The Glenn Beck Program - What Glenn MUST Hear from 2024 Presidential Candidates ｜ Guest： Sean Reyes ｜ 2⧸1⧸23

00:00:00.000 It is Stu back in our home, my wife's home studio with a fancy pink sign behind me.

00:00:05.460 It is going to be an interesting one today.

00:00:08.380 We are in February in Texas, which I think means we should just shut the state down.

00:00:13.080 Apparently no one can do anything in Texas.

00:00:15.980 Nothing works.

00:00:17.120 We're just going to skip February.

00:00:20.200 Is there, you know, people come south for the winter.

00:00:23.780 Maybe we should just, you know, have a version of that in Texas.

00:00:27.700 I don't know.

00:00:28.220 We go to south Texas.

00:00:29.120 We go to Florida, Arizona.

00:00:31.140 I don't know what we're supposed to do, but apparently the society cannot operate in this current structure.

00:00:36.380 Welcome to the program.

00:00:37.340 Glenn is, I don't know, maybe joining us at some point today.

00:00:40.320 We're going to see how that goes as he's having some technical difficulties at his house.

00:00:46.420 So it's me, Stu, and we will get through it together and look at all the big news stories of the day.

00:00:50.880 There's a lot of them, and we'll be starting that here in just about 20 seconds or so, or 15 seconds, as she just said.

00:00:57.280 We'll be back just in a couple of seconds and give you all the details of what you need to know today.

00:01:01.700 Thanks for joining the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:02.960 It's Stu.

00:01:03.320 We'll be back in a second.

00:01:03.960 Thank you.

00:01:04.000 We'll be back in a second.

00:01:11.820 We'll be back in a second.

00:01:12.680 We'll be back in a second.

00:01:15.760 We've got no room to compromise

00:01:24.940 We've got to stand together

00:01:28.940 It's the course of mine

00:01:30.660 Stand up, stand, hold the line

00:01:35.980 It's a new day

00:01:39.700 I'm trying to rise

00:01:41.360 What you're about to hear

00:01:45.580 is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:51.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:57.640 Joining you from the winter wonderland of Dallas, Texas,

00:02:02.500 is Stu.

00:02:03.760 Glenn is going to be here as well,

00:02:05.340 depending on his technology requirements.

00:02:08.340 Joining us as well today,

00:02:09.580 to take you to all the big stories of the day,

00:02:12.060 Kevin McCarthy is going to visit the White House.

00:02:14.700 It's going to be an exciting one.

00:02:16.300 Will Joe Biden remain awake for the entire meeting?

00:02:19.700 We'll speculate on that question here in just a second.

00:02:25.380 So what is the value of $20?

00:02:28.300 How far is that going to get you these days?

00:02:30.800 Maybe not too far with a lot of things,

00:02:32.600 but I can convince you it might change your life

00:02:35.500 if you're one of the millions of Americans

00:02:37.020 who live with frequent and debilitating pain.

00:02:39.580 Would it be worth it?

00:02:40.860 Because $20 will get you a trial pack of Relief Factor.

00:02:44.540 And if you're anything like me,

00:02:45.780 once you try Relief Factor,

00:02:47.020 you're going to get your life back.

00:02:48.780 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.

00:02:51.820 So if you or somebody you love is dealing with pain,

00:02:55.120 please give Relief Factor a try.

00:02:57.220 It's not a drug,

00:02:58.120 but it was developed by doctors

00:02:59.280 and had four key ingredients

00:03:00.880 that will fight inflammation,

00:03:03.240 which is causing most of our pain.

00:03:05.360 Three-week quick start.

00:03:06.220 Now, 1995, it's a trial pack.

00:03:08.740 So try it now.

00:03:10.100 70% of the people,

00:03:11.420 are you part of the 70% that got their life back?

00:03:15.040 ReliefFactor.com.

00:03:16.320 Call 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:03:18.140 1995, three-week quick start.

00:03:21.140 ReliefFactor.com.

00:03:23.500 Feel the difference.

00:03:24.640 So, Kevin McCarthy,

00:03:29.760 the brand new Speaker of the House,

00:03:32.300 is going to be going to visit Joe Biden today

00:03:36.320 at the White House.

00:03:38.160 In his first visit,

00:03:39.460 at least since all these changes happened

00:03:42.380 after this past election.

00:03:45.580 He's looking to talk debt limit.

00:03:48.020 And this has been a fascinating back and forth.

00:03:49.980 And I say fascinating,

00:03:52.840 not in the sense of like,

00:03:54.120 the Super Bowl is fascinating

00:03:55.480 or the Kardashians are fascinating.

00:03:57.540 I mean, Washington fascinating.

00:03:59.260 The fascinating that bores everybody to tears,

00:04:01.740 but is really important

00:04:02.680 and may just ruin your life.

00:04:03.840 That type of fascinating.

00:04:05.580 You know,

00:04:06.020 it's like there's things that they say in Washington,

00:04:08.980 like, we need a quorum call.

00:04:10.560 And you realize the most boring.

00:04:13.020 Let's talk about tort reform.

00:04:15.000 These things are incredibly boring,

00:04:16.840 but make an incredible difference to your life.

00:04:20.100 And that's really sad.

00:04:22.320 You'd like the exciting things to matter.

00:04:24.060 The exciting things don't seem to matter.

00:04:25.660 The boring things matter.

00:04:27.000 And one of the most boring things you could talk about

00:04:28.840 is the debt limit.

00:04:30.420 Now, the debt limit is something

00:04:32.080 that we've established long, long ago.

00:04:34.560 For what reason?

00:04:36.580 Why did we do this in the first place?

00:04:39.220 The debt limit is something that

00:04:41.240 should kind of be a big

00:04:46.260 highlighted sentence

00:04:47.300 on everybody's radar

00:04:49.320 that says,

00:04:50.020 hey,

00:04:50.520 when you hit the debt limit,

00:04:53.080 that's supposed to tell you something.

00:04:55.480 It's supposed to give you information.

00:04:57.420 It's not just a big number.

00:04:59.280 It's not just how we learn

00:05:00.760 the next in the sequence

00:05:02.900 of illion numbers.

00:05:05.020 Oh, million, billion,

00:05:06.460 trillion, quadrillion, quintillion.

00:05:08.080 How do we know the next one?

00:05:08.940 Well, probably the debt limit

00:05:09.940 is going to teach it to us.

00:05:10.820 That's how we learn things.

00:05:12.880 That's how we learn math in this country.

00:05:14.240 It's not just that, though.

00:05:16.740 It's supposed to give us

00:05:18.460 a giant sign on the side of the highway

00:05:21.260 that says,

00:05:21.840 hey, guys, you're going too fast.

00:05:24.340 There's a giant brick wall ahead,

00:05:26.640 and maybe we should slow down a little bit.

00:05:29.600 It's not just a number.

00:05:31.800 Yet Washington seems to treat it

00:05:33.680 just as a number.

00:05:35.560 Now,

00:05:36.720 Kevin McCarthy's going to go

00:05:38.820 to the White House today,

00:05:39.720 and he's going to look

00:05:41.940 to try to secure

00:05:43.240 some sort of spending cuts.

00:05:45.620 He wants

00:05:46.460 the Democrats to sign off

00:05:49.540 because they're going to need to

00:05:50.480 in the Senate

00:05:51.260 and, of course, the President

00:05:52.880 to cut some spending

00:05:54.740 in exchange for

00:05:57.400 extending the debt limit

00:05:59.100 because we've already

00:06:00.680 passed the debt limit.

00:06:01.780 We're now in that situation

00:06:02.800 where they do fancy accounting

00:06:05.180 that buys

00:06:06.640 the United States of America,

00:06:08.640 the number one economy

00:06:10.060 in the world,

00:06:12.520 buys us something like

00:06:14.020 five or six months

00:06:15.280 before we actually

00:06:18.520 start defaulting on stuff.

00:06:19.980 And it's fascinating

00:06:21.140 to watch this happen.

00:06:22.100 Don't you wish you had these tricks?

00:06:23.600 Why don't we have

00:06:24.660 these accounting tricks?

00:06:26.220 I want these accounting tricks, too.

00:06:27.980 I want to be able,

00:06:29.000 when I can't pay a bill,

00:06:30.180 to just say,

00:06:30.820 look, we're going to move

00:06:31.800 money around in ways

00:06:33.320 that you don't really understand

00:06:34.640 that aren't really going

00:06:35.880 to affect us,

00:06:36.840 but it's going to give us

00:06:38.040 six more months

00:06:38.660 to pay that bill.

00:06:40.040 Where's my opportunity

00:06:41.240 to use those tricks?

00:06:42.460 I would love to

00:06:43.300 figure that out.

00:06:45.720 But we don't have those tricks.

00:06:47.200 Well, we have those tricks.

00:06:48.080 We just go to prison

00:06:48.840 if we use them.

00:06:50.360 They don't.

00:06:51.340 They just write letters

00:06:53.420 to each other

00:06:53.940 telling them,

00:06:54.880 we're using

00:06:55.520 extraordinary circumstances,

00:06:57.020 extraordinary accounting measures

00:06:58.640 to make sure

00:06:59.500 we can pay our bills.

00:07:00.560 Now, the media

00:07:03.140 is looking at this

00:07:03.860 and saying,

00:07:04.360 this is all Republicans' fault.

00:07:06.060 This is the fault

00:07:07.100 of the Republicans.

00:07:08.720 We,

00:07:09.440 for years

00:07:10.260 and years

00:07:10.960 and years,

00:07:11.860 have come together

00:07:12.900 when it comes

00:07:13.580 to the debt limit.

00:07:14.340 And we've said,

00:07:15.900 boys and girls,

00:07:16.900 we're just going to agree

00:07:18.300 that we're going

00:07:19.280 to go deeper into debt.

00:07:22.020 You know,

00:07:22.600 20 years ago,

00:07:23.400 we just agreed

00:07:24.120 we would go

00:07:24.900 deeper into debt.

00:07:25.960 And then,

00:07:26.560 10 years ago,

00:07:27.300 we just agreed

00:07:28.020 we would go deeper

00:07:28.920 into debt.

00:07:29.380 And why won't

00:07:30.260 the Republicans

00:07:30.840 this time

00:07:31.440 just agree

00:07:32.160 that we're going

00:07:33.340 to go deeper

00:07:34.420 into debt?

00:07:35.620 Isn't that a great solution?

00:07:37.740 Wouldn't it be wonderful

00:07:38.860 if we just came together

00:07:41.740 and said,

00:07:42.460 yes,

00:07:42.820 we'll print more money.

00:07:44.220 Yes,

00:07:44.560 we'll borrow more money

00:07:45.420 from China.

00:07:46.520 Yes,

00:07:47.020 we'll continue

00:07:47.920 this irresponsible

00:07:48.980 pattern of behavior

00:07:50.180 that got us

00:07:50.920 to this moment.

00:07:51.660 Of course we will.

00:07:52.540 We'll agree

00:07:53.140 to that over

00:07:54.140 and over

00:07:54.620 and over again

00:07:55.340 in perpetuity.

00:07:56.760 Why would we change?

00:07:57.700 We've done it before.

00:07:58.560 That's a good question.

00:08:00.940 It's a good question.

00:08:03.300 You know,

00:08:03.500 the debt limit

00:08:04.080 at some level

00:08:05.400 is like

00:08:06.100 a hangover.

00:08:09.260 You have a late night.

00:08:11.200 You drink

00:08:11.960 far too many shots.

00:08:13.720 Fireball

00:08:14.200 at the moment

00:08:14.960 seemed like a good idea

00:08:16.340 at 2.15 a.m.

00:08:17.860 Why not a couple of shots?

00:08:19.220 Everyone's really happy.

00:08:20.220 Everyone's into this night.

00:08:21.160 Let's go for it.

00:08:22.560 A couple more shots

00:08:23.620 of fireball.

00:08:24.700 What could possibly

00:08:25.720 go wrong?

00:08:26.320 And the debt limit

00:08:28.600 serves

00:08:29.200 as that hangover headache

00:08:31.420 that next day.

00:08:33.320 Sure,

00:08:33.920 you can push through it.

00:08:35.540 Sure,

00:08:36.140 you can go out drinking

00:08:36.880 that next night.

00:08:38.040 If everyone just agrees

00:08:39.140 to make those decisions

00:08:40.220 once again,

00:08:40.980 we can be back

00:08:41.640 at that bar

00:08:42.240 the next day

00:08:43.200 at 2.15 in the morning

00:08:45.120 doing another round

00:08:46.620 of fireball shots

00:08:47.660 and expecting

00:08:48.740 different results

00:08:49.640 in the morning.

00:08:50.960 That hangover headache

00:08:52.580 gives you

00:08:53.580 that reminder.

00:08:54.400 the reminder

00:08:56.440 to say

00:08:57.080 wait a minute

00:08:57.780 should we examine

00:08:59.100 our behavior

00:09:00.020 this time?

00:09:01.100 Is this the moment

00:09:02.440 that maybe we should

00:09:03.520 make a decision

00:09:04.240 that results in us

00:09:05.940 in a different place

00:09:07.220 other than that bar stool?

00:09:10.200 That's what the debt limit is.

00:09:13.320 If the debt limit

00:09:14.640 is just a number

00:09:16.020 that we bump into

00:09:16.940 and then all agree

00:09:17.860 to pass it again,

00:09:19.040 we're just drunks.

00:09:21.280 We are a country 0.86

00:09:23.520 of drunks. 0.87

00:09:26.480 Drunks that go back 0.99

00:09:28.080 to the bar

00:09:28.840 and do another round

00:09:31.700 after another round

00:09:33.180 after another round

00:09:34.480 and then regret it

00:09:35.520 in the morning

00:09:36.080 but push through it

00:09:38.020 because that's just

00:09:40.800 the way life is.

00:09:42.460 And guess what happens?

00:09:44.120 Eventually,

00:09:45.040 major organs

00:09:47.060 that you need

00:09:47.880 stop playing along.

00:09:49.220 that's where

00:09:52.280 this goes eventually.

00:09:54.400 Eventually,

00:09:54.840 you get to a place

00:09:55.900 where organs

00:09:57.500 shut down

00:09:58.340 and someone's 0.98

00:10:00.360 writing your obituary

00:10:01.420 and that's not

00:10:02.260 a fun place to be.

00:10:03.600 And it's funny

00:10:04.060 because it doesn't

00:10:04.680 even happen

00:10:05.240 like that typically.

00:10:06.180 It's not like

00:10:06.700 you go out one night,

00:10:07.680 you have too many drinks,

00:10:08.840 you have a hangover

00:10:09.600 and then you drop,

00:10:10.860 you fall over.

00:10:11.920 Sometimes that does happen

00:10:12.940 and it does.

00:10:14.620 Sometimes really bad

00:10:16.060 outcomes

00:10:17.740 will result

00:10:19.080 from that behavior.

00:10:20.680 But usually what happens

00:10:21.880 is you have warnings.

00:10:23.980 Usually what happens

00:10:24.920 is you go to the doctors

00:10:26.340 and they say,

00:10:26.820 how much are you drinking?

00:10:28.500 Usually what happens

00:10:29.440 is that that hangover

00:10:30.600 costs you

00:10:31.180 maybe a job one day.

00:10:33.020 Maybe your personal life

00:10:34.280 starts falling apart.

00:10:36.000 Maybe you have a test

00:10:38.700 that comes back

00:10:39.360 with really weird numbers

00:10:40.380 that you don't understand

00:10:41.160 and you realize

00:10:41.820 you're in a bad

00:10:42.760 physical path.

00:10:43.640 That's where we are

00:10:44.600 in this country.

00:10:45.260 What do you think

00:10:45.920 this period

00:10:47.580 of the last couple of years

00:10:48.700 when it comes to inflation,

00:10:51.380 what do you think that was?

00:10:53.620 That was,

00:10:54.620 I've got this weird pain

00:10:55.900 in my side

00:10:56.480 and I'm not sure

00:10:57.080 what it is.

00:10:57.580 Maybe I go to the doctors

00:10:58.500 and the doctor says,

00:10:59.320 hey, I think you've been

00:11:00.040 drinking too much, buddy.

00:11:03.520 That's what this

00:11:04.360 inflationary period was.

00:11:06.340 It was the body

00:11:07.980 of our country,

00:11:08.920 our economy,

00:11:10.020 saying,

00:11:10.480 guys,

00:11:11.340 you've gone too far here.

00:11:13.220 You guys are drunk.

00:11:14.440 You're drunk every night.

00:11:17.040 And you better come up

00:11:18.160 with a way

00:11:18.520 to solve this problem

00:11:19.740 or

00:11:21.540 eventually

00:11:23.580 down the road somewhere,

00:11:25.640 we don't know

00:11:26.300 if it's six months away,

00:11:27.600 six years away,

00:11:28.640 30 years away,

00:11:30.100 but sometime

00:11:30.860 in the somewhat near future,

00:11:33.840 organs fail

00:11:35.080 and you collapse.

00:11:36.520 And that's what

00:11:40.960 the debt limit

00:11:41.420 is supposed to do

00:11:42.140 to give us

00:11:42.800 that reminder

00:11:43.640 that, hey,

00:11:45.400 if you guys

00:11:46.060 don't change

00:11:47.020 your behavior,

00:11:47.780 this whole thing

00:11:49.480 is going to fall apart.

00:11:53.260 And the media

00:11:53.940 is looking at this

00:11:54.520 and just saying,

00:11:55.120 hey,

00:11:55.300 why don't you guys

00:11:56.020 just sign on?

00:11:57.760 Why don't Republicans

00:11:58.780 just go along

00:11:59.760 with this?

00:12:00.520 Why doesn't everyone

00:12:01.440 just work together

00:12:02.540 to continue

00:12:03.400 our behavior?

00:12:04.720 We need the person,

00:12:06.440 we need Uber 0.97

00:12:07.060 to come in

00:12:07.640 to get the guy

00:12:08.400 to the bar.

00:12:09.100 We need the bartender 0.98

00:12:10.080 to,

00:12:10.620 even though he kind of

00:12:11.340 realizes this guy's

00:12:12.220 a regular,

00:12:12.700 he drinks too much,

00:12:13.340 has a real problem,

00:12:14.080 let's serve him again

00:12:14.780 the next day.

00:12:15.700 We need the spouse 0.96

00:12:16.880 to kind of look

00:12:17.460 the other way.

00:12:17.980 Everyone kind of

00:12:18.440 has to look

00:12:18.980 the other way

00:12:19.700 while this country

00:12:21.020 continues down

00:12:21.940 this road of alcoholism

00:12:23.240 when it comes to debt.

00:12:24.960 And the debt limit

00:12:28.960 is there

00:12:29.540 as our,

00:12:30.640 really our one

00:12:31.780 opportunity

00:12:32.520 to be able

00:12:34.020 to do something

00:12:34.780 about this problem.

00:12:37.020 Are we going

00:12:37.880 to do something

00:12:38.440 about it?

00:12:39.860 McCarthy is going

00:12:40.940 to the White House

00:12:42.080 today

00:12:42.420 and the back and forth

00:12:44.280 has been fascinating.

00:12:46.460 First of all,

00:12:47.860 the Democrats

00:12:48.400 and the media

00:12:49.180 in unison

00:12:50.500 as usual

00:12:51.560 in lockstep

00:12:53.340 saying the exact

00:12:54.820 same things

00:12:55.580 as if they're

00:12:56.140 on the same

00:12:56.700 group text

00:12:57.900 saying basically

00:13:00.380 the Republicans

00:13:02.000 are irresponsible here. 0.99

00:13:05.040 They are causing

00:13:06.340 this problem.

00:13:07.260 They should just

00:13:07.760 go along with this

00:13:08.760 and continue

00:13:09.840 voting for the debt ceiling

00:13:11.300 because we've all

00:13:11.960 done it before.

00:13:12.740 We've all worked

00:13:13.420 together before.

00:13:14.480 Let's continue

00:13:15.300 to raise the debt ceiling

00:13:16.300 with no changes

00:13:17.180 whatsoever.

00:13:18.980 And Kevin McCarthy

00:13:19.660 who by the way,

00:13:20.800 you know,

00:13:21.000 look,

00:13:21.200 we have lots of

00:13:21.820 complaints about

00:13:22.420 Kevin McCarthy.

00:13:23.260 We have complaints

00:13:23.980 about the way

00:13:24.440 the Republicans

00:13:25.020 performed in this

00:13:26.460 previous election

00:13:27.240 should have been

00:13:27.740 a bigger win.

00:13:29.260 But it is important

00:13:30.300 to note that

00:13:30.960 the House

00:13:32.080 is under

00:13:32.840 Republican control.

00:13:34.220 The people

00:13:34.980 of the United States

00:13:35.680 of America,

00:13:36.660 not exactly

00:13:37.660 in overwhelming numbers,

00:13:38.640 but came to the polls

00:13:39.480 and said,

00:13:40.380 we want Republicans

00:13:41.680 in charge.

00:13:42.380 We want them

00:13:42.960 to be able

00:13:43.520 to push back

00:13:44.220 a little bit

00:13:44.680 on the Biden

00:13:45.940 administration

00:13:46.460 and what they're doing.

00:13:47.660 I think we've all

00:13:48.340 internalized

00:13:49.080 this massive loss

00:13:50.160 from that election

00:13:50.900 and that's not

00:13:51.620 entirely insane

00:13:53.200 to do so.

00:13:54.000 But it is also

00:13:55.000 not reality.

00:13:56.380 The reality

00:13:57.160 of the situation

00:13:57.840 is the Republicans

00:14:01.960 won the House

00:14:02.900 and what can they

00:14:04.540 do with that power?

00:14:07.220 They can sit back

00:14:08.140 and do nothing.

00:14:08.800 They can complain

00:14:09.380 about stuff,

00:14:10.020 of course,

00:14:10.400 and they'll do

00:14:10.860 a lot of that.

00:14:12.480 But they can also,

00:14:14.180 number one,

00:14:14.780 do investigations

00:14:15.560 like,

00:14:16.620 for example,

00:14:17.100 on the origins

00:14:17.960 of COVID-19,

00:14:19.420 on where all

00:14:20.780 of our spending

00:14:21.600 went over the

00:14:23.080 past few years

00:14:23.840 when it comes

00:14:25.080 to COVID,

00:14:25.980 five,

00:14:26.520 six trillion dollars.

00:14:27.660 How much of that

00:14:28.320 was wasted?

00:14:28.900 They can do

00:14:29.340 investigations like that

00:14:30.720 and then they can

00:14:33.180 do stuff like this.

00:14:35.480 They can sit back

00:14:36.560 and say,

00:14:37.080 hey,

00:14:37.760 we need to make

00:14:39.980 some changes.

00:14:40.720 We need to change

00:14:41.640 our lives.

00:14:42.260 We've been in the bar

00:14:43.140 too long.

00:14:44.720 We need to change.

00:14:47.360 We need to do

00:14:48.440 something to make

00:14:49.300 sure our country

00:14:50.220 changes the path

00:14:51.980 we're on

00:14:52.500 because the path

00:14:53.600 we're on is

00:14:54.340 destructive.

00:14:56.220 It's personally

00:14:57.180 destructive behavior.

00:15:01.360 And we need

00:15:02.720 to change that.

00:15:03.840 We need to do

00:15:04.360 something about it.

00:15:08.080 So,

00:15:08.980 Kevin McCarthy

00:15:10.080 says,

00:15:10.440 look,

00:15:10.660 we want to

00:15:11.020 negotiate.

00:15:11.380 We want to

00:15:13.340 change some

00:15:13.820 stuff.

00:15:14.500 Let's do

00:15:15.180 something here

00:15:15.900 that will make

00:15:16.640 the future

00:15:17.400 spending of

00:15:17.900 this country

00:15:18.260 a little bit

00:15:18.720 better.

00:15:19.000 Maybe some

00:15:19.360 limits here

00:15:19.900 and there.

00:15:20.720 Maybe some

00:15:21.160 spending cuts.

00:15:22.380 Maybe just

00:15:22.760 some cuts

00:15:23.220 in the spending

00:15:23.920 increases.

00:15:24.700 Something.

00:15:25.340 Something to

00:15:25.940 tell the

00:15:26.320 American people

00:15:26.900 that we're

00:15:27.500 addressing this

00:15:28.080 problem.

00:15:28.680 Something to

00:15:29.380 say,

00:15:30.520 hey,

00:15:31.340 you know what,

00:15:31.700 we're going

00:15:31.880 to show up

00:15:32.180 to work

00:15:32.440 tomorrow after

00:15:32.940 the all-night

00:15:34.060 bender.

00:15:34.880 We might not

00:15:35.360 be getting

00:15:35.740 sober.

00:15:36.680 No one's 0.64

00:15:37.040 even suggesting

00:15:39.040 sobriety here.

00:15:40.560 We don't even

00:15:41.060 have a party

00:15:41.560 that suggests

00:15:42.340 sobriety anymore.

00:15:43.400 All we're

00:15:43.840 doing is

00:15:44.260 saying maybe

00:15:44.780 don't take

00:15:45.380 the last

00:15:46.200 fireball shot

00:15:48.840 before we walk

00:15:49.900 out the front

00:15:50.460 door of the

00:15:50.820 bar.

00:15:51.080 That's all

00:15:51.860 we're trying

00:15:52.800 to get here.

00:15:54.840 And McCarthy

00:15:55.500 says,

00:15:55.920 look,

00:15:56.140 I want

00:15:56.880 to be able

00:15:58.600 to negotiate

00:15:59.540 this.

00:16:00.060 Let's come

00:16:00.520 together and

00:16:01.460 find a couple

00:16:02.000 things that we

00:16:02.540 can agree on. 0.97

00:16:03.340 What's ridiculous? 0.98

00:16:04.540 I'll give you 0.98

00:16:04.880 an example.

00:16:06.400 COVID-19

00:16:06.940 spending.

00:16:07.320 There's a

00:16:08.800 bunch of

00:16:09.280 extra money

00:16:11.200 out there.

00:16:12.620 Extra

00:16:13.100 spending.

00:16:14.940 Extra

00:16:15.400 COVID-19

00:16:16.440 money.

00:16:18.720 Money that

00:16:19.380 was designated

00:16:20.100 for testing

00:16:21.100 or whatever

00:16:22.060 else.

00:16:23.420 Some of the

00:16:23.880 stuff not even

00:16:24.300 related to

00:16:24.960 COVID.

00:16:25.900 But it's just

00:16:26.280 in this big

00:16:26.800 pile that

00:16:27.440 states are

00:16:27.940 just figuring

00:16:28.720 out what to

00:16:29.520 do with now.

00:16:30.460 They're like,

00:16:30.820 well, let's

00:16:31.220 try stuff.

00:16:31.860 Rhode Island,

00:16:32.480 you know what

00:16:32.700 they're doing

00:16:33.000 with it?

00:16:33.440 They have

00:16:33.740 10 million

00:16:34.140 extra dollars

00:16:34.740 for COVID.

00:16:35.880 You know

00:16:36.220 what they're

00:16:36.380 doing?

00:16:37.400 Reparations.

00:16:39.480 Slavery

00:16:39.920 reparations.

00:16:41.160 They've

00:16:41.600 decided to

00:16:42.100 take COVID-19

00:16:43.160 money and

00:16:44.560 turn it into

00:16:45.120 slavery

00:16:45.700 reparations.

00:16:49.320 That's where

00:16:49.880 we are in

00:16:50.320 this country

00:16:50.700 right now.

00:16:52.800 So we have

00:16:53.460 one side

00:16:53.900 saying let's

00:16:54.380 negotiate.

00:16:55.340 We have

00:16:55.860 one side

00:16:56.360 saying we're

00:16:57.100 not going

00:16:57.420 to negotiate.

00:16:58.080 You should

00:16:58.340 just go

00:16:58.800 along with

00:16:59.360 our current

00:16:59.720 path.

00:17:00.360 And then we

00:17:00.980 have the

00:17:01.280 media.

00:17:01.920 We'll get

00:17:02.420 into what

00:17:02.800 the media

00:18:18.380 So,

00:18:19.220 we're looking at

00:18:20.460 the debt ceiling

00:18:21.280 situation,

00:18:21.860 McCarthy going

00:18:22.380 to the White 0.57

00:18:22.760 House today,

00:18:23.380 God only knows

00:18:23.940 if Biden's

00:18:24.380 going to even

00:18:24.720 remain awake

00:18:25.680 for this meeting,

00:18:26.280 who knows.

00:18:27.720 But,

00:18:28.380 that's not even

00:18:29.460 what's important

00:18:30.000 here.

00:18:31.640 As you're

00:18:32.140 looking at

00:18:32.420 what the

00:18:32.760 media is

00:18:33.420 doing,

00:18:34.020 it's fascinating

00:18:34.800 because they're

00:18:35.560 saying,

00:18:36.160 number one,

00:18:36.900 Republicans should

00:18:37.460 just get on

00:18:37.900 board.

00:18:38.140 They should

00:18:38.320 just vote

00:18:38.740 for these

00:18:39.120 spending increases.

00:18:40.220 They should

00:18:40.760 vote to go

00:18:41.280 past the

00:18:41.700 debt ceiling.

00:18:42.040 Just raise

00:18:42.500 it.

00:18:42.820 What's the

00:18:43.160 big deal?

00:18:43.700 Just raise

00:18:44.200 the debt

00:18:44.520 ceiling.

00:18:45.140 We don't

00:18:45.360 want to

00:18:45.580 risk

00:18:45.740 catastrophe.

00:18:47.520 And why

00:18:47.880 are we

00:18:48.140 getting,

00:18:48.620 you're just

00:18:49.140 supposed to

00:18:49.540 go along

00:18:49.920 with this.

00:18:50.800 So,

00:18:51.120 therefore,

00:18:51.900 if you

00:18:52.840 don't,

00:18:53.260 you're just

00:18:53.520 playing

00:18:53.740 politics.

00:18:56.020 Now,

00:18:56.640 what we've

00:18:57.360 seen over

00:18:57.860 the past couple

00:18:58.460 of days is a

00:18:59.060 total switch.

00:19:00.100 Now,

00:19:01.220 the New York

00:19:02.060 Times,

00:19:02.800 the Washington

00:19:03.340 Post,

00:19:03.900 all these

00:19:04.340 big media

00:19:04.920 institutions

00:19:05.620 have just

00:19:06.100 started echoing,

00:19:06.980 of course,

00:19:07.520 yet again,

00:19:08.700 as if they're

00:19:09.240 on the

00:19:09.480 group text,

00:19:10.680 the same

00:19:11.700 thing the

00:19:12.060 White House

00:19:12.400 is saying,

00:19:12.800 which is now

00:19:13.380 they're trying

00:19:13.840 to demand

00:19:14.400 details from

00:19:16.000 McCarthy about

00:19:16.760 what they

00:19:17.180 want to

00:19:17.820 cut.

00:19:21.340 Now,

00:19:22.000 if you're

00:19:22.800 saying it's

00:19:23.400 okay,

00:19:24.040 if we're

00:19:24.500 going to

00:19:24.640 have

00:19:24.800 catastrophe,

00:19:25.480 if that's

00:19:25.780 what we

00:19:26.040 face,

00:19:26.460 why are

00:19:29.200 the

00:19:29.320 Republicans

00:19:29.800 the only

00:19:30.180 ones who

00:19:30.920 have to

00:19:31.100 do

00:19:31.260 anything?

00:19:32.340 The

00:19:32.560 Democrats

00:19:32.940 are saying

00:19:33.360 Joe Biden

00:19:34.380 is saying

00:19:34.680 he will

00:19:35.460 not

00:19:36.140 negotiate

00:19:36.900 over this.

00:19:37.820 It's the

00:19:38.420 most important

00:19:39.240 thing in

00:19:39.640 the world.

00:19:40.400 It's the

00:19:40.840 most important

00:19:41.540 thing any

00:19:41.900 of us

00:19:42.120 could ever

00:19:42.440 imagine.

00:19:42.960 It could

00:19:43.340 shut down

00:19:44.000 our entire

00:19:44.900 economy.

00:19:47.300 Also,

00:19:47.740 we won't

00:19:47.960 negotiate

00:19:48.340 about it

00:19:48.800 at all.

00:19:49.780 Also,

00:19:50.100 we won't

00:19:50.380 have

00:19:50.580 conversations

00:19:51.180 about it

00:19:51.660 at all.

00:19:52.720 Also,

00:19:53.280 we're

00:19:53.780 going to

00:19:54.260 completely

00:19:54.860 ignore

00:19:55.640 basic

00:19:56.700 requests

00:19:57.560 about how

00:19:58.640 we can

00:19:58.960 solve this

00:19:59.500 impasse.

00:20:01.740 And the

00:20:02.320 media is

00:20:02.740 carrying the

00:20:03.160 water for

00:20:03.560 this.

00:20:03.840 They came

00:20:04.180 out and

00:20:04.480 said,

00:20:04.940 well,

00:20:05.060 of course

00:20:05.400 he shouldn't

00:20:05.820 negotiate.

00:20:06.640 Of course

00:20:07.320 they shouldn't

00:20:07.840 do that.

00:20:08.400 This is

00:20:08.780 something that

00:20:09.200 the left

00:20:09.760 and the

00:20:09.980 right always

00:20:10.360 agree on.

00:20:12.240 And now

00:20:12.940 they're

00:20:13.320 changing

00:20:13.860 their tone

00:20:14.820 to say,

00:20:15.940 well,

00:20:16.100 they don't

00:20:16.800 even have

00:20:17.080 an idea

00:20:17.420 of what

00:20:17.840 they want.

00:20:18.880 Well,

00:20:19.180 how do

00:20:19.560 you know

00:20:20.140 if they

00:20:20.620 have an

00:20:20.880 idea about

00:20:21.820 what they

00:20:22.220 want unless

00:20:22.980 you'll talk

00:20:23.540 to them

00:20:23.800 about it?

00:20:25.860 The Biden

00:20:26.620 administration

00:20:27.080 is saying

00:20:27.500 they will

00:20:28.100 not negotiate

00:20:29.340 under any

00:20:29.960 circumstances,

00:20:30.560 but also,

00:20:31.320 can you

00:20:31.740 believe these

00:20:32.240 Republicans?

00:20:32.800 They don't

00:20:33.020 even have

00:20:33.420 a plan

00:20:33.780 about what

00:20:34.140 they want.

00:20:35.340 Well,

00:20:35.740 what's

00:20:36.020 your plan?

00:20:37.100 Your plan

00:20:37.660 is to

00:20:38.060 ignore

00:20:38.620 everything

00:20:39.100 they ask

00:20:39.660 for,

00:20:39.940 no matter

00:20:40.180 what it

00:20:40.580 is.

00:20:42.500 You've

00:20:43.020 said already

00:20:43.660 you will

00:20:44.260 not talk

00:20:44.900 to them

00:20:45.180 about this

00:20:45.600 stuff.

00:20:46.340 Now,

00:20:46.640 you can

00:20:46.880 see the

00:20:47.380 wall starting

00:20:48.020 to crumble

00:20:48.500 a little

00:20:48.960 bit here

00:20:49.420 as the

00:20:50.380 going on

00:20:51.520 today.

00:20:52.380 Maybe the

00:20:53.420 Democrats are

00:20:53.960 realizing they're

00:20:54.760 in a situation

00:20:55.460 where they do

00:20:55.920 need to talk.

00:20:58.480 But at the

00:20:59.100 end of this

00:20:59.500 road is,

00:21:00.840 in theory at

00:21:02.160 least,

00:21:02.480 real economic

00:21:03.420 trouble for

00:21:04.000 us.

00:21:05.180 And it's

00:21:05.860 silly to

00:21:07.060 believe that we 0.98

00:21:07.760 should go down

00:21:08.440 this road.

00:21:08.980 If you just

00:21:10.060 want to be able

00:21:10.720 to spend

00:21:11.100 whatever you

00:21:11.620 want to

00:21:11.960 spend,

00:21:12.900 then have 1.00

00:21:13.860 the balls 0.99

00:21:14.380 to step 1.00

00:21:15.020 up and say,

00:21:15.780 we want to

00:21:16.020 get rid of

00:21:16.460 the debt

00:21:16.740 limit

00:21:16.960 completely.

00:21:18.040 Run that

00:21:18.640 by voters.

00:21:19.200 See what

00:21:19.420 they say.

00:21:21.500 See how

00:21:22.080 that works

00:21:22.540 for you in

00:21:22.940 the next

00:21:23.200 election.

00:21:23.700 Give it

00:21:23.900 a shot.

00:21:25.740 Just say

00:21:26.400 you don't

00:21:26.820 want it

00:21:27.160 anymore.

00:21:29.080 The left

00:21:29.720 won't do

00:21:30.180 that because

00:21:30.660 they know

00:21:31.320 how that

00:21:31.800 sounds to

00:21:32.560 the American

00:21:33.000 people.

00:21:33.640 We don't

00:21:34.200 want any

00:21:34.980 credit limit.

00:21:36.640 How would

00:21:36.960 that sound

00:21:37.280 to American

00:21:37.720 Express or

00:21:38.380 Visa if you

00:21:39.320 asked for

00:21:39.780 it?

00:21:40.360 You know

00:21:40.640 what?

00:21:41.300 And I

00:21:41.500 know American

00:21:41.900 Express

00:21:42.120 has no

00:21:42.520 preset

00:21:42.920 spending

00:21:43.280 limit.

00:21:43.860 Presets

00:21:44.220 pretty

00:21:44.500 important

00:21:44.940 there,

00:21:45.520 boys and

00:21:46.020 girls, 0.91

00:21:46.260 in case you've

00:21:46.600 decided to

00:21:46.960 buy a

00:21:47.780 Bugatti on

00:21:48.420 your Amex.

00:21:50.840 But the

00:21:51.380 bottom line

00:21:51.780 is everybody's

00:21:52.400 got a

00:21:52.660 credit limit

00:21:53.160 and if you

00:21:54.740 want to

00:21:54.980 extend that

00:21:55.480 credit limit

00:21:55.900 you need

00:21:56.300 to ask.

00:21:57.820 And it's

00:21:58.420 okay for a

00:21:59.160 credit card

00:21:59.520 company to

00:21:59.980 say to

00:22:00.240 you,

00:22:00.480 well look,

00:22:01.120 do you

00:22:01.320 have a

00:22:01.860 job?

00:22:03.220 Because I

00:22:03.940 don't really

00:22:04.480 want to

00:22:04.760 raise this

00:22:05.200 credit limit

00:22:05.780 if you

00:22:06.480 have absolutely

00:22:07.300 no chance

00:22:08.360 to pay

00:22:08.980 this money

00:22:09.480 back.

00:22:11.100 That's where

00:22:11.700 we are

00:22:12.080 today between

00:22:13.520 two parties,

00:22:15.400 one of which

00:22:15.860 is asking

00:22:16.360 for pretty

00:22:17.200 reasonable

00:22:17.640 cuts.

00:22:18.140 The other,

00:22:19.740 I think he

00:22:20.940 thinks he's

00:22:21.620 having a

00:22:21.960 pancake

00:22:22.320 breakfast.

00:22:22.880 I don't

00:22:23.020 even know

00:22:23.300 what he's

00:22:23.620 doing.

00:22:24.140 He'll likely

00:22:24.520 fall asleep

00:22:25.200 in his

00:22:25.940 sausage and

00:22:26.820 wake up with

00:22:27.380 syrup all over

00:22:28.120 his face.

00:22:28.580 We'll see how

00:22:29.040 that works out

00:22:29.580 today between

00:22:30.360 Biden and

00:22:30.900 McCarthy.

00:22:31.400 It's the

00:22:31.560 Glenn Beck

00:22:31.780 program.

00:22:32.400 888-727-BECK

00:22:33.760 is the phone

00:22:34.320 number.

00:22:35.280 We're in

00:22:35.980 snowy Texas,

00:22:37.300 which apparently

00:22:37.780 exists like once

00:22:38.960 a year.

00:22:39.880 We'll be back

00:22:40.640 with more here in

00:22:41.400 just a minute.

00:22:41.860 The Glenn Beck

00:22:42.960 program.

00:22:44.640 American

00:22:46.100 182334

00:22:47.160 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org

00:22:50.860 Let's say you

00:22:51.560 have a credit

00:22:52.000 card and your

00:22:52.520 balance is $10,000.

00:22:54.420 If you only make

00:22:55.580 the minimum

00:22:56.000 payment amount,

00:22:56.920 how long do you

00:22:57.540 think it'll take

00:22:58.040 to pay that off?

00:22:59.240 The answer,

00:23:00.280 unfortunately,

00:23:01.080 is eight and a

00:23:02.200 half years.

00:23:03.320 And that's crazy

00:23:04.060 because by the

00:23:04.720 time you pay it

00:23:05.400 off, you'll have

00:23:05.920 paid so much

00:23:07.000 in compounding

00:23:08.400 interest.

00:23:09.580 You can't let

00:23:10.240 something like that

00:23:11.000 happen, especially

00:24:04.200 Welcome back to the

00:24:13.860 Glenn Beck program.

00:24:14.580 It's Stu.

00:24:16.160 Having flashbacks to,

00:24:17.740 I don't know,

00:24:18.260 March and April

00:24:19.100 2020.

00:24:20.380 No one's out in the

00:24:21.280 street.

00:24:21.760 No one can do

00:24:22.320 anything here in

00:24:22.940 Texas.

00:24:23.420 There's frozen water

00:24:24.400 on the ground and

00:24:25.400 that means everything

00:24:26.120 shuts down.

00:24:27.120 So we're having all

00:24:28.120 sorts of technical

00:24:29.020 difficulties.

00:24:29.620 No one can get in

00:24:30.220 and out of their

00:24:30.600 homes at this point.

00:24:32.200 I mean,

00:24:32.480 you can,

00:24:33.060 I guess.

00:24:33.680 I mean,

00:24:34.020 I just,

00:24:34.540 I keep looking

00:24:35.040 outside and I think

00:24:35.720 to myself, 0.99

00:24:36.160 this is pathetic. 0.97

00:24:37.000 I used to live in 0.99

00:24:37.500 the Northeast.

00:24:38.180 I grew up in

00:24:38.640 Connecticut in New

00:24:39.300 York.

00:24:39.880 What is this?

00:24:40.880 What do you mean

00:24:41.400 we can't?

00:24:42.360 I don't even

00:24:42.720 understand it,

00:24:43.480 frankly.

00:24:44.120 But this is what

00:24:45.800 we have here in

00:24:47.340 Texas.

00:24:47.660 We don't have

00:24:48.040 salt trucks.

00:24:48.580 We don't have

00:24:48.880 sand trucks.

00:24:49.580 We've got nothing.

00:24:50.200 We have no plows.

00:24:51.020 We have nothing.

00:24:51.640 So when this

00:24:52.160 happens, we just

00:24:53.620 turn into April

00:24:54.820 2020.

00:24:55.640 We turn into six

00:24:56.760 weeks to stop the

00:24:57.600 spread and we all

00:24:58.660 just stay home and

00:24:59.940 look outside and

00:25:00.900 think about what

00:25:01.700 life could be.

00:25:03.120 And that's what

00:25:03.480 we're doing right

00:25:04.020 now.

00:25:04.640 Glenn's going to be

00:25:05.040 joining us here and

00:25:05.620 there with his

00:25:06.900 technical situation at

00:25:08.400 his home.

00:25:09.480 I mean, look,

00:25:09.960 the guy, you know,

00:25:11.860 pray for his

00:25:12.460 financial situation.

00:25:13.300 He just said he

00:25:13.640 doesn't have enough

00:25:14.020 money to get good

00:25:14.540 internet.

00:25:15.120 You know, he's on

00:25:15.580 dial-up.

00:25:16.340 The poor guy.

00:25:17.160 He's on net zero.

00:25:18.260 He's got net zero

00:25:19.100 internet at his home.

00:25:20.360 And he's trying to do

00:25:22.480 a national radio show

00:25:23.460 on net zero, which

00:25:24.640 went out of business,

00:25:25.300 I think, 12 years ago.

00:25:26.260 So it's difficult for

00:25:27.100 him to get online.

00:25:28.660 He's got 2,600 baud

00:25:30.140 modem and he's trying

00:25:32.840 the best that he can,

00:25:33.980 but it might be a

00:25:34.920 problem for him.

00:25:35.840 So we're going to be,

00:25:36.620 I'll be with you.

00:25:37.300 I've taken you through

00:25:37.700 everything today.

00:25:39.380 And one of the

00:25:40.360 situations I was

00:25:41.060 thinking about as I

00:25:41.760 was going through the

00:25:43.040 debt ceiling conversation

00:25:44.220 and thinking about how

00:25:47.140 this always plays out

00:25:48.140 the same way.

00:25:50.500 No matter what happens

00:25:51.680 here, we're not going

00:25:52.340 to be happy with it.

00:25:53.520 Certainly, if Democrats

00:25:54.800 have to sign off on it,

00:25:55.820 it's not going to be

00:25:56.460 our utopia.

00:25:59.340 And we don't know how

00:26:01.320 the Republicans will

00:26:02.480 hold the line on this.

00:26:03.480 Will they actually

00:26:04.200 utilize this moment to

00:26:05.560 get meaningful concessions

00:26:07.080 or will this be like

00:26:07.900 every other time?

00:26:08.920 Where, I mean, maybe I

00:26:10.120 guess in the Tea Party

00:26:10.780 era, you can argue

00:26:11.700 there was the one time

00:26:13.440 where Republicans really

00:26:15.360 held the line on this

00:26:16.720 and got some meaningful

00:26:17.520 spending cuts, which

00:26:18.440 largely did materialize

00:26:20.200 for a few years.

00:26:21.140 It's one of the reasons

00:26:21.860 why Obama's financial

00:26:24.400 records from his

00:26:26.100 administration don't

00:26:27.260 look as terrible as

00:26:28.460 they could have.

00:26:29.220 It's because Republicans

00:26:30.740 held the line pretty

00:26:31.980 strongly on spending.

00:26:34.560 So, they did not give

00:26:37.240 Obama the sort of

00:26:38.500 leeway that most

00:26:40.260 Democratic presidents

00:26:41.120 get.

00:26:42.420 And that was one of the,

00:26:43.580 you know, successes you

00:26:44.500 can point to pretty

00:26:45.260 clearly through the Tea

00:26:46.780 Party era.

00:26:47.300 But one thing that we

00:26:49.720 will do is we will look

00:26:51.060 at Republicans that are

00:26:52.400 already in office and we

00:26:54.300 will say we need to

00:26:55.380 improve those Republicans.

00:26:58.240 We need to say these

00:27:00.380 guys aren't doing the

00:27:01.860 job that we want them

00:27:02.660 to do.

00:27:03.100 They're not holding the

00:27:04.260 line on the fiscal

00:27:05.240 issues or anything else

00:27:06.200 and we need to do

00:27:07.140 better.

00:27:07.900 And we complain about

00:27:08.620 this all the time and

00:27:09.380 typically what we do is

00:27:10.340 we will primary a bunch

00:27:12.200 of Republicans and then

00:27:14.180 get what I think could

00:27:16.040 fairly be summarized as

00:27:18.080 mixed results.

00:27:20.500 Sometimes we hit home

00:27:21.920 runs.

00:27:22.420 You know, Mike Lee came

00:27:23.320 out of this process.

00:27:24.160 Ted Cruz came out of

00:27:24.980 this process.

00:27:25.720 Rand Paul came out of

00:27:27.120 this process.

00:27:28.340 At least in one

00:27:29.720 variation of it or

00:27:31.040 another.

00:27:31.980 Where you get really

00:27:33.000 good senators that come

00:27:34.020 in and generally

00:27:34.860 speaking do a really

00:27:35.760 good job.

00:27:37.640 And you're happy with

00:27:38.660 them for years and

00:27:39.300 years and years to come.

00:27:40.580 And then there's the

00:27:41.100 other side of this.

00:27:42.160 Where you come up with

00:27:43.200 a candidate that maybe

00:27:44.220 isn't so strong.

00:27:45.160 Or you come up with a

00:27:46.180 candidate who's a big

00:27:47.960 letdown.

00:27:48.820 Or you come up with a

00:27:49.580 candidate that wins the

00:27:50.620 primary and then loses the

00:27:52.020 general.

00:27:52.560 Nobody wants that.

00:27:54.660 I feel like we've tried

00:27:55.920 this over and over again

00:27:56.940 and we keep coming back to

00:27:57.940 these same hurdles.

00:28:00.180 Hurdles that look like,

00:28:01.620 you know,

00:28:02.800 catastrophe.

00:28:04.360 Frankly.

00:28:05.660 It means instead of

00:28:06.440 having a pretty bad

00:28:08.400 Republican, you wind up

00:28:09.800 with a really bad

00:28:11.140 Democrat.

00:28:11.620 Democrat.

00:28:12.900 And at some level that

00:28:14.380 might pay long-term

00:28:15.840 dividends where you get

00:28:16.720 someone who's been in the

00:28:18.040 seat forever out.

00:28:19.140 You got to deal with, you

00:28:20.260 know, six years of a

00:28:21.580 Democrat, which is

00:28:22.360 terrible.

00:28:22.700 But then, okay, at the

00:28:24.320 end of the day, maybe you

00:28:25.160 get a better candidate.

00:28:26.360 But I thought to myself,

00:28:28.140 why don't we think this out

00:28:30.440 a little bit this time?

00:28:31.600 Why don't we come up with a

00:28:32.640 system, a way of looking at

00:28:34.640 this, that can identify the

00:28:37.360 best candidates to target in

00:28:39.920 primaries?

00:28:41.820 Why wait until this all

00:28:44.760 plays out six months, a

00:28:47.100 year down the line, and

00:28:48.840 then we all realize, oh,

00:28:49.960 geez, this one's not doing,

00:28:51.180 this one's a great one, but

00:28:52.080 this one's not doing well

00:28:52.880 at all.

00:28:53.240 We should, we should, we

00:28:54.200 should have, we should have

00:28:55.120 come up with somebody else.

00:28:56.200 Why not think about this in

00:28:57.360 advance?

00:28:58.300 Why not think about this as

00:29:00.500 sort of a priority list?

00:29:03.260 Which candidates in the

00:29:05.200 Senate should be

00:29:07.060 primaried?

00:29:07.820 Because, look, we can all

00:29:09.660 complain about Susan

00:29:10.800 Collins, and I do, all the

00:29:12.660 time.

00:29:13.100 We can complain about Susan 0.98

00:29:14.360 Collins over and over and

00:29:15.240 over again, and I do. 0.97

00:29:16.380 She's terrible as a 0.87

00:29:17.580 Republican. 0.88

00:29:18.620 She is, at some level,

00:29:20.680 better than Chuck Schumer.

00:29:25.380 Now, you might say, not

00:29:26.540 enough.

00:29:27.140 She's not that much better.

00:29:28.560 And I, you know, look, I

00:29:29.780 would agree, not enough.

00:29:30.940 But certainly, she will vote

00:29:32.360 the right way on certain

00:29:34.280 things.

00:29:35.160 We've seen, you know, some

00:29:36.320 of these spending bills

00:29:37.080 blocked because 50 senators,

00:29:39.540 all of them held together to

00:29:41.520 block them.

00:29:42.920 You know, or, you know, with a

00:29:44.740 little bit of help from Joe

00:29:46.380 mentioned for a while, I guess,

00:29:47.720 until he flaked.

00:29:50.000 But having 52, 53, 54, 55

00:29:53.520 senators makes a big

00:29:54.480 difference.

00:29:55.160 And even if some of those

00:29:56.640 aren't so great, if you're in

00:29:58.660 a purple state, maybe you can

00:30:01.720 live with it.

00:30:02.200 If you're in a blue state,

00:30:04.820 maybe you can live with a

00:30:05.960 Susan Collins, or at least

00:30:07.860 tolerate a Susan Collins. 0.85

00:30:09.620 If you primary Susan Collins

00:30:11.200 and you come up with a really

00:30:12.080 good conservative, there's a

00:30:13.120 good chance that conservative

00:30:14.180 loses in the general.

00:30:15.580 So there's three questions you

00:30:16.780 really need to ask here.

00:30:18.740 Number one, which incumbent

00:30:21.000 senators running for a

00:30:22.540 re-election on the Republican

00:30:23.540 side are the least

00:30:24.940 conservative?

00:30:26.380 Identify those first.

00:30:28.380 That might be the only step

00:30:29.580 we've done in the past.

00:30:30.480 I think we should go beyond

00:30:32.540 that, though.

00:30:33.820 The second step is, if you

00:30:35.600 primary them, if you spend

00:30:37.200 resources and time and you get

00:30:39.900 activists working on the

00:30:41.600 conservative side, can you

00:30:43.820 actually win the primary?

00:30:45.620 Is this task you're taking on a

00:30:48.360 winnable task?

00:30:49.800 And we're just looking for the

00:30:50.980 low-hanging fruit here.

00:30:52.180 What's the easy stuff to do?

00:30:53.880 What are the improvements we can

00:30:55.220 make to the Republican caucus,

00:30:57.640 the Republican group, that can

00:31:00.240 make the country better, to fall

00:31:03.040 back to more of a conservative

00:31:04.880 constitutionalist mindset?

00:31:07.580 And how can we do that through

00:31:09.300 the most low-hanging fruit

00:31:10.740 possible?

00:31:12.620 So, if we primary them, can this

00:31:15.960 candidate actually win the

00:31:17.260 primary?

00:31:17.840 And if we find a good Republican

00:31:19.360 conservative candidate, can they

00:31:21.740 actually win the general if they

00:31:23.420 win that primary?

00:31:24.780 That's an important step.

00:31:26.380 You need to be able to look at

00:31:28.260 this and say, okay, this state is

00:31:29.620 a good target because we've got a

00:31:32.060 crappy senator there already on 0.94

00:31:33.900 the Republican side.

00:31:35.160 They're not all that popular in

00:31:36.900 their state among Republican

00:31:38.020 voters anyway.

00:31:39.240 And if we get a conservative

00:31:41.020 through that primary process, they

00:31:42.580 can actually win the general

00:31:43.680 election.

00:31:45.000 So, there are nine candidates that

00:31:48.300 are running for re-election on the

00:31:49.660 Republican side right now.

00:31:51.420 Nine.

00:31:52.820 Which ones are the best to take

00:31:54.640 out to go after in a primary

00:31:56.720 process that you could defeat them

00:31:58.300 and then win in the general

00:31:59.260 election afterward.

00:32:00.460 So, starting out with who's the

00:32:01.860 least conservative.

00:32:03.920 What I did here, I didn't want to

00:32:05.080 just say, okay, I think this

00:32:06.160 person's conservative.

00:32:06.900 I don't think this person is.

00:32:07.900 I went through and looked at all

00:32:09.260 the ratings agencies that kind of

00:32:10.960 do this type of thing.

00:32:12.220 Conservative review, which is, you

00:32:14.480 know, they're part of this.

00:32:16.240 They've been doing this for a very

00:32:17.500 long time.

00:32:18.500 They have a score.

00:32:20.400 They go after and say, how

00:32:21.320 conservative are you?

00:32:22.440 FreedomWorks does this.

00:32:23.740 American Conservative Union does

00:32:26.000 this.

00:32:26.160 Some others as well.

00:32:27.240 And looked at this and said, okay,

00:32:28.200 let's compile all these results

00:32:29.540 together.

00:32:30.180 Who is the most conservative?

00:32:31.480 Who's the least conservative?

00:32:32.640 The most conservative of the nine,

00:32:34.640 according to that list, is Ted Cruz.

00:32:37.020 Ted Cruz, of course, from Texas.

00:32:39.540 Next up, Marsha Blackburn.

00:32:41.840 Very conservative from Tennessee.

00:32:44.140 Next up, Rick Scott.

00:32:46.540 Third most conservative from Florida.

00:32:48.460 John Barrasso from Wyoming.

00:32:50.320 We're sort of in this category here

00:32:51.940 of like, these are people that, why

00:32:53.340 would you want to spend lots of

00:32:54.300 resources?

00:32:54.720 They're pretty much doing a good

00:32:55.740 job already.

00:32:56.920 You might have your quibbles with

00:32:58.040 them here or there, but they're

00:32:59.240 generally speaking pretty conservative

00:33:00.800 and should be our lowest priority

00:33:02.480 targets here.

00:33:03.800 Next up, Deb Fisher, middle of the

00:33:05.420 pack from Nebraska.

00:33:07.120 Josh Hawley from Missouri, whose

00:33:09.700 voting record, you know, he makes a

00:33:11.260 lot of splash in the media.

00:33:13.400 His voting record, not necessarily as

00:33:14.980 conservative as some might think.

00:33:16.580 Then, towards the most vulnerable here,

00:33:22.860 the ones that you would target because

00:33:24.120 you believe they're the least conservative

00:33:26.060 according to their voting records.

00:33:27.820 Third place, least conservative, Roger

00:33:30.700 Wicker from Mississippi.

00:33:33.540 Second place, Kevin Kramer from North

00:33:36.260 Dakota.

00:33:37.320 And the least conservative on the list by a

00:33:40.780 pretty significant margin.

00:33:42.840 Not all that close, boys and girls.

00:33:45.260 The least conservative on the list, Mitt

00:33:48.380 Romney from Utah.

00:33:51.740 Now, that's just part of what we're doing

00:33:54.260 here.

00:33:55.120 We need to next look at if we primary

00:33:57.140 them, can we win the primary?

00:33:58.820 And the way we looked at this is basically

00:34:00.940 what is the approval rating for these

00:34:03.980 senators among Republicans in the state?

00:34:07.840 The people who will be casting the votes in

00:34:09.580 these primaries.

00:34:10.240 If they're super popular in their state, it's

00:34:12.600 going to be hard to beat them.

00:34:14.420 So, where do these guys stand?

00:34:16.820 Now, just to give you a little bit of a

00:34:18.400 perspective, typically these approval

00:34:20.840 ratings will go between 60 and 80%.

00:34:23.460 Very infrequently do you have someone

00:34:26.740 who's legitimately unpopular among their

00:34:28.520 own party.

00:34:29.300 60% is pretty bad, 80% generally speaking

00:34:32.100 pretty good.

00:34:32.840 So here's the rundown of these nine

00:34:34.520 Republicans.

00:34:35.440 Best approval rating, John Barrasso, 79%.

00:34:38.340 Marsha Blackburn is at 78%.

00:34:41.320 Ted Cruz, 75%.

00:34:44.220 Kevin Cramer, 73%.

00:34:46.420 Rick Scott, 72%.

00:34:48.700 Josh Hawley, also 72% among Missouri

00:34:52.220 Republicans.

00:34:53.180 Deb Fischer, 66%.

00:34:55.080 We're getting into rough territory here.

00:34:56.820 You shouldn't be in the 60s on this

00:34:57.900 number.

00:34:58.160 This is your own party.

00:34:59.900 Roger Wicker, only 63% for Roger Wicker.

00:35:03.560 And I want to make sure you understand

00:35:04.840 this.

00:35:05.800 Most of the time, these numbers are

00:35:07.880 between 60 and 80%.

00:35:09.680 But who is the least popular among

00:35:12.460 their own voters in the state?

00:35:14.460 By an incredible margin.

00:35:16.100 This is not a misprint.

00:35:18.080 This is not a mistake.

00:35:19.100 I checked it multiple times.

00:35:20.880 Approval rating for Mitt Romney in Utah

00:35:23.020 among Republicans, 41%.

00:35:26.660 He's 22 points behind the entire rest of

00:35:31.880 the field.

00:35:32.400 Mitt Romney is very vulnerable to primary

00:35:36.500 in Utah.

00:35:38.940 And then the last question, if we win the

00:35:41.080 primary, can we win the general?

00:35:44.720 So, this is an interesting one.

00:35:47.380 What's the hardest one to win in?

00:35:52.000 And I would say these states are all very

00:35:53.580 winnable, to give you this list quickly.

00:35:56.020 But Rick Scott is the hardest in Florida.

00:35:57.960 And Florida is technically a purplish state,

00:36:01.100 though Ron DeSantis keeps making it look

00:36:03.260 very red recently.

00:36:04.840 Ted Cruz in Texas, again, is one of the

00:36:06.780 harder states to win in the general.

00:36:08.280 So, really, any of these candidates you

00:36:09.740 can get through, just to give you the list,

00:36:11.100 Rick Scott, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Roger

00:36:13.600 Wicker.

00:36:14.400 I mean, Mississippi is one of the hardest

00:36:16.880 states to win, if you can get someone

00:36:18.620 through this primary. 0.93

00:36:19.380 That's how ridiculous this list is. 0.89

00:36:21.000 Deb Fisher, Mitt Romney, Marsha Blackburn, 0.95

00:36:23.220 Kevin Kramer, and the easiest would be

00:36:24.880 John Barrasso.

00:36:25.480 But they're all easy.

00:36:26.280 These are all easy races to win if you get

00:36:28.640 a candidate through the primary into the

00:36:32.500 general.

00:36:33.060 So, we compiled this into a big formula,

00:36:36.000 ran the numbers a bunch of times,

00:36:37.480 and came up with the final list.

00:36:39.720 Who should we primary? 0.80

00:36:41.780 The least interesting to primary on this

00:36:44.840 list, number nine, Ted Cruz.

00:36:47.360 He's a conservative guy.

00:36:49.360 He's at Red State.

00:36:51.640 And he's already popular.

00:36:53.840 Very little reason to primary Ted Cruz

00:36:55.820 here.

00:36:56.300 If you don't like him, you can do this.

00:36:58.040 I mean, it's up to you.

00:36:58.980 If you want to support someone else, you

00:36:59.960 want to vote for someone else, there's no

00:37:00.880 problem with that.

00:37:01.440 You make your own decisions.

00:37:02.460 But just technically speaking, the least

00:37:05.200 benefit comes from primarying a Ted Cruz.

00:37:08.200 Next up, Rick Scott.

00:37:10.400 Number eight.

00:37:11.780 Seventh on the list, Marsha Blackburn.

00:37:13.600 This top third of the list, really solid.

00:37:16.380 There's no real reason to go after these

00:37:18.080 candidates.

00:37:18.900 I think you leave them there.

00:37:20.800 The middle of the list, I would

00:37:22.200 categorize as people, if you come up with a

00:37:24.600 perfect candidate, if you've got someone

00:37:26.120 unbelievably strong, there's no reason not

00:37:29.240 to do it.

00:37:30.100 And the main reason I would say that is

00:37:31.520 because you're going to win these races if you

00:37:33.480 get the conservative through the primary.

00:37:35.400 So if you want to primary them, you know, if you

00:37:37.180 have a good candidate in your state, go for it.

00:37:39.140 Josh Hawley's number six.

00:37:40.840 John Barrasso's number five.

00:37:42.560 Deb Fischer, number four.

00:37:44.740 That's the middle of the list.

00:37:46.540 Then you get to the people that, you know

00:37:47.920 what?

00:37:49.040 We can just do better.

00:37:50.480 We can frankly do better.

00:37:53.780 Number three.

00:37:54.820 Roger Wicker.

00:37:57.020 Is there any reason to have a mediocre to

00:37:59.080 bad voting record in a state like Mississippi?

00:38:02.260 Again, I can deal with it at some level in a

00:38:04.520 state like Maine.

00:38:06.460 I can deal with, you know, the days of Scott

00:38:08.900 Brown in Massachusetts.

00:38:10.180 Didn't make me happy all the time, but a

00:38:11.820 Republican in Massachusetts, you take what

00:38:13.460 you can get.

00:38:13.980 In Mississippi, the bright red Mississippi, we

00:38:19.560 have to deal with a mediocre voting record.

00:38:22.220 The same thing applies to Kevin Kramer in

00:38:25.040 North Dakota.

00:38:26.420 Why are we not getting a real, solid

00:38:29.660 constitutionalist in a state like North

00:38:32.420 Dakota?

00:38:33.000 We can do better in a state like North

00:38:36.180 Dakota.

00:38:36.940 You can see massive improvements in states

00:38:39.480 like this if you just find the right

00:38:40.880 candidate.

00:38:41.480 Doesn't have to be a perfect candidate in

00:38:42.860 these states because of the fact these guys

00:38:44.780 have voting records that are much worse than

00:38:46.620 the other candidates.

00:38:47.640 But I will say, and you might know, the

00:38:50.500 suspense may be killing you or you may know

00:38:53.900 exactly the name who tops our list.

00:38:56.300 And it wasn't even remotely close.

00:38:59.540 Utah is a bright red state.

00:39:02.820 Any Republican should be able to win there.

00:39:04.760 That is competent at all.

00:39:06.500 The Republicans or Democrats tried all sorts of

00:39:08.500 tricks in this past election to try to beat

00:39:10.060 Mike Lee, and they still got blown out.

00:39:12.360 There's no reason to not have a great

00:39:14.580 senator from Utah.

00:39:16.480 Mitt Romney, the number one target in the

00:39:18.560 2024 primaries from Stu here at Stu Does

00:39:21.400 America and the Glenn Beck program.

00:39:23.840 So I like to be what they call an ideas man.

00:39:28.660 And I got a good idea.

00:39:30.620 All of these leftists are embracing the cancel

00:39:33.380 culture.

00:39:33.880 So if you can't beat them, join them.

00:39:37.780 Today is your opportunity to cancel your left

00:39:41.440 leaning cell phone provider and make the switch 0.58

00:39:44.400 to America's conservative cell phone carrier.

00:39:47.660 It's Patriot Mobile.

00:39:49.040 They now offer service with all three major

00:39:51.640 networks, which means if you're with the big

00:39:54.200 three and you like their service, but you hate

00:39:56.120 their values, stop giving them the money.

00:39:58.580 You can access them without giving them all that

00:40:03.040 cash with Patriot Mobile.

00:40:05.240 Now, this comes with a performance guarantee.

00:40:07.220 If you're not happy with your coverage, you can

00:40:09.360 switch among the big three major carriers for free.

00:40:12.640 Patriot Mobile shares your values.

00:40:15.120 Your hard earned money should not go towards the

00:40:17.780 destruction of America.

00:40:19.820 Get great cell service right now.

00:40:47.220 Maybe we can bring in Pat Gray for a little bit here,

00:40:49.380 see what he's got going on as well today.

00:40:52.380 It's coming up here on the program.

00:40:53.960 You can get in line as well on the phones.

00:40:56.200 888-727-BECK and join BlazeTV.

00:41:03.320 Get Pat Gray on leash.

00:41:04.640 This program every day and Stu does America.

00:41:06.520 The Glenn Beck program.

00:41:07.440 Pat, are you there?

00:41:09.240 I'm here.

00:41:10.600 All right.

00:41:11.060 Are you there?

00:41:11.520 So I am here.

00:41:12.900 I'm right here.

00:41:13.700 Right here in Texas.

00:41:14.680 Good.

00:41:14.900 Unable to go apparently anywhere else.

00:41:18.720 Even down the street.

00:41:20.260 Totally off limits.

00:41:21.480 I know.

00:41:21.800 Right now.

00:41:22.000 All right.

00:41:25.040 We're going to join this program here back in a second

00:41:27.160 with Pat in seconds.

00:41:29.740 Thanks for listening to the Glenn Beck program.

00:41:31.040 We'll see you next time.

00:41:38.780 We'll be right back.

00:42:08.780 We'll be right back.

00:42:38.780 In the icy, wintry ski slope, Texas, where no one can get out on the roads today.

00:42:44.940 So we're doing our shows from home.

00:42:46.820 Glenn is having all sorts of tech problems.

00:42:48.380 He's going to join us potentially here at some point.

00:42:50.760 I wanted to bring in Pat Gray as well, so we can go through some of the issues of the day.

00:42:55.000 In fact, one of the issues that's, I think, pretty interesting is Trump starting to carve out a differentiating point here in the primaries.

00:43:04.560 How can he differentiate himself from his other rivals?

00:43:08.700 We'll look at the way he's trying to do that here coming up in 60 seconds.

00:43:12.340 So what is the value of $20?

00:43:18.000 How far is that going to get you these days?

00:43:20.420 Maybe not too far with a lot of things, but I can convince you it might change your life if you're one of the millions of Americans who live with frequent and debilitating pain.

00:43:29.420 Would it be worth it?

00:43:30.140 Because $20 will get you a trial pack of Relief Factor.

00:43:34.300 It's going to try to relieve your pain, and 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.

00:43:39.520 It has four key ingredients that work with your body to fight inflammation, which is the cause of most of our problems and pain in our body.

00:43:47.320 So try the three-week quick start.

00:43:49.140 $19.95.

00:43:49.980 It's a trial.

00:43:51.520 $19.95.

00:43:52.720 Try it for three weeks.

00:43:53.940 It's relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:43:58.140 Relieffactor.com.

00:44:00.660 Feel the difference.

00:44:05.260 Now, as part of your Blaze TV subscription, and of course, we also encourage you to subscribe to the podcast, not only Studos America, but also Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:44:15.200 Pat Gray joins us now.

00:44:17.160 Thanks for popping on here, Pat.

00:44:19.020 Yep.

00:44:19.640 Happy to be here.

00:44:21.320 There's nowhere else to go, nothing else to do.

00:44:23.340 So, you know, we might as well be on the air today.

00:44:26.740 I'm doing this from my home office and looking out our windows here, and my driveway is nothing but solid ice, and out further, the street is nothing but solid ice, covered by just a little skiff of snow so you can't see the solid ice.

00:44:42.680 So, things are going really well here in Texas right now.

00:44:46.000 It's really beautiful.

00:44:47.760 It is.

00:44:48.160 I don't think outsiders do understand what happens here with these ice storms.

00:44:55.420 I mean, it's not like a snowstorm.

00:44:57.780 It's really, really deadly when it does this.

00:45:01.980 It's true.

00:45:04.320 Even the day before this hit, we had some freezing on the roads, and you could feel it.

00:45:08.960 I mean, people were, there was accidents all over the place, and at some level, yes, as a Northeasterner, I would like to just blame terrible drivers in Texas, and I do understand that that is, it is probably part of it.

00:45:21.980 People are not used to driving in this stuff, and also not prepared.

00:45:25.120 I mean, my car is rear-wheel drive and is not equipped to go anywhere in this particular environment.

00:45:32.900 That's because, you know, 99.9% of the time, you don't have to deal with it.

00:45:36.740 So, the society just has come together and said, we are going to do nothing to prepare for this.

00:45:41.660 Yeah, so that's why we have four snow trucks and about, I don't know, one and a half salt trucks.

00:45:50.140 So, yeah, it's a mess.

00:45:53.280 But you mentioned Trump, and apparently he's tried to differentiate himself a little bit.

00:45:58.780 With his policy toward Ukraine, kind of interesting, everybody else disagrees with him.

00:46:04.040 All the other Republicans are like, no, that's not how you do it.

00:46:08.980 But he says he can solve the war within 24 hours.

00:46:15.640 I have my doubts, but he's very confident.

00:46:22.060 Very confident.

00:46:23.880 He made his last comments on Saturday in South Carolina.

00:46:29.640 He said, even now, despite tremendous loss of lives and destruction of much of that country,

00:46:35.620 I would have a peace deal negotiated within 24 hours.

00:46:41.100 You can make a peace deal.

00:46:42.480 You can do a deal for both right now.

00:46:44.840 24 hours.

00:46:46.220 So, 24 hours, and we're out of this thing.

00:46:49.180 That's tempting, isn't it?

00:46:52.120 It's tempting.

00:46:53.140 I mean, look, we all know that Trump, you know, makes grand statements.

00:46:57.280 And not always precise in the details in those statements.

00:47:03.300 But I will say, directionally, you kind of think that he would be the type of person who would be able to go in there and negotiate this.

00:47:10.280 I mean, he's had a relatively good relationship with both of these parties over the years.

00:47:18.740 Obviously, you know, it was one of the things that the left complained about, that he was having dealings with Zelensky that were too close and too tight.

00:47:27.060 That's why they tried to impeach him.

00:47:29.240 So, you know, I don't know.

00:47:30.520 Could he do this?

00:47:31.560 I don't know.

00:47:32.440 But I will say it's interesting that he's looking for this point to separate himself, like he did in the 2016 campaign when it came to Iraq.

00:47:40.240 You know, he was the only one out there saying we shouldn't have been in the Iraq war.

00:47:43.880 It was a disaster I knew from the beginning, blah, blah, blah.

00:47:46.720 And I don't know.

00:47:48.000 I mean, I think at the time that was a controversial stance among the Republican base.

00:47:52.360 But I don't think this in particular is a controversial stance.

00:47:57.220 I think the funding to Ukraine is one of those things that Republican voters have really tired of hearing about.

00:48:05.880 And they don't want to be involved in this.

00:48:07.880 They just see it as a nonstop quagmire and a way for us to be spending money for the next multiple decades.

00:48:13.100 I know I'm tired of spending $100 billion plus.

00:48:18.040 And every week, it seems, we add another several billion to it.

00:48:22.460 I mean, they just did that bill for, was it $50 or $60 billion?

00:48:26.160 And then a week later, they were doing another $2.5 billion.

00:48:30.640 Now, they put them on different ledger sheets because they're in different categories.

00:48:34.680 One is humanitarian aid.

00:48:36.020 One is military aid.

00:48:37.920 One is some other kind of aid.

00:48:39.420 But to me, it's all our money going somewhere else, money that we don't have to spend.

00:48:45.940 And we've been promised by our leadership that they're going to continue to do it indefinitely.

00:48:52.300 So it's a little bit frightening.

00:48:53.920 And it's nice, at least, to see somebody, in this case, Donald Trump, actually calling for, hey, let's put an end to it.

00:49:01.380 And nobody else seems to be doing that.

00:49:04.600 Yeah, you know, and Pat, it's funny because I spent the whole last hour talking about stuff like the debt ceiling and who to primary because our debt is so out of control.

00:49:14.300 And so, you know, I think you and I and Glenn and a few other people seem to be the only people on the right left who care about spending anymore.

00:49:22.680 Yeah.

00:49:23.240 But, like, even all that being said, as much as I care about spending, it's not even my top priority here when it comes to our involvement in this war.

00:49:31.880 I am much more concerned that the Biden-Harris administration is walking us closer and closer to direct conflict with Russia.

00:49:44.200 And I don't want any part of that.

00:49:47.040 I don't have any faith that this administration can walk this line successfully.

00:49:52.360 And even if you think, you know, hey, Ukraine, you know, is the victim of aggression here and we want to hold this line so that Russia doesn't roll into NATO and it gets worse. 0.62

00:50:01.860 The way we're doing this, saying things like we're going to outwardly do press conferences, bragging about how we're sending offensive weapons into this war to potentially and the goal being to kill Russian soldiers. 0.65

00:50:15.860 I know we wouldn't take that nicely if Russia was doing it to us.

00:50:19.660 And I expect they're not going to as well.

00:50:22.140 At some point, they're going to cross the line and say, look, we're just at war with America.

00:50:25.880 Let's admit it and let's start attacking them. 0.96

00:50:29.240 I could see that happening.

00:50:31.560 I mean, we're doing exactly what Biden said less than a year ago.

00:50:36.520 We would absolutely not do because it would lead to World War Three.

00:50:40.880 And he said that was offensive weapons like tanks.

00:50:44.540 Well, now we're sending him 31 A-1 Abrams tanks.

00:50:50.920 And that was exactly against what they were saying less than a year ago.

00:50:56.600 So, yeah, we're sending them offensive weapons now.

00:50:59.420 This is for a big offensive that they're going to try to drive the Russians back out of Ukraine. 0.99

00:51:05.820 And we'll see.

00:51:07.640 I mean, they're also begging us for F-16s, which I wouldn't be surprised if we caved in on that, too.

00:51:14.820 Yeah.

00:51:15.460 I mean, we said over and over again we wouldn't do that.

00:51:18.060 We said we would not do a no-fly zone.

00:51:19.980 We said we would not do tanks.

00:51:21.380 I believe the quote from Joe Biden was we would not give offensive weapons like tanks and planes and trains, which, again, I don't know of the offensive train weapon that we have.

00:51:32.460 If we do have that, first of all, it sounds really cool, but it does not seem to be the smartest weapon out there.

00:51:43.540 It's like you're putting your attack train on rails, and, like, they're going to know where it's going to go.

00:51:52.200 Like, this is just how trains work.

00:51:55.900 Oh, man.

00:51:56.600 He did say trains.

00:51:59.560 He is so bad. 1.00

00:52:01.360 He is so stupid. 1.00

00:52:05.520 So cognitively declined that he thinks a train is an offensive weapon. 1.00

00:52:13.540 I love that.

00:52:16.160 I don't know how that would work.

00:52:18.020 I mean, like, you'd know they'd know exactly where it was going in advance.

00:52:21.600 They'd see the tracks.

00:52:23.160 They could just, like, blow up the tracks.

00:52:25.240 It would stop it.

00:52:26.280 I mean, honestly, an offensive, like, bus would be more worthwhile than an offensive train.

00:52:33.460 An offensive motorcycle, an offensive big wheel would be better than an offensive train.

00:52:37.920 Yes.

00:52:38.520 Yes, it would, because you don't know where the big wheel is going until it gets there.

00:52:42.400 It might go slowly, but at least you don't know which way.

00:52:46.400 And, I mean, what is the offensive weaponry that you put on a train?

00:52:51.100 Because I've yet to see it.

00:52:53.340 No, I know.

00:52:54.320 It is a shocking discovery.

00:52:57.620 And I think he let go of some really important American intelligence that we've been developing train weapons.

00:53:02.960 And we didn't even know it.

00:53:05.840 Didn't know it.

00:53:06.520 Look, if we do have offensive trains, I actually support giving them to Ukraine, because what else are we going to do with them? 0.99

00:53:14.640 We shouldn't be making them.

00:53:16.460 If we have some leftovers, they can take them if they want them.

00:53:20.220 Because you can't help but notice, in America, our trains only lead to places that are still us.

00:53:26.960 So, I don't think we need them as offensive weapons.

00:53:33.100 I will say, if any administration was going to make train weapons, it would be this one.

00:53:37.380 He's always talking about being on the train.

00:53:38.960 The guy's like, he thinks he's the best friend with Mr. Amtrak, whoever that is.

00:53:43.060 Who's been dead for about 30 years or whatever.

00:53:46.640 So, yeah.

00:53:47.480 But he has traveled 2 million miles on the train.

00:53:50.060 So, he knows them.

00:53:51.120 He had keys to the trains, Pat.

00:53:52.960 He's the only president that had keys to the trains, pretty much.

00:53:55.960 Hung out with the engineers all the time. 0.99

00:53:57.620 What a weirdo. 0.64

00:53:58.700 All right. 0.94

00:53:58.880 I want to get into how this separates Trump from the rest of the field.

00:54:02.620 And Trump's newest tactic on COVID and the response there as it relates to DeSantis.

00:54:08.380 We'll get into that in a minute.

00:54:09.740 It's Stu and Pat Gray here in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:54:14.360 When your kids ask themselves, what is life all about?

00:54:18.940 What is the meaning of life?

00:54:21.000 Where are they getting their answers?

00:54:24.660 What guidelines have you put in their hands to make sure they have access to the right answers?

00:54:31.100 There is no short supply of wrong answers now.

00:54:35.120 We need help as parents.

00:54:39.560 And the Tuttle Twins are there with a great new book called The Tuttle Twins and the 12 Rules Boot Camp.

00:54:45.220 Which is modeled after Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life book.

00:54:49.060 It's a book for kids of all ages.

00:54:51.820 Tuttle Twins will teach them what they need to know.

00:54:54.800 Just as Jordan Peterson tells us, the meaning of life is bound up in personal responsibility.

00:55:01.120 And nobody's teaching that now.

00:55:02.980 Go to tuttletwinsbeck.com.

00:55:04.840 Get this book now.

00:55:05.680 It's free for the next few days.

00:55:07.200 So just pay for the shipping.

00:55:09.880 And that's it.

00:55:10.600 Go to tuttletwinsbeck.com.

00:55:13.560 I'm sorry, tuttletwinsbeck.com.

00:55:15.780 That's tuttletwinsbeck.com.

00:55:17.960 And while they last, get their new book.

00:55:20.440 Free.

00:55:22.680 10 seconds.

00:55:23.700 Station ID.

00:55:24.120 All right, it's Pat and Stu in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:55:38.860 We were talking about Donald Trump and his primary hopes here as he goes into 2024.

00:55:44.640 And one of the differentiating points he's made here is to say, I want this war over with.

00:55:50.300 I don't want to keep dumping money into it.

00:55:51.960 I want this thing over with and a bunch of the candidates that are rumored to be getting 0.99

00:55:56.180 into the race tend to be from the more hawkish side of the Republican spectrum.

00:56:01.380 You have people like John Bolton, who's basically saying he's in.

00:56:04.820 I don't think he moves on this issue whatsoever.

00:56:06.580 This is his branding.

00:56:08.260 He's the hawkish guy.

00:56:10.120 But you have people like Mike Pompeo, Mike Pence, and Nikki Haley, who I think Haley's

00:56:15.320 expected to get in in just a few weeks.

00:56:17.480 But all, again, I think would land on that same side of the hawkish leaning side.

00:56:23.260 And some of them will move.

00:56:24.260 Some of them won't.

00:56:25.540 But I do think that Trump's positioning here with Ukraine will probably move the field.

00:56:30.260 I think people will start chasing him and starting to act like they're the ones that

00:56:34.260 are most against funding this war.

00:56:35.940 The other potential people jumping in, there's a whole swath of them.

00:56:40.080 Ted Cruz, Kristi Noem, Rick Scott, Tim Scott, Glenn Youngkin, Ron DeSantis, of course.

00:56:47.220 None of them have endorsed this sort of negotiating position with Trump and Ukraine where he's

00:56:54.280 gone with this.

00:56:55.460 Pat, where do you think the base is on this?

00:56:58.820 And where do you think these candidates go?

00:57:00.060 I think a good portion of the base, really tired of the war and our participation in

00:57:08.640 it.

00:57:09.520 Like us, I think they fear that we're getting closer and closer to ground troops.

00:57:14.220 We're sending advisors.

00:57:16.120 We've got to teach them how to use these tanks.

00:57:18.520 That is something that we started doing in Vietnam, sending advisors and trainers and just a pre-war

00:57:30.520 group of people to help out.

00:57:34.800 And then all of a sudden, you're actually sending boots on the ground.

00:57:37.640 And that's the fear here.

00:57:39.720 And so I think the American people are tired of it.

00:57:43.240 We've just come from a 20-year war and then pulled out of it terribly, probably the worst

00:57:51.080 withdrawal in the history of war on this planet.

00:57:57.080 And we left behind $85 billion worth of weaponry.

00:58:01.900 I mean, I think we're sick of it.

00:58:04.480 I think we're tired of it.

00:58:05.900 And I don't know that anybody wants to continue or to continue to get us deeper enmeshed in

00:58:11.600 this mess.

00:58:13.240 Yeah, and I think you're totally right on your reading of the base.

00:58:16.700 I think that's where the voters are.

00:58:17.900 And again, that's how this primary gets decided.

00:58:20.000 So it is really important as to where they are.

00:58:22.340 When it comes to the other candidates in this race, you know, I remember back in 2015 and

00:58:29.320 2016, as we were going through that process, and Trump came out against the Iraq war.

00:58:35.000 He was one of the earliest people who might lean right that were against it.

00:58:38.660 And when he said it, it really broke a long string of even people who were skeptical of

00:58:45.820 the Iraq war.

00:58:46.460 They wouldn't come out and straight criticize it as bad from the beginning.

00:58:51.060 There would be some questions about the process.

00:58:53.320 There would be questions about how we were fighting the war.

00:58:55.640 But there weren't a lot of people on the right who were saying this was a massive mistake

00:58:59.060 from day one.

00:59:00.180 Trump came out and said that.

00:59:01.360 And I think not only moved the other candidates in the race, but also moved the base.

00:59:06.180 He almost gave them the okay to hate the Iraq war.

00:59:11.980 And I wonder if the same thing is happening here with Ukraine, where, you know, I think

00:59:18.220 a lot of people saw, you know, Russia invading this country.

00:59:21.240 And, you know, it's still relatively popular, the funding, generally speaking, among Republicans.

00:59:27.180 I think it's 56% support right now, even in December of just a month ago.

00:59:32.080 So there's still support there.

00:59:34.360 But I think when this primary really begins, Trump is out there talking against it.

00:59:40.800 These other candidates, a lot of them will get on board speaking against the way this

00:59:44.180 is being handled.

00:59:45.080 And I think that number is going to fall through the floor over the next six months to a year.

00:59:50.200 Yeah, I do too.

00:59:51.780 I agree.

00:59:53.080 But I'm not sure we were even in the same place in 2016 when Trump came along in 2015

01:00:01.840 and 16, when he came along and started saying that he was against the war from the very

01:00:07.280 beginning.

01:00:08.400 And, you know, there was some evidence against that.

01:00:10.580 But still, I think he did drag some people along.

01:00:14.300 But now, here we are seven years later.

01:00:18.740 And I think we're even further down that road.

01:00:21.760 So I think people have had it.

01:00:24.340 I think we want to use our military when we're attacked.

01:00:27.260 And short of that, maybe we stay out of it now.

01:00:32.080 Maybe we stop being the world's policemen.

01:00:34.760 And I think that's where a lot of people are or certainly will be by the time this election

01:00:40.960 comes around.

01:00:42.640 Yeah.

01:00:42.960 And, you know, thinking about the actual cost of this, you mentioned the hundred billion

01:00:47.740 dollars we've poured into this effort.

01:00:49.320 And, like, you could certainly make an argument that maybe some of the humanitarian stuff

01:00:53.380 is more defensible because we're not directly involved in a war, right?

01:00:58.540 Like, we're not risking a nuclear conflict with Russia.

01:01:01.620 When you start sending tanks and training and targeting of Russian troops, you get really

01:01:08.440 into dangerous territory.

01:01:10.660 And, you know, I think when you kind of step back, you say, okay, a hundred billion dollars

01:01:14.660 is a lot of money.

01:01:15.280 Well, that's just the beginning.

01:01:17.920 Remember, this is just one year of this.

01:01:20.340 We've already committed to what the president is calling basically infinite spending, as long

01:01:26.080 as it takes.

01:01:27.400 And that does not even include the rebuilding of this country.

01:01:32.760 When this is all over, you've got a bunch of piles of rock that used to be called cities.

01:01:39.340 And these cities will be rebuilt by somebody.

01:01:42.220 And guess who's going to carry a large portion of that price tag?

01:01:46.400 Us.

01:01:46.980 It will be us.

01:01:48.300 There's no question about that.

01:01:49.860 And have you seen the photos and the videos of what's happened in Ukraine?

01:01:54.780 I mean, that country has been decimated.

01:01:57.420 It is going to take a massive rebuild into the trillions of dollars.

01:02:02.180 And yes, that burden is going to mostly fall to us.

01:02:06.620 Zelensky's already said they don't have the money for it.

01:02:09.240 Yeah, and the fact that, again, like I know this is a tough situation for them.

01:02:15.760 I understand.

01:02:16.540 But like the fact that that's how they say it, they basically demand all of these things.

01:02:19.660 And we're like, okay.

01:02:21.320 And it's a proxy.

01:02:22.520 It's a proxy war.

01:02:23.880 And this is not a surprise to Vladimir Putin.

01:02:27.480 This is not a surprise to Medvedev.

01:02:29.360 This is not a surprise to their oligarchs.

01:02:31.500 They all see it.

01:02:32.500 They all know we're involved in this.

01:02:34.040 And we're all playing this game where, of course, we don't want to annihilate each other and, you know, the world ends.

01:02:40.960 So we're all playing, you know, we're kind of walking this line.

01:02:44.300 And this dance is the sort of dance that Joe Biden is incapable of continuing successfully.

01:02:50.080 At some point, we're going to cross this line and it's going to get a lot uglier.

01:02:53.960 I just hope we don't see that day.

01:02:55.560 I'm going to have more with Pat Gray here coming up in just a second.

01:02:58.300 It's 888-727-BECK, 888-727-BECK, blazetv.com, slash Glenn.

01:03:03.980 The promo code is Glenn to save yourself $10 off of Blaze TV.

01:03:07.640 It's Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed, which is part of your membership, as well as Stu from Stu Does America.

01:03:13.340 Back with more in a second.

01:03:14.380 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:03:16.800 You wouldn't think that there would be science to something as getting a good night's sleep.

01:03:21.380 But getting a good rest, actually, there is science to that.

01:03:25.260 Mike Lindell has cracked the code on comfortable sleep a long time ago, and he's been passing it on to you with his amazing products.

01:03:33.440 I don't even know how his pillows work.

01:03:35.220 I don't really care.

01:03:36.040 I just know I stick my fist through each end of them.

01:03:39.480 They don't get hot.

01:03:40.460 They don't get flat.

01:03:41.440 I'm not constantly fluffing them all night.

01:03:43.280 And he also has the Giza Dream Sheets, which are now at their lowest price, coming in as low as $29.98.

01:03:51.980 And they're made with the world's best, softest cotton.

01:04:48.940 Well, hello, you sick, twisted freak. 1.00

01:04:52.300 Welcome to the program. 1.00

01:04:54.300 Finally, after two days, I have internet happening.

01:04:59.740 Not at my house.

01:05:00.780 Of course not.

01:05:01.800 I have it at my barn, which is wonderful this time of year.

01:05:06.220 Nice and cozy and warm.

01:05:08.700 Wait until I tell you the experience that we had with the internet provider.

01:05:15.460 Oh, no, no.

01:05:16.840 Oh, no.

01:05:17.360 Could they be ripping people off?

01:05:19.080 No, absolutely not.

01:05:20.700 We'll get into that here in just a second.

01:05:23.040 First, thank you, Stu, for taking the first half of the program.

01:05:26.660 I appreciate it.

01:05:28.060 We want to continue our conversation here on the candidates.

01:05:32.900 You know, we just went through where Donald Trump has some real credibility with ending wars.

01:05:40.260 And I'm not sure where DeSantis, you know, I haven't seen proof of DeSantis in action.

01:05:47.200 We have seen it with Donald Trump.

01:05:48.940 But let's talk about COVID now.

01:05:52.040 Yeah, it seems like one of the approaches right now from Trump is...

01:05:58.500 Oh, I can't hear, Stu.

01:05:59.600 This is wonderful.

01:06:00.360 Okay.

01:06:00.800 Of course.

01:06:01.080 Go ahead, Stu.

01:06:01.560 Thank you.

01:06:02.600 I'll take it here for a second as we solve these technical issues.

01:06:05.180 We appreciate everybody hanging out and a little understanding here with what we're trying to accomplish here.

01:06:12.380 And what's interesting about what Trump is doing is he, I think, sees appropriately a potential weak point for his run in the COVID response stuff.

01:06:26.740 You know, people remember going back to March and April of 2020.

01:06:30.740 You know, when you heard the phrase, two weeks to stop the spread, the person standing on the stage was Donald Trump.

01:06:36.400 And I think everybody has some sort of remembrance of that.

01:06:40.820 And I think you're going to see candidates in the field try to go to Trump's right, if you will, and say Donald Trump was the guy who had Anthony Fauci standing by his side.

01:06:52.760 Who had Dr. Birx standing by his side, who told us two weeks to stop the spread, who then told us after those two weeks were over, another month to stop the spread.

01:07:04.000 Obviously, there's a lot of criticism over the vaccines among the Republican base.

01:07:09.760 And Trump has kind of held the line there and said, look, these things were great and they saved a bunch of lives.

01:07:15.640 Does the base agree with that?

01:07:17.140 And again, it matters what the base agrees with because they're the ones who are going to make these decisions.

01:07:22.360 So, how do you handle that if you're Donald Trump?

01:07:26.000 You can kind of see the first steps in his approach as he was talking on the plane the other day where he said, look, you know, a lot of these governors are out there bragging about their COVID responses.

01:07:38.840 You know, Florida shut down.

01:07:40.540 Florida shut down.

01:07:41.180 People forget this.

01:07:42.140 Florida shut down.

01:07:43.380 I think what he said was a lot longer than some of the others.

01:07:46.040 And, you know, in sort of normal Trump fashion, there are some truth to that.

01:07:52.460 It's probably exaggerated.

01:07:53.960 I mean, I think you look at the DeSantis response to COVID and most people on the conservative side of the spectrum look at it as a good response.

01:08:00.540 So, here's the problem that I have with Donald Trump is, you know, he is the guy who suspended.

01:08:14.460 However, however, in his favor, I give everyone a pass.

01:08:20.620 Well, except for Fauci because of what he knew was going on according to documents.

01:08:25.620 I give almost everybody a pass that everybody was trying to do the right thing.

01:08:31.520 Everybody was, you know, 10 days to slow the spread.

01:08:36.340 I give you a pass on.

01:08:38.840 However, it should have not been mandatory.

01:08:42.140 It should have been, we believe, 10 days to stop the spread is advisable.

01:08:50.200 Shouldn't have been a mandatory thing.

01:08:51.960 That comes from the World Economic Forum.

01:08:54.420 That comes from the Treasury Department and event, what was it, 201 or 203?

01:09:00.800 The strategy planning done by the WEF and the Bill Gates Foundation and all of that.

01:09:08.280 They had this plan.

01:09:09.920 They walked it into the president.

01:09:11.840 Never been done before.

01:09:13.820 Shouldn't have been done.

01:09:15.760 If you are a constitutionalist, you would have said no.

01:09:21.060 Donald Trump is not necessarily a constitutionalist, although he's better than most, it seems, at times.

01:09:28.460 I wonder if DeSantis would have done it because he did close down the state.

01:09:34.380 But again, in the beginning, I give everybody forgiveness, DeSantis and Trump alike.

01:09:41.340 But there comes a point to where you've got to say, okay, this was really bad.

01:09:45.920 We shouldn't ever do that again.

01:09:48.200 And I haven't heard that from Donald Trump.

01:09:51.340 Have you?

01:09:54.020 I think we've heard a little bit of that.

01:09:56.160 We've heard bits and pieces of that, though I still think he's out of step with a base on some of it.

01:10:02.320 What's fascinating is really the argument for DeSantis and his response is very similar to the argument to Donald Trump and his success.

01:10:11.100 If you like Trump's response, what you would say is he turned on these restrictions relatively quickly.

01:10:18.960 Now, he turned slower than DeSantis did.

01:10:22.440 Remember, Donald Trump was out there criticizing Brian Kemp, who was really the first one, at least in that area, to turn around on those restrictions.

01:10:32.320 You know, I think you could look at people like Kristi Noem in South Dakota.

01:10:36.700 Iowa was another state that never closed down.

01:10:38.880 But, you know, again, when you look at the spectrum of responses, both Trump and DeSantis would be, I think, on the right side of that for most conservatives.

01:10:48.380 So, like, they're trying to needle – I mean, DeSantis has not participated in this criticism yet, but, like, they will eventually be needling each other on this response.

01:10:57.860 And really, you know, it is – I think there are definitely parts to criticize of Trump's response.

01:11:05.040 DeSantis' response, I think, was more standard for Republicans.

01:11:08.120 And both of them stood up pretty strongly eventually and got to that point where they said, look, this is wrong and we should not be doing this.

01:11:16.200 The question with Trump is – one of his weak points is going to be he went through his entire administration with Anthony Fauci there.

01:11:24.080 And, you know, everyone looks at Fauci as the center point of this and over and over and over again, every one of his competitors in this primary are going to show pictures of Donald Trump sitting there praising Anthony Fauci, standing next to him, Fauci praising Trump.

01:11:38.540 All that stuff really happened.

01:11:39.900 That wasn't a dream, even though it seems like it at this point.

01:11:42.220 I don't think that's going to matter to people who would vote for Trump if Trump stands up at some point.

01:11:50.580 I want to hear both of them say this.

01:11:52.420 Look, we did the best we could.

01:11:54.260 We took the advice we could.

01:11:55.920 We were in an emergency situation.

01:11:58.260 We didn't know then what we know now.

01:12:01.120 However, the most important thing we learned is you cannot do these style things.

01:12:09.240 It should never happen again.

01:12:10.880 And we should be passing laws to make sure it never happens again.

01:12:17.360 The – we all gave everyone the benefit of the doubt, Fauci, and we gave the benefit of the doubt to our pharmaceutical companies.

01:12:26.980 Everybody stepped up.

01:12:28.240 We didn't know at the time – and I'd like to hear Rick and – or sorry, Ron and Donald Trump say this – that we didn't know at the time that there were deals with the government and the pharmaceutical companies.

01:12:42.920 We didn't know at the time that gain-of-function research was going on and is still going on.

01:12:49.700 So I want to have a frank and open, honest discussion and really hearing on everything that happened.

01:12:59.560 But the first step is we are to never, ever, the federal government, close down businesses and close everything down from the federal level.

01:13:10.420 People were already isolating before we did it.

01:13:13.980 We're not going to do that ever again.

01:13:16.420 And we are going to make sure that it never happens again through legislation.

01:13:21.540 That's what I'd love to hear.

01:13:24.640 Yes, I think we need to do that.

01:13:25.780 And through the courts as well.

01:13:26.840 We need to get all these things on record and locked down through the court system to make sure this doesn't happen again.

01:13:32.000 Glenn, let me – can I ask you a couple of non-binding prediction questions for the future?

01:13:37.860 I'm not going to hold you to these.

01:13:39.200 Okay.

01:13:39.500 I'm not going to hold you to these. 1.00

01:13:40.320 I'm not going to say you are an idiot for getting these wrong. 0.92

01:13:42.300 I just want your vibes at this very moment. 0.99

01:13:45.180 Okay.

01:13:45.280 So we know we have DeSantis and Trump in this back and forth here at the top of the primary.

01:13:53.040 Likely, there will be a third person who at least has a run at some point.

01:13:59.080 Someone who gets, I don't know, into double digits in a few polls, maybe puts some pressure on one of the two candidates,

01:14:04.600 maybe passes one of the two candidates and has an outside chance of winning.

01:14:08.380 Let me give you some names of people who are being thrown around right now.

01:14:11.180 Tell me who you think your number three is in this race right now.

01:14:15.640 You've got John Bolton, Mike Pompeo.

01:14:18.940 No.

01:14:19.460 Mike Pence.

01:14:21.020 No.

01:14:21.880 Nikki Haley.

01:14:23.060 No.

01:14:23.880 Ted Cruz.

01:14:25.220 No.

01:14:26.320 Kristi Noem.

01:14:28.560 Maybe, but I lean towards no.

01:14:31.020 Okay.

01:14:31.440 Rick Scott from Florida.

01:14:34.960 Maybe, but I lean towards no.

01:14:37.840 Tim Scott, South Carolina.

01:14:39.760 Um, uh, that's the first one that I think is like, yeah, probably it could be.

01:14:47.840 Yeah.

01:14:48.240 Maybe.

01:14:48.660 Okay.

01:14:49.240 Uh, Glenn Youngkin from Virginia.

01:14:51.300 No, no.

01:14:52.660 I hope to God not.

01:14:54.300 Right.

01:14:54.600 You're that, that down on Youngkin already?

01:14:57.320 No, I, I mean, I just, I, I want to see governors that are leading, uh, like, uh, Ron DeSantis is.

01:15:06.560 I want to see governors understand and verbalize the country is on fire and we are building a barricade around our state.

01:15:18.420 It's why I, I, I'm sorry, but I don't give Texas, I give Texas a hard time and I think they deserve it.

01:15:25.680 Um, they are acting like it's business as usual, maybe a little dicey.

01:15:30.780 This isn't a rainstorm.

01:15:32.700 This is a category seven hurricane.

01:15:35.940 What are we, what are we doing?

01:15:37.440 I want to see governors who have actually taken hard stands and are continually moving the ball forward, not playing, um, uh, not playing where at least we're not them and certainly not, uh, playing defense.

01:15:54.060 I want somebody on the offense.

01:15:57.120 Hmm.

01:15:57.920 Um, and, uh, you mentioned Texas and Greg Abbott's another one you throw in there.

01:16:01.700 I was assuming you would say no on him.

01:16:03.380 No.

01:16:03.620 Larry, Larry Hogan, Liz Cheney from the left has been rumored as well.

01:16:08.040 No.

01:16:08.580 So really no one there that you, you think there's no one obvious that all these people are very low in the polls.

01:16:13.900 Tim Scott is the one you maybe said had potential as a, as a, I think there's, um, uh, I, I, you know, I, I think predicting any of this.

01:16:24.040 This stuff at this point is, it's crazy, uh, is crazy.

01:16:26.980 That's why it's non-binding.

01:16:27.940 That's why I non-binded you. 0.90

01:16:29.740 Yeah.

01:16:30.280 Well, cause it's, it, this is, this literally all of this stuff could change overnight.

01:16:34.920 We, we could, you know, we could be without power in 2024.

01:16:40.820 We could also be the king of the world with some new Bitcoin in 2020.

01:16:46.180 We have no idea what is coming.

01:16:49.220 This is the most unstable the world has been in my lifetime.

01:16:55.200 I can't, I cannot think of another time that is more unstable than, than it is right now.

01:16:59.740 So let's, let's all pretend we're alcoholics and take it one day at a time.

01:17:06.340 All right.

01:17:06.880 Let me, let me tell you about, uh, rough green.

01:17:09.480 Cheryl wrote in about her dog's experience.

01:17:11.120 She said, Glenn, I was actually really skeptical, um, about, you know, rough greens and it would have any effect on my dogs.

01:17:16.920 However, my dog got sick, was having, had surgery, wasn't doing well.

01:17:21.940 And I decided I'm going to just at least try it.

01:17:24.940 11 year old dog surgery.

01:17:26.460 She said within a week's time, she was playing like a pup, uh, totally amazed at how better both of my dogs digestion has been, which I think is that code for dog farts.

01:17:37.980 Is that because I don't know if they make that claim, although it's well, nevermind.

01:17:44.160 Uh, all right.

01:17:44.960 Rough green.

01:17:45.640 Thank you for, thank you for, sorry for wrecking that nice testimonial, Cheryl.

01:17:49.580 Thank you for writing in rough greens is not a dog food.

01:17:52.000 It's a supplement developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis black has everything in it.

01:17:56.180 Your dog needs.

01:17:57.100 You just put it on top rough green.

01:17:58.920 So confident that your dog's going to love it, that they want to make sure that you feel comfortable ordering it.

01:18:04.040 And, you know, and you don't lose out in any money if your dog doesn't like it.

01:18:08.600 So they're going to send you a trial pack for free.

01:18:10.860 You just pay for shipping, sprinkle it on your dog's food for a few days and see if he'll eat it.

01:18:15.940 If he'll eat it, order the big bag and make sure you put it on every meal.

01:18:20.980 And you'll see a remarkable difference.

01:18:23.520 At least I didn't with my dog.

01:18:25.000 Stu did.

01:18:57.080 I think technically we're pretty sound now.

01:19:00.900 Okay.

01:19:01.460 It only took us two days.

01:19:03.220 Texas is insane.

01:19:05.160 Everything stops. 0.84

01:19:06.380 There's not.

01:19:06.980 I mean, I'd be out there in the front with salt shakers. 0.98

01:19:10.220 And that's like, that's it.

01:19:12.080 That's it.

01:19:12.540 You're not, you're not clearing any of the ice.

01:19:15.100 It hasn't snowed here, but we have about half an inch of ice on all of the roadways.

01:19:20.660 We don't have sand.

01:19:21.840 We don't have salt trucks.

01:19:23.260 So it's great.

01:19:23.920 It's great.

01:19:24.520 And tomorrow, another ice storm is coming.

01:19:27.500 Yeah.

01:19:28.340 Yeah.

01:19:29.000 Yeah.

01:19:29.380 I don't, don't you feel like you're in nursery school?

01:19:33.120 I mean, it's, it's like nowhere else, nowhere else in America does this happen.

01:19:38.560 And you're like, uh, I'm out.

01:19:40.260 And it happens every year.

01:19:43.140 Yeah.

01:19:43.700 It's, it's basically turns into April, 2020 COVID where no one goes out.

01:19:49.440 I know the entire society is like, it's like a three day pandemic.

01:19:53.540 Yeah.

01:19:54.060 It's, it's horrible.

01:19:55.260 It's absolutely horrible.

01:19:56.360 So, uh, broadcasting from, uh, my barn, which does not, uh, look like Stu's porno palace

01:20:02.880 at his house.

01:20:03.600 I don't even know what that is too, but, uh, it's my wife's podcast studio.

01:20:08.300 It's a weird studio.

01:20:09.720 I don't know what your wife is talking about on her podcast.

01:20:12.520 It's weird.

01:20:13.120 It's weird.

01:20:13.960 It's the Lisa page made me do it podcast.

01:20:16.300 It's very girly.

01:20:17.860 Uh, but I will say it's, it does have a very fluorescent sign behind me.

01:20:23.440 And I, I, yes, that is a little, not normally.

01:20:26.360 Where you see your news talk, uh, no, no, it's not.

01:20:29.580 No, it's not.

01:20:30.260 Well, look at where you are.

01:20:31.220 You're what you said.

01:20:32.020 It was a barn.

01:20:32.940 That does not look like a barn to me.

01:20:35.260 All I see.

01:20:36.240 I see cars behind you.

01:20:38.180 It, this, that's, that's, that's a barn to you as a person who's never done outdoor

01:20:42.040 work in his entire life.

01:20:43.460 Hey, this, I call it a barn.

01:20:45.560 Cause it used to be a barn.

01:20:47.740 It was, this used to be a horse stall.

01:20:50.480 Um, I bought Terry Bradshaw's old place and, uh, it was this nasty, nasty, uh, horse stall

01:20:59.220 that was full of all kinds of deadly stuff down here in Texas.

01:21:02.880 And so we just, we gutted it.

01:21:04.760 So it is a barn.

01:21:05.700 It's just not a normal barn on the inside.

01:21:09.380 Yeah.

01:21:09.860 Well, you mean nothing when you change something, right?

01:21:14.220 When you change something to something else, it ceases to be the thing it was.

01:21:18.840 That's how the transitions work.

01:21:20.620 Really?

01:21:21.540 I remember it was about a week before I finished and I thought to myself, I am five days away

01:21:27.740 from fundamentally transforming this barn and nobody has a problem when you transform

01:21:34.300 America.

01:21:34.880 I guess it's still America point made Stu back in just a second.

01:21:52.080 The Glenn back program.

01:21:53.780 Um, Stu, we got to get, I don't know if you, you know this, but there's a, there was a raid

01:21:59.400 happening, I think this morning, uh, with the FBI, uh, again, at, uh, at, uh, Joe Biden's

01:22:06.420 place.

01:22:06.820 I mean, what is happening?

01:22:11.580 What is so strange?

01:22:13.260 Yeah.

01:22:13.440 And, and it's funny because like, I, as much as like, if you're going to raid Donald Trump's

01:22:17.220 house over the stuff, you probably should raid Joe Biden's house over the stuff.

01:22:21.060 Right.

01:22:21.240 I will say the precedent of the FBI rating sitting and former president's homes is not a good

01:22:27.260 one.

01:22:27.540 Not a good one.

01:22:29.120 No.

01:22:29.720 Uh, so we'll get, uh, Jason on this.

01:22:32.600 Who's been watching it this morning.

01:22:34.120 Also, uh, there was already another raid at Joe Biden's house that you never heard about.

01:22:40.960 Never heard.

01:22:41.760 It happened in November, the white house. 0.78

01:22:44.740 We're being completely transparent.

01:22:47.240 Lied, lied to the American people. 0.93

01:22:50.820 Is anybody going to care?

01:22:52.780 Does anyone care about any of this stuff?

01:22:56.320 I think the answer is yes, but we don't think anything's going to be done.

01:23:00.480 Back in a minute.

01:23:01.060 We got to stand together.

01:23:06.380 It's going to survive.

01:23:09.880 Stand upside and hold the line.

01:23:14.300 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:41.840 This is the Glenn Beck program. 0.99

01:23:49.300 And I is sick, twisted freak. 0.98

01:23:51.700 Welcome to Wednesday. 0.94

01:23:53.420 Uh, there's some updates on the secret document scandal.

01:23:58.440 Uh, and also more is coming out about Hunter Biden that is extraordinarily disturbing.

01:24:05.700 How much is America going to take before it's stands up and says, this has to be addressed.

01:24:15.020 How much more?

01:24:16.760 We begin in 60 seconds.

01:24:19.500 Hey, I've got good news for you.

01:24:20.940 First of all, let me tell you, several of America's largest banks are teaming up to create something that they call a digital wallet.

01:24:29.800 It takes all of them to get together to create this.

01:24:34.880 This is cutting edge technology.

01:24:37.160 So this digital wallet will compete with something called Apple Pay.

01:24:44.280 Uh huh.

01:24:45.380 Really?

01:24:45.820 Why are you guys doing that?

01:24:47.460 Exactly.

01:24:47.780 It's being run by a company.

01:24:50.800 I'm not calling, I'm not kidding you.

01:24:52.180 Being run by a company called Early Warning Services.

01:24:56.340 Oh, that doesn't, that doesn't sound shady or spooky in the slightest.

01:25:00.800 Um, maybe we should probably look into this.

01:25:03.260 The project involves Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, and Bake of America, which all have, you know, something else in common.

01:25:10.760 They've all been fined billions of dollars a year for allegedly ripping off consumers.

01:25:15.320 So nothing to see here, gang.

01:25:17.460 Nothing to see here.

01:25:18.900 Maybe they're testing these newfangled digital wallets, you know, um, even though they own the companies that provide the services, they're creating a new one for complete control of everybody's dollars.

01:25:32.980 I'm not sure.

01:25:35.400 Have you considered spreading out your risk and, uh, putting some of your money not in dollars?

01:25:45.020 Because the dollar is, we're now cut off on the petrodollar, uh, Saudi Arabia.

01:25:51.160 Nobody's talking about it.

01:25:52.260 Saudi Arabia just said, nah, you know what?

01:25:54.160 Petrodollars, we'll take anything.

01:25:56.020 We'll take clams if you want oil.

01:25:58.780 Oh, that's going to be good.

01:25:59.740 That's going to be really good.

01:26:00.660 Please understand gold, silver, precious metals should be an important part of anything that you have.

01:26:09.360 A 10% of anything that you have, please.

01:26:52.180 All right.

01:26:52.920 Jason, uh, who has, uh, a update for us, Jason, um, give me, uh, give me the update on what is happening now with Joe Biden and the FBI.

01:27:07.180 Hello, Glenn.

01:27:08.140 Well, I'm sure everyone's seeing this all over Twitter and there's like aerial cams from helicopters going over, uh, President Biden's house right now.

01:27:15.500 And they're live streaming the FBI raiding his house, uh, looking for these classified documents.

01:27:21.100 Did everyone see that?

01:27:22.500 No, they're not treating it, uh, the same way that they did.

01:27:25.940 And this is amazing.

01:27:27.540 They've been in their house.

01:27:28.940 Uh, sources told CNBC, I think were the first to report this.

01:27:32.600 It was a very small story.

01:27:34.680 Uh, I didn't hardly see anyone reporting on it.

01:27:37.280 Um, but they've been there.

01:27:39.400 The FBI just recently, uh, took a look at his, uh, DC think tank office that took them around 12 hours.

01:27:46.660 Uh, so I'm assuming they're going to be there probably all day.

01:27:49.680 Um, this is really unprecedented.

01:27:52.280 Stu mentioned this earlier, what they're opening this up, the precedent that it opens up here.

01:27:56.420 And the reason why is because you're looking at a, uh, a weaponized department of justice and FBI.

01:28:04.560 And I think when you look at this on a timeline, I think this was, uh, is covering up as one of the biggest election interferences in American history.

01:28:13.580 Um, can I explain that Glenn?

01:28:16.500 Yes.

01:28:17.720 Can you?

01:28:18.440 Um, I can.

01:28:19.800 And so when we first heard about this, when the timeline started becoming materializing, um, the Biden's lawyers found

01:28:26.240 classified docs at the DC think tank office on November 2nd, um, why did we not hear anything then?

01:28:32.680 Because that was in the, in the very middle of the hoopla surrounding Trump and the raid at Mar-a-Lago.

01:28:38.060 Why didn't we hear about this update?

01:28:39.960 Well, just six days later with the midterms, they couldn't let it go.

01:28:43.320 Because what we all know is that the raid at Mar-a-Lago was just a big political stunt.

01:28:46.860 That's all it was.

01:28:47.940 They were losing hardcore in the polls.

01:28:50.020 They knew that they were about to take a big defeat in the midterms.

01:28:52.580 They needed a whammy.

01:28:53.620 And that whammy was the raid on Donald Trump's house.

01:28:56.440 That's what it was.

01:28:57.280 We all knew what it was.

01:28:58.360 Now we're seeing it materialize.

01:29:00.360 That's exactly what was going on.

01:29:01.900 Well, one day later, the DOJ on November 9th, the DOJ and the FBI decided, you know what?

01:29:07.000 I think we should look at these classified documents found in his home.

01:29:10.020 I think maybe it could have been a violation of federal law.

01:29:12.740 We're going to look into it.

01:29:14.080 Oh, really?

01:29:14.980 A day after the midterms?

01:29:16.340 Now you're going to decide?

01:29:17.680 But because of the slow drip process, we didn't even hear about that.

01:29:20.880 We only just now heard about that just a few weeks ago.

01:29:23.980 And now that the FBI is now moving on some of these places, we're starting to see that

01:29:28.880 the FBI is completely boxed in.

01:29:31.180 They've been caught.

01:29:32.420 They were outed in this scheme to work with the Democrats, to tank Republicans, to tank

01:29:37.800 Donald Trump.

01:29:38.760 And now they're like, OK, well, crud, we have to move.

01:29:41.880 We have to do a raid.

01:29:42.880 We have to get involved and show that, hey, at least we're taking this seriously.

01:29:46.380 Will they eventually in the end?

01:29:48.060 Highly doubt it, because this has been a sham since the beginning.

01:29:50.180 All right.

01:29:50.980 So here's the here's a couple of questions.

01:29:53.460 First, you didn't touch on what CBS News has just reported, that the FBI conducted another

01:30:01.320 undisclosed search of the Penn Biden Center back in November.

01:30:05.460 I think that you might have just mentioned that in in in passing here.

01:30:09.540 They they knew that the that these were in existence.

01:30:16.300 They knew this was a problem, but they go and they raid it and the White House hasn't ever

01:30:23.700 talked about it.

01:30:24.940 The White House is telling America that they're very, very transparent.

01:30:28.560 They're cooperating 100 percent.

01:30:30.800 Who is shutting down the information?

01:30:34.880 Who is who?

01:30:35.940 Is there a single journalist that would like to win?

01:30:40.660 Well, you're not going to win a Pulitzer because you have to lie to win one of those.

01:30:43.820 Is there anybody that cares enough about the truth, no matter where it falls, that they're

01:30:49.620 going to tell the truth?

01:30:52.180 No, we just found out about that raid that you just mentioned this week.

01:30:56.120 We found out about it this week.

01:30:57.660 It happened way back then.

01:30:58.800 I mean, you remember when all of this, it was almost kind of like a a drip process when

01:31:03.380 they went to move on Trump.

01:31:04.500 Remember the remember how investigative these journalists were being?

01:31:08.340 They were looking at torn up notes and and toilet bowls that that's like they're at all

01:31:13.800 exclusive.

01:31:14.500 We found these torn up notes.

01:31:15.760 Look how careless he is.

01:31:16.900 Then we start finding out about these classified docs at Mar-a-Lago.

01:31:19.740 That's the links they were willing to go.

01:31:21.740 All of this stuff like you have lawyers involved within the Biden administration.

01:31:25.480 You have the DOJ involved, the FBI involved going back months and not a single journalist

01:31:31.560 knew a thing about it.

01:31:33.320 All right.

01:31:33.700 So, of course, that's not true.

01:31:35.180 So, Jason, tell me, what do you think is happening?

01:31:40.660 Why would the FBI be raiding his house yet again?

01:31:46.120 Why would they be doing this today?

01:31:48.560 Well, I seriously think that I mean, this could point toward because we know that it was a 0.98

01:31:53.860 two pronged reason for raiding Mar-a-Lago and Donald Trump.

01:31:57.940 One, it was a heck of a it was a it was a heck of a pre-October surprise for the midterm

01:32:04.640 election.

01:32:05.300 That's one.

01:32:06.060 I think that was one of the biggest things.

01:32:07.440 The second, they actually wanted to prosecute him.

01:32:09.860 They did not want him to run for president again the next election.

01:32:13.520 That was a big thing.

01:32:14.560 Now, I don't think that any one on the left wants Joe Biden to run again in 2024.

01:32:20.280 I do not think they want him.

01:32:21.640 He's vulnerable now, but so is Trump.

01:32:24.020 I think right now they're kind of like gambling.

01:32:26.520 Well, yes, we open them both up to prosecution.

01:32:29.560 They'll both be vulnerable.

01:32:31.120 But do we care?

01:32:31.840 No, I don't think they care.

01:32:33.360 I think now they're kind of like cutting their losses and they're looking towards who actually

01:32:37.720 they can find that's electable.

01:32:39.040 I don't think they have too many people that are electable.

01:32:40.860 But I think that they see the vulnerability of Joe Biden.

01:32:43.780 That's a bonus for them.

01:32:45.100 And they're going to continue with the vulnerability of Donald Trump.

01:32:47.960 They're going to make an example.

01:32:48.840 This is banana republic.

01:32:51.260 This is banana republic stuff.

01:32:53.100 You don't go in and raid a sitting president's home.

01:32:57.840 You don't do it.

01:32:59.280 We've never, ever done anything like this.

01:33:02.520 We've never did it with Donald Trump.

01:33:04.140 Now they're going and raiding a sitting president's home.

01:33:07.700 That's fine if we had a justice department that we trusted, but we don't.

01:33:15.720 We know they're not after real justice.

01:33:18.300 So that leads you to what is what is it that they're after?

01:33:22.880 This becomes extraordinarily dangerous for a republic if your justice department is corrupt and the deep state is in charge and they can just take any president and go into their house and raid it and charge him on things that Hillary Clinton didn't go to jail for.

01:33:46.460 I can't believe I'm actually kind of defending Joe Biden here because I'm defending the process.

01:33:54.580 You should have done this from the beginning.

01:33:57.000 Now they're using this as a political tool, I fear, because the biggest tool is Hunter Biden.

01:34:03.480 And the things that are coming out about Hunter Biden are really, really damaging.

01:34:10.320 It looks weak.

01:34:11.420 What was it yesterday, Jason?

01:34:12.880 We had the story about Hunter's Hunter setting up the biotech labs, the bioweapons labs in Ukraine. 0.79

01:34:23.700 He was the guy who helped start that and helped fund that.

01:34:29.000 What's that all about?

01:34:30.460 I mean, I think the further we start seeing that the Ukraine stuff, the business dealings with Hunter Biden, the rest of his family and why they were so like hyper focused on Ukraine and why now they are so hyper focused on making sure that, you know, everything is secure there.

01:34:48.240 You know, they got to make sure that, you know, all of those skeletons are completely buried.

01:34:53.640 I don't even think that we're we probably haven't even scratched the surface.

01:34:57.160 I mean, we've covered Burisma in detail.

01:35:00.240 Now we're getting hints of this.

01:35:01.880 Those are the things we know.

01:35:03.000 What do we not know that they had their fingers in?

01:35:05.880 I mean, this is getting absolutely insane.

01:35:08.760 You know, the thing that bothers me so much is the amount of money that has gone over there, because we know most of it has not gone to the front lines.

01:35:17.320 We've had people on the front lines who have verified this.

01:35:20.680 We're not seeing an influx of things.

01:35:22.980 Where are all those things going?

01:35:24.360 You're seeing 10 politicians had to step down because they were taking the aid and funneling it towards their families, et cetera, et cetera.

01:35:33.460 Ten politicians.

01:35:35.420 We're not monitoring anything.

01:35:37.920 And I think this is a huge payoff.

01:35:40.880 Did you see that it was what was it?

01:35:42.500 Two point five billion dollars.

01:35:44.420 They say was given out during the PPP program that shouldn't have been given out.

01:35:52.220 All went to corruption.

01:35:53.600 Two point five billion dollars.

01:35:56.300 Do you know politically what could be done with a billion dollars?

01:36:02.940 Ten billion dollars.

01:36:04.240 If this money is being funneled nefarious places, which is the only way dirty money ever goes.

01:36:11.020 It's not like it goes to the church.

01:36:13.160 This money is being funneled somewhere.

01:36:16.420 Where?

01:36:17.600 Who is using that money for what kind of a global campaign?

01:36:23.640 Where's that money's influence being felt?

01:36:26.140 We need to know this.

01:36:31.900 Jason, is it your belief at this point that the government is going to move on Joe Biden more than this?

01:36:45.480 Well, I I kind of do, because I don't think that I don't really see an out for the DOJ and FBI on this.

01:36:54.780 I really don't.

01:36:55.960 I mean, they've they've already, you know, the grenade they dropped with Trump and now all the revelations that are coming out about Biden.

01:37:03.380 I just don't see how they can.

01:37:04.980 I mean, they're going to try and minimize and, you know, make it seem more benign what Biden did.

01:37:11.240 But I saw that in some of the early reporting on the raid or the FBI search today, they're trying to say that, you know, oh, Joe Biden is in full cooperation with the FBI, you know, more than happy to let the FBI search his home today.

01:37:28.700 There's no difference between that and what Donald Trump did.

01:37:31.780 He was in cooperation with the FBI.

01:37:34.020 He allowed them access.

01:37:35.300 They went and looked, they searched through the file folders, looked at everything and said, hey, Mr. President, you should probably put a padlock on that door.

01:37:42.640 OK, so he did it.

01:37:43.960 What is the difference?

01:37:45.780 Really, what what is the difference?

01:37:47.160 There is no difference.

01:37:47.960 But you can already see them, you know, they're calling their shot right now that they're going to try and make this look more benign.

01:37:54.500 They'll probably end up saying that, OK, we find no criminality here for some weird magic trick.

01:38:00.080 We find criminality with Donald Trump.

01:38:01.560 But in the end, they're both they're both vulnerable with the ultimate.

01:38:07.080 So do you think that there is a do you think there's a chance that this is because that's what I'm hearing from people.

01:38:13.040 The left is done with the Bidens.

01:38:17.760 And so now this is all coming from the deep state and they're just going to destroy him and his family.

01:38:23.800 Yeah. And Glenn, just a real quick point on just how deep this deep state is right now and how much they are outing themselves.

01:38:32.220 I mean, just look at the DOJ and the FBI.

01:38:34.340 Look at what they did to the pro-life activists.

01:38:37.020 You know, the hook was just exonerated.

01:38:39.960 But can you believe that the DOJ actually they knew they did not have a case, Glenn.

01:38:44.580 They knew they did not have a case.

01:38:46.560 They knew how flimsy it was.

01:38:48.260 He wasn't even blocking that entrance.

01:38:49.900 This other activist went towards a hook, basically ran him down the street. 0.84

01:38:56.580 And then he had, as per in the court, the Planned Parenthood CEO admitted that this guy had those issues before.

01:39:03.280 He had been confronting people out on the street, which they're told not to do before.

01:39:07.660 So the DOJ knew they didn't have a case.

01:39:10.340 But what did they do?

01:39:11.120 They still went because it was retaliation.

01:39:13.720 Their flagship banner issue, Roe v. Wade, had gotten overturned.

01:39:17.160 So they wanted to deliver a gut punch, had nothing to do with justice, but they are weaponized.

01:39:22.420 I mean, this on top of what's going on with Biden and Trump right now, there's the deep state right there.

01:39:27.760 They are fully weaponized, and they're coming after you.

01:39:30.260 Yeah, and that's what disturbs me.

01:39:31.720 Yesterday, we had a guy who filed a lawsuit here in Texas against the ATF on the, what do you call them, the stocks, the collapsible stocks.

01:39:45.760 But it's a, what are they called, the pistols that can turn into rifles magically with the stabilizing stock.

01:39:52.860 And they, the ATF said that those are absolutely legal.

01:39:59.540 They've been legal for years, blah, blah, blah.

01:40:02.220 Now, through a stroke of a pen, not Congress or anything else, they decide that that's a felony to own one of those.

01:40:09.080 In case you missed yesterday's podcast, we talked to the guy who was filing suit because yesterday was the day that it actually became in the federal registry, which means it's now officially on the book.

01:40:25.480 So the clock started running yesterday.

01:40:27.800 You have 120 days before you're a felon.

01:40:30.240 They may not get away with this, but what they're doing, when you say weaponizing, there's two things that people have to understand.

01:40:39.280 How a national socialist kind of takeover usually happens is they make so many things through regulation illegal that almost everybody's in violation of something.

01:40:54.600 And then they apply pressure selectively to who they want to apply pressure.

01:40:59.540 So if you have one of those, one of those guns and you haven't filed in 120 days because you're waiting for the court to speak on it, what's going to happen to you?

01:41:09.400 They will arrest you even if they know nothing's going to happen.

01:41:14.080 They want to make people's lives miserable through the system.

01:41:18.780 That way they can control you, even if it doesn't end up that you have to be held in jail.

01:41:26.620 The whole process is the real punishment.

01:41:30.700 Back on just a second, because we have some new information about Hunter Biden as well that is just, gosh, I don't know how people with a conscience actually are navigating today's news and feeling good about it.

01:41:44.400 All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:41:48.600 It's Tuttle Twins.

01:41:50.260 No, no, no, sorry.

01:41:51.300 It's Preborn.

01:41:51.940 This is great.

01:41:53.540 Preborn is a sponsor of ours, and they came into my office a year, year and a half ago, and it's a ministry to save babies.

01:42:05.300 And so it's all the money that they raised.

01:42:07.580 I mean, it was like tithing money.

01:42:08.860 It was God's money.

01:42:10.020 And they come to me and they say, can you help?

01:42:12.460 And I'm like, well, yeah, I think I can.

01:42:16.240 I think the audience will really appreciate it.

01:42:19.920 I know I'm married into it.

01:42:21.480 I've given.

01:42:23.840 And their goal was to save children.

01:42:27.420 And with what Christ says to us about children and millstones, I can't imagine anything that would bring down more blessings and more protection than would saving his children from abortion, from sex slavery, from any of these things.

01:42:46.000 And we need favor in the eyes of God.

01:42:48.980 We need to be fighting his fight.

01:42:51.480 So what we've done is we have teamed up with Preborn, and for $28, that's a cost of a dinner, you can sponsor an ultrasound, five of them for $140.

01:43:05.800 Why an ultrasound?

01:43:08.260 This is why Planned Parenthood hates ultrasounds, because you have an 80% chance of actually changing the mom's mind if she comes in wanting abortion. 1.00

01:43:41.880 Okay.

01:43:42.520 We so apologize to all of our guests that we have been off and on again and had to bump because of technical reasons, but Sean Reyes was bumped from earlier in the show, and he's made time to come back on with us.

01:43:59.700 He's going to be talking about something very, very positive.

01:44:03.020 He is leading the way, along with 25 other states, these attorney generals are doing the hard work, and he is doing everything they can, along with 25 other states, to save your retirement.

01:44:19.740 Wait until you hear this story and what's being done.

01:44:23.200 It's a success story that you need to support.

01:44:33.020 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:44:38.380 Let's.

01:44:39.520 Okay, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:44:41.980 It's Tunnel to Towers.

01:44:43.200 Out of the ashes of 9-11, Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been honoring America's heroes in doing good for the world ever since.

01:44:51.100 If you haven't heard of them, let me just explain quickly.

01:44:54.420 They are an organization started after 9-11 that provides mortgage-free homes to families of fallen and severely injured veterans and first responders.

01:45:04.620 Okay, they want to take care of the families.

01:45:06.980 They'll be taking care of hundreds of Gold Star and fallen first responder families, providing them with homes this year.

01:45:13.520 It was 500 last year.

01:45:15.840 It's going to be a lot more than that, unfortunately, this year.

01:45:18.760 They also travel around with a 9-11 memorial kind of museum, and they can bring it to schools.

01:45:27.420 They bring it all across the country, and they teach our children about 9-11.

01:45:32.260 They're not learning that.

01:45:33.600 Please, help Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good.

01:45:36.580 Can you donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org?

01:45:42.300 That's T, the number 2T, dot org.

01:45:46.000 Tunnel to Towers.

01:45:47.640 It's a great charity that we all need to pitch in and help if we can.

01:46:06.580 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:46:15.500 The guy that I think should be the one to save America from the peril that is Mitt Romney,

01:46:23.420 and primary him in Utah, is Sean Reyes.

01:46:27.180 He is the Utah Attorney General, a good friend, and a very good man.

01:46:32.040 Welcome to the program.

01:46:33.600 Sean, how are you, sir?

01:46:35.240 I'm doing so well, Glenn.

01:46:36.800 How are you doing?

01:46:37.980 Good.

01:46:38.420 You know, we don't deal with snow in Texas like you do in Utah.

01:46:41.440 So my apologies for the cancellation earlier, and we are just a, we're a city at least.

01:46:48.200 Dallas is like, it's worse than it was with COVID.

01:46:52.800 Nobody can move because of the ice on the streets.

01:46:55.740 But, so thank you for your patience.

01:46:58.100 Sean.

01:46:58.620 Of course.

01:46:58.940 There was something that the Biden administration announced in November, and this is so insidious.

01:47:08.820 And Joe Biden said that he wanted regulation now to be able to force everybody's retirement fund into ESG style funds.

01:47:21.560 That could dramatically impact the retirement accounts of millions of Americans.

01:47:31.360 You have put together 25 states, the attorney generals, and you have filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration and trying to get that repealed.

01:47:44.860 Tell me about it.

01:48:14.860 We've put together a lot of financial managers of private benefit plans like 401ks that you have, that I have, to pick investments based solely on financial reasons to benefit the plan and maximize value for beneficiaries.

01:48:28.380 That's their fiduciary duty.

01:48:30.560 We call it the exclusive purpose test.

01:48:33.260 And this new Biden rule, which, by the way, as you said, they tried to sneaky, really sinister past this rule and hope that no one would would notice.

01:48:44.620 Kind of like they did the last time we had to sue the Department of Labor on OSHA vaccine mandates.

01:48:51.200 You remember that.

01:48:51.940 And we took that to the Supreme Court in one and we'll do the same here if we need to, because this is yet another existential threat from ESG.

01:49:01.760 So this new Biden rule allows asset managers for these plans to abandon their fiduciary duty and become instead woke investment activists for ESG.

01:49:13.380 Glenn, this rule puts at risk over 12 trillion dollars, 12 trillion dollars of private retirement funds for 152 million hardworking Americans.

01:49:26.160 The whole civilian workforce in America, Glenn, is 165 million at last count.

01:49:31.660 So it just shows you the scale of the impact that this rule would have.

01:49:36.480 And again, it weaponizes and politicizes the role of asset managers at a time when 401ks are already taking major hits due to the economic downturns and high inflation from this administration.

01:49:53.380 It is insane, Glenn.

01:49:54.720 So, Sean, this doesn't mandate that they they have to buy ESGs.

01:50:02.000 It just allows them to to put aside their fiduciary responsibility, which is insane.

01:50:10.920 Insane.

01:50:12.420 You're right.

01:50:12.980 It doesn't mandate.

01:50:13.840 And it's funny that you say it that way, because that was the defense that the DOL administration put forth for why this this is still acceptable.

01:50:25.000 We're not mandating illegal conduct.

01:50:27.440 We're only allowing illegal conduct.

01:50:32.480 It's perverse the way that they that they put it forward.

01:50:36.460 Oh, OK.

01:50:37.280 Well, as long as it's not mandated, it's OK.

01:50:41.440 But we've seen the reality is and you've talked about this on your show a lot.

01:50:46.960 And thank you.

01:50:47.760 God bless you for being such a voice of reason, a loud voice and pushing back on this ESG insanity because ESG funds are largely underperforming and they're getting that.

01:50:59.560 Of course, they are zero that they should be looking at, by the way, technologies that are actually profitable and don't cause more environmental impact.

01:51:08.680 You have one right now in your state and mine.

01:51:12.300 It's a it's a Utah based company.

01:51:13.940 I'm going to throw it out.

01:51:14.680 You can have them on the show another time.

01:51:16.860 But Omnis Energy is about to make a huge announcement in Texas about really clean energy that will give us the energy dominance it deserves.

01:51:26.280 And many of Texas's most prominent business leaders are committed to this technology.

01:51:30.820 So I'm teasing it a little bit.

01:51:32.420 Oh, I think I know what this is.

01:51:34.880 When do they announce that?

01:51:36.760 It's coming.

01:51:37.580 It's coming within days or weeks.

01:51:41.040 And, you know, some of the principles.

01:51:42.980 Oh, this is really this.

01:51:46.440 This is going to be an exciting announcement.

01:51:48.240 This is going to be really good.

01:51:50.080 We'll we'll we'll let you in on that on the show.

01:51:54.140 I've known about this for a couple of months and been waiting and waiting and waiting.

01:51:58.060 And I'm excited to hear that.

01:52:00.120 I don't want to take their thunder.

01:52:02.100 And I know.

01:52:03.160 But but you know what?

01:52:04.860 They're there.

01:52:05.440 Glenn, there are other technical reasons.

01:52:07.960 And I just want to throw this out to any of the lawyers out there who are questioning, OK, what what is the basis and why is it illegal?

01:52:16.160 In addition to it violating the fiduciary responsibilities, there are other factors that violate the major questions doctrine because it has vast economic impact.

01:52:29.900 And the DOL actually doesn't have the authority to do this.

01:52:33.540 It's arbitrary and capricious.

01:52:34.860 And it also another thing that we didn't really talk about a lot is that it allows proxy voting, again, in a way that prevents them from or requires them from from living up to their fiduciary responsibilities.

01:52:50.960 So there's a proxy element here, too, which is another aspect of ESG that is pernicious.

01:52:58.420 And again, they're so brazen.

01:53:00.740 This this this audacity of woke is is unbelievable.

01:53:05.480 Right.

01:53:05.700 Sean, I will tell you, we have been fighting ESG with ESG legislation through wall builders and David Barton.

01:53:17.400 And, you know, I've been up at different states talking about it and they have really mounted an effort in I think about 30 states are considering legislation.

01:53:25.880 I have been working with another organization for the last I mean, we've been working with them for at least eight months, but we found out some things that that they were doing to undermine the protection for the people.

01:53:43.980 And just a quick side note, I'm going to be making an announcement about that very well known foundation and what they've been doing.

01:53:54.720 We've tried to give them several months to clarify and rectify the problem.

01:54:02.040 They haven't.

01:54:03.000 And tomorrow's program, I'm going to be telling you something quite shocking and very, very disappointing on a on a foundation that is has a long legacy and heritage that you're going to be disappointed in.

01:54:22.280 Anyway, so let me ask you, let me ask you on the ESG front, is anyone that, you know, protecting because this is the this is the problem with this.

01:54:34.360 This hurts everybody, including the little guy.

01:54:37.340 OK, this is not just the energy sector.

01:54:39.920 This is everybody, especially the little guy is going to get hurt on this.

01:54:45.060 Are you seeing any real forward momentum at all on protecting the little guy in the S and the G or is still are people still just worried about the E?

01:54:56.680 No, absolutely.

01:54:59.120 And we've pushed back on some of the S and the G. 0.99

01:55:02.040 And let me talk about that before I do.

01:55:04.240 Thank you for your partnership with David.

01:55:06.520 He is doing he's a warrior out there.

01:55:08.900 And and the work that you all are doing, Glenn, you deserve credit with the legislatures is important.

01:55:14.500 And Congress has a role to play and they're trying to push back through a resolution.

01:55:19.320 But the A.G.s, I speaking of warriors and you have an incredible one there in Texas, my colleague, Ken Paxton, he is co filing with me.

01:55:28.160 So so Texas, Louisiana, Jeff Landry and the Commonwealth of Virginia, Jason Meares and all these other A.G.s, they're the ones you call us off in the last line of defense. 0.54

01:55:37.820 And we are pushing back for the little guy, not just on the E, but on the S and the G.

01:55:43.200 There was not too long ago an insurance issue that came up, which they were trying to pass a law that would require the insurance company to violate numerous state laws in the guise of being more diverse.

01:55:56.920 Right. And and it actually would require the insurance company, this rule to consider race in terms of assessing risk and issuing insurance, which blatantly on its face violates a number of state law.

01:56:15.660 So we pushed back on that. So people think that the ESG is only the E.

01:56:20.520 There's definitely the S and the G part of it. And we'll continue as A.G.s to push back on all of that, because, as you said so eloquently, it hurts the little guy. 0.67

01:56:30.340 It hurts everyone. And I want to be clear, Glenn. We're not saying you can't invest your money, your own money.

01:56:36.920 Yeah. And social warrior and activist. We're saying when you have a fiduciary duty to invest other people's money, you can't do that.

01:56:45.360 Right. Right. Can you can you help me on one thing unrelated to this, Sean?

01:56:50.560 The rule went in two days ago now for the pistol braces and the ATF says if you have a gun with pistol braces, you have to apply for a tax stamp.

01:57:00.880 And, you know, that that's a year long process, if you're lucky.

01:57:06.200 But you are going to be a felon within one hundred and twenty days, even if you're in the process of the tax stamp.

01:57:13.940 And so they're saying, turn your gun in. Well, I know a lot of people that have these guns.

01:57:18.580 They were perfectly legal until they just decided to, you know, just change the regulation on their own.

01:57:27.220 And what what does the what should somebody do?

01:57:31.360 I know there's a lawsuit that was just filed yesterday here in Texas, but should we wait for this to play out in the court?

01:57:39.080 Should you what should you do?

01:57:41.820 Are we going to be felons if you have another assault on our Second Amendment rights?

01:57:47.380 And, you know, I just I was just at SHOT Show recently in Las Vegas and we were talking about this, you know, many good American companies and even foreign companies that that support the Second Amendment.

01:58:02.200 Here here is a I think a practical solution, Glenn, if I were you in any state where you have a good attorney general who understands the the Constitution,

01:58:16.760 I would reach out to their office and ask for advice and also see if they are joining us in being able to push back against these rules and encourage them to do that.

01:58:28.740 Because, as you pointed out, the average citizen is now caught in this no man's land and it's a it's a precarious place to be, my friend.

01:58:41.320 Thank you for for having me on.

01:58:43.680 I know it's crazy right now with the weather conditions, but I really so wanted to talk to you about the ESG and the Second Amendment issues and everything else going on there.

01:58:54.820 You are an incredible warrior champion for us, Sean.

01:58:59.260 I appreciate everything you're doing.

01:59:00.840 You're really one of the good guys.

01:59:02.360 And there's probably 15, 20 of them out there that are in as attorney generals that are just diehard.

01:59:08.920 And you are one of the real leaders of that group.

01:59:10.980 And I appreciate it.

01:59:11.940 And and good luck running against Mitt Romney in the primary.

01:59:15.160 Anyway, Sean Ray has the attorney general for the great state of Utah.

01:59:20.300 We'll talk again, my friend.

01:59:21.380 OK, maybe he may not talk to me after that.

01:59:24.020 Let me tell you about my Patriot Supply.

01:59:26.380 It is freezing cold here in Texas.

01:59:28.800 We haven't had a power outage.

01:59:30.480 Apparently, the solar panels are still working here in Texas.

01:59:33.680 But last time we had it, somebody at my Patriot Supply was listening to the program and I was worried about how are people cooking?

01:59:39.840 How are people heating their home in this weather?

01:59:44.540 And they started thinking about it and they came up with something that is really, really good, safe, effective and inexpensive.

01:59:54.700 And they call it Vesta.

01:59:56.460 It just came out.

01:59:57.780 They've been working on this for years now.

01:59:59.920 It came out from my Patriot Supply.

02:00:02.240 It'll let you heat your home or at least rooms of your home, cook your meals indoors.

02:00:06.760 No toxic fumes or smoke.

02:00:08.520 It runs on canned heat and it burns really super hot, yet it's totally safe.

02:00:14.340 You light the fuel and within really five minutes, it's hot enough to boil water and even heat a 200 square foot room to keep the family warm.

02:00:23.180 It does it without smoke, without toxic fumes and without any danger.

02:00:27.840 So go to preparewithglenn.com.

02:00:30.380 Save $30 on the Vesta while this first batch of supplies last.

02:00:35.200 They are really, really revolutionary and yet simple.

02:00:40.240 I mean, you kind of look at it and you're like, why didn't somebody think of this before?

02:00:43.660 Preparewithglenn.com.

02:00:45.040 Go there now.

02:00:46.800 Preparewithglenn.com.

02:00:48.180 Now, remember, this program was accused by everyone on the left and all media of being conspiracy theorists because we told you ESG will come to your bank and your retirement and everything else, and we were called conspiracy theorists.

02:01:13.140 Well, now, all GOP senators and Manchin as well are challenging Biden's ESG climate investment rule.

02:01:24.360 They are trying to shoot it down from the Senate.

02:01:27.400 We'll watch and see what happens.

02:01:30.080 There's another story as well.

02:01:31.960 Heroin is no longer a crime in Vancouver, and they're trying to legalize heroin and fentanyl all across Canada.

02:01:42.140 So no more problems are we going to be happening up in Canada, I'm sure.

02:01:49.500 And also, don't forget, tonight, usually our Wednesday night special, we have to rerun a special, The Farmland Wars, Global Takeover America's Land.

02:02:00.560 On Friday, we will be presenting our Wednesday night special this Friday at 5 p.m.

02:02:07.400 It's the COVID blueprint, the next crisis globalists will use to control you.

02:02:14.720 It's clear what it is.

02:02:16.220 We saw it during the World Economic Forum.

02:02:19.840 They're already setting it up.

02:02:21.200 What is it?

02:02:22.260 And how do you prepare?

02:02:23.280 That's all on Friday, 5 p.m., a special time this week for our Wednesday night special.

02:02:32.280 And I think that's it.

02:02:35.600 We have a big show for you tomorrow that you don't want to miss on radio.

02:02:41.200 We will see you there.

02:02:43.100 And we're actually going to be able to broadcast.

02:02:46.360 Even though the weather is supposed to be worse here in Texas, I think we got it down.

02:02:51.240 I think we got it down.

02:02:52.080 Oh, and I have to tell you about my Frontier experience.
