:26.780 And there were it was nonce.

01:03:28.740 That's all anybody talked about.

01:03:31.120 We're at five dollars a gallon.

01:03:33.200 And I am not hearing this except from friends.

01:03:36.880 I don't hear the news, the news cycle going off on this.

01:03:42.300 Am I just not watching it?

01:03:44.520 No, I it's I don't think it's as big as it should be.

01:03:48.040 I just, you know, when you pay one hundred and twenty dollars to fill up your tank, as I just did yesterday, that should there should be a lot because that's completely unsustainable.

01:03:58.440 You can't keep doing that.

01:03:59.660 There's no way.

01:04:00.760 Yeah, no way.

01:04:01.540 Like, you know, I was thinking, Pat, about how, you know, going back in the day as we've done this show over the years, when we would compare and contrast America and Europe, one of the things we would always bring up is like, I mean, they're paying five dollars a gallon for gas.

01:04:14.980 Right.

01:04:15.360 In Europe.

01:04:16.020 Isn't that crazy?

01:04:16.840 That was our like crazy example of how bad things can get.

01:04:20.600 And here we are at five oh one nationwide.

01:04:24.620 And I will tell you, I think we are closing in on diesel for trucks.

01:04:29.720 I think we are we're about to beat parts of Europe and have higher prices than they even do.

01:04:37.620 It's a little terrifying.

01:05:05.460 Credit card companies are charging insane rates, 20 percent in interest between inflation and interest.

01:05:13.080 How are you going to afford anything?

01:05:15.480 It's only getting worse as the rates keep rising and looks like they may rise again today.

01:05:22.340 The Fed is supposed to come out with several things.

01:05:24.440 We're going to get into that here in a second, but it's not going to be good for your savings or for your bottom line.

01:05:30.220 There's no pressure or obligation.

01:05:32.600 American Financing never charges upfront or hidden fees.

01:06:12.580 We have at least five Supreme Court rulings coming out.

01:06:18.820 Kelly Shackelford is going to be joining us from First Liberty coming up in just a minute.

01:06:23.420 He'll tell us what all of these mean and how much they will affect us in our lives.

01:06:29.080 Do you ever remember a time like this, Stu, where you felt such an impact from the Supreme Court on more than one case?

01:06:38.380 Geez, I mean, you know, the Obamacare one pops to mind is a big one that we followed so closely for such a such a long time.

01:06:46.720 This one, though, because it's Roe versus Wade.

01:06:48.500 But that was one case.

01:06:49.680 Yeah.

01:06:49.800 This is the sort of marquee of the entire Supreme Court, right?

01:06:54.900 It's the focus of every single time the Senate looks at a nominee.

01:07:00.480 They're always focused on whether they're going to be for or against Roe versus Wade.

01:07:05.080 That one obviously being there.

01:07:06.900 But there's several other cases, as you mentioned.

01:07:08.740 The one about guns is a big one in New York.

01:07:11.820 The case about the the government's right to regulate power.

01:07:17.060 Power plants is a massive one when it comes to global warming and how much you're going to be paying for electricity.

01:07:23.160 We have the the prayer on the field one was another big one on religious liberty.

01:07:27.580 Go ahead.

01:07:29.280 Right.

01:07:29.900 Do you think I'm overstating or over reading the impact?

01:07:34.300 We should ask Kelly this next hour of the EPA one.

01:07:38.680 This seems like almost a an end run where the the Commerce Clause that was decided during the FDR administration was an end run around the constitutional powers that gave the federal government and access to everything in our life.

01:07:57.060 This kind of seems like an end run around that decision in a way, doesn't it?

01:08:03.680 Possibly.

01:08:04.300 Yeah, that could that could be the way this plays out, you know.

01:08:06.980 And I think, you know, the court is his is a more of a focus on our lives than I think the founders really intended.

01:08:14.500 You know, I don't think that they wanted.

01:08:16.360 Oh, yeah.

01:08:16.840 But I mean, it has become the backstop against all sorts of abuses by our government.

01:08:22.880 I mean, you know, the courts as a whole have been the only thing stopping this administration from doing all sorts of crazy things from requiring vaccines to, you know.

01:08:34.060 Gosh, we could probably name five or six cases just over the past six months that have been pushed.

01:08:40.700 They've been stopped from doing things.

01:08:43.420 You know, when it comes to immigrations, another one where they were just they would say in the argument, we can't do it ourselves.

01:08:49.520 We need congressional support.

01:08:51.420 And then Congress would say, yeah, we were not going to do that.

01:08:53.800 And they'd say, OK, we'll do it ourselves.

01:08:54.940 And luckily, the courts have been there to stop it over and over again.

01:08:59.600 They're not perfect.

01:09:00.580 But right now they seem to be the only people in our constitutional framework who care about the Constitution.

01:09:08.400 Well, they will get around the Constitution eventually.

01:09:13.620 I think they're going to declare a national emergency, a climate emergency or a banking emergency or a energy shortage emergency.

01:09:22.620 One way or another, emergencies are coming.

01:09:25.260 And that's how you really make an end run around Congress and the Supreme Court.

01:09:30.620 Let me give you this story from CNBC.

01:09:33.080 Raising children is expensive in the United States and families are feeling the pressure.

01:09:39.280 More than 12.5 million children in the U.S. live in poverty.

01:09:43.420 Even middle class families are increasingly struggling to pay for everyday expenses.

01:09:49.580 Yeah.

01:09:50.380 Why is that?

01:09:51.160 The U.S. Department of Agriculture has published a report using 2015 data that estimated expenses of child rearing from birth,

01:10:03.080 through the age 17 in a middle income family of two adults and two children.

01:10:07.820 It is two hundred and thirty three thousand six hundred and ten with inflation.

01:10:12.780 That means it's two hundred and eighty six thousand in twenty twenty two.

01:10:18.040 But adjusting for inflation, they say, may not be enough.

01:10:22.360 Child care costs have actually outpaced inflation.

01:10:25.540 In twenty twenty, child care expenses rose five point zero three percent year after year compared to the annual inflation rate of just one point two at the time.

01:10:36.100 The fact that is sending an infant to daycare in many places across the country could be significantly more expensive than in-state public tuition to send them to college.

01:10:49.180 The United States has been very reluctant, very conservative when it comes to these kinds of family policies.

01:10:56.080 One of the issues with child care is the U.S. isn't or is a patchwork system.

01:11:04.920 We have programs that fully subsidize eligible children.

01:11:10.160 We have tax credits that subsidize a portion of child care cost for higher income families.

01:11:16.940 We also have block grants for states to help them expand access.

01:11:21.180 The problem with all these systems is that with this multitude of approaches,

01:11:24.880 we're just not getting close to anything universal or affordable.

01:11:29.020 OK, so here's CNBC saying, really, we need pre-K money.

01:11:36.300 We need more money and we can't solve this problem state by state.

01:11:41.280 It has to be solved at the federal government.

01:11:45.460 Again, another crisis the government can take care of.

01:11:50.800 Well, I don't know about you, but I get a little tired of working for everybody else.

01:11:57.260 I pay my fair share.

01:12:00.780 I pay more than my fair share.

01:12:03.380 And I usually, you know, I've never had a problem paying my taxes because I love the country and I'm willing to help others.

01:12:10.540 I just think that helping others is not doing gender studies.

01:12:14.640 I think helping others is not enforcing the idea that our public schools have to have open bathrooms with all of our kids and hide information from us parents.

01:12:27.840 No, sorry.

01:12:29.800 At what point do you start saying, I'm not really being represented here?

01:12:34.360 Well, you can't because we have representation.

01:12:38.320 You vote for your representative.

01:12:40.320 That's one of the problems with us.

01:12:44.340 Is we'll hire somebody, but they'll do the exact opposite usually.

01:12:50.500 Now, there is a great article in the Federalist about the student loan bailout.

01:12:56.380 Because we saved and behaved responsibly, President Joe Biden will punish us, nor is his plan fair to those who don't go to college.

01:13:08.220 We put five children through college, one still attending.

01:13:11.960 We saved up.

01:13:13.080 We never took out any loans.

01:13:14.960 We didn't want our kids burdened with debt.

01:13:17.000 Our kids went to William and Mary, Mary Washington, Dartmouth, John Hopkins, and the University of Pennsylvania.

01:13:24.220 So far, the total cost of these colleges has been well more than $600,000.

01:13:31.200 Well, last week, Biden forced taxpayers to assume nearly $6 billion in federal student loans for 560,000 borrowers.

01:13:43.240 News stories announced the decision on forcing taxpayers to pay off the loan for others.

01:13:49.140 And it appears delayed until closer to the election.

01:13:52.380 While some debt is likely to be paid off by taxpayers, Democrats will probably keep their other borrowers locked in politically by continuing to freeze repayments and warning that Republicans will end this.

01:14:07.180 Should my wife and I have just borrowed all of this money and sent our kids to public universities?

01:14:11.860 If so, we could add $600,000 to spend on all sorts of other things, nicer cars, houses, fun trips, or we could have given that money to our children and grandchildren when we die.

01:14:25.580 To save, to pay for a family's college bills, we always purchased used cars.

01:14:31.860 And, you know, we were a year old when we drove them for years.

01:14:38.340 My Ford Taurus lasted 16 years, more than 225,000 miles.

01:14:44.320 My Pontiac transport for my wife lasted almost as long before Russ meant that it could no longer pass the state's yearly safety check.

01:14:53.240 So because we saved up and behaved responsibly, President Biden is going to punish us, those who didn't save for work 90, 80-hour weeks, who spent their money on other nice things.

01:15:06.180 Instead, now we are paying off and picking up their tab for their kids' education.

01:15:12.580 How exactly is that fair?

01:15:14.780 Nor is it fair to those who don't go to college. 0.55

01:15:18.240 This is a great article that you really need to read at The Federalist, but I think this is the way a lot of people are going to start to feel.

01:15:27.440 As we have shortages ourselves and shortages of money, how are people going to deal with the process that we are sending welfare checks and we're sending food stamps down to the border?

01:15:43.280 When we have hungry people here, by the way, the direct impact of the Fed is going to be felt again today.

01:15:57.760 They are raising the rates of interest, so anything connected to the interest rates, that's credit cards, adjustable rate mortgages, or fixed rate mortgages that you haven't secured yet.

01:16:16.660 All of this will change today and could change directly.

01:16:22.800 They're trying to cool the economy, which means they're trying to get you to stop buying stuff.

01:16:30.180 And it's pulling us into a recession if business investing and consumer spending is slowed too much, but they're going to get it right this time.

01:16:39.380 So what it's going to do is it's going to make borrowing more expensive for companies, higher costs of capital, the valuation in the stock market is going to get compressed.

01:16:51.160 We've already seen a lot of that happening right now, but this will be increased drag on your 401k or anything that you have that's a retirement fund.

01:17:01.760 And the problem is, is that we're going up three quarters of a percent.

01:17:07.560 Stu, how much was it for each point just on the federal budget's borrowing?

01:17:14.180 Yes, rates tick up.

01:17:15.460 Do you remember?

01:17:15.720 Yeah, it's one.

01:17:16.860 Each percentage point costs us another $400 billion per year, which is the equivalent of adding a new defense department every year.

01:17:26.360 Oh, my gosh.

01:17:30.380 By adding a point?

01:17:32.440 One point.

01:17:33.500 And it's something like $4 trillion over a decade.

01:17:36.700 And it gets to a point where just the interest on our national debt becomes the focus of our entire budget eventually.

01:17:47.480 I mean, we're not that far away from this becoming really a society that just repays debt rather than actually does things.

01:17:56.360 All right, back in just a minute.

01:17:58.420 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour, Stu, GenuCell.

01:19:47.160 Only on the Glenn Beck program.

01:19:49.020 Welcome to the program.

01:19:50.560 We have Kelly Shackelford coming up in just a second. 1.00

01:19:54.220 He's going to give us a rundown.

01:19:56.200 We have, what, now six Supreme Court decisions?

01:19:59.540 Six decisions, which is a very high number.

01:20:01.840 Yeah, I'm wondering if they're just blowing through a lot of these this week.

01:20:09.960 They do maybe six more.

01:20:13.700 That would bring us up to what?

01:20:16.060 So right now there's 18 remaining as of now, and this is the last one of the day.

01:20:21.580 So we're going to get six.

01:20:22.600 None of the super high profile cases are involved in that.

01:20:26.020 A couple of nine, you know, a 9-0 decision, another one that was essentially 8-1, but nothing super sexy.

01:20:33.960 There is one here about immigration, which is just coming out right now.

01:20:39.420 And it was about a Trump expansion of a definition of certain types of illegal immigrants,

01:20:44.280 basically trying to say more people would be blocked from getting green cards because they were sort of likely to depend too much on government services.

01:20:59.080 As you might expect, Trump expanded the definition of that to try to make sure that people wouldn't be doing that.

01:21:04.920 The Biden administration's pushed back on that.

01:21:06.840 There's a battle between Arizona and San Francisco, basically, on that.

01:21:11.400 A bunch of other states joined that lawsuit as well.

01:21:13.620 So that one's just coming down now.

01:21:15.440 But again, none of the big, big ticket cases today.

01:21:19.320 It's not a huge surprise.

01:21:20.800 Again, typically they save these things till the end, which is in the next couple of weeks.

01:21:25.980 And as you may know, this is the show to listen to during this because we it always happens right in the middle of the show.

01:21:33.000 So as as these rulings break, we will have them for you as they happen.

01:21:37.720 And we'll have the explanation on why, why or if we should care about any of these.

01:21:45.220 Will they impact any of our lives coming up in just about 10 minutes from now?

01:21:50.560 So you don't want to miss that with Kelly Shackelford from from First Liberty.

01:21:54.100 We have the gun case.

01:21:57.620 We have the God case.

01:21:59.600 God in schools.

01:22:00.840 We have Roe versus Wade.

01:22:03.560 And we also have a border question.

01:22:06.720 Correct.

01:22:08.000 Yeah.

01:22:08.180 There's one on the remain in Mexico case or the rule, I guess, that Trump implemented when he was president.

01:22:16.340 That's there's been a big obviously a lot of people on the left don't like that all that much.

01:22:19.880 So there's a case going up for that one as well.

01:22:22.160 I mean, there really are big.

01:22:23.860 You mentioned this earlier, Glenn, cases that are all of them could be weeks of shows.

01:22:29.560 Right.

01:22:29.860 Like they're all really important and really high profile and somewhat divisive.

01:22:36.180 So, I mean, the Roe versus Wade one obviously is the marquee of all of these.

01:22:41.060 But there's a bunch of big ones and we're going to have them here in the next couple of weeks.

01:22:45.420 Yeah.

01:22:46.100 The the border, the EPA, being able to just control everybody's lives and the lives of energy producers.

01:22:55.120 All of these things that are coming out, if they come out on the same day, it's going to be quite a remarkable day in America,

01:23:06.680 especially if they all go towards the conservatives and the Constitution.

01:23:12.260 By the way, have you seen the article in Sports Illustrated on the the football coach, Kennedy, Coach Kennedy?

01:23:22.280 Yeah.

01:23:22.540 In Seattle, that's up at the Supreme Court.

01:23:25.120 I love this.

01:23:25.700 When faith and football teamed up against American democracy.

01:23:32.480 OK, well, we're not a democracy.

01:23:33.960 We're a republic.

01:23:34.620 And with a republic, we have rules.

01:23:36.160 And those are constitutional.

01:23:38.020 And they they say the expected result in the Supreme Court is a win for the coach and the further erosion of the separation between church and state.

01:23:47.680 But, you know, as I when you can show me where the the separation of church and state is in any federal law, just call me.

01:23:58.600 Call me.

01:23:59.860 Why don't you do sports?

01:24:02.280 I'll stay out of sports because I obviously don't know my ass from an elbow.

01:24:06.460 And just like you don't know anything about the Constitution.

01:24:10.300 We've got no room to compromise.

01:24:33.820 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:24:58.700 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:25:02.280 Hello, America, and welcome to Wednesday.

01:25:29.860 You don't want to miss this program.

01:25:32.420 Now, coming up in just a second, Kelly Shackelford is joining us.

01:25:36.140 He is the president and CEO of First Liberty Institute.

01:25:39.440 This is a constitutional powerhouse that is argued case after case after case in front of the Supreme Court.

01:25:46.280 He's been looking at the, I think, six decisions that have just come out from the Supreme Court to tell us what they mean and how they're going to affect our lives, if at all.

01:25:59.120 And we go to Kelly Shackelford in 60 seconds.

01:27:45.560 with the organization he's the CEO of, First Liberty Institute.

01:27:51.100 He is chief counsel of First Liberty Institute as well.

01:27:54.880 Kelly, welcome to the program.

01:27:56.040 Happy to be on, Glenn.

01:27:59.820 Thank you.

01:28:00.600 So you've been watching these roll out from the Supreme Court.

01:28:03.800 We had a surprisingly high number today.

01:28:06.000 We had six different cases.

01:28:08.640 Can you tell me which are the important ones and which actually will affect us?

01:28:14.400 Well, I think for your audience, I doubt very many of them would be of any interest.

01:28:18.680 I think this is a weird time, Glenn.

01:28:22.140 We've got a record number, if you look over the past few weeks, that have been not issued.

01:28:29.780 I mean, there's only 65 cases this term, and we were like 29 or something just a week or so ago,

01:28:36.140 which is, I don't think that's happened since maybe 1950.

01:28:39.760 So, but we're getting closer.

01:28:41.840 We're now down to, I think, 17 or 18.

01:28:44.520 But all the big ones are left.

01:28:46.440 The Dobbs case, the Second Amendment case, the border case, the remaining Mexico,

01:28:51.600 the two big religious liberty cases, which are both our cases at First Liberty,

01:28:57.020 we're waiting for all these big cases, and it looks like they're just going to maybe unleash them all

01:29:01.260 in a very short amount of time close to each other.

01:29:04.260 But we'll wait until next week and see what happens next week.

01:29:09.520 So what are the two big religious decisions that are coming?

01:29:14.640 I know Coach Kennedy.

01:29:16.640 That's one of them.

01:29:17.620 What's the other one?

01:29:18.980 The other one is a case out of Maine.

01:29:21.600 Where they had a school choice program where parents could pick any school that they wanted for their kids,

01:29:28.880 as long as it wasn't religious.

01:29:31.460 And so it was just pure discrimination against all the religious schools.

01:29:36.260 And I think we're going to win.

01:29:38.320 I mean, the argument went well.

01:29:40.240 But this will be a really big case because it will make clear nationwide that when you have school choice,

01:29:46.060 which we really should have, that you can't exclude the religious schools.

01:29:50.360 You guys compete against them like everybody else, and people are going to pick the best education for their children.

01:29:56.920 And so I think that will be a really big case.

01:29:59.320 It's sort of almost the final nail in the coffin on these attempts to discriminate in school choice.

01:30:05.320 And the only step left really will be to get school choice where parents choose.

01:30:10.400 You know, it shouldn't be just rich people get to choose their schools.

01:30:13.960 Everybody should be able to choose what's best for their kid if it's their tax money.

01:30:17.300 And quite honestly, why should I have to pay two tuitions?

01:30:24.080 I mean, I'm willing to do it to help the kids that, you know, whose parents don't have any money.

01:30:29.700 But this should all be choice.

01:30:32.400 And I think those public schools would go out of business quickly.

01:30:35.900 I was in front of an audience last night.

01:30:41.000 I gave a speech, and I was asking the audience some pretty basic questions about America, American history.

01:30:50.180 And I don't know.

01:30:51.440 I think I said three times from the stage last night, wow, our school system has greatly failed us on these things.

01:31:00.780 Nobody would raise their hand on a couple of questions that I thought were fairly easy.

01:31:08.700 Yeah, it's really – I mean, look, not only are they failing in that way, right,

01:31:15.120 but they're also failing in what they're trying to indoctrinate, you know, third graders and second graders,

01:31:20.600 stuff that parents are just appalled by, and we are all appalled by.

01:31:23.860 So, as you said, a number of these schools go out of business.

01:31:28.560 I think a number of those schools would actually have to, you know, start acting like they're in that community

01:31:34.580 and they're actually having to be better and they're actually having to be good

01:31:38.760 and they're actually having to represent the morals and values of their community

01:31:42.480 and not some sort of woke, crazy stuff that they're putting in elementary schools.

01:31:47.140 So I think it would be great in lots of ways.

01:31:50.280 And it's fascinating to me, Glenn, it's one of those issues that, you know,

01:31:54.080 Republicans are heavily in favor of school choice, but so are Democrats.

01:31:57.560 Democrats, I mean, you know, African-American, Hispanic, I mean, these are large percentages

01:32:02.480 and yet they can't get it through because the teachers union has such a lock

01:32:06.540 that they're not voting for something that is very important to most of their people.

01:32:12.200 And so I think this is part of why you see sort of this really fracturing of a lot of things

01:32:18.740 that we had kind of counted on.

01:32:20.060 I mean, there was a district yesterday in Texas that's 84% Hispanic that just had an election for Congress.

01:32:27.900 They elected a Republican.

01:32:29.740 You would never see that in the past.

01:32:31.500 But, you know, they're voting their values.

01:32:34.320 And so some of these things are changing.

01:32:35.840 But that case, I think, will be really big.

01:32:37.900 It's called Carson versus Macon.

01:32:40.120 And, of course, the Coach Kennedy case is a huge case.

01:32:43.880 And I just think we've dealt with for 50 years a lot of these bad old decisions

01:32:48.720 that have created this sort of hostility to religion in our schools.

01:32:53.000 And it shouldn't be that way.

01:32:54.720 The founders never meant it to be that way.

01:32:57.100 They believed in free speech.

01:32:58.780 They believed in the free exercise of religion.

01:33:01.380 And that should be what the law is.

01:33:03.600 And I think we're going to move back that way after Coach Kennedy comes down.

01:33:07.300 But we'll have to wait and see what the opinion says.

01:33:09.640 You know, I've got to tell you, if I had a coach who was a Muslim 0.99

01:33:14.100 and he wanted to take his prayer rug out at the end of a football game and say a prayer,

01:33:20.080 I wouldn't have a problem with that.

01:33:21.860 I'm obviously not a Muslim.

01:33:24.240 And, you know, why does anybody have a problem with these things?

01:33:28.920 The Sports Illustrated has just come out with just an amazingly bad article.

01:33:34.300 When faith and football teamed up against American democracy,

01:33:38.560 the U.S. Supreme Court will decide the case of a football coach at a public high school

01:33:42.760 who was told he wasn't allowed to pray on the field in front of players.

01:33:46.620 The expected result is a win for the coach

01:33:49.280 and the further erosion of the separation between church and state.

01:33:54.140 I don't know where they find that.

01:33:56.220 Kelly, do you?

01:33:57.780 I don't.

01:33:59.020 It was amazing, Glenn.

01:34:01.820 I've been doing this kind of work for 33 years.

01:34:04.500 And this is the first time I can ever remember an article by the media being so ridiculous

01:34:10.660 that it led to its own news story.

01:34:14.140 There were stories yesterday at Fox News, at Breitbart, at all kinds of media

01:34:19.760 because of the Twitter explosion that occurred when Sports Illustrated posted this story.

01:34:25.740 It was so ridiculous and so biased.

01:34:28.380 Everybody's going to be like, okay, a coach praying by himself for 20 seconds is the end of democracy.

01:34:34.880 You know, number one, we're not a democracy.

01:34:37.420 You know, we're a republic, a constitutional republic.

01:34:41.220 And number two, separation of church and state.

01:34:44.140 You know, number one, those words aren't the constitution.

01:34:46.780 But number two, please tell me where the institution of the church is in this.

01:34:52.140 Please tell me where the institution of the state is.

01:34:54.660 It's Coach Kennedy.

01:34:55.540 It's not the state.

01:34:57.500 I mean, this is really ridiculous and very, you know, again, Sports Illustrated, as you said,

01:35:03.620 should stick to sports and not try to get into woke politics in their sports.

01:35:08.920 Or they're going to, you know, this is the reason why they're losing so many people.

01:35:13.700 So let me take it further.

01:35:17.380 As we look at Sports Illustrated and we see all of the errors there, that's one thing.

01:35:21.780 But I listened to the arguments.

01:35:24.640 I listened online through your website.

01:35:27.540 And it was amazing to be able to listen to a Supreme Court hearing was incredible.

01:35:33.840 I've never done it before in its entirety live.

01:35:36.320 Opposing side was was claiming it was it was nothing like like the facts of the story.

01:35:55.240 It was all over the all over the board.

01:35:58.380 I couldn't believe that they could get away with saying the things that they did without it being perjury.

01:36:04.620 Yeah, it's I think I mean, people, a lot of people don't know.

01:36:09.920 But on the other side, and let me let me mention, Glenn, if people want to listen to it, it's still up at our our media website, which is first liberty live dot com.

01:36:18.520 They can go listen to the argument.

01:36:20.200 It's unbelievable.

01:36:21.040 But it.

01:36:22.100 Yeah.

01:36:22.920 I think it's because what happened is that school district, instead of representing themselves, God is their attorneys.

01:36:29.120 The Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which is an interest group with a pretty extreme agenda.

01:36:38.040 They're they're all secular humanists.

01:36:39.840 They want to push religion out of society. 0.99

01:36:41.500 And these were their attorneys.

01:36:43.040 Well, they're not very experienced at the Supreme Court.

01:36:45.920 So I think they did something really foolish, which is you start trying to twist the facts.

01:36:52.660 I mean, there's a record so we could point to the record.

01:36:55.580 And if you remember our counsel, Paul Clement, who's probably the number one guy at the Supreme Court at the end of his rebuttal, he just nailed fact after fact after fact in the record that they were trying to pervert.

01:37:08.540 Well, they can read the record.

01:37:10.200 So that doesn't work.

01:37:11.640 And so what what was happening, by the way, for your audience, if they wonder what we're talking about is coach only wanted to pray by himself.

01:37:18.100 He went he went by himself.

01:37:19.660 He did a 20 second prayer after the game to thank God for the privilege of coaching the young men that he coached.

01:37:24.540 He got that from that movie facing the Giants that he saw.

01:37:27.680 And he made that pledge.

01:37:28.920 And for seven, eight years, that's what he did until they told him to stop.

01:37:32.860 And at one point, midway through his years, some kids went and prayed with him, too.

01:37:38.840 But as soon as the school said, hey, don't do that with the kids, he said, oh, that's fine.

01:37:42.200 That's not what I'm trying to do.

01:37:43.320 And he went back by himself and they ended up firing him because he wouldn't.

01:37:46.980 And he never.

01:37:47.540 Hey, hang on just a second.

01:37:49.160 He he never, ever invited them.

01:37:52.020 They asked him and he said, it's a free country.

01:37:55.620 Do it.

01:37:56.160 Do you know, do what you want.

01:37:57.220 So it wasn't like he was indoctrinating or pulling people in.

01:38:01.040 I think that's really important.

01:38:03.520 That's exactly right.

01:38:04.600 Yeah, he never did.

01:38:06.420 And and they admitted that.

01:38:08.060 I mean, that was one of the things they admitted.

01:38:09.740 They admitted he never coerced anyone.

01:38:12.420 So and yet they their new their new theory at the Supreme Court was to say, oh, no, this

01:38:17.900 is all about Coach Kennedy wanting to pray with the kids.

01:38:20.600 And and then my favorite was they put a picture in the brief and they argued this all the time

01:38:26.080 and the media messed this up all the time.

01:38:27.900 It was a picture of Coach on a knee after the game, surrounded by all these players.

01:38:34.440 And they were saying, look, see, see all the players.

01:38:37.400 Well, what they didn't mention was that was after Coach was told, hey, you go to a knee

01:38:42.680 again, you're going to be fired even by yourself.

01:38:44.620 And he was like, look, I don't want to get the kids in trouble.

01:38:47.400 So I'm going to wait until they're singing the fight song facing the audience because

01:38:51.120 I don't want them with me.

01:38:52.280 So he went by himself.

01:38:54.020 But what was happening is the whole country was watching this and he was down on his knee

01:39:00.960 and he felt people coming around him.

01:39:02.660 It's like, oh, no, the kids are coming around me.

01:39:05.080 When he opened his eyes, it was the other team, all the players, all the coaches.

01:39:10.280 And so, as I told the media, this wasn't about him playing with his players.

01:39:13.700 This was about an America. 0.72

01:39:15.740 When the government comes and tries to shut down somebody's First Amendment rights, Americans

01:39:20.800 rise up and say, you're going to have to run over me, too. 0.98

01:39:24.020 And that's what was happening.

01:39:25.520 It had nothing to do with his players.

01:39:27.420 It was the other team.

01:39:29.140 If there's ever an American story, that's it.

01:39:34.100 Let me take a quick one-minute break and come back to you.

01:39:37.700 We're talking to Kelly Shackelford from First Liberty about what's happening in the Supreme

01:39:43.300 Court.

01:39:43.620 I just want to take your temperature on what's happening with the security for the Supreme

01:39:50.400 Court, the vote that happened in Congress yesterday.

01:39:52.800 And why, I guess it's John Roberts' decision, why they're waiting on this decision that

01:40:01.080 is causing most of the angst.

01:40:04.560 We'll talk to you here in one minute.

01:41:32.880 It is a free service to you, realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:41:37.560 Ten seconds, station ID.

01:41:51.680 Kelly, I read a story today, I think it was on The Federalist, that was excoriating John

01:41:56.200 Roberts, because in their words, by holding this this case, they are or he is putting the

01:42:07.820 justices in jeopardy and and it's not safe.

01:42:13.100 I don't know if that's true or not.

01:42:15.740 It might be safer to hold everything and then just do all of the really controversial ones

01:42:20.540 at the end and be on a plane when those things are coming out.

01:42:23.600 So what are your thoughts on that?

01:42:26.820 Yeah, I had some of the same feelings.

01:42:30.180 I felt like they should push it out quickly, you know, after that that leak.

01:42:36.180 I thought they should have gone to the justices and said, hey, finish up your opinions.

01:42:39.800 We're getting this out because the extra incentive of of somebody thinking they could be a hero

01:42:46.260 if they killed somebody, because the opinion is not is if it's not out, it's it's you know,

01:42:53.380 you could literally change what the opinion could be if you took somebody off this earth.

01:42:58.180 So I thought that was dangerous.

01:43:00.040 But at the same time, what you say is true, too, which is let's say they did come out with it.

01:43:05.220 It might be rough for them to be here over the next few weeks issuing all these other opinions

01:43:10.800 when, you know, their lives would be in danger, then maybe it would be more for revenge

01:43:15.760 than to change the opinion at that point.

01:43:18.460 But it's possible.

01:43:21.060 Is there any reason they don't just release all what's left now, 18 one day, just release them all?

01:43:28.340 They could.

01:43:30.600 And that's one of the theories is what they're doing.

01:43:34.500 You know, you could go with one or one of two ways, either, you know, these more controversial

01:43:39.840 decisions.

01:43:40.880 There's more back and forth.

01:43:42.680 There's more working on dissents and working on side opinions, you know, concurrences, et cetera.

01:43:48.120 And so it just takes longer.

01:43:50.060 But there's also the idea of sort of just waiting and issuing them as they're on their

01:43:54.940 planes overseas to do their teaching rotations, which they typically in the summer, they'll

01:44:01.420 go overseas, most of them, except for Thomas, who takes his RV around the country.

01:44:06.240 They go out of the country and they, you know, teach and speak and do that.

01:44:10.100 And so they like to put the most controversial ones where by the time they come out, they're

01:44:15.100 on a plane, they're gone.

01:44:16.180 Um, uh, and that might be one of the strategies, you know, one of the things we've talked about

01:44:20.760 is the danger of court packing.

01:44:22.340 When these opinions come down, which I expect a good opinion on Dobbs, a good opinion on

01:44:28.300 the second amendment.

01:44:29.900 I'm, I'm, I'm hopeful after both arguments and both the religious freedoms cases, I think

01:44:34.220 they're going to be wins, but we'll have to wait and see the, the remaining Mexico, the 0.80

01:44:37.920 border cases.

01:44:38.880 I mean, I think we're going to get victory after victory.

01:44:41.060 I think the left's head is going to turn, uh, you know, around and around.

01:44:45.080 And I think they're going to go crazy and I think they're going to push for court packing

01:44:49.160 and all this.

01:44:49.820 And so maybe John Roberts thinks that you just issue them all at the same time, that would

01:44:55.560 be better than just sort of week apart, week apart, week apart where they just build up

01:44:59.800 their frenzy.

01:45:00.560 I don't know.

01:45:01.520 But, uh, all I know is we're down to 18 cases and, you know, two weeks and, uh, and,

01:45:07.840 you know, the first time we'll, we'll see another opinion would probably be next Tuesday

01:45:11.200 because Monday is a federal holiday.

01:45:13.260 So we're, we're coming down to the very end and there's all the big decisions are still

01:45:17.360 in their hands.

01:45:20.240 Kelly, thank you so much.

01:45:21.380 And thank you for all the work that you guys do.

01:45:23.300 If you ever are looking to support a group, um, uh, a nonprofit and really have your money

01:45:29.980 make a difference, I would suggest you donate to, uh, first Liberty.

01:45:34.200 It's an outrageously good, uh, organization that is making changes that will last Kelly

01:45:42.220 Shackelford, first Liberty.org back program.

01:45:49.180 Our sponsor this half hour is gold line.

01:45:54.240 I don't know if you've seen what's happening in the stock market, but it ain't pretty.

01:45:58.040 Uh, and the fed today is supposed to, uh, raise maybe three quarters of a point.

01:46:04.520 That's not going to do great things for the stock market.

01:46:07.600 Again, how much money have you lost in your retirement?

01:46:10.740 Have you even been brave enough to look how much money have you lost?

01:46:15.200 If you had a Bitcoin, who, what is Bitcoin at today?

01:46:20.020 Stu, um, you know, I tried, I've been saying you've, you've got to spread your money around

01:46:26.540 in as many different places as you possibly can.

01:46:30.040 Gold is the only thing so far that, uh, I have, uh, that, that is holding its value should

01:46:37.680 be growing, but the government is doing all kinds of crazy things, but it is, you'll at

01:46:41.580 least have something in the end.

01:46:44.080 Every box of 20 gold graded mint state $5 Indian coins, you buy them every 20, you're going

01:46:52.140 to get 50 brilliant uncirculated silver Kennedy half dollars for free.

01:46:57.420 866-GOLD-LINE.

01:46:59.220 Call them now.

01:46:59.780 866-GOLD-LINE.

01:47:01.200 Tonight, my Wednesday night special on Blaze TV.

01:47:23.960 We've got some classic Beck for you.

01:47:25.740 Uh, you're not going to want to miss it like in the, uh, in the bad old days, you can't

01:47:32.540 miss any of these episodes because they tend to build off of one another.

01:47:36.560 A couple of weeks back, I showed you, uh, the new, uh, the new global based rules system

01:47:42.200 and how the Biden administration was trying to give the WHO expedited authority where they

01:47:48.360 could bypass our governmental authority.

01:47:51.480 Also during that show, I mentioned new rule changes that were being pushed by the SEC and

01:47:57.820 how Bank of America had written a letter praising it.

01:48:02.080 Well, my research team, because they're overachievers decide to look a little bit more into this

01:48:07.400 and it led us to financial records, dark money group and organizations that are tied to the

01:48:15.980 UN and the world economic forum.

01:48:19.020 They are the ones pushing a reorganization of the financial system.

01:48:23.780 And the Biden administration is basically copying and pasting everything that they want.

01:48:29.980 We also found that some of this was attempted during the Obama administration.

01:48:34.380 And the great reset has been in motion since at least Obama's first term when Michelle Obama

01:48:42.480 gave her speech in Puerto Rico.

01:48:44.080 Remember, she said, we're going to have to move into a different place and change our traditions

01:48:48.220 and our language.

01:48:50.140 It was shocking and horrifying at the time, but hard to decipher what she actually meant.

01:48:56.000 Other than the big overview.

01:48:57.540 Um, we now know I'm going to show you tonight the catastrophic consequences for what they

01:49:06.160 are at this moment trying to finish.

01:49:09.460 If you think food and gas and labor shortages are bad now, wait until Biden finishes it all

01:49:17.840 and he doesn't need Congress to do it.

01:49:20.740 Don't miss the Wednesday night special tonight at 9 p.m.

01:49:24.980 Eastern on Blaze TV.

01:49:27.540 You see, Megan Kelly was talking about Fox News the other day where she was excoriating 1.00

01:49:33.180 them for.

01:49:34.280 I mean, what are they doing?

01:49:35.020 They're running, you know, positive, uh, you know, 12 year old kid stories that had a

01:49:40.640 sex change.

01:49:41.320 And it's like, what, what is happening to Fox News?

01:49:44.320 The blaze has never been more important tonight.

01:49:47.860 The pathway to servitude, the traders who created the global supply crisis.

01:49:54.260 Uh, also just, uh, want to let you know that, uh, president Biden, uh, yesterday wanted to

01:50:03.160 remind us that today is world elder abuse awareness day.

01:50:09.100 Uh, and it, uh, is a call to action on individuals and organizations and communities to raise awareness

01:50:17.180 about elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

01:50:22.020 Now, when Joe Biden said this yesterday, I thought, gee, I can't think of some old timer that's being

01:50:32.860 exploited by the people who supposedly love him.

01:50:37.540 Um, but maybe that's just me, you know, my son, when he was like 10 years old, we're brutal to each other

01:50:45.240 in our family.

01:50:46.100 We are, we are the most sarcastic family that you've ever met.

01:50:49.980 And we're brutal about it.

01:50:51.460 And we love it.

01:50:52.160 It's the way we show our love to one another, strangely.

01:50:55.920 Um, but Rafe was probably, I don't know, about 10 years old.

01:50:59.280 And, uh, and I was giving him crap on something and he said, listen, old man, one day I'm going

01:51:06.460 to be in charge and I'm going to send you to a maternity ward. 1.00

01:51:11.180 And, um, you know, that's not elderly abuse.

01:51:13.800 I think, I think what he meant was geriatric center, but I, that would have been maybe abuse,

01:51:22.040 but a maternity ward being there with a little babies and new moms. 1.00

01:51:26.260 I think that would be, I think that would be great.

01:51:28.300 So son, thank you for your effort on elder abuse, but it didn't work.

01:51:34.120 Um, now there's a couple of things that I want to, I want to talk to you about, uh, that I think

01:51:39.460 are really, really, really important.

01:51:43.800 Um, I just want to play some audio here.

01:51:47.260 Uh, but before I do, I want to play audio of one, one thing of elder abuse.

01:51:52.120 Is this elder abuse or does Joe Biden know all about this?

01:51:59.420 And he's actually the one orchestrating it.

01:52:01.900 Here's Hunter Biden in a piece that maybe tomorrow, Stu, we'll play in its entirety.

01:52:06.940 It's like five minutes and it is remarkable.

01:52:10.520 He taped this conversation, uh, on his laptop.

01:52:14.560 He's having a conversation with another artist who is helping him, uh, you know, with his

01:52:21.200 art and he talks about his father.

01:52:24.340 Listen to this.

01:52:25.740 He's going to talk about drug reform and any other things that I want him to.

01:52:29.120 He'll talk about, um, anything that I wanted to, that he believes in.

01:52:33.360 If I say this is important to me, then he will work a way in which to make it a part of

01:52:39.780 his, of his platform.

01:52:41.120 Um, my dad respects me more than he respects anyone in the world.

01:52:44.040 And I know that to be certain.

01:52:48.180 Hmm.

01:52:48.740 He goes on to talk about how I call my dad all the time and we talk about policies and,

01:52:55.020 uh, he's going to talk about this and he'll push whatever I want him to push.

01:52:59.720 It's an extraordinary piece of audio, especially when dad said, I don't know anything about

01:53:04.760 anything.

01:53:05.140 We don't talk about anything like that.

01:53:07.980 He's making it very clear on this.

01:53:10.060 Joe Biden knows and, uh, and talks about all of it, but Joe Biden is kind of an interesting

01:53:18.740 cat because I don't know if he's deliberately ignorant, if he is completely senile, if they

01:53:29.000 won't let him watch television.

01:53:30.980 I, I'm not sure if you look at the economy right now and how people are feeling, this

01:53:37.220 man is more out of touch.

01:53:38.740 I think then really anybody since, uh, the czar Nicholas, I mean, he was out of touch with

01:53:47.320 the people.

01:53:48.260 I think Joe Biden is approaching this.

01:53:50.780 Listen to how he, he talks about, um, our economy and how people are feeling right now.

01:53:58.720 This is cut six consumer confidence at the lowest in 70 years, lower than, um, the great, uh,

01:54:07.680 recession, lower than the stock market crash of the eighties, lower than after nine 11.

01:54:13.000 What can the white house do or will it do to instill some confidence in the American people

01:54:18.320 in the economy?

01:54:18.900 Well, it's important to first level set on where we actually are economically and we

01:54:24.540 are in a transition.

01:54:25.660 We are moving out of what has been the strongest economic recovery in modern American history

01:54:30.860 to what can be a more stable period of growth where we don't have to sacrifice all of those

01:54:36.600 economic gains.

01:54:37.860 And the key I think here is that we face real challenges and prices being, uh, first among

01:54:43.400 them.

01:54:43.700 But we also have real economic strengths, uh, the strength of our labor market, the strength

01:54:48.080 of household balance sheets, where, uh, notwithstanding people are, uh, reporting low, low confidence.

01:54:53.800 Uh, they are also reporting, uh, record highs in terms of, uh, financial stability.

01:55:00.600 Stop for a second.

01:55:01.760 Stu, do you know anyone who is feelings financially stable right now?

01:55:08.360 Do you know anybody who's like, you know what, this is bad, but I've got so much money stacked

01:55:13.300 away in the bank that I'm not worried about it.

01:55:15.860 Yeah.

01:55:16.280 I mean, even people who are well off, I find, I mean, as you know, Glenn, we constantly gather

01:55:23.900 in country clubs and, and, uh, have cocktail parties with elitists, uh, because we're conservatives.

01:55:30.060 And when we do that, even, even those people, I mean, you even notice people who are well

01:55:35.740 off and have a decent amount of resources.

01:55:38.060 They have no idea how to protect them.

01:55:40.100 Where do you put this stuff right now?

01:55:41.580 You, you've mentioned gold earlier, which has held up really well as compared to pretty

01:55:45.400 much everything else over this period.

01:55:47.780 But like, you know, you're in crypto, you're down, you're in tech stocks, you're down, you're

01:55:52.000 in the S and P 500, you're down.

01:55:54.220 Uh, you know, you're in cash, you're definitely down because inflation is wiping you out slowly,

01:56:00.340 even though you don't realize it.

01:56:02.480 And all of this like adds up.

01:56:04.440 I mean, I, you know, they keep saying this, that like people have a higher amount of money,

01:56:10.080 you know, in their savings accounts.

01:56:11.600 And it's just like, it's completely a ridiculous measure.

01:56:14.700 They gave a bunch of free money to people and told them they couldn't go anywhere.

01:56:18.120 So yeah, a lot of people wound up over the COVID period, saving some money because they

01:56:23.120 were terrified of what was coming next.

01:56:25.200 And that money is just slowly dwindling away.

01:56:28.100 And over time it will go away completely in crisis.

01:56:32.500 Right.

01:56:33.340 If it is kept in a bank, but I'm not sure it's being kept in the bank anymore.

01:56:38.080 I think a lot of people have just blown through that, not blown through it, but how many weeks

01:56:44.020 can you fill your car once or twice a week at $120 a tank?

01:56:49.700 How many weeks can the average person do that?

01:56:51.920 I don't know.

01:56:53.120 I don't know, but I don't think very long.

01:56:56.360 Biden goes on to say, this is when he was at the AFL-CIO, that problems are bad, but not

01:57:03.060 like everywhere else.

01:57:05.720 Under my plan for the economy, we've made extraordinary progress.

01:57:09.720 And we put America in a position to tackle a worldwide problem that's worse everywhere

01:57:14.780 but here.

01:57:15.360 And then he says inflation is not because of reckless spending.

01:57:24.620 Cut eight.

01:57:25.300 I don't want to hear any more of these lies about reckless spending.

01:57:29.920 We're changing people's lives.

01:57:31.300 Watch.

01:57:35.860 Okay.

01:57:36.680 What?

01:57:37.260 Why is he so angry?

01:57:38.420 You see what he's saying here?

01:57:39.360 He is.

01:57:40.440 I don't know.

01:57:41.200 Because he's an old man and he's angry. 1.00

01:57:42.800 Do you see what he just did?

01:57:47.040 He said, I don't want to hear about this reckless spending anymore.

01:57:51.160 It's all lies.

01:57:53.060 We're changing people's lives.

01:57:55.320 So what he's saying, as I interpret this, what he's, and I hate to interpret him because

01:58:03.100 he may not have had any idea what he was talking about.

01:58:05.680 But if you want to look at that logically, what he's saying is it's not the reckless spending

01:58:11.380 that is causing all of these problems.

01:58:13.920 That's a lie.

01:58:15.800 We are changing people's lives, meaning we are getting off of all of the fossil fuels.

01:58:24.000 We're changing the way the economy even is run.

01:58:28.500 We're leaving capitalism and going into the Great Reset.

01:58:32.840 All of these things have to be done and it's going to be painful and we're going to be saving

01:58:38.580 people's lives because of this.

01:58:40.360 I think that's a moment of real honesty where he's telling the American people because he's

01:58:46.080 done it before.

01:58:47.460 This is going to be hard, but at the end of it, we're going to be better off because we

01:58:52.200 won't be on fossil fuels.

01:58:54.660 Yeah.

01:58:54.860 And I think it's important to look at what could have been here.

01:58:59.200 When we were going through COVID, I remember, Glenn, having a conversation with you saying

01:59:02.500 that, like, you know, this is interesting in that we're seeing a real test of what conservatives

01:59:07.240 believe about spending.

01:59:09.400 We've talked about this for so many years and spending has always been bad and there's

01:59:13.740 always been a problem.

01:59:15.020 But our case was always, if you start going crazy, there is a breaking point.

01:59:18.160 And there's a there was the competing ideology of modern monetary theory.

01:59:22.960 And we said during the time, like, look, we're just experimenting with this.

01:59:26.620 We're going for it.

01:59:27.300 We're going to print four trillion dollars, five trillion dollars.

01:59:30.700 We're going to have all of this money coming from the Fed.

01:59:32.960 And if there's not an effect from this, like, I don't know, does that prove our thesis wrong

01:59:38.340 all this time?

01:59:39.440 And here we go.

01:59:40.940 They do this.

01:59:42.340 They now print another.

01:59:43.900 Then Biden comes in.

01:59:45.080 They pass another multi-trillion dollar bill.

01:59:48.540 And we're seeing that the entire time the conservative position on this was correct.

01:59:54.180 Look at inflation and what's happening right now.

01:59:56.200 It's destroying families.

01:59:58.420 And I think it's important to remember that the Democrats wanted and almost got another six

02:00:06.260 trillion dollars of spending in that between three and six.

02:00:11.060 Let me let me tell you, I want to end the program with a piece of audio on that very

02:00:17.760 subject.

02:00:34.020 was wondering if I could borrow a cup of your identity.

02:00:36.760 It's worse.

02:00:38.180 It's worse than you think it is.

02:00:39.780 One day you go on to look at your bank account and he's already been there and he's taken

02:00:44.080 more of a cup and it's gone.

02:00:46.340 It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting your life

02:01:32.540 All right, I want to play a piece of audio here that I think really says everything you

02:01:48.760 really need to know about what is, you know, what is really happening in our country.

02:01:58.300 You know, Stu was just talking about inflation and saying, you know, they could have had three

02:02:04.520 to six trillion dollars more and everybody was for it.

02:02:08.300 But I people are now pretending that they weren't for it.

02:02:12.260 Let me play this little flashback from Joe Scarborough on on MSNBC.

02:02:19.320 Listen, this is pretty simple stuff.

02:02:22.100 Let me say that again.

02:02:23.500 This is pretty simple stuff.

02:02:25.240 You get the head of the Progressive Caucus, you get Joe Manchin and you get Joe Biden

02:02:33.480 and you put him in a room and you say, we're not going to get out of this room until one

02:02:40.780 of two things happen.

02:02:42.540 One, we have a deal or two, we're going to have a press conference where we go out and

02:02:50.000 announce that Joe Manchin does not support any piece of legislation regarding Build Back

02:02:56.380 Better.

02:02:57.240 We either have a bill or Joe Manchin will never support anything.

02:03:00.580 And he's been lying to us for the past year and a half.

02:03:03.440 It's very clear.

02:03:04.820 And my God, I just wonder what would have happened if Progressive had their six trillion

02:03:09.560 dollar wish earlier this year.

02:03:11.220 Yeah, and in an ironic way, you almost have to thank Joe Manchin for blocking that.

02:03:16.080 I wouldn't even say ironically thank Joe Manchin.

02:03:18.440 You can just thank Joe Manchin if you're glad that interest rates aren't even higher.

02:03:27.300 I mean, look at that.

02:03:29.260 He was saying to his audience and a group of experts, look, you just have to throw Joe Manchin

02:03:35.660 under the bus.

02:03:36.520 He's not going to go, but we can't stop this.

02:03:38.660 We have to have this.

02:03:40.520 Now, as if he never said any of that, yeah, well, you got to thank Joe Manchin for that.

02:03:47.860 These guys have no soul.

02:03:49.680 There's just no soul left.

02:03:52.280 Hey, tonight, 9 p.m., you want to see what's coming and what's coming next and the plan that
