Speaker 3 Got no room to compromise.
Speaker 3 We gotta stand together, it's the corner surviving.
Speaker 3 Stand up straight and hold the line.
Speaker 3 It's a new day, I'm turned to rise.
Speaker 3 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
Speaker 3 This is the Glenback program.
Speaker 5 Let me paint a scenario for you.
Speaker 10 Imagine that every state were free to choose whether or not to allow black people and white people to marry.
Speaker 15 Some states would permit such marriages, others probably would.
Speaker 18 Others probably wouldn't.
Speaker 7 The laws would be a mismatch.
Speaker 21 The interracial couples would suffer, legally consigned to second-class status depending on where they live.
Speaker 22 This can happen here.
Speaker 9 This is a serious op-ed from the New York Times.
Speaker 23 It is written by a fourth grader.
Speaker 8 I'll give you the latest in 60 seconds.
Speaker 27 Susan Roglen, my husband, Charlie, the B-Man, are professional commercial beekeepers.
Speaker 11 Me and my husband, the bee man, does all the heavy lifting and works 12 hours a day during pollination season while I do all the honey and beeswax extraction.
Speaker 26 I ordered Relief Factor because it helps the bee man with his back and hip during all the hard work.
Speaker 18 His pain is so much more tolerable now than it was before.
Speaker 20 I wonder if it helps, you know, with inflammation from thousands of bee stings.
Speaker 35 I'm just, I don't know for sure what his pain is.
Speaker 19 Uh, but Relief Factor apparently, according to his wife Susan, has helped a great deal.
Speaker 40 Three-week quick start developed just for you, $19.95.
Speaker 39 It's a dollar a day like a trial pack.
Speaker 20 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and 70% of them go on to order more.
Speaker 43 That says a ton.
Speaker 32 It's Relief Factor, relief factor.com, or call 1-800, the number 4-relief, 1-800-4 Relief, or relieffactor.com.
Speaker 48 Feel the difference.
Speaker 9 Imagine that every state were free to choose whether to allow black people and white people to marry.
Speaker 53 Some states would permit such marriages.
Speaker 54 Others
Speaker 17 probably wouldn't.
Speaker 57 It seems unthinkable as a scenario in 2022.
Speaker 59 That's because in 1967, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that
Speaker 23 barring interracial marriage, as 16 states still did, violates the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection.
Speaker 16 Under the Constitution, the freedom to marry or not marry, a person or another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the state, said the court.
Speaker 66 More than half a century on, this court case is considered one of the court's great rulings, and yet it was not universally admired at the time.
Speaker 6 Southern states complied only grudgingly.
Speaker 62 Alabama didn't repeal its ban on international marriage or interracial marriage until 20 or the year 2000.
Speaker 19 That's the point of having a federal constitution, says the New York Times op-ed.
Speaker 67 It is supreme.
Speaker 32 The guarantees and rights in that document apply to all Americans equally, whether or not they live in the South or the north no matter where they live the court system and the supreme court in particular exist to protect those rights when state and local authorities refuse to
Speaker 36 leaving the matter to individual states and political process means that millions of americans will be denied their fundamental rights in this case the right of a woman to decide what happens inside her own body i mean in unless it's you know a vaccine
Speaker 73 the draft opinion relies heavily on the lack of mention of abortion in the Constitution, therefore argues that the document cannot be the basis for the right to terminate a pregnancy.
Speaker 63 The Constitution also says nothing about, here comes the fourth grader, the Constitution also says nothing about interracial marriage, but that didn't prevent the judges from finding in the 14th Amendment the guarantee that no couple may be treated differently because of the color of their skin.
Speaker 63 That's specifically what the 14th Amendment is talking about.
Speaker 7 It's specifically talking about.
Speaker 21 You can't take somebody
Speaker 19 that lives here in America and treat them differently
Speaker 77 because of the color of their skin,
Speaker 14 because they are different in some way.
Speaker 29 Now, if the left, I suppose, were arguing that men could have abortions as well,
Speaker 84 then maybe.
Speaker 90 But see,
Speaker 21 this is missing the point entirely.
Speaker 93 The point is, in the Constitution, it doesn't say you can kill babies that you claim are a lump of cells.
Speaker 69 There is nothing, there are no rights, you know how many, do you know how many things the Constitution actually allows the federal government to do?
Speaker 33 What are the number number of things that the government is allowed to do, the federal government allowed to do according to the Constitution?
Speaker 3 What's that number? I don't know the number, but there's very few of them. I mean,
Speaker 3 the common defense,
Speaker 3 you have the courts, you have the post office.
Speaker 56 I mean, you have 17 things in the Constitution.
Speaker 21 Only 17.
Speaker 28 How many millions are they doing right now?
Speaker 3 And to point out, not only is
Speaker 3
gay marriage and interracial marriage not there, neither is marriage marriage. Like the old school, that's not, it's a state issue.
It's not a federal issue. To this day, it's not a federal issue.
Speaker 101 And by the way, marriage marriage wasn't an issue at all.
Speaker 56 That was a church and human-to-human thing.
Speaker 102 Shouldn't be a government issue at all.
Speaker 51 Should be.
Speaker 77 That all started because of the progressives.
Speaker 38 Interracial marriage banned because of the progressives.
Speaker 60 I would say that Planned Planned Parenthood had a lot to do with that.
Speaker 17 I want to point that out, Eric.
Speaker 3
Yeah, and we should point out that, you know, the guy, the guy, I don't know if this president freed the slaves. Remember this guy? He had a big hat.
He was tall.
Speaker 3 I don't know, kind of a weird-looking dude.
Speaker 70 Got married.
Speaker 3 I think it was Shmirnov.
Speaker 105 It was
Speaker 3 another one of our past presidents.
Speaker 3 He got married without a marriage license. That's weird.
Speaker 77 So did George Washington.
Speaker 107 So did George Washington.
Speaker 3 Because that was not the way they thought about it at all.
Speaker 43 In short, constitutional rights are meaningless unless they apply across the entire country. Let me rephrase that for the New York Times and the fourth grader that wrote this.
Speaker 110 In short, constitutional rights are meaningless unless they apply to all people.
Speaker 72 All people.
Speaker 112 Now, our argument here in the state would be that
Speaker 63 that clump of cells doesn't suddenly turn into a tumor.
Speaker 7 It always turns into a human being.
Speaker 66 You have a right to life.
Speaker 93 No one is allowed to take that life
Speaker 115 from you unless you've done something and you've been tried in a court of law.
Speaker 116 No innocent life is supposed to go away because the government says.
Speaker 58 So that's the extremist point of view.
Speaker 40 But the Constitution is there
Speaker 65 to say these are a few few of the rights that come from God.
Speaker 114 So they come from, you don't have, you could say it's a higher power.
Speaker 53 You could say it's the stars.
Speaker 119 It's stardust, the things that make us, whatever it is,
Speaker 29 rights come from them.
Speaker 53 You know, the trees, the forests.
Speaker 121 I'm speaking right directly to the progressive left.
Speaker 79 The forest gives us our rights.
Speaker 58 And no one can change them.
Speaker 109 And no one can just issue rights.
Speaker 33 That's really important because that's what the government wants you to believe, that the government can give you rights.
Speaker 87 The Supreme Court is not taking away abortion rights.
Speaker 21 The Supreme Court is saying it's up to the people in the state.
Speaker 56 The federal government can't do anything about it.
Speaker 6 Why?
Speaker 38 Because it's not their job.
Speaker 65 When it comes to something like this, it has to be decided by the people.
Speaker 76 This is the least dictatorial ruling I have seen in I don't know how long.
Speaker 71 All right.
Speaker 123 So
Speaker 124 what's happening?
Speaker 60 Well, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, very upset, very, very upset
Speaker 14 because the Supreme Court is overturning Roe v.
Speaker 63 Wade.
Speaker 12 And she said, I am not to have, I am not going to enforce any laws
Speaker 19 that say I have to break into a doctor's office and stop abortion.
Speaker 96 I just won't do it.
Speaker 91 Again, that's not what the Supreme Court said.
Speaker 91 It's your state laws.
Speaker 75 Well, Michigan has a law in the books from 1931.
Speaker 103 by the way
Speaker 3 the height of the progressive era you really hung on that h in height for some reason that seemed to
Speaker 36 uh it criminalized abortion uh
Speaker 86 with she says with
Speaker 114 no exceptions
Speaker 97 i mean except for the exception uh exception for rape and incest but other than that no exceptions okay well if you don't like it i think the Democrats control Michigan.
Speaker 45 I think actually the mob does, but the Democrats control Michigan.
Speaker 63 You have a very pro-choice governor.
Speaker 78 Change the law.
Speaker 14 You can't go off as the attorney general.
Speaker 116 I know George Soros is telling you differently, but you can't just say as the chief law enforcement officer in your state,
Speaker 94 you can't say, nah, we're not going to pay attention to that law.
Speaker 79 What you do is you change your law.
Speaker 129 This is not a federal law.
Speaker 55 This is in your state.
Speaker 53 Ask the voters.
Speaker 17 It really,
Speaker 71 it really
Speaker 112 amazes me how stupid people really are.
Speaker 131 She knows better than this.
Speaker 48 All these people, New York Times, they know better than that. That's a fourth, it is honestly a fourth grade opinion.
Speaker 16 It really is.
Speaker 43 It shows you have no understanding how this system works at all.
Speaker 60 But then again,
Speaker 14 why should people be smart when they're spoon-fed everything they're supposed to believe and then told you must believe it?
Speaker 63 CNN reported on Friday that the leak of the Supreme Court draft opinion,
Speaker 74 probably a right-wing political
Speaker 134 leak.
Speaker 10 And it's going to lead to right-wing political violence.
Speaker 2 What?
Speaker 52 What are they even talking about?
Speaker 112 CNN has learned the U.S.
Speaker 93 Capitol Police are bracing for large demonstrations that are being organized by far-right groups to protest abortion rights.
Speaker 98 What far-right groups?
Speaker 89 What?
Speaker 13 I mean, you always say far-right groups, which is wrong.
Speaker 72 Far-right groups are Nazis.
Speaker 69 Nazis love abortions.
Speaker 114 They were killing children in the millions.
Speaker 7 What are you talking about?
Speaker 65 The Nazis are upset about killing children?
Speaker 10 They love it.
Speaker 45 The recently installed non-scalable fencing outside the court building was visible.
Speaker 48 As CNN reported, several members of law enforcement have expressed concerns that people who are committed to committing act of violent extremism could use Roe versus Wade opinion for a justification of that.
Speaker 137 Yeah, where did they say that
Speaker 90 it was going to be
Speaker 69 the vast right wing?
Speaker 63 Where are they saying that? that?
Speaker 63 CNN did say I should caution, there are no specific credible threats.
Speaker 63 Oh,
Speaker 61 okay.
Speaker 98 Okay. All right.
Speaker 120 I get it. Sure.
Speaker 52 Sure.
Speaker 104 Now,
Speaker 58 a lot of people have been saying these things about
Speaker 48 the right
Speaker 7 while they put up the fence.
Speaker 36 I was shocked, shocked to see the progressive left
Speaker 19 calling to burn the Supreme Court and the country down.
Speaker 132 I don't know about anybody else.
Speaker 131 You know, those
Speaker 138 pro-life conservatives were really upset.
Speaker 31 Oh, man, they had some heated arguments around the dinner table yesterday.
Speaker 71 Yeah, they did.
Speaker 12 Meanwhile, the acts of violence or illegal activity
Speaker 43 seems to be things like a Catholic church burned in Boulder, Colorado.
Speaker 31 It was vandalized.
Speaker 63 I shouldn't say burned or broken into or terrorist activity. This is vandalized.
Speaker 63 Vandalist.
Speaker 121 Vandals.
Speaker 70 Vandals did this.
Speaker 3 Now, was the vandalism mostly peaceful?
Speaker 63 It was mostly peaceful, but it was mostly also anti-religious and
Speaker 31 it was
Speaker 63 pro-choice.
Speaker 39 But it was
Speaker 96 peaceful, sort of fire-starting,
Speaker 57 bomb-throwing,
Speaker 88 sort of
Speaker 28 threatening if abortion isn't safe, neither are you, sort of way.
Speaker 3
Right. And that, you know, that's a, in a peaceful sense.
There was tranquility involved in those words.
Speaker 104 Amen. Amen.
Speaker 119 And they also scribbled on the side of another clinic
Speaker 129 in Madison, Wisconsin.
Speaker 119 It was a pro-life office.
Speaker 63 They scribbled, or actually in very nice cursive handwriting, so you know that it was the right.
Speaker 48 1312 was also on there, which every conservative who doesn't know what 1312 means, right?
Speaker 84 I mean, that's
Speaker 31 we start all of our, come on, we start all of our meetings with, hey, hail 1312.
Speaker 3 What is 13? 1312?
Speaker 72 All cops are the B word.
Speaker 60 I'm not sure.
Speaker 31 I think I know what B word, but so many words have been banned. When somebody says the B word.
Speaker 27 Well, we wouldn't want to designate the gender of the police officer exactly right that would be either one of those could be either one of those so uh we don't know but 1312 that was the tip off to me that it was definitely definitely right-wing churchgoers
Speaker 59 uh welcome to the oh by the way um antifa also um the pro-abort men of Antifa uh were um putting out hits on pregnancy centers in Portland also this weekend.
Speaker 25 They bashed windows and put F C P C's, which,
Speaker 121 again, come on, we all know what that means.
Speaker 29 All right, the Tuttle Twins.
Speaker 70 I want to tell you about a little girl named Pippa, Pippa the painter.
Speaker 45 Pippa's mom liked her paintings and started sharing them all over social media.
Speaker 31 And what do you know?
Speaker 65 People started saying, Pippa, you should sell these things.
Speaker 75 So Pippa and her mom began looking into it.
Speaker 63 Turns out, market for putting paintings on t-shirts, mugs, canvas, frame prints, baby clothes. Ha.
Speaker 21 Pippa, you're a genius.
Speaker 52 Should have thought of that one.
Speaker 124 Anyway, sure enough, great idea because it started selling like heart hotcakes and Pippa's now a business owner.
Speaker 132 This is the kind of inspiring story that your kids can find, what other kids are doing to become business owners, entrepreneurs.
Speaker 146 You're finding them now in the Tuttle Times.
Speaker 133 It's a magazine dedicated to teaching our kids about entrepreneurship and other freedom-related things.
Speaker 6 You can get access to the magazine now at a reduced rate, $49 for the entire year.
Speaker 63 You give this to them, it inspires them, gives them examples of what others are doing beside being on TikTok.
Speaker 45 It's TuttleTwinsbeck.com, TuttleTwinsbeck.com, just $49 for 12 months. TuttleTwinsbeck.com.
Speaker 48 10 seconds, station ID.
Speaker 47 Yeah, you know what's really weird is
Speaker 18 all of these people pretending to be from the left, but we know they are clearly right-wing nutjobs that were protesting in front of the houses of some of the Supreme Court members.
Speaker 39 That was great.
Speaker 109 Completely against the law.
Speaker 125 I have a right to free speech. It's a free sidewalk.
Speaker 41 Yeah, actually, you don't.
Speaker 63 You don't.
Speaker 149 It's against the law to protest or try to intimidate at a home
Speaker 31 any judge to try to influence their decisions.
Speaker 25 It's against the law.
Speaker 74 Now, who would have known that?
Speaker 3 Now, it's okay to break the law when you're involved in a mostly peaceful protest
Speaker 3 when you're on the right side of these issues.
Speaker 86 Yeah, and that's the key.
Speaker 89 That's the key.
Speaker 3 Like when, let's just advance a little while here. When the left occupies the Supreme Court building, when this occurs,
Speaker 102 will it be called an insurrection at that point?
Speaker 150 No.
Speaker 17 It will not. No, it will not be a good idea.
Speaker 141 It's for the right, you know, it's for the right causes.
Speaker 67 Here's MSNBC.
Speaker 22 It's cut eight, please.
Speaker 151 Amy, you just heard Michelle refer to the anti-abortionists as terrorists, And she has a point because the quote-unquote people who call themselves pro-life, they achieve this through violence.
Speaker 151 When you look through the, I remember, I'm old enough to remember that in the 80s, anti-abortion protesters began bombing clinics, threatening doctors.
Speaker 151
By 1990, a thousand abortion doctors had quit. 84% counties nationwide had no abortion clinic.
You are an abortion provider. What does this ruling mean?
Speaker 152 mean for you that is the dumbest point of the world so michelle is right and i'm thankful to be here tiffany this morning with both Michelle and Nancy.
Speaker 152 There is violence, and it is terrorism, and I think it's very important for us to recognize that it is Christian extremism that is at the root of this shame and the stigma that allows laws like this to pass, that allows justices like this to be confirmed.
Speaker 152 And this does not represent the majority of feelings and beliefs of people in this country.
Speaker 41 I'm telling you, this is connecting with a lot of people.
Speaker 3 It probably is.
Speaker 60 No, you have MSNBC.
Speaker 43 There were six panelists there, I think, which is is six times the normal viewership of MSNBC.
Speaker 25
That's true. They were all watching.
They were all watching.
Speaker 107 So ratings were up.
Speaker 116 Yeah.
Speaker 13 Well, I should say maybe five.
Speaker 3 So the theory here is that 12 murders, which they claim, I haven't found it.
Speaker 3
From 1973 to today is what brought us to this 98-page legal ruling by the Supreme Court. Yeah.
That's the case.
Speaker 77 It's terrorism.
Speaker 3 Wow. I mean, you want to talk about brilliance.
Speaker 46 How do you, honestly, how do you bridge the gap?
Speaker 20 How do you bridge the gap?
Speaker 9 The gap is just getting so far apart.
Speaker 3 It's impossible to bridge the gap with someone that dumb. It's impossible.
Speaker 3 The Glenn Back program.
Speaker 17 I'm going to try.
Speaker 119
I'm going to try. There's a gap.
There was a gap.
Speaker 3 I'm sick of trying.
Speaker 107 I'm sick of tribe. Do everyone knows all about life lately?
Speaker 3 Yeah, I'm sick of trying. Okay.
Speaker 3 It's so enough.
Speaker 25 You had a good weekend, didn't you?
Speaker 107 Oh, yeah, it was great.
Speaker 39 Anyway, scrolling through social media can be fun, but it can also expose you to con artists.
Speaker 146 Always be on the lookout for identity thieves that want your personal information, financial information, so they can open accounts in your name, common sense measures, things like not telling everyone on social media if you're going to be away from your house for a few days.
Speaker 39 It's Life Lock.
Speaker 31 Life Lock can help you do all of these things and stop the bad guys.
Speaker 158 Now, they can't stop everybody.
Speaker 63 Nobody can stop all crime on anything, but they're the best in the business.
Speaker 120 And if something does happen, they have restoration specialists that will work with you to help fix the problem quickly.
Speaker 160 Nobody can prevent all identity theft, monitor, all transactions, but they're the best.

Speaker 62 oh boy emily libert
Speaker 30 she is um she's talking um writing about jewish leaders banning abortion is absolutely a violation of religious freedom she says she has talked to many, a coalition of rabbis
Speaker 19 who are defending Jewish pregnant people's right to abortion access.
Speaker 108 In fact, Rabbi Rutenberg, scholar in residence at the National Council of Jewish Women, who, oh, it's a Jewish rabbi, focuses on religious texts and she focuses on religious texts around sexuality and bodily autonomy.
Speaker 116 She says Judaism Judaism is a patriarchal religion and that there are plenty of places in the Torah that don't get it right.
Speaker 70 As if you view it through a
Speaker 109 reproductive justice lens, she says much of the Jewish religion can be
Speaker 41 interpreted as support for the right to choose, which I think, you know, I like my rabbi, my priest, anybody who can read through a reproductive justice lens.
Speaker 139 Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 164 That's the only kind of lens I look through.
Speaker 100 Right, exactly right.
Speaker 131 I got mine at Lenscrafters. Where'd you go?
Speaker 17 Oh, you did?
Speaker 96 Yeah.
Speaker 164 Better contacts and eyeglasses is where I got mine.
Speaker 121 Really? Wow.
Speaker 72 Anyway.
Speaker 3 I don't have a third lens crafter joke teed up here at the end of the day.
Speaker 105 Walmart.
Speaker 17 Okay, Walmart.
Speaker 142 You get it at Walmart here.
Speaker 86 I don't know. So Exodus.
Speaker 22 The rabbis use Exodus 20, 22.
Speaker 29 The article says, the verse says, when men fight and one of them pushes a pregnant woman and a miscarriage results, but no other harm ensues.
Speaker 48 The one responsible shall be fined with the woman's husband's demands a compensation.
Speaker 12 The payment will be determined by judges.
Speaker 158 But if other harm ensues, the penalty shall be life for life.
Speaker 67 The problem is,
Speaker 51 maybe these rabbis can't read Hebrew or know somebody because I don't read Hebrew, but I know people that read Hebrew.
Speaker 110 And the Hebrew phrase that they are translating as miscarriage actually translates to her
Speaker 29 children come out.
Speaker 128 Now,
Speaker 61 nowhere is in the Bible
Speaker 85 is that word translated as miscarriage, because there's another word for miscarriage in Exodus,
Speaker 91 none shall miscarry.
Speaker 7 And that's a completely different word.
Speaker 39 So the verse actually says, if men fight and hurt a pregnant woman so that she prematurely gives birth and yet no harm follows, he's supposed to go to court and be punished accordingly.
Speaker 95 But if harm follows, then you shall give life for life.
Speaker 63 So in other words, if the baby comes out and there's something wrong with the baby because of this,
Speaker 134 you can kill him.
Speaker 43 I just wanted to just...
Speaker 77 Sounds really pretty.
Speaker 102 So it's not, yeah, it's not exactly.
Speaker 7 However, Genesis also talks about Jacob and Esau wrestling in their mother's belly.
Speaker 21 And they don't say that the scriptures say the sons, her sons were wrestling in her bed. Doesn't say clump of cells.
Speaker 102 The clump of cells was, you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 And Isaiah, Adonai called me from the womb before I was born.
Speaker 76 He spoke my name.
Speaker 75 He clearly said clump of cells,
Speaker 25 which was really,
Speaker 77 which is really weird.
Speaker 60 And then Jeremiah 1.15, before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.
Speaker 13 You were a Buick.
Speaker 160 Then I changed my mind and I thought,
Speaker 24 I'll let you be a kid.
Speaker 39 All right, so you're a kid.
Speaker 45 So they could have aborted when the child was abused.
Speaker 70 You're still in Bible country.
Speaker 150 That would have been a lot of people. You're still in Bible country.
Speaker 119 Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 54 And that would have been way ahead of time for a Buick.
Speaker 88 Yeah, too.
Speaker 25 So that would have been really cool.
Speaker 66 Well, God knows all.
Speaker 63 There's no time in God's world.
Speaker 56 So the Bible is a book of patterns that maybe we should, you know, look at those patterns.
Speaker 148 And I, this is me, and I'm not a rabbi, but I am a doctor.
Speaker 33 It is useful
Speaker 52 sometimes not to pull a single verse out and have that support your entire philosophy.
Speaker 65 It would be like if I was a doctor of Shakespeare, you know,
Speaker 70 I just don't think I would pull one line to be or not to be, and then I could explain all of Shakespeare.
Speaker 56 You know what I mean? That's just a safety tip.
Speaker 65 Safety tip.
Speaker 98 Safety tip to those clumps of cells.
Speaker 3 I keep hearing this argument. I'm curious as to if you guys feel the same way on this.
Speaker 3
They keep saying, like, we don't need your religion in our laws. Like, I don't care if you have a religious viewpoint on abortion.
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 It has nothing to do with a woman's right and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You would have that personal view, but it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 And I started thinking about that a little bit because they say this often, as if the only way you could come to the conclusion of keeping babies alive is through your religion. Right.
Speaker 3 And I was kind of examining my own thought process on this. And this may be to my own shame.
Speaker 98 Okay. All right.
Speaker 3
But I don't think I've come to that conclusion at all based on my faith. Like, I don't, I'm really happy my faith agrees with the conclusion I've come to logically about abortion.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 Because if it didn't, I would have a real problem. I don't think I would be able to square those two.
Speaker 113 It would be really difficult for me to understand.
Speaker 3 But like, that is honestly more of a coincidence than anything else.
Speaker 21 I can do it to a complete science. Completely science.
Speaker 3
Life is important. It's not just a more, that is a moral stance, but it is not just a moral stance.
It is, it is a legal stance. It is a logical stance that every child should have a chance at life.
Speaker 7 By the way, all morals don't have to come be based in the Bible. I mean, you know, hey, let's not kill children.
Speaker 69 I think that's a pretty good safety tip.
Speaker 101 I don't need God to tell me that.
Speaker 164 There's a lot of moral atheists.
Speaker 25 Yeah.
Speaker 164 People who live good lives even though they don't believe in God.
Speaker 113 Exactly right.
Speaker 3 And like the moral basis of a lot of our laws comes from that Judeo-Christian tradition, right? Right.
Speaker 3 But that does not mean that this is the reason why people want there to be no children being aborted.
Speaker 3
These are totally, like, they work together, which is what's great about faith many times. Logic and faith tend to line up a lot, which is sometimes they don't.
But sometimes it's hard.
Speaker 102 Sometimes it's hard.
Speaker 77 Yeah.
Speaker 3 But in this particular case, like, it just doesn't,
Speaker 3 murder's another one, right? Like, thou shalt not murder is in the Bible quite clearly, but that's not necessarily why I think there should be a policy against murder.
Speaker 25 Right. Right?
Speaker 17 Like, it's in the Bible.
Speaker 150 Okay,
Speaker 77 okay, Pope Stew.
Speaker 17 Quiet down about murdering people.
Speaker 3 I love how they're trying to make this out,
Speaker 164 all the protests that are starting to occur and some of the violence that is beginning to happen. And they're trying to blame it on the right.
Speaker 3 Clearly.
Speaker 164 You see the report from CNN that warning of the far-right violence because of this decision?
Speaker 95 What far-right violence has there been?
Speaker 20 We were just talking about it.
Speaker 63 I think the Nazis were pretty cool with killing babies.
Speaker 89 Yeah, they seem to be.
Speaker 95 I mean, and they always say that's far-right.
Speaker 164 Plus, the far-right, as you've pointed out a million times, Nazis are not on the right.
Speaker 72 They're socialists.
Speaker 164 Nazis are national socialists, and they belong on the left, unless you live in Europe. Yes.
Speaker 164 Then they're a right organization.
Speaker 86 And why is that, Pat?
Speaker 55 Because they don't have something called the Constitution.
Speaker 162 Right.
Speaker 121 Exactly.
Speaker 27 So,
Speaker 116 I mean,
Speaker 164 the media, and especially CNN, is always trying to blame violence on the right. And we never accommodate them except,
Speaker 30 and it's one of the things that makes it so bad, January 6th.
Speaker 69 I mean, January 6th was probably
Speaker 164 the one thing that they can point to and say,
Speaker 65 yeah, and we've said that for 15 years.
Speaker 4 Don't ever exist.
Speaker 128 Never do anything like that.
Speaker 164 And now they've done it. And they've got an excuse now to point to them and say, look, see, we told you they were right.
Speaker 84 I just don't think people are going to buy it.
Speaker 8 I really just
Speaker 84 don't think.
Speaker 53 I mean, it's so clear what's going on.
Speaker 3 I mean, to go just off the point we played a clip earlier, Glenn, like when they're trying to point to right-wing violence, they literally go back to abortion clinic bombings from the 1980s.
Speaker 165 1996. Right? Like,
Speaker 3 this is what's happened. I mean, you know, what was the guy, Eric Rudolph, was it? Yeah.
Speaker 3 I'm trying to remember his name.
Speaker 107 And that was what?
Speaker 164 96 when we heard about him.
Speaker 3 Yeah, that's it. The Olympics.
Speaker 66 Yeah, right, that's right.
Speaker 164 But it had been before that when he supposedly bombed abortion clinics.
Speaker 3 So 90s, you've got some, you know, 20 years ago. I know we had the one.
Speaker 9 30 years ago.
Speaker 156 80s were 40 years ago.
Speaker 105 40 years ago.
Speaker 3 You had one murder I remember in, I think it was Kansas of an abortion clinic and a doctor. And I remember thinking, I've never heard, never heard a conservative be
Speaker 3
justify that in any way. Say, hey, look, we think that's bad, but it's not.
It's just straight out wrong.
Speaker 17 Wow.
Speaker 142 Wow.
Speaker 158 Okay, apparently you guys don't know what's really going on.
Speaker 4 Oh, really?
Speaker 17 Oh, wow.
Speaker 80 Yeah, Rosanna Arquette, you know, the actor.
Speaker 131 Oh, no.
Speaker 126 Oh, no.
Speaker 154 She's not a good one.
Speaker 3 She has spilled the beans.
Speaker 54 She has spilled the beans.
Speaker 66 Yes.
Speaker 54 She's right through us. Yeah.
Speaker 101 She knows what's happening with the Republicans.
Speaker 35 She says the Republicans have financial gain in this Supreme Court ruling.
Speaker 66 Okay.
Speaker 66 Really? Oh, big time.
Speaker 145 Yeah. Big time.
Speaker 164 Think about it. Where's all that money coming from?
Speaker 55 The money is coming from the Republican party's trafficking babies oh wow the republican party is yeah oh sure she's yeah they're not competent enough to do anything of the sort uh no she said no this is a satanic force oh that's in the supreme court and she said it's not hysterical or alarmist uh they are going to traffic in babies oh wow that women just can't afford to keep and she's on to us she's on to us yeah
Speaker 164 we were hoping nobody would notice i know well we were well until we had to advertise.
Speaker 54 Yeah.
Speaker 84 She said there's huge money in
Speaker 132 making a worldwide market for babies.
Speaker 155 And it's all behind organ trafficking.
Speaker 86 So she says the Supreme Court is officially the satanic force.
Speaker 17 So, wait, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 We're growing babies to grow organs.
Speaker 150 Oh my gosh.
Speaker 119 Yeah. So this is.
Speaker 25 Yeah.
Speaker 25 Yeah.
Speaker 102 Your answer to that was yeah.
Speaker 105 Yeah, this is, of course, please.
Speaker 113 Of course.
Speaker 48 When you call the Supreme court stop pretending stu we've been caught we've been caught
Speaker 13 when you call the supreme court you say i'd like a copy of that case please and then they say uh okay
Speaker 23 uh anything else and you'd say yes i'd like it with pepperoni and pineapple
Speaker 164 then they go down into the basement there's someone else you want a hawaiian baby doesn't it isn't that what that means yeah yeah yeah well half hawaiian uh half italian
Speaker 7 along with a court case.
Speaker 118 But see, it's
Speaker 3 so it's you order it like
Speaker 102 that.
Speaker 55 There are tunnels under the Supreme Court when they're trafficking babies.
Speaker 4 This sounds familiar.
Speaker 95 It does sound familiar.
Speaker 155 I don't know.
Speaker 3 Do they play ping pong at the Supreme Court, too?
Speaker 128 No,
Speaker 35 I'm not sure.
Speaker 92 I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 So I'm sure all the people that echo this Rosanna Arquette theory are going to be banned from social media like they were for Pizzagate. That's all.
Speaker 121 You know they will be.
Speaker 42 Yeah. You know they will.
Speaker 121 You bet. But
Speaker 70 she's on to us.
Speaker 25 She is on top of us.
Speaker 98 So, shoot,
Speaker 63 we could have all been so rich.
Speaker 3 If it wasn't for those crazy kids in that van.
Speaker 84 Yeah.
Speaker 62 You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 Stupid dog.
Speaker 3 This dumb brother, Scrappy.
Speaker 69 That name is Scrappy.
Speaker 21 Isn't it honestly like
Speaker 23 their writing Scooby-Doo episodes?
Speaker 98 It really does.
Speaker 100 All right.
Speaker 31 The Fed is behind the curve when it comes to fighting inflation.
Speaker 109 In fact, it's a little ridiculous how far behind they are.
Speaker 48 Their lack of movement is costing all of us dearly, and it's going to make credit card debt much more expensive.
Speaker 69 If you thought 19% was high, wait until you see what is coming.
Speaker 97 It's going to be harder and harder for you to get credit, and harder and harder for you to afford
Speaker 48 any monthly payment that will actually bring that
Speaker 59 balance down every month, but you can do something about it.
Speaker 129 You can call American Financing.
Speaker 143 They work for you, not the banks.
Speaker 131 So when you call them and say, look, I have this money that is on my credit cards and I'm paying already.
Speaker 28 The average is about 19%.
Speaker 79 It's going to shoot through the roof.
Speaker 88 Can I get a consolidation loan that will get me into the fours or 5% so I can pay this off and get out of this?
Speaker 81 The answer might be yes.
Speaker 15 Have them look at your your financial state and see if they can save you hundreds, if not $1,000 a month or more.
Speaker 153 It's American Financing, 800-906-2440.
Speaker 68 800-906-2440.
Speaker 158 AmericanFinancing.net.
Speaker 167 American Financing, NMLS, 1-8-2-3-3-4. www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
Speaker 126 The Glenback Program.
Speaker 62 We're going to have to
Speaker 49 talk later, Stu, unless we have time now. How much time do we have here, Sarah? Three minutes, okay.
Speaker 28 I purchased some things, Tanya and I purchased some things for our, for the museum here for the American Journey Experience, this weekend.
Speaker 49 And
Speaker 5 David and I, who we watch all the auctions, we have never seen.
Speaker 51 David Barton?
Speaker 103 David Barton.
Speaker 153 We have never seen auctions like in the last four or five weeks.
Speaker 149 The prices of things are astronomical.
Speaker 35 Astronomical.
Speaker 3 So
Speaker 3 this isn't a reflection of inflation.
Speaker 124 No, this is a reflection of something else.
Speaker 36 And I think it's because rich people.
Speaker 87 are starting to take their money.
Speaker 24 The last six weeks,
Speaker 15 maybe eight weeks, the auction prices are just going through the roof.
Speaker 7 And they've been gently climbing, but they're just starting to spiral out of control.
Speaker 129 And I think that's because rich people are taking their money out of stocks and bonds and also US dollars and buying treasures.
Speaker 159 They're buying artwork and
Speaker 129 different things.
Speaker 138 There was
Speaker 29 one of the only two copies,
Speaker 59 paper copies of the Declaration of Independence that was made, I can't remember, 18 something or other.
Speaker 59 And it's kind of sketchy.
Speaker 28 We don't even know how they were made, etc., etc.
Speaker 7 We are going on, yeah, we think it's this.
Speaker 149 That went for
Speaker 45 it was either almost five or almost $600,000.
Speaker 49 It was estimated to go between $20,000 and $40,000.
Speaker 136 It is some
Speaker 63 people with money, and I always say this because my grandfather always taught me
Speaker 133 the people in the Depression who survived the depression were the people who had money going into it, had stable jobs going into it.
Speaker 57 And he always said,
Speaker 121 if we would have known what the rich people knew,
Speaker 6 then we probably would have done better for ourselves. And I'm telling you right now, rich people, I think, are getting and putting their money into
Speaker 50 anything, really, that is long-lasting an asset that will appreciate in value because dollars and stocks are going down.
Speaker 3
Yeah, the time period of a couple months is about what we've seen with the weakening of all these markets, too. So it kind of lines up.
Yeah.
Speaker 160 All right, back in a minute.
Speaker 19 We've got a great hour with a former Soviet spy.
Speaker 169 This is the Glenn Back program.
Speaker 64 Thank you so much.
Speaker 136 We're just talking about that amazing Kentucky Derby.
Speaker 144 We'll talk about it a little bit later.
Speaker 3 My understanding is the horse ate rough greens.
Speaker 107 Really? Yeah, that's how it happened.
Speaker 113 And they put the bull, it said, after the race, and he was just running for the bowl.
Speaker 105 Yeah, that's the rumor.
Speaker 98 I haven't confirmed that. Wow.
Speaker 17 Wow.
Speaker 51 Well, don't look into it too deeply.
Speaker 3 No, I would never. When it agrees with something that I like, I would never look into it more deeply.
Speaker 33 So, rough greens, when you're feeding your dog kibble food, it's dead food, been sterilized, has to be sterilized, so it can sit on a store shelf.
Speaker 87 I'm not kidding, for two or two and a half years.
Speaker 52 That's the rule.
Speaker 26 So it doesn't contain anything that your dog really needs to live his best life.
Speaker 63 That's where Rough Greens comes in.
Speaker 75 Not a dog food, it's a supplement that you put on the food, and it is filled with vitamins and minerals, and probiotics, and antioxidants, the things your dog, in fact, you need to live healthier.
Speaker 39 Most of the time, dogs absolutely love it.
Speaker 23 It's like dog crack, but they want to make sure that your dog loves rough greens as much as our dogs do.
Speaker 20 All you pay for for the first bag is shipping at roughgreens, r-u-f-f-greens.com slash back.
Speaker 96 Roughgreens.com/slash back, or call 833-Glenn33.
Speaker 20 That's 833-G-L-E-N-N-33.
Speaker 108 Roughgreens.com slash back. Do it now.
Speaker 108 Got no room to compromise.
Speaker 108 We gotta stand together if the corners of night
Speaker 108 stand up straight and hold the line.
Speaker 108 It's a new day of time to
Speaker 108 to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenbach program.
Speaker 132 Wow, remember all the big missile parades?
Speaker 24 If you were my age, you saw from the Soviet Union growing up?
Speaker 132 Well, Victory Day was commemorated yesterday with a big military parade, and Putin gave a speech about
Speaker 31 Ukraine.
Speaker 68 Didn't declare war, but also didn't declare victory.
Speaker 47 What are we headed for?
Speaker 24 I thought I would ask a friend of the program, Jack Barski.
Speaker 14 He's a former Soviet spy.
Speaker 20 He is the author of Deep Undercover.
Speaker 31 He's also the guy that the Americans used as a consultant.
Speaker 5 on that to get the story right.
Speaker 10 He also has a podcast documentary called The Agent.
Speaker 46 If anybody knows how to read the tea leaves, Jack may be one of the few.
Speaker 24 We talked to him in 60 seconds.
Speaker 14 Mary wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor. She says, Dear Relief Factor, I'm so happy.
Speaker 14 I've been on the product for five days now, and I can't believe the difference it's already made in my life. Before I started taking it, I could hardly get up the stairs.
Speaker 20 Now I can go up and down without any pain whatsoever, and it is amazing.
Speaker 32 I want to order the 90 pack.
Speaker 97 I never want to run out of this wonderful, wonderful stuff.
Speaker 28 Thank you, Relief Factor.
Speaker 14 Relief Factor is not a drug. It was developed by doctors and has four key ingredients that work with your body to fight inflammation, which causes most of our pain.
Speaker 14 The three-week quick start developed for you is $19.95, and it's a trial pack.
Speaker 11 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered it and tried it, and about 70% of them go on to do exactly what Mary just did.
Speaker 32 It's relieffactor.com or call 800-4 Relief, 1-800-FOR
Speaker 32 the number for Relief, or ReliefFactor.com.
Speaker 47 Feel the difference.
Speaker 96 This is from the audio podcast, The Agent.
Speaker 34 The year was 1988, and Jack Barski had been in the United States for over 10 years.
Speaker 34 Like anyone living in the hustle and bustle of New York City, the site of the skyline, peppered with so many tall buildings, never got old.
Speaker 34 He had made this city a home, a home he knew better than most native New Yorkers, having explored nearly every street by foot or by bicycle. He loved his job as a software developer at MetLife.
Speaker 34 He adored his coworkers, and he finally felt like he was fitting in. He was meant to be here.
Speaker 34 He lived in a modest apartment with his wife and young daughter, and they considered looking for a bigger place now that there were three in the family.
Speaker 34 Even though his days were long and his commute to and from Manhattan made it even longer, he rushed back home every night to see his little princess one last time before she went to bed.
Speaker 34 Jack Barski was living the American dream. But this dream was about to take a sudden and unexpected turn.
Speaker 172
Town has taken refuge there. The news watch never stops.
It's 42 degrees in clear in New York, going down to 29 degrees in Midtown. 43, an hour WINS shot.
Speaker 169 I would probably wake up typically about
Speaker 25 7,
Speaker 169 have a bowl of cereal
Speaker 169 and get on my way.
Speaker 169 I lived in Queens.
Speaker 169
I had about a 12-minute walk to the subway. This was in December.
It was still dark at that time. I'm not a morning person, so I'm just like walking, sort of in a daze.
Speaker 170 I
Speaker 169 went along a path that I had communicated to the center. They needed to know this because there was a spot on that path where they were able to put signals.
Speaker 169 So every morning when I get to a supporting post for the elevated A-train, I would just take a look and nothing ever was there.
Speaker 34 But on this cold December morning, Jack noticed something different as he approached the subway station.
Speaker 107 This is really odd.
Speaker 169 I get a little closer and there was this red dot, the fist-sized red dot.
Speaker 93 That screamed at me.
Speaker 169 What it was saying is danger.
Speaker 17 Get out of here.
Speaker 169 Immediately.
Speaker 170 Don't go back home.
Speaker 17 Don't go to work.
Speaker 169 Retrieve your reserve documents.
Speaker 169 I had a set of Canadian documents that I had hidden in a park someplace. And make a beeline to the Canadian border where eventually you get further instructions and that's how we get you out of here.
Speaker 169
That's all I knew. Danger, do this.
This was part of the plan.
Speaker 34 Jack had received a signal.
Speaker 51 A code read.
Speaker 34 The red dot was a signal from the center, the home of KGB headquarters back in Moscow, and was part of an elaborate system of graphic signals used for communication.
Speaker 34 In the 10 years he had spent in America, Jack had regular secret communication with other Russian agents, agents he never actually met in person.
Speaker 34 But until today, Jack had never received the danger signal.
Speaker 118 This is from the podcast, The Agent, and Jack Barski is with us now.
Speaker 45 Hi, Jack.
Speaker 93 How are you?
Speaker 173 I'm good.
Speaker 173 Good morning, and thank you. I feel honored to be
Speaker 173 called a friend of the Glen Beck program.
Speaker 173 Can I have that in writing?
Speaker 43 It'll probably get you in more trouble with the FBI and others, I think, at this point, Jack.
Speaker 58 But thank you so much.
Speaker 136 You're an amazing man who've lives an amazing life.
Speaker 37 And had we talked in the 80s, I wouldn't have said that.
Speaker 131 But you have turned into a great friend of the United States.
Speaker 139 And I think what, you know,
Speaker 131 I'm not going to reveal anything that is in the agent.
Speaker 23 I just wanted to talk to you, Jack, because
Speaker 45 something is happening here with this Ukraine situation, and I feel like everybody's pushing for war.
Speaker 115 And
Speaker 76 I'm not so excited about that because
Speaker 31 this seems like this could quickly
Speaker 149 become a nightmare of world war proportions.
Speaker 173 You are so right. And
Speaker 173
we have to expect that Russia makes a lot of noise. This is what Putin does.
And they threaten.
Speaker 173 But what's happening in the United States and in other Western countries, we have a bunch of armchair warriors who are playing politics
Speaker 173 with a situation that could easily
Speaker 173 be accelerated into what you just call the World War III.
Speaker 173 The first time I cringed when
Speaker 173 our president called Putin a war criminal,
Speaker 173 did that move the needle one way or the other? I said, shut up. Don't talk, act.
Speaker 173 Because
Speaker 173 going back and forth could easily, you know, Putin just might get triggered by that.
Speaker 173 He is not
Speaker 173 very amenable to being criticized. And
Speaker 173 that's a fact. It's a proven historic fact.
Speaker 25 Jack,
Speaker 76 tell me, because I've gone back and forth in my head, other than them being incredibly different people,
Speaker 134 Ronald Reagan called Russia
Speaker 48 an evil empire and called for the destruction of it.
Speaker 122 And I know reading history that the Kremlin, I think it was
Speaker 83 and drop off,
Speaker 20 really was quite a paranoid guy and thought for sure that the United States under Reagan would
Speaker 48 launch missiles in a first strike. What's the difference between then and now?
Speaker 48 Well, first of all,
Speaker 173 you're right about Andropov and his paranoia. He thought,
Speaker 173 and I was aware of that.
Speaker 173 He started an opera called Operation Ryan, where everybody,
Speaker 173 every KGB agent who operated in the West had to look out for signs of war.
Speaker 173 But there was,
Speaker 173 in those days,
Speaker 173 the Soviet Union was already weakened
Speaker 173 and there was more fear than
Speaker 173
active aggression. The Soviet rulers did not want to go to war.
And I think Vladimir Putin is very aggressive, and
Speaker 173 he's maneuvered himself into this
Speaker 173 position.
Speaker 173 He's on a one-way street with no side street to duck into.
Speaker 116 Yeah.
Speaker 91 And the do you think he's
Speaker 27 in his speech that he gave where he talked about a new Russia being born,
Speaker 76 was that misinformation or is this
Speaker 122 do you think he really believes that?
Speaker 173 Oh, no,
Speaker 173 he has not made a secret of that. You know,
Speaker 173 a couple of years ago, I think he wrote an essay, a lengthy essay,
Speaker 173 about what he wants to do, and he wants to restore Russia's greatness, not the Soviet Union,
Speaker 173 mind you, Russia's greatness. And, you know,
Speaker 173 this is his
Speaker 173
life, okay? This is him. He is Russia.
And
Speaker 173 he has,
Speaker 173 you know,
Speaker 173 he's convinced himself that
Speaker 173 some greater power, I think he pretends to be a believer now.
Speaker 173 He does pretend to be a believer. I don't know if he does believe in God, but he thinks he's been appointed to do just that.
Speaker 121 That's a little frightening.
Speaker 117 So
Speaker 57 what are we doing that we
Speaker 74 I mean we came out for the first time, Jack, that I know of and confirmed that we sunk the Russian flagship in the Black Sea
Speaker 92 and that we confirmed that we are giving them all kinds of targeting information to target their generals.
Speaker 97 We are just beating our chest in a very terrifying way.
Speaker 97 Well, I don't know who we is.
Speaker 99 There's some leaker, right?
Speaker 173 And then the media printed it.
Speaker 173 The Pentagon and
Speaker 173 Biden have denied that. Now,
Speaker 173 we do admit that we provide intelligence,
Speaker 173 but
Speaker 173 to say that we contributed to the destruction, make this statement that we have proof,
Speaker 173 that's an exaggeration. My God, this country is populated by leakers, and
Speaker 173 everywhere you go, where you're supposed to keep things secret, it leaks out.
Speaker 153 So, what do you see happening here, Jack, as you're sitting watching all of this stuff unfold?
Speaker 148 Somebody who grew up under that system, you probably know geopolitics, at least
Speaker 48 from a historic sense, probably better than most.
Speaker 6 So,
Speaker 173 to understand
Speaker 173 what's going on here,
Speaker 173 you need to put yourself into the shoes of Vladimir Putin, his leadership, and the Russian people in general. And
Speaker 173 Putin looks at this conflict as a conflict between himself and the West, not just Ukraine.
Speaker 173 He isn't just saying it, he believes it. Because this kind of thinking is rooted
Speaker 173 in Russian history.
Speaker 173 The Russian people and the Russian leaders have always been paranoid for a good reason. Ever since
Speaker 173 Russia was founded, it has been attacked from all sides, from the north, east, west, south.
Speaker 173 It was the Mongols, it was the Turks, it was the Vikings, it was Napoleon, and it was Hitler. So
Speaker 173 there's a paranoia
Speaker 173 gene in the Russian DNA, and Putin believes that
Speaker 173 the West is coming after him.
Speaker 37 And this only gets worse
Speaker 101 as we shut down all of the financing and pull all of our people
Speaker 64 out. And when I say our people, pull all of our...
Speaker 48 all of our financial systems and any of our businesses out of Russia.
Speaker 110 That has to speak volumes.
Speaker 173 It does, but I don't think it is as powerful as Americans like to believe because Putin,
Speaker 173
we know that he's not stupid. He expected that.
And when you look at what's happening right now, the ruble has stabilized.
Speaker 173 Putin still is
Speaker 173 I think in the last two months, he got more oil and gas revenue than in the five months before.
Speaker 173 And he has allies. I mean, right now, China is allied with him, and
Speaker 173 India is
Speaker 173 at best neutral. Right.
Speaker 173 So he is not, you know,
Speaker 173 this is like
Speaker 173 his economy
Speaker 173 is like a set of gears that will have to deal with some sand. But I don't think we can bring him down to his knees.
Speaker 63 All right, back in just a second
Speaker 136 with the agent.
Speaker 131 He is a former Soviet spy from the United States.
Speaker 35 He was deep undercover.
Speaker 48 He was born in East Germany, came over here to spy for the Russians.
Speaker 131 Fascinating guy.
Speaker 15 We'll continue our conversation with Jack Barski here in just a second.
Speaker 167 American Financing, NMLS, 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
Speaker 35 First, let me tell you about American Financing, America's home for home loans.
Speaker 133 I really truly believe that you can benefit from a 10-minute phone call, just a quick mortgage review.
Speaker 48 It's free, no obligation conversation about your current loan, and maybe about your debts and your high-interest credit cards to see if one of their salary-based mortgage consultants can help you.
Speaker 85 Let them run the numbers for you.
Speaker 123 See if maybe they can save you $1,000 a month.
Speaker 85 If they can, you'll be moving forward with a new custom loan that saves you a lot of money every single month.
Speaker 153 And if they can't save you any money, they're just going to let you know.
Speaker 32 It's what works best for you for your goals.
Speaker 55 Family-owned business that is still family-focused.
Speaker 57 They never charge you any upfront or hidden fees, just the facts.
Speaker 92 Call them now.

Speaker 43 10 seconds, station ID.
Speaker 33 So, Jack, do you feel we are close to war?
Speaker 173 Well, you're obviously closer to war than we were just a few months ago, right?
Speaker 173 Are we close to nuclear war?
Speaker 173 You know, it's partially wishful thinking, but partially also
Speaker 173 there's some reality behind that,
Speaker 173 my believing that we're not that close. I mean, Putin
Speaker 173 in his speech did not threaten nuclear,
Speaker 173 you know, exploding some nuclear missiles.
Speaker 173 It was like status quo, let's keep on going, you know?
Speaker 173 And I believe this conflict is going to drag on for a long time well and that's better than the alternative
Speaker 173 you bet but uh
Speaker 173 there's a there's a secondary war here and the secondary war is economic all right because you know western europe is is i think in great danger we as the united states economically are not as much in danger because we we have all the natural resources Western Europe,
Speaker 173 they're so dependent on with regard to the energy
Speaker 173 that
Speaker 173 if that war drags out for a long time, they will be severely weakened.
Speaker 76 Well, we're not doing anything with our energy.
Speaker 43 And I tell you, Jack, I look at this and I think if I were a
Speaker 131 former Soviet spy and still could think like the other side,
Speaker 28 I'd be thrilled with what America was doing right now.
Speaker 63 We are dismantling ourselves.
Speaker 87 We have gas prices going through the roof.
Speaker 141 We haven't even hit the summer.
Speaker 138 We could be at $5 a gallon for the summer and maybe $7 or $8 for trucks, which will just cripple the nation.
Speaker 173 I just want to make one statement, which is not necessarily political, because there's one thing about talking about the ideology that
Speaker 173 runs rampant
Speaker 173
in the Democrat Party. But we are currently led by a bunch of people who don't don't know how to get things done.
They don't know how to execute. And, you know, we're shooting ourselves in the foot.
Speaker 173 And, you know,
Speaker 173 you know that
Speaker 173 the energy policy is driven by ideology, and that's global warming.
Speaker 97 It's almost a religion.
Speaker 173
Oh, yeah, it is. Absolutely.
With Greta being the patron saint.
Speaker 84 You know, you lived in East Germany.
Speaker 122 How old were you when you left East Germany?
Speaker 173 When I left East Germany, I was 26 because I went first to Moscow to improve my English. And
Speaker 173 when I came to the United States, I was 29.
Speaker 76 So you're 29 years old.
Speaker 71 You were recruited by the KGB.
Speaker 35 You were trained
Speaker 136 in all of these things.
Speaker 51 And you being from East Germany, I would assume, you know, you were very well aware of the spying that they did and the manipulation of people that they did.
Speaker 41 Did you notice that?
Speaker 6 Did you know that when you joined the KGB, that they were...
Speaker 139 Or were you just patriotic kind of our side versus their side?
Speaker 173 I was a patriot, but I also was a revolutionary. I was
Speaker 173 going to contribute to, you know, build the paradise, the workers' paradise on earth.
Speaker 173 And I was ideologically 100% behind the Soviet Union, East Germany, KGB, the Stasi,
Speaker 173 simply because of ignorance.
Speaker 173 This is what happens in
Speaker 173 a state where all communication is regulated and is owned by the state.
Speaker 173 We never got the truth.
Speaker 109 So that's where I want to pick up our conversation.
Speaker 133 We'll come back, take a quick break.
Speaker 39 I want to pick it up there.
Speaker 58 What are the things that you saw in
Speaker 6 East Germany and Russia that you realized were bad that are seemingly starting up here, or am I mistaken?
Speaker 5 Our conversation with Jack Barski continues in just a minute.
Speaker 5 The Glenn Back Program.
Speaker 113 Some causes are not conservative or liberal.
Speaker 130 They're just American causes, and we should be contributing when we can.
Speaker 53 There's a great cause, a great charity, Tunnel to Towers.
Speaker 168 It's a foundation, and Charity Navigator rates them four out of four.
Speaker 45 Since 9-11,
Speaker 35 Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been supporting America's heroes and their families, and when a first responder or military service member doesn't come home and young children are left behind, Tunnel to Towers pays off their mortgage to lift their financial burden and bring their family to stability.
Speaker 28 They also enable severely injured heroes to live more independent lives with free, smart homes.
Speaker 63 And Operation Home Base, Tunnel to Towers, is gifting tiny homes to homeless veterans.
Speaker 47 These are our heroes.
Speaker 55 These are the people that we should, as community members, be helping ourselves.
Speaker 30 Join Tunnel to Towers on their mission to do good in their honor.
Speaker 63 Donate $11 a month at t2t.org.

Speaker 160 A guy I find absolutely fascinating is Jack Barski.
Speaker 50 He He is a former Soviet spy that was arrested by the FBI, I think, around 1990-something.
Speaker 64 Jack, what year was it?
Speaker 88 The FBI stopped you?
Speaker 88 I was not arrested, by the way.
Speaker 173 I was detained.
Speaker 4 Detained? Okay.
Speaker 51 There's a big difference.
Speaker 100 Yeah, all right. There is.
Speaker 98 There is.
Speaker 173 1997.
Speaker 119 97, okay.
Speaker 124 And he is, his story is the audio documentary and podcast, The Agent, which if you haven't haven't listened to, is great, just fantastic.
Speaker 120 Listen to it.
Speaker 153 So, Jack, you were born in East Germany, recruited by the
Speaker 22 KGB.
Speaker 26 You assumed the identity of a U.S.-born citizen.
Speaker 31 You spied here in the United States for 10 years on corporate America.
Speaker 132 Then you became a trusted source for the FBI.
Speaker 33 You started to
Speaker 121 the
Speaker 122 Soviet story, if you will, the things that drove you
Speaker 138 as somebody who is willing to go in and possibly lose their life for their country, started to fall apart when
Speaker 173 it started crumbling when I entered the workforce as a professional.
Speaker 173 Okay, so because then I became sort of a functioning member of American society. And all the
Speaker 173 things that we were taught, how evil American corporations are, and how workers are being suppressed, turned out to be just damn lies.
Speaker 173 But that didn't necessarily make me an anti-communist right away.
Speaker 173 Many other things had to happen. And
Speaker 173 what really triggered me finally doing some investigation as to whether
Speaker 173 I knew the truth or not was when the Berlin Wall came down.
Speaker 173 And that was at a time when the internet was available to do research. And one by one, all of these
Speaker 173 beliefs that I had fell apart.
Speaker 173 So I just withdrew at that point. I decided to, you know, just going to be a private citizen and
Speaker 173 not take any more political stance.
Speaker 142 But
Speaker 173 then 9-11 happened,
Speaker 173 and, you know, and at at that point,
Speaker 173
I became emotionally an American. And what actually made me a fan of the United States as it was initially constructed is I took a 10-part online course on the American Constitution.
Wow.
Speaker 142 Wow.
Speaker 173 And to me, that is the most brilliant political document I have ever read and heard about. It is.
Speaker 92 It is. It's phenomenal.
Speaker 90 So, Jack,
Speaker 55 when you see things like the
Speaker 35 truth panel or disinformation panel from the DHS or the violence on the street that's called
Speaker 156 a protest or just vandals,
Speaker 35 and yet January 6th are terrorists and held with some of them without charge now for over a year.
Speaker 69 We now have Twitter and Facebook and Google monitoring things and editing things.
Speaker 58 Teachers' unions now are demanding more censorship from
Speaker 87 Facebook.
Speaker 79 Does this ring a bell to you at all?
Speaker 4 Yeah, well,
Speaker 4 I told you that,
Speaker 173 you know, I was fundamentally brainwashed. And the bottom line is
Speaker 173 in a country, in a in a society where you control the message, you will be in charge. And
Speaker 173 you know,
Speaker 173
our messages were totally controlled. Putin manages to control the messages in his country to not 100%.
There's some leakage.
Speaker 173 And
Speaker 173 at this point,
Speaker 173 the left in cahoots with the media, in cahoots with big tech, is working on taking
Speaker 173
control of the message universe. It's not that easy in our country.
You know, you're still on the air.
Speaker 155 Yeah.
Speaker 173
And, you know, and Elon Musk just bought Twitter. It's not that easy.
We are a rebellious nation.
Speaker 173 We are contrarians. We want to hear the other side.
Speaker 173 But
Speaker 173 it's a slippery slope. And
Speaker 173 if it doesn't get reversed,
Speaker 173 goodbye,
Speaker 173 the country that was once America.
Speaker 84 How do you convince people,
Speaker 57 a new generation that are being indoctrinated?
Speaker 55 How do you convince them of freedom of speech that actually means you have to tolerate the other side?
Speaker 173 I honestly, I don't have an answer. And this is really
Speaker 173 what is
Speaker 173 the biggest danger,
Speaker 173 the root cause of why
Speaker 173 it is quite reasonable to be pessimistic here. We're already into the second generation
Speaker 173 of Americans that have been raised, educated in high school and college by leftists.
Speaker 173 And
Speaker 173 this is the
Speaker 173 it started with
Speaker 173 the anti-Vietnam
Speaker 173 War Vietnam movement,
Speaker 173 where
Speaker 173 a whole bunch of students
Speaker 173 became radicalized with left-wing ideas and they became college professors and they raised and they taught the next generation of teachers. So
Speaker 173 it's very difficult
Speaker 173 to run up against
Speaker 173 prejudices in young minds that
Speaker 173 were planted as they were young.
Speaker 173 I have proof of that because when I went back to East Germany, to to Germany after so many years, and I had discussions with
Speaker 173 contemporaries,
Speaker 173 folks that I went to school and college with, you think
Speaker 173 they have been able to shed all their communist ideology?
Speaker 161 No.
Speaker 173 What is planted in you as a young person is very difficult to reverse.
Speaker 173 I had the luxury of a slow
Speaker 173 and painless decontamination.
Speaker 173 Most of my friends and
Speaker 173 classmates in Germany
Speaker 173 did not.
Speaker 173 And that is the reason I'm worried about the future of this country, because
Speaker 173 I really don't know how you...
Speaker 173 It would be,
Speaker 173 you know,
Speaker 173 all of us
Speaker 173 free thinkers would have to make an effort and work on the the young people that
Speaker 173 we are in contact with, and
Speaker 173 we might
Speaker 173 be able to influence, but it takes a huge effort, and all of us need to participate in that.
Speaker 22 If you had
Speaker 121 your children, you have one child, right?
Speaker 173 Oh, altogether I have five. You have five.
Speaker 4 Good for you. Yeah.
Speaker 74 If your children were school age, would you have them in our schools today?
Speaker 173 Well, I have one of them. She's school age, and she has never been in a public school, and she will not be in a public school.
Speaker 173 She is currently enrolled in a Christian school where, interestingly enough, they teach how to think and how to argue. Yeah.
Speaker 173 and how to make and how to you know how to you know just like they they they do exactly uh the opposite of what uh you know Christian schools are being, but yes, and also what, you know, the rest of society thinks that what's happening in Christian schools where they teach nothing but memorizing the Bible.
Speaker 173 Uh-uh.
Speaker 7 Jack, thank you so much for talking to us.
Speaker 6 And I really appreciate it.
Speaker 141 And I've really enjoyed not only your book, but also your podcast.
Speaker 143 It's really quite riveting.
Speaker 17 Very, very good.
Speaker 173 Well, thank you so much. And I appreciate
Speaker 173 how you actually positioned me at the beginning of the program.
Speaker 173 I'm very grateful for that. Thank you.
Speaker 48 You're very kind, Jack.
Speaker 131 Jack Barski, former Soviet spy.
Speaker 130 He is also the storyline of The Agent, the podcast audio documentary, and the author of Deep Undercover.
Speaker 64 He was a guy that was one of the consultants on the Americans, if you've never seen that.
Speaker 136 It's quite an amazing series as well.
Speaker 62 Jack Barski, again, a good friend of the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 63 So what are you paying for your cell phone every single month?
Speaker 65 Expensive?
Speaker 37 How much of that money is actually going to help Planned Parenthood?
Speaker 12 Do you know? How much of it would you want it to go to help Planned Parenthood?
Speaker 45 Yeah, my guess is zero.
Speaker 133 And that's why I'm not with Verizon.
Speaker 124 I don't want any of my money going to far-left activities.
Speaker 6 And, you know, they have a right to do whatever they want with their money, but I put some of that money into it.
Speaker 74 So I don't want my money going there.
Speaker 57 And I don't want my money supporting people that are trying to tear everything down that we believe in.
Speaker 132 That's why I have Patriot Mobile.

Speaker 169 This is the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 123 So
Speaker 23 I don't know if you saw what Elon Musk posted.
Speaker 45 He posted a screenshot of a translated message from Moscow's space chief.
Speaker 97 And it said, from the testimony of the captured commander of the 36th Marine Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Dmitry
Speaker 45 Kormaninov, it turns out, the internet terminals of Elon Musk's Starlink satellite company were delivered to the militants of the Nazi Azov Battalion.
Speaker 101 According to our information, the delivery of the Starlink equipment was carried out by the Pentagon.
Speaker 43 Elon Musk, thus, is involved in supplying the fascist forces in Ukraine with military communication equipment.
Speaker 69 And for this, Elon,
Speaker 70 you will be held accountable
Speaker 29 like an adult, no matter how much you play the fool.
Speaker 69 First, Elon
Speaker 112 tweeted, the word Nazi doesn't seem to mean what he thinks it means, which I love.
Speaker 136 And then he said, if I die under mysterious circumstances, it's been nice knowing you.
Speaker 66 This guy has made enemies of everybody.
Speaker 6 Absolutely everybody.
Speaker 98 You know, powerful.
Speaker 101 Can you imagine if somebody took him out?
Speaker 127 I mean, would you know who it was?
Speaker 3 No, everybody seems to be
Speaker 103 upset with him in one way or another.
Speaker 25 I mean, what he's done in Ukraine is amazing.
Speaker 107 I mean, forget about, obviously,
Speaker 3 the thing here is for the Russians to point out that the military is using the internet here to communicate.
Speaker 3 But, I mean, honestly, just for the average person who, you know, the internet would be toast in Ukraine if not for
Speaker 3 Elon Musk, just for the regular people to be able to access information. It would be gone if not for Elon Musk, who just decided to act in a way that, you know,
Speaker 3 before, what, a year ago would not have been possible? Yeah.
Speaker 66 Did you hear that?
Speaker 3 Did you ever see these satellites by the way over your head, Glenn? Have you ever seen the Starlink satellites go by?
Speaker 25 No, I haven't. It looks like Santa Claus.
Speaker 3
There's like a long, in the middle of the night, I looked up one night and I was like, what the hell? This is before I knew Elon Musk was even doing this. Yeah.
What is that?
Speaker 3 And it's like a long string of satellites, like seemingly that go on forever, and they just come across the sky, all like spaced evenly apart and just go across the sky. It's really weird to see.
Speaker 127 So, up in the uh, up at my ranch, uh, I just put Starlink in.
Speaker 63 Oh, really?
Speaker 139 And we just tested it over the weekend to see how stable it is.
Speaker 119 Uh, and it's completely stable.
Speaker 48 And the um, the word from my uh chief engineer was:
Speaker 146 somehow or another, he has seemingly
Speaker 36 solved or affected the light speed problem
Speaker 36 because he's cut delays back
Speaker 49 like a phenomenal amount to where, you know, you and I, when I'm up the ranch, we have a hard time talking to each other on air because it's the satellites are so slow.
Speaker 63 He says he's cut it in half.
Speaker 100 That's really great.
Speaker 136 It's an amazing, amazing device.
Speaker 69 And listen to this.
Speaker 88 This is from the director of electronic warfare at the office of the Secretary of Defense.
Speaker 98 Okay.
Speaker 122 This guy is in charge of our electronic warfare.
Speaker 36 He said
Speaker 171 Starlink was able to fight off the attack faster than the U.S.
Speaker 48 military could have been able to, and that officials need to learn something from Musk.
Speaker 57 Starlink had slung a line of code and fixed it,
Speaker 133 noting that the quick change rendered the attack not effective.
Speaker 41 How they did that was
Speaker 48 eye-watering to me.
Speaker 133 There's really an interesting case to study and look at the agility that Starlink had in their ability to address this problem.
Speaker 133 In the way that Starlink was able to upgrade when a threat showed up, we need to have that agility.
Speaker 12 That's the United States government.
Speaker 3 It's amazing. And I keep seeing these pieces written by people talking about Elon Musk taking over Twitter that, look, I mean, there's a lot of hubbub here, but what's he really going to do?
Speaker 3 There's not going to be much of a change. Oh, I think
Speaker 3 what business has Elon Musk touched that there wasn't a huge change in.
Speaker 51 Yeah.
Speaker 3 I mean, this is what he does.
Speaker 3 When he takes over a business like this or starts one, he revolutionizes the industry.
Speaker 3 And I don't think there's any reason to believe he's not going to attempt and very well succeed and try to do the same at Twitter.
Speaker 59 If we have time, we should talk about it because he laid out some of his plan on Twitter, what he's going to do.
Speaker 130 It starts with laying off or firing a thousand employees,
Speaker 101 and then he's going to go back and he's going to hire more engineering people.
Speaker 49 No word on if he's hiring more content regulators.
Speaker 129 And then he's going to introduce something called Twitter Blue.
Speaker 116 Yeah.
Speaker 3 Twitter Blue already exists, right?
Speaker 62 No, no, no. He wants to...
Speaker 27 Yes, it does.
Speaker 70 I'm sorry.
Speaker 48 But he wants to build up the subscriptions to Twitter Blue.
Speaker 46 Yes.
Speaker 50 So he wants to make sure that people are doing that because he said that's the way to protect the speech because we won't have any sponsors.
Speaker 132 You don't have to worry about it. You don't have to worry about it.
Speaker 70 Or you have sponsors that don't mind what people say.
Speaker 3 I would absolutely pay a reasonable monthly fee to get a better experience on Twitter that isn't, you know,
Speaker 3 choreographed by a bunch of crazy leftists.
Speaker 10 Yep, I would love that.
Speaker 24 Me too, to actually see what's actually trending.
Speaker 6 Yeah, I would.
Speaker 160 Back in a minute.
Speaker 169 This is the Glenn Back Program.
Speaker 169 Got no room to compromise.
Speaker 169 We gotta stand together It's the corner surviving.
Speaker 169 Stand up straight and hold the line.
Speaker 169 It's a new day of time to rise.
Speaker 169 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
Speaker 99 This is the Glenback program.
Speaker 160 Hey,
Speaker 31 this is gonna be a surprise to you.
Speaker 18 But California says it needs more power to be able to keep the lights on this summer.
Speaker 51 Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 14 And other states are starting to join in going,
Speaker 38 we might be headed towards a problem because we keep shutting down plants before we're ready to shut them down.
Speaker 40 Who would have seen this coming?
Speaker 105 Who would have seen it?
Speaker 102 Besides everybody.
Speaker 20 All right, let me tell you about rough greens.
Speaker 11 Patricia wrote in about her dog's experience with rough greens.
Speaker 21 I put rough greens on my cockapoo's food.
Speaker 42 Yeah.
Speaker 22 Don't think I could do a cockapoo.
Speaker 30 Just for the name.
Speaker 22 Just don't think I could do it.
Speaker 84 He now eats early in the day.
Speaker 31 He used to eat like that when he was a puppy.
Speaker 27 Now he's like a puppy again.
Speaker 51 He's 10 years old.
Speaker 92 But he has a lot more energy now and
Speaker 37 he doesn't itch as much as he was itching before.
Speaker 133 Seems to be perfect for him.
Speaker 26 He licks the bowl clean every time.
Speaker 132 Rough Greens, not a dog food, it's something you put on your dog's food, and it's full of probiotics and antioxidants and all of these things.
Speaker 20 It's rough greens. Rough greens.
Speaker 138 They're so confident your dog's going to love it that they have a special deal for you.
Speaker 108 Just go to roughgreens.com/slash back,

Speaker 165 California energy officials on Friday issued a sober forecast for the state's electrical grid.
Speaker 118 They're saying now it lacks sufficient capacity to keep the lights on this summer
Speaker 126 and beyond.
Speaker 131 If heat waves and wildfires or other extreme events take their toll.
Speaker 129 May I just ask Californians,
Speaker 55 do you actually think that heat waves and wildfires
Speaker 61 are
Speaker 129 unexpected extreme events?
Speaker 165 Because as an outsider,
Speaker 90 it seems like every summer we go through this.
Speaker 21 And when I say we go through this, you go through this.
Speaker 111 But then we have to watch it and hear about all of the problems.
Speaker 110 And yeah, some of us go out, not me, but some of us go out to actually help
Speaker 134 put the fires out and everything else.
Speaker 89 And here you go say, This is crazy.
Speaker 13 This is, you know, it's global warming.
Speaker 56 No, it's really not.
Speaker 157 It's mismanagement of your forests, uh, for one.
Speaker 115 Uh, and
Speaker 60 you don't save any water, you know.
Speaker 56 And
Speaker 114 when you have rolling blackouts, it's it's not the trees' fault.
Speaker 94 Whose fault is it?
Speaker 38 Yours.
Speaker 60 Because you refuse to build any kind of reservoir for water or any electrical plant.
Speaker 65 But you feel so good about yourself, don't you?
Speaker 154 Because we don't have a single coal-fire plant, not one coal-fire plant in California.
Speaker 19 Yet, most of your electricity is still coming from coal-fire plants, just in another state.
Speaker 58 Oh my gosh, these people make me want to to vomit.
Speaker 40 As long as I don't see it.
Speaker 7 As long as it doesn't view the view of the, block the view of the mountains.
Speaker 31 You know, I don't want any of that smog here.
Speaker 115 We'd have smog in Nevada or Utah or one of those other bordering states.
Speaker 103 I don't even know what they are.
Speaker 88 They're so racist and bigoted.
Speaker 61 I hate them.
Speaker 96 I don't mind if you build 25 coal power plants over there.
Speaker 135 As long as we don't have the smog.
Speaker 162 Ugh.
Speaker 3 This comes from
Speaker 3 the California beaches that have the oil rigs right off the shore.
Speaker 25 Oh, yeah. Which I think actually looks pretty cool.
Speaker 3
I got to be honest with you. I think it looks, I mean, you know, you get the idea.
There's a lot of water out there. That's the normal ocean view.
You got some stuff to look at.
Speaker 3 I think it looks pretty cool, frankly.
Speaker 3 But yeah, no, it's a big, I mean, look, fossil fuels still dominate this country. I mean, coal has come down quite a bit over the past few years, but natural gas has replaced it.
Speaker 3 So, yes, it's a cleaner fossil fuel, but it is still a fossil fuel.
Speaker 57 So, they had an online briefing,
Speaker 88 and the officials are now forecasting a potential shortfall of 1,700 megawatts this year.
Speaker 83 And
Speaker 43 they say, if there's something unexpected,
Speaker 88 like a forest fire,
Speaker 91 not really extreme, not unexpected.
Speaker 58 Just want to say, they say it could go as high as 5,000 megawatts.
Speaker 72 So that's a lot of watts.
Speaker 84 That's enough to put about 4 million people in the dark without electricity.
Speaker 155 Yeah.
Speaker 123 Yeah.
Speaker 123 So, hmm.
Speaker 15 Oh, and there's, by the way, they also say your energy prices are going to increase in California between 4
Speaker 141 and 9%.
Speaker 21 I think
Speaker 116 if they're, if that's what they're saying, it'll be closer to 12 to 80%.
Speaker 58 But maybe that's just me.
Speaker 115 Now, there is a uh another group saying, hey, maybe we should slow down on this whole thing.
Speaker 148 Uh, and uh,
Speaker 7 uh, and that would be Jack Baer, the CEO of MISO.
Speaker 67 He came out yesterday and he said, as we move forward,
Speaker 74 know that when you put a solar panel or a wind turbine up,
Speaker 171 it's not the same
Speaker 93 as a thermal resource like coal or gas.
Speaker 86 He says the issue on the rise throughout the country
Speaker 20 and all throughout the West is many traditional and nuclear power plants are being retired to make way for the renewable sources of energy.
Speaker 3 But the plants are being turned off faster than the renewable energy and battery storage can keep up.
Speaker 110 John, did you you say that?
Speaker 159 Come on.
Speaker 87 I thought you were smarter than this.
Speaker 133 We have magic fairy dust that's going to make everything work.
Speaker 114 In your craziest,
Speaker 114 busiest kids are screaming. You're really pissed off because you're also hungry kind of moment.
Speaker 94 Somebody says to you, Hey, I got an idea.
Speaker 112 We're going to build these solar panels and things and wind power.
Speaker 14 And that should be a few years in the future.
Speaker 94 Should we turn off the nuclear power plant?
Speaker 114 At the height of the screaming of the kids, you're like,
Speaker 117 no,
Speaker 114 and don't bother me.
Speaker 58 Okay, don't you? Really?
Speaker 86 I mean, it's pretty logical.
Speaker 54 Wouldn't it be nice if we had both?
Speaker 154 If we had the solar and the wind and we kept that nuclear power plant running just in case we needed.
Speaker 39 Of course, that'll never happen because there's never a need for it.
Speaker 88 There's never a spike because of a heat wave or a forest fire or a mudslide or an earthquake.
Speaker 101 There's net, it'll never happen.
Speaker 126 Why keep the other power plant running very low
Speaker 56 so you could crank it if you needed it?
Speaker 161 Hmm.
Speaker 3
That's an interesting question. All I know is that all of this talk has convinced me even more to fully convert our economy to electric cars.
Because what could possibly go wrong with California?
Speaker 40 You know what kills me is Elon Musk is even coming out going, we can't do this.
Speaker 3 Stop it.
Speaker 125 I mean, he's the guy to release the charge.
Speaker 89 He's the guy that has become the richest guy in the world for pushing this stuff.
Speaker 70 And he's even like, Slow down.
Speaker 3 Even he's saying, hey, we may need to develop our fossil fuels for the near future, considering the global economic consequences and problems that we're having with energy.
Speaker 3 So a guy who honestly is what I would refer to as an environmental extremist is even coming out and saying that stuff.
Speaker 63 Well, he's only an extremist because
Speaker 139 he built a car company
Speaker 31 that really had no place to charge when he first started, you know, to charge the batteries.
Speaker 32 And then he's building rocket ships to go to Mars to get away from Earth because it's yeah, but other than that, he's not an extremist.
Speaker 43 He's not an extremist.
Speaker 134 I bet he's not pro-life.
Speaker 123 So
Speaker 36 the next story that you probably should pay attention to is diesel.
Speaker 157 We've been talking about this in the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 9 This is very important.
Speaker 9 Diesel fuel is the fuel that powers the economy.
Speaker 165 Now, how does that work?
Speaker 4 Well,
Speaker 57 let's start over in China.
Speaker 58 You want something from Ched?
Speaker 72 You have to put it onto a big boat, a slowboat from China.
Speaker 7 And that's powered by diesel.
Speaker 111 Then it gets to our docks here.
Speaker 78 And you know all of those big cranes and everything else that take that crap off of the ship and then put it on the ground?
Speaker 7 run by diesel. And then the forklifts that come and pick it up and then bring it over to the train, those run on diesel.
Speaker 56 And then the train, those engines run on diesel.
Speaker 154 And then the trucks that get it halfway across the country from the train, They're picked up again by the forklifts run by diesel.
Speaker 116 And then they're put into a truck also run by diesel.
Speaker 124 I love these people like, I'm not going to have to worry about anything because I have a Tesla.
Speaker 89 Yeah,
Speaker 37 I certainly hope that that grocery store that has food is within 400 miles of you.
Speaker 26 Because I don't think it will when all the diesel dries up.
Speaker 13 East Coast stockpiles are at their lowest since 1996.
Speaker 14 Diesel and jet fuel at New York Harbor are now $200 a barrel.
Speaker 123 Europe's move away from Russian energy is also hastening the rapid price appreciation.
Speaker 23 They are
Speaker 7 now bringing in 700,000 barrels a day of diesel from Russia, but they want to get out of that.
Speaker 121 You know, don't we all?
Speaker 6 Don't we all want to get out of that?
Speaker 74 But maybe we should have a plan before we stop doing stuff.
Speaker 71 They say that the rates for diesel are up now 90%.
Speaker 6 Not a big deal.
Speaker 62 Not a big deal.
Speaker 39 They're making biofuel now.
Speaker 16 They're reconfiguring all of these refineries that, don't worry, we haven't built a new refinery since when?
Speaker 63 1972?
Speaker 158 I got to believe those things are nimble, you know?
Speaker 69 There's no active.
Speaker 137 Seriously, if you bought a TV or a cell phone, well, well, there were no cell phones, a TV in 1972, are you telling me you wouldn't be getting the same crisp picture today
Speaker 62 that you could get, you know, at a Walmart for $100?
Speaker 45 I don't think so.
Speaker 28 There's no technology that hasn't been,
Speaker 83 you know,
Speaker 59 just made better since 1972.
Speaker 43 So here's what's happening.
Speaker 35 These refineries are trying to, that that don't make diesel, are now trying to retool to make diesel, but they make what?
Speaker 101 Say it with me, gasoline.
Speaker 41 And you know why everybody gets, why gas goes up?
Speaker 109 Because of California, some of these
Speaker 65 refineries, they retool so they could make special blends for everybody.
Speaker 83 And that causes problems.
Speaker 69 Well, now a lot of our refineries are trying to retool so they can make trucks or
Speaker 113 put the fuel in the trucks or the tractors of something called farms.
Speaker 110 And that's going to cause our
Speaker 84 gasoline to go up.
Speaker 32 I bet this summer, I bet we're paying over five bucks a gallon.
Speaker 28 And God only knows where diesel is going to be.
Speaker 3 I saw it,
Speaker 3
I was driving this weekend and saw the diesel prices. They're stunning.
They're over $5 a gallon now.
Speaker 79 Oh, yeah. I think they're close to six now.
Speaker 3 Well, I saw this weekend, and this is in like middle of nowhere, Oklahoma, and it was like $5.60 a gallon. I can't even imagine what these guys are paying.
Speaker 23 Yeah, I don't know how to go to the East Coast.
Speaker 3 I mean, what could it be, right? I don't even know. I mean, it's got to be completely ridiculous.
Speaker 41 But this is going to, you know, they like it at the Biden administration because it's going to help people transition.
Speaker 105 Yeah.
Speaker 141 You know, first, we won't have any
Speaker 92 real electricity.
Speaker 64 We won't have enough.
Speaker 19 We'll have those rolling brownouts all across the country which i think americans are going to be cool with you know
Speaker 15 i think we're really going to be cool with that i think i really honestly without any sarcasm i really think that they are building their own uh
Speaker 84 hangman stand i really do i think the left is pushing this country so fast, so quickly into things that are really insanity and everybody is going to pay for it That I think they're going to look and say, get out, get out,
Speaker 93 get out.
Speaker 57 I think they're going to actually push the global warming thing even back
Speaker 91 because people are going to be so angry at
Speaker 157 what they're being told they have to pay
Speaker 10 that
Speaker 41 I think these people are going to be voted out.
Speaker 157 As long as we still have free and fair elections,
Speaker 27 these people are going to be voted out because Americans are not going to put up with $5 a gallon gasoline and just take it.
Speaker 126 They're not.
Speaker 128 They can't.
Speaker 165 It's fascinating, too.
Speaker 86 Like, who is the biggest?
Speaker 3
You have the left saying global warming is this huge, huge crisis. It's the worst thing in the world.
And yet,
Speaker 3 who are the people that are constantly attacking Elon Musk? It's not conservatives.
Speaker 3 Conservatives are like, hey, this guy's, you know, we don't always agree with his climate stuff, but man, he's a pretty amazing guy and he's helping people and he's helping people.
Speaker 3 He's made the electric car something that people actually want to buy. Same thing on the other side with
Speaker 3 the real solution here.
Speaker 3 If you needed to solve global warming and have a zero-emission electricity option, it would be nuclear. And yet, who are the people constantly attacking nuclear? It's the Democrats, it's the left.
Speaker 2 It's not us.
Speaker 3 We're the ones encouraging it. We want it to be developed.
Speaker 164 And if they're shutting it down, and if you had nuclear,
Speaker 21 you could make an endless supply of hydrogen
Speaker 92 in the off hours when people are sleeping, you keep the plant running, same level, and you just make hydrogen.
Speaker 36 You have an endless support of clean, zero-emissions energy that you can clearly get and make more every single day.
Speaker 171 It's insanity.
Speaker 3 You can use that would be, you could use that for hydrogen vehicles if those were developed and then would be, obviously, in this situation. Or electric cars.
Speaker 3
I mean, you'd also have the electric, you'd have enough to go with the electric cars. You wouldn't need all of the craziness that they're trying to do now.
So
Speaker 3 why is that?
Speaker 63 Why is that?
Speaker 115 Because this isn't about anything except killing capitalism, killing the West.
Speaker 47 It's clear.
Speaker 106 There are two solutions, and they're all rolled into one, nuclear energy.
Speaker 15 I just saw this documentary, a scariest damn documentary I've ever seen about Three Mile Island.
Speaker 63 My gosh, you would think that it was nothing but killed a million children.
Speaker 3 But how did you make Three Mile Island scary? Because the maximum radiation
Speaker 3 was the equivalent of a full set of chest x-rays.
Speaker 52 No, still.
Speaker 165 Oh, my gosh. To any citizen.
Speaker 25 Oh my gosh, you got through the documentary.
Speaker 49 No.
Speaker 57 They never get down to exactly how much has been released.
Speaker 3 Oh, that's not part of the documentary.
Speaker 26 It was radiation that was released.
Speaker 71 Yeah.
Speaker 71 It's ridiculous.
Speaker 134 Anyway, let me tell you about Goldline.
Speaker 51 Wow.
Speaker 44 You remember when inflation was in?
Speaker 63 Yeah, it was really in back in the 70s and it's really in again.
Speaker 60 Inflation, the government will tell you that is running around 9%.
Speaker 3 No,
Speaker 133 no, the shadow stats where you can actually, you know, gauge, you actually include things like gas and rent.
Speaker 39 food, things like that.
Speaker 85 It shows that it's running at about 18%.
Speaker 63 Congratulations.
Speaker 79 Ask Forbes. Ask Forbes.
Speaker 84 GDP growth is negative and inflation is running high.
Speaker 63 Basic smart investment strategy. If the dollar is getting weaker, invest in whatever it's weaker than.
Speaker 133 Commodities are now like precious metals.
Speaker 20 You can weather a stagflation period if you have something that is holding its value.
Speaker 69 Gold will not get more and more expensive.
Speaker 90 It's that the dollar is getting cheaper and cheaper, so it can't buy as much.
Speaker 43 Goldline is giving away one of their most popular products ever: the Silver Maple Flex Bar.
Speaker 69 With every gold legal tender bar pack you acquire, you'll receive a free silver maple flex bar at no cost.

Speaker 59 10 seconds, station ID.
Speaker 27 By the way, we're going to get to the food facility fires here in just a second.
Speaker 82 Standby.
Speaker 3 And my computer is frozen, so the thing we were going to do here is not going to happen.
Speaker 4 Oh, really? Obviously.
Speaker 2 What's the problem with your computer?
Speaker 58 I think you just, I think you abuse your computer.
Speaker 142 I never have a problem with mine, ever.
Speaker 106 Mine likes me.
Speaker 3 Well, I don't.
Speaker 26 Like you.
Speaker 118 Oh, okay. Well, that kind of makes me feel bad.
Speaker 32 But we're going to go over your personal inflation here in a little while.
Speaker 9 Also, the food facility fires.
Speaker 157 Have you heard this?
Speaker 123 That
Speaker 20 food processing plants are all catching fire.
Speaker 160 I want to give you some perspective on this coming up in just a second.
Speaker 22 Stand by.
Speaker 22 The Glenn Back Program.
Speaker 155 So,
Speaker 48 I believe in the next couple of years, millions are going to die from starvation.
Speaker 6 I believe our leadership all over the world knows that as well.
Speaker 49 We're not going to have starvation deaths, I hope, not here in America, but we'll have hard times.
Speaker 161 But
Speaker 22 there are parts of the world that will actually starve to death because of what we are doing right now.
Speaker 158 May I suggest that you prepare for any hard times ahead by getting some emergency food?
Speaker 53 If food shortages
Speaker 143 really get bad here in America, are you prepared for it?
Speaker 59 Are you even just prepared for losing your job or things just getting so expensive?
Speaker 31 Please, please try.
Speaker 48 Preparewithglenn.com. Go there now.
Speaker 159 Go there now.
Speaker 28 Preparewithglenn.com. You'll save $150 on a three-month emergency food kit.
Speaker 31 It's a lot of money to save.
Speaker 68 Preparewithglenn.com.
Speaker 28 Save $150 on a three-month emergency food kit. Go there now.
Speaker 68 Preparewithglenn.com.
Speaker 3 Tune in in just a moment to find out your personal rate of inflation or to hear me light my computer on fire.
Speaker 132 welcome to the glenbeck program uh your personal inflation rate coming up in uh just a second i want to uh share with you from uh national review and jim garrity there is a There is a great story on the food facility fires.
Speaker 159 I've been asked about this over and over again, and we looked into it, and
Speaker 135 it doesn't seem to be out of the normal, believe it or not.
Speaker 63 Now, there are some things that, well, for instance,
Speaker 57 National Review writes, in a typical year, how many plane crashes do we have into food processing plants?
Speaker 88 What's your guess?
Speaker 101 How many planes crash into a food processing plant?
Speaker 3 I mean, say seven a week, 300.
Speaker 25 No, none?
Speaker 104 Yeah, none. Okay, zero.
Speaker 71 A bad year, maybe.
Speaker 45 One, one, okay.
Speaker 47 So, so far this year, we've had two.
Speaker 142 That's okay, that's May, yeah, and so you would think, hmm, there's something wrong, but two, I mean, it's really unlikely, but okay, okay, maybe, okay, I don't know how.
Speaker 63 All right, so let's look, let's look at everything that's been happening.
Speaker 7 A plane crashed into an Idaho potato and food processing plant, killing the pilot.
Speaker 36 Police say
Speaker 68 Gem Straight processing in Hayburn, East Idaho at about 8.35 in the morning on Wednesday.
Speaker 31 The pilot was the only person in the plane and died during the crash.
Speaker 37 Police said none of the employees at the processing plant were injured.
Speaker 43 Okay, so it had to be a kamikaze food plant guy.
Speaker 92 Okay, because he flew the plane into the plant.
Speaker 133 Then, just a couple of weeks later, Covington, Georgia, firefighters responded to a plane crash that killed two people Thursday at the General Mills food processing plant.
Speaker 87 The small plane crashed apparently after taking off from a runway at the Covington Municipal Airport.
Speaker 57 Six tractor trailers were damaged as a result of the crash.
Speaker 15 Both occupants of the plane died.
Speaker 51 However, local officials were grateful the plane did not strike the plant building, which could have resulted in greater loss of life.
Speaker 51 So, if you want to go for the plane crash idea,
Speaker 51 yeah,
Speaker 62 two plane crashes in or near food processing plants is weird.
Speaker 47 It is weird.
Speaker 83 But,
Speaker 127 well, let me go on.
Speaker 7 February 5th, massive, these are the headlines.
Speaker 146 Massive fire swept through Wisconsin River meets on Thursday, destroying part of the facility.
Speaker 73 Then February 22nd, the Shears Food Plant in Hermiston, Oregon caught fire after a propane boiler exploded.
Speaker 57 March 17th, a structure fire at the Walmart Distribution Center in Plainville, Indiana broke out about noon on Wednesday.
Speaker 37 A thousand employees were inside, but none were injured.
Speaker 63 One firefighter suffered minor injuries.
Speaker 146 March 22nd, a fire broke out at a Nestle hot pockets plant in George, in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Speaker 119 It happened on March 16th.
Speaker 157 The facility was still closed as of March 21st.
Speaker 146 March 25th, officials believe a deep frying machine is behind the fire that destroyed a potato processing facility facility in Belfast.
Speaker 97 April 13th, firefighters from several departments in Maine helped battle a massive fire that destroyed a butcher shop and meat market in Center Conway, New Hampshire.
Speaker 7 And April 30th, soybean processing tank caught fire at the Purdue Farms plant in Chesapeake, Virginia.
Speaker 72 Okay.
Speaker 148 I mean,
Speaker 72 that's a lot, right?
Speaker 98 That's a lot.
Speaker 63 Okay, so here's how we have looked at it, and this is exactly the way Jim Garrity has looked at it.
Speaker 101 Not all the fires or crashes did significant damage.
Speaker 43 In the Chesapeake soybean facility fire, the plant manager said the fire had little to no impact on their operations.
Speaker 19 In the Georgia crash, the plane didn't hit the building, no employees were harmed, and General Mills spokesperson said the plant didn't experience any disruption and remains fully operational.
Speaker 23 The pilot in that crash, by the way, was identified as a student pilot and the other person was the flight instructor.
Speaker 168 So, I mean, unless
Speaker 15 it was some sort of anti-food processing plant
Speaker 58 flight instructor that took that plane down and missed the plant, that's probably not one to count.
Speaker 43 Second, none of the fires so far have been declared cases of arson.
Speaker 108 This is really important because I, you know, I went looking at these and I thought to myself, I don't know, that seems like a lot.
Speaker 57 But when we really started looking, none of them have been deemed arson.
Speaker 35 And that's from coast to coast.
Speaker 64 If any of them had been deemed arson, two of them, I would have been like, well, let's look into this.
Speaker 108 In any given year, there are half a million fires reported to local fire departments.
Speaker 43 About 5,300 of them are manufacturing or processing facilities.
Speaker 32 That comes to about 440 per month.
Speaker 13 And if there are fires in 440 manufacturing or processing facilities a month from coast to coast, wouldn't we expect at least a handful of these to be at food processing facilities?
Speaker 86 In fact, the list above stretches the definition of food processing facilities because the Walmart Distribution Center also stored clothes and cardboard, and the New Hampshire fire happened at a local local butcher shop.
Speaker 63 Third, if you were a terrorist or a foreign agent or somebody in the deep state
Speaker 45 attempting to choke off the American food distribution network, would you start with a potato chip maker in Oregon or the source for hot pockets in Arkansas?
Speaker 57 Then move on to a soybean processing tank in Virginia.
Speaker 85 If you were a nefarious terrorist group or hostile foreign power and had not, you know, not merely one suicide pilot, but two of them, as in the case of the Georgia crash,
Speaker 18 who, why were they there?
Speaker 70 Why not use that third person to bring down another plane?
Speaker 7 You wouldn't bring a passenger along.
Speaker 28 And would you really aim for a potato processing plant in southern Idaho than the Georgia plant where they make cinnamon toast crunch?
Speaker 127 The U.S.
Speaker 22 had,
Speaker 57 as of 2017, the U.S.
Speaker 91 had 36,486 food and beverage processing establishments.
Speaker 136 What's most likely happening, according to Jim Garrity, is the Bader-Meinhoff phenomena.
Speaker 57 You may not know what the Baiter-Manhoff
Speaker 50 Meinhoff phenomena is, but you've experienced it.
Speaker 28 Have you ever gone to buy a car and then suddenly they're everywhere?
Speaker 25 Oh, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 48 That is that phenomenon.
Speaker 87 It's a frequency illusion that when things start to happen, and we are now looking at food shortages, we all know it. We also all know some things aren't being done by our government that are right.
Speaker 45 We also know
Speaker 113 there are people that, you know,
Speaker 43 like catastrophe and, you know, swim in really calm waters of catastrophe, as they look at it, never waste it.
Speaker 65 So we have these things percolating.
Speaker 97 And as you see one fire and then another, these are not out of the normal, and they're not arson,
Speaker 112 they're not terrorist strikes, and they don't seem to be affecting
Speaker 7 big plants.
Speaker 121 And that's what you would go after, are the big plants.
Speaker 154 That's really good news.
Speaker 105 That's really good news.
Speaker 3
And that sort of thing happens to everybody. I mean, on the left, it happens all the time.
One recent example was the Australian fires. Remember how big of a deal this was?
Speaker 3
Everyone was on, you know, online. They were running fundraisers.
And it was a big deal.
Speaker 3 I'm not saying the Australian fires a few years ago were not, but everyone was saying that, like, this is global warming, and look how terrible this is, and the environment, and weather weirding, and all of this.
Speaker 3 And at the end of the year,
Speaker 3 there was
Speaker 3 less square mileage burned in Australia than average That year, less than average.
Speaker 116 Isn't that crazy? Crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 63 And why is it happening to them? This is like when you're buying a new car, you're focused on that.
Speaker 25 When you're worried about global warming, you're focused on that.
Speaker 40 When you're worried about food shortages and you see things that you've not noticed before, it's because you weren't paying attention to it that way.
Speaker 62 How many times have we paid attention to a forest fire in Australia?
Speaker 51 Well, we paid attention that year because the the people who are running the news are talking about forest fires
Speaker 106 and global warming.
Speaker 3 That is what happens. And you get down the, and I think this happens all the time with global warming.
Speaker 3 Every time there's a moderately strange weather event that's slightly out of the ordinary, this is what it's blamed on every single time. And everyone's a meteorologist.
Speaker 99 And if you really want to know what's going to cause food shortages, it's Russia and Ukraine and our response to it.
Speaker 71 That's really what is going to cause
Speaker 97 the most problems of getting food all around the world.
Speaker 3 What about China and the COVID shutdowns that they're still kind of going through? That's it. That's big as well.
Speaker 57 Have you seen the Shanghai ports, the satellite photos from 2020 and then today?
Speaker 3 Incredible difference.
Speaker 165 It is
Speaker 96 today.
Speaker 3 It's backed up like crazy basically.
Speaker 87 Oh, it's like you're looking at the stars in the sky.
Speaker 5 There are so many ships out there.
Speaker 81 We are headed for real, real trouble, you know, in the next, I don't even know, three to six, seven months when it comes to items not being available.

Speaker 161 Inflation program.
Speaker 166 Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 38 We're so glad that you're here.
Speaker 81 Thank you for listening.
Speaker 122 The New York Times has just put together your personal inflation.
Speaker 127 And have you taken it yet?
Speaker 25 Stephen? You have.
Speaker 3 Yes, seven questions. Okay.
Speaker 25 And you have to answer them.
Speaker 3 Basically, the average rate is something like 8.5% is what they're saying now. Now we know there's varying calculations of that.
Speaker 3
But some basic questions help you figure out your own personal inflation rate. So let me ask you.
Let me give you the quiz here. Did you buy a car in the last year?
Speaker 3
I bought a new car, a used car, a new and used car, or I didn't buy a car. Used car.
Used car. Okay.
So now your inflation rate went from 8.5% up to 10.1%.
Speaker 99 Okay.
Speaker 3 How much do you drive?
Speaker 3 I don't drive or I use an electric car. I drive less than 150 miles per week, 150 to 400 miles a week, or over 400.
Speaker 16 So you figure out.
Speaker 147 I usually put about 12,000 miles on a car in a year.
Speaker 3 So let's see, 12,000 divided by 52 is
Speaker 3
230 miles. So between 150 and 400.
Okay, yeah. Okay.
That gets you from 10.1 to 10.3%.
Speaker 3 Okay.
Speaker 3
How much do you travel? I typically take three or more trips a year for you, right? Yeah. That's the highest number.
So that's going to get you up to 11.4%.
Speaker 3 Are you a vegetarian?
Speaker 106 No.
Speaker 3 Is there a total opposite? Okay, I am not a vegetarian. Now it goes you from 11.4 to 11.5%.
Speaker 3 Do you heat your home with oil?
Speaker 161 No.
Speaker 60 No, I don't.
Speaker 3 Okay, that brings you 11.5% back down to 11.4%.
Speaker 3 How often do you eat out?
Speaker 51 What about oil?
Speaker 63 You said oil.
Speaker 79 What about gas?
Speaker 3 It's just the only question is, do you heat your home with oil? I don't know. I didn't make the quiz up.
Speaker 105 This is made by an economist. Go ahead.
Speaker 3 I rarely eat out. I typically eat out one or two days a week or several days of the week.
Speaker 119 I'd say one or two.
Speaker 140 One or two.
Speaker 142 Okay.
Speaker 85 I would imagine that includes like, you know, Uber.
Speaker 3
Yes. Oh, yeah.
I would say that counts. I mean, you know, I don't know.
I might put you at three per week, but.
Speaker 52 Yeah, go ahead, put three.
Speaker 3
I mean, there is a Sonic cut by you every single day. So let's see, several days a week.
Okay. And then do you pay for school? I don't pay for school.
I pay for.
Speaker 149 Or don't pay for school.
Speaker 9 Pay taxes.
Speaker 142 Okay.
Speaker 3 Glenn, your inflation rate, 11.5%.
Speaker 3
So instead of 8.5, yours is 11.5%. Now, the biggest thing for you is going to be buying a used car, which is a big deal.
But
Speaker 3 just the driving and it made it a big deal as well, a difference as well to pop you up to 11.5%.
Speaker 65 I saw somebody selling a,
Speaker 136 what is it?
Speaker 159 It was a Range Rover, a Defender, one of those new Defenders.
Speaker 62 It was last year, and I think they're what, 120,000, something like that?
Speaker 154 I don't know.
Speaker 61 They were selling a used one for $180,000.
Speaker 60 Incredible. I thought,
Speaker 38 good work if you can get it, dude.
Speaker 89 But what are you going to drive?
Speaker 93 You know, you're not
Speaker 21 buying a used car, selling your car now, even if you can get that money.
Speaker 165 What are you going to replace it with?
Speaker 116 Yeah, that's really the problem.
Speaker 3 Yeah, there's really nothing. There's no way to just sell a car and, I mean, unless you're working at home, right? Maybe, maybe that would be a decision you might make and take an occasional Uber.
Speaker 25 I don't know.
Speaker 31 Yeah, that would be great because, you know, then we wouldn't, we could help the planet.
Speaker 147 If we all just sold our cars and just worked from home, wow, maybe we wouldn't have an oil shortage.
Speaker 126 Maybe we wouldn't have.
Speaker 129 Oh, it's enticing.
Speaker 3 It's enticing. We can go back to those glory days of March 2020.
Speaker 3 Oh, weren't those the days?
Speaker 137 Those were great.
Speaker 111 And if we're really lucky, we can go back to
Speaker 74 you know, where nobody had a car.
Speaker 42 Yeah.
Speaker 107 Oh, that'll be really fun.
Speaker 3 By the way, when I took this quiz, I had to say, no, I have not bought a car in the past year because I ordered one nine months ago, but I didn't actually.
Speaker 155 You haven't got it.
Speaker 100 Yeah.
Speaker 11 So what's your inflation rate?
Speaker 3
Mine was actually low. It was 8.2% or something, which is interesting.
I think I wasn't sure.
Speaker 38 Because that's vegetarian, too.
Speaker 3
Vegetarian helps me on that one. It's usually more.
Yeah, usually vegetarian eating is really expensive.
Speaker 62 But again,
Speaker 5 maybe we can get to a place to where no one can really afford meat except for like a special occasion.
Speaker 3 And if you want to have some good animal protein,
Speaker 3 have you thought about bugs?
Speaker 3 Because they're delicious and the delicacy.
Speaker 19 I'm surprised the New York Times didn't have that.
Speaker 18 Vegetarian or do you eat bugs?
