Speaker 4 Let me tell you about

Speaker 8 I have a feeling that my dog was hit by a skunk this morning

Speaker 11 because I wake up and

Speaker 9 my bedroom smells like skunk.

Speaker 14 And

Speaker 17 then I see my little doggy outside, like the window going,

Speaker 18 I'm like, oh, somebody went out.

Speaker 26 is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 3 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 31 Hey, there, you sick twisted freak.

Speaker 47 Yet,

Speaker 32 another central bank got a phone call from Vladimir Zelensky.

Speaker 20 And as it turns out, it's not Vladimir Zelensky.

Speaker 35 It was an AI thing.

Speaker 50 Wait, what, what?

Speaker 20 What's wrong with people?

Speaker 19 Let me tell you right now, so you can be the next central banker.

Speaker 51 When that phone rings and they're like, it's Vladimir Zelensky.

Speaker 15 Just know this.

Speaker 15 It's most likely not Vladimir Vladimir Zelensky.

Speaker 54 But we're finding out all kinds of things, and I want to tie it into

Speaker 19 the lessons I learned today listening to the New York Times, The Daily.

Speaker 29 They had some incredible information

Speaker 62 about the collapse of yet the latest bank.

Speaker 21 Wait until you hear it, because it opened up a whole new world for me.

Speaker 54 A whole new way of looking at things and understanding the banking crisis in a deep and significant way.

Speaker 67 We start there in 60 seconds.

Speaker 35 You know who you are.

Speaker 68 The moment I start talking about severe and frequent pain, your ears perk up, as they always do.

Speaker 69 You've been listening to me ramble on and on and on about Relief Factor.

Speaker 70 It always sounds nice, but you haven't tried it.

Speaker 3 Why?

Speaker 35 Because you were like me.

Speaker 35 You're stubborn.

Speaker 71 I don't think Relief Factor will work for me.

Speaker 61 I just.

Speaker 72 Aha, uh-huh.

Speaker 34 They advertise it on that Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 3 Uh-huh.

Speaker 51 I know. No, I know.

Speaker 35 There's a million reasons not to try it.

Speaker 51 Here's a really big one. To try it.

Speaker 17 It might work.

Speaker 73 You're out of pain.

Speaker 66 Three-week quick start, 1995, trial pack, not a drug developed by doctors.

Speaker 74 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on to order more.

Speaker 24 So go to relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief, 800 for relief, or relief factor.com.

Speaker 26 That's relief factor.com.

Speaker 16 Feel the difference.

Speaker 75 Wow.

Speaker 66 Stu, did you catch the New York Times the daily today?

Speaker 76 I did not. No.

Speaker 77 I haven't listened to it in months.

Speaker 78 But I thought,

Speaker 33 I thought, you know, today, maybe I'll see what they have to say.

Speaker 24 And I learned so much about the banking crisis. Did you?

Speaker 82 Yeah. yeah.

Speaker 83 So listen in and learn.

Speaker 34 So, Gina,

Speaker 57 another day, another bank failure.

Speaker 85 Starting to be the pattern these days.

Speaker 3 Very much. And after these

Speaker 2 two banks had failed, Silicon Valley Bank, then a couple days later, Signature Bank, the hope, and I'd say the expectation was that this crisis might be over.

Speaker 84 It was not over.

Speaker 2 In fact, the third bank, First Republic Bank, collapsed, and it was even bigger as a bank than the previous two that failed.

Speaker 84 So tell us about why First Republic Bank

Speaker 84 ultimately went under.

Speaker 85 I think that what happened at First Republic was sort of a slow-motion reaction to what happened at Silicon Valley Bank, that first bank that failed.

Speaker 85 The other thing is a lot of the sort of assets on First Republic's balance sheet, a lot of its loans, a lot of its, you know, sort of business isn't actually all that bad looking.

Speaker 85 It just didn't hold up well in the face of rising interest rates. And JP Morgan has also, in this case, got some guarantees from the government.

Speaker 85 The government is going to share in losses on the portions of the business that aren't looking so hot. Wait.

Speaker 2 Now, does that mean that the government, and by that I mean you and me, the taxpayer, are now subsidizing J.P.

Speaker 3 Morgan Chase's purchase of First Republic?

Speaker 2 So far, the government has been careful to say that no taxpayer money is being used to bail out any of these failing banks. So is that true in this case as well?

Speaker 85 It is, but it's a little bit complicated.

Speaker 85 This deal is going to cost the government about $13 billion,

Speaker 85 which is going to be covered by the insurance fund that's paid by every federally regulated bank.

Speaker 85 So it's not taxpayer money per se, but the banks will tell you, and some people outside of the banks will tell you that while this is paid for by assessments on banks, at the end of the day, that comes back to hit the bank customers because the banks are going to raise the money by charging more fees on mortgages, on bank accounts, on things like that.

Speaker 85 And so it's possible that you'll still end up subsidizing this, whether it's directly or not. It's possible.

Speaker 2 And even if you don't want to. So if you have any relationship with a federally regulated bank, which almost all of us do, you're in one form or another, eventually helping to pay for this deal.

Speaker 85 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 So if you're J.P. Morgan Chase, this is a pretty good deal, obviously, but

Speaker 2 there's something a little bit funny about it, which is that J.P. Morgan Chase is already the nation's largest bank.

Speaker 2 And after the financial crisis in 2008, the whole idea was that big banks shouldn't get any bigger, shouldn't be buying up their rivals because they might become too big to fail.

Speaker 87 So this deal seemed kind of at odds with that.

Speaker 85 So it is a little weird. I think the message we all took from 2008 was that really big banks can be dangerous.
And certainly that was baked into the legislation that we saw passing after 2008.

Speaker 85 We saw a restriction that said the largest banks in America can no longer acquire really big banks because we don't want too much of the nation's deposit base concentrated at any one bank.

Speaker 65 I don't want that.

Speaker 3 However,

Speaker 88 there was an exception to that rule.

Speaker 85 And the exception is that if a bank is failing, a large bank can acquire it. And that's really what we saw come into play here.

Speaker 85 JP Morgan was also able to offer the least cost option to acquire First Republic.

Speaker 73 You got to stop.

Speaker 90 You got to stop.

Speaker 91 Okay, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Speaker 59 So we learned that big banks were bad,

Speaker 23 and big banks can't grow any bigger.

Speaker 20 But how do they grow bigger, Stu?

Speaker 57 How do they grow bigger by buying other

Speaker 93 banks?

Speaker 20 Okay, so they can't do that.

Speaker 94 No.

Speaker 20 But if that bank fails,

Speaker 20 they can do that.

Speaker 96 Of course. Right.

Speaker 97 That makes total sense, doesn't it?

Speaker 99 So they can become much bigger, much more cheaply.

Speaker 101 Yeah. That's the

Speaker 76 goal of the legislation.

Speaker 19 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 102 And I mean, you know, not that the Federal Reserve is playing favorites at all.

Speaker 103 J.P.

Speaker 104 Morgan Jays.

Speaker 105 That's incredible, too. And it's like they had...

Speaker 100 to buy the bank, they were able to designate what parts of it they didn't want.

Speaker 26 so this is the partnership with the government the government's going to share the burden no you gave all of the good assets to jp morgan chase we took all the bad assets right i mean who does this deal it's incredible it's like if you like a one building in an apartment complex burns to the ground and then you say well i'm going to come in but i'm not going to take over any of the responsibility for the one that burned down i'm just going to take all of the nice buildings that are still operating with all uh renters in there paying their rent completely fine.

Speaker 119 I'll take all of those over for 80% off the cost.

Speaker 76 Oh, great.

Speaker 93 Yeah.

Speaker 76 You'll do that.

Speaker 101 That's wow.

Speaker 121 Thank you.

Speaker 24 So now, listen, if any of my renters start not paying the rent, you're going to have to have to take those.

Speaker 90 You'll take it off.

Speaker 68 But you could do it on insurance.

Speaker 125 You just get money from all the other apartment complexes, which are going to charge all of the other people in those apartments more money to rent their house.

Speaker 23 So in case some of my renters go down,

Speaker 19 you can pay me.

Speaker 96 Wow.

Speaker 59 What a good deal for the United States of America.

Speaker 93 Yeah, we win again.

Speaker 128 Yeah.

Speaker 119 And by the way, an insurance fund, when does this dry up?

Speaker 18 How many banks does this need to happen to before we have nothing left in this account?

Speaker 24 Okay, so there, from what I understand, there was nothing left in the account after we bailed out Silicon Valley Bank.

Speaker 9 Okay.

Speaker 23 But, but that it gets complicated here, Stu.

Speaker 74 It gets complicated.

Speaker 134 The government will just print more money.

Speaker 96 Oh.

Speaker 32 Well, but.

Speaker 3 Wait a minute.

Speaker 79 That doesn't seem complicated. Yeah.

Speaker 17 No.

Speaker 44 Well, you got to get the ink and the paper.

Speaker 8 But they're digitizing, and that's where it gets complex.

Speaker 136 Do we digitize it or do we print it?

Speaker 3 They don't know.

Speaker 137 They don't know. They'll have meetings and stuff.

Speaker 15 So it gets complicated and probably a little bit too much for you to understand.

Speaker 96 Yeah, above my pay grade.

Speaker 12 Above your pay grade just a little bit.

Speaker 105 They say, by the way, $128 billion are in this fund.

Speaker 99 Now, I know they just said this bank had $120 billion that were people pulled out that caused this crisis in the first place.

Speaker 140 Right. One bank.

Speaker 141 One bank.

Speaker 113 They lost $120 billion.

Speaker 113 There's $128 billion in the entire fund. Yeah.

Speaker 115 So, and we just spent apparently $13 billion.

Speaker 94 The taxpayer is not going to bear that burden.

Speaker 93 No, what happens when that runs out?

Speaker 57 Well, you're not going to bear that burden.

Speaker 24 They will get that money from the banks.

Speaker 20 And the banks will get that money just from people, you know, really rich people, people who have bank accounts.

Speaker 43 Okay.

Speaker 71 If you've got a bank account, sure, you're a fat cat who's going to even, yeah, but you probably have so much.

Speaker 15 I'm speaking directly to those few people in this audience that have bank accounts.

Speaker 43 Yeah.

Speaker 21 There's only a few.

Speaker 143 You've got a bank account.

Speaker 125 You're not even going to notice that's missing.

Speaker 19 You know what I mean?

Speaker 128 Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 62 So it's not you, the average taxpayer.

Speaker 124 It's just people that have bank accounts.

Speaker 107 Oh, okay.

Speaker 114 Yeah, I have another question.

Speaker 144 Yeah.

Speaker 145 Just a sidebar.

Speaker 147 So they also, to get through this crisis,

Speaker 148 the last couple months,

Speaker 100 when we were told they were going to make it.

Speaker 105 because we had all these incredible actions.

Speaker 29 Oh, it's all passed, except for the stuff that they know about that might be coming.

Speaker 117 They also borrowed about $50 billion from the Fed.

Speaker 150 What happens with that?

Speaker 147 Like, does JP Morgan Chase have to pay that back?

Speaker 121 How do they got that? They got that back.

Speaker 3 What?

Speaker 3 What?

Speaker 112 That money just is like.

Speaker 120 Why is your voice getting so high when you're?

Speaker 8 I'm just saying that they just don't have any, you know,

Speaker 30 that money is like, it's, there's nobody to pay it.

Speaker 20 There's, I mean, right.

Speaker 152 So there's no, there's no money there.

Speaker 97 So it's just like it just disappeared.

Speaker 141 Wait, what?

Speaker 147 What do you mean it just disappeared?

Speaker 71 It's on a balance sheet someplace. Right.

Speaker 3 But we don't know who

Speaker 76 and who paid.

Speaker 122 Probably the same damn people that own those bank accounts.

Speaker 87 Oh, okay, good.

Speaker 15 You know, we're going to squeeze them to get that money back.

Speaker 115 Because they keep telling me if we have.

Speaker 105 If you have less than $250,000 in your bank account, your money is safe.

Speaker 153 That money is guaranteed by the federal government.

Speaker 96 Okay.

Speaker 76 Well, I don't believe them.

Speaker 72 What do you mean?

Speaker 3 I don't.

Speaker 76 What do you mean?

Speaker 21 You go to, you have 250,000.

Speaker 51 Are you pulling your money out of the bank?

Speaker 115 I mean, I'm very, I don't know what to do, honestly.

Speaker 51 You leave your money in the bank.

Speaker 15 You make sure that you don't have more than $250,000.

Speaker 154 The government will just make more.

Speaker 8 What?

Speaker 78 That is basically what we're all supposed to believe, right?

Speaker 57 And they will.

Speaker 20 They will just print more.

Speaker 155 What do you do?

Speaker 112 To cover all losses from all bank accounts yes

Speaker 90 they'll just keep printing well what is that does that have modern monetary theory it's modern i'm being dead serious this is modern monetary theory i'm a tad concerned as what the fall might be to that why

Speaker 72 what could possibly happen i i mean inflation uh economic collapse inflation is transitory and the fed is working on that they have a plan in fact when the call came in from vladimir zelensky

Speaker 8 who wasn't Vladimir Zelensky, let me tell you something.

Speaker 161 If your organization can't figure out if that's actually the leader of Ukraine on the phone,

Speaker 6 you shouldn't have a credit card, let alone be in charge of the Fed.

Speaker 20 I'm just saying.

Speaker 153 But once again, a central banker is fooled by this group of people that are posing as Vladimir Zelensky and then recording it.

Speaker 5 And it's not on the phone.

Speaker 59 Apparently,

Speaker 70 it's a video conference call.

Speaker 98 How are they falling for a

Speaker 6 conference call? Yeah.

Speaker 57 Yeah, don't know.

Speaker 3 Don't know.

Speaker 15 But maybe, you know, just the computer rings.

Speaker 57 And you just, oh, hang on.

Speaker 49 I've got a FaceTime call coming in.

Speaker 121 It's Vladimir Zelensky.

Speaker 20 We didn't hear from your people or anything.

Speaker 49 How'd you get my number?

Speaker 20 Well, let me tell you all my deepest, darkest secrets that I'm not going to tell everybody else, but I'll tell you, Vladimir, because you're trustworthy.

Speaker 75 Here's what Powell said.

Speaker 70 Now, this is not what he's telling the American people.

Speaker 31 Listen to this.

Speaker 163 But what we're going to find is that growth in 2022 was... was positive, but modest.
It was subdued. So, you know, 1%

Speaker 163 around that level.

Speaker 163 In terms of this year, most forecasts call for the U.S. economy to continue to grow, but at a pretty subdued level.
So growth of less than 1%.

Speaker 22 Less than 1%.

Speaker 3 So stop for a second.

Speaker 142 Is anyone, does anyone on the planet think that growth of less than 1%

Speaker 20 is really growth?

Speaker 93 I mean, I think that's probably in the margin of error. Yeah.

Speaker 107 And I honestly,

Speaker 117 considering what other economists are saying, growth of under 1% would be positive.

Speaker 145 Yes.

Speaker 98 Yes, it would.

Speaker 107 Compared to what they're actually predicting, which is recession.

Speaker 97 Right. So

Speaker 39 he's maybe in the spin zone where he's like, you know, but Vlad, listen, we can keep sending you those bullets because our growth, our growth is like crazy

Speaker 52 right now.

Speaker 165 Crazy high

Speaker 145 zero point something numbers.

Speaker 22 Yeah. It's great.

Speaker 126 We are on track for another record year, and I mean that.

Speaker 166 Here he is.

Speaker 163 But we would tell you that a recession is almost as likely as

Speaker 163 very slow growth.

Speaker 3 Huh.

Speaker 3 Wait.

Speaker 65 That's nobody telling us.

Speaker 65 That's a fact.

Speaker 163 And I think that is partly because of

Speaker 163 us having raised rates quite a bit.

Speaker 3 But this is the first time.

Speaker 3 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 50 Whoa.

Speaker 109 Why are we having a recession, according to the Fed chair?

Speaker 20 Because the Fed

Speaker 62 is raising rates.

Speaker 22 Ha. Now, wait a minute.
I got to get my arms around this.

Speaker 23 This is a whole new concept

Speaker 143 that raising rates puts people out of work,

Speaker 23 makes it harder for them to put food on the table.

Speaker 121 It's a whole new concept.

Speaker 97 Give me 60 seconds to digest it because there's more coming.

Speaker 124 Car Shield.

Speaker 143 If you're pretty basic, you know, something you weren't expecting to go wrong with your car, it's going to go wrong.

Speaker 33 I mean, really cool kids have, you know, multiple things go wrong with their car.

Speaker 24 They bring it in, they're like, check engine.

Speaker 143 And then they get in, they're like, yeah, we checked the brakes, too.

Speaker 159 Oh, did you think?

Speaker 145 Thank you for that.

Speaker 51 And you wind up with a huge bill.

Speaker 72 Unless, of course, you have Car Shield.

Speaker 26 Car Shield offers affordable protection plans to fit every budget and covers more parts than ever before.

Speaker 32 I know because I have a couple of old dumpy trucks that I use at the farm and I don't ever want to pay another dime for them.

Speaker 37 I would like them, I don't care if they run on hamster power.

Speaker 17 I want them to run and me not have to fix them.

Speaker 36 and make costly repairs.

Speaker 141 But no, no, no,

Speaker 28 you can't do that anymore because you have to have all the latest computer chips and everything else in them.

Speaker 25 And when I say latest, I mean, you know, those computer chips that were out in 2010,

Speaker 25 which are almost collectors' items now, so they're very difficult to get a hold of.

Speaker 134 Car Shield has saved me thousands of dollars on my truck repairs.

Speaker 143 10 seconds, station ID.

Speaker 169 Okay,

Speaker 169 okay.

Speaker 31 All right. So hang on just a second.

Speaker 42 Hang on just a second.

Speaker 74 I want to make sure I understand this.

Speaker 166 So we're in a recession.

Speaker 141 Why?

Speaker 41 Because, or we could have a recession, according to Gerald Powell.

Speaker 35 Just as likely.

Speaker 3 Why?

Speaker 23 Because they're raising interest rates.

Speaker 91 Stu.

Speaker 44 Why are they raising interest rates?

Speaker 120 Because of inflation.

Speaker 115 Trying to get inflation under control.

Speaker 148 Getting inflation.

Speaker 168 What

Speaker 83 is the definition of inflation?

Speaker 105 Too many dollars chasing too few goods?

Speaker 72 Huh.

Speaker 72 So

Speaker 108 what is the real problem?

Speaker 51 We have too many dollars and we have too few goods.

Speaker 66 So, there's two things you can do there.

Speaker 3 Right.

Speaker 71 You can get people working to make more goods,

Speaker 64 or

Speaker 71 you can get rid of all of those dollars.

Speaker 133 Okay. The first thing you do, if you want to get rid of dollars, what's the first thing you do?

Speaker 140 Raise interest rates?

Speaker 98 No.

Speaker 93 No. No.

Speaker 133 The first thing you do.

Speaker 62 If

Speaker 171 your house is underwater because you had a faucet that just blew, a pipe that just blew, what would the first thing you would do?

Speaker 94 Turn off the water.

Speaker 126 You'd turn off the water.

Speaker 114 Stop printing money.

Speaker 20 You'd stop.

Speaker 20 Printing money.

Speaker 75 That's a great idea.

Speaker 47 So the first thing you would do...

Speaker 53 Now, I'm not a plumber,

Speaker 52 nor am I a printer,

Speaker 18 but I am a thinker.

Speaker 47 The first thing you would do is shut the printing press off.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 72 All right.

Speaker 51 Is our government doing that?

Speaker 3 No. No, no.

Speaker 107 What's the reverse of the government doing that?

Speaker 106 Right.

Speaker 57 They're doing more of it.

Speaker 59 Is he saying in here that

Speaker 20 should stop our out-of-control spending?

Speaker 53 He is not.

Speaker 63 No, he's not.

Speaker 125 No, he's not.

Speaker 126 Instead, he says we're going to cripple people.

Speaker 32 Now, I'm going to let you hear it from his own mouth, but there are other options.

Speaker 87 Again,

Speaker 57 you know, I don't have my degree, which would, I think, make me blind to all of the real solutions and the real problems.

Speaker 61 So I wear that as a badge of honor.

Speaker 54 But I don't have a degree in economics, but I think I have some solutions next.

Speaker 172 The Glen Beck program.

Speaker 59 Weather's heating up inside.

Speaker 6 Outside, time to pull the cover off the grill and get to work.

Speaker 160 And inflammation and inflation is

Speaker 23 about to turn the summer into a bummer.

Speaker 139 It is.

Speaker 153 It is.

Speaker 93 Yeah.

Speaker 164 Do that. Go to your grocery store.
Go to the butcher.

Speaker 63 Hey, if I buy this meat now.

Speaker 20 And I'm going to buy this meat from you all the time.

Speaker 126 Will you lock in my price?

Speaker 174 No.

Speaker 57 No.

Speaker 65 Mm-mm.

Speaker 61 No, they'll take a cleaver to your hand before they do that.

Speaker 116 You can.

Speaker 61 Think of the the money we're saving.

Speaker 105 You got to use the promo code GLEN.

Speaker 163 But what we're going to find is that growth in 2022 was

Speaker 163 positive, but modest. It was subdued.
So, you know, 1%

Speaker 163 around that level.

Speaker 163 In terms of this year, most forecasts call for the U.S. economy to continue to grow, but at a pretty subdued level.
So growth of less than 1%, let's say.

Speaker 163 But we would tell you that a recession is almost as likely

Speaker 163 as very slow growth.

Speaker 176 So

Speaker 163 that's a fact. And I think that is partly because of

Speaker 163 us having raised rates quite a bit. But this is what it takes to get inflation down.

Speaker 163 To get inflation off of the high, we've had inflation at its highest level in 40 years.

Speaker 163 To get inflation to come down, what we need is a period of slower growth so that the economy can cool off, so the labor market can cool off,

Speaker 163 so that wages can cool off. And so that that's how inflation comes down.
That's the only way we know to bring inflation down.

Speaker 93 No, it's not.

Speaker 163 And it can be painful, but there is, we don't know of any painful way, painless way

Speaker 163 for inflation to come down.

Speaker 23 Okay, so first of all, let me ask you something.

Speaker 109 How are these guys?

Speaker 21 I mean, what is Vladimir, you know, the fake Vladimir saying

Speaker 23 to get into these conversations and to have...

Speaker 15 Does he just calling the central banks and like, listen, it's Vladimir Ivantanos, like, tell me stuff that you will not tell your own people?

Speaker 23 Yes, I'm just calling for confidential information that you want to keep on the QT as we set up a new world government.

Speaker 50 What is what?

Speaker 118 How?

Speaker 20 What is he asking?

Speaker 20 What are they expecting to get on the phone?

Speaker 54 Yes,

Speaker 15 just central bank.

Speaker 71 I just want to know.

Speaker 9 I know you're not my central bank.

Speaker 22 I have nothing to do with you, but I want to know what is your plan?

Speaker 124 What are they saying to get on the phone with these people?

Speaker 105 It's incredible that they keep falling for it.

Speaker 111 And this is, we've been talking a lot about AI.

Speaker 107 This is just the beginning of this.

Speaker 147 Every single one of these people is going to fall for one of these calls.

Speaker 178 It's crazy.

Speaker 59 Right?

Speaker 51 I mean, it's great.

Speaker 59 I mean, because, I mean, it'll expose.

Speaker 70 No, it'll expose things.

Speaker 150 Great's not the word I would use for this.

Speaker 70 Well, no, I think it's great because it'll expose things and then nobody will do anything about it.

Speaker 3 Which is a total joke.

Speaker 93 That kind of great. Now, listen.

Speaker 178 So he says

Speaker 48 it's an equal chance

Speaker 15 that we're going into a recession, and that's a fact.

Speaker 125 Have you heard that fact said to the American people?

Speaker 150 Not from him no not from not from anyone in the government from him okay so uh we have 40-year highs of inflation pretty bad that's a fact

Speaker 80 um so the only way to do it is to slow growth slow down labor and and slow down wages so let me get this right Let me use regular fightful spike.

Speaker 142 I'm sitting there not having a Bud Light at the end of the bar.

Speaker 20 And his hoity-toity guy comes to me and he says, Well, we got to slow growth.

Speaker 15 We got to slow down labor and wages.

Speaker 22 Now, I think what he's saying here in bar talk

Speaker 157 is he's going to throw a wrench into our economy.

Speaker 20 And then he's going to get a bunch of us fired.

Speaker 20 And then the rest of us are going to have sucky wages.

Speaker 70 wages because that's the only

Speaker 103 way out.

Speaker 51 Really? No.

Speaker 33 Here's another idea.

Speaker 28 You could

Speaker 71 tell people

Speaker 20 to get their ass off the couch and go back to work because this sugar daddy teat off of Uncle Sam ain't giving you any more milk.

Speaker 90 How about that one?

Speaker 57 That one. That would be good.

Speaker 180 We could have a return of labor, which if labor returns and we don't have to pay, you know, in blood

Speaker 93 for all that labor, maybe,

Speaker 51 maybe we could make more products.

Speaker 77 Then we could also just shut the printing press off for the United States government.

Speaker 39 He's saying the only way, the only thing we can do is screw the American people.

Speaker 77 That's what he's saying.

Speaker 66 The only thing we can do is hurt the American people because they don't matter anyway.

Speaker 171 We, I mean, the last thing we want to do is piss off Congress.

Speaker 74 We don't want to piss off the Senate.

Speaker 158 And besides, we're all in it.

Speaker 5 Because remember, I'm the head of the Federal Reserve Bank, a wholly owned private company

Speaker 20 made up of, well, dare I say it, banks like JP Morgan Chase.

Speaker 51 Am I the only one?

Speaker 33 It's like I'm standing in a, I feel like I'm standing in a crowd and everybody is going, wow, this is fantastic.

Speaker 178 And I'm like, wait, no, but he's,

Speaker 97 no, he's saying he's going to put you out of business and he's going to hurt your, I know.

Speaker 83 But he's really got it under control.

Speaker 20 No, he's the guy who caused all of these problems.

Speaker 8 I know, but look at his hair, right?

Speaker 135 And he's on the phone with Vladimir Zelensky.

Speaker 125 That guy's great.

Speaker 30 No, no, I think he's a criminal, too.

Speaker 7 What a conspiracy theorist.

Speaker 50 I just feel like I'm standing in a crowd going, would somebody wake up?

Speaker 106 And you're not even seemingly that worried in the fact that a fake Vladimir Zelensky can get on the phone with Jerome Powell on a video call somehow with AI, which is right around the corner where we are now, you know, we talked to a woman who had not a famous person like Vladimir Zelensky, but

Speaker 99 her daughter, who had like five sentences spoken on the internet, converted into a hostage tape.

Speaker 106 We're on the corner of basically any voice being on the phone, and you're not going to know if it's real or not.

Speaker 113 And

Speaker 170 this is what we're dealing with.

Speaker 128 Not even our federal government can

Speaker 129 sift through this.

Speaker 115 What happens, Glenn, when someone makes a legitimate, seemingly sounding, credible threat of nuclear attack?

Speaker 3 What do you mean?

Speaker 182 Like, Vladimir Putin calls up.

Speaker 158 Vladimir Putin, we've got Vladimir Zelensky on the phone.

Speaker 58 Really?

Speaker 65 Is it the real one?

Speaker 48 Yes, he said he was.

Speaker 76 Right. What happens when one of our idiotic government officials falls for something like that?

Speaker 115 I mean, that's going to happen, maybe not to us, but somewhere.

Speaker 171 Certainly, this is, we are, man, we are so screwed.

Speaker 139 We are so screwed.

Speaker 105 That's why I keep getting every one of the ending of the conversations I have about these topics are just like, ah, we're so screwed.

Speaker 9 That's how it was at. Oh, no, no.

Speaker 83 You got to end it differently now.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 166 Instead of saying, I'm so screwed or we're so screwed, you say this.

Speaker 23 Wow, it's going to be an interesting time.

Speaker 176 I mean, it's going to be really interesting.

Speaker 36 I'll be fascinated to see how this is all going to work out.

Speaker 120 Is this some sort of,

Speaker 106 why would I say that?

Speaker 171 It makes you feel better about it.

Speaker 176 Yeah, it makes you feel a little better.

Speaker 111 It makes it, it makes it, yeah.

Speaker 129 it's like you're a disinterested onlooker.

Speaker 133 You're like, yeah, you know, because really, in some ways, you are.

Speaker 125 It's up to Jesus now.

Speaker 41 There's not much you can do.

Speaker 143 No, and so, I mean, we got to do our part, you know.

Speaker 6 But when Jesus comes, it'll be like, wow, that powell cat.

Speaker 128 That was an interesting

Speaker 97 thing to play out.

Speaker 125 I can't wait to see how that works when he's standing at the foot of Jesus.

Speaker 132 I don't think well, but who knows?

Speaker 31 I'm not here to judge. It'll be fascinated to watch it.

Speaker 76 Yeah.

Speaker 3 You know, to see what I'm doing.

Speaker 74 I'm not here to judge.

Speaker 143 I mean, I'm here to point out the guy is a stinking liar. And now that a fake Vladimir Zelensky

Speaker 72 bot

Speaker 5 talked to him on the phone, we now have the evidence.

Speaker 23 You know, instead of it, a conspiracy theory, we now know.

Speaker 162 Unless.

Speaker 91 It was the real Vladimir Zelensky and Jerome Powell was the AI.

Speaker 124 Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Speaker 105 I like this new approach of yours.

Speaker 66 Because, I mean, I think, think about this, like, you know, you're watching Breaking Bad.

Speaker 114 His entire life is falling apart around him.

Speaker 129 His potential drug empire is, he may go to prison.

Speaker 170 He may be shot.

Speaker 115 He may be killed.

Speaker 118 And that whole time,

Speaker 94 it's pretty interesting to watch.

Speaker 144 I wonder what's going to happen.

Speaker 65 Like, that's how I reacted to that.

Speaker 73 Exactly right.

Speaker 183 What if I do that with real life?

Speaker 74 Okay, so I was just watching, my son wanted to watch Valkyrie with me.

Speaker 157 Oh, okay. Classic.

Speaker 112 Classic.

Speaker 143 I love that. Okay.

Speaker 15 So we watch Valkyrie together.

Speaker 19 And

Speaker 15 the general is,

Speaker 28 you know, he's like, I don't know.

Speaker 6 Is Hitler dead?

Speaker 19 And

Speaker 4 I'm at the couch and I'm like, who cares if he's dead?

Speaker 60 Move. Yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 23 And I said to my son, I have to get up. I have to get up.

Speaker 23 You know those movies?

Speaker 28 And sometimes you get into that place where you're like, I can't watch this.

Speaker 31 I can't watch this. And you're like, it's a show.

Speaker 76 It's a show.

Speaker 25 That's the way you have to be.

Speaker 71 We've been walking around our our couch going, I can't watch this.

Speaker 42 I can't watch this.

Speaker 8 Oh my gosh, these people are so stupid.

Speaker 108 I can't watch this.

Speaker 65 Yeah.

Speaker 145 Just watch it. Yeah.
Watch it.

Speaker 148 Just watch it.

Speaker 105 This is going to be really interesting to see how this plays out.

Speaker 74 I bet I know how this ends.

Speaker 102 Yeah.

Speaker 74 Bet I know how this ends.

Speaker 33 Because that's the thing that we really have to start doing.

Speaker 14 You know how you're like,

Speaker 3 yeah,

Speaker 55 the kid wasn't seeing, the kid wasn't seeing

Speaker 28 just dead people.

Speaker 125 Bruce Willis is dead too.

Speaker 95 Let's be spoilers.

Speaker 57 You know what I mean? Yeah.

Speaker 75 Let's be.

Speaker 171 Everybody's like, I can't wait to see how that turns out.

Speaker 3 I know how it turns out.

Speaker 72 Okay.

Speaker 91 I'm going to spoil it for you.

Speaker 90 It's disturbing.

Speaker 128 It's disturbing of a way to go through life, but I think it's going to be better.

Speaker 183 I think this new

Speaker 177 non-attached, like just disassociated approach to life will make regular life that much better.

Speaker 96 That much better.

Speaker 23 Now, that doesn't mean I don't take it seriously.

Speaker 9 You know, I certainly take it seriously.

Speaker 139 I took Breaking Bad seriously.

Speaker 144 I was very interested in what would happen.

Speaker 114 I just didn't.

Speaker 54 Since I'm guessing the ending,

Speaker 51 I'm not going to be in the one in the movie theater going, oh my God.

Speaker 93 I'll be there going, yeah, I know, I know.

Speaker 59 Crazy, isn't it?

Speaker 160 By the way, I've got everything packed in my camper.

Speaker 72 Bye-bye.

Speaker 101 Including your Valkyrie DVD, which I will say, by the way, Valkyrie comes on TV, got to watch it.

Speaker 22 Got to watch it.

Speaker 183 I can't not watch it.

Speaker 151 If it comes on, I have to watch it.

Speaker 147 It's one of those movies.

Speaker 181 Every time it pops up, I'm going through the channels and I see Valkyrie.

Speaker 145 That's where I go.

Speaker 63 And I think it was the first movie made with when somebody who had a hand is missing a hand. And the CGI, just the hand and the eye, great stuff.

Speaker 74 Really?

Speaker 93 Yeah.

Speaker 143 You know, he'll pop his eye out.

Speaker 15 He'll turn his back and you'll see him grab the glass eye and he's like,

Speaker 143 and he puts his eye back in.

Speaker 171 And then you're like, it's not the same color.

Speaker 41 Did you notice that?

Speaker 83 Not the same color.

Speaker 29 That's the kind of stuff that led us to this Vladimir Zielinski call.

Speaker 143 All right, back in just a second.

Speaker 51 You take a moment every now and then, peek out of the blinds and go, gee, how's this movie going to end?

Speaker 142 You might want to ready the camper.

Speaker 63 I'm just saying.

Speaker 23 Because there's going to be, it'll be like, at the end of this movie, it'll be like fire.

Speaker 21 And everybody will stampede each other, but you will be driving away in your camper.

Speaker 31 Okay? Because you're prepared.

Speaker 97 You know how this ends.

Speaker 23 Get your three-month emergency food kit, which will last 25 years in storage.

Speaker 91 25 years.

Speaker 27 Oh, that's hopeful thinking.

Speaker 23 Three-month emergency food kit.

Speaker 160 You can get it now.

Speaker 136 And survival gear.

Speaker 26 They've got about $200 worth of survival gear that goes with each box.

Speaker 40 You're going to get that free.

Speaker 173 at mypatriotsupply.com right now.

Speaker 77 You also get free shipping, and it comes in unmarked boxes.

Speaker 134 I'm having them mark mine

Speaker 24 trans literature because I know that will be delivered.

Speaker 6 Now, I'll have to pick it up at the school, but I know I'll get it.

Speaker 154 Emergency food right now and survival gear worth over $200.

Speaker 173 MyPatriotSupply.com.

Speaker 28 That's mypatriotsupply.com.

Speaker 172 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 57 Ow. Welcome to the program.

Speaker 80 So there was some leaked footage

Speaker 4 from Fox News.

Speaker 115 Yeah. Someone did it.

Speaker 114 I'll tell you that.

Speaker 24 Yeah, someone did do it. Yeah.

Speaker 15 But definitely not anybody in the PR department of Fox News.

Speaker 57 No, absolutely.

Speaker 76 They wouldn't do that now.

Speaker 67 Why would they do that, Stu?

Speaker 49 It's hurting their own product.

Speaker 118 Right.

Speaker 105 Because Tucker was taking some shots at Fox Nation saying he didn't like the way the website worked.

Speaker 113 While he was there.

Speaker 100 While he was there.

Speaker 165 And then some, I guess, international spy broke in and took the footage from inside of Fox News from one of their cameras and leaked it to Media Matters, an organization which they supposedly have a bad relationship with, you know?

Speaker 171 Boy, they wouldn't be able to do it.

Speaker 50 Because they wouldn't.

Speaker 177 Media Matters is one of these places that takes shots at Fox News.

Speaker 115 It's almost, some would say it almost sounds like they just almost worked together to try to sync personality.

Speaker 19 I'm not sinking.

Speaker 73 No, no, of course not.

Speaker 90 It would be crazy.

Speaker 46 Crazy.

Speaker 121 Crazy.

Speaker 78 You know what?

Speaker 105 So it'll be interesting to see how that plays out. Yeah.

Speaker 183 It is. It's going to be interesting.
It's going to be interesting.

Speaker 93 And I think they're all going to find out. I think they're all going to find out.

Speaker 75 So this is the bad stuff that was just somehow or another leaked, but definitely not from Fox News.

Speaker 82 No.

Speaker 71 This is Tucker Carlson at his worst.

Speaker 154 At his worst. You're going to hate him.

Speaker 17 You're going to hate him.

Speaker 3 Oh, man.

Speaker 144 Listen to this.

Speaker 3 You have it?

Speaker 57 What do you mean we don't have it?

Speaker 68 Were we not on the leak list? No, man.

Speaker 51 Were we really not on the leak list?

Speaker 145 All right. Okay.

Speaker 3 Well, here.

Speaker 76 I played it last year, right?

Speaker 87 Here it is.

Speaker 185 Here we go.

Speaker 33 Is my computer open?

Speaker 44 Here it is.

Speaker 186 I don't want to be a slave to Fox Nation, which I don't think that many people watch anyway.

Speaker 186 We're going to, because

Speaker 186 I'm like a representative of the American media now.

Speaker 186 Speaking to an exile in Romania and welcoming him back into the brotherhood of journalists.

Speaker 187 Like he was panicking about it and said, you don't have to. Tucker's going to be looking casual.

Speaker 72 That's how our show looks.

Speaker 72 Is that okay?

Speaker 186 I mean, this is airing on the nighttime show, and I want it to look official. I don't want it to be like bro talk.

Speaker 186 You know what I mean?

Speaker 187 Yeah, but the majority of it, like if we go like 45 minutes, it's going to be for Fox Nation.

Speaker 186 But nobody's going to watch it on Fox Nation. Nobody watches Fox Nation because the site sucks.
So I'd really like to just put the dump the whole thing on YouTube.

Speaker 186 But anyway, that's just my view.

Speaker 175 I'm just frustrated with the,

Speaker 186 it's hard to use that site. I don't know why they're not fixing it.
It's driving me insane. And they're like making like lifetime movies, but they don't work on the infrastructure of the site.

Speaker 164 Like what?

Speaker 186 It's crazy, and it drives me crazy because it's like we're doing all this extra work and no one can find it. It's unbelievable, actually.

Speaker 72 I don't know who runs it.

Speaker 115 So I don't even understand why this is supposed to be negative.

Speaker 126 Why is this negative on him?

Speaker 19 This is not negative on him at all.

Speaker 115 I mean, he's obviously frustrated, but he's still being respectful, and he doesn't want to do it.

Speaker 159 I mean, he's right.

Speaker 165 His audience is 50 times, 100 times the size on the television show.

Speaker 115 That should be the priority.

Speaker 61 Hey, listen, we just want you guys to...

Speaker 16 You should wear a sweater.

Speaker 3 Shut up about what I'm wearing.

Speaker 172 Good heaven. Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 133 There are so many American giants amongst us.

Speaker 41 One of them them is our mothers.

Speaker 168 So much. Are you calling my mom fat, Stu?

Speaker 97 Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 87 I didn't even say anything.

Speaker 75 Gosh, I heard it. I heard it.
Did you hear it, America?

Speaker 32 So much of the goodness in all of us comes from our mothers.

Speaker 98 I didn't say anything, but I will say this.

Speaker 115 I am wearing an American Giant hoodie right now.

Speaker 162 They're great, aren't they? Awesome.

Speaker 23 I love these things.

Speaker 111 These were, look at the zipper on that thing.

Speaker 106 Oh, it's like, it's just like all real. You could tell the quality of it the second you put it.

Speaker 76 Because I have a lot of hoodies.

Speaker 105 You could tell the difference in quality with this thing.

Speaker 45 It's awesome.

Speaker 82 So, American giant uh they've got a bunch of great clothing and mom is uh mother's day is right around the corner she's got 15 seconds she's got needs okay she has needs maybe it's a hoodie maybe it's a new blouse i don't know but check out american giant go to american dash giant.com slash glenn that's american dash giant.com slash glenn

Speaker 189 It's a new day, I'm tired to rise.

Speaker 172 What you're about to hear

Speaker 172 is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 172 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 22 Hello, America.

Speaker 19 I.

Speaker 57 I'm gonna.

Speaker 57 I've got a...

Speaker 66 Well, I'm gonna lead with a story about the sex change clinic in Philadelphia and the information they're providing students.

Speaker 17 But I...

Speaker 51 You're gonna think I'm making part of it up, but I...

Speaker 58 In this world, you can't.

Speaker 34 I mean, you can't write comedy anymore because it writes itself.

Speaker 61 We begin there in 60 seconds.

Speaker 57 When you go to the gun range, you mean business.

Speaker 34 I mean it is fun blowing holes in paper targets but the cost of ammunition every time every time I pull the trigger I'm like ow that one hurts.

Speaker 22 Ow that one hurts.

Speaker 69 Training yourself to become better and better every shot you take is really important.

Speaker 61 You have to have the ability to defend yourself and your family should you ever need to do that.

Speaker 34 But whose money is

Speaker 35 going to be used to just pay for the ammunition, let alone a coach.

Speaker 34 You don't have to use ammunition and you don't have to use a coach. You can use ammunition if you want with Mantis X, but you don't have to.

Speaker 35 And this is not target practice per se. It doesn't give you a target.

Speaker 34 You can aim at, you know, if I'm sitting here in the room, I can aim at the clock or the TV or the camera or.

Speaker 19 Well, I wouldn't aim it.

Speaker 74 Well, I don't want to say I wouldn't aim it.

Speaker 55 I wouldn't aim it Stu, okay?

Speaker 69 And

Speaker 29 with Mantis X,

Speaker 35 every time you pull that trigger, whether it's loaded or unloaded, it tracks exactly what your hand and your finger is doing.

Speaker 59 So you improve within 20 minutes.

Speaker 40 And I can verify it.

Speaker 37 I can't believe how much more accurate I was after 20 minutes.

Speaker 49 Start improving today.

Speaker 158 Use mantisx.com.

Speaker 55 Save money, save ammunition, and get better.

Speaker 90 Mantisx.com.

Speaker 152 So,

Speaker 81 Stu.

Speaker 140 Yes, go ahead.

Speaker 6 The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Speaker 6 The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Speaker 94 Helping children.

Speaker 6 That's what the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia does.

Speaker 100 What else would it do?

Speaker 143 Well, they've got a gender clinic that also offers medical interventions for kids as young as eight.

Speaker 31 In addition to the clinic providing children with devastating puberty blockers, they also have previously advocated for confused little girls to have their healthy breasts cut off

Speaker 12 and for other varieties of mutilation.

Speaker 13 In recent years, the clinic has gone beyond exploiting and making things worse with the insecurities of minors.

Speaker 160 They're now training elementary teachers to do likewise.

Speaker 160 Now, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Speaker 164 I'm just

Speaker 55 reading what the news is saying.

Speaker 133 And as I'm reading it, I'm thinking the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia should not use this acronym when we're talking about gender mutilation.

Speaker 6 The Children's Hospital

Speaker 63 of Philadelphia, otherwise known as CHOP.

Speaker 120 That's suboptimal, Clinic.

Speaker 93 Suboptimal.

Speaker 171 Suboptimal.

Speaker 65 The CHOP

Speaker 48 Gender Clinic

Speaker 4 provides guidance to educators in Pennsylvania and Council Rock school districts in 2019 and 2021 on how to facilitate kids as young as kindergartners changing their gender, according to a new report

Speaker 87 on

Speaker 65 CHOP.

Speaker 50 You know,

Speaker 81 again,

Speaker 63 well, actually, I am a doctor.

Speaker 74 And so I can say it.

Speaker 11 I can say it with great authority.

Speaker 62 If you really, you want to be taken seriously

Speaker 15 and you want to be known as a non-butchering hospital, which you clearly are with a gender mutilation here,

Speaker 31 you might want to stay away from the acronym of CHOP.

Speaker 115 Same. It does seem like a bad decision.

Speaker 49 A little bit.

Speaker 57 A little bit.

Speaker 3 Now,

Speaker 66 I just, I want to understand the bigotry here.

Speaker 41 I do.

Speaker 66 I want to understand the bigotry.

Speaker 71 There is a Delaware County Councilman, Ryan Webb,

Speaker 55 and

Speaker 23 he's redefining his own life.

Speaker 32 He's coloring outside the lines.

Speaker 74 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 171 He has announced on Facebook, after much consideration, I have decided to come out and finally feel comfortable announcing my true authentic self.

Speaker 131 It is with great relief that I announce to everyone that I identify as a woman

Speaker 167 and not just any woman,

Speaker 134 but a woman of color as well.

Speaker 162 Furthermore,

Speaker 66 I guess this would make me gay and lesbian since I am attracted to women.

Speaker 143 But I'm excited to bring some diversity diversity to the city council or the county council.

Speaker 103 Until today, we didn't have any females of color or LGBTQIAPC plus on the council.

Speaker 13 And now, wait, what were the letters?

Speaker 3 We do.

Speaker 103 LGBTQIAPC plus.

Speaker 107 Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

Speaker 97 Because I feel bad because I always just say LGBTQQIA2 plus.

Speaker 94 Yeah.

Speaker 73 What's a C?

Speaker 28 Maybe it should be

Speaker 103 LGBTQIIA P-O-C plus.

Speaker 90 Not sure.

Speaker 129 Because it was P. Because what's the P?

Speaker 128 I don't know what a P, what's the P?

Speaker 82 What's the P?

Speaker 78 This is fascinating.

Speaker 128 Wait, there's more accurate.

Speaker 19 It could very well be that.

Speaker 9 Maybe it's just pansexual.

Speaker 76 Okay, we're getting pansexual.

Speaker 158 Pansexual.

Speaker 124 What's the C?

Speaker 149 Don't say it.

Speaker 9 Don't say the C word.

Speaker 87 Don't say the C word.

Speaker 73 That's always a good lesson.

Speaker 22 All right, anyway.

Speaker 83 So to avoid confusion, everyone can still address me as Ryan Ryan or as Councilman Webb.

Speaker 45 I also retain my preferred pronouns of he slash him.

Speaker 15 However, this will in no way diminish my true identity as a woman of color.

Speaker 103 I'm excited to be a vocal partner of the LGBTQIAPC plus movement.

Speaker 188 PC?

Speaker 139 What's this?

Speaker 51 I'm not down with it, Holmes.

Speaker 17 Holmes.

Speaker 120 Should I ask ChatGPT?

Speaker 145 Yeah, ask ChatGPT.

Speaker 106 ChatGPT. What is the C

Speaker 113 in LGBTQ

Speaker 3 I

Speaker 3 A

Speaker 92 P C C plus?

Speaker 65 Okay. Okay.

Speaker 120 Chat GPT is thinking.

Speaker 23 Okay, he's finally says.

Speaker 97 Chat GPT is disgusted.

Speaker 156 No, cisgender.

Speaker 112 That's us.

Speaker 113 The boring ones.

Speaker 3 We got a letter. Wow, we got a letter.

Speaker 108 I don't think that's an official letter.

Speaker 145 No, that can't be.

Speaker 36 I don't think that's an official letter.

Speaker 120 They say ChatGPT says the C stands for cisgender, cisgender, and that's a term to describe individuals who gender identity matches their sex assigned at birth.

Speaker 78 Oh, it's doing the whole thing for me. Here we go.

Speaker 181 Lesbian K bisexuality.

Speaker 22 Wouldn't be N. What?

Speaker 51 Wouldn't that be N?

Speaker 72 No.

Speaker 11 I hate to use the N word.

Speaker 76 Don't use the N-word on the air.

Speaker 113 Don't use the N-word on the air.

Speaker 100 I know that's something that I'm saying.

Speaker 144 Oh, I don't want to say it.

Speaker 71 Okay, turn off your microphone.

Speaker 143 I just want to check.

Speaker 3 Normal.

Speaker 7 Oh, geez. No, I had to.

Speaker 18 I'm sorry, hang on. That came through.

Speaker 146 People could hear it.

Speaker 101 Dump that. Normal.

Speaker 74 Dump Dump that. What do you think? Is that the end?

Speaker 87 Is that the end?

Speaker 3 I don't know.

Speaker 57 I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 93 I don't know.

Speaker 156 Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning, which again is two separate cues.

Speaker 94 That's why you have LGBTQQ.

Speaker 64 Then you have I intersex, A, asexual, or ally, which is a real, I mean, you're really reaching there.

Speaker 64 Then P is now pansexual or polyamorous,

Speaker 120 and C is cisgender.

Speaker 117 the plus sign represents other identities that may not explicitly be included in the acronym, such as demisexual, genderqueer, gender fluid, and others.

Speaker 100 It emphasizes inclusivity, acknowledges the diversity within the community.

Speaker 3 That is great.

Speaker 181 Why not call it the plus community then?

Speaker 113 Why do you need the other ones if you have a plus?

Speaker 156 Plus is getting everything.

Speaker 159 Just call it the plus community.

Speaker 20 Stop your bigoted language. I am trying to tell you about Delaware County Councilman Ryan Webb, who is now a black woman.

Speaker 155 Now, is he a woman of color?

Speaker 15 Is he a white man in reality?

Speaker 3 In reality?

Speaker 22 Oh, no.

Speaker 57 I've done it. I'm not going to say that.

Speaker 76 I'm not going to dead name him.

Speaker 174 He is. Sorry, in the past.

Speaker 115 That's what I meant to say. In the reality of the past.

Speaker 44 I don't know there is any reality of the past.

Speaker 34 Was he at one point a white male?

Speaker 75 Yes.

Speaker 29 So now he's now

Speaker 29 changed.

Speaker 158 A woman of color that is also a lesbian.

Speaker 105 Can I have a moment that you've had many times on the air in which it goes back to the Monica Lewinsky days when you said we were having the argument with the left and they were saying, oh, he didn't do that with Monica Lewinsky.

Speaker 107 And we were saying, well, I think he did.

Speaker 115 And they say, well, no, he didn't.

Speaker 171 And we say, yes, he did. No, he didn't.
Yes, he did.

Speaker 119 And we go back and forth.

Speaker 115 And you said at the time, what we needed to ask was, let's say he did do it.

Speaker 76 Will it be wrong?

Speaker 118 Does it matter?

Speaker 93 Does it matter?

Speaker 53 Does it matter?

Speaker 115 Does it matter if he did do it?

Speaker 76 Let's not argue about whether he did it. Right.

Speaker 159 If he did do it, does it matter?

Speaker 111 That's a good question.

Speaker 115 Because what wound up happening is he did do it, and then they acted like it didn't matter.

Speaker 20 After arguing for six months, that he definitely didn't do it.

Speaker 50 Right.

Speaker 147 So let me ask you this.

Speaker 115 Can we have one of these moments here together?

Speaker 148 Okay. As a family.
Together.

Speaker 87 Okay. We're a family.

Speaker 138 Should we hold hands?

Speaker 93 We're not a family.

Speaker 3 No, I'd rather not be afraid of a moment. Okay, I'd rather have enough physical contact.

Speaker 159 Look, you might say

Speaker 113 Dylan Mulvaney is a woman.

Speaker 90 Okay?

Speaker 115 You might say that. You might say that.

Speaker 181 I'm talking to the people on the other side of this. Yeah.
We might say, hey, no, it's a dude.

Speaker 115 Right. And you're saying, no, it's a chick.

Speaker 157 Right.

Speaker 115 No, it's a dude. It's a chick.
It's a dude. It's a chick.

Speaker 147 My thing here is, though,

Speaker 113 when,

Speaker 76 when, yeah, don't argue whether this is going to happen.

Speaker 78 Right.

Speaker 3 But when

Speaker 115 Dylan Mulvaney comes out, not just as a woman, but as a teenage girl,

Speaker 159 When he announces he is a teenage girl, are you going to accept it? Answer before he says it, because it's coming, but answer before he says it.

Speaker 111 Is he a teenager?

Speaker 102 Yes.

Speaker 94 Yes. Yes, he is.

Speaker 181 Do you think they're going to say yes?

Speaker 73 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 159 Because I think now before he says it, they'll say, of course, he's not going to do that.

Speaker 120 That's ridiculous.

Speaker 139 Of course, that's absurd.

Speaker 121 That's ridiculous.

Speaker 90 That's not ridiculous.

Speaker 30 That's one of the more sane things that's happened in the media.

Speaker 21 When it happens, it'll be like, well, that makes sense.

Speaker 20 They will accept it.

Speaker 48 He's like, girl power. Hi, girl power.

Speaker 93 Because he's acting as if he's a teenage girl.

Speaker 141 He's not a woman.

Speaker 64 He's a girl.

Speaker 23 That's what he always says. I'm a girl.

Speaker 93 Right.

Speaker 181 And at some point, he will manufacture a new age.

Speaker 159 Will you accept it?

Speaker 51 I want to know now.

Speaker 128 Not then, when all of a sudden you say it's hateful.

Speaker 51 I want to know now.

Speaker 159 Do you accept his 13-year-old age? Do you accept you will?

Speaker 30 Age is nothing but a construct.

Speaker 120 It's so, this is so bad. This is so, we are so screwed.

Speaker 145 Can I go, please?

Speaker 177 Can you ask ChatGBT a way to get out of this?

Speaker 18 Can I please tell you about the glass ceiling that Ryan Webb is just?

Speaker 87 I'm sorry, you're right.

Speaker 113 We're back on the Ryan Webb thing, which is

Speaker 100 their name is still Ryan.

Speaker 59 Still Ryan.

Speaker 29 And he identifies as him, her.

Speaker 128 Him, her, okay. Okay.
Wait, him, her, both?

Speaker 54 No, I'm sorry, him, he.

Speaker 93 Wait, that's even more confusing.

Speaker 87 Yeah, all right.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 77 And

Speaker 83 his message was,

Speaker 171 I am so glad that this is now possible.

Speaker 152 So

Speaker 24 anyone can be anything or anyone they want.

Speaker 15 Who knows how far we can take things?

Speaker 66 I'm honored to be the one that shatters the glass ceiling.

Speaker 96 Hashtag girl power.

Speaker 141 Now,

Speaker 111 there is

Speaker 70 someone also on

Speaker 65 the council,

Speaker 83 Charlize, Charlene Jaminson.

Speaker 15 Now, Charlize

Speaker 15 is a biological male,

Speaker 23 but she was reading this and she said, I think

Speaker 122 He's making fun

Speaker 45 of

Speaker 108 this whole situation.

Speaker 169 And

Speaker 11 she said he has a history of making transphobic comments,

Speaker 9 which I don't know.

Speaker 11 And she said, it's easy for me to see through his bigotry.

Speaker 107 Oh, wow. So they don't believe

Speaker 129 his identification?

Speaker 3 No. Wait a minute.

Speaker 98 But the only thing required is for him to say it.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Oh, Charlize is a beautiful woman.

Speaker 17 Look at her.

Speaker 87 Look at her.

Speaker 11 There she is.

Speaker 125 That's Charlize.

Speaker 121 Yeah, she looks great.

Speaker 13 And she is one

Speaker 17 good-looking woman.

Speaker 3 There you go.

Speaker 77 I've seen worse. I've seen worse.
For sure.

Speaker 17 You know, men that are pretending to be women.

Speaker 20 But as a guy goes, she's a good-looking woman.

Speaker 17 There you go.

Speaker 87 You know,

Speaker 120 so you think potentially.

Speaker 103 So, yeah. So, Charlie, she has a spider sense.

Speaker 33 She knows.

Speaker 23 And I think what he's saying is

Speaker 25 this is ridiculously stupid.

Speaker 130 And go ahead.

Speaker 21 Go ahead.

Speaker 55 Deny me my moment.

Speaker 51 How can you deny me my moment if whatever I say has got to go?

Speaker 18 And you're questioning his internal journey?

Speaker 94 Like, you're not allowed to do that.

Speaker 90 A men.

Speaker 100 My understanding was the only time you were able to deny someone saying they were LGBTQQIA2 plus is when they commit a mass shooting.

Speaker 93 Then immediately you can say, Oh, we don't, they're not real.

Speaker 57 They're not real in this community.

Speaker 177 They're not really transgender.

Speaker 156 You're allowed to say it then, but I thought that was the only time.

Speaker 20 So far, we don't know if Ryan, he might have killed some children.

Speaker 15 Okay. He might have killed some children.

Speaker 23 Then we can question it.

Speaker 15 Until then, we cannot question it.

Speaker 54 Now, I do have one more question on this topic.

Speaker 33 And a friend of mine gave it to me yesterday and said, and I thought,

Speaker 134 I've not thought that.

Speaker 51 I have not had

Speaker 132 that

Speaker 70 question

Speaker 56 posed to me. Wow.

Speaker 72 Not her.

Speaker 146 There's been a lot of questions.

Speaker 49 There's been a lot of questions.

Speaker 59 I mean, there's a cue.

Speaker 181 There's two cues.

Speaker 20 There's two cues.

Speaker 109 Okay.

Speaker 125 I was bigoted.

Speaker 23 Bigoted. Didn't question.

Speaker 56 I'm going to.

Speaker 15 And I think you're going to like it.

Speaker 48 And if you're a parent at a school that is doing drag shows,

Speaker 15 I think you're really going to like this question.

Speaker 72 Okay.

Speaker 3 All right.

Speaker 29 We'll do that in 60 seconds. Wow.

Speaker 143 No matter how smart your dog is, I promise you, he isn't smart enough to make a healthy salad.

Speaker 95 He's not.

Speaker 23 And it's not the opposable thumbs thing.

Speaker 79 No, it's not.

Speaker 83 He can't make a salad.

Speaker 11 They'll sniff at salads and they'll be like, ick.

Speaker 23 But you know inside he wants a salad.

Speaker 166 Who wants a salad?

Speaker 23 Say that to your dog right now.

Speaker 143 Get your dog next to the radio.

Speaker 166 Let me just say, who who wants a salad?

Speaker 190 You want a salad? You want a salad? You're a salad-eating dog.

Speaker 109 Look at his tail, go.

Speaker 125 Now he's either stupid, which he's not,

Speaker 63 or he knows that I should be eating a salad.

Speaker 106 But we have to trick them.

Speaker 131 So that's why we have rough greens.

Speaker 27 Rough greens.

Speaker 48 It's like a salad for people who claim to hate salads.

Speaker 15 My wife sprinkles it on my food, but that's a different story.

Speaker 23 Roughgreens, R-U-F-F greens.com slash Beck.

Speaker 26 It's good for your dog. Get your first bag free.

Speaker 23 All you pay for is shipping.

Speaker 8 Roughgreens.com slash

Speaker 27 roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833 Glenn33.

Speaker 74 I swear to you, I'm turning into Joe Biden.

Speaker 17 There's a

Speaker 27 any minute I could pee myself and just wander away from the microphone.

Speaker 23 Anyway, 833 Glenn33.

Speaker 34 So that's really no change.

Speaker 18 No, pretty much.

Speaker 38 833 Glenn33 roughgreens.com/slash Beck.

Speaker 29 10 seconds station ID.

Speaker 57 All right.

Speaker 3 That's due.

Speaker 23 I want you to think this through with me, okay?

Speaker 103 What is the point of having drag shows in classrooms?

Speaker 68 Don't answer your first first answer.

Speaker 71 Don't just knee-jerk answer like there is no except for sexualizing our children and preying on them.

Speaker 39 Okay, don't give me that bigoted stuff.

Speaker 59 What's the reason to have drag shows in schools?

Speaker 177 Shelter from the weather.

Speaker 18 No. No.
No.

Speaker 9 Okay. No.

Speaker 98 I'm out of reasons.

Speaker 105 That was my only guess.

Speaker 27 To make your kids comfortable exploring their sexuality.

Speaker 107 Oh, well, see, that's not a goal of mine.

Speaker 65 No, I'm not asking for you because you're a bigot.

Speaker 97 We already established that.

Speaker 100 I don't need my children to explore.

Speaker 96 Whatever. That's for adults.

Speaker 80 Thank you, Caveman, for showing up. Got it.

Speaker 29 Try to live in the day.

Speaker 72 Okay, sorry. Okay.

Speaker 95 You want your children to explore their sexuality and be comfortable with it, right?

Speaker 57 Right.

Speaker 3 Now

Speaker 29 we're leaving something out of that.

Speaker 17 I would like to know,

Speaker 97 and I would help you set this up.

Speaker 57 I would like to know if there's somebody who's having this problem in school and they want to go to a school board meeting surrounded by really extremely hot Playboy bunnies

Speaker 19 and

Speaker 160 demand

Speaker 79 equal time so your kids can also enjoy a nice strip tease from beautiful hot women.

Speaker 122 And then we can bring the Chippendales in and they can dance, but

Speaker 15 they dance with the Playboy Bunnies

Speaker 160 and they gyrate on each other in a cisgender sort of way.

Speaker 120 So they can explore the potential.

Speaker 24 The potential

Speaker 100 unlikely that they might be straight.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 115 I mean, it's probably a one in a million chance.

Speaker 128 Oh my God.

Speaker 94 But they should, they're looking to explore.

Speaker 20 147%

Speaker 123 of our population is transgender or gay.

Speaker 107 And that's new. That's a new study.

Speaker 7 It's a new study.

Speaker 108 A new study.

Speaker 57 147% of all people are

Speaker 80 gay.

Speaker 61 In classrooms today.

Speaker 57 Or LG or B or T or Q or I or IA or 2 or Plus.

Speaker 67 And I'm not even counting the two-spirited people.

Speaker 40 I'm not even counting those. And that's a problem.

Speaker 175 We need to talk about that off the air. I got to HR.

Speaker 22 I know. I'm sorry.
Here in a minute. Sorry.
I'm working on it.

Speaker 66 I'm trying to be more open-minded.

Speaker 40 Hey, Playboy Bunnies and Stripper Poles, you go ahead.

Speaker 49 Take that one to the Department of Ed and just ask them, hey, we're just trying to make sure they are exploring their sexuality.

Speaker 22 Don't tempt them.

Speaker 166 Please.

Speaker 87 Oh,

Speaker 29 I'm tempted to do it.

Speaker 171 I'm tempted to do it.

Speaker 95 Relief Factor.

Speaker 9 Let me ask you something.

Speaker 19 You in pain?

Speaker 83 Constant pain?

Speaker 184 You hate it?

Speaker 28 You listen to the show every day?

Speaker 23 When are you going to buy this stinking stuff so I can stop talking about this stinking stuff?

Speaker 171 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 178 I mean, it's a two-way street here.

Speaker 28 You want me to shut up about Relief Factor?

Speaker 65 Okay, fine.

Speaker 135 Then buy it, get out of pain, and I'll stop talking about it.

Speaker 97 It's just that it's a two-way street, pal.

Speaker 178 Two-way street.

Speaker 127 You're in pain.

Speaker 143 There is something you can do to fight it. 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.

Speaker 61 So when 100% of this audience tries this and 30% write to me and go, stuff sucks, it didn't work.

Speaker 16 And the rest of you all say, it worked for me, we can move on with our lives.

Speaker 35 Until that time, relieffactor.com.

Speaker 67 That's relief factor.com. Try the three-week quick start and get out of pain.

Speaker 16 Welcome to the

Speaker 41 Glen Beck program, The owner of a Bloomington, Indiana dive bar,

Speaker 4 who voiced support for Bud Light and threatened to remove customers for speaking out against Bud Light,

Speaker 130 is

Speaker 162 now on Facebook saying, We appreciate your support because I kicked all these hateful bigots out.

Speaker 44 And if you want to stop by and have a beer,

Speaker 11 please do.

Speaker 63 Because

Speaker 97 he's kind of following in the footsteps of Bud Light.

Speaker 39 And,

Speaker 9 yeah, he's lost his patrons

Speaker 37 because he said they spewed bigotry and hatred regarding Bud Light's advertising partnership with Dylan Mulvaney.

Speaker 12 And, you know, so the bar is still celebrating the 365 days of girlhood.

Speaker 43 of Dylan Mulvaney.

Speaker 140 And I thought that already passed.

Speaker 17 Well,

Speaker 17 I don't know, Stu.

Speaker 38 Does it ever pass?

Speaker 93 Does it ever pass? I don't know.

Speaker 76 I don't know what the rules are.

Speaker 105 It's very difficult to keep track of them.

Speaker 8 So he's having a hard time.

Speaker 80 Coincidentally,

Speaker 104 in complete coincidence, so is Anheuser-Busch.

Speaker 93 Yeah, no, no kidding.

Speaker 28 Yeah, now I saw this story today from the Washington Examiner.

Speaker 67 Anheuser-Busch employs ex-GOP aides for damage control.

Speaker 34 And they've hired

Speaker 24 Sean McClain.

Speaker 176 And that's

Speaker 143 a legislative director for Senator Ted Cruz.

Speaker 13 And then

Speaker 27 another person

Speaker 176 that was also with Kelly Iot

Speaker 40 from New Hampshire.

Speaker 36 She's also a Republican.

Speaker 13 And

Speaker 37 they're working now for Bud Light trying to get things back.

Speaker 15 Bud Light, may I just say,

Speaker 39 I didn't really have to even go into this story at all.

Speaker 67 When I saw that you hired two ex-GOP aides for damage control, I thought, boy, you still don't get it.

Speaker 25 It's about beer,

Speaker 74 not about politics.

Speaker 87 Okay.

Speaker 19 I don't

Speaker 27 pull the horse out. Okay.

Speaker 15 Just do the horse thing. Okay.
It's too late now.

Speaker 75 You've destroyed the Clydesdale horses.

Speaker 3 But pull them out, you know?

Speaker 98 But they can't give up, right?

Speaker 107 They're not going to be just like, oh, let's fold the company.

Speaker 175 We didn't.

Speaker 93 So you go to

Speaker 98 Ted Cruz aide, right?

Speaker 115 Someone who probably understands conservatives.

Speaker 78 For what? For what? How do we

Speaker 120 apologize for this appropriately, essentially?

Speaker 111 What is Ted going to say?

Speaker 151 Well, I don't know what Ted's going to say, but neither do they.

Speaker 115 And I don't know. What would you say?

Speaker 159 Forget it's too late.

Speaker 120 Throw that piece of advice out.

Speaker 115 What is your advice to Bud Light?

Speaker 145 Just lay low.

Speaker 9 Just don't say anything.

Speaker 45 Don't say a damn word.

Speaker 83 Apologize and mean it and just lay low.

Speaker 9 Exactly.

Speaker 6 And then just, and then just, and then hope that people forget.

Speaker 17 They're not going to, Bud Light.

Speaker 15 They're not going to.

Speaker 6 You've destroyed your brand.

Speaker 164 Destroyed it.

Speaker 128 That one thing.

Speaker 96 Destroyed a hundred years.

Speaker 31 One thing.

Speaker 115 I mean, and that might be the answer.

Speaker 177 Of course, they can't accept that answer.

Speaker 117 They have to try to repair it.

Speaker 113 Yeah.

Speaker 153 As the

Speaker 134 gods of the copybook headings with terror and slaughter return is the Rudyard Kipling last line of the poem Gods of the Copybook Headings, which is truth returning to

Speaker 67 a people that have completely disregarded the truth, made truth

Speaker 44 things like,

Speaker 86 you know,

Speaker 185 horses and ponies have wings and

Speaker 9 wishes are pigs, those kinds of things.

Speaker 39 No, they're really not.

Speaker 44 Ponies don't have wings, okay?

Speaker 36 And that, when your society has gone so far off the track, it takes a toll

Speaker 180 when you finally return back to the truth.

Speaker 123 And America is returning back to the truth.

Speaker 31 Whether you like it or they like it or not, it's returning back to the truth.

Speaker 6 Did you hear what Coca-Cola did?

Speaker 29 This is amazing.

Speaker 152 So

Speaker 145 shareholders

Speaker 143 have requested that Coca-Cola's board of directors issue a public report prior to December 31st, 2023, admitting confidential information and

Speaker 108 at a reasonable expense detailing any known and potential risks or cost to the company caused by enacted or proposed state policies severely restricting reproductive rights and detailing any strategies beyond litigation and legal compliance that the company may deploy to minimize or mitigate these risks.

Speaker 33 Here's what it is.

Speaker 28 A nonprofit that proposes ESG policies to companies,

Speaker 28 which is called As You Saw.

Speaker 3 Oh, that's clever or just stupid.

Speaker 23 87%

Speaker 154 of the controlling shares voted against their proposal.

Speaker 143 What their proposal was, we're not going to ship Cokes to states that don't allow abortion.

Speaker 57 Boom.

Speaker 28 And the shareholders were like, what?

Speaker 143 I said we're not going to ship Coca-Cola to states.

Speaker 57 Boom.

Speaker 58 Nope.

Speaker 23 Nope. 83% are against that.

Speaker 103 83%.

Speaker 34 And so now they're like, we'd like to see how you're coming up with these great proposals, please.

Speaker 120 Kind of seems a little crazy.

Speaker 117 I think this is an interesting thing to think about this as we look at a long-term response to wokeness.

Speaker 115 How do you systemize this?

Speaker 128 And what are you trying to do?

Speaker 146 Who is the right target?

Speaker 129 And what are you trying to accomplish when you look at it at these companies, right?

Speaker 113 So we did a show last night on Studios America.

Speaker 105 By the way, if you're looking for a show at 8 p.m.

Speaker 120 Eastern, just because maybe one of your favorite shows just got canceled, it's available 8 p.m.

Speaker 52 YouTube, PlayStation, Plays TV.

Speaker 144 Yeah, it's there every night for you.

Speaker 146 But we went through the five levels of corporate wokeness.

Speaker 73 Okay.

Speaker 113 And so you have number one, company that is woken proud of it, right?

Speaker 115 Think Ben and Jerry's, right?

Speaker 107 They, any liberal policy that comes out, they're in full endorsement.

Speaker 120 They're Bernie Sanders.

Speaker 115 They don't like Jews very much. There's a lot of things that they do.

Speaker 9 And they've smoked enough dope to where they don't care.

Speaker 142 They don't care.

Speaker 159 They don't care.

Speaker 115 So you can boycott Ben and Jerry's all you want.

Speaker 76 They're not going to change it.

Speaker 129 But they're not going to change a policy because to them, wokeness is more important than selling you ice cream.

Speaker 48 Like straight out.

Speaker 76 Next level down, neutral to the public, but woke in in the boardroom.

Speaker 177 Right.

Speaker 105 These companies that act like they're just normal companies, but their activity in the background is always.

Speaker 154 Verizon.

Speaker 115 Yeah, right. We talk about these phone companies, right?

Speaker 100 Where they're donating all their money to Planned Parenthood and all this stuff, but they act like the normal company that's just trying to serve you and sell you cell phone service.

Speaker 185 Can you hear me now?

Speaker 19 There you go. Can you hear me now?

Speaker 31 Because

Speaker 39 I've got the screaming of all of these babies that are dying right now in my other ear, so speak up a little bit louder.

Speaker 107 Now, that's not Bud Light.

Speaker 117 That's not Budweiser, right?

Speaker 76 They're not neutral to the public and woke in the boardroom.

Speaker 100 They're doing the opposite.

Speaker 170 They did a bizarre sort of outreach to Dylan Mulvaney publicly and then are trying in the boardroom seeming to reverse that.

Speaker 107 So that's the next category.

Speaker 76 Neutral in the boardroom, woke to the public.

Speaker 147 And I think that's the type of person that is affected by the ESG score, right? They're not necessarily a woke company, but like they see these pressures coming in.

Speaker 177 They're trying, they think maybe it's the right stance to sell product to be woke.

Speaker 3 They don't care about transgender issues.

Speaker 94 They're taking positions to try to act like to get new demographics in.

Speaker 56 I think there's another category.

Speaker 101 I've got two more.

Speaker 107 Oh, okay. Okay, so tell me if these are covering or the next one is neutral.

Speaker 120 This is what everything used to be.

Speaker 70 Back in the day, everyone was just like, you know what?

Speaker 177 We just want to sell products.

Speaker 115 If you want to buy them, buy them.

Speaker 76 If you don't want to buy them.

Speaker 161 Now, I don't know if there's any.

Speaker 128 I mean, I don't know. Maybe there's some, but almost everybody seems to have some political band.

Speaker 115 And then the last one is like you mentioned Verizon earlier,

Speaker 76 the category five, not woke and proud of it.

Speaker 113 That would be Patriot Mobile, right?

Speaker 105 Where Patriot Mobile is just like, yeah,

Speaker 113 we're not woke at all.

Speaker 181 We want to, we want, we're pro-life.

Speaker 94 We're a pro-life Christian company and we stand on that.

Speaker 3 I think there's the other category of pretty hostile to the woke thing, but have to do it because of what it would mean for the stock price.

Speaker 17 They bought into all the lies.

Speaker 143 And I think that's where Bud probably is.

Speaker 146 Yeah, I think of that as.

Speaker 76 They're not neutral.

Speaker 129 Maybe you don't think they're hostile to wokeness?

Speaker 91 Hostile to wokeness?

Speaker 26 I think a good majority probably are hostile to it, but when doing it.

Speaker 34 They're sitting down in the, they're just doing it to get through.

Speaker 113 I think of that as that neutral in the boardroom. But you're right.
Neutral to anti-woke in the boardroom, right?

Speaker 115 Like you're not, they're not embracing it, and I think that's where Bud Light is.

Speaker 94 And so, number one, I think that's probably the best target for

Speaker 105 an outreach campaign from conservatives who are frustrated by this.

Speaker 147 People who actually are doing this because they think it's the right thing to do to sell more beer, right?

Speaker 39 But you're not, here's the thing: you're not, but

Speaker 77 in today's world,

Speaker 66 there is no forgiveness.

Speaker 149 That's the problem.

Speaker 23 There is no forgiveness.

Speaker 113 Well, but you just said when they did this Dylan Mulvaney thing that it's over.

Speaker 120 Yeah. That does not show forgiveness, right?

Speaker 73 No, I know.

Speaker 115 Because there's something they could do to make this right.

Speaker 93 And you said they said no.

Speaker 137 Because nobody believes anybody anymore.

Speaker 17 You have no trust.

Speaker 15 Right.

Speaker 9 Oh, that's true.

Speaker 77 It's not like the Clydesdale can go out and say, but they feed me oats and the same kind of yummy oats and hops that are in this Bud Light.

Speaker 23 You know, there's no, what can they possibly do that you will believe?

Speaker 160 Nothing.

Speaker 110 When you betray the truth that hard,

Speaker 54 this is why, this is why sane Democrats are jumping off the Democratic wagon right now.

Speaker 18 Because that correction is coming.

Speaker 83 It's coming.

Speaker 181 But like, isn't there something in this situation?

Speaker 94 Logically.

Speaker 115 Shouldn't we be asking for something?

Speaker 106 Like, what happened with Bud Light is they came out and they made a statement, which was not incredibly strong, but not incredibly weak either. They were basically saying, like, we went out of this.

Speaker 115 We didn't mean to get in the middle of this.

Speaker 181 And then the people responsible were suspended.

Speaker 115 Now, maybe you might say that's not enough, but like,

Speaker 181 there has to be something we're asking for.

Speaker 94 If

Speaker 21 why are we asking for it?

Speaker 15 I don't want to be like them.

Speaker 20 I don't want to say, we'll let you go ahead and sell your beer as long as you do X, Y, and Z.

Speaker 70 Make beer.

Speaker 20 Right.

Speaker 101 That's fine.

Speaker 78 Leave us alone.

Speaker 181 I just want you to be neutral.

Speaker 115 Right.

Speaker 161 Coinbase is neutral.

Speaker 115 They say, look, we're taking no stance on anything unless it has to do with crypto.

Speaker 155 Correct. That's the right approach.

Speaker 71 That's the right approach.

Speaker 24 Once you've crossed the Rubicon, I don't think you get your credibility back.

Speaker 117 This is a massive organization, right?

Speaker 115 They hired someone. And look, I'm not defending Bud Light because I don't like what they did here.
And I don't like the fact that they hired someone initially, right,

Speaker 105 whose stated goal was to remake this brand because it became too fratty, Right.

Speaker 115 Like, that's a terrible idea.

Speaker 105 They shouldn't have done that in the first place.

Speaker 183 But, like,

Speaker 18 at some point, if they do something, if someone does something that's wrong and you think it's wrong, usually what we would say is, hey, okay, make it right.

Speaker 135 But this isn't a person.

Speaker 148 No, it's a company.

Speaker 43 Yeah, it's a brand.

Speaker 10 You should care less about it then.

Speaker 174 Right? Shouldn't you care less about whether

Speaker 94 you never believed in Bud Light's credibility as a bunch of human beings?

Speaker 183 They're just a nice watery beer that's really available.

Speaker 19 I don't know.

Speaker 3 I don't know.

Speaker 72 It's a new slogan for you.

Speaker 83 I don't know how I can

Speaker 33 express this in a different way.

Speaker 130 We are

Speaker 68 Americans feel betrayed.

Speaker 46 Right.

Speaker 122 And when you've betrayed,

Speaker 23 I'm sorry, you can be nice.

Speaker 59 And over time, just make beer.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 18 And over time, maybe.

Speaker 160 Maybe. I'm not against you, Bud Light.

Speaker 135 I'm not going to support you

Speaker 171 because I'm an alcoholic.

Speaker 15 But beyond that, I wouldn't be drinking Bud Light right now because I feel betrayed by you.

Speaker 76 But over time.

Speaker 49 But over time.

Speaker 128 Show your record is strong over time.

Speaker 115 You don't do this again.

Speaker 142 And you might want to look to do things that are standing behind.

Speaker 142 You know what, Bud,

Speaker 36 here's what you can do.

Speaker 15 And I don't know if I would even accept it, but something like this.

Speaker 66 Put our American museum that is teaching the truth about America, you become the national sponsor of it, and pay for it to go on the road for the next year.

Speaker 107 Now, they would say, of course, then we're taking a stance on the right. We're not being neutral.
We're not just making beer.

Speaker 83 Since when is American history

Speaker 171 associated with you?

Speaker 3 You are obviously a race.

Speaker 93 I know they could associate with girl power, but not somebody who believes in the Constitution. I am

Speaker 105 literally on this show and have been for 25 years, and I don't want to associate with you.

Speaker 73 I understand the stance here.

Speaker 50 No, but I don't know.

Speaker 60 That makes sense, right?

Speaker 62 And I'm not saying that that would be a quick fix.

Speaker 97 No.

Speaker 57 It wouldn't, you know, there would be a lot of people that would go, I'm going to go, but Bud Light, what were you doing?

Speaker 3 What were you doing?

Speaker 5 But over time,

Speaker 34 maybe they can rebuild it.

Speaker 8 But otherwise,

Speaker 55 I mean, I have no suggestion.

Speaker 24 They're bed bath and beyond.

Speaker 20 That's what they are wow a brand that you thought would be around forever forever because you need bed stuff and you need bath stuff

Speaker 30 and sometimes you go beyond

Speaker 66 that's it bye-bye all right let me tell you about uh patriot mobile patriot mobile is one of those companies that stu said these are the great companies they are not neutral they are for the constitution they are for your free speech your

Speaker 15 religious freedom, sanctity of life.

Speaker 79 They have a stance on drag and any real strippers, drag or not,

Speaker 31 in your classrooms.

Speaker 179 They actually are moms and dads of kids, of actual kids that they claim are theirs.

Speaker 137 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 15 Patriot Mobile.

Speaker 66 These are the kinds of people and companies that we need to support.

Speaker 172 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 74 All right, trading has been halted a couple of times from what I understand today on

Speaker 83 Western Alliance Bank and PacWest Bank.

Speaker 123 They're definitely it's not contagion.

Speaker 24 It's definitely it's these banks are fine.

Speaker 125 They're solid.

Speaker 23 Nothing to be seen here.

Speaker 105 Well, we've already stepped in, Glenn, and the government has shown it has given full confidence to the markets, which is why, of course, these stocks are all down and stopping trading multiple times in a day.

Speaker 90 Because, I mean, we have full confidence

Speaker 134 in the federal government.

Speaker 106 And everyone believes them.

Speaker 162 Right, right.

Speaker 67 So I'm anxious to see which secret Fed bank,

Speaker 12 you know, a bank that we're not supposed to know belongs to the Fed,

Speaker 66 which one's going to get PacWest and which one will get Western Alliance?

Speaker 67 Will it be JP Morgan Chase again or Citicorp or Bank of America or maybe Wells Fargo?

Speaker 35 We don't know.

Speaker 172 The Glenn Bach program.

Speaker 39 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glen Beck Program.

Speaker 32 How do we get our country back on its feet again?

Speaker 51 How do we go back?

Speaker 31 How do we go forward?

Speaker 67 How do we trust police, people who have always trusted the police?

Speaker 43 I have,

Speaker 67 but I saw too many police officers arresting people because they wouldn't take the COVID virus or vaccine.

Speaker 28 They wouldn't stay at home.

Speaker 15 They were out by themselves in a park, you know, playing football with their kid, and they had to go to jail.

Speaker 67 How do we trust people like that?

Speaker 69 How do we get out of this inflationary situation that we're in when Jerome Powell says, well, we got to cut jobs,

Speaker 34 we've got to cut wages, and we have to just slow the economy down.

Speaker 36 Well, there's another way we can become more productive, but that requires us to be people of merit.

Speaker 25 Do we ever see those days returning?

Speaker 11 We'll talk about it in 60 seconds.

Speaker 175 Here's a real review from Genucell customer Claire.

Speaker 146 She says, I absolutely love Genucelle.

Speaker 115 My skin feels so good, tighter, younger, with a more evil tone.

Speaker 113 That evil tone.

Speaker 90 Evil tone.

Speaker 3 What is that?

Speaker 61 It's haunting the people around you.

Speaker 113 More even tone, excuse me.

Speaker 175 And I only used it for a week. My advice for everyone, take a before picture.

Speaker 99 It's true, nothing works like Genucell. It's the best in skincare.

Speaker 175 You don't need to go get sliced and diced somewhere with plastic surgery.

Speaker 177 Instead, use Genucell.

Speaker 175 It's been in the family for over 20 years. This is a recipe made by compounding the pharmacist in small batches.
It's always safe, cruelty-free, and natural.

Speaker 134 There's a book out called When Race Trumps Merit.

Speaker 167 It's written by Heather McDonald, and she's with the Manhattan Institute.

Speaker 11 She's a fellow there, and she's on with us now.

Speaker 12 Hi, Heather.

Speaker 192 Hi, Glenn. Thanks for having me on.

Speaker 68 Sure. So

Speaker 56 do we ever get back to merit in this country?

Speaker 192 We could,

Speaker 192 with relative ease, but it requires courage. So all it takes is courage to stand up to the phony charge of racism and to say that standards are not racist.

Speaker 192 The racial disparities in our country are not due to racist standards. They're due to academic skills gaps.
They're due to criminal offending disparities. But right now, the American civilization

Speaker 192 should not be apologizing for itself. We are not today

Speaker 192 a racist country. But what we're doing is tearing down meritocratic standards across the board, whether it's in medicine, science, law,

Speaker 192 the arts, policing,

Speaker 192 all because those standards are being accused of having a racist impact on underrepresented minorities.

Speaker 51 But how,

Speaker 17 let me take you to Budweiser.

Speaker 123 Budweiser, we were just having a conversation. How do they get their credibility back?

Speaker 24 Well, they can't.

Speaker 188 They will over time, I suppose, if they just don't do more stupid things.

Speaker 143 However, you know, this has infected everything.

Speaker 59 The reason why Bud

Speaker 30 was rejected here is I don't want any of this crap.

Speaker 135 I just want the beer.

Speaker 25 Leave us alone.

Speaker 24 Just want the beer.

Speaker 154 Everything now is about politics.

Speaker 48 How do we get out of that?

Speaker 192 Yeah, I mean everything's about politics, but a lot of it is about race. And we need people in medicine to stand up and say, I'm an oncologist.
I have devoted my life to trying to cure cancer.

Speaker 192 I am not going to accept the charge that is coming out of the federal government, out of the National Institutes of Health, out of the National Cancer Institute, that medicine is racist.

Speaker 192 I am not going to accept the charge that's coming out of our scientific journals that says that science is racist.

Speaker 192 If people started saying that and refusing to put their heads down and go along with the elites and defend meritocratic standards that are colorblind, objective and constitutional,

Speaker 192 the whole thing would collapse.

Speaker 6 I will tell you, especially when it comes to medicine,

Speaker 7 the fact that

Speaker 130 if you are

Speaker 26 underprivileged or intersected in any way, shape, or form,

Speaker 12 you get into medical school much faster than somebody who just happens to be really, really smart and gifted, wants to be a doctor, but they have no intersections on them.

Speaker 79 Then

Speaker 160 the good ones are being kept out.

Speaker 90 Just for

Speaker 104 our new balancing act that we're doing, we are going to really suffer a consequence because the best doctors are not going to be the best doctors because they weren't allowed in.

Speaker 192 Black and Hispanic seniors are being accepted to medical schools with scores on the medical school admission test and GPAs that would be automatically disqualifying if presented by whites and Asians.

Speaker 192 That's based on the phony charge that those medical school admissions tests are racist. They are not.
There are schools that are waiving them entirely for black students.

Speaker 192 And when students are admitted with lower qualifications than their peers, they understandably and predictably

Speaker 192 struggle. In a sense, it's not their fault.
It's the fault of the admissions officers that are subjecting the so-called beneficiaries of racial preferences to an absolutely unfair handicap.

Speaker 192 But they struggle, and guess what the next step has been?

Speaker 192 Get rid of further standards. So we have now

Speaker 192 dismantled the step one of the medical licensing exam, which comes after the second year of medical school to test students' basic knowledge of anatomy, physiology, drug interactions.

Speaker 192 Blacks weren't doing very well on that exam.

Speaker 192 So we have gone last year we changed it from a graded system to a pass-fail system to cover up the fact that blacks are not learning as much.

Speaker 192 So they get passed along and then the pressure is on on medical school hiring committees to hire on the basis of race, not merit, put people on hospital staff on the basis of race, not merit.

Speaker 192 The American Medical Association, the American Association of Medical Colleges is all behind this. You read their documents and it's like reading something out of a black studies class.

Speaker 192 It is mind-boggling.

Speaker 192 I have doctors on a daily basis sending me pronouncements from their associations of hematology or oncology or neurology, people trying to cure Alzheimer's disease, that are saying everything from now on has to be about anti-racism.

Speaker 192 This is a lie,

Speaker 192 Glenn, and the sad thing is, is that people are still terrified. They're terrified of losing their jobs if they stand up to this narrative.
But that is what it's going to have to take.

Speaker 192 This can't, nobody's going to do this for us.

Speaker 192 We have to take it back ourselves and start telling the truth that though this country had a deplorable, heartbreaking history of gratuitous cruelty towards blacks that I think actually the conservative narrative about America does not sufficiently account for, we are not that country today.

Speaker 192 The reality is, frankly, black privilege, not white privilege. I don't know a single high school senior who's black who is putting down his race as white,

Speaker 192 thinking that that will improve his chances for admissions.

Speaker 192 But I know a lot of white males who are wondering if they can get away with putting down their race as black because they know perfectly well that that will give them an enormous, enormous admissions boost.

Speaker 192 These are not the ways of a white supremacist country.

Speaker 106 Heather,

Speaker 105 these organizations keep coming up with the same point, which is of course we want the best doctors. We want the best people here.

Speaker 106 But we also want a diverse staff.

Speaker 105 We want to make sure we're hitting those diversity goals as well.

Speaker 170 Can they do both?

Speaker 192 They cannot. Unfortunately, and Ben, Glenn, this is a difficult thing to talk about.
It violates racial etiquette. People don't want to hear it.
It makes them uncomfortable.

Speaker 192 But given the size of the academic skills gaps right now, and let me give you some data, blacks are

Speaker 192 if you look at 12th graders, black students, 66% of 12th grade black students do not possess even partial mastery of 12th grade math skills.

Speaker 192 That means doing arithmetic, reading a linear function on a graph. 66% are below basic.
The number who are actually advanced in math is too small to show up statistically on a nationwide basis.

Speaker 192 This means it is mathematically impossible to have proportional representation in our meritocratic STEM organizations. You can have diversity or you can have meritocracy.
You cannot have both.

Speaker 192 Diversity,

Speaker 192 here's a translation key for your listeners, Glenn. Diversity is simply code word for racial preferences.
When any institution is saying we're doing diversity, it means we have double standards.

Speaker 192 We're lowering our standards in order to create diversity. Because right now, you cannot have both diversity and meritocracy.

Speaker 192 And we have to start standing up for meritocracy and say, we'll solve those skills gaps, but the way to solve them is not to tear down our standards.

Speaker 124 So usually,

Speaker 23 I mean, I would hate to be a Christian missionary

Speaker 44 in the good days.

Speaker 188 And my zone is,

Speaker 46 you know, the Wall Street area.

Speaker 22 Because nobody's successful, nobody, you know, at the top of their game is miserable enough to question what am I doing wrong?

Speaker 26 Right now, the American people are not deeply questioning.

Speaker 83 But when medicine, for instance, starts to go down, and

Speaker 24 you have, you know, bad service, we become more like Venezuela or Cuba.

Speaker 142 Then we'll ask, but it will be too late then.

Speaker 136 How do we get people to understand today

Speaker 79 what's coming our way?

Speaker 192 Well, they've got to get the facts about what's going on. I mean, that is in my book.

Speaker 192 I would say that you start with the people with power, the people that are seeing it. Again, it's...

Speaker 192 I'm getting

Speaker 192 this

Speaker 192 avalanche of material for people that do know what's going on from the doctors, from the scientists, who see that their entire

Speaker 192 life's work is being jeopardized and torn down by this diversity obsession.

Speaker 33 So can you give me any examples, any stats or anything where you're seeing the impact now?

Speaker 192 Well,

Speaker 192 with medicine, yes. I mean, I've seen, for instance,

Speaker 192 people

Speaker 192 for heads of medical schools, which is important,

Speaker 192 the heads of a medical school are going to set priorities, they're going to set the tone, they're going to get federal funding.

Speaker 192 I have seen the candidates that are chosen, and I have seen people with enormous cancer research success, just the leaders in the field, not get the job because they're white males.

Speaker 192 And the people that do get the job are, as you say, intersectional.

Speaker 192 As far as being able to point to somebody dying because he comes through the emergency room after a car crash and he gets a racial preference beneficiary,

Speaker 192 I don't see that. I can see in the area of public safety, I don't see it yet, but it will happen.

Speaker 192 But I can tell you that this disparate impact thinking that I write about is taking lives in public safety.

Speaker 192 If your listeners, Glenn, are scratching their heads and saying, what the heck is going on in law enforcement today? Why are all these prosecutors not prosecuting the law?

Speaker 192 You know,

Speaker 192 overlooking theft, turnstile jumping, shoplifting, trespass, assault, disorderly conduct, and just saying, we're not going to do anything about it.

Speaker 192 The reason they're not doing anything is because of disparate impact.

Speaker 192 Were they to enforce the law in a colorblind, neutral, constitutional fashion, it will have a disparate impact on black criminals, not because the law is racist, but because the crime rates are so much higher.

Speaker 192 When you back off of policing in the name of disparate impact, when you back off of prosecution in the name of fighting disparate impact, lives are lost.

Speaker 192 2020 saw the largest one-year increase in homicide in this nation's history, 29%.

Speaker 192 Carjackings are spreading out of the inner city into the suburbs. People are having their jewelry torn from their necks, eating outdoors in restaurants.

Speaker 192 We see the flash mobs that have been going down the magnificent mile in Chicago for years because

Speaker 192 they fear no consequences for their action. So certainly in the field of public safety, we are seeing lives being taken.

Speaker 192 And overwhelmingly, they're black lives, their black children who are being gunned down and drived by shootings to not a peep of protest from the Black Lives Matter activists. Why?

Speaker 192 Because they're being shot by other blacks. They're not being shot by the police.
They're not being shot by whites.

Speaker 192 They're being shot by blacks and therefore those black victims are of no concern to Al Sharpton or Benjamin Crump, the ubiquitous civil rights attorney.

Speaker 192 So this is a philosophy that disparate impact is inherently racist that must be be fought, and it will start happening in STEM. It will slow down our scientific progress.

Speaker 192 China is going full speed ahead with its nanotechnology. It is grooming its students for the most challenging mathematical

Speaker 192 test possible. It doesn't give a damn about diversity.
It just wants to throw everything it's got at its gifted and talented programs.

Speaker 192 Meanwhile, here in the U.S., we are dismantling gifted and talented programs. We're saying you may be gifted in math, but you're not allowed to excel because it will be racially disparate.

Speaker 192 We will not have 13%

Speaker 192 at this point

Speaker 192 black students in our gifted and talented programs. Therefore, nobody should be in a gifted and talented program.

Speaker 192 We don't want you to do calculus in the ninth grade if you're capable of it, because you will not be in a diverse class of students. This is

Speaker 12 a death knell to freedom, to capitalism,

Speaker 168 and

Speaker 127 to everything that we have built.

Speaker 66 If we don't turn this around, the name of the book is When Race Trumps Merit.

Speaker 31 The author you've been listening to is Heather McDonald.

Speaker 11 She's from the Manhattan Institute, where she is a fellow.

Speaker 33 Again, the name of the book is When Race Trumps Merit.

Speaker 23 Heather, thank you so much.

Speaker 192 Thanks for the conversation, Glenn. You bet.
Appreciate it.

Speaker 63 Silicon Valley Bank collapsed a month ago.

Speaker 43 It's gone.

Speaker 29 First Republic, 90% of its value in the last six months, gone.

Speaker 3 But

Speaker 24 good thing JP Morgan Chase was there to absorb it.

Speaker 131 Now

Speaker 28 we've got two others.

Speaker 176 We have PacWest and Western Alliance that are losing all kinds of money and

Speaker 24 being shut down on the trading floor today two times.

Speaker 10 What do you think? What do you think?

Speaker 44 Is it getting better?

Speaker 33 Do you have full faith and trust in the United States government to handle all this?

Speaker 178 Hello, you sick twisted freak.

Speaker 16 Welcome to the program.

Speaker 87 Hello, Stu.

Speaker 93 Glenn,

Speaker 76 I'm

Speaker 76 also very worried about the loss of merit in this country.

Speaker 105 Heather was just on and talking about this. And, you know, you have that situation where

Speaker 105 there was a controversy, it was a few weeks ago, and someone was on TV and some liberal asked them, well, you know, you keep talking about your anti-woke.

Speaker 113 How would you define woke?

Speaker 3 What does woke mean?

Speaker 105 And, you know, the controversy was about, you know, there's a pause before she answered. I can't remember the exact situation, but like, shouldn't you know?

Speaker 93 You're always complaining about wokeness.

Speaker 115 And to me, one of the central parts of that is just the dissolving of merit in this country.

Speaker 147 That, like, that is

Speaker 105 central to it.

Speaker 141 I think that started a long time ago when I hired you.

Speaker 96 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 174 Yeah.

Speaker 76 That's, I mean, that's a great first.

Speaker 39 Yeah. I mean, it's like everybody in America heard that and they were like, what the hell?

Speaker 93 What?

Speaker 63 I mean, I expected so much more.

Speaker 17 Right.

Speaker 168 And I'm with you, America.

Speaker 31 I did too when I hired him.

Speaker 113 Believe me.

Speaker 129 And being here for 25 years with you, I've wondered about my own standards.

Speaker 155 But it is, like, I do think that's essential to what we're fighting here.

Speaker 113 Right.

Speaker 100 It's not like just this feeling of liberal annoyances and tweets.

Speaker 115 It's this idea that we're losing something really fundamental to the country's success, which is we care about merit and they cared about class and they cared about race and other countries cared about kings and queens and princes and all that other crap.

Speaker 57 And we blew them out of the water.

Speaker 159 Yeah, we blew them out of the water by saying we don't care about any of that.

Speaker 150 We care about who's best at the job.

Speaker 99 And now we're dissolving that.

Speaker 66 And we're not just dissolving it, like

Speaker 26 just not hiring people of merit.

Speaker 32 It's going down to our kids.

Speaker 51 They are not even learning about merit.

Speaker 17 In fact, if they do, they'll learn that meritocracy is bad.

Speaker 99 They're telling kids that getting to work on time is racist.

Speaker 72 How do you fight this?

Speaker 87 That's why they don't show up on time.

Speaker 193 American Financing NMLS 1-8-2-3-3-4, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

Speaker 15 Hey, listen, if you're a homeowner and you're struggling at the end of the month to make ends meet,

Speaker 180 there's a lot of Americans right now that are in exactly the

Speaker 83 same condition.

Speaker 66 You might consider...

Speaker 188 taking out a consolidation loan.

Speaker 17 I know the word loan is scary up front.

Speaker 15 It may not be right for you.

Speaker 42 I don't know.

Speaker 185 But talking about it with somebody who can help you get rid of the terrible things like high interest rate, credit card debt, these are the kind of things that put you in a holding pattern where

Speaker 26 you can barely touch the principal.

Speaker 66 You're just making interest payments.

Speaker 7 It's got to stop.

Speaker 44 Do not be the United States government.

Speaker 33 So you might want to set up a consolation, a consta

Speaker 28 consolidation loan.

Speaker 57 What was that about merit?

Speaker 175 Can't remember what you were saying about that and who would be hired for radio.

Speaker 22 I want you to call American Financing now.

Speaker 16 The number is 800-906-2440.

Speaker 46 800-906-2440 or AmericanFinancing.net.

Speaker 115 If you're looking to lower your standards, how about Blaze TV?

Speaker 138 Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

Speaker 98 Promo code is Glenn.

Speaker 77 All right. So ABC News, Martha Redditz,

Speaker 75 was talking to very excited liberal voters about, you know, what's on the horizon here?

Speaker 59 What are you excited about?

Speaker 167 I've got a Joe Biden supporter with me, and they're just excited about the whole thing.

Speaker 43 Here's how it went.

Speaker 194 Democrats are divided on whether or not President Biden should be running again.

Speaker 195 You voted for Biden. I did.

Speaker 192 He announced this week, what was your reaction?

Speaker 195 Regret, disappointment, frustration.

Speaker 194 While it's very early in the race, that disappointment and frustration was expressed again and again by young voters we talked to.

Speaker 175 I think I would go for Biden, but obviously I would prefer a fresher candidate.

Speaker 195 He announced this week, were you excited by that?

Speaker 192 not particularly. I'm more interested in a progressive candidate.

Speaker 194 Despite having voted for Biden last time, 21-year-old Elena Symes couldn't point me to anything that would make her want to vote for him again, except...

Speaker 195 What do you like about Joe Biden?

Speaker 195 Um

Speaker 192 that he's not Trump.

Speaker 139 I mean, that's the whole thing.

Speaker 151 That's their entire strategy.

Speaker 115 If you're curious as to what Joe Biden is trying to do to become president again, you just heard it outlined right there.

Speaker 100 He will not be Donald Trump. Yep.

Speaker 115 At no point in the campaign will he be Donald Trump.

Speaker 107 He might sound like Trump on things like Social Security, but that's a totally different issue, and you should totally ignore that.

Speaker 177 It is fascinating to watch this because

Speaker 3 they are not at all inspired by this guy.

Speaker 87 They are not at all excited.

Speaker 56 I have to tell you,

Speaker 24 I think RFK could make a run for it.

Speaker 41 This is insane, too.

Speaker 3 I know.

Speaker 56 But I do think he's.

Speaker 156 He's at 20% in some of these polls.

Speaker 170 That's insanity for a guy who is just basically,

Speaker 100 you know, look, a long shot.

Speaker 125 He's going to be perceived as a younger guy,

Speaker 154 a different generation.

Speaker 76 How old is he? He's not.

Speaker 19 He's got to be.

Speaker 188 No, he's got to be in his 60s.

Speaker 99 Let's see. Born in 54.

Speaker 138 So, yeah.

Speaker 20 Yeah.

Speaker 44 So, you know, almost 70.

Speaker 23 He's not the typical.

Speaker 23 He's saying exciting things.

Speaker 56 He's got 19%

Speaker 45 with Democrats already.

Speaker 93 That's

Speaker 3 19.

Speaker 105 There's going to be some protest vote.

Speaker 99 Some people will just say no to whoever's at the top of the ticket.

Speaker 117 But I think that's more significant.

Speaker 115 Could just be Kennedy name recognition at this point. And look, Kennedy does.

Speaker 128 People have lost this over the past year or two, but Kennedy aligns very strongly with the hardcore left wing of the Democratic Party.

Speaker 129 This is a man who wants to put people who disagree with him

Speaker 181 on climate in prison.

Speaker 183 This is a person who is outwardly argued for by name, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, to be executed because they're guilty of treason.

Speaker 91 Yeah, that's a little bit hard.

Speaker 72 It was a little harsh.

Speaker 3 It was a little harsh.

Speaker 159 I will say that does make them fit directly into the left wing, the AOC wing of the

Speaker 3 Democratic Party. It does.

Speaker 177 So there is going to be a bunch of people who like that sort of approach.

Speaker 100 And of course, you know, but really all he's been talking about lately has been the vaccine stuff, which has a base on the left as well as the right.

Speaker 117 That's sort of a bipartisan issue.

Speaker 65 And I think it's go back for a long time.

Speaker 72 I will tell you this.

Speaker 32 The thing I like about Joe Biden is he's not RFK Jr.

Speaker 131 So we got that going for us.

Speaker 117 The thing I like about RFK Jr.

Speaker 113 is he's not Joe Biden.

Speaker 106 Yeah.

Speaker 157 So

Speaker 52 basically no one's voting for anyone.

Speaker 76 No.

Speaker 115 And we're all just voting against what the other side is.

Speaker 33 So Hunter Biden was in court yesterday, and

Speaker 97 he is actually

Speaker 65 trying to cry

Speaker 134 poor mouth.

Speaker 37 He actually said, I've only ridden on Air Force One once, which I don't think is true.

Speaker 41 I've only done that once.

Speaker 188 My Porsche has been repossessed.

Speaker 57 No.

Speaker 13 I have no idea what I'm making with my art.

Speaker 39 No idea. Because

Speaker 168 I can't,

Speaker 39 you know, I'm not allowed to see who even bought anything.

Speaker 24 Well, but you probably are allowed to see the check that you're getting from the gallery.

Speaker 83 I'm guessing.

Speaker 23 He said, no, you don't know.

Speaker 41 It's bad.

Speaker 55 I had to sleep on a cot in my dad's room when he went to Ireland.

Speaker 3 Oh, my God.

Speaker 113 Wait, why were you with him in Ireland?

Speaker 93 Right? Right.

Speaker 22 Why'd you go to Ireland?

Speaker 23 Maybe you should get a job if you're so poor.

Speaker 100 We all know that he's lying, right?

Speaker 34 And he's blatantly lying here for

Speaker 139 some purpose. But can I ask a different question here?

Speaker 129 Sure, sure.

Speaker 147 Why don't they just pay this woman off?

Speaker 100 This is an incredibly wealthy family.

Speaker 147 They have the pres, his dad is the president of the United States.

Speaker 170 They don't need this hassle.

Speaker 146 Why would they

Speaker 65 be a child?

Speaker 93 Again.

Speaker 159 You don't want to be punished with a baby.

Speaker 115 But I mean, like, I'm saying, like, take out the actual honorable thing to think about.

Speaker 177 That's not going to be part of the Biden calculus on this.

Speaker 156 I'm saying purely from politics.

Speaker 159 You could pay this woman off for what, a quarter of a million dollars a year?

Speaker 76 Literally nothing to them.

Speaker 159 Just pay her.

Speaker 159 Why?

Speaker 159 If you are a Democratic operative, and again, if you are, you have no soul, so this would make sense to you. Why wouldn't you just pay her off?

Speaker 161 Just give her what she wants.

Speaker 159 Who cares?

Speaker 156 They obviously don't care about this child.

Speaker 159 The media doesn't seem to care if the president of the United States is abandoning his grandchild.

Speaker 115 No one seems to be interested in this.

Speaker 150 No one's asked him one single question about it.

Speaker 62 Why? I don't know.

Speaker 156 But if you're a Democrat, why not just, who cares?

Speaker 159 Just, you know, okay, George, get George Soros over here, donate some money, pay it off.

Speaker 146 Find a way to get this paid off so we don't have to hear from her anymore and we can ignore our grandchild in peace.

Speaker 159 I can't believe that's not their approach.

Speaker 159 It's really cynical, but I am surprised.

Speaker 118 Yeah.

Speaker 150 Why are they fighting this?

Speaker 142 I don't, I,

Speaker 141 I don't know.

Speaker 13 I don't know other than

Speaker 81 maybe,

Speaker 77 maybe it's your mistake.

Speaker 66 You clean it up.

Speaker 21 But that would require a parent

Speaker 125 that is going to let somebody sit with their mistakes.

Speaker 185 And that's not the case.

Speaker 107 Why the family has not been tough love.

Speaker 151 They've been, hey, use my influence to get yourself out of situations, which again, it's not like they feel like if they felt like they were being extorted for a false

Speaker 146 claim of fatherhood here for Hunter, you could understand it.

Speaker 181 But we've already passed that stage.

Speaker 111 Right. Right?

Speaker 159 Like, this is a woman who definitely had sex with your son while he was actually dating your other son's ex-wife.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 156 That happened.

Speaker 115 The tests have all come in.

Speaker 100 This is actually your grandchild, Joe.

Speaker 147 And the fact that he will not acknowledge that.

Speaker 107 And then separately, the Democratic apparatus won't get them out of this trouble for a couple hundred thousand dollars is shocking.

Speaker 83 Look at how much

Speaker 168 the left and Democrats

Speaker 6 hate Donald Trump.

Speaker 90 Oh, my God. They are overlooking

Speaker 141 everything on Joe Biden.

Speaker 143 They've overlooked his massive corruption.

Speaker 11 We're putting our national security at stake because of his relationships with China.

Speaker 42 We have our national security at stake because of what we did in Afghanistan and Ukraine.

Speaker 4 We're torching our economy.

Speaker 133 We're spending way too much money, and

Speaker 127 the only solution is to hurt your job and your wages.

Speaker 79 His son is wildly corrupt.

Speaker 58 We know that the CIA chief now is wildly corrupt and lied to the American people about the Hunter Biden laptop so he could get elected.

Speaker 30 I mean, every criminal thing, everything that anybody who is decent at all

Speaker 179 looks at and goes, this is despicable.

Speaker 74 And he won't even recognize his grandchild.

Speaker 79 And it's not that they don't know.

Speaker 17 They know

Speaker 97 this is just, these are despicable human beings.

Speaker 115 And yet half the country is okay with that.

Speaker 62 They don't even like him. They don't like the job he's doing.

Speaker 20 But they will vote for him again.

Speaker 128 You know, maybe we're answering our own question here.

Speaker 106 You know, why, why don't they pay him this woman off?

Speaker 171 Because they know no one's going to ask.

Speaker 113 And they know they won't be held accountable. And they know no one cares what they do.

Speaker 106 They don't care. I mean, they've committed much worse crimes than this, and no one said anything.

Speaker 145 So why bother?

Speaker 90 Maybe that's the answer.

Speaker 106 They're just so confident that they will never be asked a question about it and never will have to deal with reality that they just

Speaker 116 keep fighting it. Why?

Speaker 3 Why imagine?

Speaker 166 You imagine if we slip through that same wormhole that we slipped through to get to this earth and we went back to the earth we were on, you know, like in 2000, well,

Speaker 45 1980,

Speaker 13 and

Speaker 168 the American people woke up and saw

Speaker 143 this president president for what he was.

Speaker 141 I mean,

Speaker 36 if that ever happens,

Speaker 74 it's going to be a shocking, think about putting this country back on the right track.

Speaker 25 I don't know if it can even be done, but think about what a Herculean task that's going to be.

Speaker 132 to clean all of the corruption up,

Speaker 65 to

Speaker 63 punish the bad guys, to even recognize the bad guys anymore.

Speaker 171 We don't even recognize who the bad guys are.

Speaker 134 What a flip from reality this is going to be.

Speaker 171 Yeah, that's one way to look at it.

Speaker 105 You know what, Glenn, it'll be really interesting to see how this plays out.

Speaker 143 This is what I taught Stu earlier today in the podcast.

Speaker 137 You know, you just look at everything and instead of going, we're doomed, we're dead.

Speaker 19 Hmm.

Speaker 18 It's going to be interesting to see how this works out.

Speaker 97 I'm really anxious to see how this all plays out and,

Speaker 17 you know, and how people learn, you know, the lesson.

Speaker 139 It's sort of a catch-all for all problems.

Speaker 113 And I am completely and fully in it now.

Speaker 22 I am there.

Speaker 93 It's good. It's good.
All right.

Speaker 143 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

Speaker 39 When you say that something is your specialty, what do you mean by that?

Speaker 57 I'm a radio guy.

Speaker 23 I've been doing this since Joe Biden needed a bedpan.

Speaker 43 It's been that long.

Speaker 55 When I call radio my specialty, it means,

Speaker 28 well, not that I'm good at it, but I do it every day.

Speaker 134 It's my full-time gig.

Speaker 8 And I've conned a lot of people, including you, into thinking this is worth listening to.

Speaker 22 Now, those are not the people that we hire and look for at realestate agentsitrust.com.

Speaker 79 Housing markets are a weird place.

Speaker 31 And, you know, if you want the job done, you have to have somebody who this is their specialty.

Speaker 28 This is what they do day in and day out.

Speaker 22 And unlike me, they're good at their job.

Speaker 54 Okay?

Speaker 24 If you're looking to buy or sell, whether it's across the street or across the country, the company that you need to call that will just recommend the right person to you, it's free.

Speaker 176 You just let us know.

Speaker 12 Go on the website, realestate agentsitrust.com, and we are going to find the right person around you.

Speaker 31 If we don't have somebody in your area, we're not going to just recommend somebody.

Speaker 33 These people are vetted six ways to Sunday.

Speaker 153 So you want to find the right agent to help you buy or sell a house?

Speaker 8 It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

Speaker 74 Join the conversation:

Speaker 172 888-727 back.

Speaker 172 The Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 196 Eczema isn't always obvious, but it's real. And so is the relief from EBGLIS.

Speaker 196 After an initial dosing phase, about four in 10 people taking EBGLIS achieve itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks.

Speaker 196 And most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing.

Speaker 191 EBGLIS Libricizumab, LBKZ, a 250 milligram per 2 milliliter injection, is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema.

Speaker 191 Also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies.

Speaker 86 EBGLIS can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to EBGLIS.

Speaker 191 Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe.

Speaker 57 Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems.

Speaker 191 You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with Epglis. Before starting Epglis, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection.

Speaker 196 Searching for real relief? Ask your doctor about Epglis and visit epglis.lily.com or call 1-800-LillyRX or 1-800-545-5979.

Speaker 66 You know, Stu and I have been talking here off and on the air today about, you know, it's going to be interesting.

Speaker 166 It's going to be interesting to see how everybody works out.

Speaker 33 You know, all these things that are going on.

Speaker 188 Wow, I'm anxious to see how that

Speaker 153 ends. Huh? Did you see that?

Speaker 139 Wow. Yeah.
That's how I want to react.

Speaker 18 Yeah. And

Speaker 14 so I said to Stu just a minute ago, well, I would make it even more interesting.

Speaker 79 And he said, I don't know if we want to make it more interesting.

Speaker 4 And I said, no, I mean, in a fun way,

Speaker 23 you know, maybe we lay bets or something.

Speaker 42 Maybe, maybe we, you know, like I offer $1,000 every month.

Speaker 142 And I'm going to give somebody who comes up with the most outrageous prediction of what could happen by the end of the month and you get a thousand bucks if it comes through.

Speaker 119 It seems reasonable.

Speaker 23 Yeah, I mean, because then we could be looking for it.

Speaker 62 We'd be like, aha, this could be the opportunity

Speaker 109 when a rabbit shoots out of his butt and nobody saw it coming.

Speaker 106 Like the classic examples of this would be like aliens

Speaker 113 are discovered.

Speaker 144 And it's like, eh.

Speaker 100 Would that even be that crazy?

Speaker 105 Like, it's kind of already happened almost.

Speaker 59 Yeah, you know, I'm wondering, you know, because you know that thing where they, I can't remember remember what it's called, but that uh

Speaker 44 that the reason why we don't find alien life anywhere is because once you hit the radio wave, then you know you're just a couple of years away from discovering a nuke and then you blow yourself up.

Speaker 44 Well, that clearly didn't happen in that amount of time.

Speaker 93 Our radio waves are out there now.

Speaker 39 When they come here, it will, you know, we might be annihilated.

Speaker 91 However, however,

Speaker 122 maybe it's

Speaker 153 not the nuke, maybe it's AI, which gives you more time.

Speaker 29 And so any planet that has an Elon Musk,

Speaker 64 their people are on another world.

Speaker 17 You know what I mean?

Speaker 66 Without the radio equipment or anything, and they're all stranded on another world.

Speaker 93 Oh, that sounds great.

Speaker 107 Okay.

Speaker 142 Wonderful outcome.

Speaker 23 But it also could be this is why the aliens are coming now because they're like, they're about to do it.

Speaker 19 They're about to do it.

Speaker 133 And they're either here to watch the fireworks show.

Speaker 23 They'd be like, huh, it's going to be interesting to see how these people work this out, isn't it?

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 153 And they'll be like, yes, but blebe,

Speaker 22 it's never worked out on any other planet.

Speaker 81 And you'll like, yeah, but it might.

Speaker 22 Maybe this time they'll do it.

Speaker 100 And Blebe, he's always running his mouth.

Speaker 21 I know.

Speaker 25 So either Blebe is right or the other guy is right.

Speaker 59 And we work it out.

Speaker 31 And maybe they're here because they're like, screw the prime directive.

Speaker 19 We're going to intervene at the last minute.

Speaker 93 Maybe. Maybe that's

Speaker 19 They could.

Speaker 104 Would you be, and I'm being this sincerely, would you be that surprised if aliens landed in the next month or two and said, you guys are going to destroy yourself.

Speaker 26 We're here to help.

Speaker 100 I feel like we'd be on the air saying.

Speaker 150 Like, guys, I feel like we would have

Speaker 159 years ago thought this was a huge story that there's aliens now walking around and they owned a Sabarro in

Speaker 96 Acapulco.

Speaker 182 I think like we would have talked about, it.

Speaker 159 That would have been the biggest story in the news a few years ago, but obviously now Trump just tweeted something.

Speaker 153 Is there a possibility that Bleb is already here? He's running for president and is RFK.

Speaker 73 Is that

Speaker 148 it's the same voice, isn't it?

Speaker 3 I don't know.

Speaker 57 I haven't heard blebe.

Speaker 3 But you've impersonated bleebling impersonation of bleeb.

Speaker 150 See, I would vote bleeb for president.

Speaker 138 I don't know that I want to vote RFK Jr., but I would vote bleeb.

Speaker 154 Blebe for president. Blebe 2024.
I'm in.

Speaker 69 Yeah, I'm in.

Speaker 57 I think he's the only, or the only thing that will can get us there.

Speaker 31 Oh, you call him a thing?

Speaker 22 You don't know his pronouns.

Speaker 148 I know, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 177 That's why I used thing.

Speaker 148 I thought I was being accepting.

Speaker 72 Wow.

Speaker 172 The Glenn Bach program.
