Speaker 16 New episodes Tuesdays.
Speaker 17 Rough greens.
Speaker 20 If your dog could talk, he would probably say, my farts aren't that bad.
Speaker 22 Or something like that.
Speaker 24 Maybe. Yeah, maybe.
Speaker 14 Certainly possible. That's what they're saying.
Speaker 25 I think they smell pretty good.
Speaker 26 Anyway, rough greens.
Speaker 22 If your dog has that problem, rough greens might actually help.
Speaker 28 Kibble food is dead food to dogs,
Speaker 32 and they have to sterilize it so it can sit in a bag on a shelf for two years.
Speaker 35 So, what does rough greens do?
Speaker 36 It's not a dog food.
Speaker 39 You sprinkle this on the dog's food, packed with vitamins and minerals and all the things that'll keep your dog the happiest and healthiest life.
Speaker 36 You can get a free bag of rough greens for your dog just to try out.
Speaker 11 All you pay for is shipping. Just go to roughgreens.com/slash back or call 833-Glenn33.
Speaker 47 That's 833-Glenn33, G-L-E-N-N, or roughgreens.com/slash bag.
Speaker 24 Whoa, what an amazing weekend weekend full of news.
Speaker 49 We'll give them to you in just a few minutes.
Speaker 49 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
Speaker 49 This
Speaker 49 is
Speaker 49 the Glenback Program.
Speaker 50 Headhead, you sick twisted freak.
Speaker 51 There is so much going on.
Speaker 52 I want to get right to it.
Speaker 54 In 60 seconds, we begin.
Speaker 54 The Glenbeck Program.
Speaker 55 Standing up for what you believe in can be challenging.
Speaker 58 I mean, maybe your job is at stake.
Speaker 38 Maybe, you know, your friends or your family is at stake.
Speaker 63 There are some things where you can start to strengthen that muscle of courage without really losing anything.
Speaker 66 In fact, gaining something.
Speaker 45 I'm talking about Patriot Mobile.
Speaker 35 Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
Speaker 37 They offer broad nationwide coverage.
Speaker 70 In fact, they use the same cell towers as most major carriers.
Speaker 71 Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget.
Speaker 36 In fact, you'll pay about half the price of your major carrier.
Speaker 73 Their 100%
Speaker 26 U.S.-based customer service team provides exceptional service.
Speaker 45 But the most important thing is they share your values and they support organizations fighting for religious freedom, constitutional rights, sanctity of life, and are veteran and first responder heroes.
Speaker 78 The choice is really clear.
Speaker 80 You want to begin to take a stand?
Speaker 81 Tell Big Mobile, can you hear us yet?
Speaker 45 Switch to Patriot Mobile today, patriotmobile.com slash back.
Speaker 38 That's patriotmobile.com slash back or call 972 Patriot.
Speaker 43 That's 972 Patriot, patriotmobile.com slash back.
Speaker 84 Holy cow.
Speaker 8 Well,
Speaker 86 you know, every day my job starts out
Speaker 90 a couple of hours before the program when I am looking at all of the news stories of the day and make the final cut of what gets on, what doesn't get on the show today.
Speaker 93 And it is harder and harder to be able to put the show together because there is so much.
Speaker 18 I could do a six-hour show every single day.
Speaker 73 Today, I just want to give you the headlines because I think it's important for the overall picture.
Speaker 55 So I want to spend 20 minutes just to give you what has come out in the news in the last three days since we last met.
Speaker 56 Holy mother.
Speaker 71 So we have more information about
Speaker 9 Dashenko.
Speaker 69 He is the guy who
Speaker 17 was the source, if you will,
Speaker 8 for
Speaker 53 the steel dossier.
Speaker 8 Okay.
Speaker 82 Everything that happened, all this Russian
Speaker 9 collusion and
Speaker 106 Donald Trump has a really bad film from Russia that was made and he's
Speaker 107 making it with prostitutes, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 22 All of that stuff, all of it now,
Speaker 111 we know was not only false, but we know now that the FBI knew that in 2017,
Speaker 18 had a pretty good idea in 2016.
Speaker 55 In 2017, they were very clear on it.
Speaker 82 They knew where it came from.
Speaker 55 And this guy is made into this Russian operative, and maybe he is, maybe he isn't,
Speaker 114 but he was at a liberal think tank.
Speaker 116 And he wasn't coming up.
Speaker 28 with the stuff himself.
Speaker 45 He was being fed information
Speaker 56 from a Clinton supporter.
Speaker 116 Somebody was on her campaign staff.
Speaker 18 So he didn't get it from Russia.
Speaker 54 He gets it from this guy.
Speaker 28 All of this now lays right at the feet of Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 28 Was this a coup?
Speaker 114 You can make the case that this was a coup of sorts.
Speaker 19 They were trying to overthrow his presidency.
Speaker 70 If this was happening in any other country, we would say it was a failed state.
Speaker 110 When a major party
Speaker 83 can use
Speaker 83 the government apparatus and the media apparatus to smear
Speaker 13 and to build a case against an innocent guy just to thwart him, and they all knew.
Speaker 54 The Washington Post knew in 20 either 17 or 2018.
Speaker 18 They knew, and yet they continued to win the Pulitzer. They continued the lies.
Speaker 119 Okay, so that happened.
Speaker 120 Oh, the FBI also is the victim in that one.
Speaker 29 I just want you to know. They say they were duped.
Speaker 85 Uh-huh.
Speaker 96 Now, the FBI also went out and
Speaker 12 tried to find a lost diary this weekend.
Speaker 13 Now, this one,
Speaker 83 you help me out.
Speaker 32 I was reading Jonathan Turley's opinion on this this weekend and
Speaker 13 he's right.
Speaker 111 This is an absolute over-the-line abuse of justice and the FBI needs to be called into account from the Senate, from the House,
Speaker 110 and the people.
Speaker 28 You've already destroyed your credibility, FBI.
Speaker 83 Now, here's what happened.
Speaker 30 Do you remember a story about a year ago, I think, that there was a diary from Joe Biden's daughter.
Speaker 50 And in it, she had said that she had taken inappropriate showers with her father when she was young.
Speaker 107 She also said, and I don't think it says the abuser, but she also said she was abused sexually, I think by a family member, but it doesn't pin it on Joe Biden.
Speaker 125 So there was some sort of sexual problems going on, and there were showers with Daddy.
Speaker 45 Also in that diary, she talks about how she and the other children of the family resent dad so much because of the way he controls all of the money.
Speaker 103 which goes right to the Hunter laptop, which we now know is true.
Speaker 53 Well, they denied that this diary had anything like that.
Speaker 40 There was, oh, no, that's not true.
Speaker 75 All of this is just gobbledygook.
Speaker 94 Really?
Speaker 19 Well, the FBI broke into several members of the Project Veritas staff, their homes, this weekend, searching for anything related to the lap, to
Speaker 94 the diary.
Speaker 129 Now, here's what happened with the diary.
Speaker 19 The diary, according to Project Veritas,
Speaker 109 was from an anonymous tipster that said, hey, this diary is here.
Speaker 62 It was left behind.
Speaker 66 Just go get it.
Speaker 108 Okay, well, all right.
Speaker 64 I mean, it would be really hard to believe that if that hadn't just happened.
Speaker 131 With the Hunter Biden laptop. Exactly right.
Speaker 14 Maybe this is just something this family does.
Speaker 132 Yes.
Speaker 14 They leave really important documents in very strange places.
Speaker 103 Okay, so they left the diary behind.
Speaker 19 Project Veritas
Speaker 28 goes and gets it.
Speaker 19 They do not publish the story because they can't verify that the diary is actually hers.
Speaker 133 Okay?
Speaker 19 So they turn it over to the police.
Speaker 78 Now, this is a year ago.
Speaker 110 And you might remember this story because it made just a little blip.
Speaker 58 Nobody in the mainstream media was willing to touch it.
Speaker 110 Well, now we know that the diary is real
Speaker 109 because the White House had the Justice Department and the FBI break down the doors of these people's houses on Saturday morning.
Speaker 117 And they were looking for anything related to that diary.
Speaker 133 Now, may I ask:
Speaker 70 what is the federal crime that would have been committed here with a diary?
Speaker 32 If my daughter loses her diary and it has bad things in it about me,
Speaker 55 is the FBI going to investigate and kick down the doors of maybe some boy in high school that took it from her?
Speaker 32 I don't think so.
Speaker 116 Since when is that a federal crime?
Speaker 110 Now, if it had things in it where I
Speaker 28 was abusing her and they needed that for evidence, I could see, but that's not what they were doing.
Speaker 58 So the FBI is completely out of control.
Speaker 122 The ATF also, we found out this weekend, has obtained 54 million gun records.
Speaker 110 54 million gun records.
Speaker 65 Apparently, when
Speaker 91 any gun business
Speaker 91 goes out of business,
Speaker 17 they have to turn their records that are 20 years
Speaker 135 old.
Speaker 58 They can destroy them. The Fed now is taking the gun records and they're keeping them and they're digitizing them so you can run them for names.
Speaker 129 This is a federal registry now.
Speaker 23 They are
Speaker 110 going to,
Speaker 56 the small gun owners,
Speaker 17 gun shops are going to be forced out of business.
Speaker 23 Mark my words, they're all going to go out of business.
Speaker 32 And so every record that they have will be in the hands of the federal government.
Speaker 83 You tie this to the IRS spying on your bank account.
Speaker 83 They've got everything they need
Speaker 16 should they decide to misuse it.
Speaker 90 But that would be crazy.
Speaker 39 We have the Rittenhouse trial that happened
Speaker 26 that I've got to go over with you today.
Speaker 83 It's astounding.
Speaker 97 The prosecution's case and the prosecution's witness.
Speaker 55 I don't know if the prosecution knows what that word means.
Speaker 9 You're not supposed to come up with things that exonerate the guy you're calling a bad guy, but that's what they did.
Speaker 28 They put two witnesses on that disproved the state's case.
Speaker 95 Why
Speaker 41 in the wildest dreams of the prosecution would you put these two guys on up as witnesses where they're like, no, that's not what happened.
Speaker 19 So now we know that the persecution, not prosecution, persecution of Kyle Rittenhouse is just that.
Speaker 104 They have nothing on this guy.
Speaker 32 Biden came out this weekend
Speaker 127 and he said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 60 The payout thing, you remember that thing that I said was a garbage term?
Speaker 45 Do we still have that from last week?
Speaker 28 He was asked about, do we have, you know, do
Speaker 42 if we don't have it at our fingertips, no big deal, Sarah.
Speaker 56 He was asked, you know, hey, what about paying 450,000 people,
Speaker 42 $450,000 to people who just came across our border during the Trump administration and maybe up to a million?
Speaker 18 And he was very adamant.
Speaker 26 It's a garbage story.
Speaker 32 And Stu said, I think he's arguing about the $450,000.
Speaker 14 The exact dollar amount, because the way he answers it, he's very specific and kind of looks at him and says, you said $450,000 per person, right? $450,000 per person. That's garbage.
Speaker 126 Well, he's obviously some medication makes him really, really angry at times because he just flew off the handle on Saturday when he was asked about this because the White House said, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 55 He was wrong.
Speaker 86 It is going through.
Speaker 142 They're going to settle these cases.
Speaker 14 But they said it might not be $450,000.
Speaker 5 So here's what he said.
Speaker 16 Listen to this, what he said Saturday.
Speaker 143 He said last week that this report about migrant families at the border getting payments was garbage.
Speaker 144 No, I didn't say that.
Speaker 8 Yes, I did.
Speaker 146 He said everybody coming across the border gets $500,000, $450,000.
Speaker 144 So this number was what you had to provide.
Speaker 146 The number Ross referred.
Speaker 145 Big, big, big, big.
Speaker 136 Here's the thing.
Speaker 46 If in fact,
Speaker 146 because of the outrageous behavior of the last administration,
Speaker 8 which is the same as yours and the guy before legal or illegal.
Speaker 147 And you lost your child.
Speaker 147 You lost your child.
Speaker 28 He's gone.
Speaker 146 You deserve some kind of compensation.
Speaker 17 Okay, all right, good.
Speaker 19 So you lost your child.
Speaker 103 Holy. You lost your child.
Speaker 113 That guy is unstable.
Speaker 109 That is a really unstable reaction.
Speaker 14 And he looks worse than that sounded
Speaker 23 listening on radio.
Speaker 109 That's a very unstable reaction.
Speaker 72 Okay.
Speaker 24 You lost your child.
Speaker 60 Not a good weekend for him to point that out because, you know, the child that we all have seen pictures lifted over the fence in Kabul and given to American soldiers has been lost by the United States government.
Speaker 14 We lost their child?
Speaker 78 We lost their child.
Speaker 101 Now, we have said over the weekend, we're going to do everything we can to find them.
Speaker 67 Oh,
Speaker 110 okay,
Speaker 27 all right.
Speaker 112 So the child might be in Afghanistan,
Speaker 73 but most likely it's one of six different countries.
Speaker 13 I'm sure you're not going to have a problem finding the infant.
Speaker 19 You lost your child.
Speaker 148 By the way, the mandate is not really now a mandate.
Speaker 98 The president has flown 70 secret flights into Florida.
Speaker 110 Inflation has grown between 50 and 200 percent in the last year because on food prices,
Speaker 100 gas prices are going to go through the roof.
Speaker 12 That was the weekend.
Speaker 69 That was the weekend.
Speaker 149 The good news is, this is all coming undone.
Speaker 77 It's coming undone quickly.
Speaker 41 Oh, by the way, they passed the reconciliation bill.
Speaker 77 So they passed the last stimulus package.
Speaker 73 It's important to understand
Speaker 134 why Omar
Speaker 45 and her people didn't vote for the bill.
Speaker 69 There's two reasons.
Speaker 36 One, because there's a lot of weasel Republicans in Congress that allowed them to do it.
Speaker 13 How do these people survive in a primary?
Speaker 99 These people need to be out next election, and we'll give you the list.
Speaker 45 But there's a bigger reason why they didn't vote for it.
Speaker 82 And it should tell you everything you know, and it ties all of these stories together.
Speaker 113 In 60 seconds, I'll tell you.
Speaker 65 Thanksgiving, believe it or not, is only a couple of weeks away.
Speaker 150 Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 47 You believe that?
Speaker 85 Oh,
Speaker 85 hmm. Let me just.
Speaker 66 The food is going to be really good.
Speaker 91 It's going to be really good.
Speaker 91 I happen to live in a house that you should come to Thanksgiving, and it's fantastic.
Speaker 151 The first Easter I ever went to with my...
Speaker 72 with my wife's family.
Speaker 120 My brother-in-law was sitting next to me, and I filled up my plate.
Speaker 77 You know, that's what you do on Easter.
Speaker 8 You fill up your plate.
Speaker 119 And we were sitting down and he grabbed my arm and he leaned over and he said, pace yourself.
Speaker 72 You have no idea what's coming.
Speaker 119 And
Speaker 36 we sat down at one to eat.
Speaker 104 We didn't get up till seven.
Speaker 152 Seven.
Speaker 116 So I might have a problem.
Speaker 14 That was Easter?
Speaker 142 That was Easter.
Speaker 120
That was Easter. Wow.
Yeah.
Speaker 142 Yeah, you should see Christmas and Thanksgiving.
Speaker 152 It's crazy.
Speaker 36 Anyway, anyway, if you would like to stay somewhat healthy and not gain some extra weight, may I suggest you skip the pie and get a Built Bar?
Speaker 142 Built bar, they're just delicious.
Speaker 153 You like coconut cream pie?
Speaker 19 Great.
Speaker 38 Do you like Mounds Bars or Almond Joy's?
Speaker 36 They are fantastic.
Speaker 18 I love them, but Built has exactly the same thing, except it has like 130 calories.
Speaker 18 It's a protein bar, but it doesn't taste like it.
Speaker 37 It tastes like a candy bar.

Speaker 32 Promo code BEC15 for 15% off now at built.com.
Speaker 73 10 Second Station ID.
Speaker 116 Okay, so when you look at all of these things,
Speaker 139 you see that the FBI has gone dark.
Speaker 33 You see the ATF is now obtaining gun records and digitizing them and making them permanent now.
Speaker 139 The IRS is spying.
Speaker 23 The mandate that's not really a mandate, but is a mandate.
Speaker 64 The payoff to people who came across the border from Biden because you lost your child.
Speaker 58 The 70 secret flights into Florida.
Speaker 122 The inflation of gasoline prices.
Speaker 128 I'm telling you, you're going to be paying $5 a gallon easy everywhere in the country by the end of this first term.
Speaker 50 When you look at all of these stories,
Speaker 134 what do they all have in common?
Speaker 19 They seem separate, but they're not.
Speaker 26 So let me tell you what happened to the reconciliation bill.
Speaker 56 Reconciliation bill passed, but none of the, you know, Omars voted for it.
Speaker 72 None of the squad voted for it.
Speaker 95 Why?
Speaker 65 Because they said without the Build Back Better
Speaker 19 passage,
Speaker 58 if that bill doesn't pass, you have a key, but no lock.
Speaker 96 They said they broke up the bills and they broke up all the infrastructure and put half of it in one bill and the other half in the other bill.
Speaker 97 So it's a lock and key.
Speaker 33 So if you just pass the infrastructure bill, but not the build back better bill, you can't get everything done that you want.
Speaker 16 I've been telling you for a while they're building it one piece at a time.
Speaker 31 Been telling you that.
Speaker 44 That's exactly what she just verified over the weekend.
Speaker 84 Now,
Speaker 32 how does that tie into all of this?
Speaker 37 Because everything
Speaker 58 is one piece.
Speaker 36 The IRS spying on your bank is part of the ATF getting all of the information on guns.
Speaker 40 The ability for the FBI to use secret courts to spy on political enemies is also all part of that.
Speaker 58 The secret flights into Florida, where they're not alerting anyone, 70 secret flights into Florida.
Speaker 36 These all are tied in to the destruction of America.
Speaker 103 That is their goal, make no mistake.
Speaker 103 This is the Glenbach Program.
Speaker 156 American Financing NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
Speaker 157 Just saw Obama speaking this weekend saying,
Speaker 119 time is running out on climate change.
Speaker 19 Man, I hope we hurry.
Speaker 47 American Financing is our sponsor.
Speaker 120 Mortgages still happen to have incredibly low rates tied to them, which means you really need to be looking at your home loan
Speaker 19 and your debts.
Speaker 115 Has American Financing looked at them yet?
Speaker 96 Have you called them?
Speaker 47 It'd be great to have somebody experienced and honest in your corner walking through all the options to shore up all of your finances that someone is American Financing.
Speaker 32 Find some time in your schedule today.
Speaker 124 I know you're busy, but pick up the phone and call American Financing at 800-906-2440.
Speaker 87 We all have to have
Speaker 91 some money left in the end so we can rebuild this nation.
Speaker 160 The one thing you need to do is get your expenses down, and an easy way to do it is with your mortgage or a consolidation loan at AmericanFinancing.net, 800-906-2440.
Speaker 14 Well, since they're literally raiding conservative news outlets now, I think you can see the threat that it's under. Make sure you help with joining Blaze TV at blazetv.com/slash Glenn.
Speaker 23 Oh, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 121 Where did I put that baby?
Speaker 21 Oh, I remember.
Speaker 41 I gave it to the U.S.
Speaker 128 government to hold.
Speaker 43 I'm sure it's going to be fine.
Speaker 74 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 83 My name is Glenn Beck.
Speaker 10 Stu Bergeer is my executive producer.
Speaker 36 And joining me now is my best friend from all these many years, Pat Gray.
Speaker 108 Hello, Pat. Hello, Glenn.
Speaker 77 I'm so excited to be here today. Are you?
Speaker 108 I am.
Speaker 161 I am.
Speaker 60 It's hard to know what to start with.
Speaker 11 It is.
Speaker 161 I mean, I did find her diary underneath a tree.
Speaker 157 And I started reading about me.
Speaker 91 But you found out it wasn't you.
Speaker 136 But then it wasn't me.
Speaker 35 In this case, it is him.
Speaker 22 So that's going to be interesting to follow. Well, nobody will cover it.
Speaker 72
Yeah, nobody will cover it. Nobody.
Nobody will cover it.
Speaker 22 It's incredible.
Speaker 162 The work that Project Veritas does, and sometimes it's pretty staggering, pretty stunning
Speaker 161 revelations.
Speaker 27 Like this one.
Speaker 82 And then nobody picks it up.
Speaker 48 Nobody picks it up.
Speaker 19 If Project Veritas were on the left, they'd won Pulitzer every year.
Speaker 95 Oh, yeah. Every year.
Speaker 14 No question.
Speaker 14 Well, in this case, though, they didn't even run the story.
Speaker 87 They didn't run the story.
Speaker 14 So they couldn't get credit for it.
Speaker 14 Now, the accusation, and it's not a clear accusation by mainstream media, but the accusation is that before
Speaker 14 they turned it over to law enforcement, they leaked it to another conservative site that did publicly.
Speaker 48 You mean like BuzzFeed? Oh, no, wait.
Speaker 124 No, that's not conservatives.
Speaker 136 No,
Speaker 14
that would be totally okay if it was BuzzFeed. Yeah.
No, they don't specifically say that, but that's the tone of the reporting.
Speaker 94 Okay, but
Speaker 36 why is the FBI involved in finding a diary?
Speaker 66 If your daughter's diary is missing, I don't think
Speaker 114 the FBI isn't even about anybody.
Speaker 29 Anybody that I know doesn't say, did you call the FBI?
Speaker 14 My daughter loses her stuff all the time. Can I call the FBI to help find it?
Speaker 83 I mean, what's in there?
Speaker 32 Other than really damning stuff.
Speaker 14 Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 14 I guess in theory, you could say, right, it was right before an election, and it was, you know, someone trying to manipulate a federal election. Is that their justification for this?
Speaker 120 I mean, I don't, I don't see what the
Speaker 6 stretch
Speaker 6 is coming up.
Speaker 141 What is it now?
Speaker 83 I mean, they're trying to affect a federal election.
Speaker 26 Really? Like,
Speaker 36 that hasn't been done.
Speaker 43 I mean, that's the you want to talk about a pot calling the kettle black.
Speaker 128 Oh, my gosh. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 14 I mean, I'm not saying these are good arguments. I'm trying to come up with some justification as to how this could even be related to the FBI.
Speaker 14 I mean, like, you know, someone steals something, even if, again, that's not what we believe happened. It was in theory left behind in a room that she was in.
Speaker 17 And it does sort of confirm the existence of the diary of
Speaker 161 Ashley Biden's diary, doesn't it? You're not sending the FBI in if it has, there's no validity to the story.
Speaker 19 Right.
Speaker 14 That doesn't necessarily confirm the contents of it.
Speaker 1 No, of course not. No, but it does
Speaker 103 not have to believe that
Speaker 40 that content is probably accurate.
Speaker 35 Yeah, if it's filled with recipes, I don't think the FBI is going after it.
Speaker 24 No, the White House isn't going for it anymore.
Speaker 135 Unless the recipes are delicious.
Speaker 19 Yeah, that's true. Okay,
Speaker 14 maybe they stole the Colonel's secret recipe.
Speaker 1 So
Speaker 37 here's what Jonathan Turley said over the weekend.
Speaker 34 What was the context for the diary's loss?
Speaker 38 Did Ashley Biden leave her diary in a room or was it stolen?
Speaker 17 Two, what is the alleged federal crime and what is the precedent for a major federal investigation over the alleged theft of a diary?
Speaker 36 What precautions were taken by the Biden administration in light of the claimed media status of the targeted individuals?
Speaker 36 Why was there a delay in this action being taken if the alleged theft occurred a year ago?
Speaker 32 Has this been under investigation for a year and did the White House request the intervention of the FBI?
Speaker 19 Listen to what he says.
Speaker 17 Regardless of how one feels about Project Veritas, there should be calls from media outlets for some answers on these basic questions.
Speaker 66 Likewise, Congress should be seeking answers as part of its oversight responsibility.
Speaker 8 Neither one of those will happen.
Speaker 33 Neither one of those will happen.
Speaker 39 This is a grand abuse of power, and it just shows again
Speaker 68 where the FBI
Speaker 73 stands.
Speaker 109 And
Speaker 18 this is them, so you know, going after journalists that didn't publish the story
Speaker 28 and gave the diary, they say, to law enforcement.
Speaker 161 It also kind of gives you an idea, maybe,
Speaker 161 of why Ashley Biden is sort of the forgotten, the ignored, the hidden Biden. Nobody, he never talks about her.
Speaker 135 You ever hear about it?
Speaker 161 I couldn't have picked her out of a lineup before this story broke.
Speaker 161 I have no idea what she looks like.
Speaker 161 And you never hear from her.
Speaker 162 You never hear him talk of her.
Speaker 23 It's always Bo and Hunter that he speaks of.
Speaker 92 Entries in the diary include the author revealing she believes she was sexually molested as a child and shared, quote, probably not appropriate showers with my dad.
Speaker 17 Some of the detail, the author's drug use, the crumbling marriage with multiple affairs, along with entries showing the family fears of a potential scandal due to her brother's new home.
Speaker 32 And those show a deep resentment for her father due to his money control and emotional manipulation.
Speaker 83 Can you imagine if that was,
Speaker 32 I mean, that's what they say the Trump children were.
Speaker 48 Oh,
Speaker 55 they're just in it for the money and they're just being manipulated and he's manipulating them and they're all manipulating everything.
Speaker 40 That's exactly what's going on here.
Speaker 56 And you have it in the writings of Hunter Biden.
Speaker 94 And now we're not supposed to believe a diary that came out a year ago
Speaker 56 that the federal government is now breaking down doors in the middle of the night to gather anything about the diary?
Speaker 67 Wow.
Speaker 53 I mean, again, this is the failed state.
Speaker 98 This is the action of a failed state.
Speaker 116 This is a banana republic.
Speaker 99 Did you hear about flying the 70 planes into Florida in the middle of the night?
Speaker 77 I don't think so. Yeah.
Speaker 32 It was found out this weekend that Biden has been flying 70,
Speaker 27 70 planes full of people from the border into Florida without any authorities in Florida being let known that it was happening.
Speaker 29 They're just dumping these people into Florida.
Speaker 150 Wow.
Speaker 7 I mean.
Speaker 131 Are they paying them the $450,000 each as well?
Speaker 14
I hope so. I do too.
I hope they got a nice place out.
Speaker 37 Can we play that again If you happen to be watching us, take a minute and really watch his face because it's worse when you see it than when you hear it.
Speaker 50 This is a very unstable moment.
Speaker 56 Watch this.
Speaker 143 You said last week that this report about migrant families at the border getting payments was garbage.
Speaker 144 No, I didn't say that.
Speaker 146 If you went straight, you said everybody coming across the border gets $500,000, $450,000.
Speaker 144 So the number was what you got to pay.
Speaker 145 The number I was referring to.
Speaker 145 Now here's the thing.
Speaker 144 Sure.
Speaker 146 If, in fact, because of the outrageous behavior of the last administration,
Speaker 147 you coming across the border, whether it was legal or illegal, and you lost your child,
Speaker 147 you lost your child, he's gone,
Speaker 146 you deserve some kind of compensation, no matter what the circumstance. What that will be, I have no idea.
Speaker 63 That is a terrifying
Speaker 161 homicidal in one second. Yes.
Speaker 14 It's disturbing.
Speaker 151 It's really disturbing.
Speaker 102 Really disturbing.
Speaker 161 I don't know if he's off his medication or if there's a medication with a side effect that makes you a little bit more.
Speaker 7 Because that's what it seems like.
Speaker 98 I mean, it seems like
Speaker 10 either you are not in control of your emotions or you're on some medicine that does the same thing.
Speaker 94 Yeah. Makes you really irritable.
Speaker 161 How unsightly is that for the President of the United States to show that kind of anger,
Speaker 161 that kind of emotion, just for no apparent reason.
Speaker 27 Lost your child.
Speaker 108 Lost your child.
Speaker 21 Wow. And
Speaker 14 I don't think it's because of no reason, right? He's pissed off. He got caught.
Speaker 14
It's not pissed off about the child being lost. That's not anger because he's upset.
Oh, gosh,
Speaker 14 these children were lost. He's pissed off because
Speaker 5 he was embarrassed.
Speaker 14
He came out and he tried to deny it and then got caught. His own administration had to admit that they were doing this.
And now he's down to, well, it wasn't $450,000. It was $449.50.
Speaker 1 Can I get some ridiculous?
Speaker 60 May I offer a third explanation for this?
Speaker 7 Yes.
Speaker 13 I think that
Speaker 77 they all buy into this crap.
Speaker 59 I think he absolutely buys into all of this.
Speaker 18 And he sees
Speaker 56 no one around him, he's not exposed to anyone in his life that is disagreeing with what they're saying.
Speaker 32 And so they're all sitting in a room and nobody says, what about the kids that were separated
Speaker 88 from
Speaker 32 Obama or the ones that you have separated now?
Speaker 37 Or what about the reason they were separated was because they couldn't prove that that was their parent or a relative.
Speaker 106 And so they were held until a relative could show up.
Speaker 112 And the relative took them, but we were trying to protect the child because it might have been a
Speaker 22 sex trafficker.
Speaker 100 Okay.
Speaker 54 Nobody is saying that to them.
Speaker 54 And so they're sitting in a room and they get more and more angry because everybody's pouring fuel on exactly the same fire. Nobody's there saying, well, wait a minute, hold it just a second.
Speaker 80 That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 165 They're all just saying, and they lost their child.
Speaker 112 There are people around him that know that's bull crap.
Speaker 14 Why deny it initially then?
Speaker 14 If you're not.
Speaker 37 I think he thought he could get away with the number thing. I think you were right.
Speaker 27 I think you were right.
Speaker 14 It's amazing. He just thought, because I mean, why hide it if you're that viscerally
Speaker 14 in favor of these people being paid?
Speaker 113 Because I think
Speaker 14 he just realizes the politics of it, basically.
Speaker 97 I think he,
Speaker 57 well, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 40 Maybe.
Speaker 127 I was going to say, I think he knows the situation that they're in, but I don't think so.
Speaker 96 I mean, look at what they've done in the last week.
Speaker 80 They had the election six days ago and got their heads handed to them.
Speaker 69 And in those days, since since then, they have passed the mandate.
Speaker 139 They have
Speaker 19 full speed ahead.
Speaker 17 They've done this.
Speaker 65 They've passed the, not the reconciliation bill, but the infrastructure bill.
Speaker 124 They just passed it over the weekend.
Speaker 161 And they're going to pass the other one too.
Speaker 113 Do you think so? I do.
Speaker 150 Yeah.
Speaker 161 I think they will.
Speaker 131 They can.
Speaker 161 The House is out this week, but I'll bet you next week they're right back on it.
Speaker 7 Bet they do.
Speaker 25 If
Speaker 19 I'm telling you, you should call your congressmen and tell them
Speaker 35 if they vote for any spending bill, infrastructure, anything,
Speaker 26 if they vote for any of these bills, you have a very long memory and you will
Speaker 157 work to overturn their seat and give it to somebody who will stand against this.
Speaker 69 I think this is a really dangerous place for
Speaker 33 the Republic to be in.
Speaker 77 And
Speaker 56 I don't mean violence.
Speaker 83 I just mean they have completely detached.
Speaker 48 You know,
Speaker 95 the federal court put a stay on the mandate.
Speaker 45 I'll bet you they don't care.
Speaker 157 I bet you they just keep going.
Speaker 161 Yeah, that's my guess, too.
Speaker 111 I mean, what law restrains these people?
Speaker 59 It doesn't seem like there's a law that will restrain them.
Speaker 17 And I think given, you know, $400,000 to people who came across our border, listen to what he just said.
Speaker 153 If you came over the border and you lost your child, you get a payout.
Speaker 115 $100,000, $250,000.
Speaker 83 You know what $250,000 means to somebody who is living in poverty in Mexico or Guatemala?
Speaker 11 It changes their life.
Speaker 27 It changes their life.
Speaker 104 You're not going to file?
Speaker 50 Of course you are.
Speaker 104 You're not going to come for the lottery.
Speaker 134 Maybe you win.
Speaker 148 This is a nightmare.
Speaker 121 A nightmare.
Speaker 161 And think about it with the shoe on the other foot.
Speaker 163 Americans sneaking into Mexico or Guatemala and then demanding a payment once you're caught and you've been inconvenienced at the border.
Speaker 163 Now I want to be made a rich person.
Speaker 161 I want a million dollars for my family, which is the payout that you could get for per family.
Speaker 163 It's unthinkable. It is.
Speaker 36 We are approaching some sort of a line where the American people are going to stand.
Speaker 35 I think
Speaker 32 Republican, Independent, and some Democrat are going to start standing up and going, nope, no more.
Speaker 23 No more.
Speaker 124 I mean, the Bubba effect is not going to happen just in one community. I think the Bubba effect is going to happen
Speaker 21 in
Speaker 89 a lot of this country, a lot of this country, where people will just stand up and say, I'm not going to comply.
Speaker 23 I won't do it.
Speaker 91 I won't do it.
Speaker 11 You're out of control. You're giving people who come across our border money, and you're not helping any of us.
Speaker 23 You're putting me out of business.
Speaker 74 No, thank you.
Speaker 141 I want no part of it.
Speaker 40 Here's something fun to think about.
Speaker 138 Surveillance apps known as stalkerware can collect information from you while avoiding detection by pretending to be something else.
Speaker 28 It's almost like this government can pretend to be something that it's not, you know, and then they get elected.
Speaker 91 Anyway,
Speaker 59 detection,
Speaker 90 detection is really hard to secure.
Speaker 49 You just
Speaker 11 sit silently in the background and it's just collecting all of the data like recording calls, keystrokes, stealing your photos, sending all the information to whoever's spying on you.
Speaker 21 Yeah,
Speaker 41 yeah, kind of like what the FBI is doing to parents.
Speaker 36 Anyway, Life Lock will help you detect a wide range of identity threats right now, and they'll send you an alert.
Speaker 32 Plus, you have access to a dedicated restoration specialist if you become a victim.
Speaker 26 That's way better than the old days.

Speaker 45 The Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 50 So here's a TikTok video: a mom asking her four-year-old questions about being born in a boy's body when he's clearly a girl.
Speaker 151 Listen.
Speaker 3 Your face, Ty.
Speaker 164 Makeup.
Speaker 3 You put makeup on it? Mm-hmm. How old are you?
Speaker 21 Seven.
Speaker 136 No, how old are you?
Speaker 3 Seven. You're four.
Speaker 3
No, I'm seven. Are you a boy or a girl? A girl.
A girl? Mm-hmm. Were you born a girl?
Speaker 136 Hmm?
Speaker 3 Were you born a girl?
Speaker 3 When you were a baby, were you a girl?
Speaker 136
Yes. Okay.
Okay.
Speaker 3 Are you in a boy's body, though?
Speaker 108 Yes. All right.
Speaker 18 So let me ask you this:
Speaker 28 why isn't he also seven?
Speaker 18 Right.
Speaker 14 He identified as seven.
Speaker 18 He identifies as seven.
Speaker 52 How, what, you counted in your years?
Speaker 155 That's your truth.
Speaker 128 That's your truth.
Speaker 32 He obviously has been around for seven years.
Speaker 129 He's seven.
Speaker 18 Why don't you listen to him on that?
Speaker 97 This is
Speaker 108 insanity, America.
Speaker 74 It's child abuse.
Speaker 163 Stop it.
Speaker 163 This is the Glenn Back program.
Speaker 2 Here's Glenn and Steve.
Speaker 23 Here's the echelon bike.
Speaker 119 Tanya's been gone.
Speaker 31 And so
Speaker 113 I look at it more as a shrine.
Speaker 41 I didn't want to disturb it while she was gone.
Speaker 77 That's nice of you.
Speaker 105 Yeah. I mean, you know, it's great.
Speaker 91 You know, she likes to go to the gym, but she also likes to work out at home.
Speaker 59 And so she's, you know, we've got a, you know, we've got a fitness room in the house, you know, has the echelon bike in it.
Speaker 37 And she loves it.
Speaker 29 She loves it.
Speaker 56 So much so that when she's gone, I don't want to ride it.
Speaker 55 And
Speaker 44 when she's there, I don't want to ride it.
Speaker 167 But it's very affordable for workout, you know.
Speaker 32 Maybe I'd get my own, but two is a little ostentatious.
Speaker 12 You know, I want hers to be sacred.
Speaker 32 She has an EX3 bike, and right now you can get it risk-free for 30 days.
Speaker 14 But you could easily get two of these things for what some of these other companies are charging. So why you could even...
Speaker 87 Nah, still, just I don't want the image of two bikes up there.
Speaker 77 That's, you know.

Speaker 47 It's almost sacred.
Speaker 47 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
Speaker 47 This
Speaker 47 is
Speaker 47 the Glenback Program.
Speaker 23 Oh, thank goodness we are here living in a world where Marty Walsh could be our Secretary of Labor.
Speaker 89 You know, Marty.
Speaker 86 He's the guy that you elected to, you know, impact your job. And remember when we were debating, gee,
Speaker 40 who are you voting for for the Secretary of Labor, the guy who can run OSHA and make all these mandates?
Speaker 47 Okay.
Speaker 44 I remember those days like they never happened.
Speaker 61 How many shows do we do on Marty Walsh?
Speaker 10 None.
Speaker 51 Marty comes out this weekend and he says, hey, all this stuff about this mandate, it's not a mandate.
Speaker 25 I wish it was a mandate, but this is just, you know,
Speaker 116 a mandate that you would have to get tested and wear a mask, but not a vaccine mandate.
Speaker 86 Oh, and by the way, it's going to come here shortly for companies that have less than 100 employees.
Speaker 116 He said, this isn't a mandate.
Speaker 73 This is a vaccine or testing.
Speaker 70 And I think that's that's something that a lot of people who are anti-vaccine and saying they don't want it, I want you to take a deep breath and hear what I'm saying here because I think it's really important to understand it's about keeping people safe, including people who don't want to get vaccinated, to make sure that everyone's safe.
Speaker 10 So, little people of the world, hear me.
Speaker 55 Breathe deeply.
Speaker 167 I'm going to quote him.
Speaker 89 I want you to take a deep breath and listen to what Marty is saying.
Speaker 78 Because after all, you elected Mark.
Speaker 151 Well, you would have elected Marty, I'm sure, had we had that debate and the election.
Speaker 49 So he just is control of
Speaker 9 labor, you know, and your job and the mandates and OSHA.
Speaker 51 But other than that, he has almost no effect on you whatsoever.
Speaker 40 Ken Paxton is next.
Speaker 40 The Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 86 Still contemplating a mortgage refi?
Speaker 65 It's a smart move for a lot of homeowners because interest rates still are very low.
Speaker 128 The holidays are around the corner.
Speaker 40 There's no better time to make greater monthly savings happen than right now.
Speaker 124 Call American Financing.
Speaker 35 It's America's home for home loans.
Speaker 28 Take advantage of a free mortgage review and let their salary-based mortgage consultants tell you about the ways they can save you up to $1,000 a month.
Speaker 37 You can get out from underneath those really expensive, high-interest rate credit cards.
Speaker 101 If you
Speaker 45 refi, sometimes you'll get a couple of months rent for, I mean, mortgage-free as it's as it's processing.
Speaker 124 I mean, that could help take you through the holidays, even.
Speaker 26 Get out of your interest rates that are above three,
Speaker 19 definitely four.
Speaker 78 Get out of those.
Speaker 138 American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.
Speaker 156 American Financing, NMLS, 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
Speaker 112 So, as we told you last week,
Speaker 63 there were several states that took action against this mandate.
Speaker 89 The rule applies to just 84.2 million workers and
Speaker 124 another 1.9 private sector, according to OSHA.
Speaker 32 But we had Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi South Carolina and Utah the AGs got together and they put together a legal brief and filed it against the Biden administration and it won over the weekend there is a stay on this order and Ken Paxton is here to tell us all about it hi Ken Good morning, Glenn.
Speaker 77 Hope you're doing well.
Speaker 32 Thank you very much. Ken is the Attorney General for the great state of Texas.
Speaker 116 Tell me what happened.
Speaker 169 So as you said, it was a pretty well-organized deal. It's not just those five states you mentioned, but there are other states suing as well.
Speaker 169 We've obviously been talking about this since the day that Joe Biden told us that he was going to do it.
Speaker 169
And it's odd that he told us he was going to do it because a few months earlier, he said it would never happen. And the federal government did not have the authority to do it.
He was right to fall.
Speaker 169 He doesn't have the right to do it.
Speaker 108 Okay.
Speaker 55 And they know because
Speaker 32 there's no place for this in the Constitution unless you start to twist the idea that OSHA has complete control over everything in the workforce, right?
Speaker 169 That's correct. And not only do they not have the authority, but the president doesn't have the constitutional authority to give them that authority.
Speaker 169 I'm not even sure Congress would have the authority to do that, but clearly OSHA has not been given that authority by Congress.
Speaker 32 So they say they have control of everything in a workplace that makes people unsafe.
Speaker 19 I mean, OSHA's ⁇ OSHA's directive directive is so broad that you could say that they have the legal authority, couldn't you?
Speaker 169 I actually, no, I think they've been given authority over substances,
Speaker 169 toxic materials, but they've never been given authority to deal with communicable diseases. That's the CDC, and even the CDC doesn't have the authority to mandate vaccines.
Speaker 169 As a matter of fact, this has happened in the past. They were asked to implement at some point in our history
Speaker 169 a vaccine mandate, and they said it was better to do voluntary,
Speaker 169 not mandatory.
Speaker 36 So we have the CDC also making a ruling that, you know, don't worry about it. Don't worry about paying, you know, for
Speaker 40 your monthly rent or your mortgages.
Speaker 59 And
Speaker 26 I think it was the Supreme Court, or was it a federal court that said,
Speaker 56 no, you don't have the authority to do that.
Speaker 18 But the Biden administration is still doing it.
Speaker 22 Correct?
Speaker 36 Did we lose him?
Speaker 48 Oh, there you are.
Speaker 113 Ken, are you there? Hey. Yeah.
Speaker 169
Yeah, I'm here. Sorry, but yeah, and you were right about that.
It was the Supreme Court that stopped that from staying in place, another illegal implementation by the Biden administration.
Speaker 102 So
Speaker 18 they've just continued to do it.
Speaker 71 What gives you any feeling that they're going to listen to the, I think it was the Fifth Circuit Court this weekend that said this is federal overreach it is it it has grave constitutional consequences i think is what the judge said what makes you think they're going to stop
Speaker 169 well look i they if we get a ruling it's it's one thing for them to to not follow federal immigration law and not proactively do what they're doing. But if
Speaker 169 we have a stay and ultimately a victory, then I think Americans will just say, look, the court has ruled that the president can't can't force me. He never had the authority to force me.
Speaker 169 And now a court has ruled, a federal court has ruled that he doesn't have that authority.
Speaker 169 I think it'll give the American people some security and some confidence that they can ignore this and not worry about it.
Speaker 56 We are increasingly looking like a failed banana republic.
Speaker 39 We have an administration that is
Speaker 148 knowingly
Speaker 32 twisting knobs and turning levers right now.
Speaker 32 And they know they can't get things through Congress, so they're just doing
Speaker 12 things through like OSHA and the CDC,
Speaker 66 and they seem to be ignoring things.
Speaker 102 The FBI is off the rails,
Speaker 31 and
Speaker 31 it's just the states now that stand in the way.
Speaker 59 Are you convinced we have enough states and enough
Speaker 39 momentum to be able to
Speaker 19 stop this?
Speaker 169 You know, I think you and I have talked about this before. I know we have.
Speaker 169 I see something really good happening among the states. It seemed like when Joe Biden was first elected, it was Texas and a few other states out fighting this.
Speaker 169 This mandate has motivated almost every Republican state, which is half the country, to do something about it, to fight back. And that's really the key to our survival.
Speaker 169 It's got to be Texas and the rest of the country saying, no, we're not going to put up with this because if we let it go, we really will be a banana republic.
Speaker 169 We really will have no control over our elected officials. And we'll have an out-of-control president who just dictates to us what he wants us to do.
Speaker 41 Let me change the subject
Speaker 151 just a bit.
Speaker 43 There's a couple of other stories that have come up, and I'd just like your read on this.
Speaker 26 The FBI rated
Speaker 88 Project Veritas, Veritas the writers of some of the news that comes out of Project Veritas.
Speaker 45 You can like them or hate them, but they are doing journalism.
Speaker 137 You may not like it, but that's what they're doing.
Speaker 95 Over a year ago, there was a missing Biden diary
Speaker 12 from his daughter.
Speaker 74 And in it, she claims that
Speaker 29 She was
Speaker 32 a sexual assault victim from somebody in her family.
Speaker 87 She talks about having to take showers with her father.
Speaker 32 Then they go into the money stuff that sounds very much like Hunter Biden.
Speaker 126 Project Veritas never printed these stories.
Speaker 37 It was leaked
Speaker 141 to another outlet that
Speaker 12 did do the stories.
Speaker 26 They instead turned that diary over to police because they couldn't verify that it was hers and they just wanted to get it to the hands of the police.
Speaker 138 The FBI, a year later, broke down the doors on Saturday morning of Project Veritas writers and were searching for anything related to that diary.
Speaker 134 Now, I don't know what federal crime someone is committing with
Speaker 32 a diary, even if I if I if I called you, Ken, and said, hey, my daughter left her diary someplace and somebody took it, are you going to get the state troopers out to look for my daughter's diary?
Speaker 169 Absolutely not. This is the Biden administration using law enforcement, the FBI included, to do their bidding, to do their political bidding.
Speaker 169 And it's creating a real lack of credibility with federal law enforcement when you see things just like this.
Speaker 169 So you see the FBI being used to investigate parents who dare to speak out at public school meetings.
Speaker 169 So this is, and we certainly saw this during the Trump administration, but now the Biden administration is perfecting this and using law enforcement to punish people and to go go after people that they don't agree with.
Speaker 169
And I think this is another example. I know Eric O'Keeffe.
He's an amazing guy. He's done some amazing things.
And what they're doing here
Speaker 169 is very
Speaker 169 reminiscent of what would happen in Germany to you back in the 30s and what happened in Russia and China.
Speaker 126 It is terrifying.
Speaker 65 Are our states going to stand against when it gets, I mean, when you're breaking down the doors of writers over a diary
Speaker 41 that is in question.
Speaker 10 I mean, the assault on the First Amendment and a free press is pretty obvious.
Speaker 80 Are our states going to stand?
Speaker 14 You know what? I sure hope so.
Speaker 169 We were standing up to the Biden administration now, but I think there's a lot of fear, even among Republicans. Like, if I stand up, they'll come after me.
Speaker 169 And that's the reality of where we are at now. So I think the truth is, if we don't stand up now, we will see our freedoms eroded.
Speaker 169 We'll see law enforcement used for political purposes more and more, which they're already doing.
Speaker 169 And look, if they're willing to investigate parents and they're willing to do things like this, we can't know where they'll stop. And so, if we don't think, if we don't stop them now,
Speaker 169 if we don't speak out now, if all Americans don't speak out now, we're going to pay the price with more and more of this and it's going to get worse.
Speaker 43 Can I ask you one more question?
Speaker 21 I don't know if you've been following the Rittenhouse trial at all,
Speaker 17 but the prosecution, the prosecution, brought a couple of people up.
Speaker 74 Let's go to, can we play SOT 1 real quick for him?
Speaker 3 The media's response to Yunkin's victory is literally.
Speaker 73 Not that, please. Sot 1 of Rittenhouse.
Speaker 171 When I turned around, Rosenbaum was right there in front of my face, yelling and screaming.
Speaker 14 And I said, dude, back up.
Speaker 147 Chill.
Speaker 171 I don't know what your problem is. And he goes, you know what? If I catch any of you guys alone tonight, I'm going to f ⁇ ing kill you.
Speaker 15 and he said that to you correct did he say that to the defendant as well the defendant was there so yes
Speaker 63 another
Speaker 172 person play SOT 3 please another person for the prosecution said this I kind of caught up to them I was running a bit faster and so at the time initially I was probably 30 feet back when the first when everybody first started running but then by the time I arrived in the lot I was 15 feet
Speaker 15 and you continue to be behind Mr. Rosenbaum at the time that the defendant shot and killed him, correct?
Speaker 172
I did alter my trajectory a little bit when I saw Mr. Rittenhouse turn around and saw Mr.
Rosenbaum
Speaker 172 lunging for the front portion of the rifle.
Speaker 88 Lunging for the rifle.
Speaker 39 How did this case make this into a courtroom when that's the prosecution's witnesses?
Speaker 169 You know, again, it's shocking. The abuse right now with
Speaker 169 law enforcement, with the Department of Justice, with just law enforcement in general by the Biden administration, and
Speaker 169
other elected officials is scary. And it's scary even in my state where local officials use politics more than the law.
So the rule of law is becoming a thing of the past.
Speaker 169 And that's why I think it's so critical.
Speaker 169 that we cannot let anything pass, whether it's the FBI investigating parents or the FBI investigating Eric O'Keefe and Project Veritas, if we're not speaking out now, I'm telling you, I think it could be too late down the road.
Speaker 65 Thank you very much.
Speaker 26 Anything that the people can do to help our AGs?
Speaker 169
I would say don't be afraid to speak out at work. Don't be afraid to speak out in your community.
We all need to speak out now. It's not a time to be timid.
Speaker 169 Again, it'll be too late if we're not willing to stand up now.
Speaker 41 Thank you so much.
Speaker 16 Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of the great state state of Texas.
Speaker 53 Let me tell you about RecTech.
Speaker 65 You know, some people are real go-getters.
Speaker 36 I'm talking about the people who make RECTEC.
Speaker 69 They're already, you know, they're running their Black Friday sale already, which means you could save up to $415 by ordering today.
Speaker 58 Imagine the best grilled and smoked meats you've ever had.
Speaker 38 Available anytime you feel like it, all controlled with smart grill technology, which keeps the heat even, sends everything everything to an app on your phone or device.
Speaker 59 I have not burned a single thing in my RekTech, which is unusual for me.
Speaker 130 I burn almost everything in my grill.
Speaker 40 It'll grill, it'll smoke, it'll even bake.
Speaker 32 It is tremendous, and there is nothing else on the market like it.
Speaker 22 RekTech, Black Friday sale is already happening where you can save $415.
Speaker 56 Order right now and get your grill for the holidays.
Speaker 93 Free shipping with all pellet grills.
Speaker 76 Go to rechtech.com.
Speaker 101 That's rechtech, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com.
Speaker 124 10 seconds, station ID.
Speaker 67 You want to talk about the rule of law?
Speaker 18 Let's play cut five.
Speaker 109 Here is George Floyd's nephew talking about the jurors
Speaker 37 in the case that we were just talking about.
Speaker 150 Listen.
Speaker 173 I ain't even going to name the people that I know that's up in the Kenosha, I mean, in the Kenosha trial, but there's cameras in there.
Speaker 173
It's definitely cameras up in there, and there's definitely people taking pictures of the juries and everything like that. We know what's going on.
So we need the same results, man.
Speaker 173 We need the same results. Justice for Dante Wright.
Speaker 99 So we're talking about the Rittenhouse trial, and they are now saying he's threatening the jurors.
Speaker 59 There are pictures, and we need the same results.
Speaker 59 Hmm.
Speaker 14 It's seemingly very consistent with our justice system and how it's supposed to work. We're doing well here.
Speaker 128 We are doing well.
Speaker 110 Are we winning or are we losing?
Speaker 142 I mean, if you you look at the stories today,
Speaker 59 you can say that the system is working in a few places.
Speaker 73 It seems to be working with Rittenhouse.
Speaker 43 He's probably not going to get, you know, he won't get life.
Speaker 83 He might get, you know, some of the gun possession things.
Speaker 137 I don't know, but he's not going to get life.
Speaker 12 I wouldn't be surprised if he was set free.
Speaker 69 Would you, Stu?
Speaker 14 No?
Speaker 17 Yeah, not with this prosecution going on.
Speaker 14 No, I mean, obviously, he should be set free.
Speaker 113 I mean,
Speaker 14 it shouldn't even be, as you pointed out, even in the ⁇ it shouldn't even have gotten to this point. It's completely ridiculous.
Speaker 53 The FBI raid, the fact that they have to go after
Speaker 53 his daughter's diary with the FBI
Speaker 19 shows they are terrified. This is becoming a police state, and they are terrified.
Speaker 40 You're not going back to put the FBI back into a good bottle.
Speaker 36 You're just not.
Speaker 24 The FBI is losing all credibility.
Speaker 31 And I think that's a good thing.
Speaker 86 I really do.
Speaker 11 I think
Speaker 119 we have to come to terms on how far our government institutions have gone off the beaten path.
Speaker 31 To fix them, we have to know, you need a reboot.
Speaker 59 Return to factory settings.
Speaker 86 We need a reboot.
Speaker 62 So I think,
Speaker 40 you know, the mandate,
Speaker 32 that mandate is
Speaker 83 has now been stayed.
Speaker 18 I think it's going to be overturned.
Speaker 14 I think so, too.
Speaker 14 Every once in a while, I catch myself being optimistic about something, and I realize I must immediately reverse myself.
Speaker 50 But in this particular instance, it's so egregious.
Speaker 14 I just, and it's a good sign that it's already being stayed. So that's a good sign.
Speaker 37 So here's what they're doing because they are losing.
Speaker 62 They are trying to poke at you and they're trying to put holes into the boat that can't be repaired with a sailing ship.
Speaker 40 And that is the 70 secret flights into Florida of just in the middle of the night taking them from the border.
Speaker 32 The Biden administration has flown 70 airplanes without
Speaker 83 notifying the state, just dumping them in the middle of the night.
Speaker 14
Thousands of people. I think it's 36 on each flight.
So that's, you know, 2,500 people.
Speaker 28 That is crazy.
Speaker 54 That is crazy.
Speaker 62 And the inflation, and I want to go over some of the inflation with you here in just a second, because I'm telling you, prepare to pay $5 a gallon of gasoline.
Speaker 31 And
Speaker 76 their lies,
Speaker 76 because the mainstream media cannot cover this anymore, the lies of just the gas pump is going to make them extraordinarily unpopular unpopular by spring.
Speaker 9 And they know it.
Speaker 55 So they need to hurt you in the wallet, they need to hurt you in the job, and they need to make you feel alone like you're not winning.
Speaker 37 Know that you are, because more and more people are waking up because it is so clear and obvious.
Speaker 32 Justice, the administration, and the media gone.
Speaker 135 This is the Glenback program.
Speaker 92 Okay, instead of having a candy bar or that dessert, why not have a nice protein bar instead?
Speaker 139 Those are the kinds of things that would have had some of my kids, had they said it to me, sent to their room.
Speaker 54 You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 71 Especially around the holidays.
Speaker 137 Dad, why not have a protein bar instead?
Speaker 106 Go to your room.
Speaker 153 And you've lost all of your gifts.
Speaker 86 Even the ones I've already given you.
Speaker 50 I'm taking back the things I gave to you two years ago for your birthday.
Speaker 58 Go to your room.
Speaker 65 Don't ever say that again.
Speaker 32 Until I discovered a built bar.
Speaker 38 Totally different story.
Speaker 94 It has lots of flavors and they're really great, all covered in real chocolate.
Speaker 76 Built understands that flavor comes first, then you make them healthy.
Speaker 130 If you get the flavor right, great.
Speaker 51 Now, can we make that healthy?
Speaker 53 That's how they do it.
Speaker 86 And if the flavor doesn't remain when they made it healthy, they start again.
Speaker 11 There's all kinds of different flavors.
Speaker 53 Try a box.

Speaker 151 This is the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 44 So one of the real disturbing stories of the weekend is the
Speaker 151 use of the FBI to go in and
Speaker 26 try to scare the Project Veritas
Speaker 30 writers about this Biden diary.
Speaker 18 Now, this is
Speaker 75 Ashley Biden's diary.
Speaker 41 You know, there's no way to verify, I mean, I guess you could do a handwriting analysis, you know, and find out if that is her handwriting, you know, but I'm not an expert on this.
Speaker 86 But it reads, in reading her diary,
Speaker 90 it reads
Speaker 37 genuine of somebody who is really going through tough times.
Speaker 139 This is a new diary that she started when she was trying to get off of, you know, alcohol and cocaine and drugs.
Speaker 90 And she is...
Speaker 36 She talks about going to AA meetings.
Speaker 16 She talks about, you know, the things in her past.
Speaker 32 And then she talks about
Speaker 88 the
Speaker 31 troubles that she has had in the past.
Speaker 37 She says, I was hyper-sexualized at a young age.
Speaker 29 What is this due to?
Speaker 66 I was molested, I think.
Speaker 89 I can't remember specifics, but I do remember trauma.
Speaker 140 I remember not liking the Woolzax house.
Speaker 86 Don't know what that is, but maybe that is something that is not related to dad, because that would be kind of an important thing, but it goes on.
Speaker 157 I remember somewhat being sexualized with Caroline.
Speaker 141 I remember having sex with friends at a young age, showers with my dad, probably not appropriate, and being turned on when I wasn't supposed to be.
Speaker 136 Hmm.
Speaker 126 She hurt herself
Speaker 128 after overhearing her parents having sex.
Speaker 32 What make me, what made me so attached?
Speaker 54 And this is really
Speaker 68 weird um because she
Speaker 108 she
Speaker 73 i guess punished herself and in her private parts after overhearing her parents having sex she's then asking what made me so attached my mother not emotionally available and my father's message was i could get love from men
Speaker 102 so
Speaker 14
wow This is incredibly depressing. And we don't know, obviously, we don't know the veracity of this diary.
We don't know the legitimacy of it. In fact,
Speaker 14 we know that
Speaker 14 Project Veritas did not want to print it because they could not confirm the veracity of it. But it was released by a separate conservative outlet.
Speaker 108 Right.
Speaker 127 And so I will tell you this.
Speaker 59 I don't know if this is hers, but
Speaker 78 everything in it, as an alcoholic, everything reads like this was written by somebody who was going through this.
Speaker 14 And it seems like, with the raid, as Jonathan Turley points out, it seems like basically the FBI is confirming that there was a diary stolen.
Speaker 14 We just don't, we don't know for sure that this is the information in it, though the
Speaker 14 alleged path of how it got to these pages seems to indicate that it is the same diary. But we can't confirm it completely.
Speaker 55 Yeah, I mean, and there's a lot of good stuff in here as well.
Speaker 32 There's a lot of stuff, you know, that's positive.
Speaker 137 Again, the reason I've written a diary like this, not with those things in it, but I've written a diary like this.
Speaker 61 When you start to go sober, you write a lot.
Speaker 31 And
Speaker 124 in it, she will go from really dark things to, you know,
Speaker 139 things like, you know, things like this.
Speaker 72 She's, you know, prayer.
Speaker 37 Please, whoever you are,
Speaker 59 please keep me sober today. Thanks for keeping me sober.
Speaker 157 You know, then she goes in the big book, page 417, acceptance, page 86, upon awakening and calm down.
Speaker 101 Pray to be okay, to love them, love yourself.
Speaker 140 Help me love me, please.
Speaker 14 And it sort of points to the legitimacy of it because there's actually good things in there, too. Correct.
Speaker 135 Yeah.
Speaker 108 Correct.
Speaker 14
And it's tough because it came out. If you don't remember the story, I didn't remember it either, frankly.
It was a story that came out right before the election in 2020.
Speaker 14 And it was only, it wasn't even picked up widely by conservative media, let alone mainstream media. It was not a widely shared story at the time.
Speaker 14 But it did allege these things, but it alleged them in a time period where if you're going to release a fake diary from one, I don't know why you do this, but you're going to release a fake diary from one of Biden's kids.
Speaker 14 you know, you're going to do it a week before the election for max impact.
Speaker 14 And so a lot of those things, like the Hunter Biden laptop, get dismissed by people because it just seems like when you would release a dirty trick.
Speaker 14 Uh, you know, we remember, and remember, dirty tricks do happen. Ask Dan Rather, right? Go
Speaker 14 totally fake documents in the middle of an election cycle that in when it happens to Republicans, the main anchors of network news pick them up as fact.
Speaker 14 But this gets leaked to, you know, some
Speaker 14 some conservative or Trump-supporting website that had no, real reach or credibility, at least among many, even on the conservative side.
Speaker 14 It just didn't get hugely big pickup because people doubted it. People were skeptical.
Speaker 113 But lives have changed.
Speaker 18 And you also have to understand the sickness of the Biden children.
Speaker 32 And I mean this with,
Speaker 87 honestly, with no malice towards them.
Speaker 36 Obviously, something in their family is
Speaker 83 not all right.
Speaker 74 I don't know what it is, but you don't have
Speaker 66 the children that the Bidens have that are this addicted to drugs and out of control without something.
Speaker 28 And it could just be the fame.
Speaker 74 It could be nothing that is out of the usual other than you don't have a regular life
Speaker 59 if your parents are, you know, the vice president or a senior senator or, you know, famous.
Speaker 14 And they've had obviously major tragedy in their life. You know, there's other things that can lead you to dark moments.
Speaker 14 But I mean, as Pat pointed out, because I think this is off the air, but Pat, when he was in here, said, I don't think I could have picked her out of a lineup before this weekend.
Speaker 81 Correct.
Speaker 14 I mean, did you even know there was an Ashley Biden? It's like people always make that joke about Tiffany Trump that she's never really corrected. But I know exactly what Tiffany Trump looks like.
Speaker 14 I've seen her 100,000 times.
Speaker 8 Like, Ashley Biden?
Speaker 7 Like,
Speaker 14 honestly, like,
Speaker 14
it's a fascinating thing because you hear about Bo. He talks about Bo all the time.
He talks about Hunter when he has to.
Speaker 14 But Ashley's really remained out of the spotlight. And
Speaker 14 if some of this stuff is accurate, I mean, you'd understand why she'd want to be out of the spotlight.
Speaker 11 Well,
Speaker 87 she also talks here.
Speaker 36 It's sad.
Speaker 59 His feelings I produced in another, my dad
Speaker 81 owned
Speaker 36 something on the phone saying that he has the debate in a week and now has to worry about you.
Speaker 16 He said,
Speaker 84 owned, I guess, or I don't know.
Speaker 55 Maybe he knows
Speaker 92 what I have been doing.
Speaker 170 It's the weekend, but my feelings of guilt are often overwhelming.
Speaker 91 Blah, blah, blah. She goes in to talk about how
Speaker 16 her dad has always controlled
Speaker 32 the finances of the family and
Speaker 91 that she
Speaker 90 is,
Speaker 91 she resents him, and so do the other children, the way he has been doing the financing.
Speaker 142 She worries about the exposure because one of her brothers bought a house.
Speaker 107 This
Speaker 36 sounds exactly like Hunter Biden's laptop.
Speaker 36 Now, why is the FBI
Speaker 56 going in and
Speaker 35 trying to intimidate press members who have exposed this a year
Speaker 19 after,
Speaker 103 a year after
Speaker 71 this went away.
Speaker 56 You leave it alone and nothing happens, right?
Speaker 19 Sure.
Speaker 32 So either somebody is about to release something,
Speaker 32 Project Veritas or somebody, which then,
Speaker 43 what's happening?
Speaker 14 I mean, it's also, you have to take this into account.
Speaker 14 At this point, with what we know about what this administration has done and what their patterns have been over the past few years, you have to take into account that it may very well just be an excuse to get to whatever Project Veritas has.
Speaker 14 You know what I mean?
Speaker 14 Going in there and being able to apprehend a bunch of computers and hard drives and files or whatever else they're taking out of there has God only knows what other information about other things that could be there.
Speaker 14 I mean, this could just be not an intimidation effort, but an
Speaker 14 information gathering effort to go after a political opponent, which, which, you know, you mentioned Banana Republic. That is squarely
Speaker 22 on the path of what's going on.
Speaker 111 We are firmly this weekend,
Speaker 12 it's very clear, just with all of the news that has broken this weekend, it is very clear.
Speaker 40 We live in a Banana Republic.
Speaker 102 There is a
Speaker 83 collusion between intelligence,
Speaker 32 justice, and this administration, and I think the media as well.
Speaker 59 You notice the media isn't talking about this.
Speaker 40 Every single member of the media, if they were doing this to,
Speaker 23 oh, who do I really?
Speaker 114 Brian Stelter, if they were doing this to
Speaker 22 that
Speaker 95 Seinfeld character who is of absolute no value, if they were doing that to him, I would be standing up saying, what are they doing?
Speaker 55 What are they doing?
Speaker 14 Yeah, I know the New York Post came out and defended Project Veritas and said, what is going on here? Correct, all be together.
Speaker 17 Hats off to Jonathan Turley.
Speaker 23 Turley, he is as well.
Speaker 32 I mean, he's a CNN guy.
Speaker 83 I haven't seen him on CNN.
Speaker 99 I doubt they're telling his story.
Speaker 1 He's not getting booked this week. But he is.
Speaker 135 No, he's not getting booked this week, but he did write about it
Speaker 139 and say,
Speaker 78 this is very disturbing. Very disturbing.
Speaker 14 It's supposed to be disturbing to anybody in the media. I know
Speaker 14 that when
Speaker 14 the Obama administration went after multiple media members, and it wasn't just Fox, though, Fox was one of the targets.
Speaker 23 And we were against all of it.
Speaker 135 We were against all of it.
Speaker 1 I mean, you can't have this.
Speaker 14 This is in opposition to what our country was built on. I mean, foundationally,
Speaker 14 we're talking First Amendment issues here.
Speaker 47 I stood and I stood with, I don't know, journalists of Americans or over America or whatever their journalistic thing is.
Speaker 32 And I was asked to sign on to standing up for the rights of press under Trump.
Speaker 66 And this is when he was saying at the very beginning, the press is an enemy of the people. And, you know, maybe we should regulate them.
Speaker 71 And that was very frightening to me.
Speaker 45 You don't regulate the press.
Speaker 58 It is free and uncumbered.
Speaker 126 And so I signed on, not for the same reasons that some of the press did, because they were only going against Trump.
Speaker 80 But I'm consistent.
Speaker 109 I thought it was wrong then.
Speaker 38 I thought it was wrong under Obama.
Speaker 37 And this is the worst abuse I have seen.
Speaker 36 I never thought I would live in a country, in this country, in this country, where that kind of thing could go on, and nobody says anything.
Speaker 14 Well, they're saying something now. Again, it's an early, it's a story that's breaking really recently, so who knows what else we'll find out about it.
Speaker 14 But I mean, what we know now from the reporting that's out there, it is incredibly disturbing.
Speaker 79 Very.
Speaker 14
And I don't know, maybe the circumstances will change. Maybe there's something we're supposed supposed to know that we don't.
But man, this is not what's supposed to happen in this country.

Speaker 128 You are listening to the Glen Beck Program.
Speaker 19 Welcome to the Glen Beck program.
Speaker 135 Oh, thank you.
Speaker 112 I
Speaker 65 mean, I can't let this story, it would be wrong of me to let this story go.
Speaker 60 Apparently, Camilla Parker Bowles, everyone's favorite,
Speaker 124 met with the president in Scotland during the global climate change gathering.
Speaker 137 And they were talking, and
Speaker 19 she
Speaker 40 said that it was so long and loud, it was impossible to ignore.
Speaker 138 And apparently,
Speaker 58 she hasn't stopped talking about it.
Speaker 20 She said
Speaker 48 she was having a conversation with the president, and he let out a very long and loud, impossible to ignore fart.
Speaker 19 This is actually...
Speaker 14
This is incredibly believable. I have no skepticism of this story whatsoever.
It's just so.
Speaker 106 It's from the New York Post.
Speaker 14 It so plays into what I believe happens that I can't even be skeptical.
Speaker 66 Also, the source spoke to the Sunday Mail
Speaker 36 in London.
Speaker 14 Why was that loud? How they heard it too?
Speaker 135 No.
Speaker 105 Well,
Speaker 86 I don't know, but I mean, maybe that has something to do with the climate agenda.
Speaker 126 If we can get him to stop farting,
Speaker 72 you know.
Speaker 14 There are a lot of emissions there.
Speaker 9 There's a lot of emissions.
Speaker 137 Honestly, my son has a really bad farting problem.
Speaker 20 Always has. Always has.
Speaker 14 I'm sure he's really appreciative of you announcing this.
Speaker 10 No, he's very pleased.
Speaker 37 He's very pleased.
Speaker 58 He would admit it himself.
Speaker 66 I mean, I think he is a bioweapon.
Speaker 19 Really?
Speaker 30 I do think he's a bioweapon.
Speaker 32 And I don't know what's inside of him, but something crawled inside of him and died.
Speaker 148 And
Speaker 114 I would meet in Scotland or any place on the earth to be able to control that.
Speaker 14 That's an emissions program you could get on board.
Speaker 23 I could get on board.
Speaker 128 I'm planting trees at my house just to balance the environment yeah how is that working is it working not not not real well not real well not real well no no
Speaker 113 you know not letting him live on candy has been helpful helpful
Speaker 136 um
Speaker 91 but uh the trees aren't working so
Speaker 42 i say no to planting more trees in case cop 26 needs to know
Speaker 140 i'm just saying
Speaker 6 well i'm sure they're gonna
Speaker 14 they're going to uh be very interested in your feedback on their own.
Speaker 108 Well,
Speaker 29 I think the Prince Charles wife, Main Squeeze, would agree with me.
Speaker 86 There's no tree that could help in that situation.
Speaker 86 This is the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 81 Hello, America.
Speaker 27 Buckle up.
Speaker 36 Gas prices are going up.
Speaker 56 Heating oil.
Speaker 89 When you hear Granholm talk about what is the plan from the White House and what is her plan on relieving the oil price.
Speaker 160 In fact, I should probably, I mean, I really think we should
Speaker 160 alert full-fledged duct tape alert.
Speaker 159 I've never heard anything like this before from a government official.
Speaker 86 Never heard anything like it.
Speaker 140 They just think so little of you that we can't do the math on this one.
Speaker 37 All that and more coming up in 60 seconds.
Speaker 37 The Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 17 Okay, here is the thing.
Speaker 45 We are not doing our children any favors.
Speaker 32 Stu and I were talking about this earlier today.
Speaker 32 I don't remember how it came up, but you said, why is it so much worse now than it was in the 1960s?
Speaker 70 And it was a long commercial break, and he regretted asking that at a long commercial break.
Speaker 17 And I went back to 1800 and I said, look, if your grandfather was born in 1800
Speaker 31 and
Speaker 50 had you in 1830, he was still alive after the Civil War.
Speaker 22 You grew up in the Civil War.
Speaker 76 Your grandfather, still alive in 1870,
Speaker 54 he was there at the founding fathers.
Speaker 97 He remembers,
Speaker 54 you know, maybe his father was fighting for the American Revolution, and you don't get out of that cycle until about 1930.
Speaker 65 So if you're born born in 1930, now you're starting to go in the progressive era, even 1900, it all just kind of goes away.
Speaker 96 There's no underpinning of anything worthwhile anymore.
Speaker 56 And we were just riding on the fumes.
Speaker 35 of the past.
Speaker 121 That's all that was happening.
Speaker 92 I mean, we grew up with Gilligan's Island and I Love Lucy and the Brady Bunch.
Speaker 135 Those were all morality plays.
Speaker 37 We had our churches.
Speaker 113 We got nothing now.
Speaker 121 We have nothing.
Speaker 103 You are the last defense.
Speaker 28 You must teach your children things because society is teaching them the exact opposite.
Speaker 51 It is so important that you order the Tuttle Twins books.
Speaker 61 I'm not selling you a product.
Speaker 64 I wish everybody could have it for free.
Speaker 94 I really believe in the message of these books.
Speaker 35 They are teaching the truths.
Speaker 71 Have you ever heard of iPencil?
Speaker 124 It's a great story of how the free market works.
Speaker 64 Well, they've even broken that down.
Speaker 32 They've taken some of these classics that honestly you probably haven't read yourself and you should.
Speaker 64 They've broken it down for kids.
Speaker 32 So you're going to learn something, they're going to learn something.
Speaker 45 And it's the nature of why a republic works, why free markets work, our God-given freedoms, why they're so important.
Speaker 126 It's the Tuttle Twins books.
Speaker 38 Go to TuttleTwinsbeck.com, TuttleTwinsBeck.com, get a discount of 35% off.

Speaker 18 So let me give you a couple of let me give you a couple of things
Speaker 40 Fertilizers fertilizer shortages are now starting to come out
Speaker 42 and I know I know I mean I've been looking for fertilizer, you know, especially per ton
Speaker 20 it
Speaker 50 The liquid nitrogen-based fertilizer widely used for growing grain and other grass crops stood at $522 per ton in the fourth week of October.
Speaker 18 The product has now jumped 18% over the average from September to reach its highest price in 13 years.
Speaker 32 And that's since the beginning.
Speaker 18 The fertilizer has climbed 26%
Speaker 153 from September to October. Remember, it was 522 per pound or per ton.
Speaker 127 It is now 982
Speaker 33 per ton.
Speaker 126 It's up 108% over the year.
Speaker 78 Why is this important?
Speaker 37 Because fertilizers are needed to grow food.
Speaker 89 So this should go to your understanding that food is going to be more expensive.
Speaker 28 Last week,
Speaker 138 we had Carol Roth on and she was talking about something that I couldn't verify and she went out and she did verify it, that there is even a can shortage.
Speaker 116 So, even canned foods are going to be harder to come by.
Speaker 36 It is really a good time to learn how to can for yourself, honestly.
Speaker 73 It is a good time to take the time this year.
Speaker 32 Maybe that's a Christmas thing that you give each other or whatever, you know, heirloom seeds and books on how to plant a garden and how to do that if you happen to live in an area where you can.
Speaker 32 In New York, pizza's always been a buck-a-slice.
Speaker 138 And it's kind of a New York thing, buck-a-slice.
Speaker 14 Literally, the 99 cents a slice is like the name of 4,000 pizza restaurants. Correct.
Speaker 14 It's just the title of the store.
Speaker 108 Correct.
Speaker 38 It's now $1.50 in New York.
Speaker 14 At the 99 cent place?
Speaker 127 At the 99 cent place.
Speaker 14 Do they have to update their sign or they just start charging more?
Speaker 60 They say everything
Speaker 58 that they serve and everything that goes into the pizza is up 50 to 200%.
Speaker 134 percent.
Speaker 60 This is inflation.
Speaker 111 Then, by the way,
Speaker 32 they're firing truckers now because of Biden's vaccine mandate.
Speaker 26 Oh, and 7,200 truckers have failed their drug tests, so they can't be out on the road.
Speaker 134 But don't worry about it.
Speaker 33 We're not going to have a problem.
Speaker 82 In fact, Joe Biden just knows that he is above you.
Speaker 58 He is smarter than you.
Speaker 55 Cut eight, here's Joe Biden over the weekend.
Speaker 76 Listen.
Speaker 174 If we were all
Speaker 174 going out and having lunch together, and I said, let's ask whoever's in the next table, no matter
Speaker 174 what restaurant we're in, have them explain the supply chain to us.
Speaker 174 Think they'd understand what we're talking about? They're smart people, but supply chain.
Speaker 14
That's a great point. Wow, he makes so many good coherent points.
He's a good point. They're smart people, but
Speaker 23 supply chain.
Speaker 14 Wow, what a great observation.
Speaker 71 Now, I know this isn't the supply chain.
Speaker 66 I think you could
Speaker 32 understand.
Speaker 127 Me make things
Speaker 62 in China.
Speaker 141 Put on big boat.
Speaker 67 Goes across water.
Speaker 23 Docks.
Speaker 134 Unload, put on trucks and trains.
Speaker 71 Then ship to store.
Speaker 81 Me go out and buy.
Speaker 165
That's the food chain. The supply chain.
It's not that difficult.
Speaker 122 Food chain. Food chain.
Speaker 93 Plant seeds in ground.
Speaker 106 Then
Speaker 19 harvest.
Speaker 121 Put in truck.
Speaker 88 Delivered to grocery place or canning plant.
Speaker 1 That's it. Logistically,
Speaker 14 it is a very complicated process, but generally speaking, I think we all understand who they are.
Speaker 32 But the guy who says you don't understand the supply chain, then puts
Speaker 18 a mandate out for vaccines that takes tons of truck drivers off.
Speaker 55 Then, the law, the new law that has just been put in, 7,200 truckers have failed some sort of a drug test for the federal government.
Speaker 100 So now they're off the roads, and he comes out and says it's not going to affect the supply chain.
Speaker 41 I don't think you know what the supply chain is, Joe.
Speaker 18 I don't think you do.
Speaker 138 And may I just present one more piece of evidence?
Speaker 54 I don't think you understand any of it.
Speaker 133 He is talking this weekend about shutting down yet another pipeline okay
Speaker 112 that won't be good
Speaker 56 me understand
Speaker 71 gas come from magic pump
Speaker 82 so we we are now shutting down another
Speaker 40 we've already done the xl now another pipeline he's talking about closing down We are paying record prices for gas.
Speaker 54 And here is our energy secretary.
Speaker 111 Listen to the question and her response.
Speaker 138 I've never heard a response like this from a government official ever.
Speaker 19 Listen.
Speaker 175
In Sturgis, Michigan, it is $2.89 a gallon. I guess that's better than in California.
What is the Grand Holmes plan to increase oil production in America?
Speaker 136 Oh, my God.
Speaker 3
That is hilarious. Would that I had the magic wand on this? As you know, of course, oil is a global market.
It is controlled by a cartel. That cartel is called OPEC.
Speaker 3 And they made a decision yesterday that they were not going to increase beyond what they were already planning.
Speaker 100 So
Speaker 92 people are, by the way, by the way, here she is.
Speaker 18 Here she is talking about heating.
Speaker 37 Now, listen.
Speaker 62 Remember, she's laughing at this.
Speaker 18 Here she is talking about heating.
Speaker 14 Listen to this.
Speaker 3 Should Americans in what will likely be a cold winter, most of them are, expect to pay higher prices for heating their homes? Yeah,
Speaker 3 this is going to happen.
Speaker 3 It will be more expensive this year than last year.
Speaker 3 We are in a slightly beneficial position, certainly relative to Europe, because their chokehold of natural gas is very significant. They're going to pay five times higher.
Speaker 3 But we have the same problem in fuels that the supply chains have, which is that the oil and gas companies are not flipping the switch as quickly as the demand requires.
Speaker 3 And so that's why the president has been focused on both the immediate term and the long term. Let us get off of the volatility associated with fossil fuels and
Speaker 38 Stu, didn't she say, oh, I wish I had a magic switch or a magic wand?
Speaker 8 Okay, yeah.
Speaker 19 She just said that it's not the cartels of OPEC.
Speaker 113 She's now saying that it's the oil companies that aren't flipping the switch.
Speaker 50 So maybe it's the cartels or was it the American companies?
Speaker 18 Who was that?
Speaker 113 No, this is caused by them.
Speaker 7 That's hilarious.
Speaker 164 Oh man.
Speaker 124 I wish this government, you know, knew
Speaker 81 how to
Speaker 138 reverse engineer what they've done in the last nine months.
Speaker 103 Oil independence.
Speaker 112 But they can't do that.
Speaker 20 They're being held hostage.
Speaker 7 No.
Speaker 7 Can't. It's incredible.
Speaker 100 I just can't tell you.
Speaker 20 These guys,
Speaker 18 they know the truth.
Speaker 112 And if they don't know the truth, then they are too damn dumb to run this country.
Speaker 126 Because honestly,
Speaker 82 I may not know all the ins and outs of everything with the supply chain.
Speaker 110 Me caveman.
Speaker 112 I may not know all of it, but I can figure it out pretty damn quickly.
Speaker 82 I don't know all the ins and outs of the border, but I can figure this one out pretty quickly.
Speaker 82 I don't know all the ins and outs of inflation, but I know when Janet Yellen said this weekend, we're going to need $100 trillion
Speaker 71 to fight climate control.
Speaker 110 I think I know enough to go that might not be good for inflation.
Speaker 14 You don't think?
Speaker 121 I don't think.
Speaker 138 I don't think.
Speaker 111 These people,
Speaker 111 they are either, and we should have an investigation into this.
Speaker 62 Honestly, I mean it.
Speaker 22 They are either absolutely evil and they know exactly what they're doing.
Speaker 12 I would never say that.
Speaker 16 I'm not a cynic.
Speaker 109 Or they're just too damn stupid to run this country.
Speaker 60 Which one is it?
Speaker 73 Which one is it?
Speaker 72 I put my money down on one, but I won't tell you which one. That would be unfair.
Speaker 123 All right, Relief Factor.
Speaker 32 Relief Factor has gotten me out of pain.
Speaker 83 Nina wrote in.
Speaker 32 She said, Glenn, Relief Factor did the same thing for me.
Speaker 56 I can now work in my flower garden, walk my dog, and run up and down my stairs without any pain.
Speaker 40 I sleep through the night without an ice pack on my knee.
Speaker 19 I love Relief Factor.
Speaker 58 Nina, I am the same place, same place.
Speaker 55 Relief Factor has helped me in so many ways.
Speaker 36 I couldn't function before it.
Speaker 18 Relief Factor is not a drug, but it was developed by doctors, and 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
Speaker 50 So try it for three weeks.
Speaker 36 Just try the quick start for $19.95.
Speaker 36 You have nothing to lose but your pain. It's relief factor.com, 800-500-8384.
Speaker 170 ReliefFactor.com, 800-500-8384.
Speaker 73 10 seconds, station ID.
Speaker 92 So
Speaker 17 we got great gas prices.
Speaker 45 We can laugh about what people are going to be paying.
Speaker 18 They'll be paying so much more money
Speaker 160 for heating their home
Speaker 27 this winter.
Speaker 35 And
Speaker 101 I wish I knew of a pipeline that I could not maybe close down.
Speaker 53 but I can't think of one.
Speaker 14 Well, if you don't want high gas prices, just buy a $130,000 Tesla. That's an easy way around it.
Speaker 168 That is an easy way.
Speaker 92 Yeah.
Speaker 121 I never thought of that.
Speaker 14 No gas prices and no electricity prices.
Speaker 36 Well, I know a lot of people who are right on the edge of thinking, I got to have a $135,000 car.
Speaker 124 You got to have it.
Speaker 14 I have to have it.
Speaker 60 But
Speaker 62 I only want a discount on it, and I'll only buy it if it's union-made.
Speaker 24 Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 104 If it's union-made, then I know it's extra special.
Speaker 14 For the environment.
Speaker 52 For the environment.
Speaker 73 Trees love unions.
Speaker 99 They do.
Speaker 14 So Elon Musk over the weekend was tweeting that he wants to, he was, should I, he asked, should I sell 10% of my stock in Tesla, which would be tens of billions of dollars, right?
Speaker 14 It's something like $16 billion or something like that worth of stock.
Speaker 14 And he put it up, obviously, as any billionaire would, as a Twitter poll so people could vote on whether he should sell the stock or not.
Speaker 102 Well, it's all those unrealized gains, you know.
Speaker 40 Right.
Speaker 36 So he's got, he owes $15 million or $15, no, $15 billion?
Speaker 98 $15.
Speaker 65 I can't remember.
Speaker 137 I think it's billion.
Speaker 14 Billion if they do that.
Speaker 91 $15 billion
Speaker 32 in taxes, but he doesn't pay taxes.
Speaker 120 He doesn't pay taxes. Right.
Speaker 23 We've already learned that.
Speaker 14 It's interesting, though, because this is obviously not the normal way a CEO acts or a founder of a company acts.
Speaker 8 But that's why people love Elon Musk, right?
Speaker 14 And it's interesting because the culture he is providing
Speaker 14 is incentivizing some interesting behavior, and the government is making all of this worse, which is not a not a shock.
Speaker 14 And I was thinking about this with crypto, first of all, because Mark Cuban tweeted a poll that came out. And it said 4% of Americans have left their jobs because of crypto gains.
Speaker 67 Wow.
Speaker 14
4%. Millions of people.
I wish I was one of them.
Speaker 14 And he says, shockingly, I think it's 64% of the people who said they left their jobs because of cryptocurrency gains were making less than $50,000 a year.
Speaker 115 Okay.
Speaker 63 Not good planners.
Speaker 27 Well, but
Speaker 14 I was thinking about this as it relates to the government and what we're doing right now.
Speaker 14 And I think we're creating a really
Speaker 14 creating a combustible formula here. So
Speaker 14 if it's true, right, people who are making crypto gains are
Speaker 14 leaving their their job and they're not making a ton of money, right? They're not, these are not like, you know, millionaires who are leaving their job for this. These are people who are making
Speaker 14 average salary or less.
Speaker 14 And of course, that makes some sense, right? If you're a millionaire already and you make $100,000 in crypto, it doesn't change your lifestyle all that much. It's a little bit extra savings.
Speaker 14 If you are making $25,000 a year, well, then it is going to make your, it's going to change your life in a significant way.
Speaker 14 And you see all these like bizarre cryptocurrencies, the joke cryptocurrencies,
Speaker 14 all going through the roof at a time where people are looking, I think, at their situation and saying, well, the government has set a floor here for me, right? If I'm, if I'm
Speaker 94 just a second, I have a really bad answer to what I think you're driving to.
Speaker 19 You could stop right now or I could give you the historic
Speaker 21 parallel.
Speaker 56 And I'm telling you now, you won't like it.
Speaker 88 Okay.
Speaker 7 But go ahead if you choose.
Speaker 14 Okay. Well, quickly then,
Speaker 14 if the floor is there, the government's going to take care of your basic needs.
Speaker 14 They're going to be funneling money to you here and there for things that you want and supposedly need, giveaways all over the place. When you get a $2,000
Speaker 14 check from the government,
Speaker 14 a stimulus check, are you going to save it? Are you going to go out and even like old school, like go buy an Xbox?
Speaker 14 Or are you going to put that $2,000 in some dog cryptocurrency that may or may not make you a millionaire tomorrow? And eventually, it seems like
Speaker 14 you're incentivizing people to take wild risks with their money.
Speaker 14 And the reason why this is connected to Tesla, obviously he's been very connected to the dog cryptocurrencies, but also the same people who talk about buying very crazy cryptocurrencies also talk about buying Tesla stock.
Speaker 14
And even Elon Musk himself. has said the Tesla stock is too high.
It's overvalued.
Speaker 14 So the people who are getting some access to money, why not buy a lottery ticket when you know the floor, which is not that much different from where you are now when you're making $25,000, the floor isn't that far below you, and it's already maintained by the government.
Speaker 14 And then you throw a few thousand dollars that you might come into into some lottery ticket, and maybe you turn into this person who quits their job and never has to think about working again until that cryptocurrency falls to the floor in two weeks.
Speaker 124 But then what happens to that person? Are they just a slave to the system?
Speaker 35 Right.
Speaker 25 They go back.
Speaker 6 Well, I mean, they go back to
Speaker 14 having the government handouts.
Speaker 6 They go back.
Speaker 14
They don't lose their home in this situation. They don't lose access to the things that they want.
They might not have a great life, but they didn't have one before.
Speaker 14 And they argue, well, what's the downside here? When I know where my floor is, I'm already close to that floor anyway.
Speaker 28 Why would I invest this in something that might be a long-term gain or even go buy something i want why not take the lottery ticket and that's so you know what's really funny you know what's really funny is i've said in the past history doesn't just repeat itself it is repeating itself you got about a quarter away into that and i went oh my gosh oh i think i know where he's going with this and uh
Speaker 55 gosh history has repeated itself i'll give that to you may we return to this yeah uh
Speaker 33 probably tomorrow.
Speaker 138 It's not going to make you happy.
Speaker 119 Oh, no.
Speaker 23 It's not going to make you happy.
Speaker 65 But there is a lesson to be learned because that is a very important thing that you just said.
Speaker 61 And it's why I've been ringing the bell so hard because it's already happened one other time.
Speaker 150 This is the Glenbach program.
Speaker 14 Good thing is whenever I talk to you, I know it's not going to make me happy. I just know that going in.
Speaker 50 It's weird.
Speaker 115 Because I feel the same exact.
Speaker 7 All right.
Speaker 32 I'm sure you can guess when it has happened in history, but it has happened at a time when inflation went out of control.
Speaker 63 People lost their minds.
Speaker 153 We are at that place.
Speaker 40 And the people who survived last time were the ones who didn't go over the cliff into insanity.
Speaker 141 They were the ones that were prepared and they knew that the world would return eventually to sane things.
Speaker 40 All that glitters is not gold.
Speaker 103 Gold is gold.

Speaker 153 I want you to know
Speaker 32 you might be getting up today and you might be thinking, what the hell have I done with my life?
Speaker 68 I, I mean,
Speaker 44 I don't really have a future.
Speaker 73 I want you to feel better because I'm going to introduce you to Stephen Kent.
Speaker 18 He is a guy who has focused, I believe, his entire life on Star Wars.
Speaker 32 And, I mean, knows it, knows everything about it, everything about it.
Speaker 26 And he has been able to eke out a career.
Speaker 23 A good one. A good one.
Speaker 135 He seems to be doing really well.
Speaker 2 The American Dream is alive. Yeah.
Speaker 50 You really have.
Speaker 90 I mean, you've taken this and you've taken the Star Wars mythology and
Speaker 127 all of the imagery and you can so easily
Speaker 106 learn lessons from today and politics and everything else from Star Wars.
Speaker 17 Now you have a new book, How the Force Can Fix the World.
Speaker 2
Oh, yeah. We thought it should be How the Force Could Fix America.
And then I went into one of those editorial meetings with your publisher and they're like, but what about the world?
Speaker 6 Guys, I think this is
Speaker 7 shooting a little bit too big right out of the gate.
Speaker 2 But yeah, you know, everything that we face, I think, particularly like in the West and American society that we see breaking, whether it be sort of democratic norms, enmity towards our neighbors, political polarization, these are trends happening all across the world.
Speaker 20 So let's take,
Speaker 32 did you see the woman? I think it was on CNN
Speaker 20 who said,
Speaker 100 these women in Virginia, they're just disgusting and stupid.
Speaker 112 I'd like to know how I can connect with them.
Speaker 53 And I think by not seeing the first part of that question is probably the answer.
Speaker 2 Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2 I was actually looking at that this morning, and it's one of those case in points for how when you watch a lot of Star Wars, you see a lot of weird connections that I think other people would not otherwise see.
Speaker 2 This woman, Amy Siskind, she said, I join others in being dismayed and disgusted by these women. She's talking about
Speaker 2
Virginia voters. I don't know how to reach non-college educated white women.
The women I can connect with and influence are college-educated white women. I'm open to suggestions, she says.
Speaker 2 Well, I'm glad.
Speaker 2 You know, the book, chapter one, deals with Star Wars and the virtue of humility, which is this thing which I think is hard to find in today's culture, whether it be like Facebook serving us up exactly what we want to see all the time, Twitter echo chambers and us talking to only our own people.
Speaker 2 But then I was actually thinking, so what's the Star Wars analogy here? And it actually is Star Wars Episode 1, The Phantom Menace.
Speaker 5 Everyone's favorite movie.
Speaker 166 Yeah.
Speaker 8 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 22 Well received.
Speaker 2 No, I mean, so there's this great story in there where the planet is.
Speaker 8 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 71 May I guess?
Speaker 38 Y'all please.
Speaker 40 That woman should have never been created.
Speaker 74 Is that the lesson? That's the lesson I get from episode one.
Speaker 136 Ah, yes.
Speaker 135 Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 That's That's the kind of enmity we're trying to wipe away from our society.
Speaker 8 No,
Speaker 2 it's all about the Gungans, right? So the Gungans, these incredibly annoying fish hybrids that live on the planet of Naboo.
Speaker 2 How does Queen Amidala in that movie repel the Trade Federation who have invaded that planet in that movie? She doesn't go to the Gungans and say, I know y'all are fish.
Speaker 2 I know you're kind of disgusting and you smell bad, but we've all been invaded by these droid armies.
Speaker 2 I really would like your help if you can find time from being uncivil scolds that's not what she does the woman takes a knee and says we beg of your help we respect and the mutual greatness of our societies we need you in this moment that's not a direct quote but wait all right Didn't they give birth to Jarjar Binks?
Speaker 9 They did. They did.
Speaker 2 Someone who it's easy to hold contempt for.
Speaker 134 Again, the one thing that you learn, don't make this episode.
Speaker 2 The subtext of the movie matters a whole lot. There's this interesting line when she goes to the Gungans for help to get this thing in this moment.
Speaker 2 Boss Nast, the guy who heads up the Gungans, I'm not going to say anything in Gungan speak, but in the king's English here. He says, you saiding you greater than the Gungans? I like this.
Speaker 2 Maybe we can be friends. He only hated the Naboo and Queen Amidala because he thought the Naboo thought they were better than them.
Speaker 2
And that was why he was willing to let them die in that movie and be ruled by the droids until she expressed that, no, we don't think you're great. We're greater than you.
We need your help.
Speaker 2 There's a lesson to be learned in that for all of us, when how we are trying to relate to people who we want to join us in coalition and politics. It's all about contempt.
Speaker 2 Do you remember Anderson Cooper after the January 6th riot, you know, whatever you want to call it, when he mentioned that all the people involved in the Capitol storming event were going to be going back to Olive Garden and the Holiday Inn with this sort of sneer, you know, like, oh man, these normal people going to Olive Garden, the greatest restaurant in America with a white tablecloth that normal people go to to feel like they're having a nice dinner with their families and feel good about themselves.
Speaker 2 I spent the majority of my 20s going to that restaurant because I barely had any money in my bank account.
Speaker 2 And I wanted to take my daughter and my wife to a nice place where someone took our order and a white tablecloth meal. Olive Garden was that place.
Speaker 32 Yeah, I used to go to Olive Garden all the time until I married an Italian.
Speaker 41 Right. Yeah.
Speaker 7 Now she won't even let me leave.
Speaker 2 She still has to go every Father's Day because I want the infinite breadstone.
Speaker 28 So can I go back to something you said?
Speaker 32 What was that quote that you said in the King's English?
Speaker 107 Could you get that again?
Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, so Boss Nass says to them, you sa no thinking you sa greater than the gungans? We sa like this. Maybe we can be friends.
Speaker 83 So my question is.
Speaker 59 Did anyone think you would have a success in life?
Speaker 56 You memorized that.
Speaker 165 I mean, there's got to be somebody in your life that went, son, son.
Speaker 2 There's something wrong with me.
Speaker 2 I remember when I first started the Beltway Banthos podcast, which you both of you have been a guest on this video.
Speaker 19 And it's great.
Speaker 165 It is really good. I'm giving you a hard time.
Speaker 2 You're complicit in what has happened to me.
Speaker 2 But I remember my dad gave me a pat on the shoulder over dinner. He's like, son, don't let this become a distraction.
Speaker 2 Five years later, it's all I do.
Speaker 2 So here we are.
Speaker 19 Good for you.
Speaker 68 Sorry, Dad. Sorry, Dad.
Speaker 100 So
Speaker 141 I think of the one quote that I remember from, I don't know, episode one of the first three.
Speaker 56 This is the way a republic ends, or this is the way freedom dies, something like that.
Speaker 2 With thunderous applause.
Speaker 51 Correct. I think of that all the time.
Speaker 103 What do you look at and say,
Speaker 75 this is the Star Wars story happening right now?
Speaker 2 Yeah, so I mean, it has to be popular consent for things that take away your freedoms.
Speaker 2 I think my sort of waking up moment as a political person was, of course, the post-9-11 era, the Patriot Act, and, you know, the government being willing to just take everything that it can get with the popular consent of the people who want to be safe.
Speaker 2
We all understand that. And we're all looking at the pandemic very much the same way.
This is never going to end.
Speaker 2
They're going to take, take, take, as long as there are people saying, please keep us safe. We never want to be in harm's way.
That's real. And I love that line a lot.
Speaker 2 But one thing that I also go to is in episode two, Padme and Anakin are having their little date in the field on the boot. It's an awful scene.
Speaker 27 Like it's horrible. It's really fast-forwarded through that.
Speaker 2
It's really like one of the one of the worst acted scenes in the movie. But it's really important.
And for this reason, Anakin and Padme are talking about politics and how it should work.
Speaker 2 And she says, what kind of system would you like? And Anakin says, I want a system where the politicians sit down and discuss what's in the best interest of the people. And then they do it.
Speaker 2
And she says, well, that's what we already do. But the trouble is people don't agree.
He says, well, they should be made to. Who's going to make them?
Speaker 141 You?
Speaker 2 Not me, someone wise. Right there is the totalitarian instinct that a lot of us have.
Speaker 2 A lot of us have little dormant totalitarian tendencies that we say no to because we believe in liberty, we believe in it despite the things that we want to control.
Speaker 113 So, can you tell me, and this is an honest question?
Speaker 14 By the way, that's a hundred times more than I took out of that scene. Just what you just said.
Speaker 5 I think it's the most important one.
Speaker 32 I remember once you said it, I remembered that too.
Speaker 43 I blocked it from my memory because all of those are so bad.
Speaker 23 But,
Speaker 121 you know,
Speaker 93 this is an honest question. Yeah.
Speaker 134 How can the people who are writing and filming these damn things
Speaker 121 not
Speaker 100 understand
Speaker 56 the point?
Speaker 2 Because they always think it's about the other people out there who don't see the world they do. They're always looking at their movies and going, yeah, we love freedom, but those other people don't.
Speaker 2 We have a special knack for putting masks on people that we don't see the world the same as or who we don't agree with and cartoonizing their points of view.
Speaker 2 And in Star Wars, you see see this in every single movie.
Speaker 2 Bad guys wearing masks, and then heroes who have the task of trying to see past them and know that there is a person under there, whether it be cute boy Kyle O'Rin or Darth Vader.
Speaker 2 Like, it is the call of heroes to try to rise to the occasion on that, unmask people, and treat them like people.
Speaker 45 So, what I got from that is that Fauci is a Sith Lord.
Speaker 2 It's hard.
Speaker 135 It is hard not to,
Speaker 5 yeah.
Speaker 2 It is hard not to.
Speaker 2 And it's, and it's kind of one of those things, it's just like when the guy is given sort of the mandate to rule, keep everybody safe, and you just see no inkling of a possibility that this guy's going to let it go.
Speaker 2 Like it's going to be the forever pandemic, endemic. And what does that mean for the public health establishment that they're always going to be around?
Speaker 2 You saw what they did last year where they got rid of eviction moratoriums? The CDC getting involved in housing? It's incredibly egregious.
Speaker 2
And we cannot just like sit back and applaud that they're going to do this. Nobody elected them to do anything like that.
They're giving away our freedoms step by step.
Speaker 2 Eventually, we're going to have to accept reasonable risk and get back to life.
Speaker 19 The name of the book is How the Force Can Fix the World.
Speaker 40 There is one thing that I've always appreciated from you:
Speaker 2 only one.
Speaker 135 Don't push me.
Speaker 81 No,
Speaker 118 the fact that you can take lessons from popular culture, because Stu and I were talking about this earlier today.
Speaker 127 Everything is gone.
Speaker 126 If it wasn't for podcasts and honestly talk radio and up to a point Fox News, this country would be over because there would be no opposition to any of it.
Speaker 58 There'd be no opposition in the mainstream.
Speaker 19 But we've lost our churches, we've lost our schools, we've lost many of our organizations.
Speaker 28 The Boy Scouts are doing, you know,
Speaker 32 there's a, for equity and justice, there's now a patch for it.
Speaker 36 So we've lost everything.
Speaker 28 But there are a few stories that still teach truth.
Speaker 109 And Star Wars is one of them.
Speaker 2 It's four generations of truth in that story, just the longing for freedom and the tension between wanting order and then wanting to breathe free. That's what this story has always been.
Speaker 2 And it's something that I'm encouraged by because even when we know that, like, the left-wing, right, meddles in popular culture, they meddle in Star Wars too, just like they meddle in everything.
Speaker 2 The message has still kind of always been the same, which is that if you give away too much, you're never going to live free. And there's going to be people who rise together to stop it.
Speaker 2 And I think some of the details, we get really too hung up on those.
Speaker 2 And Star Wars is this story that as everything that we share together starts to crumble around us, I'm not suggesting we replace the Bible, but if you come at somebody with like Bible verses, first thing, they're not going to be listening to you if they're not a person of faith.
Speaker 2 But why don't you talk to them about the idea?
Speaker 75 I think this is a perfect script.
Speaker 73 I mean, this teaches the scriptures, just not in script.
Speaker 16 This is the message.
Speaker 53 Yoda could be Jesus.
Speaker 22 I mean, he could know.
Speaker 36 In many ways, he teaches exactly the same things.
Speaker 2 And that chapter I told you about with like humility and just taking a knee before someone that you need their help.
Speaker 2 The whole chapter ties the Phantom Menace to Matthew 18, the idea that we need to be as children if we are to be true followers of Christ.
Speaker 2 And that requires us to be humble and know that we need help from others.
Speaker 17 The name of the book is How the Force Can Fix the World by Stephen Kent.
Speaker 124 It's available everywhere.
Speaker 42 I want you to hold on because I have one more question for you, but we got to take a quick break.
Speaker 18 Caring about your dog's health and happiness makes you a good dog owner.
Speaker 40 Sometimes being a good dog owner means realizing that your dog isn't getting all the things that he or she needs in the food that you feed them.
Speaker 45 Dry kibble food is that has no nutritional value.
Speaker 17 It's sterilized to sit on the shelf forever.
Speaker 73 Your dogs eat it because they're hungry, but if you want to if you want to feed them something other than really, honestly, Twinkies, how healthy would your kids be if they lived on that?
Speaker 32 You can add the minerals and the vitamins and the probiotics, and all of the things that have been cooked out of this.
Speaker 45 Still feed them the kibble food.
Speaker 18 And I'm telling you, I've seen a huge difference in my dog, Uno.
Speaker 45 You can get a free bag of rough greens right now for your dog to try out.
Speaker 40 Just make sure that they love it.
Speaker 138 If they do eat it and love it as much as Uno does, then order the full bag and get started and watch your dog change over a couple of months.
Speaker 43 Roughgreens.com/slash Beck, R-U-F-F-Greens.com/slash Beck.
Speaker 40 Call them today.
Speaker 73 We have Stephen Kent in How the Force Can Fix the World.
Speaker 68 I'd love to have you back.
Speaker 42 You're really a fascinating guy.
Speaker 56 Have you seen Dune?
Speaker 2 I have seen Dune, and I finished the book for the first time the week before I went and saw it in theaters.
Speaker 58 And did you have you seen Foundation yet?
Speaker 2 I have not seen Foundation. Looks amazing, and I subscribe to Apple TV just to watch it.
Speaker 107 Okay, so
Speaker 77 I've seen both of these now, and obviously Star Wars.
Speaker 61 I think Dune makes Star Wars look like a cartoon.
Speaker 108 Right, right.
Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, it's I mean, it's a very mature, long-form story in a very different kind of way.
Speaker 2 It's the difference between watching Game of Thrones, I don't know, in an animated series in the Middle Ages.
Speaker 102 Right.
Speaker 36 And then I think Foundation is even better.
Speaker 32 I mean, Foundation is Isaac Asimov.
Speaker 155 So you're, I mean, I think it's the root, root, the first real sci-fi book, isn't it?
Speaker 2
Yeah, absolutely. It has the, it has the deepest history, and it stars that guy who plays Lane Price from Mad Men.
So I've been dying to watch it.
Speaker 127 It is, it's, it's amazing how the through lines, like I said earlier, how do these people not see that they are making the movie and they're the bad guys in real life?
Speaker 2 What's the premise of Foundation, if you could enlighten me?
Speaker 91 Really?
Speaker 127 as the theme music comes up,
Speaker 7 it's that deep hot.
Speaker 30 It is, it is
Speaker 137 quite a quite amazing.
Speaker 65 Thank you so much, Stephen, for being here.
Speaker 17 The name of the book is How the Force Can Fix the World.
Speaker 89 See you tomorrow.
