You know, down in down in Texas, it's like a hundred degrees.
Up here
in the mountains in the mountain west, it was frost everywhere.
I don't know how to work the heat in this studio.
So it's about 30 degrees in here.
But we're having...
Possible blackouts coming our way in
Texas and around the country.
So they just say turn your heat up to
78.
If you do 78, that would be good.
And, you know, a little higher if, you know, if you can.
Oh.
Okay.
I like that.
Sure.

Got no room to compromise.
We gotta stand together, it's the corner survived.
Stand up straight and hold the line.
It's a new day of time to rise.
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment This is the Glenback program
Well, hello America climate change huh?
Am I right?
It's in triple digits in Texas, which almost never happens except for every summer
Up here in the mountains, where I am in the mountain west, it is this morning I had frost on the windows, which almost never happens.
Of course, last year at this time we did have snow.
Then it's raining in some places, and in the desert of Nevada, it's not raining.
You see what I'm saying?
It's out of control, completely out of control.
What we need to do do is get off all fossil fuels as fast as we can and learn to love the rolling blackout.
Because you know what?
It's like living in Space Mountain.
Life now is a roller coaster of fun.
You never know what's coming next.
Well, the program is coming next, and we begin on rolling blackouts and shortages in 60 seconds.
All right, let me tell you about Anna.
She wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.
She says, Relief Factor has given me my life back.
I'm glad to hear that, Anna.
I had a really, really bad problem with my back.
It led to horrible back pain.
I really had bad back pain.
It was keeping me from doing most things I wanted to do.
But ever since I started taking Relief Factor, I've gone back to all of those things because the pain is gone.
Thank you, Relief Factor.
As they they say, I'm a believer.
Anna, thank you for writing in.
I'm so happy to hear about your pain being lessened or gone.
It's happened to people all over the country.
So many people in this audience, thousands and thousands and thousands of them, have tried Relief Factor and have found relief.
The three-week quick start developed just for you is $19.95.
It's a dollar a day like a trial pack, and hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor.
70% of them go on to order more month after month.

Oh, so Stu,
how are things in the great state of Texas, you know, where gas and oil are plentiful?
Well, not so great, but still better than everywhere else.
So they're now saying that
we may have a few problems with the Texas power grid.
There is absolutely no excuse for Texas,
Texas, to have a problem with the power grid.
None.
Zero.
Zilch.
Power demand recently hit a record high in Texas amid a severe heat wave.
Stu, would you call this a severe heat wave or would you call this summer?
Yeah, I mean, it's my son is in the middle of a little league tournament, so I've spent a lot of time outside in the 104 and 105 degree weather.
It is hot, though we've certainly seen worse in Texas.
Yes, we have.
Demand for the power grid reached more than 75,000 megawatts on Sunday, surpassing a previous record of 74,820 megawatts, set in August 2019, according to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which runs the grid for more than 26 million customers who compromise about 90% of the state's electric load.
One megawatt can power roughly 200 homes in Texas during high demand and about 1,000 homes in normal weather conditions.
Soaring power usage, prompted by extreme weather, has triggered concerns over vulnerability of the state's grid system.
Following a deadly winter storm in February 2021 that left millions of residents without power for day, for days.
Now, Stu, help me out here.
2021,
that was
around the winter of 2021.
We're now in the summer of 2022.
In your, I mean, I know you're not a power expert, but in your mind, don't you think that's a problem that we could have fixed by now?
You'd hope so.
Certainly, that's what we were told was happening, is they were going to try to address these things so that they wouldn't happen again.
I mean, part of the problem with the power, I mean,
when I moved down here to Texas, when we started looking at houses down here, this is back in 2011, there was a period of over 100 consecutive days, or it was 40 consecutive days over 100 degrees or something like that.
I remember it being absolutely ridiculous for a really long period of time.
So the heat is not really the issue.
One of the issues is the fact that all these people from all these other states are moving here, which, you know, generally speaking, I welcome as people come and experience, I think, a positive experience overall.
But it is, you know, it's increasing the demand on the power grid all the time.
And that's not a surprise to Texas.
This has been happening for a really long time, and they need to be prepared for it, certainly.
So let me ask you a question.
If you believe in all this climate warming bullcrap,
and you believe that the, you know, the world's going to die in a fiery flood, and then we'll all be frozen to death because it's climate change.
It's not cooling or warming.
But you know that
you're absolutely positively convinced that fossil fuels have to be destroyed and the world's beaches are going to be gone in the next couple of years.
Okay.
And the time to change is right now and everybody's got to do their part.
Do you, A,
buy a beach house on an island?
That's the first question.
Okay, that's A.
Do you?
No, that's A.
I'm not going to be an option here, but I will say no.
If I believed that, I certainly would not do something like spend millions of dollars to buy a beach house.
Okay, you wouldn't do that.
No.
Okay.
If you believed that,
you know, at some point
you're rich enough
and
these greedy capitalists just don't need all these houses, all these places, and certainly all that square feet, would you buy a third house
in Martha's Vineyard, a giant mansion on the beach
on the island?
Certainly not.
That would be incredibly hypocritical if you were to do such a thing.
Right.
Well, not just hypocritical, stupid, wouldn't it?
I mean, you think that, you know, people are, and you're going to die.
Your whole family is going to die.
The whole house is going to be wiped out.
And it's all because he couldn't get a, well, I'm using just an example.
I'm not talking about anybody specifically.
But let's just say you were the president in 2008 and you were talking about a cap and trade system because you had to get rid of coal and gas and all of these fossil fuels, right?
And you knew that if you did that,
your prices for electricity would necessarily skyrocket, right?
So would you would you then just say, hey, this is a consequence of what we're doing, and we have to do it because my house is going to be under what my extraordinarily large, ostentatious house on Martha's Vineyard will soon be underwater.
So, we got to get off all of this electricity and everything generated by fossil fuels, correct?
Sure.
You'd be right there, right?
So, if you were right there, would you put in, would you request a 2,500 gallon commercial propane tank and have it buried in the sand like you're some sort of weird pirate?
But it's such a big propane tank that the city council says
We've never seen anything or anyone ask for a propane tank that size.
Would you think, would you be a little ashamed to maybe go to the city council and ask for that?
In this completely hypothetical example that you're citing,
I think that person would come off as incredibly hypocritical and almost it almost would seem as if they didn't believe a word they said and they had other motivations for hyping climate change for those years.
Right.
And when you thought of the people who this winter are going to be shivering because they can't afford natural gas or coal or whatever,
they can't afford anything, any electricity to heat or any oil or any gas to heat their home.
And you're sitting there in Nantucket having a lovely time on Christmas,
which, by the way, is a holiday.
that
is about individual salvation.
And you've been,
you know, you've been talking about collective salvation, which
has nothing to do with Christ, but you're sitting there by the Christmas tree celebrating Christ and his birth, which brought us individual forgiveness and salvation.
Do you think maybe you would feel a little less warm inside, even though you'd be toasty warm because you have the propane tank?
Hmm, yeah.
I mean, it seems like if you believed in collective salvation, these are the last types, you wouldn't want to do these things.
You'd want to make sure you gave away all your wealth and
went down those different roads, which doesn't seem like this hypothetical person is interested in.
Yeah, yeah.
You certainly wouldn't do it right now when everybody is struggling.
But hey, hey, I'm just making this up.
I don't know of anybody in Martha's Vineyard that has a big mansion that's right on the beach, who believes in global warming and believes we're running out of time, wanted to get a cap-and-trade system so your energy prices would necessarily skyrocket,
and then thinks that climate change is so important that we stop all natural gas, all coal, all fossil fuels, and is bearing the largest tank anyone in Martha's Vineyard has ever seen.
But I don't know anybody specifically who might be doing that.
Oh, and also it was former president.
But that's just a hypothetical situation.
The other thing, too, about the propane is like Martha's Vineyard is not exactly filled with people who
they're not all like Barack Obama, right?
They're not all public figures.
They're all wealthy for the most part, but they're not all public figures.
They're not all even liberal.
Many of them would have no qualms at all about building, you know, burying the largest propane tank they could possibly think they could ever need.
And the fact that Martha's Vineyard has never seen one the size of this is
quite the statement.
Pretty remarkable.
They do pretty much whatever they want.
Now, if I was buying.
Yeah, if I was buying a propane tank, let's say I was buying 10
propane tanks, and it's the largest that anyone has ever seen in the area, and I was burying them all over my farm.
In fact, I didn't have any dirt left it was pretty much planting wheat on top of propane tanks I wouldn't be a hypocrite and I'd feel good I'd go to bed at night thinking okay my family and really probably my neighbors after we after we make our tractors run on natural gas That's probably a good thing, probably a good thing.
But see, then I don't have the whole history of saying, oh my gosh, it's got to stop.
It's going to kill everybody.
Because I don't think it's going to kill everybody, at least nearly as fast as no air conditioning or no heat.
By the way, if you're in California or any place that is experiencing heat,
I want to remind you, I know it came as a complete surprise that there would be heat in the summer.
But they're now asking you to keep your temperature at 78, a comfortable 78.
So if you are Joe Biden,
you're set.
You're set because you like it about your age.
You know what I mean?
I go up to my wife's parents' house and it is 80 degrees, you know,
on a cool day.
It's 80 degrees in their house.
So everybody who's old, they're going to love it.
Everyone else is going to be like, what the hell is it?
Why are we suddenly living in India?

As of yesterday, the AAA
national average price for a gallon of regular, regular gasoline is now five dollars five dollar
one cent per gallon for regular
now the climate czar
john kerry
he is uh he is seeing no reason that we should be doing additional drilling you know or quote go back to coal when did we leave coal stu can you tell me that what we're now going back to coal
uh and joe Biden told us he hasn't done anything.
So
there might be a little confusion here.
And probably on Biden's part, because he's senile.
But
when did we get off coal, Stu?
Well, we're certainly not off of coal.
It has been decreasing pretty significantly since around the mid-2000s.
It has gone down quite a bit as a percentage of all U.S.
energy.
And it has fallen behind, you know, many of the
certainly natural gas and petroleum.
Yeah, but we
replaced it, right?
I mean, because it would be insane for a country to say like,
hey,
these grocery stores are great and we love them.
And the trucks that bring them in, you know, bring all the food 12 times a day to these grocery stores.
We have the greatest system, the greatest system in the world.
It would be insane to say, but I'd like to reimagine the grocery store system.
So I'm going to build other grocery centers.
Not quite sure if it's going to work.
A lot of people say it's way early to do that, but I'm going to close down all of our grocery stores and accelerate this process.
of reimagining how groceries are sold in America.
That would be insane.
So
we have more than enough to replace it with, right?
Well, Glenn, the good thing is, you know, there were years in the past where 80%
of our energy came from fossil fuels.
And obviously, we've invested a ton in renewables over the years.
And now we're at the point where we've made real progress.
And now 80%
of our energy comes from fossil fuels.
Which
wow, we've made a real impact.
Yeah, I mean, it's yeah, it's still, I mean, it's 80% still, but that's not, you know, now it's a different kind of fossil fuel, and that actually has made the difference when it comes to emissions.
And we've gone from coal to natural gas.
That's basically the change.
We've had some increase in renewables, almost no increase at all.
And no, we got to get rid of it.
We're going to make a real difference.
Natural gas.
Yeah, we've got to get rid of natural gas.
I mean, except for the pipeline going to Obama's beach house.
But if we can just get rid of Obama's ranch, I think, I mean, natural natural gas, I think we will be absolutely, we'll be absolutely fine.
Hey, by the way, another good idea.
The governor of Washington state, along with many of the people here in Idaho, are thinking about getting rid of the dams.
You know, the hydroelectric dams?
Seems to be the new target.
You're thinking about getting rid of them.
Yeah,
and you'll be happy to know
your power, your electricity is, you know, whatever.
Get over it, you fathead.
You've had enough days of ease, okay?
We're talking about salmon.
Can salmon really prosper if we have all these dams?
The answer, we all know.
I don't even need a study.
Nope.
Uh-uh.
They can't.
And are salmon.
Salmon are people too.
So if we just get rid of those hydroelectric dams on the Snake River, it's like, I don't know, four or five.
Who's counting?
But just tear them all down.
Washington, Idaho, Oregon, we are going to be swimming with the salmon.
And we can have never-ending salmon.
We can't catch it.
We can't catch it.
But we'll have never-ending salmon.

I want to talk to you about an experience I had last night
here in just a couple of towns down from my ranch.
I
gave a speech
on Flag Day.
It was amazing.
Every year, this town has a flag day ceremony, and people come to it.
There were about a thousand people, maybe about 800 people there yesterday.
And they did this really moving ceremony.
And then I walk out and I talk to them.
The first thing I said was, you have to know how unique you are.
I'm not sure how many towns across America are having a flag day
free.
Hey, everybody, come to the high school for the, I mean, it felt like I was in the music man for a while.
It was amazing.
But I, in talking to people before the event,
I really got the sense that people are changing and are very concerned because, well, let me just talk to the politicians.
Look,
more and more, it seems like there are two kinds of politicians, and there aren't.
There's a big, fat middle, but they're not doing much.
And it seems like your choice is the burn it down
group or the What Fire group.
If the What Fire group is afraid of the Burn It Down group, you haven't seen anything yet.
Because the left is wanting to burn it down.
They just do it wrapped in, you know, in crazy words that make you go, oh no, no, seriously, they just said they loved America.
The Burn It Down people love America many times, love America too, but they think burn it down, and that's the worst idea ever.
But unless you stop saying what fire and you actually see what's going on,
the burn it down people are going to win.
Because it's happening now in our small towns.
It is happening in red state America.
Yesterday,
I told you about
a county that is as red as they come.
And yet there is a prosecuting attorney that is changing things not only in his county, but also changing really, I mean, I talked to the sheriff up here and he was concerned, you know, I don't know how many counties away about this other sheriff,
you know, like two hours away.
He said, this guy is influential and he is changing the way law enforcement is happening.
The sheriff for Utah County,
one of the most conservative counties in the country, Mike Smith, is with us now.
Hello, Mike.
How are you?
Good morning.
How are you doing?
Well, I'm good.
I mean, I'm a little concerned because I think this, I'm using your county as an example of what's happening all across the country where you don't need Soros coming in and buying everything up.
Some Republicans are doing it themselves.
Tell me why Utah County, of all places, is beginning to look a lot like San Francisco.
Yeah, and that concerns me as well.
That's a really scary statement and sad statement for Utah County because that's not us.
And recently we've had a prosecutor take office who brings these ideals in that I agree with you.
They are Soros-based ideas.
They're failed.
programs that we've seen over and over again in large democratic cities that we you know they use them crime rates go up and some for some reason, our prosecutor believes that if he brings them here to Utah County, he's going to have a different result.
And he just isn't.
What is the feeling of the community right now as they see this going on?
You know, I can tell you
with law enforcement, it's demoralizing.
You know, our officers are out.
They're working hard for their community.
They are there for their citizens.
They love their communities.
They want to serve them.
They want to help them.
They work tirelessly to
bring crime and to
investigate these things.
And then they fall on the lap of the prosecutor and nothing happens.
And it's demoralizing.
And we see victims that are re-victimized through these programs.
As you look at
Utah County, and you look at the Republican Party, and we are very largely Republicans, you look at the Republican platform, and the platform itself says swift and certain punishments with just and appropriate penalties are essential deterrence to crime, and victim rights are always
superior to criminals' rights.
And we have a Utah County attorney who doesn't follow that platform yet.
He runs on it.
He is not a Republican.
We've seen over the past 20 years, from the 90s or the 30 years, I guess, from the 90s to the early pre-COVID 2020s, a real drop in violent crime.
But since at least the last couple of years, we've seen that totally reverse and it has gone up.
What is the cause about it, and what can we do to stop it?
You know,
there's a ton of things out there that you can say is the cause about it.
But to stop it, I think everybody needs to be engaged.
You know, as we look at law enforcement, you see this movement across the nation, and it really is a Soros movement, you know, that this all all cops are bad.
And we're seeing it here in Utah County.
We're seeing a county attorney who keeps, you know, pointing a finger at law enforcement saying they're the problem, demoralize law enforcement.
You know, there's a reason why they're doing that.
So for me, I look at the situation.
You look at our community and you've got
really a small number of law enforcement compared to the citizens that they're trying to serve.
And so for me, the answer is we're all on the same team here.
Let's work together as citizens.
Law enforcement, we are begging for you to be part of our team to help combat crime.
Sheriff, I really get
the impression that
the people are on your side and on the side of the cops.
But these activists, and you don't need
George Soros.
When you've got somebody like David Levitt,
you've got real problems because he's got a family name.
He's one of these guys, like in Texas, we have the bushes.
He's one of these guys with the name.
And so everybody's like, oh, I know that family, or I know those names.
And they're not paying attention to what he's doing.
And he's got a good shell game going on.
His press conferences, he says, oh, no,
we got rid of the special victims unit, which is on sex crimes and abuse and everything else, the really nasty stuff.
We got rid of that because we found an easier way to do it.
You see that what I have heard, you have never had cartel members in your county, and you have them now, and people aren't afraid because they're watching what he's doing in the office.
Is all that true?
It is.
You know, we look at the SVU unit, and he did dismantle it.
So the part of it that I guess is a little untrue is as a law enforcement, we still have an SVU unit.
You know, we're pressing forward.
We push out to our employees, our officers, you do your job.
Do your job, regardless of what David Levitt chooses to do, you do your job, and he can answer to the people for his inaction.
So, we push forward.
He's pulled his prosecutors out of it.
You know,
it's a model that's used across the nation.
It is a model that works.
And
pulled these prosecutors out.
It used to be when you had a sex crime they would from the minute this crime was reported and a prosecutor was involved all the way through the process so that when these came to court we didn't have a prosecutor who is opening up a folder and looking in the case for the first time you know five minutes before it goes to court and that's what we have now we have untrained prosecutors that he's put in these positions that
have a stack of of cases that they're looking at five minutes before court, and they're not involved in the case.
And so you get what you pay for in that scenario.
As far as cartels go.
Oh, go ahead.
Go ahead.
No, go ahead.
As far as cartels go, you know, we have had tough on crime with our major crimes task force.
We work hard.
And these cartels, you know, some people may get in their mind, oh, you know,
it's drug users.
You have to realize that cartels operate like Fortune 500 companies.
And if they're looking at their liabilities, their risks, all these things, okay, I'm looking at an area where, you know what, the risks are low.
So business is better here.
And so we move business here.
We've always been able to be really tough on them.
And we still are on the law enforcement side, but they're just not getting
prosecuted properly.
And so the risks are low and
they flow to where business is good and risks are low.
And that's what's happening
i i have heard and i don't know if this is true that on arrests some officers are being told that they kind of almost laugh and go like that's fine i'll be out soon i mean it's starting to sound like new york
yeah that that's happening and even worse than that we're having um you know especially when you talk drugs or other things our officers are arresting people they're resisting arrest they're assaulting our officers and then the county attorney won't prosecute on those crimes.
So if you assault a police officer,
there's no consequences.
And when
we ask, and this is the response we get.
Well, it will confuse the jury.
And our jaws, we're just, our jaws are dropped, and we're going, what are you talking about?
Somebody's selling crimes in our community.
An officer tries to arrest them.
They don't want to be arrested, so they fight the officer.
How is that confusing to tell a jury?
I don't know, but I have to tell you, this is, you know, I've made light of this, or I've brought this to light to the national audience because I think this is happening in our communities and people are not aware of it.
And you don't need George Soros when you have
these Republicans who...
I don't know what his deal is.
I just know he is not the Republican that he makes everybody believe he is.
I mean, the whole family has always been squishy,
but there's something really wrong here.
He is
taking felonies and pleading them down to misdemeanors.
This is going to create a New York City or a San Francisco or a Los Angeles kind of crime wave if it's allowed to continue.
Am I wrong?
No, you're not wrong.
And it's, it's, you know, when you when you talk about taking felonies and bringing them down to misdemeanors, you know, he'll put out this narrative that he's he's prosecuting the worst.
He doesn't do plea deals.
Well, he absolutely does.
He he is smoking mirrors.
He's doing plea deals before they ever hit the court.
He's he had one of his friend legislators run a bill.
It was HB 300 a couple years ago, gave the prosecutor the ability to drop these felonies down.
He does it continually.
And so
he's dealing them away before they ever get to court.
You know, he says he doesn't like plea dealing.
Is it true?
One more, I'm sorry to interrupt, but one more quick question here because I've only got about 60 seconds.
Is it true?
I saw a case where a grandfather was molesting his granddaughter, felony, and he decided to drop it down to a misdemeanor because he was concerned what that would do to the grandfather.
Is that true?
Did I read that case right?
No, you read it right, unfortunately.
That is true, and it's sad.
Oh, my gosh.
You know, I'll tell you:
what do you say about a prosecutor who, in a press release, makes a statement that the criminal justice system is the greatest threat to American freedom that we've seen in a generation?
What do you say about that?
He said that?
He said that.
And I don't
think that.
Yes, our criminal justice system isn't perfect, but
I'd put it up against any system in the world.
This is America.
And
I can't believe he would say something like that.
We're talking to Sheriff Mike Smith.
Thank you very much, Sheriff.
I appreciate your honesty on this.
I will tell you: look, you have to decide who to vote for, but I'm telling every city in America, you better look at what's going on in your town because it's coming disguised as a Republican.
And these states are starting to fall one by one because you're not paying attention to what's going on in your own.
And, you know, we like to believe that, oh, well, we can trust them.
You have to get the word out.
People are
not necessarily who you think they are.
And this prosecutor is
extraordinary, in my opinion, extraordinarily dangerous.
His name is David Levitt.
And the whole Levitt thing is, I mean,
all of these institutional families, enough is enough.
Enough is enough.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
We're glad that you're here.
We have the Supreme Court rulings coming up
a little later on in the program.
In fact,
they should be happening in just a few minutes.
We're not sure.
I mean, I think John Roberts is putting the court in danger by not releasing
the Roe versus Wade
verdict.
What are they going to do on that?
Release that.
You're putting everybody in danger.
But
many of the people in Congress didn't seem to care.
All Democrats that voted against the bill to send protection to our Supreme Court justices.
All that voted against that were Democrats.
What a surprise.
Let me tell you about Good Ranchers.
Getting hot outside.
Not up here in the mountains.
My cattle were in the frost last night,
but it is getting hotter here at the ranch because I'm about to fire up one of the grill and call the cows home.
Come on, pork chop.
Bring some of them in.
Anyway, Good Ranchers has

Got no room to compromise.
You gotta stand together, it's the core of surviving
straight and hold the line.
It's a new day of time to rise.
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenback program.
Hey, some really good news.
The US is quietly telling companies here in the US that
you can go ahead and buy that fertilizer you need from Russia,
but just keep it on a QT, okay?
So really good news and even more good news coming out of Russia on Ukraine.
When did we start losing?
When did Ukraine start?
When did that happen?
Now there's a shortage of bullets?
You couldn't buy enough bullets with $65 billion?
Really?
What's happening to the money?
But don't worry, Miami is on the beat now.
Miami, the city of Miami,
is giving a voluntary gun buyback program where you can turn in your high-powered assault rifle, which is about $1,500,
and they'll give you $250
for it.
And they're not going to melt them down.
They're sending them, yes, right to Ukraine.
So isn't that fantastic?
That makes as much sense as Richard Spencer, the head of the Nazis,
saying he's not a white supremacist anymore.
At least that's what he's saying on the dating app.
The world makes no sense.
We go there in 60 seconds.
Well Anna wrote in about her experience with Relief Factory.
She said,
Relief Factor has given me my life back.
I had really, really bad back pain, keeping me up from doing most of the things that I wanted to do, including sleep.
But ever since I started taking Relief Factor, I've gone back to all of the things that I've wanted to do and used to be able to do, and the pain is gone.
Thank you, Relief Factor.
Anna, I'm so glad that it worked for you.
It has worked for me.
I still take it three times a day, and it makes all the difference in the world.
Relief Factor is not a drug.
It's not gonna make you drowsy or anything else.
It was developed by doctors and has four key ingredients that work with your body to fight inflammation, which causes most of our pain.
The three-week quick start, developed just for you, is $19.95.
It's a dollar a day like a trial pack.
Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor and about 70% of them go on to order more.
It's relieffactor.com.
That's relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief.
Feel the difference.
So the Supreme Court is coming out with more decisions today,
and we have Kelly Shackelford on in an hour to give us the analysis of what is being released.
Stu, has anything been released yet?
Yes, first one is out.
It's the George versus McDonough.
Not a big named case.
It was a 6-3 decision written by Amy Coney Barrett.
It was about veterans' benefits, not a huge one that anyone was on the edge of their seat for, at least in the press.
The only real notable thing is Gorsuch and Kagan sort of flip-flopped as to how you might think they would vote in a case like this, where Kagan voted with
theoretically the conservative side and Gorsuch voted for on the liberals in this one with Sodomayor and Breyer.
But that's
Gorsuch's been mixing it up quite a bit.
He's been interesting in these early decisions, not always paired with the justices you'd assume.
But there definitely is at least one more.
And the way they release these things, you only know that.
When one comes out, you know there's going to be at least one more.
But unless they get more than one,
there's got to be more than two, I think, because
it's going to next week as well.
It's usually the end of the month.
I think we have about two weeks.
But it's, again, none of these are real rules.
So much of this is just sort of traditionally what they do.
So you're always guessing.
But there are 23 now remaining that we don't know
that they have not actually released yet.
Pat Cray joins us from Pat Cray Unleashed.
I think, Pat, what happened yesterday with the Supreme Court in
the House,
where you had many Democrats, I think 23 or 24 Democrats come out and vote against security for the Supreme Court's family and for the judges is absolutely despicable.
Just despicable.
And it's hard to understand why.
I mean, you've put them in peril here, and
you've encouraged the left extremists to show up their house, and then
you vote against their security.
I don't even understand it.
I don't know where that comes from.
I don't know how you justify that.
It's really, it is despicable.
I also think it's despicable of John Roberts.
I don't know why he's, I think he's putting them in danger by not releasing the one everybody's talking about.
Let's just rip the band-aid off.
Let's go.
But then again, his motive may be we want everybody out of town as that is read.
They usually leave the most controversial to the very end.
And if that's true, then the end of the month, we're going to hear about gun control
and abortion and prayer in school and all of that stuff.
Yeah, and didn't Mike Lee say on your show yesterday that he expects that to be at the end of the end of June or early July, even before we hear about the Roe v.
Wade situation?
Is that what he said yesterday?
I think he said end of June.
I think they have to do it by the end of June, I think.
I don't think they have to do it by then, but they almost always do.
That is basically the way I think it works.
They don't have to be done by the end of June, but they should be done by the end of June.
I think they want to be so that the violence can begin in July.
Yeah.
I think that's
what we're looking for.
Yeah.
The burning and the and the threats and the violence begins in early July.
You want it in time for funding.
And I think this is the time that you really kind of want that kind of stuff going on.
I mean, you know, you've got a very hot summer coming our way and rolling blackouts plus the highest gas prices the country has ever seen.
Food prices are skyrocketing.
I don't see any tension at all.
I mean, almost done.
I mean, when you just, when you say to people, hey, turn off your air conditioning or you just turn it off because there's no power,
they're going to love that.
They're going to love that.
We do have another ruling out here, Glenn.
Everyone on the edge.
of their seat for the big
American Hospital Association versus Becerra
is the case.
Yeah, a lot of people were interested about that.
A 9-0 ruling, unanimous, written by Kavanaugh.
Basically, it had to do with Medicare reimbursement rates.
And, you know, can Becerra just say, hey, this is what I want to charge these hospitals without actually doing any of the research behind
what makes up their cost basis?
Essentially, like, can he just on his own sort of determine what the reimbursement rate is for various hospitals without actually doing any research whatsoever as to how much these services cost the hospital.
And they said, no, you need to look into that a little more.
Well, why would that be any different than what the administration does on gas, oil, and
electricity?
I mean, they're not.
They don't seem to be doing their homework.
Did you read the story yesterday where
the White House officials went to
try to tell the people who take shale and make it into oil, hey, can you guys do anything?
And they're like,
no.
It's not like we have just, it's not like shale is a sponge and all we have to do is
get a bunch of migrant workers to squeeze the sponges and get the oil out.
No, it will take us a few years.
And apparently they were shocked.
Yeah, that's how little they know about the process that is involved in extracting oil from shale.
It's a complicated process that's kind of high-tech and it takes a lot of heat and energy and a lot of time and money.
And it's not even worth doing unless, of course, it's worth doing at this price at $120 per barrel.
But
yeah, it takes, there's a time investment involved and it's more than two months.
And yeah, apparently they were quite shocked by that.
So I just, now normally I don't read Jezebel,
but
Stu apparently does
report.
It was reported by several other sources who did link to the source material, which did happen to be Jezebel.
So I sent you the source material because I know how important that is to you.
All right, okay, yeah.
So the source is Jezebel, a name we have all grown to trust.
So
this is the article.
Listen to this.
I wasn't expecting to have a borderline introspective conversation with white supremacist leader Richard Spencer.
You know, do you think white supremacist goes far enough for Richard Spencer?
No.
Yeah, he's a bunch of things, I would say, and white supremacist.
A Nazi would.
Yeah, yeah.
But Jezebel,
but a Jezebel reader spotted him on the dating app Bumble in the Dallas, Texas area and sent me a few screenshots of his profile.
So I found the guy's number and reached out for a comment.
Is this really you?
Are you really politically moderate?
That's what he's claiming on his profile.
Because that's what he said.
Yeah.
So his profile says just Richard, 44,
6'1, active.
He's a Taurus, graduate degree,
socially active, doesn't smoke,
I guess looking for a relationship.
He's spiritual.
He is a political moderate, and he's vaccinated.
His interest writing, skiing, thriller, philosophy, electronic music.
I mean,
I think this sounds great, but
I think you might be surprised if you dated him that he's left a a few important things out.
Yeah,
it would be kind of a shock if you dated him and asked him about his history and then realized he was the guy getting punched in the face at rallies and advocating for a white nationalism that maybe is not exactly clear in his dating profile.
Has he actually changed his mind in these?
Yeah, he has?
Yeah.
Well, at least that's what he's claiming.
Do you have the text there, right, Glev?
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, it's a little different.
I mean, remember,
he's the guy who said Jews will not replace us.
You know, that's a big one.
So they got the phone number and asked him if this was his bumble profile.
And he said, yes, that is I.
I appreciate you respecting my privacy.
This is obviously not newsworthy.
I'm simply living my life.
Okay, that would be a fair point if the dater in question were literally not a white supremacist leader accused of physically abusing his ex-wife and masquerading at random as a moderate and a skier who's into electronic music on Bumble.
So
I said,
you think maybe you're being a little deceptive.
And he said, well, I'm not a white supremacist leader anymore.
Oh, so he didn't say he wasn't a white supremacist.
He said he wasn't a white supremacist.
Read the whole thing.
Don't seek your,
you wanted the source material and you're not reading the full Jezebel text threat.
I don't understand what your problem is here.
All right, okay, all right.
He says
the entire right-wing movement generally hates me.
The feeling is mutual.
On basic issues, I'm pretty much a liberal.
Gun control, abortion,
I don't lie or deceive anyone.
all qualities that were very, very much in style with Adolf Hitler and his group.
She said, I didn't realize that.
Are you still a white nationalist?
The notion of listing my politics as conservative makes me cringe.
It's complicated, but I'm not a white nationalist.
So maybe he doesn't believe in the country anymore?
I don't know.
I think you're reading,
I don't know if his racial beliefs have changed per se, but honestly, when he said, because I had the same suspicion, Glenn, when he said, look, I'm pretty much a liberal on gun control and abortion.
That's always been the case.
It's always been the case.
People
love to overlook this, but the alt-right, which has always been an alternative to the right, not an alternative version of the right,
has...
big government.
It is obviously gun control.
I mean, of course you're going to control guns
if you're a Nazi group.
Pro-abortion.
Pro-abortion have always been pro-abortion.
They love the fact that people are choosing abortion, particularly as you might expect, black and Hispanic families choosing that so often when it comes to
proportional levels, that they love that.
And that's a wonderful thing for white supremacists.
They support it constantly.
They support all sorts of big government programs, including universal health care, by the way, as well.
They want government control, as you might expect from someone who likes these sorts of ideas.
Yeah, and somebody who's a Nazi, a National Socialist.
Yeah,
that is what you would expect.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's exactly what Hitler wanted to do.
He wasn't a conservative saying small government.
A small government couldn't have built the ovens.
Okay.
I mean, I just want to point that one out.
Let me come back to this here in just a second.
The Tuttle Twins books.
The time is running out on a really good deal.
I want you to take advantage of it before it's too late.
I've been telling you about the book, The Tuttle Twins,
and their amazing show business.
I want you to have this book for your kids or your grandkids or your neighbor kids or whoever you have that might be coming to your house or you going to them.
The publishers of the Tuttle Twins

After that, you're going to have to pay the full price.
So, get this book for your kids and your grandkids now.
You won't regret it, and neither will they.

You and your kids need to read this book, The Tuttle Twins and Their Spectacular Show Biz.
You'll get it for free, just pay for shipping.
TuttleTwinsbeck.com.
That's TuttleTwinsbeck.com.
You can get this book, their spectacular show business, at tuttletwinsbeck.com.
Now until Friday, back in 10 seconds.
So, can you imagine?
Go ahead, Stu.
I'm just going to tell you, we have another ruling out, another one that maybe was not on the top of your newsfeed, Pueblo versus Texas, a 5-4 decision
about basically gaming on Native American lands.
Oh, yeah, it's a hot one.
Yeah, but I will say, again, bizarre bizarre pairings here.
This is a 5-4 decision, which is the three liberals plus Gorsuch plus Amy Coney Barrett.
Wow.
Then the four being
Roberts and the other conservatives.
Strange pairings in almost all of these cases, honestly.
But
again, the indication is there's at least one more coming.
So we are down to 21 cases remaining with the Supreme Court, but at least one more coming here in just minutes.
I will tell you, I'm actually,
I kind of like the fact that they switch it up and you can't predict as long as Amy Coney Barrett is doing it on constitutional grounds.
You know, that's the thing that people misunderstand.
When you put a constitutionalist in, you can't guarantee that it's coming your way.
In fact,
the Constitution cuts both ways.
Sometimes
you'll love the answer, other times you won't.
But when it comes to the Constitution, either way, you abide by it.
And that's what's made our country so strong:
we believed in the Constitution.
And if you have your judiciary that is ruling based on the Constitution, sometimes you're going to win, sometimes you're going to lose.
But I'm interested in reading, and Kelly Shackelford's coming up in just about
half an hour.
You know, as I look back,
these gas prices, we are up now over 501
per gallon for regular gasoline.
Now, I remember when George Bush was in office and, you know, we were fighting that war for Halliburton and all of the free oil that we were going to get.
And I remember the outrage of like $2.75 a gallon.
Do you remember that?
Oh, yeah.
Everybody was outraged.
And it was nonce.
That's all anybody talked about.
We're at $5 a gallon and I am not hearing this except from friends.
I don't hear the news, the news cycle going off on this.
Am I just not watching it?
No,
I don't think it's as big as it should be.
You know, when you pay $120 to fill up your tank, as I just did yesterday,
there should be a lot because that's completely unsustainable.
You can't keep doing that.
There's no way.
Yeah.
No way.
You know, I was thinking, Pat, about how, you know, going back in the day, as we've done these shows over the years, when we would compare and contrast America and Europe, one of the things we would always bring up is like, I mean, they're paying $5 a gallon for gas in Europe.
Isn't that crazy?
That was our like crazy example of how bad things can get.
And here we are at 501 nationwide.
And I will tell you, I think we are closing in on diesel for trucks.
I think
we're about to beat parts of Europe and have higher prices than they even do.
It's a little terrifying.

how are you going to afford anything?
It's only getting worse as the rates keep rising, and it looks like they may rise again today.
The Fed is supposed to come out with several things.
We're going to get into that here in a second, but it's not going to be good for your savings or for your bottom line.
There's no pressure or obligation.
American Financing never charges upfront or hidden fees.

We have at least five Supreme Court rulings coming out.
Kelly Shackelford is going to be joining us from First Liberty coming up in just a minute.
He'll tell us what all of these mean and how much they will affect us in our lives.
Do you ever remember a time like this, Stu, where
you felt such an impact from the Supreme Court on more than one case?
Geez,
you know, the Obamacare one pops to mind as a big one that we followed so closely for such a long time.
This one, though, because it's Roe versus World War II.
So that was one case.
Yeah,
this is the sort of marquee of the entire Supreme Court, right?
It's the focus of every single time the Senate looks at a a nominee.
They're always focused on whether they're going to be for or against Roe versus Wade.
That one obviously being there, but there's several other cases, as you mentioned.
The one about guns is a big one in New York.
The case about
the government's right to regulate
power plants is a massive one when it comes to global warming and how much
you're going to be paying for electricity.
We have the prayer on the fuel one was another big one on religious liberty.
Go ahead.
Right.
Do you think I'm overstating or overreading the impact?
We should ask Kelly this next hour.
Of the EPA one.
This seems like almost
an end run where the Commerce Clause that was decided during the FDR administration was an end run around the constitutional powers that gave the federal government access to everything in our life.
This kind of seems like an end run around that decision, in a way, doesn't it?
Possibly, yeah.
That could be the way this plays out.
You know, and I think
the court
is more of a focus on our lives than I think the founders really intended.
You know, I don't think that they wanted it.
Oh, yeah.
But I mean, it has become the backstop against all sorts of abuses by our government.
I mean, you know, the courts as a whole have been the only thing stopping this administration from doing all sorts of crazy things, from requiring vaccines
to,
you know, gosh,
we could probably name five or six cases just over the past six months that have been pushed, they've been stopped from doing things,
you know, when it comes to immigration is another one, where they would just, they would say in the argument, we can't do it ourselves.
We need congressional support.
And then Congress would say, yeah, we're not going to do that.
And they'd say, okay, we'll do it ourselves.
And luckily, the courts have been there to stop it over and over again.
They're not perfect, but right now they seem to be the only people in our constitutional framework who care about the Constitution.
Well, they will get around the Constitution eventually.
I think they're going to declare a national emergency, a climate emergency, or a banking emergency, or an energy shortage emergency.
One way or another, emergencies are coming.
And that's how you really make an end run around Congress and the Supreme Court.
Let me give you this story from CNBC.
Raising children is expensive in the United States, and families are feeling the pressure.
More than 12.5 million children in the U.S.
live in poverty.
Even middle-class families are increasingly struggling to pay for everyday expenses.
Yeah, why is that?
The U.S.
Department of Agriculture has
published a report using 2015 data that estimated expenses of child rearing from birth through the age 17 in a middle-income family of two adults and two children.
It is 233,610.
With inflation, that means it's 286,000 in 2022.
But adjusting for inflation, they say, may not be enough.
Child care costs have actually outpaced inflation.
In 2020, childcare expenses rose 5.03% year after year compared to the annual inflation rate of just 1.2 at the time.
The fact that is sending an infant to daycare in many places across the country could be significantly more expensive than in-state public tuition to send them to college.
The United States has been very reluctant, very conservative when it comes to these kinds of family policies.
One of the issues with child care is the U.S.
isn't or is a patchwork system.
We have programs that fully subsidize eligible children.
We have tax credits that subsidize a portion of child care costs for higher-income families.
We also have block grants for states to help them expand access.
The problem with all these systems is that with this multitude of approaches, we're just not getting close to anything universal or affordable.
Okay, so here's CNBC saying, really,
we need pre-K money.
We need more money, and we can't solve this problem state by state.
It has to be solved at the federal government.
Again, another crisis the government can take care of.
Well,
I don't know about you, but
I get a little tired of working for everybody else.
I pay my fair share.
I pay more than my fair share.
And I usually, you know, I've never had a problem paying my taxes because I love the country and I'm willing to help others.
I just think that helping others is not doing gender studies.
I think helping others is not enforcing
the idea that our public schools have to have open bathrooms with all of our kids and hide information from us parents.
No, sorry.
At what point do you start saying, I'm not really being represented here?
Well, you can't because we have representation.
You vote for your representative.
That's one of the problems with us
is
we'll hire somebody, but they'll do the exact opposite, usually.
Now, there is a great article in the Federalist about the student loan bailout.
Because we saved and behaved responsibly, President Joe Biden will punish us.
Nor
is his plan fair to those who don't go to college.
We put five children through college, one still attending.
We saved up.
We never took out any loans.
We didn't want our kids burdened with debt.
Our kids went to William and Mary, Mary Washington, Dartmouth, John Hopkins, and the University of Pennsylvania.
So far, the total cost of these colleges has been well more than $600,000.
$600,000.
Well, last week, Biden forced taxpayers to assume nearly $6 billion in federal student loans
for 560,000 borrowers.
News stories announced the decision on forcing taxpayers to pay off the loan for others, and it appears delayed until closer to the election.
While some debt is likely to be paid off by taxpayers, Democrats will probably keep their other borrowers locked in politically by continuing to freeze repayments and warning that Republicans will end this.
Should my wife and I have just borrowed all of this money and sent our kids to public universities?
If so, we could have had $600,000 to spend on all sorts of other things, nicer cars, houses, fun trips, or we could have given that money to our children and grandchildren when we die.
To save, to pay for a family's college bills, we always purchased used cars and, you know, and we were a year old when
we drove them for years.
My Ford Tauro lasted 16 years, more than 225,000 miles.
My Pontiac Transport for my wife lasted almost as long before Russ meant that it could no longer pass the state's yearly safety check.
So because we saved up and behaved responsibly, President Biden is going to punish us, those who didn't save or work 90, 80 hour weeks, who spent their money on other nice things instead.
Now we are paying off and picking up their tab for their kids' education.
How exactly is that fair?
Nor is it fair to those who don't go to college.
This is a great article that you really need to read at the Federalist, but I think this is the way a lot of people are going to start to feel.
As we have shortages ourselves and shortages of money
how are people going to deal with the process that we are sending welfare checks uh and we're selling or sending food stamps down to the border
when we have hungry people here
by the way the direct impact
of the the Fed is going to be felt again today.
They are are raising the rates of interest.
So, anything connected to the interest rates, that's credit cards, adjustable rate mortgages, or
fixed-rate mortgages that you haven't secured yet, all of this will change
today and could change directly.
They're trying to cool the economy, which means they're trying to get you to stop buying stuff.
And it's pulling us into a recession if business investing and consumer spending is slowed too much.
But they're going to get it right this time.
So what it's going to do is it's going to make borrowing more expensive for companies, higher costs of capital.
The valuation in the stock market is going to get compressed.
We've already seen a lot of that happening right now, but this will be increased drag on your 401k or anything that you have that's a retirement fund.
And the problem is, is that we're going up three quarters of a percent.
Stu, how much was it for each point
just on the federal budget's borrowing?
Yeah, as rates tick up.
Do you remember?
Yeah, it's one, each percentage point costs us another $400 billion per year, which is the equivalent of adding a new Defense Department every year.
Oh my gosh.
By adding a point?
One point.
And it's something like $4 trillion over a decade.
And it gets to a point where just the interest
on our national debt becomes the focus of our entire budget eventually.
I mean, we're not that far away from this becoming really a society that just repays debt rather than actually does things.
All right, back in just a minute.

Welcome to the program.
We have Kelly Shackelford coming up in just a second.
He's going to give us a rundown.
We have, what, now, six Supreme Court decisions?
Six decisions, which is a very high number.
Yeah.
I'm wondering if they're just blowing through a lot of these this week.
Can they do maybe
six more?
That would bring us up to what?
So right now there's 15 remaining
as of now, and this is the last one of the day.
So we're going to get six.
None of the super high-profile cases are involved in that.
A couple of
a 9-0 decision, another one that was essentially 8-1,
but nothing super sexy.
There is one here about immigration,
which is just coming out right now.
And it was about a Trump expansion of a definition of certain types of illegal immigrants, basically trying to say more people would be blocked from getting green cards because they had
they were sort of likely to depend too much on government services.
As you might expect, Trump expanded the definition of that to try to make sure that people wouldn't be doing that.
The Biden administration's pushed back on that.
There's a battle between Arizona and San Francisco
basically on that.
A bunch of other states joined that lawsuit as well.
So that one's just coming down now.
But again, none of the big
ticket cases today.
It's not a huge surprise.
Again, typically they save these things till the end, which is in the next couple of weeks.
And as you may know, this is the show to listen to during because it always happens right in the middle of the show.
So, as these rulings break, we will have them for you as they happen.
And we'll have the explanation on why or if we should care about any of these.
Will they impact any of our lives coming up in just about 10 minutes from now?
So, you don't want to miss that with Kelly Shackelford from First Liberty.
We have the gun case, we have the God case, God in schools, we have Roe versus Wade,
and we also have a border question, correct?
Yeah, there's one on the Remain in Mexico case, a rule, I guess, that Trump implemented when he was president.
There's been a big, obviously, a lot of people on the left don't like that all that much, so there's a case going up for that one as well.
I mean, there really are big, you mentioned this earlier, Glenn, cases that are, all of them could be weeks of shows, right?
Like Like they're all really important and really high-profile and somewhat divisive.
So, I mean, the Roe versus Way One obviously is the marquee of all of these, but there's a bunch of big ones, and we're going to have them here in the next couple of weeks.
Yeah, the border, the EPA,
being able to just control everybody's lives and the lives of energy producers,
all of these things that are coming out,
if they come out on the same day, it's going to be quite a remarkable day in America, especially if they all go towards the conservatives and the Constitution.
By the way, have you seen the
article in Sports Illustrated on
the football coach, Kennedy, Coach Kennedy in Seattle that's up at the Supreme Court?
I love this.
When faith and football teamed up against American democracy.
Okay, well, we're not a democracy.
We're a republic.
And with a republic, we have rules, and those are constitutional.
And
they say the expected result in the Supreme Court is a win for the coach and the further erosion of the separation between church and state.
You know, S.I.,
when you can show me where
the separation of church and state is in any federal law, just
call me.
Call me.
Why don't you do sports?
I'll stay out of sports because I obviously don't know my ass from an elbow,
just like you don't know anything about the Constitution.
Got no room to compromise.
You gotta stand together, it's the core of surviving.
Stand up straight and hold the line.
It's a new day of time to rise.
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenback program.
Hello, America, and welcome to Wednesday.
Big, big television show on tonight to show you the 14-point plan to destroy America that is being implemented right now.
Started under Obama, it is being finished now under
Joe Biden.
We'll give you all of that tonight.
You don't want to miss this program.
Now, coming up in just a second, Kelly Shackelford is joining us.

This is a constitutional powerhouse that is argued case after case after case in front of the Supreme Court.

And we go to Kelly Shackelford in 60 seconds.

Kelly Shackelford, a very good friend of the program and now a powerhouse to be reckoned with.
With the organization he's the CEO of, First Liberty Institute.
He is chief counsel of First Liberty Institute as well.
Kelly, welcome to the program.
Happy to be on, Glenn.
Thank you.
So you've been watching these roll out from the Supreme Court.
We had a surprisingly high number today.
We had six different cases.
Can you tell me which are the important ones and which actually will affect us?
Well, I think for your audience, I doubt very many of them would be of any interest.
I think that this is a weird time, Glenn.
We've got,
you know, a record number, if you look over the past few weeks, that have been not issued.
I mean, there's only sixty five cases this term, and we were we were at like 29 or something just a week or so ago, which is I don't think it's happened since maybe 1950.
So but we're getting closer.
We're now down to, I think, 17 or 18, but but all the big ones are left.
The Dobbs case, the Second Amendment case, the border case, the Remain in Mexico, the two big religious liberty cases, which are both our cases at First Liberty.
We're waiting for all these big cases, and it looks like they're just going to maybe unleash them all in a very short amount of time close to each other.
But
we'll wait until next week and see what happens next week.
So what are the two big religious
decisions that are coming?
I know Coach Kennedy.
That's one of them.
What's the other one?
The other one is a case out of Maine where they had a school choice program where parents could pick any
school that they wanted for their kids as long as it wasn't religious.
And so it was just pure discrimination against all the religious schools.
And I think we're going to win.
I mean, the argument went well, but this will be a really big case because it'll make clear nationwide that when you have school choice, which we really should have,
that you can't exclude the religious schools.
You guys compete against them like everybody else, and people are going to pick the best education for their children.
And so I think that'll be a really big case.
It's sort of almost the final nail in the coffin on these attempts to discriminate in school choice.
And the only step left really will be to get school choice where parents choose.
You know, it shouldn't be just rich people get to choose their schools.
Everybody should be able to choose what's right for their kid if it's their tax money.
And quite honestly, why should I have to pay two tuitions?
I mean, I'm willing to do it to help the kids
whose parents don't have any money, but this should all be choice.
And I think those public schools would go out of business quickly.
I was in front of an audience
last night.
I gave a speech, and I was asking the audience some pretty basic questions about America, American history.
And I don't know, I think I said three times from the stage last night, wow, our school system has greatly failed us on these things.
Nobody would raise their hand on a couple of questions that I thought were fairly easy.
Yeah,
it's really, I mean, and look, not only are they failing in that way, right?
But they're also failing in what they're trying to indoctrinate, you know, third graders and second graders, stuff that parents are just appalled by, and we are all appalled by.
So
as you said, a number of these schools go out of business.
I think a number of those schools would actually have to
start acting like they're in that community
and they're actually having to be better and they're actually having to be good and they're actually having to represent the morals and values of their community and not some sort of woke, crazy stuff that they're putting in elementary schools.
So I think it would be great in lots of ways.
And it's fascinating to me, Glenn, it's one of those issues that...
You know, Republicans are heavily in favor of school choice, but so are Democrats.
I mean, you know, African-American, Hispanic, I mean, these are large percentages, and yet they can't get it through because the teachers' union has such a lock that they're not voting for something that is very important to most of their people.
And so I think that's part of why you see sort of this really fracturing of a lot of things that we had kind of counted on.
I mean, there was a district yesterday in Texas that's 84% Hispanic that just had an election for Congress.
They elected a Republican.
You would never see that in the past.
But, you know, they're voting their values.
And so some of these things are changing.
But that case I think will be really big.
It's called Carson versus Macon.
And of course, the Coach Kennedy case is a huge case.
I just think we've dealt with for 50 years a lot of these bad old decisions that have created this sort of hostility to religion in our schools.
And it shouldn't be that way.
The founders never meant it to be that way.
They believed in free speech.
They believed in the free exercise of religion.
And that should be what the law is.
And I think we're going to move back that way after Coach Kennedy comes down, but we'll have to wait and see what the opinion says.
You know, I got to tell you, if I had a coach who is a Muslim and he wanted to take his prayer rug out at the end of a football game and say a prayer, I wouldn't have a problem with that.
I'm obviously not a Muslim.
And, you know,
why does anybody have a problem with these things?
The Sports Illustrated has just come out with just an amazingly bad article.
When faith and football teamed up against American democracy, the U.S.
Supreme Court will decide the case of a football coach at a public high school who was told he wasn't allowed to pray on the field in front of players.
The expected result is a win for the coach and the further erosion of the separation between church and state.
I don't know where they find that.
Kelly, do you?
I don't.
It was amazing, Glenn.
I've been doing this kind of work for 33 years, and this is the first time I can ever remember an article by the media being so ridiculous that it led to its own news story.
There were stories yesterday at Fox News, at Bright Bar, at all kinds of media because of the Twitter explosion that occurred when Sports Illustrated posted this story.
It was so ridiculous and so biased.
Everybody's like, okay, a coach praying by himself for 20 seconds is the end of democracy.
You know, number one, we're not a democracy.
You know, we're a republic, a constitutional republic.
And number two, separation of church and state.
You know, number one, those words aren't in the Constitution, but number two, please tell me where the institution of the church is in this.
Please tell me where the institution of the state is.
It's Coach Kennedy.
It's not the state.
I mean, this is really ridiculous and very,
you know, again, Sports Illustrated, as you said, should stick to sports and not try to get into woke politics and their sports.
This is the reason why they're losing so many people.
So
let me take it further.
As we look at Sports Illustrated and we see all of the errors there, that's one thing.
But I listened to the arguments.
I listened online through your website, and it was amazing.
To be able to listen to a Supreme Court hearing was incredible.
I've never done it before in its entirety live.
And
opposing side was claiming
it was nothing like
the facts of the story.
It was
all over the board.
I couldn't believe that they could get away with saying the things that they did without it being perjury.
Yeah, I think, I mean,
a lot of people don't know, but on the other side, and let me mention, Glenn, if people want to listen to it, it's still up at
our media website, which is firstlibertylive.com.
They can go listen to the argument.
It's unbelievable.
I think it's because what happened is the school district, instead of representing themselves, God is their attorneys, The Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which is an interest group with a pretty
extreme agenda.
They're all secular humanists.
They want to push religion out of society.
And these were their attorneys.
Well, they're not very experienced at the Supreme Court.
So I think they did something really foolish, which is you start trying to twist the facts.
I mean, there's a record.
So we could point to the record.
And if you remember, our counsel, Paul Clement, who's probably the number one guy at the Supreme Court,
at the end of his rebuttal, he just nailed fact after fact after fact in the record that they were trying to pervert.
Well, they can read the record.
So that doesn't work.
And so, what was happening, by the way, for your audience, if they wonder what we're talking about, is Coach only wanted to pray by himself.
He went by himself.
He just a 20-second prayer after the game to thank God for the privilege of coaching the young men that he coached.
And he got that from that movie, Facing the Giants, that he saw.
And he made that pledge.
And for seven, eight years, that's what he did until they told him to stop.
And at one point, midway through his years, some kids went and prayed with him too.
But as soon as the school said, hey, don't do that with the kids, he said, oh, that's fine.
That's not what I'm trying to do.
And he went back by himself.
And they ended up firing him because he wouldn't.
And he never, hey, hang on just a second.
He never ever invited them.
They asked him, and he said, it's a free country.
Do it, you know, do what you want.
So it wasn't like he was indoctrinating or pulling people in.
I think that's really important.
That's exactly right.
Yeah, he never did.
And they admitted that.
I mean, that was one of the things they admitted.
They admitted he never coerced anyone.
And yet
their new theory at the Supreme Court was to say, oh, no, this is all about Coach Kennedy wanting to pray with the kids.
And then my favorite was they put a picture in the brief.
And they argued this all the time, and the media messed this up all the time.
It was a picture of Coach on a knee after the game surrounded by all these players and they were saying, look, see, see all the players?
Well, what they didn't mention was that was after Coach was told, hey, you go to a knee again, you're going to be fired, even by yourself.
And he was like, look, I don't want to get the kids in trouble, so I'm going to wait until they're singing the fight song facing the audience because I don't want them with me.
So he went by himself.
But what was happening is the whole country was watching this, and he was down on his knee, and he felt people coming around him.
He was like, oh, no, the kids are coming around me.
When he opened his eyes, it was the other team, all the players, all the coaches.
And so, as I told the media, this wasn't about him playing with his players.
This was about in America, when the government comes and tries to shut down somebody's First Amendment rights, Americans rise up and say, you're going to have to run over me too.
And that's what was happening.
It had nothing to do with his players.
It was the other team.
If there's ever an American story,
let me take a quick one-minute break and come back to you.
We're talking to Kelly Shackelford from First Liberty
about what's happening in the Supreme Court.
I just want to take your temperature on what's happening with the security for the Supreme Court, the vote that happened in Congress yesterday, and

10 seconds, station ID.
Kelly, I read a story today, I think it was on the Federalist, that was excoriating John Roberts because,
in their words, by holding this
case,
they are,
or he is, putting the justices in jeopardy.
And
it's not safe.
I don't know if that's true or not.
It might be safer to hold everything and then just do all of the really controversial ones at the end and be on a plane when those things are coming out.
What are your thoughts on that?
Yeah, I had some of the same feelings.
I felt like they should push it out quickly
you know after that that leak I thought they should have gone to the justices and said hey finish up your opinions we're getting this out because the extra incentive of of somebody thinking they could be a hero if they killed somebody because the opinion is not is if it's not out, it's you know, you could literally change what the opinion could be if you took somebody off this earth.
So I thought that was dangerous, but at the same time, what you say is true too, which is, let's say they did come out with it, it might be rough for them to be here over the next few weeks issuing all these other opinions when their lives would be in danger then, maybe.
It would be more from revenge than to change the opinion at that point, but it's possible.
Is there any reason they don't just release all what's left now?
18, one day, just release them all.
They could.
And that's one of the theories is what they're doing, you know, you could go with one of two ways.
Either, you know, these more controversial decisions, there's more back and forth, there's more working on dissents and working on side opinions, you know, concurrences, et cetera.
And so it just takes longer.
But there's also the idea of sort of just waiting and issuing them as they're on their planes overseas to do their teaching rotations, which which they typically in the summer they'll go overseas, most of them, except for Thomas, who takes his RV around the country.
They go out of the country and they
teach and speak and do that.
And so they like to put the most controversial ones where by the time they come out, they're on a plane, they're gone.
And that might be one of the strategies.
One of the things we've talked about is the danger of court packing.
When these opinions come down, which I expect a good opinion on Dobbs, a good opinion on the Second Amendment,
I'm hopeful after both arguments in both the religious freedoms cases, I think they're going to be wins, but we'll have to wait and see.
The remaining Mexico, the border cases, I mean, I think we're going to get victory after victory.
I think the left's head is going to turn
around and around.
I think they're going to go crazy.
And I think they're going to push for court packing and all this.
And so maybe John Roberts thinks if you just issue them all at the same time, that would be better than just sort of week apart, week apart, week apart, where they just build up their frenzy.
I don't know.
But all I know is we're down to 18 cases and two weeks.
And
the first time we'll see another opinion would probably be next Tuesday because Monday is a federal holiday.
So we're coming down to the very end, and all the big decisions are still in their hands.
Kelly, thank you so much, and thank you for all the work that you guys do.
If you ever are looking to support a group,
a nonprofit, and really have your money make a difference, I would suggest you donate to First Liberty.
It's an outrageously good organization that is making changes that will last.

Our sponsor, this half hour, is Goldline.
I don't know if you've seen what's happening in the stock market, but it ain't pretty.
And the Fed today is supposed to raise maybe three quarters of a point.
That's not going to do great things for the stock market again.
How much money have you lost in your retirement?
Have you even been brave enough to look?
How much money have you lost if you had Bitcoin?
What is Bitcoin at today, Stu?
You know, I tried, I've been saying you've got to spread your money around in as many different places as you possibly can.
Gold is the only thing so far that I have that is holding its value.
Should be growing, but the government is doing all kinds of crazy things.
But it is, you'll at least have something in the end.

Tonight, my Wednesday night special on Blaze TV.
We've got some classic Beck for you.
You're not going to want to miss it, like
in the bad old days.
You can't miss any of these episodes because they tend to build off of one another.
A couple of weeks back, I showed you
the new global-based rules system and how the Biden administration was trying to give the WHO expediated authority where they could bypass our governmental authority.
Also during that show, I mentioned new rule changes that were being pushed by the SEC and how Bank of America had written a letter praising it.
Well, my research team, because they're overachievers, decided to look a little bit more into this and it led us to financial records.
Dark money group and organizations that are tied to the UN and the World Economic Forum, they are the ones pushing a reorganization of the financial system and the Biden administration is basically copying and pasting everything that they want.
We also found that some of this was attempted during the Obama administration, and the great reset has been in motion since at least Obama's first term, when Michelle Obama gave her speech in Puerto Rico.
Remember, she said, we're going to have to move into a different place and change our traditions and our language.
It was shocking and horrifying at the time, but hard to decipher what she actually meant other than the big overview.
We now know.
I'm going to show you tonight the catastrophic consequences for what they are at this moment trying to finish.
If you think food and gas and labor shortages are bad now,
wait until Biden finishes it all.
And he doesn't need Congress to do it.
Don't miss the Wednesday night special tonight at 9 p.m.
Eastern on Blaze TV.
You see Megan Kelly was talking about Fox News the other day where she was excoriating them for, I mean, what are they doing?
They're running, you know, positive,
you know, 12-year-old kid stories that had a sex change, and it's like, what is happening to Fox News?
The Blaze has never been more important.
Tonight, the pathway to servitude, the traitors who created the global supply crisis.
Also, just want to let you know that President Biden,
President Biden yesterday wanted to remind us that today
is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
And it is a call to action on individuals and organizations and communities to raise awareness about elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
Now,
when Joe Biden said this yesterday, I thought, gee, I can't think of some old-timer that's being exploited by the people who supposedly love him,
but maybe that's just me.
You know, my son, when he was like 10 years old, we're brutal to each other in our family.
We are the most sarcastic family that you've ever met, and we're brutal about it, and we love it.
It's the way we show our love to one another, strangely.
But Rafe was probably, I don't know, about 10 years old, And
I was giving him crap on something.
And he said, listen, old man, one day I'm going to be in charge, and I'm going to send you to a maternity ward.
And, you know, that's not elderly abuse.
I think what he meant was geriatric center, but
that would have been maybe abuse.
But a maternity ward, being there with the little babies and new moms, I think that would be, I think that would be great.
So, son, thank you for your effort on elder abuse, but it didn't work.
Now, there's a couple of things that I want to talk to you about that I think are really, really, really
important.
I just want to play some audio here, but before I do, I want to play audio of one thing of elder abuse.
Is this elder abuse
or
does Joe Biden know all about this and he's actually the one orchestrating it?
Here's Hunter Biden in a piece that maybe tomorrow, Stu, we'll play in its entirety.
It's like five minutes.
And it is remarkable.
He taped this conversation on his laptop.
He's having a conversation with another artist who is helping him,
you know, with his art.
And he talks about his father.
Listen to this.
He's going to talk about drug reform and any other things that I want him to.
He'll talk about anything that I want him to, that he believes in.
If I say this is important to me,
then he will work a way in which to make it a part of
his platform.
My dad respects me more than he respects anyone in the world, and I know that to be certain.
He goes on to talk about how I call my dad all the time, and we talk about policies, and he's going to talk about this, and he'll push whatever I want him to push.
It's It's an extraordinary piece of audio, especially when dad said, I don't know anything about anything.
We don't talk about anything like that.
He's making it very clear on this.
Joe Biden knows and
talks about all of it.
But Joe Biden is kind of an interesting cat because I don't know if he's deliberately ignorant, if he is completely senile, if they won't let him watch television.
I'm not sure.
If you look at the economy right now and how people are feeling, this man is more out of touch, I think, than
really anybody since the czar Nicholas.
I mean, he was out of touch with the people.
I think Joe Biden is approaching this.
Listen to how he talks about
our economy and how people are feeling right now.
This is cut six.
Consumer confidence at the lowest in 70 years, lower than the Great Recession, lower than the stock market crash of the 80s, lower than after 9-11.
What can the White House do, or will it do to instill some confidence in the American people and the economy?
Well, it's important to first level set on where we actually are economically, and we are in a transition.
We are moving out of what has been the strongest economic recovery in modern American history to what can be a more stable period of growth where we don't have to sacrifice all of those economic gains.
And the key, I think, here is that we face real challenges and prices being first among them, but we also have real economic strengths: the strength of our labor market, the strength of household balance sheets, where notwithstanding people are reporting low confidence, they are also reporting record highs in terms of financial stability.
Stop for a second.
Stu, do you know anyone who is feeling financially stable right now?
Do you know anybody who's like, you know what, this is bad, but I've got so much money stacked away in the bank that I'm not worried about it.
Yeah, I mean, even people who are
well off, I find, I mean, as you know, Glenn, we constantly gather in country clubs and
have cocktail parties with elitists because we're conservatives.
And when we do that,
even those people, I mean, you even notice people who are well off and have a decent amount of resources, they have no idea how to protect them.
Where do you put this stuff right now?
You've mentioned gold earlier, which has held up really well as compared to pretty much everything else over this period.
But, like, you know, you're in crypto, you're down.
You're in tech stocks, you're down.
You're in the SP 500, you're down.
You know, you're in cash, you're definitely down because inflation is wiping you out slowly, even though you don't realize it.
And all of this like adds up.
I mean, I, you know, they keep saying this that like people have a higher amount of money, you know, in their savings accounts.
And it's just like, it's completely a ridiculous measure.
They gave a bunch of free money to people and told them they couldn't go anywhere.
So yeah, a lot of people wound up over the COVID period saving some money because they were terrified of what was coming next.
And that money is just slowly dwindling away.
And over time, it will go away completely.
It's a crisis.
Right.
If it is kept in a bank, but I'm not sure it's being kept in the bank anymore.
I think a lot of people have just blown through that, not blown through it, but how many weeks can you fill your car once or twice a week at $120 a tank?
How many weeks can the average person do that?
I don't know.
I don't know, but I don't think very long.
Biden goes on to say, this is when he was at the AFL-CIO, that problems are bad, but not like everywhere else.
Under my plan for the economy, we've made extraordinary progress
and put America in a position to tackle a
worldwide problem is worse everywhere but here.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
And then he says inflation is not because of reckless spending.
Cut eight.
I don't want to hear any more of these lies about reckless spending.
We're changing people's lives.
Okay.
What?
Is that white?
You see what he's saying here?
He is.
I don't know because he's an old man and he's angry.
You see what he just did?
He says, I don't want to hear about this reckless spending anymore.
It's all lies.
We're changing people's lives.
So what he's saying, as I interpret it,
what he's, and I hate to interpret him because he may not have had any idea what he was talking about.
But if you want to look at that logically, what he's saying is it's not the reckless spending that is causing all of these problems.
That's a lie.
We are changing people's lives, meaning we are getting off of all of the fossil fuels.
We're changing the way the economy even is run.
We're leaving capitalism capitalism and going into the great reset.
All of these things have to be done, and it's going to be painful.
And we're going to be saving people's lives because of this.
I think that's a moment of real honesty where he's telling the American people, because he's done it before.
This is going to be hard, but at the end of it, we're going to be better off because we won't be on fossil fuels.
Yeah, and I think it's important to look at what could have been here.
When we were going through COVID, I remember Glenn having a conversation with you saying that, like, you know, this is interesting in that we're seeing a real test of what conservatives believe about spending.
We've talked about this for so many years, and spending has always been bad, and there's always been a problem.
But our case was always, if you start going crazy, there is a breaking point.
And
there was the competing ideology of modern monetary theory.
And we said during the time, like, look, we're just experimenting with this.
We're going for it.
We're going to print $4 trillion, $5 trillion.
We're going to have all of this money coming from the Fed.
And if there's not an effect from this, like, I don't know, does that prove our thesis wrong all this time?
And here we go.
They do this.
They now print another.
Then Biden comes in, they pass another multi-trillion dollar bill.
And we're seeing that the entire time, the conservative position on this was correct.
Look at inflation and what's happening right now.
It's destroying families.
And I think it's important to remember that the Democrats wanted and almost got another $6 trillion of spending
between three and six.
Let me tell you, I want to end the program with a piece of audio on that very subject.
We'll do that in just a minute.
Stand by.
Our sponsor, this half hour is Life Lock.

It's never a pleasant experience.
You know, it's not like you answer the doorbell and some well-dressed young man says, hi, I was wondering if I could borrow a cup of your identity.
It's worse.
It's worse than you think it is.
One day you go on to look at your bank account and he's already been there and he's taken more of a cup and it's gone.
It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting your life every day.
We put our information at risk on the internet.

All right,
I want to play a piece of audio here that I think really
says everything you really need to know
about
what is really happening
in our country.
You know, Stu was just talking about inflation and saying, you know, they could have had $3 to $6 trillion more and everybody was for it.
But
people are now pretending that they weren't for it.
Let me play this
little flashback from Joe Scarborough on MSNBC.
Listen.
This is pretty simple stuff.
Let me say that again.
This is pretty simple stuff.
You get the head of the Progressive Caucus, you get Joe Manchin, and you get Joe Biden,
and you put them in a room.
And you say, we're not going to get out of this room until one of two things happen.
One, we have a deal, or two, we're going to have a press conference where we go out and announce that Joe Manchin does not support any piece of legislation regarding Build Back Better.
We either have a bill or Joe Manchin will never support anything, and he's been lying to us for the past year and a half.
It's very clear.
And my God, I just wonder what would have happened if progressives had made their $6 trillion wish earlier this year.
Yeah, in an ironic way, you almost have to thank Joe Manchin for blocking that.
I wouldn't even say ironically, thank Joe Manchin.
You can just thank Joe Manchin
if you're glad that interest rates aren't even higher.
I mean, look at that.
He was saying to his audience and a group of experts, look, you just have to throw Joe Manchin under the bus.
He's not going to go, but we can't stop this.
We have to have this.
Now, as if he never said any of that?
Yeah, well, you got to thank Joe Manchin for that.
These guys have no soul.
There's just no soul left.
Hey, tonight, 9 p.m.
You want to see what's coming and what's coming next and the plan that has been underway since Obama first took office, we will show you how they are dismantling the country and what's coming next.
You, you will be prepared tonight, 9 p.m.
