Speaker 6 Let me tell you about

Speaker 7 rough greens.

Speaker 9 If you're a dog owner, you know that taking care of your pet means more than just giving him food and water.

Speaker 13 The dog

Speaker 14 is a part of our family, all of our families.

Speaker 18 If you have a dog, if you have a cat, I mean, that's a totally different thing.

Speaker 14 But if you have a dog, it's a member of the family.

Speaker 22 Pickiest eater in the world, Uno was,

Speaker 26 and had to stand there and practically hand-feed him.

Speaker 28 Now he goes crazy for it.

Speaker 27 All I do is put this supplement on top of the food that we were already feeding him.

Speaker 32 It's full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and antioxidants, all the nutrients your dog is missing out on.

Speaker 36 You put it on top, and they love it, and they change.

Speaker 33 My dog is so active now, and he's a 10-year-old German Shepherd.

Speaker 9 The program begins in just a couple of seconds.

Speaker 43 Standby.

Speaker 44 Videos.

Speaker 44 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 44 This

Speaker 44 is

Speaker 44 the Glenback program.

Speaker 45 Alrighty, kids.

Speaker 46 This is good news.

Speaker 22 Australia's leading the way.

Speaker 21 Here is the Deputy Premier of New South Wales on vaccines.

Speaker 49 The message to the unvaccinated is that you will not achieve any further freedom unless you get vaccinated. And a further and final message to regional New South Wales.

Speaker 49 There are parts of regional New South Wales that are currently open.

Speaker 49 The 70% roadmap does apply to the whole state. So there will be individuals in regional and rural New South Wales who choose not to be vaccinated, who will lose their freedoms on the 11th of October.

Speaker 49 So my message to everybody in regional and rural New South Wales is to continue to get vaccinated.

Speaker 51 Yeah, there's new freedoms coming for those who are vaccinated, new freedoms.

Speaker 40 But if you're not vaccinated, you lose your freedom, saith the Lord.

Speaker 55 Wow.

Speaker 56 It's not like we're getting militant about things here at all.

Speaker 52 Oh, speaking of that,

Speaker 40 we should probably also listen to the New Yorker because they've got a new idea.

Speaker 9 Should we, for the sake of the planet,

Speaker 57 start

Speaker 13 acting violently?

Speaker 35 I mean

Speaker 22 let's be honest, it is about the planet and there are some people who just won't listen.

Speaker 60 And we're the scary ones.

Speaker 37 America, time to wake up. Listen to the New Yorker in 60 seconds.

Speaker 44 The Glenn Beck Park.

Speaker 14 Let me tell you about Car Car Shield.

Speaker 40 You're at point A.

Speaker 46 Why in the world are you in such a rush to get to point B?

Speaker 62 Just stick around point A.

Speaker 29 You got all your stuff.

Speaker 51 You don't even have to put on your pants.

Speaker 63 It's a win-win.

Speaker 64 Okay.

Speaker 65 Let's say you have to go out.

Speaker 64 I mean, there's.

Speaker 66 There's no way to talk yourself into you don't really need a car.

Speaker 67 I mean, I guess, Uber.

Speaker 69 But if you're an Uber driver, what happens when your car breaks down, huh?

Speaker 10 If it's out of warranty, if it's expired, you're going to be spending a lot of money to get from point A to point B.

Speaker 51 Kind of an important thing.

Speaker 38 For covered repairs, Car Shield is absolutely the best.

Speaker 75 They take care of your repair with your choice of mechanic.

Speaker 20 They get your roadside assistance and a rental car.

Speaker 28 It's a breeze.

Speaker 29 It'll save you thousands of dollars.

Speaker 27 It's a win-win.

Speaker 22 They'll help you get back on track when you're in a pinch and you're not on the hook to pay thousands of dollars.

Speaker 80 right

Speaker 81 yeah

Speaker 3 all right so

Speaker 30 you're gonna lose your freedom if you are in Australia if you don't get vaccinated you're gonna lose your freedom that's great for Australia here's the here's the problem in America we have this little thing called the Declaration of Independence and governments are instituted among men to protect those freedoms.

Speaker 40 And when a government becomes hostile to those freedoms, it is the people's right and it is their duty to throw off the chains of that and create a new government that is not hostile to those freedoms.

Speaker 46 So in other words, you can't break away because you want to have slavery.

Speaker 33 But I think it's pretty clear you can break away if you want to just live by the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence because the old government started forgetting about the whole freedom thing.

Speaker 62 Well, I hate to even say that because people are saying, He's advocating violence,

Speaker 6 he's saying we should go into a civil war, which I'm not saying at all.

Speaker 65 Oh my gosh, these people on the right, they're so dangerous.

Speaker 14 I know.

Speaker 85 Let's do something.

Speaker 72 Let's do something safe, shall we?

Speaker 7 Let's just read The New Yorker and listen to their podcast because they talk about books and things like that.

Speaker 60 And they had Andreas Maum on, who is really great.

Speaker 11 I just want you to listen.

Speaker 9 Here's cut one.

Speaker 5 Andreas Maum is a professor at Lund University in Sweden.

Speaker 5 He studies the relationship between climate change and capitalism. And he advocates for far more drastic action than we've seen so far.

Speaker 5 His recent book, How to Blow Up a Pipeline,

Speaker 5 is a bit more nuanced than the title suggests, but at its core,

Speaker 5 he really does want environmental activists to rethink their commitment to nonviolence and embrace tactics of sabotage.

Speaker 85 Stop just a second.

Speaker 6 Let me get this straight.

Speaker 90 So, Stu, I believe we have to discuss this like this. I believe when he says it's more nuanced than the title

Speaker 89 really kind of leads you to believe, how to blow up a pipeline, it doesn't sound like it really does,

Speaker 65 that it is more nuanced, because he then just went and said,

Speaker 92 but it's more nuanced than the title would seem,

Speaker 94 but he really does want people to think about

Speaker 21 dumping the nonviolence thing.

Speaker 58 Well, Glenn, the nuance that's associated with the title, How to Blow Up a Pipeline, just, of course, indicates that there are far more things that you can blow up.

Speaker 97 Oh, not just a pipeline that you can't do.

Speaker 98 You can blow up a pipeline, thank you.

Speaker 89 A tanker ship, chip.

Speaker 95 I can see things more clearly now that you speak like this. You could blow up a bunch of schoolchildren who exhale CO2.

Speaker 58 All these things are options

Speaker 89 for the future of environmental.

Speaker 95 Thank you very much. Back to the podcast.

Speaker 5 I spoke with Andreas' mom last week.

Speaker 5 Andreas, you've been a climate activist now for a long time. And in 2007, you were part of a Swedish group that started deflating the tires on SUVs.
Tell me about that.

Speaker 5 What was the impulse and how did it work?

Speaker 99 Yeah, so what we did was we went through rich neighborhoods and picked out SUVs.

Speaker 99 This was in the early career of SUVs when they were still remarkable on streets, before they were completely ubiquitous.

Speaker 99 And it's very easy to deflate the tires of a car you just unscrew the valve and you insert a little gravel or a piece of stone or something like that and you

Speaker 99 screw the the valve back on and then the air will be out of the tire in a couple of hours so this was no property destruction it didn't damage anything

Speaker 99 it it created an inconvenience for the owners of SUVs

Speaker 5 okay all right all right so this began his journey towards civil disobedience cut to what was the moment that you realized that your next book would have to be about targeted sabotage and why?

Speaker 99 That moment was very much the summer of 2018, which was unprecedented in Northern Europe for the wildfires and the drought and the heat wave.

Speaker 99 And during that summer, I felt panic and desperation, as a lot of people did. This was the summer that led Giriata Turnbari to start her later very famous school strike movement.

Speaker 99 And that sort of changed the picture because in 2019, all the way up to the outbreak of the pandemic, the climate movement in the global north reached its zenith of mobilization, really its peak of popular force out on the streets.

Speaker 99 So the book

Speaker 99 became a product of the moment of 2019, but it's also a call for escalation, a call for the movement to

Speaker 99 diversify its tactics and move away from

Speaker 99 an exclusive focus on polite,

Speaker 99 gentle, and perfectly peaceful civil disobedience.

Speaker 90 Right. Okay.

Speaker 80 So here's the left now on in the New Yorker and on the podcast talking about how we, you know, it's not so bad to put rocks into people's airbag, air valves with graval,

Speaker 98 otherwise known as gravel,

Speaker 92 and let the air out.

Speaker 90 It's an inconvenience, sure, but it doesn't do any harm. But then, now we really see that we really have to go away from non-violence because it's really not working.

Speaker 90 So here he is on blowing up a pipeline.

Speaker 5 What actions are you recommending for the movement?

Speaker 99 Well, I am recommending that the movement

Speaker 99 continues with mass action and civil disobedience, but also opens up for property destruction. So I'm not saying we should stop strikes or

Speaker 99 square occupations or demonstrations of the usual kind. I'm all in favor of that.

Speaker 99 But I do think we need to step up because so little has changed and so many investments are still being poured into new fossil fuel projects.

Speaker 99 So I am in favor of destroying machines, property, not harming people. That's a very

Speaker 99 important distinction there.

Speaker 3 Very important.

Speaker 99 And I think property can be destroyed in all manner of ways or it can be neutralized in a a very gentle fashion, as when we defated the SUVs, or in a more spectacular fashion, as in potentially blowing up a pipeline that's under construction.

Speaker 99 That's something that people have done.

Speaker 81 So you are recommending blowing up a pipeline.

Speaker 5 You use the phrase intelligent sabotage.

Speaker 5 What does intelligence sabotage look like in this context?

Speaker 99 Well, let me give you a very concrete example.

Speaker 99 Right now, Total, the largest single private company headquartered in France, is constructing what will be the world's longest heated oil pipeline in Uganda and Tanzania, and displacing in that process about 100,000 farmers, all for the sake of carrying even more oil to the world market to pour fuel on the global fire.

Speaker 99 If people in that region were to attack the construction equipment, blow up the pipeline before it's completed, I would be all in favor of that. I don't see how that property damage could be

Speaker 99 considered morally illegitimate, given what we know of the consequences of such a project.

Speaker 90 So the ends justify the means, is what he's saying here. Remember, you are the dangerous one.
We're just a bunch of journalists at the New Yorker that are just exploring different ideas.

Speaker 90 Today's idea, blowing things up and destroying property.

Speaker 98 Very, very, very different than killing people, of course.

Speaker 98 You know,

Speaker 90 nobody was killed in the Capitol.

Speaker 89 Well, some one person was killed, but that was by a police officer.

Speaker 95 But police officers, in this case, are all good and should never be questioned.

Speaker 90 But the property was destroyed there in the Capitol, and that is completely different than blowing up a pipeline.

Speaker 80 And Glenn, I will note...

Speaker 58 for the listeners that machines don't run on their own. The people who show up to work at these facilities are part of the machinery.

Speaker 80 They

Speaker 89 are

Speaker 58 basically

Speaker 58 parts of the machine. And if they are parts of the machine, they also

Speaker 62 destroy panics.

Speaker 17 And that sounds like a machine to me, quite honestly.

Speaker 89 Yeah.

Speaker 58 Working on machines. If they are not there, then these environmental cataclysms will not occur.
So obviously killing people who work for these companies

Speaker 58 at the site. And honestly, those people wouldn't show up if they were not paid.
So the executives of the company

Speaker 57 are also fair targets. And to be able to

Speaker 81 do that, maybe the banks.

Speaker 84 Well, they fund the banks.

Speaker 58 Anyone who works at a bank, I think would fund Wall Street.

Speaker 45 Wall Street would be a good target.

Speaker 12 Any shareholder of a company like this.

Speaker 110 Absolutely.

Speaker 58 What about the companies that provide electricity and water to the banks, to these facilities?

Speaker 112 They are basically guilty.

Speaker 113 Yeah,

Speaker 95 they're giving aid and comfort to an enemy.

Speaker 55 What if we killed all people other than us?

Speaker 58 Well, I

Speaker 58 don't

Speaker 110 know.

Speaker 58 We just

Speaker 43 written out a plan.

Speaker 18 I've had, yeah, oh, yeah, we've had a plan for how to eliminate people for a long time.

Speaker 59 Oh, wow.

Speaker 117 I'm glad you brought this up because, oh, thank goodness.

Speaker 89 I've been carrying this around for so long.

Speaker 98 And, you know, we all know: wink, wink, nod, nod, we're not going to kill people.

Speaker 80 Oh, my.

Speaker 91 Oh, that's rich.

Speaker 105 No, it's not rich. Rich, bad.

Speaker 110 Oh, I'm sorry.

Speaker 57 Rich is very, very bad.

Speaker 50 Unless we're the ones that are rich, then it's really, really

Speaker 80 good.

Speaker 3 You know what I mean?

Speaker 105 Here's cut four.

Speaker 5 And yet climate activist groups like 350.org and Extinction Rebellion have made clear that nonviolence is central to their approach. Do you think that's been a mistake or a tactical error?

Speaker 99 Yeah, so I have nothing against the tactics employed by these groups. I have very often participated in them myself.

Speaker 99 What I have a problem with is when Extinction Rebellion and people from 350 and elsewhere say that these are the only things that our movement can ever allow itself to engage in.

Speaker 99 As in, what we are doing is as far as we will ever go, will never escalate beyond this. And I think that idea, this dogmatic commitment to non-violence, is based on a faulty

Speaker 99 history writing or understanding of social struggles over history because it's based on the idea that the only thing that has ever worked for social movements is to stay completely peaceful.

Speaker 99 And that just isn't the case.

Speaker 99 Most social movements that have struggled against overwhelming odds, against enemies that have been very powerful, have diversified and used

Speaker 99 a number of different tactics, ranging into property destruction and confrontation with the police. You saw this during

Speaker 99 the uprising after the murder of George Floyd, where there was tremendous property destruction and conquering and burning down police stations in Minneapolis and things like that.

Speaker 99 That was an integral part of an uprising that brought

Speaker 99 millions of people into the streets of the U.S. than any other in American history.

Speaker 118 Wow, that is amazing.

Speaker 119 It's weird that the left seems to know that.

Speaker 81 But wait, I

Speaker 95 was told

Speaker 98 that the gorilla was largely non-violent.

Speaker 64 Largely non-violent.

Speaker 58 Almost, I don't think there was any

Speaker 120 violence.

Speaker 73 What I saw was people that were committed to a cause.

Speaker 98 By the way,

Speaker 92 the FCC needs to investigate its own history of racism and examine how its policy choices and actions have harmed black people and other communities of color.

Speaker 11 Now,

Speaker 119 this is coming from a left-wing group that is funded by the Center for American Progress and George Soros's Open Society Foundations.

Speaker 18 They're wonderful. They're called the Free Press.
You might remember them.

Speaker 88 But they said, what do we have to do?

Speaker 69 Do we have to,

Speaker 95 how many, are we going to have to just shoot Republicans to reclaim our democracy?

Speaker 92 Now, you might think that that's violent,

Speaker 18 but it's not being covered in the press at all, even though that's a letter they wrote to the FCC. Are we going to have to shoot Republicans to reclaim our democracy?

Speaker 98 That is really not so important, okay?

Speaker 90 Because they have a reason to do that.

Speaker 88 Things are really, really tough.

Speaker 92 And, you know, they're not just, they're not just saying, let's shoot Republicans.

Speaker 90 They're saying we have to reshape the media. And that is so important.

Speaker 90 And if we can't get people to move, then maybe we should shoot Republicans.

Speaker 106 And

Speaker 89 it's very nuanced. Very nuanced.

Speaker 80 We have been telling people that they're not allowed to have firearms.

Speaker 58 So how will we be shooting all the Republicans?

Speaker 58 We can have them, right?

Speaker 108 We can have them. Yes,

Speaker 3 we have them, and they can have them.

Speaker 6 That's right, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 70 We're part of the elite.

Speaker 117 I forgot. Yes, okay.

Speaker 57 Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

Speaker 19 Vanessa, she had an experience with Relief Factor.

Speaker 36 She wrote in about it, talking about the pain that was diminishing her way of life.

Speaker 35 She said she was unable to bend over, unable to safely navigate stairs.

Speaker 36 She was basically in extreme pain throughout most of her body.

Speaker 124 And what was worse, her chiropractor told her that there really wasn't anything that he could do for her anymore.

Speaker 9 Thankfully, she heard me talking about Relief Factor, and everything changed. After only a few weeks of taking Relief Factor, Vanessa now can bend over just fine.

Speaker 9 She can walk up and down stairs with no problem.

Speaker 15 She can even pick up her grandchildren.

Speaker 127 She wasn't able to do that for a long, long time.

Speaker 36 Vanessa got her life back by taking Relief Factor.

Speaker 126 I did did too.

Speaker 7 So could you.

Speaker 19 Just give it a try.

Speaker 75 Relief Factor.

Speaker 47 Developed by doctors, about 70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to buy more because it works for them.

Speaker 7 Try the three-week quick start trial pack for only $19.95.

Speaker 7 800-500-8384-relief factor.com.

Speaker 11 10 seconds, station ID.

Speaker 44 Wow.

Speaker 30 And we are the dangerous ones. We

Speaker 104 are

Speaker 30 the dangerous ones.

Speaker 79 By the way, good news, my friends.

Speaker 29 Biden got his booster shot yesterday.

Speaker 55 We were all worried about it, wondering when is he going to get it.

Speaker 35 Cut nine, here he he is getting his booster shot.

Speaker 130 We have plenty, plenty of opportunities to make sure we get

Speaker 130 everyone in the world to play our part. He just played his part in the world, but getting everyone vaccinated.

Speaker 41 Very hairy art.

Speaker 132 How many Americans need to be vaccinated for us to go back to normal? Like, what is the percentage of total vaccinations that have to be deployed?

Speaker 130 Well, I think,

Speaker 108 look,

Speaker 130 I think we get

Speaker 130 the vast majority of what is going on in some of the some industries and some schools,

Speaker 130 97, 98%.

Speaker 108 I think we're awful close.

Speaker 50 97 or 98% before we're close.

Speaker 3 That's a hell of a goal.

Speaker 133 Yeah.

Speaker 76 So is there a stop?

Speaker 115 Is there an issue with that, Stu?

Speaker 34 He's just asking for 97 or 98% of all people to be vaccinated before we could go back to normal.

Speaker 58 When your plan revolves around basically full compliance, usually those plans don't work.

Speaker 58 They don't tend to work.

Speaker 69 Well, they they will.

Speaker 15 People make decisions.

Speaker 50 He's losing his patience.

Speaker 85 He is losing his patience with people.

Speaker 58 Yes, and we have now fully seen 50% of the increases of the last two months of vaccination rates have disappeared since he announced the mandate.

Speaker 58 Half of the gains of the past two months have disappeared since he announced the mandate, which is a really good thing.

Speaker 58 If you're one of those people who are thinking, I'd like to get more people vaccinated, this would be the opposite of the result you'd desire.

Speaker 43 However...

Speaker 87 Are you blaming it on him?

Speaker 58 I don't. You know, I don't know.
Honestly, when it first started happening, I thought maybe it was a weird Labor Day data quirk.

Speaker 58 Like, you know, a lot of people, because there's a couple days there where they didn't turn in really any results from the data

Speaker 58 and the new vaccinations. But no, it's, it's,

Speaker 58 ever since he went on television and said, I'm losing my patience with you. Our patience is running thin, people have stopped going to get vaccinated in large numbers.

Speaker 134 Wow, why do you think that is, Stu?

Speaker 135 I don't know.

Speaker 58 It just seems as if they're acting

Speaker 58 almost like their goal is that

Speaker 58 everyone gets vaccinated except their political enemies. That's that's it's almost like that's what they feel like.

Speaker 68 It's interesting.

Speaker 33 And it's almost like Americans are acting like Americans.

Speaker 38 You're not the boss of me.

Speaker 50 You're not going to tell me what to do.

Speaker 81 Does seem that way a little bit?

Speaker 136 Maybe he's never had kids.

Speaker 98 Oh, no, he has.

Speaker 108 This is the Glenback program.

Speaker 73 So I say maybe he's never had bad kids that act like T.

Speaker 103 Oh, no.

Speaker 55 He has.

Speaker 80 He has. He said one.

Speaker 64 Right now, a senator is just saying, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 127 Listen.

Speaker 98 Invasion of Iraq.

Speaker 80 There he is.

Speaker 100 He's fantastic.

Speaker 37 And this is the beginning of the Senate Armed Service Committee hearing on Afghanistan.

Speaker 129 General Milley is going to be testifying today, and we are going to be covering that.

Speaker 126 He's got some lossy.

Speaker 65 He's got some splendid to do.

Speaker 58 What could he possibly tell us? He's spoken to every author in America that's written a book about the Trump administration. Why does he need it? What else could he possibly say?

Speaker 58 He seems to be the main source

Speaker 58 of every book that's been released in the past year.

Speaker 11 He's incredible.

Speaker 68 He's incredible. He's general, too.

Speaker 58 Like, you'd think this is not the guy who's going to be continually leaking to the media.

Speaker 121 Yeah, he's got to answer for

Speaker 126 the call to China

Speaker 37 and Afghanistan.

Speaker 69 Which has gone very, very well, right, Pat?

Speaker 2 Yes. Oh, Afghanistan's gone perfectly.

Speaker 47 It was

Speaker 58 massively successful.

Speaker 2 It was enormously successful.

Speaker 58 And you couldn't see it now as anything other than a success. Well, I don't know how you'd do it any better.

Speaker 43 You can't. You can't.

Speaker 58 You just can't do it any better.

Speaker 81 Every other war

Speaker 58 has ended this way. Exactly.
Exactly the same way.

Speaker 2 And shame and humiliation.

Speaker 108 Each and every one of them.

Speaker 59 Each and every one of them.

Speaker 58 Usually by the losers,

Speaker 58 not the one with the military firepower.

Speaker 101 Yeah, right. Usually.

Speaker 110 In this case, a little bit of a remix of that situation.

Speaker 112 Well,

Speaker 74 I liked

Speaker 18 Saki over the weekend saying that she was just really tired of Republicans blaming Afghanistan and the border on this administration.

Speaker 57 She was just really tired of it.

Speaker 111 Yeah.

Speaker 58 I'd be tired if I were her, too, because everyone's doing it and she has to answer for it all the time. So I'm sure she is tired of it.

Speaker 50 Problem is, it is their fault.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so that's a problem.

Speaker 89 Wow.

Speaker 55 Wow. Okay.

Speaker 140 You're just going to go there without hearing Millie.

Speaker 63 Let's listen to some more Senator Reed here.

Speaker 116 Man, he's good.

Speaker 81 That's really good.

Speaker 35 You know, the thing about these hearings is

Speaker 112 they just, all the senators, they don't, they're not actually interested in what the person has to say.

Speaker 108 Have you noticed? It's so bad. I hate that.

Speaker 58 I really do hate these hearings because it's all pre-written stuff by these senators who just do a speech.

Speaker 58 And when the person tries to answer the question, they just cut them off to get to their next big moment that I guess is going to raise dollars in their next fundraising email.

Speaker 58 They want to have these like little YouTube moments. Now, occasionally, we get something out of that.
I think we've seen, for example, Rand Paul be very effective with Anthony Fauci and these things.

Speaker 102 It's not without

Speaker 58 entirely worthless, but

Speaker 58 you're going to hear basically the Democrats say, look how bad Trump was. And you're going to see the Republicans give their speeches about

Speaker 58 Millie and how he shouldn't have talked to China. These are both valid, you know, you could argue whether they're valid points or not, right? But they're valid points for their own sides.

Speaker 58 The question is, I want stuff from Millie. I want him to be asked questions.
I want him, like Rand Paul did, specific questions where, you know,

Speaker 58 we're giving, where Fauci answering them gave us something. gave us a better understanding of that situation.

Speaker 91 So drop.

Speaker 3 That really was.

Speaker 58 And that's what we want, right? We want someone who's going to actually ask a question that's going to elicit some sort of response. And the speech itself makes no difference.

Speaker 30 Right.

Speaker 19 And not only elicit a response, but put them on the record one way or another.

Speaker 72 You know, did you make that phone call?

Speaker 126 Yes or no?

Speaker 7 Who did you speak to about it?

Speaker 27 Who is on the phone call?

Speaker 19 Did you ever tell the president about that phone call? Yes or no?

Speaker 2 And we know he made the phone call.

Speaker 27 I know. And

Speaker 70 he's never denied any of this.

Speaker 3 No.

Speaker 75 Well, he can't.

Speaker 2 I mean, we've got him on record. We've got him on, you know, recordings.

Speaker 58 He has responded and said that it wasn't bad, right?

Speaker 93 He said that.

Speaker 119 Of course, he says he didn't do anything bad.

Speaker 57 Right.

Speaker 115 Yeah, he did.

Speaker 86 Yeah, he did. I mean, first of all, this is what they got General Franklin.

Speaker 58 Oh, yeah, you did.

Speaker 133 You should be on there.

Speaker 55 I thought that would be.

Speaker 19 I mean, this is what they got General Flynn on.

Speaker 4 Remember?

Speaker 81 The Logan Act.

Speaker 8 Because he called and said, look, there's a new administration coming in.

Speaker 121 Let's not escalate to the point where we can't ratchet things back down.

Speaker 19 Don't do anything.

Speaker 6 Okay. And he got in trouble for that.

Speaker 81 How dare him do that?

Speaker 14 Well, I personally think that one is okay.

Speaker 27 He's calling on behalf of the incoming president and saying,

Speaker 14 let's take a breath here.

Speaker 27 Just take a breath.

Speaker 40 Don't do anything until we get into office, you know, because we're going to have a different approach.

Speaker 15 I think that was very wise of him to do.

Speaker 58 I mean, that's what they would argue they were doing. That's what Millie would argue he was doing.
He called up and he said, look,

Speaker 135 we know it's not a problem.

Speaker 59 Not on behalf of the now.

Speaker 128 Not on behalf of the president.

Speaker 41 He worked for the president.

Speaker 126 That's the problem. He is

Speaker 85 the

Speaker 77 chief of

Speaker 134 staff, right?

Speaker 58 So it would be okay for the

Speaker 56 blink coming.

Speaker 58 Yeah, blink and students to call up and say, hey, look, things are going to be better in a couple weeks.

Speaker 3 Hold on.

Speaker 43 Correct.

Speaker 101 Not for the guy who is currently the advisor to the president and telling him that I'll call you if anything bad's going to happen and not telling the president he's making that phone call.

Speaker 58 Did you hear Woodward's excuse on this by any chance? No. It's interesting because I read the book, Peril, and it is

Speaker 123 the way

Speaker 58 conservatives and even in the media, I think this whole Millie China thing has been taken is not how it was presented in the book.

Speaker 58 It was presented in the book as a way to to illustrate how bad Trump was. It was not presented in the book as a way to show that Milley was undermining Trump.
Correct.

Speaker 58 It was presented as a way to say, look, Trump was so bad. His general had to call and say, we promise we won't nuke you, China.

Speaker 58 It's a totally different spin. So Woodward is saying, like, no, what we were saying was Trump was

Speaker 58 a national security threat.

Speaker 50 And that's why

Speaker 50 I'm not sure if it's not.

Speaker 58 This guy would agree with you, but that's what he's trying to say, which to me is absurd. I mean, you know, they're just trying.
It's interesting, they thought it would be taken this way by the media.

Speaker 58 And I think even the media at some level has said, you know, this doesn't feel right. You can't just have your generals calling up and doing things that are behind the president's back.

Speaker 58 Now, they've argued since, oh, there's lots of people on this call. And I talked to Esper, and we, we, you know, not everything goes to the president, but I talked to my superiors.

Speaker 58 But I think it's pretty weak reasoning here.

Speaker 2 It's way better when the president himself says to like the president of Russia, hey, after the election, I'm going to have a lot more leeway to do whatever you guys want me to do.

Speaker 2 So just hang on, and then that's transmitted back to Vladimir. It's way better when that happens.

Speaker 58 That's a good point. But the Democrats have this down.

Speaker 28 They've got the treason aspect down to a real science here.

Speaker 105 They do. They do.

Speaker 6 They do. It's great.

Speaker 61 I'm wondering how someone justifies that the last president was out of control, who brought peace,

Speaker 25 and this one

Speaker 48 who is breaking all norms internationally

Speaker 37 in dangerous ways and getting Americans killed, how this one is not somehow or another out of control.

Speaker 58 Yeah,

Speaker 61 it's amazing.

Speaker 2 He can get away with...

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 they still aren't noticing some of the most glaring things about this guy that, I don't know, he's losing his mind.

Speaker 2 There's another little aspect that they might want to pay attention to sometime in the near future because you're going to have to deal with it.

Speaker 120 I'm wondering if to deal with it.

Speaker 79 Did you hear the opening of the show today where we played the audio from the New Yorker about how to blow up?

Speaker 2 Yeah, it sounded like they were interviewing a terrorist.

Speaker 3 No, no, no.

Speaker 50 No, he's an environmentalist.

Speaker 81 I I meant an environmentalist?

Speaker 115 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 29 Terrorists, he just thinks that, you know, because it's so dire, we just have to start blowing up pipelines.

Speaker 58 That's all they're saying.

Speaker 50 That's all they're saying.

Speaker 21 It's very nuanced.

Speaker 37 It's very nuanced.

Speaker 88 And

Speaker 14 that's totally fine.

Speaker 126 Yeah.

Speaker 11 They are coming out and saying things that I never thought possible that they would ever say.

Speaker 25 However, I'm wondering now

Speaker 42 if Democrats, I mean, the kind you used to live next door to, you know what I mean, and probably still do live next door to, that aren't crazies,

Speaker 72 do they see that you're now being spoon-fed environmental terrorism?

Speaker 72 They're now starting to embrace terrorism.

Speaker 2 I don't know. We're so divided.
We are so torn apart

Speaker 2 on every issue that I don't know if there are just normal Democrats anymore.

Speaker 4 Not very many of them anyway.

Speaker 2 I mean, they hate the other side so much that they can't see any of this stuff.

Speaker 112 Well, there has to be because

Speaker 146 there are many groups that make up the right.

Speaker 73 There are the people who are just, get them.

Speaker 27 That's a small little fringe group.

Speaker 40 Then there are the Trump supporters. Then there are the people who are reluctant Trump supporters, and then non-Trump supporters.

Speaker 82 You know,

Speaker 126 the right is broken up and fragmented.

Speaker 11 Are you saying that it's just one lockstep?

Speaker 7 Feels like Democratic Party.

Speaker 9 It does feel like it because you never hear anybody speak out against it.

Speaker 58 It does feel like that, but I think sometimes I notice this with vaccines a lot, right? Like, who are the people that get highlighted?

Speaker 147 You get the people who are like, you have the vaccine or you go to prison on one side.

Speaker 58 And then you have the people who are like, I don't want your fancy medicine on the other.

Speaker 50 And it's like, I don't know.

Speaker 58 You talk to people about it. And people are like, yeah, you know, I don't know.
I'm a little, I don't really want to get it. I don't like getting shots.
I don't want the side effects. Right.

Speaker 58 And then you talk to the other people on the other side and like, you know, I think it's a good idea, but if you don't want to get it, whatever. What are we going to do?

Speaker 58 Like, I think that's most people in reality. On the internet, in

Speaker 58 the media, those people never get highlighted. But like, I don't know, when I have conversations with people about this stuff, they're not insane.
They don't, they don't sound like they tweet.

Speaker 58 And I don't know if that's just a function of social media or what gets clicks online or what, but it definitely does seem different.

Speaker 135 You know,

Speaker 58 I mean, there are there are definitely people I know. But we live.
Florida, Texas. Yeah, no, that's true.

Speaker 102 But I have

Speaker 58 a lot of people, friends who live around the country.

Speaker 58 And, you know, we've lived in every city, basically. We're in radio, so we've moved 46,000 times.
And when I talk to people,

Speaker 58 there are some people I know who are like, like, hate Donald Trump with such a passion that no matter what is associated with him, they will, you know, revolt against it and say he's the worst person in the world.

Speaker 58 But, like, I also know people who voted for Joe Biden, who are just like, I don't know.

Speaker 58 I mean, like, you know, it just seemed like he was a better, I don't know, Trump seems like he's out of control, but whatever. Like, there's not like, not everyone has that.

Speaker 58 I think people do live their own lives. They do actually like care.
And a lot of these people, by the way, are very gettable on things like CRT. You know, people, they might totally hate Donald Trump.

Speaker 65 I think the vaccine too.

Speaker 118 And Afghanistan.

Speaker 58 Yeah, and Afghanistan in particular.

Speaker 2 Afghanistan's the one that I think we're closest on.

Speaker 58 I haven't met one person who has defended what happened in Afghanistan, including all my most liberal friends. None of them say it was acceptable, let alone

Speaker 58 incredibly successful or whatever the terminology they used was.

Speaker 135 I haven't met anybody.

Speaker 58 I don't think there's a soul. I don't know if there's anybody inside the Biden administration who thinks that went well.

Speaker 120 Hang on just a second.

Speaker 9 The general is now speaking.

Speaker 123 We want to give you an opportunity to have opening statements.

Speaker 61 Okay, we're going to skip those opening statements because they're going to be great.

Speaker 53 Backing you with more in just a second.

Speaker 9 First, let me tell you about Life Lock.

Speaker 70 Back in the good old days, a man wanted to rob you blind.

Speaker 85 He'd beat the crap out of you in a dark alley somewhere.

Speaker 9 He had integrity.

Speaker 35 Times are simpler in the back alley when they stole your wallet.

Speaker 33 But nowadays cyber criminals exist and they have ever more sophisticated ways of taking what is yours, including your money and your identity.

Speaker 126 Cybercrime is not just going to go away, it gets harder all the time to track all of it down.

Speaker 30 That's why you need Life Lock. They can't detect everything, but they catch a ton of criminal activity.

Speaker 38 It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft is affecting your life.

Speaker 30 Every day we put our information out at risk on the internet, and they will detect a wide range of identity threats and they'll send you an alert.

Speaker 67 Plus, if you have access to a dedicated restoration specialist, you're not going to get that anywhere else except Life Lock.

Speaker 29 You have access to that person if you become a victim.

Speaker 143 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 82 All right, let's see what General Milley has to say in his opening statement here.

Speaker 100 A landlocked country, no government, a highly dynamic situation on the ground, and an active, credible, and lethal terrorist threat.

Speaker 100 In a span of just two days, from the 13th to the 14th of August,

Speaker 140 we went from working alongside a democratically elected, long-time partner government to coordinating warily with a long-time enemy.

Speaker 140 We operated in a deeply dangerous environment.

Speaker 131 Wow.

Speaker 140 And it proved a lesson in pragmatism and professionalism.

Speaker 131 We learned a lot of other lessons, too,

Speaker 100 about how to turn an Air Force base and Qatar to an international airport overnight.

Speaker 44 Why would you have to do that?

Speaker 100 About how to rapidly screen, process, and manifest large numbers of people.

Speaker 44 Why?

Speaker 100 Nothing like this has ever been done before and no other military in the world could have pulled it off and I think that is crucial.

Speaker 58 No, everywhere ends like this.

Speaker 100 Now I know that members of this committee will have questions on many things such as why we turned over Bagram Airfield.

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 140 How real is our over-the-horizon capability?

Speaker 80 Ooh, that's another good one.

Speaker 100 And why didn't we start evacuations sooner?

Speaker 81 Oh, right. Yes.

Speaker 140 And why didn't we stay longer to get more people out of this?

Speaker 58 Yes, great questions.

Speaker 100 So let me take each in turn. Okay, all right.

Speaker 140 Retaining Bagram would have required putting as many as 5,000 U.S.

Speaker 100 troops in harm's way just to operate and defend it.

Speaker 131 And it would have

Speaker 100 contributed little to the mission that we've been assigned.

Speaker 60 No.

Speaker 100 And that was to protect and defend the embassy, which was some 30 miles away.

Speaker 58 But the problem was the assignment. That's what it was.

Speaker 80 But the distance from Kabul also rendered Bagram of little value any evacuation.

Speaker 100 Staying at Bagram, even for counterterrorism purposes, meant staying at war in Afghanistan.

Speaker 44 No.

Speaker 140 Something that the President made clear that he would not do. Right.

Speaker 126 That's the problem.

Speaker 80 That's the problem.

Speaker 140 Because we're over the horizon operations.

Speaker 100 When we use that term, we refer to assets and target analysis that come from outside the country in which the operation occurs.

Speaker 140 These are effective and fairly common operations.

Speaker 58 This is how you hit the people.

Speaker 100 Indeed, just days ago, we conducted one such strike in Syria, eliminating

Speaker 3 Al-Qaeda from Afghanistan.

Speaker 58 Yeah, Yeah, the high-value target.

Speaker 91 The high-value targets delivering water

Speaker 80 delivering water.

Speaker 131 But absolutely possible.

Speaker 19 It's possible.

Speaker 100 And the intelligence that supports them comes from a variety of sources and not just

Speaker 29 that told you that those kids delivering water were the ones you're seeing.

Speaker 58 Yeah, because the nice thing about that one, Glenn, was that

Speaker 58 the kids were really excited to see their dad, so they all ran out to the car to greet him.

Speaker 102 And that's when the car blew up.

Speaker 78 That is so sweet.

Speaker 58 But we have those over-the-horizon capabilities.

Speaker 9 this is the glenn back program thank you so much i want to talk to you a little bit about the covenant it's about the old testament in fact

Speaker 29 you know hollywood has made a whole bunch of old testament movies they've made biblical movies and they always change the story um the covenant is something that is will be a multi-season tv series adaptation of the stories of the old testament and it's written by andrew clavin who is a great writer and a good friend and respects uh the honest depictions of the Bible.

Speaker 58 If Andrew's involved in that, it's going to be great.

Speaker 103 It's going to be great.

Speaker 9 And Cayo Films is producing this series through crowdfunding, which means if you want to see these things made, you believe in the Old Testament

Speaker 72 and you believe those things are important to teach

Speaker 78 General Milley is now testifying

Speaker 82 in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee. We're going to hear beyond his opening statement.

Speaker 82 What was his involvement in Afghanistan?

Speaker 111 What is his excuse for Afghanistan?

Speaker 35 Same with General Austin.

Speaker 82 And what exactly is he

Speaker 8 did he do with China?

Speaker 82 We'll give you the details on that and so much more coming up in 60 seconds.

Speaker 82 The Glenn

Speaker 34 Dan lives in New York and he's a semi-professional bodybuilder.

Speaker 71 I feel like we have a lot in common, Dan.

Speaker 73 I'm semi-professional.

Speaker 18 I've been building my body in different ways though.

Speaker 54 Anyway, Dan's been suffering from shoulder pain for quite a while and due to an injury he sustained while lifting weights, it was bad enough that he and his doctor were talking about getting a shoulder replacement.

Speaker 27 Not fun.

Speaker 75 He kept hearing me talk about Relief Factor on the radio, began to wonder, hmm,

Speaker 3 would that work for me?

Speaker 66 He wasn't especially hopeful, but the prospect of a

Speaker 15 shoulder replacement didn't sound very fun.

Speaker 71 He literally had nothing to lose, everything in the world to gain.

Speaker 66 He started taking Relief Factor. He says within a couple of weeks beginning to take it, the pain started to go away.

Speaker 149 His mobility began to return.

Speaker 126 Dan got his life back. Didn't have to have surgery.

Speaker 134 Feel the difference yourself.

Speaker 85 Let's see. Let's just take some of the Millie

Speaker 56 comments here.

Speaker 53 Here he is on the Trump revelations, I believe he said.

Speaker 123 That are of deep concern to many members on the committee. And with your permission, I would like to address those for a minute or two.

Speaker 123 Again, I have submitted memoranda for the committee to take a look at. You may proceed.

Speaker 150 Mr.

Speaker 123 Chairman, I have served this Nation for 42 years. I have spent years in combat, and I have buried a lot of my troops who died while defending this country.

Speaker 123 My loyalty to this Nation, its people, and the Constitution hasn't changed and will never change as long as I have a breath to give. My loyalty is absolute and I will not turn my back on the fallen.

Speaker 123 With respect to the Chinese calls, I routinely communicated with my counterpart, General Lee, with the knowledge and coordination of civilian oversight.

Speaker 123 I am specifically directed to communicate with the Chinese by Department of Defense guidance, the policy dialogue system.

Speaker 123 These military-to-military communications at the highest level are critical to the security of the United States in order to deconflict military actions, manage crisis, and prevent war between great powers that are armed with the world's most deadliest weapons.

Speaker 123 The calls on 30 October and 8 January were coordinated before and after with Secretary Esper and acting Secretary Miller's staffs and the interagency.

Speaker 123 The specific purpose of the October and January calls were to generate or were generated by concerning intelligence, which caused us to believe the Chinese were worried about an attack on them by the United States.

Speaker 123 I know, I am certain, that President Trump did not intend to attack the Chinese.

Speaker 123 And it is my directed responsibility, and it was my directed responsibility by the Secretary to convey that intent to the Chinese. My task at that time was to de-escalate.

Speaker 123 My message again was consistent. Stay calm.

Speaker 50 Stay clear.

Speaker 80 De-escalate.

Speaker 123 We are not going to attack you.

Speaker 123 At Secretary of Defense Esper's direction, I made a call to General Lee on 30 October. Eight people sat in that call with me, and I read out the call within 30 minutes of the call ending.

Speaker 123 On 31 December, the Chinese requested another call with me.

Speaker 123 The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Asia-Pacific Policy helped coordinate my call, which was then scheduled for 8 January, and he made a preliminary call on 6th January.

Speaker 123 Eleven people attended that call with me, and readouts of this call were distributed to the interagency that same day.

Speaker 123 Shortly after my call ended with General Lee, I personally informed both Secretary of State Pompeo and White House Chief of Staff Meadows about the call, among other topics.

Speaker 123 Soon after that, I attended a meeting with Acting Secretary Miller, where I briefed him on the call.

Speaker 123 Later that same day on 8 January, Speaker of the House Pelosi called me to inquire about the President's ability to launch nuclear weapons.

Speaker 123 I sought to assure her that nuclear launch is governed by a very specific and deliberate process. She was concerned and

Speaker 123 made various personal references. characterizing the President.

Speaker 123 I explained to her that the President is the sole nuclear launch authority and he doesn't launch them alone, and that I am not qualified to determine the mental health of the President of the United States.

Speaker 123 There are processes, protocols, and procedures in place, and I repeatedly assured her that there is no chance of an illegal, unauthorized, or accidental launch.

Speaker 123 By presidential directive, and Secretary of Defense directives, the Chairman is part of the process to ensure the President is fully informed when determining the use of the world's deadliest weapons.

Speaker 123 By law, I am not in the chain of command, and I know that.

Speaker 123 However, by Presidential Directive and DoD instruction, I am in the chain of communication to fulfill my legal statutory role as the President's primary military advisor.

Speaker 123 After the Speaker Pelosi call, I convened a short meeting in my office with key members of my staff to refresh all of us on the procedures which we practice daily daily at the action officer level.

Speaker 123 Additionally, I immediately informed Acting Secretary of Defense Miller

Speaker 123 of Speaker Pelosi's phone call.

Speaker 123 At no time was I attempting to change or influence the process, usurp authority, or insert myself in the chain of command.

Speaker 123 But I am expected, I am required to give my advice and ensure that the President is fully informed on military matters.

Speaker 123 I am submitting for the record a more detailed and unclassified memorandum that I believe you all now have, although late. And I welcome a thorough walkthrough on every single one of these events.

Speaker 3 All right. So Stu.

Speaker 47 Give me the, because that's not really how it's portrayed in the book, is it?

Speaker 58 Yeah, a couple different incidents here. On the China call,

Speaker 58 the book

Speaker 58 does indicate that he called China and tried to de-escalate.

Speaker 58 The impression you get from the book is that they had intelligence that the Chinese were worried about this. So how did they acquire that?

Speaker 58 Some sort of espionage or whatever that they thought that they were worried about us attacking because they saw

Speaker 80 the

Speaker 101 unrest here.

Speaker 58 And

Speaker 58 they don't, you know, the Chinese wouldn't necessarily understand that. And he tried to explain to them, oh, this is just the messiness of democracy.
It's just the messiness of democracy.

Speaker 58 But in the book, it's portrayed as...

Speaker 61 They shouldn't have read it as this is the biggest attack on democracy since the Civil War.

Speaker 58 Yeah, it's odd. Very different to spin than we've even heard from Millie.
Now, obviously, you could excuse him for lying to the Chinese. I would have no problem with him saying whatever.

Speaker 69 But

Speaker 58 I don't know what. I mean, my guess is he's lying to us.
Yes.

Speaker 58 However, the book itself portrays it much more like it's a secret call than he's saying here. There's not all that detail about there was 11 people on and all of that.

Speaker 58 It's portrayed more as like a he was so distraught by the happenings here

Speaker 58 that he had to call to make sure that this was this possibility of an attack was put down. At no point did they indicate, as he mentions there, that

Speaker 58 he actually believed Trump was going to attack.

Speaker 58 Now, there seems to be worry from Pelosi on that, and that's the other part of that call. Pelosi calling him, and he mentions there in his testimony,

Speaker 58 you know, talking about how he, you know, look, I don't know. I have no way of

Speaker 50 Jim.

Speaker 58 He has no way of determining whether the president's mental health is at stake or not.

Speaker 58 However, in the call, multiple times, he tells Nancy Pelosi that he agrees with everything she's saying and says it, and she's because she's the one saying he's insane, he's crazy.

Speaker 58 And they have the transcript, the full transcript in the book. And he replies,

Speaker 58 I don't have the clear.

Speaker 101 I agree with you.

Speaker 58 But I agree with you on it. It's like he says something like, I agree with you on everything that you're saying.
We are in 100% agreement.

Speaker 6 That's a little different than,

Speaker 50 I'm not a doctor.

Speaker 50 I can't comment on that.

Speaker 6 I can't comment on that.

Speaker 76 I can't comment on that.

Speaker 7 That's for you to say, not for me to even weigh in on.

Speaker 58 Now, when you read the book, you get the very,

Speaker 58 very strong suspicion, especially if you know anything about Woodward's past writings, that General Milley is a big-time source for the book. Many of these conversations are in detail.

Speaker 58 He's involved in them, and he comes off looking like the hero, which is always how you can tell in a Woodward book who is the source. Correct.

Speaker 58 Because he just, you know, he gives them the most positive treatment, which is why he gets people to participate. Because if you don't participate with him, he makes you look like a criminal.

Speaker 58 So people participate all the time. I mean, even Donald Trump talked to Bob Woodward about one of his books, even though he knew it was going to be a negative book.

Speaker 58 Because if you don't talk to him, they just take everyone else's lies as fact. So you have to at least attempt to push back.
It's a nice little

Speaker 58 circuitous system Woodward's got going on with these books. But you get the strong sense that Millie is a source for almost all of this type of intrigue in the book.

Speaker 42 All right.

Speaker 61 The leaders are facing questions about the Afghan withdrawal.

Speaker 9 We want to stay with this a bit

Speaker 109 today

Speaker 85 because this is,

Speaker 11 I mean, this is the worst thing that has happened militarily.

Speaker 58 I would frame it a little bit differently. I would say you can't call it anything but a success.
That's how I would frame it.

Speaker 6 That's how you would frame it.

Speaker 58 I also have red hair and a dress on right now.

Speaker 50 You don't have either of them, though.

Speaker 58 If I did, if I was Jen Socky, I would say this was anything but a success.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 58 What's interesting about

Speaker 58 Millie's testimony is as he's beginning the testimonies, we were coming back to the show, he said, it's obvious the war did not end on the terms we wanted.

Speaker 58 Now, I thought it was, you couldn't say it was anything but a success, but now he's saying we didn't, these are not the terms that we wanted. So I don't know.

Speaker 58 I guess there's some little through way you can come through and make both of those statements make sense.

Speaker 58 Or maybe they were just hoping for failure, and then they got a success.

Speaker 58 And that's.

Speaker 87 Can I tell you?

Speaker 101 They got a they have a failure.

Speaker 14 I believe, I actually do believe that there are those that were involved in this that did want a failure.

Speaker 6 And so this was wildly successful in accomplishing all of the goals that they wanted, which was to demoralize America, make people question our

Speaker 82 military, and also drive a wedge between us and our

Speaker 81 allies.

Speaker 61 If that was your goal, there is no other way to describe this other than a complete success.

Speaker 56 By the way, I did an interview with General Flynn

Speaker 61 yesterday, and it's going to be the podcast on Thursday for Blaze TV subscribers.

Speaker 11 If you haven't subscribed yet, you kind of want to see this one.

Speaker 118 He had a lot to say about General Milley,

Speaker 14 which was weird.

Speaker 120 He had

Speaker 58 the tight buddies, would you say?

Speaker 69 I wouldn't characterize it that way.

Speaker 42 No, no, I wouldn't characterize it that way.

Speaker 85 And he had a lot to say about Afghanistan.

Speaker 29 Oh, and he had an awful lot to say about the Justice Department

Speaker 65 and a lot to say about the media.

Speaker 142 He had generally a lot to say.

Speaker 58 I bet.

Speaker 56 General Flynn, the first interview with him, that comes up on Thursday only on Blaze TV back in 60 seconds.

Speaker 85 You know, all the kids, cool kids are doing, right?

Speaker 78 I mean, you know, sure, some of them are smoking in the bathroom, but that's not a, that's not, that's not cool, kids.

Speaker 119 That's not cool.

Speaker 55 That global warming.

Speaker 61 What the real cool kids do, they're just throwing big slabs of meat onto a RECTEC.

Speaker 81 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 They're smoking.

Speaker 15 They're smoking, but not in the bathroom.

Speaker 9 You know what I mean? When you want to grill, you want to be using a rectac.

Speaker 144 Why?

Speaker 10 Because it's the manliest thing

Speaker 37 you've ever thrown a steak on.

Speaker 32 Honest to God, this is just the best.

Speaker 33 Its smart grill technology ensures that you're going to get the perfect cooking experience every single time.

Speaker 107 RekTech monitors its own heat throughout, makes sure that it stays in even heat, adjusting as needed with the outdoor weather.

Speaker 94 The whole time, you bet, you're inside checking on the app using your smartphone or your device.

Speaker 34 Cook your steaks the way I do in the great state of Texas, the way God intended it.

Speaker 38 Cook them on a RekTech so they come out perfect every time.

Speaker 7 RekTech, R-E-C-T-E-Q dot com.

Speaker 151 That's RECTEC with a Q, RECTEC.com.

Speaker 67 10 seconds station ID.

Speaker 128 Let's go back to General Milling.

Speaker 152 The recommendation

Speaker 43 In Hoff.

Speaker 123 What I said in my opening statement and the memoranda that I wrote back in the fall of 2020 remained consistent, and I do agree with that.

Speaker 152 This committee is unsure as to whether or not General Miller's recommendation ever got to the President.

Speaker 152 You know, obviously, there are conversations with the President.

Speaker 152 But I would like to ask, even though General McKenzie, I think you've all made this statement, did you talk to the President about General Miller's recommendation?

Speaker 123 Sir, I was present when that discussion occurred, and I'm confident that the President heard all the recommendations and listened to them very thoughtfully.

Speaker 152 So one of the recommendations that was made by the three of you would be the recommendation that originally was made by General Millers

Speaker 152 two weeks ago.

Speaker 152 During the August 18th interview on ABC, George Sephoranopoulos asked President Biden whether U.S. troops would stay beyond August 31st if there are still Americans to evacuate.

Speaker 152 President Biden responded, and this is a quote, if there's American citizens left, we're going to stay to get them all out.

Speaker 152 This didn't happen.

Speaker 152 The President's Biden's decision resulted in all of the troops leaving, but the American citizens are still trying to get out.

Speaker 152 How many American citizens,

Speaker 152 is it your opinion, are still there?

Speaker 152 Just go down the line, each one of you.

Speaker 97 Here comes anyone?

Speaker 149 Senator, I would defer to the State Department for

Speaker 80 that assessment.

Speaker 139 That's a dynamic process.

Speaker 139 They have been contacting the civilians that are in Afghanistan.

Speaker 153 And again, I would defer to them for definitive numbers.

Speaker 55 Here comes General Milley.

Speaker 55 Just same

Speaker 123 as the Secretary just said. There were numbers at the beginning of this whole process with the F-77 report

Speaker 123 out of the embassy.

Speaker 123 And we know that we took out almost 6,000, I guess it is, American citizens. But how many remain?

Speaker 152 Okay, do all of you agree that Secretary of State Blanken, when he made his analysis as to how many people would be here, would still be there, he talked about the 10,000 to 15,000 citizens left behind

Speaker 152 and then evacuated some 6,000. That would mean a minimum of 4,000

Speaker 152 would still be there now. Would anyone disagree with that?

Speaker 152 By your silence, I assume you agree.

Speaker 44 I have no,

Speaker 139 I I personally don't believe that there are 4,000 American citizens

Speaker 149 still left in Afghanistan, but I cannot confirm or deny that, Senator.

Speaker 85 So you think Secretary of State was probably wrong in his analysis.

Speaker 80 Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Speaker 123 Thank you. And just for the record, the Chair

Speaker 123 and the Vice Chair slash ranking member have each abided by the five-minute rule.

Speaker 97 So that is fair.

Speaker 154 Good analysis. Thank you, Mr.
Chairman, and thank you, Secretary Austin, General Milley, and General McKenzie for being here this morning.

Speaker 154 And Secretary Austin and General Milley, thank you for your effort to put into some historical perspective what happened in Afghanistan and for recognizing the incredible service and sacrifice.

Speaker 3 To keep you updated, Democrats like the military right now.

Speaker 44 General Milley,

Speaker 95 that will change soon.

Speaker 154 In a hearing before the city,

Speaker 80 military concerns about the

Speaker 80 fact that they're not going to be able to do Afghans until we start talking about January 6th.

Speaker 154 I asked about the department's plans to evacuate them.

Speaker 154 Now, you indicated today that

Speaker 154 you thought we might be facing the kind of desperate situation that we saw in Kabul.

Speaker 154 But your response at that time was

Speaker 154 that, quote, lots of planning was ongoing and

Speaker 154 this is, end quote, and the State Department was leading efforts pertaining to evacuating our Afghan partners.

Speaker 154 And you explicitly told the committee that in your professional opinion, you did not see Saigon 1975 in Afghanistan.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 154 I'm just trying to figure out why we missed,

Speaker 154 or from a public perception, it appears that we didn't anticipate the rapid fall of the world.

Speaker 120 Because it wasn't Saigon 1975.

Speaker 116 Afghanistan.

Speaker 154 Kabul and the rise of the Taliban and the

Speaker 154 people saw it play out on television.

Speaker 129 In Afghanistan.

Speaker 154 What did we miss?

Speaker 123 I think, Senator, we absolutely missed the rapid 11-day collapse of the Afghan military and the collapse of their government.

Speaker 111 I think there was a lot of... Let me ask you something, Stu.

Speaker 46 Did you miss that?

Speaker 46 Did you miss that?

Speaker 22 Did that sneak up on you?

Speaker 58 Not at all. I saw it all happening on television.

Speaker 71 Right.

Speaker 8 And before, when they just said we're just gonna come out and the troops are gonna be fine and everybody's gonna be great, did you believe that, or did you have some intel?

Speaker 58 I had some secret intel.

Speaker 66 Secret intel, because I must have had secret intel because I didn't think that was going to work out at all.

Speaker 9 I wasn't surprised by the collapse of Afghanistan.

Speaker 9 This is the Glennbach program.

Speaker 156 American Financing, NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

Speaker 38 That seemed like such a good idea at the time.

Speaker 148 That's the title of the life story of everyone who's ever gotten himself or herself up to their eyeballs in credit card debt.

Speaker 81 Really, it did.

Speaker 136 It seemed like a really good time.

Speaker 87 And if you're still paying on some of those credit cards that haunt your past, you're probably feeling where it hurts the most right now, in the wallet.

Speaker 62 Give American Financing a call today if this is you.

Speaker 9 Let them see if they can get that debt under control, get it consolidated with any other debt that you have and at a lower interest rate.

Speaker 81 Hello and welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Speaker 128 We're really glad that you are really glad that you're here.

Speaker 121 Thank you so much for listening.

Speaker 87 I'm going to play a rant from Joe Rogan that I just think is inspiring.

Speaker 109 Now, he's in trouble for this because somebody made a video of it and then put some images to it that include the

Speaker 95 Nazis, and they're not happy, so Joe Rogan must pay.

Speaker 15 But listen to his words.

Speaker 157 As soon as you give politicians power, any kind of power that didn't exist previously,

Speaker 157 if they can figure out a way to force you into carrying something that lets you enter businesses or lets you do this or lets businesses open, historically, they are not going to give that power up.

Speaker 157 They find new reasons to use all of your bad.

Speaker 157 We have to protect those freedoms at all costs, whether you agree with people's choices or not, because it is the foundation that this country was founded on freedom

Speaker 157 this idea of freedom there's so many people that think it's frivolous it's not important it's not the main thing that we should be focused on but it is the literal structure that allows this country to be so f ⁇ ing amazing every single country that's ever existed other than the United States up until 1776 every

Speaker 157 country that has ever existed was run by dictator all of them this is the first experiment in self-government that actually worked, and it created the greatest superpower the world's ever known.

Speaker 157 It created the greatest cultural machine, the greatest machine of art and creativity and innovation right here. And how did it do that? It did it through freedom.

Speaker 157 And as soon as you see something, anything that comes along and inhibits your freedom, you should be very cautious about this. You should be very suspicious.

Speaker 157 Because anything that comes along that can inhibit your freedom is, by definition anti-American.

Speaker 19 All right, that's horrible, isn't it?

Speaker 43 That's horrible.

Speaker 3 Now,

Speaker 36 why is he in trouble?

Speaker 67 Why is he in trouble?

Speaker 141 Because

Speaker 141 he says,

Speaker 61 you know, that anybody's trying to take your rights away.

Speaker 15 And as he's saying that, images of the Holocaust.

Speaker 35 And that apparently can't be done.

Speaker 58 Right. That's their big, their big line, I guess.

Speaker 58 The group of people that told you that Donald Trump was Adolf Hitler Hitler for the past five years now suddenly has a problem with Holocaust comparisons. That is

Speaker 58 an interesting new discovery from the left.

Speaker 135 I don't know how they came across it.

Speaker 58 Wow. And by the way, we should point out that Joe Rogan didn't compare

Speaker 60 that at all.

Speaker 58 That's the filmmaker who

Speaker 58 put images to his words used some

Speaker 58 Nazi penalty.

Speaker 126 And a lot of other images, too.

Speaker 124 Dictators. From dictators.

Speaker 43 Dictators.

Speaker 53 Whenever anyone starts to say

Speaker 61 certain things, those are signs that you're on the wrong path.

Speaker 87 Right.

Speaker 58 The wrong path is the best way to put this. Because at the end of the path, if the end of the path is Nazi Germany,

Speaker 58 you don't take two steps down that path. You don't take five steps down that path.
You take zero steps down that path. You avoid the path at all.

Speaker 58 No one is saying that currently we are in the middle of murdering millions of people. However, when government takes control, sometimes bad people wind up with the power behind that government.

Speaker 58 And they are able to use those controls against the people. I will give you for the left an example of someone that might concern you with lots and lots of power.
His name's Donald Trump.

Speaker 58 Remember how much, you remember how you were saying he was Hitler? Well, what if he had all of this power? What if you gave him all of that power?

Speaker 58 What if this person that you've been saying is Adolf Hitler for five years? What if he had all of this power? How would you feel about it? This is why it doesn't matter about the man.

Speaker 58 It doesn't matter who the person is.

Speaker 35 It doesn't matter the party.

Speaker 58 The country is designed so that no matter how crappy your president is, they can't do those things.

Speaker 6 Right.

Speaker 14 No matter how crappy Congress or the Senate

Speaker 6 or the Supreme Court or anybody.

Speaker 14 You can't do it.

Speaker 22 But it requires all of those people to stand with the Constitution of the United States.

Speaker 8 And they're not.

Speaker 60 And they're not doing it because of their own power and their own money, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 10 Or their own arrogance.

Speaker 9 They think they know better.

Speaker 62 And that's where dictators usually start.

Speaker 79 They just know better than everyone else.

Speaker 70 And that's what we were designed to stop.

Speaker 8 And we're the only one designed to stop it.

Speaker 79 Now, they say, you know, just because it's like Hitler doesn't mean it's going to end in the Holocaust.

Speaker 35 Well, okay, but I don't really think that we should be going down the German road in any way, shape, or form.

Speaker 35 Yeah, it may not lead to the ovens, but I don't think I want to even go down that road at all.

Speaker 134 I mean, maybe we'll have some strudel, but that's as deep into Germany as I care to go.

Speaker 69 But if you look at the,

Speaker 35 this was developed by Genocide Watch

Speaker 9 along with the United States Department of State, the eight stages of genocide.

Speaker 4 And here they are.

Speaker 70 So would you say that we want to go down this road at all,

Speaker 56 or if we want to make sure that it never happens again,

Speaker 48 we shouldn't do any of these things.

Speaker 21 Here's step one.

Speaker 47 people are divided into them and us

Speaker 77 all right well that's been done that's done okay so step one on our road to the Holocaust has already been done step two symbolization when combined with hatred symbols may be forced upon unwilling members of pariah groups

Speaker 141 To combat symbolization, hate symbols can be legally prohibited as hate speech.

Speaker 43 Okay.

Speaker 40 Well, I don't think that that

Speaker 61 star has been sewn on to anybody.

Speaker 14 I think the hate symbol that has been given by the left is the Make America Great Hat.

Speaker 10 Anything that identifies you as a Trump supporter, you are now part of a group that it's okay to hate.

Speaker 4 Would you agree with that?

Speaker 81 Yeah,

Speaker 58 I would say say that's true. I mean, you look at, I mean,

Speaker 58 there was an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm from this past year where Larry David decided he didn't want to talk to people, so he wore a MAGA hat so that people wouldn't talk to him anymore because he knew no one would want to interact with him if he had it on.

Speaker 58 I mean, I think that that's obviously a comedic way of telling it, but I think that that's kind of true.

Speaker 112 I think it is large swaths of the country.

Speaker 41 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 29 Large swaths of the country.

Speaker 60 The other symbol that is okay to hate is not wearing a mask.

Speaker 40 If you wear a mask, you're fine.

Speaker 58 You can scream at the person.

Speaker 40 You can scream at the person that's not wearing a mask.

Speaker 58 Remember, we had that whole, you know, punch a Nazi movement for a while there. It's, you know, related to the Antifa stuff where, you know, you see someone who you quote unquote think is a fascist.

Speaker 58 It's okay to punch them, right? It's okay to attack them because we're anti-fascists.

Speaker 58 So there is definitely a movement and a powerful one.

Speaker 3 So we're on that road.

Speaker 55 Yeah, Yeah, but we're not.

Speaker 10 We're not officially assigning a symbol, but the symbols exist.

Speaker 40 Discrimination is the third one.

Speaker 124 Law or cultural power.

Speaker 40 Law or cultural power excludes groups from full civil rights, segregation, or apartheid laws, denial of voting rights.

Speaker 97 Okay.

Speaker 124 Well, law or cultural power, we have that,

Speaker 107 denying groups full civil rights or segregation, we are now in our colleges segregating.

Speaker 42 We're segregating instead of black people out, we're now segregating white people out.

Speaker 58 New York City is most

Speaker 58 younger African Americans are not allowed to go into restaurants.

Speaker 33 Yes, you got it on that direction.

Speaker 58 So you have multiple places there. I mean, certainly not full civil rights have eroded to that level.
Well,

Speaker 42 you want to go down this road. You're being told that their patience is running thin and you will will not be able to do things if you don't have the vaccine

Speaker 4 they are that's definitely again that's not on the civil rights but there there are problems right uh step four we're halfway to the ovens we're halfway to the ovens now well you're saying this is half of this list yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but we haven't done all the things so far on the list we've done no but some of them are on the road yeah we're on the road on all of all of them so far right uh four dehumanization One group denies the humanity of the other group.

Speaker 27 Members of it are equated with animals, vermin, insects, or diseases.

Speaker 31 Already done. That's done.

Speaker 120 I don't know that that's.

Speaker 58 Well, it's done.

Speaker 113 By some. By some.
By some.

Speaker 58 Like, for example, you watched Jimmy Kimmel the other night saying, like,

Speaker 58 let the people who are unvaccinated die in the hospitals.

Speaker 9 Yeah, it's not just Jimmy Kimmel.

Speaker 37 You have doctors saying that.

Speaker 18 You have some.

Speaker 58 But I mean, I don't know that that's the entire society or the entire apparatus of the government saying that, but it is

Speaker 102 becoming too popular.

Speaker 87 Yes.

Speaker 35 Becoming more popular.

Speaker 15 Organization.

Speaker 28 This is where it, this is where the metal meets the road or the rubber meets the road.

Speaker 66 Terrible tires if they're made out of that.

Speaker 35 You have the first four, and those can be done culturally

Speaker 68 or through official means.

Speaker 35 The four of these have been done culturally. Now you get into organization.

Speaker 61 Genocide is always organized.

Speaker 121 Special army units or militias are often trained and armed.

Speaker 27 I think we're going through that now with our military being trained on CRT

Speaker 41 and, you know, they're out searching for people who are Trump supporters because they're radicals, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 87 It's the beginning of it, or what could be the beginning of it.

Speaker 126 Do you disagree with that?

Speaker 58 I mean, I see what you're saying. I mean, the idea that

Speaker 58 the emphasis on domestic terrorism

Speaker 58 is a problem. I mean, does that mean that we have organized militias going after the government?

Speaker 80 No, no, no.

Speaker 11 I'm not saying that.

Speaker 35 I'm saying this is the beginning.

Speaker 65 The training is beginning to see things

Speaker 93 as

Speaker 40 parts of the country.

Speaker 146 However, you vote, or if you won't play along with the woke game, you're a problem.

Speaker 26 You're an extremist.

Speaker 61 That's the beginning of the training.

Speaker 134 Then polarization, hate groups broadcast polarizing propaganda.

Speaker 58 But we're already doing that right now in this program. That's what we do every day.

Speaker 81 No, remember, I mean, I think that this is coming from, this is aimed at the victim group.

Speaker 11 And I think that propaganda is coming out already. Preparation, mass killing is planned.

Speaker 51 Thank God I don't think that's happening.

Speaker 37 Persecution, that's when people are rounded up and put into ghettos or concentration concentration camps and then extermination by the way the tenth step

Speaker 61 the perpetrators deny they committed any crime

Speaker 74 how hard that must be you know we've always seen this and we saw this in germany

Speaker 138 uh and we still see this in germany there they're you know people like well i didn't have any i well no we didn't do anything wrong i was just that was what was going on we didn't know how hard it must be for the people who lived through that and know their new their neighbors did know.

Speaker 8 I mean, how many times do we have people denying things?

Speaker 74 Like, for instance, right now, the Democrats, not anywhere in the scale, but the Democrats denying that they were the ones that were holding kids out of school, that they were the ones they now claim they were fighting for the schools to be open.

Speaker 37 It was the evil Republicans that were trying to keep the schools closed.

Speaker 33 I mean, how do you survive survive that?

Speaker 29 How do you, I mean, how do you make that so your brain just doesn't explode?

Speaker 58 And I'll say, like, as important as it is to warn about these roads, it's also important to note, you know, like it does. Big things.
It does.

Speaker 35 Big things are standing in the way still.

Speaker 58 Big things. We have a constitutional structure that stops this.
We have great people in the military and our police that stop this. And like, look, I'll be honest, you know, everyday life,

Speaker 21 it seems normal.

Speaker 135 I mean,

Speaker 58 these things escalate slowly, but these problems are problems that you get rid of now. Now.
So you don't worry about these bigger problems. Correct.

Speaker 31 Correct.

Speaker 109 And as Edwin Black told me,

Speaker 66 these problems that we have, this means the Holocaust may never, ever come to America.

Speaker 12 But it also means that we've done a lot of the work where it could happen.

Speaker 80 tomorrow.

Speaker 10 We just have to be aware of when you're polarizing, when you're dividing, when you are excluding people, when you're denying the humanity of people.

Speaker 125 You are on the same road.

Speaker 33 And once enough people are convinced of those things, then the government can make the rest of it happen quickly.

Speaker 9 Sponsor this half hour is my pillow.

Speaker 35 We're still monitoring the

Speaker 88 Austin and Millie depositions in front of the Senate.

Speaker 67 Tom Cotton is asking some questions now.

Speaker 119 Let's just listen for.

Speaker 155 We had thousands of Americans in Afghanistan behind Taliban lines on August 15th, and it took 10 days to ask these general officers if we should extend our president.

Speaker 155 I suspect the answer might be a little different if you were asking them 16 days out, not five days out.

Speaker 155 Again, my time is limited. I want to move on to another matter.

Speaker 155 President Biden's bus evacuation screwed things up coming and going as it relates to Afghan evacuees.

Speaker 155 We left behind thousands of Afghans who served alongside of us who were vetted and approved to come here.

Speaker 155 We brought out thousands who really have no particular connection, about whom we know nothing, and cannot be effectively vetted. You now have female troops who have been assaulted.

Speaker 155 You have Afghan evacuees committing sex crimes at Fort McCoy.

Speaker 23 Okay, I want to hear this answer.

Speaker 16 How about you?

Speaker 12 We'll come back right where we left off in just a minute.

Speaker 12 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 128 I want to talk to you a little bit about American Home Shield.

Speaker 57 is

Speaker 57 the Glenback program.

Speaker 41 We have

Speaker 63 General Milley, General Austin, all testifying in front of Congress today about what happened in Afghanistan.

Speaker 88 We'll get to that.

Speaker 3 Also,

Speaker 35 We're going to talk a little bit about the president's new goal of 98, 97 or 98% of all Americans having the vaccine before we can get back to normal.

Speaker 142 I don't think people even know what normal is anymore.

Speaker 7 John Stossel also is suing Facebook.

Speaker 66 We're going to talk to him in 60 seconds.

Speaker 66 The Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 36 Look, there was a story out from the Fed.

Speaker 37 I think it came out last Wednesday.

Speaker 87 They're going to begin tapering, which means they're going to to start or stop buying as many stocks and bonds as they have been buying to bail everybody out.

Speaker 34 And they're also going to start raising interest rates.

Speaker 61 Now, they said they weren't going to do that for at least a year.

Speaker 35 They've changed their mind.

Speaker 125 They said,

Speaker 23 we're going to do that probably really early next year.

Speaker 129 That is a sign inflation is coming.

Speaker 34 Already the banks are raising the interest rates on people who want a loan.

Speaker 35 If you need a loan, please act now.

Speaker 14 You can pay less than 3%

Speaker 34 right now.

Speaker 29 And if you're paying more than that, you should get a refi or maybe a consolidation loan and pay all of your loans down,

Speaker 11 get that heavy interest off of your back.

Speaker 76 It's American Financing.

Speaker 35 It's a homegrown company that will have you covered coast to coast, no matter what your borrowing needs are. They work for you, not the banks.

Speaker 11 19-time Emmy winner John Stossel hailed by the Dallas Morning News as the most consistently thought-provoking TV reporter of our time.

Speaker 37 And then he then figured out that regulation causes more problems and decided to report on how the government is really screwing things up.

Speaker 16 And that's when things went bad for John, but went great for America.

Speaker 11 John Stossel joins us now.

Speaker 23 Hi, John. How are you?

Speaker 23 Great for America. Wow, I wish I had that much power.

Speaker 8 I think you have had a massive impact, John.

Speaker 145 I think you've had a massive impact on America.

Speaker 29 You know, I've watched you for years and years, and the things that

Speaker 142 you exposed, I think, think changed a lot of people open their eyes.

Speaker 109 Not, you know, not all of the, you know, party people in New York and all the people that are fashionable, but I think a lot of regular Americans.

Speaker 85 Why are you suing Facebook now?

Speaker 85 Well, I don't like lawsuits,

Speaker 85 but

Speaker 85 it's just unbelievable what Facebook is doing. Now, some of what we complain about, they can do legally.
They can take people off if they want.

Speaker 85 They can

Speaker 85 censor subjects like whether the virus might have been man-made in China. That's legal.
But it's not

Speaker 85 legal for them to just lie about people. And that's what they've done about me

Speaker 85 with the help of their fact checker, which

Speaker 85 they have a bunch, but a big one. This group called Science Feedback.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 80 Climate Feedback. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 26 And

Speaker 26 they made up a quote about me. They put it in quotes, something I never said.

Speaker 26 And when we pointed this out to them, they just don't change it. And when we try to talk to Facebook, they say, uh-huh, uh-huh, well, here's how our algorithm works, and they don't change it.

Speaker 26 And it's just a lie. And that is illegal.
And I thought, well, I should, with a lawsuit,

Speaker 26 teach them that they just can't do that.

Speaker 70 That's defamation. So how are you planning on going up against?

Speaker 79 I mean, Facebook has more money than God.

Speaker 26 You have good attorneys.

Speaker 35 I mean, what are the chances of one guy standing up against them

Speaker 126 that you win?

Speaker 126 Small, but the lawyers took it because in my case, it wasn't just about an unfairness.

Speaker 126 It was a flat-out lie, and that is defamation. But you're right.
It's going to cost me a lot of money and take a long time, and who knows?

Speaker 35 But I thought I'd try. Yeah, well, thank you for doing that.

Speaker 52 Tell me a little bit about what your thoughts are on the virus and the vaccine and all of this.

Speaker 61 America is so strangely split on this because it became all about politics.

Speaker 91 So

Speaker 18 what are your thoughts on that, John?

Speaker 18 I was listening to what you just said about that, and Biden, a 98%.

Speaker 55 That's just not going to happen.

Speaker 55 And the country is different from how it's been before.

Speaker 55 There's the level of hatred on the part of people around me for anybody who listens to you, listens to Fox, doesn't maybe doesn't get vaccinated. It's just

Speaker 55 they are in a rage.

Speaker 55 What's it I mean, I'm working on a video on this. I release a new video every Tuesday.
And we're researching different countries.

Speaker 55 And China and Australia are a little bit like America at its worst in terms of lockdowns. But Denmark just lifted all restrictions.

Speaker 55 Belgium has just allowed people to be maskless. Sweden eliminated almost all restrictions.

Speaker 55 Britain just got rid of its plans to create a vaccine passport. So many countries are wising up and saying, look, this is never going to go away.

Speaker 55 There's always going to be some around.

Speaker 55 And we have to resume normal life.

Speaker 95 And by doing that, people will get COVID, but it doesn't kill most of them, and people will acquire natural immunity. And that's the only way to move on.

Speaker 21 What do you think about

Speaker 146 how Americans and the world have reacted to this?

Speaker 56 I mean, I remember when it was breaking out in Beijing, and if you remember right, there were times that they were welding people into

Speaker 82 their homes.

Speaker 42 They were sealing these iron doors so people couldn't leave their homes.

Speaker 87 And I remember saying on the air, this would never happen.

Speaker 61 We would never put up with this kind of stuff here in America.

Speaker 65 We're two years into this, and we're still putting up with it.

Speaker 89 What happened to us, John?

Speaker 89 We became wimps. Now, in fairness, we're not locking, nailing people into their houses.
No. And we're not as bad even as Australia, which has come close to

Speaker 89 China. On the other hand, those countries have stopped deaths.
And some people think the only thing that matters in life is whether you die of COVID.

Speaker 89 And then China and Australia have winning arguments.

Speaker 89 At the moment, it's three deaths per million people in China, forty in Australia, versus 400 in Denmark and 2,000 per million in the United United States. So

Speaker 89 far, they're saving lives with this repression.

Speaker 35 Yeah, but, I mean, if you want to use that logic, then we should take every car off the road.

Speaker 12 We should take every pool out of every backyard.

Speaker 61 We should take every steak knife out of every dishwasher.

Speaker 61 Very true. And certainly forbid people from driving in the rain.

Speaker 38 John Stossel, always good to talk to you, sir.

Speaker 8 When do you go to court? Do you know?

Speaker 50 400 years from now.

Speaker 95 That's our legal system.

Speaker 117 Good to talk to you, John. Thanks a lot.
You too.

Speaker 68 Yeah, John Stossel

Speaker 71 suing Facebook over defamation.

Speaker 33 And he's absolutely right.

Speaker 67 And that climate group has been responsible for getting us banned or having our hands slapped or whatever it actually turned out to be.

Speaker 47 Remember, there was something, they were claiming that we said something that we never said, we never said, but we quoted something that was accurate that came out of

Speaker 11 a study where in that study,

Speaker 34 they said in that study this particular quote.

Speaker 11 We didn't even know it was in the study.

Speaker 35 We had nothing to do with that quote.

Speaker 25 We weren't quoting it.

Speaker 56 We weren't even holding up the study.

Speaker 61 We were just using that as a footnote on where we got that particular information.

Speaker 34 All the information in the study was accurate.

Speaker 54 That quote is what they disagreed with.

Speaker 8 And they attributed it to us, said

Speaker 65 we were saying that.

Speaker 136 We never said that.

Speaker 58 Yeah. The problem with a lot of these groups is they're just sloppy, let alone ideological and antagonistic to conservative values.

Speaker 58 They're just bad at their jobs, too, which is a pretty big problem when you're talking about the livelihood of a business.

Speaker 58 You know, I mean, you know, John Stossel, you know, as he said, he releases a new video every Tuesday.

Speaker 58 You know, like when you throw him off

Speaker 114 of these platforms, how do you, how do people see them?

Speaker 3 You kill How do people see his work?

Speaker 6 You don't.

Speaker 102 You don't.

Speaker 34 All right, back in just a minute.

Speaker 85 First, let me tell you about Rough Greens.

Speaker 111 Angela writes in about her dog's experience with Rough Greens.

Speaker 35 I ordered Rough Greens a few weeks ago while listening to Glenn Beck on the Blaze.

Speaker 89 Oh, Angela, how sweet.

Speaker 47 My dog, if his dog loved it, I'm sure mine would.

Speaker 89 Well, not necessarily.

Speaker 19 My four-year-old miniature Dachshund, Parker, loved it right away.

Speaker 82 Put it in his bowl, he lapped it up, much to my surprise.

Speaker 89 Quinn, my 14-year-old shepherd boxer mix, was a bit more reluctant, didn't seem enthusiastic at first, but I kept sprinkling it on her food every day.

Speaker 12 And after a week, she eagerly awaited it in the morning.

Speaker 35 Now she's gobbling it down. I've noticed a definite increase in energy in both dogs.

Speaker 17 Thank you so much.

Speaker 70 Angela, you are more than welcome.

Speaker 81 I'm glad your dogs are loving it.

Speaker 61 Although your German Shepherd should be skeptical, and I'm surprised that your miniature dachshund, because I used to have dachshunds and they eat anything.

Speaker 29 But maybe that was just mine.

Speaker 40 Rough greens, not a dog food.

Speaker 79 It's something that you sprinkle on the dog food, and it's a supplement filled with all the things that make your dog healthier and happier.

Speaker 47 Try it.

Speaker 76 Get a free bag of rough greens just to try out.

Speaker 111 See if your dog will eat it.

Speaker 87 Then order the big bag of rough greens and put it on your dog's food for a couple of months and just watch the difference in your dog.

Speaker 76 833-Glenn33-833-Glenn33.

Speaker 36 It's roughgreens.com/slash back.

Speaker 129 10 seconds. Station ID.

Speaker 12 Can we go to the audio

Speaker 23 from,

Speaker 37 I believe it was General Austin for answering a question from Tom Cotton.

Speaker 80 Here it is.

Speaker 155 I understand that you're the principal military advisor, that you advise. You don't decide.
The president decides.

Speaker 155 But if all this is true, General Milley, why haven't you resigned?

Speaker 84 Listen to this.

Speaker 123 Senator,

Speaker 123 as a senior military officer,

Speaker 123 resigning is a really serious thing, and it is a political act if I am resigning in protest. My job is to provide advice.

Speaker 123 My statutory responsibility is to provide legal advice or best military advice to the President, and that is my legal requirement.

Speaker 150 That is what the law is.

Speaker 123 The President doesn't have to agree with that advice. He doesn't have to make those decisions just because we are generals.

Speaker 123 And it would be an incredible act of political defiance for a commissioned officer officer to just resign because my advice is not taken.

Speaker 123 This country doesn't want generals figuring out what orders we are going to accept and do or not.

Speaker 123 That's not our job. Isn't that basic?

Speaker 80 The principles of income

Speaker 81 is absolute.

Speaker 123 It's critical to this republic. In addition to that, just from a personal standpoint,

Speaker 123 my dad didn't get a choice to resign at Iwo Jima. And those kids that are at Abbey Gate, they don't get a choice to resign.
And I'm not going to turn my back on them.

Speaker 123 I'm not going to resign. They can't resign, so I'm not going to resign.
There's no

Speaker 123 If the orders are illegal,

Speaker 59 hold it just a second.

Speaker 80 Stu,

Speaker 125 just because the president won't listen to you doesn't mean you resign.

Speaker 4 I agree with that.

Speaker 23 We don't need, we don't have a country where the country doesn't want a general that resigns every time the president disagrees with him.

Speaker 81 I agree with that.

Speaker 56 However,

Speaker 68 when the president is making decisions that put our troops and our country in danger,

Speaker 62 real danger, and unnecessary danger,

Speaker 67 you should resign.

Speaker 7 You should go, you should lay your stars down on the desk and say, Mr.

Speaker 76 President, I can't be a part of this.

Speaker 85 This is too dangerous for our troops.

Speaker 144 It's not going to work out the way you think it will.

Speaker 6 And all of us have advised you of that.

Speaker 17 And you continue to say that you're going to do it.

Speaker 21 Well, that's fine.

Speaker 34 I just won't put those kids' lives in jeopardy for something this foolhardy because it won't work, sir.

Speaker 70 And if it does, I apologize.

Speaker 76 But all my experience shows, no, it won't.

Speaker 48 You do that for two reasons, in hopes that the president would change his mind.

Speaker 7 And if he doesn't, to be able to warn the people the president is making foolhardy decisions.

Speaker 58 Yeah, I mean, that's kind of, in a way, what General Mattis did. Yes.
Right. I I mean, he did not agree with what was going on and the decision-making being made around Syria.

Speaker 58 And he decided he didn't want to be part of it.

Speaker 126 Right.

Speaker 58 I don't think there was a lot of criticism of Mattis for doing that.

Speaker 58 I mean, you might disagree with his analysis of the situation, but the fact is that if he didn't want to stand by what was going on and the decisions, he didn't want to stand behind those decisions, then removing yourself is a very realistic idea and possibility for a military official.

Speaker 58 And again, he's right in to say that he can't, if it's a legal order, he does need to follow it.

Speaker 43 Correct. Or resign.
Right.

Speaker 34 And that what, which also goes to, then why didn't you tell the president that you were making a phone call to China and saying, hey, listen, he's not going to do anything.

Speaker 138 And if he does, I'll call you first.

Speaker 7 You work directly for the president.

Speaker 13 You are the chief military advisor.

Speaker 142 Did you, as the chief military advisor, go into the Oval Office and said, hey, China is freaking out.

Speaker 76 They think you're going going to bomb them?

Speaker 4 Did you? Did you go?

Speaker 58 He says he went to Esper,

Speaker 58 but we'll see. I mean, we don't know.

Speaker 28 Isn't he the chief advisor for the president?

Speaker 134 I mean, you should go to the president.

Speaker 72 That's kind of important.

Speaker 38 Mr.

Speaker 51 President, China thinks you're going to bomb.

Speaker 35 I mean, I know there's no chance of you. May I just call them and tell them that's not in the cards?

Speaker 124 Of course call them.

Speaker 58 Yeah, and I think the bigger part of that call too is what you just mentioned, which was if we're going to attack you, I will warn you.

Speaker 58 Now he could of course, if he actually did that, there's no doubt it's treason.

Speaker 58 If he calls up underhandedly and warns the Chinese government that we're about to attack them when we're about to attack them, that's absolutely open and shut treason.

Speaker 58 Now, he didn't actually do it, of course, because we weren't going to attack China.

Speaker 58 And so

Speaker 58 we're in a hypothetical land. But really, the answer needs to be that he was lying to China.

Speaker 58 I was telling China whatever I felt like telling them, even though obviously in that real circumstance, I wouldn't call them. It's the only acceptable answer there.
Right?

Speaker 58 It's the only thing, like, it's totally fine for one of our people to call up and say, look, we're never going to spy on you when we are spying on them, right? That stuff happens all the time.

Speaker 58 Honesty is not exactly always the hallmark of foreign affairs. But actually doing it would be, I think, unquestionably treason.

Speaker 37 Honesty, I think, is

Speaker 36 the hallmark.

Speaker 86 You don't make a phone call to lie to somebody.

Speaker 58 But you make it, you could make a phone call.

Speaker 58 You know, look, if he makes a phone call and say, look, I'll absolutely call you if that's going to happen. Now, if we're actually attacking and he calls, that's treason.

Speaker 58 If we actually are attacking and he doesn't call,

Speaker 58 that would not be a surprise.

Speaker 34 No, it wouldn't be, but it would be also, I could see that being something very, very important

Speaker 34 for the president to know.

Speaker 71 The president,

Speaker 69 if he's negotiating with a country, he has to know what all of his people are saying.

Speaker 84 Yeah.

Speaker 14 This is not the Congress.

Speaker 17 It's not the Senate.

Speaker 65 These are his people.

Speaker 58 It's funny you say that because a large portion of this book, Peril, by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, is talking about one of the main issues they found with the Trump administration is that there were so many warring factions inside of it.

Speaker 58 There would be one group saying one thing to China and another group saying something else to China. And Donald Trump, you know, again, this is their analysis of the situation, was

Speaker 58 he liked some of them on one day and he liked the other group on another day.

Speaker 58 So one group would get priority, they would say something to a foreign country, and then the next group would go in there having no idea what group one said and disagree with them.

Speaker 58 And so, there was all these mixed messages, and this is one of the things they claim was frustrating to other countries we were dealing with.

Speaker 101 You can go through whether they believe that or not.

Speaker 58 That's their criticism.

Speaker 126 They're saying that that's a bad thing.

Speaker 58 They're saying that's a bad thing.

Speaker 85 So, if a president said

Speaker 63 to a group of people that burned the country almost to the ground,

Speaker 141 that that's okay and that's you know, that's part of democracy,

Speaker 9 but then

Speaker 94 went and claimed that somebody who came in and did some damage to some windows wasn't trying to burn it down

Speaker 9 and did some damage in the Capitol, those people should be in solitary confinement.

Speaker 43 Those would be mixed messages.

Speaker 74 Totally.

Speaker 23 And that would be

Speaker 126 bad, I thought.

Speaker 58 That's what I was told as well. But you're right.
That's exactly what they did about January 6th. In the call, Millie says to the Chinese, hey,

Speaker 58 I know. You guys, you know, basically, you guys got your dictatorship over there.
We know you would never allow any of this stuff.

Speaker 58 But when you got a democracy, you have to understand these things happen. Sometimes there's going to be riots at the Capitol.
That's essentially

Speaker 58 what Millie told the Chinese to make them calm down about January 6th.

Speaker 58 You guys don't understand culturally this isn't that abnormal. But then it even says in the book, but in reality, General Millie thought this was the worst thing ever.

Speaker 79 Okay, so he was lying to China twice.

Speaker 125 And they can verify that he's a liar now because he said it's no big deal.

Speaker 107 And now, you know, they have TVs and satellite over there.

Speaker 3 They're going to know now.

Speaker 11 They're going to know that he was lying to them.

Speaker 58 And that's why I think the back and forth of this at some level

Speaker 58 is immaterial to whether General Milley should continue in his role. And the answer to that, I think, is absolutely he needs to leave.

Speaker 113 Leave.

Speaker 58 He can't, even if the best case scenario is true here, that he told

Speaker 58 Robert Costa and Bob Woodward about all of this behavior, which shows him to be a liar to China only.

Speaker 58 That's the worst thing he did was he's not a reliable source to our adversaries.

Speaker 65 Anyone.

Speaker 58 If that's true, then he can't be trusted for foreign affairs going forward. Correct.

Speaker 51 He's either lying to China, Bob Woodward, the American people, the press, Donald Trump, or the current administration, or today, Congress.

Speaker 69 No one can rely on the guy, and that guy can't be in that role.

Speaker 81 Correct, correct.

Speaker 85 Back in just a second.

Speaker 85 This is the Glennbach program.

Speaker 22 Wow, did you see Time magazine last week?

Speaker 37 Of course you didn't. Nobody reads that piece of crap.

Speaker 34 But they laid out the potential death of the dollar in kind of a fascinating and terrifying piece last week.

Speaker 9 China opened up its digital currency to foreigners.

Speaker 35 Next year, when they host the Winter Olympic Games, they expect the whole visiting world to utilize their new digital dollar, if you will.

Speaker 35 China estimated to be about 10 years ahead of the United States. Mark my words, we're not 10 years away from digital money.

Speaker 40 When this happens, this is what the article says: other countries are sincerely interested in finding ways to decrease their dependence on the dollar.

Speaker 9 The U.S.

Speaker 4 facing a world in which it may not control or even lead the world's payment systems.

Speaker 29 When that happens, your lifestyle is completely different overnight.

Speaker 9 That's Time magazine, not crazy Glenn Beck.

Speaker 90 I know I'm crazy. Don't listen to me.

Speaker 77 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 10 There is something that's coming out of the world of science.

Speaker 22 They look like they have found physical evidence for one of the most infamous Bible stories, the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Speaker 51 They have been working on this now for about 15 years.

Speaker 111 The city of Sodom is called Tal El-Hamon.

Speaker 9 It was from about 3,600 years ago,

Speaker 94 and it's right...

Speaker 31 right at the edge. It was an urban center, right at the edge of the Dead Sea.

Speaker 94 And we know from the Bible that God destroyed it with fire, right?

Speaker 43 Just

Speaker 105 incinerated the place. Right.
Okay.

Speaker 58 Well, the Bible is so stupid.

Speaker 36 Scientists have been looking now

Speaker 40 at their 15 years worth of excavation.

Speaker 6 And they have found a roughly five foot thick jumbled layer of charcoal, ash, melted mud bricks, and melted pottery.

Speaker 38 They call it the destruction layer.

Speaker 32 As they've been looking into it and what caused it, they believe that it was hit by a meteor, a space rock,

Speaker 11 that was coming in at 38,000 miles an hour to Sodom

Speaker 25 and

Speaker 65 and kind of did some damage.

Speaker 54 They, to, to,

Speaker 83 to

Speaker 8 make this ash and this destruction layer as is, they knew that it had to, whatever happened was, had to hit at least 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit.

Speaker 31 Kind of hot. So we know it wasn't

Speaker 76 like a candle fire.

Speaker 25 Right.

Speaker 75 And what they, what they believe now is that a rock exploded about 2.5 miles above ground,

Speaker 40 listen to this, creating a blast around a thousand times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima

Speaker 72 a thousand times more powerful

Speaker 78 they say the massive shockwave would have followed moving at roughly 740 miles and 740 miles an hour faster than any tornado ever on record it would have demolished every building and killed all inhabitants

Speaker 28 which is kind of what the Bible story says.

Speaker 68 So that's kind of weird.

Speaker 11 By the way, the last thing in the story, just to make your day,

Speaker 19 make you feel a little better.

Speaker 148 Scientists tell us there are currently more than 26,000

Speaker 56 near-Earth asteroids and 100 short-period near-Earth comets that could cause an impact like this on Earth.

Speaker 42 They added one will inevitably crash into the Earth,

Speaker 73 but don't worry about the 26,000 because millions more remain undetected, and some may be headed towards the earth right now.

Speaker 91 Oh, that's good. Yeah.

Speaker 113 What could possibly go wrong?

Speaker 126 Let me ask you something.

Speaker 64 Let me ask you something.

Speaker 13 If I gave you a choice,

Speaker 29 you could live through the rest of your life.

Speaker 11 going through all the stuff that we know is coming. Right.

Speaker 97 Okay.

Speaker 97 Or a giant space rock could come

Speaker 47 and blow up two and a half miles above your head and you'd be vaporized immediately.

Speaker 112 I think I'd be. Immediately.

Speaker 88 Immediately.

Speaker 33 So no pain.

Speaker 26 No, no pain. No, no pain at all.

Speaker 29 You're like, if you're inside,

Speaker 70 maybe you hear the, maybe, maybe you hear the,

Speaker 9 you know, emergency broadcast system go off.

Speaker 43 Maybe.

Speaker 85 And it's like, stations, a giant space.

Speaker 9 And that's all you hear.

Speaker 148 And then you're all vaporized.

Speaker 43 Okay.

Speaker 79 But probably not going to get the EBS system. You know, if you're outside, you might look up and go, what the hell is...

Speaker 42 And then you're dead.

Speaker 104 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 71 Or you could live the rest of your life on the road we're on right now.

Speaker 58 Because there was an interesting movement behind a presidential candidate. recently called Sweet Meteor of Death.

Speaker 50 And

Speaker 58 the idea was that kind of this, like, would you vote for a sweet meteor of death to just come and take us all out and take us out of our never-ending, excruciating pain?

Speaker 3 I think I would survive.

Speaker 50 Well, I don't want to speak for other people.

Speaker 120 I wouldn't want to

Speaker 51 vote for that because, you know, other people would be involved.

Speaker 48 So if I choose the meteor and I knew it was coming, I would say, hey, by the way, you should all leave the area.

Speaker 23 maybe about 25 miles around me because it's coming.

Speaker 81 Now, I don't know if more people would leave or would flock to me.

Speaker 58 They run toward you.

Speaker 79 Yeah, they might run toward me.

Speaker 58 There was a, in the documentary film, Real Genius from 1985,

Speaker 58 there was a defense system created that would bounce lasers off of mirrors in space.

Speaker 58 And then it would come down and it could vaporize a target, a human target from space and space.

Speaker 137 Oh, that's the Jewish, that's the Jewish space laser.

Speaker 124 Yes, Jewish space space laser.

Speaker 58 I know that, you know, in the film, they didn't talk about it being Jewish.

Speaker 115 Yeah, well, but the Jewish space laser is a really good thing.

Speaker 80 Who runs Hollywood?

Speaker 59 You know what I mean?

Speaker 50 That's a great point.

Speaker 3 Right.

Speaker 80 Right.

Speaker 3 Or maybe Jewish, yeah.

Speaker 111 But Jewish space laser.

Speaker 91 So the

Speaker 58 because that's a way of doing that instead of wiping out an entire community with the sweet meter meteor of death, you could do it in an individual laser way and just

Speaker 58 evaporate yourself from society.

Speaker 50 No, I don't want to know it's coming.

Speaker 58 Well, let's just say, well, you said you were going to vote for the sweet meteor of death.

Speaker 52 Oh, and I said I wouldn't because then it would involve other people.

Speaker 57 Right.

Speaker 58 So, what is the solution I'm presenting? One that will not affect other people. This would just be you being vaporized and you're going to be able to do it.

Speaker 54 Maybe we should just give this to like Amazon.

Speaker 29 And so if you're ever talking and you didn't say Siri, you know, it's still listening to you.

Speaker 85 And you'd be like, man, would I just love to be vaporized today?

Speaker 42 Then Siri could have that, and they would report back to, you know, whomever,

Speaker 69 probably right to the head guy there.

Speaker 95 And he'd say, oh, I got the space laser, the Jewish space laser.

Speaker 11 And Siri would say, he wants to be vaporized.

Speaker 73 And then you're just vaporized.

Speaker 58 And you wouldn't simplify things. It would.
I will say.

Speaker 16 It would.

Speaker 58 I will say we would avoid a lot of dumb commentary from from AOC if we were hit with a space laser and didn't have to hear her speaking. That would be one positive of being hit with a Jewish person.

Speaker 28 You know, I never thought of it this way before, but maybe they're not the problem.

Speaker 42 Maybe me being alive and hearing it is the problem.

Speaker 58 The funny thing is, they have thought about that before.

Speaker 58 You may not have.

Speaker 101 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 114 But they have realized that you are the problem.

Speaker 34 Damn it, Stu, could we please talk about science for a second?

Speaker 37 Of course. Okay, let me talk about science.

Speaker 34 This is from the Scientific American.

Speaker 27 The acronym JEDI

Speaker 27 has become a popular term for branding academic committees and labeling STEM science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine initiatives focused on social justice issues.

Speaker 29 Used in this context, JEDI stands for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Speaker 22 This is again from Scientific American.

Speaker 19 Okay.

Speaker 79 In recent years, it has been used and been employed by a growing number of prominent institutions and organizations, including the National

Speaker 11 Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

Speaker 54 At first glance, Jedi might simply appear to be an elegant way to explicitly build justice into the more common formula of DEI,

Speaker 9 an abbreviation for diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Speaker 43 However,

Speaker 11 it shares the name with superheroic protagonist of the science fiction Star Wars franchise.

Speaker 58 Wait, it does? It does. I had only heard it in the scientific

Speaker 58 context.

Speaker 34 And thus, it is inappropriate.

Speaker 60 Wait.

Speaker 58 So D-E-I is something that existed in science. Apparently.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Speaker 88 Yes, yes.

Speaker 58 And they have now changed it to Jedi because people will actually remember it.

Speaker 58 justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. And we can't use Jedi, not because, I thought you were going to say it was a copyright reason.
No. You're saying it's because why?

Speaker 104 Well,

Speaker 34 through its connections to Star Wars, the name Jedi can inadvertently associate our justice work with stories and stereotypes that are a galaxy far, far away from the values of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Speaker 29 So we have to ask ourselves a few questions.

Speaker 125 These connections are, are they, ones that we want to have?

Speaker 40 For instance, the Jedi are inappropriate mascots for social justice.

Speaker 28 They're obstensibly heroes in Star Wars.

Speaker 134 The Jedi are inappropriate symbols, however, for justice work.

Speaker 60 They are a religious order of

Speaker 136 intergalactic police monks, prone to what...

Speaker 58 Can't be real.

Speaker 58 This is a real article?

Speaker 34 This is a real article from Scientific American.

Speaker 15 Oh, it only gets better from here.

Speaker 58 Does it?

Speaker 65 Prone to white

Speaker 38 saviorism and toxic masculine approaches to conflict resolution.

Speaker 58 Princess Leia was toxic masculinity. Oh, she's doing it.

Speaker 148 She is in here.

Speaker 81 Oh, good.

Speaker 85 Oh, she's in here.

Speaker 33 The Jedi are also an exclusionary cult,

Speaker 11 membership to which is partly predicated on the possession of heightened psychic and physical abilities.

Speaker 76 Strikingly, force-wielding talents are narratively explained in Star Wars.

Speaker 46 They're not merely in spiritual terms, also in ableist and eugenic terms.

Speaker 66 These supernatural powers are naturalized as biological hereditary attributes.

Speaker 48 So it is that force potential is framed as a dynastic property of noble bloodlines.

Speaker 11 For instance, the Skywalker dynasty.

Speaker 33 This, I'm not making this up.

Speaker 58 I can't believe this is real.

Speaker 97 Look it up.

Speaker 37 It's in Scientific American.

Speaker 101 Here it is.

Speaker 15 Why the term Jedi is problematic for describing programs that promote justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Speaker 69 Let me take a break while you look it up.

Speaker 126 Verify that it's real.

Speaker 134 Because

Speaker 87 it gets a lot better than this.

Speaker 79 It gets a lot better than this.

Speaker 93 So we'll

Speaker 78 see, look, it has one, two, three, four, five different scientists weighing in on this.

Speaker 55 Okay,

Speaker 58 I have an announcement.

Speaker 81 Okay, wait, no, no, wait, wait.

Speaker 11 Wait for you now.

Speaker 74 Should we wait for your announcement?

Speaker 58 Well, I think I can at least give you this part of it.

Speaker 58 I am praying now for the sweet meteor of death.

Speaker 66 You just found out that it was real.

Speaker 9 I have a challenge for you.

Speaker 61 It's going to take a little bit of your time.

Speaker 9 Not much, but a little. But in the end, probably going to save you a buttload of money.

Speaker 94 Even better, you become a Jedi and you fight for the things that you have value in.

Speaker 38 I want you to make the switch to Patriot Mobile.

Speaker 126 Do it today.

Speaker 79 Do it now so you don't forget.

Speaker 9 You'll thank me later.

Speaker 129 Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative mobile company, and it's on the same towers as all the major carriers, so you get the same great service.

Speaker 59 Although half the cost, Patriot Mobile has affordable,

Speaker 37 customizable plans for families.

Speaker 83 They donate a portion of what they make to conservative causes, unlike the big mobile companies that are donating things like Planned Parenthood.

Speaker 34 Can we stop supporting these companies that we disagree with? Go with a company that is fighting for you and your rights and will give you the same great service.

Speaker 62 And at a fraction of the cost.

Speaker 9 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck. Make the switch today.

Speaker 39 PatriotMobile.com slash back.

Speaker 22 You can call 972 Patriot.

Speaker 9 You'll get free activation with the offer code BECK.

Speaker 38 They have special discounts always for veterans and first responders and for multi-line accounts.

Speaker 121 So I want you to switch right now to patriotmobile.com slash back.

Speaker 34 Patriotmobile.com slash back or 972 Patriot.

Speaker 34 The Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 35 I'm just reading again from Scientific American why the term Jedi is problematic for describing programs that promote justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Speaker 85 That's becoming popular to say that those warriors are Jedis, and they're saying this is really bad.

Speaker 96 Very inappropriate.

Speaker 26 They're intergalactic police monks.

Speaker 35 And they also gaslight people by means of Jedi mind tricks.

Speaker 115 I'm quoting.

Speaker 61 Jedis are also an exclusionary cult, membership to which is partly predicated on the possession of heightened psychic and physical abilities, force sensitivity.

Speaker 78 And these are not just merely spiritual terms, but also biological and hereditary attributes.

Speaker 37 The Skywalker dynasty

Speaker 73 is part of that.

Speaker 55 But

Speaker 58 how could anyone write this?

Speaker 111 Star Wars, oh, it took five scientists to write this.

Speaker 9 Star Wars also has a problematic cultural legacy.

Speaker 17 The space opera franchise has been critiqued for trafficking in injustices such as sexism, racism, and ableism.

Speaker 7 Think, for example, of the so-called Slave Leah costume,

Speaker 56 infamous for stripping down and chaining up the movie series first leading woman as part of an Oriolent or

Speaker 6 Orientalist subplot.

Speaker 63 I didn't know it was an Orientalist subplot.

Speaker 79 I had no idea.

Speaker 58 But the Leia thing is presented negatively. No one thinks that it's a good idea to chain people up in the movie.

Speaker 135 He's the evil villain.

Speaker 134 They're making it like an Orientalist subplot.

Speaker 58 So wait, it's bad because

Speaker 58 Oriental populations chain their women up, and therefore, we shouldn't criticize Oriental populations.

Speaker 8 I am shocked that you would even use that word.

Speaker 134 I was talking about an Orientist subplot.

Speaker 58 Well, luckily, you can't say it. So, exactly, you're not guilty.

Speaker 51 I'm not getting in trouble.

Speaker 58 You're not guilty. I'm not guilty.

Speaker 35 Yeah, I can't say it.

Speaker 30 And he's just throwing around these Oriental people.

Speaker 94 I don't even know what you mean, Stu.

Speaker 58 You did just say it.

Speaker 85 So, I guess, quoting you, I guess, I guess, so because

Speaker 72 it is trying to make this look like

Speaker 70 something that would have happened in Asia.

Speaker 135 Right. Thank you.

Speaker 58 And that's true. The problem is not that they change her up.
The problem is that we're criticizing a foreign culture.

Speaker 65 I think.

Speaker 37 That's what it means.

Speaker 70 We haven't even gotten to the good stuff.

Speaker 74 We'll have to start the show with this tomorrow. We should.

Speaker 58 But the best stuff is that, yes.

Speaker 58 Even though I feared in the middle of that segment you were reading from the Babylon Bee, this is an actual real article from five scientists in Scientific American.

Speaker 34 Scientific American. Remember when they used to talk about scientific stuff?

Speaker 9 Yeah, and not Jedi nights? This is the Glennbach program.

Speaker 158 Martha listens to her favorite band all the time.

Speaker 108 In the car,

Speaker 108 gym,

Speaker 90 even sleeping.

Speaker 158 So when they finally went on tour, Martha bundled her flight and hotel on Expedia to see them live.

Speaker 116 She saved so much, she got a seat close enough to actually see and hear them.

Speaker 116 Sort of.

Speaker 153 You were made to scream from the front row.

Speaker 90 We were made to quietly save you more.

Speaker 158 Expedia, made to travel. Savings vary and subject to availability, blight-inclusive packages are at all protected.
