migraine is 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.
Botox, onobotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they start.
It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month.
It prevents on average eight to nine headache days a month versus six to seven for placebo.
Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.
Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.
Alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.
Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.
Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck, and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache.
Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.
Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.
Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.
Why wait?
Ask your doctor, visit BotoxchronicMigraine.com, or call 1-800-44-BOTOX to learn more.
Hey, welcome to the Monday podcast.
Why does the Biden administration want to track your bank account?
We start there also with a look at inflation and what is coming.
Then
the president says the real problem with the slowdown is trucks.
There's just not enough truckers.
Well, we talked to the Independent Truckers Association, and they say that's not true.
They explain the problem
with the supply chain.
Also,
we talked to two people that work at 3M.
There was a
protest today at 3M.
People are saying, I am not going to get the vaccine.
In fact, one guy on the phone with us from 3M says, I already got the vaccine, but I'm standing with people saying they shouldn't ever have to take it against their will.
But the CDC has announced there's going to be a new education and
psychiatric counseling coming, a new plan that they have yet to unveil that will help all of us.
And finally, on today's program,
Alcoholics Will Save America,
the reason why AA should be applied to today's problems in America and the White House's national strategy on gender equity and equality and my truth truth
that follows.
You're listening to the best of the Blenbeck program.
All right, so I want to talk to you about that choice.
First of all, remember,
if you believe Barack Obama,
I am just doing all these things to hype my ratings.
I'm telling you, there is nothing that I would like to do less
than this, to tell you the truth and to tell you what is coming your way.
It is
really important
that you change your
status as somebody who is casually watching the news to somebody who is really paying attention and preparing for what is coming.
Today is a really important show that if you have the time, listen to all of it today.
There is so much information.
I could go for seven hours today.
I've left so much off the table.
I want to start with how the middle class is being helped by Joe Biden.
The World Bank sees, quote, significant inflation risk from high energy prices.
Energy prices are expected to inch up next year after surging more than 80%
this year.
They're expecting it to go higher, fueling significant near-term risks to global inflation.
So it has gone up 80%.
Why?
Well, they say that it is a breakdown of the
system of importing all of the oil.
So any country that is importing oil is facing 80%
increase in the price of oil and more
next year.
Well, let me just say we weren't importing any oil.
We were exporting
as of December
of this last year.
In January, Joe Biden stopped all of that.
So now we are importing oil.
So the middle-class family, if you are struggling just to count your pennies at the gas station, there is only one place to put that blame, and that is on Joe Biden and his administration.
His administration wants to get us off of fossil fuels, so they are stopping all production of fossil fuels here in America and making us energy dependent in the Middle East.
So, you have inflation, but don't worry.
They say that it's not going to be horrible.
I mean, after all, the giant corporations didn't blink on Friday.
Jerome Powell, who runs the Fed,
speaking at a Bank for International Settlements conference, he said the supply chain bottlenecks have caused the recent wave of inflation are likely to
last well into the next year.
He said he could raise interest rates two times next year in an effort to tame pricing pressures.
Even with that said,
the Dow,
the stock market, hit an all-time high on Friday with them saying the breakdown
of the supply chain
and
the problem with inflation and we're going to raise interest rates twice next year, somehow or another, the giant corporations
just did really well.
This is where you come in.
You must pay attention.
Do not believe.
There is no sanity anymore
in the market.
It is not connected to reality at all.
By the way,
China is now on the brink of absolute chaos.
They are where we were in 2008, except their problem is much worse than it was in 2008 for us.
If they don't bail their people out,
There's going to be revolutions in China.
If they just let it go,
they're going to have a real breakdown of their system it is exactly what we went through in 2008 do you think that's going to make your life
better or worse do you think that your products that you go out and buy are going to be more plentiful or less plentiful
When we have to develop yet another booster shot, are we doing it or are we waiting for China to do it?
When they say build back better, they are not building anything that is actually helping the stability and the long-term future for the United States of America.
They are destroying our ability to be independent, energy-wise, independent, medically speaking.
All our vaccines and everything else, 99% of them are made over in China.
Why aren't we investing in that?
If we want to invest in building our country,
okay,
then why are we investing in equity programs?
This is a destruction of our country, and it is coming.
The Federal Reserve has now even said that the vaccine mandates are hurting employment numbers.
Let me give you the CDC director.
Do we have this?
We have this cut here
from the CDC director.
Yeah, cut two, please.
We have seen that these mandates are getting more and more people vaccinated.
Here's what we know.
The most disruptive thing that you can do to a workforce is to have a COVID outbreak in that workforce.
That will most definitely not only send people home, but it will send people to the hospital and some may pass.
What we know from the police workforce is that there have been more deaths from the coronavirus over the last year and a half than all other causes of death for that workforce combined.
So we believe it is very important to get these people vaccinated.
There is a plan, should these people not want to be vaccinated, towards education and counseling to get people the information they need so that they are feeling comfortable in getting away from that.
Stop for just a second.
So now, if you decide you don't want the vaccine, now the government will force you into counseling, which means you now are a psychiatric patient.
There is something psychologically wrong with you.
So they will provide psychiatric counseling for your mental health.
Ah, gee, I, man, I'm a little uncomfortable.
But that's not all.
They will also educate you.
I like to call it re-education because that's exactly what it is.
There is a plan.
Is there anybody in the media asking to see that plan today?
By the way, they also said that the definition of vaccines or fully vaccinated is going to change because there are more booster shots along the way.
So if you believe that vaccine mandates are good,
they're never going to stop.
If you want a vaccine passport, you will constantly be putting into your body exactly what the federal government says you must do.
And this is all this is all backed up by Anthony Fauci.
Hmm.
He seems to be a good guy.
We're going to get into him next hour.
I'm going to take a one-minute break, and then I'm going to come back to you and talk to you about your economy and
why the federal government is, no matter what anybody says, the most pushback on anything in the
Build Back Better bill
is the $600 or $10,000 SPY limit for the IRS.
It's important that you and your friends understand why that is happening because they are strengthening it.
They just did in a memo on Friday from the White House.
We'll explain next.
This is the best of the Glen Beck program.
Joining me now are two
people
that have a story to tell about something that I believe is happening today.
Aaron Gonzalez and Michael Frazier are joining us.
Aaron is a manufacturing engineer at the 3M plant in Columbia, Missouri.
And Michael Frazier is a production operator at 3M and also a small business owner.
We welcome both of you to the program.
One other thing that I should mention: Aaron, you are not vaccinated.
Correct?
Yes,
that is correct, Glenn.
And Michael, you are vaccinated.
Yes, Glenn, I am vaccinated.
Okay.
Thank you for coming on the program.
Thank you for being brave enough to use your name and tell us the story that you're about to tell.
Who wants to start?
Aaron can start.
Yeah,
Glenn, so
something unthinkable has happened.
The federal government is calling us federal contractors and has supposedly mandated that 3M
require us to be vaccinated by December 8th.
If we don't get an exemption, which is confusing, we will be terminated.
There's so many questions.
There's so little time.
It's just
putting a lot of stress on all of us.
I don't understand
how this is happening.
Can you tell me and the audience, just so we, I mean, everybody's heard of 3M, but what is it that you
make?
I mean, you make the things that make things, correct?
Yeah, so 3M is a huge company.
We make post-it notes, scotch tape, a lot of things that go into things.
We make electrical things.
In our plant, we make some medical devices and a drug like Lippmann stethoscopes.
We just make so many things.
But we're a really big company, yeah.
Okay.
And so the federal government says that 3M is a contractor and 3M has decided they don't want to lose their business with the federal government.
And so they are
enforcing a vaccine mandate that doesn't really even exist yet.
And are they giving you any outs on
the vaccine mandate?
Yeah, there's the medical exemption and the religious exemption.
Now, I've heard they're kind of hard to come by, so I'm really leery of how they're going to review these and what they're going to do.
And,
you know, I don't understand how a contract between my company and the federal government overrides my rights to my body.
If I don't feel safe in something, I shouldn't have this choice between the jab or my job.
So,
Michael, why are you part of this?
Because you're vaccinated.
I'm part of this because I made the personal choice to get vaccinated
back in a time when the vaccination was being sold as something different than what it actually came to be.
My fight in this is I'm not interested in continuous boosters.
I'm fearful.
I have three daughters that are elementary and intermediate school age.
And I'm fearful that...
from what I see in the in the news that that's who they're targeting next.
So what are you guys going to do about it?
Our plant is
a lot of good, hard-working folks on our plant are out on the sidewalk along the road now protesting this today.
And so there is a strike, if you will.
It's a protest.
It's a protest.
And they're not, what's the difference between a strike and a protest?
There's some verbiage, I believe, federally, where we have protection to protest for
the day
without the recourse okay
and what uh are the hopes i mean how many people i know in missouri 3m employs what about 500 people
yeah so how many people
go ahead yeah in our plant we have about 470 but there's two other facilities as well that are pretty big also so probably around 1500 people total in missouri okay and how many people do you expect to be on the sidewalk protesting today
so today there were 40 people.
There is a 3M-wide, U.S.-wide, or 3M
call-in protest today, and we don't have numbers because it's so hard to estimate this.
And there's so many facilities.
There's over 22 locations participating: people that are sales rep, people at corporate.
We were estimating maybe between 1,000 to 2,000 people, but it's really hard to know.
This thing has a life of its own.
And so, what, I mean, you have only one day you can do this?
It's a little confusing, Glenn, but at some point, a walkout protest can become a strike if it's done too often or for too long, and it's confusing.
Okay.
So what are you hoping will be accomplished today?
A couple of things.
One, first and foremost, we got to call.
all the Americans that are against forced vaccination to stand up because it's not going to stop with me here as a federal contractor.
It's coming for everybody.
They're going for everybody that's in companies with 100 or more people.
And they're not going to stop there.
In California, they've already mandated it for the kids.
So we got to stand up now before it keeps going.
They've already got the nurses.
They're already doing the military.
They just keep going.
We got to come together.
That's my number one goal: to get people to start coming together and stand up against this because it's not right.
Michael?
Yes.
Your goal?
My goal is that everyone's right to choose this
is left intact.
And my daughters aren't forced to become part of an experiment.
You guys, from what I understand,
you have had a couple of co-workers that have had problems with the vaccine?
Yes, that is correct.
As I've been talking to people, it just shocked me.
You know, in our plant, maybe 50 to 60% of the people are vaccinated.
And just out of that small number, there's been
four or five significant long-lasting injuries.
One lady had a heart attack from the vaccine,
and they're still wanting us to take this.
How do you know it was from the vaccine?
Well, this lady told me that her doctor told her it was the day after her second vaccine.
The doctor said the vaccine caused it.
So is this, when you're looking at this,
I mean, I'm heartened to see somebody who is vaccinated standing with somebody who is unvaccinated because it's tearing our country apart.
Half of our country is being trained to be either afraid of the other half or to demonize the other half.
And that is terrifying to me.
So it is,
it's great to see that both vaccinated and unvaccinated are part of this.
Yes,
there's a lot of vaccinated people on that line today standing with us.
Yeah, I agree, Glenn.
Something I am so worried about is our President Biden.
He is purposely using words
like we're murdering people.
This is a persecution.
It's just unheard of in our country.
You know, I'm unvaccinated, but I don't want to hurt anybody.
I'm not a murderer.
I've never hurt anybody.
If I get some symptoms, I'm going to quarantine.
I don't want to hurt people.
And I just don't understand it because if you are vaccinated now, it turns out you can also spread COVID.
I'm unvaccinated.
I could also spread COVID.
So there doesn't need to be hate between each other.
We need to come together.
Real leaders don't divide us and persecute their citizens.
Let me play a piece of audio that came out this weekend from the head of the CDC.
And Michael, I'd like you to start.
Tell me your thoughts on this, again, from the head of the CDC this weekend.
We have seen that these mandates are getting more and more people vaccinated.
Here's what we know: the most disruptive thing that you can do to a workforce is to have a COVID outbreak in that workforce.
That will most definitely not only send people home, but it will send people to the hospital, and some may pass.
What we know from the police workforce is that there have been more deaths from the coronavirus over the last year and a half than all other causes of death for that workforce combined.
So we believe it is very important to get these people vaccinated.
There is a plan, should these people not want to be vaccinated, towards education and counseling to get people the information they need so that they are feeling comfortable in getting vaccinated.
Michael, your thoughts on a plan to educate and counsel those who don't want to get the vaccine?
It's no different than
what the 3M Center in St.
Paul has become a liberal indoctrination center where
that clip said they're going to shove it down our throats until we comply.
That's what I heard.
Aaron?
Yeah.
It sounds a lot like re-education camps potentially.
I'm capable of
researching things.
I have doctors.
We can make our decision.
You know, I want to make the right decision.
What they're talking about, COVID being the biggest threat to a workforce, we've gone a year and a half, almost two years with this.
It hasn't disrupted us at all.
We got 460 people.
It did not disrupt our workplace.
I don't know what they're talking about.
Yeah, I worked more overtime in the past year and a half than I have my entire time at 3M in over 10 years.
Is it a liberal and conservative divide?
I don't think so, Gwen, because I've talked to several liberals.
One person, their favorite
person is Rachel Maddow.
She was saying she agrees with this.
The mandate is wrong.
It's our body, our choice.
And they're now learning, like, they're not comfortable with the boosters because they're learning that this thing is sketch.
So is today the last day that there would be anything going on at 3M?
Can you even say?
I'm not sure what we can say.
I will just say that a lot of people are very distraught, and some people are sick, some people have vacation,
and
some people may continue to be sick and continue to take vacation over this.
And
are you guys afraid of ramifications for being on the air and identifying yourself?
Absolutely.
Retaliation,
just something that we say we don't do.
It's definitely on my mind.
Yeah, of course.
Of course, I'm worried.
You know, I got two kids and a wife, and
the worst case would be if somebody gets mad at us and goes after them.
This is bigger than my job.
It's bigger than this company.
So I'm afraid, but I also know that
this is so important.
We got to do something.
You two are remarkable, and I'd like you to stay in touch with me.
If there is any retaliation at all, you make sure that you call, I mean, whoever the local authorities are first, but you call us
and let us know.
Is there anything that the millions of people that are listening right now can do in support?
Stand up for what you believe in.
Yeah, I think everyone's going to be able to do that.
Stand up.
Call your local officials, your state officials,
your senators, your congressmen.
Let them know where you stand.
Talk to your friends.
If you can, walk out at your place of work.
Stand together.
We can be strong together.
God bless you both.
Aaron Gonzalez and Michael Frazier, both with 3M,
part of a protest today against the vaccine mandates.
Back in a minute.
You're listening to the best of the Glendeck program.
Wow, so costumes,
huh?
Costumes
that are targeted to boys place heavy emphasis on superheroes and action figures.
And they convey the messages that boys should be scary and gruesome.
Huh, really?
Because superheroes and action figures are gruesome.
That is weird.
But be careful of gender stereotypes.
That's according to the ADL.
Okay, why are they doing that?
Well, because the whole world is going to conform.
The is, will you?
I want you to understand history doesn't just repeat itself.
History is repeating itself.
And you are at the beginning now of something extraordinarily dangerous.
And I will tell you that we will make the Germans look like rookies in the end if we allow this to happen.
The whole world is on the edge.
China is on the edge of economic disaster.
If they go down, just the supply line problem that we have will be enough to knock us flat.
And there will be somebody there who says, I can rebuild it better.
I can build back better.
This is the Biden-Harris administration.
This weekend, on Friday,
If you really want to bury something, you release it on Friday afternoon.
Last Friday, they talked about ESGs and the new banking system.
This time they issued the first ever national gender strategy to advance the full participation of all people, including women and girls, in the United States and the world.
Wow.
Now you would think they wouldn't want this buried, right?
Why would you announce something, the first ever national gender strategy?
Now, it does include women and girls.
I don't think we need to stereotype.
I mean, exactly, how do you define women and girls?
I'd like
the Biden-Harris administration to answer that before we go on, but they won't.
Here it is.
President Biden and Vice President Harris believe that advancing gender equity and equality is fundamental to every individual's economic security, safety, health, and ability to exercise their most basic rights.
It is also essential to economic growth and development, democracy and political stability, and to the security of nations across the globe.
Ensuring that all people, regardless of gender, have the opportunity to realize their full potential is therefore both a moral and strategic imperative.
Wow, that sounds great, doesn't it?
Yet, no country in the world has achieved gender equality, and we are at an inflection point.
Oh my gosh, build back better.
The COVID-19 pandemic has fueled a health crisis, an economic crisis, and a caregiving crisis that have magnified the challenges that women and girls, especially women and girls of color, have long faced.
You know, like being fired because you won't take the vaccine, ladies.
You lady nurses, you gotta go.
It has exacerbated a shadow pandemic of gender-based violence in the United States and around the world.
These overlapping crises have underscored that far too long the status quo have left too many people behind.
The moment demands that we build back better.
It requires that we acknowledge and and address long-standing gender discrimination and the systematic barriers to full participation that have held back women and girls.
It requires that we bring the talent and potential of all people to bear to face the challenges of our time.
That's why the Biden-Harris administration established the White House Gender Policy Council, charged with leading the development of the first ever national strategy on gender equity, which sets forth an aspirational vision and comprehensive agenda to advance gender equity and equality in domestic and foreign policy, and demonstrates that families, communities, and nations around the world stand to benefit.
The strategy identifies 10 interconnected priorities.
So, if you believe in protecting women,
you have to believe in all of these things because they're all connected and they're all a priority.
One, economic security.
Two, gender-based violence.
Three, health.
Four, education.
Five, justice and immigration.
Six, human rights and equality under the law.
Seven, security and humanitarian relief.
Eight, climate change.
Nine, science and technology.
Ten, Democracy, participation, and leadership.
These priorities are all linked and must be tackled in concert.
The strategy also adopts an intersectional approach that considers the barriers and challenges faced by those who experience intersecting and compounding forms of discrimination related to gender, race, and other factors, including sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, disability, age, and socioeconomic status.
This includes the addressing of discrimination and bias faced by black, Latino, Indigenous, Native American people, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and other people of color.
Do you see where we're headed here?
Do you see where we're headed?
Any protected group is going to now get
special privileges
under the economy to make sure that we are addressing, let's say, climate change in the Aleutians because the Aleutians have Pacific Islanders.
And they've always been downtrod.
So we need to really
work on climate change there
and maybe not so much in your white town.
Let me tell you something.
If you think that these people actually care,
actually care about women,
let me remind you of Loudoun County, Virginia.
where they tore a father apart and made him look like a madman terrorist because he was trying to defend his daughter who was raped
and the reason why they didn't want to bring up the rape is because it's from a gender fluid individual that was wearing a skirt who is a boy who went into the girl's bathroom to rape her
They don't care about women.
If they did, I didn't see any of them on the ground in Afghanistan.
They don't care about people who are actually being persecuted because of their sexual orientation.
How do I know that?
I didn't see them on the ground saving homosexuals in Afghanistan or in Syria or in Iraq.
We did.
Where were you?
They also also want to build on the historic Affordable Care Act and continue to expand and improve health care globally.
Defend the constitutional right to safe and legal abortion in the United States.
And address the pernicious effects of health inequity, including by addressing the maternal
mortality crisis in the United States.
They've got all kinds of things here that are going to make sure
that they have through the American Rescue Plan and through ESGs and through the government and their public-private partnerships, public-private partnerships
to inform and educate and then make sure it's executed.
To inform our ongoing and future efforts to advance gender equity at home and abroad.
The strategy calls for continued accountability, consultation, and engagement as we work towards our collective vision for gender equity at home and abroad.
Its implementation will guide strategic planning and budgeting, policy and program development, measurement and data, and management and training.
We look forward to partnering with Congress, local, state, tribal, territorial governments, civil society, the private sector, foreign governments, and multilateral institutions to drive progress towards the objective outlined in this strategy.
I didn't have enough time to go through all of the objectives in the strategy,
but you can read it yourself at whitehouse.gov.
It again was released last Friday, late afternoon.
I want to share with you the fact
that the family is under attack.
That the sacredness of being a man and the sacredness of being a woman is under attack.
And it's under attack to do one thing, destroy the family.
That's it.
This is the most evil plan I have ever encountered to destroy the family.
family.
Some organizations, like BLM, have that in their manifesto to destroy the family.
This is now going to be implemented by the federal government through our banking systems and ESG and through everything
else.
It will touch every aspect of your life.
For a limited time at McDonald's, get a Big Mac extra-value meal for $8.
That means two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun, and medium fries, and a drink.
We may need to change that jingle.
Prices and participation may vary.
