00:04:17.180 had a good weekend oh cool well so what's the news is out of control today and we've got to dive into
00:04:26.760 this i can't believe this this country is falling apart with really urgent things to talk about
00:04:32.380 today and we got to make sure we we don't i wish we had you know a minute to screw around today but
00:04:37.960 really it's it's there's too much that is too much you don't want to hear about this weekend
00:04:41.420 i mean i i maybe when we're off the air we're broadcasting out of millions of people i think
00:04:47.460 we should probably get to make sure i'm clear on that because it was a good good weekend and you
00:04:51.580 said it wouldn't be anyway uh i don't know if you've noticed this but um the military now has
00:04:57.980 been deployed to enforce the lockdown in australia it's a prison country again i can't imagine the
00:05:08.600 military being dispatched on our shores to make sure that you remain inside i well i was gonna say
00:05:16.900 i don't think americans would put up with it but yeah yeah yeah yeah we would yeah we would
00:05:20.660 put up with it i mean why not why not what what else what else what else could they do to us you
00:05:27.440 know here's the thing we have taught the united states government and those weasels in washington
00:05:32.840 an awful lot we have taught them that you can spy on us you can uh collude with big tech
00:05:41.820 you can you can uh break all of the warrant laws you can lock us up in our homes you can destroy our
00:05:53.080 businesses you can tell us exactly what to do and what not to do where to eat where not to eat
00:06:00.000 when to eat when we can open up what we have to wear what we have to put into our bodies
00:06:07.360 they can tell us anything and we'll take it we'll take it we'll just keep taking it
00:06:12.400 i think they have learned a lot they have learned a lot this period they have learned a lot and uh
00:06:19.260 hopefully they're going to be a few states that will stand up now and say yeah that was a mistake
00:06:24.160 to teach you that that was a big mistake to teach you that definitely does seem like that's true
00:06:28.740 australia is doing such a strange thing too look if you're a continent that is an island right right you
00:06:35.940 can theoretically lock down and really limit the virus spread i guess you know i was just there
00:06:42.420 the sydney the biggest sydney the biggest uh city in australia is about the size of pittsburgh
00:06:50.560 and then yeah it's it's a different world hours away of nothing to the next city yeah it's a different
00:06:59.260 world right and totally different and like look everybody in this audience thinks the lockdowns
00:07:04.100 were a bad idea almost everybody so i don't you know need to sell you on that idea but
00:07:08.780 if you're looking at it in the most the most generous way possible lockdowns should be viewed
00:07:15.800 as basically a panic room right like if someone breaks into your home you go into the panic room
00:07:20.040 it's not a it's not a long-term choice it's not designed to be a long-term choice you know in the
00:07:25.780 first few weeks when we don't have any tests we don't have any treatments we don't know what the
00:07:30.580 heck this virus is correct you could at least make the argument okay maybe there's some reason for
00:07:34.820 some of that stuff but like it's not supposed to be a long-term strategy what australia has done is
00:07:40.460 basically made it into a long-term strategy but at the same time not gone after vaccinations
00:07:46.040 so like 12 vaccinated and so at some point they're gonna have the same sort of rise in cases and that
00:07:58.220 everyone else has faced they've just delayed it and destroyed their economy at the same time well
00:08:02.880 the good thing is uh china will be there to help bail them out oh sure sure i'm sure they will be there
00:08:07.980 by the way new york is of course collapsing and uh cuomo knows it we have a little cuomo music please
00:08:13.640 hey and let me tell you something here we gotta get people back you know we gotta get people back
00:08:21.760 in volume in the places like uh new york city you know oh so you know if you were to see a 15
00:08:30.360 decline and people coming back to new york city that'd be a devastating impact on the commercial market
00:08:37.160 we need them coming back so uh say to your workforce by labor day everybody's back in the office
00:08:46.200 now here's the problem he's saying hey everybody come back it's so great here is uh bill de blasio
00:08:54.160 this weekend talking about oh how dangerous things are because people are going outside without masks and
00:09:02.780 without being vaccinated do you have the power to mandate vaccination in all restaurants like a like
00:09:09.440 a liquor license like a restaurant can't sell liquor if they don't have a liquor license could you do that
00:09:13.340 or the city council the health department which in especially an emergency situation like this has
00:09:19.780 very real powers uh can put out a variety of rules just as you said earlier there was issues with
00:09:26.800 smoking in the past any kind of public health issue can be addressed and we're looking at all those
00:09:31.560 options but listen it comes down to something very human we want people to understand this is this is
00:09:36.620 what saves their lives this is what saves the lives of their loved ones but we've tried incentives for
00:09:41.800 months and months we tried being you know communicative and open and compassionate and all that was good
00:09:47.000 but we need something also tough at this point incentives yes a hundred dollars per person great deal
00:09:52.740 but we need mandates so bill de blasio you'd come to me today the day of my daughter's wedding
00:10:00.400 in labor day and you say you want me to do your favor he'll do it he'll do it he'll absolutely do it
00:10:09.660 and they have no idea why people are moving out of i mean did you see goldman sachs is please don't do
00:10:17.800 this goldman we don't want you here goldman sachs is now moving their um headquarters or splitting
00:10:24.260 their headquarters and moving to dallas goldman sachs wow okay you lose goldman sachs and all of these
00:10:33.980 places the brokers are like you know why don't we go down to florida you know uh okay the the the the
00:10:43.700 amount of people that have are leaving these states like california like new york is incredible i mean it
00:10:49.640 is incredible i can't i mean you can't function in these states you try to do business up there
00:10:56.060 it was already a bad place to do business it was already a bad place to do business in california
00:11:02.800 but when you lock down all of the employees and make their lives miserable every single day and
00:11:08.920 continually threaten those businesses from even existing i mean people just run they're literally
00:11:13.980 fleeing wouldn't you i would yeah but business small business the uh the most small business
00:11:22.560 closures in the country is in new york city 31 went out of business and now that is the backbone
00:11:30.980 of uh of an economy when you lose your small businesses you lose everything and i know everybody's
00:11:38.640 like we got big man let's go let's uh help out to ge you don't need to help out ge just let the small
00:11:47.180 businesses come back to work but now we of course have to wear masks and you know they say that it's it's
00:11:57.520 not confusing at all uh you know the mask thing i mean they've they've been very very very clear about
00:12:04.120 it could we please please play cut nine people should not be walking around with masks let me
00:12:10.740 just state for the record that masks are not theater wearing a mask might make people feel
00:12:16.440 a little bit better and masks are protective and we but it's not providing the perfect protection that
00:12:22.080 people think that it is there has not been any indication that putting a mask on and wearing a mask
00:12:28.060 for a considerable period of time has any deleterious effects there are unintended consequences people
00:12:34.440 keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face and can you get some schmutz sort of
00:12:39.340 staying inside there of course you do not need to wear a mask indoors if in fact you've been vaccinated
00:12:45.720 good that you're vaccinated but in a situation where you have people indoors particularly crowded you
00:12:51.180 should wear a mask so even if you are vaccinated you should wear a mask if in fact you are vaccinated
00:12:57.060 fully vaccinated you are protected and you do not need to wear a mask outdoors or indoors when the
00:13:02.840 children go out into the community you want them to continue to wear masks you know if you look at
00:13:07.980 children outside particularly when they're with the family uh walking down the street playing a game or
00:13:13.680 what have you don't have to wear a mask the the the pediatric the academy of pediatric actually makes
00:13:20.320 that recommendation that children should be wearing masks uh from two years old onward and you're asking
00:13:26.080 now if your child is a member of your household can you walk outdoors with your child without a mask
00:13:32.140 according to that chart the answer is yes but the child can't not to beat it beat it to death
00:13:37.720 yes yes because now the cdc says i mean i think i've got this right one mask is better than zero masks
00:13:44.500 two masks is better than one mask but you don't have to have double masks is that right i mean you know
00:13:50.780 it became clear that cloth coverings that you didn't have to buy in a store that you could make
00:13:55.800 yourself were adequate and then you want it to fit better so one of the ways you could do it if you
00:14:01.520 would like to is put a cloth mask over which actually here and here and here where you could
00:14:08.620 get leakage in is much better contained are you a double masker dr fauci look like you are
00:14:14.500 okay so i think that's all very very clear on exactly what we need to do and the science
00:14:21.120 of masks all the science yeah exactly right uh eddie lives in seattle wow eddie
00:14:29.320 can we raise money for you serious eddie lives in seattle he writes in about his experience with
00:14:37.340 relief factories is about a year ago i was bent over like an old man i could barely stand up straight
00:14:42.740 i had heavy heavy back pain i dreaded even going to the mailbox well this went on for months and
00:14:48.600 months and then i started taking relief factor within a week my back pain was completely gone
00:14:55.020 no more pain relief factor worked for me thank you so much for telling me about it i have to tell
00:15:01.980 you eddie that is that's miraculous i'm glad it has worked for you it doesn't work for everybody
00:15:07.580 uh and it doesn't always work like that uh but eddie you're welcome you're welcome the same results
00:15:15.200 uh you might be able to find 70 of the people who take relief factor go on to order more and they say
00:15:25.260 and i'm telling you now if you don't find relief in the first 30 days stop taking it you won't that's
00:15:32.060 why they give you a three week trial period at the end of three weeks you'll know 70 of the people
00:15:40.280 who order it go on past the three weeks they order more month after month relief factor it's not a drug
00:15:47.740 but developed by doctors if you want your life back please just give it a try relieffactor.com
00:15:53.800 relieffactor.com or call 800-583-84 it's relief factor 800-583-84 10 seconds station id
00:16:04.460 things are getting so bad in australia but it is good that we have people here in the united states that
00:16:23.340 understand freedom of speech and understand how important it is to have diverse voice voices
00:16:30.200 unfortunately uh no one at youtube or google seems to be a part of that group youtube said yesterday
00:16:38.140 it was barring sky news australia that's like that's like banning fox news here they are no longer
00:16:47.900 letting sky news post anything because of covid 19 misinformation it comes after a view of posts
00:16:55.960 uploaded by the rupert murdoch don't tv channel um says we have clear uh and established covid 19
00:17:04.600 medical misinformation policies to prevent the spread of covid 19 misinformation that could cause
00:17:10.840 real world harm that's according to youtube with 1.86 million youtube subscribers the channel which is
00:17:17.840 owned by news corp has a conservative following well beyond australia its posts including some
00:17:24.980 questioning whether there is a camp pandemic and the efficacy of the vaccines are widely shared on social
00:17:32.720 media forums around the world that spread the virus and vaccine misinformation so now they have been
00:17:40.180 uh they have been banned because they uploaded three days ago a host claiming that lockdowns have failed
00:17:49.060 and are criticizing state authorities for extending their current stay-at-home orders they banned them and google
00:17:56.440 allowed it to happen are you seeing what's happening in cuba
00:18:02.820 when when when the tech giants pick a side and they pick the side of the government you will be able to oppress
00:18:17.180 and silence those who disagree this is outrageous that this is happening with google that's their policy
00:18:26.480 that's fine but google is editing and silencing dissenting voices when i'm sorry the science isn't clear
00:18:37.620 we didn't know anything a year and a half ago and so it was important to hear disparate voices but with this
00:18:46.440 variant we also don't know and they're silencing they're silencing voices on this stew have you heard the
00:18:54.840 argument um about that the variant is possibly enhanced by the uh vaccines yeah yes i've heard that
00:19:07.200 argument and you don't buy it uh no i don't think it's uh i don't think that has anything to do with
00:19:12.180 it let me let me just if you haven't heard this this cut 15 dr robert malone listen to what he said
00:19:18.740 what nbc news dropped yesterday was the statement uh sourced from an unnamed government official
00:19:26.720 that the titers in the vaccinated are actually higher than in the unvaccinated what does this
00:19:33.560 mean and why why do you suddenly see this kind of frantic scramble this is precisely what one would see
00:19:41.920 if antibody dependent enhancement were was happening what is antibody dependent enhancement briefly
00:19:48.180 it's that the vaccine causes uh the virus to become more infectious than would happen in the absence
00:19:57.840 of vaccination would cause the virus to replicate at higher levels than in the absence of infection
00:20:04.500 this is this is the vaccinologist works nightmare okay stop uh it has so why don't you buy that what
00:20:11.040 what do you what have yours what is your research said about that uh i mean i just don't think it's
00:20:16.360 like you know dr malone has been on the program we were we like him he's a nice guy um i you know
00:20:21.320 but i haven't seen this as we just saw this outbreak in in the uk for example where you know it doesn't
00:20:28.360 seem to have happened uh it doesn't seem to be happening here i mean people are having far less
00:20:33.940 uh he's talking about the people who would get the virus or having having more virus to potentially
00:20:41.400 spread to others however they're getting it at one-tenth the rate so i mean even if you do get
00:20:48.080 and again this is just based on one study uh the if you look at i think you know the entire
00:20:53.960 experience of the uk going through the battle with the delta variant just weeks ago where we saw a
00:20:59.640 massive drop off in the rate of death about 93 percent uh i you know i i you know it's not to say that
00:21:07.740 what he's saying has no i mean i'm not a virologist by any means i mean and i know that dr malone as as
00:21:14.140 he would say is not agreeing with the you know lots of other uh virologists on this right uh he you know
00:21:22.160 as he he's kind of taken that uh position of saying hey like this is this is what i believe and i think
00:21:28.360 it's different than what everyone else believes is why he's you know been an interesting figure through
00:21:32.300 this right um but uh you know i i don't think i look we'll see i i you get to this point at some
00:21:39.520 point with some of the stuff is let's just watch it happen like people are just going to do what
00:21:44.320 they're going to do and it's going to spread how it's going to spread and at the end of this we can
00:21:47.780 all come by at the end we can all kind of find our own little answer as to why it ended
00:21:51.640 and that's kind of where this is going to go so of the delta variant in massachusetts in a study
00:21:57.080 of massachusetts the people who got sick 74 percent of the people infected with uh covid
00:22:03.300 were fully vaccinated with the variant overwhelming amount of people are in the vaccinated group they're
00:22:10.640 not equal groups so if you have 100 people let's put it this way if you have 100 people all of them
00:22:15.880 are fully vaccinated what percentage of people are going to be in the hospital that are vaccinated
00:22:19.960 100 they're all going to be vaccinated because all the people are vaccinated so the group of
00:22:25.640 vaccinated people is much much much much much larger than that in the group of unvaccinated
00:22:30.920 people so that's going to be the rate however the rate your chance of going to the hospital isn't
00:22:36.620 much much higher if you are unvaccinated yeah it's lower if you are vaccinated if you are vaccinated
00:22:42.920 correct yeah much lower all right back in just a second

00:25:21.960 important than your little art show from the weekend glenn i'm sorry you know our country right now
00:25:28.820 is on on the edge yeah and you want to talk about your paintings right well yeah i don't know i mean
00:25:35.780 is it a big deal to talk about it for just real quick he's wasting much more time
00:25:39.900 inflation uh terrorism uh pandemic let's let's let's spend some time on you drawing okay
00:25:48.120 so your heightened level i don't know the fine coloring book yeah all of all you know all of my
00:25:54.900 proceeds uh going to uh mercury one wait for what i don't why for what like what are they what is
00:26:01.340 there any is there any important issue that maybe we should talk about like i don't know the
00:26:05.780 global sex slavery uh maybe the murdering of uh christians around the globe but maybe we could
00:26:12.140 spend some time on that instead of your stupid paintings anyway anyway i don't have the final
00:26:17.020 number but it's about 200 250 000 raised this weekend really just just saturday uh for that yeah it was
00:26:24.760 it was a wild success i think we have a generous audience to to right just to put that sort of
00:26:31.480 money into this cause at the expense of also taking home your painting i mean what an incredible
00:26:37.800 honor it was very it was and it was wonderful it was it was packed all day saturday uh yes saturday
00:26:45.840 and was taking you know people about 30 to 50 at a time through the the gallery uh and uh you know
00:26:53.720 talking telling the stories behind each of the paintings and it was just great so many people came
00:26:57.640 from drove a long way you know didn't and didn't even buy anything which i was totally fine with
00:27:02.120 um and it was it was great and we should i've had a lot of questions from the people who have
00:27:08.000 purchased your paintings and and the answer is yes you just have to put it up when glenn comes over
00:27:12.400 you don't have to have it up all the time right just put it up if glenn's coming over your house put
00:27:18.100 up the painting be kind all right so pat did you uh uh did you watch the olympics at all i have
00:27:25.680 watched about two minutes of coverage really maybe yeah yeah i haven't watched a darn second
00:27:31.540 of it i do know that the women's soccer team lost oh no to canada gosh gosh this guy was torn apart
00:27:39.240 by that torn apart they seem like such a lovely group don't they don't they though they do so
00:27:44.640 patriotic and and wonderful and loving and uh dedicated wonderful sport they do wonderful i hope
00:27:51.300 they got equal pay for that loss i actually i i would have liked them to have won i would not
00:27:56.220 have they're from the u.s i there are i really i'm past that are you really yeah i'm past that
00:28:00.840 i've always been passing with soccer because soccer i want them to lose because the more u.s
00:28:06.700 soccer teams win the more i have to watch highlights on espn or wherever i'm watching sports they treat
00:28:13.220 it like it's a real sport well then you should be against ted lasso ted lasso's doing that isn't
00:28:19.220 yeah yeah yeah he's normalizing normalizing soccer yeah he's normalizing you're right i need to have
00:28:24.260 a yeah i need a new stance in my life anti ted lasso seems like the right yeah it does don't
00:28:29.820 normalize soccer don't don't do it um did you see the uh what was her name that uh uh oh you mean
00:28:37.180 the beautiful trans uh woman the victoria's secret woman yeah she's so beautiful she's what
00:28:41.940 she's lovely she's a victoria wait a minute hold it yeah are we talking about the same woman
00:28:48.120 well if she's not the shot putter the shot putter oh the shot putter yeah that's not the trans person
00:28:52.760 oh okay the weightlifter is the trans person okay what is she winning no she crashed out oh darn it
00:28:59.760 study development though that uh trans weightlifter would excel uh yeah to get to the olympics it seems
00:29:05.660 like such a what it's all the sports it seems like it was expected to medal uh and so so happy who
00:29:11.560 would go figure that so happy person who used to be a man might have a leg up in that competition
00:29:17.380 and again no reason to change my stance of i'm glad to see the u.s lose um because when they win
00:29:25.940 that's when you see uh people like raven saunders she was sporting a neon green and purple buzz cut
00:29:35.220 and she made an x sign with her wrists uh with her wrists up at the podium she just crossed her
00:29:42.180 arms and made her and she said uh later because everybody said what the hell does that even mean
00:29:47.640 and she said i'm glad you asked it's the intersection of where all people who are oppressed meet
00:29:54.180 that is right at her wrists right right they stand on her wrist that seems like too many people for one
00:30:01.280 set of wrists and then and then after she decided to twerk uh and it was sexy i can imagine i wanted
00:30:13.700 to meet on her wrists after that again i was like i think i was oppressed by that uh i don't know how
00:30:19.760 to go on um she said um i just wanted to be me not to apologize to show younger people that no matter
00:30:27.480 how many boxes they try to fit you in you can be all you can and you can accept it people tried to
00:30:34.100 tell me not to do tattoos and piercings and all that but look at me now look at her now i'm looking
00:30:39.380 i'm popping uh she said she you know she's been she's had a lot of things weighing on her for 22 years
00:30:47.500 and she was finally able to process it and uh she was finally able to separate raven
00:30:53.620 from the hulk which was really um okay wow good that's so very good that is so raven yeah exactly
00:31:02.240 the type of behavior you'd expect right yeah she's a delight she's a delight you know i have to tell
00:31:07.580 you simone biles and you know i'm not going to tear her apart because she's gone through a lot etc etc
00:31:12.820 but you know as i was i was doing these uh these tours about the painting one of the paintings that i did
00:31:18.680 was uh jesse owens and i painted him so your his eyes would follow you in the room and i have him at
00:31:27.080 the the uh starting line at the 1936 berlin olympics and don't talk to me about you know oh i've got so
00:31:36.840 many things i'm oppressed he was oppressed he was oppressed he was living in america at a time where
00:31:46.280 he had to use a separate water fountain if he wanted to drink so half of the population in the
00:31:53.920 united states loved him the other half didn't love him when when hitler uh invited him uh and the u.s to
00:32:03.040 come over for the berlin olympics half of the black community said you can't do it you can't you can't go
00:32:10.780 because you can't support the hitler government and you can't support the united states government
00:32:15.140 the other half said you have to go you have to go because you have to show that a black man
00:32:22.760 is humid or human over in germany because he says you're subhuman so you have to go fdr didn't want
00:32:31.280 to meet with jesse owens didn't want to support jesse owens hitler he's in the stadium with hitler
00:32:38.480 staring at him you want to talk about pressure shut up talk to jesse owens and what did he do he won
00:32:47.240 the gold and then he stood there proudly as the national anthem played and he came back that's why
00:32:54.720 he's a hero he twerked afterward though he did of course there was twerking wouldn't have been any
00:33:01.260 good if yeah yeah of course there was ceremony let me tell you let me tell you the same the same
00:33:06.420 story with jesse owens do you know why he won the gold because he was faster past his time yeah
00:33:12.720 across the finish line before before the others yeah yeah so that's what happens when you turn
00:33:19.140 your mics off and turn your headphones on you're not allowed to listen anymore let me just share this
00:33:22.720 with you okay um here's the reason why i won in the long jump uh is because the guy who he was
00:33:28.900 competing against will notice that jesse owens was jumping too soon and he kind of sneaks over to
00:33:39.080 jesse's side and he's standing there and he says uh hey uh listen um you're jumping too soon and jesse
00:33:47.000 said what do you want to talk what are you talking about he's like don't look at me hitler's looking
00:33:50.980 at me don't look at me uh you're jumping too soon so i'm gonna i'm gonna saunter over to the to the pit
00:33:58.160 and i'm just gonna i'm just gonna drop my towel where you should jump and so he does and this is
00:34:05.760 a german competitor i believe for the wasn't it oh yeah yeah oh yeah yeah and he puts his towel down
00:34:11.300 right where jesse owens should jump jesse owens jumps and wins the gold it didn't take long for
00:34:19.420 that guy to be sent to the russian front that guy was sent to the russian front because he lost to
00:34:27.100 jesse owens and he helped jesse owens jesse owens and he became friends he was sent to the russian
00:34:33.280 front and the last thing he said to jesse owens was please one thing i ask please tell my children
00:34:40.120 when this madness is all over i was not one of them so don't tell me about your oppression uh hulk
00:34:52.120 raven don't tell me about your oppression well there was that 10-2 thing they had to deal with
00:34:57.680 well yeah and she was told not to not to pierce you know and i'm sure that there's a lot of people
00:35:02.700 who are oppressed that were really sad to hear that that kind of oppression was going on on her
00:35:08.100 people don't look at this anymore but the nazis were very anti-piercing very that was one of the
00:35:12.740 things people don't really discuss they don't even discuss what is that horrid he was that horrid
00:35:17.000 yeah he goes to power based on the non-piercing theory gosh oh we're such crybabies thank you pat

00:36:57.140 him a note that said sir there's something on your chin could we could we play this uh video
00:37:02.040 i'm gonna make a brief statement here and then we'll get to ask the vice president to say a few
00:37:06.160 words get some questions and we'll get down to business if that's okay okay now he's about to be
00:37:10.740 handed uh you know uh one month ago we convened uh the first what will be a regular presidential
00:37:16.620 briefing on wildfire preparedness and expand your capacity is through the partnership that we have
00:37:22.040 handed a note state government says on it sir there's something on your chin uh this this issue
00:37:27.380 is up looks at it each year as we have discussed and then eats it worse no that's real people
00:37:32.220 the normal we've had two and a half times more acreage burned in the last decade than the previous
00:37:40.000 so those are the obvious concerns and everything you need to fight a fire we we could use your help
00:37:47.300 on and i think you've been totally on top of this so yeah because i was going to ask how did you know
00:37:51.800 it was on the note but he of course holds it up backward to the camera so you can read it yeah
00:37:56.420 because sir there's something on your chin and then he eats it he doesn't just take it off then he looks
00:38:02.760 at it and he's like oh yummy and eats it that was really a repulsive moment i mean i gotta say that
00:38:10.220 was legit that is really just gross do you remember in fahrenheit 9 11 i guess the michael moore
00:38:16.520 i didn't see it thank goodness really i thought we talked about it at the time i thought we did i
00:38:20.460 maybe have blocked it i think you may have blocked it because we did i think go to see it so we could
00:38:23.880 talk about it on the air but there's one moment where i think it's paul wolfowitz and they're you
00:38:30.220 know of course trying to make all the bush people to be this these terrible people and i if i remember
00:38:34.960 right he did something like he combed his hair and then like i think he licked he licked his hand or
00:38:42.440 something and like put it through the his hair and then licked his hand again it was like in one of
00:38:46.340 these like set up before an interview and it was like a really kind of gross moment like he's trying
00:38:50.200 to make his hair look good and they they i think all of our mothers have done that though i mean look
00:38:55.740 it's people do gross things i mean look yeah but you don't take something off your face look at it
00:39:00.300 and then eat it i've no i don't i mean i've done a lot of gross things don't think i've ever done that
00:39:03.800 one no i don't think so i can't think i mean i have tried to you know i've dropped spaghetti on my
00:39:10.020 shirt and then tried to suck the sauce out of the of course everyone's done that it's not even in the
00:39:15.280 same category right but like if you had something on like the core something like the corner of your
00:39:21.220 mouth yeah right and you kind of you maybe feel it you could you could go a couple different
00:39:26.520 directions you could kind of brush it off or you could kind of brush it in brush it in i guess i
00:39:31.460 brush it off if it's an m&m crumb you just had ice cream m&m toppings little chunk of m&m corner of
00:39:37.020 your mouth i think the timeline is different too like if it's 40 minutes later you're brushing it off
00:39:42.280 if it's two minutes later you're just eating it yeah if you're still sitting there with the ice
00:39:47.160 cream and somebody's like glenn you got some ice cream yeah you're brushing it into your brushing
00:39:50.420 it into your mouth but now this guy's done an entire briefing on fires across the country and
00:39:54.780 he's walked to the i mean it doesn't he's not there quickly i don't think he's doing he's in the middle of
00:40:00.200 a conference and it and if you see the close-up of it it looks like either pudding or egg or
00:40:06.800 something oh no so ugly so that's another line solid versus liquid is a big line i think they're
00:40:14.520 like if you have a liquidy egg you you can't be putting that in your mouth now if it's a no if it's
00:40:19.880 a cracker crumb it's a it's better than an egg an egg yolk are you i just try to have a list of i do
00:40:28.840 have the acceptable things and when it's acceptable to put it in your mouth i've got 25 minutes on
00:40:33.420 studios and i want people to check it out it's sort of the continuum of risk when it comes to
00:40:40.740 what food is on your mouth you know what he is what comes in what goes i read i read the headline
00:40:45.120 of this and i was like whatever and then i later saw the video and i'm like oh man that is
00:40:51.900 it's one of these days where it's better to be listening to the radio i mean you don't have to see
00:40:57.460 it evoked after that please please as i said there's just too much important news stuff to talk about

00:46:12.460 audience they will want to know da news on da baby
00:46:18.780 i'm very concerned about what's going on with da baby right now now let's pretend you don't know

00:46:35.380 i know i don't know you know it yeah don't talk to me talk to the audience there are some if this is
00:46:41.620 going to be incredible to believe but there are some in the audience who might not even know who da
00:46:45.680 baby is huh and now for those who don't is da a first name baby a last name that's correct yes
00:46:52.060 okay so it's not like da baby erickson where they're leaving off his middle no first name was da
00:46:58.200 okay and then the second name is baby okay and it's interesting when you go through
00:47:03.420 his current situation people it's hard to talk about da baby right because of da baby being his name
00:47:12.600 it sounds like you're saying well let's call him mr baby mr baby or i call him da you know let's call
00:47:17.860 him da okay i think i feel most comfortable calling him da baby okay well because he just in a formal
00:47:24.300 sense i think it's the right thing to do and what is the uh i mean you are a journalist
00:47:28.520 i've done some hardcore research on this okay all right so give me the headline and uh that's coming
00:47:34.800 out now shockingly about da baby so da baby apparently is getting cancelled cancelled he is
00:47:42.040 a victim of cancelled culture so in other words no more he's his television or youtube show or
00:47:48.240 something is no longer which television or youtube show are we talking about i now da oh you mean
00:47:54.940 cancelled as in the cancelled culture yes yeah that happened and now some would say the cancelled
00:48:01.440 culture doesn't exist but da baby's a victim of it glenn oh my gosh da baby had some commentary
00:48:08.400 on some what some people called his comments homophobic oh boy okay he he didn't even say what
00:48:19.840 he said i think i could say it here we go this is a quote from da baby on stage he said quote if you
00:48:27.240 didn't show up today with hiv aids or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that will
00:48:34.520 make you die in two to three weeks then put your cell phone lighter up now the next part i can't say
00:48:42.300 exactly okay okay um but i in fact i don't i will say i don't even understand you don't even understand
00:48:49.320 you don't even who he's looking for in this next statement but you can't even say he's looking
00:48:54.600 for a particular kind of uh of lady uh with a particular doubt that it is a lady right well
00:49:03.480 a woman i don't know and that and again what do these terms even mean it all means how you identify
00:49:08.840 uh-huh then he says fella again he i can't say he's he's associating um uh same-sex relations
00:49:18.200 is what i tried it please don't try to interpret it interpret da baby let his words speak for himself
00:49:24.040 just don't say them just don't say that's a good point all right let's i'll do both of those things
00:49:29.160 i'll let it speak for himself without saying it but people interpreted this as homophobic uh which it
00:49:34.360 does it does seem to be okay so so da baby is now getting all of his he was going to be at lalapalooza
00:49:44.760 which apparently glenn still exists what year is this it's 2021 da baby at lalapalooza now lalapalooza
00:49:52.360 i feel like started when i was in like high school yeah i think it did but uh it's still going on apparently
00:49:57.160 and now they have da baby there okay now da baby i find this to be very interesting because mr baby
00:50:03.320 is getting canceled for these comments where he's been critical and uh flippant about the lgbtqqia2
00:50:12.920 plus community i don't do it and you don't do that that gets you canceled of course and i thought to
00:50:18.120 myself wait a minute i kind of remember da baby having previous issues that to me in my memory no not
00:50:25.880 da baby he's he's clean he's clean he's that's one of the things he's like an altar boy see i
00:50:33.000 thought maybe he had significant issues in his past that maybe would actually warrant cancellation
00:50:39.880 more than a bad sentence or two about the lgbtq what did you find on da baby in his past
00:50:47.480 look a couple things okay 2013 uh how old were you then i i well i was yeah i was a good eight years
00:50:55.480 younger than i am now and so was he uh but he was uh he was busted on pot and weapons okay what come
00:51:01.800 on that's nothing nothing it's nothing so he's got an illegal gun now he was government doesn't even
00:51:06.920 care about any of that stuff yeah and we should point out that from 2013 when that first charge
00:51:12.280 happened he was absolutely clean until later in 2013 when he was again arrested for pot okay then
00:51:21.000 again again he was arrested for felony pot possession no felony pot possession he had more
00:51:26.840 pot on him i guess more okay then i mean like from 2014 to 16 things went pretty well well not all
00:51:34.760 the way through 2016 because he was a he was busted on firearms charges but then in 2000 well he learned
00:51:39.560 his lesson right he learned his lesson he learned his lesson and then he forgot the lesson in 2017 because
00:51:44.680 that in 2018 he was uh he was charged with having a stolen firearm okay well he couldn't buy one you
00:51:53.000 know the system worked there right he couldn't he could felony he couldn't buy one he had to steal it
00:51:59.080 so he had to steal you bad you bad this system problem solver forced him to steal thank you yeah
00:52:05.080 thank you yeah now in 2018 he did kill someone inside of a walmart and some people would say hey
00:52:11.240 when you kill someone inside of walmart maybe that's a cancelable sort of offense but but i
00:52:16.760 wouldn't know but nobody saw it nobody was there it happened right like right when everyone was there
00:52:20.920 shopping he did yeah but it was in an aisle i'm sure where nobody was it was between some clothes racks
00:52:27.000 clothes racks so you don't know for sure that it was him and i will say this in his defense on this one
00:52:33.640 it does he was charged it with that it was he did have gun charges against him because he again
00:52:39.400 shouldn't have had the gun but but only the fourth time this is right and that's what's that the baby
00:52:44.680 is trying is trying very hard and it was a ruled self-defense it looked like he was someone else
00:52:49.960 was trying to kill him he killed them and that happens generally speaking in most walmart trips
00:52:55.000 people are you're gonna wind up killing someone occasionally in a walmart this happens to people
00:52:59.640 all the time happened to me three times last week alone you know what it is the baby is black uh
00:53:06.360 i yes yeah okay so baby is black and that's why this happened yes he was shopping at walmart wall
00:53:12.440 black and he was but the guy who who was trying to kill him was a white supremacist also happened to
00:53:17.800 be black but he was a white supremacist sure he knows that sure he was 2019 he had another pot uh
00:53:23.800 charge against him uh and resisting arrest it's only third that's only third time now this is where i
00:53:28.200 kind of joined the da baby story glenn because because i you know was this is going to surprise the
00:53:33.320 audience was not on da baby and his uh debate da baby musical train um early i was not an early
00:53:40.760 adopter you know all of his hits like or well here's the thing i do know one of his hits okay
00:53:49.080 and it was a a song that of course he did with ms lipa oh do a lipa do a do a do a first name do a
00:53:57.480 last name lipa love do a lipa uh called levitating which was a gigantic song last year i think last
00:54:03.640 year or earlier this year i don't know last year i don't know something can you play it can you play
00:54:07.400 just a little of it just play just a little baby i believe speaks right at the beginning yeah it would
00:54:11.480 be really really good and he's very very talented yeah uh would i recognize this song it was a huge
00:54:17.560 huge huge i will say that by da baby da baby uh okay what's in another all right let me know when you
00:54:23.640 have it sarah okay all right so then he had um and this is what i thought was interesting because i
00:54:28.120 remember when this song came out thinking to myself didn't he have like some major legal issues
00:54:33.240 recently like is he out there still making popular music after this occurred and because i remember he
00:54:40.760 was at the super bowl this is the post uh right before the pre-covid super bowl okay okay that's enough
00:54:48.360 yeah i remember that song thank you you got it from just that i just got it from that yeah i love that
00:54:53.320 song you are a huge fan yeah thank you for just a play it again just a little bit of it
00:54:59.400 he's right at the beginning go ahead yep that's it i remember it it was so good it was so good what
00:55:05.960 super super classic he i remember him my memory was didn't he hit a lady from on stage during a concert
00:55:15.640 and da baby did in fact slap one of his fans a female fan in the crowd during a concert on camera
00:55:27.480 and i thought well that was performance prevent you wouldn't that be the cancelable thing
00:55:33.560 apparently no fans and slapping a woman and to be fair yeah he was responding because someone took a
00:55:40.120 picture with the camera flash too close to his face oh my gosh and like if you're not gonna belt
00:55:44.760 a lady for that i don't know what you do what's the she's lucky to be alive she would have done that
00:55:49.960 to me holy cow and by the way he had a legitimate defense which was he was actually aiming for a
00:55:56.520 different woman which i thought was a good oh my gosh it wasn't his fault he hit that woman he was
00:56:02.920 trying to hit another woman please let him go right away right yeah i don't think he even got charged for
00:56:08.040 that he just did it on camera wow now i believe he was being sued for that um and of course he also
00:56:13.640 by the way was charged in 2020 with robbery um and punched a promoter so he made it through all of
00:56:20.440 that let's not skip by that real quick i heard i heard what he punched one of his promoters and was
00:56:26.120 charged with robbery but he wasn't but this is way back in 2020 i should point this out do you remember
00:56:31.880 how old were you in 20 i don't even remember 20 i don't even remember baby was that was we were all
00:56:36.680 distracted with this fake election thing you know what i mean but there was really even an
00:56:41.800 election yeah we were we were so distracted by that you always have to watch the other hand what
00:56:46.120 is the baby doing the baby always knows what's going on so da baby now after all of those things
00:56:53.000 was able to create do we have that song this this was huge hit song that that's good that's enough
00:56:57.800 thank you that one yeah and then he made it through all of that and everyone embraced him and they gave
00:57:03.080 him this gigantic song he's a big role on one of the biggest songs of the year and then he went on
00:57:09.160 and he said two sentences about the lgbtqqia2 plus community and now he's canceled thank god so he
00:57:16.040 literally slapped a woman on camera and killed someone in walmart and was like ah put him on the
00:57:21.320 next record but you know here that the the thing from the stage where he alluded to people with diseases
00:57:30.520 well as we talked about as we talked about uh you know the green-haired u.s shot putter uh that uh
00:57:38.200 won the silver um you know she she wanted to let everybody know how oppressed she was uh so she got
00:57:47.240 up after winning the silver uh she twerked of course yeah you're gonna twerk after a silver yeah and then
00:57:54.120 she stood up on the uh the stand uh as they were giving her the medal and the national anthem was
00:57:59.320 praying and playing and she uh crossed her arms in to show intersectionality uh and her her support
00:58:06.360 there because uh she was oppressed uh and i i just want to quote her because i i don't want to make
00:58:12.200 these things up because i don't i don't even i hope this isn't true but she said to me not to apologize
00:58:21.720 to show younger people that no matter how many boxes they try to fit you in that you can be you and you
00:58:27.720 could accept it i mean people tried me tried to tell me not to do tattoos and piercings but look
00:58:34.840 at me now they try to say the same thing to baby and i'm a poppin and she is a poppin she is a poppin
00:58:42.520 and that's the thing about the olympics it's always been this way it's about you as an individual
00:58:46.120 definitely not even though i mean you know we used to see people you know from from kenya or the uh
00:58:52.760 the bobsledding team jamaica yeah you know that were didn't even have snow she had people say
00:58:59.720 don't get your ears pierced and how she can continue to go on and i will say it's remarkable
00:59:06.360 so many people tell women not to pierce their ears in this country it's so common i'm sure it occurred i
00:59:13.240 i'm not i want to make sure i'm not questioning that story at all that definitely occurred i want to
00:59:18.680 i want to be now she also had mental illness she did yeah she's completely clean of it now
00:59:24.920 oh that's good but uh here she had some mental illness that you got past that yeah she's she's
00:59:29.720 passed is that so raven is that who that is that is so raven so very so very very so very consistent
00:59:36.200 with the behavior she said that she now has uh contained the hulk that's why her hair was only
00:59:43.080 uh half green green on one half of her shaved head and red on the other um how does one have
00:59:51.320 colored hair on a shaved head uh you'll have to see it for yourself it's beautiful it is a beautiful
00:59:58.040 and i will say she's also wearing those beautiful earrings that people tried to stop her brave so brave
01:00:04.840 by the way this is totally unrelated uh ratings for the olympics are way down shut up yeah no they've
01:00:10.760 probably haven't gotten all of them yet no they they everyone they have are down really yeah yeah
01:00:16.840 people not not that interested in the olympics this year it's really weird it's almost as if it's yet
01:00:22.520 another institution that has just so defiled itself uh that we all look at it like they're just a bunch
01:00:31.000 of whores and we don't need to see that you feel that way you know like the the nfl they've just
01:00:37.640 whored themselves out you know to make money in china or whatever it is uh and so they just
01:00:44.040 they just tell us things that you know most of the people in the office just don't believe
01:00:49.400 it's it's basically impossible to watch the national basketball association at this point
01:00:54.280 it's it is it is a if you want to watch the dnc with occasional dribbling then you watch the nba
01:01:01.640 because it's basically just an arm of the democratic party operating as a sports selection
01:01:08.280 of sports franchises well i will tell you this i've and i've taken a hard stand on this i will
01:01:15.560 i will not rest until the baby can play in the nba with pierced ears and i mean it i will not rest
01:01:24.280 until that's happening that uh does need to happen rough greens rochelle lives in indiana she writes
01:01:30.040 in about her dog's experience with rough green she says i'm shocked our 11 year old is really picky
01:01:36.280 he's always had to have uh she's always had to have her food topped with leftovers then she would
01:01:42.600 usually leave a handful of kibble on the bowl but when i sprinkle a spoonful of rough green straight
01:01:47.640 into her dry dog food she eats it up every last crumb when the first bag arrived i open it up and
01:01:53.480 thought no way she's going to eat this green powder stuff i'm happy to say i was totally wrong thank
01:01:58.840 you rough greens for making feeding time a much happier experience now that's great to hear rochelle
01:02:04.680 i know you say your 11 year old is picky um but you should feed it to your dog not to your 11 year old
01:02:11.320 um oh it's an 11 year old dog oh okay all right rochelle amazing difference isn't it my dog uno was
01:02:18.920 exactly the same it's not a dog food it's something you sprinkle on the dog food and
01:02:24.360 if you're a little like rochelle uh you'll look at and go i don't think my dog's gonna eat that
01:02:31.160 we want to make sure your dog eats that that's why you can right now get a free bag of rough greens

01:02:59.160 welcome to the glenn back program um i wanted to uh share again a story because people are asking
01:03:11.800 what can we do what can we do what can we do about all the things that are going on not about the baby
01:03:16.760 shockingly but uh about all the things that are going on uh first of all you have to encourage your
01:03:22.120 state and your your local legislatures uh and your local um mayor and city council to stay in touch with
01:03:32.680 the people and do what the people are saying da people da people da people um our our local communities
01:03:42.680 have been taken over uh and i talked about this in in agenda 21 and of course called a conspiracy theorist
01:03:50.760 for saying that the government wanted to take you know even more land than they already had uh of
01:03:56.360 course that was crazy even though that is what now the biden administration is doing and our our own
01:04:03.320 communities if you see anything about sustainable development on your community's website you see
01:04:11.720 the agenda 2030 plan they already are part of the problem and you need to be aware of that but there's
01:04:20.120 another thing that you can do and that is let your voice be heard um and let your voice be heard by
01:04:27.160 these uh you know by these companies that are selling out what happened in uh with ben and jerry's if it
01:04:34.040 spreads elsewhere uh it will be very very effective the franchisees now are saying we can't take your
01:04:43.400 your your anti-israel stance that's killing our business as a franchisee keep the pressure up
01:04:52.360 and gee aren't they independent bottlers of coca-cola as well yeah i think they are
01:04:59.960 this is the glenn back program maybe you should look for those guys uh in your local neighborhoods um
01:05:06.040 now nobody likes to show off so when i tell you about patriot mobile i'm not showing off they have
01:05:11.400 the broadest nationwide coverage it's just a fact they're on the same cell towers as all the other major
01:05:17.400 carriers and they have plans that fit any budget oh and their us-based customer service team has the
01:05:24.920 highest rating among wireless carriers oh yeah one more thing they share your values by supporting
01:05:30.760 organization fighting for religious freedom the constitution the stankity sanctity of life and
01:05:36.920 veterans and first responders when i when i tell you all of that i mean it does sound like it's uh
01:05:43.560 you know a show off but it's a truth all of it is the truth now here's the other truth if you are
01:05:49.880 subscribing to anybody else for your cell service uh you are putting money right into the hands of the

01:06:21.560 this is the glenn beck program nicole solas is a stay-at-home mom in south kingstown rhode island
01:06:33.560 she enrolled her five-year-old daughter in kindergarten in the south kingstown school district
01:06:40.360 and then said you know i want some information because she had heard that the teachers were
01:06:45.560 starting to teach critical race theory and so she said uh i i need some i need some information
01:06:52.520 from the school now she is she it's perfectly legal for her to request in fact they have it on their
01:06:58.920 own website if you want information blah blah blah you do it well she requested the information
01:07:04.680 uh then she figured i should probably pull my daughter out of school after they uh they threatened
01:07:11.000 to sue her because of her public record request about critical race theory and gender theory
01:07:16.840 which the district told her to submit she's now being represented by the goldwater institute uh
01:07:24.120 and she is on the phone with us now hi nicole how are you hi glenn i'm good thanks so much for having
01:07:29.480 me so not only they threatened to sue you they told you you had to pay seventy four thousand dollars
01:07:34.840 to find out if the school district is is teaching crt right and this isn't the first time that they
01:07:43.160 have given me these very high estimates to get public information which frankly we already pay for
01:07:49.000 with our taxes first they had given me a nine thousand dollar fee to get information when i first started
01:07:54.600 submitting my public records request other information was two thousand three thousand dollars the
01:07:59.880 goldwater institute resubmitted a public records request on my behalf with much more specific
01:08:05.480 terms that were more likely to turn up information and that was now seventy four thousand dollars
01:08:10.840 which is insane because this is public information and it shouldn't be a government secret it's
01:08:17.400 information that really the the public has a right to access and a public records request is just the way
01:08:23.080 to get that information in my town 80 of the budget goes to the school and it costs 27 000
01:08:30.680 per student to educate wow and now i have to pay seventy four thousand dollars to know how they're being
01:08:36.680 educated it just seems like this is not the way it's supposed to work so you asked um for lesson plans
01:08:42.680 and course materials used or assigned at any school within south kingston school department in the 2021 school
01:08:49.000 year that include any of the following terms 1619 projects in education project or howard's in equitable math
01:08:57.400 gender theory white privilege or whiteness systematic racism crt or critical race theory
01:09:04.120 ibram kendy or kendy robin d'angelo or just d'angelo um they said that uh uh that uh they could do that but
01:09:14.680 it would take them eight hours to retrieve uh yeah i think it was a lot more hours i think it was um
01:09:21.880 like like 693 hours or something like that and that's uh you know they they have under the statute
01:09:28.680 they can charge 15 an hour to compile and and retrieve all this information but it still has to be a
01:09:34.760 reasonable fee and when you're asking for lesson materials and instructional materials that shouldn't
01:09:42.680 have to be requested under the apra to access the public records act these are not just public
01:09:47.960 documents these are lesson materials they at any point can just email this to me of their own
01:09:53.800 volition they can just respond to my questions that i asked in an email um without having to charge me
01:10:00.120 money because this is really just a conversation about what our kids are learning so they're the ones
01:10:05.320 that that constrain me to this public record request process and i believe they're doing that to
01:10:12.840 evade my questions and not answer them now what did you hear that the the teachers were incorporating
01:10:19.240 all this stuff in well the principal from the elementary school where my daughter would go i've
01:10:25.320 since pulled her out and placed her in private school said that they integrate values of gender identity
01:10:31.080 in every grade and she said that they have a certain line of thinking about history that they teach
01:10:36.600 children in every grade and she told me this after i said do you teach anything with anti-racism and as
01:10:41.960 we all know anti-racism really just means racism or critical race theory it's all the same thing
01:10:47.320 so the principal told me that they do in fact teach these values and when i asked well how exactly do
01:10:54.200 you do it in every grade they they said that they have these common practices that they use and when i
01:10:59.000 asked well you know when when did this common practice start it was all non-answers either i don't
01:11:04.680 know or let me get back to you and then finally it was submit a public records request so i know they're
01:11:09.720 absolutely doing it and i have tons of evidence that i've uncovered through these public records
01:11:13.640 requests and with my own research showing that the the school district believes that all white people
01:11:19.480 are racist i just found a document saying that and that part of their goal is to um have implicit bias
01:11:25.720 bias trainings with students and teachers and they're 100 committed to this but they're not telling me
01:11:33.000 exactly how and so i want them to be completely transparent so that people can decide if they want to
01:11:38.920 enroll their kids in this district or opt out of certain lesson plans and we can finally engage
01:11:44.440 in a robust public debate about the values of you know critical race theory or anti-racism or whatever
01:11:50.360 you want to call it i tell you you can file for a freedom of information act and you don't have to pay for
01:11:56.520 it i mean it's it's again on our time on our dime uh in u.s for all records of communications
01:12:05.400 including email communication to or from any south kingston school department official uh principal
01:12:10.920 teacher teaching assistant counselor any other person from january 1 2020 to the date of this request
01:12:16.360 which includes any of the following terms 1619 projects in education uh howard's in equitable math
01:12:22.280 gender theory blah blah blah all of these things that that is that is public record i know that um here in
01:12:29.400 texas when we finally did get the freedom of information act from a school district called south lake
01:12:35.960 it showed that they were uh mocking the parents and saying we're just going to do it anyway
01:12:41.560 and let's one of them said let's keep this information away from the parents uh and two of
01:12:48.680 the people went to jail over it and nobody had to pay for that information because it came from a government source
01:12:55.800 yeah so the freedom of information act is is different from the access to public records act
01:13:02.760 which is a rhode island statute and that rhode island statute carves out this 15 an hour
01:13:09.080 fee that a public entity can can charge you for they can also charge you 15 cents
01:13:13.800 for hard copy but um you're right that this information should not have to cost taxpayers money they're
01:13:20.600 already paying for the information just you know by having the public entity do their job
01:13:25.800 so um i think that that's going to be a point of contention that it's not reasonable to have
01:13:32.280 the 74 000 fee and um it's certainly not equitable for all of this talk that schools have about equity
01:13:39.080 and everyone having equal access i don't know how you you justify that kind of fee just to know what
01:13:43.640 your kid is learning because it sounds like they're saying that only the extremely wealthy
01:13:47.560 are privy to information about what their kids are learning so what did the goldwater uh people say and
01:13:53.160 what what are you doing about this now um right now we're determining what our next step is um we're
01:14:00.920 still talking about that and uh i'm sure we'll make a decision soon on whether we want to go to court or
01:14:08.040 if we want to take some other legal action um how is the community responding to you and the the people
01:14:15.240 in the school are they with you or against you or is it split um i only have overwhelming support i have
01:14:23.880 parents and even teachers emailing me and thanking me for putting myself out there um i also get lots of
01:14:31.720 tips from parents about what is being taught in in school here and it's sometimes hard to get
01:14:39.080 verification so if they say oh my my kid had to do something with black lives matter in class and
01:14:44.440 i'm telling you i'm hoping you can do something with it but they're scared to actually tell me the
01:14:49.240 name of the class the name of the teacher the actual assignment because they don't want to be
01:14:53.000 retaliated against the way that i was retaliated against but you know you can't just go out there and
01:14:57.240 say something's happening and have you know no proof so um people are still scared but they are
01:15:04.280 extremely supportive well stay stay brave um this will only get harder if people like you don't stand
01:15:12.600 up now it's only going to get harder and you most likely won't win in the future if we don't stand up
01:15:18.760 now i wish you all the best of luck is there anything that uh our audience can do to help you
01:15:23.560 um i just want to reiterate what you said that more parents need to start standing up there to
01:15:29.880 their school boards and just to remember that school boards are made up of ordinary people they
01:15:35.000 live next door to us they're our family members and our friends they these people are not working
01:15:39.560 behind the iron curtain of the kremlin yet so we need to stand up to them now and let them know that
01:15:45.640 we're not going to tolerate this indoctrination of kids in our school were you ever i mean are you an
01:15:50.760 activist would you ever see yourself doing something like this no i i've never been politically
01:15:57.320 involved this only happened because i enrolled my daughter in school and then they publicly
01:16:00.920 threatened to sue me so i i had to respond publicly because they were trying to destroy my reputation
01:16:06.360 publicly they are getting so bold so bold yeah thank you so much i appreciate it god bless thank you so
01:16:13.720 much you bet thank you uh i have to tell you you know i said that they would take their masks off
01:16:19.000 which is strange because they're being told to put their masks back on um but uh i told you a time
01:16:26.280 that the the marxists would find it because they were dying to tell you who they really were
01:16:30.520 they were dying to tell you how wrong you were how evil you were and that has turned out they all have
01:16:37.640 their masks off now uh and yet it seems as though most of america doesn't really care i mean did you see
01:16:48.920 that uh the the uh spending package passed the senate the same yeah i we went over it on friday the whole
01:16:59.240 the whole bill and all the crap that's in it you know all sorts of just wasteful nonsense and remember
01:17:05.240 it's not like we have the money to have a bill like this oh i know this is just all made up fake
01:17:10.520 money that we're printing essentially to do this with the promise that if we leave something out of
01:17:16.280 the bill they're going to throw it in the next one that they're going to pass without republican
01:17:19.960 support why republicans are involved in this i don't think i'll ever understand in the senate only one
01:17:25.960 stood against it and it was mike lee well he's not the only no vote uh on the there's a bipartisan
01:17:34.680 infrastructure bill yeah yeah i mean rand paul didn't vote for that i don't know what maybe he
01:17:39.880 was on in committee that was the uh possibly that might have been what you're talking about because
01:17:43.720 it uh it will ask mike mike is coming up in just a few minutes and i know that he was he was standing
01:17:50.760 there talking to an empty senate nobody sat around and listened to him but you should hear him uh
01:17:57.240 because he makes really good points we're having the highest surge in in uh inflation
01:18:06.040 in a very long time very very long time and this is only going to make this worse
01:18:13.160 as the government is buying up all kinds of stuff to improve infrastructure the prices to you are going
01:18:19.160 to go up uh what does that mean why are we doing that at this moment seems like a bad time to
01:18:26.840 spend another five trillion dollars is that what you're saying it does well it always is really
01:18:31.000 bad to spend another five trillion dollars but maybe it's just me we'll find out what's in the
01:18:35.400 bill and talk to mike lee coming up in just a minute first let me tell you about relief factor
01:18:41.000 when was it you discovered that you couldn't do that thing that you loved anymore what was it
01:18:44.840 so many people have just that one thing or a series of them that we love to do and one day
01:18:51.000 it starts to get harder and harder to do and then a little while later it's even harder and then one
01:18:56.360 day the pain just says i can't do it anymore that's no way to live i was going through the worst years
01:19:05.400 of pain just a few years ago and i remember feeling like nothing would ever come along to stop this
01:19:11.640 pain and i couldn't i couldn't even hold a pen couldn't hold a pencil uh i couldn't paint
01:19:19.240 and it was killing me and i wanted my life back well i found relief factor it's not a drug but
01:19:25.080 developed by doctors and 70 percent of the people who try the relief factor go on to buy more because it
01:19:31.880 works so try the three-week quick start trial pack see if you're part of that 70 percent it's 1995 try it
01:19:41.000 now get your life back relief factor dot com 800-583-84 relief factor dot com
01:19:50.120 you're listening to the glenn back program
01:19:56.120 can i talk about somebody really brave stew i mean really brave really really brave so brave
01:20:01.400 of course so brave uh beto o'rourke oh so brave so brave so brave so brave uh what did he do this time
01:20:09.480 well he went on a four-day walk a four-day walk to to walk for rights that people already have and it
01:20:20.120 was so brave now he walked 30 miles in those in those four days so he was a slow walk very slow very
01:20:28.520 slow walk because i could probably do 30 miles i'm guessing just kind of strolling you know and maybe
01:20:36.600 he probably five hours me me i could probably do that but it took him four days because he's that
01:20:42.360 brave that's a brave walk yeah and he did it so people in texas can do what they're already doing vote
01:20:52.520 it seems like a pointless reason to walk seem but brave very brave to be that pointless that takes a
01:20:59.080 lot of guts a lot of guts what if he were to continue to walk until he actually crossed the border of texas and
01:21:05.000 left the state forever that would be even braver because i've the bravery of the other texas democrats
01:21:10.840 leaving has been really tough on me yeah um and i'm so glad they're brave and not hopefully coming
01:21:16.280 back at all and maybe beto could join them what if beto went to washington dc forever and it didn't
01:21:23.960 come back well he's tried he's tried to do that and the people said no no we don't want you that's the
01:21:30.920 problem with beto you can't get him to leave because no one else wants him right i don't think
01:21:35.160 at this point new york would want him no cuomo is begging for people to move back to new york
01:21:41.000 you know along with a threat that we're going to close your business down
01:21:44.200 any moment any moment this thing could go sideways but bring your businesses back
01:21:49.640 uh and so that's quite the incentive but maybe maybe they can throw in and sprinkle on top
01:21:55.400 and beto o'rark will be here i don't think that's going to work i have a sneaking suspicion that's
01:22:03.160 not not going to work by the way uh new york is not doing all that well when it comes to uh the
01:22:09.960 covid situation right now i have it says uh cases up 159 percent uh in the last two weeks can you not
01:22:17.640 give me the uh percentage can you give me the actual cases uh probably if you give me yeah
01:22:24.440 it's definitely not as bad as it was another yeah the one the one we should probably stop talking
01:22:29.320 percentages because it went straight way down it did go way down yeah like we're seeing like for
01:22:34.040 example if you look at florida there's a high percentage increase but the the i will say the
01:22:38.920 hospitalizations is relatively worrisome i mean i it's it's almost as high as the peak
01:22:44.200 of hospitalizations uh so but again which didn't overwhelm the system no no but uh you know
01:22:51.000 if you still don't want people to die i know i'm not saying that i'm just saying let's you know let's
01:22:56.200 not panic everybody no i'm not i don't think that this show panics people on this particular topic
01:23:03.000 a lot of new yorkers are like wait a minute wait a minute did he say beto o'rourke is moving here
01:23:07.080 here i'm sorry for that that's just a rumor this is the glenn back program whether it's for work or

01:24:29.560 unhappy but i don't just dislike the things they do i hate them and uh one is whom who's somebody that
01:24:40.920 i just hate woodrow wilson the other one is edison i know i know i'm not gonna bore you with edison
01:24:51.880 you'll chew your arm off to get away from me when i start talking about edison please dear god it went on
01:24:56.840 for hours uh but i'm just gonna get an update on woodrow wilson ronald r.j pastrito he is a professor
01:25:05.000 of politics at hillsdale college he is the guy that uh changed my life really changed my understanding
01:25:12.440 of uh american politics with uh his book um uh woodrow wilson and the roots of modern liberalism
01:25:21.320 when i read that i understood what was going on well i want to get an update because we are doing
01:25:27.880 almost exactly what woodrow wilson wanted to do so i want to talk about modern liberalism modern
01:25:35.320 progressivism and where we are on woodrow wilson's uh dream country we do that in 60 seconds
01:25:43.400 the glenn beck program i don't know if you've heard the good news or not but uh democrats have
01:25:51.800 just passed in the senate another five trillion dollar reconciliation social reform bill and it is
01:25:58.520 great because there's nothing that we could do that will help us more than spend another five
01:26:04.760 trillion dollars on you know things that really don't you don't care about really honestly things
01:26:11.400 that we don't have the money for uh but that five trillion dollars is going to make your the value
01:26:16.280 of your dollar go down and so you'll have to worry about how much money you have in the bank all the
01:26:20.840 time because you won't really have any or it won't be of a value so it'll be really good for the american

01:27:04.440 rj pastrito is uh with us uh hey rj how are you hi glenn how are you doing it's been a long time
01:27:14.440 it has been a lot but i still think of you uh uh fondly for everything that you have done i don't
01:27:20.440 know if you've seen the latest polls on woodrow wilson but he does not pull well uh anymore he
01:27:26.600 used to always be in the top five with the all of these professors and he's now towards the bottom
01:27:32.280 well i think you might have had something to do with that back during the obama presidency as i recall
01:27:39.320 well i got a lot of the information uh from you uh and i wanted to talk to you about
01:27:45.480 um the comparisons between joe biden's administration and uh woodrow wilson's
01:27:52.920 administration i mean i i just just the idea that he segregated the military again
01:27:58.440 and in the opposite way in in some ways um joe biden is doing the same thing with the federal
01:28:05.880 government he's he's splitting whites against blacks he's not he's not saying you you know you have to
01:28:12.600 work in separate places or or uh be segregated but he is dividing us and i wanted to talk to you about
01:28:20.280 the comparisons if you saw any between the two well i think the comparison that you know a lot of people
01:28:27.320 would think of quite correctly is in in biden you're dealing with a president who i think any
01:28:33.560 fair person has to say has has greatly diminished cognitive capacity uh and it's not clear who's
01:28:40.920 actually calling the shots in in the biden administration and i i think it's fair to to
01:28:46.760 see it as a kind of uh extension of of the obama presidency and and an extension in power of those who
01:28:54.280 uh who were there in control during the obama presidency and and uh you know that woodrow wilson
01:28:59.560 of course had was disabled uh at the end of of his uh time in office and it was it was unclear
01:29:05.880 uh historians still debate it who exactly was was running things but it was from what i understood
01:29:13.160 it was really his wife that was kind of running the show and even his own party was against that
01:29:20.200 when they couldn't meet with him uh they came and you know she put together a a meeting and she really
01:29:28.120 orchestrated that well but when they really found out that he was trying to run again and he was not
01:29:33.400 in control even his own party turned on him didn't they that's correct yes and and you know it was
01:29:39.240 a situation that you know i think many hoped hoped not to repeat but the circumstances of of the recent
01:29:46.520 electoral cycles here in our country have been so uh you know so hard to imagine that i think we're
01:29:53.160 we're looking we're looking at that kind of situation again here believable um you know i read i don't
01:29:58.680 know if you've ever read it i i i'm sure i'm sure you have but uh uh philip drew administrator one of
01:30:06.120 woodrow wilson's favorite books uh while he was in office i think he read it three times and he and he
01:30:12.760 in it um colonel house talks about uh how uh the country just needs to be done by these new scientific
01:30:22.200 administrators and everything coming out of this administration is no longer going through congress
01:30:29.480 it's no longer uh um uh even debatable now it's all let's listen to the experts this is science science
01:30:37.960 science and we just have to do it are we in administrative state now well we absolutely are
01:30:44.680 and i think that you you have in the pandemic that we've seen over the last year and a half
01:30:50.920 the the greatest possible proof if if more could be needed that uh we are in the throes of an
01:30:57.720 administrative state and and you know we know going back to the original progressives their idea was
01:31:03.320 kind of coming out of the 19th century that science had kind of triumphed and that was the future and
01:31:08.840 it was the darwinian revolution in the 19th century and so they they really thought that
01:31:15.960 the time had come for the limits on government to to be relaxed uh historical progress made it such that
01:31:24.280 we were capable of so much more we knew so much more uh and so the the idea was to put power in the
01:31:31.640 hands of those who were educated those who came up in the universities those who got the advanced
01:31:36.280 degrees i think you mentioned in your intro you know woodrow wilson was a professor he's a you know
01:31:40.200 phd in political science god help us uh you know coming into power uh and so i think you're exactly
01:31:47.640 right what what's the rhetoric that we have seen out of this administration it's always deference to
01:31:53.400 science uh we have the uh cdc imposing moratoria on evictions making policy that it has no right to
01:32:04.120 allows it to make yeah uh we have you know the president's spokespeople unable to justify various
01:32:11.080 measures and mandates that they're taking and they're just saying well this is what the experts
01:32:14.360 tell us to do so i think it's a it's a very timely question and what did what did wilson do i mean it's
01:32:20.360 so fascinating that uh i at least i think they're very very similar uh and they're going through the
01:32:27.800 same thing and you know 1917 1918 we have the spanish flu here in america which is the last time
01:32:34.440 we had a pandemic uh what did wilson do well they are glenn you know wilson was basically the father
01:32:40.680 of the modern administrative state he was the the scholar and of course he was a important academic
01:32:47.320 and thinker in the country for decades before he became you know a big public official and he it was a
01:32:54.440 vision that he had uh for for university educated people to populate a a large bureaucratic apparatus
01:33:03.480 uh he he greatly admired the uh the system in germany and under bismarck in prussia and he he wrote
01:33:10.920 a very famous essay about how we could take the prussian bureaucratic system and take all of its
01:33:16.120 expertise and depend it onto our our constitution and uh you know he started a lot of that in his
01:33:23.720 administration much of it had to wait for later circumstances and later ways people like franklin
01:33:29.880 roosevelt for example who who referred back to woodrow wilson and building the the apparatus that
01:33:36.440 that uh that implemented the new deal but it but that originated with wilson and public administration
01:33:41.800 scholars in our country look to wilson as one of the founders of their discipline in fact did he do
01:33:46.760 shutdowns for the for the uh spanish flu did no mask mandates unprecedented this this is unprecedented
01:33:54.840 what we have in our time because you you have a vision for it in the original progressive era
01:34:00.680 uh but we have never in in the entire history of our country even with very whether it's progressive
01:34:08.120 administration any kind of administration any kind of threat far greater than than covet 19 never have
01:34:14.760 we seen any restriction like this on our liberties uh before it was it was something the original
01:34:20.920 progressives i think even themselves couldn't have fathomed the um the other thing i i found uh striking
01:34:28.360 is that um we we have now facebook which is the public square limiting shaming uh uh listening in on
01:34:40.200 uh gathering information that is just the electronic version of and i can't remember what they were they
01:34:47.080 were like the minute man or something and and he actually had 120 badge wearing americans snooping
01:34:55.000 on their neighbors well world war world war one was was uh an occasion that the wilson administration
01:35:03.720 certainly certainly took advantage of it was one of the ways in which many of the you know administrative
01:35:10.520 entities uh you kind of got got justified although quite honestly uh he had started quite a bit of that
01:35:17.320 before even the circumstances or were upon the country when we in the early wilson administration as
01:35:23.880 you know we have the establishment of of the income tax of the federal trade commission of the federal reserve
01:35:32.280 board so you know a lot of it even starts before those more extreme wartime measures that you mentioned
01:35:41.640 let me let me ask you um you have the new book out called america transformed the
01:35:46.280 rise and legacy of the american progressivism um i said maybe i don't know maybe about a year ago or so
01:35:54.920 that i think progress we are out of the progressive phase and we are now into the uh revolutionary phase
01:36:04.440 with what you're seeing on the streets would you agree with that i think we're in unprecedented times
01:36:12.040 uh i think that the for a lot of years right if you go back a hundred years to when the progressives
01:36:19.640 got started this was a project that has taken time it's it's come over us in a series of waves over the 20th and now 21st century
01:36:28.920 and for a long time we've had an uneasy coexistence between our original constitutional regime which has been there all along
01:36:37.080 it's it's still there and then a progressive mindset an increasingly progressive mindset and a left wing that's been pushing that
01:36:45.480 now for over a hundred years but something ultimately had had to give and that's sort of the story i try to tell in the book
01:36:52.360 it's the book you told me to write 10 years ago by the way really uh and and i finally you know it's it's coming to a head
01:36:59.640 and so we're at a point now where you have citizens the way i try to put it in the book is you have citizens that are really
01:37:07.480 of two different regimes two different countries two different sets of principles that happen to occupy
01:37:12.360 the same space and that the the time has come for this this major concept settled to be resolved because
01:37:19.240 they're they're uh directly opposed to principles the progressive ideas of the limitless state and the
01:37:25.880 founders principles of limited government for the sake of securing our natural god-given rights unfortunately
01:37:31.560 progressivism has taken over really almost every university except a few places like hillsdale uh where
01:37:38.520 you teach and there's nobody to defend when progressivism when woodrow wilson went too far
01:37:44.600 people saw that and they were really taken aback uh and it took the great depression uh and war to
01:37:52.680 have those ideas come back um but they they they went too far and they knew it that they had to kind
01:38:01.240 of hide it and go into the universities and start to teach it um because the american people knew who
01:38:07.880 george washington was they knew who thomas jefferson was they they knew the writings they knew the re they
01:38:13.720 knew the reasoning and they knew the constitution and the bill of rights we don't now how does it work
01:38:19.880 out for us do you think this time well i think uh it's very worrisome for the reason that you suggest
01:38:27.160 that because the higher ed is a complete mess uh you're there are a few islands of sanity i'm very
01:38:33.400 grateful to teach at one in hillsdale of course uh but by and large higher education is a mess and
01:38:38.680 this was this was where progressivism started that's i think i think it's an important point to to
01:38:44.680 understand they invaded the universities first they knew that they they had to go to the places where
01:38:51.240 ideas percolate and that that would slowly this is something that the great political philosopher
01:38:55.960 aristotle teaches us you know that these ideas they percolate at the top and they they filter down
01:39:02.040 and so it's taken it's taken time but the the revolution was was in the universities they
01:39:08.920 a lot of our university your college professors started going over to europe to get their higher
01:39:14.760 degrees it's the thing that you were supposed to do if you wanted to be a trendy educational
01:39:19.320 institution in the second half of the 19th century a lot of orthodox institutions got
01:39:23.800 transformed right under their uh the noses of of good trustees this way uh and so by the time you
01:39:29.960 get to 1900 higher ed in america is already sort of there's already this poison that's been put into
01:39:36.600 the system and it's been uh taking root and you know you you have now you take a look at higher education
01:39:45.480 and and it's essentially an an enemy of the country oh yeah it there that's what you're taught in higher
01:39:51.320 ed is to is to hate this country to hate everything it stands for uh and you know a few of us are
01:39:57.640 sitting there sticking our fingers in the in the in the in the in the wall trying trying to hold it
01:40:02.120 back but it's it's uh it's not easy yeah um i thank you for everything that you've done rj rj

01:42:52.360 and i said no and one lady said uh you know i used to not like stew at all that's interesting you're
01:43:00.200 not alone yeah and she said he's growing on me and i said like mold and she said something a little
01:43:06.440 worse than that but yeah i have been told i am growing yeah uh so that's something you're a growing
01:43:12.600 boy yeah so the uh uh the event went really really well and we as much as i torture you we should point
01:43:19.400 out uh looks like you've raised a quarter of a million dollars yeah don't have the final numbers
01:43:23.800 but it should be like that you know it should be in that area uh for uh yeah for mercury one and yet
01:43:29.880 again our audience uh steps up in moments like this they always do they always do you know we've
01:43:36.920 raised millions and millions of dollars for charity and they've done a great job especially in this
01:43:40.760 circumstance which it's not only you have to donate but you've got to lug home this thing
01:43:46.200 you know this painting thing and then you got to figure out what to do with it you probably your
01:43:50.120 trash guy won't even take it i'm not sure you know that's the a lot of times they won't yeah they
01:43:53.960 won't even take it you gotta call for a bulk delivery you know it's big okay you know what's really
01:43:57.960 weird is i don't think anybody because i said you know you'd take you'll take the tax write-off you
01:44:03.240 don't have to pay me my share you just just send it to mercury one yourself and i i don't think
01:44:08.200 anybody did i think they all just paid paid for uh the uh so i get a big tax write-off which is
01:44:14.120 really nice i don't think that's how taxes work exactly you might want to talk to a okay talk to
01:44:19.400 an accountant on that yeah probably really they watch those things huh they do they do not if you're
01:44:24.840 hunter biden they don't watch it if you're hunter biden huh that's totally okay you can raise
01:44:29.560 millions and millions of dollars not for charity right and from china and and from china china and
01:44:36.360 crack yeah all right and of course there's lots of bills that need to be paid for particular visits
01:44:41.320 to alabama yeah uh strip clubs uh down in that general vicinity that must be hard for his accountant

01:46:52.760 this uh infrastructure government spending bill he couldn't he couldn't put a little padding in
01:46:57.320 there for the art yeah put a padding in for a private jet flight to your art show and they're
01:47:00.840 back that's all yeah and maybe a couple paintings along with them but oh no i i'm too serious i i've got
01:47:06.520 work to do people don't want us spending money mike you're leaving out the real reason i didn't come
01:47:15.080 glenn which is that i'm still offended that you didn't include any of my art i mean i know stick
01:47:20.360 figures get a bad rap in american art culture these days but it's pretty good yeah come from me yeah no
01:47:25.560 that's good stuff mike uh mike lee uh the senator from utah you were up late last night uh working on this
01:47:33.000 bipartisan bipartisan government spending bill uh how many of you guys voted against this thing
01:47:41.080 there were about uh 40 of us who voted against it maybe 35 who voted against it at the earlier stages
01:47:49.800 here's the weird thing though glenn we voted on this a couple times last week the bill didn't yet exist
01:47:55.080 at the time the bill didn't exist until last night late last night i i finally received it as i was
01:48:04.440 sitting on the senate floor with a bunch of my colleagues who were getting ready to give speeches
01:48:07.880 in favor of it and um all of a sudden i i got it electronically it's 2702 pages long yeah well
01:48:15.320 that's that's an easy read kind of strange that they voted to proceed to it without knowing what it
01:48:19.960 was first well let me ask you this isn't this kind of just like weren't really last week just saying
01:48:26.840 hey how much do you want to spend we'll fill it in later how much do you want to spend isn't
01:48:32.120 isn't that what it was yeah that's yeah that's kind of what they were doing that yeah deciding overall
01:48:37.000 threshold amounts and and deciding uh you know in general terms what the agreement would consist of but
01:48:43.320 normally that's not how we vote on actual pieces of legislation but in any event we've got it
01:48:49.160 now it's 2702 pages long how much is spent how much is spending on this one it spends 1.2 trillion
01:48:56.440 dollars i'll love that and of that 1.2 trillion dollars 550 of it is new federal spending
01:49:04.680 above and beyond what we were expected to spend this year which strikes me as curious given that
01:49:10.600 it's a terrible time to be spending more money at a time when due to deliberate reckless overspending
01:49:17.560 by the federal government poor middle class americans are finding that everything they purchase is more
01:49:22.600 expensive from from from chicken breast to gasoline to cars to housing everything is more expensive
01:49:31.480 because we're spending too much money in washington oh my gosh stew how can we listen to this old-timey
01:49:36.600 guy blah blah blah inflation don't you know that inflation is not a problem it's not going to be a
01:49:43.480 problem you because they're digitizing they're not they're not actually printing they're digitizing
01:49:50.440 mike and that is totally different it's transitory and that better that of course makes those dollars
01:49:56.200 spend very differently and and inflation proof doesn't it yeah it sure does you know you met you brought
01:50:01.800 up when you were on the floor of the senate i i watched uh some of the highlights and uh you made a
01:50:06.760 great point about inflation you were like even even just the act of spending all of this money
01:50:14.680 when you're talking about infrastructure will drive the cost of the things that are already expensive
01:50:20.920 up because now the private sector has to compete with the government that's exactly right so everything
01:50:28.040 that goes into these projects from cement to the aggregate materials you use to make concrete
01:50:33.960 to steel to labor and everything else all those things are more expensive right now and so look i'm
01:50:42.200 i'm not a a fan of stimulus style spending but even to those who might be they might be able to make a
01:50:51.000 slightly less bad case for this in a time when demand for these products is low and uh industries are
01:50:57.080 shutting down i still wouldn't like to see government doing that but whatever you can make a case for it in
01:51:02.840 that circumstance not one that i agree with but but you can't make a good case for doing it right now
01:51:08.840 where everything is inflated where every federal dollar we put into this is going to go less far
01:51:14.280 because it's a federal dollar and it comes with lots of strings attached and it will go even less
01:51:18.200 far because of the fact that all of these things are in short supply and can be procured only at a
01:51:23.160 premium we will get less from this as a result of the fact that it's federal and as a result of the
01:51:27.960 fact that we're doing it right now so why are they saying this is a good deal why why why are the
01:51:32.920 republicans even thinking we have to do any of this stuff well look i i'm always reluctant to speak for
01:51:40.680 those who are not present i i'm not a good spokesman for them because i disagree fundamentally with what
01:51:46.440 they're doing i suspect if one of them were on the phone with us they'd say okay well first of all we need
01:51:51.560 infrastructure secondly if we do this then what the democrats do on their bill the bill that they
01:51:57.480 intend to pass with a simple majority uh either later this week or or later this month uh they
01:52:04.760 will spend less than they would otherwise spend if we didn't do this now if we were in court and
01:52:10.360 someone testified to that effect i'd stand up and say objection assumes facts not in evidence i don't
01:52:17.640 know how they can possibly know that they will spend less if we pass this bill and in any event
01:52:23.480 that doesn't mean we don't we don't have to put our names on something that we think is bad and
01:52:28.760 harmful to the american people if we don't agree with it look glenn there there are sort of three
01:52:33.640 different people groups of people in america one of which will benefit from this bill one of which
01:52:40.200 might not notice much of a difference and the others will be hurt by it the first group
01:52:44.920 consisting of those who might benefit from it tend to be wealthy well-connected individuals and
01:52:50.680 business interests in this country who might actually get rich off of it the next group consists
01:52:55.480 of well-off americans who have enough money that they won't notice a big hit to their cost of their
01:53:01.320 their lifestyle uh but almost everyone else the vast overwhelming majority of americans fits into the
01:53:08.360 third category of people who have limited paychecks in many cases living paycheck to paycheck every
01:53:16.120 dollar will buy less as a result of spending like this one those people will be hurt so in some ways
01:53:22.360 we're exchanging one thing for another in some ways we're taking money away from poor middle-class
01:53:29.000 americans and giving it to the wealthy and well-connected i can't justify that this is the
01:53:33.640 opposite of robin hood this is the opposite of robin hood exactly senator lee there's some argument
01:53:39.560 that the passing something bipartisan gives senator manchin senator cinema some some talking point to go
01:53:50.040 back to democrats and say we shouldn't drop the filibuster do you think there's anything to that at
01:53:55.560 all yeah look i don't want them to drop the filibuster they shouldn't drop the filibuster
01:54:01.880 we have no guarantee that if we didn't do this they would drop the filibuster or that by doing this
01:54:10.040 they won't no guarantee whatsoever what we have to vote on is the legislation before us now the
01:54:16.440 legislation before us 2702 pages long which we received late last night has been hammered out
01:54:24.360 over a period of four months by 10 very smart very hard-working senators senators with whom i
01:54:31.000 happen to disagree on this issue but but they worked hard on it they've had four months to come
01:54:35.960 up with 2702 pages it is beyond folly to suggest that the entire senate should now get up to speed on
01:54:45.480 that and be expected to process it amend it vote on it and pass it within a period of a few days we need
01:54:54.520 arguably at least as much time as they did at a minimum we need at least a few weeks to work on
01:55:00.040 this we have no business spending this amount of money and passing this size of a bill that we saw
01:55:05.880 for the first time last night within a few days remember it was barack obama who said he was going
01:55:12.520 to have the uh the transparency that had never happened before and he would post every bill for at least a
01:55:18.760 couple of weeks before it was ever voted on they never did that nobody ever has an intention of doing
01:55:25.000 this and all of these things aren't are are are banged out and and really a lot in the house is just put
01:55:33.080 together by the the heads of the party and then everybody else is just told vote for it yes no that's
01:55:41.640 exactly right and it reflects one of the sad biases that you see in this place you know senators get
01:55:49.560 praise when they pass big spending bills they get criticized when they vote against them they assume
01:55:56.120 that passing legislation is a good thing in the abstract i'm reminded of something that calvin
01:56:01.960 coolidge once said he said as a lawmaker it's important to both pass good bills and stop bad ones
01:56:08.840 they're both important but as between the two it's the second that's more important it's more
01:56:12.840 important to stop the bad bills because a good bill that doesn't pass today can always be passed later
01:56:18.120 a bad bill once it passes it's nearly impossible to unwind you can't ever get rid of it and that's
01:56:24.520 why we've got to focus on this look a handful of senators will get praised if this thing passes
01:56:31.000 but that praise and that adulation that political notoriety for a few days
01:56:35.480 will have long-term consequences for americans america's poor and middle class and that concerns
01:56:41.320 me greatly can you tell us what infrastructure even means now mike well look it means a lot of things
01:56:50.200 in this bill they're they're talking about all sorts of things from uh uh from highways bridges
01:56:57.320 roads okay hang on just a second we have every time there's a big bill it's an infrastructure bill
01:57:05.320 when and how much was it going to take to actually fix the roads and the bridges the federal roads and
01:57:11.720 bridges because i'm tired of hearing about infrastructure fixing the roads and bridges
01:57:16.040 because nobody ever shows us any progress on that and says okay we're a lot closer just an endless
01:57:22.360 infrastructure bill fix the roads and bridges right and and look you you can always identify
01:57:29.400 things that have been fixed and that's why things like this can be very tempting because people can
01:57:34.600 point to good things that will happen to good people and good communities that are well deserving of
01:57:40.520 improvements the question i raise is does it have to be this much does it have to be right now and does
01:57:46.360 it have to be through this government i'm still going through this bill because it takes a while to do it
01:57:52.120 it doesn't read like a fast-paced novel but but but glenn i i will be shocked if there isn't a whole
01:57:59.800 lot of infrastructure in here that isn't federal in nature that is not or should not be federal now if
01:58:07.880 it's if it's part of an interstate highway then right yeah perhaps it should be federal or some other
01:58:15.000 project that with an appropriate federal nexus that's close maybe so i i'm willing to bet that a large
01:58:21.960 portion of this is going to go to surface streets that start and stop in the same state and things
01:58:29.240 that are otherwise not necessarily appropriate for the federal government and that's not just
01:58:33.720 an esoteric problem it creates real financial problems correct the minute you add a dollar
01:58:38.680 of federal spending to an infrastructure project in many states like mine it can add 30 sometimes more
01:58:44.920 to the cost of the project because you have to comply with this byzantine labyrinth of federal
01:58:49.080 regulations and mandates and so you're buying less with more money when you make it federal we
01:58:55.240 shouldn't do that uh there is also a 3.5 trillion dollar human infrastructure bill coming our way
01:59:05.080 yes yes that is a bill that the senate democrats are working on that they believe that they can pass with a
01:59:13.080 the mere 51 votes and i'm calling it the inflation bomb because that would truly be it they've learned
01:59:21.480 over time that bills can be more palatable if you call them something most americans understand and
01:59:28.440 resonate with patriot act yeah yeah if you call it about the troops or about national security generally
01:59:35.000 or if you talk about infrastructure perhaps they'll accept it more easily but this is this uh inflation
01:59:42.920 bomb that they want to pass with a simple majority is a whole lot of stuff that has nothing to do with
01:59:49.560 infrastructure it's just big government spending and to put that in perspective three and a half
01:59:54.280 trillion dollars many of us expect it'll be more like four or five trillion dollars by the way that's um
01:59:59.960 roughly on par with what we spend in a particular year out of the entire federal government in a
02:00:08.280 non-covid year so if they expect that we can roughly double that amount and have no consequences
02:00:16.760 they're crazy they're just not looking at the facts look 37 of all us dollars that have ever come
02:00:22.760 into existence have been printed in the last 18 months you don't do that without making a whole lot
02:00:29.640 of poor middle-class americans poorer hey one last thing i'd like to ask you because i know that
