So let me tell you about Cabrini.
You know, I told Stu about it, and
he has a ban on anything where women wear hats.
Fancy hat ban?
Yeah, he's got a fancy hat ban.
He would, he would, you know, he'd watch a movie, I guess, about the, you know, the March on Washington and the pink hats, because they're not fancy.
But if women wear hats, he's not interested.
This is false, and I'm very interested in seeing Cabrini.
In fact, even if I had a full ban on fancy hats, I would make an exception for this movie.
Right.
You've said that, actually.
Because as soon as I saw the movie, I'm like, Stu's not going to watch it.
It's a period piece because it takes place in the 1900s in New York.
But it is, I mean, it's the immigrants and the immigrant story that you want to watch and is so important.
This woman came over here.
She was really abused and walked all over, but she ended up walking all over the dirt bags of New York and became an American citizen, is proud and is now the first American saint.
It's Cabrini.

Welcome to the fusion
of entertainment
and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Hey, Stu, would you just check something out for me?
I got to do a commercial here real quick, and I ran out of time.
Will you just look up the Constitution and look up Article 1, Section 8?
Article 1, Section 8.
I'm looking at this spending bill, and I think that's where you're going to find the clause for the spending.
We'll do that here in just a second.
First, wait till you see the spending bill.
It's fantastic.
Anyway, listen, I want you to be prepared for what is coming.
The top stories today are the border, which is completely out of control and the government doing nothing about it.
The next story of the top is how our
inflation is going to go through the roof because we're spending so much money.
And the last one is the most insane spending bill I've ever seen.
So protect yourself because trouble is coming.
Please, please find out if gold or silver is right for you.

800-957-GOLD.
Call them today.
800-957-GOLD.
All right, so, Stu, can you find...
What is Article 1, Section 8 again?
It's...
First of all, I want to say that Lear Capital, good sponsor for this particular segment.
Yes, Section 8, Powers of Congress.
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises.
to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States.
But all duties, imposts, and excises should be uniform throughout the United States.
Okay, so can you find the grooming, binding, and tucking clause?
Grooming.
Binding.
Binding
and tucking.
I'm searching for those words, Claude.
I'm not seeing them in Section 8.
Is it possible?
What would the founders, this probably old timey speak?
What would the founders have put in the Constitution
if our teenagers wanted to bind their breast or tuck their wiener wiener in,
what would that be under?
That's the one I think is
in invisible ink on the back.
Oh, where you need the special Ben Franklin glasses.
Exactly, yes.
All right.
Right.
You nailed it.
Okay.
Well,
you know,
I have to tell you,
you know, when we have, what is it,
$400,000?
Well, let me just go through what we have.
We have $500 million
appropriated for the Defense Security Cooperation Agency.
I don't even know what that is.
Oh, okay.
Hey, wait, wait, wait.
For Operation Maintenance Defense-wide for the government of Jordan to support the armed forces of Jordan and to enhance security along its borders.
You know, it bothers me that they say there's no real spending for borders, you know?
And because there's lots.
There's $500 million for Jordan to protect its borders.
Of the amounts appropriated to this act under the heading of Operation and Defense, blah, blah, blah, Defense Secretary Cooperation Agency, $380 million on top of the $500 will be available.
Oh, boy, we are being tough.
Only until September 30th, this offer expires.
It'll be available to reimburse Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman
for the National Defense Authorization Act for for fiscal year of 2016 for enhanced border security, which not less than $150 million will be for Jordan.
So they get, Jordan gets the, let's see, they get the 500 million to protect their borders.
Then they can dip back in and get another 150 million to protect their borders.
So I think this is good.
I, you know, I don't,
I don't, I don't, I don't don't have a problem with it.
Now, there is there's a couple of things.
There's a couple of things that are a little odd in this.
For instance, the money for the
grooming, binding, and tucking.
They're going to give
an awful lot of money for new underpants for kids that get their underpants from LGBTQ
organizations,
which know my kids have
often gotten their underpants from LGBTQ
organizations.
Because there's a lot of LGBTQ kids out there without underpants.
Because, you know, that's well, that's just the way America is right now, underpantless.
And so
you have a problem, you greedy capitalist pig spending
spending this money
for underpants for kids that don't have underpants and i don't mean under just regular underpants these are special underpants they they make the weenie go away they make the breasts go away
what's next you people you just want to see kids without underpants oh no wait i'm sorry that's those have lately been just the teachers in the schools that are dreaming about little kids without underpants.
So that's good.
I don't know.
I think
this is really going to do.
This is going to do well.
I'm pretty sure.
I'm pretty sure.
Anybody have a problem with it?
Stu?
Got a problem?
You know, I have a minor problem with it, Glenn, that it didn't go far enough.
You know, why are we stopping at, what, $1.2 trillion?
It's basically couch cushion money.
You know, where is the real statement?
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Don't forget this is only the ⁇ this is the second bill, the other bill that goes with this, the companion piece.
They broke it down.
Okay.
Well, they're broke it down.
12 funding bills total.
And this one is, you know, they're getting down to the nitty-gritty here.
And this has been a real, we've seen a real drastic change in the Congress since they changed out leadership.
Wow.
I mean, it's been massive.
I've seen, I mean, this spending is just totally changing.
They're really doing a great job.
And look, there are limitations on this.
I get it.
They are the minority party overall in the government.
What can Republicans do?
You know, not, I guess, all that much unless they want to force the government to shut down, which they do not want to do.
So they're going to keep doing this and spending at levels that Democrats are comfortable with.
And they think they only need about 100 Republicans to vote for this.
About 10 to 15 Democrats will probably vote against it, which leaves about, you know, you need about 100.
100, and they should have no problem getting over that 100 barrier in the House.
So, again, just things go on as normal.
There's no problems here.
Whatever problems you think there are with spending, you're wrong.
Just let them spend as much money as they want on whatever they want.
You know, I was reading some of the lists of winners of this bill, Glenn, and
they're just great.
You know, listen to some of this.
This is how they, this is one
from Punch Bowl.
Earmarks are back in a big way.
Senator Jenny Jerry Moran got $17.5 million for the Eisenhower Library.
Senator Lindsey Graham got $11.2 million for AnMedHealth.
Retiring Senator Joe Manchin was a winner.
He and Shelly Moore
Capito locked in $15 million for the Charleston Area Medical Center and $15 million for Marshall University.
Senator John Boozman procured $15 million for Lyon College and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.
Tammy Baldwin was a quiet earmark champ, inserting dozens of earmarks across numerous bills.
This is great.
Look at all the winners we have from our government.
Look at the winners.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I want to talk about some of the public-private partnerships that are winners, too.
The Garden State Equality, I'm sorry, yeah, Equality Education Fund Inc.
from New Jersey.
They get the underpants, $400,000 of underpants.
$850,000 is allocated for the LGBTQ senior housing in Massachusetts for services for older LGBTQ.
It might be a different kind of underpants for them in the senior housing.
I'm not really sure.
Up to $500 million appropriated for the
defense security.
Let's see.
Then you have all kinds of money.
Did you see the Did you see the Twitter
or the guy on X yesterday, I just tweeted this, who was giving the actual breakdown, put it through ChatGPT
and said, break this down.
Tell me what we're actually spending here.
Where is all of this money going?
Well, he
it did,
it did pretty well,
quite honestly.
If you look at the bill, you can figure out who's making what.
And I have to tell you, there are agencies that I don't even know, I didn't even know existed,
that are getting billions of dollars.
Billions of dollars.
If you look at what USAID is getting, do you know what USAID is?
USAID is an arm of the CIA.
That's all it is.
And it's giving money all over the world.
And not for anything that you actually think is right, but for what the CIA thinks is right.
Anybody who votes for this bill,
first of all, it came out, what, at 2.15 last night?
2.15 a.m.
They're supposed to vote on it.
Today or tomorrow.
You can't do this.
They've known about this forever
and they've gone out in advance and said to all of the senators and the house members, look, what do you want?
What's it going to take for you to pass this bill?
They didn't know what was in the bill.
What is it going to take for you?
Well,
I need $15 million for Lindsey Graham library.
Okay, but you'll support it then?
Sure, sure I will.
Yeah.
You've got to call your senator and your house rep and say absolutely not.
We're going to go through the bill with
Thomas Massey here in just a second.
But everybody I trust in Congress and the Senate has written me in the last, you know, six hours and said, Glenn, can't, can't do it.
Can't do it.
This is, let me give you a quote from
one of them.
He said
He was really mad.
You could tell who this was.
He was really, really, this is him super, super mad.
He's going off the rails.
Glenn, we're going to hell in a handbag.
Yeah, you imagine you, I think you can tell which
senator that might be, because he was very upset last night.
Going to hell in a handbag.
It is,
It is really, we are at the last chance to save our country.
If you look at all the things that are happening, if we don't turn this thing around by fall,
sorry, gang.
Sorry, I hate to say it, but you're just not going to come back from all of this.
The Attorney General in New York has now just made their first move to take Trump's assets.
Looks like they're going after
his golf course
in Westchester.
So
they are taking property away from people now.
Congratulations.
Congratulations on that.
By the way, speaking of the CIA,
the FBI, you know, is going to get another, a brand new, what is it, $200 million building in this bill.
And that's what I'm thinking.
I'm thinking, you know what?
Maybe it's the building.
Maybe that's just a toxic building.
Maybe we need to get them a new $200 million palace for them to
operate their operations against the citizens of the United States.
The CIA
now has been confronted by
the weaponization of the government committee as they're looking into Hunter Biden.
The CIA
is refusing to verify, but you can trust these guys.
Two witnesses
have come out from their federal investigators, and so they've come out from the Justice Department, and they said, Yeah,
we were stopped for looking into the Hunter Biden thing by the CIA.
They told us we couldn't talk to this person, this person, or this person.
So they were thwarting our investigation.
Oh, the CIA was.
Oh, okay.
You were looking into a crime,
uh-huh, and it was of Joe Biden's kids.
Okay.
And you were thwarted and told, no, you can't look at these things.
Okay.
All right.
I don't know about you.
Maybe, you know what?
Maybe the CIA just needs a bigger building.
Maybe that's what we should do.
More in just a second.
Standby.
First.
Let me tell you about Relief Factor.
The journey of a sleepless night.
begins with that first miserable hour and you're laying there and you're tossing and turning.
You're like, this is going to be one of those nights.
That's when I turn over and I grab for the bottle of relief factor sleep.
I take some relief factor sleep and I'm out.
You have sleepless nights.
Stop.
I know what it's like, how frustrating it is.
And then, you know, I
occasionally will not have the little bottle of relief factor sleep sitting next to me.
The first night I was up here at the ranch, I think it was Monday or Sunday, didn't have it.
And I got to tell you, I tossed internal night and I kept thinking to myself, I have got to get up at 3:30.
What am I doing?
Still awake!
Relief Factor sleep.
Get the sleep you need, a good night's sleep.
It's all natural.
It's not going to zonk you out in the morning.
Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800, the number 4, relief.
800, the number 4, relief, relieffactor.com.
10-second station ID.
Stu, I lost my notes on everything in the budget.
Do you have any?
All right, you sick twisted freak.
Welcome to the program.
Hello, Stu.
Hey, Glenn.
How was your night?
My night was
wonderful.
It was your day yesterday.
Yeah, it was.
I thought I was excited when I saw the video from the border and how under control it is.
Do we have that video, please?
Cut to
these are the
southern border.
It's not of Jordan because Jordan's border is secure.
We're paying for that.
This is the southern border, and our poor National Guard, what are they supposed to do?
What are they supposed to do except get punched?
They're not authorized to do jack.
They're not getting on horses.
I'll tell you.
Yeah, thank God they weren't on horses, right?
So look look at those families running with their children and their wives.
Oh no, they're all men.
Oh.
Yeah, they just seem like they were all dudes.
They're all
18 to 24-year-old men.
That's great.
That's great.
So I thought I was having a good day when I saw that.
And then I got up in the morning and I see that the bill has come out.
to spend us all into oblivion.
And I thought to myself, you know,
I got to hand it to him.
For people who want to destroy the country
and do it with half the country cheering them on,
they're doing a pretty good job.
Doing a pretty good job.
I mean, let's look at the bright side of this.
You know, this is probably one of the most effective
destruction plans for a country that has ever really been pulled off.
And
I think that's great.
I mean, it just, it is amazing, especially after going through the past few years of what we've seen, right?
Like we've seen non-stop inflation,
you know, that they're trying to brag about now that it's only
come down.
I mean, it's come down a little bit from its peaks, but it's still relatively high overall.
And what's the reason for that?
Constant spending.
We now seem to have a situation that is different than what we had for the past, I don't know, 20 years or, you know, previous to, I don't know, mid-2010s, where at one point we always had the Republicans who at least would say that they didn't want to spend a lot and they would push back and fight about this and that dynamic has changed quite honestly both sides don't even seem to care about it anymore yeah I mean because you know look it's about the ability to see what can be unburdened by what has been And I think now, you know,
I heard that from Kamala once, and I, yeah, and I thought myself, you know, that's really what we need.
We mean, We need a bunch of GOP guys in there that,
you know, that have the ability to see what can be
unburdened by what has been.
Gosh, that's true.
And when we have those people that have the ability to see what can be, that are unburdened.
Unburdened by what can be or what has been,
then we can be those things beyond what we have been.
Can you tie this point into
both electric vehicles, maybe electric school buses, and Venn diagrams?
Would you mind just doing that real quick?
Yeah, play cut six, please.
A movement that has always been about the ability to see what can be, unburdened by what has been.
So
I'm really excited about this.
Give me clip seven, too, please.
We have achieved a lot.
Carol was so wonderful in her
introduction to list what could be, you know, my husband Doug says we, it's like a CVS receipt.
You know, we could just go on and on with what we've got on the list.
Yeah,
yeah.
What they've accomplished is like a CVS list.
You know, a receipt.
It just goes on and on and on and on.
No, not really.
I don't know about you, but I don't get a very long CVS
receipt.
It just doesn't.
I mean, maybe if you've got some serious, maybe if you're going to CVS to pick up the medication for the president, it does go on and on.
But I really want to live in a world where I'm unburdened by what has been
and have the ability to see what can be.
So let me go on.
Let me go on and on and on here, like a CVS receipt that just never stops and tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
It's Good Ranchers.
Good Ranchers
is wanting to provide you with an Easter ham.
Ham.
Ham.
Ham without an mRNA vaccine.
Right?
Right?
I mean, I like to have the little
mRNA vaccine just, you know, made into a nice like sauce, a sweet sauce.
But I'm going to skip it this time because I'm going to get my meat from Good Ranchers.
And when you're getting Good Ranchers, you're not getting an mRNA vaccine in your meat.
I know, you got to pay extra, I guess, you know, at the grocery store to get that.
Say no to mRNA.
They're having a sale right now.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Let's welcome Congressman Thomas Massey.
Thomas,
how was your sleep last night?
I bet you slept like a baby.
I slept like a baby.
I cried for two hours and I slept for two hours.
Yeah.
I cried for two hours.
I slept for two hours.
Oh, with this omnibus.
Oh my gosh.
First of all, how does your office go through a bill like this?
We call it Control-F.
Control-F, that sucker, which is, you know, hotkey for searching it, finding things in it.
And now, not only do you have to search the bill text, there are addendums that aren't even in the bill that are just as long as the bill that list things like the earmarks.
So you've got to go get other documents to find out what's in it.
Are people going to vote for this?
You know, there's a real question of whether a majority of Republicans will vote for it.
I think almost every Democrat is going to vote for it, and that in itself should be damning.
Some of the earmarks that we see in it are funding venues that have drag shows, drag queen shows that include children, training for how to transition
without consent of parents involved, all the way down to ages 13, proms, gay proms for ages 12 to 18, with rooms off to the side in case it's just too much out there at the prom.
Just crazy stuff in this.
Well, it'd be interesting to see.
What do you think about Johnson's handling of all of this?
I mean, I thought this was what we were fighting against.
Well, you know, he's our general, but I think he's been captured by the swamp.
I don't, you know, we had lots of options here.
We had the thing in law.
It's still in law.
It will be gone after today, but it's still in law.
The 1% automatic cut.
If we just did a CR, if we just did a CR past April 30th, all of the programs get cut 1% and nobody gets an earmark.
That should have been the speaker's default position.
And he should have drugged these SOBs past April 30th and into that condition.
And then he could have negotiated that.
These guys would run over their own mother to get their earmarks.
He could have negotiated some stupid little earmarks to get some border security or something.
Well, speaking of border security, I mean, yesterday was pretty good, right?
I mean,
look at all the young women and families and children that came scuttling across our border yesterday.
I thought they did it with respect,
and especially all those nursing babies.
It's so demoralizing to see people in U.S.
uniforms
being overrun and given terms of engagement that basically say surrender to the invaders.
It was demoralizing for our country.
And it's demoralizing for the troops.
These guys, if you're going to put them in harm's way,
let them do what they're supposed to do and defend themselves.
This is now the National Guard at the border means nothing.
It was a photo op the whole time.
If they can't do what they're supposed to do, then pull their asses out.
And I'm directing that to Greg Abbott.
Yeah, amen.
And we honestly, we should have our own forces there at the border stopping this, but they need to have rules of engagement that aren't, as you said, just photo-op rules of engagement.
It makes our country look weak.
And it just invites more people to come to the border.
Why are we giving, what is it, 500?
How much did I say that was, Stu?
Hundreds of millions of dollars to Jordan and Egypt to be able to protect their borders.
Why are we paying for that?
It makes no sense.
There's also 300 million in this omnibus for Ukraine.
You know, I wanted to have you on today to talk about your resolution, your resolution,
your
amendment that you want to add to the Constitution, which
I mean, it has no chance of passing, Thomas, because there's no common sense anymore.
And the press, I saw
when you
suggested this, I'm all in.
And the press ran headlines like, GOP now wants to control your food.
What?
What?
Or that I'm for Listeria and E.
coli or something like like that.
Look,
what I did is I threw out there a a constitutional amendment and I put a little bit of thought into it because when I the basically a constitutional amendment that guarantees your right to be able to grow food and to purchase food from the sources that you want, because right now we've descended into this corpocracy where four companies control all the meat, a few cooperatives control all of the milk,
we see Amish farmers just living off the land, selling to people, going to jail,
having all of their food confiscated.
Our founding fathers, I don't think, ever contemplated getting to this point.
And so they didn't put this in the Bill of Rights because it was just too obvious.
But I think that's, we need something like this now.
You know, I ran it by Mike Lee before I threw it up there on social media.
I'm looking for a Democrat co-sponsor because I think that's key.
And it's hard to draft a constitutional amendment that doesn't do something accidental.
For instance, my first version of this,
I thought, man, this is great.
And I read it, and I'm like, no, the left is going to say this guarantees everybody's right to food stamps.
And that's not what I want to do.
Jeez.
So this actually stems from this Amish guy who's been arrested, is being hassled by the, I don't know, FDA, FBI, I don't know, some three-letter agency that now thinks that they can go in with a SWAT team to an Amish farmer.
And this is ridiculous.
It's absolutely ridiculous.
It is ridiculous.
And this is, they've harassed him multiple times.
This time, I believe it's over milk sales.
Before, it was over beef.
He's not the only Amish person.
There are other ones who are being prosecuted.
There's a guy, I think it's Samuel Fisher in Virginia, who's being prosecuted.
And so I came up with this amendment, and let me read it.
It's pretty short.
The right of the people to grow food and to purchase food from the source of their choice shall not be infringed, and Congress shall make no law regulating the production and distribution of food products, which do not move across state lines.
It's a very tight and compact amendment, but it covers a lot of things in there.
First of all, I'm trying to basically get the feds out of the meat processing that's local, that's just intra-state.
That's what the second clause is about.
Congress shall make no law regulating the production and distribution of food products.
And, you know, it's a shame I have to do that.
But anyways, we've got this big meat oligopoly that's enabled and enhanced by the USDA, the over-regulation.
They just regulate all the little guys out of it.
But the first clause here, the right of people to grow food, you know, you have a right to political speech, for instance.
Whatever, you know, your city can do an ordinance and whatever, but they can't keep you from putting a sign up in your yard saying who you're going to vote for.
I think you should be able to grow tomatoes without getting thrown out of your house, for instance.
And then, one other thing that this amendment covers,
your ability to purchase food from the source of your choice.
Now, this is the people who bought food from Amos Miller in Pennsylvania, they did cross state lines, but that food did cross state state lines, I'm told.
But
the people who bought it knew what they were buying, and you should never be deprived of the ability to have a contract between two consenting adults to purchase food.
No, no, I disagree with you.
To purchase food, you can have just a contract with one human adult to another human adult.
That's ridiculous.
We need to start mutilating our children without parental consent.
What is wrong with you, Thomas Massey?
We should be focusing on the mutilation of our children and mutilate them some more without any adult supervision at all.
Just the government telling us what to do.
I'm sorry.
I forgot.
I'm sorry.
I forgot.
The key to good health is always multiple vaccines and mind-controlling drugs.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
I've got off the narrative here for a second.
I know.
I have to tell you, when I saw that you said that, you know, you can't do it over state lines, I thought to myself, and maybe Mike talked to you about this.
I mean, you're smart enough to know this is what the commerce clause, this is what threw the commerce clause under the bus, that they regulate all commerce, but it was supposed to be between states, but it happened because of wheat.
And they said, well, you know, that wheat,
its pollen kind of goes in the air and goes across state lines.
So we have to regulate that now so how are you thinking you're going to get this across
well and and this is actually to countermand that horrible supreme court decision where they said a guy couldn't grow his own wheat and feed it to his own animals because if he grew his own wheat he wasn't buying wheat in interstate commerce and so that he was affecting interstate commerce by introducing more wheat into the overall supply even though none of it crossed state lines and so that's what it was you're right yeah and this is to countermand that horrible decision that the Supreme Court made.
And
that's why I said, you know, food products which do not move across state lines instead of saying interstate commerce.
We have to physically say if it's not going across state lines, then it's not state commerce.
And that Supreme Court decision, if people want to look it up, was Wickard v.
Philburn.
Yes.
Wickard v.
Philburn.
That is such, it's been years since I've read it.
That court case changed everything.
And, you know, I don't know if, I don't know if we can get Congress to pass anything
anymore.
But thank you for the common sense on this and the bill.
You're not voting for the bill, right?
Oh, heck no.
By the way, I think it was Mike Lee who suggested I could name my constitutional amendment Roscoe Philburn's revenge.
All right.
Thomas, thank you so much.
God bless you.
Thank you, Glenn.
That would have been a fun, like, M.
Night Shyamalan twist if he voted for the bill at the end of that interview.
He's like, Yeah, I'm totally badass.
No, I mean, what are you going to do?
You know, got to pass it.
So, otherwise, the world melts down.
And I think, by the way, we should know anybody.
I think that was perhaps the nerdiest joke ever made on the show, the Roscoe Philburg reference.
I think that was, and I give, I applaud Thomas Massey.
That is perhaps the
diary today.
I had a chance to use that joke today.
He's been waiting for years.
All right.

I mean, the federal government's doing it well enough on their own.
I don't think they need help anymore.
They have affordable plans for your budget.
They are not sending money to things to destroy America.

I want to tell you about Constitution Wealth.
This is the patriot's choice in wealth management.
And like you might be going through your life avoiding certain products, right?
Like you might not buy Bud Light or stay away from Disney or whatever your choices are.
One thing we don't think about often is what happens with our investments.
And obviously, like your
investment portfolio at retirement is a lot more impactful than
a purchase of a six-pack at 7-Eleven.
So what do you do about this?
Well, one of the things people don't think about is shares, yes, are an investment.
You invest in something, but there's also this idea of voting rights that go along with this.
So if you invest through one of these, you know, left-wing woke ESG type places, even if you're not invested in companies that you want to avoid, they are voting with your shares for you.
You are not making those decisions.
They are.
You need someone who understands this landscape, how to keep you in the investments that you want, and how to influence all these companies in the proper ways.
And Constitution Wealth is the place to do that.
Look, if
you have, let's say, $250,000 or more in investment portfolio, you want to make sure you're doing this consistent with your values, go to Constitution Wealth.

So, you know, the good news is we're moving forward on appointing really smart justices, you know, the kind that can't define what a woman is because they're not a scientist.
Well, the Seventh Circuit judge nominee that Joe Biden has put up is against assault weapons and has, you know,
signed documents about, you know, urging against assault weapons.
Here she is now with Senator john kennedy um
being asked can you define that please said quote assault weapons may be banned because they're extraordinarily dangerous and are not appropriate for legitimate self-defense purposes close quote
tell me what you meant by assault weapons
thank you senator kennedy just to clarify
Just to clarify there, I was local counsel.
Our Supreme...
But you you wrote the brief.
Tell me what you meant by assault weapons.
Senator Kennedy, actually, I did not write the brief.
The brief was written by...
You signed the brief, though, didn't you?
Correct.
I signed the brief.
If you sign a brief, you're testifying to the court that everything in it is true, right?
Yes.
And I booked it.
So they're your words in terms of the court, right?
Well, I...
You're correct, Senator Kennedy.
I would never sign.
Tell me what you meant by assault weapons.
So I am not a gun expert, and at the time that we were thinking about 10 years ago.
You've given the court advice about, say, ban assault weapons.
What is I'm just
you told the court
you were an expert.
Just tell me what you wanted to ban.
Senator, sitting here today,
as I said, I did not write that brief.
I was local counselor.
I'm not signed the brief.
I understand.
At the time.
Tell me what you wanted to ban.
That's all I want to know, Judge.
I don't remember the exact definition of assault weapons in the ordinance that was at issue.
So you submitted a brief to the,
an appellant brief, you signed it,
and you don't know what, and you said a box, assault weapons, and you don't know what you wanted them to abolish?
Senator, at the time that I signed the brief,
I read the brief.
Because our Supreme Court required someone, an Illinois bar member, to sign the brief.
I was not responsible for researching the content.
You were not responsible for the brief.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And sitting here today, I do not remember the characteristics
that were cited in the ordinance for the assault weapons ban.
It's not an area of practice that I have specialized in.
I'm sure if 10 years ago,
I could have answered your question.
And sitting here today.
You think you deserve to be promoted?

Jace Medical is really,
I think they are filling the gap that nobody else has filled and nobody else has really even thought of.

How to make your amputated leg not hurt so much.
You know, eat this.
Okay.
You know, looking for roots and everything else.
If you lose modern medicine because of a supply chain, what happens?
Well, Jace is there to make sure that your family is taken care of.
The Jace case, it's the starter kit, five different antibiotics, the five most essential that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections.
And you can personalize it, and they're adding new medications every day.

Hello, Carol.
Glenn, great to see you.
It's been so long.
Did you miss me?
I know.
I I missed you.
I missed you.
You know, since we last spoke, the border,
the National Guard was overrun by, you know, women and children
or 18 to 24-year-old men at our southern border.
The National Guard, they just broke through.
Also, we have a new spending bill that is giving all kinds of money for like children without underpants.
As long as those underpants have to bind your breast or,
you you know hide your wiener, then the government's going to take you care of you.
That has been 24 hours.
It's insane what's going on.
It is.
You know, one of my favorite comedies of all time is Airplane.
And there's that line, looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
And I feel like
every single week that I write, I look, looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
On top of those things that you mentioned, we also had President Biden saying that he wants to give you a $10,000 home credit to get out of your home and your low interest mortgage, the worst financial advice of all time.
And BlackRock is sending mean letters to Texas.
So
it's been a wild.
Jeez.
Okay, so you brought something to my attention, Jeremy Grantham.
And I don't know much about him.
Other than he's a hedge fund guy, right?
So tell me about him.
So if you're not not within the financial circles, you may not have heard of him, but he's quite legendary within financial circles.
He is a hedge fund manager of a firm called GMO, not the GMOs you're thinking of.
It stands for Grantham and Mayo and somebody else.
And
he has been
sort of lauded for calling all the bubbles.
So he's the one who called the tech bubble and he's called the housing bubble.
Now, to be fair, there's always a bubble.
So he's always calling something and he just kind of sits back and waits and gets that.
But he's been very successful.
And so he himself is a billionaire, which, you know, is great.
It's fine.
If we had normal billionaires, Glenn, I remember a time when billionaires just went off and they bought super yachts and racehorses and hoarded arts and art and just basically left us alone.
But the billionaires don't want to do that anymore.
They think they are very smart.
They've got, you know, did really well in one domain.
And now they have to fix the planet.
And that's why I brought this to your attention, because Jeremy Grantham, many years ago,
started getting into what I would consider climate cultism and decided he was going to, over time, give away most of his billion-dollar fortune to fund climate initiatives.
But he has been coming out lately with these, you know, on podcasts, with pieces actually on their hedge fund website that he thinks that there is going to be utter destruction in the next, you know, know, we have 100 to 150 years to act, he says, but there is a glimmer of hope.
And he says on this piece, the glimmer of hope is a declining population.
He believes if we can get the population down to, now, let's just remind everybody where we are.
We've got about 8 billion people on this planet, and the projections are over, you know, the next however many years, it's going to grow to 10 billion.
He thinks that we really need to get down to 2 billion people on this planet.
So a quarter.
Is that bigger or smaller than eight?
I'm not sure.
I do common core math.
I think it's like a cookie monster, but I think it's about a quarter
we are today.
Okay.
Cookies.
All right.
So
and what does he think is going to cause this?
So basically, and again, this is kind of taking his financial modeling about things coming back to averages and going through all of these kind of permutations.
And so he said, look, there is a finite number of resources.
We cannot have exponential population growth.
We have 100 to 150 years to solve the problem.
But if we could just, you know, get the population down.
Oh, by the way, you know, green energy isn't just going to do this.
Population isn't going to do this.
We have to have a Goldilocks scenario.
So you also have to have what is called degrowth, this degrowth movement, where basically not only does the population go down, but you cut back on your consumption and we go back to living, I guess, like we did in the Stone Ages or something like that.
And if we want to preserve life on Earth, this is really the only way that this is going to happen by this moving in this direction.
And both, by the way, leadership alone isn't going to do this.
We really need to be forceful and let people know you can't have a good time.
You can't have babies.
We just have to let the world go down and be about a quarter of what it is today in the next
100, 150, 200 years, you pick it.
Let's talk about degrowth here for a second, because that's absolutely what is happening.
That's what the experts are doing to us right now.
And are you familiar with, I think it's the Thucydides
paradox.
Thucydides was looking at ancient wars and ancient civilizations, and he himself was ancient.
And he said,
when one power is rising and an old power is falling,
that is the time when there's going to be conflict, okay?
Because one is just going to say, take them, and the other one's still trying to defend themselves.
And so it's a mass slaughter.
And to stop that, the theory is what you need to do when there's a rising power, let's say, I don't know, pick one China,
and a falling power, which just pick one out of, let's say, America,
you dismantle America from the inside.
Make sure that its war machine could no longer fight wars.
Make sure that its economy is crushed from the inside.
So you crush everything
and the rising power helps you crush them to avoid war.
And I think that's exactly what's happening to us right now.
It's just crushing us.
It certainly is consistent with the cycles, which I talk about and you will own nothing.
Ray Dalio talks about in principles, you know, these changing of the guards.
You can't be at the center of power for too long.
And it does happen from the inside out.
And it, like you said, it happens with wars.
It happens with a fighting population.
It happens with too much debt.
All of these things that are rhyming with what is going on today.
And when you have the people who have benefited the most from the system, who have seen the fact that we are living in the greatest time in history, that by using the resources in the way that we have in a clever way and being human beings and being innovative, that we have expanded people's lifespans.
What's been going on on earth has created more prosperity and bigger lifespans, not the opposite.
So all of a sudden say, I'm sorry, but this isn't sustainable.
You guys don't know what you're doing, but I know what I'm doing.
And I think that we need to just have the population fall off a cliff is just, it's amazing to me.
It's Malthusian.
It is Malthusian.
100%.
It's Malthusian.
Yep.
The whole movement is
Malthusian.
Listen, you know, and I know the people who are pushing for AI and making way and trying to prepare our society to take money from the government so we could have everybody on some basic minimum income because all the jobs are going away because of AI.
If you know that much about AI, you know that we don't even have the power grid for AI alone, let alone all the electric cars.
They know that.
They are pushing us into massive poverty.
Yeah, it's so funny that you said that.
I have been thinking how technology really stands at odds with this whole movement.
I mean, if you're talking about depopulation, you have all these tech bros who are trying to extend their lives indefinitely and doing blood swaps and all these weird things.
You have AI, which is, as you said, is going to just consume exponential amounts of power, which is why some of the big guys have started investing, by the way, in nuclear.
power data centers.
They're going back to what many of us have been talking about forever, that that is the future if you want clean energy.
So the idea that you can have the same kinds of people saying, oh,
we have this crisis.
And oh, by the way, we're doing these things that is going to exponentially increase the amount of energy that's being used, not just here in the U.S., but around the globe to a place that we've never seen before, says one of these sides doesn't make sense.
And this is an equation that needs to balance here.
One more thing.
I got to go back to what
President Biden said because I didn't pay attention to this story when it came out.
And if I understand it right,
I don't even begin to understand what you could possibly believe it could do that would be good.
He yesterday proposed a $10,000 tax credit.
So you get $10,000 in a tax credit.
Most people don't.
you know,
don't have $10,000 they're paying in taxes if you're in the low end.
Right.
If you sell your home and then trade your 3.5% mortgage for a 7.5% mortgage.
Right.
Why the hell would you do that?
All right, let me give you the exact tweet.
For homeowners looking for a new place but worried about giving up their low mortgage rate, I'm proposing a $10,000 tax credit if they sell their starter home.
This means more folks can get into houses that suit their needs, unlocking affordable homes for the first time buyers.
Okay, you know how they say, you know, not financial advice.
Don't take financial advice from this president because this is the most insane thing I've ever heard.
If he were a chartered financial analyst, he would have all of his credentials stripped away.
So as you said, let's just say it was $10,000 that they gave you back, not just a tax credit where you only get, you know, a fraction, whatever you're paying.
in taxes and not dollars for life.
But let's just, let's be generous here, Glenn.
Let's just say it was $10,000 and let's pretend that there are no such things as like closing costs on mortgages that would eat up all of that.
The idea that somebody, even if you had a $250,000 left on your mortgage and you're trading 3.5% for 7.5%,
that means that's eaten up in just a little over a year.
So how is that helping you out?
That's basically, and by the way, that's assuming that you could find a house that was at the same level that you were currently used to, which is absolutely insane.
So this is a case of
labor.
It's not like it's a refi either, where you've got 25%
interest rates on your credit cards.
And the balance, if you're maxed out and the balance of taking that down,
then you could make an argument of like, okay, well, maybe in the short term, that's right, because you can get the pressure off.
This does nothing for pressure.
This adds pressure.
This is the opposite.
Either you're getting a less nice house than you already have,
or you're getting something exactly the same.
And then you're trading a huge interest rate.
And we're going to pay for maybe a year of that.
Maybe if you're lucky.
I mean, the fact that you would come out to try to buy votes and try to trick people who probably went, oh, you know, that's a great thing if they had, you know, didn't have any financial literacy.
But this makes absolutely no sense.
Who is tweeting this?
Who is the one who's putting this and saying this is a good policy for the president of the United States to say you can get out of your house, leave your house behind if you can find another one so that you can just be eaten alive by anyone.
Carol.
Yes.
Carol, you know who tweeted it because you wrote the book, you will own nothing.
The people who tweeted that know exactly what they're doing.
They're impoverishing the American people intentionally.
Yes.
So horrible.
Thank you.
So it's just hard to get your mind wrapped around.
It is.
Thank you so much, Carol.
I appreciate it.
Carol Roth, you can get her newsletter and it is well worth the money you pay for it, which is, I believe, zero.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
It's Rough Greens.
Donald wrote in about his dog's experience with Rough Greens.
He said, it's the greatest stuff I've ever.
It's great dog food.
Absolutely wonderful.
He said, I've never seen my dog lick the bowl clean as often as she does.
I think it's a different Donald.
And it's because she's looking for any remaining traces of rough greens.
She loves it that much.
Thank you, Rough Greens.
Not a problem, Donald.
I agree with you.
It's fantastic.
Greatest dog food ever made.
Even though it's not dog food.
You know what I was saying.
No, I really don't.
Naturopathic Dennis Black came up with this.
It's a supplement you sprinkle.
It's the greatest supplement I've ever seen.
There's no supplement like it.

10 seconds station ID.
Oh, gosh.
I can't.
Here's another Democrat.
This is Sherrod Brown.
And why we are paying so much money for our food.
It couldn't have anything to do with money printing or spending.
No.
It's this.
Listen, cut three.
Almost every Sunday after church, we go to a grocery store in the neighborhood.
And I see people all the time who are paying more for their groceries because of stock buybacks and because of bonuses that executives get.
So people know, regardless of who's running for president, regardless of any of those punditry comments, people know that I'm going to stand up and take on interest groups.
Yeah.
Yeah, they know.
When they're standing in line for groceries, they're thinking to themselves, those damn CEOs and their bonuses.
You know what I'm paying for for groceries?
It's those bonuses and the stock buybacks.
No, no, you idiot.
It's not.
I don't think I need to explain anymore, do I?
Should be obvious to everyone.
I don't know that it is, but it should be obvious to everyone.
They're going to do everything they can to try to.
They're not doing the show for idiots.
Yeah.
No, I know.
They're going to try to influence people, though, into believing this nonsense, which is somewhat comical.
But what I'd like try to remind people of is, you know, all the time you put into studying these issues, and then you come up and you formulate your vote, and then you bump into some moron at, you know, at McDonald's, and you just realize that they're going to cancel out your vote.
And that makes you happy.
Wait a minute.
Brighten up your weekend.
Think about the dumbest person you know
canceling out your vote.
Just think of what a wonderful thing that'll be.
So
that should inspire you to just do that.
You know what will inspire you this weekend?
I am doing an interview with Hugh Ross.
He's going to be on in just a few minutes.
Do we have time to play one of these clips?
Probably not.
We're probably
out of time.
No, we don't.
Okay, good.
Well, he is a cosmologist.
At seven, he started reading science books.
By 12, he was reading things that I wouldn't understand, you know, like cat and a hat.
Do you like my new hat?
I don't, I don't know if I like it or not.
Anyway,
he's starting to read stuff about cosmology.
And a cosmology is a look into the past.
You're looking into space.
And so as you're looking into space, you're looking for creation, etc., etc.
He talks about Genesis in a way that I've never heard before.
He shows how Genesis is exactly the way science says the world was created.
And we have a great conversation about the Big Bang and God.
And it's amazing.
You don't want to miss it.
It is available now for all subscribers to Blaze TV.
It'll be available wherever you get your podcasts tomorrow.

Alrighty then.
Let me tell you about the International
Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
Put an image in your mind for a minute.
Your children standing at a corner waiting for the school bus to arrive.
You got it?
Now add in a terrorist,
terrorists who are just about a mile away or so.
They've launched a rocket and it's coming towards your children in the school bus.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a bomb shelter there?
Just a little, kind of like a mini iron dome, if you will, that the kids can get off the school bus and rush in
to the...
the shelter.
Or if they're waiting for the bus to come, that they have a shelter that they can wait in.
Man, I tell you, I'm glad I don't live in Israel because that's the kind of stuff they have to worry about.
And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is providing those bomb shelters for places like bus stops to protect innocent children.
They're $15,000 each.
Can we raise any money to help protect these kids going to school?

We have another
horse on the highway.
Yes, horses on the highway.
This is a horse galloping down I-76 in Philadelphia.
Beautiful race horse.
No idea how it found an on-ramp, but it did.
And that's kind of what the world we live in.
Gee, haven't seen this one before.
Now what I'm going to show you here is
something we haven't seen before, but it's not just a horse on the highway.
It's a horse on the highway with a chimpanzee holding Braveheart's sword on top of the horse on the highway.
This is something you've never heard before.
You remember
the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party-linked company named named Goshen.
We talked about it, I don't know, a while back.
The town council had made some agreement with this Communist Party company, Goshen, to come in and build this huge factory in their town.
Well,
the board didn't actually talk to the people about it.
What they had was a developmental agreement, a development agreement, and it was supposed to be ratified.
But by the time that it came out to the public
and the public heard about it, they kicked and got all of the members off of that board evicted.
They were all recalled.
But now, that's the horse on the highway.
Here is the monkey with the broadsword on top.
So the Communist Party of China is now suing this American township for breach of contract.
So we have the communists suing their way in to a town in America.
Okay.
So what else is new?
Bruce Baker is here.
He is from MiCosta Environmental and Security Alliance.
He's the president of that.
And he has all the details on this.
Wow, Bruce, I've never heard anything like this.
You're right, Glenn.
And thanks, first of all, thanks for having me on the show.
It's an honor to be talking with you, and I appreciate this opportunity to bring this forward.
Thank you.
You're right.
Yes.
You're right, though.
There was a development agreement that was, in my view,
improperly executed between Goshen and the prior, the old township board, in particular, not even really with the board, just with the supervisor, and then attested by the clerk.
And so
what happened was
the township supervisor was working on this development agreement with Goshen, and he brought what was called a first draft of the development agreement to an August 1st meeting of the board.
They discussed the first draft,
but it wasn't complete.
First draft, like a rough draft, not complete.
So the board approved for the supervisor to continue working with Goshen the CCP tied
EV and whatever lithium battery company
to continue working with Goshen to finalize that development agreement and and it wasn't just some small minor
finalizing it was the terms and conditions is what they approved for him to finalize that.
Right.
Okay.
And so, and then obviously, you know, Gwen, you would need, okay, you have a rough or first draft.
They say, supervisor, go finalize it with the company, Goshen.
And then, of course, bring that back in the final version so that the board and the public can review it and so that they can then vote, that the board in a public meeting can vote on it.
That never happened.
Well, I mean, even the communist, even the communist state of Michigan has an open meetings act, don't they?
I mean, where you have to have everything done in public.
Yes.
exactly what it is the open the michigan statute open meetings act requires this is a public body the township board is a public body they're required to have all decisions discussions and votes made in a public forum in a public meeting you know with proper notification all that so what happened glenn is just three weeks after the board told jim chapman the the then supervisor and by the way he was under a recall um process at that time.
He was up.
He was a whole month for recall.
So he's trying to jam this thing through.
And they had lots of pressure on him to jam this thing through.
Why?
Because Goshen wouldn't get $125 million
of Michigan CIP grant money if they didn't have
it in place.
So they knew they had to jam this through before they got pulled, before they, you know, potentially were going to get, you know, thrown out of office, which is exactly what happened.
All five of the eligible board members did get recalled and thrown out of office and replaced.
But anyways, so three weeks, so they reviewed the
first draft of the agreement on August 1st.
And then on August 22nd, Jim Chapman signed a final agreement.
And who was the other signer on there?
Chen Lee, the president of Goshen.
Okay, I believe he's a CCP member himself, or Lee Chen, Chen Lee.
Anyways, he signed it.
Jim Chapman signed it.
The clerk attested to Jim's signature.
So there's three signatures on the document.
But this was on August 22nd.
There was no meeting between, no meeting of the board between August 1st and August 22nd.
And so
that final document never came back to the board.
for discussion, for review, for public comment.
I mean, that's the most important thing.
This is a board that's supposed to be working for the people but instead they do this behind the scenes backdoor deal um to get this thing signed why because there's a lot of money writing on it right and they just want it done you know jim chapman and the old board and uh they they were kind of characterized by not listening to the public they they repeatedly the public asked just do a survey get the public's opinion about this gosh they refused to every surrounding township did surveys regarding this Goshen plant, but Green Charter Township under the old board refused to even do a survey.
All of the surveys, they came back 60, 70, 80%
that they didn't want the Goshen facility here.
And even an outside company came in and did a survey in Green Township, and that came back like 80, 90%.
People didn't want that Goshen plant there.
It's not like a small little band of people who are saying, you know, we don't want this.
It's the vast majority.
but the old board, they had kind of gotten
brainwashed or gaslighted or whatever.
Well, no, they're just
in their heels.
They're just doing it the way, they're just doing it the way China does it, which is, you know, one man, he signs everything, he makes all the decisions.
That's, I mean, that's the way you do it in China.
Why not here?
So, what's going to happen?
They've taken you to court.
What's going to happen here?
Did Goshen get the money from the state?
Okay, so that's a a great question.
They got $23.4, $23.6 million.
So not all of the $125 million.
Okay, so the development agreement was put in place, but I allege that it was improperly put in place.
Okay, it was signed, but we believe that's a void, invalid document.
And so they did get, Goshen received over $23 million to purchase land.
Now, the state of Michigan, if that development agreement is invalid, the state of Michigan holds a mortgage on that land, and they could theoretically claw that land back.
But, anyways, they didn't get the other $100 million yet because they have to hit certain milestones.
But one of those, all of those,
until they hit those milestones, they have to have a development agreement in place.
Otherwise, they're not even eligible.
So, this federal, so the new board, there's a new board
who
is taking steps to
not participate like the old board did, not to be as welcoming as the old board did, because they ran on a no-gauching position.
And so the new board has said, we're not going to support you.
And so now, so, but the development agreement says you have to support us, okay?
And so that's what Ghost is suing over in federal court right now.
They're saying, the new board, you're not supporting us like the development agreement requires you to.
See, the old board was trying to hand-tie the new board.
Fortunately, they really screwed up and they improperly executed that development agreement.
So, in my view, that and many others, a lot of attorneys, a lot of people who know township and open meeting act law have reviewed this, and we believe that that development agreement is invalid.
And really, Goshen, they're bringing it to federal court.
That's the first thing that they're asking the judge to rule on.
Is this development agreement valid or not valid?
And
I, you know, just have to pray that the judge does the right thing, that the judge stands for the people
who were, the people are the ones whose rights were trampled, you know, and by not following the open meetings act.
So that the judge would stand with the people and say that, no, that development agreement is no good.
You've got to go back to the starting board.
Well, I think we're saying the same thing here, Bruce, but I want to make sure.
I don't want somebody that is a judge to standing with the people.
I want him to stand with the law.
And if
this is the way it is, then that's the way it is.
I can't imagine being Goshen wanting to build my plant in a city where it's entirely hostile to me.
Absolutely.
You know, and that's, again, a great point, you know, Glenn.
So Chuck Salem,
so he's, I believe, the VP of Northern American Operations for Goshen.
So he's the highest.
Goshen guy here.
He said at a meeting, he said, well, look, if the, this was earlier on, well, if the people of the area don't want it, in other words, the plan, if they don't want Goshen to build here, we'll just go somewhere else.
Well, it couldn't be more clear that the people of the community do not want this.
I mean, five surrounding townships all came back with surveys that said they don't.
We recalled the entire eligible, you know, the entire board.
You know, because I don't think I've ever seen that happen.
Right.
Right.
And then
other surveys have done.
It's like, we've got, you know, this summer we had hundreds of signs around, no Goshen.
And so it's like, it's really clear that the community, majority, there's a handful, there's some people who are for it because they think that they'll sell land at, you know,
way more than it's worth or they'll it'll prop up their business.
You know, I get that, you know, that's fine.
But most people just don't want it because of the environmental potential, you know, problems as well as the CCP ties.
So anyways,
I'm surprised though that Chuck Salen wasn't more of a man of his word on that because he says, Look, if the people don't want it here, we'll go somewhere else.
Well, clearly, the people don't want it, and they're just digging in their heels and they're just trying to shove it in.
All right.
If you want to help be involved, when does this go to court?
That's not known yet.
I mean, there's
coming up, not known yet, but there's going to be a lot of steps.
We're working right now on declarations, you know, where individuals are signing declarations.
Yeah, and there's a lot of work ahead to do.
We're going to be filing a demand letter.
You know, Mesa's going to be pretty active.
If somebody wants to help you, Bruce, how do they do it?
Well, if they went to our website, and I hate to be that guy because I know everybody's looking for donations,
but we could spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in not just this fight, but other fights against Ocean.
But www.protectmaca.org.
And Macasta is M-E-C-O-S-T-A.
So www.protectmacasta.org.
Or you can just Google Mesa, M-E-S-A, you know, Goshen, Mesa, Michigan, Goshen, and it'll come up because we've been pretty active.
But if you go to our website and donate, we're going to have, we're probably going to end up with hundreds of thousands of dollars of, hundreds of thousands of dollars of legal cost.
And
we needed to do right.
We need to put on the fight.
All right.
Protectmacosta.org.
You can go there and donate if you can, get involved.
This is the first time I've seen a foreign hostile country
take a town in America to court.
to force them to be able to open up a factory from that communist hostile country.
It's insane and can't stand.
Bruce Baker, thank you very much.
It's protectmacosta.org.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
Chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more, can make me feel like a spectator in my own life.
Botox, onobotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine.
It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month.
It's the number one prescribed branded chronic migraine preventive treatment.
Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.
Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.
Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.
Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.
Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck, and injection side pain, fatigue, and headache.
Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.
Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.
Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lugerick's disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.
Why wait?
Ask your doctor, visit BotoxChronicMigraine.com, or call 1-800-44-Botox to learn more.
All right, you sick twisted freak.
Welcome to the program.
Glad you're here.
You know,
can you please stop sending us horses on the highway?
I mean, people are sending in video.
Like,
I mean, okay, this is a horse on the highway.
If you're watching the Blaze, that's a horse on I-76 at full-out gallop, okay?
And this is weird because it's a couple of, it's a horse on the highway, but the highway happens to be I-76 in Philadelphia.
And there's no shivs in the horse.
So I don't even know how it got past the on-ramp.
And traffic is moving.
Traffic never moves on I-76.
That's right.
The other thing I think, you know, especially if you're listening on radio and you've heard the galloping horse many, many times, what you might not understand without seeing it is that it is by the median in between the two lanes.
Like, it's not on the side of the highway or even in the middle of the highway.
It's made its way all the way to the center between the two lanes somehow and it's galloping at full speed.
It's like in the HOV, okay?
Yeah.
And there's no rider.
There's no rider.
And I don't know if they arrested this horse or not, but it's also got the little socks on.
It looks like a racehorse.
It's crazy.
Don't send me any more.
Well, we've got cattle on our street.
Yeah, I've seen that.
I've seen that.
We have buggies on our street.
I know you lit around the Amish.
I get it.
Glenn Beck program.
Having no room
to compromise,
we gotta stay together.
If we're gonna survive,
stay the love straight
and hold the line.
It's a new day,
Welcome to the fusion
of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Hey, good
morning.
It's Friday.
We're glad you're here.
We have an astrophysicist on.
Yes.
Yes.
And I know when you got up today, you were like, you know what?
I'm kind of jonesing for some astrophysics talk.
And I'm like, right?
I'm here for you.
Hugh Ross is on my podcast.
Tomorrow it'll be available for everyone.
It came out yesterday for Blaze TV subscribers.
He is an astrophysicist and he's a Canadian.
Now don't hold either of those against him.
Especially the Canadian thing.
Let's cut him some slack.
But he was smarter than I will ever be at the age of seven.
By 11, he's reading books that I can't even, I don't even think I could understand the title of those books.
He has been studying the cosmos and looking back into history.
That's what a cosmologist does.
They look back into history and they look for the beginnings of creation.
They look for
life.
This is a guy who never grew up around the Bible and said
when he finally heard the Bible and was studying, you know, his astrophysicist books, you know, like, you know, I know what those are.
And he said, the only thing that explains how creation works is the Bible.
And he said, the Bible actually explains the Big Bang.
And the Big Bang, they tried to use that.
The scientists said, no, it can't be the Big Bang
because there has to be creator.
There has to be a creator behind the Big Bang.
That means there's a first cause.
Now the Big Bang is used to discredit religion.
It was actually...
People came up with it who had some religious kind of knowledge and science and went, this is the way it's got to be.
The Big Bang.
Now, the one thing we didn't talk, that's all in the podcast tomorrow.
He takes you through Genesis, and it's unbelievable.
But, sorry, it sounded like Trump.
It's unbelievable.
It's the greatest reading of Genesis you've ever heard.
There's this Mo guy, and he comes out, and he's talking about tablets, beautiful tablets, marble tablets.
But he talks about that.
One thing we didn't get a chance to talk about
was global warming.
So Hugh is going to join.
You see, you thought, I don't need an astrophysicist today.
Yes, you do.
And he's next in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about pre-born.
I knew you before I formed you in the womb.
I set you apart for me before you were born.
I'm pretty sure that's the greatest quote from God.
It's a great quote.
It's a great quote.
He means it when he says it.
You think about that.
He knew us
before we were formed and he set us apart before we were born.
Every single person has a reason to be here.
You have a reason you were born.
There is a reason for your life and a reason for your struggles and everything else.
Don't give up.
Pre-born would like to say that to the moms who come in, about 68% of them, don't want to have an abortion.
They just feel alone and they feel like they have no options.
And they've listened to the lies of the left that that that's not a baby.
That's not a baby.
Yeah, you could very well have a toaster oven.
You watch nine months from now, you could pop out a toaster oven.
We don't know what that is.
No, it's a baby.
And when mom sees the baby on an ultrasound, the chances of life, of her choosing life, double.
Double.
And then when you tell her that, hey, we're going to help you take care of the baby and everything else for the first two years,
you can save a baby's life with 28 bucks just start with the ultrasound it is from pre-born I want you to check them out at preborn.com slash beck pre-born.com slash beck or you can donate right now at pound250 say the keyword baby pound250 keyword baby sponsored by pre-born
hello Hugh how are you doing well thank you
It is so great to meet you.
I think you were in studio last week with me and your podcast has come out.
It is fascinating.
You're a fascinating guy.
But I wanted to bring Stu in because Stu is our,
he's our client.
He's our climate change skeptic.
You know, he, unlike you and me, they just think that this whole thing is a sham.
And you, we were in the hallway afterwards and you, you showed me a book that you have on climate change.
And I, I thought, oh, I wish I would have asked you, come on the show.
So today's the day.
Let's talk about climate change and global warming.
Yeah, well, there is a lot of skepticism about global warming.
I think that skepticism is gone based on some studies that were published a year ago where they basically looked at temperature records not on the continents, but a couple of hundred miles offshore all around the world.
That way you take out the elevation effect.
And you're right at at sea level.
And it basically shows that the climate has been exceptionally stable from 900 AD to about 1950 AD.
Stable to within plus or minus 0.06 degrees centigrade.
It's never happened before in human history.
It's unique to our time.
And that's how we were able to launch technology and civilization at such a rapid rate during that time.
And what it shows is that the natural cycles are cooling the planet.
They've been cooling the planet since about 9,500 years ago.
That's been balanced by human activity warming the planet.
And for 9,500 years, they were in almost perfect balance.
The climate very slowly cooled, but only by one degree over 9,500 years.
What's happened since 1950 is human activity has accelerated, and so it's now superseding the natural cooling cycles, and it's gone up by one degree centigrade in the past 70 years.
And the concern is if it goes up another degree or two, that could melt the winter polar ice cap.
And if that happens, then we bring on global cooling.
That brings on the next ice age.
Right.
So, this, Stu,
see?
I told you global cooling and global warming was real.
Now,
Hugh,
how does this play into humans and what we should be doing?
Do you buy into all of the,
you know, we should put sun umbrellas out
in space?
I don't agree with that.
That's why I wrote the book, Weathering Climate Change, is to make the point we can restabilize the climate while we boost the world economy.
We don't need politicians to get involved because if you give people strong enough economic incentive, they'll do it right away.
And so I load the book up with all these ways that we can substantially boost the world economy while we stabilize the climate and at the same time enhance the world's ecosystems so that everybody wins.
There really are win-win solutions out there.
So give me give me some simple ones that we could do.
Well, a really simple one, and it's already been implemented in the Western nations, is to stop burning coal and burn natural gas instead.
When you do that, you release only about half the greenhouse gases that you do with coal.
There is no particulate manner of pollution.
So
you solve a major health crisis.
In fact, I just wrote an article saying that in parts of India, the life expectancy is shortened by eight years.
That's for 460 million people.
Their life expectancy is shortened by eight years because they're burning coal instead of natural gas.
Well, okay, but wait, hang on just a second.
Hugh, I was just hang on just a sec.
I was with a scientific
eco-guy just the other day, and he said, no, Glenn, natural gas is just as bad.
That's why the government is trying to stop all natural gas as well.
And I'm like, dude, for years you told us it was the cleanest.
Now you're telling us it's deadly as well?
Well, it does release greenhouse gases.
I don't look at natural gas as a permanent solution.
But I think it would bias the time we need to come up with what I think is a great solution, thorium nuclear reactors.
Thorium nuclear reactors are not like uranium nuclear reactors.
The The radioactive waste is safe to handle after 100 to 200 years instead of 50,000 years.
It's impossible to have a meltdown.
You can't use it to make nuclear weapons.
And it delivers 300 times the energy that you get from uranium.
And thorium is three times more abundant.
It actually has the potential to deliver electricity for us for much less than what we get from water power, which is currently the cheapest source of
energy we have on the planet.
But it's going to take at least a decade to scale it up to where it could supply all of our energy.
Natural gas will buy us that time.
And in the meantime, it cuts greenhouse gas emissions by about a half.
It's the fastest way we can lower greenhouse gas emissions.
I mean, the problem with solar and wind, it's going to take time to scale it up.
And solar and wind also have ecological consequences that you don't get with thorium.
And so I'm noticing.
I mean, hang on just a second.
You say it's going to take 10 years to ramp this up.
I've never heard of thorium.
I've never heard of a thorium nuclear reactor.
I think it might take a little longer because nobody is talking about that, Hugh.
Well, they are now.
Because, I mean, for example, India is facing a major health crisis.
As I said, the life expectancy is now 12 years less if you live in Delhi, eight years less if you live in the Ganges Valley.
For the country as a whole, it's five years less.
And then, by the way, coal is more expensive than natural gas.
And so,
and India actually sits on a lot of thorium.
And incidentally, we had thorium nuclear reactors in the 1960s.
The reason why we didn't scale them up back then, you can't use them to make nuclear weapons.
But now that's considered an advantage.
We could actually give nuclear reactors to rogue countries and not worry that they're going to use it to make nuclear weapons.
I have a woman on next week's podcast.
She's amazing.
She's this entrepreneur.
She's a black woman from Africa.
And I'm trying to remember what country in Africa.
And she moved to the West when she was young.
And the first thing she thought was, why do they have all of these things that we don't have in Africa?
And one of the things is because you don't have energy.
You know,
you're still burning wood to cook your food.
And
she thinks it's a little racist of people to tell the continent of Africa, you can't have power because of global warming.
So you're going to be stuck there.
And we talked about nuclear power.
Nuclear power, hydrogen,
those are the things of the future, I think, natural gas even, but now that's on the no-no list.
But I don't think, Hugh, that there's there's a lot of people that are in a part of this movement that are not political now.
And it's all about pushing ideas that are very, very expensive, will cripple everything,
and
wouldn't work.
Well, you know, if you try to get people to sacrifice their standard of living, they're going to find a way to cheat.
And if they don't, somebody else will.
So that's why I'm convinced we have to give people a strong economic incentive.
You mentioned Africa.
The Sahara Desert has been expanding because people have been stripping wood off the edge for fuel.
How about giving the Africans all the kerosene they want for free on the promise that they'll work with us to shrink the Sahara Desert.
At the time of the Roman Empire, the Sahara Desert was one-tenth the size that it is today.
If we were to shrink it, number one, it would provide an economic income because they could grow grain in what is now the Sahara Desert.
It would soak up greenhouse gases, so it would help stabilize the climate.
And again, everybody wins.
The ecosystem would recover.
They'd have an income they don't have now.
And we pull greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.
So we could do the same
thing here in North America.
Yeah, go ahead.
I just, and I've only got about a minute left, but I grew up hearing that we breathe out CO2, and the trees breathe it in, and they breathe out oxygen, and we breathe in oxygen, and it was kind of the circle of life thing.
How come we're not really
standing on that anymore?
When did it become such a problem that it
was killing everything?
Well, I'm advocating that we let lumber companies go into our national parks and selectively harvest the big old trees because they don't pull many greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.
They're in danger of dying and decaying and releasing greenhouse gases.
Replant them with young trees.
They'll pull greenhouse gases at a factor of two to four times more.
The ecosystem will recover because that's healthier for that.
And
we won't be seeing a lot of dead trees in the national forest.
You won't have forest fires.
Right.
But they are now closing all of that off.
I mean, there are common sense solutions to everything,
and we don't seem to hear about them very often.

Hey, there is something happening in Tennessee that I want you to be
aware of.
Jason Whitlock, who works with us at the Blaze, he is,
I mean, he's a sports guy who is also a religious guy who just kind of woke up to everything everything that's going on in the world and has renewed himself to the things that matter.
And he's been watching the world and he knows what we all know.
We're not going to make it without men.
And men are being devalued in our country.
And what does it mean to be men?
To be some macho guy?
No, no, just to be a biblical man.

Jason's going to be there.
The North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson is going to be there.

So go there now, and I guess I will see you there on June 1st.
Nobody tells me anything.
Nobody, nobody, Stu.
My understanding was this is
a gathering of real men.
So why would you,
what would be the purpose of you
attending?
See, now if you think your day can't go from bad to worse, there it is.
There's an example.
It happened to me in 30 seconds.
Yeah.
Bad to worse.
There you go.
Bad to worse.
It'll be great.
It'll be great.
I'm sure you'll do a great job.
You can talk to the whole audience about the male benefits of chitty chitty bang bang and various
Broadway extravaganzas that you can go through, your love of costuming and cinema.
I mean, it'll be a, wow, what a,
what a, what a, what an event it's going to be with Jason Whitlock and then you.
I mean, it's going to be great.
I will tell you, the,
I will tell you, the costume here for Braveheart, those little skirts they made, they looked very rugged, they looked time-appropriate.
We could talk about that.
That way, I'm talking about costumes and Braveheart.
There you go.
That's that's your only commentary on Braveheart.
I like the skirts.
I love the skirts.
I wish we could wear them.
We can wear them now.
Oh, that's great.

Once upon a time, mankind did not know how to properly make sheets.
No, no.
They tried paper for a while.
They tried asphalt.
They were like, no, we should drive on that when we invent cars.
But they didn't know how to make sheets.
So the peasant to the wealthiest king usually slept on a box of staples.
It was not comfortable.
Then one day, my pillow came around and they were like, we're making pillows and they're great.
We should probably make a sheet to go with it.
So you're not sleeping on a very comfortable pillow and a box of staples.
So they came out with the sheets and they are Giza Dream Sheets.
Hallelujah.
The world rejoiced.

No, they didn't.
For a while, everybody walked around with clamshells strapped to their feet.
Then came My Slippers.

They're all on sale.

So,
you know,
I turned 60 a couple of weeks ago, and
I think this is a rule somewhere that if you're over 60, you have to watch Monk.
And
so I started watching the first couple episodes.
I was like, oh, I kind of like this.
It's kind of funny, you know.
And then I got into it, and I thought, no, I'm not old enough to watch this yet.
It's kind of like Matt Locke.
In fact, it's exactly like Matt Locke if he were germaphobic
and didn't have the southern accent.
So
if you didn't like Matt Locke, no matter how old you get, you don't have to watch Monk.
You don't.
So the germaphobia is not enough of a remix to bring you to the table?
No, no.
No, it's really not.
I'm sad.
It's really, really not.
Now, I am watching something on Netflix that I think is really good, and that is The Gentleman.
Have you heard about this?
I have only vaguely.
Isn't it?
It's Guy Ritchie, right?
Wasn't it based on a movie he did?
That I don't know.
Okay.
I think there was a Guy Ritchie movie called The Gentleman.
Is this correct?
No, no one knows.
Okay.
But I thought it was a good one.
I think there was.
I think there was.
And it was a Guy Ritchie.
And did it have somebody like Liam Neeson in it or somebody?
2019 film.
Yeah, but it's not that.
It's not the same.
Matthew McConaughey.
I think it's based.
I think it's in that universe, I believe, is the only thing I've heard really about it.
But I don't know much of the story.
What is it about?
Yeah.
So it's about a guy who is, you know, a blue helmet,
you know, UN soldier.
He's off some godforsaken place, you know, trying to bring peace and, you know, deny that all of the other troops are raping children.
And then his father dies and he's very wealthy and he becomes the Duke.
So he goes back and he becomes the Duke and he finds out that under the land that the family has owned for 500 years is the largest marijuana growing plant in England.
And so
he didn't know it.
And so he's in bed with the mob
and
with the pot plants underneath.
And
it's just very, very, it's very funny,
very quirky.
I really liked it.
You haven't seen it.
Sarah, have you seen it?
Only the first episode.
Only the first episode.
And that sounds like a raving review from you.
I just like the main actor.
He's definitely a gentle in the eyes.
I think I threw up a little bit in my mouth.
Just a little bit.
Yeah, but
do you like the quirkiness of it?
And it's so different than anything else.
It's so very different.
I really enjoy Guy Ritchie in general, but this, I'm excited to see the rest, even though you totally ruined the whole story for me.
That's revealed in the first episode.
You still ruined it.
Glenwell cannot talk about a film or a show without ruining it for everybody.
How do you, when somebody says, what's it about?
What am I going to say?
It's about a UN soldier stopping traffic, and then something happens.
See?
That's the opening scene.
I will say, anything with Guy Ritchie, it can't be ruined for me because I can never understand anyone speaking in anything that he does.
Because he's got these people with really thick British accents to the extent that I can't understand what they say.
Like Cockney accents.
Yes, like super far beyond.
I believe you could understand someone who speaks like this.
Right, but it goes.
You just have a problem with the.
Yeah, like when they go...
It's like the, you know, it's obviously authentic to the story that they would be, you know, have, they wouldn't be speaking the Queen's English.
But it gets to the point where I can't even, like, I'd rather watch a movie in like Indian with subtitles because then I would have a better chance of actually understanding what was going on.
But
they don't subtitle English for some reason.
There's talking to you.
They do.
They talk.
Jeez.
Oh, my God.
You're a pig.
Yeah.
I refuse to be.
I refuse to have you sexualize all men.
Anyway, we're more than just meat, Sarah.
Oh, don't worry.
You're not included in this.
All men is not a problem.
I was going to say, yeah, this is meat and a lot of marblization in this case.
Yeah,
I watch everything with subtitles now because I'm deaf.
Could it be because you've had headphones in your ears for 50 years?
Yes.
And now you can't hear me.
For 50 years, cranked at, you know, 10.
And so I can't hear.
So I, you know, I don't want to be that guy.
And I already am that guy, where my wife walks in and goes,
Can we turn this down a bit?
I think we need to get Glenn the headphones that you wear while you're sitting on the couch that like broadcast the TV just to you, and like the old, like when you're like 85, you get them.
That would be great.
That would be great.
That's a good sponsorship for you, Glenn.
This is, I think we've got some.
I want the glasses that also turn into the telescope.
Have you seen that one?
No.
Where they're glasses, these reading glasses, and you adjust it on the side and it like zooms in.
I doubt those actually work, but I kind of want them because
I'm now in the market.
I guess I'm of the age where I need a walk-in tub.
I'm looking at the dialogue from this, from the movie, The Gentleman,
which
this one stood out to me.
This does look promising.
So it's between two people, Ernie and Coach.
And Ernie says, did he just call me a black C word?
And it's the worst C-word you can think of, by the way.
And there's a couple C-words I can't say, but the worst one.
And coach says, Yes, he did.
Ernie says, He can't do that.
That's racist.
Coach, but
you are black, and you are a C-word, Ernie.
Those are the facts.
I don't think primetime cares what race you run in.
Ernie, the fact that I'm black has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a C-word.
Wait, he did not say black people were C-words, Ernie.
He was being specific to you.
One has nothing to do with the other.
I mean, that does sound pretty freaking racist.
It's really good.
It is really, really good.
By the way, I think that word, because I work with somebody from Scotland
who uses that word a lot.
And I'm so offended by that word.
But he uses it.
He told me, he said, I had no idea until
I was really close to my girlfriend, now his wife.
He said, and, you know, we'd have these long distance calls.
And he said, I called her the sea word and she just burst into tears.
And he's like, what, what the hell just happened?
And he had no idea, no idea that that's how we look at it differently here.
That's what you just say, you know, that's what you just call like you,
you, if we were in Great Britain, you would be Captain Seaward.
Right.
In my mind.
Thank you.
By the way, thank you for that.
But like, what does it mean?
Like a jerk, basically?
Like,
what's
like definition of it when you're using it in the sky?
Yeah, like no English too.
Just like, you know,
you jerk.
Yeah.
It's like that.
You know, you silly jerk.
It's weird.
It doesn't mean what it means here.
And I had that conversation with him before I introduced him to my wife.
Remember your experience.
Do not call my wife that.
Yeah.
No matter how silly you think she might be.
She's a silly jerk.
Don't summarize that.
The word silly syllables does not.
The word silly does not lessen the impact here in America.
Yeah.
And I will say this, Glenn,
we now know that translation difficulties like this are the cause of so many of our conflicts today.
You know, from the river to the sea actually is an aspirational phrase.
That means we love all Jews, which we're learning now
from Sheeta Tlaib.
So I think I mean no, it doesn't.
She did not try to say that, did she?
She said it was, was it was her, right?
She said it was an aspirational phrase.
Or was it Elon Omar?
Yes.
And wait, wait, wait.
It is an aspirational phrase.
It is.
If your aspiration is to kill all the Jews.
Like final solution.
No, you don't understand.
That's an inspirational phrase.
It's an aspiration for us to have a final solution.
Yeah.
Yeah, Talib said the phrase is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence.
I mean, this is like
from the river to the sea.
What do you think that means?
What river and sea are you talking about?
Where are the Jews between the river and the sea?
Oh, it's coexistence.
It's peaceful coexistence.
There's no Jews in between the river and the sea, which is all of Israel.
But we want to coexist with them.
Right.
They just need to be someplace else.
It's funny.
You listen to
the people who say this try to defend these statements, and that's kind of what they get to eventually.
We're not saying we want to kill all the Jews.
We just want them all removed from here.
You can, if you want them in Mongolia or Antarctica, Antarctica's like empty.
They can have all of it.
You put them all down there.
It's totally fine.
From the river to the sea, it's just this little patch of land.
It's all we want, Jew-free.
We promise.
Like, this is their defense.
Look, look, all we want is the river to the river.
Well, which river are you talking about?
Jordan.
Where's the other river?
No, it's Jordan.
We just want it from the river all the way around back to the river.
They can live anyplace else.
We have this big solar eclipse coming up.
Why not check out the moon?
We'll just launch them all into space.
If we do the Jews in space plan, I have been promising for so many years, this problem will be solved.
Yeah, we wouldn't have a problem with all these Jews if there weren't just so many Jews.
All right.
Wow, that's incredible.
All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
It's Car Shield.
I have Car Shield up here at the ranch and the farm because we have trucks, and I do not want to buy a new truck.
Stu.
Have you ever looked at the price of a new truck, like a nice truck?
Well, you know, one that works all the time?
It can get get a little pricey, Glenn, but the good thing is you're only paying 12.9%
interest on the loan.
So
it's right, and you're getting almost 12 miles a gallon.
So it is good.
It's great.
Anyway, I don't want to buy a new truck.
I want these trucks to drive until the doors fall off.
Then I might put some, you know, some Visqueen there.
Ooh, Visqueen, that sounds great.
Right there
on the door.
So I don't have to buy a new door even.
Car Shield is helping make my dream come true of never having to buy new trucks.
They have saved my bacon a couple of times
by
actually covering the fixes that were needed for my truck.
And unfortunately, one time I think it was a chip and just the chip was five or six grand.
I mean a truck wasn't worth, don't tell them this.
Truck wasn't worth five or six grand anymore, especially without the chip.
But Car Shield took care of it because it was one of the covered costs.
They cover over 5,000 major parts and systems.
And so get this.
If you are trying to save money, if you know that your car is going to go down because it's out of warranty, get CarShield.
They have coverage that will fit your budget.

This is the Glenn Beck program.
Program.
All righty.
All righty.
Let's see.
What do we have that we have to cover yet?
I'm going to do a show on Blaze at 5 today, or maybe it releases earlier than that.
So
the Friday, just, you know, just we're just going to chit-chat a little bit.
You know, going to be great, beautiful.
And
I'm going to talk to you about this.
Do we have that picture of the altar?
Look at that.
So, do you know what that is, too?
No.
That is the altar that has been built to take the red heifers up in Israel and sacrifice them.
Ah, yeah.
It's like a concrete sort of ramp up to a platform.
And this means when this happens, remind people what this means again?
Well, it means they can purify
the temple grounds.
They can purify the temple workers.
They can purify Israel.
This is the first step in rebuilding the third temple.
In the Bible,
the tenth red heifer,
which this would be, the tenth sacrifice,
is the sign of the messianic era.
So this is the Jews.
This is the Jewish people
who really actually still believe their religion and practice their religion sacrificing the red heifer to bring the messianic age
here.
So that's good.
That's great.
You know, it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out, Glenn.
It is.
You just have to make it through the first seven years.
That's, I mean, that's the thing.
If you could just make it the seven years, I think they're going to be your groceries might be a little more expensive during the tribulation.
I'm thinking.
I'm thinking that's what it's going to be like.
You know, you think it's bad now.
Wait until you see the price of groceries right before Jesus comes, you know.
But
we can handle it.
it.
So enough red heifer talk.
You think?
I mean, we.
Well,
I mean, you've really, you're cutting people short.
They've been the red heifer thing, you actually posted this online and it's begun very viral.
It's interesting to see what pops off on the internet.
I have no concept as to what causes it.
You know, what, what?
No, I have no idea.
I have no idea.
Like, for example, we did a
interview with you every week.
And every week you come on and you say this, you know, we blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I have no idea even what you're saying.
Most of the time, not even listening.
But you're on the show, you're on Studios America, and we put out a clip of what you say, blah, blah, blah, every week, you know,
whatever.
And, you know, they do, the clips do okay.
And then the one we did this week just,
I don't know.
It took off.
It has, you know, hundreds of thousands of views or whatever.
It was about.
What did we talk about?
It was a clip.
Because I don't listen to me either.
I'm just usually on going blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So I don't know what I said.
This is why I don't understand the internet.
And I will never understand it.
And people, this is why Mr.
Beast is the one who's doing well, and I don't know how to, I don't know how to do it at all.
But like,
it was a clip of you.
Haven't built a single well in Africa, have you?
Not one.
Not one.
So it's a clip of you talking about Ken Paxton
about an interview you did
on
our radio show and reacting to it.
So the radio shows.
Same as the Red Heifer.
Yeah, right.
Like the Red Heifer thing was crazy.
Same as the Red Heifer.
Yeah.
So the radio show itself that the interview was on
performed normally.
The show that I did, Studos America, that interview with you about the other interview, that one performed normally.
But the four-minute clip of you talking out of that show, that one went like 10X for whatever reason.
Why?
Because people are like, I can't watch the whole show.
I just want a little snippet.
I can only take about four.
I'll have four minutes of Glenn.
The Glenn Beck Program.
