Let me tell you a little bit about Jace Medical, the American Society of Healthcare Pharmacists, the group that tracks our drugs and what's in stock,

what's not in stock.

There is a worldwide shortage of a couple of antibiotics now.

One of them is amoxicillin.

You know, if we have a supply breakdown, we have a problem, and

you can't get amoxicillin, you can't get some regular antibiotics, it's really a real problem.

Jace Medical has made what they call the Jace case, and it will help you be prepared for the worst.

Things like UTIs, respiratory infections, sinusitis, skin infections, all kinds of stuff.

And you can get some of these antibiotics that will get you through this to a doctor.

And

we all have to prepare.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together, it's the corner of the night.

Stand up straight and hold the line.

It's a new day of time to rise.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Gee, where do we start?

How about more documents found at a Biden house?

How many more documents are we going to find?

But this is totally different.

Totally different.

And he's right.

Actually, Biden is right.

It is totally different.

Trump had them all in a locked space in one room, where Biden seems to have just left them everywhere in everybody's house.

But I mean, sure, nobody, who goes into a garage, not the pool boy, he doesn't go into the garage.

Not people who are delivering stuff, they don't go into the garage.

They found six items, not six documents, six items containing more top secret documents.

And the other way it's different, too, is

Joe Biden had a drug addict who was always looking for money and dealing with the Chinese and the Russians all the time, where Donald Trump didn't have that.

So it is different.

Where do we even begin?

Well, maybe we should spin the wheel and see where we begin in 60 seconds.

Your dog is a great friend.

He's probably seen you naked.

I know, I know, I know.

But he doesn't judge me.

That's the thing I like.

He doesn't look at me with those eyes and say, wow, you've let yourself go.

That's why I want to keep Uno healthy and happy because he's just my friend.

It doesn't judge me.

Maybe he should.

Here's something that we do to take care of him.

We feed him rough greens.

When I say we feed him, we put this on top of the dog food.

because it has all kinds of vitamins, minerals, everything that they need, including the

probiotics, which everybody needs.

It was put together by naturopathic Dr.

Dennis Black, and you sprinkle it on the dog's food and they go crazy for it.

At least Uno does.

They'd like to make sure your dog goes crazy for it before you start, you know, paying for anything.

Make sure that your dog loves it as much as Uno.

So they're going to send you a free sample bag free.

All you do is pay for shipping, rough greens, r-u-f-f-greens.com/slash beck, just to make sure your dog loves it as much as Uno does.

If they do, start putting this on their dog food every day.

And over the next year, you are going to see unbelievable change.

At least I have.

Just pay for shipping.

Get your free bag.

Roughgreens, R-U-F-F-Greens.com/slash Beck, or you can call them at 833-G-L-E-N-N33.

833-Glenn33 or RoughGreens.com slash Beck.

All right.

Hello, Stu.

How are you?

Glenn, welcome back.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Let me just address this real quick.

I am going through something that I don't think is very different than

every other parent in the country.

My family,

I've chosen to look at it as

our family is currently being purified.

There's some things that are going on

and

they just have to be solved.

And

we'll all be stronger for it when we get to the other side.

It's getting to the other side that is such an issue.

And

some of it has to do with mental health.

And,

you know, on Tuesday, I was on the air and we were talking about things that are going on in your household that maybe you know or don't know.

And I was at a complete loss of words.

And Stu, jokingly, just to cover the awkward space, said, I've never seen you at a loss for words.

And that is because

I was about just to spill everything because

I have had this ability given to me

when I am humble, when I am doing my job the right way, and when I am actually trying to serve you, I can feel you.

I can feel when things connect with you.

I can feel, I just can feel you.

I don't know how to describe it, but I've had that ability for a long time.

And

as I'm talking about this, I could feel

an overwhelming sense of how many people are going through similar things that we're going through.

Except You're working 70 hours a week.

You and your wife or you and your husband both have full-time jobs, and you're dealing with them in school, the kids in school, and trying to keep that straight.

You're trying to keep food on the table, and you don't have the time or the resources that I have, and I'm overwhelmed.

And I don't know what to do.

And

I understand this world

probably better than others, as far as the mental health thing.

And I'm at a complete loss.

So,

first of all, you're not alone if you're going through things.

You are not alone.

And I am going to double my effort to try to

find answers.

You know, suicide is off the charts, off the charts.

With our children, it's doubled.

What is it?

37% with male African-Americans, something like that, some crazy

stat.

And no one is talking about it.

And

it has to do with our entire society

i don't know about you but

you know when i was a kid we used to walk to school and all of that bull crap

you can look at the past and say it wasn't that great it had problems yeah but at least there was truth

at least

At least we had people in the community that felt like we did and we kind of helped each other out.

We weren't trying to suck our kids into some sort of pedophilia ring or get them to change genders or whatever it is.

Society was basically stable and we agreed generally on right and wrong.

We don't anymore.

And so our kids go out and they may you you may be the only voices of sanity that they hear all day.

And I wouldn't want to be a kid.

Would you want to be a kid today?

Going through, can you imagine?

Can you imagine?

Just

think of yourself as a girl for a second.

And hey, there's nothing wrong with that, gentlemen.

Think of yourself as a teenage girl.

You know the stress of how they look, what they wear, all that bull crap.

Can you imagine you're on tape every day or you're being recorded every day?

So you just want to go to school one day and just look like crap or you just want to go to school and just you have a bad day and you say something, do something.

It's now there forever and you can never ever let it go because it's there.

Just imagine that pressure.

And then I think of the pressure of you.

You know, there's this pressure of

you got to do your best well I've done my best I have absolutely done my best I have done everything I possibly can and it still feels at times like failure it's not it's really not but it'll feel that way

and you don't if you're like me

There are times that you want to look at your kids and go, suck it up, buttercup.

You know, when I was a kid.

But we cannot compare these times to the times that we lived in because everything

was different.

And,

you know,

I just think of church.

You know,

if you don't live in a community where the majority of people go to church, and you know what?

There are bad Christians.

There's bad Jews.

There's bad atheists.

I get it.

Whatever.

Not everybody that goes to church is a good person.

But at least

the society is kind of trying to bend that way.

Where now society,

if you're in a place where there is, where they're not godly people, people searching for God at least, I don't know how you do it.

And it's going to get worse.

It's going to get harder.

Because the options of God, I mean, think of going to church now.

I mean, I go to church and we still dress up and wear a tie and everything else.

And And it's like, oh,

that's the hardest thing.

Well, that and actually living by the principles.

That's the hardest thing.

That's not going to get easier.

And it's certainly not going to become more popular.

The choices that our kids will be offered will be really easy and enticing.

And if we can't get them to see the truth, no one in their life in this atmosphere that they're just going to bump into the streets, odds are they're not going to help them make good choices.

So

how do we do it?

How do we do it?

And how do we keep our life on track?

I know that you are.

I know how hard you're working.

I mean, I assume you're working hard.

I mean, there are probably some people who are like, yeah, I'm living off the government is pretty sweet.

Probably not in this audience.

Working hard, trying to keep just all I want, my children to be happy.

You know, we had a therapist that was, you know, she was like, she's just started with us.

And

one of my, well, I can tell you this part, my daughter wants to be an actress.

And so this therapist was talking generally about things.

And she was like, you know, sometimes parents, you know, they want their kids to do a certain thing or be a certain way.

And so they, you know, without knowing, they're encouraging.

And I said, I'll stop you right there.

I would, I would

give up everything if my daughter would go, I don't want to be an actress.

I would celebrate.

I fireworks.

I'd give away my house if I could get that to happen.

I so do not want to send her into the into the mouth of the lion.

And yet, I help her every night learn her lines.

I

help her with her acting skills.

I drive her, and so does her mom, 30 miles away every single night, six nights a week, so she can go practice and be in shows.

So

I get it.

We're good parents.

You're a good parent.

You're doing the best you can.

We're just living in different times.

I hope this made sense to you.

And if it didn't,

oh well.

But we're going to go into the news next.

Standby.

It's hard to make long-term plans when everything in the economy has been, you know, as scary as it is.

We're going to stay in a deep recession or we're going to get out.

Which is it?

We're going to recover?

We're going to have the U.S.

dollar or is it going to tube and we're going to have a digital dollar?

Is it true that we are close to the end of the World Economic Forum?

That's what some people are saying.

I don't think so.

But some people are saying that's over now.

I have no idea what's coming financially and everything else.

I will tell you this.

If you are making any kind of decision, you need like-minded people helping you that really know the ropes.

So you want to sell your house.

You want to buy a house in another neighborhood?

You better have somebody who is like-minded, somebody who you can trust.

Trust to say,

I want to be surrounded by godly people and they understand what you mean because they are like that.

And somebody who knows how to get the best deal for your house as you're selling or the best deal in the house that you are buying.

Experts, and you'll find those people at realestate agentsitrust.com.

10 seconds station ID.

Oh, golly.

All right.

So

the DOJ has seized more classified documents from Biden's Wilmington home.

There was a 12-hour FBI search over the weekend, and they found more.

It was like deja vu all over again.

When

does this become serious for anybody?

How can this keep happening?

And how many times have they said there's there's not going to be any more?

Four?

Each time they find new documents, they say there's not going to be any more documents.

Which shows that if they actually meant that, that shows that he really didn't care about top secret.

Top secret meant nothing to him.

Because if top secret meant something, like it did obviously with Donald Trump, he had them all in one place, a locked room, all in a box or two.

You know what I mean?

So he knew where they were.

He didn't find it, you know, oh, you know what?

I had some in my bathroom.

Yeah, I just tucked it.

I was using it as a bookmark in some magazine.

It's not, that's not the case.

With Joe Biden, that seems to be the case.

They're just anywhere and everywhere.

Does seem like his filing approach.

That's the way he filed papers.

Yeah.

And does, I mean, is.

You know, when you have top secret clearance,

they're looking for, for, will you tell a lie or will you tell the truth?

Are you going to lie?

Can you be blackmailed?

If you have this information, is there anything in your life that black, you know, and things that would come up would be,

I have a hooker-addicted,

crack-addicted son who's doing shady business deals.

Would that count as something?

Okay, you wouldn't get a top secret if it was you if it was me.

You wouldn't get a top secret clearance with that.

Now, when does this start to matter to the average person?

We know that the odds are very high

that Joe Biden has been involved with foreign countries, especially China, on some real shady deals.

Cut Joe Biden out of it.

We know his son.

has been.

We know that Joe Biden knows that his son is doing

deals with China and with burisma.

We know that Hunter Biden doesn't like his dad all that much.

We know that

somebody who's addicted to crack isn't making rational decisions and probably doesn't have, oh, I don't know, the ethics that one might have.

when they would look at a top secret document and go, well, I couldn't share that.

I couldn't sell that.

I mean, I really, really, I mean, I'm breaking out in a sweat.

I got the shakes.

I see leprechauns everywhere because I haven't had my hit and my fix, but I could never sell that document.

When does this hit anyone

that Joe Biden is a danger with top-secret documents with his family?

And that's what's interesting to me.

You know, the fact that he has documents in places that are not as protected as they should be is a problem, but

it's not a problem that rises to the level of what someone could be doing with the documents.

Considering Hunter's past, how do we know these documents aren't what's left after the garage sale?

We don't know how many documents he's or whatever.

And only Chinese government officials were notified that there was a garage sale going on.

Right.

I'm very concerned about that.

I mean, that's really, I think, where this, where this comes down to.

We saw the,

you mentioned China, you mentioned Ukraine.

Also, Latin America seems to be, you know, Southern America, South America seems to be a problem here too with Hunter.

I mean, we know we have emails from Hunter saying he's been dragging, you know, officials from Mexico and other countries to see his dad.

He's promised them all these things.

He says in his own writings that he's given them everything that he wanted as far as meetings and connections, and he hasn't had the business deals he expected in return yet.

And that, so it's been all over the world.

This guy was just milking his name and reaping the benefits all over the world to the tune of

millions, tens of millions of dollars, in some cases billion-dollar deals.

And we don't know how or what.

Was it just his name?

Or did he tip the hand with some of these documents or other inside information that we don't know?

And how much of that was tied to the president?

Because

there's a decent amount of evidence.

And I mean, overwhelming amount of evidence that Biden knew.

Even CNN is now admitting that Biden, Joe Biden knew and met with some of Hunter Biden's business associates.

That's a totally new thing.

We were told over and over again, he didn't even speak in his entire life to his son about his job.

That's what their initial excuse was.

We're now 12 steps off of that.

Every single time they set the barrier a little bit farther.

We keep learning more and more.

And you got to be concerned about what may have happened, not even as much with these specific documents.

We don't know.

But

what these things were being used for outside of this is the real concern.

So, you know, I think there's a lot of people in America, and I'm one of them.

It's like I keep hearing this and I'm like, nothing's going to be done about it.

So I care deeply, but I don't care because nothing's going to happen.

That's my attitude.

Nothing's gonna happen.

Nobody's going to jail.

No justice is gonna be had.

So why am I wasting my time even thinking about this?

Well, you're not wasting your time.

Somebody has to be the record of what is going on.

Okay.

You have to know what's really going on.

Otherwise, you turn into one of the schlubs that are in the zombie patrol right now that can't see

that everything everything that is being told to them is an absolute lie and they're the first to be destroyed by it.

You've got to pay attention to these things and just

keep a running tab.

You have to know who's telling you the truth and who isn't.

Car trouble, let's talk about it.

It always happens when you least expect it and it never happens when it's convenient.

You don't find yourself thinking, gee, I just got that raise at work.

What else could I spend it on?

Also, the changes that are happening in the White House,

the

mostly peaceful riots that happened in Georgia,

and also what's

happening in our

healthcare industry, all coming up.

Don't miss a second of today's broadcast podcast.

Yeah, speaking of all parents dealing with crazy things right now,

there's a story in the New York Times that came out, I think, yesterday.

And I have to admit, I started reading it with the, just the idea of hate reading the New York Times.

You know what I I mean?

I do a lot of that.

Yeah.

I start the article and I'm like, this is going to be so annoying.

I can't wait.

Right.

And that's not a healthy instinct.

No, it's not.

It's not a healthy instinct, but I am.

It's usually correct.

It's usually right.

Right.

I mean, I read, we should, after this, I should tell you about the New York Times on

the reason why we have such a bad deficit.

Oh, my God.

That did not, that did not disappoint my hate reading.

This one is interesting.

We can get into the details of the whole article here in a second, but this is how it starts.

starts.

Jessica Bradshaw found out that her 15-year-old identified as transgender at school after she glimpsed at a homework assignment with an unfamiliar name scrawled at the top.

Now,

can you imagine going and seeing, oh, it's a math homework assignment, and it's like, Bob is at the top of the paperwork.

When she asked about the name, the teenager acknowledged that at his request, again, note the New York Times because I believe

it's a daughter here we're talking about that has transitioned to male.

They're calling him him throughout this piece.

When she asked about the name, the teenager acknowledged that at his request, teachers and administrators at his high school in Southern California had for six months been letting him use the boy's bathroom and calling him by male pronouns.

Now, of course, the New York Times is also doing that here because they are also calling him by male pronouns, even though obviously we're talking about a little girl here mrs bradshaw was confused didn't the school need her permission or at least need to tell oh my gosh you live in california what's wrong with you it did not a counselor later explained because the student did not want his parents to know district and state policy policies instructed the school to respect his wishes it's interesting and i started with this and of course This is the majority of what I feel, the typical New York Times telling the story.

It's so infuriating.

The The story, though, is very long and focuses, I would say, mainly on liberals

who are upset that these policies are leading to them not realizing that their kids are transitioning at school.

Correct.

Many of them highlight it as, look, I'm open to this and I understand it and I think it's real, but shouldn't I be notified?

Shouldn't I have some input in this?

This is an important decision.

Right.

And

you imagine if the schools were teaching um

i i i don't care uh you know

any kind of christianity okay

it could be you know the

the kansas cult uh all the way to you know

catholicism to whatever it is sure whatever it is okay

and

And they were just like, yep, and Jesus is real.

And

it's a holy trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

And, you know, don't tell your parents that we're talking about this.

Don't tell your parents.

Could you imagine what they would say?

You're indoctrinating our kids.

And shouldn't I have a say in this?

Shouldn't I at least be informed that my kid all of a sudden wants to become a Christian?

Of course they would.

Of course.

Of course they would.

Rightly so.

This is how,

this is critical thinking, okay?

This is how you know, wait a minute, if the situation were reversed,

would

I be upset about it?

If you are, then something's wrong.

Okay, because you have to be able to be cool with it.

We used to say in America, I so strongly disagree with you, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it.

Now, we got lost on things like flag-burning bills.

I'm sorry, but the flag is not

the country.

Well, I think burning the cities down.

That's a problem.

The flags that are on top of the buildings that are also burning.

Right.

You want to take a flag.

I think you're an idiot and it makes me mad, but I'm not going to give you power

over me with the flag.

I just look at you and go, you're a moron.

And I walk on by.

You have a right to do despicable things in political speech or any kind of speech.

And by the way.

Oh, yeah, no, you can't, you can't cry

fire in a crowded movie theater.

Yes, you can.

I've done it several times.

What you can't do is cause panic to cause panic.

I want to see a bunch of people stampede out here and a bunch of people get killed.

But if you actually think that there is a fire and you cry fire and you actually believe there is one, that's not against the law.

It's not against the law.

And by the way, that whole case

came from a case with in the First World War under Woodrow Wilson.

Where they were talking about, hey, he's talking out against the war here.

He's saying bad things about our country and our troops that we shouldn't be in there.

And a judge said, yeah, that's going to cause a panic.

That's going to cause some trouble.

So, you know, you can't, you can't cry fire in a crowded movie theater.

So, and most people were like, movie theater?

What's a movie theater?

But that went away.

That's not true.

Right.

It was a terrible Supreme Court rule

that has been dismissed.

Dismissed, overturned.

Yes.

It's, yeah, it's a fascinating, that's a fascinating thing that people go back to all the time.

And you just have to know: is my position consistent?

We say with race all the time.

Change the name.

If you're saying, like, all white people are bad, would you be comfortable with the opposite of that?

Because I guarantee you would say that's a classic example of racism.

Correct.

Well, then what you're saying is something that should not be said either.

Correct.

That should make you uncomfortable.

And when you say, well, to fight racism, I need to use racism.

Okay, well, aren't you the same person that says you can't fight a war

with a war you'll never win with, I mean, I don't even understand that argument because it's proven wrong all the time, but you can't do that.

All right, well, you believe that.

Wait a minute.

What do you mean here?

You are the same person, Ibram Kendi.

That is, yes, doing that.

That's exactly who you are.

The story in the Times is interesting because of this idea that they're kind of, I think the Times at some level is almost talking to liberals liberals here and trying to say, guys, you keep going down this road, we're going to lose everybody.

There's a little bit of that throughout it.

I mean, it talks about how liberal parents who, you know, look, they want to be understanding,

but

let's not be crazy here.

I mean, not only are we talking, Glenn, about

the parents of this one child, right?

But also revealed in those first couple of paragraphs is a situation where every other male,

every other student, parents with male students in this school is now sharing a bathroom with a girl.

And has no idea that it's going on.

They weren't told either.

And this affects everybody in the entire school.

And how did it take so long to get out?

You know, here's the thing.

I will tell you,

for a long time, because I grew up kind of in the hippie Northwest.

So I was raised around a lot of hippies.

I wasn't raised by hippies, but I was my friends, we would go over to my friend's house when I was in high school.

And my friend, before opening the door, would go, I'm really sorry.

My folks are probably getting stoned.

Just ignore them.

And they'd be like, hey, how you guys do?

And we're like, we're fine.

We're just going to go up and do homework.

You know, I mean, it was, it was weird.

It was weird.

And so I came from this kind of, hey, you know, everything is going to be fine.

Tanya, on the other hand, was raised by, you know,

really strict Roman Catholic, Italian family that was like,

what are you doing?

You know what I mean?

And so the two of us parenting has been interesting because she's

she's more hard line than I can't even say that because I'm pretty hard line and stuff.

Anyway, we've kind of merged some things together.

And our philosophy has been, first of all,

don't leave a mark.

Just make no marks.

You know, don't don't don't do something out of your passion that you're like, oh, crap, that's going to leave a mark and it's going to take years of therapy to get past that.

But also, we have felt like we were really not the best parents at times because

our kids will come home and tell us things.

And then, I mean, we've actually said, huh, you know, before I respond to that, I just, I need to go into the other room for just a, just a second.

I just, and then you go into the other room and you grab a pillow and you're like,

okay, we've done that.

We've done that.

And then we come back and we're like, okay, so let's talk about this

because

we need them to talk to us.

And so we've gone through, especially me with my grandfather, because my grandfather was more like Tanya's dad, whereas like, what the hell are you thinking?

You know, probably my grandfather was more than even Tanya's dad.

What the hell are you?

What are you stupid?

And he would be right when he would say that.

And we felt like, are we being too permissive?

We didn't allow them to do these things.

We would always say, that's going to be not so good.

Anxious to see how that philosophy works out for you.

However, we've tried to do everything we can so they will talk to us.

That's the most important thing you can do

is not freak out.

So, because everything we have found out about our kids, all the problems is because they have come to us.

And,

you know, at some points, I'll be like, can you tell this to somebody else?

It's great, though.

It's great.

That is the most important thing to to do.

And it's hard because you look at things and you're like,

okay, don't do that.

Don't do that.

No, don't do that.

Or I did that.

So you definitely don't do that.

Or whatever.

You gotta,

that's the most disturbing thing in that article is read the first sentence again.

Here we go.

Jessica Bradshaw found out that her 15-year-old identified as transgender at school after she glimpsed at a homework assignment with an unfamiliar name scrawled at the top.

Imagine finding that out, that your son or daughter is living a dual life.

And the minute they leave, they're doing something entirely different.

And I mean, you know, because all kids, you know, you're like, wait a minute, where'd you get that mouth?

You know, if you could see if you could hear them at other times, everybody does that.

But this is, I'm not even the name you gave me.

And you had no inkling.

That's the breakdown of the family.

And that is, someone will step into that role.

And they're doing it.

They're pushing it.

They're teaching our kids not to talk to mom and dad.

That's the real problem.

All right.

One of the hardest lessons in life is that stability is a luxury in this world.

Not always there for the enjoying.

You know, wheels kind of coming off from time to time.

Other times, hey, looks great.

May I urge you to look into

being prepared for the wheels coming off.

The Glenn Beck program.

Stu is still trying to give the New York Times the benefit of the doubt here, and he's actually trying to make the case that in this story that they are trying to say, hey, you know, liberals, maybe you should stop saying these things because we're not going to win on that hill.

Yeah, I don't, I guess that's what it is.

It seems like it's speaking to liberals to say, hey, not ident, not even allowing parents to know these things is a step too far.

Maybe you should be a little more critical when you're thinking on this stuff.

Because while they adopt a lot of it, they often point out that these kids, they could have picked any kids, right?

They could have picked the,

like, you know, like you've talked about this with Rosa Parks, where there was someone else who was on the bus and had the same situation, but wasn't like a good PR thing for the movement.

So they waited until they had the right case to push to make sure that this, you know, injustice was served.

This, this particular thing, they could have picked conservative parents who were like, ah, you know, first of all, the election was stolen.

And second of all, my kid's not transgendered.

They could have done all that.

Instead, they picked liberal parents who constantly are...

playing up very rational arguments to their audience.

You know, I understand transgender people go through so much.

and I just want to be there for my kids, but I have to at least be able to know.

They found doctors who are saying, look, parents need to be involved in these moments.

These are really important moments in people's lives, and to just shut them out of this process is very bad for them.

Again, they could have easily found doctors who would say only conservative nut jobs wouldn't allow their kids to transition.

And I think, like, you know, this is separate from this story, but we're another doctor was talking about this recently,

an interview that I heard.

And it was, they were talking about

how

back in the day, the problem was like, let's say, anorexia or cutting or something like that.

And it was how kids were, the emotional problems would act out.

Right.

And now this is how they're acting out.

They're switching genders.

And the difference was we as a society weren't

encouraging the anorexia.

We weren't saying, hey, eat less.

You look a little fat today.

In fact, we were looking at things like magazines and models and things

and saying that's a problem because

you are actually encouraging it without trying to encourage it.

We're trying to encourage it now.

The medical establishment is saying, hey, yes, you should encourage the anorexia in this area.

The medical establishment has absolutely no credibility.

The Glenn Beck program.

All right.

Welcome to the program.

Let me tell you about Rough Greens.

Rough Greens is not a dog food.

It's something you sprinkle on your dog's food.

President Miles, still kicking.

Still kicking.

He's gone.

Still kicking.

We build him a little ramp so he can get down from the step down to go outside because he couldn't really do it anymore.

So we give him, we go out a little ramp.

Yeah, now he goes down very slow.

Uno won't.

Uno won't jump out of the back of the truck anymore.

Really?

Yeah.

It's like, oh,

Miles definitely would not jump out of the back.

But he's so blind.

You could just say, no, there's floor.

Yeah, plenty of time.

Anyway, Rough Greens, they have really helped our dogs live a longer and healthier life.

Rough Greens is a supplement that you sprinkle on top of your dog's food and it gives them everything that they need: antioxidants, probiotics, and all the vitamins and minerals.

Just check it out.

Second hour of the podcast.

Martha listens to her favorite band all the time.

In the car,

gym,

even sleeping.

So when they finally went on tour, Martha bundled her flight and hotel on Expedia to see them live.

She saved so much, she got a seat close enough to actually see and hear them.

Sort of.

You were made to scream from the front row.

We were made to quietly save you more.

Expedia, made to travel.

Savings vary and subject to availability, flight inclusive packages are at all protected.

We gotta stand together.

It's a good survival.

Stand up straight and hold the line.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Back program.

Before my father passed on,

we were talking about

the events of the day.

And he said, I'm just glad I'm not going to be around for,

you know, how you guys are going to clean all this up because this is pretty big.

And I'm like, hey, thanks, Dad.

Thanks.

Appreciate it.

And then he went on to basically quote Omar Bradley.

This is, you know, the Bradley tank was named after him.

In 1948, he said something really profound, and I think it applies absolutely to today.

He said, Humanity is in danger of being trapped in this world by its mortal adolescence.

Our knowledge of science has clearly outstripped our capacity to control it.

We have too many men of science, too few men of God.

We have grasped the mystery of the Adam and rejected the Sermon on the Mount.

Man is stumbling blindly through spiritual darkness while toying with the precarious secrets of life and death.

The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience.

Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.

We now know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living.

So now,

what do we do about it?

60 seconds, we're back.

Let me tell you first about Life Lock.

Here's a nice thought.

If you don't have to worry 24-7 about the likelihood of something happening that would be really tragic, wouldn't that be a blessing in your life?

You don't have to worry about it because somebody's watching out for you, and that is Life Lock.

They're watching the cyber criminals.

And, you know, it's hard to imagine, but cyber crime has shot through the roof every year since the invention of the internet.

And it is getting so sophisticated now that nobody can stop everything.

But if you don't have anybody watching you're really you can really be screwed with lifelock you can have some peace of mind so join now save up to 25% off your first year with the promo code Beck call 800 lifelock 1-800 Lifelock or head to lifelock.com use the promo code Beck and save 25%

Okay

So what are we doing?

Are we really solving anything?

Are we using any eternal principles to solve anything in our society?

We're not.

We're listening to the so-called experts, and these experts are bringing us all these brand new ideas.

The latest is a trillion-dollar coin

that the treasury can mint and then give it to the Federal Reserve.

It'd be made out of platinum.

Oh.

Well, I hope that trillion-dollar platinum coin is hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and thousands of pounds of platinum because that's what it would take.

We're listening to people who

don't have our best interest at heart.

They are working on an agenda, and they are trying to make everything into left and right, and one or the other is going to be absolutely right, and the other one is absolutely wrong.

We have to go back to our principles, our founding principles.

You know, I couldn't take it when, we'll play it later when Kamala Harris was talking about, you know, our rights under the Constitution.

Really?

Now you care?

But I love it if they actually meant it.

You have certain inalienable rights.

And

those rights, all of them, are being violated right now.

All of them.

And we're exchanging those rights for, I don't even know anymore.

You know, we, we, on September 11th, we traded our right to privacy.

We traded our right to

having a small government that couldn't just do whatever they wanted.

We traded that right for the Patriot Act because we wanted to feel good.

I don't know what it is now.

This weekend, we have seen uprisings in Georgia.

Then we saw a really tragic shooting in California.

And politicians immediately spoke out about both.

One was fine, mostly peaceful, and the other one was, of course, white supremacy, which is weird because the guy who did it was Asian.

But somehow or another, he's part of white supremacy.

There's something that is the ATF is doing that is absolutely beyond the realm.

While you feel less safe

because more criminals are on the streets,

because

the DA's office, usually when the office is controlled by George Soros, they are just letting criminals go.

The DA used to be the guy who would stand up for the victim.

But now we've switched that

with disregard to

thousands of years

of precedent, of showing that when the prosecuting attorney, when the DA, if you will,

when that person

that is declared by law to clean up crime, when they are clean and they are looking to defend the victim, things are great.

When they're dirty or they just have just a sweet, sweet spirit for

the criminals and disregard the victim, society falls apart.

Well, that's what's happening because, again,

we're not applying any common sense.

We're listening to, quote, men of science when we now know men of science have been totally corrupted.

The ATF has just put a new rule out.

It puts 40 million people

at risk of being felons.

Joe Biden instructed the ATF, a bunch of unelected bureaucrats that don't, you don't know their name,

you didn't see this process.

Nobody voted on this process.

But thanks to Woodrow Wilson, we have an out-of-control administrative arm, and now the ATF is just making up new laws.

They have finalized a rule that will turn 40 million Americans into somebody that can be hauled off to prison.

They have reclassified firearms

with pistol braces as short-barreled rifles.

Short-barreled rifles are illegal.

You can get a special stamp for them.

The ATF, if you have any kind of special weapon,

you have an old Gatling gun, you have an automatic rifle,

you have to have an ATF stamp.

You get it from the government.

They do months of investigation on you to make sure that you're going to be safe with that.

And then it has all kinds of rules.

that if you don't keep it safe, if you're traveling without it, you hand it to somebody else who's not on your stamp, that you and they can go to prison.

I mean, it's crazy.

Now,

they have just decided that these guns

that were legal to buy are not going to be grandfathered in.

They were absolutely legal to buy.

They now have to be surrendered to the ATF.

So you have to give them to the ATF or you have to ask for the stamp and you'll have 120 days to come into a compliance.

Either give them the gun or get the stamp.

As someone who has one of those stamps but would have to apply for a new stamp for a gun like this,

I can guarantee you

there's no way in hell that you're going to get that stamp in 120 days.

There's no way.

First of all, they have to issue 40 million.

Now, as somebody who has done this under the Obama administration, it took me eight months, closer probably to a year to get that stamp.

Never thought it would ever come, honestly.

Now, they have rules.

They have to do it within, I don't know, 200 days or whatever it is.

They have to issue that stamp.

Otherwise, you know, it's their fault.

And what are you going to, I'm going to call the police.

What am I going to

they issue it when they want to issue it so you have to now either say I want to get a stamp here are my fingerprints here's a picture of the gun here's where I'm keeping it here's all of my information you send it in and I want to get that stamp But if you don't have the stamp in 120 days, you're a felon.

You're committing a felony.

Now, you could say this is

just,

they just overlooked that.

They just didn't think that one through.

But that's the way it's written.

There's no out.

It's not like, oh, well, you're in the process for getting a stamp.

No,

in 120 days, you're just a felon.

Now, they're not going to arrest 100 and or sorry, they're not going to arrest 40 million people,

but I can guarantee you they'll arrest some.

So what do you do?

Do you apply for the stamp that you're not going to get, at least in 120 days, and roll the dice?

Are you going to turn that gun into the ATF?

I don't even know how to call the ATF.

Are they in the phone book?

I don't.

Where are they?

How do I turn that in?

This seems a little German.

If I remember my history right, you know, hey, turn your guns in.

But then if you were in the street with the gun, that was illegal.

Then they could legally shoot you.

I kind of remember something like that.

I'd like to make sure that doesn't happen again.

How do you do that?

And are they going to have 40 million people do it?

By the way, this is just the gateway drug.

This is just the gateway.

Okay.

This isn't a machine gun or anything else.

This is a gun that is about the size of a

very large, larger than a very large pistol.

And the stock goes into the gun.

It collapses into itself.

So you could use it, you know, as like a pistol, but

it's built to put up against your shoulder.

And anybody who knows anything about guns, if you're using one of these, you better just be spraying everything with bullets because you're not going to be very accurate.

And they're not machine guns, so you're not spraying them.

Anyway, these were perfectly legal.

Now it's 10 years in jail and a $10,000 fine.

So you just have to reclassify now.

I don't remember anything where we've ever done this before.

Maybe we have.

If anybody can remember, I'd love to hear from you.

But I don't think they've ever done this before.

It's always been grandfathered.

And this also seems like the type of thing we have a big debate about.

Oh, yeah.

We have a bill that's proposed.

It goes through a process.

People need to vote on it.

Like, what is this process?

All of a sudden, this stuff, there's just 40 million illegal people they've created out of thin air?

That seems like a, that doesn't seem like how our government runs.

Is there a court challenge that we can...

No, and I think that's what people are waiting for is a court challenge.

But

I mean,

luckily, all my guns.

I mean, unfortunately, all my guns.

Yeah, you said luckily.

What you meant was unfortunately?

Unfortunately.

All your guns, what?

All my guns are at the bottom of a lake.

I was up.

I was going to take them and throw them off the top of Mount Grumpet.

Really?

Yeah, just take those guns and dump them.

And on the way,

they just slid down and they all went to the bottom of this lake.

Do you remember which lake we could look for?

We can't.

It was somewhere around Mount Crump, but...

Okay.

We could just look.

So look, that's at least where I remember the name, but it might not have been the name of the mountain.

I don't know.

I've got to call and report those all at the bottom of the lake.

I just don't understand.

Again, there are these protections, but like the Second Amendment, I think, quite clearly protects these things.

You can't do this.

I think we've already done far too much.

The process you had to go through should not have existed in the first place.

And I think, you know,

there have been attempts to overturn things like the automatic weapons ban, for example, which again,

you can say you don't want automatic weapons in this country.

That's a very, very, it's a very,

maybe even sensible view.

However, you can't just overwhelm

constitutional amendments with what you want.

So, but this is the problem here.

This, no matter what joe biden says and no matter what you know common sense would tell you and only the people without common sense will tell you common sense says this you know joe biden you're gonna need f-16s and you're gonna need

tanks to fight the united states really because the taliban did a pretty good job i mean they're back in power huh who would have thunk it They didn't have F-16s.

Well, they do now, obviously.

Well,

of course,

at the end, if you just have some old weapons that barely function, you can beat the United States, and then you get the good stuff at the end.

It's really difficult to go door to door to take out a population that is at war with you.

By the way, of course, this is a ridiculous scenario.

That's what they want you to do.

They want you to believe, like, think of yourself and look down your driveway, and here comes a bunch of tanks, and all you have is this gun.

You can't do anything.

Then that situation would be very difficult.

But, of course, going door to door and trying to clear a city of people fighting back against you, which obviously this is all stuff we hope never, ever occurs and would only occur if they went down this road even farther, right?

People would not,

we're not at the verge of, you know, as much as it feels like it at times, we're not about to have a civil war.

Let's calm down a little bit here.

Let's not, let's not have a civil war.

That's really, really bad.

You really, really don't want to be at war with your government.

It's really, really bad.

It doesn't usually work out for anybody.

Anybody, ever.

It's really terrible.

But like like this idea that you can't stop a more powerful force with small arms it's just not

it's not true and and like what yes i guess in

david and golias yeah it's kind of a fundamental story to the human experience

but i mean what are you gonna do yes you could i guess nuke every single city right you could nuke everyone and kill all your allies and your opponents right

and then what are you ruling over A nuclear wasteland?

I don't understand.

This is not, this is just a ridiculous argument to make you not think.

Having the ability to protect yourself against a government that could go into tyranny is exactly why you don't have tyranny.

That's why it happens, because you have that ability.

It's why we are still on the same constitution from hundreds of years ago and every other country on earth has switched numerous times.

This is an important part of our culture and our foundation, and we need to keep it.

Yeah,

I just don't understand

other than they are trying to disarm you.

The only reason why we haven't fallen into real tyranny is because the government still kind of fears you.

Okay.

Used to fear you at the election, you know, at the ballot.

I'm not sure that really is

there anymore.

They used to fear you.

Giant corporations used to fear you because you could stop buying stuff.

I'm not sure because now the government will just partner with them and they'll buy the stuff.

They are trying to take away everything that gives you at least

a chance to give them pause.

That's all it is.

And that's why the Second Amendment is there.

And that should never

be infringed.

My question is,

if you have one of these guns,

what are you going to do?

Back in a minute.

Good ranchers, where does the meat that you put on the table for your family come from?

I don't mean which store.

I mean which farm?

Where does it actually come from?

Does it even come from America?

If buying meat that's source from local farms right here in America is something that matters to you, then you really, really need to try out Good Ranchers.

Not only is all of their meat grown here in the U.S., but it's amazing quality.

Right now you can get over two pounds of chicken free in every box for an entire year when you subscribe.

You can get a year's worth of chicken for free when you subscribe to any Good Ranchers box at goodranchers.com.

So change the way you buy meat.

Switching to Good Ranchers is a great idea.

Make sure you subscribe today, use the promo code GLENN and claim your free chicken for a year and $20 off your first box.

New Year, New You.

More like the new year,

we need new ideas and new meat with good ranchers.

Good ranchers, American meat delivered.

10 Second Station ID.

I want to tell you a great story.

We were just talking about ranchers and farmers.

There was a farmer.

His name was Hody Childress, and he lived in a small little town called Geraldine, Alabama.

And he had,

you know, his life savings, retirement savings.

He was not living high on the hog, so to speak.

About 10 years ago, he walked into his local drugstore and pulled the owner aside and said, Are there people here in town that just can't afford to pay for their medications?

And the pharmacist said, Yeah, unfortunately, a lot.

That farmer said, You're not allowed to tell anyone, and he gave $100 a month to that pharmacist so he could help people in his community without ever being known.

He died last week, and the pharmacist thought his town should know.

This guy did a lot and never took any credit at all.

There are really good people still among us.

And

we don't know them, but they're everywhere.

The Glenn Back Program.

When most of your time is spent in pain, the thing that you're constantly looking for is pure and simple hope.

That's it.

It's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you're down, but there is light.

There is hope.

I know I've been there.

Relief Factor.

Relief Factor helped me get my life back.

If you or someone you love are dealing with pain, please give Relief Factor a try.

It's not a drug.

It was developed by doctors and it has four key ingredients that work with your body to fight inflammation, which causes most of our pain and honestly most of our disease.

The three-week quick start is only $19.95.

Right now, it's a trial pack, and hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on to order more.

So call Relief Factor at 800, the number four.

Relief, 800 for Relief.

Get the 1995 three-week quick start now, relieffactor.com.

800, the number four relief.

Relief Factor.

Feel the difference.

We have an expert on...

What's happening with these firearms.

What are they called?

They're called now short-barreled rifles because the government has changed that.

But they're, you know, they're these little, like, they're AR-15s, but they have a collapsible stock.

So it comes out and pulls out, and it just makes it smaller, easier to carry, and everything else.

But I don't even understand this.

I don't even understand this.

The ATF,

have they passed this or not?

I mean, decided.

I have read this two ways, that they have already decided, and the 120 days is starting soon, if not now.

And then the other is, well, they haven't officially decided.

But they're saying at the same time, if you want to avoid 10 years in jail and have a potential $10,000 fine, you must reclassified your legally obtained weapon as short-barreled rifles.

And you have to do that through the tax stamp system, which is the worst.

It'll take you months.

With this administration...

This sounds like it's something out of the Revolutionary Times.

Oh, it's horrible.

The tax stamp system?

Horrible.

It seems like something like people with powdered wigs discussed.

Right.

You will only have 120 days to bring your firearms into compliance.

ATF warns Americans with pistol braces are likely already violating the National Firearms Act by possessing an unregistered rifle with a barrel less than 16 inches.

So they're saying

you got to register it.

But even if you're doing that,

you are most likely already

in violation of the Firearms Act.

Which is a felony.

Oh, just that.

Yeah.

This does.

Now, Glenn, this feels like the type of thing the courts will get a hold of and say, no, of course you can't do that.

Obviously, you can't do that.

Right.

Now, I hate depending on that because it seems like it's the last barrier between us and insanity over and over and over again.

And eventually it's not going to work.

Okay, so

here's the thing.

If this stands, if this stands, what's to stop them from saying, because Joe Biden's already said it, there's no reason for semi-automatic handguns.

Almost every gun in America is a semi-automatic.

All that means is that it's not a revolver.

We used to have, you know, like the Cowboys, they had six bullets in a revolver.

They just back in the 1900, 1800s period, they redesigned the revolver.

And you got the 9-11 handgun, which just loads instead of a circle in a line underneath.

He's now saying...

that's every gun.

For people who don't know guns, it's basically every gun you buy.

Every gun.

What is it?

85%, 90% of guns?

At least.

I think you have to buy old tiny guns.

There's shotguns, I guess.

I mean, there's a couple of.

Well, some, my shotgun is semi-automatic.

Yeah, that's true.

But I mean, the typical shotgun, I guess you wouldn't describe that way.

Right.

You know, but there's a few, but it's very, it's very rare.

So

what's to stop them from just saying, oh, by the way, you have to register all of your semi-automatics.

And if you don't, if you don't get the tax stamp, then

you're committing a felony.

This cannot happen.

Nixon cannot happen.

Nixon looked at this closely to try to make all handguns illegal back when he was president.

Again, this is not all Democrats.

This is a progressivism problem.

And it goes back to even the Nixon administration, where he, you know,

on the Nixon tapes, mused about how he wanted to get rid of all handguns.

How did he get rid of all of them?

You think that these guys aren't doing the same thing?

If Nixon was doing it, you don't think these guys have updated this approach?

And this is obviously a first step in that direction.

Clearly, if they get away with this, they'll do it with other models.

So here's the ATF director.

He said last week, the rule prevents people from circumventing the laws Congress passed almost a century ago.

Now, people are saying he's redefining the rifle.

You can't redefine, you know, what a rifle is.

He says, almost a century ago, Congress determined that short-barreled rifles must be subject to heightened requirements.

Today's rule makes clear firearm manufacturers, dealers, and individuals cannot evade these important public safety protections simply by adding accessories to pistols that

transform them into short-barreled rifles.

But the same FDA, FATF, ATF, determined in 2012 that pistol braces do not alter the classification of a pistol or other firearm.

So

do we listen to the ATF then or listen to the ATF now?

Because that was 2012.

That wasn't under Trump.

That was under Obama.

So which one is right?

Do we follow the science?

Is the new science the right science?

Don't eat butter, eat butter, don't eat butter, eat butter.

This is insanity.

This is insanity.

It's like the question about the student loan program.

Do we listen to the current Department of Education who says absolutely we can relieve all student debt?

No, don't worry about it.

Or do we listen to the one from the, I don't know if you remember this period in our history, but the Biden administration.

from like the early Biden administration when they were saying, you can't do this.

This is obviously not something we have the power to do.

Which one do you listen to?

I mean, the progressives always say you should listen to the one that's larger, the one with more power.

Just listen to that one all the time.

We'll listen to the one we want at that moment.

But like, I don't know.

I mean, you know, this is, again, going to hit a lot of people.

This, and I don't know.

40 million.

I don't know guns like you do, Glenn.

But like, these seems to be, these seem to be the type of guns.

You go into a gun store and you want to buy an AR-15, and they say, you know, you can get an AR-15, but also we have this, and it's classified as a pistol, and it might be more convenient for multiple reasons.

So maybe you should consider this.

And it's like...

I don't know anybody that's, I mean, everybody that I know that has one of these, and let's just say hypothetically I have one.

We know you don't.

I don't.

You're just saying.

Hypothetically.

Anyway, let's say hypothetically I had one of these guns.

I would have bought it for fun.

Because, you know,

I have an AR.

I would have bought it because it is like a pistol and you can, you know, shoot from the hip.

I can't hit a damn thing shooting, assuming I had ever even tried one of those.

Hypothetically.

Yeah, I mean,

it would take a lot of just shooting from the hip

at a great distance.

That's difficult.

I mean, you're just not doing it.

Right.

However,

it's a great pistol.

It functions, though.

It can function essentially like an AR.

Yeah.

Yeah.

If you pull the stock out, I guess it could, I mean, it would be a bad AR.

But I mean, at least you'd have better aim, but it'd be

rather have my AR than that.

Right.

But it'd be almost in between.

Right.

And it's classified differently.

So, you know,

there's some advantages to that, I see.

Yeah, but none of this.

But now it's not.

None of this makes a difference.

None of this makes a difference.

I mean, I'm glad it's classified as a pistol.

You know, if I were somebody who had

security that, you know, couldn't kill you with their, you know, pinkies,

What you do

This would be a great gun to have this the kind of gun that the Secret Service has under their coats

You know, they can use it like a little machine gun because theirs would be automatic and they could pop open the back and put it as a rifle.

I mean, it's a great gun.

It's a great gun,

but it's legal.

It's been legal.

They've been selling them for years legally.

You can't just make me into a felon because I bought some legal thing.

Yeah, and I don't think you can make it illegal anyway.

Even if you wanted to pass a law that said, we're going to make this type of gun illegal.

I think that would violate the Second Amendment.

I think you'd go to court and you'd lose.

That's my own personal opinion.

What do you do in the meantime?

However, though, yeah, I'm saying, though, this is different.

Usually, as you point out, these things are grandfathered in.

You know, you can go around and buy fully automatic weapons.

You can do that.

Even though back then...

They cost you you a

fortune, and they're horrible.

They all had to be made by, like, what is it, 1982?

Yeah, there's two big lines there.

In the 20s, there was a line, and then there was another line in the 80s, 86, I think it was.

Yeah.

And anything, so all that stuff is manufactured pre-1986.

So, of course, it's, you know,

very, very expensive.

Tens of thousands of dollars, right?

Tens of thousands.

I can't even imagine what they are now.

I know before

when Obama was elected,

I knew somebody who went and bought one.

Hypothetically.

Hypothetically.

And it was about 20 or 30 grand.

Then.

Then.

Then.

And all sorts of loopholes, legal

hurdles to clear before you could do that.

You can do it, though.

You can do it.

They are not banned.

But you're not.

There's close to banned.

You are generally not a criminal.

And because you wouldn't go get the tax stamp from the government if you were a drug lord.

right uh and you couldn't afford them you know most people cannot afford them and so they're gun collectors that have them and uh

you know

what what is the problem who's got a who's got that tax stamp and have we had a problem with the this asian guy you know that he didn't use an he didn't use a an ar

yeah right it was an automatic pistol they said or a semi-automatic pistol yeah that's just called a pistol right let's make sure that everybody understands.

Semi-automatic means every pistol you've ever seen.

Yeah.

Unless you were watching a Western.

Right.

And that's called a revolver.

Everything else is semi-automatic.

I think the line they were trying to draw with this guy was that he had an extended, would it be magazine?

I know everyone gets crazy on the magazine and clip thing.

It's not a clip.

It's a magazine, right?

Okay, I said magazine first.

I thought I knew it.

I get stuff wrong all the time.

I'm very nervous talking about this.

Me too.

But I think they are saying he had an extended magazine of some sort that was illegal.

They said the weapon was likely illegal in the state, which is fascinating.

Wait, what?

What?

Yeah, illegal in the state to have, which is weird.

For some reason,

it had been, it was still there.

I don't know.

Now, that is weird.

These guys that murder just do not follow the letter of the law.

Why?

Why?

Why?

Just

look, when you want to murder, okay, I understand.

I wouldn't do it, but can you at least follow the gun laws?

And did you see how quickly and embarrassingly the media switched from, hey, this is an anti-AAPI hate murder spree by some white guy who doesn't like Asians because of COVID, which is the most bizarre narrative I've ever heard.

Well, I just hope that Facebook

have banned.

Peter Chiff and Chuck Schumer.

I hope that Google has labeled this misinformation.

Adam Schiff, I believe it's.

Or yeah, Adam Schiff.

I just hope they're labeled as

somebody that could be potentially dangerous for their misinformation at a time of real stress.

Sure.

Sure, they will.

And then the second it went to, oh, God, this is an Asian guy?

Oh, okay.

Wow, the guns are really bad in this country, huh?

They just immediately switch narratives.

Wouldn't you, I mean, it would be so easy if you were a liberal.

Life would be so easy.

It would be so much better.

Why didn't we do, we should have just picked that way i mean we would have been out of a job and yeah failures but we didn't think anything through you know we weren't we're not doing this because we actually believe stuff oh yeah i forgot about that uh all right if you're uh if you like getting some of the best sleep of your life and who doesn't you need the giza dream sheets from my pillow my pillow is the uh

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

I'm looking at just thenews.com, which is a great site.

If you're looking for the truth on things, really, really good website, just thetruth.com.

But as I'm looking through this, they have put together all of the top 10

fatality

gun incidents in America, along with what state they happened to be in and

what their Gifford grade was.

Do they have really, really strong or really poor, in their opinion, Gifford,

gun laws, really lax.

Texas is number one with Robb Elementary School

and these are all before, you know, since 2020.

Texas is number one.

And it gets an F.

So we have really lax gun laws here.

The next four,

three of which are in California and one of which is in New York.

So four out of the top five are in California and New York.

And

I don't think any of them, I mean, the 18-year-old kills 12 at Robb Elementary, the Monterey Park shooting, this is the one that just happened over the weekend, a ballroom dance studio shot up Lunar New Year celebration.

This, it appears to be, we don't know yet, but it appears to be a guy in a domestic dispute who went off his nut and went in and started shooting a bunch of people, an Asian shooting a bunch of Asians.

This is not, this is not the gun's fault.

This is not hate's fault.

This is mental disorders.

Same with the 18-year-old.

The Boulder grocery store shooting.

That's number three.

That happened in Colorado.

Suspect declared not fit to stand trial.

Why is it we're not talking about America's mental health?

Because that's really the problem here, is the mental health of our nation.

Been a bit of a theme on today's program.

It has been.

Several different topics.

We've talked about that if it were related to the same

issue.

It's fascinating, though.

The gun control laws seem to do nothing here.

Our mental health and our spiritual health.

If we would just address those two things, and I mean honestly address them not with politicians in Washington, but find ways ourselves in our own communities to be able to address mental health and spiritual health.

We would be, I bet, 80% on the right track.

Why isn't anybody talking about it?

With suicide rates and shootings like this, why is no one talking about mental health?

Welcome to the program last hour.

But no, she's not.

She's not?

No.

Did you notice she missed something in the Declaration of Independence?

That all men and women are endowed with certain rights.

First of all, we missed creator

and they are rights of liberty in the pursuit of happiness.

Doesn't that sound right?

You had creator, you had unalienable, which is another one,

and then life.

It's a little revealing.

It's like she realizes she's, I think you feel like she's hearing in her head the argument back to her.

You said that I said life.

And so she stops herself and says, liberty and happiness and pursuit of happiness.

Like, no, life's in there too.

And the yes, that completely dissolves your abortion argument.

Learn to live with it.

Learn to live with your argument being crappy.

Just say the words that are actually there.

I love these people.

They just

pick around.

I mean, it's not like that's a famous saying or anything.

Right.

Everyone.

Every American knows that.

Well, except for.

Yeah, it's true.

Joe Biden.

You know the rest of it.

There's only one place where history, culture, and adventure meet on the National Mall.

Where museum days turn to electric lights.

Where riverside sunrises glow and monuments shine in moonlight.

Where there's something new for everyone to discover.

There's only one DC.

Visit Washington.org to plan your trip.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together in the corner survival.

Stand up, stand, and hold the light.

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

What you're about to hear

is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

All right, I've been trying to follow this new ATF ruling about,

you know, these pistol brace guns that they they say are now

no longer legal.

And if you have one, forget the grandfather clause.

If you have one, no, you're going to be a felony.

You're going to commit a felony if you haven't turned it in or gotten a tax stamp, which is damn near impossible.

In fact, I got to just say it.

It's impossible to get in the timeframe.

And the ATF is saying, you know, even if you do all those things right now, you're probably committing a felony just by having one.

Wait a minute, what?

What the hell does this mean?

What do we do?

If you happen to have one of these guns, you might want to pay attention.

If you actually believe in the Second Amendment, you might want to pay attention because this isn't about just this gun.

If the ATF can change the definition of things so they can just recall and

gather up your information, register you with the federal government, and then also

declare a felony because of a new definition.

Do you really think we're going to have anything but a cowboy six shooter?

And even that might be in peril.

We're going to talk to an attorney, the guy who has up on this, actually talked to the ATF about it.

He's from Gun Owners of America.

We're going to talk to him in 60 seconds.

You and I both know life is really busy, and something like switching from one mobile carrier to another just sounds like a hassle.

I mean I like to do it, but I'm not gonna do it.

You know what I mean?

But I also bet you're not thrilled with your cell phone bill every month.

I will also bet that you're probably even less thrilled about paying money to these big companies that donate to leftist causes and are trying to, you know, destroy the family and donate money to, you know, Planned Parenthood as Verizon does.

Patriot Mobile is now offering service with a three-month with all three major carriers, which means that if you're with one of the big three and you like their service but you hate their values and their prices, you can access them with Patriot Mobile.

This comes with a performance guarantee.

If you're not happy with your coverage, you can switch among the three major carriers for free.

You don't have to be with one of the major carriers, but

you want to stand with a company and give them less money over there on the left?

This is the way to do it.

Patriot Mobile.

They share your values.

They are not sending your hard-earned money in the aid of destruction of America.

We have Stephen

Stambalia on the phone with us.

Stephen, welcome to the program.

How are you, sir?

I'm doing well.

It's an honor to talk to you, Glenn, and even Stu.

And even Stu.

Wow.

Stephen.

Don't lower yourself, Stephen.

I've lost so much respect for you already.

Hey,

I watched your YouTube video.

I think it was from the SHOT Show last week.

And I am trying to even understand what is going on with the pistol brace rule because this could make 40 million Americans felons.

Is this in effect now?

Has the clock started to tick?

Where are we on this?

Okay, so on Friday the 13th, they...

put out this final rule, but it did not publish it in the Federal Register.

I got back from shot on late Friday night.

I have not even checked the Federal Register to see if it has been, quote, published in the Federal Register.

But publishing it in the Federal Register is what starts the clock ticking for you to do the things the ATF says you need to do to either remain compliant with the law

or their new law that they've just created because, well, they hate all of us,

or you know, turn in your rifle, your pistol, whatever, or just ignore it and then become a felon and go spend some time in Club Fed.

Jeez.

Okay, so

it could have started.

We don't know yet.

We can find out.

Can you see it?

How do you check the Federal Register?

I don't even know.

How do you do that?

Can the average person do that?

Yeah, and that's exactly what they say is the average person has

their

I can't even remember the exact language, but once it's published in the Federal Register, everyone is just deemed to be on notice that it's been published in the Federal Register and have knowledge of whatever is in the Federal Register, even though most people don't have this masochistic street where they want to, you know, punish themselves by reading thousands of pages of bureaucratic regulations.

I'm just about on the page here to search for it, and there's 908,512 documents, which surely I know everything that is in those documents.

Well, you do if you're responsible and you check it every morning like I do.

So,

what do you search for in this?

Do you just

search for,

you know, bad guns?

Evil guns.

The

stabilizing braces.

Stabilizing braces, correct.

Okay, look for stabilizing braces.

Okay.

So once this has been published, then we have 120 days to either get rid of the gun.

Let me actually read something to you.

This is the way it was pushed today.

Let's see.

That

you can get rid of the brace, destroy,

get the tax stamp, which is impossible, and you can explain that later, at least in time to comply.

Or destroy the pistol brace,

or you can

or you can turn your gun into the ATF.

I don't even know where the ATF is.

Or you can go to prison.

So can we destroy the pistol brace?

So, they say that you can destroy the pistol brace, and the ATF has various methods of how you're supposed to destroy it.

I mean, the easiest thing would be to, you know, I guess crush it up, throw it away, right?

But, yeah, that is one of your options.

You can absolutely destroy your pistol brace.

You can absolutely destroy your firearm if you're so inclined to do, and you can 100% turn in your firearm to the ATF.

I'm sure they would appreciate free guns.

Free guns.

Last thing.

Right, well, for them.

Yeah.

Right.

So the other thing they tell us to do is,

since they're so kind and so gracious, they're going to allow us this one-time opportunity to get a free tax stamp.

And Glenn, you spoke about how hard it was to get a text stamp.

You know, you're looking at

over a year wait.

I mean, it's like a year wait right now before they want to add 40

million.

Right.

Right.

And if you take the ATF number, that's 3 million.

If you take Congressional Research Service, who's bipartisan, they say up to 40 million.

Let's go with 40 million, right?

Or anywhere in between.

It doesn't matter.

They're going to over, like just completely inundate the system with people trying to comply, right?

Because most citizens just want to comply with the law so they don't get their door kicked in, their dog shot, and their gun seized.

So, yeah, I mean, it's not going to happen within a year.

I mean, maybe two years.

Maybe.

And

you are a felon if you have it in those two years, correct?

Even if you've applied.

So the way that they say this, and this is what gives me so much heartburn about this, is they're saying we were wrong when we told you over and over and over and over again that a braced pistol is not a short-barrel rifle.

It's always been a short-barreled rifle.

We just said the wrong thing and it's our bad.

Sorry.

So you're a felon if you have it now.

But since we're such nice people, if you go through the process of registering it, right, so you go and you do your E-form one or your paper form, whatever, and you submit this to the ATF along with your photographs and your fingerprints, your address, and a picture of the firearm.

We will deem you to be in compliance, even though you have a short-barrel rifle because you've said it's a short-barrel rifle, because they said it's a short-barrel rifle.

and you don't have a tax stamp for it.

You are per se in violation of the law, but they're going to use their enforcement discretion to not come after you, assuming you do the things they tell you to do.

Well, the ATF has also warned, reading from the article, Americans with pistol braces are likely already violating the National Firearms Act by possessing an unregistered rifle with a barrel of less than 16 inches.

So

they're already saying, you know, yeah, and even if you're doing all this, you're probably already a felon.

I mean, this is madness.

Committing the crime.

You're committing, you've committed the crime by having, with their new definition,

a braced pistol that fits into one of their multiple

subjective criteria.

You are committing the felony now.

And that's why they use enforcement discretion, because you only use enforcement discretion if you're violating the law.

There's no need to use enforcement discretion if you're not in violation of any law because there's nothing to enforce.

So,

I mean,

so what do we do?

I mean, because I don't think, I mean, this can't pass a test in the courts.

I mean, it would in, you know, maybe California and New York, but it's not going to ⁇ even the Ninth Circuit would probably overturn this.

Do we have time?

What do you do?

Do you just sit here and wait it out?

You know, that's a good question.

What do you do?

I'm wholly uncomfortable admitting to the ATF that I've committed a felony, even though they said they're not going to prosecute me in their enforcement discretion, because that changes.

And we've seen from almost everything the ATF does.

They constantly change their mind.

I mean, look at bump stocks, right?

Look at the 80% lowers.

And now look at the pistol braces.

So, I mean, they have a demonstrable history of being wrong and changing their mind on everything.

So, what's to stop them from changing their mind on enforcement discretion or saying, well, Mr.

Beck, you just didn't do it good enough, and now we're going to prosecute you.

So, I mean, to answer your question, what do you do?

I mean, there are some organization that is going to be suing them on this year

pretty soon.

I can't imagine what that organization would be, but

it's a secret to everybody.

Yeah, it wouldn't be the gun owners of America, I'll tell you that right now.

Yeah.

Okay, so

some organization is going to be suing them.

And how is that?

How long is that going to take?

Well, it depends on,

oh gosh, so many different things.

You know, we would or the organization would absolutely seek a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction

throughout the litigation, right?

So if that organization could get the rule held in abeyance while the court is deciding whether or not the ATF can just keep willy-nilly changing its mind on everything, then

within 120 days, we would expect to have some kind of answer.

And 120 days, it's plenty enough time for the court to decide whether or not to hold a rule and, you know, just enjoin it pending litigation.

I mean, it's plenty of time for them to do that.

And then it gives you

120 days and it gives you lots of opportunity in case they go

against you.

Can you give your, like, for instance,

I live in two different counties and I love my sheriffs.

And, you know, until this thing is worked out, can I just go to my sheriff and say, here, take this until this is, you know, you can use it.

If it turns out to be, you know, a felony to own it, you guys take it and you use it.

But

I don't want to possess it.

I mean, I'm, because I am,

I'd be the perfect target.

You know what I mean?

They're not going to, they're not going to throw 40 million people in prison, but they will throw maybe a couple hundred and that will teach everyone else.

Oh, we can do this to them.

We're coming for you.

Right.

Yeah.

I mean, you can absolutely turn it into your sheriff for, quote, safekeeping while you're, you know, paying attention to what we're doing in the courts to see if we're successful in the courts.

And I don't know why we wouldn't be.

I mean, this is just so obvious.

It's like the definition of arbitrary and capricious.

If you open up a dictionary, it's got to have a picture of the ATF right there.

Yeah, but you would also have, if this passes, then they can say all semi-automatics.

I mean, Joe Biden's already saying semi-automatic handguns are a problem.

There's no use for them.

That's every gun that's sold unless you're buying an old Western gun.

Right.

And, you know, that's funny that you say that.

It just jogged my memory.

And

I think it was the Sixth Circuit GOA bumpstock case,

the senior

deputy counsel for DOJ could not answer whether or not all semi-automatic firearms were machine guns.

Like all ARC.

When the court asked him, he's like, I'm not prepared to answer that.

And I thought, well, by God, that's a really easy question.

No.

Right.

The answer is no.

But if you don't answer it now, you can answer it when you do it in a rule.

And then, I mean, is this the first time that you've seen something that hasn't had a grandfather clause in it?

Well, no.

I mean, because look at bump stocks, right?

You know, after Trump directed DOJ and the ATF to basically strike out bump stocks with a pen,

you know, all of them turn them in, Mr.

and Mrs.

America.

You're now felons and you've always, this bump stock, even though we said prior to this it was legal, 100% legal, not a machine gun.

I know this is a common theme with the ATF.

We were wrong, and they are actually machine guns, and we're going to use our enforcement discretion

not to come after you.

However, you can't register them because AT and USC 922-0 does not allow you to have new machine guns just prior to 1986 machine guns.

So, you know, you could still own a machine gun.

Does the fact that that wasn't challenged or

did it lose?

Can we say the fact that Republicans rolled over as Trump did this and said nothing about it?

Right.

Does that hurt us on this now?

Now there's more precedent for it.

Well,

what's great about the bump stock stuff is

in the Sixth Circuit, GOA won

at the panel, at like the three-judge panel stage, and basically the court just really called out the ATF and said, you can't do this.

And then when it went to the Enbank court, basically the full court, they evenly split.

And an even split is a bad thing if you lose in the trial court because what it does is it affirms the trial court ruling because the unbanked court couldn't agree on what it was.

However, the Fifth Circuit came in for the win a couple weeks ago in the Cargill case, and basically Enbank, 13 to 3 told the ATF bump stocks are not machine guns so you know you know you're you're remove ATF but the circuits are split on that because all of the all of the different circuits can't agree and what does that do it sets you up for the perfect Supreme Court case because you can't have Texas Mississippi and Louisiana applying one federal law one way and then the other states applying it a different way so the Supreme Court is going to have to step in and resolve that circuit split because that's a that's a pretty big deal.

Of course, all these companies that were making these things are now out of business, right?

Three years down the line,

yeah.

It's like you know, this is the process, is the punishment half the time.

So

we've been talking to

Steven Stambulia, and he is with the gun owners of America.

You can follow all of the information at gunowners.org, gun owners.org, or you can follow Stephen on

his Twitter handle at

Stambo2A.

I like

Stambo2A.

Stephen, thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

We'll talk to you again.

Yes, sir.

Take care.

You bet.

Bye-bye.

American Financing, NMLS, 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

I don't feel any better about it, do you?

Here's a fun fact that'll keep you awake at night, you know, in case

you want to stay.

The average American's credit card do you know what the average percentage rate is 21 percent

Now, Glenn, I searched the Federal Registry for stabilizing braces, and I did not see anything more recent than June 2021.

Okay.

Well, what happened in June 2021?

So I tried to understand it.

It's a little bit difficult to understand for someone who's not necessarily in this, but I can try to help.

First of all, 47 pages

of rules.

And let me just give you part 479, just as an example.

Part 479?

Part 479.

400 is 99.

Part 479.

Of just this.

Of just this thing, about stabilizing processes.

Machine guns, destructive devices, and certain other firearms.

The

authority citation for 27 CFR Part 479 continues to read as follows.

Authority 26 USC 5812, 26 USC 5822, 26 USA, USC 7801, 26 USC 7805.

Got it.

Add a sentence to the end of the definition of rifle to read as follows.

479.11, meaning of terms, rifle.

The term shall include any weapon with a rifled barrel equipped with an accessory or component purported to assist the shooter stabilize the weapon while shooting with one hand, commonly referred to as a stabilizing brace,

that is objective design features and characteristics that facilitate shoulder fire as indicated on factoring criteria for rifled barrier weapons with accessories, commonly refers to as stabilized braces.

ATM worksheet 4999, published on effective date.

So, I mean, that's just part 479.

Think of the other 478 parts and the things you're missing every day.

I mean, I understand that one.

Of course, you get that completely.

That one's obvious.

That's easy.

This is what Joe Biden instructed them to put in in 2020.

That has put us where we are today.

Oh, that's a rifle.

You can't have that.

That's

not a pistol.

The opposite of what they said before.

Back in a minute.

The Glenn Beck Program.

There is nothing quite like the feeling of dragging yourself throughout your day so tired you can barely stand it.

Nothing.

Like feeling your eyes glaze over when somebody's trying to talk to you.

That is the worst.

Being in meetings and you're like, oh my God, I'm going to fall asleep.

I'm going to fall asleep.

Horrible.

There is something new out on the market.

It's called Relief Factor Sleep, and it is amazing.

Just like regular relief factor that you take for pain, relief sleep is 100% drug-free.

So you don't feel it in your system.

You don't feel it when you wake up in the morning.

There's nothing to really work off.

It just promotes healthy sleep by reducing anxiety and distress and improving mood and promoting relaxation.

Tanya and I, well, we took it every day last week.

Let's just put it that way.

And we both slept well.

Unleash the power of great sleep.

Call 800, the number four relief.

So I'm reading Substack, Michael Schellenberger's

Hangout, and

it's public where you can get a lot of different people, public.substack.com.

And they write,

a week ago, journalists were writing excitingly about attending the World Economic Forum Conference in Davos.

Now they're reporting that the event skyrocketed demand for prostitutes.

Not a single A-list celebrity, billionaire, or head of state attended, and Klaus Schwab will stay in office until he dies.

By this time next year, we predict Davos will be seen as a reputational risk to politicians, celebrities, and CEOs alike.

Most of the credit for killing Davos goes to Russell Brand and Glenn Beck, who have criticized WEF from the left and the right for years.

We are proud to play a role publishing a vital article on Sunday about how WEF is a cult wrapped in a scam, wrapped in a bid for global

domination.

This has been a really great effort.

I would love to say that this is true, that a year from now it will be a reputational risk.

But like all things, if that becomes the reality, it will just morph.

It's not going away.

There's far too much money involved.

And

at the World Economic Forum,

they were talking about hate speech.

And

the vice president for values and transparency at the European Commission said at the World Economic Forum that illegal hate speech, which you will soon have also in the U.S., I think we have a strong reason why we have this in criminal law here.

He's predicting at the World Economic Forum that we are going to have the same

social media hate speech accountability act.

This went into effect

in Europe and has caused all kinds of problems.

It forces

hate speech as defined by the government to be removed, or

these websites or these platforms get a major penalty.

He specifically said, hey, Elon Musk, Twitter's going to have to comply

as well, or we're going to shut you down.

This is really not good.

By the way, this came out of a panel, The Clear and Present Danger of Disinformation.

This should show you how crazy things are.

It had progressive American public figures, chairman of the New York Times, Democratic Congressman Seth Moulton,

and they were aimed at answering the question, how can the public regulators and social media companies better collaborate to tackle disinformation as information pollution spreads at an unprecedented speed and scale?

How can the public regulators and social media companies better regulate this this stuff?

By the way, it was hosted by Brian Stelter.

So at least he's got a gig.

He's got a gig.

That's good.

Fascinating.

This is the latest, and they also have the EU regulations that are being put into place now that will affect us whether we adopt them or not.

So I would like to say that this is over.

I just think

that it really is.

By the way, one of the things they were talking about

at Davos is

how they're really going to just

help climate change through fundraising.

And they said, look,

we have to raise

$3 trillion by 2030.

And we can do that with the people in this room and their companies.

And we just need to make sure that everybody is donating to this cause.

And it is to buy up $3 trillion worth of land by 2030.

They are going in, and now these Davos people, in fact, we have the cut.

I think this is from

John Kerry, where he is talking to this group about this very thing, raising money to buy up land to save the planet.

And when you stop and think about it, it's pretty extraordinary

that we,

select group of human beings,

because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives, are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet.

I mean, it's so almost extraterrestrial to think about, quote, saving the planet.

And if you said that to most people, most people they think you're just a crazy tree-hugging, lefty, liberal, you know, do-gooder, whatever.

And there's no relationship.

But really, that's where we are.

By the way, the new fund,

it's an acronym that spells

Gaia.

The god of the earth.

Also, a Davos speaker called for a billion people to stop eating meat.

He said it would have a huge impact on the current food system, but it would help reduce carbon emissions if a billion people could be stopped eating meat.

This is the chairman of Siemens,

kind of a big corporation.

He is saying that he is mobilizing Siemens for climate change.

By the way, at the same time, he's saying we got to get a billion people off of meat, the New York Times is writing a story out today.

No one's coming for your gas stove anytime soon.

And anytime soon.

How about ever?

Nobody's coming for it.

We're going to delay this particular narrative.

Right.

This is crazy.

They're again talking about how conspiracy...

The guy

was just over saying that he wants a billion people to stop eating meat.

And they're in bed with the...

with the butchers of the

meat packers in America and all over the world.

And already they're starting to slam the farmers and

the ranchers over in Europe.

They're shutting them down.

What do you mean it's a conspiracy?

I mean, it has no,

there's just no credibility with these people anymore.

None.

By the way,

let me give you this.

Washington Examiner's Heather Hunter reports today

on a study that is supposedly showing your cup of coffee is killing the planet.

The University of Quebec published the study in the conversation, called for limiting consumption through an adapted diet in order to combat the effects of coffee preparation.

So you're going to have to not only change your diet and the way you eat things, but you also, in your adaptive diet,

coffee has to go away.

Are you

so I see meat, gas stoves, we have to eat bugs, even certain types of beans, apparently now.

These are beans.

I thought this would be what they liked us to eat.

This is nuts.

This is fascinating.

Just nuts.

They're just making the world a terrible place to live in.

That seems to be their goal.

They want to take away every modern convenience, everything that you like about modern civilization and get rid of it for their gain.

There is also the story of, I'm trying to find it, Elon Musk.

Here, Elon Musk said, the WEF is an unelected world government that the people never asked for and really don't want.

Okay, I agree with that.

Yep, I agree.

But we have, they are implementing many of the things that Elon Musk seems to want

when it comes to climate, at least.

Yes.

But at least he's correct in calling this out.

Well, the same people who are behind this are also behind BLM, you know, the global BLM movement, BLM Inc.,

which is European, by the way, and run by a bunch of white people.

But,

you know,

in Atlanta, they had a problem

because

the

cops are trying to, you know, train.

It's hard to get somebody to be a cop now, especially in Atlanta.

And they are building this training center.

And these

people that are with Antifa and environmental groups, they just said, you can't cut down these trees and it started a riot because one of them opened fire at the cops and killed a cop.

That was last week.

This weekend on Sunday, I just, here's a little bit from Fox, I think this is Fox 5 in Atlanta of the riots.

Take a look over here if you pan over.

I want to show you.

This is what they were handing out at the protest.

So it was a largely peaceful protest where they just wanted what they're calling justice for

to death.

So sorry.

Stop the audio.

Let me just say

he's

for his sake.

Again,

mostly peaceful and in the background is a car on fire.

How are they?

How?

How does this keep happening?

Well,

let's go to cut two.

You have cut two?

And leave the.

Oh, that was cut two?

I'm sorry.

Let's go to cut three.

Here's Antifa smashing windows in a lunch.

Now, I don't know about you, but this seems a lot like Gandhi

or Martin Luther King.

Yeah.

Yeah, so that's

largely.

And then when the cops started arresting them, here's cut four.

Here's Antifa.

so they're arresting them and all they charge with as the fires blaze in the background I don't know I got no I have no idea what could it possibly be very peaceful very very very peaceful which I think is mostly just mostly

so let me go back to the WEF because here's what the the director said

I want you to listen to this is cut eight of what's coming.

What is a polycrisis and how and when could it happen?

A polycrisis.

We're actually in the midst of one at the moment.

We have an energy crisis and good crisis

and the economic downturn that are all happening at the same time.

It's the set of concurrent cascading risks that happen at the same time.

So that's where we are today.

That's 2023.

What we're seeing, though, is that in the two-year timeframe and the 10-year timeframe, we're at a risk of more of these polycrises unfolding.

Two years out, there's still a concern among the experts that we surveyed that cost of living is going to be number one, but at the same time, a big risk of natural disasters.

10 years out, it's all about climate.

Stop.

10 years out, it's all going to be about climate.

By the way,

largest snowstorm up in the Sierra Nevadas, I don't know if you saw this, but I seem to recall a lot of people just 15 years ago saying there's going to come a time by 2020, there will be no snow in the

Sierra Nevadas.

So that's weird.

Is there none?

No, there's the opposite of none.

Opposite of none.

There's the opposite of none.

There's some.

There's a lot.

There's a lot.

Yeah, there's a lot.

More than normal.

Yeah.

More than normal, but it's climate change.

Anyway,

this is something that you're going to hear.

Mark my words.

And it will show you if the power of the WEF is completely gone or not.

If you start hearing about polycrisis, there's global polycrisis going on right now.

That is going to be the rallying cry for all kinds of things, including the digital dollar, which I believe will happen or at least pass this year.

All because of a polycrisis.

That's what they're predicting.

Gee.

And if they just didn't have anything to do with actually causing these things, it would make me feel so much better.

On Thursday of last week, the U.S.

government breached its own debt ceiling about eight months ahead of their initial projected timeline.

Well, Muzzletoff, everybody.

Congratulations.

The borrowing limit was already $31.4 trillion.

It's going to go up.

It'll be $40 before you know it.

It is now up to the Freedom Caucus, who just took 15 votes to elect their new House Speaker within their own party to negotiate with the Biden administration.

Will they be able to do it?

They've said that we've never defaulted.

We've never, the United States never, we have twice.

We'll tell you some other time.

We have twice.

Look, here's the thing.

The Representative Kelly Armstrong recently said, she's North Dakota GOP.

If we default on our debt, debt, there's going to be huge ramifications.

I'm not interested in

bottoming out everyone's 401k.

This is not going to happen.

This is scaremongering.

However, scaremongering does a lot to the market.

We're not good people

because we have a thousand more to go.

We'll be good people.

We'll be good people.

We'll be good people and probably have the right opinions.

Except the man will come down and he'll be like, hey, you can't make money,

a million people saying,
