Speaker 4 Let me tell tell you about Rough Greens.

Speaker 5 As a dog owner,

Speaker 6 I know I want Uno to live forever.

Speaker 9 He had to go in for some surgery yesterday, and

Speaker 10 I hate it when dogs get old.

Speaker 12 I hate it.

Speaker 13 I mean, it just...

Speaker 13 Anyway,

Speaker 10 we want to make sure he is the most healthy that he can be, and he is because of Rough Greens.

Speaker 8 He's the right weight now.

Speaker 19 We don't have to sit there and watch him eat and freeze like a statue.

Speaker 20 He

Speaker 22 has an activity level that he hasn't had since he was a puppy.

Speaker 23 You can get a free bag of rough greens for your dog to try out.

Speaker 4 It is not a dog food, it is a supplement that you put on your dog food.

Speaker 17 They love it.

Speaker 8 It's like dog crack.

Speaker 10 But make sure your dog loves it and then feed them rough greens.

Speaker 26 Over a couple of months' time, you're going to find a huge, huge difference in your dog.

Speaker 25 Activity level and the way they address their food.

Speaker 17 They love it.

Speaker 41 You love snacks as much as I do.

Speaker 6 Correct.

Speaker 42 You are the one, actually, your wife is the one that turned me on to Built Bar, turned you on to Built Bar.

Speaker 13 Then my wife turned me on to Built Bar.

Speaker 43 And my job is to turn everybody else on to Built Bar.

Speaker 44 It is delicious.

Speaker 22 My wife, Stu's wife, does she eat as healthy and everything else?

Speaker 46 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 47 She's healthy, which, you know, her endorsement of Built Bar is not necessarily important.

Speaker 47 And it led, well, it's important. So it starts out with her saying it's good.
And that is, you know, she eats healthy. So what does that mean to us?

Speaker 6 Exactly. Thank you for that.

Speaker 48 Nothing. Nothing.

Speaker 47 She recommends it to your wife. Who eats healthy?

Speaker 47 What does it mean?

Speaker 29 Nothing.

Speaker 47 Nothing. It's not until your endorsement.
Thank you. That's the important one.

Speaker 50 You are a food scientist and you are not even as important.

Speaker 6 No, you're the fat man here. You're not the important one here.

Speaker 62 Yeah. All right, go ahead.

Speaker 63 Let's just start with some holiday cheer here.

Speaker 63 Everywhere you go.

Speaker 63 From Medoro and Chavez to Ocasio Cortez,

Speaker 6 Pelosi, come along, and senile Joe, what is beginning to look a lot like an Enzuela?

Speaker 6 Soon

Speaker 6 we'll all be flogged.

Speaker 6 At dinner you'll need to bring your favorite seasoning for the roasted

Speaker 6 dog.

Speaker 6 Well, there's a mountain of dead and a criminal threat. It is such a socialist treat.
A band of marauders have captured our daughters and amputated my feet.

Speaker 6 The reindeer have been murdered and the house have all been beat. It's beginning to look alive like Renaissance.

Speaker 6 Oh,

Speaker 6 the kids have frowns.

Speaker 6 The tree is red and green. It is splattered with blood and spleen.
And Santa Claus is not coming to town

Speaker 6 it's beginning to look a lot like an else well

Speaker 6 soon we'll lose our soul

Speaker 6 but the thing that will make us cry is the painful way we die

Speaker 6 as our heads all

Speaker 6 roll

Speaker 6 Oh well the temperature's higher from all of the fires and rampant is the disease. There's some execution and much destitution, and I am covered by fleas.

Speaker 6 And have you ever noticed that the water smells like cheese? It's beginning to look a lot like Venezuela.

Speaker 6 Breaking

Speaker 6 for some food.

Speaker 6 But the thing that won't make us flee is the worthless currency.

Speaker 6 Holy crap, horses food.

Speaker 6 It's beginning to look a lot like Venezuela.

Speaker 6 Where Venezuela

Speaker 6 caused Biden fell ya

Speaker 5 beginning to look a lot like Venezuela.

Speaker 64 If you'd like a copy of that song, you can find it right now online.

Speaker 47 Yeah, go to the Studios America podcast page. You can click subscribe and share it with whoever you want for free.

Speaker 65 You know, it's that kind of year.

Speaker 56 It's kind of funny,

Speaker 6 but not

Speaker 27 because it's completely true.

Speaker 66 It is completely true.

Speaker 67 You know,

Speaker 40 I said, what was it?

Speaker 48 10 years ago.

Speaker 29 You're going to come to a time when you won't recognize your country.

Speaker 39 I want to play a song we did maybe

Speaker 27 four or five years ago for Christmas.

Speaker 70 It was a PC Christmas album we did.

Speaker 38 Here is one cut from it.

Speaker 21 I want you to listen to this.

Speaker 21 Oh, come

Speaker 21 all you people,

Speaker 21 joyful, and chumphant.

Speaker 21 Oh, come

Speaker 21 you,

Speaker 21 oh come

Speaker 21 you

Speaker 21 to Los

Speaker 21 Angeles.

Speaker 21 Come

Speaker 21 and

Speaker 21 behold this young person,

Speaker 21 born a kid

Speaker 21 of parents.

Speaker 21 Oh, come, let us look at him or her.

Speaker 21 Oh, come,

Speaker 21 let us look at him or her.

Speaker 21 Oh, come,

Speaker 21 let us look at him or her.

Speaker 21 Christ,

Speaker 21 the average kid of earthly parents.

Speaker 21 Okay,

Speaker 6 we did that

Speaker 32 when we thought we were at the maximum craziness of political correctness.

Speaker 31 Right.

Speaker 75 That song is now, as written there, politically incorrect.

Speaker 38 Yeah.

Speaker 77 Come see him or her.

Speaker 47 Right. Where are the other 92 genders?

Speaker 6 The other genders.

Speaker 72 And born of earthly parents. I don't know if you can say parents.

Speaker 47 That's right. They've eliminated that

Speaker 77 birthing people.

Speaker 47 Right. Right.
Birthing people.

Speaker 28 Birthing people.

Speaker 61 So we can't even recognize our country from where it was absurd just a few years ago.

Speaker 21 But now let me play something real.

Speaker 44 This is,

Speaker 17 I like this.

Speaker 81 This is the NIH director.

Speaker 72 Dr. Francis Collins.

Speaker 83 Now, if you don't, if you're not watching the Blaze, you're you're missing out.

Speaker 71 Because this is a guy who looks to be about 60 years old

Speaker 85 with a guitar like a hippie.

Speaker 72 Here he is singing his super, super classic, Somewhere Past the Pandemic.

Speaker 71 This is serious and real.

Speaker 91 Somewhere past the pandemic,

Speaker 89 when

Speaker 90 we're free,

Speaker 92 there's a

Speaker 90 life I remember full of activity.

Speaker 91 Somewhere past the pandemic,

Speaker 90 masks will come off.

Speaker 90 No

Speaker 90 more

Speaker 93 need for a nose swab

Speaker 93 every

Speaker 93 time

Speaker 93 we cough

Speaker 91 as we are gathered here today, COVID's toll has hit and sent us realing.

Speaker 91 But partners like the ones right here will help to make the pathway clear to find a true

Speaker 90 healing

Speaker 93 past the pandemic,

Speaker 92 life

Speaker 90 will

Speaker 90 resume.

Speaker 93 We'll all complain about the traffic, forgetting how we hated

Speaker 6 Zoom.

Speaker 6 Oh,

Speaker 6 great. Yeah.

Speaker 6 All right, enough.

Speaker 78 This is in a government-sponsored town hall.

Speaker 52 So, HHS employees, we're all forced to watch this.

Speaker 27 If you ever think your meetings at work are worthless wastes of time, just play that.

Speaker 6 It can't be that.

Speaker 97 This is on your tax dollar dime.

Speaker 77 And

Speaker 95 they all took some time to watch that.

Speaker 98 And I love the lyrics, somewhere past the pandemic where we all will be free.

Speaker 6 Really?

Speaker 13 Because...

Speaker 77 All the things you're doing now make sure that we won't be free after the pandemic.

Speaker 40 And by the way, speaking of that, here is is Joe Biden

Speaker 43 yesterday talking about freedom, cut eight.

Speaker 94 And so everybody talks about freedom and not to

Speaker 94 have a shot or have a test.

Speaker 47 Well, guess what?

Speaker 94 So how about patriotism? How about making sure that you're vaccinated so you do not spread the disease to anybody else?

Speaker 16 Yes.

Speaker 94 What about that?

Speaker 47 What about that? What's the big deal?

Speaker 43 What's the big deal, Stu?

Speaker 40 What is the big deal?

Speaker 71 What about patriotism?

Speaker 47 Doesn't seem like you should care about your personal individual freedoms. You should only care about what Joe Biden wants you to do, apparently.

Speaker 31 Thank you.

Speaker 47 Which is amazing.

Speaker 47 This demeaning. We heard Arnold Schwarzenegger do it earlier, and this demeaning of the idea of personal freedom is an interesting path to take here in this moment.

Speaker 99 I don't know what you mean.

Speaker 47 I think you could appeal to someone and say, look,

Speaker 47 hey, you know, if this was your opinion, you're coming from the government, you want to encourage people to get vaccinated. You could say, hey, look,

Speaker 47 please consider this because it's not only about you being sick, but you might affect someone else who is much more vulnerable than you. And we appreciate your consideration, right?

Speaker 47 Like there's a way to appeal that way.

Speaker 6 This idea that they're going down the road of, look, what do you, oh, stop with your freedom.

Speaker 47 Come on, really,

Speaker 6 individual rights. Come on.

Speaker 47 That seems to be their pitch. Now, no one who wanted to actually get someone to take the vaccine would come up with that pitch.

Speaker 47 It's the worst possible idea to go down that road, but that's the road they keep going down as if that's going to succeed. It might succeed with their friends on Twitter and with their friends in the

Speaker 47 parties that they have without masks behind closed doors. Maybe that sort of thing gets a great reaction in those rooms.

Speaker 47 But obviously, it doesn't in real life with the people you supposedly want to attract.

Speaker 57 You know,

Speaker 31 let me ask you a question.

Speaker 5 When you have the non-vaccined now barred from movie theaters, concerts, exhibitions,

Speaker 28 anything in the public, you have vaccine cards issued.

Speaker 81 You have students that are not vaccined, not allowed to go to college.

Speaker 17 You have the non-vaccine not allowed to travel abroad

Speaker 5 you have people banned from restaurants swimming pools parks uh when you uh

Speaker 40 you know when you have the basic human rights um

Speaker 39 violated

Speaker 47 does that bother you at all or is this part of the vaccine no it definitely bothers it does bothers you it does yeah why is that stupid well i mean as you know you can look over my you're looking at you know exactly where i'm going i know where you're going with this, and that's why.

Speaker 47 But I do think it's a very bad idea, yes. As I, you know, oppose the mandates, as I know you have the entire time.
Right, yeah.

Speaker 104 1935, Nuremberg laws deny Jews basic civil rights.

Speaker 23 How did we know that?

Speaker 18 1935 to 36, you're no longer to vote.

Speaker 61 You lose benefit payments.

Speaker 22 to Jewish families.

Speaker 49 If you were a Jew, you were banned from parks, restaurants, and swimming pools.

Speaker 21 You were no longer to use optical equipment, bicycles, typewriters, or records.

Speaker 43 You were restricted from travel abroad.

Speaker 6 Jewish students were removed from German schools.

Speaker 61 Identity cards were issued to Jews.

Speaker 21 You were excluded from cinema, theater, concerts, exhibition, beaches, holiday resorts.

Speaker 97 I mean,

Speaker 28 I'm just saying.

Speaker 6 I'm just saying.

Speaker 5 You probably don't want to go down this.

Speaker 27 Ah, freedom.

Speaker 40 What's the big deal?

Speaker 71 How about patriotism?

Speaker 82 You know, that's weird because that's exactly what

Speaker 71 whatever his name was that was in charge of Germany said too.

Speaker 3 This is for the good of all Germany.

Speaker 71 Where's your patriotism?

Speaker 47 And look,

Speaker 47 it's interesting that the left will say, of course, obviously this is a terrible thing you should bring up and you should be banned from all social media for bringing it up.

Speaker 47 What's interesting about it is why they say that, right? There are two reasons.

Speaker 47 One, obviously, this does not need to be said to this audience because they're smart, but obviously, we are not at Nazi Germany levels of oppression.

Speaker 47 We just don't like the road that this sends us down. We're not saying we're at the end of the road, which equals Nazi Germany.

Speaker 47 I will, you know, whether, you know, you are not vaccinated, you can, you will have flown all over the country, you have visited all sorts of events. What you're saying here is

Speaker 47 an end of a road that we do not want to take one step forward.

Speaker 22 What I'm saying is

Speaker 62 there's two roads.

Speaker 44 One is brightly lit.

Speaker 11 One is really nice and clean and leads to a very nice, clean city that we've all been to before and we like.

Speaker 88 Then there's another one that's very, very dark.

Speaker 109 It's not well lit.

Speaker 58 We've not traveled down this road for a very, very long time.

Speaker 27 And once you start walking down that road, it is harder and harder to get back to the brightly lit road.

Speaker 37 And at the end of that road, there's something really spooky.

Speaker 105 What do you say we get off of the dark, spooky, broken-down road that we know lead?

Speaker 107 This is the same thing they said in Venezuela.

Speaker 37 This is going to lead, we said it, this is going to lead to starvation.

Speaker 82 This is going to lead to executions of people who don't agree.

Speaker 107 This is going to lead to Cuba.

Speaker 3 That's ridiculous. This is going to be the greatest utopia of all time.

Speaker 68 Well, they were on the dark road.

Speaker 27 You wouldn't get off the dark road.

Speaker 40 Now, Venezuela's not Nazi Germany.

Speaker 56 That's kind of in a special class all by itself.

Speaker 66 Well, no, sorry.

Speaker 68 Nazi Germany, Russia, and China.

Speaker 110 Wait a minute.

Speaker 9 What do all three of those things have in common?

Speaker 6 That's right.

Speaker 79 Socialism.

Speaker 66 Oh, I completely forgot.

Speaker 104 They all have in common socialism.

Speaker 6 Get off the road.

Speaker 54 Okay, now let's tell you a little bit about Omaha Steaks.

Speaker 113 Boy, did you see?

Speaker 79 These giant corporations, according to Socky, these giant corporations are the ones driving the meat prices so high.

Speaker 6 It's true.

Speaker 27 It's true.

Speaker 39 There's four corporations that take most of the meat and they are the meat distribution plants and they're greedy and it's a monopoly and it needs to be broken up.

Speaker 43 But is the government going to do that?

Speaker 18 No, they're just going to turn you against, they're just going to turn you against capitalism.

Speaker 9 That's all they want to do.

Speaker 74 Omaha steaks right now.

Speaker 6 They are the world's best butchers.

Speaker 29 They're the ones in America that have been around forever and ever and ever and they know how to make the meat really super tender.

Speaker 46 Right now, if you go to the store, you're not going to find anything like this: $99 for their world-famous bacon-wrapped filet mignons, chicken breasts, jumbo franks, sides, desserts, and so much more.

Speaker 21 10 seconds, station ID.

Speaker 48 Stu, can I ask you a question?

Speaker 22 Our inflation is at 6.9% now, right?

Speaker 47 It's not 69%.

Speaker 41 It's not 69%.

Speaker 103 You're right.

Speaker 56 These are the things that are in

Speaker 10 the basket of goods. Yes.

Speaker 39 Fruits and vegetables are up 4%.

Speaker 21 Milk 4.6.

Speaker 53 Clothing up 5%.

Speaker 22 Food 6.1. Electricity 6.5.

Speaker 100 Jewelry 6.7%.

Speaker 22 Domestic services.

Speaker 29 I don't even know what those are.

Speaker 42 10.2.

Speaker 61 New cars, 11.1.

Speaker 21 Furniture and bedding, 11.8.

Speaker 57 Meat, poultry, and fish, 13%.

Speaker 35 Hotels, 25.5%.

Speaker 113 And that one's remarkable considering the last couple of years.

Speaker 6 Right.

Speaker 70 Used vehicles, 31.4%.

Speaker 40 And gas, 58.1%.

Speaker 21 How are we only at 6.9?

Speaker 47 I mean, is that all everything that's in the basket of goods? I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 22 The largest consumer price jumps between November 2020 and 21st.

Speaker 11 This is

Speaker 11 the

Speaker 19 yeah, this is the

Speaker 47 all of them, essentially, or is there is that just a sampling, essentially?

Speaker 47 The only thing I would think of, because I think your point here is that you look at all those, most of them are well over 6%. Why is it only 6%? Is that kind of what you're asking? Yeah.

Speaker 47 I mean, the only thing, you know, just looking at that off the top of the, off, off the top of my head, a lot of the ones at the bottom are, you know, real, you know, major portions of a family's budget.

Speaker 47 Right. Right.
Where like a new car you might not even buy, right? Correct. So,

Speaker 47 but still, it's, it's

Speaker 6 should overrun all of that. I mean, gas is everybody, and that's 58% increase.

Speaker 9 Incredible.

Speaker 29 60% increase since this clown got into office.

Speaker 56 60%.

Speaker 47 I think I've heard you make the point that

Speaker 47 they don't factor in fuel in an appropriate way

Speaker 47 in some of these calculations. Yes.
So

Speaker 47 I don't know. I mean, wherever it is, it's still high.
Even if it's not 6.9%

Speaker 47 and it is even lower, it's still way above what we're used to. And it looks to be, for many people, a lot higher than that.

Speaker 5 And I love meat, poultry, and fish.

Speaker 7 I eat meat.

Speaker 84 I hate chicken and I hate fish.

Speaker 33 13.1 when meat is up 25%.

Speaker 47 You're going to be surprised to hear that chicken is meat.

Speaker 6 No, it's not.

Speaker 6 Truly not. American Finance.
Stunning development. That's 192334.

Speaker 119 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org. Steak.

Speaker 14 That's it. That's it.

Speaker 6 Beef.

Speaker 83 Anyway, Darren wrote in about his experience with American financing.

Speaker 4 He says, I was able to refinance my home, Glenn, saving hundreds of dollars every month.

Speaker 106 I was even able to shorten my term with this.

Speaker 64 It was clean, clear, and a simple process, constant communication.

Speaker 61 You are exactly right.

Speaker 21 Now is the time to take advantage of the interest rates.

Speaker 22 I've saved so much.

Speaker 10 It's made a real difference in my life.

Speaker 18 Thanks.

Speaker 106 Darren, thank you for listening and writing in.

Speaker 39 Thank you for at least calling and seeing if it can save you money.

Speaker 22 I'm glad you cut your term shorter and are saving money.

Speaker 25 This is something where you have to get your financial house in order.

Speaker 39 We should know today about interest rates.

Speaker 16 The Fed is meeting today.

Speaker 76 They should come out with what they're going to start doing.

Speaker 63 We should have an idea of how soon these higher interest rates are coming today.

Speaker 63 Please call American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.

How are you?

Speaker 122 Got a little song for you.

Speaker 7 How do you do?

Speaker 28 All right.

Speaker 6 Some

Speaker 6 we're

Speaker 3 past the pandemic.

Speaker 6 Now

Speaker 3 we're ever free.

Speaker 6 Was that awful? That was the worst. That was awful.

Speaker 66 The worst. From a government agency.

Speaker 52 I'm tired of the dancing, you know, the little dancing

Speaker 52 syringes.

Speaker 55 Yeah.

Speaker 53 The awful Jimmy Fallon.

Speaker 47 The Fallon thing, yeah.

Speaker 13 Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 53 Stop with the propaganda.

Speaker 6 It's embarrassing.

Speaker 44 It is. It is embarrassing.

Speaker 6 It is embarrassing.

Speaker 88 Propaganda.

Speaker 62 And I mean, you're the U.S. government.

Speaker 6 Can you not do better than this? Really?

Speaker 107 No, they can't.

Speaker 6 I mean, every day we come in and do better than that. You can't do better than this.
No, they cannot.

Speaker 6 With an unlimited budget. No.

Speaker 3 You can spend a trillion dollars on this entertainment.

Speaker 6 No, they're not going to do it.

Speaker 47 They're not. It's interesting, too, that that attitude is there.
There's a story in the Atlantic yesterday.

Speaker 47 They're getting all sorts of cancellations over it, where the guy basically makes the argument, where I live, no one cares about COVID. Yep.

Speaker 47 And he goes through the whole argument, and it's very similar to the life that we live here in Texas, which is...

Speaker 6 Yes, people.

Speaker 47 I mean, that was in the Atlantic. In the Atlantic, which is why they're getting all the cancellations.

Speaker 6 Oh, good.

Speaker 122 Oh, my God.

Speaker 14 Good.

Speaker 6 They shouldn't worry about it.

Speaker 40 They should do what they do.

Speaker 6 Yes, they should.

Speaker 114 Now, they have shown a very long record of not just doing what they do.

Speaker 6 I mean,

Speaker 47 they've folded multiple times. Anytime someone breaks it.

Speaker 20 And they will again, I'm sure.

Speaker 122 Probably.

Speaker 25 Well, the only ones that are going to survive are the ones that just don't fold.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 43 You know, the ones that just don't care.

Speaker 122 They'll say, somebody didn't vet this article and it came from a conservative journalist.

Speaker 47 Ask Kevin Williamson how this works.

Speaker 47 That's what they did to him. They hired him and then fired him for nothing.

Speaker 47 A tweet he had made multiple years earlier. But this is typical

Speaker 47 of these places. They do this all the time.

Speaker 47 But the article, which basically, if you haven't read it, it was a column saying, you know, like we just, I've flown a bunch of times. I've gone to parties.
I went to weddings in the summer of 2020.

Speaker 47 You know, we don't, we don't connect with this world portrayed in the media where everyone's terrified of COVID all the time.

Speaker 47 You know, look, there are concerns, of course, that people have, particularly if you're vulnerable, but most people are just moving past it in a lot of these areas.

Speaker 6 Texas is one of them.

Speaker 47 Texas is certainly one of them. Florida is another of many.
I mean, almost every red state at this point is pretty similar.

Speaker 47 And you saw even the governor of Colorado, who is a Democrat yesterday, declared it over. Yeah, he's like, this is over.
If you want to get a vaccine, go get get it.

Speaker 47 If you don't want it, don't get it.

Speaker 67 Well, I think that's happening, though.

Speaker 6 That should be the attitude.

Speaker 81 Did you see what was happening in San Francisco with the mayor of San Francisco?

Speaker 14 Yeah, this is incredible.

Speaker 122 She said the reign of criminals ends now.

Speaker 47 Wait, in San Francisco, you're not enjoying this?

Speaker 6 I thought you were.

Speaker 47 I thought it was great.

Speaker 122 We want to open up the gates and let all the prisoners come out.

Speaker 77 And

Speaker 62 it hasn't worked out well for San Francisco.

Speaker 34 I don't know if you've noticed that.

Speaker 47 I planted that tree, but the fruit is not tasty.

Speaker 6 It seems to be.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 122 She said it's time the reign of criminals who are destroying our city. It is time for it to come to an end.
And it comes to an end when we take the steps

Speaker 122 to be more aggressive with the law enforcement. You think?

Speaker 122 More aggressive with the changes in our policies and less tolerant of all the BS.

Speaker 61 She actually says the word that has destroyed our city.

Speaker 47 It's interesting that she's

Speaker 47 actually

Speaker 122 admitting it

Speaker 122 because it's clear to everybody else, especially in the red states, that San Francisco has gone to hell. But now she's basically admitting it and saying, yeah, we let it go to hell.

Speaker 72 Well, yeah, that's your Democrat policies.

Speaker 6 Those are the policies that you've been proclaiming that were great up until now.

Speaker 47 What do you think the cause of this is? Is it political pressure? Is it she's really recognized this and is horrified? Is she just trying to scam more, you know, more years out of of

Speaker 47 her job as mayor? What's she doing?

Speaker 67 I don't know.

Speaker 68 I mean,

Speaker 40 if she

Speaker 70 I mean, if if she is doing this

Speaker 113 because

Speaker 22 she's taking a stand against wokeness,

Speaker 6 then that screams volumes of information to the rest of America.

Speaker 47 Same thing in New York with Eric Adams coming in and doing the same type of thing.

Speaker 40 Right.

Speaker 13 If wokeness is that dead that you can have this mayor say these things and

Speaker 66 actually go up in approval rating,

Speaker 58 wokeness is dead.

Speaker 37 It is dead.

Speaker 47 Because it is kind of a woke thing to say the robberies, the smash and grab stuff isn't so bad.

Speaker 77 I mean, it is. It's really not that bad.

Speaker 67 That's just coming from woke.

Speaker 28 Yes.

Speaker 47 Just property.

Speaker 98 And now she is.

Speaker 47 Not accepting of that.

Speaker 76 And she's not accepting of the going to the bathroom in the streets or any of it.

Speaker 47 All of a sudden, she doesn't want the poopies all over.

Speaker 25 It's a totally natural occurrence.

Speaker 6 I don't know what her problem is. We all have to poop.
Everybody poops. Everybody.

Speaker 47 There's a book about that.

Speaker 47 It's interesting. We had Michael Schellenberger on about his book, San Francisco, a few months ago when it came out.
And it's about San Francisco, obviously. And he basically

Speaker 47 makes this case that they need to be more aggressive with law enforcement and stop letting drug dealers and drug addicts do drugs in the street and go to the bathroom in the street and camp out in the street and all those things that are completely obvious, you'd think, to most people.

Speaker 47 And he said yesterday, look, look, there's a lot

Speaker 47 to wait for here to see if she actually does these things, but this is a real step in the right direction.

Speaker 40 Because a lot of it was what he mentioned in his book, right?

Speaker 124 A lot of what she's saying now.

Speaker 47 Seems like they basically read the book and are taking some of the

Speaker 47 things.

Speaker 103 She didn't tiptoe around it, as Pat said.

Speaker 17 She used the language.

Speaker 37 I mean, she was. She did.

Speaker 6 She's pissed.

Speaker 79 Yeah, she's pissed.

Speaker 80 It It sounds it.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 50 By the way, we have Rick DeSantis on tonight.

Speaker 47 Is he? Ron's brother is coming on.

Speaker 6 That's incredible.

Speaker 47 What an honor that this family member of the governor of Florida is coming on your show.

Speaker 87 And a lot of people would think you'd go for Ron.

Speaker 6 Right.

Speaker 6 I know.

Speaker 128 No, he doesn't go for the obvious guy. You've got to have

Speaker 6 his brother. He has Ron on.

Speaker 7 I have Rick.

Speaker 6 It's unbelievable.

Speaker 56 Why do I, because I always think it's Rick DeSantis, and I know it's not.

Speaker 22 But who is it that that sounds like?

Speaker 127 Or who do we know?

Speaker 47 My thought is you might be conflating Rick Scott, who is the senator from Florida and former governor with Ron DeSantis.

Speaker 6 Which is not. And they are very different

Speaker 26 from each other.

Speaker 47 Yeah, no, Rick Scott, you know, has done a lot of good things as well.

Speaker 6 Right.

Speaker 47 Ron DeSantis is kind of the guy who...

Speaker 74 Rick's not the one saying, let's take all the illegal immigrants that Biden sent in

Speaker 29 and send them up to Martha's Vineyard.

Speaker 28 I will help pay for that. Me too.

Speaker 6 I'll help pay for that.

Speaker 122 I will absolutely contribute to that.

Speaker 40 If he can't get the budget through with that, we're raising that money.

Speaker 42 Yeah.

Speaker 85 Because I just, oh, I'd love to be, I'd love to see that.

Speaker 40 Love to see that. What are they going to say?

Speaker 122 It is so easy for them to dismiss the border as if it's nothing until they have the border problem in their own state. And when that happens in Delaware and Martha's Vineyard,

Speaker 43 like he said,

Speaker 122 the border will be secure the next day.

Speaker 6 That's absolutely right.

Speaker 122 Once they understand what it's all about and what it feels like, love it.

Speaker 24 They would be for shutting down the border.

Speaker 40 Absolutely love it.

Speaker 47 And how would they say they don't want these people living there? Like, how do they

Speaker 47 right? Like they are, they're the ones saying they're hateful for not welcoming them.

Speaker 130 It's Ron DeSantis.

Speaker 43 It's hateful for moving them.

Speaker 6 Why?

Speaker 47 You are saying that Ron DeSantis treats these people poorly. So why wouldn't it be better if you bring them to your area where you're not going to be able to get it?

Speaker 6 Or you treat him really well? Yeah, I mean, this is a bar.

Speaker 28 Where they can live at Joe Biden's house. Yeah, he's got a room.

Speaker 6 It's great.

Speaker 6 It's great.

Speaker 40 Let me play that.

Speaker 33 Let me play this scene.

Speaker 60 This is from, I don't think there's really a spoiler here,

Speaker 81 but this is from

Speaker 9 Yellowstone.

Speaker 22 It's the last piece of a speech given by the Kevin Costner character.

Speaker 21 I want you to listen to this and tell me you wouldn't love to hear this from a politician.

Speaker 20 Listen.

Speaker 131 You don't see it on your way to work in the fields or on the mountain, but there's a war being waged against our way of life.

Speaker 131 They'll tell you all the reasons why our way of life is bad for this country,

Speaker 131 bad for our future,

Speaker 131 how it's immoral that you live here, work here, grow their food here.

Speaker 131 They will tell it so much you might even start to believe it yourself.

Speaker 131 Question what you do and who you are.

Speaker 131 They'll tell you you that the land's only hope is for them to be its steward.

Speaker 6 The ugly truth is they want the land.

Speaker 131 And if they get it, it will never look like our land again.

Speaker 131 That is progress in today's terms. So if it's progress you seek,

Speaker 131 do not vote for me.

Speaker 131 I am the opposite of progress.

Speaker 131 I'm the wall that it bashes against, and I will not be the one who breaks.

Speaker 27 I love that.

Speaker 122 that's awesome i love that i'm the opposite of progress and i guarantee you montanans would respond respond well to that oh yeah

Speaker 71 i think a lot of americans would if this is if if if any politician if rick or ron decided to give a speech and he said if your idea of progress is open borders if your idea of progress is people crapping in the streets if your idea of progress is separating white children and black children so they no longer can play together and you want separate playgrounds, well, then I'm the opposite of progress.

Speaker 6 I'm the wall that progress comes up against.

Speaker 23 I would vote for that guy in a heartbeat.

Speaker 47 You can tell why people like that show, too.

Speaker 12 Oh, yeah. I mean, that is, that's how that show.

Speaker 47 I have not watched it, but that makes sense. It is

Speaker 18 fantastic.

Speaker 43 It's really, it's rough.

Speaker 65 I don't know. What network...

Speaker 52 I know it's on Paramount, but it's on some.

Speaker 55 It's on Peacock, isn't it?

Speaker 76 Well,

Speaker 6 it's on a little bit of everything now.

Speaker 129 You can find it.

Speaker 47 I thought it was Paramount, but is it Paramount Plus?

Speaker 103 It is a Paramount Plus, but it is also, I think, older episodes are on Peacock.

Speaker 86 It's

Speaker 110 pretty much everywhere now.

Speaker 10 But it originates, you know, USA or one of these networks, I think, was the one that originally put it on.

Speaker 40 But it is huge.

Speaker 22 You have the stats of

Speaker 8 Premiere Week, right?

Speaker 6 This is interesting

Speaker 47 because they had i think the initial uh airing of season three is it yeah their premiere was 15 million people now that's a huge number for today 15 million 15 million today gigantic yeah yeah and that was i think without streaming which i don't that's why i was asking baseball gets those kinds of numbers now yeah yeah i don't know where i i don't i don't watch it so i don't know where it airs but um everyone i know where watches it on a streaming network i watch it streaming uh anyway uh but the the show succession which is very highly talked about in the media and media circles, which is a show that I do watch.

Speaker 80 And it is,

Speaker 37 I watch that because I lived it.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 12 I mean, it's thinly disguised Murdoch's

Speaker 53 and Fox News.

Speaker 47 Yeah, and it's very successful. It's way over the top.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 25 It's way over the top.

Speaker 47 It's very well done, but it's also, you know, it's a media harsh family.

Speaker 9 It's very harsh.

Speaker 47 Very harsh.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 47 However, that one had 3 million people watch it. I think that includes streaming.

Speaker 6 Wow.

Speaker 47 So that's a show that gets a a lot of talk in the media.

Speaker 22 And it shows how out of step the media is.

Speaker 118 The show they all flock to is

Speaker 52 about them.

Speaker 22 The show that everybody is flocking to in

Speaker 38 the real America is really about them.

Speaker 81 It's about the people who are struggling every day just trying to make it and this battle that's going on between an old way of life and a new way of life.

Speaker 17 And by the way,

Speaker 10 I may be alone, but I was, if somebody had to die last season, why could it not have been Casey's wife?

Speaker 17 I

Speaker 28 hate her.

Speaker 47 Is that... I assume that's a character on the show.

Speaker 6 I hope. Me.

Speaker 21 Yes, it's a character on the show.

Speaker 15 And is it always me?

Speaker 33 She's a whiny

Speaker 103 university professor.

Speaker 21 Somebody should have gone.

Speaker 10 It's not right that they didn't kill somebody off in that family, and she should have been the one.

Speaker 47 By the way, I don't know why I didn't understand this. It's so easy to understand.
The current season of Yellowstone airs on the Paramount Network app and website and is not on Paramount Plus.

Speaker 47 Seasons one through three, obviously, are on Peacock. You can watch Yellowstone on Fubo TV, Philo, or Sling.

Speaker 6 What?

Speaker 47 So obviously I know we're trying to get down very

Speaker 6 we grew 15 million people.

Speaker 99 I sat down on the premiere night to watch it, and Tanya and I didn't, we couldn't find it.

Speaker 50 We subscribed to Paramount, and then it wasn't on Paramount because we did Paramount Plus.

Speaker 32 We couldn't find the damn thing.

Speaker 58 Wow.

Speaker 47 Bizarre.

Speaker 6 Yeah,

Speaker 45 it's really weird, and it is worth finding.

Speaker 120 Back in a minute.

Speaker 54 Patriot Mobile.

Speaker 43 How long have you had your current cell phone provider?

Speaker 46 When's the last time you switched over?

Speaker 25 If you're like most people, it was probably the last time you found out about a really good deal some provider had right when you were most convinced that you were paying too much for your current service.

Speaker 31 Does it sound right?

Speaker 74 Here's the good news. That time has come around again.

Speaker 22 Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget.

Speaker 56 They're on the same towers as the big guys.

Speaker 22 Their 100% U.S.-based customer service team provides exceptional service.

Speaker 41 Even more important than that, Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizations fighting for our religious freedom, constitutional rights, sanctity of life, and our veteran and first responder heroes.

Speaker 74 It's patriotmobile.com slash back.

Speaker 22 Call 972 Patriot, 972 Patriot or PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

Speaker 57 Call them now, patriotmobile.com slash Beck.

Speaker 57 The Glen Beck Program.

Speaker 41 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 10 We're just talking about the spin-offs of Yellowstone that are coming.

Speaker 8 1886 is being filmed right here in Fort Worth.

Speaker 13 You know, they dug up the streets and they made Fort Worth look like it did in 1886.

Speaker 6 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 8 It's amazing.

Speaker 125 It's amazing what's going on.

Speaker 6 Yeah. That's incredible.

Speaker 47 What they do with these movies to some of these areas

Speaker 47 is really insane.

Speaker 47 So when does the show, I know everyone out there is like, I watch the show. Shut up and I stop asking these dumb questions.
But like, is it an

Speaker 47 old time show? Is it current times?

Speaker 6 It's current. Current times.

Speaker 21 It's current times, and it is the most politically incorrect family you will ever see.

Speaker 83 They're not always good guys.

Speaker 104 You know, they take care of business. And when that means taking care of business,

Speaker 10 if that means, you know, shoot the guy in the head and go over state lines and dump his body off a cliff, that's what it means.

Speaker 6 Right. That is politically incorrect.
Yeah, that's politically incorrect.

Speaker 47 That's one way to do it.

Speaker 39 But it is just this family that will not give up their way of life.

Speaker 80 They've owned this ranch through generations, 1886.

Speaker 33 That's why the spin-off is coming, 1886. And it takes place in 1886.

Speaker 7 And it's about his great-great-grandfather that started the ranch.

Speaker 28 Okay.

Speaker 33 But the Costner character is in real time today.

Speaker 42 And

Speaker 71 it is, you know, the people in New York and the

Speaker 14 and the press should watch Yellowstone.

Speaker 78 You want to understand America?

Speaker 55 Watch Yellowstone.

Speaker 16 It's a lot closer than most of the crap coming out of television from the big cities.

Speaker 16 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 5 All right, let me tell you about American financing.

Speaker 33 No time like the present to get your finances under control.

Speaker 76 I was just in the break reading another story here.

Speaker 33 Let me see if I can find it about what the Fed is going to do.

Speaker 100 Federal Reserve expected to take a very big step towards its first rate hike today.

Speaker 33 This will change the economy and not necessarily

Speaker 14 to a good way.

Speaker 10 And it will also block you out of saving some of the money that

Speaker 76 you can get right now with American Financing.

Speaker 7 If your payment is in the threes or above your interest rate, please call American Financing today.

Speaker 63 If they signal this hard, you'll start to see the banks start to raise the rates on you.

Speaker 59 Not on them, but on you.

Speaker 22 American Financing 800-906-2440.

Speaker 19 Please do this today.

Speaker 50 American Financing.net.

Speaker 8 American Financing.net 800-906-2440.

Speaker 8 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 8 This

Speaker 8 is

Speaker 8 the Glenback program.

Speaker 116 Is anyone else

Speaker 33 really falling deeply in love with Elon Musk?

Speaker 22 I mean, I know, I know that we don't agree on an awful lot, but this guy is just non-stop afraid, which I love.

Speaker 66 Yesterday, Elon Musk, no, non-stop, no, no, no, non-stop unafraid.

Speaker 8 Thank you. I was going to say, that's not something I usually would see you praising.

Speaker 38 Right, non-stop unafraid when it comes to really any subject.

Speaker 36 Yesterday, he got into a Twitter war with Elizabeth Warren, and to say there were no survivors on Elizabeth Warren's side, I think is safe.

Speaker 133 I think that's safe to say.

Speaker 34 We'll tell you about that.

Speaker 28 And more importantly,

Speaker 36 does that indicate that the conservative point of view is winning?

Speaker 25 I want to explain a thought on that.

Speaker 22 It's the answer is yes and no.

Speaker 43 And both of them, I think, are good.

Speaker 22 But we'll share that in 60 seconds.

Speaker 22 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 39 What distinguishes a truly great real estate agent from merely an adequate one, or worse, a bad one?

Speaker 18 Question on my mind several years ago.

Speaker 60 It's the question that eventually sparked the idea for the company I started called Real Estate AgentsITrust.com.

Speaker 21 Right now, the housing market is running with its hair on fire, and nobody knows when things are going to calm down.

Speaker 22 You need somebody to help you safely navigate these tricky real estate waters and get safely where you're going.

Speaker 104 It's Real Estate Agents I Trust.

Speaker 79 It's a free service to you.

Speaker 22 Our way of ensuring that you're going to get the best agent possible to help you through the process.

Speaker 58 Somebody who knows the best practices, who's dedicated to making sure that you have the best selling or buying process possible available to you.

Speaker 43 Our agents are in it to win it for you.

Speaker 22 Realestateagents I trust.com.

Speaker 41 The name says it all.

Speaker 61 Realestateagents I trust.com.

Speaker 106 So Elon Musk, yesterday, he was named Times, the Time magazine's 21

Speaker 117 person of the year.

Speaker 6 So

Speaker 61 Elizabeth Warren tweets, let's change the rig tax code so the person of the year will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading off everyone else.

Speaker 31 Musk followed up saying, stop projecting.

Speaker 99 You remind me of when I was a kid and my friend's angry mom would just randomly yell at everyone for no reason.

Speaker 77 In another.

Speaker 47 That is her profile.

Speaker 113 It is. It is.

Speaker 22 She's angry.

Speaker 47 She's always angry in that voice. Yeah, I know.
I mean, this is why, of course, she didn't even come close to winning the primary.

Speaker 67 I think she did better than...

Speaker 6 Kamalo, didn't she?

Speaker 47 I mean, that's not a standard, though.

Speaker 47 Is that really the standard you're shooting for?

Speaker 52 In another tweet, he said, oh, please don't call the manager on me, Senator Karen.

Speaker 25 I love this.

Speaker 22 And I love this guy because he just

Speaker 34 says out loud what a lot of people think.

Speaker 21 And he is a guy who I have real problems with at times because now he's saying, you know, no subsidies should be available.

Speaker 103 Well, after he got his subsidy.

Speaker 98 So is he kicking the door behind him to stop everybody else?

Speaker 63 Or has he really had a change of heart?

Speaker 10 Hopefully, he's really had a change of heart.

Speaker 13 But I don't know.

Speaker 78 But

Speaker 29 here's what I want to talk to you about.

Speaker 121 I'm not sure

Speaker 38 if the people that we have,

Speaker 33 quote unquote, coming over to our side

Speaker 38 have actually really changed,

Speaker 29 other than

Speaker 117 they realize their side is really dangerous now.

Speaker 19 So, in other words, are they like Republicans that joined the Tea Party that realized, I got to be out of this Republican Party because it doesn't, they don't stand for anything. And we realize that.

Speaker 38 And while we torch the Republican Party, many of us will still vote for the Republican Party.

Speaker 46 Do you understand what I'm saying?

Speaker 113 So I'm not sure if these guys

Speaker 57 have had a real awakening to our argument, or they're now seeing the people they've been standing in the room with, and they're like, I don't want to be with these people.

Speaker 22 This is crazy. And so they've revealed themselves as the true, more libertarian liberal that they always have been.

Speaker 47 Yeah, I see what you're saying. You see what I mean? Yeah, I think that's, I mean, the Overton window is

Speaker 47 back

Speaker 47 in effect here. We talked about this with Bob Costas the other day, who

Speaker 47 he had this call with Jim Garrity,

Speaker 47 who had criticized him for some of his monologues about guns and the Washington Redskins team name and said he was, you know, as we did as well, that he was, Bob Costas seems like a crazy liberal.

Speaker 47 And Costas called up and said, hey, I'm not that guy. I'm not far left.
And just the fact that he would want to disagree.

Speaker 47 with being outed as someone who is far left indicates he probably isn't far left. Because the AOC never comes up and says, no, I'm really not socialist.
That's not what these people do anymore.

Speaker 47 That's an old era

Speaker 47 of liberal.

Speaker 21 And what's weird is they are now separating themselves.

Speaker 22 They were the ones who would have said, Glenn Beck's crazy, saying that everybody's a Marxist.

Speaker 106 You know, we're not Marxist when, you know, Newsweek magazine ran the headline,

Speaker 84 we're all Marx socialist now.

Speaker 6 And they were the ones that would jump on the bandwagon defending the people people who were on the Democratic side that were truly Marxist.

Speaker 32 Now,

Speaker 56 did they just not believe that?

Speaker 62 Or have they had

Speaker 5 an awakening to Marxism?

Speaker 38 Were they always part of this kind of Marxist soup and they've just backed up and said, okay, this is not going to work here?

Speaker 27 Or were they just truly a blind liberal that just thought the party is the party and were not Marxists?

Speaker 47 Yeah, maybe they thought it was just overblown. Republicans were saying these things and they're not true.
And to be fair, there were a lot more on the left side that weren't Marxist.

Speaker 47 I mean, Joe Biden used to very much sound like a normal Democrat. If you go back to the 90s, you can go back to the 90s.

Speaker 47 We were talking about this with San Francisco a little earlier when it comes to crime. There's a version of Joe Biden that could do very well in this country today.
The 1994...

Speaker 43 That's the version that people voted, thought they were voting for.

Speaker 47 Thought they were voting And that's why he got elected. And you go back to 1994, he's got the crime bill.
He's trying to hold people accountable for criminal actions.

Speaker 47 Now he's saying that was racist, and I apologize for it when that sort of action is needed most, as we're seeing in San Francisco now.

Speaker 47 So I think it's come a long way. You know, Elon Musk, I don't know exactly where he comes from on the subsidies sort of thing.
He's now saying he doesn't want them for

Speaker 47 anybody, which I love. I mean, that's what I believe as well.

Speaker 47 However, obviously his company was built on them. I mean, Tesla was built on this.

Speaker 25 That's why I wonder, is he kicking the door closed for everybody else?

Speaker 47 I don't think so. I don't think that's him.
You know, maybe he just

Speaker 47 didn't emphasize it a lot back then, or maybe he just liked the idea that he could get his company started. I don't know.

Speaker 47 But you left out, I think, the most important part of this exchange with Elizabeth Warren when he points out he will pay more taxes than any American in U.S. history this year.

Speaker 47 Now, Elizabeth Warren is so dumb that she's actually criticizing a person for not paying taxes who's paying the most taxes of anyone in history.

Speaker 47 Has there ever been a bigger miss of a tweet than Elizabeth Warren's? Think about it.

Speaker 6 Seriously, I'm not saying that he's paying more taxes

Speaker 6 than anyone in history.

Speaker 47 He's paying more than anyone in history, and she said he paid nothing.

Speaker 87 There is literally no way to miss more than she missed.

Speaker 6 And

Speaker 44 George Washington never died because he is Satan.

Speaker 47 I died.

Speaker 6 I guess.

Speaker 82 That's questionable.

Speaker 70 You know, you could still question, maybe.

Speaker 47 We can't quantify that. We can quantify the Elon Musk situation.
And he, of course, followed it up with, don't spend it all at once. Oh, wait, you did already.

Speaker 6 That's so great. That is true.
So great.

Speaker 52 Now, so the question is.

Speaker 39 People are waking up, but what are they waking up to?

Speaker 22 Are they waking up and saying, conservatives are right?

Speaker 40 Or are they just waking up to the things that we've always had in common?

Speaker 79 Where conservatives, the people like us, have said, guys, we didn't change. You changed.

Speaker 107 You changed.

Speaker 70 The Democratic Party is no longer fighting for what you say you believe in.

Speaker 39 They're not fighting for the Bill of Rights.

Speaker 106 They are fighting for socialism and communism and a fundamental transformation of America.

Speaker 6 Well,

Speaker 40 I hope that they are waking up especially to the Democratic Party thing.

Speaker 104 Because do you remember it was racist to say anyone was a Marxist.

Speaker 130 It was crazy to say somebody in the Democratic Party is a communist.

Speaker 78 Well, tell me what you think of this story.

Speaker 53 Senator Richard Blumenthal from Connecticut, one of the worst people in the world.

Speaker 117 spoke at an awards ceremony over the weekend hosted by a Communist Party affiliate whose leaders use the event to recruit potential members into the Communist Party.

Speaker 22 Now, he's one of the wealthiest members of the Senate, which let's put that aside because actually it's his wife.

Speaker 45 I just love a man who never really even created wealth but is living off of his wife.

Speaker 7 It's so beautiful.

Speaker 39 Blumenthal appeared, even as Democratic leaders have downplayed allegations that many in the party support socialist or communist policies. So they are still saying, no, we don't support that.

Speaker 56 But then how do you explain Blumenthal

Speaker 74 going and speaking at the Communist Party event?

Speaker 57 Blumenthal was introduced at the event by Lisa Bergman, a Communist Party member who blamed corporations for the imperialism that exists in our world that is undermining the labor and environment movement.

Speaker 22 She also had, there was another communist MC, Ben McManus, issued invitations at the ceremony to join the Communist Party.

Speaker 21 And I quote: If you're not already part of the Communist Party, we invite you to participate and contribute and join.

Speaker 114 There's more and more people talking about socialism in this country as it becomes more and more clear that capitalism is not going to work for our future.

Speaker 82 So tell me what's happening there.

Speaker 32 Democrats, explain this.

Speaker 76 Can you imagine if somebody said, I am definitely not part of the Klan,

Speaker 22 but then you're invited to speak at a Klan

Speaker 67 awards ceremony and you speak.

Speaker 40 And when you're speaking, everybody's like, and by the way, make sure you join the Klan on the way out.

Speaker 107 How would you explain that?

Speaker 21 Because I think that would be unexplainable.

Speaker 132 I think anybody who did that, it would be pretty hard to say, oh yeah, he's not Klan-friendly.

Speaker 6 No way. No way.

Speaker 28 How is it that the Democrats don't care that they are now having Dick Blumenthal,

Speaker 107 a guy who's not known

Speaker 37 in the media circles as the radical?

Speaker 110 He's kind of the law enforcement kind of guy.

Speaker 83 I just want to make sure that everything is running and really buttoned up.

Speaker 76 I'm certainly not a communist.

Speaker 6 Really?

Speaker 56 Then why are you speaking at the Communist Party awards ceremony?

Speaker 6 We have to wake our friends and family up.

Speaker 6 And this is why I've been saying for a while, our unum has always been the Bill of Rights.

Speaker 47 When Biden says freedom, we're just talking about you having to get a vaccine.

Speaker 40 What's the big deal?

Speaker 108 The big deal is the government doesn't have the right to tell me what to put into my body.

Speaker 40 That's the big deal.

Speaker 71 You don't have a right, so stop trying to do it.

Speaker 40 You don't have a right to force companies to make me do it.

Speaker 107 You don't have the right to do it.

Speaker 40 Today is the day that the

Speaker 69 founders enshrined the Bill of Rights.

Speaker 88 They were very important.

Speaker 26 They still are.

Speaker 106 And those were the things that brought us together.

Speaker 6 Not our policies, not who we voted for, not things that we have to tax or not tax.

Speaker 105 It was the Bill of Rights.

Speaker 35 And when you have leaders of the Democratic Party speaking at the Communist Party annual awards,

Speaker 78 you don't have people who believe in the Bill of Rights.

Speaker 6 You have people who are working with or standing with people who are undermining the Bill of Rights.

Speaker 40 And that's the one thing we should still all have in common.

Speaker 58 What is it that you're going to do to shore up your financial house?

Speaker 22 Where are the areas you can save money?

Speaker 9 More importantly, where are the areas where you're not saving money?

Speaker 58 It's a difficult thing to do, but it's made a lot less difficult if you pick up the phone and call American Financing and do it today.

Speaker 45 The Fed is meeting today, and they're expected to lay down the hammer and let everybody know what's coming next year when it comes to interest rate hikes.

Speaker 133 They're expecting to hike.

Speaker 83 If they say this is coming right after the new year, I think the banks are going to start just doing it on their own before the Fed does, because they'll make extra money.

Speaker 22 American Financing doesn't work for these banks.

Speaker 10 They work for you, and they're going to find the best financing for you, whether it's a consolidation loan, a refi, or a new mortgage.

Speaker 6 So,

Speaker 132 Stu, help me out on this.

Speaker 45 You remember the most admired man thing.

Speaker 9 It comes out every year, right? Yes. Okay.

Speaker 35 The most admired men for 2021.

Speaker 6 Number one, Barack Obama.

Speaker 27 Thank God. Number two, Bill Gates.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 43 Number three,

Speaker 56 Zi Zingping.

Speaker 66 Number four, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Speaker 47 The soccer player.

Speaker 35 Number five, Jackie Chan.

Speaker 6 Number six,

Speaker 28 Jackie Chan.

Speaker 35 Number six,

Speaker 32 Jackie Chan.

Speaker 6 The actor? The actor. Jackie Chan.

Speaker 47 I mean, he seems like a nice guy.

Speaker 114 I'll stop dwelling on Jackie Chan. Number six, Elon Musk.

Speaker 79 Number seven,

Speaker 38 Prime Minister Modi from

Speaker 6 India, right?

Speaker 68 Number nine, Vladimir Putin.

Speaker 47 We skip number eight. Who's eight? Was eight Modi?

Speaker 101 Modi. Yeah.

Speaker 65 Number ten, Jack Ma.

Speaker 6 Jack Putin.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 6 Jack Ma. Okay.
Now, what do you notice about that list?

Speaker 47 There's an international flavor to it, I would say.

Speaker 63 There is an international flavor to it.

Speaker 47 It seems like a lot of leaders of the largest countries are on the list.

Speaker 71 And do you want to be on a list that features Bill Gates, Gates, Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin?

Speaker 32 Because I really.

Speaker 47 I mean, unless it's a wealth list. Yeah.

Speaker 6 I don't think all three of those I'd like to buy a list.

Speaker 121 So now who's not on this list?

Speaker 6 You.

Speaker 6 You are not on this list.

Speaker 47 Now you've been on this list in the past.

Speaker 29 Okay, hang on just a second.

Speaker 80 Who's not on this list?

Speaker 12 Well, I don't know, the president of the United States.

Speaker 22 Yeah, usually you'd think.

Speaker 66 He's usually number one, usually always the top three.

Speaker 47 Now, a former president of the United States is number one.

Speaker 58 Yes, Barack Obama.

Speaker 46 At number 13 is Donald Trump.

Speaker 6 So

Speaker 6 where

Speaker 117 is our dear beloved leader?

Speaker 21 He's at number 20.

Speaker 58 Wow.

Speaker 47 Joe Biden. That's really low.

Speaker 16 I've never seen that before.

Speaker 33 He's number 20.

Speaker 52 Now, I would say, I mean, this is a weird list because, you know, I had to look up some of these people.

Speaker 61 I'm like the soccer players.

Speaker 80 I'm like, who the hell is that?

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 39 And it's hard to believe.

Speaker 71 This is the list from 2009.

Speaker 6 Number one, Barack Obama.

Speaker 43 Number two, George W. Bush.

Speaker 15 Number three, Nelson Mandela.

Speaker 6 Number four, Glenn Beck.

Speaker 48 Number five, Pope Benedict.

Speaker 5 Six, Billy Graham.

Speaker 79 Seven, Bill Gates.

Speaker 50 Eight, John McCain, George H.W.

Speaker 40 Bush.

Speaker 50 ten, tide, Bill Clinton, and Tiger Woods.

Speaker 6 Now,

Speaker 32 that's insane.

Speaker 95 But what do you notice about all of those names?

Speaker 6 All of those names.

Speaker 21 With an exception of Nelson Mandela and Pope Benedict, they're all American-centric.

Speaker 47 There is not an international flavor to that.

Speaker 6 Correct. Correct.

Speaker 42 Isn't that interesting how now,

Speaker 6 suddenly, we are also international.

Speaker 47 Now, is that they changing the methodology in any way? Is there...

Speaker 115 This one, this one is being put out by yougov.co.uk.

Speaker 40 So this is being labeled as the

Speaker 66 man of the year, the men of the year, and they're giving us these top 10, which Vladimir Putin and Zi Jingping at number three should set you off, should say, you know, I don't really trust this list.

Speaker 22 And I think this list is being pushed out because you just don't want Donald Trump in the top 10, especially if you just take the American-centric people in, the people that Americans would know, including Jackie Chan, that would put Donald Trump at number seven.

Speaker 38 And I believe Biden either at 10 or 11.

Speaker 33 So Biden wouldn't make it.

Speaker 6 It's incredible.

Speaker 79 It's crazy.

Speaker 47 It shows a massive problem Biden has going forward, too, which is not only does you have the right, you have the right that's just obviously does not agree with him, you have the middle who is noticing how terrible he is, and you have the left who has no passion for him.

Speaker 47 So there's just nothing there. He's a giant zilch of a president, and he continues to make things much, much worse.
So I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 47 It's going to be difficult for him if if he does decide to run again.

Speaker 110 By the way, Kamala Harris is number 11 on the most admired women.

Speaker 22 Nine points ahead of her boss.

Speaker 6 That's how bad things are.

Speaker 6 Yes.

Speaker 6 Exit.

Speaker 6 All right, you bought that lottery ticket last week.

Speaker 22 Your ship is just about to come in.

Speaker 12 And when that happens, you're going to be a gazillionaire.

Speaker 28 And you won't have to worry.

Speaker 33 If your car breaks down.

Speaker 83 You can just throw it away and buy a new one.

Speaker 6 Well, maybe that'll happen,

Speaker 5 but I wouldn't count on it.

Speaker 61 I would count on my car being out of warranty and then it starts to break down.

Speaker 25 That's why you have Car Shield.

Speaker 21 When you have one of Car Shield's many affordable plans, you're going to be in great shape for any covered repair.

Speaker 18 Nationwide roadside assistance, a rental car, the mechanic of your choice, what's not to love.

Speaker 39 CarShield will will deal directly with the mechanic so you don't have to worry about any of it.

Speaker 50 Yesterday, I told you a little bit about Facebook, something that people are not paying attention to.

Speaker 16 They should.

Speaker 110 Facebook is in a court battle with John Stossel.

Speaker 60 I have his attorney on with us at the top of next hour, so just about 25 minutes away.

Speaker 102 But

Speaker 22 John Stossel has sued because of a fact-check from Facebook that he says defamed him because they said that his facts were false.

Speaker 35 And John says, No, I've been in the fact-checking business, you know, most of my life, and I know the difference between fact and false, and this isn't false.

Speaker 121 Well, he fought this, and in court now, Facebook has issued something

Speaker 45 in their defense.

Speaker 121 They say opinions are not subject to defamation claims, while false assertions of fact can be subject to defamation.

Speaker 27 So they're saying fact-check articles, this is a quote, fact-check articles are not the labels affixed through Facebook platform.

Speaker 85 The labels themselves are nearly near neither false nor defamatory.

Speaker 39 To the contrary, they constitute protected opinion.

Speaker 19 Now, the way I read that is

Speaker 47 fact check

Speaker 22 doesn't have to be based in facts.

Speaker 68 They can, if they have an opinion that says, no, that's not right,

Speaker 42 then

Speaker 32 they can claim that our facts are wrong, trumped by their opinion, which is the case we have been making the whole time.

Speaker 68 Where is the line for your opinion and facts?

Speaker 6 Because we know what the facts are.

Speaker 22 You can then go in and say, we disagree, but who are you to say we disagree on our opinion?

Speaker 111 We're arguing facts.

Speaker 47 As John points out,

Speaker 47 they can pretty much do what they want on their website.

Speaker 47 However, it's a terrible way of doing business, especially for somebody who claims they want to be the source of the public square conversation.

Speaker 47 They don't seem to act that way. And

Speaker 47 Twitter is doing something today where they are penalizing users who claim vaccinated people can spread COVID-19. Now,

Speaker 47 every study, every study from the literal beginning has said that if you have,

Speaker 47 if you are vaccinated, you have a chance, a lower chance, but a chance of spreading COVID-19. There's never been a study that has said it's going to prevent every single case of spread.

Speaker 47 It's never occurred.

Speaker 54 So how are they?

Speaker 47 And they're saying that if you say, hey, you know what? I think

Speaker 47 you can spread it if you are vaccinated, which is true by literally every scientific report, including the scientists who work at Pfizer.

Speaker 47 Okay? That doesn't mean that they're terrible and they're the worst thing in the world. It doesn't mean anything like that.
But it does mean that, of course,

Speaker 47 some people are the facts.

Speaker 47 You know, this is from the CDC website. If you are fully vaccinated and become infected with a Delta variant, you can spread the virus to others.

Speaker 47 Infections happen only in a small proportion of people who are fully vaccinated, even with a delta variant, as compared to people who are not vaccinated.

Speaker 47 But that does say, both of those things say you can get it and you can spread it. It can happen.

Speaker 47 So, and it seems to be even worse when it comes to Omicron. If that thing catches on here, which it looks looks like it may.

Speaker 85 So

Speaker 47 to punish the, like you are punishing people for saying things that are on the CDC website.

Speaker 29 Hurry while they last on the website.

Speaker 132 Pointer.org has just fact-checked my recent COVID special.

Speaker 29 More specifically, the question, does the government co-own the vaccine, the COVID-19 vaccine?

Speaker 66 They also questioned my question on whether the government may have ulterior motives in mandating the vaccine.

Speaker 79 And here's their fact check.

Speaker 21 Is it true the government, and it should be, co-owns the vaccine, but is it true the government owns the vaccine, as Beck said?

Speaker 117 In short,

Speaker 6 no.

Speaker 121 Okay, in short, no.

Speaker 110 How about we look at the long form then?

Speaker 75 I mean, why add in short?

Speaker 22 It's a yes or no question.

Speaker 18 Well, this is a topic that requires a short explanation.

Speaker 16 I guess I would personally say no, as the COVID origin story and the vaccine origin story are the biggest topics in the world right now.

Speaker 83 It's not even close, but it kind of seems like this fact check agrees because they follow up in their little in-short no remark with this little tidbit, and I quote, but

Speaker 57 As the New York Times reported November 9th, there is a long-brewing disagreement between Moderna and the National Institute of Health over who developed a crucial part of the COVID-19 vaccine known as the mRNA sequence.

Speaker 77 And that could have implications for ownership of important patents related to the vaccine.

Speaker 51 So in other words, no,

Speaker 54 no, they don't co-own it.

Speaker 6 No.

Speaker 66 In fact, to prove it, there's a court battle right now going on between the government and Moderna, and they're battling out in court to see who owns it or not.

Speaker 2 Well, wait a minute.

Speaker 18 I showed you the document with the signature and said, what's this all about?

Speaker 78 Did you know?

Speaker 40 Did you know that they co-owned?

Speaker 52 Did you know this was happening?

Speaker 107 Don't you think?

Speaker 97 Because if they're getting money or anyone in the NIH is getting money,

Speaker 37 we should know about it because that might, you know, be an ulterior

Speaker 47 And by the way, we had conversations before this special even aired off the air. Yes.
Talking about all of the points they bring up here and making sure that we included the nuance that existed.

Speaker 47 And then they, instead of fact-checking the special, they didn't fact-check the special, they fact-checked TikTok.

Speaker 47 They fact-checked what part of the special went viral on TikTok, which is pretty frustrating. I don't know how we're supposed to control that.
Yeah.

Speaker 106 Poynter also points this out: quote, a lot of money is at stake, as well as

Speaker 22 a big say in the distribution of vaccines worldwide.

Speaker 69 If the NIH scientists were named as inventors on the sequence patent, that would enable the government to collect royalties on the patent and to license it as it sees fit, including some have noted to other vaccine manufacturers besides Moderna.

Speaker 54 The result could have long-term consequences for global vaccine access.

Speaker 2 Well, now maybe it's just me, but a lot of money is

Speaker 22 at stake.

Speaker 108 Kind of sounds like maybe we should look for arterior motives.

Speaker 106 It's interesting how they point out royalties to be paid to the government because if you go down to page 125 on the agreement that we showed you between Moderna and the government, you'll find an interesting appendix called Royalties Appendix.

Speaker 118 Now, if there's no co-ownership, why is there a a royalties appendix?

Speaker 66 It says if any vaccine is produced based off their collaborative research, then Moderna would owe the government an initial sum 60 days after the signing of this agreement, October 2019, and then every year annually.

Speaker 33 If you scroll down to page 127,

Speaker 70 the government instructs how those royalties would be paid.

Speaker 65 Now, why would Moderna be paying the federal government?

Speaker 22 In fact, there's even an account number on page 127 that shows that the money should be directed to the Federal Reserve Bank.

Speaker 6 I don't know.

Speaker 97 That kind of sounds like money is changing hands or could change hands if they co-owned this, if they developed it and they said, no, we developed this all by ourselves, then no money changes hands.

Speaker 106 No, we have a co-ownership co-ownership and we gave you the mRNA

Speaker 7 mechanics and you added this so we're partners on it.

Speaker 40 That's what it says.

Speaker 78 How is Pointer doing this?

Speaker 57 They found also no suspicion at all that Dr.

Speaker 106 Barrick was included in the collaboration between Moderna and the NIH.

Speaker 57 Not even a little suspect that the government and Moderna were working on a coronavirus mRNA vaccine and that they were sending research back and forth with the man, Barrick, who was working with Dr.

Speaker 95 Xi and Wuhan on coronavirus.

Speaker 77 There's no interest in that.

Speaker 97 This is the same Wuhan where the pandemic began.

Speaker 5 It's not worthy of a question, I guess.

Speaker 132 And by the way, I have questions.

Speaker 18 We all should have questions.

Speaker 123 The facts are this.

Speaker 29 The government and Moderna have been collaborating on a coronavirus vaccine since 2015.

Speaker 69 The contract specifically states co-ownership of vaccine candidates and on page 24, all data and material produced along the way.

Speaker 40 Royalties have been negotiated.

Speaker 107 Royalties are in the contract.

Speaker 71 Dr.

Speaker 78 Barrick, the man who had been working on coronavirus research with Dr.

Speaker 40 Xi, was included.

Speaker 51 And now there's a dispute between the government and Moderna on who owns what.

Speaker 128 That's the fact, Poynter.

Speaker 18 But don't worry, nothing to see here. Pointers got it.

Speaker 6 They're smarter than you.

Speaker 42 You know,

Speaker 116 it's just the government trying to mandate a vaccine that they're currently fighting on how much of it they were involved with inventing.

Speaker 52 And then the contract that states in black and white the royalties that should be paid to the federal bank.

Speaker 70 If anything is produced based off their collaboration.

Speaker 73 Nothing to see here.

Speaker 66 There's no ulterior motive.

Speaker 118 There's no co-ownership at all.

Speaker 87 So what the hell does this even mean?

Speaker 31 That's why I'm asking.

Speaker 127 There is no precedent for this.

Speaker 22 And if the government or government employees are going to benefit even a little off of a federal policy that contributes to that benefit, we should be asking these questions.

Speaker 70 That's what the media used to do.

Speaker 31 That's what Pointer

Speaker 44 says their whole mission is.

Speaker 56 I fact check Pointer.

Speaker 115 They're liars.

Speaker 105 They are liars specifically here.

Speaker 115 They're liars.

Speaker 99 Fact check that opinion, Pointer.

Speaker 43 Okay, let me tell you about Built Bar.

Speaker 22 You are listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 7 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 33 Thank you so much for listening.

Speaker 129 I have Ron DeSantis on tonight.

Speaker 116 He is probably the second most hated leader in America, according to the left.

Speaker 6 And why do people

Speaker 6 hate him?

Speaker 126 Because the media told you to,

Speaker 9 I think. I think, yeah.

Speaker 76 Very few politicians receive constant scrutiny that the Florida government, Ron DeSantis, has endured over the last couple of years. Elected governor in 2018, relative unknown.

Speaker 33 And three years later, thanks to the way he handled the pandemic in Florida, he's now a household name, who is mentioned as a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2024.

Speaker 19 It's meteoric.

Speaker 81 A rise for a politician doesn't happen like this.

Speaker 33 For a Republican, it can mean really only one thing, and that is he drives the left out of his mind.

Speaker 114 So we're going to talk to him tonight.

Speaker 6 The full hour,

Speaker 45 Ron DeSantis, live one-on-one tonight on my Wednesday night special.

Speaker 33 You don't want to miss it.

Speaker 120 I don't think I've ever done.

Speaker 108 Have we done?

Speaker 47 We had a bond before?

Speaker 118 It was a very short interview as well.

Speaker 47 Yeah, I can't remember, honestly. You know, it's interesting because you look at the, you mentioned the meteoric rise.
If you go back, 2018, he's running for governor.

Speaker 47 He's a congressman, but like, you know, and we knew that may have been when we talked to him. Maybe when he was a congressman.
But he

Speaker 47 is running for governor of Florida. He's the underdog in the race going in.

Speaker 6 He

Speaker 6 wins by 0.4%.

Speaker 47 People think that

Speaker 47 he barely squeaked that out against a guy who then got caught with all sorts of weird drug and sex things going on, Andrew Gillum, who was the rising star at the time,

Speaker 47 whose entire career blew up. So the day before that election, Ron DeSantis looks like he's going to lose and not even be governor of Florida.

Speaker 47 Here we are, three years later, and outside of Donald Trump, if he chooses to run again, is the most mentioned favorite for the Republican nomination.

Speaker 12 Yeah, if Donald Trump weren't, I mean, and I'm not saying that he is going to run, but I think he's going to run.

Speaker 13 Yeah.

Speaker 125 If Trump is not in it, I think DeSantis will be the guy.

Speaker 22 I mean, as long as he just keeps doing what he's doing, he's just so strong on every issue, one after another, after another.

Speaker 18 He's done a good job. He's done a great job.

Speaker 47 And he got a lot of criticism when he was running

Speaker 47 for reasons that I don't think connected with who he actually is. He doesn't seem to be,

Speaker 47 they tried to paint him as this like crazy, like, I don't know, Steve Bannon running for governor. You know what I mean?

Speaker 47 Like, you know, again, like a lot of people, you know, Steve Bannon is who he is, but like he's not a guy who you necessarily nominate to run for governor.

Speaker 6 He's Trump without Twitter.

Speaker 6 Yeah,

Speaker 47 in some ways, I think he is. You know, some people, you you know, he doesn't have a lot of those moments where he doesn't, you know, he's not, he's not bashing Mika Brzezinski for her face surgery.

Speaker 128 Correct.

Speaker 47 Like he doesn't have those moments. Correct.
But he likes fighting with the media. A lot of the things that people like about Trump, he does pretty well.

Speaker 47 And also, he's done a good job running the state. I think, you know, of course, anyone looks good to what we have in the White House at this moment.

Speaker 86 I mean, he does like to troll.

Speaker 21 I mean, he did do a vaccine press conference in Brandon

Speaker 29 in front of Brandon Motors.

Speaker 37 So, you know, he does have that side to him.

Speaker 6 Yeah, he does.

Speaker 38 He's probably the only one that I've seen that can get away with it besides Donald Trump.

Speaker 22 It's going to be a fascinating interview.

Speaker 55 The full hour tonight, the Wednesday night special.

Speaker 36 This is the last Wednesday night special of the year.

Speaker 17 It's going to be great.

Speaker 55 You don't want to miss it tonight.

Speaker 55 Governor Ron DeSantis, 9 p.m.

Speaker 36 Eastern on Blazetv.com and Blaze TV YouTube.

Speaker 36 This is the Glenn Buck Program.

Speaker 129 It is fascinating to me how

Speaker 123 facts, as Ben Shapiro says, facts don't care about your opinions or your feelings.

Speaker 22 Well, now we are taking feelings and opinions and elevating them

Speaker 3 over facts.

Speaker 22 This is exactly what fact check organizations do according to Facebook in a court of law. John Stossel is suing Facebook.

Speaker 22 Facebook just responded and said, you can't sue us for this because these are protected opinions.

Speaker 10 Wait a minute, I thought we were talking about facts.

Speaker 33 We have one of his attorneys on to explain this and explore this in 60 seconds.

Speaker 33 The Glenbeck program.

Speaker 29 Allow me to introduce you to your friendly neighborhood cyber criminal.

Speaker 39 Right about now, he's preparing to go on a Christmas shopping spree.

Speaker 22 Giant flat-screen TV, check.

Speaker 38 New PlayStation, complete with every game that you could imagine, and a few you can't.

Speaker 123 You got it.

Speaker 81 Posters of 80s hitbands like Flock of Seagulls.

Speaker 96 Weirdly, also, yes.

Speaker 79 Here's the kicker.

Speaker 36 He's going to use your money to buy all of that stuff because he was able to hack into your computer, steal your identity, and open himself a nice little account with everything you had saved up.

Speaker 104 If he didn't hack into your computer, somebody else has hacked in and he just assembled all of the parts by buying them on the dark web.

Speaker 39 Nobody can follow everything.

Speaker 86 Nobody can watch every purchase or every transaction.

Speaker 79 It's just not possible.

Speaker 10 But there is somebody.

Speaker 22 who not only is the best in the business, in my opinion, but they also have been doing it the longest and they have

Speaker 6 Hi, Harmeet. Yes.

Speaker 134 Hi. Thanks for having me.

Speaker 98 So

Speaker 29 I can't wrap my arms around this crazy Facebook defense

Speaker 123 that their fact checks are protected opinions.

Speaker 22 And so we can't push back on them while they say we are liars.

Speaker 6 How's that work?

Speaker 134 Well, I don't think it works.

Speaker 134 You know, we've seen this phenomenon now for several years.

Speaker 134 I've seen it with various clients of my firm where they're respected journalists or writers, and they put up material on Twitter, on Facebook, on Instagram, on other platforms. YouTube is another.

Speaker 134 And, you know, these companies have been sued many times. I've sued various of these companies many times on different theories.

Speaker 134 And because of a law called Communications and Decency Act, Section 230, these companies have basically been allowed a government protection from the type of defamation that you or I would be liable for if we said false things about people in other forums.

Speaker 134 And so In this case, as many of your viewers may know, when you're reading an article, and maybe an article you like and you go to share it, or even without going to share it,

Speaker 134 a label pops up that warns you that

Speaker 134 this article that you're reading and you're about to share is false, partly false,

Speaker 134 fake news basically, and then sometimes even getting into some details as to what's false about it.

Speaker 134 And that's what happened here with John Stossel, who's a respected journalist with decades of experience. And he's creating independent content now.

Speaker 134 And on his Facebook page, he posted a couple of videos about two different climate change topics.

Speaker 134 And one was about the forest fires that have consumed California over recent years and in 2020 and what caused them. And he was interviewing experts on forest fires.

Speaker 134 And then in the other one, he's talking about a variety of claims by

Speaker 134 you know, climate activists about

Speaker 134 everything being caused by climate change, you know, hurricanes, fires, you name it.

Speaker 134 And so how these companies try to get around them being called to famers, Facebook and these other big companies, is they hire, and I imagine my air quotes here, they hire independent fact checkers who are really activists themselves, of course.

Speaker 134 They let loose the hounds of independent fact checkers on helpless users of these platforms who are not allowed to fight back, and they rip them to shreds as if it's some kind of a blood sport and there's no appeal process and so you know this climate change group that was tasked with reviewing this one is some French outfit very biased

Speaker 134 a review of their reviews of people's posts shows that in the case of authors who are perceived as conservative they routinely rate them as false or mostly false.

Speaker 134 Lacking context is another nice one that they like to use.

Speaker 134 But in this case, they really got it wrong here,

Speaker 134 factually wrong.

Speaker 134 They attributed to John a statement that he didn't make, namely that

Speaker 134 he said that climate played no role in forest fires. And in fact, he actually said that climate very well may play a role in fires, but it certainly doesn't explain California's fires.

Speaker 134 And there are other explanations that have to do with

Speaker 134 government behavior and choices. And then in the other one, similarly,

Speaker 134 they basically smear him with

Speaker 134 misleading, lacking context, partially false, contains factual inaccuracies.

Speaker 134 So that's the label on the more general video.

Speaker 134 Now, if you're a journalist who's devoted his whole career to getting it right and elucidating the truth to the public, labeling somebody's post as partly false, contains factual inaccuracies, is devastating.

Speaker 134 It would be like telling the world, fixing a label to lawsuits that I filed that they're, you know,

Speaker 134 that they're sanctioned, that they've been sanctioned when they haven't.

Speaker 6 Well,

Speaker 42 honestly, it is like instead of taking the all the news fit to print and changing the subtitle of the New York Times to contains factual inaccuracies.

Speaker 134 Right. Or lacking context.

Speaker 6 Lacking context.

Speaker 38 Yeah, you would, the New York Times would never become the New York Times if that had to be printed on the front page of every newspaper.

Speaker 6 And it's true about the New York Times.

Speaker 134 It's true about the New York Times. And, you know, so

Speaker 134 what, so now these guys are playing a shell game. So we sued them.
But we didn't just sue them. We wrote them letters first, the French, you know,

Speaker 134 climate change outfits. And we, and Facebook now meta, and they changed their name in the the middle of this case.
And

Speaker 134 they wrote back saying, oh, no, no, this is infotainment, basically.

Speaker 134 This is our opinion. It isn't fact-checking at all.
Although it says fact-checkers and fact-checking on it. And we didn't buy it.
I mean, this was devastating to John.

Speaker 134 It drove his viewership down hugely. And for social media writers,

Speaker 134 that's revenue. That's credibility.
That's your professional reputation. That's

Speaker 134 what you're labeled maliciously with in Wikipedia when you die.

Speaker 134 Purveyor of false video

Speaker 134 climate.

Speaker 134 So that's a stench that doesn't wash off and there's no place to wash it off. So he sued as a last resort over this issue.
And Facebook responded,

Speaker 134 this is just our opinion.

Speaker 134 This isn't meant to be fact. You aren't meant to take it literally when we say fact checkers.

Speaker 134 So it's kind of an Orwellian, almost ridiculous situation but so where does this go from black and white where does this go from here

Speaker 134 well there'll be an argument in front of the judge um interestingly our case has bounced around so far amongst two judges uh the second judge just got appointed to the just got you know nominated and confirmed to the ninth circuit last week so we're probably going to be awaiting hearing in front of a third judge uh to see you know what happens with this case and and look

Speaker 134 Facebook has, oh sorry, Meta has overwhelming resources and they just brush these claims aside. And I've dealt with their quote-unquote fact checkers before.
And Glenn,

Speaker 134 your listeners may not know what this industry of fact checkers is. They're, again, air quotes, nonprofits.

Speaker 134 They usually employ washed up or, you know, sort of journalists who don't want to work that hard anymore or activists or both. Some from the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal.

Speaker 134 I've dealt with some very esteemed former journalists who now work for these outfits.

Speaker 134 And all day long, their job is, you know, slap false labels on as many of your enemies and opponents and people who disagree with you as possible, laugh quietly, and go out for a cocktail.

Speaker 134 That's the deal. And it's not right.
And if you or I did this and called a journalist's work false, partly false,

Speaker 134 lacking context, that would be harmful and you or I could get sued. So the same should be true of Facebook.

Speaker 134 And Communications Decency Act, Section 230, is not, as these big tech companies repeatedly claim, a license to lie, smear, defame,

Speaker 134 and devastate users.

Speaker 129 But that's exactly what

Speaker 6 it does over and over and over again.

Speaker 129 We have had fact checks from these same people.

Speaker 22 We've had fact checks where they claimed that something we said was false because it comes from

Speaker 116 a study that on page 435 made another claim that we weren't making that was proven false.

Speaker 6 Right.

Speaker 22 But because

Speaker 71 the part that wasn't false was also in that same study with something that was,

Speaker 22 we were fact checked as wrong.

Speaker 6 And it's like, wait, right.

Speaker 134 And when you look at the label, I'm just reading from it, from our complaint,

Speaker 134 the label, big, big box, missing context. And then it says, from independent fact checkers, and then there's another little label, fact check,

Speaker 134 science, climate change, et cetera. And then it says about this notice.
Independent fact checkers say this information is missing context and could mislead people.

Speaker 134 And then it says, learn more about how Facebook works with independent fact checkers to stop the spread of false information. So it goes on to say this is false.

Speaker 134 So, I mean, I don't know how much more clear you can be. So claiming it's now,

Speaker 134 it's news to me.

Speaker 134 And by the way, they're asking every user of Facebook to somehow guess that their

Speaker 134 fact check is simply

Speaker 134 their opinion commentary. Right.

Speaker 60 And on top of it, they not only label you with that, but they also then, the algorithm shoves you down.

Speaker 104 And on top of that, now I've noticed some of them are not even letting you share the story.

Speaker 9 It won't,

Speaker 5 you can't,

Speaker 63 it's there.

Speaker 8 It'll say it's false.

Speaker 16 But if you try to share the story because you disagree with their opinion, you can't even share the story.

Speaker 80 I mean,

Speaker 133 it's a gulag system

Speaker 64 at Facebook.

Speaker 73 What can the average person do?

Speaker 6 Well,

Speaker 134 you know, the average person can

Speaker 134 follow this lawsuit, talk about it, mock Facebook. I don't know.
And, you know, we have to eventually, hopefully, find some platforms that don't lie, defame, steal our information, and play games.

Speaker 134 But ultimately, Glenn, the only remedy for this, for the citizens, for the users of social media around the world is

Speaker 134 our members of Congress and our president when they are right-thinking people need to change Communications Decency Act section 230 to make it clear that it is no longer appropriate for these companies to use its protections as a complete carte blanche for doing whatever they want.

Speaker 134 There have to be some norms and some rules. There should be a user's bill of rights.
There needs to be an appeals process for this.

Speaker 134 And these companies have to face some form of liability because so far, court after court after court has let them out scot-free.

Speaker 134 And frankly, even conservative think tanks, and I'm using those air quotes again, and conservative nonprofits and conservative lawmakers have all bought the big tech lobbyist propaganda that these types of quote-unquote protections for these trillion-dollar corporations are necessary to ensure free speech.

Speaker 134 No, they are. They're no more necessary to ensure free speech than a taking away defamation liability is necessary for you or I or the New York Times to stop defaming people.

Speaker 134 It is, in fact, that liability that reins people in from going too far. So we all know the difference between a fact check and an opinion.
And nobody's suing over an opinion here.

Speaker 134 They're suing over a false accusation of lying in an article.

Speaker 74 Exactly right.

Speaker 38 Thank you so much, Harmee Dillon.

Speaker 21 We'll be watching this, and our best to John Stossel and everybody on your team.

Speaker 6 Thank you.

Speaker 129 Our sponsor this half hour is Goldline.

Speaker 103 It has become very apparent in recent months that the current administration, what it lacks in knowledge on what the causes are of inflation, also it lacks in knowledge of what to do to fix it, if they're even looking for that.

Speaker 8 This is getting worse and worse and worse.

Speaker 13 Do we have the audio of Joe Biden on a a television news program last night in Ohio talking and trying to sell his Build Back Better program to the people of Ohio?

Speaker 6 Listen to this.

Speaker 47 What do you say to people in the Dayton area, Mr. President, who have expressed concerns about whether trillions more in federal spending will help when you have an inflation at a near 40-year high?

Speaker 94 The way I say to them, this is not going to cost a single solitary penny. We're not going to increase the deficit by one cent in the Build Back Better Plan at all.

Speaker 50 Boy, I'd like to fact-check that one.

Speaker 47 Is that true? Eliminated from social media?

Speaker 52 Right.

Speaker 80 Is there anyone who actually believes that as a program, that it's all paid for?

Speaker 10 Nobody should believe that.

Speaker 47 Even if it is all paid for, saying that it's paid for means it does cost a cent.

Speaker 47 Right? Like by definition, it literally means that. And of course, they're lying about it being paid for.

Speaker 21 Well, it's not.

Speaker 33 It's going to cost somebody something.

Speaker 28 And somebody is already paying a lot for it.

Speaker 40 And that somebody is everyone.

Speaker 39 Inflation.

Speaker 38 You cannot continue to print so much money and dump it into the system.

Speaker 70 This is inflation.

Speaker 6 Goldline

Speaker 81 would like to remind you that the hedge against inflation, the hedge against insanity, we're a year into this and we're at the worst inflation we've seen in 40 years.

Speaker 43 Give it another year.

Speaker 40 Give it build back better.

Speaker 39 You're going to see the worst inflation we've seen since the depression soon.

Speaker 33 And gold is the hedge against inflation.

Speaker 39 This week, Goldline is offering 6% in promotional medals for qualifying self-directed IRA acquisitions.

Speaker 81 Please call an account executive today, 866Goldline, 866Goldline, or goldline.com.

Speaker 33 10 seconds, station ID.

Speaker 129 You know, Stu, we were talking earlier today on the podcast about

Speaker 28 how

Speaker 104 San Francisco, the mayor of San Francisco, is coming out and saying, this is going to end.

Speaker 29 We have got to have more financing for the police.

Speaker 18 We're going in the other direction because this is the wrong direction.

Speaker 6 And it was pretty amazing she was angry about it

Speaker 95 and whether that is whether that's real or just posturing I don't know but time will tell but more and more people are starting to get a little angry at things I want to play a cot

Speaker 39 cot 11 this is a guy going off on make-a-wish listen to this

Speaker 135 I can't believe you f ⁇ ing people. I can't believe that these things are actually happening to our f country.
I got a text, a message from a friend of mine here on Staten Island.

Speaker 135 His four-year-old kid, his ill four-year-old kid, was refused by the Make-A-Wish Foundation for his f ⁇ ing wish because he's not vaccinated at four

Speaker 135 years old.

Speaker 59 You

Speaker 135 people succumb to this fing bull

Speaker 135 with this 99.7%

Speaker 135 survival rate,

Speaker 6 bull

Speaker 135 virus.

Speaker 135 You should be ashamed of yourself. The make-a-wish.
Let me tell you something, Make-A-Wish Foundation. You're going to wish that you never made this decision.
Come this week.

Speaker 135 After this weekend, I got to do. Next week, we're going to do something for this fing kid, okay? And we're going to let the Make-A-Wish Foundation wish that they never made this decision.

Speaker 21 I want this guy on the air.

Speaker 6 I want to find out how we can help.

Speaker 58 Not live.

Speaker 44 He sounds like Andrew Dice Clay, doesn't he?

Speaker 47 Yeah, Yeah, when he said, I'm from Staten Island, I'm like, oh, really?

Speaker 6 Really? That's a stunner.

Speaker 40 Oh, I want to see if we can help.

Speaker 22 But this, I'm playing this because I don't know if you saw Salvation Army is really hurting.

Speaker 85 They are really, really hurting on their toy drives and everything else this year.

Speaker 47 Is that a true story, though?

Speaker 6 I mean, you're not hurting.

Speaker 47 You're not eligible to be vaccinated at four years old. You can't get it if you want it.

Speaker 83 Yeah. I don't know.

Speaker 129 I've moved on to Salvation Army.

Speaker 39 Salvation Army, they're having a hard time because they were becoming politically correct and woke.

Speaker 38 And they said that all of their donors need to, you know, need to be reminded to be woke and all of this crap.

Speaker 33 And people are turning their backs on Salvation Army.

Speaker 130 I'm telling you, this is going to start killing these companies.

Speaker 74 Just start killing them.

Speaker 54 And some of them have started to turn around. The ones who were for the vaccine are now starting to go, well, maybe we won't vaccinate all our employees.

Speaker 6 Maybe.

Speaker 47 Well, they're seeing, you know, they're going to lose people and make it difficult for their companies to operate, including their healthcare facilities to operate.

Speaker 47 So I don't know how that helps the COVID situation if we have hospitals without employees.

Speaker 18 Yeah, if you're one of these woke companies, I think the tide is turning.

Speaker 116 And

Speaker 71 especially if you're Make-A-Wish.

Speaker 7 Holy cow.

Speaker 6 Holy cow.

Speaker 6 Next week.

Speaker 47 He's got stuff to do this week.

Speaker 6 Yeah, this week. Next week.

Speaker 65 Next week. Yes.

Speaker 127 I got some things I got to take care of this week.

Speaker 46 You know what I mean?

Speaker 46 This is the Glennbach program.

Speaker 22 So Melanie, she lives in Georgia.

Speaker 40 She listens to the program.

Speaker 16 She writes in, tells me about her dog's experience with rough greens.

Speaker 9 She said, I was really skeptical, Glenn, about trying rough greens.

Speaker 21 I'm sure my dog was not going to eat it.

Speaker 6 Boy, was I wrong.

Speaker 7 My dog loves rough greens.

Speaker 116 Now he only eats the food that I put rough greens on, and he has so much more energy than he used to.

Speaker 18 Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 22 I tell you, Melanie, I was exactly the same.

Speaker 22 I did not think that Uno would eat this because he is so particular about his food.

Speaker 37 He loves it.

Speaker 21 Now, your dog may not know that he needs more nutrition than just what comes out of his kibble food, but his body knows.

Speaker 22 And I've had the same experience with my dog.

Speaker 21 They eat it, they love it, and they're happier and more active.

Speaker 109 Just try it.

Speaker 33 Not a dog food, it's something you sprinkle on the food, supplement filled with all the things that make your dog healthier and happier.

Speaker 5 And you can get a free bag right now of rough greens for your dog to try out.

Speaker 30 All you do is pay for shipping, roughgreens.com/slash Beck. Roughgreens.com/slash Beck or 833-G-L-E-N-N33.

Speaker 47 Looking for a great Christmas gift? Check out Glennbeckart.com.

Speaker 6 I love that.

Speaker 47 It's a great website, Glennbeckart.com.

Speaker 47 That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Speaker 129 Hello, and welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Speaker 39 All right.

Speaker 61 You know, this program has won so many awards for its art and architectural discussions.

Speaker 130 Very true.

Speaker 39 And many of our papers that we have had published in some of the most important artistic and architectural digests.

Speaker 18 And journals.

Speaker 47 You were named the 100th most important person in the world of art.

Speaker 6 And that's true. True dat.
That is. True dat.

Speaker 47 That is actually a fact.

Speaker 64 You should look that one up.

Speaker 116 Anyway, so I just wanted to remind those who might be straggling in here and you missed

Speaker 60 our latest eight-part series on the architecture

Speaker 60 and some of the greatest homes ever built.

Speaker 33 But we wanted to continue now our conversation about Notre Dame.

Speaker 13 Now, Stu,

Speaker 9 as a complete and total snob,

Speaker 13 don't you think that Notre Dame,

Speaker 77 it was a little old and dusty?

Speaker 6 You're right. Yes.

Speaker 47 This old timey thing. I mean, how do we remix it to make it better?

Speaker 45 Well, how about taking it and building it into something else entirely?

Speaker 47 I mean, it doesn't seem like that would be the way I would go.

Speaker 22 Well, let me ask you this again, as an art lover, art historian, architectural design maven, really, that you are.

Speaker 31 Thank you very much. Yes.

Speaker 18 If, let's say, there was an earthquake in Egypt and the pyramids went away,

Speaker 29 I would say, let's rebuild them, but this time as a square.

Speaker 6 Yeah, that would be a strange choice.

Speaker 95 But wait, wait, I'm not done.

Speaker 71 And then inside, we put stores so you're building a mall you can call it that i like to call it a square oh okay with stores inside ah uh and we reimagine the pyramids i don't think notre dame needs to be reimagined you don't think so no yeah i'm gonna go with a full-fledged no

Speaker 6 they are uh they are adding mood lighting in and contemporary artworks

Speaker 76 There are going to be 2,000 movable objects that will be rearranged so that visitors, you know, will

Speaker 74 have more space because the redesign wants to foster a dialogue between the old and the new.

Speaker 16 Does that sound like to you, Stu?

Speaker 47 Bullcrap?

Speaker 6 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Yeah.
All right. All right.

Speaker 55 I hate to be

Speaker 47 too artsy. Yeah.
You know, I get sometimes we jump a little too far ahead of the audience down these deep architectural roads.

Speaker 79 But I think bullcrap.

Speaker 17 I think this is something that everybody can go bullcrap on.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 129 So

Speaker 18 they've got 100 public figures now, including art historians, heritage and architectural experts, intellectuals, artists, and writers.

Speaker 133 And these people, because they are not progressive thinkers,

Speaker 81 they're all saying, don't do this.

Speaker 39 Why don't you just rebuild it?

Speaker 104 Because it was one of the most important buildings,

Speaker 50 you know, of all time.

Speaker 74 And it was pretty spectacular the way it was.

Speaker 129 But those people don't know what they're talking about.

Speaker 47 Yeah, it doesn't

Speaker 47 seem, it doesn't seem like

Speaker 47 a sensible view, a sensible view.

Speaker 47 Have you followed, this is a little bit off topic, but it is tied to our deep architectural understanding

Speaker 6 of the world.

Speaker 72 Yes.

Speaker 47 Have you followed the Hudson Yards situation in New York City?

Speaker 41 Oh, you mean the vase?

Speaker 104 The what? The vase. The vase?

Speaker 10 Oh, that's what it's called, the vase.

Speaker 47 I thought it was the vessel.

Speaker 96 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 112 I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Speaker 84 I'm sorry.

Speaker 25 You're right. The vessel.

Speaker 47 So, Hudson Yards is a new development. By the way, the cost of Hudson Yards, $25 billion.
$25 billion.

Speaker 6 That's $25 billion, though.

Speaker 79 That's not just the vessel.

Speaker 47 No, that's the entire complex.

Speaker 28 The entire complex.

Speaker 31 So the vessel. The vessel is

Speaker 85 a

Speaker 6 bizarre

Speaker 47 art sort of display, I guess you could call it. It is a 160-some-odd.

Speaker 47 154. It is 154 interconnecting flights of stairs.

Speaker 47 Now, you might think, I don't like one flight of stairs.

Speaker 16 I don't like stairs at all.

Speaker 39 And if this is to get me to look at art, I guess I'll never see art.

Speaker 71 Right.

Speaker 22 How do you take art and say, you know what could make this better?

Speaker 126 Making it into a whole bunch of staircases.

Speaker 6 I mean,

Speaker 33 that is like, no one should go see see that.

Speaker 46 That's just we don't want anyone here.

Speaker 116 We don't want anyone here.

Speaker 22 This land used to be occupied by humans.

Speaker 43 We put the vessel there.

Speaker 47 No humans are around anymore.

Speaker 47 Yeah, that's kind of what, well, it's kind of one of the things that's going on right now. So they built this thing.

Speaker 47 By the way, Vessel, the bunch of stairs that we're talking about, cost $200 million. $200 million for a bunch of stairs.
By the way, we should point out don't lead to anything.

Speaker 47 That's the thing about Vessel is that it doesn't, it's not like you're taking stairs to get to a store. Does it? You're just walking on stairs.

Speaker 39 And there's no real art to see.

Speaker 79 The stairs are the art.

Speaker 47 The stairs are the art. The stairs are the art.

Speaker 22 That's the way I think of stairs often.

Speaker 28 Art. That's art.

Speaker 133 I'm not going to use it.

Speaker 13 I'm not going to walk on that.

Speaker 26 That's a beautiful piece of art right there.

Speaker 6 Now.

Speaker 47 They do say they're pretty great views when you get to the top, which is 16 stories of stairs.

Speaker 22 16 stories in New York. That's crazy because you can see over.

Speaker 35 Nothing.

Speaker 47 None of the buildings. None of the buildings.

Speaker 6 None of the buildings.

Speaker 25 Not even the ones near the sea.

Speaker 47 you're looking right into a office right it's beautiful so they built this thing and actually it's been really tragic because people and i don't know if this has to do with walking up lots of stairs but people get to the top and then jump off

Speaker 47 and so they had three suicides the thing opened in 2019 and they had three suicides so eventually they closed uh the display and refurbished it um so they people couldn't jump off uh and reopened it and then someone else jumped off somehow.

Speaker 47 And it was like a kid. It was a really tragic, terrible freaking story.

Speaker 33 So, this is becoming like a suicide spot.

Speaker 6 Yes.

Speaker 79 And it is suicide. It's not people falling off.

Speaker 47 No, it's not people falling off. It's people jumping off.

Speaker 22 And it's not just for humor's sake.

Speaker 33 It's not people getting up and going, there is nothing to this.

Speaker 42 And now I've got to walk all the way down.

Speaker 6 Right. It's not that.
It's not an aversion to stairs that we know of, although why do we know?

Speaker 4 I'd get halfway up and go, you know, it's faster.

Speaker 6 It's faster. Right.

Speaker 47 I wouldn't be stunned if it was someone in our type of shit.

Speaker 51 Have you been to the Guggenheim?

Speaker 47 No. You have to walk up.

Speaker 54 Now it's ramps, so that makes it a little better.

Speaker 62 But you have to walk up.

Speaker 50 And by the time you get up to the top, you're like, this is all crap.

Speaker 47 This is just all crap. Why am I doing this?

Speaker 83 Why am I doing it?

Speaker 47 That's why they put it at the top because you don't know it's crap till you get there.

Speaker 108 Yes, but then you have to go down.

Speaker 47 Right.

Speaker 47 So they've now closed this thing.

Speaker 47 And they don't think,

Speaker 47 they think they may never open it again. It's a $200 million

Speaker 28 staircase.

Speaker 31 Vessel, yes.

Speaker 58 Vessel. That goes nowhere.

Speaker 47 That goes nowhere except apparently giving people options to kill themselves. So now they're going to have to close it completely.

Speaker 6 So may I say, and this is not for humor, this is more philosophical.

Speaker 18 If we could switch gears from our deep, our deep, deep discussion of art and architecture right to philosophy.

Speaker 22 That is a monument

Speaker 6 to

Speaker 50 America today.

Speaker 39 Stairs that go nowhere

Speaker 130 except to suicide.

Speaker 130 That is pretty much what we're dealing with in our society.

Speaker 6 Things that don't make any sense at all, and our kids are killing themselves.

Speaker 20 Congratulations.

Speaker 6 It seems like the path we are on.

Speaker 39 That is a vessel of wokeness.

Speaker 64 That's what that should be called.

Speaker 59 Vessel of wokeness.

Speaker 126 When do they decide if they're going to open it up again?

Speaker 47 They don't know yet. It closed in July, so it's been closed for a while, but this thing's just sitting there

Speaker 47 costing money in the middle of a $25 billion complex. And it's now just known as a suicide hub.
And suicide researchers say that that's a real thing.

Speaker 47 You know, like the Golden Gate Bridge isn't necessarily the greatest place in the world to commit suicide if that's what you're going to do.

Speaker 47 It's just that once people start doing it, it becomes a thing among people who might commit suicide. You want these like these like landmarks to do these things.

Speaker 50 Would you want any would you want your

Speaker 4 business or your house or whatever it is surrounding this thing that they've built?

Speaker 99 Would you want anything to do?

Speaker 95 It's like having a

Speaker 60 murder house, you know, where somebody was violently murdered.

Speaker 10 I don't want to buy that house.

Speaker 79 This is the Glenbeck Program.

Speaker 100 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 22 Stu, do you remember the woman that we had on, I think it was two weeks ago, the interchained wine and coffee bistro?

Speaker 13 And she opened it up during the pandemic and they fined her all kinds of things.

Speaker 16 She face up to two years in jail.

Speaker 6 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 116 Her court appearance happened and she was sentenced to jail

Speaker 83 90 days in jail.

Speaker 4 90 days.

Speaker 45 Incredible. And the judge

Speaker 14 lectured her.

Speaker 60 You've got to understand this law applies to you.

Speaker 100 You were a public risk because you kept your business open.

Speaker 106 No, no, she wasn't.

Speaker 133 This was the second closing.

Speaker 60 She closed it the first time, the second closing.

Speaker 21 And I think this is going to happen more and more.

Speaker 133 There's got to be more and more pushback because they're starting to come back with these closings and the mask mandates and everything else.

Speaker 21 And I think America's done with it.

Speaker 47 They're at that. We're at that point, too, where it's true, you know, if we all march together, they can't stop all of us.

Speaker 47 You're seeing this all over the country. A lot of these.
A lot of these states are just giving up. We saw this from sort of from Colorado yesterday.

Speaker 47 A Democratic governor governor coming out and saying, look, you know, at this point,

Speaker 47 you want to get vaccinated, get vaccinated. If you don't, you don't.
It's on you. Like, okay,

Speaker 47 that's a reasonable position for a government to take. Look, we came up with these treatments.
We think they work. If you don't think they do, then you take the risk by not taking them.

Speaker 47 And by the way, the same thing goes for people who do take them. You take the risk.
And if you think they're a good idea, whatever risk is associated, you go analyze the results.

Speaker 47 You deal with your own life. We're not your daughter.
We're not your doctor. We're not your dad.
Just you go assess the risk in your own life.

Speaker 129 He said, quote, Everybody has had more than enough opportunity to get vaccinated.

Speaker 33 Hopefully, it's been at your pharmacy, your grocery store, a bus near you, or a big event. At this point, if you haven't been vaccinated, it's really your own darn fault.

Speaker 22 The emergency is over.

Speaker 129 You know, public health officials don't get to tell people what to wear.

Speaker 109 It's not their job.

Speaker 21 Masks is not something that you require.

Speaker 76 You don't tell people what to wear.

Speaker 25 You don't tell people to wear a jacket when they go out in winter and force them to wear it.

Speaker 29 If they get frostbite, it's their own damn fault.

Speaker 129 If you haven't been vaccinated, that's your choice.

Speaker 22 I respect it.

Speaker 59 But it's your fault when you're in the hospital with COVID.

Speaker 104 I would also say that if you're in the hospital with COVID and you got the vaccine, like the 70% of people that are in the hospital, that's also your own damn fault.

Speaker 33 I mean, it's just...

Speaker 47 It's not, I mean, look,

Speaker 47 we've lost the plot here a little bit. It's not your fault if you get freaking COVID.
No,

Speaker 6 yeah, it's China's fault, really.

Speaker 47 Yeah, it's China's fault. The Chinese government is the main person to blame

Speaker 47 if you get COVID. And even that's, you know, that's at this point old news, right? We all know that.
It's spread all over the place. You can't, you can't.

Speaker 47 People who have taken all sorts of precautions, including getting vaccinated, including staying in, including

Speaker 47 wearing masks, they're getting it too. You know, this is not something you punish your...
Again, respiratory disease is not something you punish

Speaker 6 other people for. Let people alone.

Speaker 40 Just leave people alone.

Speaker 47 Unless you, like, it's something egregious, right? If someone who has active COVID and symptoms and just says, I don't care, I'm going to that

Speaker 6 folks home.

Speaker 40 Those are the people who gave people AIDS intentionally.

Speaker 69 It's happened, right?

Speaker 80 And they went to jail.

Speaker 47 Yeah, you should avoid that activity. But we have to understand that's the, we can't be blaming other people for our respiratory illnesses.

Speaker 6 Tonight, I'm sitting down with Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, tonight, 9 p.m.

Speaker 81 Eastern, a full hour with Ron DeSantis.

Speaker 125 I'm excited.

Speaker 13 I have not spent very much time with him in the past, and I'm a fan.

Speaker 21 I'm Watching him from Texas, I'm a fan.

Speaker 19 Wish he was the governor of Texas, quite honestly.

Speaker 133 He's acting like a Texan.

Speaker 64 But he's doing a great job.

Speaker 116 Will he run for president?

Speaker 21 Does he and Trump get along?

Speaker 103 What does this look like?

Speaker 126 And I want to really talk to him about all of his new policies.

Speaker 18 He just passed another one or just introduced another one yesterday on woke-ism.

Speaker 47 Yeah, on CRT, the idea, kind of based on the Texas law, the Texas abortion law, where like citizens could theoretically sue

Speaker 47 schools, I guess, if

Speaker 47 they are teaching CRT. Obviously, I want CRT out of the schools very badly.
I am concerned a bit of the structure of law, even as it applies to abortion.

Speaker 47 It doesn't seem like the type of thing that is a sensible way of running a legal system where you just, instead of having the

Speaker 47 law enforcement enforce a law, you have citizens suing each other constantly over things that they don't like.

Speaker 47 Now, we know Gavin Newsom's already saying he's going to do something on the Second Amendment based on this. We'll see.

Speaker 47 I think less likely than, or more likely than something like the Second Amendment, which is obviously in the Constitution, you know, things like buying an SUV, right? Like,

Speaker 47 that's not a constitutional right.

Speaker 47 And left-wing governments are going to use this in all sorts of ways we're not comfortable with. I just, you know, I'm not a bit.

Speaker 104 I'm not a big fan of it since it came out here in Texas, and I think it could spiral out of control.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 13 And that's not a good thing.

Speaker 130 Ron DeSantis tonight, 9 p.m.

Speaker 19 Eastern on Blazetv.com slash Glenn.

Speaker 126 Use Glenn as a promo code and save.

Speaker 19 It's also on Blaze TV YouTube tonight at 9 p.m.

Speaker 47 I got a good interview on my show tonight, too, Studos America. I'm going to be talking to Glenn Beck.

Speaker 6 Oof.

Speaker 7 That never works out well.

Speaker 47 No, I've noticed that.

Speaker 10 He always makes you look like an idiot.

Speaker 47 Now, that I have not noticed.

Speaker 6 Yeah, it's bad.

Speaker 47 He doesn't seem to

Speaker 47 want to appear on the side.

Speaker 6 I don't know why you have him on every week because he seems to hate you.

Speaker 47 I love the we get messages all the time.

Speaker 62 Like, I can't believe Glenn is treating you that way.

Speaker 47 It's like, we get that we're in on it.

Speaker 6 Like, we

Speaker 23 last week. I walked off his show.

Speaker 29 I walked off right in the middle of it. Yes, that's true.

Speaker 45 You know, I had another thing to do.

Speaker 29 A bigger name came up.

Speaker 47 Which I thought was odd until

Speaker 47 it made the show much better.

Speaker 16 By the way, if you want to help those affected by the tornado last week, please go to mercury1.org.

Speaker 16 This is the Glenn Beck program.
