New episodes Tuesdays.

I want to talk to you about Jace Medical.

Jace Medical is this company started by a bunch of doctors that realized, hey, we really,

we are not prepared.

And they really

were proven right when it came to the

COVID pandemic.

We had a shortage of drugs.

We don't make our own medicines here.

If there is any kind of supply chain breakdown or anything else, there's already a worldwide shortage of amoxicillin.

that's a pretty well-known you know

a lot of stuff a lot of stuff that's like in that like first line of defense kind of stuff so they started making the jace case which is a medical case filled with i can't remember five i think five different courses of antibiotics that you can use for utis respiratory infections sinusitis sin skin infections you can use it on vacation you can use it when you're you know when you're out uh when it's inconvenient to maybe get to the doctor, and then when you see the doctor,

you know, he can verify everything.

It's all overseen by a doctor, but it is a way for you to have basic medications in your home.

JaceMedical.com.

That's J-A-S-E-Medical.com.

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

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

This is the Glen Beck program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.

Lisa Marie Presley has passed on at 54.

The first thing that I heard from everybody was, was she vaccinated?

This, I can understand why you might think that.

And yep, that might be the case, might not be the case.

I don't know.

However, this is

a measurement, if you will, of

how bad the credibility is of our doctors, medicine, media, and our administration.

It was destroyed over COVID, and it has to be fixed.

But are we going that way?

Biden's records now a third pile of documents

that are top secret.

Press is not really going after this.

The only way you get arrested on anything top secret is if you're like a submariner and you took a picture of the sub for your kid.

Then it's guaranteed jail time.

That leads to the Bubba effect when

I'm sorry, but you guys have caused so many problems.

We're not listening to you.

And it must change.

I want to talk to you about being, our society, being beaten on the rocks in 60 seconds.

Imagine getting the best

set of sheets you can get and not pay a lot of money for them.

I am, this is not hyperbole.

I really, I love the Giza Dream Sheets and I'm a sheet snob.

I mean,

oh, when I go and have to stay in a best western, Well, it's not even a best western.

It's like an okay western.

As you drive across the country, I wish I would bring my own sheets.

I am really addicted to soft cotton and that used to be a lot of money.

I don't know what the thread count thing is, but

going in and buying sheets, you're like, what?

Geez a dream sheets.

You can get them now at like $29.98.

I sleep on them every night.

They are so great.

So soft, breathable, durable.

They come from my pillow.

And right now they have this special where you can get them as low as $29.98.

I'm telling you there's no other, I just don't think there's a better sheet than this.

So I'm going to talk to you here philosophically, and then we're going to get into all of the news of the day.

And it all kind of ties into this, and that is the collapse of trust.

I used to call it the implosion of trust.

I said it was the last thing before the world had to be reset.

And that is people in every institution have discredited themselves and the institution so much that no one knows who to believe or how to get the truth anymore.

And that's where we are.

And a society doesn't last long when there is no truth.

That's why they're confusing our children with sexuality and everything else.

There is no male or female.

You might be a furry deer.

That's a lie.

And we must not allow lies into our life because our children won't have anything to trust because we don't have anything to trust.

And if we follow down the road of of society, our children won't be even able to trust us.

Now, our society, if I, well, I did, when I told you that everything that you thought was solid would be liquid and the world would be turned inside out and you wouldn't know what was up or down anymore,

most people didn't believe me.

They thought that was hyperbole, but I said that for 15 years, that that time was coming.

I think we can all agree that time is here

and has been here for a while.

We cannot be people that are looking to go back

because what are you going back to?

The 1990s, the 1970s, 80s, 1950s?

Those were all not utopian times.

Those are things that we should not go back to.

In whole, there are some things from our past, and this is what a conservative does.

They look at all of the things and say, what works and what didn't work?

What's good that we should conserve and save?

And what can we throw out?

And we need to have a vision of the future.

I want to boil this down to you

and me.

This is really kind of my philosophy in my life right now.

We don't want to go back to the way things were, and we can't go back to the way things were.

There's something better on the horizon.

Right now, our entire Western society, and I think us as people, are just being beaten on the rocks.

You feel like that?

You feel like maybe you're in like God's wash tub, and he's just taking you on the washboard, and you're like,

That's the way it feels, right?

Mountain Spring Water is so pure and fresh, and and it's beaten on the rocks.

Okay.

I don't know how that works in Fiji.

I think that's just seawater with dolphin pea in it, but everybody thinks it's great.

But the mountain fresh water is purified and it is beaten on the rocks all the way down.

So let's look at the good news on this.

The faster we get it, the closer we will come to the still waters.

And in

this analogy, I guess when we get there, then we're just sucked up, bottled, and shipped to some distant place where we're all consumed.

But let's let the analogy stop there before we get to the pool.

What I'm trying to say to you is we are being prepared for something and we have a choice.

We can either hang on to the things that were of the past, all of it,

or we can look for those things that we must have in the future, i.e., the truth,

and be excited about the next chapter that we're in.

It's really frightening, totally frightening, and to be beaten across the rocks.

I have alluded to some of these things in the past,

in the past year.

This has been a very difficult year for my family, my immediate family.

We've had a suicide attempt.

We've had three of my children I have taken to the hospital for depression.

One of my children going through life-changing strife right now that is the roughest road I think anybody can walk.

And it just

the family is on fire.

But I know they're going to make it

earlier this year i was really beating myself up because i'm like what have i missed how did i miss this stuff do you remember those days too when i was like i'm just the worst how how

what

and i came to a place to where i realized you know i can only do what i can do

These are his kids, too.

They were his kids before they were mine.

He loaned them to me

so I could raise them to the best of the ability.

At some point, when you get there, you just have to say, Hey, these are your kids, man.

I know you care about them just as much as I do.

If I can understand your kind of love, it's probably a lot bigger than mine.

So these are your kids, and I can't do it.

And then you just have to trust

because there is.

And I have felt guilty.

I have felt worthless this year.

I have felt completely out of control.

Just despair a lot of the times.

My wife and I just hanging on to each other.

My older kids have told me for years, well, you know, Dad, when we were growing up, you weren't around.

And that's true.

I wasn't around.

And it left a mark.

And then my younger kids, now as we're, you know, having family therapy and everything else,

which, by the way,

we're the best family ever.

Anyway,

you know, my younger kids have said to me recently, you know, dad, you weren't always there.

And I'm like, are you kidding me?

I have, I have been like, I have tried to be super dad.

My kids were homeschooled in the office next to the studio of mine for a while.

I mean, I am there for them as much as I can.

And then that's what teenagers will say.

That's what teenagers will do.

And let me just tell you, there is no such thing as balance in life.

There is no such thing as enough time for your children.

There is no such thing, children, as a perfect childhood.

All of it leaves marks.

All of it leaves marks.

Life is imperfect.

Life is hard.

Then you die.

But it's worth the journey.

It's in the journey.

It's in between the hard parts.

You know, we had a chair in my house and my

second eldest hated it

because we had chairs around our kitchen table that had a virtue on the back of every chair.

One of them was forgiveness.

And if somebody was holding a grudge about somebody, I would say, you need to sit in the forgiveness chair and eat dinner.

Remember that virtue?

Well, the one that I would assign from time to time was endurance.

You need to sit in the endurance chair, right?

You just got to get through this.

Oh, my kids hated it.

Hated it.

They have all come back and said, sorry, Dad, you were right.

Endurance.

They thought, life,

you just make life sound so tough.

And I'm like, it is.

A lot of it, you just have to get through.

And

now they get it.

Now they get it.

But do we remember that?

Because sometimes things get so dark for us.

We're like, I can't, I don't,

I don't know what to do.

I'm completely at a loss.

First of all, if you don't have faith, you need to find faith.

You need to find faith in bigger, something bigger than people and certainly not the collective.

You need to find faith.

I don't care if it's the universe.

I don't care what it is.

But you must have faith.

in something that is good.

Humanity has made it through everything.

Not the dinosaurs, I will remind remind you.

But we went through absolutely everything.

And it does get better.

One of my children's doctors called me and said, I can't say anything.

You know, I can't talk about the things that are probably I don't want to, you know.

And

he said, but I had to call you.

He said, because

very rarely have I sat in a room with a child that admires their father as much as your child does.

And he said, you have done something right.

And I was like, thank you.

And it was my day.

Yesterday was my day.

I got that phone call and I'm like, oh my gosh.

And the sun, you know, sun's beaming down just on me as the clouds start to part.

And I'm like, it's over.

No, it's not.

No, it's not.

But I had a great day yesterday.

My daughter is in the musical Freaky Friday, and I've been trying to teach her something about acting, and it's hard.

And she's like, I don't want to do all that.

That's not going to make a difference.

And then, because she's now the lead role in this musical and it is really difficult, the director was coming to her and go, What are you doing?

What is that?

Why?

How did you make that choice?

And she's like, I don't know.

And I said, Well, you want to, she would have done that hard work.

And I've been talking to her for about four years on this.

So she finally did it because

she was broken.

She had been beaten on the rocks.

And so she was like, okay, maybe I should do this hard stuff.

She did.

She comes back home.

The director pointed her out to everybody and said, you know what she's doing?

She's doing this acting technique.

And you guys should look into it.

He looked at her and said, you're doing what?

How do you even know that?

So dad gets credit all of a sudden.

The clouds will roll in, and it'll be a dark, dark tornado, hurricane kind of raining fire.

What are they calling that thing over California?

The river in the sky, or whatever.

It's going to come again.

It might be today,

but last night, yesterday was glorious, glorious.

Make a note of that

so I can go back and look at it and go, oh, remember that good day?

That'll come again.

Because it's going to feel again like you're not going to get past the dark spot, but you will.

The good times will pass.

Bad times will come.

Savor them.

Write them down.

Know that

today,

in one of the darkest periods of my life,

I'm really full of joy.

And for good reason, it's not like I'm manic.

It's not like,

hey, I think I'm going to win.

Let's go to Vegas today.

No, no, no,

we're still struggling.

But today is a good day, and I'm full of joy.

And part of the reason.

The biggest part of the reason is because I have faith.

I know who God is, and I know who I am to him and who you are to him.

If you don't, you need to find that.

But the other reason is

I married for all of the right reasons.

I mean, first, smoking hot.

So we were polar opposites there.

You know what I mean?

Opposites attract.

She was smoking hot.

I was me.

No.

I married her.

Yes, she was smoking hot, but I married her

because we both knew who we wanted to be and that's what got us through everything

she was kind

loving

centered balanced nothing earthly really matters she is so i was going to the i was going to the the governor's uh swearing in ron de santis sat at his table didn't know that at the time but sat at his table i took my son because tanya was just not impressed she's like oh so i can i can fly fly across the country, sit down at a table of a bunch of people who don't know me, really don't care about me, and I'm not going to really care about a lot of the political stuff.

Gee, that sounds like fun.

I've got laundry to do.

I love that.

She knows who she is.

I love that.

Know who God is.

Marry Wright.

And remember, the storm will pass.

Let me tell you about Pre-Born.

Last year, you participated in a miracle.

Tens of thousands of babies who otherwise would have not seen the light of day have begun or are just beginning to draw their breath because

you donated to Pre-Born.

There was about 52, I can't remember, 52,000 babies that were saved because of this audience, because of the donations.

And we can count them because we know how many kids or how many women are coming into a pregnancy center and saying I'm thinking about an abortion they get the ultrasound and it changes their mind that's what you donated to ultrasounds and this pays for the doctor's visit pays for the ultrasound it's like $28

and it's 80% chance that once they see the baby they say I want the baby $28 that's less than most dinners there's nothing you can do to bring more blessings on your life than saving children.

Pound 250, baby, or you can donate securely at preborn.com/slash back.

Just hit pound 250, say the keyword baby, or go to preborn.com/slash back, sponsored by pre-born.

10 seconds, station ID.

You know, just one more thing on this.

I'm going to move on.

So, you know,

if you're not a long-time listener, if you know, if you're a long-time listener, you know, I am screwed up every way to Sunday.

I've been suicidal in my 30s, broke, divorced, friendless, alcoholic, absolutely hopeless, really not a good guy.

But I used those times that were dark to reach deep and really learn what is God trying to teach me here because nothing that I believe in and nothing that I'm doing is working my way so I surrender what am I to learn if we all dig deep now we will start seeing the things that are important what are if you're a conservative what are you conserving

Are you conserving your job?

Because

that's not worth dying for.

Are you conserving

your car,

your way of life?

Meaning, you know, I get up in the morning, I go to work, I come home, I put my feet up and watch the TV.

Is that what you're conserving?

What is it you're conserving?

This is why we have to boil everything down now to the very essence.

What is

worth living for, fighting for, standing up for,

never lying

because you know that will lose

everything.

And lying, you know now what happens when people lie.

And you have to be on guard as much as the next person.

Because it's going to get easier and easier to cut corners and lie and harder and harder to stand up for the truth and be fearless.

But

if you do

and and you boil down, what is it?

For me, it's the Bill of Rights.

That's it.

And being able to follow my conscience as I understand God.

That's it.

That's worth conserving.

What is it for you?

And that is what we should be expressing to our neighbors.

Not all this bull crap of, I think it should be this guy or that guy.

What's worth conserving?

All right, let me tell you a little bit about Blaze TV.

We got all the usual stuff that you need and a few surprises.

Like, I just found out Stew Does America is still on the air.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

A couple of stories to note.

Let's start with the president and his documents.

Now there is a third place that he stores top-secret documents.

You remember when Trump did this and they were in a room and the FBI had told him, you know, it had to be locked and so he put the special lock on, but that wasn't good enough.

And they were all speculating that he may have

the designs of the stealth bomber.

And he was

going to sell them to Russia?

Yeah, selling them to Russia.

Remember all of that speculation?

I mean,

this could be nuclear secrets.

And none of that was true.

Now, Joe Biden,

three different locations, and I love the response when it was found in his garage.

But I put it in, it's in my garage with my Corvette.

I lock the door.

Oh, I know those garage door openers, you cannot penetrate those places.

It's like Fort Knox.

Oh, it is.

And you know what?

There are two people in that garage at all time, and they both have keys to the Corvette and guns.

And you can't start that Corvette.

You'll look and say, sir, turn your key.

And they're in there all the time.

So that's good stuff.

Yeah, yeah.

It's an impenetrable.

Like you said, it's impenetrable.

And the third location is where?

Do we know yet?

I think his other vacation home.

So he's got them at both his homes.

I think one of them

at University of Pennsylvania.

But other than that, just the other places he has them.

But yeah, I think one of them only, there was only one document there.

They talked about just the one.

Right.

Again,

what I find to be fascinating about this is how they

the most transparent administration that focuses so much on transparency.

That's all they care about.

Somehow they found out about this before the election and didn't tell anybody.

And then when the press found out about this, they were already at a point in the timeline where they knew about these additional fines on the documents.

And when the press came to them and said, hey, we heard about these documents that were found, they said, well, yeah, sure.

And didn't say anything about the additional documents they already knew about.

They lied and lied and lied and hoped and prayed that no one would say anything.

And now eventually we finally know.

But

they're hiding something, right?

The implosion of trust.

This is why, look, when you have the implosion of trust, I told you that is the last step before usually a world war and a total reset.

And I said before we understood the great reset, so I kind of regret those words.

It wasn't me, I didn't call it on.

Anyway, the implosion of trust,

that is

the reset comes

whether you like it or not.

The reset comes either with fire, terror, and blood,

because a fascistic kind of authoritarian leader has to come up because you don't believe the doctors.

You don't believe the banks.

You won't do what they say to do.

The Bubba effect.

You think if a submariner takes a picture of a submarine in port for his daughter to see, remember this?

That guy went to prison for it.

You think that the community on anything like that, not top secret, just that,

you think the community is going to go, wait a minute, wait a minute.

He took a picture of the sub for his daughter and he's going to prison, but all of these people with the top secret stuff, that's fine.

The Bubba effect, so you don't do

what

you have to do as a society to stay together.

You're not all on the same page.

So an authoritarian has to step up or there needs to be, and I hate to use this word because I don't mean it the way, I don't mean it the way the communists mean it, a purge.

You have to have somebody go in, do investigations.

Well, let me just say this is what the Freedom Caucus was talking about.

Do investigations, do them properly, and let the real rule of law

work and restore the trust.

But you think there's another pandemic coming?

Do you think anybody is going to stand in line for that vax?

Look at Lisa Marie Presley.

She dies.

First thing a lot of people thought was, I wonder if she had the vaccine.

Yeah.

And with good reason, people wonder that because we've seen many, many stories about young people who are otherwise healthy who have just dropped dead.

But you know what?

She's not an example of young people.

Well, she's only 54.

But she's been old.

But she had a long-term opioid addiction.

Like, she's been a mess.

Are you saying heroin addicts are unhealthy?

How dare you?

And Lizzo is the picture of health.

Have you seen her in the bikini?

Yeah.

There are certainly, you know, I think better examples of

why you would worry on this.

But I think it's your point, Glenn, I think, is really on the mark here, which is nobody trusts anything anymore.

Right.

Like you just immediately jump to the worst case scenario because so often the worst case scenario is the thing that's actually true.

You know, it seems like over and over again, where whatever we thought the worst case scenario could be winds up being true.

And so you're going to be,

that's going to be one of the first things you go to is like, whatever they're telling me, I don't trust.

And

the whole concept of a civilization is based on trust.

Trust.

It really is.

All I would want.

Speaking for myself, all I would want is for them to look into this.

Oh, yeah, of course.

Just look into it and see if it has anything at all to do with it.

Do you trust?

We just got a study from environmentalists, and the government is taking it seriously about gas stoves

and they say we're not doing anything the states are doing it Washington state has already made it New York too yeah so you cannot have build a new home with a gas stove in it well

where Why?

Why?

Because they took that seriously.

See, the administration is doing all kinds of things and they're doing them based on these studies.

So if you get a study that says, no, actually, the vaccine had nothing to do, nobody's going to believe it because no one has any credibility.

And it becomes very dangerous.

A good example of this is, you know,

we had Paul Ehrlich spend the 1970s telling us we were all going to die, that there was going to be no UK, you know, in the year 2000.

The West Side Freeway or Highway in New York was going to be completely submerged by now.

Well, there'd be no food for the population

by 1980.

People will be struggling to have

a steak as only the richest people on earth will be eating it.

We were told by 2020 there would be no snow caps in North America.

Have you noticed in the Sierra Nevadas the snow cap this year?

There's some snow.

So you go through all of this for 50 years, right?

I mean Paul Ehrlich, using him as a specific example of some of these claims, has been around for 50 years.

And this week, he was on television with a new environmental scare story that they put on network television.

We're supposed to believe it.

Who the hell is this guy still on television making claims?

No,

people don't know who he is.

These people are washed over and over again, usually in the university system.

And so that's the problem.

Look, here's where it gets dangerous.

It's already dangerous with doctors.

It's already dangerous because who do you trust?

Who do you trust?

When things are really coming down to it and the pharmaceutical company says, no, this is great.

Do you trust that?

That that is what they say it is?

Well, because they've been hiding information.

We just found that out.

They're not only hiding information.

They're in collusion with the government.

The government.

So what do you do?

This week, the FAA grounded all flights.

That hasn't happened since 9-11.

And that was the only other time it's ever happened.

Right.

So we grounded all flights.

Why?

Because there was a glitch in the computer system where they contact the planes and go, hey, by the way, there's another plane coming your way.

So there was a glitch in the computer system.

Now, Pete Buddhajudge finds out about it, and Pete Buddhajudge, you know, he gets on the case and immediately says, you know what?

It was no big deal.

This was not espionage.

This was not somebody trying to do this.

It was just

an uncorrupted, or I'm sorry, it was just a corrupted file.

Whoa, wait, isn't that how espionage works?

I mean, it doesn't have to be espionage, but it's basically what they're saying is somebody downloaded, you know, see lizzo in a bikini and somebody opened it and it infected all of the the entire server system.

Okay, me personally, I think you'd be smarter if you said see lizzo in a bikini and it didn't corrupt the files unless you push delete.

But anyway,

so the

the

somebody went in and did something they weren't supposed to do and it corrupted a file and shut it all down.

Coincidentally, on the same day, at the same time,

Canada had the same corrupted file.

Now,

the UK did as well.

How did that happen?

How did that happen?

And if you think that, you know, you don't need a spy.

Why use a spy with a thumb drive that has to go in, you know, cloak and dagger and like,

okay, I'm at the main FAA, Apple, and I'm just going to put this thumb drive in it and I'm going to infect that machine.

Why do that when you can easily find out who works with the FBA, FAA, and is on those computers all the time and target an email that they'll open up and then it's infected and it's over?

Well,

these people are lying to you.

There's no evidence.

Well, of course there's no evidence yet.

Are you even looking into it?

You really expect us to believe that the first time we have grounded all of our airplanes since 9-11 and the second time in all of aviation history it's ever happened on the same day it happened in Canada.

And I'm just learning now from you guys, I guess, in Great Britain.

Come on.

Yeah.

Come on.

Both Canada and Great Britain said it was completely unrelated, though.

Huh.

It's weird.

It's not a coincidence.

What a weird.

What's a weird coincidence?

What a weird.

They're still investigating the root cause of the failure.

Really?

Ha.

Huh.

Now, on the other side of our border, the FAA said, We're continuing a thorough review to determine the root cause.

Wait, Canada, we're still investigating the root cause of the failure.

America, we're continuing a a thorough review to determine the root cause.

That's weird.

Another coincidence.

Another coincidence.

We're doing the same thing.

Same thing.

And saying the exact same thing.

Our preliminary work has traced the outage to a damaged database file.

Wow.

A corrupted file.

How was it corrupted?

Well, there's no evidence of a cyber attack.

That wasn't the question.

The question was, how was it corrupted?

This is embarrassing.

It's a mysterious coincidence.

Yeah, and it's true.

Like, this is going off a little bit more on this particular angle on the story, but it's like we were told for how many years that the Russians were

doing

so many things like this that they were going to take, they took over the 2016 election and basically handed it to Donald Trump.

That's basically what we were told from media.

And you don't think they're doing the low-hanging fruit?

And now we're in a position where we're funding $60 billion worth of missiles to fire at their people and their soldiers.

And they don't do it.

And they're like, no, we're not going to do any cyber attacks right now.

Nothing's going on.

But really?

I want you to do something real quick.

I want you to

Google corrupted file.

One of the top links is from the U.S.

government cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency.

Okay.

Just Google corrupted file.

You'll see U.S.

government cybersecurity.

Click on it.

Understanding hidden threats with corrupted software files.

It goes on to explain how hackers use phishing attacks to corrupt files on your computer and shut down like your life or like

air traffic control.

Yeah, but we know that didn't happen.

There's no hacking involved at all.

Nobody hacked it.

No, of course not.

It was probably if there was hacking, it was a lone wolf.

Right, yes.

Definitely.

Definitely not something.

Maybe it could have been a Republican, an extremist.

Probably.

Probably a white supremacist.

Freedom caucus.

This is the sort of valuable stuff that happens on this program.

Glenn just asked me to just say to everybody, hey, search for corrupted file, which I listened.

I did that as he was talking.

And I saw the first link, which is corruptafile.net.

And apparently what the service is, is you like, this is what it says.

Struggle with a report you can't complete?

Bored by an Excel sheet?

Tired with this code which won't work?

Send us your file and we'll corrupt it.

Your boss, customer, or teacher will think you delivered it on time and he can't open it due to a technology technology hassle.

Mission completed.

Oh, my gosh.

Fantastic.

You know, I have a feeling, though.

That's a little like Googling how do I dispose of a 115-pound body.

Real estate agents, I trust.

We have taken a pretty good beating as a country this past couple of years, and millions of Americans, probably like you, are feeling the effects of it.

And if you're one of the people who's trying to sell a house or needs to sell a house and buy another one or both, I am sure things can seem a little scary right now.

Here's the deal.

It is our job as Americans to get back up off our feet and do the right thing.

I had dealt with all the hassles in my life of

buying and selling homes.

And I always, I just have never been good at that.

Anyway,

I was doing something else on the side at the time, about, I don't know, 10 years ago, five years ago.

It's got to be about 10 or 15 years ago now.

Anyway, with the 500 best real estate agents in the country as named by the Wall Street Journal.

Well, I got to know them, and there's a reason they're the best.

There are certain best practices that they do that help sell your house for the top amount of money and the fastest.

So we went out and looked for real estate agents like that that knew these best practices.

Okay, so the latest from the FAA is no evidence of a cyber attack.

It was corrupt files and they were caused by human error.

Now, was that human error clicking on nude pics?

Is that what the human error was?

Because I know that's what the IT department always says, you know, hey, don't click on this.

If you see this subject, don't click on that.

That's human error.

Okay?

But it's intentional.

Who sent that?

And by the way, it didn't just affect the mainframe and shut that all down.

It went to the backup system as well.

So it shut both of them down.

Wow,

that's a weird corrupt file.

That is, what are the odds that it hits the U.S.

and Canada and possibly the UK at the same time?

All you need is three stupid people that are looking for nude picks.

Human error, the Glenn Beck program.

Thank you, Hillary.

Let me tell you about home title lock.

If you think home title fraud is the kind of thing that only happens to other people, have a listen to a convicted thief explaining exactly what happens after he forges your home's title and takes over as the new owner.

That I can take their house and borrow against the house.

Oh, no, I have title insurance for that.

No, it's in my name.

Or he would have to get some special document.

They would call me.

You know, what he's calling you.

After I've stolen the title, borrowed against it or sold the property or done whatever I've done with it, it's 60 to 90 days to even figure out that they're the victim of this crime.

You know, by that point, you start getting foreclosure notices and you realize you've got four mortgages on your house.

Not only that, you don't even own your home anymore.

It's not even in your name.

Home title fraud growing two and a half times faster than credit card fraud.

You could be a victim and not even know it yet.

You can protect yourself, however, with hometitalock.com.

Go to hometitalock.com, use the promo code RADIO.

There, you can register your address to see if you're already a victim and get a no-obligation home title report.

That's $100 value free.

Mr.

Bill O'Reilly, welcome to the program, The Biggest Story of the Week, sir.

What's your name again?

Yeah, I know.

We haven't talked to each other in...

Yeah, I mean, Beck, I thought you were like ghosting me.

You know, that phrase?

Let's not necessarily discuss that.

That's not a Christmas thing.

So, first of all, how were your holidays?

I don't remember.

I mean, come on.

I didn't really ask because I cared.

Right.

So, biggest story of the week, Bill.

Yeah, there are two, I mean, and they all come under, both of them come under the overarch of not a good 13 days for Joe Biden

in the first part of 2023.

So, this document thing, this is overhyped.

I mean, both men don't have the concentration span to go through documents and boxes.

In my opinion, my humble opinion, they didn't know what was going on.

They just had people pack up stuff for them and put it.

So neither of them, because you have to have intent, you have to prove intent

to remove classified information, and no special counsel is going to be able to do that for either Trump or Biden.

So that'll go away.

But Trump is a happy guy guy because now, I mean, he's inoculated against any kind of unilateral action.

Correct.

And Hillary Clinton did worse stuff, by the way, than either of these two guys.

Oh, she should absolutely be in prison for what she did.

She had intent.

She had people go into the skiff and cut top secret off of the top and then fax it to her.

And then destroy the evidence.

But I wouldn't put her in prison.

I would have a work release program where she'd have to work for you

no thank you that would be punishment but for me

but that Hillary what else what worse could you do to her I know then she has to show up at the blaze every night

I know I know okay all right so

so hang on just a second hang on just a second go ahead does this story tell you anything about

the media as well the media just keeps digging their hole deeper and deeper and deeper there is no credibility left at all.

Well, the orders from the networks, not cable, different.

The orders from the network presidents, an NBC guy was just fired this week, by the way,

to the correspondents of the White House where you better ask tough questions.

I know that to be true.

So they were actually ordered

to ask tough questions from Miss

Jean-Pierre.

They were ordered to ask the tough questions.

They were asked

because the straits are so dire, particularly at CBS News, which is below 5 million in viewing now.

Oh, my God.

I mean, I routinely did that on the Factor.

I know.

I did more than Nora O'Donnell was doing now.

But the other two are listing, too.

So they were ordered.

All of them were ordered by the presidents of the news divisions to ask tough questions, whereupon John Pierre simply doesn't answer them.

I will tell you that one of the things, the most disturbing part of this story is, you know, top secret documents, that's a danger.

But that man driving his Corvette was shocking

and a bigger danger.

It was so inappropriate for the President of the United States to start singing Little Deuce Coop.

I mean, just so

you got to take this seriously.

So bad.

When he said yesterday, you know, hey, I keep him in my garage and it's locked.

My Corvette is in there.

That is so unbelievably flippant just so bad so bad but see Beck you think he knows what he's saying that's he doesn't know what he's saying I mean it's just he can't put stuff into perspective it's kind of like Stu you know you you wait you say stuff and then you know Stu reacts but does he really understand the big picture here so Biden doesn't know what the big picture is all Biden knows is

all Biden knows is that there's trouble.

He doesn't really know why there's trouble.

And then he goes, well, we told the National Archives right away when we found it, November 2nd.

Yeah, and you didn't tell the public for two and a half months.

I think that's a cover-up.

Right, right.

And this last batch in his garage, they knew on December 20th and never said anything until yesterday.

Really inappropriate, Beck, for Biden to offer the new special counsel a ride in the car.

That's not

what we should be doing here.

Turn the key, Mr.

Biden.

Let me ask you, Bill, why

what's going on here?

Because you don't usually out yourself.

So what's happening?

Why is this story out and happening right now?

Because the media has nothing else to talk about now that the Idaho murder thing has been solved with the guy in custody.

So I'm not diminishing the fact that Trump and Biden had no blanket idea of what documents were being removed from their respective offices.

I'm not diminishing that.

But I can see it because neither man has a concentration span to go over documents.

I mean, you imagine Donald Trump packing boxes?

Yeah, but those documents, he may not know that they were there now, but those documents were taken

when he was vice president.

This is Biden.

Biden, Biden, right?

And then the right wing is making a big deal out of this that Trump had the power to declassify and Biden didn't, so Biden is

much more heinous.

But it doesn't matter, okay?

None of this matters because nothing's going to happen.

It's just an embarrassment right now.

Biden doesn't need that.

Now, let me get to the other.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

One more thing about this.

This is the biggest problem with this story, I think, is that it doesn't matter.

Top secret matters or it doesn't.

And

the worst thing that could be done is it's just become, well, they did it.

And, well, he did it.

And then I did it.

And, well, mine was different than yours.

And that's why nobody's paying attention to any of these scandals because everyone knows

nothing's going to happen.

Nothing's going to be done.

Nothing's going to be done.

Nope.

Yep.

And that's the way we have a corrupt federal government.

Correct.

Okay.

Correct.

And when you have a corrupt system,

there isn't any sense of fairness or justice because it's corrupt.

Correct.

Look up the definition of corrupt.

Correct.

All right.

So that's where we are.

But let me get into the second one.

The second one, yeah.

All right, go ahead.

Yeah, because and this is worse than the document for Biden.

The three amigos down in Mexico City.

And the media underplayed this

big time

because the media doesn't want to tell the truth about what the situation is in Mexico.

So, remember the South Park episodes, Blame Canada?

Yes.

This is Blame Mexico.

And I'm writing a column.

It'll be on billorile.com on Sunday noon.

Mexico is the problem here for the United States.

All right, not little Justin Trudeau.

He doesn't matter.

But Mexico is the problem.

Two reasons.

44% of the Mexican population lives in poverty.

44%.

So what do you expect them to do?

Exactly right.

They're going to come here.

Okay?

And Mexico is the most violent country on earth.

Wait.

Over like Afghanistan and...

Yes, it's way worse than Miramar

or China.

66,000 people last year were either murdered or disappeared in Mexico.

66,000.

In America, which has three times as many people as Mexico, we had 23,000 homicides.

When you have that level of violence, all right, that the government cannot control, then you look at, well, who's doing it?

The drug cartels are running the country.

Correct.

Correct.

All right.

So Obrador standing there with Biden and Little Justin saying, oh, we're equal partners and we're, you know,

it's a bunch of garbage.

All of our immigration and narcotics problems are caused by Mexico.

And no one will tell the truth about that.

Obrador cannot control his country.

There is no local police in Mexico because the cartel will walk in and say, Jose, you do what we say or we'll kill you and your family.

And Jose is making $14,000 a year.

What do you think Jose is going to do?

They dissolve the national police there in Mexico because it was so corrupt.

There's no,

no law enforcement in that entire country.

So therefore, tons of narcotics are sent into the United States, killing hundreds of thousands of people.

And Biden sits there going, hey, we're the most secure border ever.

It is, that is, talk about corruption and a scandal, and that is a story.

Oh, I believe that.

You never get it from the media.

I believe the government is more than just tolerating it.

The government is in bed now.

Oh, sure.

With the bad guys.

Of course.

Now,

I'm not going to accuse Obrador of taking bribes, but it's not inconceivable.

It happened before.

And

I'm not saying that you know joe biden is calling up the drug lords either and saying hey we need your help on this it's just all you have to do is avert your eyes and you are working with them because you want to call them out lie about they lied about it all three of them standing there you know you

this and the media goes along with it because if you criticize mexico you're racist

you're racist you can't do that i mean meanwhile hundreds of thousands of Americans are dying.

The solution to this problem isn't hard.

Under the Patriot Act, the U.S.

government designates the Mexican drug cartels as terrorists, and we wax them.

If you read Killing the Killers, and I know you did, Beck,

we have the authority to do that

because the Mexican drug cartels are killing far more people than al-Qaeda or ISIS ever did.

And they're running wild doing it.

And no one's going to stop them.

And we're in return.

No one.

And

it's crazy.

Can I tell you?

It makes me crazy.

Can I ask your opinion of what you think of our governor here in Texas?

I mean, Ron DeSantis is doing big things in Florida, which as a Texan, I'm really embarrassed by our state.

And he has the ability to rally the country, but he just won't do it.

He will not stop this in our own state.

So you're criticizing him?

Oh, yeah, I am.

I am.

So what do you want him to do?

I want him to do what Ron DeSantis is doing and make very clear stances, be out in front of this, secure our border, whatever it takes, secure our border.

Use the constitutional language of an invasion.

This is an invasion.

Texas has fundamentally changed in the last two years.

You're going to lose your country.

Well, I agree with that, but I don't know.

The border is so long in Texas

that the state doesn't have the personnel to stop this.

You telling me that it is hamstrung because it can't go to the border.

You know what the sheriff of

the county

it wasn't Fort Worth, I can't remember which county, but he said to me, I said, what happens if they start coming for guns here in Texas, do you think?

He said, well, in my county, I deputize every single person in my county, and deputies need to have a gun.

They're not touching guns here.

That's the Texas attitude.

Are you telling me that

Texans won't stand up for their own state?

He could deputize people and actually not just everybody's deputy

deputize people train people and they would volunteer to seal this border they would do it there's enough americans and texans here that would do that why aren't they going to do that because the potential for violence there is far too great uh when you get a you know a vigilante force and

well i know you're not but most people who would be deputized are good people and would obey the structure but there's going to be other people who won't and um you know, so I understand.

It's a federal problem.

And in the Constitution, the federal government is in charge of

immigration.

According to the Constitution, unless the federal government is not responsive.

Yeah, but he's already declared a state of emergency in Texas.

And he's already put resources on the border.

Now, maybe the National Guard, maybe more of them them down there

to embarrass Biden and

continue to put the pressure on Biden.

But I told my audience on billorilly.com that Biden's not going to do anything about this problem.

So you got two more years of them.

And the border problem is not going to be solved in any way by him.

He doesn't care about it.

He simply doesn't care about it.

It's unbelievable to think that this is true, but it's happened before in our history where we've had presidents allowing unbelievable problems to mount and they don't care.

All right, final thought from Bill O'Reilly coming up in just a second.

Let me take one minute and tell you about good ranchers.

Made in America isn't the sacred phrase that it used to be.

Nobody's telling the truth on this.

When it comes to meat, you go into a grocery store and you'll see product of USA on

the meat that you buy.

That's not true.

Many, many times, that's absolutely untrue.

It's coming from foreign countries, and they found a loophole to be able to put the little flag on there.

We have got to support our local farms and our local ranchers.

If you have a local farmer's market, start buying your food at a farmer's market.

If you know a farm that can provide things, just do it.

We have to support our local farms and our ranchers.

And here's one way you can do it with good ranchers.

Right now, you can get over two pounds of chicken free in every box of meat that you have for a year when you subscribe.

A year's worth of chicken for free when you subscribe to any good ranchers box at goodranchers.com.

You want to start the year off right.

You want to do the right thing.

Eat the best American meat, fish, chicken.

Also, support your local ranchers and your local farmers.

Do it by subscribing now and buy your meat differently from Good Ranchers.

we have mr.

Bill O'Reilly with us

now

Bill final thoughts next biggest story of the week or

some in-depth analysis of something.

Okay.

What we're going to see now

is a bunch of leaks coming out about Hunter Biden.

So the next time we talk, which I think is going to be in April, Beck, is that what you're going to do?

Well,

if we're lucky.

So you're going to start to see this whole document thing, unless they discover more documents, which they could.

Biden has no idea where his socks are.

I mean, he doesn't know.

So you're going to start to see as these committees ramp up, particularly the Jordan committee and the Comer committee in the House, you're going to see that they're going to start to compile information and it's going to get leaked.

From which side?

It's going to get leaked anti-Biden.

Okay.

All right.

All right.

So you're going to have a series of these leaks coming out about Hunter Biden did this and Joe Biden did that and the Chinese people did this and that's going to start to mount.

Now, in every one of those cases, the media, which is a part of the Biden administration now,

you know, they work in conjunction with the Democratic Party, which is why the White House correspondents had to be ordered to ask tough questions about the documents.

So the media is going to have to respond to this, and they're going to be on the defensive.

And the smarter of the liberal pundits pundits are going to go, I don't know if I want to defend Hunter Biden.

Right.

Okay, because that's a pretty dicey thing to do.

I will tell you, the piece that came out from the New York Times this week on Hunter Biden was absolutely jaw-dropping

in its defense of Biden.

And honestly, Bill, I'd love to hear your opinion.

We've got about 30 seconds.

I think it's a mistake to leak that out.

I think you get all of the evidence and pound it in a hearing.

It's not going to happen, though.

Because they want to stay in the news cycle.

They want to drip, drip, drip it, just like they did with Trump.

The same thing is going to happen to Biden.

And that's the big story that we'll be on and chatting about.

And I don't know how it's going to all work out.

The big thing is: did Hunter give his father cash?

That's it.

That's the big thing.

Clearly, yes.

Thank you so much.

There, you'll save 10 bucks off your subscription to Blaze TV.

I'm going to call this segment, May God Have Mercy on Our Souls.

Okay, and I'll explain that afterwards.

But I want to play a few clips here for you.

This is not an old clip of Kamala Harris talking about electric school buses.

This is a new one.

Just happened.

Here's Kamala Harris in front of a group of adults and the transportation agency talking about one of her favorite things.

Here it is.

You know what also excites me?

Among the many things, I'm excited about electric school buses.

I love electric school buses.

I just love them for so many reasons.

Maybe because I went to school on a school bus.

Raise your hand if you went to school on a school bus.

Oh my gosh, this woman is nuts.

I mean, this is, I feel like, the 10th time I've seen this clip.

Does she say this in every speech?

Oh, I don't know, but that wasn't even a speech.

That was a question and answer thing.

You know, so what else is going on?

You know what I'm saying about school buses.

Oh, my gosh.

Then,

in answering another question,

listen to this.

I convened, and I've convened now at least three times, a group that has their acronym, CARICOM.

It is the Caribbean Nations, Island Nations.

In the Western Hemisphere, that is where the Caribbean is.

We are also in the Western Hemisphere.

They are our neighbors.

Oh, dear God.

I mean, who is she talking?

Is she talking to school children?

No, she's talking to a group of so-called informed adults that went to go listen to her and the transportation people about what the future is for

you're telling them that we're in the Western Hemisphere.

If those people don't know that we're in the Western hemisphere, we're more screwed than I think, and we're so screwed, I think Jesus is coming soon.

May I ask for your expert opinion on something related to this?

You're a guy who's who got around.

You lived a little when you weren't.

You lived a little when younger.

There was some

drugs.

Yes.

You were in that world.

Yes.

I have a friend whose theory is that Kamala Harris is constantly high.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

The theory is.

She is constantly low.

Low IQ.

She is dumb as a box of sand.

She is.

You might as well take a sandbag, put it in heels, and there's your vice president.

You will be safer as a nation.

May God have have mercy on our soul.

But does dumb make you laugh hysterically at the idea of an electric school bus?

No, I would say no.

She's dumb, so she doesn't know how to do things.

Her job is to promote electric school buses.

She doesn't know how to do it.

So she overacts.

And she looks crazy and dumb.

She's not high.

She's not crazy.

She's just dumb.

But she's not the best clip.

I want to play a clip of Hank Johnson.

Now, I want to remind you who Hank Johnson is.

Now, let's listen to what he said this week to a reporter outside of the Capitol when they found out and they asked him, what do you think about the top secret documents of Biden?

Listen.

My response to it all is that

alleged classified documents showing up allegedly in the possession of

Joseph Biden,

you know, I mean, there's so much that needs to be

investigated.

And that's what I call for, is for everything to be investigated.

But I'm suspicious of the timing of it.

I'm also aware of the fact that things can be planted on people.

Places and things can be planted.

Things can be planted in places

and then discovered conveniently.

That may be what has occurred here.

I'm not ruling that out.

But

I'm open in terms of the investigation.

It needs to be investigated.

Yeah, I will tell you, things can be planted.

And there's a history of people at Joe Biden's houses where they people, groups of people come out and plant things right around his garage.

They're called bushes and trees, but if they can plant that at his house, why can't they plant the top-secret documents?

He's brilliant.

Let me remind you who this genius is.

This is what he said when he's talking to an admiral about the number of Marines we have on the island of Guam.

Listen, very small island and about 24 miles, if I recall, long.

So

24 miles long, about seven miles wide at the least widest

uh place on the island and about twenty about twelve miles wide.

Uh my fear is that uh the whole island will uh become so

overly populated that it will tip over and uh and capsize.

Oh, dear gosh.

Uh we don't anticipate that.

That's the Admiral.

The admiral, because he's in uniform, has to say, we don't anticipate that problem.

I

would give my right arm to have been

the one under question when he asked that question.

Because my response would have been

first,

look to the left, look to the right.

look right directly into the camera and say, it's not just me, right?

Right?

And then say, sir,

that is not even worthy of an answer.

You, sir, are a moron if you think that islands will capsize, that we have to balance Guam and Hawaii and all of these islands.

That's not the way it works.

And may God have mercy on not your soul.

May God have mercy on the souls of everyone who voted for you because at this time

these people are so stupid or ignorant or they just don't care

that they can't see that you are a complete and total moron.

But I think I just gave the Adam Sandler speech.

Mr.

Madison, what you just said is one of of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.

Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

I award you no points,

and may God have mercy on your soul.

That is so true.

I mean, think about this.

That clip from the Guam clip with Hank Johnson was 2010.

10.

He's won re-election like six times since then.

Right.

And I will say, I am disappointed in the entire media.

I want to hear commentary about every issue from Hank Johnson.

Anytime anything happens, put a microphone in front of this man's face and let him talk about it.

I just want to know what.

If you do that, he will be the Secretary of Transportation.

Okay.

I mean, oh my, how shame, shame on everyone in his district.

Shame on everyone in his district.

You cannot be that stupid.

You can't.

It's impossible.

It's impossible.

Impossible like Guam capsizing impossible?

Like Guam capsizing impossible.

You cannot be that.

And if you are that stupid, we really need to just go there as

people, hug them, hold their hand, say, God bless you.

You bless your heart.

You are so cute.

But

you shouldn't vote anymore.

In fact, as a country, we cannot allow you to vote because

you think Guam could capsize?

And if you don't, you thought it was okay to keep that guy in office?

Because that wasn't a good question.

Wasn't a good question.

Wasn't a good thought.

Wasn't.

So bless your heart, sweetheart.

You are, oh, you're so cute.

You're so cute.

No voting rights for you.

I am really to the point to where I don't want some litmus test where, you know, where we have to test people that they be genius.

I just like them.

Do you think, this could be the only question.

Do you think an island could capsize if we put too many people on one side of the island?

If they even hesitate,

you're out.

I don't think that is, you know,

that's not racist, what they, you know, did where they would put, you know, all these tough questions, like, how many windows in the White House?

No, no.

No, no, no.

I want to test white people, black people, Asians.

I want to test anyone who says they want to vote.

Do you think an island could capsize?

Well, nope, sorry.

I can't find your name anywhere in the records.

Can't find it.

Hey, I've got a really good podcast coming out tomorrow, and I want to talk to you about it in just a second.

First, I have car shield for a lot of reasons, but one of the most important reasons is I don't want to buy new trucks.

I like my trucks.

They are fine.

They're farm trucks.

They don't even have to look pretty.

I don't care, honestly, half the year if they even have doors.

I just want them to be able to haul the cattle.

That's what I want them to do.

I want them to haul stuff.

And when they break down, and if it's really expensive to fix, because it's a chip or something like that, I had a $7,000 repair.

The truck wasn't worth $7,000.

I had a $7,000 repair on a truck.

And I'm like, oh, crap.

I get to the dealership.

And he says, there are the keys, all taken care of.

And I'm like,

you don't have to, wait, I don't know.

He's like, no,

this fix happened to be covered by Car Shield.

This is an honest thing.

I honestly, my first thought was, get out of here before they realize maybe that was wrong.

Just get out.

He didn't even want to question it.

I was like, of course it was covered by Car Shield.

Absolutely it was.

That's the kind of surprises that you like, especially with insurance.

So

this is health insurance for your car.

If you want your car to just keep running and running and running because you don't want to have to buy a new one, you can't afford to have it break down.

They have all kinds of different coverage.

You pick the coverage.

They have them for starting around $100 a month.

The Glenn Beck Program.

All right.

Hey, you think right now, man, my life sucks.

My life sucks.

Well, it doesn't suck as much as it does for Michael Bay.

He is going into court in Italy, being charged with murder.

I mean, would you consider this murder?

Yeah, homicide.

Being charged, I think, with murder.

This is the third attempt he's had to try to make this go away three different times.

He has gone to court.

And the Italian, you know, they're tired of these Americans coming over here and killing people and then, you know, just getting away with it scot-free.

So Michael Bay, I don't think so.

Michael Bay, the director of great action films.

I think some of the Mission Impossibles and others, he's really great.

Well, in 2018,

see if Alex, Alec Baldwin doesn't come to mind.

Said of 2018's Netflix movie that he made, Six Underground.

So this is made in 2018.

It's all over.

Apparently, apparently, this according to, well, they say they have video on this, a homing pigeon was allegedly killed by a dolly in the middle of a film take in Rome.

No.

Now, yes.

Now, just so I can talk to the Kamala Harris fans in the audience, a dolly in this case is not like something that you or Kamala sleep with every night.

No, this dolly is on like little railroad tracks and it has the camera on it and it goes forward and backward so they can get a smooth shot.

That's what it.

So unless the pigeon were,

I don't know, tied to that track by some mustachioed dark pigeon with a top hat.

And the Canadian Mountie didn't arrive enough to in time, soon enough, to untie little Nell the pigeon from the track.

I don't think, I mean, that's just, they were shooting, the pigeon was on the track, nobody saw it, and

it got run over.

And I don't know if you know this, pigeons are dirty, filthy, awful animals, okay?

They're rats with feathers.

God makes a lot of them.

Nobody in the pigeon world is going,

that pigeon could have been a star.

It's not happening.

Is there some reverence for pigeons in this?

Because you could go into any restaurant in this country and get any other bird on a plate

and they'd be totally fine with that and celebrate it.

But it's

because it got run over.

Yeah, because it got run over by Michael Bay.

Now, Michael has tried to settle this three times in Italian court.

Three times he's been in court trying to get it thrown out.

And they've said, look, just pay a minimal fine, no big deal, and we'll throw it out.

And he's like, I'm not paying you a dollar, and I'm not admitting that I hurt an animal.

I love animals.

There was no animal that was hurt on my set from anything we did.

I'm not going to take blame for this pigeon.

No.

So he's going in.

He has been doing this now, fighting in court for a year.

But this movie was made and they, they went to the Italian authorities in 2018.

So if you ever think you're having a bad day, just think if you didn't run over a a pigeon in Italy with a little teeny railroad track.

Okay?

Your life's pretty sweet.

Your life's, can you even believe that story is even true?

Do you know in France, they serve this

some little teeny bird, I don't remember what it is, but they actually cook it in such a way, whole, whole, and they just, you know, fry it up and you pop it in your mouth, you eat it, bones and all, okay?

It is, you have to wear, the tradition is you hold a napkin in front of your face while you eat it.

And the deal is, so God doesn't see you in such decadence.

And they're worried about a pigeon sitting on a

railroad track.

I mean,

I think people need to get their priorities right.

Back in just a minute.

The Glenn Beck program.

American Giant would like to thank you for doing business with them.

They started advertising on this program.

I did an interview because I read about this company, American Giant, that was

trying to bring clothing manufacturing back to America.

And it was a California company, and I thought, oh, well, these guys probably hate us, but they made these great,

you remember the old sweatshirts that used to be made in America.

They made them the same.

You can't buy them anywhere.

And I found out as I interviewed this guy on air that in 2012, there was this manufacturing, clothing manufacturing company that was closing, and all of these people with all the skill were being let go.

And the now owner of American Giant thought that we can't let this happen.

So he started it.

He brought back the machinery, retrained people, and now they just make some of the best clothing.

And it is all made here in America.

And I mean, it's all sourced in America.

Every button, every thread, every jar of ink that is used, I mean, it's all American.

Thank you for

going and visiting their website and buying some of their clothing.

You're buying real American and you're buying restoration when you go to American-giant.com slash Glenn.

It's a little

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

This is the Glenn Back program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to Friday.

I want to start the show the way I or end the show today, the way I began the show on Monday of this week, and that is talking about gratitude.

I really believe one of our bigger problems is

we don't, we look at our shortcomings.

We only talk about how bad things are.

We only,

we're all bitching and moaning about this or that.

And we don't really realize

how good life is, how great things really are, even in their worst.

Would you live at any other time than this time and in this country, if you look at world history, I wouldn't.

I really wouldn't.

And we think it's so bad.

It is bad because it can be so much better.

But we have to have gratitude.

But is it enough just to have gratitude?

Or do you need to put that into practice to be able to be healthy and whole, which our country is struggling with?

Happiness.

We are a depressed, medicine-taking

group of people that a lot of them are just nihilist.

So, gratitude, does it play a role?

I'm going to talk to one of the guys who is the biggest authority on happiness and gratitude, probably in the world.

He has studied it his whole life.

We'll go there in 60 seconds.

Name a piece of technology that

you're on more every day than your phone.

I'll wait.

I'll wait.

I mean, be honest, right?

If you're one of those rare people who can limit their screen time efficiently, good for you.

But you still

rely on your phone a lot.

So you really need good, affordable services.

But you also want to do business with people who are not fighting against

your values and your principles.

And we're not talking about, ah, they believe in a higher tax code.

We're so far past that now.

I'm looking for somebody who believes in the Bill of Rights.

Can you give me nine out of the top 10 on the Bill of Rights?

If you can,

we're buddies.

We have no arguments between us that make any real difference.

Well, with the phone companies, some of them are promoting abortion with donations to Planned Parenthood, which they have perfect right to do, but I'd prefer none of my money going to that company that they'll take their profits and fight against the things that I'm for.

Patriot Mobile is the only Christian conservative cell company out there and they are standing for life.

They are in

our neighborhoods trying to help us stand against some of the stuff that is happening in our schools and every time you make a phone call that money is going to them and they're helping us.

Stand with the people who are standing with you.

It's patriotmobile.com slash Beck.

You'll save money, get great phone service, and you'll support a company that's supporting you.

PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

972 Patriot is the number.

972 patriot use the offer code beck patriotmobile.com slash beck

dr paul zach he is a claremont graduate university professor which usually does not go in somebody's favor on this program but in his case uh it's a it's a great thing he has been he has been studying uh scientifically um how to improve your attitude and your life, how to create experiences that are really good, because we're changing as a society.

I want to talk to him specifically about gratitude.

His latest book is called Immersion, The Science of Extraordinary and the Source of Happiness.

Welcome, Paul.

How are you, sir?

Good morning, Glenn.

Great to talk to you.

Great to talk to you.

So I started the week asking my audience to start recognizing things that they're grateful for because I think we're so far away from understanding gratitude and

applying the actual action that that should

turn your gratitude into.

We don't even recognize the things most time that we're grateful for.

Can you talk to me a little bit about the science of gratitude and how it changes or perhaps doesn't change our life?

Right, I think your setup was exactly correct, that we have things that are so good now for most of us that we just feel like we're entitled to perfection.

But we are

a social species and we need the other people around us to really live satisfied lives.

So the data show that people who are grateful live longer and live healthier.

That is, they flourish better.

And they flourish because they're connected to those around us.

So when we are the opposite of grateful, when we're entitled, it wants to be around that person.

Oh, it's the worst.

I've noticed noticed that because I used to be a despicable human being, alcoholic, and I was just really in my 30s and I sobered up and I started to live my life completely differently.

And I used to think I hate people and that's when I was miserable.

I love people now and I love talking to people.

I love going into, you know,

a diner and the waitress and we'll strike up a conversation.

You know, what's your life like?

What's happening?

And it makes me happier.

It just makes me happier.

Yeah, and our brains evolved in human beings to connect to others.

So we have specific anatomical functions that are different than any other animal that, as you said, give us that value of social connection.

And when we're grateful, we are pleasant to be around.

We are aware of other people's emotions.

We let those people into our lives and vice versa.

And so we end up being of service to others, right?

And when you're nice to that waitress, she also has has a better day.

And then we start this virtuous cycle where you have a nice customer, the waitress is happy, she's nicer to the next customer.

And that's the way that we can improve society.

So social media has got to destroy happiness.

With what everything we're doing, where we're on our phones all the time, man,

kids are sitting next to each other and they're not talking, they're texting each other.

You know, with AI starting to come, there's an app now where, you know, you can have an AI friend that will talk to you.

That's not the same.

And it's just not,

it seems to me that that's one of the things that we are really missing is a closeness to a physical friend or family.

We're just caught up in this

world.

And that world that we're in is also telling us you don't have enough.

Somebody has more.

Like every good question, the answer is yes and no, right?

To the the extent that people are lonely, that is not adaptive for human beings.

It's a big risk factor for early death and unhappiness.

So social media in studies we've done gives you between 50 and 80%

of a real in-person interaction.

So it's not a bad substitute.

Now, the in-person, you have so much more bandwidth hitting your brain, right?

You have touch, you have smell, you have eye contact.

So you need that in-person interaction if you can get it.

But if you can't, I think social media is not a bad substitute if you're using that to form connections.

So not just looking at, you know, a five-second TikTok, but actually doing FaceTime, you know, connecting to people on Facebook, whatever it is.

Actually talking to people or communicating one-on-one with somebody.

For sure.

And what's really cool is that that one-on-one builds our capacity to emotionally connect to others very rapidly.

So the more we connect, the easier it is.

And here's the really cool thing from a health perspective.

Those social connections reduce cardiovascular stress, improve the immune system, keep us healthier and happier.

Okay, but may I just clarify one thing?

That's not tweeting something and then reading the responses.

That what you're talking about is an actual community, even if it's text back and forth with one another, you're talking about one-on-one communication or not?

Yes, sir, One-on-one, exactly.

Okay.

All right.

I'm sure you know about Glenn Fox and imagine you're a Holocaust survivor.

So

everything's better than that.

Victor Frankl, however, in Man's Search for Meaning, he found meaning because nothing had meaning.

Does gratitude play a role at that point on a level we can all understand?

It does to the extent that it connects us to others, right?

So Frankel found meaning in others and just living every day and being of service to others.

So part of the practice of gratitude is connecting and serving others and serving something bigger than yourself.

That makes you grateful to be on the planet.

So when I said earlier this week that we just have to at least start noticing the things that we're grateful for, and every day, once a day when you get up or, you know, twice a day, get up and go to sleep or whenever you want to write it.

But just write a list of the people and the things that you are grateful for.

My intent is that people will eventually start to

say those things to those people and start to put into action those thoughts.

But you first have to really kind of train yourself to notice these things.

Is there any kind of benefit from just noticing those things, having that switch turn on?

There is, because again, it focuses us on being good members of our communities, right?

Connecting us to others.

Glenn, some years ago, Time Magazine, your favorite publication, asked me to write a couple of sentences on New Year's resolutions, which I'm not a big fan of, honestly, but they said, no, what's your New Year News?

And I said, What I really want to do is for every social interaction I have, add love to the world.

So I call that the Love Plus program.

So I think that's a great way to show gratitude.

So every time you interact with someone, are you adding love to the world?

Are you decreasing love?

Are you making that person happier or less happy?

And if you're making that person happier, you get the reflection of that.

They go, oh, wow, it was so great to talk to Glenn.

He was so nice.

I'm thinking of the waitress in the diner you spoke to.

So then you start this virtuous cycle, and that's where that gratitude has a global impact.

You have, let me switch subjects here for just a bit, just kind of slide over to something else that you you do.

You're an entrepreneur.

You have, you know,

founded all kinds of different things, the Immersion Neuroscience, a software platform.

And you have also been with some of the biggest businesses.

You know, you're a TED Talks guy, and you talk a lot about these experiences.

People

are craving for real experiences.

And so you try to put this this in and teach business people how to increase happiness through experiences.

Are you looking yet at

things like the

immersive experiences that are all digital?

Things like the

thing called a metaverse?

Are you looking into that?

Are those the same

as a real physical experience?

I've stumped the good doctor.

I think we lost him.

Did we lose him?

Paul?

Dr.

Paul Zach,

let's reconnect with him.

Dr.

Paul Zach, the Claremont Graduate University Professor, author of Immersion.

It is fascinating what he studies.

and how he applies it.

We'll get back to him in just a minute.

First, let me tell you about Rough Greens.

Rough Greens is just the best.

Rough Greens has been making dogs healthier and happier for years.

And I can tell you with my own dog,

Uno, it is the real deal.

Tanya and I were talking about this last night.

And I said, Victor and Ella, which were the two German shepherds before Uno,

how

at the same age, what were they like?

And she said, don't you remember?

Uno couldn't walk up the stairs.

Neither could Ella at his age.

They just totally changed and really slowed down.

My dog is just beginning to slow down,

but he still hauls butt up the stairs.

He's really healthy.

The doctor just called back the vet with his blood test and all of it and said, it's amazing.

There's like everything.

There's not one red dot or yellow dot on any of the tests that I ran.

He is as good as a puppy.

And I really think, nothing to prove this, but my feeling is, because I watched him change, putting rough greens on his food has changed his life and extended it as well.

10 seconds, station ID.

Doc, I'm sorry, we lost you.

Dr.

Paul Zach, the author of Immersion, The Science of the Extraordinary and The Source of Happiness.

I was talking to you about the metaverse.

And I mean, I really see a time where a lot of people who don't have anything really going in their lives, they don't necessarily have a job.

And, you know, life for them is very different.

And they want to escape.

They're working to pay for admission to the metaverse where they can be anything.

Is the real experience that you study for happiness and share with these Fortune 500 companies, are real experiences, which I think people are craving, are they different than like what is coming in the metaverse?

Yes and no.

You know, I think our brain doesn't strongly differentiate between experiences in person and flickering images.

Think of people crying at movies, which neurologically to me is fascinating.

You know, these are fictional stories.

You know, these are professional actors.

You're aware you're in the theater.

And yet, at the end of the movie, the boy gets the girl.

So I agree with you, Glenn.

I think there's a risk that in the metaverse with that 3D surround, that it's going to be so compelling that we're just going to stay in our little rooms and never

talk to real real humans and lose that physical contact, lose that smell, that touch, that eye contact.

What does that do?

Long run.

I mean, it feels like we're running so many

experiments on our children right now, you know, with all of the stuff.

I know Silicon Valley is like, no, my kids aren't online.

My kids don't have these devices.

And we don't even know what this is going to do to them.

What does it do when you're trapped in a virtual world a a lot of the time?

Anything?

Again,

from a neurologic perspective, the brain doesn't differentiate.

We adapt right away to that new world.

So again, if it's so interesting and compelling and much more

valuable to us than the actual world, then we do have a problem.

So I think the answer is going to be a little bit's probably okay.

Like, you know, anything, like your food or moderation.

A little bit's probably all right.

Yeah.

Exactly, but don't overdo it.

Right.

with you saying that our happiness, I'm what I'm searching here for, and I'm sure you know, I'm searching for what is the hole that we would be a good place to start filling in.

There's so much suicide and despair and anger in the world.

Um, I know when I was younger, I really didn't want to have any children.

I have four children, um,

and now that I'm, you know, 58,

all I can think of is I, I, wow, 59, I'm sorry.

All I can think of now is besides when did I get so old, is I wish I had eight children because they're the only thing, family is the only thing that really gives true lasting happiness.

With us not having children, so many children, and women now waiting so long,

is that affecting us too?

The data are not clear on that, but I think the great thing about children is they, particularly for men, they really humanize us, right?

We really learn how to give full love to others.

So I think people without children and people whose children are out of the house can take that same approach and apply it to our dear friends, to our elderly family members, to our nieces and nephews.

Again, the brain is so adaptive and we need connection, just desperately need it.

I have about two minutes left, and I just want to ask you, the science of the extraordinary is such a great opening line for your book, Immersion.

Can you boil that down in 90 seconds and tell me what that is?

What does it even mean?

Yeah, so there is a science to extraordinary experiences from movies to

customer experiences to social interactions.

And it's driven by these two core neurochemicals that are measurable.

And once we measure those, then we can really create extraordinary experiences.

And as you said, Glenn, basically stretch our brains to be better social creatures, to be more emotionally connected to others, to be fully present and really build our own happiness and flourishing.

And is this written for the average person or is this mainly a business book of people how to run their businesses

in a much more human sort of way to give the customer the best experience?

Yeah, it's really both.

I mean, it focuses on businesses, but if you think about anything you do in your life, arranging your house, getting married, right?

We're all creating experiences.

So lots of tips on there on how to live a happier life.

And again, stretch your brain to really be fully present for those around you.

I can't thank you enough for what you study.

And we did our homework.

You are, I mean, you're not just only the leading source of this stuff.

You are really, really buttoned up on it and have done so much.

We are, I am, struggling to look how I can help my audience find

peace in an absolute tumultuous world where everything seems upside down.

We're looking at, we're missing something to be able to weather through this and be able to get to the other side because we all will survive.

And I'd like to talk to you again.

And if there's ever anything that comes to mind, I'd love to talk to you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, Glenn.

Appreciate it.

I'm grateful for you.

God bless.

Me too.

For you.

I can tell you from personal experience that if there is one thing worse than being in pain that you are determined to beat, it's being in pain that you're resigning yourself to live with.

There's one thing when you're on the pursuit and you're like, I'm not going to.

And then there's another where you're like, I might be like this for the rest of my life.

That is a dark place to be.

I have been there

and I am not there anymore.

And I credit most of it to Relief Factor.

It broke the back of whatever was going on in my body.

And my biggest problem was inflammation.

It just, my whole body was inflamed.

And I'm still a little puffy, but doctors tell me that's fat.

But the three-week quick start might get you out of that pain.

It's a trial pack of Relief Factor, 100% natural, so it's not going to zap you or anything like that.

And it works four different directions, unlike ibuprofen.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Are you watching 1926?

Anybody watching that?

That is one of the Yellowstone

prequels.

It has,

what's his name?

Harrison Ford and Ellen Mirren in it.

Helen Mirren in it.

She is fantastic.

So is he.

I like this better than Yellowstone.

Really?

Yeah.

I mean,

you know, I think I'm the only one here in the room that is watching Yellowstone, but

I've kind of gotten a little tired of the, we're loading the cattle up.

Here's this beautiful picture of the cattle going into a truck and driving across the country.

Right, this slow burn sort of pacing.

Yeah, they're, they're, they've slowed everything down.

And, you know, they're, you know, it's a picnic with a country band.

And I'm like, I don't really care about any of this.

Yeah.

And, but the storyline is great, but but 1926, I think it is, it's fantastic, just fantastic.

And there was one scene where they go into town and they see electricity for the first time.

And, you know, they live out in the middle of nowhere.

And they go into Bozeman, Montana, which wasn't exactly a hotbed in 1926.

23, I think it is.

Oh, 1923.

And they.

They come into town and this guy has a washing machine and a refrigerator and everything out on the sidewalk and they're walking by and they're like what's this and it's these cowboys and helen marin and uh they said well we're putting in electricity all new york has electricity and the cowboys are like uh-huh new york back then made the same thing you know as it does now and they're like uh-huh and they said uh

uh so what are these things and he said well

You can rent these from us or buy them from us.

This is a refrigerator and he explains how it works.

This is a washing machine, and you can do other stuff.

And they're like,

What other stuff?

And only the women there are like, well, the washing machine is pretty good.

And

one guy says, So, wait a minute, I have to pay you for the electricity.

Yes.

And I pay you over time

for the refrigerator.

Yes.

I'm a free man.

That sounds like slavery to me.

And they talk about how, I mean, at one point, Harrison Ford is shaving and with a, no, not with a straight edge, but with a Gillette, old Gillette razor kind of thing.

And he's shaving and his wife, Helen Mirren, said, I just love watching you shave.

And then they start talking and she says, do you know that in some parts now of the country, women are starting to shave?

And he went, what?

And she said, yeah, they're shaving under their arms and their legs.

Like we ever took a straight razor and did that.

And he says, ah, that's just a passing fad.

And she said, no, you know what?

It wasn't enough for the razor blade companies to have half the population.

They needed all of it.

And she said, greed is going to destroy us.

And you watch and you're like, oh, wow.

I don't know.

That sort of greed.

I thank God we were greedy.

Thank God for the Razor companies and their greed to create that trend.

But wait a minute.

That trend, that trend came from

somebody trying to sell you something.

And so it became trendy.

For instance,

no, it's just right.

It's just right.

It's just right.

Ask the European, go to France and then figure out if you just think it's right or wrong.

Whether it's caused by greed or not, it's the correct decision.

Okay.

I mean, I am with you.

Okay.

I'm just pointing out.

I'm not sure we got there by ourselves.

And I'm willing to be open to stuff.

This week, I went to a,

I can't believe I'm saying this.

I went into Dallas.

Okay.

I never go into Dallas.

There's no reason to ever go into Dallas.

No reason.

Only murders and traffic happen in impurities.

Absolutely true.

And

sorry.

Murders, traffic, and high taxes.

That's what happens in big cities.

And some good restaurants.

Well, that's what I found.

And

my business partner said, Hey, can you come out?

We're bringing us a bunch of people.

And I'm like, sure.

Where?

And he's like, well, it's in the city.

And I'm like, I'm out.

And he's like, no, we got to go.

And I'm like, why did you pick it?

And he said, it's really good.

And I said, okay.

So I can get a good steak.

And he said, well, it's sushi.

And I said, I hate sushi.

I

hate it.

Like, it's poison.

I don't understand.

Hey, let me take an octopus from the bottom of the sea, chop its legs off, chop it up in little pieces, throw some rice on it, and hand it to you in a little bite size and say, yum, no, thank you.

I went to this restaurant.

Sarah, do you remember the name of this restaurant that I said it was?

I believe it was Uchi, is what you said it was.

Uchi.

U-C-H-I.

Oh my gosh.

It is top three to five meals I've ever had in my life.

I mean, I'm just piling this,

you know, sushi, raw fish, and I hate seafood, and I really

hate raw seafood.

It was unbelievable.

It was like some hypnosis or something.

It was so good.

I didn't pick up the tab, so I have no idea what it costs.

I'm sure it's cheap, but I'm guessing

raw fish

at a really good restaurant was perhaps a little pricey.

But if your kids don't have to go to college, you might want to try this place out.

I don't have any idea.

But you'd have to come to Dallas, and there's only murder, taxes, and what was the other thing?

Traffic.

Yeah.

Nothing good.

Nothing good.

Except good restaurants.

Yeah, but that restaurant eventually, because of the murder rate, it's just going to have to move out of town and it'll come out, you know, to the suburbs where real people, they're thinking you know hey i could be murdered here uh they get out hey i'm paying way too much to the city and i'm not really getting a good lifestyle in return they'll move out and then the restaurant will go so i'm just i want to point that out uh one other thing um richard dreyfus is my podcast this week and it is crazy it is crazy Richard Dreyfus, if you don't know,

you know, he's the scientist on the boat with Jaws.

He is won an Oscar for Goodbye Girl, Mr.

Holland's Opus.

The guy's been in a billion things.

He is a Hollywood legend and as he pointed out during the show,

he was a full-fledged communist.

I mean, I went through his family history.

It's nuts.

This guy didn't have a chance to be normal and, you know,

love

democracy, not a chance from the get-go.

However, it's not true to some degree.

He's not a communist anymore.

But

he talked about how even the communists when he was growing up loved America, loved it.

And he's like, there isn't anything like that now.

And he's like, you know,

I was a communist, but I couldn't tell you anything about it, you know, back when I was younger.

And I'm like, I don't know what the difference there.

And so he's on because he believes civics needs to be taught again.

And I just fell in love with this guy.

We don't agree on a lot of stuff, but I didn't, you know, I wasn't like, that's not, that's, I don't agree with.

We just had a great conversation.

I'd love to be this guy, nate guy's neighbor, really.

He's very well read.

He is, I think, wrong on a few things, but

who cares?

He's right on a lot of real strong principles.

And I didn't realize this until we started the

podcast.

But apparently, I had a huge effect on his life.

I thought it was in a negative way, but he said it was a positive thing.

I didn't realize, but I outed him.

As somebody who I was at a Ted Cruz rally and I met him backstage

and he's this guy walking up and I'm like,

Richard Dreyfus, are you in the right building?

And he said, you know, I don't agree with any of the stuff that's going on.

I'm looking for any kind of answer that makes sense.

I want to hear him.

Uh, and so I, you know, I, I said, he was backstage.

Listen, apparently that caused some problems.

Here he is on that.

You said to me before we went on the air that, um,

I outed you,

and, uh, and I immediately responded, I'm sorry, I didn't know I didn't, you know.

And you said, no, that was a good thing.

That was a good thing.

In what way?

And

how can we get Hollywood or other people and people on, you know,

on the other side as well

to

stop with the tribalism.

Stop.

Both sides.

Stop it.

And start to

be a little more brave to say, yeah, that's who I am.

Yeah.

Did you get pushed back when I said?

Oh, my gosh.

I'm so sorry, Richard.

I'm so sorry.

No, it was great because now

I had a kind of place in my universe.

I had been a liberal.

I had been a communist when I was younger.

And if you had asked me what communism was, I could not have told you.

As I think it's true now.

Yeah,

you wouldn't know how to describe it.

I knew that I was changing, and I knew that I was changing for the better, the clearer, the above, the

nicer.

I knew that.

I could feel it.

And I began to see the phrases that indicated that that writer

was a duck, was a loser.

And I found them everywhere,

on the left and on the right.

And it was easy for me to be anti-right because my whole community was anti-right.

But I began to move, really, until I became a celebrity and I joined

Common Cause.

Do you remember what Common Cause was?

It was

an institution that was

by John Gardner, who worked for both Republicans and Democrats.

And he wanted to create an institution

for those people who were neither Republican or Democrat, or both,

and could criticize both.

Yes.

So I joined that when I became famous.

And I went to Washington and immediately said, where are the Republicans?

And no, they didn't talk about that.

And what had happened was that it had become an adjunct to the Democratic Party.

Then I joined, I also joined the Constitution Center.

And I spent 10 years on the Constitution Center board saying, where is the honest history

instead of the safe history?

And they were

really the right-wing version of common cause.

And

they finally found a way to kick me out.

And that's true.

I mean, so he goes on, he talks about how we need to educate our kids about America.

He deeply loves America.

We had an argument about Thomas Jefferson and everything else, but he deeply loves this country.

And

you won't agree with everything he says, but you will agree on the attitude that if good people, he is convinced.

that we are at the end unless people on both sides put

their swords and shields down and start talking to one another about basic principles, which is which I'm all about.

We agree, we're 100% in lockstep on that.

We disagree on a lot of other things.

This is something that you can share with liberal friends.

This is something that you should watch.

It is.

I think it's a good demonstration of sitting down with somebody that you don't agree on some pretty big things, but you have, you know what time it is, and you both know the bill of rights is the solution Richard Dreyfus don't miss this.

It's on the blaze now.

You can get it tomorrow wherever you get your podcasts

If you're somebody who considers yourself fiscally responsible

or if you'd like to be fiscally responsible time to wake up and smell the insanity because it is everywhere you see yesterday Bitcoin went back up to 18,000 gold was up and it's up over 19 today.

Yeah, and that had everything to do with the dollar.

And that is going to happen.

It's going to fluctuate back and forth, back and forth, and while they try to convince you that everything is fine, but eventually it is going away.

The dollar will become worthless.

So what are you doing with your dollars?

If you're

in the bank and you're losing, what, 7% just in inflation, you compound that over a few years.

You've lost a lot of money.

Goldline has an awesome special this week for every tube of the quarter ounce Mayflower Gold Commemoratives.

That's a quarter ounce of solid gold.

You'll receive a hundred of the same Mayflower copper rounds at no additional cost.

Don't wait, these are selling out.

They are really, really beautiful.

And they commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower.

I designed them.

They are commemorative coins.

They're really beautiful, and you can use them because they're solid gold.

866 Goldline.

By the way, they have them in silver as well.

Ask them.

The Glen Beck Program.

This is the Glenbeck Program.

Well, let's also end the week the way we started.

Monday, we find out that there's a study that came out in November that Richard Trump was talking about on some show over the weekend about gas stoves being dangerous for asthma for our kids.

And then we find out that Governor Hochul the next day is introducing legislation and Washington state has already nixed it in their, I don't know, their construction code.

So in Washington state, you're not building anything with a gas stove.

And they did it without passing it or doing anything.

They just did it in committee.

Yeah.

And now even one of the authors of the study is saying what's clear from the study, that it does not assume or estimate a causal relationship between childhood asthma and natural gas stoves.

The people who came up with the study are saying

there's some correlation there, but we do not see causation there.

I'm telling you, this is not a mistake or an error.

Washington State did this back in November or December.

I mean,

this is a path that they are taking to limit again your access to energy.

And they can say that's a conspiracy theory, all they want.

They have no credibility.
