Oh, golly.
Oh, by the way, just some news here.
Before we get into the good news, well, I guess this is good news.
You know, the train company, Norfolk Southern.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They've had some issues recently.
Well, a few.
Yeah.
A few.
I mean, not worth mentioning.
No.
Really, at least for 10 or 11 days.
But
they have had a few problems.
But I've looked them up and I want you to know that they have a very friendly ESG score.
In fact,
their E, the environment, they have less of a risk in environment than they do with social risk.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
Good.
So what are they doing?
Are they currently implementing slavery?
What's their social risk if this is their environmental risk?
No, no, no, no, no.
They're not going to hurt the environment.
They are developing sustainable solutions for both their customers and the planet and to help make the planet more green.
And I think if you look at what's happening by moving all those pesky people out and collapsing that town,
that town's going to be very green soon.
Well,
not necessarily soon.
Yeah, a couple thousand years.
Yeah, then it will be very green.
Very green.
Yeah.
Very green.
And it may glow green for a while.
Might.
So that's a positive.
Yeah, we don't know if there was anything that would make things glow on the train, but who knows?
Maybe tomorrow they'll come out with something else that was on the train.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So they're finding new things all the time.
Right.
That's what scientists and railroads do.
Yeah.
All right.
Let me
let me give you some good news.
And I have really, I do have good news.
Shows that America.
You say you have good news.
That usually means hundreds of millions of people are going to die.
Yeah, but it's less than a billion.
Oh, okay.
So it is good.
All right.
This is actually good news.
California school recently fired.
Now it doesn't start with good news.
It never does.
California school recently fired a Christian teacher after she refused to comply with the district's policies that required her to conceal students' gender transition from parents.
This is good news.
This is good news, okay?
This is Jessica Tapia, former physical education teacher who worked at the
Jarupa Unified School District in Jarupa Valley, California, one of my favorite valleys.
Yeah.
Top six valley.
Yeah.
She said, because of my religious beliefs,
I'm not going to withhold or lie to parents.
I think that's wrong.
Yeah.
Wow.
What a stance.
Yeah.
She said,
I've come to the place where I have to ask myself, am I going to obey the district
with doing things that don't align with my Christian belief and conviction and faith, or am I going to stay true, choose my faith, choose to be obedient the way the Lord has called me to live?
And so
I can't be a Christian and a teacher anymore.
So she went to the school district.
Good news that we're not allowing essentially
Christians to be teachers.
Are you kidding me?
This is great news.
Somebody who is standing up and saying, you know what?
No, I can't be a Christian.
I think this is great.
Wait, so we're going to have our kids are going to be taught by only people who are not Christians
because they they're not they don't I mean that's probably happening a lot more than we would no I'm not but that's a concern so she went now hang on just a second so she didn't quit she didn't quit okay she went to them and said look if the stud if the student this is crazy that you have to say if the student has male genitals I'm not letting them into the female locker room.
Oh my gosh, that the hatred.
Yeah.
It's dripping off of her.
She said, if a student shares information regarding a pronoun preference or thinking that they're maybe the opposite gender of what they biologically are, if they share that information with me, I'm not going to keep that information from parents.
She said, we're talking about 12, 13, 14, 15-year-olds.
I don't believe kids should have this kind of privacy to where their parents are being left out in the dark about very pertinent information about their well-being.
So the school district said, based on your religious beliefs, that you,
this is a quote, based on your religious beliefs, that you cannot be dishonest with parents.
If asked about a student gender identity by a parent, you cannot refer the parent to a counselor, defer the inquiry, or suggest they speak with a student, or otherwise deflect the parent's inquiry.
The district cannot accommodate your religious belief.
They're stating
outwardly that they must lie to parents?
Yep.
Okay.
Yep.
That's good.
To prohibit you from maintaining a student's gender identity and refraining from disclosing a student's gender identity to his, her, their parent or guardian.
She stated going into teaching, she wanted to make an impact and to be a light to kids who are possibly coming from very rough homes like I did when I was a child.
And she said,
I don't believe that that's.
how God's calling us to love people by affirming lies and confusion.
I firmly believe God created a man and a woman, and he made you to be who you are.
When someone has confusion about that, I believe the lies and confusion come from someplace else.
Now, this is good for her.
I am glad that she's leaving.
Her life will be better to be out of the way.
Sorry, you just care about the collective.
You
worry about the kids.
You have the collective communists.
This is why we need the
great because this sounds like a really good case for the Supreme Court.
They fired her for her religious view that she could not lie to the parents.
That doesn't seem like a big, high religious bar.
You know what I mean?
The thou shalt not lie thing is just a good safety thing.
It's a good societal rule, too, right?
It's not just a commandment.
Yeah, let's not collude with the children against their parents.
I think that's just, you know, I didn't, I mean, you know, God could have said that, but I don't remember, hey, thou shalt not collude, you know, with the kids against their parents.
So the parents are nobodies, and then we give the kids to the government.
I, you know, I just didn't hear that.
It's in, if you listen, if you gotta read carefully.
Okay, all right, okay.
I don't know if you covered this the other day, but the, I was fascinated by the story of the TikTok ticks.
You remember the TikTok ticks?
No.
So TikTok, the Chinese Communist Party attempt to sink and destroy our country.
Yes.
During the pandemic, a lot of kids were watching these influencers who
had Tourette's syndrome or claimed to have Tourette syndrome.
And they had all these ticks they developed.
And they were watching them constantly.
And then there was an influx
of these kids who were watching TikTok and then developing these ticks afterward and going to physicians about it.
What we didn't do with them is say, hey, we affirm your Tourette syndrome.
Your delusion here is completely valid.
And the only way to treat this is by saying that you're right about your delusion.
Correct.
We didn't treat it that way.
Instead, we said, hey, actually, you're just watching a lot of TikTok and you should stop watching TikTok.
And they actually tried to counsel these kids through the situation.
You're going to be surprised to hear, then it just came out this week, that...
These kids have all been cured.
Wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
Was it no longer have Tourette synthesis?
Christian conversion therapy.
They had to go to camp.
In some ways, yes, it was.
Yes, it was.
Christian conversion therapy.
It was just common sense.
Yeah.
Well, that's.
And with this situation where we do the opposite and we instead affirm
this delusion of whatever they believe they are, I'm a cat.
Well, they just say, okay, well, then you are a cat.
Yeah.
That doesn't work as well.
Well,
we'll find out when it goes to the Supreme Court because that seems like a great case.
Now, more good news.
Thomas Massey
has just put together a very complicated bill, unfortunately.
He's so
wordy
to terminate the Department of Education.
He's on record now saying,
pass this bill.
We want to kill the Department of Education.
Now, again, it's very wordy.
I'll just give you the bill here.
The whole bill?
The whole bill.
We got it.
The Department of Education shall terminate on December 31st, 2023.
That's it.
Wow.
But I love these these people who say, read the bill.
I mean, he easily could have put 123123 in safe space.
Yeah.
Right?
Right.
He's just, you know, it's called economy of words, Tom.
You got to have a lawyer to read these things to understand it.
Now, it's not obviously going to go anywhere, but I would urge you to call your congressman and say, pass the Massey Education Bill.
Terminate the Department of Education.
I think you need to start sending those messages to Washington
right now.
Now,
or,
or
you can listen to Rachel Levine.
And
Rachel says that some LGBTQI plus two, whatever, children need to be replaced, need to replace their parents with one supportive adult.
Thou shalt not
replace your parents with...
what what's the guy in the dress saying i don't know god i don't know i don't know uh so um
he says you we got to get these kids away from these parents who are like hey maybe you're not a cat okay i'm just saying
uh we could listen to that now or we could listen uh to a representative aaron healy who came out yesterday against the
Family Heritage Alliance, which I know nothing about, but I went to their website.
They don't seem to be bad.
They're for God, they're for country, they're for life.
Okay.
But Representative Aaron Healy kind of agrees with Rachel Levine.
She said the extremist group Family Heritage Alliance said this morning that the safest place for kids are in families that have a married mom and dad.
What a dangerous and un-American belief.
We're here.
Choo-choo!
We're here.
End of the line.
They're saying it out loud now.
Okay.
All right.
That is incredible.
You're looking it up, aren't you?
I'm looking at, I'm trying to find out anything about this group.
Is there something that we don't know?
Well, there might be.
That sentence, though, is not an extremist sentiment.
No, no, but it is un-American.
You would agree with that.
I would not.
Families are un-American.
Come on.
I think they're pretty central to the American experience.
Fundamental building block of society.
Okay.
Okay, crazy man.
And one last piece of good news before we break.
I've got more.
I've got more.
Here's good news.
And by the way, the last one I consider good news because they're saying it out loud now.
They're saying that having a married mom and dad as the ideal family is just un-American.
Okay, well, I don't think we live in the same America.
And I'm glad everybody knows it.
Because while I think I grew up in a broken family, yeah, yeah, tell me I turned out well.
I grew up in a broken family.
Families come in all different shapes and sizes, but the best family is one with a married mom and dad who love each other and their children.
And a lot of people don't get that.
They don't get that.
We should be doing everything we can to get people to marry each other before having kids, you know, and stay together because they love each other.
That's what we should be working on.
But one more
last piece of good news here:
there was this Christian college that had a service in their chapel,
and they just ask for a
prayer uh
uh offering you know anybody who wants to come up what do they what do they call that at the end uh where they just they ask you to come up i'm sorry i'm i'm not an evangelical but it's a an altar call and come up to the altar and lay hands on you you know i i go to uh
i go to my church but then uh my kids are going to uh another church and so i go with them as well i go to Gateway and I love it.
I love it.
And they do an altar call and they're great.
Well, this
particular altar call
happened at this college chapel and
it hasn't stopped.
It has been going now for seven days, 24 hours a day.
It hasn't stopped.
People keep coming up to the altar and praying.
And now, people who are praying over people are starting, they're saying this is the beginning of a revival.
And
they're not doing anything.
They're not promoting it.
They're not doing anything.
They really actually want it to stay kind of a small, organic kind of thing.
But it's just chairs in a room filled with people, and people are coming now from all over the country.
That
is some of the best news I have heard.
Now
I'm going to show you how the press is
framing this.
It's kind of interesting.
We'll do that in just a second.
I want to talk to you about Mantis X.
This is the first product that my team of
protectors, and I've got a sharpshooter on my team from the Marines.
I also have a Royal Marine.
He was some know, big wig, and I think he actually had to wear wigs because he was over in Scotland.
And don't they wear wigs still?
But he was some muckety muck in the Royal Marines, tough as nails, they both are.
This is the first time that my protectors have said,
this is unbelievable, because they've had all kinds of experience with guns.
It's called the Mantis X.
If you go to the gun range, I hope you're going with the Monopoly guy because you're going to need all kinds of money for your bullets.
And there are targets that you can shoot that will help you.
But Mantis X is incredible.
It's something you put on the gun.
It's almost like a laser sight, but you can aim it anywhere.
And it evaluates your trigger pull and shows you, either in live fire or dry fire, it shows you what you're doing wrong and it gives you a score.
And it not only gives you the score, it then tells you right when you're pulling the trigger, you're moving it down, you're moving it aside, you're whatever you're doing wrong, it analyzes.
So you are guaranteed to get better.
94% of shooters improve within 20 minutes.
It's called Mantis X.
It is really good.
Really good.
Start improving today.
MantisX.com.
That's mantisx.com.
10 seconds, station ID.
Oh, boy.
You found some disturbing stuff on this organization that says we should have families.
We should just, thankfully, the Southern Poverty Law Center is here for us to make sure we know about all these extremist organizations like this.
I hate those organizations that they hate.
They've got pretty, pretty detailed stuff on all the awful things they've done.
And this is a 2018 release they've done about this organization against the is it the uh family uh let's see what is it uh south dakota it's in south dakota south dakota uh family heritage alliance uh-huh uh-huh exactly
uh-huh notice you didn't bring up the the radicals they bring to speak there oh boy yeah who's been there uh-huh how about uh lieutenant general william jerry boykin oh not jerry boykin
you mean the guy who's one of the founders
of uh
what was it, the Green Berets?
No, it wasn't the Green Berets.
One of the elite groups, that guy?
Don't even try to distract people with what.
How about Trevor Louden?
He's been on the show before, and
because we wanted to expose him as a hater.
And the pinnacle of hate.
The king of hate.
I haven't spoken there.
No, not.
Yo, yes, right.
I don't know.
The prince of hate.
I just want to call him the queen of hate.
Yeah, okay.
David Barton.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my.
Yeah.
Well, he's a, according to the Sun and Poverty Law Center, he's a known terrorist.
A known
terrorist.
They call him pseudo-historian David Barton.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I don't know if this artist, but I guess I'm not.
David Barton would not be speaking there if it was some actual extremist organization.
Well, they believe in the family.
So you make your own.
You make your own choice.
You make your own choice.
Anyway, the review on this Kentucky Kentucky Ashbury University revival.
It's hysterical to see how NBC is reporting this.
And then they raise up their hands and they're praying on one another and putting hands on people.
It's just weird.
The Glenn Beck program.
Keep it up.
Keep it up.
3,000 people were there yesterday.
People are coming from all over the country.
All right, Pre-Born.
Here's some more good news.
Pre-born is a ministry and it has saved over over 200,000 babies from being aborted.
200,000.
In just the last year, this audience made sure that 54,000 or 54,000
under 60,000 babies survived.
They are they their moms came in wanted an abortion they changed their mind and those children are born and being taken care of That's amazing.
That is a miracle and it all comes from you They ask you to sponsor one child, one ultrasound.
Now, the chance is about 60 to 80%
that when a mom says I want an abortion, they get an ultrasound.
They change their mind and say, no, I want to keep the baby.
$28 pays for that.
This is sponsored by Pre-Born.

Pat
next.
Welcome to the program
from
really a miraculous few days, last week, Pat Gray
fell ill and we found that, what was it, Thursday?
Did you go in?
I went in Tuesday.
Tuesday.
He went in Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, we hear at one o'clock in the morning, Pat's in full kidney failure.
And it doesn't look good.
And we're like,
all right, that doesn't sound good.
And there was no good news.
And then we couldn't talk to him for like, you know, a day or so.
He's like, my kidneys have shut down.
And so
exactly what I was warning about.
Now, Pat, I apologized to you when, was it Saturday when I saw you?
I apologized because I broke.
A promise with you.
And we made a promise, what, 1990?
1990.
That if either of us were dead or dying, the other would exploit it for ratings purposes.
Yes.
Or for wealth.
We've had that.
Yeah, right.
Like,
Jay, I died.
Listen to me.
I want
everyone in this audience to know: if I'm hit by a bus, I die of a heart attack, George Soros finally gets me, whatever it is, okay?
If Stu is not on the air, and Pat, if he's alive, but I got an update on that.
If he's alive.
Do you have an update on him being alive, even though he's sitting right here?
Yes, I do.
I'm a doctor, man.
That's true.
And they are not exploiting my death.
And they're not going to have tears being shed.
But if they're not finding people who are crying and putting them on the air the very next day.
Even if it's about other things.
They are not good human beings.
Okay.
Right.
Look, this is something I think we all understand.
We all understand.
Yeah, you've known that for a long time.
I have.
I've known this for a long time.
Now, you guys started this long before I was
part of the team here.
Yeah.
But I've heard about it multiple times.
Yes.
And we're dead serious.
Are you not dead serious?
Yeah.
So it's
part of the foundation of the show.
It is.
Exploit other members' deaths.
Yes.
Okay.
Yes.
It's the way we deal with things.
So anyway, so
I came in on Thursday morning.
Was it Thursday morning?
No, Wednesday morning.
And Pat's in full kidney failure and he could die.
That's the news we have.
Okay.
May not be coming back.
And I said,
Stu,
I got a problem
because
we have to do the right thing here
is the wrong thing.
I should go on the air today, talk about how he's at death's door and talk about his cookie company, Cackie Cookies.
Yes.
And say
it definitely was not the cookies.
And I will tell you this,
Jackie, Pat Pat was such a, even if this isn't true, such a horrible investor.
He's got nothing.
Jackie and the kids, even though they're already out of the house, are going to be out of the house.
Okay.
Please go to, what is it, Kexie?
Kexie.com.
Kexie.com.
Help him through this impossible
situation.
And the family.
And so
we had a serious discussion, Pat.
And Sarah and Stu,
I said, what do you, because I was really torn, I didn't, you know, I didn't remember if Jackie was fully aware of our deal.
Yeah, I, I'm, I think we should make our spouses aware of it.
Definitely, definitely.
So, uh, so, so Stu says, and Sarah both say,
might be too soon.
Okay.
And I said, oh, you think?
And they're like, no, you know, I mean,
it might be too soon.
There was a thought of like, maybe he actually is dying, But that's the deal.
And
this is part of the charm of knowing Pat Gray.
If you need to get in touch with him and get information,
you can't.
That's not something that can occur.
It's the same with Glenn.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Glenn.
That's the same.
You've got to call Glenn's wife.
And if his wife is not near him, you still can't get him.
But I want way less information about Glenn's private life.
Like, I would love to know much less.
And I know too much.
Right.
All right.
Pat, on the other hand.
That infection is all benefiting.
I know.
Congratulations.
Pat, on the other hand,
I'm like texting Keith.
You know, I'm just like, hey, is Pat alive?
Like, I, I was like, and we didn't know at that point.
And so there was never a moment in which.
And you should know this, Pat, as your friend.
I never at any time suggested we should not exploit this to get you money through Pexy Cookies.
There was never a moment in which I suggested that.
Nor did Sarah.
He split the seed of doubt.
Oh, all right.
Oh, he was like,
I don't know, Glenn.
You might be viewed as a horrible human being by his wife.
I mean, I did mention, and I, to be fair, I was concerned about mocking your condition.
Yeah.
Okay.
I wasn't concerned.
Because I thought you were going to die.
Well, no, you definitely said you were going to.
No, I said I was going to exploit it.
No,
exploitation, I'm totally fine with.
My concern was
actually mocking your potential actual death.
How was I going to mock it?
Well, it was more of the mocking his situation than exploiting it for.
Like, I'm fine with you joking about, hey, we need to make sure we get, you know, you need to go to kexie.com.
I was going to say, I believe he will be dead
soon.
Next couple of...
Maybe during this show.
Yeah, I think that might be.
Maybe during the show.
And you never know.
This could be your last chance to get a cookie while i am still alive right but like jackie so go to thefuxi.com they're jackie's recipes there's the kexy.com will long
do not listen to that liar now listen i'm the one in the kitchen all the time
i've never seen you i i always have an apron on so here's yeah so here's what happened you go to the hospital uh you have a kidney stone yeah Your kidneys are in total shutdown failure.
Yeah.
Right.
I had acute kidney injury injury that brought on the failure.
And then you also,
then you also have your blood sugar at 700.
Which I had no idea.
Yeah.
About.
You've been diabetic now for.
Who knows?
I don't know.
Okay, but they say probably a couple of months.
They said at least three months.
Right.
And they, and did they not say you should be dead?
Yeah.
And did the doctor not sit down with you and Jackie when he came?
He ran in tests.
In the emergency room, he came in and said, sat down.
You are a very,
very sick man.
I'm like, well, I know I got a kidney stone.
It really hurts.
Right.
He's like, no, it's way beyond that.
Oh,
okay.
So that's when I went to the intensive care unit.
And so, first of all, in all seriousness, what's the outlook here?
Is everything looking okay?
He refuses to answer that question because it's very sensitive.
Thank you.
Pat.
There's head loss, Stu.
May it be legal to ask him.
May I be a little more friendly and ask is your kidney function back up?
It is.
Could this kidney function,
unbeknownst to you,
suddenly plummet and stop working at any moment?
At any time.
I want you to go to Kexie Cookies right now and order some cookies.
These are the best cookies.
Kexi.com.
Kexi.com.

Wait, you can't?
No.
Oh, no.
Oh, my gosh, no.
You can't eat cookies anymore?
No.
He can't have.
He's a diabetic now.
Ice cream.
None of that stuff.
Ice cream, you cat.
Pass it to me.
Listen to me.
Shush shush.
Listen to me, audience.
Okay?
Pat will die without ice cream.
It'll happen.
It will.
He will die without ice cream.
Enjoy it for him with a great cookie.
Kexi.com.
Kexi.com.
Please, before time runs out.
And this, the hospital bills.
You had hospital bills, didn't you?
Huge.
They're huge,
huge hospital bills.
You're not going to answer about insurance because it's bad.
I'm just saying.
Whatever it is.
Whatever it is, it's bad.
Kexi is really.
I'm pretty sure I have the same insurance you can do.
No, no, you want to say
the only hope is kexy.com.
Kexi.
That's a good point.
Thank you.
They provide insurance.
Does Kexi also, is it cookies and an insurance at kexi.com?
I refuse to answer that because it doesn't even seem like a fair question.
No, that's true.
Doesn't even seem
so, Pat, as we wheel you back out,
we're glad you're alive.
Thank you.
That was scary, man.
I'm serious.
That literally was scary.
Stop terrifying.
Stop doing that.
Yeah.
Stop it.
I'd like to.
I'd like to very much stop doing that.
Yeah.
I will say the day before all this happened,
you know, I look at we have glass windows in front of me and I can see people coming in and out.
And at one point, Pat was walking up the stairs and I said to Glenn, that does not look like a healthy individual.
I know.
You look like you were like.
And that was the day before.
Oh, yeah.
And you barely got up the stairs.
I got off the air and walked over to you and we had a conversation.
I'm like, are you okay?
Yeah.
And
no, you were in so much pain.
Yeah,
how much of that pain was your kidneys going, help?
Probably all of it.
Oh, my God.
Probably all of it.
It's so dangerous.
When you live in pain like this all the time,
you know, pain is kind of used to it.
Yeah, and pain is your thing that, you know, you go, I should have that checked.
And your alert system.
It's your alert system.
And when your alert system is gone.
it's like the car alarm that goes off every single morning out in front of your house.
You just don't even check anymore.
And that's why Pat could die within the hour.
And you should.
Are you out of pain, Pat?
No.
He's not.
No way.
I'm not.
So he has no alert system.
He probably is dying.
He's dying slowly right now.
We don't know.
Slowly or quickly.
It could be
either.
Kexi.
Kexi.com.
Okay, this is too much even for me now.
Get your cookie.
It's too much even for me.
It's not for Pat.
Not for Jackie.
No, you're a selfish bastard.
You want to leave her penniless?
No, I do not.
Gosh.
No, I do.
I'm just trying to help.
You're right.
So forgive my ignorance here, but so legitimately you can't have any of these things ever again?
No.
Well, I mean,
I'm told by a dietitian that that
shouldn't be the way I look at things.
That's like Joe Biden's suicide,
Joe Biden says we shouldn't look in inflation as the price of eggs going up.
Right.
Yes.
Look at it a different way.
They're eggs.
You got them.
Money grows on trees.
There you go.
I mean, could I have a half a cup of ice cream every
month or something?
Probably.
Right, right.
You will die.
But could I eat one of my cookies?
Probably not.
Why?
Is there a bite or two?
Are there sugars?
There are Kexi cookies?
Maybe a tad.
A tad.
Yeah.
Okay.
Maybe a Tad.
So what
Kexie.
The reason why Pat is in so much trouble is they had to buy the entire island of Hawaii for the sugar cane.
Wow.
Aggressive investment.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So
this is just like total.
Is the solution to this like medication?
Is it life change?
Is it
all of it to me?
I mean, what part of diabetes don't you understand?
I probably will soon, so I'm trying to learn.
All right.
All right.
Pat, welcome back.
We were concerned, and so were a lot of people that
just hadn't thought of dialing
for cookies and going online and getting kexi.
There's only one way to soothe the pain of
a close beloved friend
in kidney failure.
And of course, that's kexi.com.
You are sick.
This was a serious situation.
You are sick.
I apologize for him.
Thank you.
All right.
Back in just a second.
First, I actually did ask Jackie.
I was over at their house on Saturday and I'm like, Jackie, so you'll understand, right?
You'll understand.
She's like, oh, I'm fine with it.
So you didn't do the cookie thing.
And I'm like, well, no.
So now I'm in trouble with Jackie for taking your advice.
Rough greens,
how's your dog doing?
Could he use a cookie?
Well, probably not.
Might kill him, at least one of the chocolate cookies.
Rough greens.
Right now, you can get and sprinkle it on your dog's food.
It's full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, everything.
If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in Rough Greens.
The folks at Rough Greens are so confident your dog is just going to love this, and I am confident you're going to see results.
You should get your first bag free.
They're going to send it to you.
Make sure your dog likes it.
Just feed them for a couple of days and see if they'll eat it.
If they'll eat it, you're going to start to see healthy changes in your dogs over the next coming months.
It is amazing.
We started seeing results almost immediately,
but over the
probably over the first year and a half, he became a completely different dog.
It's RoughGreens, R-U-F-F-Greens.com, roughgreens.com/slash Beck, or call 833-Glenn33.

The Glenn Beck Program.
Welcome to the Glen Beck program.
There's a lot of stuff going on in Ohio.
We're going to get to
next hour.
Also, we have one of the guys who was
the commander of Space Force, which is a real thing.
I mean, have we ever done, like,
when we came up with the Air Force,
was there a time where like,
that's a real thing?
Do you think there had to be?
Because we came up with the Air Force, and I think we were still using, you know, biplanes.
But I think they were, I think that was when it was still part of the Navy or something or Army.
There's a Malcolm Gladwell book that talks about the history of this.
And it's a really good book, by the way.
But I wish I could think of the name of it off the top of my head.
But it was sort of mocked at the beginning, even inside the military.
Like the idea that
you'd have
planes flying over with precision bombing was kind of derided at one time, at least at least at some level.
So, yeah, the Space Force thing sounds
kind of bizarre.
Right.
And I think,
of course, there's a Steve Carell series named after it.
Right.
And I think the only reason why there's a Steve Carell series named after it is because Donald Trump was the one who said, I want a Space Force.
Right, totally.
Yeah.
So everybody made it into a joke.
But anyway,
he is the former Space Force Lieutenant Colonel.
He's formally that because he spoke out against CRT and everything else.
Oh, my gosh, that's the most important thing next to global warming for our military.
And he's going to be on with us because
last night's special about China, people need to understand China has a very clear
plan of attack, and we're already fighting this war with China.
You need to be aware of it so we can not fall prey to everything that they're doing.
We'll do this when we come back.
The Glenn Beck program.
Let me talk to you a little bit about something that my Patriot Supply has been working on for the last few years.
When we had massive power outages here in Texas, nobody was prepared for this and nobody's prepared for the cold either.
And I was talking on the air.
People are, you know, freezing here.
They can't cook.
What are you doing?
um that's when my patriot supply unbeknownst to me went to work on something they were trying to find how could you heat you know at least one room in your home and cook something on a cook stove inside and be safe that's when they came up with vesta i mean it actually took it took them a couple of years to get it right but it is it will heat a 200 square foot room without smoke, toxic fumes, without any danger, and you can cook on it as well.
It's really amazing.
Please check it out.
It's not real expensive
and it just might be perfect for camping or camping indoors if there's a problem.
Get your Vesta today, mypatriotsupply.com, mypatriotsupply.com.
We got no room to compromise.
We gotta stand together as a car survived.
Stand up, stand, and hold the light.
It's a new day, our time to rise.
What you're about to hear
is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
My favorite story of the day, perhaps, at least in the running, is a story about Yuri Geller, you know, the psychic guy, the spoonbender.
He lives in Israel and he said the United States is making a huge, huge mistake by blowing up all these UFOs and shooting them out of the sky because aliens are visiting us and they're coming in peace.
They're coming in peace.
Look, Erie, I didn't even know you were still around, but hey, congratulations on that.
But also, may I just point out, if they've traveled light years to get here, I don't think they're using balloons to come down.
And especially balloons that couldn't protect themselves.
They managed to get here from Alpha Centauri, and then they come in a little balloon, and they're like, oh, crap, that's a a missile coming our way.
Oh my gosh.
Why don't we talk about what those balloons really could be and the fact that China is already
fighting a war with us and has been for a while.
If you missed last night's special, it's a must-see.
We showed you a manual, a plan made by China in 1999.
And it's how do we defeat the United States of America by 2025?
China 2025, how do we do it?
Well, they're doing it, and we showed it to you last night, that we are already in a Cold War with China.
I wanted to get Matthew Lohmeier on today.
He is a former Space Force Lieutenant Colonel, and he is also the author of Irresistible Revolution.
He knows a few things about space, about China.
I don't know about aliens and balloons, but we'll find out.
Matthew Lohmeyer joins us in 60 seconds.
First, Richard wrote in about his experience with Relief Factor.
He says, this has been a great product for me.
My back is now pain-free after just a few weeks of taking Relief Factor.
It works and I will continue to use it.
Richard, thank you.
Sounds like you got your life back, which is the best of all possible outcomes.
And I can tell you from personal experience, I feel the same way Richard did.
I didn't think it would work for me.
But if you're dealing with actual pain, you or somebody that you love, please give Relief Factor a try.
Three-week quick start, $19.95.
It works on your inflation and inflation, inflammation.
It attacks it from four different directions.
Thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor and 70% of them go on to order more after the trial pack.
So what do you have to lose?
Try it.
ReliefFactor.com.
Get your life back.
Call 1-800, the number 4 relief.
1-800, the number 4 relief.
Relief Factor.
Feel the difference.
Matthew Lohmeyer is on with us.
Hello, Matthew.
How are you?
Glenn, I'm well, thank you.
It's good to talk to you.
Now, I should say thank you, first of all, for your courage.
You had a nice position as a lieutenant colonel at Space Force, and you came out and started talking about the dangers of CRT and what was being done by the Pentagon, and they didn't like that very much.
Yeah, well, thanks for first bringing up this.
I did have a good position, so to speak, and I was in command of our nation's space-based missile warning enterprise, which implies senior military leaders at some point did, in fact, trust me to be a good leader and to make proper strategic assessments and whatnot.
But the fact is, I didn't just write an expose or a book that I then made public without first bringing up some of my concerns with senior military leaders themselves.
The entire chain of command of the Space Force
had
been aware of what should properly be characterized as overt left-wing political talking points, anti-American sentiment in the military workplace.
And I was bringing that to their attention, which included Marxist-rooted critical race theory in the form of what we call diversity and inclusion trainings.
But they agreed with me that it was a big problem.
But the fact is, who are you going to hold accountable for it?
Are we in the proper climate that we've created for ourselves to hold some of these activists accountable?
And apparently the answer was no, we weren't in a position to try and hold them accountable.
We were afraid.
And so that led to a formal written Inspector General's complaint, which was dismissed
right during the election season, in fact.
And so I wrote a book about it.
I was in a unique position in uniform to see what was happening within the ranks of the military and how divisive that ideology can be.
I've often said what Marxism does to someone in China, it will do to an American.
And CRT, as we're increasingly aware, destroys everything it touches.
So it was important to talk up about that.
But we've got, as you've mentioned, bigger concerns on the horizon and happening in the country at the moment.
Well, before we leave this subject,
today I found found out that the recruiting for the military is down 25%
off goal.
And I saw what the military said.
They said, that's because the youth, you know, they just
don't see the military as relevant.
Really?
How come all of a sudden, after Afghanistan and after the CRT nonsense,
Your recruiting went down through the tubes?
That didn't play a role?
Well, yeah, you know what?
One of the things, it's easy to tell at a glance at any given moment how our recruiting efforts are doing, but what it's not easy to assess real time at a glance is how our retention efforts are doing.
And that's often left out of the headlines.
But you know, I talk to service members all the time.
They reach out both thanking me for my book and also seeking for help, quite frankly, in how to navigate the current politicized workplace in the uniformed services.
But they are telling me, and this is anecdotal, I get it, but it's real world on the ground intel, that they and a bunch of people that are currently in uniform,
their active duty service commitments aren't up yet, but when they are up, they're going to be getting out of the service.
And so not only do we face recruitment issues, we're going to have a really difficult time this year and in the next year retaining.
folks who have served for a very long time.
It's a really tough position to be in.
And it's not just COVID's fault.
And it's not,
you know, pick the issues that senior defense officials want to point a finger at and shame and blame.
It's the very policies that are being pushed down the pipe right now and foisted upon our service members that's hurting morale and disincentivizing them for continued service.
We're talking to former Space Force Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lohmeyer.
You can find him at matthewlowmeyer.com or follow him on Twitter at Matthew Lohmeyer.
I want to switch now to the balloons that we've had.
I mean, you as, you know, you were
in charge of our space missile defense.
Do you think we're shooting aliens out of the sky in balloons?
You know, I'm open to a lot of ideas, but
I tell you the entirety.
The timing of all of this is really interesting as well.
One of the things that's become quite clear over the last 10 days is that senior military leaders, Jim Mattis included apparently, and White House officials have known about Chinese spy balloons for years violating the sovereignty of countries around the globe and potentially including our own, and apparently not informing the sitting commander-in-chief at the time.
Why we've decided to start shooting them out of the sky over North America now is in fact curious.
The timing is curious, and perhaps the timing matters.
It almost always does.
And perhaps it's really convenient.
This sounds like conspiracy theory, but in fact, it's not.
In fact, we've been trained for the past couple of years to ask important questions.
Perhaps it's really convenient to have those shootdowns in the headlines right now instead of any number of other things that have been in the headlines.
I mean, there's been a classified document scandal at Joe Biden's residence.
There are more revelations about Hunter Biden's corruption with his dad while he was the vice president and in dealings with Middle Eastern countries and in China than at any other time that we've known of before now.
And we've got information that's coming to light about Jim Biden's dealings with Assad.
We've got a well-stitched reporting that came from Seymour Research.
Do you believe that?
Well, I think it's entirely plausible.
And
that's important.
I mean, the guy's done...
phenomenal reporting for decades, and some of the details that he shares in an interview that I just watched yesterday are entirely plausible.
And in fact, you know, you take a look back earlier last year and Joe Biden, because he can't help himself, is making statements about the Nord Stream 2 pipeline ceasing to exist if Russia,
in fact, invades Ukraine.
They do, and then the Nord Stream II pipeline ceases to exist, at least temporarily.
And then, of course, there was the imminent release of
the Jeffrey Epstein visitor logs and lists.
And so all of that is swirling about in headlines.
And then the shoot-downs come.
Now, I think that the first balloon that we shot down was in fact a spy balloon from China.
They essentially admitted as much.
What do they get that they couldn't get on a satellite?
Well altitude matters.
Every country who has a space-faring capability is engaged in spying on our adversaries.
But you do that outside of the sovereign airspace of nations and in space.
And we do that from low Earth orbit with
optical capabilities, and we do it from higher up as well.
But the closer you are to the Earth, the fact of the matter is the better images you're able to take.
But what's most concerning is not just more images.
I'm guessing there's enough, I shouldn't say I'm guessing, there are enough images the world over.
It's like, what good does one more image do?
The fact is, depending on what capabilities were aboard that first balloon that we shot down, I think it was on the 4th of February,
there's any number of other other signals, transmissions, code that could have been either interfered with, tampered with, or received or retrieved by the Chinese Communist Party.
And so is this a first-time event?
Likely not, apparently.
But it's totally bogus that we were told as the American people that the concern was for the American people on the ground, and that's why we weren't shooting it out of the sky and we're letting it traverse the entirety of the country.
I mean, any American citizen who's been up in a commercial airliner can take a look around and tell you that most places over the continental United States don't have people living there.
I mean, it's just desolate.
And the moment that thing left overhead any major U.S.
city, it should have been brought down.
And it didn't need to be obliterated.
I mean, we could have just brought it to David's and brought it down and kept it intact.
and tried to be transparent with the American people about what it is that we think we saw.
And yet we didn't do any of that.
We shoot it down over water, send it to FBI headquarters of all things, and then complain that we can't quite recover all of the capabilities that were aboard the balloon.
I mean, here's something that's important as a principle for your listener to keep in mind.
In relative peacetime, it's difficult enough, as we've seen, to stitch together an accurate view of the things that are taking place in global politics.
But when you're talking relative wartime, increased and heightened conflict, it's going to be nearly impossible because deception is an important part of grand strategy.
I unfortunately think we're getting deception from our own government to our own people.
And, you know, one of those things is that China is the new model, which I believe they believe.
But that, you know,
that they're not hostile to us.
There is plenty of evidence that they are fighting a war that we refuse to involve ourselves or even recognize.
And we're going to pay a high price for this.
Do you think that's right or wrong?
I think it is right.
In fact,
you almost,
okay.
If I was Xi Jinping,
I would try to avoid a shooting match with the United States at all costs.
In fact, I didn't see the show that you had mentioned that you'd done last night,
but you reference a 1999 manual.
I presume you're talking about the work called Unrestricted Warfare.
Yes.
We've translated it into English by these two Chinese colonels.
Nothing in that book, the overarching premise of the strategy to defeat the West and the United States in particular is that nothing is off the table as far as how you pursue the destruction of the United States.
It doesn't have to be direct kinetic, conventional warfare and tactics.
And so again, the American people have have to ask themselves the question: must military force be used to destroy a country?
And the answer is, of course not.
And the Chinese are aware of that.
And so, to your point, Xi Jinping, more than frankly, many American people are willing to acknowledge at this point, is well aware of the fact that we're in a kind of cold civil war here at home ourselves.
And so, that combination, in combination with the fact that we are indeed in a new
Cold War with China and the Chinese Communist Party and Xi Jinping is a terrible combination.
And if I was him, I'd sit and watch
our own disintegration from within our own borders.
I'd watch bad policy decisions being made by people like Joe Biden and the Biden administration.
And I'd cheer that on and I'd influence it in every possible way that did not involve direct kinetic operations so that I could emerge the great super, the benevolent superpower who didn't need to shed a drop of blood to rise to preeminence in the world stage.
Not only does that allow him to keep some semblance of a reputation intact, it allows him to make claims about the superiority of their worldview and ideology, the communist, the Marxist, the Maoist worldview.
And it was superior to the capitalist worldview.
And look, they crumbled under the weight of their own foolishness while we emerged the global hegemon, not just a regional hegemon, but the global hegemon.
All right, back in just a second.
This is a fascinating conversation.
I'm going to go back to space here in a minute.
Real estate agents, I trust.
It is an underappreciated fact that trust is hard to come by.
And I think everybody's starting.
I mean, name the people you trust.
Name the people in business that you trust.
Any business.
When you're trying to sell your home, buy a new home, or even worse, do both at the same time, it is important
that you trust the real estate agent you're doing business with and that they have earned that trust.
Well,
we knew this would be a problem and I always had a hard time finding the right real estate agent, didn't know how to do it.
We started a company that just looked at the metrics of real estate agents.
How do they work?
The successful ones, what do they do?
Or
is there any through line there?
And there is.
There's a lot.
One of them is they're people of their word.
So we started looking for those kind of real estate agents that listen to this program so we could recommend them to you.
This is a free service to you.
We just want you to interview them and see if they're not the people that you can really trust in a time when there is a lack of trust.
It's real estate agents I trust.
The name says it all: realestate agents i trust.com.
10 seconds station ID.
We are talking to Matthew Lohmeyer, former Space Force Lieutenant Colonel, a hero in my book,
about
everything that's going on right now in the world.
Matthew,
a quick question.
Do you see war
as something we are blindly marching towards right now?
That's entirely possible.
If you take a look at the National Security Strategy and the National Defense Strategy, both documents are clear that the United States considers China a top security and defense priority.
Now, we're not the War Department anymore, we're the Defense Department, and we're very careful in how we approach a lot of these things.
But the fact is, that's been true for a number of years.
We are in a Cold War with China now, and it's easy to look back in retrospect at the USSR, U.S.
first Cold War, and kind of paint it into a neat picture.
But the fact is,
this Cold War idea is based upon an ideological, a geopolitical struggle for global influence.
And just like the first Cold War, we're involved in an ideological and geopolitical struggle for global influence with China.
And they consider themselves at war with the United States.
They're just going to be careful about how they approach that.
I've got about 90 seconds left, and I just have to ask you.
I've seen more stuff on UFOs come from the Pentagon
than ever before.
And, you know, the people that I talk to, I strangely find myself at a place going, I think that we may be headed towards a time when we're going to be visited by somebody.
Do you believe?
Do you believe that?
You need to give me more time than the remaining 60 seconds.
All right, can I ask questions like that?
It's funny.
I was just chatting with some folks last night about this.
You know, we're quick to want to believe in something like alien visitors from another star system or another planet, and slow to believe anymore, even stories from the Bible, that angels have, in fact, come and visited the Earth.
Now, did they come in balloons?
Absolutely not.
We've got an increasing global
military threat from advanced nations all over.
It's far more likely that much of what people have been seeing has to do with governments.
Now, that said, I'm entirely open to the idea that, of course, intelligent life exists out there.
But to the point you made earlier, are they going to come in their
super advanced spacecraft just to get shot down over a field in the United States and say, well, shoot, we didn't anticipate that the Americans had missiles.
I mean, so there's a lot of easy,
speculative conclusions we can jump to.
But,
often the simple,
realistic answer is more likely the right one, and governments are at work right now vying for power.
And so much of what we're going to see in the headlines has to do with that, and probably not aliens.
But if you want to get a visit from aliens, maybe
get yourself some religion and pray a little bit more.
Good for you.
Good for you.
Matthew Lomeyer, thank you so much.

American Financing NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
By the way, we go to Ohio next for a couple of updates on a couple of things.
Mortgage rates right now might actually be a little lower than you think.
They've been coming down lately.
They're actually in the fives at the moment.
And if that doesn't seem very low to you, consider the average credit card rate is 20 to 21%.
That is a ton of interest every time you swipe that credit card.
If you are a homeowner, Would you please just find out if maybe some sort of a refi from American Financing, a cash out refi, would be good where you can take out some of the money and just pay off those credit cards, anything that is not 5% interest?
The average person that is doing business now with American Financing is saving about $700 a month, $700

You can get that special on China that Glenn was talking about at Glenn TV.
Glenn,
I'm Blazetv.com/slash Glenn from Okotis, Glenn.
I have to tell you, what's going on in Palestine, Ohio, is just sickening, just sickening.
They had a meeting with the public, and it didn't go well.
But you'll be happy to know that the train company has a higher ESG score than Tesla.
They are friendlier to the environment than Tesla.
Just want to throw that out.
I wanted to talk to you about something else that's going on in Ohio at the state house.
And this is so important
that everyone in Ohio and everyone all around the country get involved in this because
this is the fight that will determine how things happen during the presidential election.
Ron Ferguson is a Ohio state representative.
He's a Republican and he's in the middle of this and can explain it.
But first, Ron,
can you give us any news at all on the train derailment?
Yeah, Glenn.
So I'm actually looking at the Ohio River right now.
I'm about 20 miles south of East Palestine.
My county is directly south on the Ohio River.
So whatever happens in the river in East Palestine floats down our way.
People are obviously concerned.
They're using bottled water for themselves for their pets for those kind of things.
So
we're looking for more information.
We've certainly got some so far, but not as much as we'd like to have.
And
hopefully, folks like you all around the country can continue to shed light on it.
Well, we are,
you know, if we have to fund it ourselves, we will.
But I think somebody needs to do some independent testing away from this.
I think it's a sham organization that usually gives the
corporate response because they're brought in by the railroads and help them patch things up.
If I live in that town anywhere near the river, I want to know what's in there, what is seeping through, and what are we breathing in?
Let's talk here about
what's happening with the Speaker of the House.
Can you boil this down in just a couple of minutes?
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, what happened here in Ohio is what we call the Gang of 22,
basically, you know, what people would consider to be rhinos, made a power play deal for their own personal gain, sold out Republican conservative values.
We were all supposed to elect the conservative candidate, Derek Marin.
We all came to terms and agreement to do that.
These 22 were more worried about themselves and their own power.
And of course, they don't actually want to advance conservative legislation.
They want to advance special interest and lobbyists.
And for that reason, they struck a deal with 32 Democrats.
So in a state of supermajority Republicans, we have 22 Republicans or rhinos with 32 Democrats that have elected the Speaker of the House and 45 of us good guys, true Republicans, trying to deliver on the conservative values.
This isn't even a freedom caucus.
This is the majority of Republicans are standing against the 22 rhinos.
Is that right?
That is exactly what this is.
This is right versus wrong.
This is the conservative faction and others standing against 22 people that break their word and they're beholden to special interests and obviously the Democrats.
So was there actually, you know, you say a backroom political deal.
I know that's just a phrase.
But was there actually a meeting where they exchanged
gifts or promises?
Well, what was reported by the media is that the minority leader, the Democrat Allison Russo, said that a lot of things were off the table.
One was protecting our Constitution.
Of course, we're worried about Roe v.
Wade being codified all across the country.
Democrats want that.
We're worried about them raising the minimum wage and other things.
And that's all gone because we had a speaker deal that away to Democrats.
How about the,
what is it called, the backpack
proposal or about school?
What is it?
Yeah, so, you know, we want to put parents first.
We want to prioritize our children.
The backpack bill, universal school choice.
Everybody can get behind that except for these 22 sell-out Republicans and the 32 Democrats.
They've sold that down the river as well.
If I'm not mistaken, the Speaker of the House, you've had a couple of them go to jail or prison, haven't you?
Yes.
We,
well,
none have gone to prison yet.
We have one that's currently on trial.
Actually, many of these 22 rhinos, their names have come up in this trial.
And that's going on right now down in Cincinnati, FBI, big scam,
sellout
HB6 bailout bill.
So
it was bribery, money laundering, and racketeering, all that stuff.
Yeah, exactly.
It was pay-to-play.
And that's, you know, the same players are involved with these 22 people that they didn't want to actually advance conservative policies.
They want to advance the interests of their clients.
And it seems to be the same old, same old here in Ohio, despite our voters voting for an unprecedented supermajority, 67 Republicans.
Okay, so why bring this to me?
Why, what, how can my audience help?
Yeah, so, you know, the big thing is all across the country, we don't want to see this happen in your state house, but certainly here in Ohio, where we have these 22 censor censured Republicans, what we can do is we can make sure that we're donating to causes, that we're contributing, that we're making sure that we're raising up,
you know, we're really raising up everybody's voice and speaking out against this.
We need to pin these folks down.
They can't have a political future because if people see that you can do this in Ohio, they're going to do it all across the country.
Well, they do it in Texas.
They do it in Texas, and it is horrible, horrible in Texas.
And Texans don't even really know about it.
And we've talked about it several times.
It's like, guys, there are backroom deals going on.
Why do you think the Speaker of the House and the committee chair for education is a Democrat?
Because there's deals going on and we can't get anything done,
which
many times is a good thing, but trying to correct the problems that were created, you've got to have people in there who are listening to the people.
And apparently it's happening now in Ohio as well.
It's bad.
Yeah,
I hear that Texas, I have friends that are legislators down there.
They call it the Uniparty.
That's what you're saying.
Yep.
Like
that's what we're getting here in Ohio: the Uniparty is, you know, 22 people that say one thing in their district, but they do another thing in Columbus.
And that's why we got to shine a light on this, just like on the East Palestine thing.
So is there a chance of getting this reversed?
I mean, if people are, you know, calling the state house or
what could happen that would change the course of this?
Correct.
Yes.
I think you need to call all of your
representatives if they happen to represent you.
Even if they don't, you need to call them anyway.
Tell them that they want to actually be Republicans.
They need to reverse course here.
They should vote for the right guy.
It's never too late to vacate the speakership.
And actually, the meant Derek Marin is the speaker.
45 Republicans still stand strong with him.
And we just need five of them to kind of cross over and do the right thing.
It's never too late to do the right thing.
Okay, so Derek Maron is the guy that the conservatives want, right?
Yes, the actual most conservative choice.
Right, Derek Marin.
Okay.
And do you have a list of these 22 on a website or anything?
Yeah, you can get it pretty easily.
I think there's you just kind of search gang of 22 and you'll find that.
All right, we'll put
We'll tweet the results as well, make it a little easier.
Gang of 22 in Ohio.
You know, if you're in Ohio or this affects you, you should call
the state House and the Republicans in the state house and say,
better not find out you're on the gang of 22.
You got to wake up or Get them out.
Get them out.
We have to have people that will protect our states and our rights at the state level.
It's just as important, if not more important, at the state level at this point
to make sure local and state are sewn up.
And enough is enough.
Enough is enough.
Thank you so much, Ron.
I appreciate it.
Hey, Glenn, I appreciate your time, and you have a great day.
Thank you.
And our prayers are with all the people in Ohio and what's going on.
Ron Ferguson.
I'm a simple man.
You You know, every day I put my pants on one leg at a time.
Well, sometimes I put them on two legs at a time.
But, you know, I just stand there in my humble abode looking at my Radio Hall of Fame plaque, one that Stu doesn't have.
And,
you know, I fly in the same Jetsons-era flying car that you have.
You know, I'm salt of the earth type.
Nothing too fancy.
Until I get ready for bed.
Then I want the softest sheets ever made.
I mean,
really, don't, really, I mean, anything.
I can't stand.
I have restless leg syndrome, which I don't believe is a real thing, but I have it and it's weird.
But anyway, can't sleep and it drives me crazy.
The sheets,
if they're bumpy at all, drives me nuts.
My pillow has great sheets and they also have a better pillow than I'm sleeping on now.

This is the Glenn Beck program.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Glad you're here.
I would like to just go through
just a few of the things that happened yesterday that I think might be of interest to you.
Cut three.
This is Seymour Hirsch.
This is the journalist that says the Biden administration carried out the Nord Stream sabotage in order to lock in our allies to the Ukrainian efforts.
Listen.
Here's what Biden did, and this is what I think the ultimate point of the story and why so many people, even the intelligence community, are very troubled by it.
What he did is he said, I'm in a big war with Ukraine.
It's not looking good.
I want to be sure I get German and West European support.
And I know winter's coming.
And if it's going to be bad, I don't want the Germans to say, we got to check out because we're getting massacred.
We'll be massacred with
no cheap fuel.
And the economy will go bonkers.
We're going to check out and we're going to open up the gas line, which they could do.
So we took away that option.
This, if true, is remarkable.
Now,
I will note that this is coming from the left.
This charge is coming from the left.
And it could easily be construed as this is the
communist or fascistic authoritarian Russian left.
But it is something to really truly pay attention to.
I'm going to be covering this here in the next couple of weeks.
We're going to be doing a lot of homework and investigating on this
because if it is true, it means some really bad things.
However, I don't believe that we can
sit around and
tolerate or put our heads in the sand.
When we have a deep state that is willing to do this, if they are willing to knowingly blow up a pipeline because they think winter is coming and it's going to be extraordinarily cold
and they will do that to our allies when people who are our allies
could have died or could die still because of what was done,
what won't they do?
I mean, we said, if they're doing this to President Trump, do you think they actually care about you?
People have been practically disappeared from January 6th.
Nobody did anything.
And that's unlike any kind of police action I've ever seen.
Look at what the FBI is doing to the private citizen because they believe that abortion is wrong.
Look what they're doing to private citizens over schools.
If this is true,
and they went around Congress and our intelligence committee, which oversees this stuff.
This is
at
the very least impeachable.
At the very least, it may be.
I mean, honestly,
if it's true,
I know I would go to Washington
and in an orderly fashion and demand that
we get all of the people that are involved and as far as i'm concerned they can go fly over to putin and stand trial in russia if they did this
i i'm on russia's side on that particular issue that should never have happened and i'm not on russia's side
i'm on the american side i'm on the truth justice in the american way sort of side i'm also very clearly on the side that the president of the united states cannot just decide to do this without any consultation that's not how the system works.
And so I'm bad.
That's a very risky.
I mean, you're risking World War III there.
Now, now, look, we don't know if this is true.
We don't.
We don't.
I mean, it is.
We have reason to suspect he has enough detail in there, but he also has details in there that a lot of people are saying that's not possible or that's not done or that person wasn't.
So we don't know.
There's stuff in there that is incorrect, but there's also stuff that people who are in the know say
that's a real possibility.
Yeah.
And I think you, you know, I think especially a conservative audience has reasons to be skeptical of Seymour Hirsch's
recording.
I mean, there's a reason why he's on Democracy Now and not this show, right?
Talking about this.
Although I would take him.
No, I...
You know who I really want on this show?
If you are a fan of Matt Taibbi or you follow him or something, would you please,
we can't get him to return our calls.
I'd love to have him on this program.
He actually tweeted about Seymour Hirsch and said, I
was talking to Seymour as he was putting the facts of this story together.
It's well worth a read.
Now, Matt Taibbi has some credibility, at least with me, a lot of credibility for what he's done recently.
What does he think about this?
Would you just tweet at Matt Taibbi and say, come on the Glenback program, please?
Or Matt, if you happen to be listening,
nah, there's not a chance.
Matt, come on.
Come on, take Ricky's phone call.
All right.
Back in just a minute.
The Glenback Program.
Got no room to compromise.
We gotta stand together, it's a course of life.
Stand up, stand, and hold the light.
It's a nice
what you're about to hear
is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenbeck program.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.
So it's been kind of a bizarre week, you know, in the news.
We started on Monday shooting down balloons that the Pentagon said may have been aliens.
Okay,
I don't know where you go from there.
Well,
some people have found a place to go from there.
To make this week even even more bizarre.
We go there in 60 seconds.
Weather's warming up unless you're in Texas.
I don't understand the weather.
I've lived here for 10 years.
I still don't understand it.
Yesterday, it was like 70 and a little bit muggy, and today I think it's 4.
Anyway,
as the weather warms up, we start to go outside and do things.
You want your house to have that spring clean, spring fresh feel to it.
And with everything as expensive as it is, you want something that you can really spend the minimal amount and make the biggest impact and that's window treatments go to blinds.com right now they have design consultants that have you covered they can help you pick what's right for your home when there are just too many choices they don't need to come to your house three or four times and measure and then give you a quote and you're like good heaven what

That's up to 45% off everything right now at blinds.com.
Rules and restrictions may apply.
All right, so Stu.
I'd like to go through a couple of things with you just to see if you know the week could get
even more bizarre.
bizarre.
Let's start with cut seven, please.
This is some shocking
stats on young heart attacks on CBS.
Heart attack deaths have become more common across all age groups since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
But a recent study found that young people are actually most at risk in this case.
According to Cedars Sinai Hospital, the number of heart attack deaths among 25 to 44-year-olds in the U.S.
over the first two years of the pandemic was 30% higher than predicted.
That really is quite striking.
That's not a group, an age group, in which you normally see heart attacks, much less dying from a heart attack.
Do we know
why younger people might be more at risk?
We don't know for sure.
What we do know, however, is that younger people were less likely to protect themselves against COVID than older people, less likely to mask, less likely to take other mitigation measures.
And they were also farther back in line to get vaccinated.
So they were not protected with vaccination until later in the pandemic.
Those might have been a factor here.
Now, let me, because I'm a doctor, Stu, I know you had a lot to say here, but
pipe down, okay?
Because I'm a doctor, man.
You are a doctor.
You are.
Of the humanities.
The entire human body.
The entire human body.
That's the way I understand it.
And by the way, I'm working on a carpal tunnel syndrome.
If you have a problem with those
syndromes.
Nope.
Just going to do some experimental stuff.
You don't have to do that.
Anyway, we'll get into that later.
Science, man.
Science.
Okay.
So let me see if I have this right.
There was an uptick in heart attacks in people that shouldn't usually have heart attacks and deaths, 30% increase.
And the deal is, is that they didn't get the injection soon enough.
And then when they did get the injection, it was like the, you know, the leftover stuff.
So it's,
Stu, you're not going to understand this, but science.
What people don't know is like the vaccine.
This is why you wanted to be the first to be vaccinated.
You wouldn't have had a heart attack if you would have had the first because vaccine's a little like orange juice.
And if you're not shaking it all the time,
that pulp that just filters down at the bottom.
And so when you're filling up a syringe, they got too much vaccine pulp.
And that can clog, that shoots right to the heart and can cause a heart attack.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
That's interesting.
Yeah, you seem almost a tad skeptical of the information.
Of the information being given?
No, I just told you about the pulp.
But you did tell me about the pulp.
Yeah.
And as a doctor, I have to take that very seriously.
Right, of course you do.
I would point out, and this is just, I didn't know that, you know, I didn't argue with it.
I understand, I think, the underlying point of playing that video.
However, you know,
it's a two-year period.
For one and a half years, almost no young people got vaccinated at all.
So, I mean, it would be pretty easy to suss this out in the report, you'd think, right?
If there was a sudden shooting up at, let's say, May, August, June, August of 2021, and there was nothing before that, then you would say it was vaccine-related.
But this is a two-year period, and they're saying it's up 30% over the two years.
So, is it your claim that it's all in the second half of 2021?
Is that why you're
not?
As a doctor, I am telling you,
pulp, end of story.
You pulped it.
Pulp.
Just don't pulp your vaccines, guys.
You got to shake them up before you get them.
Right.
Okay.
Okay.
Let's see here.
Why don't we...
Oh, here's one that made the...
Remember, we started with aliens.
That has seemed like that doesn't usually happen, right?
Right.
We don't.
It's not typical.
That's not true.
It's like the hardest tax caused by pulp.
Pulp.
That doesn't usually happen.
Usually not.
Okay.
This one.
Let's go to cut eight, please.
This is the binary, the
binary guy, the
non-binary guy that was doing the devil worship stuff.
Sam
Smith.
Yeah.
He was on the BBC in an interview.
Here's what he said.
Yeah, yeah, I'd love to be a fish of them.
What, like a fly fisherman?
I'd be any type of fisher them.
I think I would like to, one day I'd just like to end my days fishing.
I do it on the sea and I do it in the lakes.
I've never done it alone.
So cool.
Someone's always taught me.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
And nobody said, did you say fly fisher them?
You're not trying to be a fly fisherman.
He's not a fly fisherman.
He's a fly fisher them.
Is that what he said?
That's what he said.
It was a.
I couldn't tell what his pronunciation.
I thought it was maybe the accent.
Fly fisher them.
Fisher them.
So if you want to be a fisherman, you better be up.
You better be out on that crap boat and getting the pronouns right.
Okay.
You better, seriously, those Alaskan fishermen, they do not mess around with their pronouns.
I'm a fisher them.
Okay?
Remember, it's pulp.
Pulp.
Pulp is what did it.
Now,
here is an interview with Chris Cuomo,
who apparently is still around.
And
he was doing an interview on Anthony Scarmucci's
podcast, which...
The mooch?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it's hard.
And he's still around too.
He's still around.
Well, he's been, I mean, getting on, getting booked on Scarmucci's podcast.
So it wasn't the mooch going on Cuomo's show.
No.
It was the opposite.
It was Cuomo going on the mooch's show.
Got it.
So they both have a show now.
That's really exciting.
That's exciting for them.
Here he is about his firing.
I had to accept because I was going to kill everybody, including myself.
Things can consume you.
Italians are so passionate.
And I really had to fight against that because,
you know, just like you did, I got too many people counting on me.
So did he say, honestly, that he was going to kill everyone and himself?
It sounds like maybe the type of thing you find in a note,
typically.
You know, or someone that shouldn't be around people.
Right.
You know, I know Chris Cuomo would support that he should not be able to purchase a firearm after that statement.
Yeah, well, he should know.
Before that statement, really.
He's had multiple outbursts.
Now, is it possible he's he's saying, you know, he's going to blow up everyone's career?
You know, because he was threatening to.
He said kill and then kill himself.
Right.
But like, you know, if I, you know, you're killing the guy if you were going out and you're hammering it.
You might use that as a turn of phrase.
Oh.
Are you being paid by Soros?
Are you thinking about going into a prosecution in the full context?
That's why I'm worried.
Yeah, no.
He said I wanted to, I was just so low and I get so passionate, I was going to kill everybody.
And it does seem
He's threatened to kill people, or at least beat up people before that.
If I remember from certain instances, well, he's Italian.
Yeah, and he also.
And Italians do that all the time.
That's kind of a
stereotypical, stereotypical thing to say.
Well, you're not married to it.
I'm married to an Italian.
Yes, I am a part Italian.
Are you yourself?
Well,
I'm not Italian at all,
but I'm like World War II.
I'm German and I married an Italian.
Okay, so violence,
we got it down.
And what I learned from being around her 100% Italian family is, oh, they kill people all the time.
Really?
It's like the godfather.
Well, they're so passionate.
You step out of line on Second Communion, horsehead in your bed.
Okay.
They're so passionate.
They're passionate.
That's all it is, is passion.
It's just when you get passionate, you wind up murdering some people.
That's just what happens.
That's really what he's saying here.
Very strange.
It's really what he's saying.
And he wants you to know it's not his fault.
It's his heritage.
It's his heritage.
It's just all Italians.
Italians are the same.
They just all want to murder everyone around them and themselves.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thanks a lot, Chris.
Okay, so let's see.
We have something.
I think this is
almost as bizarre as the Pentagon saying, I don't know, could be aliens.
This is Elon Musk.
At the
World, what is it?
The World Government Summit.
The Government government summit and to to describe the scene if you remember the apple commercial from the super bowl in like 1984
with the exception of uh everyone looks like they might be from saudi arabia in the crowd it looks exactly like that you know when does it bother anybody that all these world global government summit things
all happen like in dubai where nobody has any rights
interesting i wanted something to do that yeah
where Where if you default on your loan for your car, I believe it's execution.
I don't know if they should be the ones heading up the global summits.
But here he is in front of the global government summit
via a giant screen.
I know this is called the World Government Summit,
but I think we should be maybe a little bit concerned about actually becoming too much of a single world government.
If I may say that we want to avoid creating a civilizational risk by having,
frankly, this may sound a little odd, too much cooperation between governments.
If you look at, say, at history and the rise and fall of civilizations,
really all throughout history, civilizations have risen and fallen, but it hasn't meant the doom of humanity as a whole because
there have been all these separate civilizations that were separated by great distances.
So I think we want to be a little bit cautious about
being too much of a single civilization, because if we are too much of a single civilization, then
the whole thing may collapse.
And then a woman came down the aisle and threw a giant hammer into the screen.
He's totally right there.
She's couching it.
I mean, it's more than I expected from Elon Musk.
I like Elon Musk a lot, but I also don't want him making governmental decisions.
You know what I mean?
I'm not quite sure he's all in
on the.
We don't want to be too much of a one-world government.
This isn't the way I would phrase it.
This is not the way I would.
He is couching it a bit in a way that makes me still uncomfortable.
Like, you know.
Maybe the vending machines should be independent of the world government.
I mean, what?
Yeah, it's a, it's, he, I mean, he's also trying to communicate to an audience who is much, very much in favor of this.
So yes, he's trying to, I think, communicate a message that's disagreeing with them in a way that they might consider.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he's, and he's right.
I mean, this is why the federalist system
is supposed to be the way we work.
Because if one state goes down,
that's fine.
We can all gather together and help that one state.
But if the, if all the power is in Washington and that goes down, you got nothing.
And you want there are going to be errors and things that we grow out of.
You want to make sure that somebody is doing something that you think, well, that seems a little crazy.
Let me ask you this.
If the Californian, you know,
lifestyle of spend and spend and spend and
big government health care and all that, if that actually worked and was saving money and saving lives,
would you have a problem with universal health care?
I got to tell you, I would on principle, but it would be hard to argue if it was saving money and saving lives.
And it was actually good.
I mean, I'm talking about a utopian.
It's not going to happen.
Right.
But if it actually worked.
It would be a more difficult argument, certainly.
Absolutely.
Because, you know, of course, you'd want to help people.
But I find this argument about school choice a lot, where, you know, should you be able to homeschool?
And of course, the left doesn't want that to happen at all.
They would like that to go away completely.
And one of the arguments, I think, in an intelligent fashion that you make in favor of private schools or a homeschooling is that it's better and more effective.
And it's true.
Every piece of data we have shows that it is, right?
That's a true argument.
It's at some point.
Homeschooling?
Yeah, that homeschooling and and private schools are better than public schools.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
The performance of the kids are better.
They do better in school.
They learn faster.
They perform better.
Every measure shows the same thing.
It's also, though, sort of not the point.
If it was worse, parents should still be able to choose to
do homeschooling.
I'm not talking about universal exclusive.
of anything.
You still have to have a choice.
Right.
You have to have to have a choice.
And I would have absolutely, we'd be foolish not to look and say, what is working there?
What isn't working there?
Should we adjust our system?
It's an experiment.
Each state's supposed to be a lab that's trying their own things because they all come looking at it in a different way.
And that experiment is to make us stronger, not to make us weaker.
You need the diversity.
You need the diversity of thought.
If you're not allowed to say, I don't think that's right, have we tried it this way?
If you're not allowed to question,
you're never going to make any progress.
Progressivism is the way to make sure no progress is ever made after a certain point.
Because you can't question.
Well,
that's how you grow.
Back in just a minute.
What are you doing today to make sure that money you've worked hard for to earn over the years doesn't lose its value?
The people that are driving the great reset are doing everything in their considerable power to make sure that that is exactly what happens.
By the way, if these guys didn't have some sort of clout, some sort of power and influence, do you really think that Elon Musk would waste his time trying to talk these people off the ledge of global government?
No, of course not.
The things that these people are doing in the privacy of their own conventions is devaluing everything you have worked for.
Right now, I want you to call Goldline.
Goldline is the hedge against insanity.
I used to say hedge against inflation, and it is.
Gold's going up, inflation's going up.
But it's also against insanity, the world going crazy.
If the people that have predicted here recently, some really big names have predicted recently, that you're looking at maybe $4,000 an ounce for gold.
That means the world is at war.
You don't want to even imagine that kind of a scenario.
Gold will be really hard to trade with.
Silver is the answer at that point.
Right now,
Goldline is giving away a quarter ounce gold Mayflower round with every box of silver
Mayflower rounds purchased.
I would get silver.
I'd have some gold, but I'd also have some silver just in case.
No number on the limit eligible.
So
go get your free gold now.
You're not going to find free gold promotions anywhere else.
Goldline, take advantage of this special now before they sell out at 866 Goldline.

I got to tell you,
Ron DeSantis just doesn't stop.
Last week, he went after ESG stronger than anyone in any state has gone after ESG.
And I wish more states would pick up his kind of legislation and pass it in their own states.
Florida will end up being the healthiest state in the Union.
I'm convinced of it.
Well, he now has just
authorized and signed SB6B transportation of inspected unauthorized aliens.
This authorizes him to spend money.
Well, let me read it to you.
The federal government has failed to secure the nation's borders and has allowed a surge of inspected unauthorized aliens to enter the United States.
The consequences increase
crime, diminished economic opportunities, and wages for American workers, and burdens on the education and healthcare system.
This legislation finds the federal government has proven itself unwilling to address this crisis.
So, to mitigate that crisis, this authorizes him to load planes up of unauthorized aliens and ship them to sanctuary cities.
By the way, if you think that's just so horrible, you should talk to the mayor of New York because he's shipping them to Montreal.
Montreal sending them to Santa, I think.
I don't know.
By the way, San Francisco is reconsidering their sanctuary city status in an amazing move.
We'll give you more on this and what, what, the miracle that I think is happening in Kentucky in just a minute.
The Glenn Beck program.
All right, the line's been drawn in the sand for quite a while now, and that line isn't between Democrat and Republican or conservative and liberal, really.
It is about Americanism and Marxism and leftism, plain and simple, globalists and authoritarianism.
One of the best ways to fight against leftism is to support businesses that hold to the same values that you do.
Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, is now offering service with all three major networks, which means if you're with one of the big three and you like their service, but they hate their values, you can access them through Patriot Mobile.
This comes with a performance guarantee.
You're not happy with your coverage.
You can switch anytime free to one of the big major carriers.
Patriot Mobile, they share your values.
They won't send your hard-earned money in aid to the destruction of America.
And they have a great service, and it will be less expensive.
Save money.
Do the right thing.
Switch right now.

Just me, are railroad officials?
Are they notoriously the villains?
Last night in Ohio, they didn't show up for the meeting with the town because they were afraid things might get out of hand.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
To go into the town that you just destroyed because you think they might be mad?
Oh, yeah, that well, that's the way to calm things down: is to
dismiss them and then call them what, killers?
Unbelievable.
Also, last night I did a special on China, and I talked about
a book that had come out and had been translated into English in 99, and it was about the plan to destroy America from the Chinese perspective without ever firing a bullet.
And we went through it last night, and it is mind-boggling.
Everything is being done.
Fentanyl on the border, part of the plan.
It's incredible.
It's absolutely incredible.

All right.
I told you at the beginning of the hour, this has been a bizarre week.
It started with the president and the Pentagon going, I don't know, maybe those balloons were aliens.
What?
I'm going to give you some shocking news.
There is a college in Kentucky that has a weekly chapel service.
I know, right?
I know, that's weird enough, but it goes further than that.
On February 8th, there was a morning service and there was an altar call.
Just come on down if you want to get prayed on.
And there was just a couple dozen students there that they were gathering.
It's been going on now since February 8th, 24 hours a day, and people are coming from all over the country.
It's miraculous.
Allison Perfader is with us now.
She is with
the, she's actually the student body president at Ashbury University.
Hello, Allison.
How are you?
Good morning.
How are you?
I'm good.
Thank you for having me on.
I think this is, I mean, this
almost brings tears to my eyes.
This is such a miraculous thing that's going on.
Tell us about it.
Yeah, I mean, it's like you said, it's miraculous.
I mean, I don't know if you've ever heard of Wilmore, Kentucky, but we have one street and we call it downtown.
And so when the whole world is watching us, you have to wonder, what is God doing here?
Because there's nothing about here that people want to see.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
So
this started on February 8th.
It wasn't planned, right?
It just
started.
And then
how did other people, I mean, that's a small town.
How did it go on for even just the first 24 hours?
What was happening?
Yeah, it's like you said,
February 8th, we had
our regular chapel, and then a couple students didn't leave, and then a couple students heard that a couple students didn't leave, and then President Brown came over, and I came over to see what was happening.
And
I can just say the Holy Spirit was so present there.
You could almost see it.
And we were just going, wow, what is going on?
And then our surrounding communities heard about it.
And obviously, social media played a huge role in spreading the word.
And we've had friends now from Brazil and Indonesia.
And I mean,
everybody wants in on it.
I got to tell you, I want to take my family.
This is something that I really respect.
The fact that you didn't push this out on social media.
You're not hyping this.
You're kind of a reluctant group to make a big deal out of this, just is happening organically, and you don't want it to be a circus, right?
Right.
Yeah, and especially because I think something that Asbury and a lot of universities, and honestly, just my generation, struggles with, is pride.
And what we've seen here is just such a radical humility that students are standing up and confessing things that have been done to them or that they've done, and they're opening their hearts up to not only the presence of God, but to each other.
And that is a very intimate thing.
And so there are some mixed feelings about it becoming global.
And it's obviously amazing and it's great.
But there is that core of honesty that we're still holding on to.
Well, I bet you that there were a lot of people at the Sermon on the Mount that thought,
this shouldn't go global.
In fact, I know it shouldn't go to the Gentiles.
And
I just think this is
remarkable.
So there's no speakers or anything going on, right?
It's just people gathering to pray.
Yeah,
there's been a couple people just kind of facilitating it, you know, keeping everyone safe and also guiding the conversation, making sure that we're setting up healthy boundaries for what we're talking about with big groups of people.
But, no, beyond that, I mean, like, it's unfathomable.
Imagine students just bringing mattresses into an old wooden auditorium and spending the night there.
It's crazy.
And it's truly
supernatural.
Think of the opposite of Occupy Wall Street.
Remember how horrible
the conditions became and everything else.
And look what's happening here.
Do you when you say the thing we want a safe space for the things we're talking about, what does that mean exactly?
Yeah, I mean I think that there's just an intimacy when a body of believers is together because you know your self-consciousness kind of falls off and your pride kind of falls off and and that should be protected
and just just well I mean we've had women here who who have gotten help leaving an abusive relationship, for example.
And that's something that, you know, isn't to be displayed or promoted.
Yeah.
That's just genuine life is hard and God is good kind of a kind of a situation.
And
yeah.
Yeah.
So do you think that, I mean, I know you're still in it, so it's hard to process, but do you think this is
a thing where
the Spirit is pouring out for a renewal of faith, calling out for a renewal of faith?
Is it a thing because
there's so much darkness in the world?
What do you, or is it just a personal thing and everyone approaches it differently?
I think it's all of those things.
And I think, you know, I remember my freshman year was when COVID hit and our community was totally divided.
And I remember we would just say like, oh, how could this get any worse?
And now there are thousands of people here and we're just all together and we're it's just the opposite.
And so now we're saying like, oh, how could this get any better?
And I think all the those things you said are true.
I think that we're hungry and desperate for community and I and for God.
And I think that that is different for everyone.
I mean, there's people coming for physical healing, for
freedom from anxiety and depression.
And
the Holy Spirit is for everyone.
And he's very busy.
I'll say that.
He's very busy.
Yeah, yeah, especially now.
Especially now.
Yeah.
Well, thank you so much.
And
please thank the people in your town for creating the atmosphere where the spirit could dwell.
And especially your university.
I've not heard of your university before, but I am going to look into your university now.
I just, it takes
it takes a very different place for this to happen in today's world.
Yeah.
On the one hand, it does.
And then on the other hand, it just takes someone who asks God for it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Thank you for saying that.
And I will pass that along, especially to President Brown.
And I just appreciate the chance to talk about it.
Thanks, Allison.
Appreciate it.
That is from the university called Asbury University.
She's the student body president, Allison Perfader, about something remarkable that is happening in Kentucky today.
To me,
this story gives me more hope than any anti-ESG story or anything else that I am passionate about.
This story is truly, to me, the biggest story of the week and may end up being one of the biggest stories of this time period.
This is a really good thing.
Pray for them and just join them in prayer.
Gather, even if you're not anywhere around there.
Join them in prayer.

All right, back in just a minute.
First, let me tell you about Life Lock.
Keeping your internet-connected device updated is always a good idea.
You'll get some tiny little computer virus bug that goes through a company's servers, and then you can kiss a ton of your protected data goodbye in an instant.
Cyber criminals know what they're doing and they've got sophisticated means.
Did you know that China has a skyscraper, a skyscraper full of people that their only job is to hack our infrastructure and they do it every day.
That's all they do.
Thank God, you know, you're not getting the kind of attack that the U.S.
government is giving, but there are people all over the world that are hacking anything they can.
You need to understand how cybercrime and identity theft affects your life.
It will affect your life in a meaningful way if you don't protect against it.
And even then, even the best of the best can't stop everything.
So you need to have the security measure, and then you also have to have the restoration team if you do end up having a problem.
Now, I want you to call LifeLock.

This is the Glenn Beck program.
Welcome to the program.
I've got another famous, famous promise that Joe Biden keeps making, and I do not think it means what he thinks it means.
Play cuts five, please.
No one making less than 400,000 bucks a year,
and I don't know a lot of people I grew up with made 400,000.
Will not see a penny increase in their taxes.
Nazis?
Oh my gosh.
I can't believe that.
No, he said not see.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Yeah, not see.
Two words.
But
have you noticed he's slipping
even more?
Even more.
Yeah, I'm watching his
one interview he did last week.
I don't think he had one eye open.
I mean, one was open, but the other one was not open.
Oh, my gosh.
You need to have open.
Really only
just to answer a question.
Yeah.
And he's on the road now, and he's
like, I don't know,
I mean, it's getting bad.
Actually, no, Kern Jean-Pierre said he was the best communicator in the White House.
Yes, so I'm, I apologize, which actually, compared to her, you can make a pretty significant case that she is.
Uh, all right, so uh, he's making the same tax promise, and I would just like to ask, just like to ask, how does this go along with his new guideline for the IRS
for a voluntary tip reporting program?
It's voluntary.
Voluntary.
We just want you to voluntarily tell us how much you're making in tips so you can send us, you know, a percentage of that.
Oh, that's going to happen.
That's going to happen.
Oh,
yes.
Having worked at restaurants in my life, that's...
So let me ask you, now if we have total control and we're seeing what everybody makes, when you get a tip, you're going to have to
give the government their share and so would that be a tax increase or decrease would you say that would i would say that's a tax increase but most servers do make over four hundred thousand dollars a year so it wouldn't apply you're right you're right i mean a lot of people don't know this i've never revealed this but i only make four dollars an hour The rest of it is all in tips.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Congratulations.
So I'm, you know, my income, my reported income,
I get money back from the government.
Oh, great.
Yeah.
I don't even, you know, I'm poverty line, pretty much.
Pretty much, yeah.
The rest of that.
Notice that.
And
now I'm going to voluntarily, you know, give that information.
What person who is working for $4 or $7 an hour?
It's not even less than that.
I mean,
when I worked as a server, it was $2.12 an hour.
That's what my dad used to pay me.
$2.12.
My dad used to pay me two.
Two.
Yeah.
I mean, but, you know, I mean, there was a significant amount of time in between when you were a kid and I was a working age 20 or 20 year old.
What are you saying there?
Saying you're older than I am.
But I mean, seriously,
I remember saying two to my...
My dad paid tips too.
You'd work $20.
I'm your father.
Do it.
That was his big tip.
You'd work a 40-hour week and your paycheck before taxes was $80.
But of course, there were tips.
That was
all the money you made, basically.
And you reported every dime of it.
I did.
But of course, there were others in the establishment.
Not you.
Not, not me.
I
always do, of course.
But there were some people there that were like, eh,
man,
you know, how much did you make a tip today?
And other, ah,
$6.
You know, it's like, well, you know, I don't know.
I think if they look to audit you, you're going to have some problems.
Is there a problem?
Do you have a problem when you're going into stores?
And it's just like a store.
Like, you know,
I picked up these socks.
I want want to buy these socks and you pay for it and it says would you like to add a tip
and they're standing there looking at you like what are you going to leave me you're like well you didn't do anything except
put my card through the machine which i really could have done well you probably did do
i probably did do you really didn't do anything for a tip and they just i mean you are so pressured now to give tips.
Yeah.
This is, I think, turning around.
I think people have finally hit the wall on this.
I've heard several, like, you know, read news stories, heard some podcasts about this where, like, it's not even just like evil conservatives who just don't like the little man.
Everyone's just kind of like, wait a minute,
what's going on here?
So I don't mind.
I mean, I'm going to be, I'm going to go out on a limb as a conservative.
I don't mind the little man.
You don't.
No, I don't.
You're not.
I mean, they're irritating.
Religiously opposed to the little man.
No, but I am not necessarily opposed.
I'm more neutral.
What if they talk to you, though?
Well, then you're going to lose their tip.
No, the people who work, and that's the deal with their tips.
But
if you're working a regular job, you know,
I'm not going to tip you.
No.
It's weird.
And, you know, because of these little digital things that just put the button on there, why wouldn't you put the button on there?
It's free money.
Absolutely.
Who cares?
Maybe only 10% of people do it, but I mean, it's yours, so why not?
And I think it also came with the pandemic when everyone was like, we need to give our delivery people 85% tips.
You ready?
And I think that's where Joe Biden came out this week and said, We need to give our teachers a raise.
We just did.
Moneyback program.
