00:02:08.560 We have some news for you on your finances.

00:02:13.200 We're going to talk a little bit about ESG, mainly around what Elon Musk just said.

00:02:20.520 Elon Musk said, I'm increasingly convinced that corporate ESG is the devil incarnate.

00:02:28.140 Kind of a bold statement from him.

00:02:31.700 I back him up on that.

00:02:33.140 Also, another piece of Elon Musk news, remember last week he was talking about, maybe I just

00:02:40.020 start a competition to Twitter.

00:02:42.420 Maybe I just, you know what, I got to start my own social media.

00:02:45.860 And then he decided, I'm going to become the major shareholder in Twitter.

00:02:52.740 He now owns more shares of Twitter than anyone else.

00:02:57.860 So far, it is a silent partner.

00:03:00.780 He doesn't get any board seats, but that could change.

00:03:06.440 Are we on the verge of real freedom of speech again in the mainstream?

00:03:13.140 We begin there in 60 seconds.

00:03:19.220 Looking back at the world of cyber safety in 2021, it was a big year for data breaches.

00:03:26.060 LinkedIn, the public information scrape was more than 700 million.

00:03:33.020 The adult webcam site, StripChat, I didn't even, StripChat?

00:03:39.040 Oh, okay.

00:03:40.200 Had 200 million of its records stolen by cyber criminals.

00:03:44.140 The importance of identity theft protection has never been more vital.

00:03:48.420 It is important to understand how cyber crime and identity theft are affecting your life.

00:03:54.240 Now, nobody can prevent everything, but I will tell you that LifeLock is there.

00:03:58.760 They will help detect a wide range of identity threats, like your social security number on sale at the dark web.

00:04:05.280 If they detect that your information has potentially been compromised,

00:04:09.460 they send you an alert and give you access to a whole team of restoration specialists if you become a victim.

00:04:16.660 So, get LifeLock by Norton now.

00:04:31.540 So, Elon Musk, I'm increasingly convinced that corporate ESG is the devil incarnate.

00:04:44.240 This is really good news.

00:04:46.660 There are some people that are now big players that are starting to talk about this as a reality.

00:04:56.820 I mean, there is such a disconnect.

00:04:58.320 Anyone who tells you this is not what's going on, it's no longer Glenn Beck's crazy theory and Glenn Beck's crazy book.

00:05:06.800 There are so many people.

00:05:08.360 For instance, NYU professor of finance, Aswath Dameron, has been writing about ESG.

00:05:20.260 Listen to what he said.

00:05:20.920 When I first wrote about ESG two years ago, I did so because I was skeptical of the unquestioning belief that people had in its success.

00:05:29.600 Amen.

00:05:30.860 This is one of the things that really bothers me about this, is everybody is just so convinced that this is all going to work.

00:05:38.520 When they're talking about, when I first read the World Economic Forum website, and they were unveiling all of their plans, when I got to the food thing, I realized these people are criminally insane. 0.81

00:05:55.440 They are criminally insane.

00:05:57.000 You're going to take 10,000 years of farming and flush it down the toilet and come up with a new system of farming, literally from seed to plate.

00:06:11.740 And you're going to do that in eight years?

00:06:14.640 Really?

00:06:15.620 Wow.

00:06:16.420 That's not criminally insane or criminally arrogant at all.

00:06:20.880 Anyway, he said, I initially believe that it was a flawed concept that needed fixing.

00:06:27.260 But after two years of interactions with people who claim to know the concept really well, but don't seem capable of making solid cases for it and witnessing its takeover by well-heeled entities with agendas,

00:06:42.900 I'm convinced that there will soon be room for only two types of people in the ESG space.

00:06:48.660 The first will be the useful idiots, well-meaning individuals who believe that they are advancing the cause of goodness as they toil in the trenches of ESG measurement services, ESG arms of consulting firms, and ESG investment funds. 0.94

00:07:06.900 The second will be the feckless knaves who know fully well the void behind the concept, but see an opportunity to make money. 0.95

00:07:16.600 I know those are not edifying choices, but I don't see any good ones other than leaving the ESG space completely.

00:07:26.440 Good luck.

00:07:28.740 That's pretty damning.

00:07:32.080 Now, let's couple this to the real world.

00:07:35.320 CNBC has just run an op-ed.

00:07:41.720 A new world order is emerging and the world is not ready for it.

00:07:47.760 This is written by the chief executive officer of the Atlantic Council.

00:07:52.100 And so, you know, somebody who was like, yay, world order.

00:07:56.480 But he says that we're not ready for it at all.

00:08:00.240 He said, are we ready for the new world order?

00:08:03.100 That's the provocative title title of the panel that led off the ambitiously named world government summit last week.

00:08:11.860 And it was framed to suggest that a new world order is emerging and the world's not ready for it.

00:08:16.340 There has been a proliferation of writing about who will shape the future world order since Vladimir Putin launched his invasion in Ukraine.

00:08:25.040 The tempting conclusion, should Ukraine survive as an independent, sovereign and democratic country, the U.S. and Europe-backed forces will regain momentum against the previously ascendant Russian-Chinese forces of authoritarianism, oppression and, in at least Putin's case, evil.

00:08:46.240 I think we can say that about China, too.

00:08:48.720 Can we, can we pony up maybe to the big boy table just for a second and say, yeah, I think we can call the regime in China evil.

00:09:00.640 Sounds like good news, but there's a downside.

00:09:03.840 My conversations in Dubai at the World Government Summit and the Atlantic Council's Global Energy Forum show little enthusiasm or conviction for this bifurcated vision of the future.

00:09:14.420 The Middle Eastern participants have no interest in abandoning, abandoning relations with China, the leading trading partner for Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, or breaking with Russia, which established itself as a force to be reckoned with when it saved Syrian President Bashir al-Assad through its military invention in its war.

00:09:37.020 Beyond that, our Middle East partners have lost confidence in America's commitment to global leadership or confidence following last year's botched Afghanistan withdrawal.

00:09:48.380 They're also experienced whiplash from the Trump administration that trashed the nuclear deal with Iran to Biden's administration, which they feel is pursuing it without sufficiently factoring in Tehran's regional aggression.

00:10:01.500 In all my many years in the Middle East over the years, I have never heard this level of frustration from Mideast government officials with American policymakers.

00:10:13.160 So he goes on to talk about how there have been now three attempts to organize the world.

00:10:21.060 And he said it was the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations, which got into European fascism and everything else.

00:10:30.060 Then World War Two, you had the Marshall Plan and Bretton Woods.

00:10:35.580 Then you had the third effort, he says, is the Cold War ending where it became a unipolar world.

00:10:45.760 And now it's this one.

00:10:48.480 Now, I can't take any more people saying this is, you know, a hoax.

00:10:55.840 It's not really happening.

00:10:57.460 Why would you think?

00:10:58.960 Why are all of the biggest magazines, think tanks, scholars all talking about this, including our president, saying that there is a new world order?

00:11:12.360 You must break out of the box of your thinking.

00:11:18.420 This is happening.

00:11:21.840 Now, how it happens, I don't know.

00:11:25.560 But one of the things that is happening is Russia and China are trying to collapse our dollar because we're trying to collapse Russia.

00:11:37.260 So what did Russia do this weekend?

00:11:39.840 Russia, the Bank of Russia, has resumed gold purchases.

00:11:46.720 More importantly, they are now fixing the ruble, 5,000 rubles per one gram of gold.

00:11:56.120 So they're on a quasi gold standard now.

00:11:59.380 Now, if they attach a gold standard to the rubles, this is this is what the Bank of Russia is now doing.

00:12:08.680 If they've already said we're going to shut down all oil and gas exports unless you buy it in rubles.

00:12:17.180 Well, nobody wants rubles.

00:12:19.700 They knew that.

00:12:21.760 So now Russia has said we're on a gold standard.

00:12:24.180 Now, it's not exactly that, but it's close enough.

00:12:27.600 So you can take gold and send it to Russia.

00:12:32.920 They'll give you the rubles.

00:12:35.420 You buy the oil.

00:12:36.980 You give the rubles back.

00:12:38.460 They're stocking up on gold.

00:12:43.380 This will be very, very bad for the United States.

00:12:47.820 It'll be good, you know, for gold prices if you have that.

00:12:51.620 Unfortunately, I don't think the United States has a lot of that.

00:12:56.180 And will it work?

00:12:57.760 Yes.

00:12:58.400 Listen to this.

00:12:59.240 This is from the CEO of BASF, which I'm not sure what they make other than they're a petrochemical company.

00:13:08.780 And it's, you know, you if you watch like remember the days when you used to watch Sunday morning TV shows on politics and be like BASF.

00:13:18.400 We make everything you need.

00:13:21.080 OK, like what?

00:13:22.920 Everything.

00:13:24.000 Well, they had a company that said, like, we make the things that you like better.

00:13:27.520 So they don't make the things you you need.

00:13:31.560 They make the things you need better.

00:13:33.560 Yeah.

00:13:34.080 So anyway, you know, they make everything from, I don't know, tape to styrofoam to.

00:13:43.320 Well, in this case, they they make fertilizer as well.

00:13:47.520 So he did a the CEO just did an interview because they're talking about in Germany.

00:13:55.500 Uh, what do we do without gas from Russia?

00:14:00.420 And the new chancellor is like, don't worry about it.

00:14:02.960 Just turn your temperature down by two degrees.

00:14:05.520 It'll be fine.

00:14:06.460 And BASF is like, uh, that's a recipe for disaster.

00:14:10.900 That's not going to work.

00:14:12.200 They said he said we could be energy independent maybe in five years.

00:14:18.380 But if they shut things down, Russia covers 55 percent of German natural gas.

00:14:24.800 He said many, many things would collapse here.

00:14:29.420 We'd have high levels of unemployment.

00:14:31.860 Many companies would go bankrupt.

00:14:34.080 It would lead to irreversible damage.

00:14:37.100 It would put the German economy into its worst crisis since the Weimar Republic.

00:14:43.960 Many small, medium sizes company in particular.

00:14:46.860 It would mean the end.

00:14:48.180 We can't risk it.

00:14:49.660 A delivery stop for a short time would perhaps open the eyes of many on both sides.

00:14:53.780 It'd make clear the magnitude of the consequences.

00:14:57.280 But if we don't get more Russian gas for a long time, we have a problem here in Germany.

00:15:03.540 People often make no connection at all between a boycott and their own job.

00:15:08.400 As if our economy and prosperity are set in stone.

00:15:12.100 This is such an American problem. 0.86

00:15:13.960 It will be a catastrophe.

00:15:15.500 And we will feel it clearly next year more than this one, because most of the fertilizers that the farmers need this year has already been bought.

00:15:26.480 In 2023, there will be a shortage in poor countries in particular.

00:15:29.940 For example, in Africa, will no longer be able to afford basic foodstuffs.

00:15:33.980 This is a risk of famine.

00:15:38.260 Okay.

00:15:39.900 All right.

00:15:40.680 Maybe we should think about the whole new global order thing a little differently.

00:15:49.100 Maybe we should all sit down and have a chat together.

00:15:52.400 I'm just saying.

00:15:53.300 Now, let me give you two other things.

00:15:59.100 In Ukraine, they can't even get the tractors out.

00:16:03.160 This is plant, you know, seeding time, field seeding time.

00:16:08.160 And they can't even get the tractors out because of the drones up in the air.

00:16:12.040 The farmers are like, I'd rather not get blown off my tractor by a bomb.

00:16:17.260 And so they're not planting the fields.

00:16:21.240 They say it could go down as much as 20% of the usual output.

00:16:30.540 That might be a problem.

00:16:33.360 They can't get the fertilizers.

00:16:35.220 They can't get the fertilizer in China.

00:16:37.180 In fact, China is only going to produce about 40% of what it normally does.

00:16:45.180 And the good news, Texas, Kansas, North Dakota, Oklahoma, New York are showing the largest decreases in overall cropland this year.

00:16:59.140 They are planning on, in just those five states, planning on decreasing the plantings only by almost 2 million acres.

00:17:09.380 So, that's not going to be a problem.

00:17:16.120 They are growing more soybeans, but about 40% less corn.

00:17:21.760 So, we can have soy.

00:17:24.280 And that soy sauce, let me tell you something.

00:17:26.560 That soy sauce never goes bad.

00:17:28.540 I have soy sauce in my refrigerator, you know, like right next to the butter tray.

00:17:33.120 It's fantastic.

00:17:34.080 I've got like a year's supply.

00:17:35.800 Well, at this rate, now it'll change if we all get hungry.

00:17:38.980 But at this rate, I have a lifetime supply of soy sauce.

00:17:42.700 And it never goes bad.

00:17:44.180 Are they planting enough ducks for duck sauce?

00:17:47.520 Because I don't know.

00:17:48.540 I don't, yeah.

00:17:49.700 I'm concerned about that one.

00:17:51.260 Yeah, because that one goes a lot faster than the soy does.

00:17:57.340 All right, Sun Tzu pointed to the importance of knowing one's enemy.

00:18:01.200 Well, who is the enemy?

00:18:02.720 There's a great story that's, that was at Washington Post today, that was saying, you know, I got to tell you, Joe Biden's economy is great.

00:18:14.100 It's just inflation.

00:18:15.280 You want somebody to blame, blame the Fed.

00:18:17.940 Well, yes, except the Fed is in bed with the federal government. 0.96

00:18:23.500 I should say the leftist of the government.

00:18:25.900 If you want to, you want somebody to pin the blame on, just so we can fix the problem, not just to point fingers, but to fix the problem, it would be the Federal Reserve.

00:18:36.060 Now, I don't know if you know the scary story of how it came to be, but it is the creature from Jekyll Island.

00:18:46.320 This is a new book by the Tuttle Twins, and it's part of their series, but I, this one is so important, I think everybody should read this one, even Ben Bernanke.

00:18:57.600 It is the Tuttle Twins and the creature from Jekyll Island. 0.90

00:19:02.640 It is all about the Fed.

00:19:04.340 It's all about the tyranny of anybody that is like the Fed that can just print money and what it does and why it causes inflation.

00:19:15.120 Most people don't understand what inflation is.

00:19:17.640 They just know it's bad.

00:19:19.180 I need the government to print more money, so I have more money, or I need, I need my boss to give me a raise so I have more money.

00:19:27.080 Okay, without controlling the Fed, both of those really bad solutions because it'll only make inflation worse.

00:19:33.440 You need to understand how our money works, and this is, this is made for kids, but I have to tell you, you'll learn a ton.

00:19:40.280 If I hadn't read the actual, you know, thousand page book creature from Jekyll Island, I would need this book too.

00:19:47.220 The Tuttle Twins, giving away this book about money and inflation.

00:19:51.400 It is free.

00:19:52.480 All you have to pay for is shipping.

00:19:55.200 Read this with your family.

00:19:57.320 I don't care if you're 90 and your kids are 55 years old. 0.58

00:20:02.160 Read this to your family.

00:20:04.040 Everybody needs this.

00:20:06.000 Tuttle Twins, they're giving this book away free.

00:20:15.520 The Creature from Jekyll Island.

00:20:19.100 10 seconds, Station ID.

00:20:30.040 Hey, did you, yes, Stu.

00:20:32.540 I was going to tell you, BASF.

00:20:35.200 We don't make a lot of the products you buy.

00:20:37.580 We make a lot of the products you buy better.

00:20:41.100 That's a solid slogan.

00:20:42.120 It is.

00:20:42.820 I remember thinking, wait, you're not, what are you doing?

00:20:45.020 I don't know, what have you done?

00:20:46.620 It's also a little like a CIA slogan.

00:20:50.080 Yeah.

00:20:50.560 You still don't know what they do.

00:20:53.220 I don't, I don't know.

00:20:54.580 I mean, they're just claiming to make everybody else's work better.

00:20:57.280 Oh my gosh, is it, is there a chance that BASF is the company in severance?

00:21:04.620 Have you seen that?

00:21:05.760 No.

00:21:06.040 You haven't seen that on, on Apple?

00:21:08.060 I've not.

00:21:08.640 It is.

00:21:09.160 Is it good?

00:21:10.040 It's the, it's this most bizarre thing.

00:21:11.760 Severance is something where this company has designed a way.

00:21:16.400 They do something top secret.

00:21:17.940 I don't know what it is.

00:21:18.820 And they found a way to put a chip into your head and it separates your work life from the

00:21:25.080 rest of your life.

00:21:26.120 So you go in this elevator and it turns on the chip and you don't remember your other life.

00:21:33.400 So whether you're finishing work and you're going down, it turns your work off.

00:21:38.580 So you have a complete void.

00:21:40.560 You have no idea what you're working on.

00:21:43.800 Okay.

00:21:44.340 This is an incredible opportunity for the woke culture.

00:21:47.820 Oh, imagine if these companies could just turn off their employees nonsense as they came to work.

00:21:53.020 It would be great.

00:21:54.100 It would be fantastic.

00:21:55.280 Yeah.

00:21:55.440 It's a really good, but I think maybe that's BASF because they make your work day.

00:22:00.140 We don't make the thing.

00:22:01.480 We don't make the things you use.

00:22:04.240 We make the things you use better and in ways where even our employees don't know exactly

00:22:10.540 what we do.

00:22:11.700 I think I'd have a problem though.

00:22:13.240 I think with that invention in particular where they, you know, work is just going to

00:22:17.160 be like, ah, forgot to switch it back to your private life.

00:22:20.280 Sorry about that.

00:22:20.920 And I would also really kind of hate it if this was BASF because they're a German company.

00:22:28.500 Hey, let's make sure we're very clear on what German companies are doing.

00:22:45.000 Oh, guess who's not laughing at preppers anymore?

00:22:47.960 Everyone, uh, people are just at the very beginning of going, Hey, wait a minute.

00:22:55.360 Food shortages.

00:22:56.420 What our world is in the beginning of a major crisis and it's going to impact everything

00:23:03.720 from food to gasoline, energy prices, your, your grocery.

00:23:08.460 Did you hear in Germany today?

00:23:10.640 Today, the prices on all products in the grocery store went up 20 baseline, 20% to top of 50%

00:23:20.820 today.

00:23:23.400 Imagine that coming.

00:23:24.840 Imagine that coming to a grocery store near you.

00:23:27.320 May I suggest you, you check out my Patriot supply right now.

00:23:31.040 My Patriot supply dot Glenn, uh, sorry.

00:23:33.640 Dot to calm.

00:23:47.500 Uh, and it's free shipping.

00:23:49.760 Your order is in an unmarked box.

00:23:51.660 So nobody knows you're getting it.

00:23:53.500 My Patriot supply dot com.

00:23:55.460 My Patriot supply dot com.

00:23:58.660 Well, the world is waking up to ESGs today.

00:24:00.860 Thanks to Elon Musk, but you've known about it for a long time.

00:24:03.160 You can get all the details at glennsnewbook.com.

00:24:14.580 My disinterest in awards shows continues, uh, unabated.

00:24:19.480 Uh, however, there are a couple of things that are kind of interesting about the Grammys

00:24:25.300 that happened last night.

00:24:26.840 Uh, Zelensky, uh, appeared.

00:24:29.740 And I think that is really interesting.

00:24:32.340 There was a big push for him, uh, to be on the Oscars and he didn't respond or anything

00:24:38.180 else.

00:24:38.400 And I think he knows Americans hate the Oscars and hate.

00:24:43.520 He didn't want to be a part of that Hollywood.

00:24:45.140 I'll bet you that's maybe, I mean, I don't know how much we love our music musicians more.

00:24:50.720 No, but I think it's more popular.

00:24:52.760 It doesn't have the backlash that the, uh, the Oscars has.

00:24:55.540 It's probably true.

00:24:56.580 And it certainly would have been overshadowed by what, why the, the whole Will Smith situation

00:25:00.700 at the Oscars anyway.

00:25:01.720 So that wouldn't have worked out.

00:25:02.240 I think even, even what happened, Louis CK got a Grammy.

00:25:06.240 I think this is way more fascinating than anything that's happened in any of these awards shows.

00:25:10.060 Yeah.

00:25:10.100 I think it's bigger than, again, he got, he got, uh, you know, off the front page,

00:25:15.360 Zelensky, because Louis CK, A, he did an album.

00:25:19.400 Right.

00:25:19.660 Uh, and he was nominated for a Grammy.

00:25:22.300 I didn't know that he was, it was cool to be Louis CK again.

00:25:26.120 No, I, I don't think it is.

00:25:27.500 That's what I think is the most fascinating part about this, uh, is he released an album

00:25:31.960 on his own website.

00:25:33.080 None of the streaming, like nowhere else you could find it.

00:25:35.880 You could only find it on his website.

00:25:37.540 Wow.

00:25:38.180 And, uh.

00:25:39.100 Wow.

00:25:39.640 Yeah.

00:25:39.880 Just on his own, unannounced, just released it.

00:25:42.940 And so it comes out and there's no buzz about it.

00:25:46.240 Cause there's no sales.

00:25:47.640 Yeah.

00:25:47.880 I mean, sales for him.

00:25:48.900 Yeah.

00:25:49.220 But nothing, he's not climbing a chart or anything.

00:25:51.980 There's no way to verify its existence or power.

00:25:56.160 Yeah.

00:25:56.440 And Louis CK is a guy who was caught up in the Me Too, you know, thing that happened,

00:26:01.300 but has not, at least in my mind, had the moment where people step back and say, eh,

00:26:07.900 maybe we reacted poorly to that.

00:26:10.000 Maybe, maybe we overreact.

00:26:11.180 Like Aziz Ansari is another comedian.

00:26:12.680 Yeah.

00:26:13.220 He got caught up in the Me Too thing, was sort of canceled for a time.

00:26:16.600 And then people sort of stepped back and said, wait a minute, like we, there's, we don't

00:26:21.360 have anything on this guy.

00:26:22.460 This is crazy.

00:26:23.380 He shouldn't be canceled.

00:26:24.440 And then he was back on Netflix again.

00:26:26.060 Right?

00:26:26.400 Like there was that process where everyone said, okay, that one was, we went too far on

00:26:31.300 that one a little bit.

00:26:32.280 That did not happen with Louis CK.

00:26:34.780 Now, Louis CK, I think, was an example of, I don't think he acted like a good guy.

00:26:42.380 I think he's very creepy, a little weird.

00:26:44.100 Yeah.

00:26:44.360 But never was, was even accused of doing something that he did not have consent to do on.

00:26:52.480 It was just weird.

00:26:53.320 It was like, he was weird.

00:26:54.540 He was doing stuff to himself in other people's presence after he asked for consent.

00:26:58.480 And the claim was that these women felt as if they couldn't say no. 0.65

00:27:04.400 So they said yes and state.

00:27:06.060 So I don't, I don't know any female comedian that would have a problem going, you're going 1.00

00:27:11.120 to, what?

00:27:11.940 No. 0.98

00:27:12.460 F you.

00:27:13.280 Yeah.

00:27:13.940 Right.

00:27:14.640 So, I mean, I've always thought that Louis CK thing, you know, was a little strange the

00:27:18.780 way it was handled, but that's not like the mainstream view.

00:27:21.920 Let's not use the way it was handled.

00:27:23.200 Yeah.

00:27:23.380 Thank you.

00:27:23.720 And so he releases this album and somehow not only gets nominated for a Grammy, but

00:27:29.300 wins.

00:27:30.040 Yeah.

00:27:30.480 Wins best comedy album. 0.98

00:27:32.060 That shows white guys just don't pay for their crimes.

00:27:34.220 And of course, that's what everyone's reaction is, which is bizarre because Aziz Ansari, who

00:27:38.240 is not white, got right back on Netflix a few months later.

00:27:41.200 Right.

00:27:41.560 After his allegations.

00:27:43.400 As far as I know, Bill Cosby did a lot more than any of these people and he's out of prison.

00:27:47.780 So, I don't know.

00:27:48.920 I will tell you what's crazy is, I think this is happening just because so many people

00:27:55.860 are just done with it.

00:27:57.160 They won't say it out loud, but I think they're just done with it.

00:28:00.100 Maybe you're right, but these are like Grammy voters.

00:28:03.360 This isn't.

00:28:03.700 Right.

00:28:04.220 I think they're done with it.

00:28:05.260 They won't say out loud.

00:28:06.180 It's a secret palette.

00:28:07.760 You think.

00:28:08.320 I don't think he would have won a Grammy if everybody had to raise their hand.

00:28:12.640 I think you're totally right on that.

00:28:14.320 I totally right.

00:28:14.820 And if you have not heard, I mean, look, Louis C.K. was always very talented.

00:28:18.580 It's a really funny album.

00:28:20.060 I mean, it's really, really a good special and it deserves to win.

00:28:24.000 I mean, it was really good, but I'm shocked that he actually won.

00:28:28.780 Did the guy who did, what was it, Inside?

00:28:31.620 What was his name?

00:28:33.200 Oh, yes.

00:28:34.500 He didn't win?

00:28:35.760 I don't know.

00:28:36.360 That was even brilliant.

00:28:37.420 Was he nominated for that?

00:28:38.340 That was a Bo Burnham, right?

00:28:39.520 Yeah, yeah.

00:28:40.200 That was brilliant.

00:28:40.960 I remember there was some weirdness about where he was nominated.

00:28:43.600 He wasn't nominated in Best Comedy Album for some reason, like our Best Comedy Musical

00:28:49.260 Album.

00:28:49.740 I don't know.

00:28:50.040 There was something like that because they talked about it because of, it's a lot of

00:28:53.820 songs in that one, in case you haven't seen it.

00:28:56.060 Did Billie Eilish win anything?

00:28:58.500 I don't know.

00:29:00.080 I mean, she won your heart, I think.

00:29:02.360 Well, no.

00:29:03.040 I'm a fan of Billie Eilish and her brother.

00:29:06.180 I think they're amazing.

00:29:07.560 He produces all the music, right?

00:29:09.460 He's a big producer.

00:29:10.400 And he's also a songwriter and singer himself.

00:29:12.800 And I like him better than her.

00:29:14.940 But, man, I went, I flew to Phoenix this weekend with my daughter, my older, my second

00:29:23.980 oldest daughter, Hannah.

00:29:25.560 And she's a big fan.

00:29:27.180 I'm a big fan.

00:29:28.260 And so we went.

00:29:30.260 This is a bizarre scene.

00:29:31.940 Glenn Beck.

00:29:32.800 You went to Billie Eilish?

00:29:34.400 In Vegas?

00:29:36.380 No, Phoenix.

00:29:36.720 Oh, in Phoenix.

00:29:37.340 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:29:37.900 I just want to imagine that crowd.

00:29:40.720 Was there anyone taking video of you at the?

00:29:43.080 No.

00:29:43.640 I want some 20-year-old to recognize you and turn around and take video of this and post

00:29:48.160 it on the internet.

00:29:48.740 It would have been fantastic.

00:29:49.840 No, I mean, Hannah took video.

00:29:52.480 I mean, we could post that.

00:29:54.380 But it was interesting to watch.

00:29:57.040 First of all, all these people.

00:29:59.100 And I kind of sense in this from you, you hate Billie Eilish?

00:30:02.260 No, I don't hate her.

00:30:02.960 Oh, okay.

00:30:03.440 No.

00:30:03.900 All right.

00:30:04.640 Just like others better.

00:30:05.660 Yeah.

00:30:06.140 Oh, yeah.

00:30:07.620 No.

00:30:07.920 And you know what?

00:30:08.640 The reason why I started listening to it is because my son got in the car and he said,

00:30:15.220 have you heard this song, dad?

00:30:17.540 This is what all the really dark goth girls are listening to in school. 1.00

00:30:22.880 And I'm like, you got a lot of those?

00:30:24.340 And so I listened to it and I'm like, this is about suicide.

00:30:28.440 This is really, this is not good.

00:30:31.860 And then so I started really listening and I listened to her lyrics and then I started

00:30:35.360 doing my homework on it.

00:30:37.040 She's actually, and she proved me to be absolutely right.

00:30:41.040 It's one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

00:30:42.840 It's up with Michael Buble.

00:30:43.820 Um, she has the same effect on her audience that Michael Buble has.

00:30:49.360 I've never been to any show, any show where the spotlight 40 to 60% of the time is not

00:30:58.980 on the artist.

00:30:59.840 Okay.

00:31:00.320 She's singing, but even the jumbotrons, they were grainy because it was so dark on her.

00:31:05.840 She does not make it about her, uh, which is weird to see the lights are up on the audience

00:31:13.460 a good portion of the time.

00:31:14.920 And I've never been to a concert where every song, everyone is standing the entire time.

00:31:24.080 Unless she says, sit down, everyone's standing and they're all singing at the top of their

00:31:29.160 lungs.

00:31:29.780 I mean, you heard the audience almost at parody with her.

00:31:34.380 It was bizarre.

00:31:35.840 I wouldn't like, I go to a concert to hear the artists.

00:31:39.860 Me too.

00:31:40.640 Not the audience too.

00:31:41.780 And Hannah said the same thing beforehand.

00:31:44.620 I said, I'm going to be really pissed if I'm just hearing all these people who can't 0.98

00:31:47.820 sing, but it became a really cool experience.

00:31:51.700 Very, very different.

00:31:53.320 Um, and her message, hers, and I knew this, I became a fan of hers when I started reading

00:31:59.240 about her and her brother and how they work.

00:32:01.540 She is, she's dark. 1.00

00:32:03.920 He's light.

00:32:04.580 Wasn't there serious depression with her?

00:32:07.100 Serious depression.

00:32:08.600 Um, and she, she writes about the things that she experiences, um, a, to get it out of her

00:32:16.100 system and to conquer it. 0.59

00:32:17.760 It's the way she kind of conquers things, but also she writes and sings about them because

00:32:22.080 she knows other girls are going through the same thing.

00:32:26.100 And so like the, the first song was, was, I don't know, it might've been a, I want to

00:32:33.680 off myself or whatever.

00:32:34.700 Uh, it was a really dark song, um, with dark imagery and right out of all of this.

00:32:41.920 She says, you know, these nightmares are not true.

00:32:45.620 These are, we all have them.

00:32:47.880 We all have these kinds of thoughts and fears and we have to listen to each other and be

00:32:53.200 there for one another.

00:32:54.740 And that's what tonight's all about.

00:32:56.760 This concert, all of you, I always want, I don't care who you're sitting next to, but

00:33:02.400 we're here for each other.

00:33:04.000 And it was a really cool experience and very different than anything people my age are

00:33:10.140 used to.

00:33:10.900 And I thought it was great.

00:33:12.720 Thought it was really good.

00:33:14.100 Did you throw your underwear up on stage?

00:33:15.800 I did.

00:33:16.520 Yeah, I did.

00:33:17.480 Cover the whole stage.

00:33:19.320 Draped over the entire drum set, including the drummer.

00:33:24.180 It was weird.

00:33:25.100 Wow.

00:33:26.500 I'm at the age where I have, I have a nine and a 10 year old and I listened to a decent

00:33:31.360 amount of kids bop.

00:33:32.600 Yeah.

00:33:32.880 Now, kids bop, if you don't know, is, you know, it's a long series of albums, you know,

00:33:37.780 30 albums or something where they do the biggest hits of the year and it's usually kids singing

00:33:44.200 them.

00:33:44.820 Now it is all kids singing them.

00:33:47.380 And, and so, but they're safe.

00:33:49.560 They're safe.

00:33:50.220 So they take songs that have very bad lyrics and they change them.

00:33:54.380 Like I was listening to one the other day and it's a song, I think it's a country song.

00:33:59.080 It's the Applebee's song, the country Applebee's song.

00:34:01.220 You know what I'm talking about?

00:34:02.880 Uh, bougie, like Applebee's, uh, huge, huge, huge, huge song.

00:34:07.100 I can't believe I'm the only person in the world that's ever heard this in this room.

00:34:09.460 It's, it's amazing.

00:34:10.160 But anyway, they talk about natties, meaning like, you know, beer, natty ice, you know,

00:34:14.260 uh, right.

00:34:14.940 And they change it to soda.

00:34:16.280 So it's like bougie, like soda, which again, I don't know why, you know, we're listening

00:34:23.580 to this kids, Bob, and all of a sudden they get to, I had a dream by Billie Eilish, which

00:34:29.200 is literally a song about killing herself, right?

00:34:32.100 Like she's the whole song is the entire, the entire, all the lyrics, it could include like

00:34:38.220 the bridge.

00:34:39.240 Right.

00:34:40.440 It's about like when she jumps off a bridge.

00:34:43.780 If I remember right, you tell me if I'm wrong, Glenn.

00:34:45.660 She goes to the golden gate.

00:34:47.280 She jumps off a bridge and she has a dream about it.

00:34:51.340 And she thought it was a nightmare because she was killing herself. 0.82

00:34:53.900 And then she realized that's actually what I wanted in the end anyway, is to be dead.

00:34:58.340 Basically what happens and it turns around, it only turns around in the lyrics.

00:35:02.900 So do you know the, do you know the story behind the song?

00:35:04.820 It's amazing.

00:35:05.560 Yes.

00:35:05.740 I heard the whole, there's a whole podcast out about this, which is really interesting.

00:35:09.660 And I happened to listen to it at one point and the story is fascinating and it winds up

00:35:15.040 obviously in a, in a happy place.

00:35:16.400 She, she didn't land, uh, obviously cause she's still alive and doing concerts for Glenn Beck and

00:35:21.180 his underwear.

00:35:21.840 So this is, she didn't die.

00:35:23.520 That's the good news, I guess.

00:35:24.860 Uh, but I don't know if, if you need to have a kid's mom version of the lyrics say, what

00:35:33.040 do you mean?

00:35:33.300 What are the lyrics on the kid's side?

00:35:35.220 I mean, when I was listening to it, I didn't see much change at all.

00:35:39.340 Okay.

00:35:39.640 I don't think, no, I don't think you need that.

00:35:41.440 Okay.

00:35:41.740 I think the, if you listen, if you've never heard this song, which apparently in this

00:35:46.080 room, no one's heard any songs.

00:35:47.380 Uh, but if, if, if you've never heard, if you've never heard this song,

00:35:51.500 it's, it's not quite obvious.

00:35:54.020 It's not like, Hey, I went to the bridge and killed myself.

00:35:56.700 It's a little more artistic, you know, barely a little bit.

00:36:01.580 Like you wouldn't necessarily hear.

00:36:02.860 I had a dream.

00:36:03.560 I thought it was a nightmare, but it turned out to be good.

00:36:05.920 It sounds like it could be anything.

00:36:07.760 There are parts of it though, that I think are, are specific to suicide, but Michael over

00:36:13.060 kids heads.

00:36:13.780 I don't think, I don't think most kids would necessarily notice it at nine or 10 years

00:36:17.200 old, but like, do you need a kid's bop version of a suicide song?

00:36:21.000 It doesn't seem like it.

00:36:22.160 It seems like that when you just skip and do one of her other tunes.

00:36:24.760 I don't know.

00:36:25.280 Suicide is because it has become a thing.

00:36:28.760 I mean, it has, it is really the last couple of years.

00:36:32.160 Yeah.

00:36:32.340 The suicide rate in this country, you know, I went on Instagram, I posted something that

00:36:37.700 just Hannah and I screwed around and said that I was in Phoenix for the Billie Eilish concert.

00:36:41.860 Oh my gosh. 0.70

00:36:43.900 My Instagram posts were all like, she's from the devil.

00:36:48.520 She's really, Oh yeah.

00:36:50.840 Yeah.

00:36:51.300 Really serious, uh, backlash on it.

00:36:54.840 And I thought, you know, you should, you should read, uh, about her not, not just take the songs,

00:37:01.580 uh, for what they're saying, but what the message is behind the songs.

00:37:05.880 I, what I like about her, I like her brother better.

00:37:09.200 I mean, you know, I don't mean it that way, but I mean, he's, he's really positive.

00:37:15.380 He's got a new album out called optimist.

00:37:17.920 It's one of the better albums I've heard, uh, in a long, long time.

00:37:21.880 He's great.

00:37:22.620 And his lyrics are all very philosophical and positive.

00:37:27.500 Um, and that's where you get the balance.

00:37:29.400 She had a dream.

00:37:30.760 I thought it was a nightmare.

00:37:32.720 He's the one that said, no, no, no, you're safe.

00:37:35.500 You're safe.

00:37:36.080 That's pulled her out.

00:37:36.640 Yeah.

00:37:36.860 He pulled her out.

00:37:37.540 And that song is the split between the two and why she's so intent on making people know

00:37:44.640 this isn't normal to feel this way.

00:37:47.560 Do you think you have to have people that tell you you're okay?

00:37:51.240 Do you think it, when she looked out in the audience and saw you, she reconsidered?

00:37:55.500 I, uh, okay.

00:38:02.180 Um, almost every day we hear about another major corporation that has gone woke, tormenting

00:39:02.400 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:39:20.280 I just want to give you a flashback.

00:39:22.440 See if this sounds familiar from 1978 SNL.

00:39:27.780 Inflation is our friend.

00:39:32.400 For example, consider this.

00:39:35.400 In the year 2000, if current trends continue, the average blue collar annual wage in this

00:39:40.360 country will be $568,000.

00:39:43.980 Think what this inflated world of the future will mean.

00:39:47.640 Most Americans will be millionaires.

00:39:50.640 Everyone will feel like a big shot.

00:39:52.260 Wouldn't you like to own a $4,000 suit and smoke a $75 cigar, drive a $600,000 car?

00:40:03.640 I know I would.

00:40:04.540 But what about people on fixed incomes?

00:40:10.180 They have always been the true victims of inflation.

00:40:12.820 That's why I will present to Congress the inflation maintenance program, whereby the U.S.

00:40:17.620 Treasury will make up any inflation cost losses through direct tax rebates to the public in

00:40:22.260 cash.

00:40:23.280 Now, you may say, won't that cost a lot of money?

00:40:25.560 Won't that increase the deficit?

00:40:27.240 Sure it will.

00:40:27.920 But so what?

00:40:29.900 We'll just print more money.

00:40:32.620 We have the papers.

00:40:33.840 We have the mints.

00:40:35.080 I can just call up the Bureau of Engraving and say, hi, this is Jimmer.

00:40:41.040 Roll off some of them 20s.

00:40:44.880 Print up a couple of thousand sheets of those century notes.

00:40:48.420 Sure, the glut of dollars will cause even more inflation, but who cares?

00:40:52.180 Everybody will be a millionaire.

00:40:53.260 Millionaire, I guess is what it ended.

00:40:57.760 Amazing.

00:40:58.200 Does this sound familiar at all?

00:41:00.140 It's modern monetary theory.

00:41:02.000 It really is.

00:41:03.740 People keep giving credit to these obscure economists.

00:41:06.480 It was Dan Aykroyd, apparently.

00:41:10.120 All right.

00:41:11.020 When we come back, I'm going to teach you something that I learned over the weekend about our money.

00:41:19.920 It's amazing.

00:41:21.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:23.680 Let me tell you about American financing.

00:41:25.480 If you are looking to save money, you're looking to buy a house, if you want to get rid of those high interest credit cards, now's the time to do it.

00:41:36.400 Now's the time to do it.

00:41:37.300 It's interesting.

00:41:38.760 They haven't seemingly, like the market keeps going up, but they don't seem to be pricing in the fact that inflation and interest rates are going to be going up.

00:41:47.780 I mean, this is something where you have this small window before they've actually increased, where you can lock these low rates in.

00:41:53.080 And I have a feeling, I mean, the Fed now has just came out last week or the week before and said, looks like we could go up in the next few months, two points in interest rates.

00:42:02.680 Oh, my gosh.

00:42:03.160 That is gigantic and will really hurt.

00:42:07.080 Tens, hundreds of thousands of dollars on a home.

00:42:09.020 Yeah.

00:42:09.200 So call American Financing today, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or AmericanFinancing.net.

00:42:17.940 It's AmericanFinancing.net at 800-906-2440.

00:42:22.760 Do it now while you still can.

00:42:26.620 All right.

00:42:27.040 We want to talk a little bit about Title 42.

00:42:31.940 And for the life of us, we can't come up with any political reason why the Biden administration is doing this.

00:42:42.460 Coming up.

00:42:42.980 We've got no room to compromise.

00:43:07.880 We've got to stand together.

00:43:12.380 Stand up straight and hold the line.

00:43:21.720 It's a new day, I'm trying to rise.

00:43:28.200 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:34.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:36.580 Stand up.

00:43:42.380 I want to talk to you about what is happening on our southern border.

00:43:47.720 On May 23rd, the president is lifting Title 42.

00:43:53.000 Now, I'm going to explain all of this in a second, but the DHS is now bracing, and I'm quoting,

00:44:02.380 for as many as 500,000 migrants in the first six weeks.

00:44:11.120 500,000 in the first six weeks.

00:44:15.200 They're talking about taking doctors from our VA hospitals and bringing them down to the border.

00:44:24.320 Can you think of a good reason?

00:44:31.700 Can you even think of a political reason to do this?

00:44:37.540 Unless you just want to cause chaos and destruction.

00:44:41.400 People will say, wow, they want voters.

00:44:44.940 No, no, no, because they'll lose too many voters on just this.

00:44:51.080 Really?

00:44:51.720 Is that what they're looking for?

00:44:53.800 Help me out.

00:44:55.600 Because it happens on May 23rd.

00:44:59.460 And, gosh, if we keep going at this pace, there may not be a country left to vote in.

00:45:06.080 By the fall.

00:45:09.620 We begin there in 60 seconds.

00:45:13.920 On another brilliant move, the state of Washington has decided that by the year 2030,

00:45:19.580 they are going to completely ban non-electric cars.

00:45:24.160 I'd like to say that would never happen, but yeah, yeah.

00:45:29.480 I've given up that phrase.

00:45:31.480 Bad news is, this is the kind of thinking that is catching on,

00:45:34.120 and it's already difficult and expensive to get your car repaired now.

00:45:39.460 Imagine when the government says, we want all these cars to be replaced.

00:45:44.720 You're not going to be able to find and afford to fix your car.

00:45:49.720 This is insanity what's going on.

00:45:52.980 Carshield.com slash Beck.

00:45:55.180 This is a way for you to get your car fixed and you lock in your prices.

00:45:59.560 Right now, if you call 800-391-8888, you'll save 10% on your plan and you'll lock in the pricing for as long as you own that car.

00:46:11.580 So your price never goes up, even though the rates of fixing your car are going to go way up.

00:46:19.040 Carshield.com slash Beck.

00:46:21.220 It's a way for you to inflation-proof your car repairs.

00:46:25.860 Deductible may apply.

00:46:27.240 Call 800-391-8888.

00:46:29.520 It's carshield.com slash Beck.

00:46:33.440 Okay.

00:46:34.860 Welcome to the program.

00:46:39.360 We're so glad that you're here today.

00:46:43.580 Let me just go through what's happening on our border.

00:46:48.120 Remember, the DHS is bracing for as many as 500,000 people coming across our border in the six weeks following Title 42 being lifted.

00:47:02.120 Now, our White House has announced that this is happening on May 23rd.

00:47:08.040 So we're giving everybody, all of the enemies of the United States, plenty of notice.

00:47:14.860 It's going to be chaos on our border that weekend and probably for the next month.

00:47:20.940 So you want to come in, you want to, you know, drag some missiles behind you.

00:47:24.540 We're probably not going to catch you because there's going to be 500,000 people.

00:47:30.840 According to the Border Patrol, if half a million people come in one month, that is an emergency.

00:47:39.900 There is no way we have enough federal agents and NGOs and NGAs.

00:47:44.600 There's not enough people going around.

00:47:46.880 It's literally going to be a revolving door, getting people in, getting people out.

00:47:53.340 There's not enough medical personnel.

00:47:55.380 You know, we want to give everybody a vaccine.

00:47:57.600 If you want to come in, you got to get a vaccine.

00:47:59.300 Not enough medical personnel to provide the COVID vaccines that the Biden administration has promised anybody who comes across.

00:48:09.260 I don't think that's really a, hey, we're going to give you a vaccine, a vaccination.

00:48:14.240 I don't think that's actually a draw, but maybe, maybe to some it is.

00:48:18.660 And we, and that's the thing.

00:48:20.580 This is the only vaccine mandate that has any sort of legal standing, right?

00:48:26.420 We can absolutely tell people coming into our country. 1.00

00:48:30.600 We have borders.

00:48:31.340 We have, we're a sovereign nation.

00:48:33.120 We can tell people coming into our country whether they can get, I mean, we require all sorts of vaccines and medications for people.

00:48:40.380 Many times just to visit, let alone coming across the border to, to immigrate into the country.

00:48:46.300 We can do that.

00:48:47.400 It's amazing that this long after we're trying to take and tell truckers in their trucks by themselves, driving around the country that they have to get vaccinated or they can't work.

00:49:00.580 But we have not been doing this to illegal immigrants crossing this border.

00:49:05.380 I, I flew this weekend.

00:49:08.980 I can't take the mask thing anymore.

00:49:11.160 I can't, I can't believe that.

00:49:12.120 I can't take the mask anything.

00:49:14.080 I can't.

00:49:14.760 And it won on the flight out.

00:49:17.520 I went to Phoenix this weekend, the flight out.

00:49:19.620 And I walk on and I have the, I mean, I have the mask right at the tip of my nose and the steward, as soon as I walk in, she just points at my nose and gives me a dirty look like, get that above your nose.

00:49:31.020 I just wanted to say, are you serious?

00:49:33.400 So I did fly there on the way back.

00:49:36.920 At least the pilot got it.

00:49:38.500 The pilot was like, I am sorry.

00:49:40.640 We have to ask you this.

00:49:41.700 This is a federally mandated rule and I know it's not happening everywhere else, but please do this.

00:49:48.440 They're very serious.

00:49:50.100 They can take away your right to fly and everything else.

00:49:53.660 I mean, it enough, enough, especially on it.

00:49:58.280 I mean, do we have to say it, especially on an airplane with the highest quality air filtration you get anywhere in your life is on an airplane and this is the place where it is.

00:50:07.740 And the reason why it exists still, it's the one place that they have Joe Biden can still control.

00:50:13.760 Yep.

00:50:14.260 That's the one.

00:50:14.860 He can't control Florida.

00:50:16.520 He can't control Texas.

00:50:17.700 Can't even control California, but he can still control these planes.

00:50:21.340 So they're talking about now giving all these vaccines and they're, they're thinking about pulling medical personnel from our VA hospitals.

00:50:30.500 Are you kidding me?

00:50:31.840 People who went to combat might have to wait for a while because we got to give medical attention to illegal immigrants on the border. 0.98

00:50:42.940 The Biden administration is also looking at doing NTAs notices to appear with minimal biometric data and vetting just to get people through.

00:50:53.420 They're also mean.

00:50:54.860 They also are considering skipping critical paperwork.

00:50:58.080 Uh, so, I mean, they're going to come in and I mean, if I were an enemy of this country, I'd be, I'd have my plans already made.

00:51:06.260 I'd, I'd already be here.

00:51:07.640 I'd be in Mexico waiting right now.

00:51:10.340 Luckily they've announced the date.

00:51:12.000 So you can plan your travel to our border to cross in illegally.

00:51:16.160 Well, the Biden administration is also going to deploy a smart app for the illegals to use to submit to pre-screening.

00:51:24.620 So we're going to provide our tax dollars are going to provide an app for illegals to use. 0.66

00:51:33.260 So they don't have to stand in line so long.

00:51:38.300 Oh my gosh.

00:51:40.040 Oh my gosh.

00:51:41.600 It's CBP one.

00:51:43.340 It's an app originally devised to make it easier for known travelers to enter and go across the border.

00:51:48.080 It is now being thought of, uh, as an easy way for folks just to get in.

00:51:53.000 They are now preparing for double the number of migrants that came in 2021.

00:52:01.300 It's double the amount of people that came in, in, uh, 2021.

00:52:07.620 So the first year, how many was that?

00:52:10.120 Was that 2 million?

00:52:11.020 Did we hit 2 million?

00:52:12.780 I don't remember the number exactly.

00:52:14.440 It was huge.

00:52:14.980 It's gotta be 2 million.

00:52:16.140 I bet it's 2 million because if 500,000 are coming in, in the first six weeks, that's gotta be a bit of a number of 4 million by the end of the year.

00:52:26.100 That'll be 6 million new people.

00:52:31.120 Oh, and by the way, they're not completely blind to the problems it's going to create.

00:52:35.720 There's going to be a lot of people whose, um, pronouns, the border patrol is going to get wrong.

00:52:42.000 And so they put out, uh, last week, some new regulations.

00:52:46.460 The border patrol has all of the LGBTQI plus, uh, pronouns and the ways to deal with people, the gender neutral language, and they will be held accountable. 0.88

00:52:58.460 If they're not using gender neutral language, our borders, our border patrol.

00:53:03.140 God bless those guys.

00:53:04.840 I don't know how you guys are doing it still, but thank you.

00:53:09.800 Thank you for doing it.

00:53:11.740 So border crossings, 2020, 400,000.

00:53:15.720 2021, 1.6 million.

00:53:18.380 So just four times, that's the fiscal year 2021, but four times the amount.

00:53:23.900 And they're expecting an increase from this.

00:53:25.880 Double.

00:53:26.000 This has been a crisis since Joe Biden walked into office.

00:53:31.300 Day one.

00:53:31.760 And you remember the people coming across saying, yeah, well, we, we know Donald Trump didn't want us here.

00:53:36.980 And Joe Biden said we should come.

00:53:39.060 He said in the debate in front of everybody that we should come to the border.

00:53:42.800 So we've been given permission to come.

00:53:45.180 We're, we're here because of Joe Biden.

00:53:47.400 That crisis hit.

00:53:49.060 There were a few questions from mainstream media.

00:53:51.400 There was a good, if you remember this, a shocking, uh, spattering of journalism, a scattered shower of journalism, if you will,

00:53:59.180 for about two weeks where they asked questions about this and seem to cover it in mainstream media, because it was such a crisis.

00:54:05.560 It has not abated since then.

00:54:08.220 It's increased.

00:54:09.140 The problem has been, is worse from when that first started under Biden has increased this entire time and remained at these high levels.

00:54:17.560 And now he's going to do this, which is something that is guaranteed to make the problem much, much worse.

00:54:23.660 And this is why we kind of, as you were teasing earlier, we were discussing off the air.

00:54:28.060 What just politically speaking, what is going on here?

00:54:31.840 Because the, the, the history of this title 42 is basically at the very beginning of COVID Trump stepped up and said, Hey, we don't know what's going on with this.

00:54:41.300 We don't want any outbreaks coming in across the border.

00:54:43.600 We need to shut, we need to shut that situation down and get, which is completely consistent with all of his other policies.

00:54:50.980 I mean, he got blamed, you know, Oh, he's a racist.

00:54:54.520 No, it's consistent.

00:54:56.500 It's consistent with logic.

00:54:58.780 Yeah.

00:54:59.460 Oh, it is totally consistent.

00:55:01.160 Especially when Mexico, especially at the beginning was doing nothing to fight COVID at all.

00:55:06.420 So they had massive, massive problems going on there.

00:55:10.800 And president Trump said, look, we're not going to import COVID.

00:55:14.640 We're gonna have to deal with our own stuff here.

00:55:16.200 Let's not import it from other countries.

00:55:17.860 Totally sensible thing.

00:55:19.040 The left of course, jumped to the conclusion.

00:55:20.900 Well, he's always wanted to close the border and he's just using this to, to halt people coming across.

00:55:27.120 Same people who were screaming at us that we have to have masks.

00:55:30.240 We must stay inside.

00:55:32.360 Fascinating how this happens.

00:55:33.400 So Biden comes in on a campaign, especially to his hardcore left-wing supporters, where he tells them constantly, I'm going to undo all these unjust border policies of Donald Trump.

00:55:46.100 Number one on the list is this is title 42.

00:55:48.780 So he comes into office.

00:55:50.140 Everyone's expecting within the first week, he's going to lift this thing because obviously it's just, it's just, uh, you know, targeting minorities. 0.52

00:55:57.200 Well, he doesn't lift it.

00:55:58.240 And then we have, uh, a period where the, we start having lower death rates from COVID.

00:56:04.160 We have our spikes, but they're not as bad as previous ones.

00:56:07.300 And everyone's like, Hey, why are you, why are you keeping this, this title 42 thing going?

00:56:14.140 Why are you blocking people from coming across the border?

00:56:16.420 And Biden's answer was basically, we just take COVID way too seriously.

00:56:19.680 It's so serious.

00:56:20.460 We can't, we can't do it.

00:56:21.440 And nobody buys this.

00:56:22.340 The people on the left correctly say, you're just, you're just extending Trump's policies because it, what helps you control the border and you don't have another massive political crisis on your hands, but we don't care about that.

00:56:35.100 You told us you were going to do it.

00:56:36.100 You better do it.

00:56:36.800 So this pressure has been rising from the far left for a long time.

00:56:41.640 And now here we are in 2022, the elections underway, uh, you know, basically we've already had primaries, like we are in the middle of it right now.

00:56:49.960 And right now is when they're going to lift this, this, uh, rule, which is going to allow millions of people to cross the border.

00:57:00.560 And it's almost definitely going to cause a massive crisis, which is just, if you're going to do it, either you do it when you first get in and you get through that wave.

00:57:10.260 And you, by the time 2022 rolls along, you're through it, or you wait until December of 2022 after the election's over, when you still have Congress, you don't need Congress for this particular rule, but like you still have the support, you get anything you need to get done.

00:57:25.120 You could still get done.

00:57:26.980 And you'd think they would go along with it that you'd think they'd get it done after the election instead of doing it now.

00:57:34.300 So he either thinks he's not considering politics.

00:57:37.900 He's got something else on his, on his mind, which is chaos, chaos, or squirrels with Biden.

00:57:42.760 Who knows what it is?

00:57:43.540 It could be anything.

00:57:44.720 Right.

00:57:44.940 Or he's thinking we are so lost in this election that we just need to sure up the base and get as many of these blue districts to remain blue.

00:57:54.160 Forget the purple ones.

00:57:55.360 They're toast already.

00:57:56.400 Just go after the hardcore supporters.

00:57:58.400 Could be that.

00:57:59.280 But I mean, that's, neither one of those is, is really, is because your hardcore supporters are not enough.

00:58:06.100 They're just not enough, especially, I mean, look, the Democrats were always the ones that were against illegal aliens.

00:58:15.680 You know, Cesar Chavez was against illegals.

00:58:20.060 Cesar Chavez went to the border to turn people around and to show how bad it was.

00:58:24.960 The Americans have always been horrible because they take good jobs away from Americans. 1.00

00:58:31.060 Americans are struggling right now, really struggling hard.

00:58:36.320 Their taxes are about to go through the roof, through the roof because of the Biden budget.

00:58:44.960 I mean, it is taxes, taxes, taxes, taxes, taxes, and more taxes.

00:58:51.840 And you're going to be you're going to be hammered by prices or taxes.

00:58:57.940 One way or another, you're going to be paying for these taxes from the budget because they're they're killing jobs. 0.71

00:59:05.760 Our tax hike is going to go up to twenty eight percent for corporate.

00:59:10.280 So, you know, that's higher than communist China's income tax on corporations at twenty five.

00:59:19.740 Europe is at the their average rate for corporate taxes is nineteen.

00:59:25.260 We'll be the highest in the world.

00:59:27.560 What do you think that's going to do to hiring?

00:59:32.920 And when there are more mouths to feel a feed and our cities are overrun, how do you think that's going to work to the Democrats advantage?

00:59:43.800 It's not.

00:59:45.780 So help me out.

00:59:49.380 Besides chaos.

01:01:13.140 Oh, my gosh.

01:01:25.020 You want to add top of this?

01:01:27.520 Barack Obama is going to the White House tomorrow when he will join President Biden and Vice President Harris for a health care event.

01:01:36.460 He's going to deliver remarks celebrating the success of the Affordable Health Care Act and Medicaid in extending affordable health insurance to millions of Americans.

01:01:48.600 This is being done because Joe Biden is going to be adding more benefits, more benefits to the to Obamacare.

01:02:00.960 Fantastic.

01:02:02.500 Right.

01:02:03.160 Just as we're getting all kinds of new citizens without jobs.

01:02:09.060 How how does this work, Stu?

01:02:11.560 How does this work?

01:02:13.420 It doesn't.

01:02:14.480 This is why we oppose it.

01:02:16.820 But this I don't know.

01:02:18.900 What is it, Glenn?

01:02:19.380 Is it ideology?

01:02:20.340 Is it something?

01:02:20.920 Guys, I don't think Biden.

01:02:23.480 Is that is he's not AOC, right?

01:02:26.440 He's he's always sort of.

01:02:28.760 But he is swam with the current.

01:02:30.340 He is a great reset guy.

01:02:34.320 Yeah.

01:02:34.540 And you have to collapse.

01:02:36.760 The system is waiting now.

01:02:38.460 The system is there before.

01:02:40.740 They didn't have a system for this to to collapse into.

01:02:44.140 You know, you never collapse something unless you have it ready to go.

01:02:48.980 And I really, truly believe they are just waiting for the thing that will make Americans go, OK, all right, just I'll do it, whatever.

01:02:57.840 Just go.

01:02:58.600 And this just adds to that pressure, you know, increasing taxes.

01:03:05.580 I mean, the taxes alone, if you don't think all of that tax money that's going on to the corporations is going to be paid for by the consumer, you're sorely mistaken.

01:03:16.180 If you don't think that it will it will it will cost jobs, you're sorely mistaken.

01:03:22.820 You know, it's going to mean lower employees hiring lower employment numbers.

01:03:37.620 It's going to mean higher inflation.

01:03:40.220 It's going to be extra frustration because you won't be able to make ends meet and your employer is not going to want to give you a raise.

01:03:48.320 And you're going to have to pay through the hidden tax, the passed on tax every time you go try to buy a product that these corporations are selling because they're not going to take 10 percent of their earnings and just eat it.

01:04:03.920 They're going to pass that tax on to you back in a minute.

01:05:39.320 I want to introduce you to a governor that you should know.

01:05:51.000 He's from Nebraska.

01:05:52.200 His name is Pete Ricketts, and he's joining us now because he is actually trying to veto federal funding.

01:06:01.060 That he says will make people more reliant on the government.

01:06:04.900 I tend to agree with him on this, but he's a Republican who's fighting the Republicans who are going to override his veto.

01:06:13.140 So when you hear this story, I hope if you're in Nebraska, you will call your your legislator and say enough is enough.

01:06:24.080 Welcome, Governor.

01:06:25.000 How are you, sir?

01:06:26.200 I'm doing great, Glenn.

01:06:27.120 Thanks very much for having me on.

01:06:28.240 You bet.

01:06:28.580 So tell me the situation.

01:06:30.480 This is this is about the the money that was going to help people pay rent because of covid.

01:06:37.800 Right.

01:06:38.660 Right.

01:06:39.040 Exactly.

01:06:39.380 So this is the emergency rental assistance program.

01:06:41.220 It was about a twenty five billion dollar program.

01:06:44.340 And, you know, when we have emergencies, we recognize we need extra assistance.

01:06:48.640 You know, first of all, Nebraskans always take care of their neighbors.

01:06:50.800 We saw that in the floods we had in twenty nineteen and through this pandemic.

01:06:54.920 And so we have an emergency.

01:06:56.960 We ask for extra assistance.

01:06:58.480 But we also at some point have to recognize that the emergency is over and we don't need the money for the assistance anymore.

01:07:06.780 And that's what's happening right now.

01:07:08.520 You know, I ended the emergency for the pandemic last June here in Nebraska.

01:07:12.480 Good for you.

01:07:13.160 And so we just don't have a justification for taking this money.

01:07:16.340 It's supposed to be tied to paying for people's people who are impacted by covid.

01:07:21.480 And, you know, we do this for floods.

01:07:23.160 We do it for tornadoes.

01:07:24.240 We ask for emergency assistance.

01:07:25.380 But we don't ask for the money if we don't have an emergency.

01:07:28.300 And right now we don't have an emergency.

01:07:30.200 We've got the lowest unemployment rate in the United States and lowest in state history.

01:07:34.480 We've got more people employed today.

01:07:36.340 Sixteen thousand more people employed today.

01:07:38.620 Then we did pre-pandemic.

01:07:40.340 More people employed manufacturing since 2008.

01:07:43.960 And frankly, none of the nonprofits who are asking for this money have ever been able to show me that somehow things today are different from 2019.

01:07:52.680 So we just don't have a justification for taking this money.

01:07:55.200 And now, of course, the second round of this emergency rental assistance program is not even tied to covid.

01:08:00.080 You can just pay people's rent.

01:08:01.600 Well, that's big government socialism, right?

01:08:03.460 We don't want to just pay people's rent.

01:08:05.080 That's not who we are in this country and certainly not in Nebraska. 0.55

01:08:08.580 And yet I've got a legislature who is trying to who's passed a bill, which I vetoed, that is trying to force me to take this additional federal money.

01:08:16.240 And the veto override will be tomorrow, Tuesday, April 5th.

01:08:19.280 And so I'm encouraging people to reach out to their state center and tell them don't take this big government socialism program.

01:08:24.340 So what is the Republican excuse for this?

01:08:27.960 Because you have, if I'm not mistaken, you have about 40 percent of all the money from the first round still sitting there waiting to be used.

01:08:36.700 So if people need to have a bailout, you know, on their rent because of covid, find it kind of hard to believe at this point.

01:08:45.580 But if you did, all right, you got 40 percent of the money you got last time.

01:08:50.400 So what is their excuse as Republicans?

01:08:55.220 Yeah, I know you're exactly right.

01:08:56.380 We we've we've used actually we've only used about 40 percent of the money.

01:08:59.960 So we still have plenty of money left through the end of the year.

01:09:02.480 You know, you can apply in September.

01:09:03.740 It'll take you through December.

01:09:05.200 And I don't think anybody's thinking this emergency is going to last longer than that.

01:09:09.040 In fact, our hospitalizations are the lowest we've had since maybe July of last year.

01:09:14.120 And so their excuse when they say this is, well, it's free federal money.

01:09:18.260 And of course, it's not free federal money.

01:09:20.260 Right.

01:09:20.560 We pay that taxpayer dollars.

01:09:22.800 Right.

01:09:23.160 Yeah.

01:09:23.720 And like, well, what if some other state gets it?

01:09:25.760 I'm like, well, first of all, when we have emergencies like floods or tornadoes, we ask for money if we need it.

01:09:31.720 But if we don't have an emergency, we don't ask for the money.

01:09:34.320 If another state has a tornado, they ask for the money.

01:09:37.660 So this is that we're not an emergency.

01:09:39.600 We shouldn't be asking for this money.

01:09:40.940 It's just wrong.

01:09:41.600 And then, of course, they're like, well, if we don't take the money, somebody else will get it.

01:09:46.160 And that just means that somebody else is going to be paying people to stay home.

01:09:49.340 That's bad for them.

01:09:50.300 Right.

01:09:50.580 If you're paying people's rent and all the other benefits we've doled out here and here in the state of Nebraska now, we're either we've either distributed or in the process of distributing over twenty one billion dollars.

01:10:01.460 You're paying people to stay home.

01:10:03.900 And I've had landlords contact me to tell me, like, they see the people that are in these programs and they're by and large a lot of people who could be working.

01:10:11.840 And that's the problem is if we're paying people to stay home, they will.

01:10:14.300 And that's what we need to get people back to work.

01:10:16.580 These programs are corrosive.

01:10:18.140 They teach people to be reliant on government, especially when they're not even related to being COVID related anymore.

01:10:23.160 Yeah, I understood, you know, when the government was putting people out of business and then telling people, you know, you don't have to pay rent.

01:10:31.360 OK, what about the landlords?

01:10:33.120 And, you know, what about I didn't have a job because I didn't have a business because you told me to close down?

01:10:38.460 At that point, I understood it, especially, however, in your case where there are more people employed than there were prior to the pandemic.

01:10:49.680 You seem to be on the right track, one of the few places that are really on the right track.

01:10:55.140 I know wanted help wanted signs are everywhere here in Texas.

01:10:59.180 And it's not because we're growing jobs faster than we're importing people.

01:11:03.940 It's that there are too many people that just have decided not to go back to work or that those jobs are beneath them.

01:11:09.780 This is very un-American. 0.89

01:11:11.720 Have you asked those Republicans where their principles are?

01:11:16.700 Well, that's part of the problem, isn't it?

01:11:18.220 And when I talk to some of these Republicans about this, they're like, well, I'll take that into consideration.

01:11:23.060 Take it into consideration.

01:11:24.820 Yeah, I know.

01:11:25.640 I know.

01:11:26.280 It's like, hey, guys, this is about principles.

01:11:28.880 Like, we as Republicans stand for, of course, we help people when they're in need.

01:11:33.980 But if we're not in need, we don't just dole out government money to people.

01:11:37.420 That's not who we are.

01:11:38.840 But unfortunately, many times you get so many folks who get elected that don't have fundamental principles.

01:11:43.980 And so they kind of blow in the wind, whichever the, you know, the trend is, you know, whatever the de jure of the day, you know, the policy.

01:11:53.220 Yeah.

01:11:53.460 That the buddies are all trying to get them to do.

01:11:55.100 You know, you got all these lobbyists in our Capitol building telling them they got to take the money.

01:11:59.140 And that's part of the problem.

01:12:00.280 So may I ask you, I just looked up your unemployment rate.

01:12:03.960 It is 2.1.

01:12:06.220 And I don't want to just go off the unemployment rate, but there are more people in Nebraska employed than pre-pandemic.

01:12:17.000 Because, you know, they've recalculated the way that we look at our unemployment now.

01:12:20.880 They just stopped counting those people who could be working but aren't.

01:12:24.820 So what are you doing to get it to 2.1?

01:12:27.960 Well, first of all, we never shut down.

01:12:30.940 We never had a statewide mask mandate.

01:12:32.540 We never did vaccine mandates.

01:12:34.300 We slowed the spread of the virus while letting people live a more normal life so that we were able to keep our mortality rates down, keep kids in schools, keep people in their jobs.

01:12:43.240 And that momentum helped to carry us through this pandemic.

01:12:46.040 And like I said, I ended the emergency last June on the pandemic.

01:12:49.820 So we're actually pretty much back to normal now, which is why we don't need additional programs to pay for people's rent.

01:12:55.900 We're back to normal here.

01:12:56.860 You know, there's always been people who have been impacted by different circumstances that need help with their rent.

01:13:03.840 And we should work to help those people.

01:13:06.380 But a big government program like this, where it's another, you know, $120 million coming into our state that would just basically teach people to stay home, that's not what we need.

01:13:16.580 That's not how we're going to get people back to work.

01:13:18.280 We need to engage people, get them back into the workforce.

01:13:21.500 You know, here in Nebraska, we do have the highest workforce participation rate, the highest employment to population per capita ratio.

01:13:27.500 So Nebraskans do like to work, but we need more people back in the workforce, and paying them to stay home is not going to do it. 1.00

01:13:33.560 Governor, I have to tell you, this is the best story I've heard in a while.

01:13:37.780 The story that I always loved from the Depression was Hoover.

01:13:44.480 Hoover, there was a big storm.

01:13:46.420 I think it was here in Texas.

01:13:47.620 Big storm that went on, and he decided to dispatch the feds to help, and the county turned them around at the county line.

01:14:00.360 The people, not the police, the people, blocked the road and turned the trucks around and said, we don't need any help.

01:14:06.920 We're fine here.

01:14:08.200 Sent the trucks back home.

01:14:09.820 Congress wanted to pass for all this support.

01:14:12.160 It was, it failed, and the American people actually raised more money than what the bailout would have been.

01:14:21.780 We are in a time now where people are just expecting everything.

01:14:25.760 We're living in a time where everybody feels they're entitled to something.

01:14:31.820 I am glad to see the state where my grandmother lived and my mother was born in.

01:14:37.560 I am glad to see that you are holding up the work ethic and the ethics that made America truly the breadbasket of the world.

01:14:48.580 Well, thanks.

01:14:49.500 And, you know, Nebraskans do. 0.97

01:14:50.580 They take care of each other.

01:14:51.600 That's what we should continue to do is look to take care of folks in our local communities and not ask for federal money when we don't have a federal emergency.

01:15:00.340 We're supposed to be taking care of ourselves.

01:15:02.020 That's always been the strength of our country.

01:15:04.300 Going back to Alexis of Tocqueville, he commented on that, you know, in the 1830s.

01:15:07.840 That's the strength of America.

01:15:09.360 So a lot of people who aren't in your state would go, oh, as a politician, he's probably running.

01:15:13.900 You're not, you're term limited out now.

01:15:17.320 That is correct.

01:15:18.000 What's next for you?

01:15:19.480 Well, first thing I'm going to do is go on vacation with my wife. 0.62

01:15:21.740 Yeah.

01:15:22.060 Because I want to stay married.

01:15:22.980 Yeah, yeah.

01:15:23.800 And then I want to stay involved in politics and public policy.

01:15:27.620 I just don't know what that looks like right now.

01:15:29.140 Okay.

01:15:29.640 Good for you.

01:15:30.340 Thank you very much, Governor.

01:15:31.320 I appreciate it.

01:15:32.320 All right.

01:15:32.580 Hey, well, thanks a lot, Glenn.

01:15:33.300 Thanks for having me on.

01:15:34.300 Governor Pete Ricketts from Nebraska.

01:15:37.660 Isn't that amazing?

01:15:39.460 Call, call your senators.

01:15:42.840 If you live in Nebraska and tell them, okay, enough is enough.

01:15:47.020 Do we have some principles here?

01:15:49.700 Well, it's other states are going to get it.

01:15:51.280 If you say this, if everybody was jumping off a bridge, would you jump off the bridge?

01:15:56.740 Do I need to be your mother?

01:15:58.320 For the love of Pete.

01:16:00.760 All right.

01:16:01.080 Let me tell you about rough greens.

01:16:02.180 Don wrote in about his dog's experience with rough greens.

01:16:04.880 He said, I've never seen my dog lick the bowl clean as often as she does now.

01:16:08.300 And it's because she's looking for remaining traces of rough greens.

01:16:13.160 She loves it.

01:16:14.500 Thank you so much.

01:16:15.520 No doubt about it.

01:16:16.760 Don, your dog is not unusual.

01:16:18.820 If you just started rough greens, you ain't seen nothing yet.

01:16:23.040 Wait until you start to see the changes in your dog's behavior and activity level.

01:16:28.200 It is truly remarkable because rough greens, not a dog food, but a supplement that you put on the dog, the dog's food.

01:16:34.240 They love it.

01:16:35.040 And it's probiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, omega oils, all the things that your dog needs for a healthier life.

01:16:42.580 All the things I guess we can make it taste good to dogs, but we can't make it taste good for humans.

01:16:47.660 Is that what I got here?

01:16:49.280 Folks at rough greens are so confident your dog is going to love it.

01:16:52.500 They want to make sure that you don't pay for it.

01:16:56.480 They'll just charge you for shipping for the first bag.

01:16:59.360 Just put it on your dog's food because it's no good for you if your dog doesn't eat it.

01:17:02.860 But they know they're going to love it.

01:17:06.040 You just pay for the first bag.

01:17:09.220 It arrives.

01:17:09.860 You put it on the food.

01:17:10.620 If they like it and they're eating it, order the bag, the next bag, and watch your dog change its health and attitude and activity level.

01:17:20.500 833-G-L-E-N-N-33, 833-G-L-E-N-N-33, roughgreens.com, slash Beck.

01:17:27.280 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:17:29.220 Miss a day, miss a lot.

01:17:31.160 Visit blazetv.com today and never miss a moment of truth.

01:17:50.500 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:17:57.200 Still, I'm going to show you some things.

01:17:59.520 And if you have the blaze, you can see this now on the blaze, but I'll describe it if you're just listening to us.

01:18:07.160 Do you know what this dollar bill is?

01:18:09.600 This is a dollar that looks normal, except for maybe one thing on it, besides the wording at the top.

01:18:16.120 Yeah, it's a little bit older, obviously.

01:18:18.600 A blue seal.

01:18:20.780 What's it say at the top?

01:18:22.840 Silver certificate.

01:18:23.920 Silver certificate.

01:18:24.800 Okay.

01:18:25.280 So this is what our money looked like when we were still gold and silver.

01:18:28.980 Okay.

01:18:29.220 So you could trade that in for silver.

01:18:30.600 Now, I learned something over the weekend I didn't know.

01:18:36.620 When we went to war, you know, you bring over pallets of cash.

01:18:41.280 See if this sounds familiar.

01:18:42.600 You bring over pallets of cash.

01:18:45.140 And when you do pallets of cash, because you might lose and you're not going to be able to just grab the pallets and run with the cash, you might have to leave it behind.

01:18:56.460 In World War II, does that sound familiar by any reason or anything?

01:18:59.940 In fact, I kind of remember this from the Afghanistan withdrawal.

01:19:02.240 Yeah.

01:19:02.300 Yeah.

01:19:02.740 There's a lot of cash just laying around.

01:19:03.920 So when we went to Africa to fight against Rommel, we printed these dollars, and these were the pallets that came to Africa.

01:19:12.420 Notice the difference.

01:19:13.600 It's not a blue seal.

01:19:14.560 It's a brownish seal.

01:19:15.720 It's a, yeah, it's like a yellow, yellow seal.

01:19:18.160 Okay.

01:19:19.360 When the Japanese bombed us in Pearl Harbor, this is one's in bad condition.

01:19:25.440 It's a brown seal.

01:19:26.440 Brown seal.

01:19:26.760 Yeah.

01:19:26.860 And just to make sure, we took all the money and we stamped Hawaii on the back. 0.88

01:19:32.960 Yeah.

01:19:33.120 Big letters.

01:19:33.920 Just a big stamp on the back just says Hawaii.

01:19:36.500 You know why we did that?

01:19:38.440 Why?

01:19:38.840 Because if we lost the island of Hawaii, we didn't want the Axis power to have all of our cash. 0.99

01:19:48.260 And so what we did was we made sure that if we had to leave Hawaii or if we lost in Africa, we could just say the treasury is no longer accepting the yellow seal or the brown seal marked Hawaii.

01:20:07.900 And that way, the Axis power couldn't use the pallets of money. 0.56

01:20:15.680 Now, let me ask you, do you think we did that in Afghanistan or on the tarmac in Iran?

01:20:25.280 Wait, just even if you didn't cancel it, when we send all that pallet of money over to Iran, wouldn't have been interesting if we marked it in some way.

01:20:36.580 So we at least knew how it had traveled, whose hands it got into whose hand is that going to.

01:20:43.680 We didn't do that?

01:20:47.020 Not that they'll admit.

01:20:49.220 Now, maybe they did.

01:20:52.240 But gosh, that's fascinating.

01:20:54.740 It's fascinating.

01:20:55.220 They would honestly that the U.S. government would even think about this.

01:20:59.600 I feel like they're so incompetent.

01:21:01.380 I know.

01:21:01.520 Isn't that just like this?

01:21:02.880 This shows you the greatest generation.

01:21:04.720 This is this is a generation that it's not like, oh, you know, we just bring more money.

01:21:09.640 No big deal.

01:21:10.580 We got it.

01:21:11.400 Isn't this what they're going to claim, though, is the benefit of the new digital programmable dollar?

01:21:16.300 Yeah.

01:21:16.500 Well, in seeing that we did it in 1941 without any computers, I think we can do it.

01:21:23.800 I know what your argument is, but isn't their argument going to be?

01:21:27.540 Yes, it will.

01:21:28.040 Well, we can just turn off the Russian oligarchs money when we correct you.

01:21:31.420 They can't spend it anywhere.

01:21:32.660 It will be.

01:21:34.140 That will probably scare you, not because you're a Russian oligarch, but because they're going to vilify in the future.

01:21:39.540 What does that do with Russia that creates a new, entirely new market that goes around the federal government?

01:21:48.820 Right.

01:21:49.820 What do you think will happen when they start shutting down people, Americans from that because you're spending it in the wrong way?

01:21:59.280 It will create a black market that goes around the federal government.

01:22:05.140 It's the worst idea you can think of.

01:22:08.560 But that's exactly the ideas.

01:22:10.500 I mean, I think I miss the commercials.

01:22:12.620 Do you have a really bad idea?

01:22:14.780 One that will destroy America?

01:22:17.180 Then you need to apply at the White House.

01:22:20.120 I mean, honestly, it's such a bad idea.

01:22:25.200 Of course, they're going to do it.

01:22:30.080 It's kind of the standard at this point.

01:22:32.180 It really is.

01:22:32.480 How bad of an idea is it?

01:22:34.060 No, come on, kid.

01:22:35.340 You're a rookie.

01:22:36.040 We got really bad ideas over here.

01:22:38.380 Let me tell you about Grip6.

01:22:44.760 They are a great company.

01:22:46.520 They have comfortable, fashionable, customizable belts.

01:22:49.560 They have awesome wallets.

01:22:50.720 They have great socks as well.

01:22:52.300 We even saw an incredible preview of the socks when Glenn put his foot up to the camera last week.

01:22:59.200 That was a wonderful moment.

01:23:00.380 Again, Hall of Fame broadcaster, as you, of course, noticed.

01:23:03.180 I mean, come on, man.

01:23:04.080 That's what you would expect from Hall of Fame.

01:23:06.020 I remember when Walter Cronkite did the whole foot.

01:23:08.240 You wouldn't do it, would you?

01:23:08.900 No, I would not.

01:23:10.660 Right.

01:23:11.480 But they're great socks.

01:23:12.660 I can tell you that for sure.

01:23:13.760 Wear them all the time because they're super warm for this impossibly cold studio.

01:23:18.220 But also, they're not like super thin or super thick.

01:23:22.660 They can fit in your shoes.

01:23:24.460 The belts are really stylish and cool and simple.

01:23:28.800 And all of this combines to tell you about a company that makes great products,

01:23:34.120 but also believes in America as well.

01:24:41.400 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:46.220 Say it!

01:24:47.580 Hello, America.

01:24:49.760 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:51.840 Elon Musk, over the weekend, bought a few shares of Twitter.

01:24:58.240 And he's now the largest shareholder in Twitter.

01:25:03.940 Is there maybe a Twitter Freedom Day coming?

01:25:07.400 I'm not really sure, but I want the life of Elon Musk.

01:25:14.080 You know what I mean?

01:25:14.580 Getting up in the morning going, hey, you know what?

01:25:17.760 Let's go to Mars.

01:25:19.780 Wait, before we go, I think I want to buy Twitter because they're pissing me off.

01:25:24.980 Is that the great?

01:25:26.280 There's a guy who knows how to be a billionaire.

01:25:29.200 Now, let me tell you about realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:25:36.560 If you are buying a home, if you're thinking about selling your home,

01:25:40.300 now is the time, now is the time.

01:25:43.800 We are going to see some problems with people buying homes

01:25:47.480 because the interest rates are going up through the roof.

01:25:50.560 And if you're looking to buy a home, you have to have the right real estate agent.

01:25:57.420 You have to know which one is going to get the most money out of your house,

01:26:02.700 get you out of that house as fast as possible

01:26:05.340 because they have the right advertising campaigns,

01:26:08.720 and a real pro on negotiation for the other side of the bargain,

01:26:14.300 and that is buying the new house.

01:26:15.980 So whether you're selling your house and you're moving across the street

01:26:19.340 or you're selling your house and you're moving across the country,

01:26:22.180 realestateagentsitrust.com will be able to recommend the right real estate agent for you.

01:26:27.860 This is my company.

01:26:29.360 These are agents that don't work for me, but we have vetted them.

01:26:33.480 We have 10,000.

01:26:35.060 I was just told this, Stu, last week.

01:26:37.860 We now have 10,000 real estate agents on a waiting list to be a part of our network,

01:26:44.740 but we won't do it because we can't keep on top of 10,000 people.

01:26:51.280 So we keep the number as low as we can to be able to make sure

01:26:55.700 that we are following everything that everybody's doing

01:26:59.100 because we want to recommend the right people to you.

01:27:01.040 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:27:05.340 All righty.

01:27:06.200 So Elon Musk, he did a couple of things that I love.

01:27:10.560 He acquired almost 10% of Twitter.

01:27:13.740 It makes him the largest stakeholder.

01:27:16.320 Jack only has about 2% of the company.

01:27:19.500 Now, so far, I believe this is a silent partnership part.

01:27:22.680 I mean, he can do some things, I guess, to gain some seats on the board.

01:27:27.340 And I wish you would, Elon, please.

01:27:31.100 I mean, and this is what he, it is 9% stake is what he disclosed in a financial disclosure, right?

01:27:37.080 So we don't know how much he has now.

01:27:40.320 Could be more.

01:27:41.120 Oh, that's what, yeah, that's what he bought.

01:27:42.840 Yeah, this is what he bought so far, but he could be,

01:27:45.360 he could have been acquiring it the whole time.

01:27:48.260 He seems to be pretty focused on Twitter.

01:27:51.220 He seems to be critical of Twitter.

01:27:54.460 And he seems to be stepping up to the plate.

01:27:56.640 And you, if you happen to be Twitter, you might not want him stepping up to the plate.

01:28:00.520 Oh, please step up to the plate. 0.81

01:28:03.200 Wouldn't it be nice to have somebody that, like Elon Musk,

01:28:06.500 is out there actually saying the truth and batting for you?

01:28:10.980 And I say this, I mean, look, I don't agree with Elon.

01:28:14.700 The guy is a global warming guy, okay?

01:28:17.340 Like, not just a global warming guy, a guy who believes it so much,

01:28:21.880 he's building spaceships to get off the planet.

01:28:25.000 Now, I personally believe that it is global warming plus what he sees coming in technology,

01:28:32.940 because he believes transhumanism is coming.

01:28:36.380 And he believes that the human species will not exist on Earth by 2050.

01:28:44.900 And so he believes that the only chance of the humans actually being like we are now,

01:28:52.780 not engineered, but being like we are now,

01:28:56.040 the only chance of survival is on another planet.

01:29:00.280 But, anyway.

01:29:02.560 Well, that's the point, though.

01:29:03.960 This is a guy who...

01:29:05.560 Acts on what he believes.

01:29:07.120 ...believes it.

01:29:07.840 Yep.

01:29:08.060 And he's living an incredible life.

01:29:10.740 He really is.

01:29:11.380 He'll just be like, ah, screw it.

01:29:12.760 And he earned it.

01:29:14.680 I mean, he made his own money.

01:29:16.400 I mean, he took bailouts, or not bailouts, but he took money during TARP, which I didn't like.

01:29:22.020 Was it TARP, or was it...

01:29:22.920 He got a lot of the cash for clunkers or something.

01:29:26.540 There's tons of incentives to buy electric cars built into our economy.

01:29:31.800 Yeah, he might have gotten that early.

01:29:33.100 Well, yeah.

01:29:34.000 Tesla gets a ton of that money, because they're really the only electric car out there.

01:29:37.820 I don't think now you have to be...

01:29:39.920 He's been opposing it now.

01:29:40.760 He's been saying he doesn't want it.

01:29:42.620 Yeah, because it comes with strings attached now.

01:29:44.320 You have to be a union shop. 0.96

01:29:45.880 You have to be creating good union jobs.

01:29:48.320 And that's not them.

01:29:49.600 No.

01:29:50.080 It's such a fascinating...

01:29:51.100 He's a...

01:29:51.420 This is one of the reasons why people are fascinated by him, but he does not fall into...

01:29:55.320 Any easy category.

01:29:56.260 Any easy category.

01:29:57.460 And, you know, he's been opposing...

01:29:59.860 One of the big things in this...

01:30:01.280 One of these big Biden bills, I think it was Build Back Better,

01:30:03.320 was a fortune to build an electric car charging network across the country.

01:30:09.960 He's like, well, we're already doing that.

01:30:11.760 We don't need your money for that.

01:30:12.900 We're doing it already.

01:30:14.680 We...

01:30:15.160 We...

01:30:15.760 And you don't want him to do that, because you can't control that.

01:30:20.040 Yeah.

01:30:20.680 And, you know, we've talked a decent amount about the car industry over the past few months.

01:30:25.160 And as people may note, I'm now past seven months of ordering my car and still do not

01:30:30.760 have one.

01:30:31.360 I'm already looking for a gift for your 12-month anniversary.

01:30:34.280 Oh, it's going to be...

01:30:34.840 It's going to be special.

01:30:35.620 It's going to be special.

01:30:36.560 I'm going to bring candles in.

01:30:37.980 But there is...

01:30:38.880 You have the Tesla chargers, which work on Teslas.

01:30:41.420 And then you have other charger networks that are being built by other companies, like

01:30:46.160 Volkswagen is building a big one across the country.

01:30:48.120 But you see the locations of them.

01:30:50.500 If you buy a car that is not a Tesla, that's an electric car, and you want to use a fast charger...

01:30:54.760 Now, you can charge it at your house, but it takes a long time, multiple days, if you're

01:30:58.260 just plugging it into a normal outlet.

01:31:00.260 It is...

01:31:00.740 You can get it done overnight if you get special industrial-strength stuff installed into your

01:31:04.980 house.

01:31:05.400 Right.

01:31:05.700 But, I mean, that's what you do if you're going to get it.

01:31:07.720 You want to save money at the gas pump.

01:31:09.440 Yeah.

01:31:09.700 You just get one of those big, expensive superchargers, you know.

01:31:15.100 Or, you know, if you can't afford it, and a lot of people can't, don't worry.

01:31:18.800 Your car will be charged in three days.

01:31:21.700 But you have some place to go.

01:31:23.800 I hope not.

01:31:24.760 But it's true, you can find Tesla chargers at malls, and restaurants, and all over the

01:31:33.220 place.

01:31:33.400 Gas stations.

01:31:34.440 Movie theaters.

01:31:35.000 Movie theaters.

01:31:35.880 Places, you pull up, there's one place I take the kids to breakfast, they've got two

01:31:40.060 Tesla chargers right out in front of it for, I mean, rarely filled, but still, they're there.

01:31:44.980 They're there.

01:31:45.680 A lot of times, they're there in better parking spots than the handicapped spots. 0.99

01:31:50.160 Oh, yeah.

01:31:50.340 They're always in the front, or close to the front.

01:31:52.120 Which is incredible.

01:31:53.020 Yeah.

01:31:53.220 But that network is built out relatively widely, depending on where you live.

01:31:58.020 You look at the other one, one of them's called Electrify America, which is, I think,

01:32:01.680 the Volkswagen one.

01:32:02.560 And they're building it up.

01:32:03.320 And they have, like, fast chargers located, like, for the Dallas-Fort Worth area, which

01:32:08.900 is a big, you know, city, huge city.

01:32:11.220 It's only on the, like, on the extended exurbs.

01:32:15.640 Right?

01:32:16.380 Like, if you're going from here to Austin, on the way out of Dallas, you can find a charger.

01:32:23.060 Right?

01:32:23.700 But that's it.

01:32:25.760 And there's one place there on the road.

01:32:29.320 You better stop there.

01:32:30.940 Or you're going to have to plug in and wait for three days at somebody's house.

01:32:33.940 Right?

01:32:34.340 You've got to stop right there if you're not driving a Tesla.

01:32:36.980 If you're driving a Tesla, well, there's 15,000 places to go.

01:32:40.060 And they're building that out on their own.

01:32:41.600 You know, you would think that maybe people would learn the lesson of a universal plug.

01:32:47.800 Hmm.

01:32:48.160 How about everybody just makes the same plug?

01:32:50.160 I mean, if I'm running a car company, I'd be like, will I work on everybody else's plug?

01:32:55.060 Oh, there's already, even outside of Tesla, there's two different options. 1.00

01:32:59.080 That's stupid. 0.97

01:33:00.080 You look at the places, some of these charging stations have to have three different kinds 1.00

01:33:04.120 of quote-unquote pumps to be able to hook up to the three different kinds. 1.00

01:33:07.840 That is just so stupid. 0.99

01:33:09.200 I mean, eventually, I think it is going to unify behind something. 1.00

01:33:11.980 But Tesla wants it to be there.

01:33:13.080 So, here's the other thing.

01:33:15.480 Fine.

01:33:16.200 Fine.

01:33:16.540 Whatever.

01:33:17.080 If you're Volkswagen, make it like Tesla.

01:33:19.840 You'll double the value.

01:33:22.360 You'll double the value.

01:33:23.580 Anyway, another thing that he tweeted this weekend, let me see if I can find the exact

01:33:30.620 verbiage.

01:33:34.700 The more I study it, I don't have it right in front of me.

01:33:38.080 Hang on.

01:33:39.480 I think he said, the more I study it.

01:33:43.760 Here it is.

01:33:46.580 I'm increasingly convinced that corporate ESG is the devil incarnate.

01:33:53.580 Now, that's saying something.

01:33:56.620 That's not Glenn Beck saying that.

01:33:57.920 No, that's coming from a guy who believes in global warming.

01:34:02.560 Built an electric car company.

01:34:04.120 Built a spaceship company.

01:34:05.760 Right.

01:34:06.240 A spaceship company.

01:34:07.820 Right.

01:34:09.060 He believes it's the devil incarnate.

01:34:14.040 That's remarkable.

01:34:15.540 Elon Musk saying this will change the direction because Elon Musk, there's a lot of people

01:34:25.440 who, you know, don't listen to me or don't like me or whatever.

01:34:30.180 That's definitely true.

01:34:30.920 I can back that up.

01:34:31.580 Okay.

01:34:31.900 All right.

01:34:32.180 No, it's definitely true.

01:34:33.360 Confirmed.

01:34:33.800 But Elon Musk.

01:34:35.020 Fact check, true.

01:34:35.760 Is.

01:34:38.920 Okay.

01:34:39.660 We got it.

01:34:41.860 But Elon Musk has such a wide reach universally.

01:34:46.380 Yeah.

01:34:46.640 I get this from people all the time when we have events and stuff and people are walking

01:34:50.320 around like we have the museum here or something and we're talking to people who've been listening

01:34:53.960 to the show for a long time and they, to convert it to this particular topic, it's I've had

01:34:59.880 to listen to through, you know, get through 25 segments of Glenn blathering on about ESG

01:35:07.680 scores and I never heard it from anybody else and then all of a sudden everyone's talking

01:35:13.660 about it and that is, I think, the case here.

01:35:16.740 You're seeing it with Elon Musk.

01:35:17.880 You're seeing it, if you read any financial publication, they're talking about it all the

01:35:21.200 time now.

01:35:21.540 All the time.

01:35:22.020 Um, these things, you know, people try to say it was a conspiracy theory.

01:35:26.200 Obviously, it's not.

01:35:27.580 It's something that is building in a big way is already taken over Wall Street.

01:35:32.040 And like, you know, like the concept is somewhat understandable, right?

01:35:35.880 Like if you could, if they gave you an option to invest in things that promoted the free market,

01:35:42.600 promoted individual rights.

01:35:43.900 I'd love it.

01:35:44.420 I would be for that.

01:35:45.640 It's like, you know what?

01:35:46.420 I don't like these algorithms that sort my news.

01:35:52.020 Okay.

01:35:52.820 I'm not against them.

01:35:54.740 I'd like to control it.

01:35:56.520 Yeah.

01:35:56.700 I'd like less of this, more of this, less.

01:35:59.740 Give me a dashboard so I can control it and find the setting for me.

01:36:04.820 You know what I mean?

01:36:05.620 So I don't have a problem with that.

01:36:07.920 And if you wanted to do ESG, then could you do, you know, one on the Constitution, one on values,

01:36:20.960 one on, you know, not having your son sell out to communist countries?

01:36:26.980 I mean, I'm just saying.

01:36:28.420 It's not as catchy as ESG.

01:36:29.720 It's not.

01:36:30.300 But, you know, Burisma would be out.

01:36:33.720 You know, Bank of China would be out.

01:36:36.240 Right.

01:36:36.620 The city of Moscow I couldn't invest in. 0.99

01:36:40.000 You know, if you wanted to have ESG, because this is the dumbest part of their argument. 0.87

01:36:46.880 This is only done for people. 0.76

01:36:48.940 A lot of people want to invest that way.

01:36:50.520 Yeah, I know a lot of people that would like to not throw their money behind places like Disney.

01:36:56.760 But are you showing me all the ones, all the companies that are so woke and are spending tons of money?

01:37:05.060 Verizon giving money to Planned Parenthood.

01:37:10.320 I'd like just a fund called B for babies.

01:37:15.520 You know, hey, these are all the companies that are not investing in killing babies.

01:37:21.440 That would be great.

01:37:22.660 And you can pick whatever you wanted.

01:37:25.820 That's not what this is.

01:37:27.140 Right.

01:37:27.320 A menu of options is something I think that is.

01:37:30.220 It is a free market thing.

01:37:32.000 However, the way that they're instituting the ESG is not necessarily stopping at a menu.

01:37:37.540 They're implementing it in a way that they can't get capital if they do not hit the requirements of this menu.

01:37:43.960 And so it's controlling the way that companies do business.

01:37:47.060 And that is the problem.

01:37:48.960 You know, how you can look at what has happened over the past couple of months and think that what we need to do is invest less in fossil fuels is beyond me.

01:37:59.160 We absolutely should be investing more, even Elon Musk, who is, again, not just a global warming believer, but is completely insane in this belief.

01:38:09.080 Yeah.

01:38:09.500 I mean, he is farther to the global warming alarmist side than almost anyone I know in the entire public life.

01:38:20.760 He is literally that far.

01:38:22.420 He's done certainly more to not just step up and tweet about it, not just hashtag.

01:38:27.140 He's built multiple companies to address this.

01:38:29.720 He's risked his entire fortune to do this, to stop global warming.

01:38:34.560 And here is he.

01:38:35.400 He's saying things like, hey, we need to really ramp up our oil and gas drilling here in the United States because it only helps his company.

01:38:44.020 Right.

01:38:44.840 But it doesn't in the end.

01:38:46.160 Yeah.

01:38:46.240 By the way, the new budget from Biden, 11 different tax increases on the oil and gas industry, which the deduction.

01:38:56.680 They're getting rid of the deduction for intangible drilling costs, which allows independent producers to immediately deduct business expenses related to drilling, such as labor, site preparation, repairs and service work.

01:39:08.760 2014 by Wood McKenzie consultant repealing the deduction for those would result in a $407 billion reduction in investment.

01:39:20.360 Roughly 25% of the capital used by producers to continue investing in new projects.

01:39:26.460 Okay, but but but only 25% that's one of the taxes that he's putting on oil and gas, plus your ESG back in just a second.

01:39:38.340 I don't know if you saw, but it looks like Russia is golding going on a gold standard.

01:39:43.760 Russia is saying you can only buy their their oil now and gas in rubles.

01:39:49.220 Nobody really wanted to do that.

01:39:51.360 So what did Putin do?

01:39:52.660 He said, you know, 5000 rubles is worth, I think, one gram of gold and you send him the gold.

01:40:02.540 He'll give you the rubles.

01:40:04.560 Then you can buy the oil and send the rubles back to him.

01:40:08.140 He's just he's putting a gold standard together.

01:40:10.440 Not going to be good for those who don't have a gold standard because we are not even thinking about it and the world will reset. 1.00

01:40:20.560 Please.

01:40:22.060 Things are going to be so radically different soon and you're going to be in a situation to where you're going to have to make choices that you're not going to want to have to make.

01:40:32.680 But by not making the choice to call gold line today, you are making a choice and it will limit what you're able to do in the coming months and years.

01:40:47.100 Please, please.

01:40:48.600 By the way, him doing the Putin going on to the gold standard.

01:40:53.780 What do you think that's going to do the price of gold?

01:40:55.940 And what do you think it's going to do for those who bought paper gold?

01:40:58.580 It's got it could end that market gold line. 0.66

01:41:03.320 I have trusted them.

01:41:04.460 They were a I was a client of them before they were a client of mine.

01:41:08.940 I believe in this this company right now.

01:41:11.840 They are offering six percent in bonus medals for qualifying IRA orders that you can either put into your IRA account or have delivered directly to you.

01:41:21.000 Call gold line today.

01:41:21.940 Eight six six gold line eight six six gold line or gold line dot com.

01:41:26.360 Ten seconds station ID.

01:41:28.580 So I love Governor DeSantis.

01:41:44.100 I think he's great.

01:41:47.120 He was in a speech and he said he's thinking about reevaluating Disney special privileges for Florida.

01:41:54.120 He said somebody said, hey, Disney has all these special perks.

01:41:57.880 Should you retaliate against them for coming out and demagoguing this bill?

01:42:02.560 I said, I don't believe you retaliate.

01:42:04.880 But I do think as a matter of first principles, I don't like special privileges in law just because one company is powerful and they've been able to wield a lot of power.

01:42:14.540 Uh, you have no idea what that means to Disney that would be massive to Disney when Walt first started to negotiate for Disney World.

01:42:30.060 He was buying up so much land and only the all the states were vying for him.

01:42:37.400 Texas.

01:42:38.220 I think it was Missouri.

01:42:39.700 It was St.

01:42:40.500 Louis and Florida.

01:42:42.180 They were in the the end and the at the very end.

01:42:45.560 It was just between St.

01:42:46.700 Louis and and Florida and St.

01:42:50.080 Louis would not allow a park that didn't carry beer.

01:42:53.100 I think that was the thing in the end that killed it and he wanted Florida really bad because of the sunshine.

01:43:00.540 But Florida knew what he had done to California and he said, I'm going to make whatever state it is.

01:43:05.680 I'm going to make it the number one destination in the world and Florida wanted it really, really, really bad.

01:43:12.780 So he negotiated a deal.

01:43:14.440 If I put my park here, I'm practically not in Florida.

01:43:19.660 I don't have to worry about your laws.

01:43:21.920 He has the right or had the right to his own nuclear power facility.

01:43:27.820 He has the right to his own police force, his own towns.

01:43:33.880 They that is property as close as you can get to not a part of Florida.

01:43:41.100 Nobody.

01:43:41.620 I don't think anybody in the world has this kind of deal with any land.

01:43:48.680 They wanted it so badly.

01:43:51.500 They gave him everything. 0.99

01:43:52.700 They process their own garbage.

01:43:54.480 They they have their own recycling.

01:43:57.020 They have everything.

01:43:58.580 Water filtration.

01:43:59.780 They do all of it themselves.

01:44:02.400 They don't want the state.

01:44:04.460 That's why when you go to Disney, if you've ever noticed, as soon as you take the exit, all the roads change.

01:44:09.840 Because that's their property.

01:44:12.860 They maintain those roads.

01:44:15.200 Those are their roads.

01:44:16.540 You do notice the difference.

01:44:17.560 You do immediately because it's theirs.

01:44:20.340 And you take away those special privileges and Disney is not going to like it.

01:44:27.680 Can you imagine Disney inspectors, you know, state inspectors coming in and inspecting absolutely everything?

01:44:36.240 And and I want to see your plans for this.

01:44:39.000 I want to see your plans for that.

01:44:40.280 What are you doing with your water and your garbage? 0.92

01:44:43.080 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. 0.98

01:44:45.000 Your police.

01:44:47.000 Yeah, let's let's let's talk about some of these things.

01:44:50.500 Now, some of these have gone away because of Walt's death.

01:44:54.320 They let them erode.

01:44:55.620 But there's still a ton of privileges for Disney.

01:45:00.140 And Governor DeSantis.

01:45:03.700 Oh, I urge you.

01:45:05.720 I urge you to open that up.

01:45:09.240 You want to see a corporation get really quiet?

01:45:13.140 Open that up.

01:45:15.800 Take those special privileges away. 0.89

01:45:18.360 That's why they're so arrogant.

01:45:34.820 Inflation is rising.

01:45:36.260 There are worsening bottlenecks.

01:45:37.840 Grocery stores are struggling to keep food on the shelves.

01:45:40.400 And it is only going to get worse.

01:45:42.500 A huge recession and a collapse of our dollar.

01:45:46.740 I think I'm safe to say I don't know when, but a collapse of our dollar is coming.

01:45:51.600 It is coming.

01:45:53.480 In what we're facing now is going to be unlike any recession we've ever had.

01:45:57.800 It will hearken back to the Great Depression.

01:46:01.100 At least that level.

01:46:03.600 We're going to make it.

01:46:04.820 But you've got to do some things to prepare for it.

01:46:07.900 You've got to start looking at your world in a different way.

01:46:11.340 First thing you do is make sure that your mortgage is not adjustable.

01:46:15.160 That your mortgage rate is locked in as low as you can.

01:46:18.420 You get out of those high interest credit cards because those aren't locked in.

01:46:22.260 And it's going to get really bad.

01:46:24.300 Pay them off if you can.

01:46:26.240 If you need help, look at your mortgage.

01:46:28.560 Call American Financing right now.

01:46:30.520 They could save you up to, you know, a couple hundred bucks to a thousand bucks a month.

01:46:36.520 You can close in as little as 10 days and skip two mortgage payments.

01:46:59.840 I want to fix something.

01:47:03.760 In my last commercial, I said it was AmericanFinancing.org.

01:47:07.300 It is not.

01:47:07.980 It's AmericanFinancing.net.

01:47:09.860 AmericanFinancing.net.

01:47:11.460 Okay.

01:47:11.760 Let me go back to Ron DeSantis coming out and saying, you know, I might look at some

01:47:21.340 of these special perks.

01:47:23.440 You really want to change.

01:47:25.140 Well, first of all, let me say this.

01:47:26.440 Can you imagine if your family owned a huge swath of land and because of that, you were

01:47:32.520 just getting richer and richer and richer and more and more powerful in the state?

01:47:36.640 Do you think if your parents set it up and then died and you inherited it, do you think

01:47:44.360 your kids, the third generation, do you think they're going to be in touch with the people?

01:47:51.380 You think that they're going to care really about anything?

01:47:54.780 Or do you think they're going to be so arrogant?

01:47:56.740 They've had no laws apply to them.

01:47:59.420 So they're special in this state.

01:48:01.860 Everybody else has to, but not us.

01:48:03.900 Do you think they're going to be monsters?

01:48:07.620 Yeah.

01:48:08.180 And the company has turned into that at some point.

01:48:10.320 It's a monster.

01:48:10.820 So when you say they're not, they don't have any of these laws apply to them.

01:48:14.940 Like, you know, there's a murder that happens.

01:48:17.720 The police come in.

01:48:18.340 The regular police come in.

01:48:19.540 Yeah, FBI comes in for that.

01:48:21.520 Or will this, it could be a state police, right?

01:48:24.180 Yeah, a state until the FBI arrives.

01:48:26.060 It's a, that's a.

01:48:27.020 Well, yeah, some, some.

01:48:28.340 Yeah.

01:48:28.640 Right.

01:48:28.820 Um, but, uh, like if you're, you're breaking a major rule outside, authorities may come

01:48:36.340 in, but if you're on the normal, like, like, I'm looking at the list of this law enforcement

01:48:42.900 handled by.

01:48:43.880 Yeah.

01:48:44.240 By their own jails.

01:48:45.480 They have everything.

01:48:46.240 They have their own mayor protection.

01:48:47.780 Imagine a company with no environmental protection.

01:48:50.860 Imagine.

01:48:51.600 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:48:53.000 Imagine a company that is on swampland, okay?

01:49:01.220 All that water.

01:49:03.660 They're on that land and they can move as much dirt anywhere they want, any way they want.

01:49:11.420 They don't have to care about, oh, the pockmarked, you know, alligator.

01:49:17.160 They don't have to worry about any, any environmental, uh, restrictions.

01:49:23.060 This isn't something that Exxon would dream for.

01:49:25.940 Dream of.

01:49:26.640 Right.

01:49:26.960 Okay.

01:49:27.340 They don't have to worry about that.

01:49:28.900 Imagine you are a company that is doing rides, roller coasters, all these things.

01:49:35.500 You don't have to worry about the building codes.

01:49:37.340 Don't worry about it.

01:49:38.040 So they get to judge the safety of their own rides.

01:49:41.700 They have their own building codes.

01:49:43.000 Yeah.

01:49:43.180 Um, because, because they, they were responsible.

01:49:48.460 They were a responsible, reasonable company.

01:49:53.000 Now.

01:49:53.300 And the reason why is not because of the amusement park.

01:49:56.760 Okay.

01:49:57.380 The reason why Florida gave it to them because Florida politicians wanted the money and wanted

01:50:04.540 Florida to become the number one destination, which it is.

01:50:07.420 It worked.

01:50:07.980 This actually is one of those ideas that worked.

01:50:09.920 Okay.

01:50:10.240 The reason Walt wanted it, however, and would not negotiate on it is because he wanted to

01:50:18.160 build Epcot, which is not what you go to now.

01:50:22.100 Not an amusement park.

01:50:22.940 He was trying.

01:50:24.420 He wanted one only because Roy made him the magic kingdom was going to be the only thing

01:50:30.300 for rides.

01:50:31.000 Okay.

01:50:31.840 That would fund Epcot, Epcot experimental prototype city of tomorrow.

01:50:39.320 He was redesigning everything about a city.

01:50:43.800 I mean, everything.

01:50:45.940 And so he wanted his, he wanted to have the right.

01:50:49.280 I need nuclear power to run this.

01:50:51.280 He could build a nuclear power plant.

01:50:53.200 I, I, I'm going to put all of the traffic, you know, four stories below the city, all traffic.

01:51:02.560 Okay.

01:51:03.920 And he had the right to do any of it.

01:51:08.780 It's fascinating.

01:51:10.120 Still has it.

01:51:10.900 It's interesting because as a person who likes limited government, I like this experiment.

01:51:16.940 And I think there should be more of this stuff going on, but they're the only ones that get

01:51:21.200 it.

01:51:22.540 That's the problem, right?

01:51:23.640 It's, it's, it's just doled out to this one company who, which now seems to want to

01:51:28.220 get involved in state matters like the, uh, I hate to call it the don't say gay bill, but

01:51:33.460 that's what everyone knows it by at this point, uh, because this is sort of the tie because

01:51:37.220 I don't personally like the idea and I know maybe this makes me a squish and a wuss, but 0.99

01:51:42.480 I don't like the idea of just changing rules for unrelated revenge reasons.

01:51:50.360 Like you did something I don't like you oppose this bill. 0.73

01:51:53.760 Don't say gay that I supported. 1.00

01:51:55.660 And now we're going to come after you and punish you. 0.99

01:51:59.200 I don't like, I don't like that because it has nothing to do with their, their, um, their

01:52:05.980 rights as a self-governing entity.

01:52:08.520 If the self-governing entity is bad policy, overturn it for that reason.

01:52:12.300 If it's good policy, not only keep it, but give it to others.

01:52:15.160 So this was good policy for a long time.

01:52:17.940 Okay.

01:52:18.580 But it's no longer good policy. 0.97

01:52:20.700 It's now become bad policy because they're so arrogant.

01:52:25.340 You want to stick your nose into, can you imagine, do you think SeaWorld got all those

01:52:31.240 perks?

01:52:31.820 No.

01:52:32.300 Yeah.

01:52:32.960 Uh, so can you imagine trying to compete against Disney that can build a hotel to their

01:52:39.380 specifications?

01:52:40.580 Not a single EPA guy comes out to say, you can't put that building here.

01:52:45.800 Nothing.

01:52:47.400 You want to talk about an unfair advantage.

01:52:50.600 That would be it.

01:52:52.520 That would be it.

01:52:53.740 Imagine trying to compete.

01:52:55.560 And it's, it actually hurts the city of Orlando because you don't, they have so much land.

01:53:04.420 If you're going to Orlando and you're going to go to the park, you're going to probably

01:53:07.460 go there if you can afford to stay there.

01:53:10.840 Okay.

01:53:11.880 But the reason, the reason they're gouging your eyes out.

01:53:15.000 Imagine how much it costs just for the environmental impact in Florida.

01:53:19.960 They don't have to worry about it.

01:53:22.460 Oh my gosh.

01:53:23.560 And again, like, I think that seems to be the type of policy we should pursue for lots

01:53:27.260 of companies.

01:53:27.920 If you buy your land, you should be able to do what you want on the land.

01:53:30.700 You want on them.

01:53:31.280 I mean, within reason, within reason, right?

01:53:33.220 Um, like build your own nuclear power plant.

01:53:35.720 Yeah.

01:53:36.100 That, that one might be a little questionable.

01:53:38.140 Well, that's when at a time though, at a time we believed in nuclear power.

01:53:41.220 Yes.

01:53:41.880 Some of us still do.

01:53:43.900 There's a lot to be said for this.

01:53:45.200 Uh, but, uh, I think what Ron DeSantis is doing here is it's, he's trying to say, you

01:53:51.200 know, not, it's not revenge.

01:53:53.480 They have these perks and if they want to be involved in overturning laws, then they

01:54:00.760 need to be, they need to be a part of the state like everybody else, right?

01:54:03.600 Exactly right.

01:54:04.360 Like step up to the plate and say, Hey, uh, I'm a full citizen of this community and

01:54:09.520 then my voice will matter more when it comes to statewide events.

01:54:12.500 I believe they have their own educational system for kids.

01:54:15.360 I think they have their own educational system for their employees, kids on property and

01:54:21.600 they're no, they do their own thing.

01:54:26.140 Imagine that.

01:54:27.300 Imagine being able to be a, imagine being able to say incredible power.

01:54:31.160 I mean, yeah.

01:54:32.080 Mercury studios.

01:54:33.120 I'm going to set up a school next door.

01:54:35.080 I mean, nobody would, you would want to do that except for history.

01:54:37.580 We'd be very good at history.

01:54:39.040 Math would be like, I don't know, 12.

01:54:42.500 Uh, that's the highest number.

01:54:44.720 So 12, it's all, it's on this ruler here.

01:54:48.260 Um, but, uh, uh, imagine that, imagine being able in your own town to not have to worry

01:54:54.800 about going to anybody for any permit.

01:54:57.020 Just we're going to start our own school.

01:54:59.680 Yeah.

01:55:00.160 And you really do, uh, see the advantage.

01:55:03.220 This is, this is, it's not just a nice thing for Disney to develop their property.

01:55:07.220 It is a structural advantage against all the universal and all these other parks that are

01:55:11.360 sitting there trying to, to do this.

01:55:13.280 They don't have any of these perks only Disney does.

01:55:15.500 Unfair advantage.

01:55:15.860 And like, look, I would like to see probably it go the other way and give more of these

01:55:21.620 rights to more companies and private landowners.

01:55:24.240 But until you're going to do that, you know, do, do they have this right to be singled out

01:55:30.000 like this?

01:55:30.420 If they're going to come in and criticize the people of the state who elected these

01:55:34.500 representatives to pass laws, just, you gotta, you gotta, it's like, if you, if you want

01:55:38.980 all this free stuff, zip it.

01:55:40.720 You know what?

01:55:41.120 If you don't want the free stuff, fine, complain all you want.

01:55:43.300 And you can be on the same playing field with everybody else.

01:55:45.100 If you want all this free stuff, if you want all these awesome perks, then zip it.

01:55:49.800 The reason why the reason, one of the reasons why Walt was so adamant about it, not only

01:55:55.980 because of Epcot, but because he had learned he was over in California and he could not do

01:56:02.180 things in California.

01:56:04.100 Imagine, imagine if you had to build Disneyland in California today, you couldn't do it.

01:56:13.500 Just the, he built that he was raising money.

01:56:18.060 The summer of 54 got the money.

01:56:23.180 And I think September announced it September, October ish and cut the ribbon in July of 55.

01:56:35.680 You couldn't even get the calls.

01:56:38.840 They wouldn't even called you back from the EPA.

01:56:41.320 And he got it all done.

01:56:43.720 He got it all done.

01:56:45.000 That's why this is such a disadvantage.

01:56:47.340 You're right.

01:56:48.480 Repeal them for everybody.

01:56:50.780 Let's, let's talk sanity here.

01:56:53.860 But nobody wants to be saying, and I've seen some other people on Twitter and stuff saying,

01:56:57.940 well, we should go after everything.

01:56:59.700 We should go after their trademarks, for example.

01:57:02.000 No, we should not.

01:57:02.680 Like, I don't think, I don't think they should be treated more poorly than any other company 0.99

01:57:07.480 because they have an opinion, a dumb opinion on a bill. 0.98

01:57:10.420 Here's an idea. 0.98

01:57:11.960 What Disney is experiencing is equity.

01:57:17.760 I'd like equality.

01:57:21.200 Just because of their status, they shouldn't get more.

01:57:24.600 Right.

01:57:25.120 And just because I don't like them, they shouldn't get less.

01:57:29.860 They should live under the same rule.

01:57:32.040 This is a crazy idea.

01:57:34.160 Everyone should, man, we should write this down because I find this almost self-evident.

01:57:39.440 Everyone should live under the same laws that everyone else has to live under.

01:57:44.760 Seems old and antiquated and dusty.

01:57:46.860 It does seem dusty.

01:57:48.200 Yeah.

01:57:49.260 Don't even write that down.

01:57:50.280 What a waste of ink.

01:57:51.100 All right.

01:57:52.820 Evelyn wrote in about her experience with Relief Factory.

01:57:55.060 She says, I was unable to walk further than one house away from my own.

01:57:58.900 Now I'm feeling so much better.

01:58:01.020 I think better than I ever did before.

01:58:03.060 I can't put a price on how good I'm feeling.

01:58:07.240 I'm so overwhelmed with joy.

01:58:09.760 I just want to write and say thank you.

01:58:12.320 Evelyn, thank you.

01:58:14.180 I love hearing stories like yours.

01:58:16.900 I used to live my life in probably not as much pain as you were in, but with a lot of pain.

01:58:24.860 And it stopped me from doing all of the things.

01:58:26.900 And honestly, I got to the point where I like this is going to be my life now.

01:58:31.060 I that was so defeating.

01:58:33.880 I hated that.

01:58:35.620 Now I have my life back and you can, too.

01:58:39.080 Will you just try for three weeks the quick start?

01:58:43.500 It's $19.95 from Relief Factor.

01:58:45.820 It's a dollar a day.

01:58:47.060 You take it three times a day.

01:58:49.440 Hundreds of thousands of people like me and like Evelyn have ordered Relief Factor and about 70% of them go on to order more.

01:59:29.220 Yeah.

01:59:30.600 Welcome to the GlennBeck program.

01:59:33.760 Stu seems to have kind of a tough time with this DeSantis.

01:59:39.420 No, I am skeptical of things that feel revenge-y.

01:59:44.760 Like, was DeSantis planning on doing this before they came out against this bill?

01:59:48.800 No.

01:59:49.160 Like, it didn't seem like I didn't hear.

01:59:50.440 Well, I mean, but we weren't thinking about arresting Ted Bundy before he started killing people either.

01:59:57.600 This isn't necessarily tied directly.

01:59:59.860 He's made a tie.

02:00:00.840 Yeah.

02:00:00.960 I like the policy, so I'm willing to accept his tie.

02:00:04.320 But do you think it's...

02:00:05.460 But, I mean, like, clearly he wasn't doing this two months ago.

02:00:09.600 And now he's bringing it up because he's upset at the way that they're handling this.

02:00:13.080 And they're coming after a law that representatives of the people wanted.

02:00:18.160 And his point is, look...

02:00:19.420 And the people of Florida want...

02:00:21.560 Overwhelmingly, when they're told what's in it.

02:00:24.040 You know, it's a 70-25 issue.

02:00:26.580 Correct.

02:00:27.200 And they are...

02:00:28.460 I mean, think of...

02:00:29.460 Disney is not just Disney, but also the movies.

02:00:34.820 They're also Marvel.

02:00:36.720 They're also Star Wars.

02:00:39.380 They're the parks.

02:00:40.620 They are ABC News, ABC Television.

02:00:45.120 And they're also...

02:00:46.420 What am I missing here?

02:00:47.400 ESPN.

02:00:48.460 I mean, their effect on culture.

02:00:50.440 They say, don't say gay, Bill.

02:00:53.100 It's the don't say gay, Bill.

02:00:55.620 Oh, yeah.

02:00:56.140 And you can't find headlines...

02:00:57.940 No.

02:00:58.360 ...without that wording used.

02:01:00.140 I mean, the media has wholeheartedly...

02:01:02.040 Correct.

02:01:02.400 ...embraced it.

02:01:03.000 And where did it come from?

02:01:04.460 You know, I went back to try to trace down where this came from.

02:01:08.440 Because it's always in quotes.

02:01:09.620 Well, who said it?

02:01:11.100 Where did it come from?

02:01:12.080 Who are you quoting?

02:01:13.260 Does anyone know who they're quoting?

02:01:15.060 I can't find exactly where it started.

02:01:17.180 The first tweet comes from some really random organization...

02:01:21.740 Yeah.

02:01:22.280 ...about, like, the right to read?

02:01:24.180 Mm-hmm.

02:01:25.020 And then there's a bunch of, you know, rainbow Democrats and equality Democrats that all came out on the same exact day.

02:01:33.340 Seemingly out of nowhere calling this bill the exact same thing.

02:01:36.260 It's really, really fascinating to trace the history back.

02:01:39.900 So, I can understand, like, why...

02:01:41.760 Look, you don't get these perks if you're going to try to...

02:01:48.860 If you want to be a full member of society in Florida, then you need to be a full member of society in Florida.

02:01:56.980 Florida, yeah.

02:01:57.980 Florida didn't give it because of any other reason than they wanted the tourism.

02:02:03.300 Okay?

02:02:03.680 Totally.

02:02:03.860 So, Disney made good on that.

02:02:06.900 And Florida has been a good partner for Disney.

02:02:09.780 Yep.

02:02:10.360 But now, Disney is changing the rules.

02:02:14.580 They think that they're big enough and important enough, and they are bone-crushing.

02:02:23.420 Bone-crushing.

02:02:24.400 If Disney doesn't want something to happen, look at their response to this.

02:02:29.160 50% of their programming, think of that.

02:02:33.000 Think of the ripple effect of 50% of their programming being changed to LGBTQI.
