The Glenn Beck Program - Who’s REALLY the Most Extreme Political Group？

00:00:00.000 Hey, let me tell you about American financing.

00:00:02.380 You may not think it's a good time to buy a house, and maybe it isn't in your situation.

00:00:08.520 But I will tell you, now is a good time to get out of your high-interest credit cards.

00:00:14.100 The Fed just raised the rates yesterday.

00:00:18.040 Everybody on Wall Street is like, whoo, now it's over.

00:00:21.760 Now they're going to get inflation under control.

00:00:24.520 I will tell you that the rates on your credit card, probably about 19% right now, are going to go up.

00:00:30.120 They're going to go through the roof, and you don't want them.

00:00:33.340 Please consider a consolidation loan where you take all those credit cards,

00:00:39.800 and you apply it to the value of your house while your house still has this value.

00:00:45.520 You've probably gained 20% equity in your house.

00:00:48.740 American financing can help you understand this and guide you through it and make it really simple.

00:00:54.360 They work for you.

00:00:55.080 American financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.

00:01:00.560 got no room to compromise.

00:01:24.680 We gotta stand together, it's gonna survive

00:01:30.580 Stand up straight and hold the line

00:01:36.140 It's a new day, a new time to rise

00:01:42.080 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:49.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:53.080 Oh my, oh my gosh, I, what am I gonna, we slipped through a wormhole.

00:02:00.020 I mean, okay, I didn't start, I don't know about you, but I didn't start in this version of the universe.

00:02:09.960 In my universe where I was born, things made sense, and then I slipped through a wormhole,

00:02:15.000 and I went into a country and a universe where it was like, oh my gosh, everybody is insane.

00:02:20.760 Everything I thought to be true is just like, it's not, and it happened overnight.

00:02:26.300 So that's why I know I slipped through a wormhole, but I think I just did it again.

00:02:30.500 Because in the last version of this country that I was in, it was so weird.

00:02:36.660 Gavin Newsom was like, hey, you know, that's a woman, you've got it.

00:02:42.600 No, it's a dude, I was thinking, but I didn't realize I was in a, in another universe, a parallel universe.

00:02:50.120 This morning I get up, and Gavin Newsom is now saying, could we just play this?

00:02:57.600 It might not be shocking to you, but I slipped through a wormhole, and it's weird.

00:03:01.540 Listen to this.

00:03:02.200 Tell, they don't even believe in climate science.

00:03:04.920 Talk to me about being pro-life.

00:03:07.560 Spare me.

00:03:09.160 Your body, your choice.

00:03:12.520 It's a hell of a moment to live in.

00:03:14.940 Right.

00:03:15.680 Like you say, we will not be defeated.

00:03:19.060 We will stand tall, we will stand firm, and we will affirm the constitutional.

00:03:23.460 I mean, it sounds like the same place, right?

00:03:25.720 Currently constitutionally protected rights of women and girls, their reproductive rights and freedoms.

00:03:30.980 Right, right.

00:03:31.440 In California.

00:03:32.380 Right.

00:03:35.480 What, did we not get it?

00:03:37.020 He goes on to say that, quote, if men could get pregnant, this wouldn't even be a conversation.

00:03:45.300 In the, just yesterday I was in this place where men could be pregnant.

00:03:51.260 I've got to relearn everything again.

00:03:59.300 Relief factor.

00:04:00.100 I used to suffer from horrible pain all the time.

00:04:03.720 That was a different me in a different universe.

00:04:06.540 In that universe, I wasn't using relief factor.

00:04:09.720 Oh, man, I wish I could go back and talk to that guy.

00:04:12.840 Right?

00:04:13.820 The three-week quick start developed for you is $19.95.

00:04:18.220 It's a dollar a day like a trial pack.

00:04:20.080 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered relief factor.

00:04:22.860 70% of them go on to order more.

00:04:25.340 That says a lot.

00:04:26.180 Relief factor.com.

00:04:27.680 Call 800-4-RELIEF.

00:04:29.160 800-4-RELIEF.

00:04:30.360 Get the 1995 three-week quick start.

00:04:32.660 Again, at relieffactor.com.

00:04:35.080 Relief factor.com.

00:04:36.520 Or 800, the number four, relief.

00:04:38.940 Relief factor.

00:04:39.880 Feel the difference.

00:04:41.380 Oh, my goodness.

00:04:43.660 I don't know what to do.

00:04:45.680 Because yesterday, there was another signal that I'm in a place I don't recognize.

00:04:54.300 Some sort of parallel universe.

00:04:57.720 I'm listening to the president, and he's saying, hey, we've reduced the deficit, and I've reduced

00:05:04.940 to $350 billion in my first year in office.

00:05:08.780 Oh, okay.

00:05:11.640 So is this president reducing the deficit?

00:05:14.680 I mean, is this a good thing?

00:05:15.980 Or?

00:05:16.500 And then I realized, no, that's just a wordplay.

00:05:18.660 I didn't slip through a wormhole.

00:05:20.500 That's just him comparing what he's done to the worst year in American history for deficits.

00:05:26.680 So it's like, I couldn't think of anything else I could do to spend money.

00:05:33.120 It's a pretty fancy trick.

00:05:34.360 You make everybody stay home and not go to work, and then say you've lowered the deficit

00:05:38.880 when they go back.

00:05:40.060 Right.

00:05:40.240 That's wow.

00:05:41.200 That's what an impressive job you did when you were all arguing for no one to have jobs.

00:05:46.600 And now you can sit back and say, oh, well, now that people are back to work, things are

00:05:51.580 slightly better.

00:05:52.600 Right.

00:05:53.160 Congratulations.

00:05:53.960 Right.

00:05:54.180 And then yesterday, I hear Mayorkas say, no, this administration's policies didn't cause

00:06:01.360 border migration.

00:06:02.900 And I'm thinking to myself, so is it a coincidence that all of a sudden it gets really bad?

00:06:10.740 I mean, how do you explain that?

00:06:12.320 And then I realized we don't explain anything in this universe.

00:06:18.780 Logic?

00:06:19.700 What's that?

00:06:20.600 I'm sorry if I'm using that and you didn't slip through the wormhole with the rest of

00:06:24.320 us.

00:06:24.920 I'll explain logic some other time.

00:06:28.820 And then the head of the Fed, where I come from, the head of the Fed, his main job is to

00:06:35.860 keep inflation under control.

00:06:37.780 You know what I mean?

00:06:38.680 But apparently not in this one.

00:06:40.600 It's crazy.

00:06:41.260 You really should visit my my universe.

00:06:44.840 It's so much easier.

00:06:47.080 It really is.

00:06:48.500 Anyway, so the head of the Fed here in your universe, he came out yesterday and he said,

00:06:54.420 the economy is actually doing quite well.

00:06:59.360 And then I realized you people believe it.

00:07:03.100 See where I come from?

00:07:04.440 We wouldn't have believed any of that.

00:07:07.100 But there's a few of us.

00:07:08.960 I'm sure.

00:07:09.720 I'm sure there's a few of us out there that are like, no, Glenn, I was in the same wormhole.

00:07:13.760 I woke up in an America I didn't even recognize.

00:07:16.360 And I thought it was just America.

00:07:17.700 Then I realized it's the whole freaking world.

00:07:20.360 And I'm like, yeah, yeah, I understand, brother.

00:07:23.620 I understand.

00:07:24.700 But did we slip in yet a crazier universe when President Biden said this about the GOP yesterday?

00:07:38.720 What are the next things that are going to be attacked?

00:07:42.580 Because this mega crowd is really the most extreme political organization that's existed in American history.

00:07:49.600 In American history.

00:07:51.540 I mean, that would include the Klan.

00:07:55.900 Maybe you guys didn't have that here.

00:07:57.660 Where I come from, the Klan was an organization started by the Democratic Party.

00:08:03.620 I know it's crazy, right?

00:08:05.500 It probably didn't happen here.

00:08:07.560 But we had one and people were like, that didn't start with a Democratic Party.

00:08:12.220 No, no, no.

00:08:12.660 I have the documents right across the yard.

00:08:15.180 Well, I used to yesterday.

00:08:16.220 I don't know if they're still in that vault because I don't know.

00:08:20.160 Did I start that thing, you know, collecting American history here in this universe?

00:08:24.240 I don't know.

00:08:26.300 Gosh, I wonder who I'm married to.

00:08:29.660 Yeah.

00:08:31.140 Yeah.

00:08:32.340 I bet it's Blake Lively, right?

00:08:34.540 Sure it is.

00:08:35.440 Anyway, so here's the thing.

00:08:38.100 It was started by the Democratic Party.

00:08:42.060 And it was to stop white people and black people from pushing for a vote and a voice for black people.

00:08:54.620 Isn't that weird?

00:08:56.660 Isn't that weird?

00:08:57.040 Because that would be a political organization that was extreme.

00:09:01.200 Because, you know, they were hanging people from trees.

00:09:06.500 And I don't mean legally either.

00:09:09.280 Their only crime was they thought black people should have a vote.

00:09:14.460 So that was pretty extreme, you know.

00:09:17.720 But maybe it's just me.

00:09:20.080 Where I come from, we have this group called Antifa and the Black Block.

00:09:27.320 Man, you want to talk about extremists.

00:09:29.920 They want to destroy all of society.

00:09:36.380 They don't believe in freedom, really.

00:09:41.000 It's kind of like the Nazi party, you know, where the Nazis were like, we're against the communists because they want slavery.

00:09:48.180 You know, and then the communists were like, we're against the Nazis because they're crazy.

00:09:52.820 We'll kill people in camps.

00:09:54.580 And they both did the same thing.

00:09:56.200 It's kind of like that.

00:09:58.420 In fact, it's exactly like that.

00:10:03.680 In fact, Antifa were the people that were saying that about the Nazis and the communists.

00:10:11.440 You know, they were like, we're communists.

00:10:13.180 We don't like these fascists.

00:10:15.220 It was them.

00:10:16.500 That's when they started Antifa, you know.

00:10:19.520 And then you had Black Lives Matter, at least in my universe.

00:10:23.260 That was pretty radical.

00:10:25.060 I mean, in my universe, maybe you don't remember this.

00:10:29.720 It didn't happen.

00:10:30.400 Thank goodness if it didn't happen in your universe.

00:10:32.760 But they burned the country almost to the ground over a summer.

00:10:37.560 No, it wasn't like a week-long thing.

00:10:39.680 It happened the entire summer.

00:10:42.200 And they, in my universe, the Democratic Party, they were so radical, they were actually bailing these people out of jail.

00:10:54.080 And then there was this guy, George Soros, who was getting people, you know, and putting them into positions of, like, the district attorney.

00:11:04.440 And those district attorneys wouldn't prosecute anybody.

00:11:08.000 And they were all Democrats.

00:11:10.060 Democrats, it was so extreme and so weird.

00:11:17.040 Again, not my original universe.

00:11:19.580 Because in my original universe, again, the government would have said, I don't care who you are or why you're rioting, you can't burn cities down.

00:11:31.220 And they all would have gone to jail.

00:11:32.440 Whether they were white, black, left, right, didn't matter in my universe.

00:11:37.680 So, you know who's also kind of extreme?

00:11:42.920 The black Hebrew Israelites.

00:11:46.040 Yeah?

00:11:47.120 Right?

00:11:48.280 Really extreme.

00:11:49.680 Or the Weather Underground.

00:11:51.140 Did you guys have that or do you only have the Weather Channel?

00:11:55.000 Because the Weather Underground was crazy.

00:11:58.400 Or the May 19th Communist Organization.

00:12:01.140 Or, or, or, or.

00:12:02.560 Or, now, maybe here, Louis Farrakhan is like, I don't know, a scientist or something.

00:12:09.960 I don't know.

00:12:10.560 I just got here, apparently, last night.

00:12:13.040 But in my universe, the guy is a crazy terrorist.

00:12:18.540 Okay?

00:12:18.780 The guy is nuts.

00:12:21.960 Big following.

00:12:24.140 Very extreme.

00:12:26.500 Very political.

00:12:27.780 In fact, the last universe I was in, wow, this is weird.

00:12:32.960 The same people that were bailing people out for BLM, you know, that thing that started all the fires in my universe.

00:12:40.140 They also, like, lock arms with Louis Farrakhan.

00:12:45.220 So, that's really weird.

00:12:46.520 Do you guys have Twitter here?

00:12:49.120 Ah, that's another story.

00:12:50.200 It's crazy.

00:12:52.200 How about the Black Panthers?

00:12:54.600 They were pretty bad.

00:12:56.560 You know what I'm saying?

00:12:58.040 They were pretty darn bad.

00:13:01.240 Maybe you don't, maybe you don't have them.

00:13:04.000 Or ELF.

00:13:05.460 Or ALF.

00:13:07.260 Oh.

00:13:08.140 Animal Liberation Front.

00:13:10.020 We had that.

00:13:11.760 The Communist Party USA.

00:13:14.460 That's a pretty bad extremist organization.

00:13:19.000 Let me tell you something.

00:13:19.820 Let me tell you something.

00:13:21.980 This is so crazy.

00:13:23.300 And you may not understand it because you're apparently from this.

00:13:26.240 Unless we all slipped through a wormhole last night.

00:13:28.580 But it's crazy because where I come from, when you're standing up for a thing, I don't know if you have it here.

00:13:37.920 It doesn't appear so.

00:13:39.280 We have something called the Constitution.

00:13:43.080 And what that entails is a bill of rights.

00:13:46.900 And so, everybody has the same right.

00:13:49.300 You know what I mean?

00:13:50.180 And they don't even come from the government.

00:13:52.200 They come from, do you guys have God here?

00:13:54.460 Again, it doesn't seem like it.

00:13:56.040 But let me explain God at another time.

00:13:58.780 But we have a God that gives us rights.

00:14:01.980 And the government has nothing to do with it.

00:14:03.780 In fact, the Constitution says the government cannot do anything to harm these rights.

00:14:11.080 Okay?

00:14:11.440 It's a crazy idea.

00:14:12.920 You should look it up.

00:14:14.160 I don't know.

00:14:14.600 Maybe it'll be in a sci-fi book or something.

00:14:17.420 I don't know.

00:14:18.960 But we have these rights.

00:14:22.780 And then these people, they're mainly people that don't want anybody to have rights because they think they know best.

00:14:30.420 I know.

00:14:30.720 It's crazy.

00:14:31.680 And they're usually, you know, like, follow the science.

00:14:35.060 But they don't even do science.

00:14:36.900 You know?

00:14:37.060 They don't even, it's like these people had never even read.

00:14:41.780 And, you know, and then they're like, we've got to save the earth from people.

00:14:47.440 And they look at people like people are a disease, you know?

00:14:52.740 And they're like, this is the biggest problem.

00:14:55.200 We wouldn't have problems with people if we just didn't have people, you know?

00:15:00.180 And they don't recognize their people, too.

00:15:04.900 Oh, crap.

00:15:05.660 Are those people here, too?

00:15:07.060 Wow.

00:15:10.040 Well, in my universe, the ones who support the Constitution, they're not extremists.

00:15:17.200 Hmm.

00:15:18.560 When you say everybody should have the right to speak out, everybody should have the right to, you know, follow their own internal dictates.

00:15:30.080 You know, they should be able to go and we call it pursue your own happiness.

00:15:34.580 I know it's complex.

00:15:36.960 But we believe in that, where I come from, and those people weren't ever called extremists.

00:15:45.580 It was the people that wanted to destroy all of that that our president would have said is an extremist, you know?

00:15:54.200 But people standing up for the things that everybody believed, in fact, changed the entire world for the better.

00:16:01.740 You know, those people were just called normal.

00:16:05.960 It was the people who wanted to destroy all of that and the rights and say, like, you ready for this one?

00:16:15.080 Oh, crap.

00:16:15.540 I bet you have.

00:16:17.020 Do you have them here?

00:16:17.900 Because they were in the last universe, people were like, men can have babies.

00:16:23.140 You don't have that because, no, you don't have that because I just heard Gavin Newsom, and he just said, you know, men can't have babies.

00:16:29.360 So, relax a little bit because at least this universe is not as crazy as the one I was in yesterday, all right?

00:16:38.840 But those were the people that would be called extreme.

00:16:42.500 You know, people are like, there's no difference between a man and a woman.

00:16:45.940 I can't define what a woman is because I can, you know?

00:16:52.220 And what's crazy is I grew up around, like, 300 million people just in my own country that were like, yeah, that's a woman.

00:17:04.540 Yeah.

00:17:05.360 See her over there?

00:17:06.600 That's a her.

00:17:07.580 See that over there?

00:17:08.740 That's a dude.

00:17:10.000 Even when the dude was wearing makeup and stuff, you could still go, that's a dude.

00:17:16.000 Or, that's a dude, but she makes a fine-looking woman.

00:17:23.380 You know what I mean?

00:17:24.620 We could do that.

00:17:28.740 And not be called extremist.

00:17:32.880 Well, good news is, even in this universe, nobody's spying on you.

00:17:42.400 You know, the government's not tracking your every move or, you know, and you still do have freedom of, you know, I better check into this universe before I say any more.

00:17:59.560 Let me tell you now about the Tuttle Twins.

00:18:01.160 What truly motivates our kids?

00:18:03.520 They're growing up in a world we helped shape for them.

00:18:05.920 No, I did not shape this world.

00:18:08.040 Uh-uh.

00:18:08.680 I don't think so.

00:18:09.760 All sorts of different opportunities are opening themselves up to them.

00:18:14.320 Do they have, do they have just the tolerance for risk?

00:18:19.940 What is their risk tolerance?

00:18:21.280 That is the biggest thing to being able to live in a free society.

00:18:25.960 Otherwise, I got to have somebody protect me.

00:18:28.240 I got to, oh, I can't do that.

00:18:30.000 It's too risky.

00:18:30.820 It might hurt.

00:18:31.420 I might fall down and get a boo-boo.

00:18:32.960 You need to make sure your kids don't fear risk.

00:18:41.340 You know what?

00:18:43.460 What am I saying?

00:18:44.680 Now, maybe you don't have it here.

00:18:46.060 But back in the universe I came from just a little while ago, kids were like, I'm not risk averse.

00:18:52.100 I'll eat.

00:18:52.920 I'll eat tide.

00:18:54.300 Oh, man.

00:18:57.640 So, there is something to be said with crazy risks.

00:19:02.620 And then teaching your children, not that kind of risk, kids.

00:19:07.540 In fact, the Tuttle Twins now have a magazine out.

00:19:10.800 You get access to this magazine at a reduced price.

00:19:13.940 $49 for the entire year.

00:19:16.300 It'll inspire your kids.

00:19:17.860 Give them examples of other kids doing great things, like not trying to eat a Tide Pod.

00:19:24.780 You know what I'm saying?

00:19:26.340 You know, things that are good.

00:19:29.480 TuttleTwinsBeck.com.

00:19:30.860 Get the magazine.

00:19:31.620 $49.

00:19:32.440 12 months.

00:19:33.980 TuttleTwinsBeck.com.

00:19:35.860 10 seconds.

00:19:36.440 Station ID.

00:19:39.380 Oh.

00:19:40.880 Oh, my gosh.

00:19:44.220 I.

00:19:44.740 Holy cow.

00:19:47.660 Oh, this was shocking.

00:19:49.040 I just looked over, and I don't know if I need to introduce myself.

00:19:55.880 I may be a foreign traveler, but you look just like my executive producer in the universe I was in.

00:20:02.840 What was his name?

00:20:03.900 Stu.

00:20:04.440 Oh, I'm Steve.

00:20:05.800 Yeah.

00:20:06.480 But it's good to meet you.

00:20:07.960 He ate a lot of meat.

00:20:09.360 Oh, yeah.

00:20:09.940 No, it's definitely a different universe.

00:20:11.460 Yeah.

00:20:11.640 We're in a weird one here.

00:20:12.660 Yeah.

00:20:13.040 It's a weird one.

00:20:13.860 You're a vegetarian?

00:20:16.180 Yeah, crazy.

00:20:18.380 Oh, I can't wait to tell Stu about that when I get back, if I ever get back.

00:20:22.240 You won't.

00:20:23.760 Just so you're aware, you're stuck in this one forever.

00:20:27.420 Really?

00:20:28.040 Yeah.

00:20:28.480 It is a weird universe, because I really was told over and over again, the thing that Gavin Newsom said, for example,

00:20:35.780 that men can't get pregnant is the thing that gets you kicked off of social media.

00:20:41.560 That's weird.

00:20:42.480 That's what I thought happened.

00:20:43.880 That is weird.

00:20:45.160 That's what I think the Babylon Bee thought is what happened, right?

00:20:49.220 Right.

00:20:49.400 That's what I think Elon Musk thought is what happened.

00:20:52.420 That's why he spent $44 billion to stop it from happening partially.

00:20:56.100 You have Elon Musk, because our Elon Musk is evil.

00:20:59.540 He went dark.

00:21:00.380 Oh, really?

00:21:00.920 Oh, he went really dark.

00:21:02.720 He started building missiles.

00:21:04.240 Oh, really?

00:21:04.940 Yeah.

00:21:05.320 Okay.

00:21:05.540 This is definitely a different parallel universe.

00:21:07.520 He bought Facebook and then bought a cat.

00:21:11.140 And we're always seen with this cat on his lap, petting the cat.

00:21:15.440 And then he built missiles.

00:21:16.940 I don't want to go any further, because you've got a good Elon Musk here, I'm assuming.

00:21:21.860 Oh, yeah.

00:21:22.380 Yeah.

00:21:22.700 Well, I think so.

00:21:23.720 You know?

00:21:24.180 Yeah.

00:21:24.620 It's just a bizarre...

00:21:26.100 Like, how do they...

00:21:27.340 The lack of self-awareness is really amazing.

00:21:30.480 Uh-huh.

00:21:30.920 You know, you mentioned, I think, this story yesterday, where this advice that's saying,

00:21:36.140 hey, look, if this abortion thing goes away, just use horse pills.

00:21:39.460 And it's like, wait, what?

00:21:40.940 I know.

00:21:41.380 You guys are...

00:21:42.340 Weren't you guys the people telling us that the horse dewormer was...

00:21:46.380 That was the craziest idea in the world.

00:21:48.020 These people are actually going to vets to get something that is a dewormer for horses.

00:21:56.540 Now, listen, this is very dangerous.

00:21:59.120 We should silence all these people.

00:22:01.540 You can't just take horse medicine.

00:22:04.640 And now, it wasn't some guy that said it.

00:22:08.180 It was Vox.

00:22:10.240 Vox.

00:22:10.900 Vox or Vice?

00:22:11.920 I thought it was Vice, but it was one of the two.

00:22:13.540 It might be Vice.

00:22:14.260 They were the ones that were...

00:22:16.740 Like, here's how you do it.

00:22:18.280 Just go to the vet, and then you're going to have to add a little corn syrup to it and

00:22:23.380 press it into a pill.

00:22:25.800 What are you...

00:22:27.000 What?

00:22:27.760 Bizarre days.

00:22:28.240 No short-term memory.

00:22:30.820 None.

00:22:31.300 By the way, phone calls today.

00:22:32.740 It's your day to talk.

00:22:34.680 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:22:35.960 888-727-BECK is the number.

00:22:38.900 Yeah.

00:22:39.140 It's the final days before Mother's Day, and that means that time is running out for you

00:22:43.580 to get that perfect gift for those special women in your life.

00:22:46.360 My wife told me she bought something the other day.

00:22:49.140 Something that she felt was expensive.

00:22:51.520 So, God only...

00:22:52.160 I mean, can you imagine?

00:22:53.300 Oh, my gosh.

00:22:54.100 You just...

00:22:54.740 Congratulations.

00:22:55.620 You just won.

00:22:56.360 You just purchased the last derby horse.

00:23:00.060 But then she's like...

00:23:03.160 She says to me, she's like, whatever you don't get me anything for Mother's Day.

00:23:07.440 Oh, my gosh.

00:23:08.260 I don't want anything.

00:23:09.140 I shouldn't have bought this, and don't get me anything.

00:23:12.140 Oh, I love that, though.

00:23:13.080 I wish my wife would say that and then actually mean it.

00:23:16.000 Yeah, they don't mean it.

00:23:16.820 They don't mean it.

00:23:17.440 I told my son, this is a lesson for you, kid.

00:23:20.400 Every time they say that, always buy them a present.

00:23:23.000 And I can give you a recommendation of GenuCell.

00:23:52.100 It's a day for you to call in.

00:23:53.480 I especially want to talk to fellow travelers.

00:23:55.420 Anybody who feel like they slipped through a wormhole, call us now.

00:23:59.420 Your phone call's next.

00:24:03.640 888-727-B-E-C-K.

00:24:06.320 Today is your day to tell us what's going on.

00:24:11.060 I would like to hear these extremist views because...

00:24:16.760 Hang on.

00:24:17.480 I'm just checking with my executive producer.

00:24:19.700 In the universe I was in yesterday, this was a conservative talk show.

00:24:23.940 Still?

00:24:24.960 In this one?

00:24:25.780 Yes.

00:24:26.340 Okay.

00:24:26.760 You're...

00:24:27.120 Yes.

00:24:27.540 That's...

00:24:27.720 Okay.

00:24:27.960 And the audience is conservative.

00:24:29.620 All liberals.

00:24:30.000 That means...

00:24:30.500 All the audience filled with liberals.

00:24:32.100 Filled with liberals.

00:24:32.760 Yeah.

00:24:32.780 Well, I would like to hear, if there are any conservatives, what those extreme views are that you are pushing for.

00:24:41.060 Because the president said yesterday that the GOP is so radical.

00:24:47.600 Radical.

00:24:48.700 Now, I think radical is, for instance, the people who are now on the left sending people to the justices' homes.

00:24:59.920 putting out their address and saying, go to their homes for a protest.

00:25:05.140 I think that's radical, you know?

00:25:08.120 But I want to hear your radical views.

00:25:11.440 What is it that the GOP should be pushing for in your radical view?

00:25:19.680 Don't tell me it's like radical things like, shut down the Department of Ed.

00:25:24.640 Right?

00:25:25.380 I mean, that's so crazy.

00:25:27.500 So crazy.

00:25:29.060 Hey, we should actually live by the Constitution and not spy on people or have warrantless wiretaps or anything like that.

00:25:39.560 You guys aren't for that, are you?

00:25:42.900 By the way, again, another sign.

00:25:45.240 I'm in another universe.

00:25:48.720 Dave Portnoy vows to vote Democrat if Roe versus Wade is overturned.

00:25:54.060 Where I come from, conservatives would go, and?

00:26:03.980 Haven't really been counting on him.

00:26:06.720 Dave, I don't know.

00:26:07.760 He interviewed President Trump.

00:26:09.940 Seemed to be somewhat of a Trump supporter at times.

00:26:14.340 Seems to be kind of conservative occasionally.

00:26:16.920 You didn't slip through the wormhole with me last night.

00:26:19.440 Was he like Rush Limbaugh?

00:26:21.400 Was he a big conservative thinker?

00:26:24.520 I would not say that.

00:26:25.800 No.

00:26:26.080 I would not say that.

00:26:26.240 He was just somebody that, because where I come from, he was just somebody who was like, because where I come from, conservatives are so desperate for anybody to be on their side.

00:26:35.300 That if they're like, hey, you know, I liked family ties.

00:26:40.020 Oh, that had a conservative in it.

00:26:42.060 I love you.

00:26:43.380 I love you.

00:26:45.200 That is definitely in this universe as well.

00:26:48.080 In this universe too?

00:26:48.260 Okay.

00:26:48.660 I think that with Dave, he's like two abortions away from getting a free one.

00:26:53.060 Yeah.

00:26:53.320 So I think, I mean, he's basically best known for having sex with 21-year-olds over and over again.

00:27:00.700 So I don't think that Dave is going to be the leader on the pro-life movement for all his benefits.

00:27:06.880 He might be somebody who's like, I just want to keep my options open.

00:27:10.280 Yeah.

00:27:11.000 This might come in handy for me at some point.

00:27:14.360 Again, I like Dave generally, but, you know, I don't think this is going to be his strongest conservative issue.

00:27:22.380 Let's go to Craig in Texas.

00:27:24.120 Hello, Craig.

00:27:26.200 Hey, good morning, Glenn.

00:27:27.460 Hey.

00:27:28.100 You are still Glenn, right?

00:27:29.340 Yeah, I am.

00:27:30.300 I am.

00:27:31.160 Are you a fellow traveler?

00:27:33.080 Does this world make sense to you?

00:27:34.620 I am.

00:27:35.420 Yes.

00:27:35.740 Yes, I am.

00:27:36.820 I snuck in right behind you, though.

00:27:38.280 Yeah.

00:27:38.740 Yeah.

00:27:39.420 It's weird.

00:27:40.120 Just close my past.

00:27:41.520 Hey, Glenn, you know, in my universe yesterday, I think even Glenn back then might have had a perspective that may not have been fully in line with what's really, really happening.

00:27:55.640 Okay.

00:27:56.280 What was it?

00:27:57.120 What was it?

00:27:57.620 Um, it had to do with this, this Middle Eastern or those European war.

00:28:02.700 Uh, and the Glenn back I used to know had these big, big white boards that he put all the corruption up there and everything going on.

00:28:11.360 Yeah.

00:28:11.580 See, I, cause I, I came from the universe where it was a blackboard.

00:28:14.680 So it was a little different.

00:28:15.760 Oh, yeah.

00:28:16.780 I remember that.

00:28:17.320 Go ahead.

00:28:18.440 Everyone's just coming to this universe in different places.

00:28:20.780 But now, but yeah.

00:28:21.820 And then, and then he kind of took the default position, kind of aligning with Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats and, and Soros and stuff like that.

00:28:30.480 And maybe didn't step back and take a bigger perspective on things.

00:28:34.400 And also, here's my crazy concern.

00:28:35.760 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:28:37.560 So what was my opinion yesterday that aligned with Nancy Pelosi?

00:28:41.820 Uh, that Ukraine good, Russia bad.

00:28:45.880 You, you, you, you are, you are hearing what you apparently want to hear.

00:28:50.700 That's not been my position.

00:28:52.680 It is not my position.

00:28:53.920 In fact, I had a whole monologue ready yesterday that if I have time, I'll do it today where I have.

00:28:59.940 In fact, let me just pull it up here.

00:29:02.200 Uh, but, uh, and I was going to use it yesterday and didn't get time for it.

00:29:08.880 It was, uh, all of the people, uh, Nancy Pelosi and all of the people over in Ukraine saying crazy things like we're in it to win it.

00:29:20.300 I think that is wildly irresponsible.

00:29:24.200 Craig, was this a really clever call in your other universe?

00:29:27.380 Uh, no, no.

00:29:28.840 Oh.

00:29:29.480 What, what, what does it seem like you think it is?

00:29:31.700 Yeah.

00:29:31.880 What, what led you to believe that I was for, uh, you know, all in.

00:29:37.820 I, again, there, there hasn't been any discussion about the bio labs that I've heard at least.

00:29:43.660 You haven't been listening the whole time.

00:29:45.600 Well, I can't listen all the time.

00:29:47.200 No, I know.

00:29:47.700 So, I know.

00:29:48.420 So don't assume that we haven't done something because you haven't heard it.

00:29:53.220 I'm just saying that.

00:29:54.040 And I'd say it politely and nicely to you.

00:29:56.220 I don't, but.

00:29:58.540 I also believe here's my final crazy conspiracy theories.

00:30:01.520 Yeah.

00:30:01.780 President Trump did something before he left office called devolution.

00:30:05.740 And I think your research team really needs to take a look at it.

00:30:08.340 Yep.

00:30:08.460 It's devolution.

00:30:09.160 We are.

00:30:10.020 We got it.

00:30:10.820 We're looking into it.

00:30:11.580 I can't wait.

00:30:12.160 Thank you very much.

00:30:12.980 I can't wait to get, I hope, hopefully he can program the show in the next universe we go to.

00:30:17.840 Why are you so hostile?

00:30:20.620 Hostile?

00:30:21.040 I'm not, uh, well, maybe a little bit.

00:30:22.500 I just, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's exactly what you just pointed out.

00:30:25.340 I mean, you know, I don't listen to the show at all, but why are you doing the things on the show that I want?

00:30:29.940 Well, yeah, I don't know.

00:30:30.600 Listen, what are we supposed to do?

00:30:32.120 We're supposed to program it for people who don't listen?

00:30:34.400 Okay.

00:30:34.780 It's difficult to do that.

00:30:36.380 How, how could we possibly understand what you may or may not want when you don't actually pay attention?

00:30:41.360 I was just in a meeting yesterday and I get, I get a briefing every morning, uh, and what is, what's in that?

00:30:50.440 About 50 stories, would you say, Stu?

00:30:53.060 Yeah, at least, yeah.

00:30:54.180 And it's, it's all of my producers, all of my contributors, me, Stu, everybody.

00:31:00.800 And we scour the internet for 24 hour period, 21 hours after the show and we put it together and I get it about four 30 in the morning.

00:31:12.760 And that's the first thing I do is read that.

00:31:16.180 And then I select from there a rough, these are the things I want to talk about.

00:31:22.180 These are the things that we need more investigation on, et cetera, et cetera.

00:31:25.540 Then I come in and I'm usually here by 6 AM and I spend at least two hours going over that list again and paring it down today.

00:31:37.180 Out of the 50, I probably have 10 stories.

00:31:41.660 And I was just meeting with somebody yesterday and I said, I think we should release this.

00:31:47.100 I, for people who want to read what I'm reading, but you have to be an adult and know that all of it is, some of it's raw data.

00:31:55.360 Some of it is just, you know, I don't know.

00:31:58.700 A producer saw this story on devolution and should we look into it?

00:32:07.060 Okay.

00:32:07.780 I don't know if that's right.

00:32:09.440 I don't know where I am in the midst where I found pee ads.

00:32:15.480 And I don't understand it, but we're looking into it.

00:32:19.280 I don't know if it's right or not.

00:32:20.880 But we've been talking about can we release that for smart people who can actually not just jump off a roof and see what I'm looking at and see where we're headed and possibly add to it in their life or in our work.

00:32:42.800 And I think that's important because there's so much that we don't talk about on this program because I only have three hours.

00:32:53.180 That used to be.

00:32:54.220 Do you remember in the day, Stu, when it was like, do you remember when we were at ABC?

00:32:58.540 It was like our first or second show at WABC.

00:33:00.840 And I had to do four hours and I thought I was only scheduled for three.

00:33:07.440 And I ended up, you remember how the show ended?

00:33:11.060 Like the last four minutes?

00:33:12.460 What did I do?

00:33:13.160 I believe you read from a book that you had been reading on the train.

00:33:16.740 Right.

00:33:17.000 Like just word for word, just read.

00:33:18.860 And had nothing to do with anything.

00:33:21.580 I was just completely out.

00:33:24.100 Well, and the phones went out too.

00:33:25.420 Yeah.

00:33:25.760 Because you were like, oh, well, let's do some extra phones.

00:33:27.400 And then the phones went out and we had burned through all of our material.

00:33:30.760 Yeah.

00:33:31.000 And this is just when you had started.

00:33:32.540 So you were not, I mean, honestly, good enough at that point to be able to fill.

00:33:37.100 Still not.

00:33:37.680 Yeah.

00:33:38.760 And then you went on the air and just started reading whatever book you were reading on the train.

00:33:43.700 And then at the end, you're just like, and I think you understand what that means.

00:33:48.180 We'll see you next time.

00:33:49.460 And it meant nothing.

00:33:50.880 It meant nothing.

00:33:51.380 Anyway, now I could honestly fill probably eight hours, nine hours every day, just going over the news and talking about it.

00:34:04.860 Oh, yeah.

00:34:05.580 So.

00:34:06.360 But I mean, look, we had the conservative movement has been working on Roe versus Wade for 50 years.

00:34:13.440 And there was a leak this week that it looks like it may be overturned.

00:34:17.980 I'm sorry we didn't get to your pet story today.

00:34:20.840 No, that's a longer term story.

00:34:22.600 But anyway.

00:34:23.380 Yeah, it might be.

00:34:24.320 But like, again, like we've spent weeks and weeks and weeks talking about Ukraine and Russia.

00:34:30.360 And while and I will tell you the main story I sent in today for consideration, and I don't even know if it made the last 10 lists.

00:34:36.920 Go for it.

00:34:37.320 But was a story about how I find it to be incredibly troubling and concerning that we are providing intelligence.

00:34:47.840 Intelligence.

00:34:48.540 Yes.

00:34:48.960 To.

00:34:49.320 I didn't know you were the one who sent that in.

00:34:51.740 But I couldn't wait to talk to you about it.

00:34:54.800 We're not going to get to it today, but we are now.

00:34:57.340 But I couldn't wait to show you that article.

00:34:59.340 So I was like, Stu, this is exactly what we've been talking about.

00:35:01.900 We are providing intelligence to Ukrainians to target Russian generals in real time.

00:35:09.520 And we're announcing it.

00:35:11.980 Well, and this one, it's in the newspaper.

00:35:15.380 Yeah.

00:35:15.540 And obviously, it's been confirmed through sources.

00:35:18.160 You know, our official response was, we don't get into that, which is better than their normal response, which is, yes, we did it.

00:35:24.660 Here's a big press conference to celebrate how we're sending weapons over there.

00:35:29.940 But there is a like there's a line, right?

00:35:32.080 There is.

00:35:32.580 If you believe, you know, that we're going to send, you know, weapons to Ukraine for them to defend themselves against an invader, that is one line.

00:35:41.240 There is another line when you are providing real time intelligence to target individual members of the leadership of the Russian military.

00:35:49.560 Hey, they're on maple and elm right now.

00:35:51.380 Fire.

00:35:52.380 What's the difference between this and us in a war?

00:35:55.600 It's just us pressing the button.

00:35:57.200 It's the only difference.

00:35:57.920 And so that was a big part of what we wanted to talk about today, how that is going down a road that I don't know how it doesn't end in a in an escalated.

00:36:06.360 Yesterday.

00:36:07.120 And I'm worried about it.

00:36:08.000 And I yesterday.

00:36:09.200 Remember, I had Jack Carr on.

00:36:10.580 Yeah.

00:36:10.700 And I said the fiction writer.

00:36:12.040 And I said yesterday, this is this is a real problem, Jack.

00:36:15.360 I don't know.

00:36:17.120 I don't have anything to pin on except a lot of things that lead me to believe there's something else going on.

00:36:25.620 We it's almost as if our administration wants this war.

00:36:30.100 And if you missed yesterday's podcast, go back and listen to the part with Jack Carr.

00:36:34.040 He was in the third hour.

00:36:36.000 It was incredible.

00:36:37.500 He gave information I've never heard.

00:36:40.240 You know, I've heard that they're having a hard time, you know, replacing the soldiers that have died.

00:36:45.500 They don't have any soldiers.

00:36:47.260 One of the reasons why they went in, and this is well known to our Pentagon, is because they need young people.

00:36:54.580 Everybody's an alcoholic and, you know, over 50.

00:36:59.020 And the next step for Russia, if this gets worse, is they they're going to have to start drafting people up to 50 years old.

00:37:07.640 They don't have an army anymore.

00:37:10.500 And I'm sorry, but I just don't.

00:37:13.580 There's something wrong here.

00:37:15.600 There's something wrong.

00:37:16.780 I pray that I'm wrong.

00:37:20.500 But the worst thing we can do is to get into.

00:37:23.960 Why am I saying that?

00:37:24.880 I'm sitting now.

00:37:25.380 I'm saying this just for this one listener who's like, why do you love Putin?

00:37:29.880 I you didn't say you weren't making out with him last week.

00:37:34.120 Wait a minute.

00:37:34.660 You didn't.

00:37:35.840 You never.

00:37:36.180 Hey, let me tell you about rough greens.

00:37:41.500 If your dog is a health nut, get rid of him.

00:37:46.200 Seriously, get rid of that dog.

00:37:47.440 There's no dog that should be a health nut.

00:37:50.460 Anyway, my dog doesn't have any say in it.

00:37:53.600 He doesn't.

00:37:54.200 I give him the food and then he eats it or he doesn't eat it.

00:37:57.740 Now, we've tried a million different dog foods to get him to eat.

00:38:01.540 He just didn't like any of them, so didn't know what to do because he can't talk.

00:38:08.040 Then I met a doctor, a vet, and he said, is your dog licking your licking his paws?

00:38:14.160 And I'm like, yeah, well, he needs this.

00:38:15.960 Is he doing this?

00:38:16.780 Yeah, he needs this.

00:38:18.440 Go look at his poop in the yard.

00:38:20.160 OK, I think we've gone too far now.

00:38:22.560 OK, but I did.

00:38:25.040 Anyway, I started this.

00:38:27.160 The guy who actually started rough greens and he said, give this to your dog.

00:38:31.540 If he'll eat it, you're going to see a huge change in your dog.

00:38:34.600 And I have.

00:38:36.200 And if he'll eat it, he loves it.

00:38:39.620 He snarfs it.

00:38:47.160 By the way, it's not a dog food.

00:38:48.520 It's a supplement you put on the dog food that makes them like the dog food.

00:38:52.300 It's like dog crack.

00:39:07.040 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:39:24.940 We're going to take your phone calls.

00:39:26.680 More of your phone calls coming up in just a minute.

00:39:28.340 888-727-B-E-C-K.

00:39:34.380 Also, I want to talk to you a little bit about what's happening with diesel fuel.

00:39:40.380 You know, if you've ever been up to New York, you look over to New Jersey and you're like, what a hell hole that is.

00:39:46.700 And one of the reasons is because it's just oil tanks everywhere.

00:39:51.420 You know, those huge tanks.

00:39:54.620 The diesel fuel and jet fuel almost empty now.

00:39:58.320 Almost really empty.

00:39:59.980 We have a severe problem, America, with diesel fuel.

00:40:05.020 And you should probably plan for this.

00:40:09.120 I don't know exactly how to plan for it.

00:40:11.540 But food, energy, it's going to be a problem.

00:40:16.840 Getting things to the shelves is going to be a problem.

00:40:20.660 Gas or diesel is up again today.

00:40:23.760 Well, what they're saying, too, is what's happening is that India is now buying all of the Russian oil or a lot of it at steep, steep discounts.

00:40:32.360 Yeah.

00:40:32.780 And then they're refining it into diesel and jet fuel and then selling it to everyone else anyway.

00:40:37.740 So, like, all the people who were like, oh, we're betting Russian oil are winding up buying it through India in a refined fashion anyway.

00:40:45.060 I'd rather have India get that, you know, that profit than.

00:40:49.080 Yeah, sure.

00:40:49.860 But it's just amazing how this winds up.

00:40:54.020 It's almost impossible to do this stuff.

00:40:55.980 There's only a few places that have it.

00:40:57.580 Yeah, yeah.

00:40:58.280 You know, the United States has the largest deposit in the world.

00:41:03.660 But why talk about that?

00:41:05.940 Back in a minute.

00:41:08.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:11.340 Was that a guy's real hat?

00:41:13.440 Do we know?

00:41:14.220 Was that a...

00:41:14.820 Yes.

00:41:15.060 Was that the picture he turned in?

00:41:17.280 Like, let me wear this hat and look surprised.

00:41:20.700 I will say this.

00:41:21.320 You will not find that hat on Grip6.com.

00:41:24.900 That is not a hat that they sell.

00:41:27.140 It's not a hat that they will ever sell.

00:41:29.360 Grip6.com slash do is the place to go to get the best belts, wallets, socks.

00:41:35.140 Grip6, great products made in America from a small company in Utah that sells not only all over the United States, but all over the world.

00:41:43.960 People want this stuff.

00:41:45.180 But it's all sourced right here in America.

00:41:47.360 A lot of companies tell you that it can't be done.

00:41:49.200 Well, Grip6 has figured out a way to do it.

00:41:51.720 They're really cool stylish belts, really cool wallets as well.

00:41:55.480 Socks that are really warm, but not ultra thick.

00:41:58.020 And even the wool they use is sourced in America, which is really difficult for a lot of companies to pull off.

00:42:04.800 But Grip6 has done it.

00:42:05.860 They love this country and they make great stuff.

00:43:07.220 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:12.400 It is.

00:43:12.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:15.760 Oh, you're going to get heavy doses of both today.

00:43:17.920 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:19.960 It's Thursday.

00:43:21.580 Today is a national day of prayer.

00:43:24.760 We have a lot to be grateful for.

00:43:29.060 One of the biggest problems in America is we're not grateful for anything.

00:43:33.900 Today is a national day of prayer, a day that we should reflect on all of the things we've been blessed by.

00:43:41.200 Even the worst of us, the worst of us, the people that are, and I mean that as the poorest among us here in America, the poorest among us are still living a better life than those in Europe besides, you know, the king and the queen.

00:43:58.100 We have been so greatly blessed to be born at this time with what we're facing and to be equipped with everything that we need because we are.

00:44:13.560 Maybe we should recognize that today in the national day of prayer.

00:44:17.820 You're one of the millions of Americans who are living their lives in frequent and also just debilitating pain.

00:44:27.520 Maybe this is an answer to your prayer.

00:44:30.440 Just make it stop.

00:44:31.880 70% of the people who take Relief Factor and just try it for three weeks.

00:44:37.120 Go on to order more month after month.

00:44:39.920 Now, this is, and this is why I didn't think it would work.

00:44:43.460 It works on inflammation.

00:44:44.580 Oh, shut up.

00:44:48.560 Ibuprofen 800, that should do the number.

00:44:50.920 That won't do squat for me.

00:44:54.320 But Relief Factor is different because Ibuprofen only goes after your inflation in one way.

00:45:02.420 Relief Factor attacks inflammation four different ways.

00:45:06.980 Instead of just picking one, they said, let's try them all.

00:45:10.200 And that's why I think it works for me.

00:45:12.220 70% of the people who try it find Relief.

00:45:16.020 Please, just try it.

00:45:17.980 Might be an answer to your prayers.

00:45:19.560 ReliefFactor.com.

00:45:21.520 ReliefFactor.com.

00:45:23.020 Call 800, the number 4, Relief.

00:45:25.240 800 for Relief.

00:45:27.240 Or ReliefFactor.com.

00:45:28.720 Feel the difference.

00:45:29.720 So, Governor Tate Reeves, he was on the TV show last night with me.

00:45:35.320 He is the governor of Mississippi.

00:45:38.240 That is the state that filed the court case.

00:45:43.040 He was asking, the state was asking for 15 weeks.

00:45:46.880 Nothing, no abortion after 15 weeks.

00:45:50.560 The abortion zealots went crazy.

00:45:53.060 That's outrageous.

00:45:54.680 How could you possibly, by the way, so you know, France is at 14 weeks.

00:46:03.100 So, Mississippi would be less conservative than France.

00:46:09.520 And most of Europe.

00:46:10.860 Most of Europe is like 14 to 12 weeks.

00:46:14.280 Okay.

00:46:14.640 Yep.

00:46:14.820 And the overwhelming majority of the American people oppose abortion at 15 weeks.

00:46:20.400 Yes.

00:46:21.120 And, you know, it's really interesting.

00:46:22.980 You will read things from, like, the New York Times.

00:46:25.000 And they're not lying.

00:46:27.240 See, there are different kinds of lies.

00:46:30.340 One is just an open, flat-out lie.

00:46:33.300 They know they're lying.

00:46:35.080 It's clear they're lying.

00:46:36.740 And what they're saying is not true.

00:46:39.100 And then there's the lies of omission.

00:46:41.600 And so, today, in the New York Times, the lie was 65% of Americans say abortion should be legal.

00:46:52.140 Yeah.

00:46:52.660 They say they don't want Roe versus Wade overturned.

00:46:55.520 Correct.

00:46:56.140 They want it to be legal.

00:46:57.840 Well, yes.

00:46:59.460 But with restrictions.

00:47:01.460 And more restrictions than we have today.

00:47:03.540 That's an important part of this.

00:47:04.820 So, I mean, where is this debate supposedly living, right?

00:47:06.840 They want it moved toward what you would say is the conservative position.

00:47:11.840 And the conservative position, which is constantly maligned, is much more sane and much more in line with the American people than the liberal position.

00:47:21.400 And, by the way, so far, the conservative movements from states have been in line, in fact, more radical than France.

00:47:34.780 Okay?

00:47:35.380 I think of that.

00:47:37.060 More radical than France.

00:47:39.580 Okay.

00:47:40.140 So, anyway, the governor signed a proclamation on April 25th.

00:47:45.120 And he said,

00:47:46.240 Our nation and our people have been blessed by the Lord with tremendous freedom and prosperity.

00:47:51.220 In recognition of this, I proclaim May 5th as a day of prayer.

00:47:54.960 I hope you join me in giving thanks to God and praying for peace for our nation, our neighbors, and our world.

00:48:00.480 I can't tell you enough how important fasting, humility, and prayer is.

00:48:13.120 We were losing the Civil War.

00:48:16.860 We were losing to the South.

00:48:18.540 In fact, we were getting creamed by the South.

00:48:21.340 And it drove Abraham Lincoln to his knees.

00:48:24.800 And he just begged, okay, what do you want?

00:48:28.080 And it came to him, the only thing, even if we have to burn the entire country to the ground, the only thing that matters is the end of slavery.

00:48:41.840 He got it.

00:48:45.300 And he put into place the Emancipation Proclamation.

00:48:48.780 He declared that this war was a righteous war because it was about freedom.

00:48:53.780 And then he issued a proclamation of fast prayer and humiliation.

00:49:02.260 It's a remarkable document.

00:49:04.720 You just look for Abraham Lincoln Civil War Proclamation.

00:49:09.420 It was passed by the Senate.

00:49:11.620 And people actually did it.

00:49:13.400 And because we dedicated ourselves to things that are universally true and said, I don't care about winning, even if everything is destroyed, this is an eternal goal.

00:49:29.080 That's what's made the difference in our country's history.

00:49:33.240 And it is time that we humble ourselves.

00:49:37.560 When, you know, I've got a story next hour about Levi's.

00:49:41.220 Levi's is lecturing us about workers' rights.

00:49:46.620 But I've got the stats on Levi's.

00:49:50.380 How are you making that with all of those employees you have in China?

00:49:55.480 Why is it that all of these people refuse to look at the business they're doing in dictatorial regimes that are enslaving people?

00:50:10.780 They participate gladly.

00:50:13.940 And then they lecture us.

00:50:16.140 Now, I'm sorry.

00:50:17.920 I'm one for taking the beam out of your own eye first.

00:50:21.700 But that would be Levi's saying, we cannot do business with countries that enslave their workers.

00:50:32.180 What do you say?

00:50:36.000 Humiliation is what we do when we can reflect, realize that nothing we have done, nothing that we have gained.

00:50:47.740 Came from us.

00:50:49.060 My entire first half of my career was built by me.

00:50:54.820 And I know it because it wasn't very successful.

00:50:59.560 And it wasn't until I completely surrendered and went, geez, I don't know my butt from my elbow.

00:51:07.580 I don't know anything.

00:51:10.420 And I've screwed everything up in my life.

00:51:12.620 And I just, I'll do it your way, whatever you want.

00:51:16.260 And I don't care if it means I live under a bridge.

00:51:19.680 I'll do whatever you ask me to do.

00:51:23.180 That's when my life changed.

00:51:24.900 And not just success, but happiness.

00:51:27.560 We have every, every earthly reason to be happy in America.

00:51:34.420 We should be the happiest, most non-suicidal people on the planet.

00:51:40.620 And yet, for some reason, we're not.

00:51:44.460 Perhaps we're worshiping the wrong God.

00:51:47.040 All right, let me go to Jay in West Virginia.

00:51:50.680 Today is the day of the week that you can call in and talk about anything.

00:51:55.560 Jay, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:51:58.540 Hey, thanks for putting me on, Glenn.

00:52:00.780 You bet.

00:52:01.080 So, you were talking about parallel universes and time warps, that sort of thing.

00:52:07.760 Yes.

00:52:07.980 I've kind of gone through some of that myself.

00:52:10.460 I was living in China for a number of years.

00:52:12.580 And I guess after the lockdowns and everything, we decided it was a good idea to move back to the United States.

00:52:18.640 And I just remember thinking, I can't wait until I can get on the Internet and speak my mind, you know, whatever it is.

00:52:24.860 Because I, you know, certainly couldn't do that in China.

00:52:27.820 And I come back to the United States and I can't.

00:52:31.640 How weird is it?

00:52:33.080 When did you leave the United States to go live in China?

00:52:36.360 Oh, gosh.

00:52:37.060 I've been going to China off and on for a long time.

00:52:40.780 I'd actually gone over there originally in 2007.

00:52:42.900 But it was about 2015 when I went over there permanently and started living over there.

00:52:49.300 It's like a completely different world since then.

00:52:51.840 I don't know what happened to the United States I left behind.

00:52:54.540 But coming back has been quite a shock.

00:52:57.860 So tell me about China.

00:52:59.540 Well, China here is the new model.

00:53:02.060 So tell me what life is like over in China.

00:53:05.560 Well, at first, you know, it was just fine.

00:53:08.620 I mean, you kind of know what you're not supposed to say.

00:53:11.180 I'd had a friend that had told me to, you know, start like, oh, you need to help people that are coming over here because he'd been ripped off.

00:53:17.020 So I get on and I start telling people on the Internet, you know, some ideas of how to avoid being ripped off.

00:53:23.660 And we'd started a business.

00:53:25.680 It's actually surprisingly easy to start a business over there.

00:53:29.220 At least it was.

00:53:29.920 Things have kind of been the government's been tightening things down a bit.

00:53:33.440 Sure.

00:53:34.260 Not quite the same now.

00:53:35.680 But I always thought, you know, going over there, oh, America, you know, this is the best place for business.

00:53:40.740 And I think it probably still is.

00:53:42.520 It just, for whatever reason, was a lot easier for us over there.

00:53:46.160 It's just you have to be careful.

00:53:47.260 I remember when the pandemic started is when I really started to notice the big differences.

00:53:52.460 You know, not only that we got locked down, they had these loudspeakers that were blasting out this message about if you spread misinformation, you know.

00:54:01.240 And I remember thinking when I heard that, like, that's crazy.

00:54:04.680 You know, if I spread rumors or misinformation, I'm going to get fined or jailed.

00:54:09.560 Here we are.

00:54:10.660 I come back.

00:54:11.260 And, yeah, they're saying the exact same things.

00:54:13.760 Yeah.

00:54:14.040 Sorry.

00:54:15.000 Sorry, Jay.

00:54:15.780 Maybe you can help bring the spark back to us and remind us.

00:54:19.460 Thank you for your phone call.

00:54:20.440 Right now, yesterday, the president called us extremists, said the GOP is the most extreme political organization in our history.

00:54:33.200 Well, that's forgetting about the Democrats' little organization called the Klan.

00:54:38.160 And when you talk about the things we've warned about and all been concerned about together over the past few years, that the government would figure out a way to say, well, you know, maybe just basic conservative beliefs are extreme.

00:54:53.780 Yeah.

00:54:54.020 Well, here they are telling you in advance that they consider Republicans to be the most extreme party in the history of our nation.

00:55:04.220 So when they do put these restrictions in, who are they going to apply them to?

00:55:07.700 So I want to ask you, because he describes another group of conservatives that I don't recognize, because I know my views are, can we return to common sense and can we return to the Constitution?

00:55:23.000 That's what I want.

00:55:25.540 Catherine in New York, you're a radical extremist.

00:55:29.620 Why?

00:55:31.660 Well, hi, Glenn.

00:55:33.740 Hi.

00:55:34.000 Well, my radical, I am so extreme.

00:55:40.620 I want the government to work the way it's supposed to.

00:55:43.880 I want the Constitution to work the way it is supposed to and the way it was intended.

00:55:48.160 And I am so sick of these leftists.

00:55:50.900 Every day there's something new that they just keep trying to push on us, push on us and push on us.

00:55:57.120 I just want, we can't give up.

00:55:59.900 We just cannot give up.

00:56:01.320 We got to be stronger than them because they are not going to stop.

00:56:04.920 It's going to be something else tomorrow.

00:56:06.780 Mark my word.

00:56:07.920 Yeah.

00:56:08.600 No, I think we all know that now, Catherine.

00:56:12.180 You know, asking for the government to to just operate within the limits of our instruction manual.

00:56:22.740 That's what the Constitution is.

00:56:24.600 Our Declaration of Independence is here's what we want to build the highest ideal.

00:56:30.740 We want to have this as a society.

00:56:33.680 It's just the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.

00:56:37.040 Just read that.

00:56:39.120 That's our mission.

00:56:41.120 Now, how do we accomplish it?

00:56:43.200 Well, this is how this system is going to work.

00:56:46.620 But the people are going to have to stay vigilant because if you want to have that as your goal,

00:56:52.960 then you really have to watch the machine we're building.

00:56:56.380 And here's the machine.

00:56:58.120 We're not even using that owner's manual anymore.

00:57:01.580 We don't even know it.

00:57:03.020 Most people don't even know the Bill of Rights, which is the addendum to the owner's manual that just said that that is the owner's manual for dummies.

00:57:13.220 If it were written today, because remember, the Bill of Rights came two years later.

00:57:20.820 1789 Constitution.

00:57:23.100 1791 is the Bill of Rights.

00:57:25.060 And the Bill of Rights was the honestly the people in Washington going, geez, you know, they're going to be stupid people who are just not going to get this.

00:57:33.680 And I think there's already stupid people growing in this government who don't understand.

00:57:39.300 So the the booklet for dummies is the Bill of Rights.

00:57:44.820 Government can never violate these things.

00:57:49.520 All right, Diane, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:57:52.460 Hey, Glenn, my radical view is I'd like for elections to be safe and fair again.

00:58:01.800 Yeah, because they stole our freedoms from us.

00:58:04.780 And it affirmed everything that I thought.

00:58:07.560 And now I know it to be true.

00:58:09.800 Which?

00:58:10.660 What do you what is cheating?

00:58:13.280 The cheating cheating.

00:58:14.960 OK, and and election.

00:58:17.480 And how do you know it?

00:58:19.180 How do you know it to be true?

00:58:21.000 Because I went to well, I've been reading and I went to Tinesh's movie last night, The 2000 Mule.

00:58:29.440 Yes, powerful.

00:58:30.540 And it was.

00:58:31.540 Oh, my gosh.

00:58:32.660 Yeah.

00:58:33.560 No.

00:58:34.160 I had no idea.

00:58:35.540 So let me ask you this, Diane.

00:58:37.020 Are you someone are you someone who says.

00:58:40.940 This was this was this was there was cheating that was going on and I know it and I, you know, I want to reverse the election.

00:58:52.360 Or are you somebody who says this seems to be a very good case and I would just like a group of people and I don't think they exist, but a group of people that all of Americans could trust to then go look at that information in an open forum and have an investigation and a hearing on all of the actual facts.

00:59:19.840 Which one do you want?

00:59:22.440 Wow.

00:59:23.320 Wow.

00:59:24.400 I think reversing the election would be too good to be true.

00:59:29.060 And it's that'd be just too much for everybody.

00:59:32.420 I don't even though it'd be the best thing for America, I suppose, because we wouldn't be in this position that we are in now.

00:59:40.740 Well, I don't think it would be the gas prices and food.

00:59:43.260 I agree.

00:59:43.660 I agree with you.

00:59:44.640 One hundred and ten percent on those things, but I don't think it would be the best thing for America, because America can only function when we all believe in the system.

00:59:55.080 And the only way we're going to get there is have the evidence presented in a fashion of court and have a real trustworthy investigation of all of these things.

01:00:11.680 You know, we didn't have the information that Dinesh Souza just put out, but he even says this isn't proof.

01:00:19.620 This is proof that it should be heard, looked at.

01:00:24.020 And if it is entirely what we believe it to be.

01:00:28.300 Then things need to change.

01:00:30.320 We need to repair this together, but I'm not sure how many people there are that actually want to do that.

01:00:39.820 And mainly in the political class, everybody likes to keep things just a little shady in case it falls their direction.

01:00:49.720 You heard me talk about Mike Lindell and the inventor of my pillow and how his pillow has given me a good night's sleep.

01:00:56.600 I don't wake up with a crick in the neck, which I used to always do.

01:00:59.880 I don't roll and toss and turn all night.

01:01:02.400 I love it from the pillows to the Giza dream sheets.

01:02:00.920 Station ID.

01:02:01.460 You know, is it, is it extreme to say, you know, there should be limits on abortion and extreme cases we can argue back and forth.

01:02:28.000 And I don't know if we have a lot of discussion to do before we're going to agree on life.

01:02:35.140 But in the meantime, let's let's make this safe and rare, not something to shout.

01:02:42.720 Is it so extreme to say the kids get to be that these kids get to be born to walk barefoot in the grass, to drink water, maybe even swim in it.

01:02:55.660 To grow up, fall in love, fall out of love, and then back in again.

01:03:02.000 The luckiest to have babies themselves.

01:03:05.640 They'll be our neighbors, our students, maybe even our president.

01:03:09.480 They may take us to Mars, cure cancer, or finally invent the beam from Star Trek.

01:03:14.800 That would be nice.

01:03:15.420 God may talk to them, may even work with them.

01:03:20.320 They may plant trees, come up with new ideas, may comfort us when we're old, maybe even in death.

01:03:26.460 Their mothers will know them, maybe even love them.

01:03:29.200 Try to make their fathers proud, or maybe they won't.

01:03:32.580 Maybe they'll just be average or unloved.

01:03:35.520 They'll be the burden society has told us they will be.

01:03:38.100 But just maybe they'll cure cancer, and they'll drink water, and they will be.

01:03:47.600 Is that an extremist point of view?

01:03:56.740 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:03:58.720 Left is already stepping to the plate and trying to intimidate businesses that aren't standing up against the potential repealing of Roe versus Wade.

01:04:05.840 I mean, it is crazy.

01:04:07.180 I've got some stories for you next hour on this.

01:04:09.260 It's nuts.

01:04:10.900 The sort of behavior that has been pretty much par for the course for the left, and there are a few companies that will stand, and one I can guarantee will never do that, is Patriot Mobile.

01:04:23.720 Because I know they stand in favor of life.

01:04:26.740 They spend their own money pushing and helping organizations push for life.

01:04:33.780 And they offer the same nationwide coverage as the major carriers.

01:04:37.440 So you get the same great service with the peace of mind knowing that your money is not supporting, you know, anti-speech, anti-life, and anti-liberty organizations.

01:04:48.340 Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget.

01:04:51.640 You're going to save money.

01:05:33.620 Welcome.

01:05:35.920 Hey, Glenn.

01:05:37.320 How are you, sir?

01:05:40.580 Did we lose you?

01:05:42.440 I think we lost him.

01:05:44.520 Mark?

01:05:45.480 All right.

01:05:45.860 Let's go to Dick in Alabama.

01:05:47.980 Hello, Dick.

01:05:49.920 Good morning, Glenn.

01:05:51.180 Real quick.

01:05:52.240 Short on time for you.

01:05:54.000 Two things.

01:05:54.780 I want to make one a prediction about the leaker at the Supreme Court.

01:05:58.640 And this is strictly a guess on my part.

01:06:00.740 I believe it was the newly appointed Supreme Court justice who leaked the information.

01:06:08.400 Not sure she would have had access.

01:06:11.200 She might have.

01:06:11.780 I mean, who knows?

01:06:12.440 She might have been also meeting with a biologist.

01:06:15.360 But anyway, go ahead.

01:06:16.140 But that's just, I'm just saying.

01:06:19.340 But you and I, the public will never know.

01:06:21.480 So they'll, if it was, then they'll put it on the back of someone down the line there,

01:06:27.280 you know, a stool pigeon to take the rap.

01:06:29.300 The other thing I wanted, the real reason I called you is I had dinner with a friend of

01:06:33.360 Now, I'm almost 69 years old.

01:06:35.160 I've got a friend I've been in business with for years, a long time ago.

01:06:39.660 He's struggling right now.

01:06:41.200 I'm retired.

01:06:42.000 He can't retire because of economic reasons.

01:06:44.980 But I had dinner with him the other night.

01:06:46.320 He lives in Atlanta.

01:06:47.040 Now, I live here in Mobile, Alabama.

01:06:49.000 He believes he is so liberal.

01:06:51.220 He's always been a liberal person.

01:06:53.220 He's originally from New Jersey.

01:06:54.780 His family still lives in New Jersey, but he and his wife live in Atlanta.

01:06:58.360 Anyway, we had dinner.

01:07:00.540 And he believes that Trump was in collusion with the Russians, that everything that Joe

01:07:07.460 Biden and the Democrats say is true.

01:07:10.440 And I guess and I guess the message I'm trying to give to you is, is he's in a shell and he

01:07:16.200 won't come out of that shell.

01:07:17.420 Right.

01:07:17.720 He said, I guess you listen.

01:07:18.940 I guess you just listen to Fox News.

01:07:20.620 And I said, OK, I said, that's not just who I listen to.

01:07:23.680 But let me ask you, who do you listen to?

01:07:25.820 And he said, oh, I listen to NPR.

01:07:27.680 I said, there's your problem right there.

01:07:29.300 You need to broaden your sources.

01:07:32.380 You're just living in a shell and you don't want to believe anything.

01:07:35.900 You don't want to listen to facts.

01:07:37.540 And then we got to talk about the election.

01:07:39.220 He said, I guess you let you get you believe the election was was rigged.

01:07:42.600 And I said, yes, as a matter of fact, I do.

01:07:44.520 And of course, he blew.

01:07:45.680 He tried to blow me out of the water on that.

01:07:47.220 And then I said, well, have you do you know a guy named Dinesh D'Souza?

01:07:50.880 Oh, no, I've never heard of him.

01:07:52.400 And what I'm trying to convey to you and your audience, Glenn, is these people live in a

01:07:56.260 shell and they don't want to come outside that shell.

01:07:59.680 So, whoops, did we lose him?

01:08:01.760 Dick, I agree with you entirely.

01:08:05.140 However, I want to give the caveat just to be fair.

01:08:08.840 A lot of conservatives do, too.

01:08:11.420 You know, I read the New York Times every day.

01:08:13.640 I read the Washington Post.

01:08:16.300 I read things that I know I disagree with.

01:08:21.100 And and I'm looking not necessarily for things that will open my eyes on.

01:08:28.000 Oh, my gosh, we've been lied to by, you know, our our leaders.

01:08:33.480 I'm open to that, but that's not what I'm reading for.

01:08:36.640 I'm reading for an understanding of how people are viewing things.

01:08:41.860 If we don't read the other side, then we become ignorant as well, because we're hearing ours.

01:08:49.300 We believe it, but we can't say, no, wait, hang on just a second.

01:08:53.200 I know because you're reading the New York Times.

01:08:55.680 So you saw this story, this story in this story.

01:08:57.980 But what these stories left out, but they mentioned in one line.

01:09:03.940 We have the expanded part of that that changes the meaning of this story.

01:09:09.520 We have to, you know, that that's why I said about the the election.

01:09:16.620 We cannot watch Dinesh Souza's movie and then go to our friends and say, see, it was stolen.

01:09:26.840 You say you believe that 2016 Donald Trump stole the election, right?

01:09:33.660 OK, I don't. But I believe that Dinesh D'Souza has made a very compelling case that the election was stolen in this particular way.

01:09:45.780 I'm not going to stand here and tell you I'm the authority because that's not our system.

01:09:51.960 Our system is the people standing up.

01:09:55.180 You have a different reason for it than I do.

01:09:57.360 But you probably also said that, you know, George Bush stole the election and then it was Donald Trump that stole the election.

01:10:06.160 Any time a Republican wins, you guys say they stole the election.

01:10:10.420 So why don't we do this?

01:10:12.980 Why don't we a investigate what happened?

01:10:16.260 You've already investigated 2020.

01:10:18.440 Now, you may not want to look at it, but all of the facts are there.

01:10:23.240 Even the New York Times says, OK, so the facts are there.

01:10:27.860 That didn't happen. And they spent four years investigating it.

01:10:32.040 And now we're investigating the investigators because it looks like they were in cahoots with Hillary Clinton.

01:10:39.040 But let's wait till all the facts are out.

01:10:42.540 Now there are some new facts on the table about this election.

01:10:45.800 I'm not talking about going back.

01:10:47.340 There's nothing in the Constitution, nothing in the Constitution that will cure this.

01:10:53.520 So we're facing something new.

01:10:56.320 But here's what I promise you.

01:10:58.040 And I think you know this, too.

01:10:59.920 If you have your set of facts and I have my set of facts on the election, we're never going to unite.

01:11:08.580 So how can we push our elected leaders on both sides to have an open, open hearing with all of the facts on it?

01:11:23.460 Because I will accept if it is a true, fair, open, no secret meetings, an open expose on all of this where legitimate people are bringing legitimate evidence up.

01:11:40.980 Because I want it fixed because I don't want a Republican president to rig a system and I don't want a Democrat to rig the system.

01:11:51.400 I don't want Elon Musk to rig the system.

01:11:53.960 I don't want Google to rig the system.

01:11:55.620 I don't want Russia to rig the system.

01:11:58.060 And we live in a world where technologically there's no reason for this.

01:12:07.640 This is what we need.

01:12:10.980 And there is a there's a story today that is coming from the Daily Beast.

01:12:16.940 Conspiracy theorists are already freaking out about the next pandemic as part of the so-called Great Reset.

01:12:23.740 Now, let me just I want to go through this next week, but let me just give you part of this.

01:12:28.140 In late 2020, conspiracy theorists started telling everyone who'd listen about a sinister plot called the Great Reset.

01:12:36.100 The global elites of the World Economic Forum had either co-opted or outright concocted the COVID-19 pandemic, they falsely claimed.

01:12:44.780 Then world leaders and technocrats, almost all of whom are supposedly active agents or compromised puppets of the forum, adopted what conspiracy theorists see as a senseless and draconian policy like lockdowns.

01:12:59.780 Ostensibly to curb the spread of the virus, but really to destabilize and traumatize the globe as the pandemic wound on this deluded line of thinking went that the WF and its acolytes would exploit chaos and fear to lock in and expand the totalitarian powers.

01:13:19.900 They gained under the guise of protecting public health.

01:13:24.880 OK.

01:13:26.220 I could take this paragraph apart in 700 different ways.

01:13:32.560 But here's the point I want to make on this today.

01:13:37.060 A, that's not what everybody is saying.

01:13:40.280 That's a small group and you've conflated a whole bunch of different things.

01:13:45.380 I mean, there are conspiracy theorists, again, who are still pushing that Trump stole the election and colluded with Russia.

01:13:56.240 We now know for fact that's not true.

01:13:59.720 There are still people who believe that Bush stole the election.

01:14:03.860 Even the New York Times own investigation proves that's not true.

01:14:09.020 But this article, by taking this snarky tone, only makes conspiracy theories stronger.

01:14:22.000 Because if you really want to debunk something, you need to say, look, we looked at this.

01:14:28.680 Here's what's true.

01:14:30.100 Here's what's not.

01:14:31.340 Yes, the WEF was involved in a in a pandemic study called event 201.

01:14:41.080 But that doesn't give you evidence that this was planned.

01:14:48.280 But see, by saying there was no lab link, the set of the science is settled.

01:14:54.260 When you know the science isn't settled on that, and by mocking anybody and shutting anybody down, that only gives credence in people's mind to see they are hiding something.

01:15:08.900 I bet it's because they planned it at event 201.

01:15:13.080 No.

01:15:15.080 No.

01:15:15.680 As the pandemic wound on, this deluded line of thinking went that the WELF and its acolytes would exploit chaos and fear and lock in and expand the totalitarian powers.

01:15:28.380 Well, isn't that never waste an emergency?

01:15:34.940 Isn't that the stated goal of people?

01:15:38.800 Isn't that exactly what Klaus Schwab said?

01:15:42.060 But by demeaning the WELF and demeaning and saying there are no bunch of nobodies, then why does everyone in power and why does every prime minister and president, why does the president of China speak at all of their global conferences?

01:16:03.720 If they're nobodies, they're clearly not nobodies.

01:16:08.140 Now, is what they're doing going to actually bring this to pass?

01:16:17.160 Well, let's look at the evidence.

01:16:20.160 I lay it all out in my book, and I only use them as sources, no conspiracies.

01:16:27.960 And it's left for you to decide because the media is not doing their job.

01:16:35.300 You know why we don't have faith in our institutions?

01:16:38.820 Because we don't have anyone actually standing guard to keep those institutions honest.

01:16:47.620 That's why when you say the biggest culprit in the downfall of America may just well be the media, it's probably true.

01:16:57.280 We all know people are people.

01:17:03.200 The best people will steal.

01:17:05.680 The best people will steal if they're encouraged to feel injustice and if no one's watching them.

01:17:15.140 And if somebody gets away with it and then they're actually praised for it, other people will go, well, jeez, if he's doing it, why aren't I?

01:17:26.060 I feel stupid.

01:17:27.680 Why am I not doing it?

01:17:29.000 That should be the job of the media and our churches and our own moral self.

01:17:40.060 But every institution is up for grabs right now.

01:17:45.980 And that's why no solution can come from jamming it down people's throats.

01:17:51.520 We have to have open and honest debate and open and transparent investigations and let the chips fall where they may.

01:18:03.920 I said yesterday, and I would encourage you to say this out loud right now, if it's found out that it is a conservative that leaked this document from SCOTUS, I am just as pissed and I want the same ramifications, which is disbarment.

01:18:25.660 If they happen to be an attorney, a clerk, I want disbarment and I want some sort of internal punishment.

01:18:35.020 It's not against the law, but I want that person.

01:18:38.260 We need shame, at least on that.

01:18:41.320 And I say that if it's a person on the right or a person on the left, it was wrong.

01:18:48.580 Those are the lines we need to start drawing because this isn't about left and right.

01:18:53.220 It's about right and wrong, and there is no right and wrong anymore, at least up at the upper levels.

01:19:00.640 They're still right and wrong in our own families.

01:19:03.580 You know, right and wrong.

01:19:07.200 Those are our lines.

01:19:09.760 Back in a minute, American financing countries facing a severe slowdown.

01:19:14.240 We move closer and closer to recession.

01:19:16.600 Everything costs more lately, and it's not going to get better anytime soon.

01:19:20.380 So you need to make sure that you are healthy in your financial position, both yourself and your family.

01:19:27.640 It is so important.

01:19:28.700 Please get a free mortgage review from American financing.

01:19:32.960 Now, look, they might be able to help get you a better loan, a better rate, whatever on your mortgage.

01:19:37.340 But also remember that your home value has increased by 20 percent.

01:19:43.580 That number is going to come down.

01:19:47.480 But what I'm recommending that you at least consider is if you have a whole bunch of credit cards that you're paying 20 percent and you're not able to pay those things off right away, that 20 percent is going to become 25, might even become 30.

01:20:03.280 And you're never going to get out from under the eight ball right now, even if the interest rate was 5 percent, you can take that 20 percent interest rate, turn it to 5 percent and pay those credit cards off.

01:20:15.620 That's a good use of the money that you now have gained just through invisible numbers because your value of your house has gone up.

01:20:23.500 Take advantage of this now, please, at least consider it.

01:20:28.720 Call American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

01:20:37.720 American Financing, NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

01:20:46.500 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:20:53.500 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:21:05.980 We have a lot yet to cover.

01:21:08.980 I want to share with you something that is coming from New York Magazine that will help you understand why I say we have to read the other side because you will understand them.

01:21:21.280 And if you don't understand how they view life, you're not going to be able to even have a conversation with people.

01:21:30.580 And hopefully more and more people on the left are starting to wake up and go, you know, I can't trust CNN.

01:21:37.200 And we know that's true because nobody's watching CNN.

01:21:41.460 Nobody is watching CNN.

01:21:43.460 So, uh, can we make an inroad?

01:21:47.900 Yes.

01:21:48.780 But we have to know who they are.

01:21:51.540 Also, uh, I've got a thing or two to say to Levi's.

01:21:58.600 Are your genes talking to you again?

01:22:01.020 Oh, yeah.

01:22:02.140 Oh, yeah.

01:22:03.200 It's in my genes.

01:22:04.880 And I'm going to let it out.

01:22:07.500 Uh, we're going to talk about, uh, Levi's and abortion and a little thing that is used to be called hypocrisy.

01:22:18.480 We'll do that coming up in just a second.

01:22:20.220 We'll do that coming up in just a second.

01:22:37.500 We'll do that coming up.

01:23:07.480 All you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:12.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:17.460 Hello, America.

01:23:18.600 It is Thursday.

01:23:19.920 Today is the day I'm opening up the phones.

01:23:21.780 I want to hear your voice.

01:23:23.080 We got a lot of people have some really great stuff to talk about.

01:23:26.940 We're going to open up the phones next.

01:23:28.580 888-727-BECK.

01:23:30.640 Going to try to get to as many as we possibly can.

01:23:33.120 And I do have a message for Levi's.

01:23:37.680 And I'll do that in 60 seconds.

01:23:40.960 Okay.

01:23:41.440 First thing you need to learn is the Fed is not your friend.

01:23:44.760 They're not even trying to hide the fact that inflation is here and it's here to stay for a while.

01:23:49.600 Meanwhile, what are they doing to make it better?

01:23:52.760 Oh, we're, you know, selling the U.S. Treasury bonds.

01:23:55.600 Yeah, to whom?

01:23:57.140 Well, we're getting it off our balance sheet.

01:23:59.120 Oh, okay.

01:23:59.980 Okay.

01:24:00.440 Good.

01:24:00.900 Good for you.

01:24:01.580 And, you know, we printed, you know, like that $7 trillion loan that we gave to Japan without anybody really knowing about it.

01:24:09.840 Okay, that helped us out a lot.

01:24:11.800 That helped us out a lot.

01:24:13.000 Yeah, but we're going to raise interest rates.

01:24:14.600 Oh, okay.

01:24:15.860 Now they're saying, they came out yesterday and said, the economy is actually in really good shape.

01:24:21.080 Is it?

01:24:22.580 Look, they've already done the damage.

01:24:25.620 I don't know if they can bring in what's called a soft landing.

01:24:29.440 It's never been done before.

01:24:30.980 But, you know, hey, men never could have babies before now.

01:24:38.060 Wait a minute.

01:24:38.960 I want you to call Goldline right now because Goldline is having a special on Mint State 62 $5 Gold Indian Head Coins.

01:24:47.680 Now, I want you to ask them specifically why I buy coins like this because this is what I invest in.

01:24:55.600 And it's very simple and important.

01:25:00.980 Very important grade.

01:25:03.220 You can also ask how you can get a free half ounce platinum coin and a free two ounce silver maple flex bar with the purchase of two boxes of these gold Indians.

01:25:11.960 Don't wait.

01:25:13.300 Call now.

01:25:14.200 866-GOLDLINE.

01:25:15.460 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

01:25:18.340 Levi Strauss and company, according to the Blaze, on Wednesday, joined the long line of corporations releasing statements affirming abortion rights and pledging to pay the travel expense of employees seeking an abortion.

01:25:34.620 In a statement titled protecting reproductive rights, a business imperative, the apparel company said the business leaders are responsible for protecting the health and well-being of our employees.

01:25:51.440 And that includes protecting reproductive rights and abortion access.

01:25:57.200 Oh, you know, Levi's, most of America was done with you when you came out and said, we want to be the uniform of the revolution.

01:26:09.720 And you were showing pictures of Antifa.

01:26:13.180 No, no, that was special.

01:26:14.620 That was great.

01:26:15.260 That was very American of you to do.

01:26:18.460 We know this is fraught conversation.

01:26:21.000 It's not something we enter into lightly.

01:26:22.880 You're from San Francisco.

01:26:27.620 You don't have a problem saying this, but women make up 58 percent of our global workforce.

01:26:34.060 And in recent years, numerous employees have expressed to leadership their growing alarm over the rollback of all forms of reproductive care.

01:26:43.100 Well, OK, so, wow, 58 percent of their global workforce.

01:26:51.040 Now, I know because I did everything I could to save a great company called the Cone Mills.

01:27:02.840 They were the ones that made the original 501, the original denim that is really the reason why you put on a pair of jeans now and it doesn't feel the same as those original because they were made by the Cone Mills.

01:27:15.020 They went out because, yeah, Levi said, let's go to China.

01:27:21.020 OK, all right.

01:27:21.980 Well, it was the thing back then.

01:27:24.140 Everybody was doing it.

01:27:26.120 And, you know, if everybody's jumping off a bridge and landing in China, well, why don't we do it, too?

01:27:33.220 But they're very concerned about reproductive rights and the rights of women in their global workforce.

01:27:42.660 OK, all right.

01:27:44.860 So they still do have, you know, employees here in America and they they still have some plants here in America, some people that are making stuff for Levi's.

01:27:55.080 They have 12 mills and and manufacturing plants here in America.

01:28:01.000 That's 12.

01:28:02.000 There's about a thousand that are employed in these plants.

01:28:06.600 Now, that's not all Levi stuff, but they're making some of the stuff for Levi's in 12 different places.

01:28:13.900 You know, if you go to Levi Strauss dot com, you'll see that they say we make our products all over the world.

01:28:21.980 We're a global product.

01:28:22.980 We make them in America, Japan, Italy, China and other countries.

01:28:30.200 Well, I decided I'm going to dig in a little bit more because one of the things I really don't like is hypocrites.

01:28:38.060 Now, conservatives have said a long time.

01:28:40.700 The only ones that really can be hypocrites are those who are trying to do better and they don't always make it.

01:28:47.640 All right.

01:28:47.940 So let's just say, let's be fair.

01:28:52.600 It's not fair to call them hypocrites because maybe they're trying to be better and they just haven't.

01:28:59.320 For instance, you know, I don't agree with slavery, so I don't make my products in China, but I do make my products in Bangladesh.

01:29:13.520 Bangladesh and those are kind of slave wages.

01:29:16.180 Yeah, I know.

01:29:16.660 But at least they don't make it in China.

01:29:19.240 OK, so they care about reproductive rights.

01:29:22.380 So they have 12 plants here in the United States, seven in Japan, 14 in Italy.

01:29:30.900 Wow.

01:29:31.400 That's not very much.

01:29:33.560 What do they have in China?

01:29:34.880 The last country, they say, before other.

01:29:40.840 Well, they have 150 plants in China.

01:29:45.060 That employs well over 100,000 people.

01:29:50.940 100,000 in China.

01:29:52.960 1,000 here.

01:29:54.460 Now, if you were to make a determination of priorities based on that information, what would you conclude?

01:30:00.260 Well, I would say maybe it's just a flu.

01:30:04.000 I mean, where else are they making stuff?

01:30:05.920 And, you know, Pakistan, that's great for women's rights.

01:30:09.180 You know that.

01:30:10.300 I mean, the only place it could be possibly better is the stability now, to quote the Biden administration, the stability of Afghanistan.

01:30:18.960 But they also make it in Bahrain and Bangladesh.

01:30:22.660 They make them all over the world.

01:30:25.720 Nothing even like Pakistan.

01:30:27.280 They have 19, so they only have 12 here.

01:30:30.640 But in Pakistan, they have 19, where women are treated so well.

01:30:35.020 Now, if they were doing it in Pakistan, but they weren't doing it in China, I'd be like, okay, that's, you know, people calling, you know, hypocrite because they're not doing everything, you know, in totally.

01:30:49.020 But they've made progress because they didn't go to China, the worst offender that has forced abortions until recently when they're like, oh, you have to have more children because we're running out of children.

01:31:04.820 You know, that doesn't seem like, you know, I don't want Mao standing in the bedroom with a gun to my head going, you're going to have children.

01:31:14.900 You're going to make love tonight or, you know, you're not going to make love.

01:31:19.720 I don't want Mao in my bedroom.

01:31:22.720 Levi's doesn't seem to have a problem with it.

01:31:24.880 Okay, so they'll do business where they had a one-child policy and now a policy that I don't know, maybe you need eight.

01:31:36.240 But the government is definitely, and this is a very carefully chosen word, dictates what your reproductive organs are going to be doing this month.

01:31:49.220 And 58% of their global workforce, well, a good portion of that global workforce and seemingly, I mean, it could be as much of as half of their entire workforce is in China.

01:32:09.820 Huh.

01:32:13.980 That doesn't make Levi's a hypocrite.

01:32:16.560 That makes Levi's a liar.

01:32:22.260 They're lying to you.

01:32:25.220 You can't do business with China at this scale and say, I care about reproductive rights.

01:32:35.520 This is something we care passionately about.

01:32:38.500 No, no, you're a San Francisco progressive.

01:32:41.500 Uh, you've backed all of the radicals, including, uh, Antifa.

01:32:49.760 You have a different understanding of what liberty is.

01:32:53.220 And I have a different understanding of what products are.

01:32:59.540 I like Levi's.

01:33:01.080 I used to because they were good.

01:33:03.220 They had great denim.

01:33:04.160 I don't wear Levi's anymore because you suck.

01:33:06.540 But I really am motivated to tell everybody what liars you are on top of it.

01:33:14.920 Not only do you suck.

01:33:16.360 Not only have you stood for things that are not American when you were the quintessential American brand.

01:33:21.800 Uh, not only did you stand for things that weren't American, now you're lying to us about the importance of women when, yeah, they're dropping babies in the rice patties while they're working.

01:33:35.120 Right, Levi's.

01:33:36.400 I got it.

01:33:38.220 Okay.

01:33:38.840 Let's go to Delwin in Utah.

01:33:41.220 888-727-BECK.

01:33:43.280 Hi, Delwin.

01:33:43.760 Hello, Glenn.

01:33:46.420 Glad to be on.

01:33:47.540 Thank you, sir.

01:33:48.260 I'm just finishing up my milk chores.

01:33:51.180 Uh, hey, uh, the thing I wanted.

01:33:54.040 I love it.

01:33:55.680 Yes, sir.

01:33:56.440 Hey, uh, um, I'm a radical because I attended our convention and everybody's asking what's happening to Utah.

01:34:05.340 Uh-huh.

01:34:06.420 Well, what's happening to Utah is deceit.

01:34:09.500 And we have two candidates in District 1 that, um, are running against one candidate that's being very, is very conservative, being supported by Rob Bishop.

01:34:23.000 Um, and one of, one of the candidates, Blake Moore, is being groomed by Romney.

01:34:29.020 Yeah.

01:34:30.000 Romney is a, Romney's a real problem in Utah.

01:34:33.540 And, uh, he has a lot of very influential and very powerful and, uh, people who write big, big checks, uh, because, you know, they want to be inclusive with everyone.

01:34:44.620 Where, I'm sorry, I don't know when the Constitution of the United States became hate speech.

01:34:52.540 I don't know when it became radical to stand up, especially in Utah.

01:34:57.420 May I remind you, a state that was built by people who were chased out of the United States.

01:35:03.200 And their first act, the first act, when Brigham Young got there, was to hold a parade where, and I can't remember which was which, but the women carried the Constitution and the men carried the Declaration of Independence.

01:35:21.600 And the message was, do not blame this on the system.

01:35:26.080 People are people.

01:35:27.420 But we believe in these principles.

01:35:30.400 Hmm.

01:35:32.280 So, those people, those people are now, some of them, treating people who believe in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, those people are radicals.

01:35:48.220 Dangerous radicals.

01:35:50.200 I'm sorry.

01:35:51.340 Just as I know in my religion, you know, I, I can't tolerate and stand around, um,

01:36:00.400 when evil.

01:36:01.520 Is there, it chases away the spirit.

01:36:03.620 Okay?

01:36:03.920 Can't, can't participate in it.

01:36:05.720 Well, I believe the same thing is true with the, uh, spirit of destruction of the family, of the Constitution, of the Declaration of Independence.

01:36:18.800 Sorry.

01:36:19.280 Sorry.

01:36:20.360 And, you know, I, I, I just don't know, uh, how people could, you know, cozy up to Planned Parenthood and abortionists and, well, that's just my job.

01:36:38.360 No, I know what my job is.

01:36:40.740 I know what my job is.

01:36:42.420 And I'm not, uh, I'm, I'm very careful to make sure that I, I limit the number of people who are actively against the teachings of my faith.

01:36:57.920 Okay?

01:36:58.580 I don't, I don't associate with people who are actively trying to pull, uh, you know, the gospel apart.

01:37:08.580 Because in my faith, there's some consequences on that.

01:37:10.860 Or are there?

01:37:11.920 But anyway, I'm with you, uh, Delwyn, uh, thank you for milking the cows and thank you for doing everything you can to expose who these people are that are around Mitt Romney.

01:37:25.600 Mitt Romney is a danger to our Constitution.

01:37:29.840 And I say it for this one reason alone.

01:37:32.380 When you have a guy whose grandfather was the president of the church at one point, and he's only saying the things that the president of the church said, and he's actually standing and defending them, Mike Lee.

01:37:54.780 When that guy's called a radical and dangerous, you've got a serious issue.

01:38:03.480 And Mitt Romney is doing everything he can to stop Mike Lee from being elected.

01:38:11.060 Everyone in Utah needs to know it.

01:38:17.020 You make your own decisions.

01:38:18.860 It's up to you as a state.

01:38:19.980 But I have to tell you, I'm not sure.

01:38:23.660 I'm glad I didn't bet on Utah.

01:38:25.800 Because I'm not sure Utah is going to stand.

01:38:29.200 Have you looked at your governor?

01:38:32.440 Sorry.

01:39:45.940 Do you have any passion on that?

01:39:59.840 It seemed like you put a lot of thought into that one for just a random question coming in.

01:40:05.040 It seemed like you had some...

01:40:05.860 Well, I haven't had a lot of...

01:40:07.800 I mean, it's been a lot of thought over a long period of time.

01:40:12.420 You hadn't talked about it that extensively.

01:40:14.360 Yeah, it seemed like almost like there's an explosion.

01:40:16.760 Yeah.

01:40:17.120 You know, like a dam breaking of something.

01:40:19.300 Yeah, sometimes I'm the lucky one because I have a place to vent and so many people don't.

01:40:26.720 No, very, very true.

01:40:28.040 I don't really feel better now that I've vented, you know?

01:40:34.500 Really?

01:40:35.060 Yeah.

01:40:35.380 Don't know what would make me feel better.

01:40:36.820 I got something for you.

01:40:38.680 Are you ready?

01:40:39.600 Today, we have to, for the first time, I believe, ever, is a new product for you to try today.

01:40:48.880 Oh, don't know.

01:40:50.040 This is the day.

01:40:50.760 Yeah, I've been telling you about this.

01:40:51.740 This is the day.

01:40:52.180 Oh, no, not today.

01:40:53.740 No, it's a good...

01:40:54.320 This is going to be fun.

01:40:55.440 No, it's not.

01:40:56.140 It's fake steak.

01:40:59.100 It is...

01:40:59.840 Okay, you know what this is?

01:41:01.060 Like, it's bologna, just thicker.

01:41:05.040 No, it's...

01:41:05.280 That's what it's got to be.

01:41:06.620 I don't know what it is.

01:41:07.740 I mean, fake bologna.

01:41:08.140 So, it is a company.

01:41:09.440 This is my understanding.

01:41:11.160 You know, we've tried Impossible Burgers on the air.

01:41:13.920 We've tried a bunch of these.

01:41:14.680 This is steak.

01:41:14.960 This is a filet.

01:41:16.080 Like, it's supposed to be a filet.

01:41:17.740 Now, I don't know if it actually tastes like a filet or...

01:41:21.800 It will to you.

01:41:22.540 It'd be like fake wine to me.

01:41:24.560 I haven't had wine with alcohol in it forever.

01:41:27.000 But one of the products that they never really have created is a...

01:41:30.840 Steak.

01:41:31.340 It's like a knife and fork steak.

01:41:33.240 Sure.

01:41:33.380 Like, you know, that's just not something...

01:41:35.020 They could do, like, chicken and cheese steaks, and they can do burgers pretty well at this

01:41:39.920 point.

01:41:40.840 I don't know about steaks.

01:41:41.700 So, there's a company that's trying to do filets that are plant-based.

01:41:45.820 I believe we have one of the first 1,000 orders in the United States for these steaks.

01:41:54.060 And it's being prepared right now.

01:41:55.880 Right now for you to try.

01:41:57.380 Right now, of course.

01:41:57.640 Are you excited?

01:41:58.540 No.

01:41:58.900 This will totally change your day from the...

01:42:02.060 So, you have to use a knife and a fork.

01:42:05.400 Well, I don't know.

01:42:06.340 I mean, I've never...

01:42:07.260 Okay.

01:42:07.280 You know, but it is...

01:42:08.800 You know, when I think of a steak...

01:42:12.180 You know, like that steak experience that you have when you eat meat, you go to a steak

01:42:17.020 place, you go down, you get the knife and the fork, and you go through it.

01:42:19.820 Maybe you have a little, I don't know, the Bernays sauce.

01:42:23.000 Sure, sure.

01:42:23.620 You know, like there's a bunch of the sauce.

01:42:24.940 I don't know.

01:42:25.460 So, that's not something that I've ever seen replicated well, or really even attempted...

01:42:30.640 No, remember, this started with something we all said we would never do, the pink slime.

01:42:37.540 This is how that's...

01:42:38.720 Out of the pink slime came this.

01:42:42.320 What do you mean, out of the pink slime?

01:42:43.640 Don't you remember?

01:42:45.460 They were first trying to make, you know, vegetable meat products, and it was pink slime.

01:42:51.140 I thought the pink slime thing was a meat offshoot.

01:42:56.160 No.

01:42:57.240 Yeah, the pink slime...

01:42:58.140 The original pink slime story was this, like...

01:43:00.820 It was a byproduct of a...

01:43:02.960 No, it wasn't fake meat.

01:43:04.080 It was turning people to start trying fake meat.

01:43:07.300 Oh, my gosh.

01:43:07.980 It was real meat off...

01:43:09.260 Not like...

01:43:09.740 Like, off-runnings.

01:43:10.980 No.

01:43:12.000 Well, anyway, we're going to try something here in the next break, and I have no idea how

01:43:15.600 it's going to go.

01:43:16.260 Could go bad.

01:43:16.840 Could go badly, but I feel like we'll give it a whirl.

01:43:20.720 Oh, cut with a spoon-style forks...

01:43:23.120 Oh, I remember when you said that.

01:43:25.760 I want to know if it can be cut with a spoon-styled fork.

01:43:31.060 Which is not a thing.

01:43:31.720 Don't...

01:43:32.200 Not a thing.

01:43:33.540 Neither is vegetable meat.

01:43:35.340 That's fair.

01:43:36.260 That's fair.

01:43:37.140 So...

01:43:37.440 Maybe I'll cut it with a spoon-styled fork.

01:43:41.720 I...

01:43:42.160 Look, I think these fake steaks might be good.

01:43:44.380 I've seen pictures of them.

01:43:45.200 They look good.

01:43:45.880 By the way, isn't a spoon-styled fork a spork?

01:43:49.100 A spoon...

01:43:51.140 That's...

01:43:51.500 That's a fork-styled spoon.

01:43:56.700 You could be a professor in college.

01:43:59.140 Thank you.

01:44:08.220 Inflation is substantially outpacing wage growth.

01:44:10.880 It's like, wow.

01:44:13.400 The sun sure is bright and round today.

01:44:15.760 Yeah.

01:44:16.120 Yeah.

01:44:16.920 Yep.

01:44:17.420 Inflation is outpacing growth.

01:44:19.580 Mm-hmm.

01:44:20.680 Not a real shocker.

01:44:23.380 But here's what you can do.

01:44:25.020 You need to start saving money wherever you can.

01:44:27.080 And the best place to start saving money is on anything that has high interest.

01:44:31.280 Now, maybe that's your mortgage.

01:44:33.420 They just raised the mortgage rates again yesterday.

01:44:39.040 This is going to affect your credit cards.

01:44:41.340 And that's where I really want to start is, what are your credit cards?

01:44:44.940 The interest rate.

01:44:46.220 If you're not paying those off, you need to get them.

01:44:49.960 You need to get out of them because those interest rates are going to go higher and higher.

01:44:52.980 And I think the average is like 19.1 or 19.9 right now.

01:44:57.020 Please call American Financing.

01:44:59.180 Ask them, can you help me save money?

01:45:28.760 No, I thought.

01:45:30.520 Yeah.

01:45:31.440 It's got like juices and stuff.

01:45:37.020 We're test testing a new product.

01:45:38.700 It smells like dog food.

01:45:41.440 This stew just brought in.

01:45:43.180 It doesn't smell like dog food.

01:45:44.540 You don't know what steak even smells like anymore.

01:45:47.200 But I know what dog food smells like.

01:45:48.920 Not tastes like.

01:45:50.240 By the way, I should point out.

01:45:50.900 Now, these are filet mignons, supposedly, plant-based filet mignons.

01:45:55.480 The first time I think this has ever been attempted.

01:45:57.580 It's by a company called...

01:45:58.260 Because it's like the first thousand offline.

01:46:00.620 Yeah.

01:46:00.900 It's like a brand new product.

01:46:02.580 Juicy Marbles is the name of the company.

01:46:04.960 Juicy Marbles.

01:46:06.280 Now, they have been prepared.

01:46:08.120 I mean, they look...

01:46:08.900 Okay, so look.

01:46:09.700 Look at that.

01:46:10.120 This does have like strange texture.

01:46:13.500 I mean, it has like...

01:46:14.400 Oh, yeah.

01:46:14.420 It looks like filet in its texture.

01:46:18.000 Man, cutting it open sure doesn't smell like filet.

01:46:21.660 I don't think it smells that bad.

01:46:24.080 Should we try it?

01:46:25.440 It's got like juices and stuff, too.

01:46:27.080 I don't have to put in the juice in.

01:46:28.220 I don't know what that juice is.

01:46:29.740 They just prepared the thing.

01:46:31.040 Let's try it.

01:46:32.080 Glenn Beck trying a plant-based filet mignon.

01:46:34.880 Here we go.

01:46:35.760 This will be an adventure.

01:46:43.240 Okay.

01:46:49.600 Okay.

01:46:50.040 It doesn't taste like steak.

01:46:52.540 That's not...

01:46:53.740 But it doesn't taste like dog food either.

01:46:55.220 Okay.

01:46:55.520 Okay.

01:46:56.120 All right.

01:46:56.500 So we're in between steak and dog food.

01:46:58.800 But it definitely doesn't taste like steak.

01:47:01.120 But it...

01:47:02.520 Let me try.

01:47:02.940 Almost has the texture of steak.

01:47:04.880 Almost.

01:47:06.280 Robert, come in.

01:47:08.120 Robert's my brother.

01:47:10.680 He was a food and beverage director for a while at some of like really good resorts.

01:47:16.460 I was going to say...

01:47:17.160 Try this.

01:47:17.500 I don't think it tastes bad.

01:47:18.760 Try the beef steak tomatoes.

01:47:21.700 They are beef vegetables.

01:47:25.460 So we have plant-based steak and beef-based vegetables?

01:47:28.600 All right.

01:47:28.880 Yeah.

01:47:29.440 I couldn't eat that.

01:47:31.800 I don't like the aftertaste to it.

01:47:33.480 Yeah.

01:47:34.280 I could eat it.

01:47:35.940 Of course.

01:47:36.520 I haven't had steak in 17 years.

01:47:38.240 No, it's like me doing a wine tasting.

01:47:40.500 Right.

01:47:40.600 You know.

01:47:41.580 People...

01:47:42.080 People...

01:47:42.480 You know.

01:47:43.020 I'll try this fake wine with zero alcohol in it.

01:47:45.960 I'll keep it.

01:47:46.520 And I'll be like, this is really good.

01:47:48.360 And people will be, really?

01:47:49.640 They'll drink it.

01:47:50.260 They'll spit it out.

01:47:51.140 It's horrible.

01:47:52.600 Right.

01:47:52.960 You have no idea.

01:47:53.640 I have no idea.

01:47:54.740 See, I think...

01:47:55.200 Did you try it, Robert?

01:47:55.940 Yeah.

01:47:56.400 Try it.

01:47:56.920 Try it.

01:47:57.360 Here.

01:47:57.540 Here.

01:47:57.720 Try it.

01:47:58.060 Just tell me what you think.

01:47:59.760 It's interesting because as a person who doesn't eat steak anymore, it hits some of those notes

01:48:06.320 that I remember or at least recall from back in the day.

01:48:09.300 Sit here and talk into that microphone.

01:48:11.040 And of course, Robert's also a very good chef.

01:48:13.340 It probably tastes better than most people would have it, but still.

01:48:18.740 I mean, it is...

01:48:20.120 It almost has a...

01:48:21.000 I actually kind of like it.

01:48:22.880 You like it?

01:48:23.800 Wow.

01:48:24.720 So you would serve that in one of your, like, real nice restaurants if you were doing that?

01:48:29.960 Without a doubt?

01:48:30.720 No.

01:48:31.080 No, no.

01:48:31.340 I wouldn't.

01:48:31.820 No, you wouldn't.

01:48:32.580 No.

01:48:32.800 Okay.

01:48:33.220 No chance in hell.

01:48:34.040 No.

01:48:34.360 Well, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:48:35.880 As an option on your...

01:48:38.340 If somebody...

01:48:39.240 This is restaurant quality beef.

01:48:40.940 Can you move your mic over there, Robert?

01:48:42.220 Yeah.

01:48:42.780 Sorry.

01:48:43.340 It's restaurant quality non-beef, which means that it's passable for a vegetarian who wants

01:48:49.400 to remember eating beef.

01:48:51.380 Right.

01:48:51.520 If I go to a steak place, they never have anything on the menu that I can eat.

01:48:55.340 So as...

01:48:56.180 Yeah, I think that would be good for people who don't have meat.

01:48:58.940 Yeah.

01:48:59.400 I would agree.

01:49:00.460 And seeing that none of us will have meat in, you know, by 2030, get used to it.

01:49:06.060 I think the texture is actually remarkable.

01:49:09.860 I wouldn't have thought you were in this.

01:49:11.300 Right?

01:49:11.500 I would have never thought you could get that.

01:49:13.880 No.

01:49:13.920 I mean, it is like a really good filet.

01:49:16.660 You know when you cut a filet and it has...

01:49:18.740 It's like stringy.

01:49:19.600 Yeah.

01:49:19.820 You know what I mean?

01:49:20.140 Yeah.

01:49:20.340 Yeah.

01:49:20.440 It's, you know, looks like muscle.

01:49:25.340 I think the aroma is the only thing that's off-putting.

01:49:29.580 Yeah.

01:49:29.920 Right?

01:49:30.440 Because the aroma just has that...

01:49:33.040 Something's...

01:49:33.620 It smells like bad meat.

01:49:35.960 Hmm.

01:49:36.480 That's what I like.

01:49:37.640 Yeah.

01:49:38.440 No, I mean...

01:49:38.880 It's called dog food.

01:49:40.040 Yeah.

01:49:40.220 It smells like spoiled meat.

01:49:42.500 Really?

01:49:42.940 I don't think it does.

01:49:43.680 I don't think it's that bad.

01:49:44.960 I do.

01:49:45.320 I mean, I...

01:49:46.180 Well...

01:49:46.460 You do.

01:49:46.940 It's either that or really...

01:49:47.940 It's bologna.

01:49:49.260 Right?

01:49:49.520 It smells like kind of bologna-ish.

01:49:51.760 You know, it could have been a horse.

01:49:53.920 I would say it kind of crisps up like on the top and the bottom in a nice way.

01:49:57.620 Yeah, no, I mean, I think if you're a vegetarian, that is a great...

01:50:01.880 For instance, my son-in-law is a vegetarian, and I'm not sure it's entirely his, you know,

01:50:11.240 a happy wife, happy life.

01:50:13.220 Let's just get into that.

01:50:14.080 Okay.

01:50:14.240 Yeah, sure.

01:50:15.520 This would be a great option for him.

01:50:17.940 Yeah.

01:50:18.420 I got to set it.

01:50:19.120 In fact, go in the hallway.

01:50:19.940 See it.

01:50:20.220 Because he's here.

01:50:21.140 Have him try this.

01:50:22.160 I will.

01:50:22.560 Because he...

01:50:23.420 I know he used to like meat.

01:50:25.300 Have him come in here and just leave that there.

01:50:26.920 I got to say, it's a pretty...

01:50:29.000 Yeah, it's...

01:50:29.620 For me...

01:50:29.880 It is pretty.

01:50:30.660 You know, it's...

01:50:31.500 Again, I can understand if you're going to fancy steakhouses all the time, it's going

01:50:35.020 to be different, but it's a pretty good effort.

01:50:36.180 No, I don't think fancy.

01:50:37.360 I think any steakhouse.

01:50:38.220 Okay, fine.

01:50:38.560 I think if the cow has been slaughtered in the same room, and they just tore the meat

01:50:45.120 out and put it on an open flame, that's not fancy to me, and I think it's, you know...

01:50:51.660 See, what's the difference?

01:50:53.340 So it's not a rave review, you'd say, but...

01:50:55.440 No, for what it is...

01:50:56.820 Yeah.

01:50:57.080 It's a rave review for what it is.

01:50:59.040 Yeah.

01:50:59.540 If that's your first attempt, they'll get it.

01:51:03.260 They'll get it.

01:51:03.840 I never thought they'd be able to do the texture.

01:51:05.840 I'm looking at it cut open with the texture, and there's no way I would say that's not

01:51:11.260 meat.

01:51:12.280 Wow.

01:51:12.980 Yeah, I would agree.

01:51:13.840 Look at that.

01:51:14.440 I mean, there's...

01:51:15.220 I mean, you know, it looks kind of...

01:51:19.140 Yeah.

01:51:19.720 Yeah.

01:51:20.640 It's pretty...

01:51:21.220 I mean, it's an impressive...

01:51:22.220 Yeah.

01:51:22.500 I mean, the future is bright, America.

01:51:25.920 Soon, we'll all be having plant-based steaks and steak-based plants.

01:51:30.940 Mmm.

01:51:31.880 Get used to it.

01:51:33.080 Have some dog food today.

01:51:35.020 Let me go to Carol.

01:51:37.180 Hi, Carol.

01:51:38.220 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:51:40.460 Hi, Glenn.

01:51:41.100 It's nice to visit with you.

01:51:42.180 I waited quite a while to get to talk to you.

01:51:44.080 Oh, okay.

01:51:45.060 Well, thank you.

01:51:47.380 So, my husband said, if I get to talk to you, the first thing I have to say to you is,

01:51:51.040 what's up, cracker?

01:51:51.820 What's up, my cracker?

01:51:52.860 I know.

01:51:53.580 Oh, yeah, dog.

01:51:54.560 I got it.

01:51:56.460 But the reason I called is because my biggest concern right now is a mother and a person

01:52:01.580 who manages two businesses, veteran-owned here in our town.

01:52:04.920 My son is now homeschooled.

01:52:07.140 My son is homeschooled because of the inconsistencies in the administration here.

01:52:11.580 They can't get their act together.

01:52:13.380 And now that we have the worry of what they're going to be putting in their little minds,

01:52:17.360 it's even scarier for me.

01:52:18.900 We're not investing in our future, which is our children.

01:52:21.760 The people who are going to wipe our butts when we're old, we're not investing in them.

01:52:25.940 We're investing in a country that obviously has the theatrics to have their president on

01:52:31.240 TV every day telling us what's going on.

01:52:34.020 Why are we doing this?

01:52:35.240 Why aren't we investing in our future instead of everybody else's?

01:52:37.940 Okay.

01:52:38.260 So I agree and disagree at the same time.

01:52:43.440 Because of the nature of what has just happened in Ukraine, we have, and I'm against this,

01:52:52.020 but we have spent a lot of time and a lot of money, especially during the Biden-Obama

01:52:56.380 years and with Clinton over in Ukraine.

01:53:00.060 It's an extraordinarily corrupt country, but it does understand for as much as a country

01:53:08.860 like that can understand freedom.

01:53:11.960 It's just really corrupt.

01:53:14.060 They are also the gateway to Russia, or if you're on the Russian side, the gateway, them

01:53:20.860 and Poland, Hungary, the gateway to Europe.

01:53:24.240 They're not a NATO country.

01:53:26.780 I don't want to fight in their war.

01:53:29.800 I don't mind, you know, helping them out.

01:53:33.120 I think we're starting to spend crazy amounts of money.

01:53:37.940 You know, Europe should be spending that kind of money, and we should be spending the money

01:53:41.800 that they are spending, quite honestly.

01:53:43.800 However, I don't mind standing up at this point with somebody who seems to almost repeat the

01:53:51.400 pattern of Germany in the 1930s.

01:53:55.900 So I don't think we can abandon that, because it is in our interest not to lose Europe to

01:54:01.420 Russia, but it is also in our interest not to go to war over this.

01:54:07.320 Enough with the foreign wars.

01:54:09.880 Enough with the foreign wars.

01:54:12.200 And I do agree with you that we need to be spending our money here, but I don't think

01:54:18.320 that the government should be spending our money.

01:54:20.880 I think we should abolish the Department of Ed and take all of those taxes that we now

01:54:26.620 send to Washington and keep them in our own local areas and build the schools and do the

01:54:31.440 schools ourselves and not be beholden to people who have no idea who the people, well, I was

01:54:38.580 going to say, who the people in the middle of the country or the people in San Francisco

01:54:42.040 are.

01:54:42.740 But I can't say that, because I think they're all too aware of who the people in San Francisco

01:54:48.260 are, and they despise the people in the middle of the country.

01:54:52.480 We need our money back and our control.

01:54:55.480 Thank you so much.

01:54:56.420 Real quick, one more call from Wes.

01:54:58.700 Hi, Wes.

01:54:59.300 Wes, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:55:01.980 Yeah, Glenn.

01:55:02.700 Appreciate the time here.

01:55:04.940 Two quick things.

01:55:06.080 I had the question during the 2020 election leading up to what we know was stolen.

01:55:14.040 Seems to be the only cognitive test for presidency is whether or not the American people vote

01:55:21.840 for a president and wanted to ask you the question, you know, we got away from the prerequisite

01:55:28.600 of any kind of military position for the, quote, commander in chief, and to kind of piggyback

01:55:35.800 off of a fixed system comment and transparency, shouldn't there be some sort of a cognitive test

01:55:44.820 to prevent the legal footwork of exercising?

01:55:49.340 I don't know how you would devise that, and I worry it could be abused.

01:55:54.380 I mean, think about how that would have been abused under Donald Trump.

01:55:59.420 The only thing that we have right now is the 25th Amendment, but that cannot be enacted by

01:56:07.440 anyone other than the president's own cabinet and party, the vice president and the cabinet.

01:56:13.720 They're the only ones that can say that.

01:56:16.440 And if they're all in cahoots and they don't care, then the country is in real trouble.

01:56:22.960 That's why I think the real solution here is to get away from these parties that and stop putting

01:56:30.440 the party ahead of principles.

01:56:33.340 There's no way that Joe Biden, because he tried over and over again, there's no way Joe Biden

01:56:39.740 would ever win in an election, especially in that condition.

01:56:45.500 We all knew.

01:56:46.340 So did they.

01:56:47.640 But they were so blinded by their hatred for the GOP and Donald Trump that they would have

01:56:53.060 elected a stool.

01:56:54.340 And they did.

01:56:58.020 It's it's a real problem.

01:56:59.700 But the problem lies with the American people and the party system, I believe.

01:57:03.960 And I'm not for any new guilds or groups that are going to tell the American people who's

01:57:11.480 qualified and who's not qualified.

01:57:13.240 I think we just start using common sense.

01:57:14.980 We all knew he was no longer qualified for the presidency of the United States.

01:57:20.320 But maybe that's, you know, maybe that's just me back in just a second.

01:57:27.420 Internet, wild and woolly place.

01:57:29.420 Anything can and does happen all the time.

01:57:32.000 And of course, tons and tons of cybercrime happens all the time.

01:57:34.940 Do not like the aftertaste of that.

01:57:37.520 It's an easy fact to ignore if you've never been receiving the you know, the end of cyber

01:57:42.740 thief's bad intentions, if if you are waiting for it to happen or you think it's never going

01:57:48.940 to happen to you, it will.

01:57:50.760 It's coming.

01:57:51.700 It's going to affect all of us.

01:57:54.280 No one can stop all of it.

01:57:55.900 No one can watch everything.

01:57:57.960 So you need the best in the business that does it.

01:58:00.620 And they also need to have an arm that knows what to do if it happens to you to clean it

01:58:06.660 all up because it can really destroy things in your life.

01:58:10.260 Now, that company, I think, is LifeLock by Norton.

01:58:15.040 We know Norton.

01:58:16.600 We know LifeLock was the first on the scene.

01:58:19.040 These are the two best companies and they've joined together.

01:58:23.080 They're the one the best ones to have you avoid it, to notify you if something is happening

01:58:28.380 or if they miss something, clean it up.

01:58:45.260 Join the conversation.

01:58:46.520 Eight, eight, eight, seven, two, seven, B.E.C.K.

01:58:49.420 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:59:09.260 OK, so here it is on that meat thing.

01:59:11.660 Yeah, I liked it.

01:59:12.380 That was really good.

01:59:13.240 In fact, the people in the back room liked it, too.

01:59:14.980 I think it's the smell that bothers me because I mean, it smells like dog food and I know

01:59:20.160 what cooked dog food smells like.

01:59:21.980 Yes, you do.

01:59:22.800 Can you tell this story?

01:59:24.040 Is this allowed?

01:59:25.820 Are you allowed?

01:59:26.380 Well, I wasn't sure if you were a reutilizing it or B have a pending lawsuit about this particular

01:59:32.540 day.

01:59:33.160 But can you can you explain the story?

01:59:35.440 I'm proud of this story.

01:59:36.780 My my fan.

01:59:37.680 OK, so the thing you have to understand is my family, we are brutal on each other and

01:59:43.500 brutal to the people we love.

01:59:45.580 OK, so there's not means what might appear to be mean spirited to some people when you're

01:59:52.060 in the family or, you know, you're part of the family.

01:59:55.400 We love you.

01:59:56.460 And so we beat on you.

01:59:58.360 So in a in it like a pranking in a prank sort of way.

02:00:01.640 So there were there is these two missionaries that were coming over for dinner and one was

02:00:07.960 in on it.

02:00:08.440 The other one wasn't.

02:00:09.300 He was just new first day out.

02:00:11.700 And so he's having dinner and having it at our house.

02:00:14.400 And when they asked this other missionary and I, we hatched a plan to break him in.

02:00:20.600 And I when they ask, can we have dinner?

02:00:22.960 I said, sure.

02:00:23.660 You know what?

02:00:24.100 My wife will make her special meatloaf.

02:00:25.820 And the one who was in on it went, oh, good.

02:00:28.600 But as soon as I left, he said, oh, my gosh, this is the worst meatloaf ever.

02:00:32.300 But you have to eat it because they think it's really good.

02:00:35.340 So you have to eat it.

02:00:36.820 So we took dog food and we put it in a meatloaf pan.

02:00:40.020 Oh, my mixed it with some pickles and, you know, everything you wouldn't want in meatloaf

02:00:43.760 and and then cooked it.

02:00:46.700 The house smelled horrible.

02:00:49.520 So they come in and Tanya says, I made my meatloaf and she put it out on the table.

02:00:54.960 Tanya was even in on this.

02:00:56.120 Oh, yeah.

02:00:56.620 I mean, it was mainly mean, but she was in on it.

02:00:59.540 So put it on the table and she said, help yourself, boys.

02:01:03.540 Now, we couldn't we could we had to watch from the other room because we were well, I had to

02:01:09.400 hold Tanya back because she was like, they can't actually I'm going to tell them.

02:01:12.780 And I'm like, no, you don't.

02:01:13.740 And so we so we watch from the other room and she yelled stop right before they they ate

02:01:21.700 it.

02:01:22.020 But he was cutting it and putting it on his plate and they were looking at it.

02:01:26.120 And and the new guy was like, oh, my gosh, we have to eat this.

02:01:30.740 This is this looks so horrible.

02:01:33.820 And he got it all the way up to his mouth before Tanya wrecked the scam.

02:01:39.400 So your plan was to let them eat the dog food.

02:01:43.800 Well, at least one bite, you know.

02:01:46.920 No, I don't know.

02:01:50.280 That's why I'm married to Tanya.

02:01:52.460 She stops me from doing things like this.

02:01:54.580 But she was in on that one.

02:01:56.360 Oh, she was how you remember it.

02:01:57.900 That's how I remember this.

02:01:59.280 Is this how she would remember it?

02:02:01.020 I don't know.

02:02:01.920 We don't talk about things in the past.

02:02:04.380 We look to the future.

02:02:06.480 We look to the future at our family.

02:02:08.520 Why dwell on the past, Stu?

02:02:13.080 You know, I think that missionary was he was so faith.

02:02:17.420 So he was so into it because he was like when the new missionary came out with him, he was
