Hey, welcome to the Friday podcast.

It is doozy today.

Ron DeSantis suspending the progressive Soros-backed state attorney is just the beginning of good news on today's show.

We also have some hitches in our get-along, if you will.

The FBI director finds the allegations that the FBI mishandled the Hunter Biden information really troubling.

He read it and, oh, he finds it deeply troubling.

Yeah?

Are you doing anything about it?

Also, Ted Cruz got the FBI director to make an astonishing admission about the agent who was in charge during the Whitmer kidnapping plot investigation.

Yeah.

You may know this because we've talked about it before, but now he's on record.

Yeah, that guy is the dirtbag that is now overseeing the January 6th

investigation.

Nope, not a problem on that.

Also, they're hiding tapes.

We talked about that.

The FBI is a big topic.

The climate bill.

Hey, Kristen Cinema, she's finally on board.

Well, I'm going to tell you what it's going to do to your food in just a minute.

Also, also, a whole segment of just really good news.

And Bill O'Reilly.

Also, Michael Malice joins us.

And Monkey Pox all on today's podcast.

Brought to you by Goldline.

Here's something amazing.

Tons of Americans out there still don't know that it's possible to use your retirement account to acquire precious metals.

That could help your savings in retirement, building up a protective wall against inflation or any other kind of insanity like, I don't know, stock market crash.

Oh, that will never happen.

Really?

It's a big deal, and it's something that Goldline could help you out with right now.

Been working with Goldline for over a decade, and that's because I trust them.

I was a customer of theirs long before they were a customer of mine.

Here's the podcast.

You're listening to

the best of the Blend Beck program.

Love this, love this.

Shoplifter from New York,

he's been arrested before, but they caught him.

And

apparently

he's only been arrested 101 times.

And this is his 102.

And once you pass 102, I don't know.

Did they give him, was there a ticker tape thing that happened in the courtroom?

You just went over 100.

Congratulations.

You're number one.

I'm not sure, but he's out again.

Also, a man on bail for attempted murder, who was also also out on bail for two separate gun cases,

is now in court

for another gun in a stolen car.

And,

you know,

the prosecutors just said, wait, wait, wait.

We're going to give him bail, right?

I mean, we're going to let him out.

The judge, thank God, said, are you out of your mind?

No, actually, this is the way of the world now, judge.

He's in jail today, finally.

By the way, we can't prosecute people, but the Trump, the Trump and White House Trump officials are likely to be criminally charged now in the election probe.

And the good news is, is this completely against the Constitution, but the

Capitol Police have decided on their own, nothing to do with Nancy Pelosi.

They just took it upon themselves that they are going to

appoint their own prosecutor.

So the police are going to pick their own prosecutor, completely against the law and unconstitutional, and

they're going to let them prosecute.

And if it doesn't work out the first time the way they want, they'll appoint their own judge, too, you know, because they're the Capitol Police.

They don't answer anybody, but I don't think that's a problem.

I don't think that's a problem.

Can we please play the Energy Secretary audio about the spiraling oil prices and and what we're going to do about it.

Here's Jennifer Granholm.

It's cut one.

You know what?

These upward spiraling prices of fossil fuels are exactly why we have to transition to a clean economy.

Because, I mean, my counterpart in Ireland, Minister Ryan, often says, no country has ever been held hostage to access to the sun or access to the wind.

So let's build our own energy security, all of us, at home, so that we are not held hostage.

First of all, did you see The Simpsons?

Has anyone ever heard of Montgomery Burns?

His entire plan

was stopping the sun.

No, nobody's ever held people hostage from the sun.

That doesn't happen.

And my Irish friend, my Irish counterpart, he also says, top of the morning.

And I love it when he says that.

It's just full of sunshine.

I get power off of that.

Ryan, is that even a real person?

You're just saying, you know, Irish names at this point.

I met him at a pot of gold.

Anyway,

the spiraling oil prices.

You mean the ones you caused?

The ones you caused are exactly why we must go green.

Whenever you hear the administration talk about this transition, it's not a transition from inflation.

It is in transition to a new world order.

That's what's happening.

That's what they mean in this transition.

A complete green society and one run by the Great Reset.

We love these transitional periods.

You're listening to the best of the Glendeck program.

Oh, yeah,

dog,

man, one with the streets.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

It is Friday.

All right, Stu.

Yes.

You're ready for some good news.

Yes, Glenn.

Now, why do you say it like that?

No, I was just reacting to

your claim of being one with the streets.

Oh, that's me.

You know that.

That's your history.

I know.

Cut 15 is what we're going to play, and cut 15

is

really quite entertaining.

This was posted on,

I don't know,

Commichat.

What's a TikTok?

And

it's a teacher.

of a middle school class who's having a crisis.

Listen to this.

Okay, TikTok, I really need your help here on this one.

I'm a teacher.

I teach fifth and sixth grade.

And this morning, I don't know, somehow,

the concept of pronouns came up.

And

one of my students said, well, Miss Odell, did you even ask me my pronouns?

And I was like, whoa,

I hadn't actually asked him his pronouns, and I had called him a him.

And I said, oh, I'm so sorry.

I haven't actually called you.

I mean, asked you what your pronouns are.

And

what are they?

And he said, I'm sorry, banana said, banana and rock.

And I was like, dude, no, like, don't mess around.

I was actually really upset because I thought he was making fun of it.

And in fact, I'm still pretty sure he was making fun of it.

And, but they all agreed: no, like, you can choose anything.

Banana, rock.

If you want banana and rock to be a pronoun, banana and rock's your pronoun.

Is it?

Good God.

Oh, no, you cut it off there.

Oh, how could he have cut it off there?

Her next statement is, is it really true?

Are we at this place in America where a pronoun, you can just choose anything?

Yes, yes, that's where we're on.

That's where we are.

That's where we are.

You're just catching on to this?

Don't make fun of that.

Pencil over there is crying pencils little eyes out.

It's absolutely incredible that because obviously that's 100% what I would be doing in high school right now or in middle school.

That is exactly what I would be doing.

I would be torturing every teacher, demanding they call me banana or rock.

100% that's my whole school.

I would be the most obnoxious.

I was pretty obnoxious in class, as you can imagine.

But I would be the most obnoxious.

The most obnoxious.

At this time.

Oh, my.

My parents would kill me.

I I mean, my dad would be, you know, jobless.

My mother would have been burned at the stake.

I mean, because I would have just been crazy with this.

Yes.

I would have used this to get out of the school.

Same pronoun.

Every single day.

Every day I would have some sort of made-up gender crisis to go home.

I mean, I would go, it would be, I would manipulate this system into zero days of school.

That's exactly what I would do with it.

And I'd be proud of it.

I'd be dumb, but I'd be proud of it.

You're listening to the best of the Glenbeck Program.

This is the Glenbeck Program.

Mr.

Michael Malice, author of The Anarchist, a handbook and a great book

called Dear Leader, and the host of his podcast, you're welcome.

Michael Malis, what is it that you think is the biggest story of the week?

Well, I think the biggest issue was the primaries that happened on Tuesday, and

more broadly speaking, and I'm sure this is something you've discussed as well, is this insane breaksmanship that the members of the Democratic Party seem to be playing in some of these primaries.

Because the argument is you have this kind of insurrectionist wing of of the Republican Party and they're going to destroy democracy.

Dick Cheney, one of the great villains of our time, just cut an ad for his despicable daughter saying Donald Trump is the worst, the most dangerous person that America's ever had to face in the future of our republic.

The most dangerous?

Dick Cheney's basically bin Laden with the cross.

He's a domestic terrorist who kills millions of people and literally has no heart and has no consequences for it.

How many children has he killed?

You know, it's despicable.

But the point is, let's they're they're telling the truth and they genuinely believe this they're trying to push trump candidates toward the general with the presumption makes no sense that that these candidates can't get elected but trump won in 2020 at least and this was stalin's strategy in germany in the 30s which is he had the german communists who had an enormous amount of support

go after the Social Democrats Party, Social Democrat Party, excuse me, call them social fascists, and basically say say that those are the ones you should attack instead of Hitler.

So if what they're saying is not some cynical ploy, this would be demented.

And since we have a dementia patient in the White House, maybe it's appropriate.

But

this shows that these people are not,

either they're really, really dumb or they're really, really dishonest.

I think it's a combination of both of them, honestly.

I think there are some that are just so unbelievably

dishonest, and it stems from them just being really, really stupid, I think.

What did you think of, you know, yesterday everybody was talking about Alex Jones.

The mainstream media went crazy with that, but they didn't talk that

yesterday also,

Kevin Spacey was ordered to pay, I think, $31 million

in bad boy money.

And there was another one that happened yesterday.

I can't remember.

I mean, it wasn't just Alex Jones, but again, the media picks and chooses.

What did you think of that?

Well, I had Alex on my show last week.

I mean, Alex is clearly being made into a test case to demonstrate that, you know, they had him by the short hairs.

They were more than happy to see if they can twist the knife.

The story that I think people might not be aware of is apparently his

attorney.

handed over his entire phone records, excuse me, every text message he sent and every email he sent for the last two years by accident, and then later used that to try to call for a mistrial after, you know, know he had a window to say you got to send it back and he didn't say anything about it uh they were asking for 150 million dollars or more uh the jury gave the the families four million but they're still at the penal the penalty phase that's going to come uh to date so i i don't think you know there's a lot of people salivating that i hope this is the end of alex jones and they haven't given a reason as to why uh you know he said horrible things he apologized for those horrible things he's going to pay his price what is it that he's saying that they find so dangerous dangerous?

And I think it is that Alex Jones' whole shtick is the belief that what is told to us by the corporate press is, in fact, dishonest.

My disagreement with Alex was he's naive because this government would have no problem killing kids to further their agenda, as we saw in Afghanistan last summer, where no one had any consequences for it or even outrage.

Well,

I tend to agree with you.

However, you know, I think what he did, and this is not a legal argument, this is just a personal argument.

I think what he was saying about, you know, that this was a psyops and, you know, all these kids were actors and the parents were actors.

I just,

I found that the lowest of the low.

But if you believed it, which I'm not sure if he did or not, but if you believed it, I guess you have a right to say it.

Yeah,

there's something very much to be said that if you're saying things that are so outrageous and it's, you know, like you don't get to go to a funeral and just laugh at people and just kind of shrug it off and say it's free speech.

And if it's something when you're saying that your kids are being used, you know, to further an agenda and they didn't really die, there is limits to free speech.

And Alex acknowledges this.

He's the first one.

He's saying this is completely wrong what I did.

I should have done it.

You know, I should have caused these parents pain and suffering.

So this is it, but the thing is, he's also on trial in Connecticut.

So this was the Texas verdict.

He had the Connecticut verdict.

And they very much want to, regardless of Alex, broadly speaking, there is very much an attempt, which we heard in 2016 when it was a given that Hillary was going to win and fake news was their term,

the establishment's term, that questioning establishment narratives, whether it's with COVID, whether it's the 2020 election, unless you're Stacey Abrams, is something that needs to be made heretical.

So when you say this is just the beginning of something,

what do you foresee?

I mean,

we saw ourselves doing during COVID.

You know, to have any kind of views outside of carefully delimited parameters established by tech companies and or the media and or the government is enough enough to do to for them to do what they can to silence the person.

But thankfully, in my opinion, the technology isn't there to banish someone because, as of today, despite big seven-figure legal judgments against him, if you want to know what Alex Jones has to say, his book's coming out in a few weeks.

So, that power that they had to banish people that you and I can rattle off and remember that power has largely gone.

And I think they're frantic about it.

Yeah, I think the thing is starting to

fall apart because

they're in such a panic mode because they were too arrogant.

They just let it rip with everything.

And, you know, I just, I don't see it lasting long.

The gender reassignment surgery stuff, I don't know if you saw what came out of Great Britain, but I did about 45 minutes on it yesterday in the podcast.

And that thing is...

That is just, it's crazy.

They are literally saying overseas, they're saying, don't follow the American model.

They have gone off the rails.

And now Sweden, Finland,

where else was it?

England and one other country, they have released studies that show this is the most dangerous thing that you can do to a child.

And they're stopping it.

They're closing it all down.

But I think the problem with America is that there's a huge wing of the Democratic Party that can't do anything but double down.

And that if you you challenge this doubling down, you're basically effectively read out of leftism.

So they're going to be in a really tricky position.

You know, we just started talking about how they're trying to push the Trump wing in terms of getting them forward to the general.

There's also a big movement within the Democratic Party to purge people who are in any sense

moderates on any issue.

Look at Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema, who are basically being treated as Trump figures by many Democratic activists.

It's crazy.

So how does that end, Michael?

Traditionally, how does that end?

Oh, it's going to end fun for me because I do love the political carnage, and I'm sure on some level you do too, because they're really going to be faced with two bad choices.

And when we watch them try to reconcile square the circle, it's going to be very public and very hilarious.

Or we're all going to be, you know, locked up.

But in that case, hopefully, I'll get the top bunk

glenn, excuse me.

So, so

let me ask you this.

The last question is on Nancy Pelosi, and it's not about Taiwan or anything else.

We're having a serious debate.

Is she senile

or is she drunk all the time?

Or is it possible that she's both?

I mean, it could just be that she has loose dentures, but here's my view on Pelosi.

If the Republicans take Congress, they should do an investigation of what's going on with her husband, his money, and that arrest.

And that would really hit the Democrats where it hurts.

You know what?

I don't think the Republicans will do it because I'll bet you there's a lot of Republicans that would be, and I'd be glad for that, but I wonder if they'd even do it.

I think when Hunter Biden and Joe Biden are gone, nobody in the political ruling class gives a flying crap about it.

All the Republicans, they just wouldn't care about it.

And somebody's going to start paying for their crimes.

Okay, thank you.

Michael Malice, I appreciate it.

Thank you.

It's

Michael Malice

and

his website or his podcast is You're Welcome.

You can hear it wherever you get your podcasts.

This is the best of the Glenbeck program.

Well, hello, America, and welcome to the Glenbeck program.

We're glad you're here.

We have a huge show, last hour of the week.

I'm going to be at CPAC tomorrow.

And the New York Times just came out with an article

about

the people who are attacking ESG.

They're crazy.

They're trying to destroy one of the best things ever, and they're very dangerous.

Really?

I thought it was all a conspiracy theory.

Now there's a new line of attack.

Sure, it exists, but stopping it is evil.

Oh, okay.

I might be changing my topic at CPAC tomorrow.

I'm just saying, because I love the New York Times.

All right, we're going to take a quick break, one minute, and then we're right into the Biden administration's monkeypox orders and the craziness that is California.

Stand by.

You and I both know all of our children are gifts from God.

There is no doubt.

But they're also our responsibility.

We have to feed them?

Oh, that's not a question.

I thought, because I didn't know.

You have to feed them.

Huh, write that one down.

Clothe them, ensure that there's a roof over their heads.

And most importantly,

help them learn.

Learn the truth.

Help them discern the truth.

You have to help them develop their minds.

You have to make sure that they're educated so that when they leave the nest and go out into this country of ours, they're prepared to help preserve it from harm.

I want you to check out the Tuttle Twins' brand new book.

It's called American History.

American History.

I want you to grab this book.

In fact, just go online.

You don't even have to buy it.

Just preview a free sample

chapter.

See for yourself why I think it is so good for our kids.

It doesn't concentrate on the names and the story, the names and the dates memorization, but on the stories.

It's crucial that we start telling our story again.

It's TuttleTwinsBeck.com.

Go there now.

Check it out.

So,

Stu, the Biden administration has declared monkeypox a public health emergency.

Now,

is this a public health emergency?

I mean, are we all, aren't we clear?

I mean, it's really simple, and it has nothing to do with gay people at all.

Nothing, seriously, nothing.

I think we could make a really clear rule.

You can comment in a second.

I think we can make a really clear rule.

Don't have sex or actively cuddle with anyone who has open, weepy sores.

Now,

I never thought I'd have to say that,

but

I guess we do.

Don't just roll around naked with somebody with sores.

Don't snuggle up to somebody's face who has open, weepy, pussy sores.

Don't do it.

That's the way we solve this, and it's not really that hard of a problem, is it?

You are really demeaning the OS community, the open source community, Glenn.

Where's their fun?

And all of that.

Sorry.

Yeah.

I know.

All those people

who are really

downtrodden people, people who have been ignored, the open source society,

I do apologize to you, but you are the problem.

They'd say, I have open, weepy sores, and yet I'm going to rub them all over somebody else.

Yeah, it's a problem.

There's these questions that are going around, is this an issue that is specific to the LGBTQQIA2 plus community?

And the answer to that is yes and no, right?

No, it's not the only way you can pass it, right?

You can have other, like if you have, you can have intimate contact, you can have skin-to-skin contact over long periods of time, you can touch an open sore and put it in your eye.

There's other ways you can pass it.

However, and this is the important part, the other side of it too, which is the yes side of it.

98% of cases are in the community of men having sex with men.

With men.

With men.

Now, I do want to.

I guess you could say that you're bisexual, so that makes you not gay.

But it doesn't make you heterosexual.

Right.

So there's a this has been a thing, because I've been fascinated by this terminology, because what we typically do, Glenn, in the English language, let's say, is we have something like

a hamburger, okay?

And a hamburger is a word that is used to symbolize a definition

of something else.

A piece of cow fried up on a griddle,

put on a

a couple of buns with lettuce, a tomato, and other toppings.

We don't say it like that because if we talked like that, it would take six months to get through anything.

So instead, we come up with a word that summarizes all of that called a hamburger.

Now, in every news story in America about monkeypox,

the story is men having sex with men, which is fascinating because

we have words that would define sexual activity.

We actually even have abbreviations, right?

Like we have LGBTQQIA2 plus.

We all understand that sort of behavior.

To have to describe it every single time is a bit arduous linguistically, I would say.

Yeah, and it's

you know, it's also something that I don't want, you know, if I have very young children, I don't want to be in the car like you may be right now with your car, with your child, and they look up and say, what do do they mean

men having sex with men, mommy?

I will say, if you made it through the open source conversation and you're still here with your little kids, that's on you.

Okay, that's on you as a parent.

Kids can have open source, and it's not monkeypox.

That's true.

Of course, anyone I see with a cold sore or anything, and my first response is, could be monkeypox.

Probably monkeypox.

Could be cancer, but probably monkeypox.

Can I bring up one other part of this that I don't think is getting nearly enough attention right now?

Which is how badly Joe Biden has screwed this up.

Yeah, I know.

It's hard to believe.

But first of all, you know, this isn't saying it's a pandemic.

It's saying it's a public health emergency, which the LGBTQQIA2 plus community is upset about.

And they're upset about it for one reason.

because they waited so long to declare it a public health emergency.

This just helps direct funds and all the things that it does.

But the interesting part about that is it appears that Joe Biden and his administration did not make it a public health emergency earlier because they did not want to add stigma to the virus and to gay people who might be getting it, or excuse me, men having sex with men who might be getting it.

So they, for woke purposes to not stigmatize, they didn't make it a public health emergency, didn't make it into a bigger deal within the communities affected, and that has made the problem worse.

The other situation: Okay, so wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Because I just have to make sure I have this right.

I know.

I just want to make sure I have this part right.

So, when Reagan was slow on AIDS because he said it's only a gay disease, which he didn't say, but he slowly did.

And

right, right.

But they claimed that he was, he hesitated because it was only a gay disease.

and and uh and then when he saw rock hot rock rock hutson who was gay but a friend they say that's when he was interested and they were really upset because obviously inaction kills people so they said he was an evil evil dude for that

are they going to say the same thing about joe biden because while he did it for the opposite reasons i don't want to bring stigma to the disease i mean if it's a disease i think it's already got as much stigma on it as it is.

The sores are the stigma.

When you have open source, there's stigma attached to that, especially for sources.

Unless you've been harpooned or something like that, then that open sore might just be something you should check anyway, but might not be monkeypox.

But now that he's had people die from it.

No, not anyone died from it because it generally doesn't kill people.

But anyway, now that he's hesitated, are they going to hate him?

I don't know.

It's a good point.

And you're correct.

Zero people in the United States have died.

I think it's nine worldwide have died from monkeypox.

Now, look,

you could say that it's going to get worse and that may happen.

And it is something serious.

It's apparently very, very painful and terrible to deal with.

But there's more to this story, which the thing is, this is unlike COVID, right?

This is not like we have a new virus and we're like, holy crap, what do we do?

We better get Operation Warp Speed.

We better get all these medicines in the pipeline, all these things going on.

We already have a vaccine for this already ready.

It was something that we already had gone through for smallpox, and the smallpox vaccine works on monkeypox.

Now, not too long ago, Glenn, we had 20 million doses of this vaccine, which we just let expire.

Now,

so now when we need it, we don't have it.

And that's not all Joe Biden's fault, but the second part of it is, which is he,

let me give you this.

This is from the New York Times.

By the time the federal government had placed its orders, because we waited too long, the vaccine's Denmark-based manufacturer, Bavarian Nordic, had booked other clients and was unable to do the work for months, officials said, even though the federal government had invested well over $1 billion in the vaccine's development.

So we helped make the vaccine.

Then we had 20 million doses that we let expire.

And it was so bad that Health and Human Services so miscalculated the need that on May 23rd, this is not like two years ago, five years ago, when you might understand we don't think monkeypox is coming.

On May 23rd of this year, they allowed Bavaria Nordic, the vaccine manufacturer, to deliver 215,000 fully finished doses that the federal government had already bought to European countries instead of holding them for the United States.

Well, I think it's another fine decision by the Biden administration.

Of course.

I mean, it fits right in.

Can I ask you this?

Listen to this.

Listen to this.

There's a new guide out,

a new guide how to protect yourself.

Yes.

And it says if you discover a bump on your skin,

but

you still want to, and I'm not making this up,

share in the fun of a gay fetish festival,

but you have a bump on your skin that might be monkeypox.

You should quote, cover it up with a band-aid or clothing before you go out.

Now, that's interest.

That's really interesting.

That's fascinating.

So,

I'm going to add open weepy source to band-aids now.

Okay.

So,

the San Francisco, San Francisco had their annual up your alley street fair.

Yeah.

And the

California senator, Scott

Weiner, which is

a senator.

And

they told potential attendees of the Fetish Festival how to remain safe.

Weiner,

I'm sorry, the senator, shared a guide from the organization on Core Alley without fear of monkeypox.

Core Alley is the Up Your Alley Street Fest.

And they said it was really great guidance on monkeypox so we can continue to have fun while reducing risk.

Well, now, wait a minute.

I'm not sure that going ahead with

the Up Your Alley Fetish Festival

is necessarily the best idea.

Now, remember, this is coming from the California, but remember, our own government, as soon as the Biden administration got in, one of the first things they did was

put out advice on how you can safely attend orgies.

So now they're doing this.

Now, I just, I, you know, this wiener says, you know,

you know, that we have to, we have to, you know,

you know, just go out there and have fun, but, you know, put a band-aid on, you know,

and,

but just go, just go out and have fun, you know what I mean?

But here's what he said in 2020 about COVID.

We need a national mask mandate, period.

That's how we'll beat this virus.

He went on to say here recently about the monkeypox that we don't need any top-down rules.

People should decide

what is right for them when it comes to their health.

Hmm.

Fascinating.

And,

you know, I just, before I take a quick break,

I was thinking of this, and I want a response that is intellectual and

accurate

and accurate on how I feel.

So

I would just say to Senator Weiner,

up your alley.

I mean, no, that sounds like a great time.

Anyway,

not up your alley.

Up yours.

We've upped our protection.

Now, up yours.

You're listening to the best of the Glen Beck program.

So,

I want you to listen very carefully to this story.

Democrats block measures to stop gain of function research.

Now this is according to John Solomon reports.

Gain of function is a process by which researchers genetically modify a virus.

What?

Senate Democrats on Thursday declined to offer unanimous consent to two measures on the stop gain of function research, a process now infamous over its alleged connections to the spread of COVID-19.

Can we stop saying alleged?

I mean, I know we don't have proof, but just because the fact that we don't have proof at this time, I think is proof.

I mean, we know where these things are.

We track down patient zero quite quickly.

It's been, what, two years,

almost three years?

We know.

Anyway, Republican

Kansas Senator Roger Marshall put forth both the Viral Gain of Function Research Moratorium Act and the Safe Risk Research Act, which aimed to cut funding to universities conducting such research and foreign countries to do so as well.

Gain of function is a process by which researchers genetically modify a virus.

It has potential risk as an enhanced virus, could potentially become a significant threat to humanity.

Let me just point out a little documentary in book form

called The Stand by Stephen King.

It is disturbing that one of our top public health agencies directed this risky research to be offshored while encouraging the pause in the exact same research in the U.S., said Marshall on the floor of the Senate just this week.

Despite warnings and past lab accidents, our public health agencies, like the NIH, continue to fund WMD research, often in China, nonetheless.

Shockingly, Congress has minimal insight to the amount of this research at NIH.

There is no transparency into their risk evaluation process.

This is a national security issue.

We must pause this research until national security experts can help create appropriate risk metrics, guardrails, and processes for this research.

Now, why would the Democrats

want to

ban this and not pass this?

It's a bill to stop something that they have claimed isn't happening.

They've claimed we...

Fauci said a million times we're not doing it.

So

if we're really not doing it,

then what's the problem with passing this bill?

I'm just

asking.

I mean, you want to pass a bill and it says,

you know, for every blonde hair Glenn Beck grows on his head,

and it starts moving forward to his forehead,

we're going to give him a million dollars or we're going to execute him.

Either way, it's not going to make a difference if we sign it or not.

Okay?

I'm not going to be affected by that one way or another because it's not happening.

Hmm.

We'll get back to you on that.

British veteran Darren Brady said Hampshire police over in England were impeding his right to free speech by tracking him down for reposting a meme featuring the LGBTQI pride flag arranged in the shape of a swastika.

In viral footage, the arrests taken by police activist Lawrence Fox, who created the meme, officers tell the 51-year-old at his residence that someone has caused anxiety based on your social media post.

Wait, they were anxious because of that?

I mean, it was like real anxiety because of the post?

Wow, did they throw him in jail?

You darn right.

That's why he was arrested.

He was creating anxiety in some members of the people that happened to be on social media and saw that.

Now, here in America, that would be political speech.

Of course, I could talk about a football game now, and it would be classified as political speech.

But for sure, that kind of speech is protected.

For sure.

You can't say fire in a crowded theater.

I don't know.

I've been in a lot of crowded theaters my whole career, and I've I've set fire several times from the stage.

But anyway, that's a different story.

Protected speech surely is the kind of speech that would include offensive political speech or cartoons.

Him taking a pride flag and arranging it in the shape of a swastika

actually is

quite on point for a lot of people.

They would say, yeah, it's a, well, it's actually a gay mafia, is is I think what my friends who are liberals in California call it, the gay, the gay mafia, that you don't speak out against these people.

And when I say these people, I mean those people who are militant,

militant LGBTQ2I plus people.

Every time I say that, I just I'm not gonna make it any worse.

So

BlackRock

has partnered now with Coinbase to offer crypto for institutional investors.

Stu, what is

what, what exactly is

Bitcoin out right now?

Do you know?

I want to say it's 23,000, 24,000, something like that.

And people are saying it's going to go down to 16.

And why did people say it was going to go down to 16?

Because it has no future.

Well, here's BlackRock.

Now, Coinbase, wasn't Coinbase, didn't they just lose a lot of shares recently, a lot of money

in Coinbase?

Because...

Go ahead.

Well, I mean, every crypto company has had a pretty rough go of it lately when

it was at 50,000.

It was certainly a lot easier, I think, to do business.

But it has bounced off of its lows for sure.

But if I'm not mistaken, the government came out about Coinbase here recently and said they were doing something.

I don't remember.

Coinbase is fighting very, very angrily with the government at the moment.

They've gone back and forth many times as, of course, the government has not provided any guidance to any crypto company as to how they're supposed to handle certain transactions, certain tokens.

It has been a non-stop, government-caused

source of angst for every crypto company, and Coinbase has not been exempt from that.

In fact, they seem to be the target of it more than anything else.

Yeah, that weird.

So why would BlackRock

just before the price plummets from $60,000 per coin,

BlackRock announces that they're going to open it up for institutional investors?

They're going to start saying, hey, if you want to put your money into Bitcoin, put it in with us.

And, you know, we'll have a very loud seat at the table.

They seem smarter than putting all of that money into a cryptocurrency when cryptocurrency is collapsing.

And then for them to partner with Coinbase, as it's having real problems

because just of Bitcoin going down,

but also because they're having problems with the government.

Wow, it is such a coincidence that BlackRock gets into bed with them and BlackRock, you know, opens up

for investors and they finally say, We're going to get in the crypto world.

And then the whole thing crashes.

And oh my gosh.

And think of this.

And then that impoverishes all of those people that had any money in crypto because a lot of people, young people especially, have taken their money and put it into Bitcoin.

And now it's not worth as much.

And I wonder if there'll be any buyers.

No, there will be buyers.

It'll be Black Rock.

Huh.

Boy, that's strange.

I haven't figured out what could be going on there.

Let me give you some good news.

Give you some good news.

Do you remember?

Let's start in California

in Texas.

We really appreciate appreciate Californians.

We love them.

We would like them to move someplace else, but we love them.

And we think kind of Californians a little bit like Cubans that are still hanging out in Cuba and could get away, but it's like, oh, I don't know, I have such a sense of loyalty to Cuba.

But in California,

we've made difference.

We've made a big difference.

During the pandemic, we

interviewed Dave Folds.

I don't know if you remember him from the crony sports bar and grill in Agora Hills.

His restaurant was being punished by the government for defying those COVID lockdowns.

His company was being sued by the Los Angeles Health Department for operating without a health permit, which they took from him.

The city of Agora Hills operating without a business license because you need a health permit to get one, and their landlord for operating without proper permits and licensing.

This all stemmed from them defying the lockdowns.

They even had to meet with the city of Agora Hills at criminal court.

I want to give you an update.

They're still in business.

He wrote a staff member here recently of this program.

He said, the months we defied the orders and stayed open were the busiest months months in business and sales we ever had.

I don't know if

what would have happened if it wasn't for the supporters like Glenn and his staff and his audience.

We would have never been able to last and fight as hard as we did.

We're so grateful for the generous donations from your audience.

We've used the funds to pay for two attorneys, fines.

We donated

a number of

cash to like-minded organizations and businesses that really needed help as as well.

We will never regret that we took this stand.

I think it made a difference in helping getting business open sooner if we had not.

I just hope more businesses would have joined us in the fight.

I'll forever be grateful to Glenn and all of his listeners, but that's not all.

Do you remember

Shiva Raj?

They came on my show last year in March and told us that they had started a movement to recall the San Francisco School Board.

Do you remember this?

San Francisco schools were completely out of control.

The school board members prioritized their politics over their education, and they were more focused on renaming the schools than reopening them.

So parents, left, right, and center, came together to do something about it.

They recalled the school board in a landslide victory.

They won every neighborhood in San Francisco.

The mayor appointed three new school board members.

Two came from the list provided by their organization.

The day they won the recall, the city council tried to put the measure on the ballot to prevent future recalls.

But again, this group fought back and won.

Now, according to one of the ladies, Autumn, the board has shifted the culture, focusing on good governance and making sure kids can read.

She had this advice for listeners.

Don't let anybody tell you things are impossible.

Ordinary people can do extraordinary things.

That's the foundation of

our nation.

And, in the end, most of us want the same things: good schools, safe streets, garbage picked up on time.

We unified San Francisco, from Republican to Democrat to Green Party, by focusing relentlessly on the things we could agree on.

So let's talk with people on the other side.

I think we all have more in common than all of us think.
