Can the Senate Stop the DISASTER Debt Ceiling 'Deal'? | Guest: Sen. Mike Lee | 6/1/23

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

So let me tell you about Father's Day.

It's coming up.

What's dad's style when it comes to clothing?

I mean, like, for instance, I can't wear it.

I'm not wearing this out.

Well, you are watching the blade.

I'm not wearing this out without my wife going, what the?

You're not wearing that.

Okay, well.

Here's the deal.

Your dad has that kind of style.

American Giant, founded on the idea of making an American difference.

Everything is made in America by Americans.

It is really good clothing.

By American today, American-giant.com/slash Glenn.

Great, kind of just golf clothing, you know, casual clothing, really comfortable.

American-giant.com/slash Glenn.

We gotta stand together as a car survived.

Stand up, stand, 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.

Well, according to Gallup, the poverty rate of $30,000 doesn't cut it anymore.

In fact, for a family of four, they're saying now that people need at least $85,000 just to get by.

That's triple the poverty rate.

Huh.

I wonder what that could be caused from.

I mean,

not inflation, right?

I mean, well, what causes inflation?

Certainly not government spending.

Oh, on that front, good news.

The McCarthy bill passed.

Yeah.

And there's really good things coming up.

First of all, we avoided that funding crunch, you know, that catastrophe that would not ever happen without the

Secretary of Treasury and the President deciding not to pay our bills.

And the Republicans, they're saying there's just all kinds of wins there.

You know, like

many more omnibuses.

CBO found

it's going to affect food stamps.

Yeah.

In fact,

it's going to expand food stamps.

So all the things that...

I,

gosh, I wish I hadn't been right on McCarthy.

All the things I I thought about McCarthy and then hoped.

Well, no, maybe he's different.

No, they're never different.

Oh my gosh, these people.

Well, now it goes to the Senate, and there are people like Mike Lee and Ted Cruz and others who are standing up and saying, not on my watch.

Do they have a chance?

What's the strategy?

Mike Lee joins us in 60 seconds.

I don't know about you, but I like comfortability.

I like durability.

I like both of those things together, you know, when I sleep, when I'm, when I'm with a towel, you know, I have a towel.

We were staying at a hotel recently that was,

well, I should say not five stars.

In fact, I don't know if it had any stars.

And

they're the towels.

Have you ever used the towels that you like?

A washcloth is more absorbent, but they're huge, but they like you dry off your face.

And you're like, okay, well, I need another towel.

If you would like really great towels for $25,

mypillow.com has a six-towel set.

Right now, they'll sell out fast.

They're machine-washable, durable, come in multiple sizes and styles.

Okay, Mike, so what's the strategy now?

The strategy now is to make sure that the United States Senate is fully informed before its members vote on this, and to make sure that the United States Senate has the opportunity to cast votes on a few amendments that identify some of the more egregious errors.

You could either call them drafting errors, if you wanted to assume good faith on the part of those who wrote them, or you could call them efforts to repair malicious damage inflicted by whoever wrote this, trying to make virtually every cost savings measure in this bill feckless and almost ineffective.

Okay, so go through some of them.

All right, so my personal

favorite in the sense of really getting me worked up is this Section 265 of the bill.

Section 265 nullifies completely the regulatory pay-as-you-go measure, or PAYGO, as they call it.

The REG PAYGO provision in Section 263.

Then in 265, just after the provision that promised to bring about accountability for government as it expands the regulatory footprint of the federal government, it says, oh, by the way, the director of President Biden's Office of Management and Budget, Shalanda Young, may at her sole discretion decide not to follow bees.

Oh my God.

Just exempt herself from it.

And you know, Blen, the funny thing is I discovered this about 48 hours ago.

And it was Tuesday morning when I was reading through that particular provision and discovered, oh my gosh, this could be a problem.

And a lot of people aren't going to read this or understand what it means.

So I've got to talk about it.

I kid you not, by the end of the day, Shalanda Young herself, OMB director, at a White House briefing, came out and said, yeah, of course I will use that provision.

And I will use that provision to defend and prop up President Biden's regulatory agenda.

So

they're not even being mysterious about this.

So this regulatory accountability, it was supposed to start with and end with the Reigns Act, which would put Congress back in charge of making the law instead of allowing law to be made by unelected, unaccountable, bureaucratic pinheads.

They stripped that out and they put this one in as a replacement.

with Kevin McCarthy,

who I genuinely like as a human being.

I've long really liked Kevin personally.

But he came out and said, yeah, we didn't get rains.

We didn't even get a short-term reigns, which is something they should have used as a fallback, which I'd suggested, at least rain for the duration of this Congress.

But we did get something almost as good as that, which is this regulatory pay go feature, only it doesn't work.

It was built to fail, built to do nothing.

What is the regulatory pay go, which the one you just talked about?

Okay, so it would require the administration, each time it issues a new regulation, to establish what the cost of it would be and to ensure that they're not increasing the net cost of regulatory compliance.

Right.

See,

this may seem odd to put in a debt ceiling deal, but it actually makes perfect sense because we can't get out of our debt crisis solely by cutting.

We need to cut, yes, and we need to cut a lot.

We need to grow.

Our debt is so huge that we need to grow at the same time we cut.

And so what we're left with is no real cuts, at least not very much, and I'll go over that in a second.

And the pro-growth stuff doesn't work either because it was built to fail.

Now, I don't think Kevin knew this.

I think he was deceived by someone giving him bad advice.

But it is what it is.

And I'm pushing an amendment today to strike Section 265 to make this thing at least less bad.

Okay.

So,

Mike,

you know, we've got Romney's coming out of our nose in Washington.

Are you going to be able to get enough Republicans to help?

Look,

I'm whipping the vote among Senate Republicans.

I believe that we're going to have at least 20 no votes.

I'm going to try to push that figure higher.

I'd like to get it north of 25.

Between 25 and 30 would be a good outcome.

What would be an even better outcome, Glenn,

is we get through some of this and we start voting on some of these amendments to strike some of the more egregious provisions

and also at the same time highlight the bill's deficiencies.

And in the process, perhaps either repair it so that it actually does something good, or alternatively, if it can't be repaired, defeat this thing so that we can go back to the drawing board and get something that actually works.

There's no reason we have to be up against this false deadline established by Janet Yellen.

We're just days away.

from the moment when we're going to start receiving these quarterly tax payments that once they're in, will take us into mid to late July before we have to do a thing.

We shouldn't wait that long.

We ought to act now.

But there's no reason we have to act at this moment

between now and Monday.

So, you know, you've got Mitch McConnell standing there saying, we're going to pass it today.

Yeah, he wants to pass it today.

And I respectfully, but very, very strongly disagree with him.

Look,

we've got to make sure that the American people and those they elected to represent them know what this thing does.

And I believe a lot of the people who voted for this last night, at least the Republicans, didn't fully understand what it did.

They had drunk the Kool-Aid.

They had been fed misinformation, perhaps in good faith, I don't know,

by Republican leadership over there.

But you know, Glenn, something interesting happened.

First, 71

House heroes were born last night.

71 House heroes who emerged despite despite aggressive efforts by Republican leadership and the news media to force them to vote for something, they stood up and they voted no.

You know what's interesting, Glenn?

More Democrats voted for this bill in the House

than Republicans.

I know.

More Democrats voted for it.

I have heard

Republican in Michigan.

I don't know if this is true, but I have heard that there were earmarks given to key Democrats to help them whip the vote.

There may well have been.

I have no way of knowing that.

But what I do know is more of them voted for it than did Republicans, and more Republicans voted against it than did Democrats.

And yet this was an effort that was supposed to be some sort of win.

And within minutes after that vote was cast and the result was known, you had Democrats in the House saying things like, okay, I guess we can gloat now.

We can finally gloat now that this is passed.

That we totally played them.

And they did, in fact, play Republicans.

Of course they did.

Of course they did.

Because I swear to you, we have the IQ among all Republican leadership, in my opinion.

We have the IQ of a dog and a dumb dog, possibly a dead dog at that.

Look, I won't speak to their IQ, and I don't know that that is the problem.

I don't think it is.

I think that the problem is they're too eager to hear what they want to hear, that something can be done easily, that there can be a kumbaya moment that's not going to have problems with it.

And so sometimes they look the other way when it comes how many mike

i've i'm sorry i mean i i appreciate your being much more christ-like than i am uh mike you know you're not questioning their iq but how dumb do you have to be to fall for the same trick every time since the day i was born

look glenn you're not going to tell me santa claus isn't real again are you because that really upsets me when you go there

i mean look let's let's look let's get back for a second to the spending issues because this is another glaring omission and something that irritates me to know and what they're saying.

They're claiming that this thing saves between, I don't know, $1.5 and $2 trillion.

It doesn't.

It's smoked in mirrors.

Look, in year one, the Limit, Save, Grow Act, the one passed a few weeks ago by the House, would have saved about $1 trillion in the first year alone.

That's how you tell whether it's serious, is what it does in the first year.

Because that's the one that's immediately under our control as we're doing this thing.

It's the same Congress acting in the same moment in the same legislation.

This one, do you want to know how much it saves in year one?

About $12 billion.

$12 billion as compared to about $1.2 trillion.

And some would say even more because the expense, the cost of the Green New Deal tax credits adopted by the Democrats, which they were clawing back, which they were going to halt,

are now understood as likely to be even more expensive than we expected.

But this one saves only about $12 billion,

possibly as few as six.

You know, they claw back $28 billion of unspent COVID funds, and then they immediately create a new slush fund in the Department of Commerce for $22 billion.

Nobody knows what it does.

Nobody knows what it means.

They're just moving it there so they can spend it somewhere else.

I mean, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

There shouldn't be any slush funds for any department.

I mean,

Mike, what does the Commerce Department do?

What could they possibly do?

They're very important things.

And in this provision, I believe the language is something along the lines of establishing business, necessary high-tech business infrastructure.

Who the hell knows what that means?

I think, honestly, it's there to serve as a slush fund to make sure that they have money when they feel like it for something else.

Mike, how can we help you?

Okay.

So

first of all,

I hope and pray

that

senators will pay attention today, that they will continue to read the bill, that they'll study the bill, that they will listen to arguments being made.

Those of us who are proposing amendments and demanding that they be debated and voted on, on, well, pay attention carefully to what's being said and ask the question, is this really what the American people need?

Not just what they deserve, but what they desperately need right now.

Could we do better?

And secondly, anyone who

has the ear

of a United States Senator, as most constituents do in one way or another, Reach out to them and ask how they're voting and express your views about how you feel about this bill.

If you feel as I do that this bill is a whole lot of smoke in mirrors and that doesn't really save anything and that it may end up costing more money, let them know.

Yet another point, they promised work requirements.

There were work requirements attached to Medicaid, attached to food stamps, and attached to another federal welfare program called CANIPS in the original limit, save, grow plan.

They were great reforms, would have saved money and would have also helped people get out of poverty, making poverty temporary rather than tolerable and sustainable long-term as poverty.

This is a pro-growth and pro-human thriving sort of measure.

You know what they did in this bill?

They said, oh yeah, we've got work requirements until you read the fine print.

And you see that they stripped out all of the Medicaid work requirements.

The CANF requirements are essentially awash, essentially meaningless at best.

Then you've got...

the food stamp work requirements.

Those appeared at first blush to do something to save money.

And then we found out last night that, according to the Congressional Budget Office, it actually costs more money.

It's going to cost us a couple of billion dollars, not save us anything, but cost.

Yeah, but

wait, we're saving upside down.

And we're saving money with the IRS, though, right?

Yeah.

Okay, so I think it's less than $2 billion

out of $80 billion.

$2 billion.

$2 billion out of $80 billion.

That is not just a drop in the bucket, that is a drop in the ocean as far as we're concerned.

This still puts us in a position where we've deployed this veritable army of people to harass the American people.

And we don't want that.

We don't need that.

And we need the money to not be spent.

The last thing, Thomas Massey was on yesterday, said this is going to avoid

an omnibus bill.

And I've heard now that people are saying, no, this is going to cause another omnibus bill.

Look, I love Thomas Massey.

He's one of my favorite people in all of Congress.

And he's someone I rarely disagree with.

And I don't question his motives.

He is dead wrong.

Dead wrong here.

Look,

everyone makes mistakes from time to time.

He definitely made one here.

He's dead wrong.

This provision he's talking about that will supposedly bring about an automatic 1% cut.

No, no.

It might have that effect.

If the 1% cut kicked in on October 1st, the day after Congress failed to adopt a spending bill or a series of spending bills.

It doesn't kick in until January 1st.

So that three-month interregnum between Congress's failure to pass something and the moment the 1% kick, the cut

kicks in.

During that period, there's going to be enormous groundswell pressure from the UNI Party,

from the Washington swamp.

To pass it.

We'll encourage Congress to pass a giant, giant, bloated, expensive omnibus, or perhaps a large CR with some omnibus-like creatures dwelling within it, or a series of what they call minibus bills.

Either way, we're going to spend more money, not less, as a result of this.

I wish Thomas Messi were right.

He's dead wrong here.

We will,

hopefully, the phones will ring in the Senate today.

Thank you so much for all your hard work.

Keep fighting, Mike.

Thanks so much, Glenn.

Thanks so much for keeping America informed.

Thanks.

Please call your senator today.

Got to call all of your Republican senators.

Don't waste your dime on Mitt Romney's of the world, but call all of them, all of them.

Make it clear, no on this.

Relief factor.

Relief factor, if pain has gotten aggressive with you, You get up in the morning, it's kicking you around like a soccer ball.

It only gets worse as the day goes on.

I know how that feels, and you got to get your life back.

Debilitating pain make you feel like doing nothing other than turning over in bed and going back to sleep, but there's a lot of life left.

So live it and live it to your fullest.

Try the three-week quick start.

It's 1995.

It's a trial pack.

So it was developed by doctors to not whack you out.

It's not a drug.

It works on inflammation.

And hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor.

And about 70% of them go on to order more.

Go to ReliefFactor.com, ReliefFactor.com, or call 800, the number for relief.

1995, three-week quick start.

Relief Factor.com, 800 for relief.

Feel the difference.

10 seconds, station ID.

You know, I think the only way this happens is if the phone lines are overwhelmed.

And then it's still sketchy.

But if the phone lines are jammed, if people are calling the Capitol today to talk to their congressman, their senator, senators now, but kick the butt of all those that didn't, or call and thank the 70 that said, I'm not voting for this,

make sure you call your senator today, because that's the only way.

They don't, they're not listening.

They're completely detached.

And I do think some of them are being duped.

And I do think others have nefarious reasons.

But,

you know, at best case scenario, they're being duped.

They're being duped.

Yeah, I don't think they're being duped.

I mean, I think they're being.

I know I don't think so either.

I think maybe they were being duped initially.

They all know what's in this thing now.

I mean, the fact that they're, you know, you think, okay, we spent a bunch of money on COVID, trillions of dollars, by the way.

The fact that there's, you know, $28 billion left sitting around doing nothing,

obviously, that should just go back to either pay the money we borrowed back or as a tax rebate to people.

What do you mean it's a really slush fund for another department that doesn't even know what they're going to do with it?

Yeah.

I mean, the fact that that is in there, the fact that only $2 billion of $80.

How much money is schloshing around in the administration where they're accomplishing anything they want to, and no one's stopping them?

You've got to call your senator and say, no,

no,

don't vote yes on this.

I will remember

when you come up for re-election.

The Glenn Back program.

Childhood memories are funny things.

The older you get, the more distance you put between who you are now and who you were then.

And the memory starts to get a little fuzzy.

It's kind of a shame because i have favorite memories and i want to remember them those memories that were caught on film or videotape if you haven't looked at them especially if you're keeping them in the basement the attic or the garage they could be dust by now You've got to preserve these things.

We are our own historians, and it makes a difference to future generations to know where they came from, to know who these people were, to see how we lived.

We're glad you're here.

You know, I was just doing that commercial for Legacy Box a minute ago,

and I can't tell you how important it is to

save your history and preserve the history as much as you can.

We are entering a time.

You know, I was talking to James Lindsay yesterday on the air, and he was talking about how

white extremists and

white supremacists are going to become synonymous with Christian nationalists.

Now,

how do you decide what a Christian nationalist is?

Well, whoever is in charge gets to decide the meaning of those words.

And it is now trending towards anyone who believes

in the superiority or the

divine appointing, if you will, of the United States of America, that God was involved in writing our Constitution and Declaration of Independence.

Well, all of the founders believe that.

I believe that.

Now, that doesn't give a special right to lord over everyone, which we're doing,

but

I believe that we were saved by God several times.

This time, I think, you know, as we're praying, God's like, oh, oh, they're finally calling.

Yeah, they're on hold.

Yeah, tell him it'll be a while.

I mean,

I think he's going to, until we get it,

he's not going to pay attention to us.

We've got to turn to him.

Anyway, what I just said to you will be deemed Christian nationalism.

It's not.

It's not.

I believe in our founding and I believe in the influence of God on our founding and our country, but I do so in a humble way,

not this arrogant, we'll tell everybody else how to live.

I don't have any intention of turning anyone

into,

you know, turn against their faith, turn against their religion.

You know, hey, you got to join mine.

No, no, I will live my life in a way to be a good example.

And if you're interested in what makes me that way, Jesus Christ, then you can ask.

And I have, and I talk about these things on the air, but if you don't believe that, that's okay.

It's okay.

That's not Christian nationalism.

As I was talking to James Lindsay,

I realized I have the

one of the largest collections in the world of things that will all be deemed Christian nationalist.

These will be dangerous, Nazi-like artifacts because they

show the difference between good and evil.

They show when we are building our house on sand and when we're building our house on rock, another biblical principle.

All of the things that the founders wrote, that'll be Nazi stuff.

I was doing some work

a couple of days ago

on

the museum that is being seen.

Everything is sold out.

All the tickets for the museum in Idaho sold out.

We're only doing it two days there.

They're 10 days in St.

George.

And so at the, I think on the second and third day, there's a few spots at night.

But I urge you to get your tickets because when we come, it'll be too late.

Unless there's tickets available still, but I doubt there will be.

But

you can get those tickets to come to the museum.

Go to unitedwepledge.org.

I urge you and your family to do it.

Because quite honestly, I've been saying this, this is a trial to put this thing on the road.

But

I'm not sure we're going to be able to put it on the road.

I'm not sure

that this collection's not going to be lost in some boating accident.

It'd be horrible if I went out in a fishing boat with the entire collection and all of those founding documents, but

you know,

stranger things have happened, Stu.

Really?

Yeah,

that would be pretty strange.

It would be strange, but they might all be lost in a boating accident

because

they must be preserved.

When I started collecting all of this stuff,

I mean, you won't believe the stuff that we have.

Oh, I was going to tell you, I was doing some research on this.

And

I have what's called the red pill section.

And the red pill section, I don't advise you to bring your little kids to.

Little kids.

They're teenagers.

They should be able to handle it.

But it is how man

decided that man was God.

and it starts with origin of the species

and descent of man and origin of the species it's

it's the survival of the fittest races okay

it it it it it talks about half baked humans basically you know half monkey people You know where this is going.

This is how it got into science and people started following the science.

And before you know it, we had the progressive era and you have Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood right now is saying, when it comes to your abortion, any reason is the right reason.

Telling your abortion story is important because the more we talk about this essential form of health care, the more normalized it becomes.

Well, not on my watch.

So I'm doing some research because I want to have accurate quotes from everybody in this red pill room.

And one part of it is Roe versus Wade.

Is it murder or is it compassion?

Well, who said what?

Found this.

Now you tell me why we've never heard this.

Maybe you've heard it.

I've never heard this.

Frankly, I had thought at the time

When Roe was decided, there was a concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of.

So I really thought Roe was going to be set up for Medicaid funding for abortion.

Who said that?

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, July 7th, 2009.

2009

in the New York Times.

I invite you to look it up.

In fact, I would print it.

I would burn it to disc because you never know when that link is going to be lost.

Frankly, I had thought at the time Roe was decided there was concern about population growth.

And this is the part.

Population growth, people worried about that.

Okay.

Not a problem.

People worried about that in the 1960s and early 70s.

But she goes further than that.

Particularly, growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of.

What population would that be, Ruth?

What population would that be?

These people haven't changed.

Haven't changed at all.

They are the same progressive monsters that believe they should control your life, decide who lives and who dies, because they are gods.

There is no God bigger than the government, and they're in the government, therefore they make the godlike rules.

I pray every day for

you.

I pray every day for

our country.

I pray for our enemies.

I pray for guidance.

But I always beg the Lord, please not in the usual way if you can avoid it.

But please humble us.

A great humbling is coming because we have detect whether you believe in God or not, when you start running your society on lies,

on complete falsehoods,

when you have taken provable facts and said they're just the opposite, it won't last.

How long would your job last if you were running the counter at McDonald's?

And people were coming in and saying, oh, this is really good.

And you said, in this case, the truth, it's really kind of crappy for you.

How long would your job last?

How long would McDonald's last if everybody that was behind the counter at McDonald's was saying, you know, these are really unhealthy.

I don't eat the stuff myself, but here's your bag.

This time,

they're telling you complete lies.

Oh, there's rat poison in that.

Yeah, this is, they make it with rat poison.

I don't want to tell you that, but somebody's got to tell you, it's rat poison.

How long would they last if everybody decided that two and two does equal five?

And everybody behind the counter looked at each other when you were paying the bill and they're like, No, you don't understand math.

Wait, no, it two plus two is four.

No, it's not, it's five.

Right, Bill?

Yeah, that's right.

You would go out of business.

How do you think you can run a society, a civilization,

when you cannot agree on true, eternal principles.

You don't have to believe in God.

Believe in math.

Back in a minute.

Imagine if you made a movie in China and had all the Chinese actors, they only spoke Chinese.

There was a suspicious lack of references to Taiwan.

you know, and then it was put on DVDs in China and shipped to America where they took those DVDs and put them in plastic cases made right here in the USA.

Now, would that be an American movie?

No, I don't think so.

Do you know that 85% of our grass-fed beef is born, raised, fed in some other country, and then shipped here, killed, cut up, and they call that an American product?

No, it's not.

And our ranchers are suffering.

Our farms are suffering.

You can't do the math on farms.

You kill the farms, give it to these elites like

Bill Gates.

What do you think we're going to be eating?

Anyway, good ranchers will save you a lot of money.

You can feel good about, you know, the 100% American beef, locally sourced meat, if you're putting on your grill, on your plate, fish, chicken, beef.

You got it from America.

And it's delicious.

You lock in your price.

Who's saying inflation is going to get worse?

No.

Good ranchers lock in the price.

So when is the last time you checked the legal title to your home?

If the answer to that is never, then congratulations.

You have a life and you're an American citizen who doesn't think about these things.

Why would you?

It's not supposed to be something you're responsible for.

Once you buy the house, you have the title.

You shouldn't have to check it every single day.

You don't do that with your car title.

Problem is, homes titles are online and the criminal can get access to hundreds of thousands of dollars if they are able to commit the crime of home title fraud.

And so what do you do?

Well, you got to protect yourself.

You can sit here and you can complain about it.

We can go to the government and wait for them to change it.

Maybe they'll pass a new law.

Maybe, maybe it's somewhere in the new debt agreement.

Maybe they've solved it already, right?

Yeah, in one section, but then they delete the next.

So home title fraud is fully legal now.

It's like the purge for home title fraud.

So you got to protect yourself.

And the way to do that is home title lock.

Home title lock helps shut this kind of thing down.

It's what they do.

They do it better than anyone.

You don't want to find out about this after the damage has been done.

So be proactive and stop the crime before it happens, before they legalize the home title fraud purge.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We're glad that you're here.

I gave this story yesterday, but I don't think I could give it enough times.

Record drug shortages across the United States are delaying life-saving treatments for thousands of patients around the country.

Congress in the White House now scrambling to address a shortfall in prescription drugs, everything from painkillers to cancer treatments.

Hospitals all across the country on a regular basis, sometimes weekly, have to review which drugs are in short supply or not available that week.

I don't know if you've been to CVS or wherever you get your

medicine from, if you have been touched at all by this.

The shortage is being most acutely felt in the generic drug market, which accounts for nearly 90%.

The U.S.

reached a peak level of 295 active drug shortages.

The FDA says, no, no, no, it's only 130.

The American Society of Health says, no, no, it's 301 drugs that are missing off the shelves.

The FDA says the drug shortage lasts usually for about 18 months.

Shortages, however, have stretched on for 15 years.

The short supply includes Adderall, Tylenol, antibiotics including amoxicillin, saline mixtures used in IVs, and almost two dozen kinds of anti-cancer drugs.

Just be prepared.

There are things on this one you absolutely can do.

This one has been bothering me for a long time.

And I'm just remembering that I think I told you at this time yesterday the same story.

So I got to tell it again later on in the show, I think.

So the rest of the audience, you know, the schlubs that you're here right at the beginning.

You know, you're here.

It's the people that roll in later that we have to make up for.

I mean, if we're going to save people from medication shortfalls, it really should be these people, not the other ones.

Right.

The other ones come in late.

They're not even here for the whole show.

Whatever.

Anyway.

Anyway, and this is not a commercial.

I do commercials for them, but

this has bothered me for 20 years.

How do you do this?

If you're on heart medication, what do you do?

You're on

some sort of

psychiatric medication,

blood pressure.

What do you do?

There is a company called Jace Medical.

And I think that's the address, isn't it?

JaceMedical.com, J-A-S-E Medical.

And they're now starting to

make year-long prescriptions and filling a year's worth of prescriptions so you have it in your home, including things like, you know, if you have diabetes, because that ain't going to last long.

That's not going to last long.

Yeah, and they also have the Jace case.

Yeah, and those are antibiotics.

Yeah, so I mean, this is the issue, issue.

I think, like, we've seen what the supply chain thing can do.

We kind of got a preview of this already.

Yeah.

You know, I waited 14 months for a car.

Yeah.

You know, I know this.

And I'm not joking here.

I'm not joking.

Okay.

My house, I'm going on vacation for two weeks.

When I come back, I am told my house will be officially finished.

Do you believe it?

No.

No, I don't.

But I mean, it's all been slowdowns from, you know, I still walk into places all the time and they're like, yeah, we don't have any of those things.

We don't, we don't.

What do you?

I'm looking for sandpaper.

Yeah, we're all out.

We're all out.

What do you mean you're all out?

Learn your lesson and please be prepared.

Let me tell you about Grip Six, shall I?

Grip Six is one of the companies that, you know, I'm the luckiest man in the world because I don't have to take commercials

and I can say no.

And we have people lined up, literally lined up to buy commercials for this time next year already.

And so I only take the ones that I really want to do business with.

And so I'm looking for companies that are entrepreneurial,

that are American and understand the work ethic in America.

And one of those companies is Grip 6.

Now, this is a small company.

And for instance, they make socks.

That's probably their biggest seller right now.

But

they have gone to Americans,

to ranchers that breed, you know, modern wool.

They breed these animals.

Then they take that wool and use an American manufacturer to wash it, process it, weave it into socks, and they sell you the socks.

100% American.

Only American-made products and American labor.

So why is everybody so hopped up on

war in Ukraine?

Why are we spending so much money over there?

What exactly is happening?

Who's running this country?

And is anybody listening to the people?

I have Chad Robicho joining me here in just a second.

He's been to Ukraine.

He's seen it firsthand.

But I want to start with a couple of theories, a couple of facts that you don't know, probably,

and a couple of theories.

Who's running this?

Why are we so seemingly eager to go to war in 60 seconds?

Patriot Mobile, it seems like it wasn't that long ago when the third rail for conversation in business was the same at the dinner table, religion and politics.

If you were smart in business, you left that stuff alone and focused on making your customer happy.

Do

appeal to everyone because everybody needs a light bulb or everybody needs a cell phone.

So why would I cut my audience in half?

But then the rise of wokeness murdered that notion in our society.

And just like in the 1930s in other places, everything became political.

Absolutely everything.

Well, I'm not going to play that game.

It's why I have the blaze.

I don't worry about being fired.

The only person that's going to fire me is you.

So I don't worry about it.

It's a parallel economy.

Well, with the cell phones, there is a group of people that were sick of every time they picked up their phone, if they were using Verizon, they were making a contribution to Planned Parenthood because that's who they were donating to.

No thank you.

I think one of the

bravest and most honest speeches given by any president in the last

70 to 100 years came from Dwight Eisenhower.

Here's just a clip of what he said in his farewell address.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.

The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes.

He went on, this was used as, you're a conspiracy theorist if you believe in that.

Huh.

And it discredited a lot of people.

And I always remember hearing the vast right-wing,

the military-industrial complex.

I grew up believing it was a conspiracy.

Interesting how that works.

And yet, where are we today?

Who's actually making the decisions?

Why are we in Ukraine?

Well, there's a couple of reasons, I think.

It would be the way,

usually when there is a collapse of trust, a trust implosion, I've talked about it for years.

Trust implosion is usually the last sign before a country goes to war and then it resets everything.

So that's one theory.

We just want to go to war to collapse the old system into a new system.

And nobody will say anything because they just want the war to stop.

The next one is, I think, a very good chance.

We're just laundering money over in Ukraine.

There's lots of money coming back into the United States.

Your tax dollars, going to oligarchs and then coming back here.

I think historians will find

that everywhere.

However, that's speculation.

I will tell you that the military-industrial complex, the educational industrial complex, which he also warned about,

and the scientific industrial complex, which he also warned about, Those three things and what he warned is happening.

Back in March, the Pentagon announced a budget for a whopping $842 billion.

It expanded authority for multi-year contracts for the supply of aircraft, ships, and ammunition.

Guess where the majority of that money is going to go to?

Defense contractors, otherwise known as the military military-industrial complex.

CBS just did a story that said half of the Pentagon's budget, half will go to defense contractors.

Meanwhile, some of our soldiers have to have food stamps.

Surprise, surprise, CBS found that these defense contractors are gouging the government with insanely inflated prices.

Do you want to know why Ukraine is so important?

I want you to listen to this.

The Pentagon granted companies unprecedented leeway to monitor themselves.

Instead of saving money, Assad told us the price of almost everything began to rise.

In the competitive environment before the companies consolidated, a shoulder-fired Stinger missile cost $25,000 in 1991.

With Raytheon now the sole supplier, it cost more than $400,000 to replace each missile sent to Ukraine.

Even accounting for inflation and some improvements, that's a seven-fold increase.

A seven-fold increase.

Now, since when has technology made things more expensive?

These have been around forever.

And they're getting more expensive?

What technology does that?

Especially when you're making them in bulk.

So a seven-fold increase.

CNN reported that Ukraine has asked for 500 Stinger missiles, $400,000 apiece, 500 Stinger missiles.

Per day,

per

day, that's $20 million

every day

we're giving to Ukraine just in Stinger missiles.

Last year, the Pentagon had allocated nearly $1.5 billion

just to restock our own troops with that weapon.

This is the fattest cash cow ever.

The United States is giving these defense contractors all of this money.

They're making things, shipping them.

Do you know some of the stuff from Ukraine was just found on our border?

Did you know that?

How did that happen?

How did that happen?

Defense contractors are making record-shattering profits.

Now, we looked at the list of the top 10 contractors in the country.

Stu

when I say the military-industrial complex, who do you think?

I mean, big defense contractors.

Like?

Raytheon.

Raytheon.

Okay.

McDonnell Douglas.

Sure.

Stuff like that.

Do you know four of the top 10?

are pharmaceutical companies?

Four of the top 10.

Two of of the four were the largest vaccine providers.

Moderna, which partnered with the government creating the mRNA COVID vaccine.

Okay.

Two of the four

were the COVID vaccine providers, and four of them are pharmaceutical companies.

Is that just a one-off because of COVID or what's the reasoning for that?

I don't.

I mean, well, they have to make sure everybody's inoculated.

Right.

Got that going on.

Now, they do have a bunch of other vaccines that the military members receive, right?

Four of the top ten are pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical companies, and

the guys making the Stinger missiles.

Again, when one missile costs $400,000,

how could these programs possibly be costing the central?

Remember, who was the harshest on getting the vaccines?

The Pentagon.

But the vaccine doesn't cost four hundred thousand dollars a shot there's something else going on there is something else going on I don't know what it is but the government has partnered with all of these people and they are bilking you

they are taking your money and transferring that wealth not to the poor but to the uber rich

That's who's running this country.

The military industrial complex, the scientific industrial complex, and the educational industrial complex.

All three warned about

by Eisenhower.

I mean, think of this.

Everything, just the military-industrial complex.

Pandemic response, vaccines, forever wars.

I don't know.

When Biden announced his presidential transition team, it was discovered that one-third of his Pentagon team came from organizations financed by defense contractors.

Once he became president, he began filling top Pentagon positions with weapons suppliers.

Last year, Biden traveled to Lockheed Martin, the largest defense contractor in the country, to cheer him on as they made the javelin missiles to be sent to Ukraine.

So who's running this war?

The figurehead-in-chief or the owner of the companies that are now making billions off of this war?

25 members of Congress sat on the National Security Committees.

At the same time, those 25 members traded financial assets with the defense industry.

You imagine how rich you can be if you know a giant contract you've just been a part of approving is going and nobody else knows it, and it's not illegal for you to use that insider information.

You know how much this is how these people go to Washington and become rich.

You're working hard.

They're trading on

insider information and they're being led by the nose.

The corruption is

staggering, staggering.

And the only way to stop it is to give the purse strings back to Congress

as dictated in the Declaration or in the Constitution of the United States.

The Constitution is set up for a reason, checks and balances.

The purse strings go to the branch that is the closest to the people, the House.

And they tried to do something yesterday.

And 70 members, 70 Republicans, I told you yesterday, I feel like we do actually have some good Republicans in there.

Those 70 members, I'm going to post them.

I want you to know their names.

Those are people that stood up and said, nope, we're not passing it because this is a game.

Those 70 members, and I think there were 43

Democrats.

We'll have to look at why they said they weren't going to, because some of them were like, you know, it's not enough communism.

Right.

Yeah.

Mostly, that was the opposition there.

Yeah.

However, I think we have people fighting for us.

Today it's going to the Senate.

Everything you're hearing about this bill is garbage.

I don't know about you.

If I'm going to understand a bill, I'm going to go to Mike Lee.

Mike Lee is, I mean, Mike Lee is the guy in the Senate everybody goes to.

Mike, what does this mean?

He's the guy.

He was just on.

He said, Glenn, this is a disastrous bill.

Disastrous.

It cannot pass.

He said, it is just free spending forever.

All of the little things, you know, we had Thomas Massey on and bless his heart.

I don't mean that in a southern sort of way.

He is a good guy, but he was duped.

He was duped.

Today is the day.

We are,

if you don't act

today,

you may lose your country tomorrow.

And I think there are far too few people in America that believe that could be true.

But as sure as I

said in 1999, within 10 years, there'll be blood, bodies, and buildings in the streets of this city, New York City, and it will have the signature of Osama bin Laden on it.

Said that in 99.

It didn't wait 10 years.

Everybody said that I was crazy.

I'm telling you, one day you're going to wake up and you're going to realize

it's gone.

It's gone.

Stand up today and call your senator and tell your senators, call all of the Republicans, do not, I will remember how you voted and all of my friends and I will, I will make sure

we remind everybody.

I don't care if it's in four years,

I'm going to remind everyone,

don't don't vote for you.

This is the line.

No,

no more out-of-control spending.

Because

I would bet you, I can't guarantee, I would bet you, I'd bet you my house

that all this money sloshing around, going over to Ukraine,

a lot of it.

is being used to literally dismantle our country from our enemies inside our country.

And there's too many slush funds.

And all of those dollars have your name on it.

No.

Call the Senate and say no.

All right.

Our sponsor this half hour is American Financing.

The Federal Reserve has continued to raise interest rates.

It looks like they're going to do it again this month, which means that money's going to get harder and tougher for you.

If you were a business, with the amount of money that the United States has to finance for the slush funds,

you think you're going to get any of that money from a bank?

No, they're going to make it really hard for you.

And your credit card bills are going to go up to the moon, Alice.

You don't need to be tacking additional years into paying those things off, especially when you don't know how bad things are going to get economically over the next few years.

Batten down the hatches.

Now, this may not be right for everybody, but I certainly would consider it.

If you have high interest credit cards that you're just paying the minimum payment on,

you are going to really, really struggle as this interest rate continues to go up.

And right now, American Financing is saving people between an average of $700 to $1,000 a month.

Plus, you could be able to delay up to two mortgage payments, close in as little as 10 days, and get that credit card off your plate.

10 seconds, station ID.

Stu, you said something to me in my ear as we were going, and I cannot remember what.

Yeah, you nodded and you said yes, and then, of course, obviously you weren't listening to me at all.

I just wanted to point people to all this information that you did.

You did, and this is available on the full show that you did this week,

YouTube channel, Blaze TV.

Go watch it, get all the information.

Yeah, this was the military-industrial complex.

I don't remember what we even called it, but it was like, you know, who's really running the country?

Why everyone seems to be running to Ukraine.

Lindsey Graham, do you know what?

Found an incredible quote from Lindsey Graham.

He's, you know, all pro-war.

He said,

he said, if...

The best friend of a defense contractor could be a senator, his name would be Lindsey Graham.

Something like that, something outrageous.

Like, if there was a contractor voting for this stuff in the Senate, his name would be Lindsey Graham.

I'm like, what do you that a brag?

It's a weird thing.

It is a weird brag, but he loves it.

And

it's another money laundering system.

It really is bad.

And, you know, of course, it also, it's not a money, a money laundering system is bad.

A money laundering system that risks World War III,

kind of worse.

Stuart, you know, I laid this out last night.

Just think, America, think of it this way.

This is not a pro-Putin statement, okay?

I think what Russia did is absolutely wrong.

They've killed hundreds of thousands of people.

It's horrible.

With that said, think of it this way.

Russia came to us, and I'll show you last night.

I'll show you everything.

They came and they wanted a deal with the United States, and all they wanted was, you're not going to make them a NATO country.

Easy for us to say.

Reagan said it.

Now we're not.

Okay.

Easy.

Instead,

Biden, when they came and made a deal, Ukraine and the Russians had a deal, and we said no.

Boris Johnson comes back in and says, Absolutely not.

And we break the deal up right before any of this happens.

Why?

Why?

Now, I want you to think of it from Russia's point of view.

What they're saying is, you cannot put those missiles and you cannot have a NATO country in right on our border.

Now, let's just say rolls are reversed.

We're not talking even missiles, which I think are worse.

We're saying, you know, the borders are out of control.

Mexico's not doing anything.

We need to take a hundred mile or 50-mile swath of certain parts of Mexico.

And so we just march in and take it.

And then Mexico is is like, we got to fight back, but we can't fight America.

And Russia starts to arm them with the latest, greatest technology.

And then they start using that technology in our cities.

And then they say, we're not just going to stop there.

We don't want just our land back.

We're going to take some of yours.

And Russia was saying, oh, and the toppling of the American government is what we want.

Do you think we would sit around and not use everything?

My gosh.

It's one of those days.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Glad you're here.

I don't know what it is going to take.

I was talking to somebody yesterday from Sweden.

They're a journalist in Sweden.

And she was in the office.

And I said, how are things going with ESG?

And she said, nobody in Europe really even understands it.

And I, I said to her,

who can, who do you know that is speaking out?

Who can

have an impact in Europe on this?

And she said, nobody.

They just shutting everybody down.

You can't do it.

And if it wasn't for Russell Brand and quite honestly, you, this audience, I don't think America would have gotten it either.

And they're way ahead of us in some places.

We're way ahead of them in other places.

But,

you know, all of this stuff,

what you're being told is not true.

And the military-industrial complex, the scientific industrial complex, and the educational industrial complex, all making money from the government.

And with this new budget deal, we'll make even more money

and grow even bigger.

They're the ones calling the shots.

It's all private-public partnerships.

They're the ones calling the shots.

And I just, I don't know how when you are against war.

First of all, I don't know what happened to all the anti-war people.

What happened to them?

Where did you go?

Where's Cindy, what, Cindy Sheehan?

Where are you?

Where are you?

When we righteously

wanted to strike back after 9-11, all these, not in my my name.

Okay, now I can understand maybe Iraq, but Afghanistan.

And that's not, you know, saying for the strategy was pretty poor, but

where are you now?

You're all for it.

Why?

Because you don't believe a damn word you're saying.

The ones that do are switching sides and they're not coming and they're like, I'm all of a sudden

conservative.

They're just getting out of that cesspool.

and they're like i can't be uh

what they say is a liberal i can't be a democrat because that goes against everything i've always believed where are more of those people where are more of those people where are the people that understand as i explained ukraine with our own border any doubt in your mind stew

If we, just to protect ourselves, we said we're going to take, I don't know, 20 miles past our border and we're just going to annex it because it's chaos and we need to be on the other side of the river to stop it.

You know, this is never going to happen.

But let's say we did that.

Are you proposing this as a policy?

Because it does sound interesting.

Yes.

So let's just say we did that

for our own security as a nation

because Mexico just wouldn't help us.

They were working against us.

Even if it was irrational.

Yeah.

We just did it.

We were just aggressors.

We crossed this border.

Correct.

We would be wrong for doing it, but we did it.

Okay.

And Mexico couldn't defend themselves against us.

And so Russia stepped in and said, this is an abomination.

Even if we all knew, yeah, it really was wrong of us to do that, but

we did it for the right reasons, our own security.

Russia starts arming the Mexicans and training the Mexicans.

And we should point out, too, an important part of this, publicly.

Yeah, publicly.

Not like leaking in arms in some proxy situation that we're like, we don't know what you're talking about.

We're not sending them missiles.

No, openly.

Openly doing press conferences and bragging about

and sending them.

Did you see the latest?

We're sending them more drones.

Russia in Moscow is being attacked by drones.

And so what do we do?

We send the Ukrainians more drones?

Okay, so then let's say Mexico, with the help of Russia, comes, takes back some of that territory, but then starts to move in, take San Antonio.

It's like, you know what?

You started it.

We're taking it.

And they took San Antonio.

And it was all being financed and run by the Russians who were openly saying we're going to topple that regime.

Do you think we wouldn't use nukes if we had to?

Do you think we wouldn't declare war?

We would declare war on the russians in a heartbeat if that was the situation why is it so unreasonable to think that with all that we are doing that they're not they're showing incredible restraint because i don't think we'd have that restraint

and if they're bad i don't i'm not sticking up for putin or the russians

i hate what they're doing but i mean like if you look at if you kind of look at this as pretty obviously it would turn into world war three if we actually got into a war with Russia.

Right.

Yeah.

It's World War III.

And the and the end of the dollar and everything else because the dollar collapses.

We have no armaments because what have we been doing?

We've been giving them all away.

And what is stopping this, the only thing stopping it right now solely is the restraint of Vladimir Putin, which by the way.

is not something I can depend on.

He's shown over and over again.

He has almost no restraint.

He just went in and invaded a country completely in a completely ridiculous fashion and in a legal fashion, an abhorrent fashion.

I mean, this invasion, I can't say enough how much I hate it.

That being said,

if this same scenario played out the other way, we would 100% be at war with the ⁇ we would be outwardly saying we are at war with Russia.

And in a way, they are saying that.

Now, they haven't acted that way yet, thankfully.

Russia has not.

They have said, they've had officials come out and say, we are at war with the West.

We are at war these, with, with the United States.

You know why we were at war with Japan?

We cut off their oil.

That's why.

We forced other countries

to isolate them and cut off their oil.

Started exactly the same way as you're saying that predating Pearl Harbor.

Yeah, predating Pearl Harbor.

That causes Pearl Harbor.

Yeah, that causes Pearl Harbor.

That's why we go.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So look, congratulations.

And I don't know.

Let's think about it in another way.

Ronald Reagan in his prime.

One of the best, certainly the guy who maybe most credit globally for ending the Cold War.

A guy who really knew this issue, was really strong on it.

And I have as much faith in a president to execute something like this as I could possibly have with Ronald Reagan.

If he were there, maybe

you could make the argument.

Well,

this is a very slippery slope and a really tough line to walk, but you know, if anybody could do it, it's Ronald Reagan.

Instead, we have Joe Biden and Kamala Harris attempting to walk this line.

And this Pentagon.

And this Pentagon, which is a different situation than it was back in the day.

No.

Maybe we will

bless us to avoid a World War III scenario.

Maybe.

Man,

I mean, it's going to take him to avoid it.

These guys are hell-bent on this.

And it's not Reagan.

And I wouldn't support it with Reagan.

But at least I'd have some faith that he'd make the best decisions possible.

He wouldn't be doing what we're doing.

And even if you don't think like it's something that's intentional, just the bumbling idiocy of these people.

They can't do anything right.

So anything.

And we're trying to micromanage World War III on the backs of these buffoons.

Can I just do a Red Cell session with you right now?

You know what Red Cell is.

It's a wargaming gaming thing that the government does with fiction writers.

Okay.

And they're just like, think of the different possibilities.

Let's war game this out.

Well, so let me let me red cell game this out as

someone who wishes our country ill and is on the inside.

We've got a problem with

these Republicans and the Trump supporters and the people who are for the Constitution.

And they're gaining steam and it's not going to be good.

We've got to silence them.

I know.

Well, we were, and then Elon Musk shows up.

Well, put the screws to him some more, but that's not going to be enough because people still have some hope.

Is there anything in history?

Well, Woodrow Wilson, he said he wasn't going to get us in.

If you just elect him again, he would keep us out of the war.

And then, right after he was elected, he got us into a war, which allowed him to then say freedom of speech had to be curbed.

And so he could silence all of the people who were against the war, and he put them in prison.

Now, the next president came in and pardoned them, but he put them in prison.

So, you want to silence people.

You want to collapse the economy.

You want to be able to

have military or police take control internally,

I think this is a good plan.

Let's go to war.

And look, he had control, Wilson had control of the Justice Department and everything else.

They did a, there was the Black Tom, I've talked about this before, but nobody knows it, the Black Tom event, like 1914 or 13, and it's this gigantic explosion of all of these munitions.

And the munitions blow up because there was a German saboteur that came in and set fire to the place.

Well, it was right before the election, and Wilson was saying, we can't go to war, and so

I can't have a German saboteur be responsible for that.

So he blamed the corporations that don't care about people's safety because it works with my other plan.

Okay?

These corporations, we need an expert.

And so he did nothing about it.

And then the world kind of forgot about it

until,

until

December 7th, the Pentagon had done a research for FDR because he said, I want to round up all these Japanese, they're enemies.

And they're like Japanese Americans?

No, I don't think so.

He sent a general out to do a study.

He did.

He came back and he's like, you're wrong.

They're good Americans.

They're not spies.

You're telling me there's not going to be a spy.

Well, no, I'm not telling you that, but I'm telling you the majority are good Americans and you can't do it.

December 7th happened.

And he comes out and says,

December 7th, you know, we saw what could be done and there could be saboteurs.

And if you remember Black Tom, we have the report now on what really happened.

And that was a German saboteur.

And that could happen here.

And he used

that

20 years later to round up the Japanese.

And he did it with the entire industrial complex backing him up.

He did it with the entire government backing him up.

So you're saying that a lot of the stuff

related to Ukraine is out of the Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste playbook, right?

Oh my gosh.

I think this is the biggest money laundering scam ever.

I think this is

corruption central.

Because this is obviously a very real event with Russia invading.

Yeah, and our reaction to it is

they're taking advantage of it.

Exactly right.

Exactly right.

They're taking advantage of it.

They're doing it with ESG.

They're doing it with the oil.

So they accomplished that.

I think they are doing it to grow the military-industrial complex as well and the scientific complex.

They're also, I mean, this is pure speculation, but I don't trust that there's not a lot of money and a lot of weapons being sold on the black market or coming back here in the form of cash from offshore accounts into accounts of Americans.

This is redistribution of wealth, except all these stupid Marxists that are for all of these people are like, yeah, we're going to get it.

No, you are going to to get it, believe me, but it's not going to be the power of the money.

All of it is going to the top, making the rich and the evil rich, and there is a difference, the evil rich richer.

It's just my opinion.

Back in just a second.

Michael lives in Connecticut.

He used to play a lot of tennis, at least he used to, until he started having regular and debilitating pain in his right elbow.

At first, he just lost his killer serve.

Then eventually, he couldn't play at all anymore.

That affected his life.

When he heard me talking about on this show Relief Factor, he decided he'd give it a try.

I mean, what did he have to lose?

Michael, I'm glad that you took it and I'm glad you wrote in.

He said, after a few weeks, he started to feel better, decided to go out and play tennis again.

He said, my killer serve has returned.

The Glenn Beck Program.

So, I want to take you back, what was it, a week and a half ago, the Missouri man who took a U-Haul.

He was from St.

Louis.

He flies out to Washington.

He has a plan to kill the president or kidnap a member of the president's family, shoot up the White House, and take over.

Okay, clearly, the guy's nuts.

He comes in and he tries to bash through the gates of the White House with a U-Haul truck.

Why a U-Haul truck?

Why?

Why don't you just rent a car?

There's nothing in it.

What are you doing?

You think the truck is going to help you?

Maybe, maybe.

Okay, so he rents the U-Haul truck.

Then all kinds of things I've never seen before happen.

He is in his car, and as he gets out, he is holding a Nazi flag

and waving that around.

Okay, why?

He's not a white supremacist.

He's Indian.

He's from India.

Okay.

He's a legal citizen here, but he's from India.

So what happens next?

The prosecutor drops the charges on the attempt to harm or kill the president or his family, and they just charge him with

mischief and property damage.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Now, the prosecutors argued last week that he needs to remain behind bars.

Now, listen to this sentence.

Due to his anti-democratic views, he expressed in a speech inside the defendant's journal.

No, that's not why he should remain behind bars because of what he wrote or what he believed.

No,

the fact that he took that belief and went to the White House to kill the president.

That's the crime.

Not what he wrote in his journal, not his belief.

What the hell is going on with this case?

We'll keep following it, quite honestly, so you don't have to.

What you're about to hear

is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

program.

Ella, you sick twisted freak.

Welcome to the program.

Have you called your senators yet?

You should, because everything you're hearing in the media and from McCarthy and all of these people about how great this is, absolutely wrong.

The guy I trust to look at any bill, in fact, he is the go-to guy in the House and the Senate.

Everybody goes to him and says, hey, what does this really say?

Is Mike Lee?

He is beside himself

with what is actually in this bill.

It's worse than nothing.

It's worse than that.

Call your senator.

They're voting on it probably today.

And

he says there's 20 senators right now lockstep.

They will not vote for it on the Republican side.

He said we can stop it if we can get 25 to 30.

Call your senator.

Texas, have you called Cornyn?

Have you made that call yet?

Utah, have you called Mitt Romney yet?

Remind them that they work for you politely.

Remind them they work for you and they're coming up for a job review soon.

And you will work on anybody's campaign.

I'll work on Benji the Dog's campaign.

And Benji's been dead since like 1978.

I'll elect a dead dog over you.

Vote

no.

This message paid for by Benji2024.

Goldline is celebrating Memorial Day for the whole week with a special offer to both their new and existing

clients with just this spending bill.

It's so crazy.

The cuts in one portion are negated in the very next section where it's like, yeah, the White House sole discretion, they can stop that last thing that we were saying.

We don't even need,

we're not even going to read it.

You could have $6 trillion spent by January 2025.

Okay?

$6

trillion

added.

This is insanity.

And you know what happens?

They're not going to, nobody's going to pay for that.

Nobody's going to lend that to us.

Oh, yeah, China's going to lend it.

Nobody's going to lend that to us.

They're going to have to just write an IOU

because they're already through all your Social Security money, write an IOU to the Federal Reserve,

the banks, and they'll print the money and then they'll spend it.

And then

they're going to spend it and expect you to go out and buy things, but you don't have any money because

already,

if you're living at $55,000 a year, you are already over the

new poverty.

It's actually $33,000 a year is the poverty line, but

you know, people generally say $50,000 and you can kind of make it.

Family of four, you're making $80,000 a year.

You're not making it.

You're not making it.

And that's all because of inflation.

What do you think's coming?

Goldline celebrating Memorial Day this week with special offer to both new and existing clients.

Sometimes I forget I'm in a commercial.

With every tube of 25 of Goldline's popular one quarter ounce Mayflower Gold Round, you're going to receive at no charge, either five of the five ounce silver American flag bars,

or you can opt to receive 25 of the one ounce Liberty Bell silver rounds.

When it comes to gold, buy as small as you possibly can.

When it comes to silver,

maybe the five ounce bar.

I like the one-ounce Liberty Bell silver rounds.

And silver is going to play a role in a transition period, I think.

866 Goldline, 866Goldline or Goldline.com.

Stu

do you have on your

to-do list to prepare for, you know, trouble?

Alcohol.

Now, I'm asking you as an alcoholic.

To prepare for trouble?

No.

To prepare for this weekend?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

I think.

Now, remember, I'm an alcoholic whose faith also restricts alcohol.

Right.

And I'm saying, go to the liquor store.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

Here's why.

It is.

anesthesia anesthesia if there is no painkillers.

It is also,

you know,

not as good as rubbing alcohol, but tastes better.

You know, you can use it for many things.

And there's going to be a lot of people that are just going to want to trade for alcohol.

Wait a minute, you have alcohol?

Now tell them that you have it buried in a backyard some far, far away place from your house.

But

we have to start thinking about trade and trading.

You know, and you can get Bud Light cheap right now.

So go out and buy Bud Light is what Glenn Beck just said.

Here's what I want.

I want a Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light can.

There were only like 10 made or something like that.

I thought there was only one made.

No, I thought Dylan made Mulvaney had it.

Yeah, I'm not sure.

I think that there was a few of them that were made.

Because didn't he come up with a tray of a bunch of them?

Maybe you're right.

Yeah.

But

they didn't sell them.

That I know.

Not that I would trade that.

I just think that is an important piece of American history.

It's a pretty important piece.

But obviously,

you don't necessarily want to go with the the carbonated beverage route for your particular needs here.

Would that be something that would be allowable,

you know, faith-wise for you?

Like,

if you're using it for

medicinal purposes.

Yes.

So, you know, there you go.

There's your route, Glenn.

I mean, I don't know if the

jerk is sick, Glenn.

Am I?

Yeah.

Really?

You know, I should diagnose myself.

I am a doctor.

Yeah, that's right.

You found your way to the door.

This is really not good.

This is really not good.

No.

No, but you really think that that is something.

Yeah, I think there's,

and I think we have to start really,

I mean, there's not a lot of people that are thinking this way.

Not enough.

Not enough.

That

really understand

this could come flying apart at any minute.

At any minute.

You go to war with Russia.

Done.

You have.

If they don't pass this, you actually have a Secretary of our Treasury and a president that might actually default on

the debt

to

win their

send a message.

There's no way we default on the debt.

None.

There's ships.

You would just pay.

Well, you would not pay other bills for us.

Yes.

Right.

Like you would just make sure our creditors got their money.

Correct.

Just like, by the way, everyone would do, right?

Everyone does.

When you have a problem financially for a month you make sure your credit cards are paid your mortgage is paid your car payments paid and maybe you don't go out to the movies maybe you don't do those extra things that month if you're cutting corners maybe you don't go buy new clothes that month you want to fix the country that's how that's honestly what you do you because you you just don't you don't raise the debt ceiling period i don't there's no deal you can make i'm not raising the debt ceiling No.

Do you think 31.4 trillion is enough?

Is that what you're trying to tell me right now?

I mean, more is always better, you know, but I'm thinking no.

Right.

Like, you know, and like if we were in a rational society where we could say, all right, let's say 35 trillion, but it it will be constitutionally guaranteed we could never go over that number.

Like something crazy like that, which would never happen.

But if that were to be true, like you could make the argument, all right, we've gone a long way down this really wrong road.

Let's turn ourselves around.

Might take a few steps.

We've got a lot of momentum going down here.

Take a a few steps to slow ourselves down and then turn around and go the other way.

Stay away from that 35 trillion number at all costs.

But we have no ability to do that.

We're not even considering it.

I mean, all these deals don't plan to actually keep us under some future debt limit number.

It's just a negotiation point to do a little bit of cost cutting around the edges.

And if you talk to Mike Lee, you're not even really getting that.

But like, if they were trying to sell this to us, Glenn is like, okay, look, the president of the United States told us he wasn't even going to talk about this.

He just wanted it raised for nothing.

He spent 97 days not even negotiating.

The only reason we're close to this deadline at all is because of him saying, no, I won't talk to you.

So considering we started with absolutely nothing, the fact that we reclaimed $2 billion from the IRS is a win.

It's a crappy...

$2

billion.

Now, you know, I don't believe this.

I know, but I know that.

I know.

I was pitching it that way.

And you said, all right, look, they had 80 billion.

Now they got 78.

It's a little bit better.

We don't have any power to do with this by ourselves.

They still have the presidency.

They still have the Senate.

So look,

we take the small win here and fight it out later on.

So the IRS, we just cut $2 billion, but not really.

$2 billion.

They were given, what, $87 billion

for new workforce?

$87.

$78 remaining.

Okay, $78 remaining.

Think about what they can buy with $78 billion.

$78 billion.

That should be a decade of funding to the IRS?

Oh, yeah.

So

try this on for size.

The IRS, just in the last two years, has spent over $10 million on weaponry and gear.

They also began hiring agents that will carry

guns and make arrests with job openings now in all 50 states.

Broken down.

2.3 million has been spent on ammunition alone.

The remaining has gone into shields, rifles, and tactical shotguns.

They better not be black rifles.

If someone breaks the law,

I guess it's a tax law.

Do we have to have the SWAT team?

Open the books, broke down the numbers, indicating 4,500 guns, over 5 million rounds of ammunition, ammunition have been stockpiled.

There are now more federal agents with arrest and firearm authority, 200,000, than there are U.S.

Marines, 186,000.

I don't know.

I think they can, you know, we lasted this long without

SWAT teams for the farmers.

And the tax accountants.

It's what you have an FBI for, I thought.

This is almost like it's building an army.

Hmm.

I have to tell you, I am.

I told you today that

I'm in the middle of acquiring a

lot of history.

I just purchased

the bell

from the bell tower.

I can't remember the name of the Catholic Church,

but it was the Catholic Church.

Most people don't know.

Nagasaki was where Christians hid out for years up until like 1900.

It was illegal to be Christian.

So all the underground church in Japan was in Nagasaki.

And then when it became legal, the Catholics built this giant cathedral there.

It was a thousand yards away from the bomb.

And so it was holding mass at the time.

Obviously, everyone vaporized.

And you should see the pictures of this cathedral before and after.

There's nothing left.

All of the bells, but one

melted.

Gone.

One remained.

I just acquired that.

You'll see that in St.

George.

It's going to be really incredible stuff.

It's incredible stuff.

Incredible stuff.

And you know some of the other things that I'm trying to acquire now that are incredible.

Stunning, right?

It's overwhelming, honestly.

I mean, we've done museums before that were really good, but

the level that this is at now is really getting insane.

Insane.

Insane.

And we're taking a lot of it, not all of it by far.

You'll in fact probably see maybe

2%, 1%, 2% of the museum's collection.

And I have a family member, an uncle, who's a history teacher.

And he was down here, I don't know,

two years ago now.

And you took him on a tour of the museum, which is, what, half the size of what it is now?

And he was completely blown away about all the stuff that was in there.

I mean, it's incredible.

You'll learn more about history just in that 90 minutes that you're there than you'll ever.

You've ever learned in your life, most likely, unless you're a, well, I think even if you went to school, but if you went to school recently, especially.

But I am really becoming concerned that

this is not going to be able to be seen soon.

I really think that we are headed down a road where

this stuff

could be claimed.

It would be destroyed.

It would be claimed as the government just coming in and saying,

that's national treasure, whatever.

Destroyed.

Come see it.

Come see it this summer.

Take your family.

There's only

and they're generally in the later afternoon or early, early morning or later at night for a few days or left.

The tickets already sold out in Idaho.

About 90% sold out in

St.

George.

And I mean, this was a test to see if I could put it on the road year-round.

I'm not sure that we can.

Some of the things we have to do to protect it and and everything else, and I'm just not sure.

It might have to be, it might pray that it's not lost in a horrible boating accident because that would be, well, dig a very big boat and a very big lake, but it could happen.

It's really irresponsible for you to take them out on the water.

I know.

I'm not planning on it, but you never know.

All right.

You can find the tickets at unitedwepledge.org.

United We Pledge.org.

And there's also a dinner.

The dinner in St.

George all sold out, but the fundraising dinner in Idaho, I think it just went up for sale.

So there's a couple of stories here.

First of all, there was the story we haven't covered yet about

about joe biden i'm trying to find it that the the new things that are out now about

uh

hunter biden are are extraordinarily disturbing they are really starting to pile up um

ray yesterday met with congress from the fbi um because the congress had

a a confidential source from the fbi that that was a trusted source of the FBI that came in and filed a report and said, your

vice president, Joe Biden at the time, is taking bribes.

And here it is, and it's $5 million.

And here's how it's working.

And it outlines all of it.

So the House said, you've got to come and bring that document.

And they subpoenaed.

And the FBI stonewalled, stonewalled, stonewalled.

Well, last night was the, or yesterday was the day.

And Christopher Wray said, well, you can come to my office and see it, but I'm not bringing it to the Capitol.

And they said, Chuck Grassley said, fine, that's fine.

We'll come over and see it.

But

we're also going to press charges on contempt with you.

So Comer and Grassley went over and saw this.

We don't know what's in it.

But the question is not just what's in it.

What did the FBI do in investigation?

And the speculation, again, speculation.

I don't have any inside intelligence

tells us today.

I don't have any, this is speculation.

That they didn't do anything.

In fact, they started to discredit the confidential human source.

Okay, so somebody they trusted,

when he filed this, they started to discredit him and they didn't do anything looking into it.

That's as important

as the bribery.

If the Justice Department is burying things and discrediting people that have evidence that, hey, corruption is happening, that's just as bad.

So Biden, whether he committed bribery or not, I don't know.

But what did the FBI and Justice Department do when they got that information?

That's going to be interesting to

watch.

An interesting addition to the Ray thing, too, is right now, like, you know, the Trump team is saying, like, look at Ron DeSantis.

He

showed approval of Christopher Wray.

Do you believe that?

And DeSantis' team is like, wait a minute, Trump, that was your nominee.

And they're going back and forth.

Can we just take that one off the table?

Like, everyone was wrong on that.

We should just point out.

The one senator who did vote against Christopher Wray, one, was Rand Paul.

And so if you want to to give him anyone credit on that particular issue, it's Rand Paul.

All the candidates that are currently in the race, they don't get to really talk about that.

Can I ask you,

how weird is it that Donald Trump is saying that

New York was better than Florida in deaths and COVID?

I don't even.

As a man who happens to be the purveyor of AndrewCuomoWasAwful.com, please don't get me started on this particular point.

It is.

I mean,

there is no way to make that case.

No way to make that case.

No, and look, Trump doesn't believe it.

We all know he doesn't believe it.

He's just saying it because right now he's in a war with DeSantis.

He was much more honest back when he was criticizing Cuomo.

He doesn't believe Cuomo is better than anybody.

We all know that, but it's the game that we're going to play here for the next year.

Get ready, everybody.

I'm excited.

I love it when we have infighting and we're shooting each other.

Anyway, sometimes sleep is hard.

You wouldn't think something so simple would be so difficult to accomplish.

I know my kids have it down.

Everything about youth.

Wasted on those kids.

Wasted.

I think you should be born old because once you have wisdom, then you're ready to do stuff.

Anyway, there's something called relief factor sleep.

Just like the regular relief factor that you take to help with your pain, relief factor sleep is 100% drug-free.

I will tell you as parents, my wife and I have had a hard time sleeping recently.

In fact, my wife said to me, I don't think I've really slept well for maybe three days.

I'm taking some relief factor sleep.

I asked her the next day, did you get any sleep last night?

She's like, I slept like a log.

It really helps.

You do not feel it the next day at all.

Unleash the power of great sleep.

Stu and I are actually sitting here going, all right, so

where do we go?

I mean, where do we go?

Do we go?

And he's like, St.

Kitts.

And I'm like, St.

Kitts?

You can't go to St.

Kitts.

I'm a big fan of the kids.

St.

Kitts got rich there in the first place.

But St.

Kitts, very affordable global citizenship package.

Not that I've looked into it at all.

You know, you've got

the Caribbean Island.

Yeah, because I feel like, because you're always like, oh, we got to go to like Israel and get citizenship.

They're getting attacked now.

I would rather be vaporized while I'm standing.

You know what I mean?

While I'm with a bunch of people going, yeah, we're going to fight and stand for what is...

That's fine.

Burn my shadow into the sidewalk.

As long as all of us are standing.

Yeah.

But see, see, I've learned this from my many, many years as a sports fan, Clinton.

And you know, my two main teams, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Toronto Blue Jays, which have all both of them since I was a child.

And they're much different.

Eagles fans,

anywhere you walk in an Eagles shirt around here, really anywhere in America, you're likely to get hit in the head with a brick.

That is probably going to happen to you.

Correct.

Yeah.

Toronto Blue Jays fans, never, they don't care at all.

No one hates the Blue Jays because they're completely irrelevant.

And this is what I'm going for.

Who would even who even knows that St.

Kitts is a place?

Let alone a place where people might be.

So if I'm escaping, I'm going to St.

Kitts.

By the way, maybe I'm not going there.

Don't forget this.

He lost the travel brochure and the passport application in a boating accident.

In a boating accident.

On the way to St.

Kitts, forget it.

Tragic.

You've got some.

I mean,

they're going to invade everybody else.

Everyone's going to talk about the big ones with all the weapons.

We're just going to be this nice little island.

And we're going to go to the beach and eat a couple coconuts and pineapples or whatever's there.

Well, I'll find out when I get there.

And, you know, very affordable packages, quote unquote.

So look, this is, if you need me, just go to St.

Kitts or Nevis.

So I'm going on vacation on Saturday.

To St.

Kitts?

No.

No.

My son just graduated.

His heritage is Scotland, Scottish.

So we're going to Scotland.

And

this company that is providing

this tour for us,

I don't even know.

I don't know who their clientele are.

I just met them know, in happenstance, and they're like historians that do like history tours.

And I'm like, you got to be kidding.

That's exactly what I'm looking for.

You don't get a lot of work, do you?

Sounds like the beginning of a Nicolas Cage movie.

Yeah, it does.

So anyway, so I was talking to these guys, and

we started talking about the world today because in

Scotland, they're starting to make the 15-minute cities where

everything is there in 15 minutes of what you want.

Everything is there.

So there's no reason to drive.

No reason.

You don't need to go anywhere that you can't walk within 15 minutes.

And I said, this is really getting weird and spooky.

And

he said,

well,

it's not very much longer before you're not traveling internationally or very far.

And I'm like,

he said, the WEF, he said, it's clear the groundwork that they are laying now over in Europe that you might be able to take a vacation, but you have to save your carbon credits.

So maybe you go to Europe once, or maybe you just stay in your own country or your own region, that this,

all of this stuff is coming down because of the carbon.

situation.

That's insane.

And I keep thinking that, you know,

I've tried to get a passport to Israel because I really am serious.

I'd rather be vaporized standing.

But

on the beach, watching the mushroom cloud in the distance.

I know, I know, I know.

But I really don't think there's not, I think wherever you are is where you will be.

So if you want to, you know, if you're someplace and you're like, I don't mind living here for the rest of my life and everything I have is within a 15-minute walk, good luck.

That's where you're going to be and i think when this by 2030 i think when this really hits that's where life's going to be as soon as especially as soon as you get cars that you know

everybody can shut off which is why i always have the nav system removed from my car

but that's just me

um

and a faraday cage you can buy them for your car i'm just saying

it's just bizarre that we're talking this stuff i mean i think it's fascinating to look at, but it's also like weird.

You don't know where this world is going.

And I think feel like you get to that point where it just feels like

you have no idea what's around the corner anymore.

Correct.

Like it used to be, I think we lived in a predictable place for a very long time.

And I think that's exited.

It's exited the building.

But we, we lived, honestly, if you're my age, you are the luckiest generation of

humans to ever walk the earth.

Really, I think.

I think that's not true.

Well, I mean, it doesn't have to be, but I'm saying historically, where we are right now.

Certainly up to this point.

Up to this point, you are the, you grew up after the World Wars, and sure, we had the scare of the Soviet missiles and we've had other wars, et cetera.

But

look at the 1950s and the 60s and even the 70s and 80s in America, where we were really accomplishing things men have never accomplished before.

You can say that all the way into the 90s and with

technology, I think up until 2010, you know, when the iPhone came out, because that, I think, was poison to the society and our children, you know, when we had social media and everybody starts looking down at their phone.

But that period,

I mean, what

an unbelievable time period we have been blessed to live in.

And if we're not willing to not go to Target

in defense of that,

well, I mean,

there's nothing, nothing would ever make you stand up, you know?

Let me ask you a question.

Okay.

Just a theoretical question.

All right.

What if, what if, what if, yeah, okay, your pharmacy

is CVS

inside of Target.

What if your pharmacy is CVS inside of Target?

Are you allowed to walk into Target to get your medication?

At night wearing a mask.

Okay.

Well, not a mask mask.

You know, you don't want to protect yourself.

You want to protect yourself from sunglasses.

Dark sunglasses.

I saw somebody with a with a with a bag, a Target bag the other day.

And I just looked at, I knew, I knew them, and they're you know walking into their house and i just slow down stop the car and i just point at the bag and they're like all of a sudden like oh crap i've been caught and i rolled out the window and i said

don't let me ever see you with a target bag and there might be somebody that's wearing dark glasses and a hat carrying a bag that might look like you

But that's the only way I ever want to see you carrying a target bag.

And they just laughed.

It is.

And now, technically, this is not supposed to start.

Well, today's the first day, right?

It's Friday.

Everybody's changing their logos.

Everyone's doing all the

rainbow.

Blaze is still has not changed the logo yet.

No, it doesn't.

It's going to have to happen.

It's not going to happen.

It's not going to happen.

It's not going to happen.

Because I think that there is

an interesting part of this in that these companies have all seen what's happened the last couple of weeks with Bud Light and Target, right?

And they've all had for six months this plan to be super woke as they enter this month.

And now I guarantee a lot of them are wrestling with what do we do?

Like one company that I won't mention

because I don't know this to be 100% true, but

decided to post

a single post about Pride Month rather than changing their logo.

And I know this for somebody who works there, but like I don't have it confirmed enough to go on the air with it.

But it was, they were like, they had a plan to change the logo.

And because all this stuff happened, they decided, you know what?

We'll put out one on June 1st and then we'll act like it never happened.

You know, so they're still kind of checking the box with the Pride Month, but it's not going to be beating you over the head every time you go to their account for the 30 days.

Now, I'm not saying that that's

some sort of solution or anything, but it is interesting that some of these companies are actually feeling the pressure and saying, hey, like,

let's

we actually feel, we feel the conservative complaint here for once because usually they don't know, they just don't care.

No, they don't care.

They don't care.

You know who really had it made?

Who really had it made?

Too bad they're so woke because they'd go, oh, man, let's reintroduce the NBC Peacock

for Pride Week.

That's interesting.

Yeah.

I was thinking about, can you, what about Skittles?

Are you allowed to eat Skittles this month?

Is that okay?

I mean, to to taste the rainbow, it feels a little weird this month.

It feels like something that might not taste as good as you think it does.

Yeah.

Okay.

If you're watching like a Bond film

and you need Skittles, I'm okay.

You're okay.

Yeah.

You're going hunting.

Okay.

He's going to be doing a manly activity.

I'm going to be doing a manly activity.

Yeah.

And I think that

you'll be okay.

Hey, let me just give you a couple of things here.

On the Bud Light.

Bud Light has just for

wonderful Pride Month

has just donated another,

what was it, $200,000

to the NGLCC in support of its Community of Color initiative designed to support and grow the success of minority LGBTQ plus owned businesses through certification, scholarship, and business development.

So Bud Light has just done that.

In absolutely related news, Anheuser-Busch now sees $27 billion

of their value gone.

What's the appropriate window to look at this stock price?

Because obviously it's gone on paper.

If you were to look six months from now and it was still down this percentage.

Yeah, I would be like, wow, that was a really

painful event.

Yeah.

Target now ninth straight day, $13 billion now for Target.

I was looking at that stock too earlier today as we were kind of doing the prep.

And you see it's pretty much flat for the past six months until this starts and then it's down from 160 to about 128 yeah pretty significant when you look at the walmart stock um

i was like well how does that compare because of course we should all note that walmart does a lot of this crap too but you look at them for the past six months should be going up um it was about I mean, it was down actually going into this period and has now pretty much held where it was.

If you go to the say about the same date, it's down a little bit.

So here's this is not just normal movement of these big box stores.

And those big box stores like Target that are convenient and cheap should be going up in value because people are needing cheap stores.

So it should be the option.

And cheap beer, too.

By the way, don't forget, your children's school

has a whole month of Pride activities.

You might want to go and opt out of those activities at your children's school for the month.

Oh, yeah, because that one is, you know, that stuff could be happening you don't even know about.

Oh, yeah.

You know,

particularly if you're going, I mean, public school is where that's going to be the big thing.

But I wouldn't even rule it out in some private schools.

Oh, no.

There are all kinds of private schools that are doing it.

All right.

Let me tell you about Rough Green.

Susan lives in North Carolina.

She wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Green.

She said, I'm very happy to say my dog actually eats this product willingly.

I have tried vitamins, probiotic supplements, but she always turns her nose away and refuses to take or eat any of it.

Not the case with rough greens.

I'm really impressed by the ingredient list compared to other supplements as well.

Thank you, Rough Greens.

Susan, thank you for writing it.

I did the same thing, well, kind of, that you did.

You looked at the ingredients.

I'm like, I don't know.

So I brought it to my vet.

and said,

what do you think?

And she looks at it and she's like, this is fantastic.

Absolutely.

Feed it.

So Uno's been taking it now for several years, and he had more energy as a puppy.

He's starting to really slow down.

He's getting kind of old for a German Shepherd, but he's slowing down.

But I haven't seen any hip pain from him, which is really unusual.

And I think it's Rough Greens.

Every idea starts with a problem.

Warby Parker's was simple.

Glasses are too expensive.

So they set out to change that.

By designing glasses in-house and selling directly to customers, they're able to offer prescription eyewear that's expertly crafted and unexpectedly affordable.

Warby Parker glasses are made from premium materials like impact-resistant polycarbonate and custom acetate.

And they start at just $95, including prescription lenses.

Get glasses made from the good stuff.

Stop by a Warby Parker store near you.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

We're very glad that

you tuned in today.

Thank you so much.

You see the UFO panel from NASA?

Yeah,

they've been working on this for a while now, and no one seems to really be noticing it.

Yeah.

And it's weird that it's not a bigger story.

It's just interesting.

What do you think that is?

So much other crap going on.

No, no, come on.

Alien life.

I don't think people actually believe there's alien life mostly.

They think it's weird.

They think we're going to find out that it's going to be military technology or something like that.

We found out so many weird things recently.

Did you hear about the JFK stuff?

That there's another film.

Yeah.

And it was another Zapruder film, essentially.

Yeah, except this film was taken in 63, and

then I think the archives had it, and then it was used when they opened up the panel again in the 1970s because nobody believed the first panel.

And they used that film and they said,

yeah, it looks like,

quote, Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy and that two gunmen likely fired at him.

That's a quote.

From who?

The, I can't remember what the name of the report is.

Somebody's shouting it right now in their office or their car.

House Special Committee on Assassinations

in 1978.

That saw this video, but we haven't seen this video.

We haven't seen this video.

And now the family is trying to get the video back.

They're like, you were supposed to return it to us and we've never gotten it.

They're like, video, what?

Film?

I don't know.

I mean, it's, it's just,

it's, we've learned so much that honestly, I thought all was crazy stuff, even 10 years ago.

Now it's like, yeah, that's probably happened.

You know.

We just saw an alien.

He's the one actually running

the government.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Yeah, okay, I got it.

Maybe we're not freaked out about it.

We just expect it.

Oh, alien life?

Really?

They've already come down here and they're doubling as humans.

I feel like that would be a better explanation as to what's really exciting.

I love that explanation.

That would probably be better.

Oh, okay.

It was aliens.

Well, no wonder we're so screwed up.

It was aliens the whole time.

That makes sense.
