Well, thank you very much.
Hillary, I want to talk to you about Grip Six.
You have worked hard for the money that
you have.
And if you're like me, you want every single dollar to go to something that is helping America.
And there's things that you have to buy and you want to buy.
And can you buy?
a great product made here in America.
Well, Grip Six is there.
This is a company that started in a garage
actually as a favor to a friend.
They were going to, he was looking for a new wallet or no, new belt.
And this friend had made this amazing belt.
And he said, yeah, I'll make one for you.
Before you knew it, it caught on.
Now he's making belts.
Then he was making really different and great wallets.
Now they're in the sock business as well.
Everything is made here in America.
For instance, all the cotton grown by ranchers here in America.
And then it's all culled by Americans and then spun by Americans, made into socks by Americans by America.

What you're about to hear
is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Well, hello, you sick freak.
Welcome to the program live from St.
George, Utah, where our Blueprints of Liberty, the museum is happening.
We'll talk about that, some of the people who have gone through it already this hour.
And
travel.
I know I'm asking people to travel to St.
George to come see this museum, but apparently travel is going to be a thing of the past.
And if you think I'm mad, wait until you hear the evidence that is now starting to trickle out into the mainstream.
This time,
a propaganda piece against travel from the New Yorker.
We go there next.
First, let me tell you about Life Lock.
If you think you're excited about new technologies, you're not going to believe how happy cyber criminals are.
AI assistants are now being used to create authentic sounding messages and contents
used in phishing campaigns.
Do you know that now AI
only needs three seconds of your child's voice to be able to recreate your child's voice?
If your kids are on social media and they're putting videos up of them, this is the latest thing.
They are now saying people are being kidnapped, etc., etc.
And your kid will call you, mom, I need help.
And you'll do whatever they say because you think your daughter or your son has been kidnapped.
All kinds of things are happening now online and people want to take what is yours.
Cybercrime is a real problem and nobody can stop it all because it's morphing all the time.
But Lifelock by Norton, I think, is one of the best.

Let's say hello to Stu.
Good morning, Stu.
How are you?
Very well, Glenn.
How are you?
Oh, my gosh.
Just fabulous.
There's nothing like days and days of four hours of sleep to get somebody just focused.
Yeah, because you and your health.
It'll be an interesting show today.
You and your health have been known to be tip-top, even with full nights of sleep.
So I'm sure four hours is going really well.
But the museum opened yesterday.
We put, I think, 1,100 people through.
Tickets are sold out.
The great thing is, is that we are opening it up for more people because we can put more people in than we thought.
We wanted to make sure that it wasn't too crowded and it's really, really great.
So if you want, walk-up tickets may be available.
Or you can just go to unitedwepledge.org and get your tickets.
We're here until July 4th in St.
George, Utah.
More on that coming up in just a second.
As I was saying, travel is going to be a thing of the past.
I was just in London and Scotland
two weeks ago.
I don't even know when.
Time is just going by.
But I was there a couple of weeks ago and
my travel.
guy, my travel companion and travel agent, he was giving us tours.
His name is Michael O'Fallon.
He's amazing.
And he does tours all around the world, usually for very large groups.
And we were talking while we were going through and he said, you know, the United Nations sustainable goals are to make sure that we're not traveling anymore.
And I said, what do you mean?
And he said, you should see Europe now while you can.
Again, what do you mean?
He said, well, you know the carbon rules and we're going to go to carbon zero.
And we started talking about the sustainable goals that are in Europe where cars, there will be no combustion engines definitely for sale by 2035.
No combustion engines on the road, period, by 2050.
That's their goal.
And we are locking ourselves into it.
And what they're doing is they are actually
getting rid of any way to go back on this.
For instance, everybody, you just use common sense.
We don't make enough electricity to be able to have everybody to have an electric car.
There's just the power grid alone cannot handle it.
We would have to redo the entire power grid for that kind of load.
Good news, we're also getting rid of air conditioning.
So maybe that will balance things out.
Of course, then you'll get rid of the gas stoves and any gas-powered anything, natural gas, gas heating.
This week in New York, they're now banning
wood-fire ovens.
So if you wanted a wood-fired pizza, sorry, not going to get it anymore.
Bad for the environment.
So we were talking about the air travel and
the air travel
on the documents, and I tweeted it out last week.
maybe we can do it again.
The sustainable development goals show that air travel, it's kind of an interesting chart, and it shows things being diminished until they get to zero on some categories.
Travel is one of them.
There will be no travel unless it is mass travel on trains.
Easier for
Europe.
Impossible for the United States.
But they are now closing or preparing to close all airports except for Heathrow and Glasgow.
So Gatwick's going to be closed.
All of the other, I should say, all of the other public airports.
I am sure the private airports will be open for the personal jets, for the elite.
So we're talking about this, and I said, what is it going to do to your industry?
And he said, we're already being affected because you have to play along
or you aren't going to survive.
And one of the things that he's telling me that they're doing in these big conventions for,
you know, travel agents and travel services is they are talking now about you got to get into the virtual reality space.
You got to start doing that.
Now, listen to this article.
It just came out from the New Yorker.
What is the most
uninformative statement that people are inclined to make?
My nominee would be, I love to travel.
That's uninformed.
I love to travel.
This tells you very little about a person because nearly everyone likes to travel and yet people say it because for some reason they pride themselves both on having traveled and on the fact that they look forward to doing so.
She's now this is the New Yorker, you know the magazine with the cartoons, even the people who made the cartoons don't understand
It's so she's she's talking to the elite group and she is setting the table now as a snob to say you know you think you're a snob because you like to travel.
Oh, I was just over in Paris the other day She's saying that shows that you're ignorant You're kind of out of the cool kids club.
The opposition team is small but articulate and she goes through some, you know, G.K.
Chesterson and
Emerson, etc., etc.
She said, but there is a wonderful, wonderful hater of travel, the Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa, whose wonderful book, The Book of Disquiet, cackles with outrage.
I abhor new ways of life and unfamiliar places.
The idea of traveling nauseates me.
Oh, let those who don't exist travel.
Travel is for those who cannot feel.
Only extreme poverty of the imagination justifies having to move around to feel.
Are you kidding me?
This is putting the entire idea.
What have they always said to us?
Americans don't understand because they don't travel, because they're on the other side of the earth from the continent where real culture is.
Now they're telling, now they're starting to lay the seeds that you're ignorant if you want to travel.
My friend wrote to me
as I was
noticing this article in the New Yorker, and he said,
told you.
I'm like, yeah, I know, I know.
I hate it when somebody is right on something so dark.
He said,
I read the article.
She writes a poetic postmodern piece to provide some romantic notion that you shouldn't travel.
He said, but Glenn, believe me, this will catch on and the area of sustainable travel and hyper-real thing
travel experiences will begin.
If you choose to visit London as opposed to saving the earth, you will have a
destructive boomer mentality.
Soon with ESG metrics in place, traveling will be considered harmful and sinful, and in the age of CBDC, central bank digital currency, penalized in many cases if the algorithm believes that you have traveled too much.
Local airports are going to begin to shut down.
Regional airports with far less capacity will become the norm.
Train travel will be permitted as long as the trains are operating with net zero efficiency.
Of course, none of this has to do with preserving the environment.
It has everything to do with keeping you in your 15-minute city and in your fractured affinity-based autonomous zones.
Remember those?
Chas from Seattle?
This will eventually change as pressure from globalized interconnected states and regions put the squeeze on the utopian feudal communities.
So many seem to want to rush into it nowadays.
This doesn't end well
as we break the spell and explain that nearly every travel-oriented airline, hotel, cruise line, rental car, train corporation is now controlled by BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street.
And they are all in this, and all of the companies they own are in it due to coercion.
Millions of jobs will be lost in travel, and those who have travel-related industries, If you're in the travel community, you better speak up and better speak boldly.
If you're somebody who has benefited from travel, you need to speak up and speak boldly.
Most people think that this is
crazy.
And I am the first to tell you, it is.
It is crazy.
The people that are behind all of this are the global elites.
And they are very out in the open.
I'll tweet the documents out to you to show you this is a well-thought-out plan at governments of many levels and on many continents.
We're one of them.
And their intent is to create a feudal system.
We're going back to
serfdom and we will be serfs.
That's why you will own nothing.
It's really important to understand why did America become the place everyone wanted to go?
It's because
people, I think we've overused the words liberty and freedom.
They came here for opportunity.
The opportunity that freedom and liberty provide.
Liberty and freedom, you say those words and people are like, yeah, yeah, I know, freedom, but we should shut those people up over there.
No.
We can't do that because that limits the opportunity for growth.
You can't grow.
If you're surrounded by like-minded people, you're going to keep coming up with the same crap.
And if you are part of a problem, you've created the problem, and all the people around you are saying the same thing and like-minded, you're never going to be able to solve the problem.
That's why opportunity exists.
For two reasons.
One,
people felt free to argue back and forth and say, no, I don't think that's the right road.
You know what?
I'm going on my own and I'm going to build something better.
That propelled us forward.
The other thing is, for the first time in America, you could go someplace and you didn't need to be a member of a guild.
You didn't need to be
a Freemason because you were a stonemason.
You didn't need to have degrees.
You didn't need to pass through someone else's portal who was filtering people.
If you wanted to do it, you could do it.
No matter who calls you crazy.
Now you might lose, you might end up losing everything, but you were willing to take that chance back in the day because it was the only place you could take a chance.
And if you won,
you got to keep the ideas.
and you got to keep the spoils.
You had to hold the risk and you had to pay for it if you lost, but if you won, it was yours.
That's why we never, that's why we
had fire in caveman days and we were still cooking over fire when the founders showed up.
And then what happened?
We went from fire to moon travel in 150 years.
Why?
Because people were incentivized.
They were incentivized.
Wait a minute.
I have an idea.
And they knew they could change change their station, their life, and their family's life forever if they had a great idea and it worked.
That's opportunity.
That's what people want.
We're going back to serfdom, where our overlords will keep us on land and in buildings and in homes that we don't own.
Back in just a minute.
Yesterday, I was wearing my slippers all day because
they were actually
just as comfortable as my shoes in a really, really uncomfortable place.
Downstairs where I am right now is the museum.
It's 12,000 square feet of concrete floors.
Also, we're at a higher altitude than I'm used to, and that causes inflammation.
And then pounding on that floor all day for 18 hours, the last four days, I could barely walk.
Put my MySlippers on yesterday.
It was delightful, delightful.
My pillow sells them.
And I have to tell you, I have a friend who is a slipper prepper.
I talked to him about it.
I said, I got to get some more of these because I want to make sure I could get them.
And he said, oh, I'm a slipper prepper.
And I said, what the hell is that?
And he said, I'm afraid they'll stop making them.
And so every quarter I buy the limit of slippers.
I've got boxes boxes of them.
I'm like,
you might have some issues that you should talk to a doctor about.
But anyway, MyPillow, go to mypillow.com.
They have a massive closeout on sale right now with their famous slippers.
Use the promo code Beck.
You'll get the all-season slipper for $25.
Really, really great.
Usually $150.
They're $25 right now.
There is a limit of $10 for you preppers.
But you can get them now at mypillow.com.
Promo code Glenn.
10 seconds, station ID.
You know, Stu, the most insidious thing that I think our government is doing and the governments of the world is they are throwing around the words conspiracy theory.
When you have the evidence
of these organizations that are are private public partnerships with the governments of the world
and they are producing all of these documents and then they are they are explaining all of it out front with all of the politicians of the world and the most powerful richest people in the world to say that it is a conspiracy theory just isn't good enough if you actually
If you actually want to do these things, you should be out in the open, which they are.
But once people start talking about it, they immediately say it's a conspiracy theory.
Why do they do that?
They do that to buy time.
They know you're going to figure it out, but they buy time.
It was Larry Fink, I think, a couple of days ago that was talking about ESG and how it has been so politicized and now everybody's against it.
So I'm not talking about ESG anymore.
I guarantee you what they're going to do is just change the name to again buy more time.
People have got to pay attention and they've got to act when
it's early enough to make a difference.
That's true.
And I think part of the design of all of these plans is the knowledge that people will not pay attention.
Right.
I mean, sir, sure, maybe people in this audience will pay attention.
Maybe some people around the country will, but 90% will not.
And when you have that knowledge going in, you know that you can probably get away with these things for a long time.
I mean, how many times have we seen this pattern before where people,
they launch these ideas, they launch them with great fanfare as if they're the most wonderful thing in the world.
You will own nothing was not said in a secret tape, right?
Like that was said as something we should be looking forward to, a promotional ad for this future.
And then it becomes a conspiracy theory, which seems impossible to pull off on people, but people are distracted.
They have their own set of problems going on in their lives.
And many of them don't care at all to find out if these things are true.
And you hear conspiracy theory and people shy away.
They want to get to the other side.
But the bottom line, at the end of the day, this is a pattern that they've known to exploit and they continue to do it over and over again.
So here's the good news.
I was talking to a guy who was former Special Forces here in St.
George at the museum.
And he was a little depressed on things.
You know, when are people going to wake up?
And I said, you know, it was 20% of the population that was for the king.
It was 20% of the population that was against the king and we're with the founders.
The rest were exactly like they are today.
I don't know, just leave me alone.
I just want to go to work.
Please, just leave me alone.
It takes a dedicated 20% of the population.
The question is, are we dedicated to saving and preserving this republic and using our intelligence, not our guns or not our threats, but our intelligence to save the nation?
I think
we're almost there.
The Glenn Beck program.
Let me tell you about good ranchers.
There is a nasty rumor floating around that I don't ever work out.
But man, if this wasn't radio, you could see I am just ripped.
I work out so much.
And I also need all that protein.
I pump iron just about every day.
You know, depending, and it's about usually about 12 to 16 ounces.
I put it on my spatula and I,
I just lift that thing and then flip it over.
And it's tremendous workout.
And there's a bonus at the end.
Burgers, steaks, chicken, it is all from Good Ranchers.
Good Ranchers is an organization that
I just love these guys.
They are trying to do the right thing by getting you 100% American meat that's really, really good.
Plus, they are locking in a price because inflation is going to go up and up.
And the price of beef, look, I raise beef.
The price of beef is going to go up.
You can lock in your price right now at goodranchers.com.
Use the promo code Beck and do a little workout.
You know what I mean?
Over the grill.
Sure.
Goodranchers.com, promo code Beck.
You can see Glenn Beck and see if his workout stories are true at blazetv.com/slash glenn.
The promo code is Glenn.
So, yesterday here in St.
George,
they are building something called Liberty Village.
And Liberty Village is this amazing idea
of building some of the building
the home of George Washington, Mount Vernon and Independence Hall and some of the important buildings around the founding.
And not just as a museum piece, but actually as school rooms and
experiences that you can have to be able to
promote the values and the principles that we are built on.
We don't, honestly, we don't need another flag park where everybody's like, oh, it was so moving.
It was the flag.
No, that would be great.
Can we tie it to the principles?
Most people don't know the reason why we're having so many problems now is because we violate all of the principles in the Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights are trampled on every single day in America.
So I'm here to try to help them raise money to be able to build this amazing space,
but also to
bring people in, families,
and honestly to
find
the next generation
and help them discover
America and her
principles and her stories and hopefully sear them into their mind and into their heart.
I've had a couple of
really amazing they won't let me into the museum most of the time because they're like, you're going to clog things up.
People will stop and you're like a circus clown.
And so I
get to meet people sometimes after they've seen the museum.
And
one of the people that went through it
Sunday?
No, Monday, Monday night, yesterday, is Spencer Rigby.
How old are you?
You're 17?
Yes, i'm 17.
17 years old and um we just happened to meet uh a friend of your parents knows um you know the friends of mine and so we had a chance to meet and
you told me your experience i'd like you to tell the audience what what was that like and what did you take from it okay um
So really my first impression with the museum was I just really loved it pretty much.
There's so many different artifacts and things from history in there that you would never really see ever and it was crazy.
And I just love the story they told as like we were going through about how America was either founded on like a sturdy foundation of Christianity or on like just a really weak foundation of like just the principles of the world.
And so like as they went through the tour, they were like, they kept explaining stuff like that.
Like they're like, here's some of the founding fathers bibles and some original book of mormons and then here's some like vampire hunting kits yeah it's like
there is there is a um
we have the bibles from king louis and i we should take them out um so you can see them they're gilded pages so the king of france that was beheaded he never cracked that book never we have king george book of prayers king george iii who we broke away from perfect condition he never opened opened that book.
And then you look at the pilgrims and you look at the founders and they are well worn.
The guy who stopped the
Salem witch trials,
Mathers, he was a preacher.
It lasted 18 months here in America.
It lasted centuries in Europe.
because there wasn't anyone like Mathers who was free to say what the truth was and knew the scriptures.
And he went to the guy who started the Salem witch trials and was the judge on it and said, I've been listening to your reasoning.
You're misreading the scriptures.
And we have his scriptures downstairs, the Mathers scriptures.
They were in the
library and then museum at Harvard for years.
I don't know how we ended up with them, but we have them now to protect.
I think it's probably because Harvard doesn't care about its history anymore.
That's the guy who stopped the Salem witch trials.
What was the most impressive thing that you saw?
The thing that made the biggest impact on you?
I'd have to say probably
the Normandy flag, actually, because I really love flags.
Like, because every flag tells a whole story behind it.
It's like, it has a history.
It's been places.
It has a story.
And so seeing the Normandy flag, like how tattered it is, but yet it still stands with the stars and stripes, it's just saying, like, it's kind of like telling America, it's like, we've been through crap, but yet we're still here, we're still standing strong, and
we're going to shine bright.
That is fantastic.
Did you go through the we have two names for it?
Some people call it Room Zero, and others call it the Red Pill Room.
Did you go through the eugenics room?
Yes, I did.
And what'd you think?
What did you learn?
It was crazy and a little disturbing, but also interesting to learn about.
It's like the fact that people have done that to other people is bizarre.
And did you see any parallels to today?
Maybe not.
You don't have to.
Maybe not.
Not that I can think of at the moment.
That's...
Good that you went through it.
I went through with a group of teenage girls Sunday night as we tested it out and I wanted to see.
So we brought some teenage girls in with their moms and I said, this is really a disturbing room, but I want you to go through it.
And I watched them and it was amazing to watch these girls.
I took them through the entire museum.
Some of them I lost from time to time for just a few minutes.
They were like, okay, boring.
And when they got to the red pill room,
They read on the walls because it has I wanted it to be with without somebody taking you through.
I wanted you to be able to go at your own pace and read everything.
So the walls are covered with all of the information starting at Charles Darwin and
ends in the Holocaust.
And
the girls would, they were reading, all of them were reading every single word.
And it was so fascinating to see, because there are some disturbing things.
When they started getting closer to disturbing things both girls with their moms
both of the girls that were related to the mom went right behind her stood behind her shoulder and hung on to her arm like mom is a shield from this information it was really really
very powerful
so um What do you want to do with your life?
I'm not exactly sure yet.
I've loved to be a pilot, maybe a historian.
I've always loved history.
I've also thought like there's been a tiny dream like being an astronaut, but that's not like a real history.
I definitely didn't go to space.
So
why do you want to go to space?
I just think it'd be crazy because it's just a, I don't know.
We've done it before, but it's still monumental every single time you do it.
And just like, I don't know, the feeling of being an astronaut going to space, like something like that would just be like the coolest thing ever.
You optimistic for the future?
Yes.
Good for you.
Good for you.
Thank you so much for coming in and thanks for
having me.
Yeah, you bet.
I will tell you, it's an interesting time that we live in
because we are living in what the World Economic Forum is calling the fourth industrial revolution.
And it is.
It's what I've said for 25 years.
There's going to come a time that just like we had the Industrial Revolution where we were all farmers and then 120 years later we have electricity and
cars and we're living in cities, that change, that huge, huge change is coming and it'll be in a 10-year period.
And we are in that 10-year period now.
And people don't understand how fast it's going to change.
And the good news is
it's up to us.
It is either going to be,
he's either going to go into space and he won't go to the moon.
He'll go to Mars and beyond.
We are at the technological turning point to where man can seed the stars in my lifetime.
Or we'll destroy ourselves.
It is that clear.
We will either set ourselves back to the Stone Age or we will
become
explorers like we've never been before.
It's an exciting time.
It's terrifying, terrifying.
But it's also an exciting time when I meet somebody your age, like you, that is rooted in the things that are true,
have a handle,
and quite honestly, are not as old and cranky as me.
So thank you so much.
Back in just a second.
First, our sponsor this half hour is Patriot Mobile.
Got to tell you, Patriot Mobile, I had dinner with them last night.
They actually, and I didn't even know this, we hit a snag bringing everything out.
We had one 18-wheeler tractor trailer and it was completely packed, which we weren't the best planners, apparently.
And so, we had to find another tractor trailer in like half an hour.
And so, we called our friends at Patriot Mobile and said, Rolodex, we need your Rolodex.
Do you know anybody?
And do you remember the name of the company?
Anyone remember?
It was like Bradford.
I'm sorry, I'm going to butcher it.
I'll say it later so I don't butcher it.
But these guys actually
were,
they're usually the drivers that drive our nuclear weapons.
And I said, listen, you're driving, you know, really important stuff.
They're like, dude, usually it's something that can vaporize us and the city we're driving through.
We're good.
But Patriot Mobile were the ones that helped us on that.
They are in the fight right alongside of you and me in our own neighborhoods.
They're really tremendous people.
They're the only Christian conservative wireless phone provider.
And they're growing bigger and bigger every day because people know I don't want to send my money to, let's say, Verizon and have them send their money to Planned Parenthood.
I don't want to do that.
I'm looking for people that are not woke, they're awake.
Patriot Mobile, they are the people, and they give you the same great coverage because they're on the same cell towers.
They make it easy for you to switch.

This is the Glenn Beck program.
I don't know about you, but I'm a big home title head.
And what that means basically is I, you know, constantly are checking.
I'm just checking my home's title like every week or so.
And I'm always checking it out.
I have a big record as to when I've looked at it.
You know, I take pictures of myself and home videos looking at my home title because I'm just cool like that.
You might not be that way, though.
Maybe you're not a home title head.
If you're not, you might need home title lock.
Home title lock can make sure that your home title is protected no matter what is going on.
So you don't have to check it like me every few days just for fun.
You can just, I don't know, relax, have solace in the idea that maybe home title lock is doing that for you.
Because home title theft is one of the biggest growing crimes in America.
And some homeowners have seen their houses be bulldozed
by people
because they thought they had bought their home.
I mean, it wasn't even their fault.
They thought they had gone through a normal purchase process.
Instead, they had bought it from someone who was not even the actual rightful owner because of home title theft.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program live from St.
George, Utah, where they are building Liberty Village, and we'll have more on that coming up.
Let me talk to Stu about the CNN tape that came out yesterday about Donald Trump.
It's amazing how these anti-Donald Trump things just kind of just leak out of the Justice Department.
Oh, CNN's doing their journalism, Glenn.
You know, they were able to exclusively get a hold of this tape.
And I mean, it's interesting how they continue to be able to do this because this was from a Mark Meadows
book interview.
So, like, wouldn't you think that Mark Meadows was turning it over?
My guess.
Doesn't Mark Meadows work
for Donald Trump?
He was the chief of staff.
So you would think that he would be doing that.
It's interesting that all these things, this locked down Department of Justice, they just will not,
you know, let anyone in because they're just their investigations are too tight-lipped until the moment they can leak anything against Donald Trump.
And then all of it comes out to the media.
It is fascinating how that continues to happen over and over and over again.
Yeah, well, we can't tell you anything.
We're not going to comment or we can't reveal anything about Hunter Biden.
It's an ongoing investigation.
Right.
They couldn't.
How did we have that email on Hunter Biden that
said, I'm sitting next to dad.
We want to know where our money is.
We didn't know about that for three years, but tape from Donald Trump.
Oops.
Oops, where did I, I thought I had that in the safe.
We just found out
that it was, what, November of 2019 that they verified the contents of the laptop were real.
And yet they allowed the media to run with the narrative that it was Russian disinformation for years.
For years, they were able to do that.
No, no, they didn't allow.
They encouraged.
At the same time, the
national security firms, all of them got together that said, sure looks like it to me.
When the FBI knew and had verified it
13 months before the election,
they had verified it that business was done.
And it went on.
13 months on and on is the narrative and every mainstream media source that it was Russian disinformation and obviously Russian disinformation.
And yet they knew the whole time, and that never leaked out.
That didn't leak out to the media.
They never seemed to cover that.
Yet here we are, yet again, this is leaking out.
And I don't know that it really says anything different.
I mean, the only thing you might say is that it verifies that the transcript in the
indictment was relatively accurate.
I mean, so these events did seem to occur, although Trump never denied them.
He just said that something else was going on.
So I don't know that we learned much from it, but it is fascinating how this is.
No,
what we learned is the Justice Department is running PR for the White House.
Keep Hunter Biden's name out of the news.
And here's another distraction.
Look at this shiny thing.
Look at this shiny thing.
That's all they're doing.
We're going to talk about Hunter Biden and what's really going on because
there's a couple of disturbing things that came out yesterday,
and we'll do that uh at the top of the hour but i i uh
it's amazing to watch people's reaction you know i laid my money down on the table and i i i'm betting on two states to stand up one of them is texas and we're
okay uh the other one is idaho and we're
okay
however something really positive came out of idaho yesterday i don't know if you saw this.
The GOP passed a
bill.
I'm trying to remember how it worked.
I've got it.
I'll share it
word for word probably next hour.
But they passed a bill saying
the FBI is a corrupt organization.
And I believe it went as far as saying it should be shut down.
That, I mean, I've heard everybody in the media talk for years.
Bill Clinton, it's a constitutional crisis.
I don't know.
I think we're actually in one right now.
Can somebody mention that?
What happens when states start to not recognize the FBI?
The Glenn Beck program.
Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour for the Blaze.
It is Rough Greens.
Uno is starting to slow down.
He's with me this week, and I had him all weekend here with me, and he's just not the boy he used to be.
But he is getting really old for a German Shepherd, and he should have, if he was like our other German Shepherds, he should have been slowing down at least a year ago.
And he has...
He's just been like a puppy in the last three, four years since I started feeding him rough greens.
It's not a dog food.
It is something you put on the dog's food.
I didn't bring it, don't ask me.
My wife,
I went and I brought the food and then I poured it in the bowl here in St.
George, and there was no rough greens because daddy's not as smart as mommy.
And he just looked at it, sniffed it, walked away, and then looked at me like, you are not my mom.
She brought the rough greens.
Your dog will love it.

We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.
Stand up straight and hold the light.
It's a new day, our time to rise.
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is
the Glenn Beck program.
Hello, America.
Well, I don't know if you've been following the news on what is happening with the Joe Biden investigation, but apparently this is going to come as a shock.
Apparently, some people have been lying under oath to Congress.
So, you know what that means.
Nothing, nothing's going to happen.
It's America 2023.
Actually, this time, things may be different.
The unraveling of the FBI, Justice Department, and the administration continues.
We'll talk about that in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
It is the Tuttle Twins.
To celebrate the launch of their new American history book for kids, it's really good.
The Tuttle Twins want to send you and your family to Boston for a historic vacation.
Well, going into a city like Boston, it could be one for the history books.
Good luck with that.
You really actually should go to Boston and see all of the great American sites before you can't see them anymore because it's too dangerous.
Tuttle Twins are on a mission to learn from history.
We can understand the stories and the ideas that made America so special, we'll know how important it is to preserve it.
History is not about memorizing names and dates.
That doesn't mean anything to anybody.
Give me the gist.
What were they striving for?
What were they fighting against?
What were they trying to do?
That's American history, and that's the kind of history you'll get from the Tuttle Twins in their book.
Coming 4th of July, it is coming up no better time to start teaching your kids the love of American history.
To celebrate the release of their new book, Tuttle Twins, Given One Family Vacation Getaway to visit all of these historic sites around Boston.
Go to TuttleTwinsbeck.com to order, TuttleTwinsbeck.com.
Order the book and check out the official rules for the vacation getaway.
There is no purchase necessary.

So, Stu,
I'm trying to understand this
story about Weiss.
He is the attorney from Delaware, the
U.S.
Attorney, David Weiss.
He told the House Judiciary Committee that he had been granted ultimate authority over the
prosecutorial decisions related to the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden.
Then
Attorney General Merrick Garland, he comes up and he testifies the same thing.
However, if you actually read what he said,
he said
he was asked to provide a letter
and in the letter,
he said, basically, I'm trying to find it here.
He basically said, look, Merrick Garland told me I was in charge and I make all of the decisions.
Now,
Congress is saying he lied in that letter,
and it goes against other testimony.
However,
me thinks I smell an attorney in that letter, because what he said was, Merrick Garland told me.
He didn't say I'm in charge.
He didn't say anything.
It sounds to me like the Justice Department had an attorney write that letter, probably for him,
and then he had to sign it and he was like, I'm not lying.
And of course, every attorney will tell you, you didn't lie in that letter at all.
Isn't that what the Attorney General told you?
Yes, but it's not true.
I don't have control.
We didn't ask that.
Is that what Merrick Garland told you?
I think that's the game that is being played here.
But Sean Davis knows much, much better than I do on this.
Sean Davis is with the Federalist.
He is the co-founder and CEO of the Federalist.
Sean, am I reading that right at all?
Or what do you think is happening?
Yeah, I don't think that's an unfair read that you're doing.
Anytime lawyers are involved, we should assume that they're trying to play games with words and trying to say things they're not allowed to say without actually getting in trouble for having said them.
Right.
But I will say, I think us being on the right, we're used to having having to parse things out, and we forget that anymore when you're on the left, there's no consequences for lying.
So sometimes it's Occam's razor.
Sometimes they just say things that aren't true because they can get away with saying things that aren't true.
And the reason we know they can get away with saying things that aren't true is that Hunter Biden's not going to prison.
I mean, this happens over and over, especially with this particular Department of Justice, with this FBI.
And the real rub with this Hunter Biden stuff is we have Merrick Garland and David Weiss, the guy who was picked to do the Hunter Biden investigation, claiming one thing.
And then we have a whole room of whistleblowers who were intimately involved in the case investigating it saying something that's the exact opposite.
And it's fascinating.
And saying, and if I'm not mistaken, Sean, he said not just the exact opposite to them.
And
they're not just claiming that, yeah, and then he didn't have the authority.
Wasn't he complaining to them or telling them, look, I can't make that call.
I tried to get, you know, for instance, Washington.
I wanted to move the case to Washington, and justice wouldn't let me do it.
So it's not just that that was their thought.
He was actually explaining why they couldn't do things, right?
That's correct.
So it happened, according to several whistleblowers, in an October 7th, 2022 meeting between a bunch of the investigators on the case, tax experts who are at the top of their field and been working on the case for years, and David Weiss and his team of attorneys out of Delaware.
And they were wanting to bring a whole bevy of charges because they had Hunter dead to rights on him.
And Weiss said, no, no, no, I'm sorry, I can't do that.
He explicitly told them, I can't change the venue, I can't do this.
I asked for special counsel status.
That was rejected.
And, you know, it's easy to say, well, it's a he said, she said kind of thing, except there are contemporaneous written notes from multiple people in that meeting at the time where they all agree that, yes, David Weiss claimed these things, and that they're the exact opposite of what he told Congress two to three weeks ago and the exact opposite of what Merritt Garland told Congress.
So the question is: was Weiss lying in that meeting, or were he and Garland lying to Congress?
So, either way, he was lying.
I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he's a good guy and
just was told not to do things and then was kind of, you know, had a gun to his head.
It's like, I think you're going to sign this document.
And it's not a lie.
But you believe that he
could have been
actually the guy in charge, but he's telling all the underlings.
Yeah,
I don't have
the position to be able to make those calls.
I tried, and I just couldn't do it.
It could be that.
You know, there's different ways to reconcile the discrepancies.
That's one of them.
Any good ways?
No,
not really.
It could be that he decided, well, yeah, Merrick Garland told me I'm not allowed to do that and that I'd be fired if I did that.
And so I decided on my own authority that I wasn't going to do that.
That's the thing about the left.
They all play these word games.
But we all know what happened.
We all know what Hunter did.
Right.
So when we're looking at
this game being played, you know, what I said a minute ago, and you know what that means, nothing, because nothing's going to happen.
Nobody's going to go to jail or anything else.
I do have a feeling that we are at a turning point with the American people and with this story.
I think the average person is starting to figure it out on their own, even though the mainstream press is not going there at all.
There's enough press now that's credible around that is exposing this that maybe this time it's different?
It could be.
And I'll tell you, the reason I think this one might be different is that we have a smoking gun text from Hunter.
We have Hunter threatening a Chinese Communist Party-connected oligarch.
If you don't give me my money, my dad, who's sitting here next to me, he's going to screw you over and you'll regret it.
And two weeks later, they got their money in the exact amount that Hunter had demanded in that text.
It's rare that we ever get anything that clear-cut.
So
let me ask you this.
We've had all kinds of people go through that laptop.
How is it that letter
was never exposed?
We never saw that letter.
How?
Well, I think the main reason is that the FBI, which had possessed it and authenticated it in December of 2019, almost a year before the election, they went all out to cover it up, to hide it, to make sure no one knew about it.
And then all we had were various alleged copies of the hard drive floating around afterwards.
You had a couple reporters with access to it.
I'll tell you, when I'm trying to find files on my computer that I created like a month ago that I know are on there, it can take me 20 minutes to find out where the computer put them.
Can you imagine having to find the needle in a haystack on a computer that's not yours, that's got a gazillion insane photos and nonsense of Hunter?
You know,
when you're not allowed to use the actual authorities because they're trying to cover it up to find this stuff out, it doesn't surprise me that it's hard to actually find and get out there.
Hey, Stu, would you put a call into Peter Schweizer and see if he has a second to pop in?
Because he's very thorough.
And I'm shocked that he didn't see that.
And he'd be able to really answer with authority on how difficult it is to
find these things.
Sure.
So
Biden and his son met at Camp David over the weekend.
Obviously, they are
coordinating and working with attorneys on this.
How nervous do you think the White House is on this?
I think they're starting to get a little nervous because the heat has been turned
up so much on this, and it goes back to that text.
We've got pictures that Hunter was at his dad's house that very day.
So it's not like Biden can claim, oh, that was a lie from Hunter.
He was in California.
I was in Delaware.
No, they were together that day.
Biden, as we all know, is completely incapable of explaining this or really anything else himself.
So they can't rely on him.
So they have to rely on the low IQ press secretary to go out there and explain all this.
And what she does instead is just stonewalls it.
They're not used to this type of scrutiny.
They're used to doing this to their enemies.
They're used to impeaching people over a phone call.
They're not used to having to defend smoking gun texts.
And so I think you're right that this one feels a little different.
They're starting to get a little bit nervous.
You had John Kirby just straight up walk out of a press briefing when he was asked about it.
And the reason is there's no good answers for this.
There's no way to explain it away.
You just have to try and snuff out the story and hope it just dies.
I'm going to have to go back in the archives and look at the way the press
handled it.
With Nixon, it's interesting to me.
I remember reading
while I was doing the impeachment of Donald Trump that it took them two terms to
get it out.
I think the story broke like a year into his first term, maybe two, and the tide didn't change.
And it was in his second term, about halfway through, that finally he had to admit.
And that's about the timeline that this is.
They've hit it and hit it and hit it.
And now it's finally starting to come out.
But I'm interested in the parallels
because this president has put himself in a bad situation where his Justice Department is going after a former president for misdemeanors and jaywalking, and he may be in real trouble.
Well, if history repeats itself, that means, God forbid, I hate to even say this, Lord, please know.
I don't want to give him any ideas.
If Joe Biden leaves, that means Kamala Harris is our president.
That's the scariest thing I've ever...
You have Joe Biden, who is completely senile,
but in the long run, he's not stupid.
She's just like,
we might as well have President Rock sitting, not the rock, just a rock sitting on the Oval Office desk.
If history would repeat itself, she would pardon the outgoing president to get it behind the country because we all have to come together.
But you can't really do that and say you're doing it to bring the country together unless you pardon the other president.
What are your thoughts on that, Sean?
I think that's true.
Although, I guess the one argument I would make there is I don't think anyone believes Joe Biden is president right now.
And so if he were to leave and they just just throw in Kamala, I don't think anything changes because she's not going to be in charge either.
I'd almost take the rock.
I think I would take just the stationary rock over both of them.
It would do less damage.
Yeah, and at least the American people would ask the question, wait, who's really running things?
Because I think he's eating pudding.
for most of the day and getting his cup of pills.
So he's not running it.
Sean, thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
Thanks for everything that you guys do at the Federalist.
You're really, really on top of things and really credible.
And it is hard to find credible news.
And I appreciate the Federalists.
Thank you so much.
You're very kind, sir.
Thank you.
You bet.
So let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
It is Rough Greens.
Jerry wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Greens.
She said, I listened to Glenn Beck rave about this product for years before I decided to try it.
Oh, so it was you, huh?
I mean, I keep saying, if everybody in this audience would just go out and buy rough greens, I mean, have a dog, buy rough greens, we can stop this daily conversation.
That's all you have to do.
If everyone could just get on board, but some of us, and that would be me too, are stragglers.
The trial bag, she says, was more than enough to see the results I needed to continue purchasing more.
My 12-year-old dog is playing again and running again, and I could tell the difference after his second feeding.
It was remarkable.
Uno didn't eat, and we put it in the bowl, and he snarfs it.
I don't have rough greens, and he doesn't eat.
She said it's magical, nutritional stuff.
No buyer's remorse here.
It's not a dog food.
It's a supplement.
Put it on your dog's food.
They want you to have a free trial bag.
Just go to roughgreens.com slash Beck.

You know, I'm
looking at everything that is happening, and we have so discredited ourselves as a nation.
And if we don't turn the corner, everything that we are, everything, every truth that we've ever done, you know the one thing you don't hear anymore?
Americans are the most charitable people on earth.
I wonder if that's even true.
I think it is.
But you don't hear it anymore.
It's always about the money the government is giving and never about the people.
And unfortunately, we learned in the Cold War,
It doesn't really matter what the people think.
When the wall came down and we met the Russian people for the first time, we were like, oh my gosh, you're not bloodthirsty killers that want to kill us for communism.
No, no, no.
The government did.
The government did, many in it, but they weren't like that.
They're just like us.
Most people just want to, can I just, can I live my life, please?
Just leave me and my family alone.
I just want to live my life.
And
we're going to be remembered, unfortunately, for what our government did.
And we've got to clean up this credibility mess or we will
lose the truth on everything.
I was talking to some people this morning at breakfast about my feeling about the space program.
I currently
am working with all of the living astronauts, and I can't say I am.
My friend is.
He's got connections to all of them.
And they're writing their testimony out about going to space.
There's two guys that actually actually walked on the moon that are still alive.
I'm asking them to write it down in their own handwriting,
not a type, but write it out, their testimony about walking on the moon.
And I'm doing that because there's no credibility.
You're going to see, I'm telling you, 10, 15, 20 years, if we lose,
People will believe Russia landed on the moon, not us.
They'll believe China landed on the moon, not us.
That was Hollywood.
That's what they'll say.
One state that is doing something to try to bring some credibility back.
It is unprecedented, but the Idaho Republican Party took a stance against the FBI.
They passed a resolution condemning, quote, the corrupt government agency and calling for its abolition.
If it is deemed that the agency cannot be reformed.
Wow.
But I think that's where most people who are paying attention, people who aren't paying attention, go, why are you so anti-FBI?
Really, Mr.
Liberal, the one that didn't care about law and order the whole time, we've always backed the FBI.
We finally wake up to, yeah, you know, they might be corrupt.
And now you're telling us that we're anti-I can't take it.
Anyway.
This is where I think the average person who is watching and is not bogged down in politics, but looking for the truth,
I think we're all in the place where if it can't be reformed, we have to unplug it and plug it back in and restore the factory settings.
Although on the FBI, I'm not sure the factory settings were any good, but that's a different story.
More in just a second.

You know, since we overturned Roe v.
Wade and everybody was panicking and it's the end of women and oh my gosh, the oppression and we're making them wear burqas now.
Do you know that abortion rates have only gone down 3%?
3%.
We are still killing children.
The way to do that is, the way to stop it.
is to actually care about the children, which I think people do.
And the moms.
I've met a lot of moms that went in for an abortion to a pre-born clinic and they saw the ultrasound and it broke them, but they didn't immediately say, I've got to save my child.
That's my child.
They knew at that point they couldn't live in the lie they had been telling themselves, but they didn't know how.
By caring for the mother and helping her beyond birth, Pre-born ministries helps for two and a half years or two years, three years,
Not just with the ultrasounds.
We have to care about the whole condition.

From St.
George, Utah,
where we are trying to help them build Liberty Village.
It is an amazing idea.
You can find out all the information on it at unitedwepledge.org.
My wife and I found out about this
about two or three years ago and became friends with the developers.
And their goals of teaching American history are my goals as well.
And so
we've partnered on this museum that we're doing now.
And I'm bringing it out to St.
George.
All of the profits go to them, except for the t-shirt sales and the poster and cup sales, because I'm trying not to live under a bridge to put all of these
items into a vault or to take them on tour.
My wife's a little angry with me, and she's like, why don't you sell some t-shirts and then maybe ask me about buying somebody else's wheelchair or, you know, a signing pen or whatever it is.
So come prepared to buy a cup, a mug, a book.
If you're here,
you can get the brand new book.
two weeks early.
I tell you not to brag about it.
Don't taunt your friends with it because it comes out in two weeks.
It is the brand new book, Dark Future, and it's really good.
Better than the predecessor, I think,
called The Great Reset.
It is number two.
You don't have to read number one to be able to get the second book
or understand it, but
it doesn't hurt.
By the way, the audio version of that, and I say this
kind of sadly because it's a really, really good version.
I recorded it last day I recorded was literally right before I got on the plane.
I thought we were going to miss the plane because I was running out of the room after I finished and they said, wait, wait, wait, you have to say the end.
And I ran back to the mic, the end.
And then I ran to the airport to get here.
But it's really a funny version.
However, if you can only afford one, and I say this,
I make more money on the audio version, so I'm not saying this for any other reason other than history needs to be preserved if you can only afford one buy the hardbound book or a soft cover book because you don't own anything online if it becomes unpopular for some reason or just too much hate speech it can just be deleted from your library not a good idea A book comes out in two weeks.
It's called The Great Reset.
You can order it now wherever you buy your books.
Miranda Devine is on with us.
She is the author of the book Laptop from Hell, came out I think about a year ago.
She's the New York Post columnist and has been neck deep in this, ooh, I don't want to say in Hunter Biden, but in Hunter Biden stories.
And she's been essential in exposing a lot of the things that were on the lap.
laptop.
She joins us now.
Miranda.
Are you there?
Good day.
Hello.
Hi, Glenn.
Great to be with you.
Hi.
Yeah.
So, Miranda,
you had the actual laptop, right?
Yes.
Well, the hard drive, which is
a complete replica of the laptop.
Okay.
So how did, I mean, I have a friend Peter Schweizer who has got a team of people and they're very, very good.
I know you're very, very good.
How did we not see the email that says, I'm sitting here on the couch with my dad, and we want our money, China?
Well, the beauty of that, it's actually not an email.
It's a WhatsApp message, which is an encrypted app, and none of that appears on the laptop.
That WhatsApp message was retrieved by the IRS criminal investigators through an subpoena to Apple for Hunter Biden's iCloud.
And the beauty of that is that
you know the laptop the FBI had they authenticated can you believe it every single piece on it that it was reliable evidence and hadn't been tampered with and was real.
They'd authenticate it by as early as February of 2020 but they refused to give it to the IRS investigators and you know as Gary Shapley, the whistleblower, said in his testimony that was released on Friday, he said, we needed to know, we're looking at how much money Hunter Biden didn't pay in tax.
We need to know about that email about 10% for the big guy.
We need to know who's the big guy, where'd that money go, because otherwise we will count that 10% and make Hunter Biden pay tax for it.
So
they asked several times for the Department of Justice, for their prosecutors.
They said,
we need the laptop, and they were refused.
But they managed to get a lot of the material that's on the laptop through this subpoena for Hunter Biden's iCloud.
So that's another way that you can prove that what's in the laptop is legitimate because there's a lot of overlap.
But of course, they got a lot of things that aren't on the laptop that were deleted or never preserved.
How much money do you think, and do we have a
reasonable idea of how much money the Bidens have made through these kinds of things.
Well, look, we have for the first time a definitive number that the second IRS whistleblower, who was the lead case agent on that five-year investigation into Hunter Biden's taxes, he's given in his testimony a figure, now I think it was $18.2 million.
I could be out by a few hundred thousand there, but in that ballpark, say
$18 to $19 million dollars that came in from foreign sources into
the sort of
Hunter Biden Jim Biden Devon Archer you know his various partners in crime or you know in business
and then out of that the
there was about nine million a little over nine million went directly to Hunter Biden so he got about half the cut whether or not 10% went to the big guy aka Joe Biden, has yet to be determined.
But we know that Hunter got $9 million and he underpaid his taxes over that period significantly.
Now, we know that Kevin Morris, Hunter Biden's sugar brother from California, the Hollywood lawyer, he befriended Hunter Biden and was terribly generous to him, paid back $2.8 million in unpaid taxes last year.
Terribly generous.
Terribly generous.
Yeah, that's one nice, yeah, that's one nice, oh, it was charity.
I was just doing it for a friend.
I mean, I write, you know, tens of millions of dollars of checks for friends, and I never expect to have them do anything for me.
Oh, by the way, I'm going to be talking from the press secretary, their podium there at the White House, talking some business later to the press.
I mean,
it wasn't the goodness of his heart.
Is anybody investigating him?
Well, look,
so the tax investigators did not treat that money that Kevin Morris paid as a gift, which would itself have been taxable for Hunter Biden because Hunter Biden said it was a loan.
So presumably Hunter Biden will repay Kevin Morris with the money he gets from the work he does now as an artist.
So, Miranda, I mean, what's so crazy, he says it's a loan.
That's what he said about the money he was paid from Burisma when they put the money in Narosemont Seneca.
He didn't pay any taxes because he said it was a loan and then just never paid it back.
Yeah, that's right.
And it's just what they, these IRS guys who've been doing this for, you know, a quarter of a century between them, they say this is textbook tax evasion.
When
you get paid, you put it into another company, you say it's a loan.
You can't give yourself a loan that you never pay back.
So
they obviously wanted to charge that as tax evasion.
But that was in 2014, 2015, which when Hunter Biden was living in Washington, D.C.
And
turns out David Weiss, the U.S.
Attorney for Delaware, who was given all of the Hunter Biden investigations that came in from all around the country for some reason by Bill Barr, they all went to Delaware.
And David Weiss,
you know, just asked nicely of the Washington, D.C.
U.S.
Attorney who'd been appointed by Joe Biden,
could I please lay some charges against Hunter Biden in your jurisdiction?
And surprise, surprise, U.S.
Attorney in Washington, D.C., Matthew Graves, said, no, you can't.
Same thing happened in the Central District of California for the later years where Hunter Biden had been living in Malibu and Venice Beach.
And no, you can't do it.
Another Biden appointee.
And David Weiss just meekly accepts that and then the statute of limitations run out on those, which were the biggest
part of the charges, the most serious for Hunter Biden, and also encompassed Foreign Agent Registration Act violations.
So in other words, foreign lobbying.
There was evidence of that all over the laptop.
And we could never understand why on earth weren't those charges brought.
Now we know from the whistleblowers, it's because the Department of Justice allowed the statute of limitations to run out because David Weiss said, oh, well, we can't bring charges because these U.S.
attorneys who were appointed by Biden won't let us.
And so last October when Gary Shapley, the IRS whistleblower and his crack team, they're like the SEAL team of the IRS, They are the ones who go,
he's collected $2.5 billion of taxes on behalf of the American taxpayer from
all over the world actually in his career.
So he is the number one.
He's the, you know, the goat of IRS investigators.
And
he's had this meeting in October with Weiss and said, why on earth did you let the statute of limitations run out?
And Weiss says, well, you know, I went to the Department of Justice and I asked if I could be made special counsel so that I could bring charges in those jurisdictions and they refused me.
Well, now Merrick Garland has come out and said that's not true.
That the only person who can make Wife a special counsel is me and he never asked.
And so someone's lying.
And that's needed to call them in.
I will tell you, my best guess is they're probably both lying to some degree or another.
But let me ask you, I've got about 30 seconds.
You have been on this story for years.
I mean, you were at the post when the laptop was
Russian disinformation and they banned the post from any social media.
Do you think we're at a turning point, or is this more of the same that's not going to amount to anything or anybody going to jail?
I think that Gary Shapley's testimony and his partner is a game changer because
they brought evidence that is separate from the laptop and is not just hearsay or one person's word against Joe Biden's.
This is
evidence, you know, transcripts of interviews with Hunter Biden's former business partners, memorialized conversations with six witnesses between Gary Shapley and
David White and DOJ prosecutors or
district attorneys who were obstructing.
So I think there is clear evidence of malfeasance by the Department of Justice involvement of the highest level of the FBI.
And
there's two parts of this story.
There's the original corruption story, but I think as with Watergate, the biggest story is the cover-up.
And Gary Shapley has laid bare the cover-up, and you can see them now.
They are going to try and destroy him, destroy his reputation.
Right.
Miranda, thank you so much for everything you've done over the years on this story.
I appreciate it.
Keep it up.
Miranda Devine, author of Laptop from Hell and a columnist for the New York Post.

This is the Glen Beck Program.
Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.
We're glad you're here.
Thank you so much for everybody who came out yesterday or is still coming out.
People are traveling from all over the country to see the museum, the Blueprints of Liberty.
I'm so excited to share it with you.
Mercury One and I have been collecting items.
They've been doing it since 2010 or 11 when I established them
and been doing it since 2008.
And the reason why it is important
is
this item is still in play, so I can't tell you what the item is.
But
there is something that is
so incredibly important to history.
And it would be, it is,
the only thing.
like it and the only thing that verifies the existence of this particular situation, I didn't even know it existed.
It has been in a man's personal collection for years, and he fought in court over in Europe for it, et cetera, et cetera.
And it went up for sale.
And
it sold for $6 million.
And we were out way before that.
And
it was purchased.
And the guy
got on the phone with him.
And he said, what are you going to do with it?
And he said,
I'm going to melt this thing down.
He hated
the version that
we grew up believing and wanted it destroyed.
The guy next in line for it also wanted it destroyed.
The guy pulled it off the market.
We are trying to save those items because
there is an active attempt to take and destroy or hide our history.
My gosh, thank you so much, Hillary.
I want to talk to you a little bit about American Giant
and the,
well, not the Fourth of July celebration and
shirt that you could wear for your Fourth of July celebration.
They have a American-made t-shirt, and that's exactly what it says on the front, American-made.
It's red, white, and blue.
It's beautiful.
Great way to celebrate.
And it's also a great way to have a really good American-made t-shirt and support a company like American Giant that believes in the same kind of America that you do.
They're not only saving jobs and factories and opening up new factories all the time to make sure that we can make clothing here in America, they give pride back to the cities and the workers in these towns that factories years ago shut down.
Try to check out American Giant.
Their clothing is fantastic.
Get this t-shirt now limited only for a few.

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, onabotulinum 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 Lou Gehrig'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.

is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
In my book, which is usually a food book,
this man is a hero.
A guy in New York throws a pizza at City Hall yesterday.
A hero.
A waste of a good pie, but a hero nonetheless.
I'll tell you why he did that in 60 seconds.
First, summer's here, and that means it's time to beat the heat and make sure you're not racking up all kinds of bills with air conditioning with blinds from blinds.com.

Hello, Stu.
What have you learned from today's show?
Unfortunately, too many things about the Biden family.
I'd like to know less about them.
And that's hard to say.
Yeah, that's hard to say, too, learning a lot about the Biden family too much, especially after you've,
well, you've seen them
in
various positions of undress with other people, you know.
So, other than that, I mean,
you're a slouch, Stu.
That's all you learned?
I've just done two hours slaving over a hot microphone.
You just told me about hot pizza and yet have not revealed what actually went on.
So, I mean, that would be something you could do if you were going to do your job.
I just wanted to make sure you were listening, okay?
Of course.
Here it is.
This is very important.
They are not going to take away your stoves if you have a gas stove.
Yet, they are.
Okay, but that's a conspiracy theory, but they've confirmed that they're doing it.
But anybody who's talking about it is a conspiracy theorist.
Perfect.
Easy to understand.
Are you following?
So far, yes.
They are not.
Yeah, they're not going to take away your
coal or your wood-fired pizza oven.
They're not going to do it.
Anybody who says they're doing that, it's a conspiracy theory.
Except they are doing it to restaurants in New York.
But that's just coal and woodfire stoves that are not being closed, that they want closed.
And I will say there is no, no level of importance,
you know, culturally, of New York coal oven pizza.
That's not like something that, you know, is important to the city,
well-known.
There's just, you know, it's not like pizza from New York is a thing, right?
Right.
Right.
It's like get rid of the yellow taxi cabs.
And the streets still look the same in New York.
Yeah.
So it's not it's not an important thing to New Yorkers or
to,
you know, for instance,
give me any reason to go visit New York.
It wouldn't be because of the pizza because it tastes entirely different.
I don't know what it is, but it is an entirely different taste.
It's not just the experience, it's a different taste in New York.
New York slices of pizza are the best.
Some of them are wood, you know, come from wood-fire ovens.
You can get that same exact
quality and taste from an electric oven.
now let me ask you a question if that were true
can you imagine the paperwork and the permitting and the hassle and the cost of putting in a wood fired oven in a building in New York now sure yes they're not exactly called
ovens in many of the best crack houses in New York.
They're probably called just more of a fire.
But if you want to do it legally, it would be a hassle.
Why would you do that?
It's not for the ambiance.
It's because it actually tastes better.
It's different.
And
this guy yesterday went up to City Hall and threw a pizza at City Hall.
If I were there, I would have supported him and then licked the cheese off the wall.
But
by the way, kids, don't eat the gum you find on the subway.
Don't do it.
It's not good.
It's not good.
We learned that from the documentary shelf.
Yeah.
Yes, we did.
We did.
And don't lick the cheese.
I mean, unless you see the guy and you're there right away where it's still a little hot.
I think this guy's a hero.
I'm not surprised.
I feel like the goal here seems to be to take away anything you might enjoy in life.
Anything that might be pleasant in any particular way must be destroyed.
That seems to be the goal here.
You can get frozen pizzas.
You can.
I mean, temporarily.
Right now you can.
And there's no difference, Stu.
No.
Now, the elite will fly into some place like Naples where they'll have it in the brick-fired,
wood-fired pizza oven, but you don't need that.
You don't need that.
No.
in.
No.
No, it's funny because
the environmentalists have tried this stuff before, which is like, there's a couple different types of things they try to do.
Like, they try to stop coal-fired power plants, right?
But no one has a particular allegiance unless you're in the coal industry to coal-fired power plants.
If the power works,
I don't care.
It doesn't matter to me.
Coal is a really good value for some, in some regions.
It works for certain things.
But like, if you had nuclear, if you had, if solar actually worked, like I don't, I wouldn't care as long as the power turns on when I want it to turn on.
That's my only preference.
The other thing they do is they go after these
that at a reasonable price.
You're right.
Yes, right.
Yeah.
Exactly.
A reasonable price.
In fact, a very low price, because low-priced electricity is the foundation of our civilization
when it comes to pragmatic, non-spiritual things.
That's kind of the most important thing that we have out there.
So then you go to the other approach that environmentalists have, far less successful, I would argue, for them, which is
trying to take away things that they see as luxuries that people really enjoy.
Like there was a big movement they had a while ago about trying to take away big screen televisions.
And it's like, I don't know if you know any Americans.
Are there any that you've ever heard of?
No, I think they hate Americans.
They hate Americans.
When I was over in London,
it's a different world.
Nobody has air conditioning.
They're like, ah, we just get used to it.
Well, I'm an American.
I don't want to get used to it.
Now, if I live in Seattle, I grew up without air conditioning.
You only need it maybe, maybe three, four weeks out of the year.
But in those three, four weeks, I want it.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm an American.
We can afford it.
I would like it.
Make it more efficient?
Sure.
But you know one of the other things that pisses me off?
The water faucets.
If I am living, I went over to London and I turn on the shower and it just pours out.
Have you
taken a shower someplace with a new water faucet in America?
They have
put a regulator on it.
So now, you know, you're kind of like, oh, yeah, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip.
Okay, I got a shampoo under that drip.
It is horrible.
Well, Glenn,
you should know, and this is something very, very important, that the restrictions, of course, are put on at like at the, like, for example, the shower head is where the
restriction is.
And if you go on YouTube, I want you to know, if you see a video that explains exactly how to get rid of that thing, you should not click on it and use it in your house.
Because that will
not.
What should I not search for?
I will give this, I don't know exactly what you should not search for, but let me I'll look that up here in a second because
you tell me on the air what we should not search for.
Right.
Because it is the bane of my existence.
I it makes me so angry.
I'm on well water.
So
how does that affect you?
Well, the aquifer.
Shut up.
Shut up.
My shower.
is going to run the aquifer dry.
Shut up.
How to remove a water restrictor from a shower head is not something you should search for on YouTube.
If you do that, you may come in contact with a video that would allow you to, in your own home, designate how much water you want to come out of that shower head.
Do you want it to be a super soaker extravaganza with high water pressure?
You might want that.
And you'd be able to do that if you followed the instructions on videos like that on YouTube.
And I do not, first of all, I would never do that because it would be wrong.
But secondly, I don't want to put anyone in a position where they might be breaking a local restriction.
It would be bad for you.
Right.
It would be very bad.
And I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to click on that and I'm not going to change it.
Even though I have well water,
I don't care.
I care about
the community and what life is going to be like.
I'm going to try to fix the problems that I know people will be facing in a hundred years from now.
yeah.
You know, it's like, for instance, thank God my grandfather saved the best buttonhook he could ever find.
And he was like, you know,
when my family,
when they are going to be buttoning their shoes, They're going to want the best buttonhook out there.
And he couldn't find it.
He had one.
He wanted a second one.
They weren't making them anymore.
And he's like, damn it.
In a hundred years, somebody will wish they had this buttonhook.
Yeah.
And that's what I want to do.
I want to make sure that we are planning 100 years in the future because we know what their life is going to be like, just like my grandfather did with his buttonhook.
100%.
And now you see that they're trying to get rid of the wood and coal-fired ovens in New York.
And that's, of course, predicting what could be going on in 100 years, just like back in 1900 when New Yorkers came together to come up and try to solve the biggest environmental issue of the day, which was how to remove all all the manure from the streets from the horses.
There were so many horses.
And as that city grows, Glenn, in 100 years, manure will be piled up everywhere.
How do they get rid of it?
It was a really crucial environmental issue of the day.
And thank God they solved it.
I can't remember how they solved it, but they solved it somehow.
They solved it with my grandfather's buttonhook.
Okay.
So
it was great.
Let me take a quick break and I want to tell you about American financing.
If you're like most Americans right now, you're definitely feeling the effects of inflation whether you're watching the numbers spiral at the gas pump or you know feel like getting robbed at gunpoint every time you say oh i got to stop for gas or i got to go to the grocery store
i love when we have to sell kidneys on the dark web so we can do some home repairs or some shopping the biden economy has um
Well, it's going to be one to be remembered, don't you think?
It's going to be interesting to see how this works out, Stu.
Consumer debt now is up over a trillion dollars.
Up, up,
over a trillion dollars since last year.
That's a historic jump.
Well, that's just because people are taking yachts out
or
their income isn't enough to be able to buy the things they actually need.
And so they're putting it on a credit card.
That's what's happening in America.
Please protect yourself.
If you can,
if you're over the barrel and you need to save money and you do have a home,
please consider, it's not right for everybody, but just call American Financing and see if they can't do what they've been doing for
thousands of people all across the country, saving an average of $700 every single month just by taking their credit cards and rolling it into your mortgage, you pay those credit cards off so they're off your back, and you're paying 5% or 6% interest as opposed to 20% interest.
Please find out if this is right for you.
I want you to go to
AmericanFinancing.net.
That's AmericanFinancing.net or call 800-906-2440.

10 seconds, station ID.
Yeah.
So let me, I want to play some audio
that has come out in the last few days.
You know, I don't know about you, but
it's not my favorite thing when I hear people, you know, marching in the street saying they're coming for my children.
Not my favorite.
Not my favorite.
You know, there are other things I'd rather hear marchers say than that.
But that's what they've been saying lately on the streets.
And I don't know about you, but I think that makes people
a little worried about their children.
And we talked to you yesterday about
people who are in the L and the G
and the B, and I guess the Q and the 2 plus, et cetera, et cetera, should probably tell the people, and this is not all trans people by any stretch of the imagination, telling the people who are pushing this garbage about our children, hey, you know, you're hurting the entire movement.
You're scaring people by saying you're coming for their children.
We talked to you about that tomorrow.
I've got much more on it.
I want to make sure that we cover this
because there are some very, very important things that are happening in the world that we're at a turning point on.
Also, Larry Fink from BlackRock talked about how he's ashamed to be part of the ESG political debate.
Hmm.
He's ashamed of it.
Now,
why is he ashamed?
Well,
because
it's being turned into a political debate, and he doesn't think finances should become political.
Larry, is that you, you little fink?
Oh my gosh.
I don't think everything should be turned into politics either.
But I'm not the guy who went to,
let's say,
a sneaker company and said,
if you don't do all of these things that make your product a political product,
we're not going to finance you.
That's the way it works, Larry.
I didn't make it political.
He says that people like me and most likely you, are making ESG political and he doesn't like it.
So our overlord is upset.
Now,
when Larry's upset,
everybody should be upset.
For me, when Larry's upset, I'm happy.
He said, you know, when I wrote those letters,
investment letters, you know, that basically said, we're going to force you to change.
He said it was never meant to be political, a political statement.
And I would agree with him.
I would agree with him.
It wasn't meant to be a political statement.
It was meant to be a threat, my way or the highway.
And I think that's an important distinction.
Stu?
I would agree.
I mean,
a political statement indicates there may be some debate involved.
But when you're telling someone that you're forcing them to do something, that's not a political statement at all.
That's a statement of force.
That's a statement, as you point out, a threat.
If I can do what I want to do, you will listen regardless of your opinion.
Politics implies some level of
an ability to push back against something like that.
So it's definitely not a political statement.
Yeah.
Well, he also doesn't want to get involved in conversations really about inflation because he says, you know, they're going to have to do more that the Federal Reserve,
maybe raising the interest rates two to four more times.
He said, but he didn't want to make it into a political thing because it's sticky.
So, and I i haven't gotten that kind of deep analysis uh from somebody like larry fan stu
i think this really clears it up inflation is sticky
and is you know it it is a bit sticky it tends to be sticky an issue that sticks around when you print multiple trillions of dollars out of thin air
every year well you can't just say that without all of the facts that's what makes it sticky Pointing things out like, hey, we're spending money.
You know, I hate the old drunken sailor thing.
Like whores on venereal disease, you know,
that's where we're spending money like crazy.
Yeah, yeah.
So
I mean, people don't talk about the cost of those antibacterial creams all that often, but it's true.
It's expensive stuff.
Right?
That's where things get sticky.
If you buy the wrong cream.
if you buy the writing, very, very sticky.
Very sticky.
Oh, boy.
We're down to this, and it's only Tuesday.
I need some sleep.
Back in just a minute.
The Glenn Bach program.
All right.
One of the easiest things in the world to do when you're in pain or even just facing something difficult is give up, walk away, pretend it doesn't exist.
Now, I've done that a few times in my life.
If you think, hmm, I wonder how that worked out for you.
I'll tell you some other time, but it's not really a happy ending.
I can't just dismiss pain.
When you are in real pain,
it takes everything in you just to concentrate or just to hide the pain so you're not always like
making faces.
You can't ignore it.
If you've tried everything, please try pain relief from Relief Factor.
ReliefFactor.com.
Go there now, get their three-week trial pack.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Tomorrow on the Blaze TV on my Wednesday night special, I am going to take you through
the progressive era.
I am going to show you something that,
well, I'll tell you, I'm taking you through a museum, part of the museum.
Some people are calling room zero, others are calling it the red pill room.
I'm calling it the red pill room because once you see it, you can't unsee it.
But it is room zero.
It's like ground zero.
That it leaves a mark mark and the waves go on forever.
It is about
scientifically codifying racism.
You know, it used to be that you couldn't,
you could have an opinion that was racist,
but then something happened in the 1800s, late 1800s, that all of a sudden science is saying it's not only a difference in color,
there's subhuman people, there is inferior people, and it was science that was saying that.
I'm going to show you the slope from there to where we are now
and a warning on why it has to change.
You're going to see some things on tomorrow's Wednesday night broadcast that you've probably never seen
before.
And we'll talk about it tomorrow, Wednesday night program, only on Blaze TV.
By the way, if you can't make it to the museum, I give you a quick tour of it.
I should do another one now that it's completely finished, but I did about an hour-long tour, and it was an exclusive for Blaze TV subscribers.
It is there now.
We have...
I've spent years and years collecting history, not for my own gratification.
In fact, not for my family's enrichment.
It's not going to my children or my family, unless, you know, they feel and I feel that they're going to be the ones to really truly protect it and share it with people.
But I'm collecting it because I believe it's being erased and it needs to be taught.
Over and over again,
I am
being told here just yesterday, 1,100 people went through the museum, and
the compliments on it or the comments on it are remarkable from people my age or you know even in their 40s they all say the same thing I learned more walking through that museum on history than I've ever learned my entire life it is really a remarkable thing
and you can see some of it on the exclusive museum tour.
I'll take you through it myself on Blaze TV.
So you don't have to be there and you don't have to worry about travel because travel is becoming, well, we have to save the planet.
So you might want to not get into an airplane or a car.
Unless it's for abortion.
We should be clear.
If you want to go travel to have an abortion, that is totally fine.
In fact, it is encouraged.
You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
I got this letter in from
a girl named Chloe.
She is probably 14 years old.
Her and her friends and her mom and dad took them through the museum.
And I get a card from her.
And
these kids that are coming through are remarkable, just remarkable.
So 13 or 14 years old, she said, dear Mr.
Beck, thank you for giving us a once-in-a-lifetime tour of your collection.
So many things that stirred my imagination and sparked so many questions about our country's history.
That's the best thing I could possibly read.
It sparked questions.
Here we are in a country where you're not encouraged to ask questions.
You're encouraged to obey and repeat.
You repeat what we say.
You don't ask questions.
You don't think about it.
You just repeat it and do it.
She said, one of the most important things
I saw was the replica of the Auschwitz gas chamber door.
This is an amazing piece.
You'll see this on the museum tour that I'm going to do Wednesday night.
It's in room zero.
And it is haunting.
It is an exact copy of the door in Auschwitz.
And
it just, it's weird.
Even the copy holds power to it.
She wrote, I studied the
Holocaust.
Some of my books mentioned the doors there, and this made it even more real to see what they were truly like.
I could only imagine the fear that people had going through that door.
I can't thank you enough for helping me learn history and what happened in the past so I can do my part to make sure a door like that never has to be used again.
Thank you
for sharing your stories and passing on your love of history to all of us.
I promise to spread the knowledge that I learn and share my love of history to others.
Chloe.
Isn't that fantastic?
As a 13-year-old girl.
And
it's amazing to watch the people go through.
with their kids.
I don't know.
Maybe it's just
the sampling that we have are more
homeschooled kids or I don't know, exceptional kids.
I don't know.
Maybe their parents raised them right to love history.
But I hated history growing up.
Absolutely hated it.
Couldn't, I mean, if I could claw my way out of anything other than PE, that was always my number one hate.
But if I could claw my way out of a class, it was history.
Really?
That's surprising considering where you are today.
Because we all know you're an art nerd.
That's clear.
We all know you don't like sports or any
other masculine behaviors.
But I'm surprised to know that you did not have an interest in history.
I can hear you, you know.
Oh, this is on the air.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
But, I mean, we all know that you went to like multiple Renaissance fairs.
You were, you know, you dressed up all the time
in old-timey clothing and played minstrel music,
I think.
And I think you go back far enough.
Menstrel music.
Okay,
whatever.
You go back far enough, and I kind of felt like he would be one of those guys who
really loved history.
Because, I mean, you're you're you talked about the
history of your town a lot from when I've known you, from going back.
Is that all stuff that you learn as an adult?
Because you've you seem to always be up on this stuff.
Yeah, everything other than, you know, knowing that George Washington, his house was called Mount Vernon and I grew up in Mount Vernon, Washington.
What a coincidence.
Other than that, I didn't really, I hated it because it was always about memorizing dates and names and places.
And
I can't tell you, you know,
the dates and names.
I can look that up if that's important.
But what happened, why they were fighting, the story of the people on both sides, that's what makes history interesting.
And it wasn't until I sobered up, quite honestly, and started, I think my search actually started when I was searching for meaning
and searching for just
truth and philosophy.
One of the first books I read as an adult in my 30s that I had read in school and just like, just flushed it down the toilet, who cares, was Plato.
When you're ready to read Plato
and you read the stories and the questions, not the answers per se, but the questions that they were asking, you realize, oh my gosh,
I'm not unusual.
These questions are basic to all of us.
And it sucks that we still are asking the same questions, but they have to be asked by the individual.
So I started reading that, and then I fell into a wormhole, you know, of that kind of stuff.
And
you go from there and you start to learn about people
from that time, and you start to see, wow, they really
struggled trying to figure things out.
And I fell in love with the story.
The story of Columbus is one of my favorite stories of all time.
I absolutely love Columbus because he's both simultaneously a villain and a good guy.
And that is the story of most of us.
You know, it's
the best stories.
Look at
Star Wars.
It is the story of Darth Vader, a good guy to start.
A bad guy for most of his life, and then a guy who wants to change
and doesn't think he can.
You know, Luke Skywalker, a guy who just wants to be left alone.
He has no interest in any of that other than for guts and glory.
He just wants to go be a fighter pilot for guts and glory, and it's a romantic image.
Other than that, he doesn't want to be involved.
And when he does get involved, it's the struggle of him staying on the right course.
That's everybody's story.
That's our country's story.
It's every country's story.
And then he stops shaving and ruins the entire series later on.
Did you see that?
That's weird.
Notice that I haven't shaved this week.
I'm about to wreck the story.
I'm about to do that.
There is also another thing that I want to share with you.
Honest History
is a podcast pilot episode of a new series that I'm hoping to turn into a full series, but I only want to do the things that connect with the audience.
And if you listen to this, I'm asking you sincerely.
Usually we say, make sure you rate and review because it helps the algorithm.
I'm not interested in the algorithm at this point.
This is a pilot and I'm putting it in front of you instead of doing a small test audience.
Why don't we just do the audience and you test it?
I'm interested in hearing what we can do better.
If it seems like something that you want to learn in this format,
this one is the pilot episode.
They'll come out in a series of four or five episodes, all trying to explain how we got here in one form or another.
And this one is, why are we all listening to the experts?
When were the last time the I mean, I want to listen to them when it, you know, when it comes to, hey, you shouldn't build that bridge out of cotton candy.
Okay, all right, I'm going to listen to you.
We're building a bridge.
But when it comes to things that we're questioning and they say, the experts have already answered this question, so don't question anymore.
How did we become those people here in America?
That's what this series is going to answer, the first four or five.
The first episode is finished and it's online, and we may not make another one if you don't like it.
So please let us know.
You can find it wherever you get your podcasts.
This one, the origin story of how the cult of expertise developed among the progressives and how these experts took a sledgehammer to our constitutional system of government with far, far-reaching consequences that we're still reaping the harvest today.
Honest History Podcast, you can find it now.
First episode, Control Freaks, The Scientific Roots of Progressive Tyranny.
It's available now wherever you get your podcast, and please rate and review.
All right, let me talk to you a little bit about the economy.
The experts say we're fine, the experts say inflation is transitory.
Of course, everything
life
is transitory,
but what happens between the start of it and the end of it kind of matters.
It's transitory.
Well, I think they meant it meaning that it was going to be short-lived.
It's not.
And in fact, it's going to get worse.
Why are we listening to the experts?
Here's what I want you to do.
If you think like I do, and God bless you if you don't, but if you have concerns that the
dollar is not going to be the world's reserve currency, just like the British sterling is no longer the the
world reserve currency and that our time is growing short you better prepare now experts will say gold is a very bad investment really because I started buying and telling other people outside of commercials to to buy gold when it was $200 an ounce.
Here's a hint.
It's not that anymore.
And I haven't lost any money.
It goes up and down and you can't promise anything, but I buy it as a hedge against insanity.
I buy it for inflationary reasons, for one.
Find out if it's right for you.

Some would ask why it isn't translating into more support for Joe Biden.
Out of ten doctors recommend camel cigarettes and people are just starting to really feel the effect of these programs that got put in place the first two years of Joe Biden's presidency.
He had a truly historic rate of success when it comes to major economic programs that are building the foundation and the infrastructure for America to lead the world, not just in in innovation, but in manufacturing.
The number of jobs we've created in exports again, people are starting to feel that now.
See, that's the thing.
I love it's just starting now.
It was one of those things that so far you may not have detected any success at all.
You may have detected complete and utter failure every single day of this administration, but right now it's just starting to kick in and the success will reign obviously.
You obviously did not have a mother or a grandmother that cooked in a crock pot.
Okay?
That soup looks bad for hours and hours and hours and all of a sudden it's wonderful.
Joe Biden is from a prior generation of crock pots.
That's America is in a giant crock pot and soon we'll look at that soup and say, mm,
good.
Mainly because it's a private partnership with Glamble Soup.
