Great podcast.

Today,

you'll hear the voice of America.

You'll also hear the voices from the World Government Forum.

Yeah, one world government and a digital currency.

You'll hear it from the horse's mouth on today's podcast.

You're listening to

the best of the Blenbeck program.

Former Disney artist,

founder and creative director, Politozoid.

If you don't know what Politozoid is,

yes, you do.

About, I think about a year ago, I've lost track of time, a year ago, two years ago,

he came out with

a video of It's a Small World.

Here it is:

ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to It's a World World.

And you're going into It's a Small World.

The Communist Party in cooperation with the Communist Party paying for this

reimagined tomorrow.

It's a world

And

the animation is tremendous.

The production value is tremendous.

And it's done by a former Disney artist, and he's on with us now.

Hello, sir.

How are you?

I'm doing well.

Good morning, Glenn.

It's good to talk to you.

I have heard that you are coming out of the closet.

And I don't want to out you.

Is that true?

Yes.

I'm going to tell you that I identify as Bob Arvin.

Bob Arvin.

Well, that doesn't, just because you identify as Bob Arvin doesn't make you Bob Arvin.

But

I digress.

Well, my parents made me Bob Arvin.

So, Bob, you have...

You have been out of Disney, and

you have been making these things that go really against what Disney is doing.

And you've not attached your name.

Why?

Well, honestly, when I started about 12 years ago, I did put my name on there and I was doing some publicity on it.

I always just branded it as Kalitazoid and never really took that on as my own moniker.

As things progressed, I mean, I took a little bit of a break because we had funding during the 2010 election cycle that lasted about a year and a half.

And after that, we weren't able to get additional funding.

So I went back to just doing client work and the world changed.

And

especially when I jumped out

during the Trump administration and did the piece Shift Hits the Fan once

shared by Donald Trump.

Shift.

People get nasty.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So

tell us what's going on.

How long has Disney been like this?

You know, half the characters need to be LGBTQIA.

They're leaving out the two plus.

By the end of the year, and it does not seem like a tolerant place if you disagree with that as your mission.

No, it's really kind of changed over the last decade or so.

I mean, it's been over 20 years since I was there, but I know other people that stayed with the company.

And actually, through

a good deal of my last appearance on your show,

you know, a lot of Disney artists reached out to me

just to say thank you.

Others I'm working with now on projects.

And,

you know, so I've been able to get a little more of a line on

kind of what what how this developed.

I really think the turning point was the passing of Roy E.

Disney, who was Paul's nephew in 2009.

and I had heard a rumor when I was at Disney in the late 90s

that there was a film in development called Wildlife and a few of the artists that I reached out to yesterday when I knew I was going to be on your show were able to confirm what I had heard

and and this film it was going to be one of the first you know this was only a couple of years after Toy Story the first one came out right And

so Feature Animation was wanting to do CG character animation.

And they were developing this film.

And they,

I mean, they probably poured millions of dollars into it.

And they did a test clip.

And it had some homoerotic jokes in it.

And Roy Disney was watching the screening.

From what I understand, he stood up in the screening room, told the projectionist to turn the projector off.

And he announced he says we do not make films like this

and he shut it down and that was that

and

but I think in the since he passed and then also you know as the politics have changed in our nation I think that

you know I guess to put it in

you know, a not-so-savory term, there were sleeper cells of these kind of militant activists within the company that have been activated now.

And they're emboldened.

and they're using the smear campaign against the bill in Florida to push their agenda.

And really, it's kind of like an internal hostile takeover of Disney is what's happening right now.

So it used to be that.

You know, people like me would go to work for Disney because you're such a huge fan and I'd sweep the street if I had to because I was so in awe of what Walt had done and

the spirit of the place, that it was just a happy place to be where you could leave the world behind.

That's not it anymore.

What is the percentage, do you think?

Is

the majority of the employees on this bandwagon or are just the other employees just too afraid to say anything?

I think it's the latter.

I've spoken to several that still work for the company in one capacity or another, and they are afraid to deviate in any way, shape, or form.

I mean, there's, you know, some hardcore conservatives that I know that work there that HR will quiz them on gender pronouns, and if they don't say the prescribed answers, you know, you're probably not going to continue working there.

So

it's entirely possible that it's, you know, that the Disney company is like like a,

you know, exactly like what's happening in our own country.

It's like a small active minority is steering the ship.

And the majority are afraid to speak out or are only now just kind of waking up to what's going on and trying to figure out what can be done.

We're talking to Bob Arvin, former Disney artist and founder and creative director of Politizoid, which you've probably seen many of

these digitized cartoons, and they're fantastic

and rare because they're done with

real skill

and

they kind of hold up the right point of view, if you will.

And you just don't see that very often.

Bob,

the impact on our society.

I mean, right now we're fighting this stuff in our schools, but I think Disney will have a much bigger impact impact than schools will even have.

And I don't see parents standing up to Disney like they're standing up to

the school boards.

Well, I think before people kind of had, you know, an inkling that some of this might have been going on, but it was still kind of hidden.

And so you were still willing to subscribe to Disney Plus and go to the parks and,

you know, and still pretend like you're going to Waltz Park from the past.

But

now it's like with the footage that just came out this week, there's no doubt about the agenda and what's going on.

And I don't, it's those people in the footage are living in a bubble.

It's like they're all just kind of in a little circle, saying all the same things, encouraging each other to do and say the same things.

And

they don't know their core audience.

they are abandoning their core audience in favor of this agenda and

they they will if they don't destroy it it'll be damaged for a generation

um it's and it and it saddens me to say that i mean you know i i was an annual pass holder for years yeah

uh I would go down to the park just to listen to the piano player on Main Street while everybody else was in line to ride the riots.

But now, you know, it's like Disney doesn't even want the Southern California residents because they can, you know, they can really bilt the tourists coming from out of town for thousands of dollars.

Whereas, you know, those of us in Southern California are like, where's our discount?

And they're like, discount?

Are you kidding me?

Well, I will tell you that for a long time, you know, you would put up with it and, you know, you'd put up because it seemed like it just became all about the money.

And it was.

And that's what's happening again.

It's about the money.

They just don't want any trouble.

And,

you know, the people that they've always wanted at the park are not the angry militants.

It is just the average family.

And

I'm hoping that this is a line that the families will draw.

We've always had Disney.

I mean, it's gotten much more dicey in the last 10 to 15 years.

But this is now 50%

of everything they make is going to be LGBTQ.

That's a remarkable statement for them to make and come out with.

And hopefully people will say, you know what?

I don't want you teaching my kids anything.

I just want sweet stories.

Okay.

Preserve my children's innocence.

Please stop with jamming this down their throat.

And I don't care what it is.

I wouldn't want them talking about, you know, a conservative, hey, everybody, you got to go to this church.

I wouldn't want that either.

Leave my children alone, Disney.

Hopefully people will see it that way, but I don't know if they will.

Well, I think people are coming to the realization that this is another part of the attack on the American family.

And, you know, without the family intact,

you know, we start to crumble as a people, as a culture, as a nation.

And, And, you know, they didn't go after Warner Brothers.

They didn't go after Universal.

They didn't go after Sony.

They went after Disney.

Of course.

Because they knew that that was the one and only studio in Hollywood that upheld traditional American values and made family entertainment.

Yep.

And they know if you capture the kids, you've got it.

You win.

You win.

Thank you so much, Bob.

I appreciate everything that you do.

If you want to see his latest,

it's pretty good.

You can find it at politizoid.com.

Politazoid.com.

Bob, thank you.

Thank you, Glenn.

You bet.

Bye-bye.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

So, Stu is,

I don't know who made these.

It's really wrong.

The breakfast cereal that remembers when men were men, Wakeys, with Leah Thomas on.

Champion, Leah Thomas.

I have the

breakfast of female champions, Weenies

with Leah Thomas on the front.

And by the way, it would be so wrong of you if you went and you bought the new Weenies t-shirt.

You know, the breakfast cereal that says, hey,

wear your pride.

You eat weenies for breakfast.

You can go to weeniesforbreakfast.com and get this a new breakfast cereal.

Don't have any idea what it tastes like, but

it's a breakfast of champions.

Female champions.

Not going to eat it.

Not going to eat it.

Yeah, I've just made that decision.

Not going to eat it.

Well,

you want to,

you really want to, you really want to get the t-shirt now.

Yeah, the t-shirt is great.

The t-shirt is great.

I'm not going to eat the cereal, though.

I don't know what they've put into it, and I don't want to know.

Don't know.

By the way,

there's something else.

I received so much,

so many comments on something

that is based on Lady Columbia, which I'll explain some other time.

But I was thinking about American justice, and I painted this woman,

and she's draped in a flag, and when I posted it online, it was a reaction like I've never seen before.

So I've made this into a poster.

And every dollar that is raised by selling this poster is going to go directly to buying things that are of historic value,

things that just need to be preserved.

But it's also a great thing for you

if you like this poster.

You can find it at Glenbeckart.com, Glenbeckart.com.

It's a limited edition.

And I think we're also selling, I mean, at an eye bleed price.

It's shameful.

I might as well be Disney Disney World.

But if you want a signed edition, you can also get that.

It's a little more expensive than

the regular poster.

You know how much costs for posters to print?

You think they're cheap until you print them.

You're like, what?

Well, you're printing them at like super high quality.

Yeah, not like you're

high quality.

Really nice.

All right.

Let me see if I can go to Eric.

I have two minutes.

Eric, can you make your point in two minutes?

Hey, I got the chance to talk to somebody who's building data centers in Texas, and he's building data centers that are carbon negative, and that some of the big investors are BlackRock and some of the other companies that you're talking about, and their sole purpose is to mine Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

So these companies are not diverging or divesting out of these.

more involved in you know i and i think because i've often wondered about blackrock because BlackRock is part of the Fed coin.

I mean, they are, they are all over this.

Um, and then they just recently took on cryptocurrency and said they were going to start investing in Bitcoin, et cetera, et cetera.

And I thought, why would they do that?

And then I realized,

oh, you know, that's something that the largest hedge fund in the world could always hold over the head of governments.

Oh, you know what?

Oh, you got that?

Yeah.

Well, we hedged our bet with Bitcoin.

And it's a way for them to hold on to some power.

And not to mention make a lot of money.

Yeah, right.

You know, even Exxon is now doing this.

I know.

They are actually

mining for oil.

They're mining for Bitcoin.

How insane is that?

Yeah.

They're using run.

I mean, a lot of this is, I think, really cool.

They're running like the gas they would normally burn off

or use to generate electricity for minor projects, they're now converting into Bitcoin mining.

The amount of people jumping into this is

pretty interesting.

Yeah.

And what is Bitcoin today?

47,000?

47,000?

I mean, it is a roller coaster ride.

But

if you bought it early and you held on, today at least is a really good day.

You know, oh no, it's 46,000 now.

Oh, my God.

Sell it all.

Jump off the top of the building.

Remember, they were talking about 29.

It's going to break 29 and go down.

I mean, it could be over.

That was like a month ago.

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

All right.

Let me go to James in Virginia.

Hello, James.

Ladies.

Good morning, gentlemen.

I've been rehearsing for the last hour and 40 minutes, if you can just indulge me just for a moment.

So, at the very beginning,

no, you're fine, you're fine.

So, I initially was very skeptical when I heard, you know, a World Economic Forum great reset until I started hearing other independent news reporting on what's kind of going on.

And so, with that being said, like, I went searching through their website and I found some really bizarre stuff that's just very blatantly open.

You know, the one and a half degrees temperature in the world, the world's going to end by 2030.

Meat's going to disappear.

We're all going to eat bugs.

We're all going to like it.

Yesterday, I watched your special while I was on the treadmill and the Build Back Better that's across the world from Joe Biden to that goofy haired guy in England to New Zealand.

It's all hair raising.

And

when I've heard your other people come onto your show and they talk about, you know, Russia, Ukraine, this, that, and the other.

Alex Dugan in his book.

And what is the US's biggest exporter?

It's culture.

Now,

I get Russia from their perspective.

Like, me too.

They don't want nothing to do with what we got going on.

Nobody, France doesn't want it.

France, the president of France has said, don't take this culture coming out of the United States.

It's poison.

France thinks it's crazy.

So anyway, go ahead and people.

So

my question to you to you both, with the

convention of states that's kind of looming, is it possible that we can get ahead of this?

I personally don't, but I also look back,

what would our founding fathers think of what our nation has been doing to its own citizens abroad and what would their actions be?

I keep coming back to one thing, and you mentioned it many, many months ago, saying, I'm not ready to give up on this nation yet.

but all the indicators are pointing towards a national divorce.

And it sounds bizarre, but as I swore an oath to the Constitution and all the documents that were set forth to build the world's greatest superpower.

But at what point is enough, enough to be like, you know what, this is no longer working.

We need to bring what our federal government, what was supposed to be a small,

small, very small item, which has now become this massive entity.

And what point do we get back to that of like, you know what?

Nope, no more.

Bring it back to the states where we're no longer worrying about the woke CEOs that are in California having influence over Florida.

Yeah, exactly.

I will tell you, we can beat it, but we are running out of time.

And, you know, you mentioned the Convention of States.

That is probably the best thing we could do.

If we got together and got the, what do we have now?

22?

19.

The 19th just happened two days ago, which was South Carolina.

Okay, so 19 states, I think we need 34

to be able to have a Convention of States.

And

this is not a constitutional convention.

This is only open on certain things that everybody has to vote on before it even opens.

So you can't just bring things up like, I want to get rid of the Second Amendment.

No, unless those 34 states have already agreed, you're not bringing it up and we're not opening it up.

We can actually change things if we can get those 34 states.

And it's close.

Go to conventions.

is it conventionofstates?

Indonesia.com.

Conventionofstates.com.

You should get very active in

that.

And by the way, four states just this year.

We're only in March.

March.

So we've had just this year, Wisconsin, Nebraska, West Virginia, and South Carolina.

Wisconsin,

Wisconsin is joined.

And it is,

you know, it has to be joined for sure by every red state.

And there are red states that have not jumped on board yet.

I mean, South Dakota has not passed this yet.

Iowa has not passed this yet.

North Carolina is sort of a purple state.

New Hampshire, another purple state, hasn't done it.

There's a bunch of states kind of surprising.

Ohio has not yet.

Wyoming has not yet.

Yeah, this is the way to do it.

This is the found.

The founders gave us Article 5.

And they said, when things get so out of hand and Washington will not respond, then the the people have to gather in their own states and vote on certain things they want to do and get through the legislature.

Certain things like

a balanced budget,

term limits, no ESG scores,

no federal digitized all-encompassing

coin that can track everybody, no spying on people.

Those things can be done and they're only going to be done by the people.

And it will take a convention of states.

By the way, our last caller said he watched last night's show.

I think he was watching another show that we did a couple of weeks ago on ESG.

It's full house.

Last night,

if you saw it, you know, it was weird.

I watched it with my wife last night later after, and she laughed.

And she doesn't laugh at me really anymore.

Oh, she laughs at me.

She doesn't laugh with me very often anymore.

It was a really funny, funny show.

And

in the middle of it,

I laid something out on the chalkboard.

And I think it's worth revisiting today.

And that's the next part of the Dakota Ring.

Things that could never, ever happen.

Can we just stop saying that as a nation?

This I wrote 15 minutes before the program tonight.

Flying airplanes into the World Trade Center never would happen until it did.

The Patriot Act, take your shoes off, take your belt off, I'm going to feel your crotch for a while.

And look at me, I got a badge and I make $3 an hour.

I'm in charge.

That would have never happened.

Of course, we had the Vietnam War, but this time we had a 20-year war that we actually won and then we handed the keys and our helicopters and our billions of dollars of airport to the people we we were fighting the whole time.

That's crazy.

That'll never happen.

How about this one?

The 2008 meltdown.

Remember that?

What?

We're going to have a crash?

No, I was there.

I remember.

That'll never happen.

$750 billion bailout.

TARP.

Oh my gosh, that's crazy.

That's never happened before.

Can happen again?

Of course not.

$750 billion is chump change.

We're now $5 trillion

at the COVID bailout.

And speaking of COVID, another thing that'll just never happen.

Shut down the global economy and then lock people in their houses and let giant corporations open, but mom and pa businesses, they have to stay closed.

By the way, need a mask when you're standing, but not when you're sitting.

Never happened, right?

It did.

Press colluding, the president is colluding with Russia.

That's what they said about Donald Trump.

That could never happen.

Well, then we found out not colluding with Russia.

Yet the press said that could never happen.

He has to be guilty, even though he wasn't guilty.

But then they move on, the president colluding with Russia, China, and Ukraine, taking dollars, millions of dollars through, come on.

Through his son, who is a crack addict.

And we're, well, the whole time we're expected to like, oh no, oil companies and giant banks in China.

Of course they hire him.

And it has nothing to, the guy is doing blow off the belly of hookers.

I mean, oh, it could never happen.

It did happen.

And yet this time the press had no interest.

And the FBI lost the laptop.

Did you hear that one?

Trump's family is clean.

This is a guy who did business in New York.

I don't know if you've ever been there, you know what I'm saying?

But

Vinny the Nose will come by and make sure the construction site is

operating the way it should be.

You know what I'm saying?

That guy, that guy who worked with those people for decades, he's been investigated by every...

top secret spy agency on the planet and maybe the aliens that the Pentagon said is real but that'll never happen.

I think they investigated him too.

Nothing.

His family is clean, but the one that's held up by the press, Biden, is in a crime family.

It could never happen.

Just like the left burning down our cities and the Democratic politicians openly bail those people out.

And then the press says it's really a peaceful operation.

$2 billion worth of damage.

That could never happen.

The right then stormed the Capitol.

The instigators lost by the FBI.

It might be with a laptop.

I'm not sure.

Where did I put Ray Epps?

Where did I put him?

The press then says it's the worst since the Civil War.

And the Democrats don't bail these people out.

Instead, they throw the book at grandma.

That had never happened PTA, parents are terrorists.

Supreme Court justice can't define a woman, yet those who can are deplatformed and called haters.

Just take this one one step at a time.

The US is energy independent.

The president did something I never thought was possible in my lifetime.

We become energy independent.

And then,

could never happen, right?

But then the next president immediately shuts it down so we're not energy independent.

And then

we go to Saudi Arabia.

The guys will take any, they kill people and put them in blenders.

And they won't take our president's call when we're like, we'd like to give you billions of dollars for some of your oil.

No, they're pissed off at us.

They won't even talk to us now because

we're doing a deal with Iran.

and empowering the mullahs in Iran.

That could never happen.

Oh my gosh.

We don't have pregnant women.

We now have a pregnant individual.

Men in California are in female prisons.

That could never happen.

Washington State

just this week said, you know what?

No gas cars on the road by 2030.

Check your watch.

Did you ever think $5 gas would happen in the middle of the country?

I didn't.

Hey, remember when we used to say, hey, Disney is like, I saw this picture, you freeze the frame and they spelled sex out in the clouds.

That's ridiculous.

We would never do something like that.

Yesterday they came out with their very open sexual and gay agenda.

50%

of Disney is going to center around gay children, transgender children.

Oh man, that's good.

That'll never happen.

CRT in our schools, never happened.

Iran, a friend.

Israel, a foe.

War with Russia, and my favorite.

You know what I haven't thought about since, I don't know, 1989?

Being vaporized.

I haven't thought about it since I was a kid.

Now we're actually talking about being vaporized again.

So please.

Shut the freaking pie hole with, oh, that would never happen.

We got to stop saying that, please.

That was just the stuff off the top of my head yesterday.

I think anything could happen.

Jesus could come back.

Jesus might be in the boardroom right now.

That could never.

He might be.

Somebody check.

Jesus, if you're in the building, please report to the studio.

Jesus, Jesus of

Nazareth, please report to the studio.
