Speaker 2 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 25 So, in 2007,

Speaker 8 when the banks failed in the big crash,

Speaker 50 25 banks failed and had to be bailed out.

Speaker 51 Okay, 25 banks failed.

Speaker 53 Washington Mutual, the single largest bank failure in U.S.

Speaker 11 history.

Speaker 50 Over the one-year period of the bank failures, they all had to be bailed out to the total of $526 billion over 12 months.

Speaker 60 What have we done in the last five weeks

Speaker 21 i'll give you that

Speaker 49 So, Stu, yesterday we were talking,

Speaker 18 how much did you say the FDIC had in its full account?

Speaker 84 Gosh, I don't have the number up in front of me still, but I think it was $128 billion.

Speaker 33 Yeah, something like that. Something like that.
Let's just be generous.

Speaker 85 Say it's $150 because that's over, right?

Speaker 42 Yeah, I think so. Okay, so $150.

Speaker 11 In 2007, 25 banks, 25 banks, they had to be bailed out, including Washington Mutual, the single largest bank failure in history, total of $526 billion, and that was over 12 months.

Speaker 51 In the last five weeks,

Speaker 67 we have had three U.S.

Speaker 87 banks banks fail.

Speaker 49 And we're already over the 2007 total by $6 billion.

Speaker 42 Jeez.

Speaker 41 This is the data from the Federal Reserve.

Speaker 90 And

Speaker 42 I don't know if there's more to come because the Federal Reserve is, you know, have to wait two years before they give you the official numbers.

Speaker 55 So I'm not, you know, can't, we can't verify for two years. Now, that is adjusted for inflation.

Speaker 33 But it doesn't include credit suisse a month ago, and we have no idea how much the Federal Reserve provided in emergency lending there because it was overseas, a foreign bank.

Speaker 55 They don't have to report anything again for two years.

Speaker 49 Now you have PacWest and Western Alliance in deep trouble.

Speaker 51 Yesterday, the bank stock index lost 50% of its value in the past two months.

Speaker 52 It's starting to smell like a panic.

Speaker 99 There are other banks now on the chopping block.

Speaker 49 So we are already ahead of 2007 in bank failures compared to

Speaker 42 2007.

Speaker 36 We're already ahead of that.

Speaker 84 That's remarkable. I mean, there's no feeling in the media,

Speaker 84 no indication to the average person that this is anywhere close to the size of what happened in 2008.

Speaker 2 Uh-uh.

Speaker 49 And isn't it interesting that it took 27 banks to equal five this time?

Speaker 61 To beat five, five.

Speaker 84 And the whole point of their crappy legislation after this happened in 2007, 2008 was to make sure these big banks don't get too big. Correct.
They were supposed to avoid this exact thing.

Speaker 93 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And now they're too big.

Speaker 16 Now all of them are too big to fail.

Speaker 84 And now not only has a $213 billion bank gone under, but they sold it to the largest bank in the country. So that one's even bigger.

Speaker 33 First Republic. Now just think of this in deposits.

Speaker 42 Okay.

Speaker 87 Just think of, you know, FDIC.

Speaker 101 All of this money isn't in deposits, obviously.

Speaker 31 But First Republic, $213 billion.

Speaker 102 Silicon, $209 billion.

Speaker 33 Signature, $110 billion.

Speaker 37 $94 billion in 24 other banks.

Speaker 81 And $432 billion in the Washington Mutual Bank.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 94 So, wow, that's not good, right?

Speaker 81 So, 213 billion, 209 billion, 110 billion.

Speaker 89 You're already over your FDIC.

Speaker 76 You're already over

Speaker 3 just that.

Speaker 2 Which is one of the reasons

Speaker 3 why they do these forced sales. Correct.

Speaker 31 And you look at it was $432 in Washington Mutual Bank.

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 29 we've got that in two banks, two banks, already this failure, and another $110 billion on what it took for $100 billion in 07, 24 other banks.

Speaker 98 One bank.

Speaker 99 And it's over that.

Speaker 43 And

Speaker 105 where are you getting the money to bail all these

Speaker 28 people out with their deposits?

Speaker 2 Where's that? Where?

Speaker 84 In this case, J.P. Morgan Chase, I guess, right?

Speaker 84 Now, remember, that doesn't mean all that money is gone, right? These banks, when they go under, they just are.

Speaker 49 They sold, but they sold to JPMorgan Chase for the good they they took the good things that jp morgan chase could use that'll help them grow even bigger and they left on the table for the fed for us

Speaker 108 all of the stuff that's collapsing

Speaker 84 and we should also note that first national bank would have collapsed months ago if not for places like jp morgan chase depositing 30 billion dollars into their account to keep it afloat that already happened happened.

Speaker 110 And that's.

Speaker 66 We have no idea how much money they have given to these banks already.

Speaker 69 Okay, so let me ask you, what caused the instability?

Speaker 79 What caused Silicon Valley Bank to go?

Speaker 84 Silicon Valley Bank was

Speaker 62 this,

Speaker 84 basically, they had long-term

Speaker 84 assets. So they take, you know, you deposit $100, they take your $100, they deposit it into a fund that pays 2%.

Speaker 84 And then all the interest rates go up because the Fed decides to jack them all up. And suddenly,

Speaker 84 the investments they made thinking, you know, it's long-term debt. It's very, you know, we haven't had inflation in such a long time.

Speaker 84 When the inflation goes up, it lowers the value of that $100 they invested. So now

Speaker 84 they can't take the $100 out because it's locked in this investment. Right.
And they can only get it out at a lower rate, and they don't have enough to cover the deposits that are there.

Speaker 27 Correct.

Speaker 84 Just terrible risk management combined with the Fed doing something they hadn't done in 20 years.

Speaker 62 Okay.

Speaker 112 So that's what kicked off Silicon Valley Bank and all of these banks.

Speaker 100 They're all out of whack. Yeah.

Speaker 84 I think it's partially in play here with First National. And then Signature had a little bit more crypto exposure,

Speaker 84 which was a little bit of that.

Speaker 26 But you also have the problem that there is a tight money supply, right, because of the jacking up of the rates.

Speaker 63 So all things, everything's stopping.

Speaker 113 Okay.

Speaker 104 Today,

Speaker 106 today,

Speaker 11 the Federal Reserve is slated to raise interest rates for the 10th time

Speaker 16 in over 12 months.

Speaker 77 The 10th time.

Speaker 63 After their two-day meeting yesterday, central bank expected to announce a quarter-point hike, which would bring the Fed's benchmark interest rate to a level between 5 and 5.25%.

Speaker 115 So that's great.

Speaker 54 But they are saying,

Speaker 60 but we think this will get it under control.

Speaker 74 If not, we're going to have to do it again.

Speaker 33 You're at a breaking point.

Speaker 116 I know nothing about this stuff. I know nothing about this stuff, but I know enough to know you cannot continue to raise interest rates.

Speaker 115 or you will break the back of the economy.

Speaker 91 But they're doing it anyway.

Speaker 61 Now, what's the other thing that they say could break the back of the economy?

Speaker 47 The other thing is the debt ceiling.

Speaker 45 If we don't pay our bills, we're going to be downgraded.

Speaker 76 Yeah, yeah, yeah, we will.

Speaker 53 So what is the plan?

Speaker 3 The

Speaker 51 House says we'll negotiate.

Speaker 24 White House won't negotiate.

Speaker 51 We'll negotiate.

Speaker 115 But if you want the debt ceiling raised, you've got to cut spending.

Speaker 51 Now, we'll show you where we think you can do it, but you've got to cut it.

Speaker 53 So where are you cutting spending?

Speaker 87 But White House says we're not.

Speaker 33 Now, think of this.

Speaker 51 Your inflation is caused by too many dollars.

Speaker 55 There's just too much.

Speaker 86 We've printed too much money.

Speaker 49 That's why they're raising the interest rate.

Speaker 27 That brings that money, sucks it back into the treasury where they can burn it.

Speaker 3 Okay?

Speaker 91 Get rid of it.

Speaker 24 Our government

Speaker 49 is borrowing more money, which they then have to print far more than you and I are spending at TJ Maxx.

Speaker 2 Okay?

Speaker 45 Far more than all of Americans, we went out and we just were on a credit card binge.

Speaker 63 We wouldn't make a dent.

Speaker 89 into what the federal government is spending.

Speaker 105 And yet we're going to be the ones paying the price.

Speaker 12 Why is nobody up in arms saying, You've got to cut the deficit, you have to stop spending money?

Speaker 9 But

Speaker 49 the Democrats in the House and the Senate and the White House say Congress has to raise the debt limit without any spending cuts or any other conditions.

Speaker 19 Screw you.

Speaker 63 Where is my representation?

Speaker 65 Sincerely, where is

Speaker 56 my representation?

Speaker 61 Yes, we can vote for clowns,

Speaker 51 but they have given away their responsibility.

Speaker 89 They have

Speaker 3 given away the only thing that can be done with an out-of-control government is to cut the budgets and bring it back under control.

Speaker 63 That's the job of Congress.

Speaker 115 But they gave that away in 2008.

Speaker 81 We don't care anymore.

Speaker 24 Well, how am I being represented?

Speaker 71 How are you being represented?

Speaker 61 They don't care.

Speaker 26 They'll bail everybody's

Speaker 49 college funds out.

Speaker 93 They'll bail them out.

Speaker 119 Because they don't have to answer to you.

Speaker 121 It's being done through the administrative arm.

Speaker 117 That's unconstitutional.

Speaker 102 And what are they doing?

Speaker 8 They're saying that a debt ceiling from Congress is unconstitutional.

Speaker 95 They don't need it.

Speaker 36 They're actually now pushing that.

Speaker 87 That Constitution doesn't say anything about a debt ceiling.

Speaker 122 No, because our Constitution says pay your debts.

Speaker 83 It's unbelievable.

Speaker 24 It's unbelievable.

Speaker 84 That's actually their argument, too, that the Constitution says pay your debts.

Speaker 26 So even if,

Speaker 84 even if Congress makes a law saying we have a debt ceiling, we can ignore it because the Constitution says, because, you know, look, the left cares about the Constitution.

Speaker 53 You know, the Biden administration just, they're super constitutional.

Speaker 84 It's all they care about. They want to make sure they're very loyal to that document.

Speaker 84 So that is actually the argument they're making behind the scenes, and they've been floating to the media now. There's this, oh, well, they're having these conversations.

Speaker 2 And Joe Biden's not sure if this is actually the right way to go, but this is what they're just...

Speaker 84 Some aides are bringing it up.

Speaker 2 They're always doing this.

Speaker 84 They're floating this. And

Speaker 63 look, you know, and even if it's not sure, he'll just do it anyway.

Speaker 62 He doesn't care.

Speaker 51 He will just do it anyway.

Speaker 84 Evidenced by the student loan program, which obviously is unconstitutional.

Speaker 33 Obviously.

Speaker 92 And he's doing it anyway.

Speaker 49 I want to share something that's going on on the border, and it's only going to get worse.

Speaker 33 And his reaction to it.

Speaker 96 And

Speaker 18 I'm going to say some things that I think just need to be said because they're truth.

Speaker 26 It is absolutely true and it needs to be said

Speaker 3 by all of us.

Speaker 24 If we don't admit what the problem is, we'll never fix it.

Speaker 74 60 seconds away.

Speaker 65 The Starlow wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.

Speaker 31 She says, I know people get tired of commercials, but you know what?

Speaker 55 Relief Factor really works.

Speaker 49 After two weeks of taking it, my pain is gone.

Speaker 114 Just gone.

Speaker 99 I've begun recommending it to all my friends who are dealing with pain.

Speaker 80 I never would have recommended recommended this.

Speaker 42 I mean, unless I had tried it myself and found it to work.

Speaker 11 Thank you so much for a relief factor.

Speaker 16 Thanks for writing in.

Speaker 11 It is hard to believe that something all natural

Speaker 71 and, you know, something that, you know, you're listening to some boob on the radio or like relief factor.

Speaker 76 And your thought is, do they really believe that?

Speaker 50 Do they really say that? Do they believe?

Speaker 13 At least I do.

Speaker 33 I took it. I saw a difference in my life.

Speaker 10 I still take it.

Speaker 99 It changed my life.

Speaker 26 It may be able to do the same thing for you.

Speaker 41 Will you just try the three-week quick start?

Speaker 2 ReliefFactor.com, relief factor.com, or call 800, the number 4, relief, 800, the number 4, relief.

Speaker 33 ReliefFactor.com. Feel the difference.

Speaker 22 10 seconds station ID.

Speaker 59 All right. So the White House has said that they have cut

Speaker 94 the border crossings by 90%, which is not true.

Speaker 3 Not true.

Speaker 13 Here is a clip from El Paso, Texas.

Speaker 33 If you happen to be watching, I'll describe it here.

Speaker 59 This is El Paso, Texas.

Speaker 84 It's an American city. Yeah.

Speaker 84 Just

Speaker 91 homeless people everywhere.

Speaker 84 Tent cities. People built clothes lines to dry clothes.

Speaker 3 Thousands, Glenn, would you say?

Speaker 37 Oh, thousands. Easy thousands.

Speaker 117 Lining the streets.

Speaker 3 They're lining the streets.

Speaker 52 They're all the way from the street

Speaker 89 all the way to the houses or the buildings.

Speaker 11 So they're taking up the yards, everything.

Speaker 120 Sidewalks. That's an American city.

Speaker 97 That's an American city.

Speaker 3 And you have the balls.

Speaker 114 of

Speaker 81 Lori Lightfoot and

Speaker 51 what's his name in New York saying, you got to stop sending these people to us.

Speaker 126 We're overwhelmed.

Speaker 104 You're Chicago.

Speaker 25 Try being El Paso and have this on your streets.

Speaker 47 I'm sorry, Texas isn't a dumping ground.

Speaker 11 Now listen.

Speaker 108 The president is going to send

Speaker 26 some people to the border

Speaker 74 because he really cares.

Speaker 35 And he is going to send the National Guard

Speaker 41 and he says to secure the border, which is already secure.

Speaker 3 That's not true. It's not true.

Speaker 35 And he's not sending them to secure.

Speaker 119 He is sending our military down to help process paperwork.

Speaker 105 Next week, we are going to be hit by a tidal wave.

Speaker 98 They are expecting 10,000 people

Speaker 67 every day.

Speaker 63 Right now, it's about 2,000.

Speaker 5 10,000 people every day.

Speaker 20 I think it's time we have a frank talk and we ask:

Speaker 119 what is it that the president has exchanged

Speaker 35 the virtue, the sweetness, the

Speaker 51 hope, hope, the dreams

Speaker 122 of little boys and girls who are raped by drug cartels, trafficked by drug and sex rings.

Speaker 49 Tell me, what did you exchange that for, Mr.

Speaker 35 President?

Speaker 119 You don't care.

Speaker 5 You lost 85,000 children.

Speaker 5 85,000 children.

Speaker 119 You don't know where they are.

Speaker 64 Our president,

Speaker 121 he's a pimp.

Speaker 121 He's a pimp.

Speaker 45 He's a drug smuggler.

Speaker 86 He is helping

Speaker 2 the sex rings with children here in America.

Speaker 51 He is helping.

Speaker 63 The drug cartels get fentany. Why do you think we're having so many problems with fentanyl?

Speaker 47 Because our borders are open.

Speaker 107 And I'm sorry, but there is no way any rational,

Speaker 121 reasonable human being

Speaker 119 who actually cares about America, the American people, and human beings

Speaker 49 doesn't do something on the border to stop this.

Speaker 128 The women that are raped on on the way

Speaker 39 the the drug cartels

Speaker 119 they own us

Speaker 50 so what did you get out of it president biden what what what deal are you getting is it just the destruction of america is that

Speaker 56 is that what you're doing or are you so out of touch that you don't even know this is going on i could go either way

Speaker 120 but i think you are in the grips of evil because only evil would turn a blind eye to what is happening to children, mothers,

Speaker 119 even single guys, families.

Speaker 63 You want to take your family over the border and rest it in the arms of a drug cartel to get you across?

Speaker 18 What does that cost you? What does that cost you?

Speaker 50 More than money.

Speaker 13 Mr.

Speaker 40 President, President, shame on you.

Speaker 54 Not only will America pay a heavy price for this, but mark my words, sir, in the eternities you will forever pay.

Speaker 31 When we lose one of our service members or first responders, the tragedy doesn't end on that day, especially for their families.

Speaker 41 Who's there to help pick them up, pick up the pieces, pick up the family?

Speaker 3 Tunnel to Towers is there.

Speaker 15 When our veterans who have served our country end up living on the streets, who reaches out with a hand of help?

Speaker 3 Tunnel to Towers.

Speaker 76 We are going to have such a bad homeless problem in this country.

Speaker 41 It's going to be interesting to see how all this works out.

Speaker 81 The

Speaker 11 foundation

Speaker 20 in the line of duty programs for Gold Star and Fallen First Responder, Smart Home, and Veterans Homeless Programs, they are all dedicated to honoring our nation's heroes and their families.

Speaker 66 Not just the military, but our police and firefighters that are falling on the line of duty.

Speaker 68 Never forget the sacrifices of our country's greatest heroes and never close your heart.

Speaker 17 Help.

Speaker 44 So there is some breaking news, just breaking now.

Speaker 81 Russia claims two drones, ukrainian drones attacked the kremlin overnight

Speaker 78 there is a video don't know if this is real or not we have no idea but it is coming from the russian government they're not only saying that it was an attack on the kremlin they say that it is an assassination attempt on putin this is really not good.

Speaker 26 Russia said that they will

Speaker 48 they reserve the right to respond

Speaker 32 appropriately.

Speaker 3 Now, if you want to do it proportionately, I think you'd throw a sparkler over the border because it did no damage.

Speaker 8 It looks bad, but it did no damage.

Speaker 60 Can we talk about something else for just a second before?

Speaker 87 It's time that we start talking about heroes,

Speaker 116 good things.

Speaker 28 For instance, did you know the trans-identified male has just won first place in the women's cycling tour?

Speaker 91 Did you know that?

Speaker 126 No. Yes.

Speaker 84 Congratulations.

Speaker 2 She, he,

Speaker 45 they won.

Speaker 2 They won.

Speaker 30 They won.

Speaker 61 Taking first place.

Speaker 120 The first female with junk in her pants

Speaker 51 taking first place.

Speaker 3 And I, I, hats off. Also,

Speaker 54 there's a bearded man

Speaker 19 who

Speaker 56 claims to be a woman,

Speaker 45 but doesn't do anything about it.

Speaker 14 Just still looks like a man, but

Speaker 10 he's a good-looking woman if he'd throw some makeup on, you know, spend five minutes in front of the mirror, dude.

Speaker 111 Anyway, he just won.

Speaker 86 Yeah, another winner, the women's poker tournament.

Speaker 57 He just won.

Speaker 12 So you got that.

Speaker 109 So this is good for women.

Speaker 27 This is good for women.

Speaker 87 And I, you know, a lot of people might take this as being sarcastic, but there is a guy in Delaware County, in Indiana.

Speaker 31 He is a Delaware County, Indiana councilman.

Speaker 38 He's Ryan Webb,

Speaker 66 and

Speaker 16 he is the first Republican local councilman to come forward as a lesbian woman of color.

Speaker 99 And Ryan, hats off to you.

Speaker 99 Well, good morning, sir.

Speaker 131 I appreciate the invitation, and thank you for the recognition. Thank you.

Speaker 110 Sure, sure.

Speaker 36 Now, how long have you been contemplating this transition to a woman?

Speaker 132 Well,

Speaker 131 I'm not really sure how long I've been contemplating it.

Speaker 131 I felt this way for quite a long time and just really wasn't sure the right time to do it. But as with each passing day,

Speaker 131 it's become more and more socially acceptable and the rules have become ingrained and set in stone is such that someone such as myself who has no real ambition to actually live life as a woman, however, knows in my heart that I am a woman,

Speaker 131 I thought this was the right time for me to go ahead and announce that that's

Speaker 131 the way I choose to self-identify.

Speaker 73 I think that's great.

Speaker 33 You did say in your Facebook post that

Speaker 95 you noticed that

Speaker 35 there wasn't any LGBTQ representation on the council board,

Speaker 55 and you are the first woman of of color, too. What color are you?

Speaker 55 Well,

Speaker 131 I appreciate you saying that. And I did notice that.
And I thought, you know, we just need a little bit more diversity. We had way too many straight white men on the council.

Speaker 131 And I thought, you know, we can do something about this. But to answer

Speaker 131 what my heritage is, I am Cherokee Native American on both sides, very proud of that. And which qualifies me as the woman of color that I am.

Speaker 26 Oh, so you're not just Jane, you're not just a white guy that is now saying I identify as a woman of color.

Speaker 67 You're actually,

Speaker 11 I mean, we could, you know, in the old days, I would say, scientifically show your bloodline has Cherokee in it.

Speaker 131 Oh, yeah, yeah, fully backed up with the documents of AncestryDNA.com.

Speaker 131 You know, shout out to them. But yeah, that is the fact.

Speaker 46 So now you say you're excited to be a vocal partner of the LGBTQQIAPC ⁇

Speaker 87 movement.

Speaker 11 And just how far can we take things?

Speaker 8 You're glad that now anyone, just like you, can be anything or anyone they want.

Speaker 82 How far do you want to take things?

Speaker 131 Well, you know, with this whole journey of, you know, gender discovery and who you are, I'm just riding the wave, and wherever it takes me is where it goes.

Speaker 131 And I've said before, you know, oftentimes with these things, they're very complex. Sometimes we end up right back where we started.

Speaker 131 But for what I'm trying to do as far as, you know, promote some awareness within the community is that, you know,

Speaker 131 there's a lot of bad information out there from some of these folks as being intolerant and hateful. And I want to show the world that some of us are pretty down-to-earth and sensible people.

Speaker 131 We're not all crazy.

Speaker 2 Right.

Speaker 3 Right. Okay.

Speaker 55 Have you had your first period yet?

Speaker 132 Well, you know,

Speaker 131 I had something going on the other day, but I wouldn't classify it as that. I think I just had a little bit of indigestion.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 55 Well, be prepared.

Speaker 67 You should keep some family.

Speaker 79 Talk to your.

Speaker 93 Are you married?

Speaker 131 I am. You are married.
Beautiful wife, Brandy. Yeah.
Beautiful wife, Brandy.

Speaker 131 We have six kids, and she's fairly excited about the new designation of not only being married to a woman of color, but celebrating our diversity as an interracial married couple. Right.

Speaker 19 Right. Now,

Speaker 24 she is excited that you are now identifying as a woman.

Speaker 131 Well, Well, you know what? She stands behind me and everything that comes with it. And, you know, she's been sitting back watching things like everybody else.
And

Speaker 131 she's not naive to the benefits that come with being a woman of color. So we're hoping that, you know, our kids will be accepted to some colleges that they previously made

Speaker 124 to.

Speaker 131 So, you know, the sky's the limit.

Speaker 73 So she's excited about that.

Speaker 49 And she's identifying now as a lesbian.

Speaker 131 Well, she's not necessarily changed her identity. I don't think she can argue the point that that's what she is.

Speaker 131 But yeah, she's allowed me to go on my journey, and her journey will take her wherever it chooses to go.

Speaker 73 Right. And

Speaker 71 you are a lesbian, though.

Speaker 2 You'll only sleep with women. Yeah.

Speaker 131 Yeah, yes. And I've offered to prove that if anyone doesn't believe it, I'm very affectionate with my wife in public.
So I think I've more than

Speaker 131 stood on my own two feet with that statement.

Speaker 63 You know, a lot of people, Ryan,

Speaker 81 we're talking to Ryan Webb.

Speaker 87 He's a local Republican councilman who has just come out as a lesbian woman of color and the first one on the council.

Speaker 38 And that was very brave of you.

Speaker 100 So hats off on just your bravery.

Speaker 18 A lot of people would say that

Speaker 51 you are making fun

Speaker 42 of wokeness and the fact that

Speaker 8 men will always be men and not women.

Speaker 108 Is there any truth to that?

Speaker 131 Well, those allegations have been made. Now, I wouldn't make those allegations.
I'm not saying that.

Speaker 131 In fact, I don't know what rule book they're reading from, but my understanding was that we weren't allowed to question someone's gender identity.

Speaker 131 That is simply declaring it, and it is so, and you might as well write it in red. So, I'm not necessarily making fun of anyone.

Speaker 131 I'm just expressing how I'm choosing to live my life within the boundaries and rules that's been set forth by society and pass the test.

Speaker 131 So, they can say that all they want, but I don't need their confirmation or their affirmation or any of the Asians.

Speaker 131 I'm living my own life.

Speaker 71 All right, Ryan, again, we salute you as a very brave, brave.

Speaker 26 It is hard in these days to come out

Speaker 19 on something, you know, like this and stand there all alone, surrounded by all of the real power in society.

Speaker 101 You know, holding your hand and propping you up and giving you all kinds of benefits.

Speaker 87 And that's a scary place to be.

Speaker 3 well

Speaker 131 you are correct with that and in the beginning you know some folks didn't really know how to how to take it some were upset but as the days have went on i've i've been receiving a lot of support and to be honest glenn um The local leftists in my community, they're the ones who insisted on making this story a national story.

Speaker 131 Me personally, I would like to focus more on the important things that we're doing on the council, such as increasing transparency and increasing the wages for all of our county employees.

Speaker 131 But unfortunately,

Speaker 131 this is what we're talking about.

Speaker 131 Really sad situation. Yeah.

Speaker 92 All right.

Speaker 55 Well, Ryan, you keep with your truth, okay?

Speaker 131 I appreciate that, Mr.

Speaker 1 Beck. I will.

Speaker 131 I will. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much.

Speaker 134 That's Ryan Webb, Delaware County, Indiana,

Speaker 22 County Councilman.

Speaker 3 Brave.

Speaker 62 Very brave. Very brave.

Speaker 84 To take a stance like that.

Speaker 33 And I know

Speaker 22 I assume

Speaker 84 they are going to be celebrated for this because that's what our society does.

Speaker 26 Well, I don't, you know, I appreciate that he's keeping his name because I don't want to dead name anybody.

Speaker 2 Right.

Speaker 28 But who am I to question

Speaker 49 what he believes, what his truth is and what his truth may not be?

Speaker 84 You just did three in a row. He, he, and his.
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 20 Oh my gosh. I am so disgusting.

Speaker 87 You are.

Speaker 84 That is disgusting.

Speaker 122 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 55 You are so brave.

Speaker 61 Thank you.

Speaker 18 You are so brave.

Speaker 91 Thank you. I am.

Speaker 2 I mean, going along with what everybody who has any kind of power at all, just going along and sniffing their butt and holding their hand.

Speaker 101 That's yep.

Speaker 89 You know, and doing exactly what you're told.

Speaker 18 You are so brave.

Speaker 3 Thank you for affirming me.

Speaker 52 You're well, thank you for affirming.

Speaker 93 Well, you haven't yet.

Speaker 84 You haven't. I affirm you.

Speaker 113 Okay. Wow, I affirm.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 3 Don't you feel

Speaker 64 heard

Speaker 102 and affirmed

Speaker 40 and

Speaker 49 just kind of, I don't know, like it's my first day of being a girl.

Speaker 88 You know,

Speaker 84 you'd pass, you're very, would make a very attractive female.

Speaker 135 And not that that's what your journey is.

Speaker 54 That's right, what my journey is right now.

Speaker 33 But damn it, let me tell you something.

Speaker 54 If I do become a girl, you damn well better say that I'm not only a girl, but I'm a good-looking girl.

Speaker 91 Oh, I will affirm the hell out of you for that.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 15 All right. So thank you.

Speaker 32 I affirm you too. Thank you.

Speaker 12 This has been a great.

Speaker 97 See, this is how we all come together.

Speaker 84 This is the Mutual Affirmation Society.

Speaker 48 Just speak the truth that our overlords demand we speak.

Speaker 136 And then we can all get along.

Speaker 6 And that's all you have to do.

Speaker 84 You just have to say what your truth is, and it becomes the truth.

Speaker 6 With one exception.

Speaker 84 With one exception.

Speaker 84 If someone says they're trans and then they commit a mass murder, then it's totally okay to say, actually, they were lying the whole time. Any other instance, though, you must affirm what they say.

Speaker 10 And I would like to make another correction, and I hate to.

Speaker 133 Are you

Speaker 87 disaffirm you, but I think it's actually de-affirm.

Speaker 2 Okay, sorry.

Speaker 81 You've been officially.

Speaker 84 How about de-apostery? Defirm.

Speaker 32 Defirm. Thank you.

Speaker 45 Okay, I hate to defirm you, but

Speaker 26 you said you can say whatever, your truth, and it is truth.

Speaker 17 And that's not true.

Speaker 13 There is

Speaker 125 truth, Stu, and it's your truth, and it's my truth.

Speaker 49 But there are some people that don't agree with that truth that we're getting from, you know, the experts.

Speaker 14 And those people should be shut up, you know,

Speaker 31 because they're not brave.

Speaker 36 No, they're Nazis.

Speaker 126 We defirm them. We defirm them.
Thank you.

Speaker 3 All right.

Speaker 87 Hey, it's a great day on the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 93 I think we've just solved another problem.

Speaker 15 Thank you so much, Ryan, for being on the program.

Speaker 35 In almost all cases, the secret to success in buying or selling a home is having the right real estate agent.

Speaker 66 It isn't as simple as just having somebody you know, you know, find a good home for you that's in your budget.

Speaker 3 Honestly,

Speaker 21 you could probably do that.

Speaker 85 Okay.

Speaker 60 Now, can you get the best price for your home?

Speaker 56 Do you know what it takes to sell your home?

Speaker 15 I have to tell you, couldn't sell my home, couldn't sell my home because I wouldn't listen to the real estate agent.

Speaker 66 I'm like, I'm not putting another dime into this thing.

Speaker 15 They said, if you want to sell your home, you should probably do X, Y, and Z.

Speaker 50 I did.

Speaker 33 Now I don't want to sell my home, but the offers and and the prices are crazy at what people will pay for it.

Speaker 2 They were right.

Speaker 114 They were right.

Speaker 17 Oh my gosh, you're bringing up my mother again who died? Oh my gosh.

Speaker 84 I'm

Speaker 84 talking to you.

Speaker 97 I was so insane.

Speaker 32 I'm defirming you again.

Speaker 49 that, I mean, Russia has a good sense of humor, right?

Speaker 26 Putin, he's got a good sense of humor.

Speaker 33 Pretty funny guy.

Speaker 107 You know, it's like, hey, we're going to send some drones over and

Speaker 15 try to blow up the dome of the Kremlin.

Speaker 59 He's going to love it.

Speaker 84 He's funny. He's a little too slapstick for me.
Right. You know,

Speaker 41 he's pretty funny.

Speaker 84 I think he's going to take this in stride

Speaker 84 in the tone that it was intended.

Speaker 11 Hililiari.

Speaker 3 Prat falls.

Speaker 28 He'll pretend to shoot somebody in the head and then they do a prat fall in front of him.

Speaker 134 Oh, that's funny. Yeah.

Speaker 3 That's really funny.

Speaker 84 This is suspicious as an attack by Ukraine, right? Like they're going to send these tiny little drones over there that seem to do no damage whatsoever.

Speaker 84 It's an odd, if it is them, it would be very odd. Could easily also be the other side trying to set something up.
They're supposedly going to have an offensive around the corner.

Speaker 4 It could easily be a justification.

Speaker 93 Who could have been running the drone?

Speaker 6 It doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 It doesn't matter.

Speaker 35 It doesn't matter. And the fact that they're calling this an assassination attempt on him.

Speaker 92 Yeah.

Speaker 41 What was that? That's how they framed it. Was he...

Speaker 25 Did he strap himself to the top of the dome of the Kremlin?

Speaker 84 Well, they're saying they intercepted it. The explosion you're seeing is supposedly them intercepting this drone.

Speaker 84 But when they intercept it, it explodes in the way that it almost looks like a gender reveal party.

Speaker 3 It's like it's this tiny little piss him off. Yeah.
It would piss him off.

Speaker 84 It's a tiny little baby explosion,

Speaker 84 which would, I guess, if it literally landed on Vladimir Putin's head, it probably would have killed him.

Speaker 73 It would have gone in through the window and landed at the foot of his bed while he's sleeping.

Speaker 84 Hard to imagine that that would be their chosen way to attack if what they were doing.

Speaker 95 It doesn't matter.

Speaker 88 No, what's important here only

Speaker 84 is

Speaker 84 how Russia is framing it. And how they're framing it is an attack on Putin directly and by the Ukrainians.

Speaker 54 Yeah, they're using the words, an attack by the Ukrainians on the Kremlin and an assassination attempt against Putin.

Speaker 84 And they say there was two drones total that

Speaker 84 they supposedly intercepted.

Speaker 84 So I don't know. I mean, you know, is it true? That's a totally different story that we'll, I guess maybe through history we'll find out.

Speaker 24 Again, again, we don't even know.

Speaker 33 Truth doesn't matter anymore.

Speaker 84 Yeah. And it's hard.
It really doesn't matter pragmatically in the near future.

Speaker 84 Like, I want to know, of course, eventually who did this if we can, but long, that's long term. Short term, they are going to obviously use this for some sort of response.

Speaker 84 If it was a legitimate attack from Ukraine, you'd expect it. I mean, they're at war with each other.
We shouldn't be shocked that that would be true.

Speaker 84 It just seems like it would be a very strange way of doing it for Ukraine. It doesn't seem like a,

Speaker 88 you know, but people do weird things in war.

Speaker 84 Who knows? It just seems like it's a good thing.

Speaker 80 I mean, I think if, you know, Osama bin Laden flew a little drone and it went into the side of the building, we wouldn't be like, we're at war with al-Qaeda.

Speaker 84 But if we wanted to frame it a certain way, we would.

Speaker 4 And that's what you're wondering about here.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 33 More in just a second, more on the economy.

Speaker 84 And Mike Lee joins us to talk about some of the things like debt ceiling when we come back.

Speaker 138 The Glenn Back program.

Speaker 84 Let me tell you about Home Title Lock. I don't know if they're not stopping fights in the middle of the streets, they're probably not stopping home title fraud either.

Speaker 84 Home titles are online now, and once a criminal accesses your home's title, you could be in serious trouble.

Speaker 84 They can sell the house out from under you.

Speaker 84 So when is the last time you checked to see if your home's title is still in your name?

Speaker 88 Probably like never, or maybe when you bought the house, if anything.

Speaker 84 The folks over at Home Title Lock have demonstrated to me how online criminals can get you.

Speaker 84 In just a few minutes, they were able to find my title and forge my signature and show me they could have easily stolen my house.

Speaker 42 Thankfully, they didn't.

Speaker 59 Home Title Lock helps shut this kind of thing down.

Speaker 84 It's what they do every day. They do it better than anybody else.
And, you know, you don't want to find out what the damage is like once it has already been done.

Speaker 6 It's a new day, our time to

Speaker 6 What you're about to hear here is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 138 This is the Glen Beck Program.

Speaker 57 Hello, America.

Speaker 76 Welcome to the Glen Beck Program. We've got a lot to go over with Senator Mike Lee.

Speaker 44 He joins us.

Speaker 68 We're going to talk a little bit about the strike on Russia that just happened.

Speaker 28 Don't know if he even knows about it.

Speaker 11 Then we also have the debt ceiling, what's happening in the Supreme Court,

Speaker 49 and the militarization of our government agencies.

Speaker 25 It's quite a smorgasbord.

Speaker 32 We'll eat from that board here in just 60 seconds.

Speaker 68 I want you to think: how is the best way we could possibly help those babies that their mom is going in to maybe have an abortion today.

Speaker 44 What's the best thing we can do to help?

Speaker 18 To me, there's two things.

Speaker 11 Save the baby and save the mother.

Speaker 68 I've gotten so many letters from people who have had abortions

Speaker 78 in the past, and they all start the same way.

Speaker 66 I've never told anyone this.

Speaker 67 I so regret it.

Speaker 20 I've thought about it my entire life since.

Speaker 18 We have to save the moms and the babies.

Speaker 54 And then we have to help the moms be great moms and take some of the burden away from mom as she's raising the baby.

Speaker 91 That's what a pre-born clinic does.

Speaker 54 First thing, stop the baby from being killed. That's

Speaker 8 show mom the baby on an ultrasound and the heartbeat.

Speaker 74 That's where you come in.

Speaker 11 Right now, any gift you would make to pre-born is tax deductible.

Speaker 64 100% of your gift, 100% goes towards saving babies.

Speaker 80 28 bucks buys an ultrasound for a mom who really probably doesn't want one.

Speaker 31 So that's why they offer them for free.

Speaker 11 Pound 250, buy an ultrasound or two or three.

Speaker 73 Pound 250, say the keyword baby, or you can go to preborn.com slash Beck.

Speaker 72 That's preborn.com slash Beck, sponsored by Preborn.

Speaker 11 Senator Mike Lee, how are you, sir?

Speaker 132 I'm doing great. Good to be with you, Glenn.

Speaker 3 Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 91 I have a rule that Stu and I heard about on a ruling this week that I want to talk to you.

Speaker 87 I got to get to that, too.

Speaker 28 But first of all, have you heard about the strike of what is being called Ukrainian drones hitting the

Speaker 81 Kremlin, blowing up last night?

Speaker 95 Didn't do any damage to the Kremlin, but they shot them out of the sky, and they said that it was an assassination attempt.

Speaker 67 They were headed towards the presidential palace.

Speaker 132 Yeah, I read about this in the Guardian just before I took this call, and

Speaker 132 this is a significant development. We know very little.

Speaker 132 I don't know any more than what's been reported publicly,

Speaker 132 but that's certainly a significant development of that conflict.

Speaker 132 It raises all kinds of questions in my mind as to

Speaker 132 what kind of weapons were being used, where they came from, how they were deployed, and so forth. But yeah, this is a significant escalation in that conflict.

Speaker 26 I mean, if another country sent even a little drone with firecrackers in it

Speaker 34 and hid into our capital dome trying to make even just a statement, I would think that

Speaker 9 we would be

Speaker 31 closer to war footing in a serious, serious way.

Speaker 2 Would you agree?

Speaker 132 Yes,

Speaker 132 Yes. One could certainly make that argument very persuasively.
Look, the point is that there really are consequences.

Speaker 132 There are significant implications that come from getting involved in what might be characterized as a proxy war through a third-party nation.

Speaker 132 When you do that,

Speaker 132 there can be consequences. And so this is why this is cause for concern.
We need to know more about how this happened, how serious it was, how close that came,

Speaker 132 because this could have implications for American national security, and it's something we need to follow.

Speaker 108 So, Mike, can I ask you a question?

Speaker 87 It's probably a really stupid question

Speaker 38 for you,

Speaker 82 so try not to make me look so bad.

Speaker 58 But

Speaker 35 where is my representation?

Speaker 134 I know I elect congressmen and I elect senators and I, you know, elect presidents, and so I can vote, but they are not abiding by the Constitution.

Speaker 128 I feel like most Americans feel like, wait, we're going to war with Russia?

Speaker 33 What is happening?

Speaker 91 Why are we doing this?

Speaker 49 Nobody's even making the case.

Speaker 13 It seems like

Speaker 120 there's a machine that's just clicked on and no one can even question it.

Speaker 31 I saw yesterday, or I mean, last week, the president gave a billion dollars to China, just gave them a billion dollars.

Speaker 122 And I thought, did that go through Congress?

Speaker 2 Because that billion dollars is more money than like a whole town of people will ever give through maybe three generations of

Speaker 109 work.

Speaker 107 Where is the representation of the people on these things?

Speaker 107 Yeah, look,

Speaker 132 as you point out, people are all over the place on this politically.

Speaker 132 And there are those in Congress, in the Senate and in the House, and in both political parties who strongly support the aid that we've been providing to Ukraine and want us to provide more.

Speaker 132 There are others like me who have significant concerns with the aid that

Speaker 132 we've been providing to Ukraine. Just

Speaker 132 in the last 10 days or so,

Speaker 132 I sent a letter along with a handful of my colleagues in the House and in the Senate expressing grave concerns about what we're doing.

Speaker 132 This is a letter that on the Senate side was signed by me along with Senators J.D. Vance of Ohio and Rand Paul of Kentucky.

Speaker 132 And it was led by Representative Eli Crane and signed by about 15 congressmen on the House side.

Speaker 132 And the letter says in part that unrestrained U.S. aid for Ukraine needs to come to an end.
And that w

Speaker 132 plan to oppose future aid packages,

Speaker 132 especially if they're not linked to some clear diplomatic strategy designed to bring the war to a rapid conclusion. That's been our great concern.
Glenn,

Speaker 132 you wouldn't believe

Speaker 132 how much opposition there is to this very simple concept there.

Speaker 110 Oh, I would.

Speaker 124 People have just

Speaker 132 adopted lockstock and barrel the assumption that this war is an unmitigated good, that our support for this war is an unmitigated good. Look, I...
I don't like Vladimir Putin.

Speaker 132 I am not a fan of Russia.

Speaker 132 I also know that Russia has a lot of nuclear weapons. I also know that that could cause problems for us and our allies if we're not very, very careful.
Yeah, and

Speaker 24 I also know that

Speaker 102 the Ukraine is one of the dirtiest, most corrupt countries in the world.

Speaker 51 And maybe 30% of our dollar is going to where we're trying to get it to.

Speaker 49 Most of it is going to these,

Speaker 81 you know,

Speaker 108 gangsters.

Speaker 56 It's all going to the elites and the gangsters over there.

Speaker 117 And nobody even cares.

Speaker 25 That's 70 cents on every dollar.

Speaker 116 I don't know.

Speaker 3 I care about that.

Speaker 132 Yes, and you should care about that. And once it leaves our hands and goes to another country, it's very, very difficult, not just to control it, but even to account for where it went,

Speaker 132 whether it's in Ukraine or a lot of other countries. But as you point out,

Speaker 132 there are known problems within Ukraine, and especially during wartime, you're probably going to have even less accountability than you would.

Speaker 112 You know, Mike, we've solved this before.

Speaker 10 In World War II, we sent money to the Arab countries for the war in the Middle East, and we sent money to Hawaii.

Speaker 24 And when we did, everyone had the treasury seal.

Speaker 96 The ones in Hawaii, I can't remember exactly what they were, but one was like red,

Speaker 49 the seal instead of that green seal.

Speaker 8 And then the one in the desert was brown.

Speaker 49 And that way they could track where that money was going, and they could also say that money is worthless.

Speaker 71 It's no good.

Speaker 8 If it has a brown seal,

Speaker 26 don't accept it as money.

Speaker 51 We can do it.

Speaker 7 We choose not to.

Speaker 7 Yeah,

Speaker 132 we don't do it. And the sheer volume of money that we're talking about here is itself independently caused for concern.

Speaker 132 We're talking about $113 billion that were appropriated by Congress last year alone for aid to Ukraine. Put that in perspective, Glenn.

Speaker 132 I'm told Ukraine in a typical year spends between $4 and $5 billion on defense in an entire year. And I'm told that in a typical year, Russia spends about $65 billion

Speaker 132 on defense.

Speaker 132 So when we're talking about multiples, many multiples,

Speaker 132 dozens of multiples of what they spend on defense in Ukraine, and

Speaker 132 close to double what Russia spends on defense in a typical year. That makes us a very significant player in this conflict.

Speaker 132 And I fear sometimes that people aren't entirely grasping the extent of our involvement and hence the extent of our exposure there.

Speaker 132 What I wish we were doing is identifying a way to resolve this conflict, to bring it to an end.

Speaker 132 What I wish we were doing is focusing on the fact that if we figured out ways to get American oil and natural gas over to Europe, flood the European energy market with U.S.

Speaker 132 sources of energy.

Speaker 132 Russia would play a less dominant role. Russia would have less money to play with.
Putin would have less capital

Speaker 1 to justify this conflict.

Speaker 16 Europe has laundered the oil.

Speaker 101 They're buying it through India, and India is buying it from Russia.

Speaker 16 That's what's happening.

Speaker 11 Let me switch topics.

Speaker 102 The White House is now thinking that maybe we don't even need to have a debt ceiling.

Speaker 10 Maybe that's not even constitutional, so we don't have to do anything.

Speaker 49 The Fed is going to raise the interest rates again. They are squeezing the American people.
They're squeezing

Speaker 126 the smaller banks and they're all being rolled up into the Fed banks.

Speaker 63 We're going to end up with maybe three banks, five banks, and they'll all be Fed banks.

Speaker 54 And they're raising the rate yet again, it seems.

Speaker 53 And yet they say they have to do that for inflation, but they not even make mention

Speaker 49 of the spending of the federal government.

Speaker 49 All of us could go on a spending spree with no limits on our credit card, and we wouldn't begin to spend half of the money that the federal government is spending on stupid things every single day.

Speaker 132 Yeah, and this is one of the reasons why I've got major concerns with Jed, with Jay Powell at the Federal Reserve.

Speaker 132 Look, he came to us throughout the COVID disaster, the COVID nightmare, and continued to reassure Congress that don't worry, you're spending trillions of dollars more than you're bringing in each year, but this is not going to have a significant impact on inflation.

Speaker 132 That has continued, and they continue to not warn the American people or Congress or the White House about the very close connection between us spending too much money and having inflation.

Speaker 132 They don't talk about that. They instead resort to the Federal Reserve raising interest rates, which, by the way, is itself even too little.

Speaker 132 If you're going to use that tool exclusively, you'd have to go a lot higher than this with devastating consequences.

Speaker 132 But wouldn't it be nice, Glenn, if Congress just stopped spending more than we brought in?

Speaker 93 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I mean, I heard Schumer.

Speaker 4 They don't want to do that.

Speaker 49 I heard Schumer say this is draconian, these cuts.

Speaker 120 We're talking about going back to the spending of what, 2020?

Speaker 47 How could that possibly be draconian

Speaker 132 2022 was still allowing for a rate of growth increase beyond that this is absolutely absurd now glenn add to your point

Speaker 132 about the constitutional constitutionality of debt ceiling increases and and debt ceilings this is science fiction fantasy that they have come up with. I'll tell you what the 14th Amendment says.

Speaker 132 The 14th Amendment says we can't default. It says that we have to honor the instruments of U.S.
debt that we issue.

Speaker 132 That is very different than saying we do not authorize the Treasury Secretary to issue more instruments of debt, more U.S. Treasury bonds,

Speaker 132 once you go beyond a certain level. There is absolutely nothing in the 14th Amendment that justifies what they're doing.
And by even floating that theory, they're engaging in lawlessness.

Speaker 49 Is there a way to make a deal?

Speaker 43 I mean, honestly, Mike,

Speaker 116 I'm to the point to where this government is spending my tax dollars on things

Speaker 82 that my congressman doesn't even get a chance to vote on.

Speaker 24 Don't even vote on them.

Speaker 18 They just do it.

Speaker 99 And

Speaker 97 where's my representation?

Speaker 107 That's taxation without representation.

Speaker 49 They are putting my children into the poorhouse and everybody else is into the poorhouse because the administrative arm feels it's the right thing to do and that Congress is not even consulted.

Speaker 3 Not even consulted. No,

Speaker 3 that's right.

Speaker 132 And look, what's happening here is the Democrats are doing what they always do when they don't like the rules and they can't get what they want. They're trying to change the rules.

Speaker 132 But you can't simply reinterpret the Constitution to mean what you want it to mean in order to achieve your policy objectives. There is good news here.

Speaker 132 The good news is that the House of Representatives under the Republican leadership and Speaker Kevin McCarthy, passed a really good

Speaker 132 compromise package.

Speaker 132 We had a lot of members of Congress who have never voted before to raise the debt ceiling who did so on this one because this actually would do some things to bring inflation under control and bring federal spending under control so that we don't have to come back to this well as often as Congress frequently does.

Speaker 132 That is the offer, and they need to do that. Now, I'm leading a letter

Speaker 132 being signed by a number of Republican members of the Senate.

Speaker 132 And we're committing to vote against cloture, to oppose bringing debate to a close on any bill that would raise the debt ceiling without significant substantive spending and budget reforms. Good.

Speaker 132 Because what the White House is calling for, remember, is a so-called clean debt ceiling increase.

Speaker 2 No. Strings attached.

Speaker 114 No.

Speaker 132 And we're not willing to do that.

Speaker 132 And if we can get 41 Republican senators to sign on to this letter and to agree to support this effort, effort, then it'll go a long way toward making clear that any debt ceiling increase is going to have to contain significant restrictions.

Speaker 35 All right. Hang on just a sec.

Speaker 10 Do you have time to hang on for five more minutes?

Speaker 99 Sure. Okay, hang on.

Speaker 11 Five more minutes with Mike Lee. I got some questions about what's happening with the Supreme Court and something that I'd never heard of until on this program a couple of days ago.

Speaker 15 And I don't know why we don't use this all the time.

Speaker 31 Relief Factor is our sponsor.

Speaker 87 Dolores wrote in.

Speaker 31 She said, I started taking Relief Factor not long ago and so far completely stopped the arthritis pain in my hands.

Speaker 95 They were so bad, it was getting impossible to do anything with them.

Speaker 78 And my sewing,

Speaker 35 I couldn't pick it up.

Speaker 33 Thank you, Relief Factor.

Speaker 101 D, thank you.

Speaker 31 Thanks for listening. Thank you for giving Relief Factor a try.

Speaker 74 I'm glad you got your life back.

Speaker 101 If you're dealing with pain, please just give Relief Factor a try.

Speaker 70 If it doesn't work for you, yes, you're out 20 bucks.

Speaker 28 But at least you gave it a shot.

Speaker 11 It works for 70% of the the people who tried.

Speaker 83 They go on to order more month after month.

Speaker 112 ReliefFactor.com, relief factor.com.

Speaker 94 Call 800, the number 4 relief. 800, the number 4 relief.

Speaker 33 Feel the difference.

Speaker 22 10 Seconds Station ID.

Speaker 80 So

Speaker 22 we had a justice come out over the weekend and say, I pretty much know, I think,

Speaker 78 who leaked the Dobbs case, but I don't want to say.

Speaker 26 Then some internet sleuths were saying it's sodomaior.

Speaker 49 Is there no way we can find out about this, Mike?

Speaker 116 Is there nothing that can be done?

Speaker 132 There's a lot that can be done. Look, all that has to happen.
They need to reopen the investigation.

Speaker 132 The Marshal of the Supreme Court needs to be directed to reopen it and conduct it with the help of deputized law enforcement personnel from the U.S. Marshal Service.
And they need to go

Speaker 132 back to all of these law clerks and make sure that every one of them participates in an interview. I can guarantee they can find who this person is.

Speaker 87 Yeah, this is ridiculous.

Speaker 120 And the statement that came out this weekend was, this was an attempt to get one of us killed. This was an assassination attempt.

Speaker 120 Right, right.

Speaker 132 To either get one of them killed or at least cause a reasonable fear among them that they might be killed. And either way,

Speaker 132 whoever did this was good with that, if it meant that it would mean no Dobbs majority opinion, as it was in fact issued.

Speaker 132 The day after this leak happened, so

Speaker 132 the leak happened one year ago yesterday, the day after talking to our friend Dan Boncino.

Speaker 132 And

Speaker 132 Dan asked me essentially the same question, can they find this? And I said, Dan, you're a law enforcement guy.

Speaker 132 If I had access to you and they let the two of us go in there and ask them, we would figure out the right questions to ask them.

Speaker 132 If we had access to all the law clerks, we could figure out who did it. I'm pretty sure it's a law clerk.

Speaker 21 So you think it's a law clerk?

Speaker 26 You don't think that it is a Supreme Court justice member?

Speaker 132 No, no, I don't. I think that's highly

Speaker 132 not just unlikely. I think it's implausible.

Speaker 2 I think it was a law clerk.

Speaker 132 And if we had access to the law clerks,

Speaker 132 I told Dan, you and I could figure this out within 48 hours.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 132 Because you go and you ask the right questions, and you figure out who...

Speaker 132 who might have done it. You ask each law clerk to describe circumstances, who they're talking to.

Speaker 132 You get the lay of the land, so to speak, among the law courts, it's not going to be that hard. It sounds to me like some

Speaker 132 on the Supreme Court, including my former boss, Justice Lito, might well have figured out who it is or narrowed it down significantly at least.

Speaker 132 It's not that hard to figure this out. I don't know why they conducted an investigation in the first instance that was incomplete.

Speaker 20 Senator Mike Lee, I'm out of time now.

Speaker 78 I can't get to the question that I had for you, but

Speaker 10 may I ask you back to answer this?

Speaker 95 Because it's a rule I've never heard of, and it just worked on the ATF on firearms.

Speaker 94 And I don't know why we don't use it all the time.

Speaker 68 I'm talking about the Sixth Circuit's ruling on the rule of lenity.

Speaker 4 Yeah, hang on.

Speaker 100 I talk about that.

Speaker 44 You'll come back to talk about that?

Speaker 3 Heck yeah. Yeah.
All right, good.

Speaker 87 Thanks.

Speaker 68 Mike Lee, senator from the great state of Utah.

Speaker 68 All right, we're going to talk a little bit about the Fed and what is happening in the economy and the banks next.

Speaker 142 the Glenn Back program American Financing NMLS 182334 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org the word loan is getting scary the word bank is getting scary

Speaker 49 you should be afraid of the the rate the interest rate that is going up yet again today it looks like

Speaker 28 that is terrifying but especially if you have a lot of debt on a credit card, you're going to pay more and more.

Speaker 66 You will not be able to pay that debt off soon.

Speaker 41 Please consider, please consider a consolidation loan.

Speaker 76 If you have a home and you have a lot of equity in it, can you roll that

Speaker 95 debt from the credit card into that equity?

Speaker 68 and be able to pay it off from the credit card company at 25% interest and pay five and a quarter interest.

Speaker 28 That saves a ton.

Speaker 38 In just the last five weeks, we've had three banks fail.

Speaker 52 2007, 25 banks failed and had to be bailed out, including Washington Mutual, the single largest bank failure in U.S.

Speaker 87 history.

Speaker 78 The total was $526 billion, and it happened over 95 banks.

Speaker 10 And no, I think, no, I'm sorry.

Speaker 36 It happened over 25 banks.

Speaker 34 And it was a 12-month period.

Speaker 14 In the last five weeks, we've had three banks fail, and we have already exceeded the 2007 total by about $6 billion.

Speaker 141 Adjusted for inflation, but that also doesn't include credit suisse a month ago.

Speaker 42 And we know that our Federal Reserve provided money for them.

Speaker 10 We just won't actually know it for another two years.

Speaker 11 We now have PacWest and Western Alliance in trouble.

Speaker 112 Bank stocks went down 50%.

Speaker 9 We are,

Speaker 12 I don't think we're at the end of this.

Speaker 52 Feels more like the beginning of something.

Speaker 33 Carol Roth is with us.

Speaker 90 Carol, do I have that right?

Speaker 11 Do you think we're at the beginning of something or is this over now?

Speaker 3 So I think we're probably at

Speaker 96 you're cutting in and out. Sorry.

Speaker 3 Hey, go ahead.

Speaker 123 No,

Speaker 128 Carol, we've got to fix it.

Speaker 87 Technology. All right.

Speaker 74 See if you can take her off the air real quick and fix it.

Speaker 9 I want to buy a minute here while you're trying to do that.

Speaker 90 Let me tell you about my pillow.

Speaker 15 Sometimes all you want is curl up on the couch with a nice book, warm beverage.

Speaker 72 We won't be going to commercials after this station.

Speaker 87 Let's go back to Carol, who I think is on the phone now.

Speaker 32 Hi, Carol.

Speaker 84 I talked to her a little bit last night on Studios America, Glenn. We went through, maybe we could talk to her about this when we get through this.

Speaker 84 The commercial real estate, which is something I feel like has been really off the radar for most people.

Speaker 84 But you think about the combination of this problem that we're having in combination with what happened after COVID, where people don't want to go to these buildings anymore.

Speaker 84 They don't want to, they're not filling these office buildings anymore.

Speaker 84 It could be a real crisis.

Speaker 2 And they're all coming up for renewal of their loans.

Speaker 52 It's really not good.

Speaker 2 Carol?

Speaker 143 Yes, Glenn.

Speaker 3 Let me hear me. Yes, I can.

Speaker 12 Let me just say this.

Speaker 18 Whoever does these kinds of things, put a hard line into her house so we don't have this problem again.

Speaker 3 Carol.

Speaker 73 Yes.

Speaker 33 The Fed is going to raise rates again.

Speaker 77 Isn't this banking thing

Speaker 49 unstable because they've been raising rates?

Speaker 143 Yes, this has been a one-two punch from the Fed. They are the ones that have caused this problem.
And unfortunately, nobody in the mainstream media is really pointing the fingers at what happened.

Speaker 143 When they had 15 years of accommodated monetary policy,

Speaker 143 suppressed interest rates, about nine years of that was at near zero interest rates for their target rate, and they've built up their balance sheet to $9 trillion.

Speaker 143 That put a bunch of money in the system that wasn't based on market demand. That was based on the Fed playing God.

Speaker 143 And so there was too much money for the banking system to handle. And the banks had to make decisions.
And they all made different decisions. We had Silicon Valley Bank, who threw out its treasuries.

Speaker 143 We had First Republic who made really low-cost loans to rich people for their mortgages, so on and so forth.

Speaker 143 But the reason that they were kind of making these boneheaded decisions is because they had all this money and it really didn't foot with supply and demand.

Speaker 143 Then on the other side of the Fed doing that, when we ended up having not just the asset inflation, but it seeped into

Speaker 143 spending and consumer prices, then we had

Speaker 143 way too much

Speaker 143 that changed on a dime from the Fed.

Speaker 143 They raised rates at an incredibly historically rapid rate to the point that now you have all of these balance sheets upside down at these different banking institutions.

Speaker 143 And I heard you and Stu talking previously, you know, it's not just these decisions that we've been seeing, but things like commercial real estate.

Speaker 143 We have half of commercial real estate mortgages that are coming due within the next two years.

Speaker 143 And the most risky part of that is the office space. As we know, people aren't going back to the offices like they were.

Speaker 143 About a quarter of those are coming due to be refinanced during this year, during 2023.

Speaker 143 So we have those issues. We have risky pools of

Speaker 51 who's going to write those loans.

Speaker 49 We already have a liquidity problem. They keep saying, who is going to write the loans for giant buildings downtown that are sitting empty?

Speaker 143 Right.

Speaker 143 Who's going to write them at today's interest rate? And

Speaker 143 how is that math foot? It does not not work. And so we're going to end up with loans that are underwater.

Speaker 143 And we're going to see that ending up being an issue that goes throughout the banking system that we haven't yet seen.

Speaker 143 So in terms of your original question of kind of where we are, it's very possible that we are in like sort of the first third to half of something that's not just a recession, but something that is a legitimate financial crisis.

Speaker 143 And again, we need to point the blame at the Federal Reserve and at the government for having this negligent, destructive monetary policy because we keep hearing, oh, it's the banks and it's regulation.

Speaker 143 It's the Fed.

Speaker 109 So what is the problem with like PacWest and

Speaker 78 some of the others that were mentioned?

Speaker 35 Zion's Bank was mentioned.

Speaker 97 What's the problem with those guys?

Speaker 2 Is it the same problem?

Speaker 49 And it just once one goes down, then it makes those guys weaker?

Speaker 113 We're going going to end up with six banks.

Speaker 143 Yes, I mean, I mean, that's the problem.

Speaker 143 We call it the great consolidation, which is happening in all industries, and certainly is a real issue with the banking system, which creates lots of issues not just for consumer choice but for introductions of things that I know you've been researching for your book future.

Speaker 143 And I've been researching for you all nothing CBDCs. It's much

Speaker 143 easier to implement a CBDC if you have five banks in the system.

Speaker 68 You shut down all talk about ending ESG if they're all Fed banks.

Speaker 47 Because

Speaker 24 you get the five big ones, they're already in on it.

Speaker 143 They're completely in on it, and there's just a consolidation of more control in the system.

Speaker 143 And if you think about what we're talking about here, too big to fail, we're seeing these small issues pop up in different places, but the fallback position is, well, there are some bigger banks to absorb it.

Speaker 143 What happens when you just have a few big banks? If something happens with those, game over. So centralization is definitely not my friend.

Speaker 143 And with each of these individual banks, like you were talking about,

Speaker 143 they each have a different flavor of some issue where there was too much money, and so they put it into something where they're not earning a great return or their security isn't doing particularly well.

Speaker 143 And then they have more deposits leaving the banks, A, because people are concerned the information is coming out, and so they want to be somewhere where they feel that it's safer, and B, because they can earn better interest elsewhere.

Speaker 143 They can put money into a three-month or a six-month treasury and be getting around a 5% yield. Why would you put that cash in your regional bank and be earning less on that?

Speaker 143 So, all of these things, again, caused by the meddling in the market.

Speaker 143 And, you know, we have to say, it sounds kind of planned, right? This is what happened after the Great Recession financial crisis. All of that legislation made it harder to have community banks.

Speaker 143 It decreased lending to small businesses. It favored the big banks and the big corporations.
And we saw this during COVID, and we're seeing it again. It is that consolidation.
It is that great reset.

Speaker 143 It is that dark future. And at the end of it, you will owe nothing.

Speaker 37 Carol,

Speaker 111 quickly, because I've got two questions and I'm already out of time.

Speaker 74 Let's try this one first.

Speaker 112 The debt ceiling.

Speaker 99 They're all saying that we're not going to negotiate because the cupboards are bare.

Speaker 35 That is ridiculous to even ⁇ I mean, it's insulting, but most people aren't paying attention.

Speaker 17 If the Republicans stick to their guns or if Joe Biden sticks to his and he's like, I'm not moving, and they're playing a game of chicken and nobody moves, What happens?

Speaker 143 I mean, I think that this June 1st date is somewhat of a joke. I mean, there is money in the system, and there's just a question of prioritizing what you use it to pay for.

Speaker 143 So they could shut down parts of the government, which obviously would be something that would be happy for the rest of us, and use that money to pay the debt.

Speaker 143 If they decide that they're not going to pay the debt, then we know that it's intentional because this is a choice. There's money to make a decision.

Speaker 143 They may not have money to do everything they want, but they could prioritize paying off the credit card. And if they don't, then I think we're in a very, very different scenario, Glenn.

Speaker 78 Wow, I hope we don't, I mean, I hope we don't have to face that because then what do you do when you know it's intentional?

Speaker 143 I mean,

Speaker 143 we've been, I've been on the air for 13 years and have talked about, oh, we're going to default on the debt

Speaker 143 every single time. And every single time somebody caves at the last moment.
So I think the probability is low, but that doesn't mean it's an impossibility because we've seen who's in charge.

Speaker 12 Well, yeah, I have to tell you that, I mean, I hope the Republicans don't flinch.

Speaker 118 I mean, they should not give an inch.

Speaker 75 It is totally reasonable.

Speaker 2 Totally reasonable.

Speaker 2 They cannot.

Speaker 143 I talked about this with Stu before. Debt ceiling is supposed to mean you cannot spend anymore.

Speaker 143 They have modified this more than 100 times since the end of World War II, and we've wrapped up $31.7 trillion. So obviously having a ceiling isn't a working issue.

Speaker 143 They have to find a different way to keep this fiscal train from running off the track.

Speaker 49 Okay, 30-second answer.

Speaker 13 Don't a lot of mortgages reset, I mean regular residential mortgages, far as the interest rate this year?

Speaker 143 So I think that most people, and I'd have to look up the specific number, have taken advantage of low-cost debt and have locked in long-term interest rates.

Speaker 143 But if you have something that's an adjustable rate,

Speaker 143 those are going to be an issue. But I think it's a pretty small part.
Residential real estate shouldn't be the issue, especially given the undersupply this time around.

Speaker 143 I'm much more concerned about commercial, about corporate loans, about derivatives, about things on that side.

Speaker 143 Not as concerned about revenue.

Speaker 83 I'm glad to hear that.

Speaker 36 Carol, thank you so much.

Speaker 143 My pleasure. You bet.

Speaker 24 Get Carol's new book, You Will Own Nothing.

Speaker 28 It comes out this summer, right?

Speaker 68 I think right after my book, which is Dark Future.

Speaker 31 You can order them both together online.

Speaker 35 You can order them separately if you want to just get Carol's book.

Speaker 8 And also, I am going to be in St.

Speaker 67 George, Utah.

Speaker 95 about two weeks before the book goes out, and we're going to have books there, and you'll be able to pick them up there.

Speaker 55 It'll be the first time, you'll be the first people to get the book, Dark Future.

Speaker 101 If you join us at our museum

Speaker 130 in St.

Speaker 90 George, Utah, you can find out more about that

Speaker 57 if you go to unitedwepledge.org. That's unitedwepledge.org.

Speaker 137 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 28 Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Speaker 48 There is,

Speaker 17 I read something today, you know,

Speaker 12 the study that is out about

Speaker 3 how bad our schools

Speaker 102 are becoming.

Speaker 112 I think it's much worse than anybody really understands.

Speaker 11 It is to the point to where

Speaker 125 our kids,

Speaker 93 maybe,

Speaker 93 maybe 20%

Speaker 34 know anything about American history.

Speaker 96 They are failing on everything.

Speaker 77 And think of that.

Speaker 25 Think of 20%

Speaker 11 of our kids know American history, can pass an American history test, okay?

Speaker 31 A grade appropriate.

Speaker 49 Only 20%.

Speaker 51 And think about what they've been taught.

Speaker 11 How much of that is real, true American history?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 84 It was like the Elon Musk interview with Bill Maher the other day, where he said he's talking to someone and they were talking about George Washington and they asked a kid, what do they know about him?

Speaker 4 And they said, well, he was a slave owner.

Speaker 85 That's it.

Speaker 49 Not even he was president.

Speaker 44 He was a slave owner.

Speaker 11 That's really depressing.

Speaker 89 Oh, it's really, really

Speaker 9 not good.

Speaker 37 I really encourage you to come see us in St.

Speaker 11 George.

Speaker 20 We're bringing the museum out for the very first time on the road, and it's open, I think, for 10 days.

Speaker 130 About 60% of the, it's open 12 hours a day for 10 days, and it's already 60% sold out.

Speaker 12 So, you need to get your tickets for this.

Speaker 52 Bring your kids.

Speaker 87 Bring your kids.

Speaker 8 It is, they will learn more history through that museum than they have probably even you learned in their whole life.

Speaker 40 There is true American history, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Speaker 2 All of it is addressed.

Speaker 91 And it'll take you probably a couple hours to go through it.

Speaker 78 And, you know, that's if you don't have a fat head like me given the tour.

Speaker 23 I'm going to be giving some of the tours myself, but please join us.

Speaker 42 Bring your kids.

Speaker 52 And you can get all of the ticket information at

Speaker 57 United We Pledge.org. United We Pledge.org.

Speaker 42 There are so many American giants among us, and one of them is mom.

Speaker 87 So much of the goodness in all of us comes from our mother's selflessness, the caring, the loving, and the worry that she gave for us.

Speaker 134 Abraham Lincoln said, all that I am, I owe my mother.

Speaker 134 Moms always worry about their kids, no matter how old or how far away.

Speaker 81 Let your mom know she did good.

Speaker 74 Get her something special this Mother's Day from American Giant.

Speaker 72 They began in 2012 when a clothing factory in North Carolina was shut down.

Speaker 101 They worked with the factory to keep it open, and now 10 years later, they make the best hoodie of all time.

Speaker 91 They make great quality American clothing.

Speaker 40 For spring and summer, a variety of colors, American Giant uses cotton that is grown in America, milled and cut and sewn right here by Americans.

Speaker 19 This Mother's Day, let your mom know that she is an American Giant.

Speaker 138 is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 138 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 49 So if you're somebody who likes to be prepared for things to come, there is one thing that nobody ever really talks about

Speaker 28 because

Speaker 8 I don't think up until now there has been any way to do anything about it.

Speaker 20 But it is a massive missing piece for anybody who wants to be prepared.

Speaker 8 And I'm going to go there in 60 seconds.

Speaker 44 All right, let me talk to you a little bit about Life Lock.

Speaker 75 There is a story that I just saw today.

Speaker 28 I love this.

Speaker 65 New report released today by Phishing Detection and Response Solutions Company details a staggering rise in credential phishing volume in the first quarter.

Speaker 50 How much do you think it went up?

Speaker 74 People fishing for your information.

Speaker 92 How much do you think?

Speaker 92 What would be bad?

Speaker 84 10%. 10%.

Speaker 45 Yeah.

Speaker 92 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 33 In the first month of this quarter,

Speaker 45 it went up 40%.

Speaker 2 Okay, that's a little more.

Speaker 49 But for the whole quarter, including that 40%, it's up a mere 527%.

Speaker 89 Oh, but that's it. That's all? So, yeah.

Speaker 92 I don't know why you would want to have cybersecurity at all.

Speaker 36 I mean, nobody's really after that stuff.

Speaker 56 No one can prevent all identity theft, especially when it's up 527%.

Speaker 7 But the best in the business, in my opinion, is Life Lock by Norton.

Speaker 55 All right, full disclosure before I get into this.

Speaker 26 Jace Medical is a sponsor of,

Speaker 18 are you just Blaze?

Speaker 15 You're not Radio 2, right?

Speaker 10 Yeah, okay.

Speaker 50 I talked to these guys a year ago, and they had what they put together was the Jace case, and it has five different antibiotics in it.

Speaker 87 And I thought that was really great because as we were talking, I said, you know, my daughter takes anti-seizure medication.

Speaker 66 You know, I'm on high blood pressure.

Speaker 60 And if you know anything at all about

Speaker 49 when the system breaks down, your antipsychotic drugs run out in 30 days.

Speaker 116 Your blood pressure, your anti-seizure, all the things that are keeping people alive

Speaker 60 that probably wouldn't have been alive a few years ago,

Speaker 24 they all run out in 30 days.

Speaker 57 Where are you going to get that?

Speaker 91 That's the question I asked you guys a year ago and you said, ah, we're working on it.

Speaker 2 Right.

Speaker 64 So let me bring in Dr. Sean Rowland.

Speaker 71 He is the founder and CEO of Jace Medical.

Speaker 129 What are you bringing?

Speaker 145 Well, as you mentioned, this was

Speaker 145 a year ago. We've been working on this for a while.
Yeah. You know, coming, bringing to market the antibiotics,

Speaker 145 knowing that that was just really the first step

Speaker 145 and a very important step, a vital step. But to your point, everyone's out there dealing with different personal conditions.

Speaker 145 And so finding a way to do our same service with the Jace case, which is our antibiotics, being able to do the same thing for chronic conditions. So we're super excited.

Speaker 145 We're here to let everyone know that

Speaker 145 they can now go to jacemedical.com. They can get access to up to a year's supply of their whatever chronic medication they take.

Speaker 145 Blood pressure, thyroid, seizure disorders.

Speaker 145 There's quite a list.

Speaker 35 How expensive is it to

Speaker 55 buy buy a year's worth?

Speaker 130 I know my daughter's medication for her anti-seizure is like 700 bucks a month.

Speaker 16 It's something outrageous.

Speaker 145 Yeah, so that's a really good question.

Speaker 145 It's so dependent on the actual medication you're taking. Some of them are pennies, some are not.
And so really, it runs the gamut. But what we've tried to do is

Speaker 145 basically make it as accessible as possible. It's not just the medications you've got to pay for.

Speaker 145 You've got to pay for the physician visit to have that encounter, to get the prescriptions, and then go to the pharmacy, get your prescriptions, and have them sent out.

Speaker 145 So packaging that all together, it turns out though that it's probably a lot more accessible than people realize, just because we're so used to dealing with insurance companies and co-pays and we are just disconnected from the true cost of the care that we receive.

Speaker 145 And so this, we kind of

Speaker 145 have taken all that out and made it a much more direct connection between ourselves, the patient, and the the physicians.

Speaker 22 So you put together a list here, and I don't recognize any of these drugs.

Speaker 94 I bet I'm on one of them.

Speaker 69 Foloxetine, isn't that anti-depression medicine or not?

Speaker 92 Yeah, that is one.

Speaker 26 And a 12-month supply is 60 bucks.

Speaker 134 That's great.

Speaker 110 Right.

Speaker 145 Yep.

Speaker 145 There's some on there that,

Speaker 145 you know, $40, $50, $60.

Speaker 145 You mentioned some seizure medications. Those might get up there a little more too.

Speaker 145 And right now, this is limited to

Speaker 145 pills, tablets,

Speaker 145 for the most part. So injectables aren't yet on the list.

Speaker 145 Insulin, which is a big request that we get. And how do you solve that problem for you?

Speaker 91 How do you solve it?

Speaker 55 How could you even store it for a year, though?

Speaker 84 So if it's stored properly,

Speaker 145 you do get, you can, in some cases, get up to a year of viability out of your insulin.

Speaker 145 As soon as you take it out of the fridge,

Speaker 145 the clock starts ticking and you get your 30 days or whatever it is.

Speaker 145 So there is a way to do it. And that's something that's a, that's another one that maybe we can come back and talk about, but that's another one that's in the works.
Right.

Speaker 85 And how are you, I mean, because the government is so freaked out about

Speaker 134 every kind of pill now,

Speaker 33 and they're cracking down on everything.

Speaker 71 And, you know, they're creating all kinds of problems and shortages and everything else.

Speaker 19 But

Speaker 79 do you have to have your doctor call in to you guys or what do you do?

Speaker 145 Right. So the biggest thing, bringing up kind of regulations and,

Speaker 128 you know,

Speaker 145 our goal, we want to empower people and we want to do that through access, access to

Speaker 145 physicians, access to the medications at a reasonable rate. And part of this, though, is not everything's on the table.
It's not everything's an appropriate or safe option.

Speaker 145 So of course, controlled substances, just an immediate off the list. There's no way I can get you a year supply of your ADD medication or your pain meds.

Speaker 145 And so there's there's certain medications that are just disqualified right off the bat.

Speaker 145 So that's that's and that it's appropriate. It's the best way to do it.
Yeah. We're talking about kind of

Speaker 17 cause you all kinds of trouble.

Speaker 93 Yeah. And it would and yeah, and I think,

Speaker 145 again, trying to balance access and empowerment with appropriateness

Speaker 145 is

Speaker 145 also really important for us. And so,

Speaker 145 you know, when it comes to the, to the controlled substances, that's just something that, that we're not able to, to, to help with with right now.

Speaker 145 Again, though, coming up with some other, got some things in the works there.

Speaker 145 So really, we're talking about the legacy drugs.

Speaker 145 These are your, you've been on your blood pressure meds for 10 years.

Speaker 145 You see your doctor regularly.

Speaker 145 Things are under control. You haven't changed your dose.
You're a safe patient. You're someone that I, as a physician, would feel comfortable knowing that you've got regular follow-up.

Speaker 145 I'm going to give you a year's prescription for this medication. And why not?

Speaker 145 And that can be applied to a lot of different medications and conditions. And they're all relatively, I'm going to say, low risk when you compare them to things like opiates and things.

Speaker 145 So that's where, kind of regulatory-wise,

Speaker 145 you know, it goes through a board-certified physician licensed in your state, goes to a pharmacy that also

Speaker 145 is licensed to do business in your state as well.

Speaker 42 And so.

Speaker 75 And the JACE case has,

Speaker 87 what, five flights of antibiotics?

Speaker 145 Right. So you've got five antibiotics in there, covers really quite a range of different potential bacterial infections.
They were specially curated and selected because of the things they cover.

Speaker 145 You know, we want to cover things that are common, that might be common in a scenario where you don't have access to medical care, things like UTIs, you know, urinary tract infections or sinusitis or pneumonia.

Speaker 145 We also want to cover things that are really deadly, like a bioterror attack.

Speaker 145 You know, if there was an incident of bioterror in your city, some aerosolized anthrax, which is one of the agents that's been identified by the government.

Speaker 70 Plague.

Speaker 145 Plague is another one. They're using it.

Speaker 12 And don't worry anybody.

Speaker 130 Just, you know, in China, the same lab, they're just doing some experiments with the lab.

Speaker 71 I mean, with the black plague and

Speaker 3 should work out fine.

Speaker 145 Well, so there is

Speaker 145 treatment for that and prophylactic treatment that everyone would need to be on. For example, one of the drugs that are in the kit is doxycycline.

Speaker 145 So the idea is that you'd get the whole population taking prophylactic doxycycline in the event of one of these attacks to

Speaker 145 prevent getting sick, right?

Speaker 145 And so how that that gets from the national stockpile into your hands as a citizen in whatever city you're in, I'm not sure how well that's going to go.

Speaker 145 We kind of saw how the vaccine rollout went and things like that. Probably, probably,

Speaker 145 and you need to be, and it needs to happen within 24 hours. So probably not going to happen.

Speaker 145 So that's one of the ones we include. And we include it in an amount that would be appropriate for you to take, which is two months.
You've got to take that medication for two straight months.

Speaker 35 Then that's in the JSCAC?

Speaker 145 And that's in the JS case.

Speaker 35 Wow. I didn't know it was two months.

Speaker 145 Yeah,

Speaker 145 it's a long prophylactic.

Speaker 11 And can you get it for each member of your family?

Speaker 145 So, yeah, and this is another one where

Speaker 145 we need to operate within these appropriate bounds. And so right now,

Speaker 145 this is for

Speaker 145 one person because it's got to be prescribed to that person through the physician.

Speaker 145 And then age-wise, we deal with, basically, it's adults, but if you've got a minor, if you've got a child that's 14 or older in your family,

Speaker 145 they're basically going to be taking adult doses anyway. So we'll do it for 14 and older as well.

Speaker 145 So it does leave a big portion when you're talking about pediatric patients and those that are younger. And so that's another one.

Speaker 3 I have to tell you,

Speaker 3 this is, you guys are, are you guys preppers?

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 35 I'm going to say yes.

Speaker 145 I guess preppers is like everyone,

Speaker 3 there's such a range of

Speaker 58 preppers.

Speaker 93 I know.

Speaker 12 Let me just say this.

Speaker 31 You're worried about the supply chains.

Speaker 2 You're worried about things.

Speaker 145 I could sit here for the next three hours and talk about the dangers, the knife's razor's knife edge that we are on.

Speaker 145 That is at its core why

Speaker 145 I did this

Speaker 145 is because of that because of living through pre-COVID, being in a hospital, in a community hospital and dealing with shortages at that time, which was for me just like, what is going on?

Speaker 145 How can this be?

Speaker 113 We stopped being

Speaker 31 the America I know during COVID for multiple reasons.

Speaker 24 But one,

Speaker 81 I remember people saying, well, we're out of that.

Speaker 11 We won't have it for maybe six months.

Speaker 114 And I'm like, what the

Speaker 3 mean?

Speaker 145 And that might work for the computer chip in your car. You can get a car.
You just won't have all the fancy things. Or maybe you can wait a year for your stove to, you know, a new stove to install.

Speaker 145 But that doesn't work for medications.

Speaker 145 And

Speaker 28 if we go to war, China even just does a trade war with us.

Speaker 60 Don't they make like

Speaker 95 18 different ingredients that we don't have access to?

Speaker 47 Like most of our drugs.

Speaker 145 At least. Yeah, all roads lead back to China when we're talking about pharmaceutical supply.
Even when you look at factories in India, for example, which is another big supplier

Speaker 145 for the world, not just for the United States, we're in line with everybody else for the world.

Speaker 145 Turns out, and this happened over COVID, actually, India's government came out and

Speaker 145 said for the first time, because these are numbers that are really hard to find. The FDA can't find them.

Speaker 145 And the government's trying to figure out how can we get more transparency in the supply chain.

Speaker 145 India came out and said that around 70% of their active pharmaceutical ingredients for their product for their manufacturing process come from China.

Speaker 22 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 145 So, so again, kind of all roads seem to lead back to China.

Speaker 145 Certainly, when we talk about generic medications, which is 95% of what we take in the United States on a daily basis, are generic medications. Virtually 100% of those are produced out of the U.S.

Speaker 145 and mainly have some tie, whether it's an ingredient or outright

Speaker 145 manufacturing in China.

Speaker 85 Well, it's good to talk to you.

Speaker 3 I'm interested to see how this is all going to work out.

Speaker 45 I want you to go to the, then this is not a commercial.

Speaker 28 I was so excited when they talked to me about the Jace case.

Speaker 26 One of the first things I said was, what about all the people that are going to die in 30 days if the supply chain breaks down?

Speaker 15 And they said, we're working on it.

Speaker 13 And I said, when you guys have it, you can come on the show because this is the one piece of a prepper's job that has not been able to be solved.

Speaker 145 Yeah, absolutely. You've got your food, you've got your water, but without your health,

Speaker 3 just

Speaker 87 America, without its psychiatric meds,

Speaker 35 the number of depression we have that are killing themselves now.

Speaker 7 Imagine in hard times and no medication, in 30 days, you start to have...

Speaker 3 That's terrifying.

Speaker 42 Well, Well, and some of them are life-threatening.

Speaker 145 Specifically, you're talking about some of the psychiatric medications. Those are ones, you know, if you stop taking your statin for your cholesterol,

Speaker 145 you're probably going to be okay for a bit. You can get back on.
You've got some time. Right.

Speaker 145 There's those other medications, specifically in the kind of psych realm and some others, that you can't just stop them, cold turkey.

Speaker 145 There's going to be consequences. And you're right.
We just haven't had a viable option

Speaker 145 to protect yourself or your family.

Speaker 26 Protect your family now.

Speaker 20 Go to jacemedical.com, find out all about it.

Speaker 80 Jace, J-A-S-E-Medical.com.

Speaker 145 This is great.

Speaker 92 You've been great at helping us get the word out. You bet.

Speaker 35 10 seconds, station ID.

Speaker 49 Hey, you know what makes me feel really good, Stu?

Speaker 3 Everything. Yeah.

Speaker 8 In the news. Yeah.

Speaker 38 What's really, really exciting is, you know, we've been worried about the AI thing lately.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 84 Notice that. Yeah.

Speaker 78 The president has assigned Kamala Harris

Speaker 71 to

Speaker 71 oversee our AI policy.

Speaker 84 After her success with Ukraine and Afghanistan and the border,

Speaker 81 I mean, put her right on the bus.

Speaker 91 She's the one to do it.

Speaker 7 She's the one to do it.

Speaker 84 Can you imagine

Speaker 84 what a waste of time it must feel like for these CEOs, executives that are in control of all these industries to have to meet with her?

Speaker 6 What on earth?

Speaker 136 I don't know if I could.

Speaker 104 She can't get through a sentence.

Speaker 12 I think I would say I had leprosy that day. Yeah.

Speaker 95 And somebody else, who do we hate in this company?

Speaker 8 Send them.

Speaker 84 Yeah,

Speaker 84 you have somebody employed just to take those meetings.

Speaker 35 who is completely worthless in this company?

Speaker 61 Overpaid.

Speaker 54 Everybody questions, why do they even work here?

Speaker 87 Today's the day we answer that.

Speaker 28 You go meet with the vice president.

Speaker 84 And of course, that's the same choice being made at the White House. Who's the person who's worthless and doesn't really do anything? Send them.
Oh, it's Kamala Harris.

Speaker 91 Every time.

Speaker 89 Every time.

Speaker 98 Can you imagine?

Speaker 87 Oh, I just love, I love my phone.

Speaker 95 I love my phone. And the idea of an A and an I,

Speaker 60 because it's like the iPhone, but you've added an A.

Speaker 49 And I love that because A's make me think of the ABCs, which makes me think of school buses.

Speaker 3 And I love school buses.

Speaker 18 Who here?

Speaker 49 Raise your hand if you love school buses.

Speaker 99 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 84 And then you're this person who's like in the middle of

Speaker 53 an arms race.

Speaker 84 to develop literally an arms race between not only the companies here in the United States, but all these countries around the world.

Speaker 84 And you have to take out a day to go talk to the vice president to explain to her, I'm sure, the most rudimentary aspects of

Speaker 6 this and everything else.

Speaker 84 What a waste of time.

Speaker 134 Can you imagine?

Speaker 79 Einstein was the one they sent to talk to FDR about the atomic bomb.

Speaker 19 Okay.

Speaker 51 He spoke to the president.

Speaker 3 Literally.

Speaker 2 Einstein.

Speaker 65 Right. Literally Einstein.

Speaker 98 So we're taking the closest we got to Einstein, and we're sending them in to talk to the vice president, not the president, because the president might be worse.

Speaker 8 He might actually at some point say, you know, I can't work the remote for the TV upstairs.

Speaker 82 Do any of you kids?

Speaker 8 Do you know how to do that?

Speaker 35 I mean, that's if he's awake.

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 47 So you got Kamala or Joe Biden.

Speaker 62 I mean, it's, it's, no one can, can believe this is legitimate.

Speaker 84 Like,

Speaker 84 no one can believe this is a, like, a legitimate way to run a country.

Speaker 139 Like, you look at these two, they're both obviously terrible, right?

Speaker 139 Everyone understands this. They're both obviously terrible at everything they do.

Speaker 3 This is the review of the people who are not. If you don't think they are, would you call in right now?

Speaker 77 If you don't think they are, legitimately, I legitimately don't think they are.

Speaker 24 I want to talk to you because I don't understand it.

Speaker 89 If you legit, no, don't get into, well, they're not Trump.

Speaker 17 Don't know.

Speaker 114 Tell me

Speaker 93 what I'm missing when Stu says or I say, they are the worst.

Speaker 51 I wouldn't put them in charge of an ice cream truck.

Speaker 89 I really wouldn't.

Speaker 25 I would not put them in charge.

Speaker 81 Hey, you drive through the neighborhood.

Speaker 28 Well, one, he'd be sniffing hair, but not even for that reason.

Speaker 63 I just don't think they're competent enough to run a good humor truck

Speaker 84 for a summer. This is like an experiment of like, what if william hung one american idol like that's smooth

Speaker 3 that's like hey what if he what if he just beat out carrie underwood and that's how that thing ended let's give that a whirl as a nation

Speaker 35 well or screw i'm i'm anxious no i'm anxious to see how it works out for us

Speaker 120 the glenn back program All right, if you're retired or you're planning ahead,

Speaker 78 you know, it's natural you should be a little bit worried about the state of the economy, the value of your dollar, the value of stocks.

Speaker 103 If this continues, we are in a real crisis.

Speaker 96 I mean, maybe they'll come up with something, you know,

Speaker 112 unethical, illegal, unconstitutional to do this time

Speaker 3 to save us all.

Speaker 45 But eventually, you lose the dollar.

Speaker 71 Eventually, it loses value.

Speaker 28 Your stocks are going to tank.

Speaker 10 I would just suggest that maybe you have, you spread your wealth out as much as possible, as thin and as wide as possible.

Speaker 3 So if you have a retirement fund, please find out if you can take a

Speaker 10 401k

Speaker 68 TSP traditional IRA, all the IRAs,

Speaker 11 and spread it out with gold or silver.

The promo code is Glenn.

Speaker 45 This is the Glenn Beck program tonight on my Wednesday night special on Blaze TV.

Speaker 56 In 20, what was it, 12?

Speaker 55 I wrote a book called Agenda 21, and it was a fictional look at what life would look like for a young woman if the real Agenda 21 program was allowed to happen.

Speaker 81 In real life, the United Nations stopped promoting Agenda 21 in name after I exposed it.

Speaker 32 It became Agenda 2030, and then the 2015 Paris Accords was the global collaboration to finally see it through.

Speaker 37 Now, keep in mind, this is a global government initiative that was telegraphed long before I wrote Agenda 21.

Speaker 37 But I don't think we anticipated the collaboration it would get from the corporate elites.

Speaker 66 They are now moving in parallel, but they now call Agenda 21, Agenda 21,

Speaker 67 2030, the Great Reset.

Speaker 76 The hellscape that I wrote about in 2012, the massive authoritarian surveillance state, the lack of property ownership, the restrictions on food production, the complete transformation of society is here.

Speaker 41 It is here.

Speaker 130 If I could go back and write some, you know, another chapter to Agenda 21,

Speaker 49 I would describe how the whole collapse happened because now we see it.

Speaker 46 I'd show how corporations partnered with the government to forcefully change societal behavior.

Speaker 81 I would show how they seized control of energy and agriculture and transportation.

Speaker 118 I'd describe how big tech partnered with intelligence agencies and federal law enforcement to spy on people, censor content, and even elect politicians that would further the transformation.

Speaker 112 None of what I described just now is fiction anymore.

Speaker 33 The public-private partnership between big finance corporations, university, intelligence agencies, federal law enforcement, they're pushing further and further towards what is in the book, Agenda 21, and that was fiction.

Speaker 130 And it's happening right now.

Speaker 38 I'm going to show you tonight.

Speaker 76 I'll show you where we are on this dystopian timeline,

Speaker 71 just like the title of my next book that comes out in July on the Great Reset.

Speaker 67 I will show you our dark future if we don't get off this path.

Speaker 26 Don't miss tonight, Wednesday night at 9 p.m.

Speaker 44 Blaze TV at 9.30 on my YouTube channel, youtube.com slash Glenn Beck.

Speaker 67 Our dark future decoded.

Speaker 8 What is coming next in the dystopian nightmare America?

Speaker 84 And part of my dark future is having you on the show tonight. Oh, great.

Speaker 84 So at 8 p.m. Eastern, having a little conversation with Glenn, followed up by Glenn TV on blazetv.com slash Glenn.

Speaker 3 Miss Ducker Carlson.

Speaker 8 Zelensky has just come out.

Speaker 71 We found out about two hours ago there was an overnight attack on the Kremlin.

Speaker 14 Putin's people said that it was two Ukrainian

Speaker 90 drones.

Speaker 84 Right, and we have no idea if that's accurate or not not at this point.

Speaker 35 And they said that they were sent to kill Putin and assassinate him.

Speaker 26 Zelensky comes out and said, they had nothing to do.

Speaker 93 I don't know.

Speaker 81 So we don't know.

Speaker 112 The border is on absolute fire.

Speaker 90 We're going to be covering a lot of this next week because

Speaker 17 we've got people lined up.

Speaker 105 They're expecting now 10,000 new people every day on our southern border just coming through.

Speaker 26 If you see the video of El Paso today,

Speaker 108 that's an American city.

Speaker 51 It looks like Haiti and people are sleeping four or five deep on the sidewalk.

Speaker 3 It is awful.

Speaker 58 It is awful. I've never seen anything like that.

Speaker 84 It's incredible that that's an American city.

Speaker 97 It's an American city.

Speaker 141 If we shipped just the numbers of people that they sent to El Paso, if we would send them to New York or Chicago,

Speaker 107 they would say we are crippling the city.

Speaker 89 They're already doing it with 150 people.

Speaker 62 They've already said it, yeah.

Speaker 39 Okay.

Speaker 121 These are thousands of people in the little town of El Paso.

Speaker 91 And that's a big town on the border

Speaker 6 compared to some of these other places that are being completely overrun.

Speaker 117 They're wiping these towns out.

Speaker 17 They are killing.

Speaker 24 the states on the southern border and they don't care.

Speaker 84 It is El Paso's 678,000 people, which is a moderate-sized city.

Speaker 84 Think of these little border towns that are getting absolutely overrun by these problems year after year after year, day after day after day. And it's so much worse with Title 42 about to go away.

Speaker 84 The fact that they sent down 1,500 troops to the border to try to do, you know, to try to control this.

Speaker 58 So they're not controlling.

Speaker 87 The White House is just they're going to process people.

Speaker 84 Now, of course, when Trump did a very similar thing, they said it was a moral

Speaker 84 abomination that he would send troops to the border. Now, apparently, it's just processing.

Speaker 12 Yeah, so it's no big deal.

Speaker 87 Now, I want you to,

Speaker 82 this is going to shock you.

Speaker 64 I want you to pull over the side of the road or sit down.

Speaker 11 If you're sipping hot coffee, don't get away from anything hot, anything, because you might just pass out on this news.

Speaker 116 A new, and I'm quoting, groundbreaking study

Speaker 11 says that trans women

Speaker 22 face prostate cancer risk.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 18 a new study has been done.

Speaker 4 Oh, no. Yeah.

Speaker 108 And there's a misperception, I'm quoting the study, a misperception that because these are women,

Speaker 140 They identify as women, they look like women, that you don't necessarily think you should check for prostate cancer.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 91 Yeah.

Speaker 136 You know, that's a good point.

Speaker 84 And this, of course, has been happening

Speaker 91 for a while.

Speaker 84 We've seen people die over this because people come in. I have this real pain in my stomach.

Speaker 91 Okay, sir.

Speaker 84 What do you think it is? I don't know.

Speaker 139 I can't think of what it could be.

Speaker 135 Oh, he's pregnant.

Speaker 135 And doctors are like, I don't know. Honestly, I don't know if the doctors are actually fooled by this.

Speaker 3 Like, they're like, like, I don't know.

Speaker 2 Who knows?

Speaker 3 Oh, or they don't want to be terrified to say, could you be pregnant?

Speaker 84 So

Speaker 6 that's

Speaker 3 just remarkable.

Speaker 135 We talked to a guy,

Speaker 91 I'm sorry, a woman earlier today.

Speaker 83 Yeah, Ryan.

Speaker 87 I think he's brave.

Speaker 62 I've made a brave choice to come out.

Speaker 99 He's from Indiana.

Speaker 11 He's on his county council.

Speaker 31 He's a Republican.

Speaker 70 He's married, has six children, but he wants to live his true, you know, his true life and live his truth.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 84 And there's some people saying, you know, is this

Speaker 84 man, a man who has falsely identified as a woman?

Speaker 6 Falsely.

Speaker 58 Right. That's what some people are saying.

Speaker 81 Okay, well, they're haters.

Speaker 135 And I'm here to tell you that's the case in all of these situations.

Speaker 139 It's not just this one.

Speaker 2 All of them.

Speaker 139 100%.

Speaker 139 of these situations are men just saying they're women.

Speaker 139 They don't actually magically turn into women that is the case in 0% of these microphone off this is dangerous okay okay let's try to bring some stats all right i have today yeah yeah yeah

Speaker 74 stats lie uh now let me ask you i finally found something remember the monikalewinski lesson yes that i learned back in the 90s we just talked about it what a couple of days ago what's the monikalewinski lesson that i learned so back in the mono kalewinsky day there was a big debate and and people on the right were saying he did it.

Speaker 84 And people on the left were saying, no, he didn't. And it was, yes, he did.
No, he didn't. Yes, he did.
No, he didn't. Yes, he did.

Speaker 4 No, he didn't.

Speaker 84 And what we should have been saying is, if he did,

Speaker 126 does it matter? Correct. Let's not argue about whether he did.

Speaker 88 Maybe they'll come out that he did it. Maybe they'll come out that he didn't do it.

Speaker 2 Right.

Speaker 117 If, let's lock you in now. If he did it, does it matter?

Speaker 126 Correct.

Speaker 93 Notice no one in the press is asking that about money from Hunter Biden and China to Joe Biden.

Speaker 76 Right.

Speaker 58 No, he didn't do it. He didn't do it.

Speaker 6 It's a laptop.

Speaker 139 It's not his laptop.

Speaker 84 Well, if it is his laptop, is it a problem?

Speaker 63 Does it matter?

Speaker 51 Why would you say this is so bad that the Russians would create it if it didn't matter?

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 12 Here's the latest.

Speaker 36 And I want you on record right now.

Speaker 116 I want you to say it out loud, assuming that

Speaker 95 you're okay after the news that trans women can have prostate cancer.

Speaker 28 That one took me by,

Speaker 28 I mean, shock isn't even the beginning of the word.

Speaker 49 Here's the latest, and I want you to decide and say it out loud.

Speaker 18 Is this okay

Speaker 118 or not?

Speaker 12 You're going to be tempted.

Speaker 54 to get into the argument.

Speaker 87 That's not going to happen. Yes, it is.
No, it's not. Yes, it is.
No, it's not.

Speaker 102 You live in America in, well, what used to be called America in 2023.

Speaker 43 Don't rule anything out.

Speaker 119 Don't rule a damn thing out.

Speaker 43 Nothing.

Speaker 43 If it can happen, oh, it probably will.

Speaker 49 Here's the latest trend for trans people.

Speaker 11 People identifying as disabled.

Speaker 128 People who are

Speaker 18 disabled.

Speaker 37 Now, the executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons said, in my opinion, both transgender and transabled persons suffer from a delusional disorder.

Speaker 101 I hope they strip him of his license right away.

Speaker 8 Body integrity identity disorder, bid, is what is now being labeled for transableism to better align it with transgender.

Speaker 11 The report goes on to print that the change in label would be from a diagnosable psychiatric condition to an advocacy term

Speaker 101 such as moving from bid to transable allows people to use them to harness the stunning cultural power of gender

Speaker 38 ideology.

Speaker 104 So

Speaker 125 will doctors

Speaker 16 This is what they're predicting now.

Speaker 72 This has been going up in Canada for a while.

Speaker 51 Will doctors remove perfectly healthy limbs because

Speaker 101 you believe you were born with one too many arms?

Speaker 76 That you are

Speaker 24 you're legless, you lost it, and you should only have what you were born to be handicapped.

Speaker 27 Will they perform the surgery?

Speaker 87 That's the first question.

Speaker 87 Second,

Speaker 3 is it okay?

Speaker 111 Answer both those questions right. Here it is.

Speaker 106 I want you to say it out loud.

Speaker 76 One,

Speaker 122 good chance they do the surgery someplace in the future here soon.

Speaker 122 Okay.

Speaker 102 Next one.

Speaker 51 Is it okay?

Speaker 87 All right. I think we can be friends.

Speaker 60 I think we can be friends.

Speaker 63 If you answered,

Speaker 9 if you answered, no, it will never happen, you're an imbecile.

Speaker 8 You haven't been paying attention.

Speaker 112 Pay attention, class.

Speaker 103 If

Speaker 82 you think that doctors won't do it,

Speaker 37 you're also an imbecile.

Speaker 63 Any doctor who says, like that doctor just said, this is a mental disorder, they'll be run out of their job if this doesn't stop.

Speaker 25 That's the next space we go.

Speaker 12 They'll never, ever try to normalize pedophilia.

Speaker 67 That's crazy.

Speaker 105 Really?

Speaker 24 Because they're doing it.

Speaker 87 That's a question you have to ask all of your friends.

Speaker 113 Hey, if I identify as a handicapped person, do I have a mental disorder?

Speaker 31 Or should I go to the doctor and the doctor should have to remove my arm or my leg?

Speaker 28 Because I was born that way.

Speaker 87 It just happens to be that it somehow or another grew out.

Speaker 84 You're just trying to get yourself invited to parties, aren't you?

Speaker 41 Yes.

Speaker 84 Yeah, because I mean, no one's more fun at a party than Glenn Beck.

Speaker 43 I'm telling you, be on the record.

Speaker 24 Be on the record right now.

Speaker 136 Be on the record.

Speaker 107 That's the only way you can stop this madness.

Speaker 2 I guess you're right.

Speaker 84 Because I would have said the same thing about gender a few years ago.

Speaker 3 Of course.

Speaker 84 Of course, everyone's going to answer that the right way. Of course, they are.
But I think the same thing has to do with age. We talked about it yesterday with Dylan Mulvaney.

Speaker 84 Dylan Mulvaney comes out as a teenage girl, a teenage girl.

Speaker 84 How are you going to accept that?

Speaker 97 Are you going to accept that Dylan Mulvaney is 14 years old?

Speaker 122 And

Speaker 50 here's how you need to do it.

Speaker 86 You need to ask your friends, hey, do you believe that's right or wrong?

Speaker 49 If they say wrong, say why?

Speaker 97 And get them on, I tape it, get them on record explaining to their future self why it's wrong.

Speaker 139 Do you keep friends after this exchange? No.

Speaker 20 But you have them on tape.

Speaker 37 Okay. And

Speaker 104 you get them to explain.

Speaker 77 Get them to think about it.

Speaker 127 Why is it wrong?

Speaker 24 If they say, no, I don't think there's a problem with that, they're lost.

Speaker 17 Move on.

Speaker 52 Just move on.

Speaker 11 You'll never convince anybody. If they are already at transableism,

Speaker 15 there is no hope for your friend.

Speaker 69 No matter how smart your dog is, I promise you that he isn't smart enough to make a healthy salad.

Speaker 82 And that's what our dogs need.

Speaker 35 Let me tell you something.

Speaker 70 You come come at my dog with a head of lettuce, he'll chew your throat out.

Speaker 111 Anyway, kibble foods, not so good.

Speaker 33 And given a big fat plate of basically nothing with kibble foods, not great for your dog.

Speaker 24 Brown food, dead food.

Speaker 26 Everybody knows bunnies don't eat things that are brown.

Speaker 92 Well, they probably do, if you know what I mean.

Speaker 14 They actually

Speaker 26 like green stuff.

Speaker 130 And they have tremendous eyesight, I hear.

Speaker 37 Fortunately, naturopathic Dr.

Speaker 11 Dennis Black Black invented the solution.

Speaker 105 you're lying.

Speaker 122 Stop lying.
