The Glenn Beck Program - You WILL Pay for All These Bank Failures ｜ Guest： Heather Mac Donald

00:00:00.000 Let me tell you about Rough Greens.

00:00:02.880 I have a feeling that my dog was hit by a skunk this morning because I wake up and my

00:00:13.500 bedroom smells like skunk.

00:00:15.500 And then I see my little doggie outside, like the window going, I'm like, oh, somebody went

00:00:25.120 out.

00:00:25.660 Somebody went out last night.

00:00:27.880 Tied one on with a skunk.

00:00:29.260 I got it.

00:00:30.000 I don't know if Rough Greens will help you with that, buddy, but you're living outside

00:00:34.160 for a while.

00:00:35.500 Rough Greens, roughgreens.com slash Beck is the address.

00:00:40.220 Get your free bag of Rough Greens if your dog loves it as much as Uno does, but he loves

00:00:46.560 skunks as well.

00:00:48.340 Doesn't like all the things that happen, but apparently he cannot recognize, oh, that's

00:00:54.560 the animal that did this to me last time.

00:00:57.060 If you would like your dog to have the best nutrition, live a long life, be healthy, try

00:01:04.580 Rough Greens, ruffgreens.com slash Beck.

00:01:07.800 You sprinkle the supplement on the dog's food and they love it and you can watch them change.

00:01:12.580 It's really amazing.

00:01:14.740 Roughgreens.com slash Beck or 833-GLEN-33.

00:01:17.820 We got no room to compromise.

00:01:35.360 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:00.220 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:05.180 Well, hello, you sick, twisted freak.

00:02:10.840 Yet another central bank got a phone call from Vladimir Zelensky.

00:02:19.040 And as it turns out, it's not Vladimir Zelensky.

00:02:23.240 It was an AI thing.

00:02:25.920 Wait, what?

00:02:26.700 What?

00:02:26.920 What's wrong with people?

00:02:30.400 Let me tell you right now.

00:02:31.640 So you can be the next central banker when that phone rings and they're like, it's Vladimir

00:02:38.660 Zelensky.

00:02:39.660 Just know this.

00:02:41.380 It's most likely not Vladimir Zelensky.

00:02:44.980 But we're finding out all kinds of things.

00:02:48.440 And I want to tie it into the lessons I learned today, listening to the New York Times, The Daily.

00:03:00.360 They had some incredible information about the collapse of yet the latest bank.

00:03:10.020 Wait until you hear it, because it opened up a whole new world for me.

00:03:16.240 A whole new way of looking at things and understanding the banking crisis in a deep and significant way.

00:03:24.640 We start there in 60 seconds.

00:03:27.420 You know who you are.

00:03:29.060 The moment I start talking about severe and frequent pain, your ears perk up as they always do.

00:03:33.880 You've been listening to me ramble on and on and on about relief factor.

00:03:37.080 It always sounds nice, but you haven't tried it.

00:03:40.020 Why?

00:03:41.040 Because you were like me.

00:03:43.020 You're stubborn.

00:03:45.660 I don't think relief factor will work for me.

00:03:47.880 I just, uh-huh, uh-huh.

00:03:50.060 They advertise it on that Glenn Beck program.

00:03:53.040 Uh-huh.

00:03:53.580 I know.

00:03:54.080 No, I know.

00:03:54.680 There's a million reasons not to try it.

00:03:58.180 Here's a really big one to try it.

00:04:00.760 It might work.

00:04:01.860 You're out of pain.

00:04:03.000 Three-week quick start.

00:04:04.360 1995.

00:04:05.320 Trial pack.

00:04:06.000 Not a drug.

00:04:06.600 Developed by doctors.

00:04:07.560 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered relief factor.

00:04:10.020 And about 70% of them go on to order more.

00:04:12.360 So go to relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF.

00:04:16.760 800-4-RELIEF or relieffactor.com.

00:04:19.960 That's relieffactor.com.

00:04:22.080 Feel the difference.

00:04:25.100 Wow.

00:04:25.800 Stu, did you catch the New York Times the Daily today?

00:04:28.860 I did not.

00:04:29.700 No.

00:04:29.820 I haven't listened to it in months.

00:04:33.120 It's a good choice.

00:04:34.000 But I thought, you know, today, maybe I'll see what they have to say.

00:04:38.780 And I learned so much about the banking crisis.

00:04:43.000 Did you?

00:04:43.520 Yeah.

00:04:43.880 Yeah.

00:04:44.380 So listen in and learn.

00:04:46.500 So, Gina, another day, another bank failure.

00:04:54.140 Starting to be the pattern these days.

00:04:56.200 Very much.

00:04:56.940 And after these two banks had failed, Silicon Valley Bank, then a couple days later, Signature

00:05:03.980 Bank, the hope, and I'd say the expectation, was that this crisis might be over.

00:05:09.620 It was not over.

00:05:10.500 In fact, Third Bank, First Republic Bank, collapsed.

00:05:14.360 And it was even bigger as a bank than the previous two that failed.

00:05:18.820 So tell us about why First Republic Bank ultimately went under.

00:05:23.580 I think that what happened at First Republic was sort of a slow motion reaction to what

00:05:28.980 happened at Silicon Valley Bank, that first bank that failed.

00:05:32.200 The other thing is a lot of the sort of assets on First Republic's balance sheet, a lot of

00:05:37.960 its loans, a lot of its, you know, sort of business, isn't actually all that bad looking.

00:05:43.080 It just didn't hold up well in the face of rising interest rates.

00:05:47.160 And JP Morgan has also, in this case, got some guarantees from the government.

00:05:52.500 The government is going to share in losses on the portions of the business that aren't

00:05:57.460 looking so hot.

00:05:58.500 Wait.

00:05:58.920 Now, does that mean that the government, and by that, I mean you and me, the

00:06:02.100 taxpayer are now subsidizing JP Morgan Chase's purchase of First Republic.

00:06:07.400 So far, the government has been careful to say that no taxpayer money is being used to

00:06:12.220 bail out any of these failing banks.

00:06:14.740 So is that true in this case as well?

00:06:18.180 It is.

00:06:18.980 But it's a little bit complicated.

00:06:20.740 This deal is going to cost the government about $13 billion, which is going to be covered

00:06:25.700 by the insurance fund that's paid by every federally regulated bank.

00:06:30.360 So it's not taxpayer money per se.

00:06:33.780 But the banks will tell you, and some people outside of the banks will tell you, that while

00:06:39.300 this is paid for by assessments on banks, at the end of the day, that comes back to hit

00:06:44.660 the bank customers because the banks are going to raise the money by charging more fees on

00:06:50.720 mortgages, on bank accounts, on things like that.

00:06:53.520 Okay.

00:06:53.820 And so it's possible that you'll still end up subsidizing this, whether it's directly

00:06:59.780 or not.

00:07:00.360 It's possible.

00:07:01.040 And even if you don't want to.

00:07:02.660 So if you have any relationship with a federally regulated bank, which almost all of us do,

00:07:08.580 you're in one form or another eventually helping to pay for this deal.

00:07:13.800 Yeah, exactly.

00:07:15.040 So if you're JPMorgan Chase, this is a pretty good deal, obviously.

00:07:18.620 But there's something a little bit funny about it, which is that JPMorgan Chase is already

00:07:24.120 the nation's largest bank.

00:07:26.140 And after the financial crisis in 2008, the whole idea was that big banks shouldn't get

00:07:31.740 any bigger, shouldn't be buying up their rivals because they might become too big to fail.

00:07:36.680 So this deal seemed kind of at odds with that.

00:07:41.220 So it is a little weird.

00:07:42.620 I think the message we all took from 2008 was that really big banks can be dangerous.

00:07:48.480 And certainly that was baked into the legislation that we saw passing after 2008.

00:07:52.920 We saw a restriction that said the largest banks in America can no longer acquire really

00:07:58.880 big banks because we don't want too much of the nation's deposit base concentrated at

00:08:03.900 any one bank.

00:08:04.960 We don't want that.

00:08:05.900 However, there was an exception to that rule.

00:08:08.660 And the exception is that if a bank is failing, a large bank can acquire it.

00:08:15.100 And that's really what we saw come into play here.

00:08:18.580 JPMorgan was also able to offer the least cost option to acquire First Republic.

00:08:23.440 So we learned that big banks were bad and big banks can't grow any bigger.

00:08:36.100 But how do they grow bigger, Stu?

00:08:38.440 They grow bigger by buying other banks.

00:08:42.100 Okay.

00:08:42.720 So they can't do that.

00:08:44.260 No.

00:08:44.600 But if that bank fails, they can do that.

00:08:48.180 Of course.

00:08:49.120 Right.

00:08:49.480 That makes total sense, doesn't it?

00:08:51.520 So they can become much bigger, much more cheaply.

00:08:54.640 Yeah.

00:08:54.920 That was the goal of the legislation.

00:08:57.160 Yeah.

00:08:57.340 Yeah.

00:08:57.660 And I mean, you know, not that the Federal Reserve is playing favorites at all.

00:09:03.300 JPMorgan Jays.

00:09:05.980 That's incredible, too.

00:09:06.920 And it's like they had to buy the bank.

00:09:09.500 They were able to designate what parts of it they didn't want.

00:09:13.560 So this is the partnership with the government.

00:09:16.180 The government's going to share the burden.

00:09:17.540 No, you gave all of the good assets to JPMorgan Chase.

00:09:23.240 We took all the bad assets.

00:09:25.880 Right.

00:09:26.600 I mean, who does this deal?

00:09:29.540 It's incredible.

00:09:30.300 It's like if one building in an apartment complex burns to the ground and then you say,

00:09:35.240 well, I'm going to come in, but I'm not going to take over any of the responsibility for the

00:09:38.820 one that burned down.

00:09:39.640 I'm just going to take all of the nice buildings that are still operating with all renters in

00:09:44.080 there paying their rent completely fine.

00:09:45.940 I'll take all of those over for 80 percent off the cost.

00:09:48.960 Right.

00:09:49.380 Oh, great.

00:09:50.800 Yeah.

00:09:51.380 You'll do that.

00:09:52.260 That's wow.

00:09:53.180 Thank you so much.

00:09:54.040 Now, listen, if any of my renters start not paying the rent, you're going to have to take

00:09:59.380 those.

00:09:59.520 You'll take it off.

00:10:00.140 But you can do it on insurance.

00:10:02.020 You just you just get money from all the other apartment complexes, which are going to charge

00:10:08.460 all of the other people in those apartments more money to rent their house.

00:10:12.500 So in case some of my renters go down, you can pay me.

00:10:18.140 Wow.

00:10:19.860 What a good deal for the United States of America.

00:10:23.560 Yeah.

00:10:24.040 We win again.

00:10:25.360 Yeah.

00:10:25.680 And by the way, an insurance fund.

00:10:27.660 How when does this dry up?

00:10:28.920 How many banks does this need to happen to before we have nothing left in this account?

00:10:33.000 OK, so there from what I understand, there was nothing left in the account after we bailed

00:10:38.420 out Silicon Valley Bank.

00:10:39.900 OK, but but that it gets complicated here, Stu.

00:10:44.860 It gets complicated.

00:10:46.420 The government will just print more money.

00:10:50.640 Oh, well, but wait a minute.

00:10:54.940 That doesn't seem complicated.

00:10:57.040 Yeah.

00:10:57.300 Yeah.

00:10:57.700 No.

00:10:58.180 Well, you got to get the ink and the paper, but they're digitizing and that's where it

00:11:03.600 gets complex.

00:11:04.560 Do we digitize it or do we print it?

00:11:07.660 They don't know.

00:11:08.440 They don't know.

00:11:08.960 They'll have meetings and stuff.

00:11:10.760 So it gets complicated and probably a little bit too much for you to understand.

00:11:14.720 Yeah.

00:11:15.000 Above my pay grade.

00:11:16.160 Yeah.

00:11:16.180 Above your pay grade.

00:11:17.000 Just a little bit.

00:11:17.760 They say, by the way, $128 billion are in this fund.

00:11:21.720 Uh-huh.

00:11:22.260 Uh-huh.

00:11:23.020 Now, I know they just said this bank had $120 billion that were people pulled out that

00:11:30.220 caused this crisis in the first place.

00:11:31.980 Right.

00:11:32.280 One bank.

00:11:33.100 One bank.

00:11:33.840 Yeah.

00:11:34.100 They lost $120 billion.

00:11:36.060 Yeah.

00:11:36.260 There's $128 billion in the entire fund.

00:11:38.640 Yeah.

00:11:39.180 So, and we just spent apparently $13 billion on it.

00:11:42.660 Yeah, but you're not going to be, the taxpayer is not going to bear that burden.

00:11:45.020 No.

00:11:45.360 What happens when that runs out?

00:11:47.200 Well, you're not going to bear that burden.

00:11:48.960 No.

00:11:49.140 They will get that money from the banks.

00:11:51.900 Okay?

00:11:52.340 And the banks will get that money just from people, you know, really rich people, people

00:11:59.000 who have bank accounts, okay?

00:12:01.020 If you've got a bank account, sure, you're a fat cat who's going to even, you probably

00:12:06.180 have so much, I'm speaking directly to those few people in this audience that have bank

00:12:11.360 accounts.

00:12:12.000 Mm-hmm.

00:12:12.280 Yeah, there's only a few.

00:12:13.060 You've got a bank account.

00:12:14.780 You're not even going to notice that's missing.

00:12:17.300 Mm-hmm.

00:12:17.960 You know what I mean?

00:12:18.940 Yeah.

00:12:19.220 Yeah, okay.

00:12:19.920 Yeah.

00:12:20.200 So, it's not you, the average taxpayer.

00:12:23.340 It's just people that have bank accounts.

00:12:26.100 Oh, okay.

00:12:27.060 Yeah, I have another question.

00:12:28.800 Yeah.

00:12:29.320 Sure.

00:12:29.660 Just a sidebar here.

00:12:30.160 Yeah, yeah.

00:12:30.480 So, they also, to get through this crisis.

00:12:33.600 Yeah.

00:12:33.900 Uh-huh.

00:12:34.080 The last couple months.

00:12:35.060 Yeah.

00:12:35.360 When we were told they were going to make it, because we had all these incredible actions.

00:12:39.900 No, it's all passed.

00:12:40.780 Yeah.

00:12:40.940 Except for the stuff that they know about that might be coming.

00:12:43.300 They also borrowed about $50 billion from the Fed.

00:12:48.460 What happens with that?

00:12:50.100 Like, does JPMorgan Chase have to pay that back?

00:12:53.500 How-

00:12:53.760 No, they got that back.

00:12:55.940 What?

00:12:56.720 Hmm?

00:12:57.120 They go, what?

00:12:58.000 Eh, that money just is like-

00:12:59.720 Why is your voice getting so high when you're-

00:13:01.360 I'm just saying that they just don't have any, you know, that money is-

00:13:05.260 It's like, it's, there's nobody to pay it.

00:13:08.480 There's, I mean-

00:13:09.480 Right.

00:13:09.800 So, there's no money there.

00:13:12.580 So, it's just like it just disappeared.

00:13:14.620 Hmm.

00:13:16.260 Wait, what?

00:13:17.420 What do you mean it just disappeared?

00:13:19.320 It's on a balance sheet someplace.

00:13:21.760 Right.

00:13:22.060 But we don't know where.

00:13:23.300 Who's, and who pay probably the same damn people that own those bank accounts.

00:13:29.080 Oh, okay, good.

00:13:30.140 You know, we're going to squeeze them to get that money back.

00:13:33.240 Because they keep telling me, if we have-

00:13:35.080 If you have at least $250,000 in your bank account, your money is safe.

00:13:38.640 That money is guaranteed by the federal government.

00:13:41.300 Okay, well, I don't believe them.

00:13:44.900 What do you mean?

00:13:45.520 I don't.

00:13:46.740 What do you mean?

00:13:47.160 You go to, you have $250,000.

00:13:49.280 Are you pulling your money out of the bank?

00:13:51.640 I mean, I'm very, I don't know what to do, honestly, at this point.

00:13:55.040 You leave your money in the bank.

00:13:56.200 You make sure that you don't have more than $250,000.

00:13:59.080 The government will just make more.

00:14:03.260 What?

00:14:03.380 That is basically what we're all supposed to believe, right?

00:14:06.260 No, like-

00:14:06.680 And they will.

00:14:08.460 They will just print more.

00:14:12.500 What do you-

00:14:13.000 To cover all losses from all bank accounts?

00:14:15.660 Yes.

00:14:15.940 They'll just keep printing.

00:14:18.820 Well, what is that?

00:14:19.520 Does that have any-

00:14:20.280 Modern monetary theory.

00:14:22.000 It's modern-

00:14:22.460 I'm being dead serious.

00:14:23.800 I know.

00:14:24.100 This is modern monetary theory.

00:14:25.380 I'm a tad concerned as what the fall might be to that.

00:14:29.280 Why?

00:14:30.480 What could possibly happen?

00:14:31.900 I mean, inflation, economic collapse.

00:14:34.980 Inflation is transitory, and the Fed is working on that.

00:14:39.160 They have a plan.

00:14:40.080 In fact, when the call came in from Vladimir Zelensky,

00:14:43.600 who wasn't Vladimir Zelensky, let me tell you something.

00:14:48.160 If your organization can't figure out if that's actually the leader of Ukraine on the phone,

00:14:57.080 you shouldn't have a credit card, let alone be in charge of the Fed.

00:15:02.700 I'm just saying.

00:15:04.960 But once again, a central banker is fooled by this group of people that are posing as Vladimir Zelensky and then recording it.

00:15:14.400 And it's not on the phone.

00:15:16.600 Apparently, it's a video conference call.

00:15:20.400 How are they falling for a Skype call?

00:15:24.200 Yeah, I don't know.

00:15:25.620 Don't know.

00:15:26.440 But maybe, you know, just the computer rings.

00:15:29.780 And you just, oh, hang on.

00:15:32.980 I've got a FaceTime call coming in.

00:15:36.140 It's Vladimir Zelensky.

00:15:38.980 We didn't hear from your people or anything.

00:15:42.080 How'd you get my number?

00:15:44.480 Well, let me tell you all my deepest, darkest secrets that I'm not going to tell everybody else.

00:15:49.580 But I'll tell you, Vladimir, because you're trustworthy.

00:15:52.620 Here's what Powell said.

00:15:57.020 No, this is not what he's telling the American people.

00:16:00.240 Listen to this.

00:16:02.120 But what we're going to find is that growth in 2022 was positive but modest.

00:16:08.200 It was subdued.

00:16:09.560 So, you know, 1% around that level.

00:16:13.800 In terms of this year, most forecasts call for the U.S. economy to continue to grow but at a pretty subdued level.

00:16:19.980 So growth of less than 1%.

00:16:22.040 Less than 1%.

00:16:23.280 So stop for a second.

00:16:25.080 Is anyone, does anyone on the planet think that growth of less than 1% is really growth?

00:16:37.600 I mean, I think that's probably in the margin of error.

00:16:40.200 Yeah.

00:16:40.720 And I honestly, considering what other economists are saying, growth of under 1% would be positive.

00:16:49.120 Yes.

00:16:49.440 Yes, it would.

00:16:50.440 Compared to what they're actually predicting, which is recession.

00:16:52.520 Right.

00:16:52.740 So he's maybe in the spin zone where he's like, you know, but Vlad, listen, we can keep sending you to those bullets because our growth, our growth is like crazy right now.

00:17:07.260 Crazy high, zero point something numbers.

00:17:10.860 Yeah.

00:17:11.160 It's great.

00:17:11.760 We are on track for another record year.

00:17:14.820 And I mean that.

00:17:15.900 Here he is.

00:17:16.400 But we, we would tell you that a recession is almost as likely as, as, as very slow growth.

00:17:24.260 Huh.

00:17:24.760 Wait.

00:17:25.840 That's not what you can tell us.

00:17:27.000 That's a fact.

00:17:28.260 And I think that is partly because of, uh, of us having raised rates quite a bit, but this is what it takes to get inflation.

00:17:35.740 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:17:37.300 Whoa.

00:17:39.940 Why are we having a recession according to the Fed chair?

00:17:47.300 Because the Fed is raising rates.

00:17:53.280 Huh.

00:17:54.040 Now, wait a minute.

00:17:55.180 I got to get my arms around this.

00:17:57.020 This is a whole new concept that raising rates puts people out of work, makes it harder for them to put food on the table.

00:18:08.860 It's a whole new concept.

00:18:11.780 Give me 60 seconds to digest it because there's more coming.

00:18:16.300 Car shield.

00:18:17.000 If you're, um, if you're pretty basic, you know, something you weren't expecting, uh, to go wrong with your car, it's going to go wrong.

00:18:24.520 I mean, really cool kids have, you know, multiple things go wrong with their car.

00:18:28.880 They bring it in.

00:18:29.480 They're like, check engine.

00:18:30.420 And then they get in there like, yeah, we checked the brakes too.

00:18:33.700 Oh, did you think?

00:18:35.440 Thank you for that.

00:18:36.360 And you wind up with a huge bill unless of course you have car shield car shield offers affordable protection plans to fit every budget and covers more parts than ever before.

00:18:48.320 I know because I have a couple of old dumpy trucks that I use at the farm and I don't ever want to pay another dime for them.

00:18:58.280 I would like them.

00:18:59.620 I don't care if they run on hamster power.

00:19:02.720 I want them to run and me not have to fix them and make costly repairs, but no, no, no, you can't do that anymore.

00:19:13.020 Cause you have to have all the latest computer chips and everything else in them.

00:19:17.260 And when I say latest, I mean, you know, those computer chips that were out in 2010, which are almost collectors items now.

00:19:25.720 So they're very difficult to get a hold of car shield has saved me thousands of dollars on my truck repairs.

00:19:32.940 They can help you get coverage.

00:19:34.920 Like I did get car shield today, 800-227-6100, 1-800-227-6100, save 20% on your plan, lock in your price and it will never go up 800-227-6100 or visit carshield.com slash back.

00:19:52.300 That's carshield.com slash back.

00:19:55.000 10 seconds.

00:19:55.960 Station ID.

00:20:05.160 Okay.

00:20:05.840 Okay.

00:20:06.480 All right.

00:20:07.180 So hang on just a second.

00:20:08.820 Hang on just a second.

00:20:09.640 I want to make sure I understand this.

00:20:11.860 So we're in a recession.

00:20:14.020 Why?

00:20:15.460 Because, or we could have a recession according to General Pell, just as likely.

00:20:21.340 Why?

00:20:21.820 Because they're raising interest rates.

00:20:25.000 Stu, why are they raising interest rates?

00:20:28.820 Because of inflation?

00:20:30.460 Trying to get inflation under control?

00:20:31.900 Getting inflation.

00:20:32.860 What is the definition of inflation?

00:20:38.900 Too many dollars chasing too few goods?

00:20:42.520 Huh.

00:20:42.740 So what is the real problem?

00:20:45.840 We have too many dollars and we have too few goods.

00:20:51.520 So there's two things you can do there.

00:20:53.660 Right.

00:20:54.340 You can get people working to make more goods or you can get rid of all of those dollars.

00:21:04.420 Mm-hmm.

00:21:05.140 Okay.

00:21:05.480 The first thing you do, if you want to get rid of dollars, what's the first thing you do?

00:21:12.540 Raise interest rates?

00:21:13.660 No.

00:21:14.200 No.

00:21:14.560 No.

00:21:14.920 The first thing you do.

00:21:16.080 Mm-hmm.

00:21:16.320 If you are, if you are, your house is underwater because you had a faucet that just blew, a pipe

00:21:27.460 that just blew, what would the first thing you would do?

00:21:32.300 Turn off the water.

00:21:33.140 You'd turn off the water.

00:21:34.780 So stop printing money.

00:21:35.880 You'd stop printing money.

00:21:40.420 That's a great idea.

00:21:42.420 Mm-hmm.

00:21:42.900 So the first thing you would do, now I'm not a plumber, nor am I a printer, but I am a thinker.

00:21:53.980 The first thing you would do is shut the printing press off.

00:22:00.780 Mm-hmm.

00:22:01.260 Okay.

00:22:02.200 All right.

00:22:03.280 Is our government doing that?

00:22:04.740 No.

00:22:05.980 No.

00:22:06.840 What's the reverse of the government doing that?

00:22:08.620 Right.

00:22:08.880 They're doing more of it.

00:22:10.080 Is he saying in here that we should stop our out-of-control spending?

00:22:17.360 He is not.

00:22:17.960 No, he's not.

00:22:18.940 No, he's not.

00:22:20.200 Instead, he says, we're going to cripple people.

00:22:27.540 Now, I'm going to let you hear it from his own mouth, but there are other options.

00:22:34.740 Again, you know, I don't have my degree, which would, I think, make me blind to all of the real solutions and the real problems.

00:22:44.380 So I wear that as a badge of honor.

00:22:46.240 Um, but I don't have a degree in economics, but I think I have some solutions next.

00:22:53.060 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:22:55.560 Weather's heating up outside, time to pull the cover off the grill and get to work.

00:23:00.480 And inflation is about to turn the summer into a bummer.

00:23:07.340 It is.

00:23:08.100 It is.

00:23:08.800 Have you bought hamburger lately?

00:23:12.840 Yeah.

00:23:14.680 Yeah.

00:23:43.480 No.

00:23:44.320 No?

00:24:13.480 Think of the money we're saving.

00:24:14.720 You've got to use the promo code Glenn.

00:24:26.800 But what we're going to find is that growth in 2022 was positive but modest.

00:24:32.980 It was subdued.

00:24:34.440 So, you know, 1% around that level.

00:24:38.800 In terms of this year, most forecasts call for the U.S. economy to continue to grow but at a pretty subdued level.

00:24:44.900 So, growth of less than 1%, let's say.

00:24:47.980 But we would tell you that a recession is almost as likely as very slow growth.

00:24:54.680 So, that's a fact.

00:24:58.840 And I think that is partly because of us having raised rates quite a bit.

00:25:03.920 But this is what it takes to get inflation down.

00:25:07.460 To get inflation off of the high – we've had inflation at the highest level in 40 years.

00:25:13.480 To get inflation to come down, what we need is a period of slower growth so that the economy can cool off, so the labor market can cool off, so that wages can cool off.

00:25:24.260 And so, that's how inflation comes down.

00:25:26.080 That's the only way we know to bring inflation down.

00:25:28.060 No, it's not.

00:25:28.240 And it can be painful, but there is – we don't know of any painful, painless way for inflation to come down.

00:25:35.500 Okay.

00:25:36.020 So, first of all, let me ask you something.

00:25:40.900 How are these guys – I mean, what is Vladimir, you know, the fake Vladimir saying to get into these conversations?

00:25:50.560 And to have – he's just calling the central banks and like, listen, it's Vladimir, I want to know – like, tell me stuff that you will not tell your own people.

00:26:01.120 Yes, I'm just calling for confidential information that you want to keep on the QT as we set up a new world government.

00:26:09.260 What is – how – what is he asking?

00:26:14.100 What are they expecting to get on the phone?

00:26:16.060 So, yes, I just – central bank, I just want to know – I know you're not my central bank.

00:26:23.060 I have nothing to do with you, but I want to know, what is your plan?

00:26:31.020 What are they saying to get on the phone with these people?

00:26:35.920 It's incredible.

00:26:36.960 And that they keep falling for it, and this is – we've been talking a lot about AI.

00:26:41.440 This is just the beginning of this.

00:26:42.620 Oh, it's crazy.

00:26:43.160 Every single one of these people is going to fall for one of these calls.

00:26:45.540 It's crazy.

00:26:46.900 Right?

00:26:47.280 I mean, it's great.

00:26:49.260 I mean, because – I mean, it'll – no, it'll expose things, you know.

00:26:53.800 Great's not the word I would use for this.

00:26:55.440 Well, no, I think it's great because it'll expose things, and then nobody will do anything about it, which is a total change.

00:27:00.780 Oh, that kind of great.

00:27:01.620 Now, listen.

00:27:02.760 So, he says, it's an equal chance that we're going into a recession, and that's a fact.

00:27:10.960 Have you heard that fact said to the American people?

00:27:13.480 Not from him.

00:27:14.140 No, not from him.

00:27:15.220 Not from anyone in the government.

00:27:16.060 Not from him.

00:27:16.560 Okay.

00:27:17.260 So, we have 40-year highs of inflation.

00:27:21.660 Pretty bad.

00:27:22.680 That's a fact.

00:27:23.640 So, the only way to do it is to slow growth, slow down labor, and slow down wages.

00:27:35.980 So, let me get this right.

00:27:38.040 Let me use regular faithful speak.

00:27:41.320 I'm sitting there not having a Bud Light at the end of the bar, and this hoity-toity guy comes to me, and he says, well, we've got to slow growth.

00:27:51.580 We've got to slow down labor and wages.

00:27:54.660 Now, I think what he's saying here in bar talk is he's going to throw a wrench into our economy, and then he's going to get a bunch of us fired, and then the rest of us are going to have sucky wages, because that's the only way out.

00:28:18.320 Really?

00:28:19.200 Really?

00:28:20.100 No.

00:28:21.520 Here's another idea.

00:28:23.420 You could tell people to get their ass off the couch and go back to work, because this sugar daddy teat off of Uncle Sam ain't giving you any more milk.

00:28:38.820 How about that one?

00:28:41.080 That one.

00:28:41.520 That would be good.

00:28:42.860 We could have a return of labor, which, if labor returns, and we don't have to pay in blood for all that labor, maybe, maybe we could make more products.

00:29:00.540 Then we could also just shut the printing press off for the United States government.

00:29:05.440 Now, he's saying the only way, the only thing we can do is screw the American people.

00:29:10.980 That's what he's saying.

00:29:12.900 The only thing we can do is hurt the American people, because they don't matter anyway.

00:29:21.000 I mean, the last thing we want to do is piss off Congress.

00:29:24.280 We don't want to piss off the Senate.

00:29:25.800 And besides, we're all in it, because remember, I'm the head of the Federal Reserve Bank, a wholly owned private company made up of, well, dare I say it, banks like JPMorgan Chase.

00:29:44.140 Am I the only one?

00:29:48.680 Am I, I mean, it's like I'm standing in a, I feel like I'm standing in a crowd and everybody is going, wow, this is fantastic.

00:29:55.780 And I'm like, wait, no, but he's, no, he's saying he's going to put you out of business and he's going to hurt your, I know, but he's really got it under control.

00:30:05.520 No, he's the guy who caused all of these problems.

00:30:09.420 I know, but look at his hair, right?

00:30:12.220 And he's on the phone with Vladimir Zelensky.

00:30:14.920 That guy's great.

00:30:17.020 No, no, I think he's a criminal, too.

00:30:21.880 What a conspiracy theorist.

00:30:24.220 I just feel like I'm standing in a crowd going, would somebody wake up?

00:30:28.920 And you're not even seemingly that worried of the fact that a fake Vladimir Zelensky can get on the phone with Jerome Powell on a video call somehow with AI, which is right around the corner where we are now, you know, we talked to a woman who had not a famous person like Vladimir Zelensky, but her daughter, her daughter, who had like five sentences spoken on the Internet, converted into a hostage tape.

00:30:54.360 Uh, we're on the, we're on the corner of basically any voice being on the phone and you're not going to know if it's the, if it's real or not.

00:31:02.540 And we're going, this is, this is what we're dealing with.

00:31:05.680 The, the, the, not even our federal government can, can, can sift through this.

00:31:10.020 What happens, Glenn, when someone makes a legitimate, seemingly sounding credible threat of nuclear attack?

00:31:17.160 What do you mean?

00:31:18.060 Like, Vladimir Putin calls up.

00:31:19.920 Hey, Putin, uh, we've got Vladimir Zelensky on the phone.

00:31:23.540 Really?

00:31:24.360 Is it the real one?

00:31:26.420 Yes.

00:31:27.140 He said he was.

00:31:29.280 Right.

00:31:29.940 What happens when one of our idiotic government officials falls for something like that?

00:31:35.920 I mean, that's going to happen.

00:31:37.180 Maybe not to us, but somewhere.

00:31:39.580 Certainly this is, we are, man, we are so screwed.

00:31:42.700 We are so screwed.

00:31:44.320 That's why I keep getting it.

00:31:45.420 Every one of the ending of the conversations I have about this, these topics are just like, ah, we're so screwed.

00:31:50.020 That's how it always ends.

00:31:50.860 Oh, no, no.

00:31:52.220 You got to end it differently now.

00:31:54.020 Okay.

00:31:55.440 Instead of saying, I'm so screwed, or we're so screwed, you say this.

00:31:59.720 Wow, it's going to be an interesting time, isn't it?

00:32:01.960 I mean, it's going to be really, I'm fascinated to see how this is all going to work out.

00:32:06.780 Is this some sort of, uh, why would I say that?

00:32:09.840 It makes you feel better about it?

00:32:10.820 Yeah, it makes you feel a little better.

00:32:12.180 It makes it, it makes it, yeah.

00:32:14.100 Like you're a disinterested onlooker.

00:32:15.980 You're like, yeah.

00:32:17.020 You know?

00:32:17.240 Because really, in some ways you are.

00:32:19.420 It's up to Jesus now.

00:32:20.880 There's not much you can do anyway.

00:32:21.960 And so, I mean, we got to do our part, you know?

00:32:25.420 But, when Jesus comes, it'll be like, wow, that Powell cat.

00:32:30.800 That was an interesting thing to play out.

00:32:32.920 I can't wait to see how that works when he's standing at the foot of Jesus.

00:32:37.080 Uh, I don't think well.

00:32:39.220 But, who knows?

00:32:40.260 I'm not here to judge.

00:32:41.500 It'll be fascinating to watch it.

00:32:42.200 Yeah.

00:32:42.580 You know, to see what happens.

00:32:43.540 I'm not here to judge.

00:32:44.260 I'm, I mean, I'm here to, uh, point out the guy's a stinking liar.

00:32:50.120 And now that a fake Vladimir Zelensky, uh, bot, talked to him on the phone, we now have the evidence, you know, instead of it a conspiracy theory, we now know.

00:33:02.500 Well, unless it was the real Vladimir Zelensky and Jerome Powell was the AI.

00:33:12.560 Ah!

00:33:13.600 Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

00:33:16.300 I like this new approach of yours.

00:33:18.000 Because, I mean, I think, you know, think about this, like, you know, you're watching Breaking Bad.

00:33:21.460 His entire life is falling apart around him.

00:33:24.580 His, his potential drug, uh, empire is, he may go to prison.

00:33:29.120 He may be shot.

00:33:29.840 He may be killed.

00:33:30.520 And that whole time, this is pretty interesting to watch.

00:33:33.760 I wonder what's going to happen.

00:33:34.540 Like, that's how I reacted to that.

00:33:36.140 Exactly right.

00:33:36.800 What if I do that with real life?

00:33:38.160 Okay.

00:33:38.480 So, I was just watching, my son wanted to watch Valkyrie with me.

00:33:42.240 Oh.

00:33:42.580 Okay.

00:33:43.000 Classic.

00:33:43.600 Classic.

00:33:44.060 I love that movie.

00:33:44.380 Okay.

00:33:44.560 So, we watch Valkyrie together.

00:33:46.500 And, and the general is, you know, he's like, I don't know, is Hitler dead?

00:33:52.840 And, and I, and I'm, I'm at the couch and I'm like, who cares if he's dead?

00:33:57.460 Right.

00:33:58.120 Move!

00:33:58.660 Yeah.

00:33:58.900 Okay.

00:33:59.800 And I said to my son, I have to get up.

00:34:02.040 I have to get up.

00:34:02.900 I can't, you know, those movies.

00:34:04.020 And sometimes you get into that place where you're like, I can't watch this.

00:34:07.440 I can't watch this.

00:34:08.140 And you're like, it's a show.

00:34:09.660 It's a show.

00:34:11.160 That's the way you have to be.

00:34:12.640 We've been walking around our couch going, I can't watch this.

00:34:15.100 I can't watch this.

00:34:15.800 Oh my gosh.

00:34:16.360 These people are so stupid.

00:34:17.600 I can't watch this.

00:34:18.940 Yeah.

00:34:19.260 Just watch it.

00:34:20.380 Yeah.

00:34:20.540 Watch it.

00:34:21.000 Just watch it.

00:34:21.420 This is going to be really interesting to see how this plays out.

00:34:23.580 I bet I know how this ends.

00:34:24.880 Yeah.

00:34:25.360 Bet I know how this ends.

00:34:26.960 Because that's the thing that we really have to start doing.

00:34:29.420 You know how you're like, yeah, the kid wasn't seeing, the kid wasn't seeing just dead people.

00:34:38.000 Bruce Willis is dead too.

00:34:39.340 Let's be spoilers.

00:34:43.400 You know what I mean?

00:34:44.160 Yeah.

00:34:44.400 Let's be, everybody's like, I can't wait to see how that turns out.

00:34:47.640 I know how it turns out.

00:34:49.160 Okay?

00:34:50.140 I'm going to spoil it for you.

00:34:53.160 It's disturbing.

00:34:54.760 It's disturbing of a way to go through life.

00:34:57.980 But I think it's going to be better.

00:34:59.160 I think this new, non-attached, just disassociated approach to life will make regular life that much better.

00:35:10.280 That much better.

00:35:11.000 Now, that doesn't mean I don't take it seriously.

00:35:14.160 I certainly take it seriously.

00:35:15.880 I took Breaking Bad seriously.

00:35:17.200 I was very interested in what would happen.

00:35:18.800 I just didn't.

00:35:20.100 Since I'm guessing the ending, I'm not going to be in the one in the movie theater going,

00:35:26.080 and, oh my God, I'll be there going, yeah, I know, I know.

00:35:31.500 Crazy, isn't it?

00:35:32.960 By the way, I've got everything packed in my camper.

00:35:36.120 Bye-bye.

00:35:39.580 Including your Valkyrie DVD, which I will say, by the way, Valkyrie comes on TV, got to watch it.

00:35:44.700 Got to watch it.

00:35:45.020 I can't not watch it.

00:35:46.200 If it comes on, I have to watch it.

00:35:48.280 It's one of those movies, every time it pops up, I'm going through these channels, and I see Valkyrie, that's where I go.

00:35:53.740 And I think it was the first movie made when somebody who had a hand is missing a hand.

00:35:59.480 And the CGI, just the hand and the eye, great stuff.

00:36:02.280 Really?

00:36:02.820 Yeah.

00:36:03.240 You know, he'll pop his eye out, he'll turn his back, and you'll see him grab the glass eye, and he's like...

00:36:08.740 And he puts his eye back in, and then you're like, it's not the same color.

00:36:13.680 Did you notice that?

00:36:14.620 Not the same color.

00:36:15.720 That's the kind of stuff that led us to this Vladimir Selinsky call.

00:36:20.580 All right, back in just a second.

00:36:21.900 You take a moment every now and then, peek out of the blinds, and go, gee, how's this movie going to end?

00:36:29.140 You might want to ready the camper.

00:36:31.600 I'm just saying.

00:36:33.160 Because there's going to be...

00:36:34.680 It'll be like, at the end of this movie, it'll be like, fire!

00:36:38.520 And everybody will stampede each other, but you will be driving away in your camper.

00:36:43.800 Okay?

00:36:44.060 Because you're prepared.

00:36:45.440 You know how this ends.

00:36:46.780 Get your three-month emergency food kit, which will last 25 years in storage.

00:36:54.340 25 years.

00:36:55.960 Oh, that's hopeful thinking.

00:36:57.820 Three-month emergency food kit.

00:36:59.660 You can get it now.

00:37:01.200 And survival gear.

00:37:02.720 They've got about $200 worth of survival gear that goes with each box.

00:37:06.740 You're going to get that free at mypatriotsupply.com right now.

00:37:11.560 You also get free shipping, and it comes in unmarked boxes.

00:37:15.700 I'm having them mark mine trans-literature, because I know that will be delivered.

00:37:22.880 Now, I'll have to pick it up at the school, but I know I'll get it.

00:37:27.820 Emergency food right now and survival gear worth over $200.

00:37:32.920 Mypatriotsupply.com.

00:37:34.400 That's mypatriotsupply.com.

00:37:36.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:57.620 Welcome to the program.

00:38:00.040 So, there was some leaked footage.

00:38:02.980 What?

00:38:03.400 From Fox News.

00:38:05.200 Yeah.

00:38:05.560 Someone did it.

00:38:06.740 I'll tell you that.

00:38:07.660 Yeah, someone did do it.

00:38:09.040 Yeah.

00:38:09.820 But definitely not anybody in the PR department of Fox News.

00:38:14.020 No, absolutely not.

00:38:14.400 They wouldn't do that.

00:38:15.360 Why would they do that, Stu?

00:38:16.980 It's hurting their own product.

00:38:18.480 Right.

00:38:19.080 Because Tucker was taking some shots at Fox Nation, saying he didn't like the way the

00:38:22.860 website worked.

00:38:23.900 While he was there.

00:38:25.180 While he was there.

00:38:25.900 And then some, I guess, international spy broke in and took the footage from inside of

00:38:33.600 Fox News from one of their cameras.

00:38:35.340 Yeah.

00:38:35.620 And leaked it to Media Matters.

00:38:37.280 An organization which they supposedly have a bad relationship with, you know?

00:38:41.820 Boy, they wouldn't do that.

00:38:42.780 Because they wouldn't.

00:38:43.740 Media Matters is one of these places that takes shots at Fox News.

00:38:47.320 It's almost, some would say it almost sounds like they just almost work together to try

00:38:52.240 to sink personnel.

00:38:53.240 But I'm not saying that.

00:38:54.240 No, of course not.

00:38:55.460 That's crazy.

00:38:56.060 Crazy.

00:38:56.680 Crazy.

00:38:57.260 You know what?

00:38:57.980 It'll be interesting to see how that plays out.

00:38:59.860 Yeah.

00:39:02.760 It is.

00:39:03.560 It's going to be interesting.

00:39:04.540 It's going to be interesting.

00:39:05.140 And I think they're all going to find out.

00:39:06.580 I think they're all going to find out.

00:39:08.280 So this is the bad stuff that was just somehow or another leaked.

00:39:13.320 But definitely not from Fox News.

00:39:15.180 No.

00:39:15.700 This is Tucker Carlson at his worst.

00:39:19.660 At his worst.

00:39:20.240 You're going to hate him.

00:39:21.100 You're going to hate him.

00:39:21.800 Oh, man.

00:39:22.520 Listen to this.

00:39:25.740 You have it?

00:39:27.280 What do you mean we don't have it?

00:39:30.140 Were we not on the leak list?

00:39:32.400 No, man.

00:39:33.160 Were we really not on the leak list?

00:39:35.740 All right.

00:39:36.260 Okay.

00:39:36.720 Well, here.

00:39:37.360 I've got it.

00:39:38.040 You ready?

00:39:38.660 Here it is.

00:39:39.720 Here we go.

00:39:40.400 Is my computer open?

00:39:41.800 Here it is.

00:39:42.140 I don't want to be a slave to Fox Nation, which I don't think that many people watch

00:39:45.220 anyway.

00:39:47.260 We're going to, because I, you know, I'm like a representative of the American media.

00:39:51.660 Now, speaking to an exile in Romania and welcoming him back into the brotherhood of journalists.

00:39:59.520 Yeah.

00:40:00.220 It would help us out if you wore a sweater, though, because we asked him not to wear a suit.

00:40:03.860 Like, he was panicking about it.

00:40:05.200 So you don't have to.

00:40:06.640 Tucker's going to be looking casual.

00:40:08.560 That's how our show looks.

00:40:13.760 Is that okay?

00:40:20.120 I mean, this is airing on the nighttime show, and I want it to look official.

00:40:24.960 I don't want it to be like bro talk.

00:40:26.900 And I, and I, you know what I mean?

00:40:29.980 Yeah, but the majority of it, like if we go like 45 minutes, it's going to be for Fox

00:40:34.080 Nation.

00:40:34.300 But nobody's going to watch it on Fox Nation.

00:40:36.420 Nobody watches Fox Nation because the site sucks.

00:40:39.300 So I'd really like to just put the dump the whole thing on YouTube.

00:40:43.800 But anyway, that's just my view.

00:40:46.580 That's just my view.

00:40:47.640 I love that line.

00:40:47.960 I'm just frustrated with, it's hard to use that site.

00:40:51.820 I don't know why they're not fixing it.

00:40:53.840 It's driving me insane.

00:40:55.060 And they're like making like lifetime movies, but they don't, they don't work on the infrastructure

00:40:59.560 of the site.

00:41:00.160 Like what?

00:41:01.260 It's crazy.

00:41:02.160 And it drives me crazy because it's like, we're doing all this extra work and no one

00:41:05.760 can find it.

00:41:06.520 It's unbelievable.

00:41:08.240 I don't even understand why this is supposed to be negative.

00:41:12.620 Why is this negative on him?

00:41:14.160 This is not negative on him at all.

00:41:15.720 I mean, he's obviously frustrated, but he's still being respectful and he doesn't want

00:41:20.040 to do it.

00:41:21.040 I mean, he's right.

00:41:21.980 His audience is 50 times, 100 times the size on the television show.

00:41:25.860 That should be the priority.

00:41:26.880 Hey, listen, we just want you guys to, you should wear a sweater.

00:41:31.740 Shut up about what I'm wearing.

00:41:34.700 Good heavens.

00:41:35.880 The Glenn Beck program.

00:41:39.780 There are so many American giants amongst us.

00:41:42.960 One of them is our mothers.

00:41:44.860 So much.

00:41:46.320 Are you calling my mom fat, Stu?

00:41:48.060 Is that what you're saying?

00:41:48.700 I didn't even say anything.

00:41:50.100 Gosh, I heard it.

00:41:51.060 I heard it.

00:41:51.540 Did you hear it, America?

00:41:53.080 So much of the goodness in all of us comes from our mothers.

00:41:56.560 I didn't say anything, but I will say this.

00:41:58.620 I am wearing an American giant hoodie right now.

00:42:01.000 They're great, aren't they?

00:42:02.040 Awesome.

00:42:02.640 I love these things.

00:42:03.520 These were, look at the zipper on that thing.

00:42:05.300 Oh, it's like, it's just like all real.

00:42:07.260 You could tell the quality of it the second you put it.

00:42:09.140 Because I have a lot of hoodies.

00:42:10.000 You could tell the difference in quality with this thing.

00:42:12.540 It's awesome.

00:42:13.100 So American giant, they've got a bunch of great clothing.

00:42:17.480 And mom is, Mother's Day is right around the corner.

00:42:21.300 She's got, she's got needs.

00:42:24.380 Okay.

00:42:24.840 She has needs.

00:42:26.080 Maybe it's a hoodie.

00:42:27.280 Maybe it's a new blouse.

00:42:28.380 I don't know.

00:42:28.840 But check out American giant.

00:42:30.580 Go to American-giant.com slash Glenn.

00:42:33.780 That's American-giant.com slash Glenn.

00:43:03.780 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:17.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:24.460 Hello, America.

00:43:26.020 I, I'm going to, I've got, I've got to, uh, well, I'm going to lead with a story about

00:43:37.160 the sex change clinic in Philadelphia and, uh, the information they're providing students.

00:43:44.280 But I, you're going to think I'm making part of it up, but I, in this world, you can't,

00:43:52.560 you know, I mean, you can't write comedy anymore because it writes itself.

00:43:57.060 We begin there in 60 seconds.

00:43:59.700 When you go to the gun range, you mean business.

00:44:02.720 I mean, it is fun blowing holes in paper targets.

00:44:06.140 Uh, but the cost of ammunition, every time, every time I pull the trigger, I'm like, ow,

00:44:10.820 that one hurts.

00:44:11.860 Ow, that one hurts.

00:44:13.420 Uh, training yourself to become better and, and better every shot you take is really important.

00:44:20.040 You have to have the ability to defend yourself and your family, should you ever need to do

00:44:24.880 that.

00:44:25.580 But whose money is, uh, is going to be used to just pay for the ammunition, let alone a

00:44:31.540 coach.

00:44:32.120 You don't have to use ammunition and you don't have to use a coach.

00:44:36.460 You can use ammunition if you want with Mantis X, but you don't have to.

00:44:41.920 And this is not target practice per se.

00:44:45.140 It doesn't give you a target.

00:44:46.240 You can aim at, you know, if I'm sitting here in the room, I can aim at the clock or the

00:44:51.240 TV or the camera or, well, I wouldn't aim at, well, I don't want to say I wouldn't aim

00:44:58.680 at, I wouldn't aim at Stu.

00:45:00.840 Okay.

00:45:02.200 Um, and, uh, and with Mantis X, every time you pull that trigger, whether it's loaded or

00:45:08.860 unloaded, it tracks exactly what your hand and your finger is doing.

00:45:13.980 So you improve within 20 minutes and I can verify it.

00:45:19.000 I can't believe how much more accurate I was after 20 minutes.

00:45:23.260 Start improving today.

00:45:25.660 Use Mantis X.com.

00:45:27.800 Save money, save ammunition and get better.

00:45:30.720 Mantis X.com.

00:45:33.020 So, uh, Stu.

00:45:39.220 Yes, Glenn.

00:45:40.120 The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

00:45:41.880 Mm-hmm.

00:45:42.720 The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

00:45:45.220 Helping children.

00:45:46.340 That's what the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia does.

00:45:49.200 What else would it do?

00:45:50.140 Well, they've got a gender clinic that also offers medical interventions for kids as young

00:45:55.280 as eight, uh, in addition to the clinic providing, uh, children with devastating puberty blockers.

00:46:03.140 They also, uh, have previously advocated for confused little girls to have their healthy

00:46:09.120 breasts cut off, uh, and for other varieties of, uh, mutilation.

00:46:14.220 Mm.

00:46:14.780 Okay.

00:46:14.980 In recent years, the clinic has gone beyond exploiting and, uh, making things worse with

00:46:21.420 the insecurities of minors.

00:46:23.320 Uh, they're now training elementary teachers to do likewise.

00:46:29.520 Now, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

00:46:34.940 I'm, I'm, I'm just, I'm reading what the news is saying.

00:46:41.260 And as I'm reading it, I'm thinking the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia should not use this

00:46:49.580 acronym when we're talking about gender mutilation.

00:46:54.800 The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, otherwise known as CHOP.

00:47:03.500 That's, that's suboptimal.

00:47:05.820 Suboptimal.

00:47:06.520 That's suboptimal.

00:47:07.380 The CHOP gender clinic, uh, provides guidance to educators in Pennsylvania and, uh, Council

00:47:17.140 Rock school districts, uh, in 2019 and 2021 on how to facilitate kids as young as kindergartners

00:47:23.280 changing their gender, according to a new report, uh, on CHOP.

00:47:29.800 You know, again, well, actually I am a doctor, uh, and, uh, so I can say it, I can say it

00:47:41.040 with great authority.

00:47:42.440 If you really, you want to be taken seriously, um, and you want to be known as a non-butchering

00:47:50.060 hospital, which you clearly are with a gender mutilation here.

00:47:55.000 You might want to stay away from the acronym of CHOP.

00:48:00.680 Same.

00:48:01.400 It does seem like a bad decision.

00:48:03.540 A little bit.

00:48:04.800 A little bit.

00:48:05.760 Now, uh, I just, I want to understand the bigotry here.

00:48:10.280 I do.

00:48:11.020 I want to understand the bigotry.

00:48:12.920 There is a Delaware County Councilman, Ryan Webb.

00:48:15.940 And, uh, he's, he's redefining his own life.

00:48:21.020 He's coloring outside the lines.

00:48:22.680 You know what I'm saying?

00:48:23.960 Uh, he has announced on Facebook after much consideration, I have decided to come out and

00:48:30.940 finally feel comfortable announcing my true authentic self.

00:48:34.480 It is with great relief that I announced to everyone that I identify as a woman and not

00:48:41.960 just any woman, but a woman of color as well.

00:48:47.180 Furthermore, I guess this would make me gay and lesbian since I am attracted to women,

00:48:55.780 but I'm excited to bring some diversity to the city council or the county council until

00:49:01.280 today, we didn't have any females of color or LGBTQIAPC plus on the council.

00:49:08.020 And now, wait, what were the letters?

00:49:09.920 We do.

00:49:12.820 LGBTQIAPC plus.

00:49:14.080 Oh my gosh.

00:49:14.880 Yeah.

00:49:15.140 Cause I feel bad.

00:49:15.780 Cause I always just say LGBTQIAPC plus.

00:49:18.900 Yeah.

00:49:19.280 What's a C?

00:49:20.860 Uh, maybe it should be LGBTQIAPOC plus.

00:49:29.460 Not sure.

00:49:30.340 Cause it was P.

00:49:31.260 Cause what's the P?

00:49:33.380 I don't know what a P.

00:49:34.320 What's the P?

00:49:35.600 What's the P?

00:49:36.600 This is fascinating.

00:49:37.720 Wait, there's more acronym.

00:49:40.060 It could very well be that.

00:49:41.580 Maybe it's just that.

00:49:42.560 Pansexual.

00:49:43.000 Okay.

00:49:43.180 We're getting pansexual.

00:49:44.200 Pansexual.

00:49:44.700 What's the C?

00:49:46.400 Don't say it.

00:49:48.080 Don't say the C word.

00:49:49.520 Don't say the C word.

00:49:50.300 Boys and girls.

00:49:50.700 That's always a good lesson.

00:49:51.700 All right.

00:49:52.020 Anyway.

00:49:53.080 Uh, so to avoid confusion, everyone can still address me as Ryan or as council.

00:50:00.320 Uh, I also retain my preferred pronouns of he slash him.

00:50:06.400 However, this will in no way diminish my true identity as a woman of color.

00:50:11.040 I'm excited to be a vocal partner of the LGBTQIAPC plus movement.

00:50:19.340 What's this?

00:50:20.400 Who I, I don't, I'm, I'm not down with it, Holmes.

00:50:24.020 Maybe, should I ask a chat GPT?

00:50:26.120 Yeah, I'll ask chat GPT.

00:50:27.660 What is the C in LGBTQIAPC plus?

00:50:38.860 Okay.

00:50:39.500 Okay.

00:50:40.900 Uh, chat GPT is thinking.

00:50:42.840 Okay.

00:50:43.240 He's finally says.

00:50:44.440 Chat GPT is disgusted.

00:50:45.700 No, uh, cisgender.

00:50:47.360 That's us.

00:50:48.560 The boring ones.

00:50:50.300 We got a letter?

00:50:51.060 Wow.

00:50:51.560 We got a letter.

00:50:52.040 We got a letter now?

00:50:52.620 I don't think that's an official letter.

00:50:53.760 No, that can't.

00:50:54.380 I don't think that's an official letter.

00:50:55.920 They say, chat GPT says the C stands for cisgender, and that's a term to describe individuals

00:51:00.760 who gender identity matches their sex assigned at birth.

00:51:04.280 Oh, it's doing the whole thing for me.

00:51:05.500 Here we go.

00:51:06.420 Uh, lesbian, gay, bisexual.

00:51:07.660 That would be N.

00:51:08.600 What?

00:51:09.020 Wouldn't that be N?

00:51:10.580 No.

00:51:11.740 I hate to use the N word.

00:51:12.860 Don't use the N word on the air.

00:51:15.220 Don't use the N word on the air.

00:51:16.500 I know that's something you want to do.

00:51:17.380 Well, I don't want to say it.

00:51:18.260 Okay.

00:51:18.500 Turn off your microphone.

00:51:19.540 Okay.

00:51:19.640 I just want to check.

00:51:20.540 Just, uh, normal.

00:51:23.440 Oh, gee.

00:51:24.060 I know.

00:51:24.500 I'm sorry.

00:51:25.080 Hang on.

00:51:25.320 That came through.

00:51:26.160 People could hear it.

00:51:27.760 Dump that.

00:51:28.280 Normal.

00:51:28.740 Dump that.

00:51:29.080 What do you think?

00:51:29.760 Is that the N?

00:51:30.620 Is that the N?

00:51:32.140 I don't know.

00:51:33.040 I don't know.

00:51:33.520 I don't know.

00:51:33.860 I don't know.

00:51:34.120 Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning, which again is two separate

00:51:39.460 Qs.

00:51:39.980 That's why you have LGBTQQ.

00:51:42.900 Then you have I, intersex, A, asexual, or ally, which is a real, I mean, you're really

00:51:50.840 reaching there.

00:51:51.520 Uh, then P is now pansexual or polyamorous, and C is cisgender.

00:51:59.160 The plus sign represents other identities that may not explicitly be included in the

00:52:03.860 acronym, such as demisexual, genderqueer, genderfluid, and others.

00:52:11.180 It emphasizes inclusivity, acknowledges the diversity within the community.

00:52:15.940 That is great.

00:52:16.480 Why not call it the plus community then?

00:52:19.420 Why do you need the other ones if you have a plus?

00:52:22.300 Plus is getting everything.

00:52:23.420 Just call it the plus community.

00:52:24.900 Stop your bigoted language.

00:52:27.460 I am trying to tell you about Delaware County Councilman Ryan Webb, who is now a black woman.

00:52:35.020 Now, is he a woman of color?

00:52:37.000 Is he a white man in reality?

00:52:40.040 In reality?

00:52:40.660 I'm sorry.

00:52:41.420 Oh, no.

00:52:42.320 I've done it.

00:52:42.880 I'm not going to deadname him.

00:52:44.680 I'm saying in the past.

00:52:45.500 I'm sorry, in the past.

00:52:46.500 That's what I meant to say.

00:52:47.120 In the reality of the past.

00:52:48.620 I don't know.

00:52:49.540 There is any reality of the past.

00:52:52.040 Was he, at one point, a white male?

00:52:55.400 Yes.

00:52:56.160 So now he's now changed.

00:52:57.500 He is a woman of color that is also a lesbian.

00:53:02.140 Can I have a moment that you've had many times on the air, which it goes back to the Monica Lewinsky days when you said we were having the argument with the left and they were saying, oh, he didn't do that with Monica Lewinsky.

00:53:16.160 And we're saying, well, I think he did.

00:53:17.600 And they say, well, no, he didn't.

00:53:19.360 And we say, yes, he did.

00:53:20.220 No, he didn't.

00:53:20.700 Yes, he did.

00:53:21.080 And we go back and forth.

00:53:21.800 And you said at the time, what we needed to ask was, let's say he did do it.

00:53:27.360 Will it be wrong?

00:53:28.620 Does it matter?

00:53:29.440 Does it matter?

00:53:30.020 Does it matter?

00:53:30.760 Does it matter?

00:53:31.180 If he did do it, let's not argue about whether he did it.

00:53:33.260 Right.

00:53:33.500 If he did do it, does it matter?

00:53:35.540 That's a good question.

00:53:36.860 Because what wound up happening is he did do it.

00:53:39.280 And then they acted like it didn't matter.

00:53:41.400 After arguing for six months that he definitely didn't do it.

00:53:45.720 Right.

00:53:46.360 So let me ask you this.

00:53:47.400 Can we have one of these moments here together?

00:53:49.200 Okay.

00:53:49.480 As a family.

00:53:50.200 Together.

00:53:50.420 Okay.

00:53:50.880 We're a family.

00:53:51.460 Should we have a radio family?

00:53:52.740 No, I'd rather not have any physical contact.

00:53:56.880 Look, you might say Dylan Mulvaney is a woman.

00:54:03.760 Okay.

00:54:04.280 You might say that.

00:54:05.680 I'm talking to the people on the other side of this.

00:54:07.420 Yeah.

00:54:07.580 We might say, hey, no, it's a dude.

00:54:09.080 Right.

00:54:09.400 And you're saying, no, it's a chick.

00:54:11.280 Right.

00:54:11.700 No, it's a dude.

00:54:12.380 It's a chick.

00:54:12.900 It's a dude and a chick.

00:54:14.000 My thing here is, though, when, when, don't argue whether this is going to happen.

00:54:20.680 Right.

00:54:21.020 But when Dylan Mulvaney comes out, not just as a woman, but as a teenage girl, when he

00:54:29.540 announces he is a teenage girl, are you going to accept it?

00:54:35.360 Answer before he says it, because it's coming.

00:54:38.700 But answer before he says it.

00:54:41.980 Is he a teenager?

00:54:44.240 Yes.

00:54:45.560 Yes.

00:54:46.020 Yes, he is.

00:54:46.360 Do you think they're going to say yes?

00:54:47.520 Oh, yeah.

00:54:48.420 Because I think now, before he says it, they'll say, of course, he's not going to do that.

00:54:51.680 That's ridiculous.

00:54:52.140 Of course.

00:54:52.700 That's absurd.

00:54:53.660 That's ridiculous.

00:54:54.800 That's not ridiculous.

00:54:55.860 That's one of the more sane things that happen in the media.

00:54:58.980 When it happens, it'll be like, well, that makes sense.

00:55:01.540 They will accept it.

00:55:02.220 He's like, girl power.

00:55:04.140 Hi, girl power.

00:55:04.960 Because he's acting as if he's a teenage girl.

00:55:07.160 He's not a woman.

00:55:09.460 He's a girl.

00:55:10.880 That's what he always says.

00:55:12.140 I'm a girl.

00:55:13.080 Right.

00:55:13.720 And at some point, he will manufacture a new age.

00:55:19.300 Will you accept it?

00:55:21.440 I want to know now, not then, when all of a sudden you say it's hateful.

00:55:26.260 I want to know now, do you accept his 13-year-old age?

00:55:31.120 Do you accept it?

00:55:32.100 Of course you will.

00:55:33.600 Age is nothing but a construct.

00:55:38.600 It's so, this is so bad.

00:55:40.920 This is so, we are so screwed.

00:55:42.600 Can I go, please.

00:55:43.520 Let me ask chat GBT a way to get out of this.

00:55:45.660 Can I please tell you about the glass ceiling that Ryan Webb,

00:55:50.840 is just broken?

00:55:51.460 I'm sorry, you're right.

00:55:52.160 We're back on the Ryan Webb thing, which is, their name is still Ryan?

00:55:57.280 Still Ryan, and he identifies as him, her.

00:55:59.940 Him, her.

00:56:00.440 Okay.

00:56:00.660 Okay.

00:56:01.180 Wait, him, her?

00:56:02.220 Both?

00:56:02.540 No, I'm sorry.

00:56:03.240 Him, he.

00:56:03.820 Wait, that's even more confusing.

00:56:04.980 Yeah, all right.

00:56:05.820 Okay.

00:56:06.760 And his message was, I am so glad that this is now possible,

00:56:16.020 so anyone can be anything or anyone they want.

00:56:20.180 Who knows how far we can take things?

00:56:23.100 I'm honored to be the one that shatters the glass ceiling.

00:56:26.600 Hashtag girl power.

00:56:28.960 Now, there is someone also on the council, Charlize, Charlene Jamison.

00:56:40.060 Now, Charlize is a biological male, but she was reading this, and she said,

00:56:50.680 I think he's making fun of this whole situation.

00:56:58.580 Oh, wow.

00:57:00.340 And she said, he has a history of making transphobic comments.

00:57:05.780 Oh, no.

00:57:06.320 Which I don't know.

00:57:07.420 And she said, it's easy for me to see through his bigotry.

00:57:10.700 Oh, wow.

00:57:11.060 So, they don't believe his identification?

00:57:15.720 No.

00:57:16.360 Wait a minute.

00:57:17.300 No, no, no.

00:57:17.640 But the only thing required is for him to say it.

00:57:20.620 Yeah.

00:57:21.160 Oh, Charlize is a beautiful woman.

00:57:24.120 Look at her.

00:57:25.160 Look at her.

00:57:26.160 There she is.

00:57:27.660 That's Charlize.

00:57:28.800 Yeah, she looks great.

00:57:29.980 And she is one good-looking woman.

00:57:34.220 There you go.

00:57:35.000 I've seen worse.

00:57:36.300 I've seen worse.

00:57:37.120 For sure.

00:57:37.660 You know, men that are pretending to be women.

00:57:40.080 Mm-hmm.

00:57:40.360 Um, but as a guy goes, she's a good-looking woman.

00:57:45.440 There you go.

00:57:45.960 You know?

00:57:46.300 Mm-hmm.

00:57:46.980 Uh.

00:57:47.420 So, you think, potentially.

00:57:49.460 So, yeah.

00:57:50.560 So, Charlize, she has a spider sense.

00:57:52.720 She knows.

00:57:53.540 And I think what he's saying is, this is ridiculously stupid.

00:58:01.240 And go ahead.

00:58:03.600 Go ahead.

00:58:05.240 Deny me my moment.

00:58:08.520 Wow.

00:58:08.840 How can you deny me my moment if whatever I say has got to go?

00:58:15.940 And I, you're questioning his internal journey?

00:58:20.100 Like, you're not allowed to do that.

00:58:22.140 Amen.

00:58:23.460 My understanding was the only time you were able to deny someone saying they were LGBTQQIA2 plus is when they commit a mass shooting.

00:58:30.500 Then, immediately, you can say, oh, they're not real.

00:58:34.620 They're not real in this community.

00:58:37.540 They're not really transgendered.

00:58:39.360 You're allowed to say it then.

00:58:40.720 But I thought that was the only time.

00:58:42.660 So far, we don't know if Ryan, he might have killed some children.

00:58:47.200 Okay.

00:58:47.380 He might have killed some children.

00:58:48.740 Then we can question it.

00:58:49.780 Until then, we cannot question it.

00:58:51.840 Now, I do have one more question on this topic.

00:58:56.560 And a friend of mine gave it to me yesterday and said, and I thought, I've not thought that.

00:59:03.320 I have not had that question posed to me.

00:59:10.200 Wow.

00:59:10.520 This is fascinating.

00:59:11.360 There's been a lot of questions asked.

00:59:12.440 There's been a lot of questions.

00:59:14.000 I mean, there's a Q.

00:59:15.260 A Q?

00:59:15.660 There's two Qs.

00:59:16.400 There's two Qs.

00:59:17.920 Okay.

00:59:18.180 Hey, I was bigoted, bigoted, didn't question.

00:59:23.060 I'm going to, and I think you're going to like it.

00:59:26.600 And if you're a parent at a school that is doing drag shows, I think you're really going

00:59:32.420 to like this question.

00:59:33.500 Okay.

00:59:33.860 All right.

00:59:34.320 We'll do that in 60 seconds.

00:59:35.740 Wow.

00:59:36.360 No matter how smart your dog is, I promise you, he isn't smart enough to make a healthy

00:59:40.820 salad.

00:59:41.300 He's not.

00:59:42.300 And it's not the opposable thumbs thing.

00:59:44.500 No, it's not.

00:59:45.420 He can't make a salad.

00:59:47.440 But they'll sniff at salads and they'll be like, ick.

00:59:51.100 But you know, inside he wants a salad.

00:59:54.420 Who wants a salad?

00:59:55.400 Say that to your dog right now.

00:59:56.720 Get your dog next to the radio.

00:59:58.000 Let me just say, who wants a salad?

00:59:59.820 You want a salad?

01:00:01.160 You want a salad?

01:00:02.040 You're a salad eating dog.

01:00:03.760 Look at his tail go.

01:00:05.660 Now he's either stupid, which he's not, or he knows that I should be eating a salad.

01:00:13.500 But we have to trick them.

01:00:15.140 So that's why we have Rough Greens.

01:00:19.160 Rough Greens.

01:00:19.960 It's like a salad for people who claim to hate salads.

01:00:27.540 My wife sprinkles it on my food, but that's a different story.

01:01:05.780 Station ID.

01:01:11.620 All right.

01:01:14.300 Let's do it.

01:01:15.020 I want you to think this through with me, okay?

01:01:21.000 What is the point of having drag shows in classrooms?

01:01:27.360 Don't answer your first answer.

01:01:29.720 Don't just knee-jerk answer like,

01:01:31.700 there is no except for sexualizing our children and preying on them.

01:01:36.680 Okay.

01:01:36.860 Don't give me that bigoted stuff.

01:01:39.040 What's the reason to have drag shows in schools?

01:01:44.220 Shelter from the weather.

01:01:45.740 No.

01:01:46.200 No?

01:01:46.580 No.

01:01:47.120 Okay.

01:01:47.620 No.

01:01:48.300 I'm out of reasons.

01:01:50.120 That was my only guess.

01:01:51.760 Two, make your kids comfortable exploring their sexuality.

01:01:57.260 Oh, well, see, that's not a goal of mine.

01:02:00.320 No, I'm not asking for you because you're a bigot.

01:02:03.060 We already established that.

01:02:04.620 I don't need my children to explore.

01:02:06.200 Yeah, whatever.

01:02:07.100 That's for adults.

01:02:08.420 Thank you, caveman, for showing up.

01:02:10.200 Got it.

01:02:10.620 Try to live in the day.

01:02:11.940 Okay, sorry.

01:02:12.380 Okay.

01:02:13.220 You want your children to explore their sexuality and be comfortable with it.

01:02:18.680 Right?

01:02:19.240 Mm-hmm.

01:02:19.680 Right.

01:02:20.380 Mm-mm.

01:02:21.400 Now, we're leaving something out of that.

01:02:29.640 I would like to know, and I would help you set this up.

01:02:35.860 I would like to know if there's somebody who's having this problem in school and they want to go to a school board meeting surrounded by really extremely hot Playboy bunnies and demand equal time so your kids can also enjoy a nice striptease from beautiful hot women.

01:03:01.540 Mm-hmm.

01:03:02.060 And then we can bring the Chippendales in and they can dance, but they dance with the Playboy bunnies.

01:03:11.500 And they gyrate on each other in a cisgender sort of way.

01:03:18.240 So they can explore the potential, however unlikely, that they might be straight.

01:03:23.800 Yeah.

01:03:24.240 I mean, it's probably a one in a million chance.

01:03:26.440 Oh, my gosh.

01:03:27.220 But they should, they're looking to explore.

01:03:28.920 A hundred and forty-seven percent of our population is transgender or gay.

01:03:34.580 And that's new.

01:03:35.140 That's a new study.

01:03:35.780 It's a new study that's just out.

01:03:37.260 A new study.

01:03:37.280 A hundred forty-seven percent of all people are gay.

01:03:40.980 In classrooms today.

01:03:42.180 Or LG or B or T or Q or Q or Q or Q or I or A or two or plus.

01:03:46.560 And I'm not even counting the two-spirited people.

01:03:49.400 I'm not even counting those.

01:03:50.280 And that's a problem.

01:03:50.980 We need to talk about that off the air.

01:03:52.200 I got HR coming in.

01:03:53.220 Oh, I'm sorry.

01:03:53.800 I'm here in a minute.

01:03:54.240 I'm sorry.

01:03:54.420 I'm working on it.

01:03:55.320 I'm trying to be more open-minded.

01:03:56.880 Hey, Playboy bunnies and stripper poles, you go ahead.

01:04:02.080 Take that one to the Department of Edge and just ask them,

01:04:05.700 hey, we're just trying to make sure they're exploring their sexuality.

01:04:09.180 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:04:09.760 Don't tempt them, please.

01:04:12.200 Oh, I'm tempted to do it.

01:04:17.620 I'm tempted to do it.

01:04:19.880 Relief Factor.

01:04:21.360 Let me ask you something.

01:04:23.220 You in pain?

01:04:25.780 Constant pain?

01:04:27.480 You hate it?

01:04:29.180 You listen to the show every day?

01:04:31.560 When are you going to buy this stinking stuff so I can stop talking about this stinking stuff?

01:04:36.180 You know what I'm saying?

01:04:37.520 I mean, it's a two-way street here.

01:04:40.220 You want me to shut up about Relief Factor?

01:04:42.600 Okay, fine.

01:04:44.140 Then buy it, get out of pain, and I'll stop talking about it.

01:04:48.760 It's just that it's a two-way street, pal.

01:04:51.440 Two-way street.

01:04:52.140 You're in pain.

01:04:53.920 There is something you can do to fight it.

01:04:56.320 Seventy percent of the people who try it go on to order more.

01:04:59.900 So when 100% of this audience tries this and 30% write to me and go, stuff sucks, it didn't work, and the rest of you all say, it worked for me, we can move on with our lives.

01:05:13.620 Until that time, ReliefFactor.com.

01:05:30.020 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:05:57.940 The owner of a Bloomington, Indiana dive bar who voiced support for Bud Light and threatened to remove customers for speaking out against Bud Light.

01:06:12.340 Bud Light is now on Facebook saying, we appreciate your support because I kicked all these hateful bigots out.

01:06:21.720 And if you want to stop by and have a beer, please do.

01:06:25.760 Because he's kind of following in the footsteps of Bud Light.

01:06:33.580 And, yeah, he's lost his patrons because he said they spewed bigotry and hatred regarding Bud Light's advertising partnership with Dylan Mulvaney.

01:06:45.280 And, you know, so the bar is still celebrating the 365 days of girlhood of Dylan Mulvaney.

01:06:54.960 And I thought that already passed.

01:06:56.620 Well, I don't know, Stu.

01:06:59.220 Does it ever pass?

01:07:01.060 Does it ever pass?

01:07:01.680 I don't know.

01:07:02.300 I don't know what the rules are.

01:07:03.280 It's very difficult to keep track of.

01:07:04.600 So he's having a hard time.

01:07:07.180 And coincidentally, in complete coincidence, so is Anheuser-Busch.

01:07:12.100 Yeah.

01:07:12.660 No, no kidding.

01:07:13.560 Yeah.

01:07:13.860 Now, I saw this story today from the Washington Examiner.

01:07:17.660 Anheuser-Busch employs ex-GOP aides for damage control, and they've hired Sean McClain, and that's what, you know, a legislative director for Senator Ted Cruz, and then another person that was also with Kelly Ayotte from New Hampshire.

01:07:45.400 She's also a Republican, and they're working now for Bud Light, trying to, you know, get things back.

01:07:52.720 Bud Light, may I just say, I didn't really have to even go into this story at all.

01:07:58.780 When I saw that you hired two ex-GOP aides for damage control, I thought, boy, you still don't get it.

01:08:08.620 It's about beer, not about politics.

01:08:13.560 Okay?

01:08:13.700 I don't, pull the horse out, okay?

01:08:18.540 Just do the horse thing, okay?

01:08:19.920 It's too late now.

01:08:20.960 You've destroyed the Clydesdale horses.

01:08:23.940 But pull them out, you know?

01:08:25.880 But they can't give up, right?

01:08:27.160 They're not going to just like, oh, let's fold the company.

01:08:28.980 We did this.

01:08:29.620 So you go to?

01:08:31.420 Ted Cruz aid, right?

01:08:33.000 Someone who probably understands conservatives.

01:08:35.300 For what?

01:08:35.860 For what?

01:08:36.320 For what?

01:08:37.140 How do we apologize for this appropriately, essentially?

01:08:41.300 What is Ted going to say?

01:08:43.120 Well, I don't know what Ted's going to say, but neither do they.

01:08:46.320 And I don't know.

01:08:46.880 What would you say?

01:08:48.000 Forget it's too late.

01:08:50.040 Throw that piece of advice out.

01:08:51.920 What is your advice to Bud Light?

01:08:53.500 Lay low.

01:08:54.700 Just don't say anything.

01:08:55.600 Don't say it.

01:08:56.300 Damn words.

01:08:57.500 Apologize and mean it.

01:08:59.200 And just lay low.

01:09:00.900 Exactly.

01:09:01.140 And then just, and then just, and then hope that people forget.

01:09:04.480 They're not going to, Bud Light.

01:09:06.140 They're not going to.

01:09:06.960 You've destroyed your brand.

01:09:10.180 Destroyed it.

01:09:10.920 That one thing.

01:09:12.120 Destroyed a hundred years.

01:09:14.020 That one thing.

01:09:15.600 I mean, and that might be the answer.

01:09:17.280 Of course, they can't accept that answer.

01:09:19.000 They have to try to repair it.

01:09:19.960 Yeah, as the gods of the copybook headings with terror and slaughter return is the Rudyard Kipling last line of the poem,

01:09:30.820 gods of the copybook headings, which is truth returning to a people that have completely disregarded the truth, made truth.

01:09:42.060 Things like, you know, horses and ponies have wings and wishes are pigs.

01:09:52.160 Those kinds of things.

01:09:53.260 No, they're really not.

01:09:55.040 Ponies don't have wings.

01:09:56.800 Okay.

01:09:57.760 And when that, when your society has gone so far off the track, it takes a toll when you finally return back to the truth.

01:10:07.040 And America is returning back to the truth, whether you, whether you like it or they like it or not, it's returning back to the truth.

01:10:13.720 Did you hear what Coca-Cola did?

01:10:16.960 This is, this is amazing.

01:10:18.700 So, uh, shareholders have requested that Coca-Cola's board of directors issue a public report prior to the December 31st, 2023,

01:10:31.440 admitting confidential information and, uh, at a reasonable expense, detailing any known and potential risk or cost to the company caused by enacted or proposed state policies,

01:10:45.580 severely restricting reproductive rights, and detailing any strategies beyond, uh, litigation and legal compliance that the company may deploy to minimize or mitigate these risks.

01:10:58.460 Here's what it is.

01:10:59.800 A nonprofit that proposes ESG policies to companies, um, which is called, as you saw, well, that's clever or just stupid.

01:11:12.320 87% of the controlling shares voted against their proposal.

01:11:20.060 What their proposal was, we're not going to ship Cokes to, uh, states that don't, uh, allow abortion.

01:11:27.760 Boom.

01:11:29.740 And the shareholders were like, what?

01:11:33.900 Oh, I said, we're not going to ship Coca-Cola to states.

01:11:38.060 Boom.

01:11:38.860 Boom.

01:11:41.180 Nope.

01:11:42.040 Nope.

01:11:42.420 83% are against that.

01:11:44.380 Mm.

01:11:44.780 83%.

01:11:45.900 And so now they're like, we'd like to see how you're coming up with these great, uh, proposals, please.

01:11:52.140 Kind of seems a little crazy.

01:11:53.620 Uh, I think this is an interesting thing to think about this as we look at a long-term response to wokeness.

01:11:59.840 How do you systemize this and what, what are you trying to do?

01:12:04.540 Who is the right target?

01:12:06.280 And what's, what are you trying to accomplish when you look at it, at these companies, right?

01:12:10.460 So we did a show, uh, last night on Studos America, by the way, if you're looking for a show at 8 p.m. Eastern, just because maybe one of your favorite shows just got canceled.

01:12:17.620 It's available, 8 p.m., YouTube, Blaze TV, Pluto TV.

01:12:22.240 Yeah, it's, it's there every night for you.

01:12:24.500 Um, but we went through the five levels of corporate wokeness, okay?

01:12:29.000 And so you have, number one, company that is woke and proud of it, right?

01:12:33.620 Think Ben and Jerry's, right?

01:12:35.260 They, any liberal policy that comes out, they're in full endorsement.

01:12:38.400 They're Bernie Sanders.

01:12:39.280 They don't like Jews very much.

01:12:40.520 There's a lot of things that they do.

01:12:41.840 And they've smoked enough dope to where they don't care.

01:12:44.400 They don't care.

01:12:44.940 They don't care.

01:12:45.500 So you can boycott Ben and Jerry's all you want.

01:12:48.140 They're not going to change it.

01:12:48.720 But they're not going to change a policy because to them, wokeness is more important than selling you ice cream.

01:12:53.400 Like, straight out.

01:12:54.820 Next level down.

01:12:56.340 Neutral to the public, but woke in the boardroom.

01:13:00.200 Right?

01:13:00.440 These companies that act like, they're just normal companies, but their activity in the background is always...

01:13:06.200 Verizon.

01:13:06.980 Yeah, right.

01:13:07.560 We talk about these phone companies, right?

01:13:09.260 Where they're donating all their money to Planned Parenthood and all this stuff.

01:13:12.700 But they act like the normal company that's just trying to serve you and sell you cell phone service.

01:13:16.380 Can you hear me now?

01:13:17.160 Right.

01:13:17.400 There you go.

01:13:17.700 Can you hear me now?

01:13:18.440 Because I've got the screaming of all of these babies that are dying right now in my other ear.

01:13:24.480 So speak up a little bit louder.

01:13:26.020 Mm-hmm.

01:13:26.480 Okay.

01:13:26.860 Now, that's not Bud Light.

01:13:28.640 That's not Budweiser, right?

01:13:29.780 No.

01:13:30.060 They're not neutral to the public and woke in the boardroom.

01:13:32.580 They're doing the opposite.

01:13:33.380 They did a bizarre sort of outreach to Dylan Mulvaney publicly and then are trying in the

01:13:42.760 boardroom, seeming to reverse that.

01:13:44.000 So that's the next category.

01:13:45.420 Neutral in the boardroom, woke to the public.

01:13:48.260 Mm-hmm.

01:13:48.480 And I think that's the type of person that is affected by the ESG score, right?

01:13:51.960 They're not necessarily a woke company, but they see these pressures coming in.

01:13:56.940 They think maybe it's the right stance to sell product to be woke.

01:14:01.820 They don't care about transgender issues.

01:14:04.160 They're taking positions to try to act, like, to get new demographics in.

01:14:08.820 I think there's another category.

01:14:10.660 I've got two more.

01:14:11.460 Oh, okay.

01:14:11.920 Okay, so tell me if these are coveringers.

01:14:13.420 The next one is neutral.

01:14:15.560 This is what everything used to be.

01:14:18.440 Back in the day, everyone was just like, you know what?

01:14:21.860 We just want to sell products.

01:14:23.940 If you want to buy them, buy them.

01:14:25.500 If you don't want to buy them, now, I don't know if there's any.

01:14:29.700 I mean, I don't know.

01:14:31.060 Maybe there's some, but almost everybody seems to have some political bend.

01:14:35.220 And then the last one is, like, you mentioned Verizon earlier, the Category 5, not woke

01:14:41.700 and proud of it.

01:14:42.720 That would be Patriot Mobile, right?

01:14:44.260 Where Patriot Mobile is just like, yeah, we're not woke at all.

01:14:48.360 We're pro-life.

01:14:49.400 We're a pro-life Christian company, and we stand on that.

01:14:52.060 I think there's the other category of pretty hostile to the woke thing, but have to do

01:14:59.040 it because of what it would mean for the stock price.

01:15:03.500 They bought into all the lies.

01:15:05.280 And I think that's where Bud probably is.

01:15:07.640 Yeah, I think of that as...

01:15:09.420 They're not neutral.

01:15:10.840 You think they're hostile to wokeness?

01:15:13.600 Hostile to wokeness?

01:15:14.400 I think a good majority probably are hostile to it, but when sitting down, they're just

01:15:22.120 doing it to get through.

01:15:23.480 I think of that as that neutral in the boardroom.

01:15:25.800 But you're right, neutral to anti-woke in the boardroom, right?

01:15:28.920 Like, they're not embracing it.

01:15:31.100 And I think that's where Bud Light is.

01:15:32.760 So, number one, I think that's probably the best target for an outreach campaign from conservatives

01:15:41.400 who are frustrated by this, people who actually are doing this because they think it's the

01:15:46.360 right thing to do to sell more beer, right?

01:15:48.340 But you're not...

01:15:49.080 Here's the thing.

01:15:50.080 You're not...

01:15:50.980 In today's world, there is no forgiveness.

01:15:56.100 That's the problem.

01:15:57.280 There is no forgiveness.

01:15:59.180 Well, but you just said, when they did this dilemma of anything, that it's over.

01:16:04.280 Yeah.

01:16:04.580 That does not show forgiveness, right?

01:16:06.440 No, I know, because...

01:16:07.400 Is there something they could do to make this right?

01:16:09.480 No, because nobody believes anybody anymore.

01:16:12.880 Right.

01:16:13.280 You have no trust.

01:16:14.320 Right.

01:16:14.680 No, that's true.

01:16:15.460 It's not like the Clydesdale can go out and say, but they feed me oats.

01:16:20.560 And the same kind of yummy oats and hops that are in this Bud Light.

01:16:26.040 You know, there's no...

01:16:27.020 What can they possibly do that you will believe?

01:16:31.140 Nothing.

01:16:31.560 When you betray the truth that hard, this is why sane Democrats are jumping off the Democratic

01:16:41.680 wagon right now.

01:16:43.060 Because that correction is coming.

01:16:46.860 It's coming.

01:16:48.080 But like, isn't there something in this situation?

01:16:50.960 Logically, shouldn't we be asking for something?

01:16:54.640 Like, what happened with Bud Light is they came out and they made a statement, which was

01:16:58.460 not incredibly strong, but not incredibly weak either.

01:17:01.400 They were basically saying, like, we went out of this.

01:17:02.920 We didn't mean to get in the middle of this.

01:17:04.540 And then the people responsible were suspended.

01:17:07.180 Now, maybe you might say that's not enough.

01:17:09.520 But like...

01:17:10.440 No, it's not...

01:17:11.100 There has to be something we're asking for if...

01:17:13.320 But what are we...

01:17:14.620 What's the point?

01:17:15.380 Why are we asking for it?

01:17:16.780 I don't want to be like them.

01:17:18.680 I don't want to say, we'll let you go ahead and sell your beer as long as you do X, Y,

01:17:24.760 and Z.

01:17:26.000 Make beer.

01:17:27.260 Right.

01:17:27.720 That's what I want.

01:17:28.260 Leave us alone.

01:17:28.940 I just want you to be neutral.

01:17:30.120 Right.

01:17:30.480 Coinbase is neutral.

01:17:31.600 They say, look, we're taking no stance on anything unless it has to do with crypto.

01:17:35.720 Correct.

01:17:36.220 That's the right approach.

01:17:37.920 That's the right approach.

01:17:38.940 Once you've crossed the Rubicon, I don't think you get your credibility back.

01:17:43.680 But this is a massive organization.

01:17:45.700 Right.

01:17:45.920 They hired someone...

01:17:47.360 And look, I'm not defending Bud Light because I don't like what they did here.

01:17:51.120 And I don't like the fact that they hired someone initially, right, whose stated goal

01:17:56.020 was to remake this brand because it became too fratty.

01:17:59.400 Right.

01:17:59.680 Like, that's a terrible idea.

01:18:01.120 They shouldn't have done that in the first place.

01:18:02.780 But like, at some point, if they do something...

01:18:06.900 If someone does something that's wrong and you think it's wrong, usually what we would

01:18:12.080 say is, hey, okay, make it right.

01:18:14.380 But this isn't a person.

01:18:15.920 No, it's a company.

01:18:17.060 Yeah, it's a brand.

01:18:18.120 You should care less about it then.

01:18:19.920 Right?

01:18:20.100 Shouldn't you care less about whether...

01:18:21.380 Yes.

01:18:21.640 You never believed in Bud Light's credibility as a bunch of human beings.

01:18:25.920 They're just a nice watery beard that's really available.

01:18:28.440 I don't know.

01:18:29.260 I don't know how I...

01:18:30.420 It's a new slogan for you.

01:18:30.860 I don't know how I can express this in a different way.

01:18:35.140 We are...

01:18:38.140 Americans feel betrayed.

01:18:41.320 Right.

01:18:41.820 And when you've betrayed, I'm sorry, you can be nice.

01:18:47.560 And over time, just make beer.

01:18:50.100 Yeah.

01:18:50.340 And over time, maybe.

01:18:52.700 Maybe.

01:18:53.140 I'm not against you, Bud Light.

01:18:55.240 Mm-hmm.

01:18:55.600 I'm not going to support you because I'm an alcoholic.

01:19:00.920 But beyond that, I wouldn't be drinking Bud Light right now because I feel betrayed by you.

01:19:07.800 But over time.

01:19:08.800 But over time...

01:19:09.340 If you show your record is strong over time and you don't do this again.

01:19:12.640 And you might want to look to do things that are standing behind, you know what, Bud?

01:19:21.520 Here's what you can do.

01:19:24.080 And I don't know if I would even accept it, but something like this.

01:19:29.160 Put our American Museum that is teaching the truth about America, you become the national sponsor of it,

01:19:36.560 and pay for it to go on the road for the next year.

01:19:40.480 Now, they would say, of course, then we're taking a stance on the right.

01:19:42.940 We're not being neutral.

01:19:43.900 We're not just making beer.

01:19:45.140 Since when is American history associated with you?

01:19:50.560 You are obviously a right...

01:19:52.820 I'm on the show and I don't...

01:19:54.480 They would associate with girl power, but not somebody who believes in the Constitution.

01:19:59.740 I am literally on this show and have been for 25 years and I don't want to associate with you.

01:20:04.260 I understand their stance here.

01:20:05.700 But that would make sense, right?

01:20:08.440 And I'm not saying that that would be a quick fix.

01:20:11.120 No.

01:20:11.560 It wouldn't...

01:20:12.200 You know, there would be a lot of people that would go, I'm going to go, but Bud Light, what were you doing?

01:20:17.480 Yeah.

01:20:17.760 What were you doing?

01:20:18.660 But over time, maybe they can rebuild it.

01:20:22.380 But otherwise, I mean, I have no suggestion.

01:20:26.500 They're Bed Bath & Beyond.

01:20:28.140 That's what they are.

01:20:29.540 Wow.

01:20:29.980 A brand that you thought would be around forever because you need bed stuff and you need bath stuff and sometimes you go beyond.

01:20:40.720 That's it.

01:20:41.600 Bye-bye.

01:20:42.360 All right.

01:20:42.720 Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

01:20:45.340 Patriot Mobile is one of those companies that Stu said.

01:20:48.340 These are the great companies.

01:20:49.860 They are not neutral.

01:20:51.860 They are for the Constitution.

01:20:54.780 They are for your free speech, your religious freedom, sanctity of life.

01:21:00.860 They have a stance on drag and any real strippers, drag or not, in your classrooms.

01:21:08.100 They actually are moms and dads of kids, of actual kids that they claim are theirs.

01:21:17.240 You know what I'm saying?

01:21:18.640 Patriot Mobile.

01:21:19.720 These are the kinds of people and companies that we need to support.

01:22:07.720 All right.

01:22:08.960 Trading has been halted a couple of times from what I understand today on Western Alliance Bank and PacWest Bank.

01:22:19.940 They're definitely – it's not contagion.

01:22:22.580 It's definitely – it's – these banks are fine.

01:22:26.300 They're solid.

01:22:27.260 Nothing to be seen here.

01:22:29.680 Well, we've already stepped in, Glenn, and the government has shown it has – giving full confidence to the markets, which is why, of course, these stocks are all down and stopping trading multiple times in a day.

01:22:40.520 Yeah, because, I mean, we have full confidence in the federal government.

01:22:44.300 And everyone believes them.

01:22:45.300 Right, right.

01:22:46.500 So I am anxious to see which secret Fed bank – you know, a bank that we're not supposed to know belongs to the Fed – which one's going to get PacWest and which one will get Western Alliance.

01:23:00.620 Will it be J.P. Morgan Chase again or Citicorp or Bank of America or maybe Wells Fargo?

01:23:07.100 We don't know.

01:23:07.780 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:13.780 It's no secret there's been a war on comedy lately.

01:25:08.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:16.060 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:19.200 How do we get our country back on its feet again?

01:25:23.800 How do we go back?

01:25:26.100 How do we go forward?

01:25:28.300 How do we trust police, people who have always trusted the police?

01:25:32.060 I have, but I saw too many police officers arresting people because they wouldn't take the COVID virus or vaccine.

01:25:42.820 They wouldn't stay at home.

01:25:44.960 They were out by themselves in a park, you know, playing football with their kid, and they had to go to jail.

01:25:53.080 How do we trust people like that?

01:25:57.100 How do we get out of this inflationary situation that we're in when Jerome Powell says,

01:26:03.360 well, we've got to cut jobs, we've got to cut wages, and we have to just slow the economy down.

01:26:12.060 Well, there's another way we can become more productive, but that requires us to be people of merit.

01:26:19.020 Do we ever see those days returning?

01:26:24.260 We'll talk about it in 60 seconds.

01:26:27.700 Here's a real review from GenuCell customer Claire.

01:26:30.600 She says, I absolutely love GenuCell.

01:26:33.020 My skin feels so good, tighter, younger, with a more evil tone.

01:26:36.380 Not evil tone.

01:26:37.460 Evil tone? What is that?

01:26:40.460 It's haunting the people around you.

01:26:43.180 More even tone, excuse me.

01:26:44.480 And I only used it for a week.

01:26:45.980 My advice for everyone, take a before picture.

01:27:40.720 There's a book out called When Race Trumps Merit.

01:27:44.220 It's written by Heather McDonald, and she's with the Manhattan Institute.

01:27:50.200 She's a fellow there.

01:27:51.640 And she's on with us now.

01:27:52.880 Hi, Heather.

01:27:54.040 Hi, Glenn.

01:27:54.820 Thanks for having me on.

01:27:56.000 Sure.

01:27:56.200 So, do we ever get back to merit in this country?

01:28:01.160 We could, with relative ease, but it requires courage.

01:28:05.820 So, all it takes is courage to stand up to the phony charge of racism and to say that standards are not racist.

01:28:15.600 The racial disparities in our country are not due to racist standards.

01:28:20.380 They're due to academic skills gaps.

01:28:23.500 They're due to criminal offending disparities.

01:28:26.860 But right now, the American civilization should not be apologizing for itself.

01:28:33.660 We are not, today, a racist country.

01:28:37.660 But what we're doing is tearing down meritocratic standards across the board, whether it's in medicine, science, law, the arts, policing,

01:28:49.880 all because those standards are being accused of having a racist impact on underrepresented minorities.

01:28:58.640 But how, let me take you to Budweiser.

01:29:01.180 Budweiser, we were just having a conversation.

01:29:04.740 How do they get their credibility back?

01:29:06.740 Well, they can't.

01:29:07.720 They will over time, I suppose, if they just don't do more stupid things.

01:29:12.660 However, you know, this has infected everything.

01:29:17.500 The reason why Bud, you know, was rejected here is, I don't want any of this crap.

01:29:24.540 I just want the beer.

01:29:26.380 Leave us alone.

01:29:28.680 Just want the beer.

01:29:30.360 Everything now is about politics.

01:29:33.500 How do we get out of that?

01:29:37.100 Yeah.

01:29:37.480 I mean, everything's about politics, but a lot of it is about race.

01:29:41.920 And we need people in medicine to stand up and say, I'm an oncologist.

01:29:47.740 I have devoted my life to trying to cure cancer.

01:29:51.100 I am not going to accept the charge that is coming out of the federal government, out of the National Institutes of Health, out of the National Cancer Institute, that medicine is racist.

01:30:02.780 I am not going to accept the charge that's coming out of our scientific journals that says that science is racist.

01:30:11.160 If people started saying that and refusing to put their heads down and go along with the elites and defend meritocratic standards that are colorblind, objective and constitutional, the whole thing would collapse.

01:30:28.720 I will tell you, especially when it comes to medicine, the fact that if you are underprivileged or intersected in any way, shape or form,

01:30:42.640 you get into medical school much faster than somebody who just happens to be really, really smart and gifted, wants to be a doctor, but they have no intersections on them.

01:30:55.780 Then the good ones are being kept out are just for our our new balancing act that we're doing.

01:31:06.980 We are going to really suffer a consequence because the best doctors are not going to be the best doctors because they weren't they weren't allowed in.

01:31:18.400 Black and Hispanic seniors are being accepted to medical schools with scores on the medical school admission test and GPAs that would be automatically disqualifying if presented by whites and Asians.

01:31:33.040 That's based on the phony charge that those medical school admissions tests are racist.

01:31:37.820 They are not. There are schools that are waiving them entirely for black students.

01:31:42.640 And when students are admitted with lower qualifications than their peers, they understandably and predictably struggle.

01:31:51.100 It's in a sense, it's not their fault.

01:31:52.900 It's the fault of the admissions officers that are subjecting the so-called beneficiaries of racial preferences to an absolutely unfair handicap.

01:32:01.960 But they struggle. And guess what? The next step has been get rid of further standards.

01:32:06.900 So we have now dismantled the step one of the medical licensing exam, which comes after the second year of medical school to test students' basic knowledge of anatomy, physiology, drug interactions.

01:32:21.760 Blacks weren't doing very well on that exam.

01:32:24.860 So we have gone last year.

01:32:26.680 We changed it from a graded system to a pass fail system to cover up the fact that blacks are not learning as much.

01:32:35.020 So they get passed along, and then the pressure is on medical school hiring committees to hire on the basis of race, not merit, put people on hospital staff on the basis of race, not merit.

01:32:46.540 The American Medical Association, the American Association of Medical Colleges is all behind this.

01:32:53.580 You read their documents, and it's like reading something out of a black studies class.

01:32:57.880 It is mind-boggling.

01:32:59.120 I have doctors on a daily basis sending me pronouncements from their associations of hematology or oncology or neurology, people trying to cure Alzheimer's disease, that are saying everything from now on has to be about anti-racism.

01:33:16.720 This is a lie, Glenn, and the scab thing is that people are still terrified.

01:33:24.440 They're terrified of losing their jobs if they stand up to this narrative, but that is what it's going to have to take.

01:33:33.280 Nobody's going to do this for us.

01:33:35.120 We have to take it back ourselves and start telling the truth that though this country had a deplorable, heartbreaking history of gratuitous cruelty towards blacks that I think actually the conservative narrative about America does not sufficiently account for, we are not that country today.

01:33:57.460 The reality is frankly black privilege, not white privilege, I don't know a single high school senior who is black who is putting down his race as white, thinking that that will improve his chances for admissions, but I know a lot of white males who are wondering if they can get away with putting down their race as black because they know perfectly well that that will give them an enormous, enormous admissions boost.

01:34:24.900 These are not the ways of a white supremacist country.

01:34:31.480 Heather, these organizations keep coming up with the same point, which is of course we want the best doctors, we want the best people here, but we also want a diverse staff, we want to make sure we're hitting those diversity goals as well.

01:34:45.580 Can they do both?

01:34:48.020 They cannot.

01:34:49.480 Unfortunately, and Glenn, this is a difficult thing to talk about.

01:34:53.280 It violates racial etiquette, people don't want to hear it, it makes them uncomfortable, but given the size of the academic skills gap right now, and let me give you some data, blacks are, if you look at 12th graders, black students, 66% of 12th grade black students do not possess even partial mastery of 12th grade math skills.

01:35:16.220 That means doing arithmetic, 66% are below basic, the number who are actually advanced in math is too small to show up statistically on a nationwide basis.

01:35:30.720 This means it is mathematically impossible to have proportional representation in our meritocratic STEM organizations.

01:35:38.980 You can have diversity or you can have meritocracy, you cannot have both.

01:35:44.680 Diversity, here's a translation key for your listeners, Glenn, diversity is simply code word for racial preferences.

01:35:54.200 When any institution is saying we're doing diversity, it means we have double standards, we're lowering our standards in order to create diversity,

01:36:02.540 because right now you cannot have both diversity and meritocracy, and we have to start standing up for meritocracy and say we'll solve those skills gaps,

01:36:13.300 but the way to solve them is not to tear down our standards.

01:36:17.720 So usually, I mean, I would hate to be a Christian missionary in the good days, and my zone is, you know, the Wall Street area,

01:36:33.800 because nobody successful, nobody, you know, at the top of their game is miserable enough to question, what am I doing wrong?

01:36:42.540 Right now, the American people are not deeply questioning, but when medicine, for instance, starts to go down,

01:36:52.640 and you have, you know, bad service, we become more like Venezuela or Cuba, then we'll ask, but it will be too late then.

01:37:03.280 How do we get people to understand today what's coming our way?

01:37:08.440 Well, they've got to get the facts about what's going on.

01:37:13.700 I mean, that is in my book.

01:37:15.520 I would say that you start with the people with power, the people that are seeing it.

01:37:21.360 Again, I'm getting this avalanche of material for people that do know what's going on from the doctors,

01:37:30.600 from the scientists who see that their entire life's work is being jeopardized and torn down by this diversity obsession.

01:37:43.340 So can you give me any examples, any stats or anything where you're seeing the impact now?

01:37:50.080 Well, with medicine, yes.

01:37:55.920 I mean, I've seen, for instance, people, for heads of medical schools, which is important,

01:38:04.180 the heads of a medical school are going to set priorities.

01:38:09.680 They're going to set the tone.

01:38:11.000 They're going to get federal funding.

01:38:12.920 I have seen the candidates that are chosen, and I have seen people with enormous cancer research success,

01:38:23.440 just the leaders in the field, not get the job because they're white males.

01:38:29.500 And the people that do get the job are, as you say, intersectional.

01:38:33.320 As far as being able to point to somebody dying because he comes through the emergency room after a car crash

01:38:42.820 and he gets a racial preference beneficiary, I don't see that.

01:38:47.820 I can see in the area of public safety, I don't see it yet, but it will happen.

01:38:53.820 But I can tell you that this disparate impact thinking that I write about is taking lives in public safety.

01:39:01.380 You know, if your listeners, Glenn, are scratching their heads and saying,

01:39:06.000 what the heck is going on in law enforcement today?

01:39:08.880 Why are all these prosecutors not prosecuting the law, you know, overlooking theft,

01:39:15.720 turnstile jumping, shoplifting, trespass, assault, disorderly conduct,

01:39:21.320 and just saying we're not going to do anything about it.

01:39:23.820 The reason they're not doing anything is because of disparate impact.

01:39:27.480 Were they to enforce the law in a colorblind, neutral, constitutional fashion,

01:39:32.800 it will have a disparate impact on black criminals, not because the law is racist,

01:39:38.040 but because the crime rates are so much higher.

01:39:40.200 When you back off of policing in the name of disparate impact,

01:39:44.540 when you back off of prosecution in the name of fighting disparate impact, lives are lost.

01:39:50.200 2020 saw the largest one-year increase in homicide in this nation's history, 29%.

01:39:56.900 Carjackings are spreading out of the inner city into the suburbs.

01:40:01.340 People are having, you know, their jewelry torn from their necks, eating outdoors in restaurants.

01:40:07.940 We see the flash mobs that have been going down the Magnificent Mile in Chicago for years

01:40:14.440 because they fear no consequences for their action.

01:40:19.320 So certainly in the field of public safety, we are seeing lives being taken,

01:40:24.380 and overwhelmingly they're black lives, they're black children who are being gunned down

01:40:28.620 and drive by shootings to not a peep of protest from the Black Lives Matter activists.

01:40:34.640 Why?

01:40:35.280 Because they're being shot by other blacks.

01:40:37.000 They're not being shot by the police.

01:40:38.620 They're not being shot by whites.

01:40:40.440 They're being shot by blacks, and therefore those black victims are of no concern

01:40:45.360 to Al Sharpton or Benjamin Crump, the ubiquitous civil rights attorney.

01:40:50.680 So this is a philosophy that disparate impact is inherently racist that must be fought,

01:40:59.420 and it will start happening in STEM.

01:41:03.020 It will slow down our scientific progress.

01:41:05.220 China is going full speed ahead with its nanotechnology.

01:41:11.300 It is grooming its students for the most challenging mathematical tests possible.

01:41:18.400 It doesn't give a damn about diversity.

01:41:20.900 It just wants to throw everything it's got at its gifted and talented programs.

01:41:25.020 Meanwhile, here in the U.S., we are dismantling gifted and talented programs.

01:41:29.520 We're saying you may be gifted in math, but you're not allowed to excel because it will

01:41:35.400 be racially disparate.

01:41:37.760 We will not have 13% at this point black students in our gifted and talented programs.

01:41:44.520 Therefore, nobody should be in a gifted and talented program.

01:41:48.440 We don't want you to do calculus in the ninth grade if you're capable of it because you will

01:41:54.240 not be in a diverse class of students.

01:41:56.580 This is a death knell to freedom, to capitalism, and to everything that we have built if we

01:42:07.320 don't turn this around.

01:42:08.160 The name of the book is When Race Trumps Merit.

01:42:11.120 The author you've been listening to is Heather McDonald.

01:42:13.880 She's from the Manhattan Institute, where she is a fellow.

01:42:17.160 Again, the name of the book is When Race Trumps Merit.

01:42:21.160 Heather, thank you so much.

01:42:22.740 Thanks for the conversation, Glenn.

01:42:24.220 You bet.

01:42:24.480 I appreciate it.

01:42:24.920 Silicon Valley Bank collapsed a month ago.

01:42:28.260 It's gone.

01:42:29.120 First Republic, 90% of its value in the last six months, gone.

01:42:33.900 But good thing JPMorgan Chase was there to absorb it.

01:42:38.160 Now we've got two others.

01:42:40.360 We have PacWest and Western Alliance that are losing all kinds of money and being shut down

01:42:49.280 on the trading floor today, two times.

01:42:52.580 What do you think?

01:42:53.680 What do you think?

01:42:54.820 Is it getting better?

01:43:44.500 Station ID.

01:43:45.000 All right, you sick, twisted freak.

01:43:59.740 Welcome to the program.

01:44:02.680 Hello, Stu.

01:44:03.980 Glenn, I'm also very worried about the loss of merit in this country.

01:44:11.440 Heather was just on and talking about this.

01:44:13.400 And, you know, you have that situation where there was a controversy.

01:44:18.260 It was a few weeks ago.

01:44:19.180 And someone was on TV and some liberal asked them, well, you know, you keep talking about

01:44:23.160 you're anti-woke.

01:44:24.020 How would you define woke?

01:44:25.980 What does woke mean?

01:44:28.220 And, you know, the controversy was about, you know, there was a pause before she answered.

01:44:32.380 I can't remember the exact situation.

01:44:34.060 But, like, shouldn't you know?

01:44:36.020 You're always complaining about wokeness.

01:44:37.520 And to me, one of the central parts of that is just the dissolving of merit in this country.

01:44:44.140 That, like, that is central to it.

01:44:46.180 I think that started a long time ago when I hired you.

01:44:49.200 Yeah, exactly.

01:44:49.980 Yeah.

01:44:50.160 I mean, that's a great first point.

01:44:52.500 Yeah.

01:44:52.700 I mean, it's like everybody in America heard that and they were like, what the hell?

01:44:56.160 What?

01:44:57.060 Yeah.

01:44:57.320 I mean, I expected so much more.

01:44:58.960 Right.

01:44:59.200 And I'm with you, America.

01:45:01.120 I did, too, when I hired him.

01:45:02.960 Believe me.

01:45:03.400 And being here for 25 years with you, I've wondered about my own standards.

01:45:08.980 But it is, like, I do think that's central to what we're fighting here.

01:45:12.940 Right.

01:45:13.360 It's not like just this feeling of liberal annoyances and tweets.

01:45:17.520 It's this idea that we're losing something really fundamental to the country's success,

01:45:21.920 which is we care about merit and they cared about class and they cared about race and other

01:45:26.100 countries cared about kings and queens and princes and all that.

01:45:29.100 We blew them out of their crap.

01:45:29.600 And we blew them out of the water.

01:45:30.680 Yeah.

01:45:30.820 We blew them out of the water by saying we don't care about any of that.

01:45:33.300 We care about who's best at the job.

01:45:35.200 And now we're dissolving that.

01:45:37.360 And we're not just dissolving it like just not hiring people of merit.

01:45:43.560 It's going down to our kids.

01:45:45.300 They are not even learning about merit.

01:45:49.860 In fact, if they do, they'll learn that meritocracy is bad.

01:45:54.760 They're telling kids that getting to work on time is racist.

01:45:59.100 How do you fight this?

01:46:01.780 That's why I don't show up on time.

01:46:02.920 Yeah.

01:46:03.140 I'm kidding.

01:46:03.680 American financing.

01:46:04.680 NMLS 1-823-34.

01:46:06.740 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

01:46:09.900 Hey, listen.

01:46:10.260 If you're a homeowner and you're struggling at the end of the month to make ends meet,

01:46:14.520 there's a lot of Americans right now that are in exactly the same condition.

01:46:20.480 You might consider taking out a consolidation loan.

01:46:24.120 I know the word loan is scary up front.

01:46:26.760 It may not be right for you.

01:46:28.200 I don't know.

01:46:28.660 But talking about it with somebody who can help you get rid of the terrible things like

01:46:34.040 high interest rate credit card debt, these are the kind of things that put you in a holding

01:46:38.600 pattern where you can barely touch the principal.

01:46:43.340 You're just making interest payments.

01:46:45.820 It's got to stop.

01:46:46.760 Do not be the United States government.

01:46:49.660 So you might want to set up a consolidation loan.

01:46:54.540 What was that about merit?

01:46:56.280 I can't remember what you were saying about that and who would be hired for radio.

01:46:59.780 I want you to call American Financing now.

01:47:02.300 The number is 800-906-2440.

01:47:06.220 800-906-2440 or AmericanFinancing.net.

01:47:16.000 If you're looking to lower your standards, how about Blaze TV?

01:47:19.700 BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.

01:47:21.980 Robocode is Glenn.

01:47:22.860 All right.

01:47:36.540 So ABC News, Martha Raddatz was talking to very excited liberal voters about, you know,

01:47:44.840 what what's on the horizon here?

01:47:47.300 What are you excited about?

01:47:48.780 I've got a Joe Biden supporter with me, and they're just excited about the whole thing.

01:47:55.760 Here's how it went.

01:47:57.020 Democrats are divided on whether or not President Biden should be running again.

01:48:02.500 You voted for Biden.

01:48:04.880 I did.

01:48:05.660 He announced this week.

01:48:06.840 What was your reaction?

01:48:08.480 Regret, disappointment, frustration.

01:48:11.900 While it's very early in the race, that disappointment and frustration

01:48:16.200 was expressed again and again by young voters we talked to.

01:48:20.800 I think I would go for Biden, but obviously I would prefer a fresher candidate.

01:48:24.700 He announced this week.

01:48:25.780 Were you excited by that?

01:48:27.940 Uh, not particularly.

01:48:29.680 I'm more interested in a progressive candidate.

01:48:31.620 Despite having voted for Biden last time, 21-year-old Elena Symes

01:48:36.420 couldn't point me to anything that would make her want to vote for him again, except...

01:48:42.260 What do you like about Joe Biden?

01:48:43.620 That he's not Trump.

01:48:55.600 I mean, that's the whole thing.

01:48:57.780 That's their entire strategy.

01:48:59.000 If you're curious as to what Joe Biden is trying to do to become president again,

01:49:02.960 you just heard it outlined right there.

01:49:04.760 He will not be Donald Trump.

01:49:06.160 Yep.

01:49:06.380 And for no point in the campaign will he be Donald Trump.

01:49:09.400 He might sound like Trump on things like Social Security, but that's a totally different issue

01:49:13.940 and you should totally ignore that.

01:49:15.740 Uh, it is fascinating to watch this because they are not at all inspired by this guy.

01:49:22.880 They're not at all excited about it.

01:49:25.780 I have to tell you, I think, I think RFK could make a run for it.

01:49:29.640 This is insane, too.

01:49:30.980 I know.

01:49:31.380 But I do think he's...

01:49:33.940 He's at 20% in some of these polls.

01:49:36.200 That's insanity for a guy who is just basically, you know, look, a long shot, like...

01:49:43.100 He's going to be perceived as a younger guy, a different generation.

01:49:49.280 How old is he?

01:49:50.000 He's not young, right?

01:49:50.880 He's got to be, no, he's got to be in his 60s.

01:49:53.300 Let's see, born in 54.

01:49:55.380 So, yeah.

01:49:55.860 Yeah.

01:49:56.280 So, uh, you know...

01:49:57.780 Almost 70.

01:49:58.440 He's, uh, he's, uh, he's not the typical.

01:50:02.260 He's saying exciting things.

01:50:03.820 He's got 19% with Democrats already.

01:50:07.260 That's...

01:50:07.760 19!

01:50:09.040 There's going to be some protest vote.

01:50:10.480 Some people will just say no to whoever's at the top of the ticket, but I think that's

01:50:13.900 more significant.

01:50:14.700 Could just be Kennedy name recognition at this point.

01:50:18.040 And look, Kennedy...

01:50:19.560 People have lost this over the past year or two, but Kennedy aligns very strongly with

01:50:24.960 the hardcore left wing of the Democratic Party.

01:50:28.360 This is a man who wants to put people who disagree with him on climate in prison.

01:50:33.160 This is a person who is outwardly argued for, by name, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh to

01:50:40.660 be executed because of tre...

01:50:42.920 They're guilty of treason.

01:50:45.100 Yeah, that's a little...

01:50:45.860 It was a little harsh.

01:50:47.080 It was a little harsh.

01:50:47.780 I will say, that does make them fit directly into the left wing, the AOC wing of the Democratic

01:50:53.700 Party.

01:50:53.960 Yeah, it does.

01:50:54.960 It does.

01:50:55.040 So there is going to be a bunch of people who like that sort of approach.

01:50:58.540 And of course, you know, but really all he's been talking about lately has been the vaccine

01:51:02.420 stuff, which has a base on the left as well as the right.

01:51:06.300 That's sort of a bipartisan issue.

01:51:08.480 And I think it'll go back for a long time on that.

01:51:10.640 Well, I will tell you this.

01:51:11.160 The thing I like about Joe Biden is he's not RFK Jr.

01:51:14.340 So we got that going for us.

01:51:17.080 The thing I like about RFK Jr. is he's not Joe Biden.

01:51:18.980 Yeah.

01:51:19.180 So basically, no one's voting for anyone.

01:51:22.520 No.

01:51:22.820 And we're all just voting against what the other side is.

01:51:25.220 So Hunter Biden was in court yesterday and he is actually trying to cry.

01:51:35.560 Poor mouth.

01:51:36.400 He actually said, I've only ridden on Air Force One once, which I don't think is true.

01:51:43.920 I've only done that once.

01:51:45.580 My Porsche has been repossessed.

01:51:48.720 No.

01:51:49.100 I have no idea what I'm making with my art.

01:51:52.400 No idea.

01:51:53.320 Because I can't, I can't, you know, I'm not allowed to see who even bought anything.

01:51:58.340 Well, but you probably are allowed to see the check that you're getting from the gallery,

01:52:04.260 I'm guessing.

01:52:06.320 He said, no, you don't know.

01:52:08.280 It's bad.

01:52:10.040 I had to sleep on a cot in my dad's room when he went to Ireland.

01:52:17.140 Oh my God.

01:52:19.140 Wait, why were you with him in Ireland?

01:52:22.780 Right?

01:52:23.440 Right.

01:52:23.760 Why'd you go to Ireland?

01:52:24.940 Maybe you should get a job if you're so poor.

01:52:27.260 We all know that he's lying, right?

01:52:29.600 And he's blatantly lying here for some purpose.

01:52:34.620 But can I ask a different question here?

01:52:36.660 Sure, sure.

01:52:37.200 Why don't they just pay this woman off?

01:52:39.980 This is an incredibly wealthy family.

01:52:43.200 They have the, his dad is the president of the United States.

01:52:46.420 They don't need this hassle.

01:52:48.860 Why wouldn't they?

01:52:49.580 This hassle.

01:52:49.960 I'm serious.

01:52:50.400 This child.

01:52:51.480 I, again, you don't want to be punished with a baby.

01:52:54.680 But I mean, like, I'm saying like, take out the actual honorable thing to think about.

01:52:59.940 That's not going to be part of the Biden calculus on this.

01:53:03.060 I'm saying purely from politics.

01:53:05.380 You could pay this woman off for what?

01:53:07.640 A quarter of a million dollars a year?

01:53:09.040 Literally nothing to them.

01:53:13.680 Just pay her.

01:53:15.460 All your, why, if you are a democratic operative, and again, if you are, you have no soul, so

01:53:20.780 this would make sense to you.

01:53:22.460 Why wouldn't you just pay her off?

01:53:25.680 Just give her what she wants.

01:53:28.020 Who cares?

01:53:29.280 They obviously don't care about this child.

01:53:31.060 The media doesn't seem to care if the president of the United States is abandoning his grandchild.

01:53:37.140 No one seems to be interested in this.

01:53:39.720 No one's asked him one single question about it.

01:53:44.340 Why, I don't know.

01:53:45.740 But if you're a Democrat, why not just, who cares?

01:53:49.620 Just, you know, okay, George, get George Soros over here.

01:53:53.060 Donate some money.

01:53:54.460 Pay it off.

01:53:55.240 Find a way to get this paid off so we don't have to hear from her anymore and we can ignore

01:53:59.480 our grandchild in peace.

01:54:01.140 I can't believe that's not their approach.

01:54:02.740 It's really cynical, but I am surprised.

01:54:06.300 Yeah.

01:54:06.600 Why are they fighting this?

01:54:08.260 I don't, I, I don't know.

01:54:10.820 I don't know other than, uh, maybe, maybe it's your mistake.

01:54:16.740 You clean it up.

01:54:17.780 But that would require a parent.

01:54:20.340 Right.

01:54:20.940 That is going to let somebody sit with their mistakes.

01:54:23.720 And that's not the case.

01:54:26.000 The Biden family has not been tough love.

01:54:27.560 They've been, hey, use my influence to get yourself out of situations.

01:54:30.780 No.

01:54:30.980 Which again, it's not like they feel like if they felt like they were being extorted for

01:54:36.960 a false, uh, claim of, of fatherhood here for Hunter, you could understand it.

01:54:42.880 But this, that we've already passed that stage.

01:54:44.680 Right.

01:54:44.920 Like this is a woman who definitely had sex with your son while he was actually dating

01:54:53.200 your other son's ex-wife.

01:54:56.120 Okay.

01:54:56.940 That happened.

01:54:58.420 The tests have all come in.

01:55:00.220 This is actually your grandchild, Joe.

01:55:03.360 And the fact that he will not acknowledge that.

01:55:06.760 And then separately, the democratic apparatus won't get them out of this trouble for a couple

01:55:10.980 hundred thousand dollars is shocking.

01:55:12.280 Look at how much the left and Democrats hate Donald Trump.

01:55:20.600 Oh my God.

01:55:20.940 They are overlooking.

01:55:22.780 Despise him.

01:55:23.640 Everything on Joe Biden.

01:55:25.760 They've overlooked his massive corruption.

01:55:29.160 We're putting our national security at stake because of his relationships with, uh, China.

01:55:36.440 We have our national security at stake because of what we did in Afghanistan and Ukraine.

01:55:43.280 We're torching our economy.

01:55:46.200 We're spending way too much money.

01:55:48.700 And the only, the only solution is to hurt your job and your wages.

01:55:55.900 His son is wildly corrupt.

01:55:59.160 We know that the CIA chief now is wildly corrupt and lied to the American people about the Hunter

01:56:07.620 Biden laptop so he could get elected.

01:56:09.400 I mean, every criminal thing, everything that anybody who is decent at all looks at and goes,

01:56:18.300 this is despicable.

01:56:20.040 And he won't even recognize his grandchild.

01:56:23.780 And it's not that they don't know.

01:56:25.760 They know this is just, these are despicable human beings.

01:56:31.340 And yet half the country is okay with that.

01:56:33.780 They don't even like him.

01:56:35.280 They don't like the job he's doing, but they will vote for him again.

01:56:40.700 You know, I mean, we're answering our own question here.

01:56:43.360 You know, why, why don't they pay him, this woman off?

01:56:46.100 Because they know no one's going to ask and they know they won't be held accountable and

01:56:50.400 they know no one cares what they do.

01:56:52.160 They don't care.

01:56:52.980 I mean, they've committed much worse crimes than this and no one said anything.

01:56:56.340 So why bother?

01:56:57.720 Maybe that's the answer.

01:56:58.800 They're just so confident that they will never be asked a question about it and never will

01:57:02.460 have to deal with reality that they just, they just keep fighting it.

01:57:06.000 Why, why, why imagine, you imagine if we slipped through that same wormhole that we slipped

01:57:10.500 through to get to this earth and we went back to the earth we were on, you know, like in

01:57:15.800 2000, well, 1980, uh, and, and the, in the American people woke up and saw this president

01:57:28.860 for what he was.

01:57:30.060 I mean, when that, if that ever happens, it, it, it, it's going to be a shocking, think

01:57:40.740 about putting this country back on the right track.

01:57:44.060 I don't know if it can even be done, but think about what a Herculean task that's going to

01:57:52.800 be to clean all of the corruption up, to, to punish the bad guys, to even recognize the

01:58:03.260 bad guys anymore.

01:58:04.640 We don't even recognize who the bad guys are.

01:58:12.320 What a, what a flip from reality this is going to be.

01:58:19.400 Yeah, that's one way to look at it.

01:58:20.840 You know what, Glenn, it'll be really interesting to see how this plays out.

01:58:25.060 That, this is what I taught Stu earlier today in the podcast.

01:58:29.600 You know, you just look at everything and instead of going, we're doomed, we're dead.

01:58:34.020 Hmm.

01:58:35.440 It's going to be interesting to see how this works out.

01:58:37.300 Yeah.

01:58:38.300 I'm, I'm, I'm really anxious to see how this all plays out and, uh, and, and, uh, you

01:58:43.740 know, and how people, uh, learn, you know, the lesson.

01:58:46.240 It's sort of a catch-all for all problems and I am completely and fully in it now.

01:58:51.980 I'm there.

01:58:52.460 It's good.

01:58:52.860 It's good.

01:58:53.560 All right.

01:58:53.960 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:58:56.340 Uh, when you say that something is your specialty, what do you mean by that?

01:59:00.480 I'm a radio guy.

01:59:02.720 I've been doing this since Joe Biden needed a bedpan.

01:59:06.160 It's been that long.

01:59:07.600 When I call radio, my specialty, it means, well, not that I'm good at it, but I do it

01:59:14.400 every day.

01:59:15.340 It's my full-time gig.

01:59:18.180 And I've conned a lot of people, including you into thinking this is worth listening to.

01:59:24.200 Now, those are not the people that we hire and look for at real estate agents.

01:59:29.180 I trust.com housing markets, a weird place.

01:59:32.720 And, uh, you know, if you want the job done, you have to have somebody who this is their

01:59:38.560 specialty.

01:59:39.520 This is what they do day in and day out.

01:59:42.220 And unlike me, they're good at their job.

01:59:45.840 Okay.

01:59:46.480 If you're looking to buy or sell, whether it's across the street or across the country, the

01:59:51.880 company that you need to call that will just recommend the right person to you.

01:59:56.160 It's free.

02:00:02.720 to find the right person around you.

02:00:05.220 If we don't have somebody in your area, we're not going to just recommend somebody.

02:00:08.400 These people are vetted six ways to Sunday.

02:00:11.740 So you want to find the right agent to help you buy or sell a house.

02:00:15.880 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

02:00:21.340 Join the conversation.

02:00:23.660 888-727-BECK.

02:00:25.700 The Glenn Beck Program.

02:00:44.160 You know, Stu and I have been talking here often on the air today about, you know, it's

02:00:49.440 going to be interesting.

02:00:50.500 It's going to be interesting to see how everybody works out.

02:00:52.580 Uh, you know, all these things that are going on.

02:00:55.280 Wow.

02:00:55.600 I'm, I'm anxious to see how that, uh, how that ends.

02:00:58.180 Huh?

02:00:58.420 Did you see that?

02:00:59.240 Wow.

02:00:59.740 Yeah.

02:01:00.080 That's how I want to react.

02:01:01.060 Yeah.

02:01:01.580 And, uh, and so I said to Stu just a minute ago, um, what would make it even more interesting?

02:01:08.660 And he said, I don't know if we want to make it more interesting.

02:01:10.860 And I said, no, I mean, in a fun way, um, you know, maybe, maybe we lay bets or something.

02:01:16.420 Maybe, maybe we, you know, like I offer a thousand dollars every month and I'm going

02:01:22.760 to give somebody who comes up with the most outrageous prediction of what could happen

02:01:28.200 by the end of the month.

02:01:29.320 And you get a thousand bucks if it comes through.

02:01:32.780 It seems reasonable.

02:01:34.060 Yeah.

02:01:34.280 I mean, cause then we could be looking for it.

02:01:35.920 We'd be like, aha, this could be the opportunity when a rabbit shoots out of his butt and nobody

02:01:43.440 saw it coming.

02:01:44.120 Like the classic examples of this would be like aliens, you know, are discovered.

02:01:48.540 And it's like, eh, would that even be that crazy?

02:01:51.880 Like it's kind of already happened almost.

02:01:53.600 I'm wondering, you know, because you know, that thing where they, uh, I can't remember

02:01:58.940 what it's called, but that, uh, that the reason why we don't find alien life anywhere is because

02:02:05.360 once you hit the radio wave, then the, you know, you're just a couple of years away from

02:02:11.800 discovering a nuke and then you blow yourself up.

02:02:14.120 Well, that clearly didn't happen in that amount of time.

02:02:17.160 Our radio waves are out there now when they come here, it will, you know, we might be annihilated.

02:02:21.740 However, however, maybe it's, it's not the nuke.

02:02:27.540 Maybe it's AI, which gives you more time.

02:02:33.560 And so any planet that has an Elon Musk, they, their people are on another world.

02:02:41.420 You know what I mean?

02:02:42.400 Without the radio equipment or anything.

02:02:44.820 And they're all stranded on another world.

02:02:46.920 Oh, that sounds great.

02:02:47.700 Okay.

02:02:48.360 Um, wonderful outcome.

02:02:49.560 But it also could be, this is why the aliens are coming now because they're like, they're

02:02:54.280 about to do it.

02:02:55.080 They're about to do it.

02:02:56.100 And they're either here to watch the firework show.

02:02:58.500 They'd be like, huh, it's going to be interesting to see how these people work this out.

02:03:01.520 Isn't it?

02:03:01.920 Yeah.

02:03:02.500 And they'll be like, yes, but believe, uh, it's never worked out on any other planet.

02:03:07.860 And you'll like, yeah, but it might, maybe this time they'll do it.

02:03:11.540 Uh, and believe he's always running his mouth.

02:03:14.600 I know.

02:03:14.880 So either, so either believe is right or the other guy is right.

02:03:18.320 And we work it out.

02:03:19.460 And maybe they're here.

02:03:20.640 Cause they're like, screw the prime directive.

02:03:23.300 We're going to intervene at the last minute.

02:03:27.260 Maybe, maybe that's it.

02:03:28.500 Maybe.

02:03:28.740 Maybe.

02:03:29.020 Maybe.

02:03:29.180 Could.

02:03:29.920 Would you be, and I'm being this sincerely, would you be that surprised if aliens landed

02:03:36.480 in the next month or two and said, you guys are going to destroy yourself.

02:03:41.440 We're here to help.

02:03:43.180 I feel like we'd be on the air saying like, guys, I feel like we would have years ago thought

02:03:49.420 this was a huge story that there's aliens now walking around and they, and they owned

02:03:53.660 a Sbarro in, in, uh, in Acapulco.

02:03:57.100 Right.

02:03:57.460 I think like we would have talked about, that would have been like the biggest story in the

02:04:00.520 news a few years ago, but obviously now Trump just tweeted something.

02:04:03.480 Is there a possibility that Bleeb is already here and he's running for president and it

02:04:08.680 is RFK?

02:04:10.180 Is that, it's the same voice, isn't it?

02:04:14.180 I, I don't know.

02:04:15.860 I haven't heard Bleeb.

02:04:17.420 Uh, but if that's.

02:04:19.020 Well, you impersonated Bleeb.

02:04:19.860 Well, yes I did.

02:04:21.060 And your impersonation of Bleeb.

02:04:22.080 See, I would vote Bleeb for president.

02:04:24.220 I don't know that I want to vote RFK Jr., but I would vote Bleeb.

02:04:27.340 Bleeb for president.

02:04:28.800 Bleeb, 2024, I'm in.

02:04:30.940 Yeah.

02:04:31.280 I'm in.

02:04:31.640 I think he's the only, or the only thing that will, can get us there.

02:04:35.460 Oh, you call him a thing?

02:04:36.560 I don't know.

02:04:36.740 You don't know his pronouns.

02:04:38.140 I know.

02:04:38.500 That's what I'm saying.

02:04:39.040 That's why I used thing.

02:04:39.880 I was, I thought I was being accepting.

02:04:41.320 Wow.

02:04:43.200 The Glenn Beck Program.

02:04:44.580 That's why I was, I think, her voice at Broadcom.
