Yesterday I did a show on
the economy and what was coming our way.
And please pay attention
because we are entering a new world and the the economy is not doing well.
They're going to raise interest rates.
You see this?
The Fed said they're going to start tapering,
and they're going to raise interest rates early next year.
Well, it seems like the economy is in really good shape, so
this is the time to do it.
Yeah, the only reason why they're doing this is inflation.
The last time they did tapering,
the economy went into a tailspin.
And now, if they raise interest rates, the economy could go into a tailspin.
That That shows you that they know that inflation is out of control.
So, interest rates are going up.
Now is the time to refinance your house, to get a mortgage, to get a consolidation loan.

Okay, 15 seconds, and
the national radio program begins.
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This
is
the Glenback Program.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenback Program.
I want to talk to you a little bit about this
weird Alice in Wonderland world that we are finding ourselves in.
I want to ask you, what are the biggest issues of the day?
And then I want to play some audio from those in Washington.
It's the craziest damn thing I've ever seen.
We go there in 60 seconds.
The Glenn Beck program.
Relief Factor
is here to relieve your pain.
Works for about 70% of the people who try it.
Costs you about 20 bucks to try the three-week quick start trial pack.
That will tell you whether or not it's going to make an impact.
If it's not changing anything in you, it's probably not going to.
But they take four different things, you know, all these Ibiprofen 800.
It works one direction, one way.
It hits certain things,
but not others.
There are like four different ways to attack inflation
or yeah, inflammation.
Sorry, you can tell what I have on my mind.
Inflammation.
And
Relief Factor puts all four of them together.
So there's a good shot that this works for you.
Please give it a try.

So what are the biggest issues?
I would say the border, right?
Border is a big one.
What are they doing?
What are they doing on the border?
Here's Maxine Waters Cut 7.
I'm unhappy.
And I'm not just unhappy with the cowboys who were running down Haitians and using their reins to whip them.
I'm happy with the administration.
We are following the Trump policy.
He is the one that does not follow the Constitution and would not allow those seeking refuge to be able to petition to get into the country.
What the hell are we doing here?
What we witnessed takes us back hundreds of years.
What we witnessed was worse than what we witnessed in slavery.
Stop for just a second.
Now, that might sound like hyperbole or somebody who doesn't have any idea of what they're talking about.
Every time you say, these are the seeds of what were planted in Germany, you get attacked.
How dare you say that?
Do you know what that was like?
Yes, I do, and that's why I think we should stop it.
She's saying that being chased on horses at the border because you're coming here illegally,
that's worse than slavery.
Maxine, you're either out of your mind or slavery wasn't so bad.
Which one is it?
I know exactly which one it is.
I do too, but I don't think she does.
Yeah.
Okay, so let's say next big story would be what?
Terrorism and Afghanistan and the Taliban and what's going on there,
getting people out,
people on the border that are coming through.
Next hour, I'm going to give you something from Biden's first border security chief.
The warning he is giving America on what is coming across our border is stark and hair raising.
So let's find out.
What's our FBI director worried about today?
We do collect information very much about, I think, the category that you're describing, we put in the category of racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism, of which the biggest chunk by far
is
racial or ethnic motivation favoring white supremacy.
And so we collect information about that threat.
We have, as you say, prioritized that threat at a national threat priority level.
Okay.
So they're concentrating on domestic terrorism because it has exploded, and they're focusing on white supremacy.
I think that's all what everybody in America is thinking.
That's what the problem is, and they should be concentrating on that one.
How about this?
The economy.
Gas is up a dollar, up a dollar since this guy got into office.
Your groceries are going through the roof.
Meats up like 25%.
Are they worried about inflation?
Are they talking about inflation?
No, they're talking about
global warming.
We've got to get rid of gas and oil.
We've got to change the way our food is produced so it's sustainable.
So much This is so important to them that even genocide doesn't matter.
Here's John Kerry in an interview with Bloomberg.
He's asked about the switch off between working with China to combat climate change versus not working with China because they're committing genocide against the Uyghurs.
Here's what he says.
Another issue related to China is importing of solar panels, because clearly a priority of the Biden administration is really addressing climate, but it's not the only priority.
There are other things as well, such as the Uyghur situation in the West.
What is the process by which one trades off climate against human rights?
Well, life, you know, life is always full of tough choices
in the relationship between nations.
Yes, we have issues, a number of different issues.
But first and foremost, this planet must be protected.
We all need to do that for our people, the population of China, 1.4 billion people.
They care about clean air, clean water.
They want a planet that is respected and that they can look to for future generations.
And they need that as much as we do.
So the hope is that if our cooperation can come forward on this issue, that could perhaps open the door to saying, you know what, we did it there.
Let's see if we can find a way to deal with cyber or deal with nuclear or deal with some of these other issues.
The Uyghurs.
And I believe there are clearly other areas where cooperation could produce something.
Yeah, I know a lot of people, the Uyghurs in particular, are very concerned about clean air at the concentration camps they live in.
Clean water, they'd like to have clean water.
They'd like to have any water.
Yeah.
You know, that would be great.
That'd be nice.
That would be great.
They'd also like to be able to go outside when they wanted to.
He actually compared
what he's doing to Ronald Reagan and Gorbachev.
He said they had big differences, but they sat down and they worked it out.
Hmm.
Yeah,
that's a bad comparison.
It's one way to look at it.
It's completely incorrect.
Well, I mean, I don't know which one's worse.
Is genocide worse or is a 0.8% Celsius temperature rise over a century worse?
I don't know.
I mean, they're basically
saying to me.
It is hard to tell.
It really is.
It really is.
Because you could see, obviously, over the past century how much worse life has become.
Climate has really been the story of the past century.
I want to read something.
This is from Congressman Billy Long.
He's from Missouri, the 7th congressional district,
and he's written an op-ed for the Washington Examiner.
Imagine this.
You're taking your weekly trip to the grocery store.
As the grocery store clerk tells you, the total for groceries.
Your first thought is, no, there's got to be a mistake.
It can't be that much.
But you pay, you push your card off to the side, you recheck the total item by item, and then sticker shock sets in.
The clerk hasn't made an error.
Welcome to America, Biden-Harris style.
Hello, inflation.
After cooking a high-price breakfast in the morning, you head into work and notice the gas gauge is either broken or you're near empty.
But gas is up 74% since January 20th.
Now you realize that filling up is no longer an option.
You tell the gas station cashier, yes, $15 on pump 12.
Now with your gas gauge registering at just over a quarter of a tank, you hear on the radio that Americans are stranded at the mercy of terrorists in the Middle East.
And now the world's greatest superpower has been rendered feckless.
Like many Americans, you're thinking, what in the world is happening to America?
And how did it decline so severely in eight short months?
I remember Jimmy Carter's presidency well.
And as Yogi Berra would often say, it's like deja vu all over again.
Those of us who lived through Carter's presidency felt positive that he would always be considered the worst president in our lifetime.
Unfortunately, he has lost that title to our current president, Joe Biden.
Today, inflation is hurting middle-class families.
Excessive government spending is crippling our economy.
A disastrous foreign policy is leaving Americans stranded.
And China and Russia will soon be able to reverse engineer $85 billion of our military hardware that we left to the Taliban.
Biden campaign on building back better.
The reality is, nothing has been better since he and Vice President Kamala Harris took office.
In fact, they and their team of Obama administration holdovers are actively working against the interests of the country.
For their dereliction of duty in the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, their total capitulation to China and other adversaries, their calamitous open border policies, their disastrous disastrous fiscal policies, their servitude to the radical woke left, and their utter failure to lead the nation, Biden and Harris should resign.
Biden's not up to the job of being president.
It's a 24-7 job, and he has neither the mental acuity nor physical stamina to do it.
When presented with options from intelligence officials and from those in Congress with knowledge of the situation in Afghanistan, Biden either failed to understand or completely ignored their concerns and advice.
Instead, he executed a knee-jerk, politically motivated, botched operation.
From commanding officers, people in the country, his intelligence community, the Pentagon, the CIA, the State Department, and the intelligence committees on both sides of the Capitol, he was warned that the only way to get our embassy personnel, each American wanted to leave, and our Afghan interpreters, to get them out safely, the only way would be to use Bagram Bagram Air Force Base.
When we vacated Bagram, it was a fatal error, as had been predicted.
To add insult to
injury, Biden's State Department gave the Taliban all the leverage in the world to take advantage of the delicate situation.
Most people realize that you can't negotiate with terrorists.
Biden handed them the entire country of Afghanistan and our state-of-the-art military equipment on a silver platter.
As a result, several Americans are are stranded in Afghanistan.
The Taliban now has U.S.
weaponry and 13 American service members paid the ultimate price.
All of this could have been prevented.
To make matters worse, Harris claims she was the last person in the room when the decision was made to withdraw from Afghanistan to meet a photo op arbitrary deadline.
If that's the case, she bears responsibility as well.
In addition, the President and Vice President have abdicated their duty to secure our southern border.
Record numbers of migrants are pouring into our country.
The drug and human trafficking business are booming.
All the administration had to do with respect to the border policies was nothing.
President Donald Trump was building the wall and the Remain in Mexico policy was deterring illegal crossings.
We saw dramatic improvements.
Because they were Trump policies, the Biden administration hates everything Trump did no matter what.
We are now back to the dangerous open border days.
This administration's incompetence and craven political nature are making people less safe.
Meanwhile, in communist China, it's on the rise, forming an open alliance with the Taliban.
Russia is getting an oil pipeline while American jobs are being destroyed along with the Keystone pipeline.
The Biden administration has already passed over a trillion dollars of deficit spending with another $3.5 trillion proposed.
It's bankrupting our country with a progressive wish list.
Furthermore, in an attempt to continue to politicize the COVID-19 pandemic, the Biden administration now wants to mandate that all federal employees, workers at entities receive federal funding, and workers at any private business with over 100 employees take the vaccine.
Biden even said verbatim that this was no longer about freedom or personal choice.
His administration wants to control your life and impose government regulations on your personal freedoms.
This is a notion straight out of the communist handbook.
I've always encouraged people to seriously consider talking to their doctor as to whether to take the vaccine or not.
Receiving the vaccine should always remain a personal choice.
When Republicans take back the House and the Senate, we will hold this entire administration accountable.
In the meantime, someone must be held responsible for the disastrous state of our government.
If the Democrats can impeach Trump for a phone call, Biden and Harris must be removed for their total and complete dereliction of duty.
If the Democrats in Congress won't do their jobs and remove them, the president and the vice president should do the right thing for the country for once and resign immediately.
That is from Congressman Billy Long from Missouri.
Now, I just want you to know, while I agree with all of that, that leaves Nancy Pelosi as president of the United States.
That may not be the best idea.
But with that, it is hard to say that
he should remain in office doing this job the way he's doing it.
And she's obviously a big part of this.
Do you know
his approval ratings are lower than hers now?
Do you remember well?
She's in some ways playing this in a smart way politically.
She's just trying to not be seen.
She's trying to make you forget she's vice president.
Yes, she has nothing to do with this.
Yes, you know, everyone's like, where is she?
Well, she's being smart.
She's hiding.
Wouldn't you?
Yes.
Thanks, Kamala.
Yes, I would.
Yes, I would.
She is, she is
side by side with
this president, though.
And for him to have lower approval ratings than she has, do you remember just what, two months ago, three months ago, the beginning of the summer,
they were having meetings in Washington because her approval ratings were so low, they didn't know what to do about it.
And they had all these meetings with all of these PR people.
What can we do to get her approval rating up?
Because
she can't survive this.
His are now lower than hers.
And that's with the press really not holding their feet to the fire at all.

10 seconds, station ID.
7 in 10 now view the chaos on the U.S.-Mexico border as a crisis and blame President Joe Biden and the media for it.
70% feel the border is a disaster, and by the margin of 54 to 37, most likely voters believe that a crisis was created by Biden and not Donald Trump.
I can't believe 54 to 37.
How is this caused by Donald Trump?
Biden gets few points for reversing the Trump plan.
13% call his performance excellent.
13.
Wow.
Yeah.
Shooting for the sky there.
There's probably 13% of this population that's in his administration.
There's 13.
There's 13%.
There's more than 13% believe we didn't land on the moon.
I think I'm much more skeptical of the moon landing than I am of this president doing a good job.
67% say his handling of the issue has been poor to fair, with over half, 52, rating it as poor.
Now, here's the key.
The media coverage is just as bad.
73% disapprove of the media coverage, which only started to focus on the border as 15,000 migrants, many from Haiti, camped out under a Texas border bridge.
What would this be like if they covered it like a real news story?
Because they covered it like a real news story, and I think it was like March for a week.
And his approval rating on the border went through the floor, as you'd expect.
And then they,
and honestly, you can give them somewhat of a pass here as there have been non-stop, various catastrophes they've also had to cover from Afghanistan and everything else.
Well, let's not call them catastrophes.
Let's call them what they are.
Humanitarian crises.
Yes, he has many of those, though I would also include things like inflation and spending and violent crime across the nation and all the other things that have popped up, the numerous scandals that we've had in this administration in just a few months.
So they've been all over the place and they haven't done a good job of covering those either.
But the border started in March and it's continued.
and gone off the charts ever since to the point where the government actually had to adjust the top of their chart of how many people were crossing the border.
They went literally off the charts, and they had to make the chart bigger to fit the numbers of people crossing the border.
And it has gone on non-stop since March and has totally left the media coverage until this new under-the-bridge situation pops up.
And they're not really covering what's going on.
Did you hear that the buses that the United States is providing to ship them to the airplane or wherever, they're now hijacking.
They have hijacked the buses.
What?
Yeah.
Hijack the buses.
It's like con air.
We are screwed.
This is the Glenback program.
There aren't too many dog owners or pet owners out there that don't want the absolute best for their best friend.
Your dog is part of the family.
You want him to live a long and healthy life and be at his happiest.
What he eats has a lot to do with that.
And if he's eating dog food, especially kibble food, he's not getting all the nutrients he needs.
Here's some good news.
Rough greens.
It's not a dog food, but rather a supplement that you sprinkle on the dog food.
And it's chock full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, you name it.
If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in rough greens.
Most dogs love it and will go crazy for it.
That's how my dog Uno
That's how he is.
He loves it.
Pickiest eater I've ever seen until the day we sprinkled some rough greens on his food.
Try it out now for your dog.
Make sure they'll eat it.

Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glen Beck program.
Pat Gray is joining us from Pat Gray Unleashed.
Now,
Pat, I just thought I'd give you some breaking news.
Haiti is very upset with us now.
Oh, no.
Yeah, they're saying that it was inhumane to just put people on a plane and ship them over.
Wow.
I kind of agree with them, actually, because these people were not from Haiti.
They had gone.
Many of them.
Many of them
had gone away from Haiti, and now they're going to a place that they really don't know.
They were already going to a place they don't know.
We should be clear.
That's true.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't have, it's hard to have all that much sympathy for someone who is trying to come here to break our laws and get into our country and winds up back in their home country.
Except our own nation is inviting them.
Yes.
It's more complicated than that.
It's more complicated than that.
I just wanted to point out another country is mad at us.
Wait, no, no.
Actually,
we're back.
America's back.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
We're back.
People love us again.
The respect we demand is now here after Donald Trump ruined it.
You sure he didn't say America is turning its back?
No.
I don't think so.
America is back, and that's why you can keep continuing to kick us in the ass?
Is that
our face?
That's our back.
A kick-me sign on the back of us?
It's not good.
So
yesterday there was a White House squabble with Boris Johnson.
You know, they took the questions
and Boris said, yeah, BBC.
And he takes a question.
Like any leader would do in this situation.
Having all the time.
No.
I have never seen it.
Has it ever happened?
I don't think so.
Questions from the media?
No, questions from another.
He taking charge of it and then asking for the questions.
Has that ever happened before?
Where he takes over for the American president and just starts answering questions.
Well, usually what happens is they both get questions.
Yes, right.
Yes.
But it's usually the president who would say, yeah, let's open it.
But he's so out of it that I think Boris
control.
I don't think he is that out of it.
You know, I am comfortable saying he is out of it.
I am comfortable saying that.
But
I don't know.
I'll go back and forth a little bit on this.
Yeah, I'm not convinced that he's not very lucid when they, you know, jack him up with drugs or something like that.
Oh, at some points of the day, yes.
But if you go later in the day, which is why he doesn't, then he's, you know, the medication is worn off.
He's getting a little tired.
And then the dementia creeps back in.
Yeah.
I mean,
there's definitely moments where he's having major problems with this stuff.
Oh, yeah.
I'm reading Peril, this Bob Woodward Robert Costa book that's out, and, you know, the one that talked about Mark Milley calling over to China.
That's kind of what that's how the book starts, that whole exchange.
But if you were to say that, what is the one defining characteristic that this book is trying to
push across?
Like, what is it trying to communicate to you?
Obviously, there's stuff about Trump in there and how bad he is, because that's a large focus focus of it.
But if there's one thing they're trying to push down your throat in this book, I would say is that Joe Biden is totally engaged in all of this.
Oh, you got to be kidding me.
I mean, that is every single one of these scenarios.
They go on and on and on and on about how engaged he is, how many questions he asked, how much he wanted to know every little detail.
His staff was so annoyed with him because he kept asking for all of the little minuscule details.
B.S.
That's B.S.
I don't believe it.
So then it's Bob Woodward, who, you know, I don't have a problem saying, you know,
doesn't necessarily tell the truth and all his reports.
Right.
Could just be fake, right?
It could just be what they're trying to get across.
Now, what's interesting is that.
That makes him just a tool, though.
That makes that whole book simply a tool and Bob Woodward a tool.
Yeah, I love it.
I don't think I'm the first one that said that Bob Woodward's a tool.
Woodward, though, takes real sources.
and basically believes what they tell him.
So it's.
No matter what.
Yeah, and mostly, and mostly no matter what.
So like he'll get five aides from the Biden administration, right, that tell him Joe Biden is super engaged and hears all these stories.
What I found interesting about it, though, was the book was written, for example, before Afghanistan turns into a catastrophe, right?
Yeah.
Before
the fourth wave of COVID, right?
At this point, they're thinking, oh, he's solved these problems.
Oh, he's going to get us out of Afghanistan.
And it's a way of showing Biden as super engaged to take credit for all the wonderful things he's about to accomplish.
Well, we now know all those things fell apart.
Well, his aides are liars, and you know they are.
Yeah, I think that's true, though.
That's a legitimate thing.
And you look at the Boris Johnson, Joe Biden meeting the other day.
As soon as Johnson takes a breath, His people are ushering the press out of there because they don't want Biden to be subjected to any kind of questioning.
They know he can't do it.
He's incapable of handling it.
And so as soon as they can jump in in mid-sentence from Boris Johnson, they rush everybody out of it so nobody has a chance to get it.
Play that audio.
Here's the weird.
It is.
Here's the audio.
That's the.
Okay, we're all done.
And Biden just looks at it like he's confused.
Yeah.
It's one of the okay, the press conference is over.
You stand up, you shake Boris's hand, you say something into his ear, you act like you're on your phone.
I don't know, anything other than just sitting there staring.
But they know they must prevent disaster.
And so that's how they handle it.
They're shutting off his, sometimes in the middle of his, his,
well, it's not in the middle, but at the end of his press conferences when he starts to go off of script, they will just turn off the feed.
Yeah, and it's done that multiple times.
And to go back to this book for a quick second,
they do show him as hyper-engaged in the policy details, the behind-the-scenes negotiations, all that.
However, they also, the book confirms something that we said throughout the entire campaign, which was they, yes, they literally did build a wall around him so that he would not have moments with the press.
He would not have questions that would surprise him.
They said they built a wall around him to avoid longer interviews because they knew eventually he would say something that got into the press and screwed something up.
And they basically confirmed that, yes, he was hiding and using COVID to hide.
In his basement.
In his basement so that none of this stuff would happen.
Oh, my God.
And just let Donald Trump
be the focus of the campaign.
Let him say his stuff.
Let him tweet his stuff.
Let him do everything.
Don't make news.
And that was the, look, and I, we said at the time, I think that's a smart way for Joe Biden to run a campaign because he's obviously terrible.
And anytime anyone thinks about him, they can't vote for him.
So the only hope was make this all about Donald Trump 24 hours a day and act as if you're not even running for president.
And that's what they did.
So I think the next shoe to fall, and
I don't know.
I mean, he could screw anything up.
We could be in nuclear war tomorrow
with France.
The next shoe-to-fall, I think, is the economy.
If you look at what's happening yesterday, the Fed announced, now the Fed came out, the Fed chair came out, what, six months ago, and said, we're not even going to think of interest rates until 2022, 2023.
Okay, that's a long way off.
Yesterday, they said they were going to end tapering, which is, you know, end the free money giveaway.
They're going to end tapering.
The nightly thing that they give away to the 12 banks?
No, not that.
They're not going to end that.
They don't want to end that.
No, this is the $50 billion a night to 12 banks.
I know, I know.
Trillion dollars a month.
Still, they are,
they're, they're
going to taper off on their buying buying of stocks and bonds okay to keep the thing going the last time they did that the stock market went down dramatically and everything took a bath okay so that's a bad sign uh then the at the same time they said we're going to end we're going to end this we're also going to raise interest rates next year
wow
So they're going a year early
and they've already made this statement where it's not even on on the table.
Now, suddenly, it's on the table, and they're going to do it next year.
The economy is inflation is through the roof.
5.3% that they're admitting to.
It's probably worse than that.
And it will be worse than that by the end of the year.
I mean, we're fortunate that it's not 40%
right now.
And, you know,
that could be in the future.
I mean, and I think probably this was the first show that anyone in the audience, unless you're super into finance, heard about this Chinese company that is going under, it seems.
Evergrande, is it?
Yeah.
And they
are now not paying employees.
Like, this thing seems like it's,
you know,
it's going out of control.
And it's a fairly good thing.
It's the Lehman brothers of China.
They have hundreds of billions of dollars in debt, and it looks like they're not going to be able to make payments on it.
Right.
And just that sort of force
with an economy that's tied in like it is now, it's going to affect
an empty city?
They're the ones who are building it.
That's the reason why they're going to be able to do it.
Build a new giant city that no one will live in.
There's always a solution.
So if they go down, we have almost 90 ships off the coast of California trying to get into the Los Angeles port.
90 cargo ships.
For Los Angeles to get backed up,
they used to say one cargo ship is a really bad thing.
One cargo ship waiting.
They want to move these things in and move them out.
They can't get people to truck it.
They can't get people to move it.
I mean,
no employees.
We have 90 cargo ships.
So if you're waiting for something,
has anybody else noticed you're waiting all the time?
Somebody came to the house because, you know, I'm two weeks away from finishing construction at my house.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Wow.
So finally, it's going to, there's light at the end of the tunnel.
There's light at the end of the tunnel.
So somebody came yesterday and they were giving me an estimate on something that will definitely happen in the next two weeks.
So we're all done.
And
I said,
well,
when is this?
They said,
no idea.
And I said, what do you mean, no idea?
And they said, I know, I hate saying that because I seem incompetent, but I'm telling you,
the suppliers will not even give us an estimate on when it will come in.
Oh, my gosh.
And I said, have you ever lived in a time in America where this has happened?
And she's she's like, no, never.
Never.
Now, I started thinking today about
if you're going to do Christmas shopping, I want to get that done early this year.
Yeah.
You know, they're going to be shortages.
They're going to be shortages of all these things, right?
When we get, when if you're trying to buy toys for kids and stuff, it's already difficult if it's a hot toy.
This might be, I'm, I'm a total procrastinator when it comes to Christmas shopping, but this is the year I think I might pull the trigger early.
I'm having a really hard time finding a Teddy Ruxpin.
I really like it.
Yeah.
I can't find him anywhere.
Yeah.
Wow.
Really?
Wow.
And I've been shopping early for it.
I'm 12.
For my adult children.
I need a
Teddy Ruxpin.
Don't your adult children run your cookie company?
They actually do.
And you're buying them Teddy Ruxpin.
Yes.
Yeah.
They just run the company, but they're not that mature.
Well, they are cookie companies.
It's a cookie.
It's a cookie company.
I think this cookie should be four pounds.
That's the sort of decision-making you're getting over there.
And those are good decisions.
Very good decisions over at Kexie.
Car Shield.
You might get away with rolling a dice for a while after your car warranty goes out, but you know,
something bad is going to happen.
Your car, you know, would be the first in history just to keep running forever.
So something is going to happen.
And right now, with the chip shortage and everything else, it could cost you a fortune.
Your car is going to need repairs.
And when it does, you know, you've got to be covered under something.
If your car is not under warranty, you don't want to even look at the bill.
Now, for covered repairs with Car Shield, it's the best.
They take care of the repair with your choice of mechanic.
You get roadside assistance.
You get a rental car.
It's going to be a breeze.
It'll save you thousands of dollars.
And
you don't have to write any checks.
Car Shield, it's a win-win.
They have put me back on track when I've been
in a pinch with two of my trucks up at the farm that are, you know, all long out of warranty.
I have Car Shield, and they are going to drive until their doors fall off.
I'm not sure if that one's covered.

This is the Glenn Beck program.
Last night on the Wednesday night special, we ran out of time.
I had to cut a bunch of stuff, including the solutions section.
And it's really important.
Last night I laid out how things are are going to change here in America.
We are no longer going to be energy independent.
And I don't mean like that usually means, you know, we're going to depend on OPEC.
I mean you can't, you're going to be dependent on the federal government now.
The federal government is doing everything they can to phase out gas and natural gas.
and coal-fire energy.
At the same time, by 2030, we'll be, all of the fleet, all of the cars that you can buy will all be electric.
All of them will be electric by 2030.
That's going to cause all kinds of problems.
So it would seem like some futuristic prediction, but these companies are literally changing their factories right now to do this.
Like they are making the last versions of the cars with combustion and Ferrari.
General Motors,
but you're right.
Ferrari, even Ferrari.
I mean, like
the racing, the companies that are known for their engines gone by 2030.
And all of the consumer level stuff.
Yes.
You know, no one, you know, Ferraris or Ferraris, like they could, they could be crazy, right?
But we're talking about like, you know, Ford and General Motors and every car.
I'll tell you, you know,
people talk about what do I do with my money?
You know, there's, I was thinking about buying, what is it, the new charger?
I think it is.
There's a Hellcat, maybe.
The Hellcat?
The Hellcat Red Line.
Yeah.
And I mean, I don't...
I don't have any reason to have a Hellcat, but that's the last of
the real engines.
You know, a V8 engine, a big block American engine.
And those things are going to go up in value because there will always be somebody that wants a big,
fast American muscle car.
And they're not going to be building them.
I mean, this is it.
Anything when turn it on, you room,
that's gone soon, very, very soon.
By 2030, it will not be made.
And I believe by 2022, 23, you won't find those anymore.
It'll all be electric assist hybrids right away.
By 2025, they're going to start weaning those out and it'll be all electric by 2030.
And some of those cars are great.
There's no question about it.
But, you know, this is something lost of the American experience when you're getting rid of big combustion engines.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, that's, you know, it's that's America.
Right.
And you're going to have a problem with energy, energy shortages because of that.
I want to get into some of these things a little later on in the program, probably in hour number three, because it's really important for you to prepare for what's coming.
And what's coming is
it looks a lot like Venezuela to me, but what do i know we're gonna talk about the border next
this is the glenbeck program
hello america and welcome to the glenbeck program uh
biden's handling of the border is just remarkable it's yet another humanitarian crisis i don't i don't know how many How many humanitarian crises can this guy cause in his first year?
Bad on the border.
Very, very bad.
We have somebody who is down in Mexico currently, Todd Bensman.
He is the author of America's Covert Border War, national security fellow of the Center for Immigration Studies.
He posted yesterday a picture of all these IDs all over the ground as people are just discarding their IDs.
Why?
What's really going on on the border?
Todd Bensman joins us in 60 seconds.
Richard writes in.
He says, Glenn, I've been taking Relief Factor for approximately three months, and my recovery from pain has been remarkably faster ever since I started taking it.
I've even had days when I'm totally pain-free.
I can tell you, after several back surgeries, I never thought it would be possible.
Thank you, Relief Factor.
Richard, I'm glad to hear that.
It's amazing what Relief Factor is doing for people all over the country, what it's done for me.
I'm glad it's working for you, Richard.
Relief Factor, it's not a drug, but developed by doctors, and about 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
Order the three-week quick start for only $19.95.
See if it works for you.
I take it three times a day.
I've been taking it three times a day for a couple of years.
It's Relief Factor.

800-500-8384, it's relief factor.com.
The author of America's Covert Border War, senior national security fellow, the Center for Immigration Studies.
His name is Todd Bensman.
Welcome back to the program.
Todd, how are you?
I'm doing great.
A little bit tired, but doing well.
Thank you.
Yeah.
So you have been on the border.
Tell us what the media is not showing us.
There are a few things.
One is that
the camp is almost empty.
Well, it's about a quarter of what it was, or about 4,000 left in it.
It's going to close up here probably in the next week or so.
But the other thing is that
most of the Haitians that are coming are not fleeing earthquakes in Haiti, and they're not fleeing presidential assassination or even grinding poverty.
They
have been living in Chile and Brazil for many years, the ones that are coming in prosperity, relative prosperity, and with resident cards and with permission to work in those countries.
And they saw the Biden
opening, the Biden administration opening the border back in January, February, and they started to come en masse.
And that is really what is behind this, that these people are not asylum seekers like a lot of Democrats are saying, lawmakers on the progressive left talking about, you know, we have to bring in these poor people who are in dire straits.
They are not in dire straits at all.
And I think people need to understand that when they apply for asylum, they will be lying.
and committing mass asylum fraud because they're going to skip over the fact that they were living safely and securely in these other countries.
And that is why I'm finding identification cards all over the Mexican bank.
I see these cards you took a picture of yesterday.
They're all IDs.
They all seem to be from Chile.
A few passports from Brazil.
They just discard them.
Why all of a sudden in Chile?
I mean, Chile is a good country.
It's a nice place to live.
Why all of a sudden is everybody trying to abandon Chile to come to the Haitians to come to America?
Well, I'll put it this way.
I was in Costa Rica reporting on
the international nature and makeup of the new migration that's coming to the border from 100 different countries, including the Arab Middle East and countries of terrorism concern all over the world coming right through that area.
And I interviewed a Haitian who I asked him that question.
I said, you you know,
what's the difference between Haiti and Chile?
And he says, well, life is a thousand times better here in Chile.
I said, well, why would you leave a life that's a thousand times better in Chile?
And he says, because life in America is a million times better.
I mean, in Haiti, it is a million times better than in Chile.
So.
It's an upgrade.
They're just simply going from good to what they think will be better.
And that is a far cry from an asylum claim of government persecution.
And it's a really far cry from what progressive lawmakers and immigration advocates are claiming is desperate poverty and dire straits.
None of these people were in desperate poverty.
They were making a living.
They may not have been rich, but they were working class and middle class.
And some of them did really quite well.
You can see it.
They're flying around the country on aerotickets.
Did they organize this on their own?
Why?
It seems weird that all of a sudden all these Haitians show up at the same place at the same time.
Okay, I can explain that.
I spent a lot of time with Haitians, really drilling down into their stories, their very recent stories.
Here's, I'm going to try to give you the quick version because I know you've got only so much time, but
the Biden administration asked the Mexican government some time ago to station its National Guard on the southern border with Guatemala to slow and to slow roll the number of immigrants coming from Mexico, from Guatemala through Mexico to the U.S.
border.
And the Mexicans did that with a kind of bureaucratic
molasses,
requiring
these Haitians to apply for temporary permission slips to be in Mexico and asylum and different kinds of things.
And they weren't getting an answer for months on end.
They're just stuck down in Tapachula on the border there until thousands of them built up.
And what they told me is that on September 12th, while they were all waiting three, four, five, six months, and they were getting very antsy and causing disruptions in the area, they were told that the Mexican government said
that the Mexican government just said, forget it.
You can all go now for the Mexican independence holiday of the week of
September 16.
You can go without papers, just forget your claims here, go.
And so
this particular, because they needed to clear them out,
they needed, they were backlogged up in Mexico.
Mexico did not want them.
They passed that problem to the Americans in violation of whatever diplomatic agreement they had, by the way, with the Biden administration.
So these particular Haitians, this particular group of 15,000, and there's supposedly more on the way,
were just simply released.
They all have the same story independently about El Grito, which is the Mexican holiday.
of that week.
And I'm thinking the Mexican government probably intended to provide that holiday gift to their own people because,
you know yeah so yeah that's that's the short-term story the bigger picture is they were all headed to the U.S.-Biden border anyway because they knew it was open and they're still coming in large numbers in other parts of Texas outside of the media lens
range so I've I've read about two buses that have been hijacked as they are being taken someplace is that true and is there more than two and what's happening there?
Okay, I can explain that.
The Biden administration did something very weird for the Biden administration, and it shows how desperate they were to make this political blot go away fast.
They took a card, they took a play from the Trump playbook.
and started doing repatriation flights of these migrants from Texas all the way to Port-au-Prince.
Now remember, these people have been living for years away from Haiti in these other countries, and so to have to go to be deported to Port-au-Prince was especially acutely painful for them.
I talked to a lot of immigrants yesterday and the day before in Mexico because they were fleeing the camp.
in terror of having of the possibility that they might get deported.
And what the Haitian friends who have been deported were telling them is stay away from the buses.
Don't get on the buses.
Don't get on the buses.
Those buses are going to the airport and you're going to end up where we ended up.
And right about that time is when the violence started on the buses.
So my
speculation, my informed speculation is that these seizures of buses and the violence on the buses, and there are other cases of violence against ICE officers.
They are attacking ICE officers every day now because they do not want to be repatriated to Haiti.
But having said that,
repatriation to home countries like this is incredibly effective.
More than anything else, that is probably what has shut down this camp.
It stopped anybody new coming in.
And all of the Haitians that I talked to, at least a thousand that I saw on the Acuna side of the river, the city of Acuna,
were
fleeing this idea that they could be deported.
And I also spent time in the bus station in Acuña filled with Haitians buying bus tickets back to Tapachula, Mexico, back to where they came from.
That is happening, Glenn.
But the question is whether the Biden administration will hang on to that policy and keep using it, because it would shut this crisis down if he applied it to all nationalities across all of the border.
But he's under huge pressure from his left.
They are killing him.
They are clubbing him for
using that policy.
So tell me about
the number of
people that have come in illegally from other countries other than Mexico and south of the border, terrorist states.
Right.
Every year, there are thousands of people coming from 35 to 40 countries of national, what we would regard the intelligence community as a national security concern.
That's going to be Afghanistan.
They are coming from Afghanistan in small numbers.
I expect greater numbers in the coming months from Afghanistan.
Pakistan,
Bangladesh, Syria, Iraq, Iran, all of those countries have people coming through the same route that the Haitians are coming.
I met just the other day in Mexico an Angolan.
who flew into Brazil from, there's like a visa waiver between Brazil and Angola, and he came in, and he was telling me about all these other African countries, Cameroon, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Senegal, Mauritania.
And I've met immigrants from all of those places on their way here.
Lots of Yemenis.
Intelligence community sources tell me that the Yemeni problem is so grave because
quite a few of them are on the U.S.
terror watch list that have been caught at the border, that there is a special unit that has been formed in ICE Homeland Security Investigations just to deal with the terrorist concern in the Yemeni population coming over that border.
That is a true thing.
They caught two in California this year, earlier this year, who were on the FBI's terror watch list.
One of them was on the no-fly list in Calexico, California.
CBP put a press release out about that.
It was taken down within 24 hours by the Biden administration saying, what?
You can't talk about this right now when we've got all these
crisis collapsing our border management systems.
Jeez.
Ronnie, have you talked to any of the
border patrol agents themselves?
What is their morale like?
It is just,
it's been in the toilet for months and months.
Keep in mind that this migrant camp that has attracted all of this attention is only 15,000.
And I say only
because you have to keep that in context with the fact that more than 50,000 a week are crossing that border.
50,000, 200,000 a month, every month.
for four months straight over 200,000 and close to 200,000 for many more months.
1.5 million so far.
And so it's a little bit,
you know, hard to believe that the media is concentrating on these 15,000 when
that's just a typical morning in Texas.
Jeez.
Todd, thank you so much.
I'm sorry to call you Rodney.
I was thinking about the former chief that has come out
that has just come out and released something.
I think it was yesterday.
It was sent into Washington, a report.
And it is terrifying.
It is terrifying.
I read that.
Yes, it is.
And, you know, he's finally free to speak.
And I think everybody should listen to him and read what he's saying.
And by the way,
he, even before this, released a video to the troops as he was leaving, farewell kind of thing.
And he said he has never seen more terrorists crossing the border than he did in his final months.
And if you want to know more about that, you know, the way that works and how they come through and what we do as a country about it, pick up my book, America's Covert Border War.
It's all revealed in there,
what we do as a nation programmatically.
And the fact that we are having this horrendous border crisis is really threatening those counterterrorism programs that we have down there.
Unbelievable.
Todd Bensman, thank you so much.
Author of America's Covert Border War.
He is on the border now.
Thank you so much.
We'll check in with you again, Todd.
Appreciate it.

10 Second Station ID.
So they're going to start issuing federal charges against Haitian illegal aliens
for what's happening down on the border, attacking U.S.
pilots, biting ICE agents, hijacking the buses.
This is really, this is not America.
And there will be another big terrorist strike on America.
There will be.
And it's going to happen because somebody came across this border.
Or somebody was loaded into a plane that shouldn't have been loaded into a plane on one of our Greytails for the United States.
They just, they, you know, they were actually just pulling people off the streets at one point.
They're just, come on, come on, get in, get in, get in.
Towards the very end so those planes wouldn't fly half empty.
And
what's the process that happens after that?
We know, I mean, you know, obviously more than probably anybody else how difficult it is to go through all of this and try to do this the right way.
Is the government doing it that way?
I doubt it.
I doubt it.
And, you know, no way.
They're already saying that there's problems, you know, on our bases where these guys are starting to be roving packs going after the women there.
They should be sent back immediately.
Immediately.
And I'll say, for all the arguments to be made for pulling troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq,
one of the things that was good about having troops there is that we had the best trained military in the world to deal with terrorists rather than them, you know, coming after everyday citizens as they shop here in the United States.
I mean, the idea of fighting them over there
was something that I know a lot of people we've talked to in our military, people who served there, that was the thing they were the most proud of.
Was, yeah, they had to deal with a lot of really terrible things over there themselves, but they'd rather they would rather have that sacrifice on them than on some kid going to school here in the United States.
And those terrorist groups were so upset that we were there that they directed all their attention there.
And
our military was very well equipped to deal with those people.
You know, now that they have time to sit around and think and other targets to plan, we could be seeing a growth of that whole cycle all over again.
A Chinese spokesperson said, time will prove that it was a mistake for the U.S.
to regard China as its biggest adversary.
Another September 11th suicide attack of terrorism will come again to America.
This is the Glenback program.
Most people don't spend a lot of time, if any at all, focusing on self-sufficiency and preparedness.
I've been a prepper before it was cool and it's still not cool.
So that's a long time.
It was never common to homeschool.
It was never common to prepare.
But a lot of people now are preparing because America is facing severe problems and they are going to affect all of us.

I want to read something that the chief of the U.S.
Border Patrol, who just left the Border Patrol, Rodney Scott, wrote to
Schumer and Mitch McConnell and
Peters and Portman on September 11th, 2021.
Now he has been not allowed to say anything.
He's starting now to get out from underneath his
all of his, you know,
sworn duty things so he can actually start to actually talk to people.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
He writes,
In the position of chief of the U.S.
Border Patrol, it's a career civil service position and not a political appointment.
As chief, I was the most senior official responsible for border security in the ports of entry.
I witnessed an unprecedented seismic shift in our border security and immigration policy that was initiated January 20th, 2021.
I believe this policy shift and the associated public statements created the current border crisis.
Of greater concern, I also witnessed the lack of any meaningful effort to secure our borders.
Contrary to the current rhetoric, this is not simply another illegal immigration surge.
This is a national security threat.
This thing is horrifying.
Just horrifying.
Today, on the 20th anniversary of the horrific 9-11 terrorist attacks, I reflect on the significant border security advances that we had made.
I'm sickened by the avoidable and rapid disintegration of what was arguably the most effective border security in our nation's history.
Common sense border border security recommendations from experienced career professionals are being ignored and stymied by inexperienced political appointees.
The Biden administration's team at DHS is laser focused on expediating the flow of migrants.
Listen to that.
The Biden's administration's DHS is laser focused on expediating the flow of migrants into the U.S.
and downplaying the significant vulnerability this creates for terrorists, narcotics, smugglers, human traffickers, even hostile nations to gain access to our homeland.
In my professional assessment, the U.S.
Border Patrol is rapidly losing the situational awareness required to know who and what is entering in our homeland.
The ability of the U.S.
Border Patrol to detect and interdict those that want to evade apprehension is being degraded daily.
Low-level, unsophisticated, and uneducated smugglers are illegally crossing the border and increasingly
evading apprehension daily.
To think that well-sourced terrorist networks, criminal organizations, and hostile nations are not doing the same is naive.
The current situation is unsustainable and must be mitigated.
Experienced civil service staff within CBP, ICE, and DHF have provided multiple options to reduce the illegal alien entries and re-establish some semblance of border security through proven programs and consequences.
Yet every recommendation has been
summarily say it, Stu.
Summarily?
Thank you.
Rejected.
Secretary Mayorkis is choosing to ignore the sound recommendations of career government leadership, despite his own admissions that he agrees with them.
Of grave concern is the fact the Secretary and other political appointees within DHF have provided factually incorrect information to congressional representatives and to the American public.
Try that one on for size.
He's saying the DHS now with the Biden administration is lying to Congress and lying to the American people.
Furthermore, they have directed the
U.S.
Border Patrol to allow otherwise ineligible aliens to remain in the U.S.
inconsistent with CDT CDC Title 42, blah, blah, blah.
As a direct result of these decisions, control of our borders has disintegrated overnight.
While the sheer volume of aliens is overwhelming, it is critical that policymakers understand that these mass incursions are simply not an immigration issue.
These illegal entries are being scripted and controlled by Plaza bosses that work directly for the the transnational criminal organizations to create controllable gaps in border security.
These gaps are then exploited to easily smuggle contraband, criminals, or even potential terrorists into the U.S.
at will.
Even when the U.S.
Border Patrol detects the illegal entry, agents are spread so thin that they often lack the capability to make a timely interdiction.
It is important to remember that a border is not a destination.
It is just a transit point en route to our cities and towns throughout the U.S.
This is not hyperbole.
I urge you to request detailed information from DHS CBP on the number of individuals with terrorist screening database alerts that the USBP has arrested this fiscal year.
Stu, let's see if we can get a FOIA on that.
Okay.
To ensure you that you are not misled, please specifically ask for comparative data from previous years broken down by method of apprehension, encounter, and immigration status at the time of the encounter.
Isn't that amazing?
He's writing this to Congress and to the Senate, and he's saying,
let me give you that again.
To ensure that you are not misled.
Right.
They'll release information that's unimportant to this point, right?
They'll just avoid.
Or they'll redact.
That's the other thing they do all the time.
I also encourage you to ask questions about the surge in USBP personnel assigned to the border in Texas.
What national security and public health risks are we knowingly accepting in the areas these agents were pulled from?
How many miles of borders are now going uncontrolled daily to facilitate expedited processing and ultimately the release of these illegal aliens in the U.S.?
What threats are we allowing into the U.S.
by continuing to accept a thousand documented gotaways every day?
What programs or IT system developments have been shut down or significantly delayed due to limited resources being redirected to the mass migration crisis?
What impact has the current crisis had on the ability of the Border Patrol to conduct thorough debriefings of individuals to determine intentions, threat, and to document transnational criminal activity?
He goes into the numbers, which are just staggering.
In addition to the clear national security implications of an uncontrolled border, it's unconscionable that as COVID-19 continues to spread, DHS would choose to voluntarily carve out policy exceptions to Title 42.
These carve-outs do not appear to comport with any medical assessments that I have read.
These policy carve-outs are unquestionably placing the lives of Border Patrol personnel, U.S.
citizens, and the migrants themselves at increased risk.
In October 2020, over 91% of total encounters by Border Patrol were processed under T-42 and expelled in an average of 90 minutes.
I report, a report I received on August 1st, 2021 indicate that nearly 53% were being granted exemptions from T-42, with the majority ultimately being released into the United States.
That's basically saying they don't have to have any kind of COVID test.
Border Patrol lacks the adequate facilities and resources to conduct COVID testing without significantly increasing the risk of exposure and further degrading our border security.
Therefore, any COVID testing is conducted on a voluntary basis by private non-governmental institutions.
There's no mandated vaccine prior to release.
Processing an alien that illegally enters the U.S.
under T-42 authority can be accomplished in approximately 10 minutes while avoiding congregate settings where COVID-19 exposure would be increased.
Consequently, processing an individual under Title VIII to include a notice to appear takes
approximately two hours and is completed inside an enclosed processing center.
If the alien will be transferred to ICE, Vice released immediately on their own recognizance, or the time in custody will increase even further, 72 hours.
Oh my gosh.
He goes on and on and says how
really
well give you this.
I am extremely confident that the Biden administration, to include Secretary Mayorkis, are fully aware of the significant operational risk and the monetary costs associated with all of these pauses at which times reportedly exceed $5 million
a day.
It's important that
we address the issues directly associated with the Border Patrol's mission.
As a senior executive leader within the
Border Patrol, I was also privy to discussions that negatively affected security and legitimate trade and travel operations at our ports of entry.
I hope Rodney Scott testifies.
I hope Rodney Scott, I hope Rodney Scott becomes a name that everybody knows.
This guy is extraordinarily brave.
He tried to work within the system.
They just kept crushing and crushing and crushing.
He is now retired, and he is speaking out.
Will anyone listen?
That's the real question.
It doesn't seem like there's been a ton of interest from the media in this.
There's not.
You had that burst in March, as we kind of mentioned earlier, and you had the burst when some of the footage came out, but it was really all from Fox News and conservative sources.
The only thing that has brought the media to the party here when we're talking about the border are these pictures of border agents on horses, which now gives them a way to say that the border agents are bad.
Now it's no longer a humanitarian crisis.
Now they can just say, well, look at how horrible we are with immigrants on the border.
And maybe AOC can show up in her new watch and outfit and cry again at an empty fence.
I guess that's the next step here.
But it does seem like
there is no interest unless they can come up with an angle that backs up the idea of oppression.
and all of these other things, as opposed to what's happening to these people who, you know, some of them are actually just out there to break the law.
Some of them believe they're completely within what the administration wants within the idea.
I think they are.
They're there because they think they've been invited to be there.
And that doesn't mean we should let them in, but it does mean that, you know, it's a different situation than
some previous border outbreaks.
Not to mention, you know, when he's speaking of outbreaks, as he mentions in the letter, serious concern here with COVID.
I mean, we keep talking about, keep talking about, well, we need to get everybody vaccinated for COVID.
Why are you not vaccinating then people coming in from other countries?
And you might think, okay, well, they're on the border.
What are they going to do?
They have doses of the vaccine there.
They offer them, but if they say no, they don't make them take them.
Excuse me?
They have Johnson and Johnson doses at the border.
available.
If they say no.
If they say no, they're like, well, we're going to respond.
Look, it's a personal choice, guys.
I mean, you can't, what are we going to do?
Mandate the vaccine?
Yes, that's what you've been doing to regular citizens who want to go to their jobs, people who actually are supposed to be in the country.
That's what you keep doing to them.
You're making kids mask up, but you won't make the very least we could do.
is ask them and make them take the vaccine if they want to somehow come into the country.
And by the way, the question, if you remember this back and forth with Jen Saki and Peter Doocy the other day, Peter Doocy didn't even say, it was reported like, shouldn't we be mandating these vaccines?
That's not the question Peter Doocy asked.
He said, shouldn't we be,
are we asking them if they're vaccinated and they have proof of vaccination, or they have to complete a test?
And the answer was, well, look, they're only going to be here for a few days and they're not intending to be here.
And they're not, if they show symptoms, then we're...
And she came up with all these BS excuses.
They keep lecturing us on we have to have the vaccine because we're asymptomatic.
Right.
Asymptomatic transmission.
Which obviously this is a much easier disease to deal with if there is no asymptomatic transmission.
So obviously
we're well beyond that point here.
But in that question was an option to just test them.
And even that she didn't say we were doing.
Now, that is built into the Biden mandate as well.
This one that's been proposed, but shockingly, no rule has actually been written yet.
I don't know if anyone's noticed this.
They just don't seem to be coming up with this rule.
They made this big announcement two days before September 11th when he was in the middle of dealing with all of the press catastrophes of Afghanistan after two consecutive months of growth in the rate of vaccination.
We doubled the rate.
Then he comes out with a mandate.
Makes no sense.
And by the way, he doesn't have to do the mandate.
The corporations are doing it for him, and American Airlines is being sued by many of their employees.
We'll talk about that coming up in a second.

I'm going to talk to her about life in America.
This is the Glenbeck Program.
Hello America and welcome to the Glenbeck program.
Last night I did
a chalkboard special and I laid out the things that
your life is going to be like, what we should expect
for the American lifestyle in a relatively short period of term time.
And then I showed you why that was happening and how that was happening.
I ran out of time to give you
some of the things you need to do to prepare.
So we're going to spend a little bit of time on that this hour.
We begin in 60 seconds.
The Glenn Beck Program.

So last night on the TV show, I did a
three-chalkboard show,
and
it was first describing what America is going to be like
when
this all comes down.
And it's coming down faster than you think.
and you already are feeling it.
Do you remember when they said, just going to have to get used to the new normal and we were like, I don't want the new normal.
What are you talking about?
New normal.
I don't want the new normal.
I want normal.
But they have promised us normal with the president, right?
Donald Trump, throw him out and things will go back to normal.
Is this normal?
Is this the way our president is supposed to behave?
Are these decisions that he's making normal?
No, of course no, it's not.
So
then why are we listening to them when they tell us they're going to bring normalcy back?
They're not going to bring normalcy back.
They're bringing something very, very different.
They are recreating and transforming America into something that you will not recognize at all, even from today.
And it's going to start happening faster and faster and
i i laid out a chalkboard last night that that shows that we're headed for massive shortages
and you need to prepare for this
massive shortages in energy in food in the things that you already are feeling you're going to a you're going to a store and you want to just pick something up and they're saying we're all out of that we don't have that it'll be i don't know maybe a couple of months before we get that in.
Are you kidding me?
This is preparing you for a much lower standard of living.
And I don't know how low it could go.
It could go to Venezuela.
And don't laugh that off.
We have been on this course now for almost 20 years.
I'm telling you that we could be Venezuela in the next five to ten.
That is not unreasonable.
I think we could be Venezuela, quite honestly, in the next four.
So prepare yourself for a much lower living standard.
Prepare yourself for shortages of energy, beef, fruits, and vegetables.
Prepare yourself for blackouts and brownouts.
Prepare yourself for your savings devalued by about,
hmm let's say 40% I'm being kind
zero privacy on your money zero privacy
your banks will become a big brother
you're gonna have to get used to collective rules This is good for the collective, but it it's horrible for me and my community.
Doesn't matter.
Prepare for that.
Prepare for schools to be only teaching your kids to be activists or to work for a giant corporation.
Those are the things that you have to prepare for.
And by 2030, prepare for no ownership.
And
no one to blame.
No one to vote out.
Have you noticed, let's start there, nobody takes blame for anything anymore?
On Afghanistan, who's really responsible?
I mean, Joe Biden says the buck stops with him, but does it?
Is there any ramification?
The buck stops with me means I'm responsible.
I'm not only going to take the blame, but I will take the repercussions of that.
There's only one repercussion for Joe Biden right now, and that is his poll numbers are abysmal.
He is now
less popular than Kamala Harris.
Do you remember just a couple of months ago, they were talking about how dramatically low her rate is and how
nobody could expect her to do anything in her career if she doesn't get her approval rating up?
And they had big meetings in Washington.
How are we going to get her approval ratings up?
He's now less popular than she is.
But is that affecting anything really?
Do you hear anybody calling for him to be held accountable for the border?
For Afghanistan?
For inflation that is going through the roof?
For the fact that we can't seem to go places that we've always gone to and do things that we've always done because nobody will work there anymore?
Because it's better for so many Americans just to stay at home rather than go back to work?
Is this normal?
Well, it is the beginning of the new normal.
There were five things that made America truly remarkable.
And
they all worked together, especially in the 20th century.
We had cheap and abundant energy.
You go anywhere else in the world, and energy is very expensive.
Here, we have more natural gas than anybody else.
With the new oil reserves that have just recently been discovered and through fracking and everything else, we have more oil here than they did in Saudi Arabia.
We have energy like nobody's business.
We also have rare earth minerals.
These are really important.
Computer chips.
You know the shortage we have?
Computer chips, solar panels, all of those things need rare earth metals and rare earth minerals, and we have them.
But because of environmental reasons, we're letting China
mine all of theirs.
And we're not mining for ours.
It's off limits.
We're no longer going to be looking for oil.
That's a thing of the past.
We decided we're not going to have the XL pipeline.
We're going after our big oil companies.
We just had a new board member or two added to, what was it, Exxon's board, where they decided they're going to be a clean energy group, that they're going to be environmentally friendly, which is wonderful and everything, but you're an oil company.
The price of gasoline has gone up 72 cents, I'm sorry, 72%
since January.
72%.
It's gone up a dollar.
Energy is being slaughtered by this administration.
And believe me, they will not care if gasoline is $8 a gallon.
They will not care because it will force you into a new green car.
I've talked about this before.
I don't think people understand.
Do your homework.
The gasoline engine is over.
This year is the last year for models to have pure gas engines.
It's all going electric.
By 2030, that's out.
So what are you going to replace it with?
We can't build any new nuclear power plants.
We can't have any new coal plants.
We're really left with solar and wind.
Who controls all of that?
As I laid out in my program last night, that's China.
So you don't have cheap, abundant energy.
In fact, you're going to have rolling blackouts.
Mark my words.
Massive, massive problems with energy.
Let me hit a couple of things that you should do on energy right now.
If you are building a house or remodeling a house, double up on the insulation.
Do everything you can.
Get your houses
weather stripped.
Do all of that now.
before there's a rush on all of that stuff and the price goes up.
Because believe me when I tell you,
you are going to be paying extra
if you don't do those things.
They're going to make homeownership extraordinarily difficult.
And it's all going to be based on going green.
So make your house as efficient as you can right now.
When it comes to energy,
You better have some sort of a generator.
Now you can go out and get a generator, a diesel generator, but diesel, remember, is going to get harder and harder to come by.
The only other option that I know of is natural gas.
That's going to be harder to come by, but it's cleaner than diesel or gas.
And, you know, maybe you already have natural gas, but find a generator.
And if you can afford one, one that will run your house.
Because you're going to, in the future, have rolling blackouts.
When it comes to your business,
because the next thing that was on my chart was cheap, abundant energy.
That was number one.
There are five.
Number two is the American workforce.
Number three was abundant land and farming.
Number four is a strong dollar.
Number five is a stable government.
That's what made America great.
Those five things.
But we don't have any of those five things anymore.
Cheap and abundant energy is going away.
Look at the American workforce today.
You're killing your entrepreneurs.
You're calling anybody that is paying taxes now a thief.
Remember, 61% of the people that paid, sorry, 61% of the American public did not pay any federal income tax in 2020.
Or is it 2021?
2020.
2020.
So no federal income.
61%.
Now, I would say, well, that's because of COVID and everything else.
But are they doing things to get people back to work to pay taxes?
The answer is no.
And what are they doing?
The 39% that did pay tax, those are entrepreneurs to the billionaires.
Those people, they're under attack.
Their businesses are under attack, unless you're a a big Home Depot style business.
If you're a local entrepreneur, you have been under attack by this government.
To the point to where you can't even find workers now to help you.
So the workforce is being slowly destroyed.
Here's what you need to do.
If you have a business, you need to begin
local groups.
They did this in California, and that was the only reason why they could push back on some of these COVID rules is because they got into groups and they invited attorneys to be part of the group.
And it was just a local, it was,
I don't remember, it was named after one of the streets.
We had them on once talking about it, but it was just a local group of people who were all businesses on one street.
And they all started to push back and they got an attorney and they made headway.
They kept their businesses alive.
You need to stand together right now.
You need to start to gather as a local group right now.
The American workforce, you just got to go to work.
You have to go to work.
The more you depend on the government, the more they will have control over you.
Get yourself untangled from the government as much as as you can.
I told you years ago, spit yourself out of the system.
It's pretty difficult to do, but very obvious on where you are in the system.
The land and farming and the strong dollar, I'll address in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
Right now, we have got to stick together.
We have to support one another.
And when we have a company that will provide as good of service, or in this case, better service than what you're already receiving from somebody who works against your values, you got to switch.
PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.
They have all of the same major towers that all of the carriers are on.
So you're going to get the same great service, half the cost,
half the cost, but the same great coverage.
Patriot Mobile has affordable, customizable plans for any family, and they donate a portion of what they make to conservative causes, unlike big mobile companies.
So, here's what I want you to do: switch today, patriotmobile.com/slash Beck.

Last night on Blaze TV, I
lined this all out on chalkboards and I showed you how they are taking these things and trashing us.
The cheap abundant energy, I showed you all of the bills that have been passed, all of the things that they're doing by executive order, the same thing with the workforce, what they're doing with unions,
and how they are just making it onerous to be free and
run your own business.
The next thing is abundant land and farming.
This really goes to the spirit of home ownership and private ownership.
We've always had a spirit of, I built this.
This is the rest of the, you didn't build this, kind of crowd.
They were telling us in Afghanistan, you can't do this.
And we said, yes, we can.
They believe that you are the problem and they are the solution.
American common sense and all of our documents and all of our history say the exact opposite.
The problem is government, not the people.
Well, they are working now towards a world where
land is going to become more and more scarce and they're going to cause the scarcity.
Did you know that the governor in New Mexico just voted for 50-50?
It's a program in New Mexico and it's being encouraged all across the country and the world that 50% of the world's land will be set aside for climate change some sort of climate control
50% of all of our land will be taken to stabilize the climate
I didn't vote for that did you vote for that
She did it through executive order.
It's exactly the same plan that Joe Biden has, but Joe is putting it into a 20-year plan or 25-year plan.
His goal is to have 30% by 2030.
What they're doing to farmers now through the taxes is cripple them.
They are taking away the ability for the farmer who is not wealthy.
I don't know if you've ever met a farmer, but they're not wealthy to pass their land on,
they're going to get hit with capital gains tax because
they have to now pay when dad dies or mom dies and wants to give the farm, they have to pay the difference from what mom and dad bought that farm for to what it's worth today
and claim it as a capital's gains.
No one's going to be able to pay that.
The American farmer will be snuffed out.
And that's really okay
because the World Economic Forum, as I showed you last night, has a plan for food.
And it is terrifying.
It makes Mao's five-year plan look like a happy place.
Starvation will come if these people are allowed to do to farming all over the globe what they're planning on doing.

This is the Glenn Back Program.
American Financing, NMLS, 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
So yesterday afternoon,
I get a, I get one of my producers walks in and says, hey, Glenn, this just broke from the Fed.
The Fed has decided, strangely, that they're going to
stop buying buying so many bonds and things, which the last time they tried that, the stock market fell apart.
And they think maybe it's time to raise interest rates.
Excuse me?
Time to raise interest rates?
You said you wouldn't do that until 2023.
Why the rush, Fed?
Because they know, they know what's coming.
Inflation beyond your wildest imagination.
So they're doing everything they can, including interest rates, to call that money back in and get it out of the system.
Meanwhile, the clowns in Washington want to spend another $4 trillion.

So we just had a new show start on the Blaze.
It's wildly outperforming for its age.
It's been on the air, I think, nine days, and wildly, wildly outperforming anything.
I don't think we've had a show start this hot ever.
And it's because it's honest.
Two millennials that are just honest.
And they're not, you know, coming on trying to come off
as experts.
They're just, in this case, asking questions.
Well, apparently you can't do that on YouTube.
The channel got two red flags.
You get a third one and you're off permanently.
Not only did this affect
the website for You Are Here,
but also affected their own personal YouTube pages they couldn't post and one more violation and they're gone permanently now gee
YouTube claims today it was just a mistake it was just a mistake and so now they're going to be issued just a warning now why were they warned they were warned because they asked
this
question
They are parading the fact that they know what we know about masks and all this pop culture.
We don't need to wear those things.
They're not helping society.
And YouTube can strike me for that, and that's okay.
Prove to me the studies showing that masking children is preventing child death.
Show me the fact that the staff at the Emmys wearing masks and the celebrities not wearing masks prevents anyone from dying.
You can't because that's not science.
It's not real.
It's illegitimate pseudoscience and the people like pushing this are just showing you they're not only above the law they're above the public health orders yeah it's disgusting
that's what got them two warnings what yeah
uh sydney watson uh
is uh joining us along with elijah schafer uh from the new blaze tv show you are here hi guys hi thanks for having us you bet so i'm disappointed in you guys i would have expected much much more.
I know.
I thought maybe we would have said a name we shouldn't, or maybe I had something kind of fun.
Maybe like
I had a nip slip or something, and it was inappropriate for kids, but no, it was a question.
So, Elijah, tell me your background, because
you went to school.
You're not a nobody when it comes to
germs and disease and things like masks.
Is that a compliment?
I don't know.
You're not a nobody when it comes to germs and disease.
Well, that's Jeffy, but that's a different I know it.
Anyway, go ahead.
Yeah, you know, I mean, I don't have a PhD in science, but I do have a university degree in some grad school in molecular biology.
It's specifically, you know, studying the mechanisms of virology and these delivery systems.
I've even worked specifically on immunotherapy development.
I by no means call myself an expert, but I definitely think I know more about the topic than people who went to school to study programming that work in Silicon Valley.
And being somebody who, for my job for many years, had to wear PPE and had to wear masks, had to take courses and training and know their effectiveness and exactly what they're for, understand that the Health and Human Services and the CDC to this day, if you contact them, never talk about the mitigation of COVID from masks.
They use the phrase that they block particles, which is a vague statement.
that is true because they block sawdust, some bacterial elements, spit, et cetera.
But they never even on the box of the masks claim that they are helping mitigate COVID transmission.
And when I asked that question specifically, show me the studies, the truth is, is the Health and Human Services, the HHS, says directly when you reach out to them on their official documentations, that there are not these true scientific blind studies that prove the effectiveness of mitigating this spread at a mass scale that is directly saving the lives of kids.
And that's all that I pointed out.
But apparently, some guy named Phil, who works in an office in California, thinks that, you know, he knows more than me, but that's okay.
Phil knows a lot more, Elijah.
Did you not know that?
Phil's an expert.
So
you guys are,
you know, you're, what, are you in your 20s?
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
You're in your 20s.
You were born after 9-11 or right around 9-11.
So you don't really remember what America was like before when we could say and ask anything.
I didn't understand the world
where you could
silence speech.
Are you guys as shocked as I am that just asking that question with that everybody knows?
Everybody knows that asking that question
got you almost permanently banned from YouTube?
Yeah, I think that, I mean, Elijah and I are 90s babies, so I think that we did in fact get the tail end of maybe the best time to be alive when things were much more simplistic and people weren't quite quite so full of vitriol and hostility and also when big tech was not running our lives.
So I would say that I'm not shocked because I've been working in the space.
And I dare say, Elijah, I don't want to speak on your behalf, but I dare say that it's the same thing for Elijah too, that we're not entirely shocked at this point because we have been working in the space for a number of years.
And Glenn, I know that you certainly probably are not shocked either.
But I think given that we are at a point where you actually cannot even ask legitimate questions pertaining to children, because mind you, I think that the emphasis that we place on children and certainly the emphasis that we place on their innocence and keeping them safe has gone completely out the window in days gone by and there's a myriad of reasons for that least of all I think referring to the way that the left treats kids and uses them as ammunition which they often do the fact that Elijah is smart enough and clever enough to sit here and to say hey I would like to better understand this topic And I get that, you know, sometimes we ask these questions facetiously because we know the answers already.
We know that masking children is not something that's going to be tremendously helpful for them because, you know, given the rates and spread of COVID and what have you, I don't want to get into that.
But, you know, we are at a point where effectively you can be as honest as you want, which is what we try to do.
That's that's what our show is about.
We can ask as many questions as we want, but if you upset the people over at big tech, they can wipe you from the face of the internet in one fell swoop.
That's very terrifying to us.
Very terrifying.
This is financially hurt the Blaze, financially hurt you guys.
It has slowed the growth.
You're now on
big tech's radar, and I'm sure the algorithms are all going to be...
Because
I've not seen any show like yours take off this fast.
I think on your first show.
I think you had
50,000 signups.
And
if I'm not mistaken, by show number two, you doubled it.
I mean, yeah, I think we were already hitting in the six figures of downloads for the show just beginning and getting in the top, I think, 61 of all of news, even audio podcasts, and also trending on YouTube.
51 of all audio.
Yeah, 51 of all.
So we were beating.
In two shows.
Yeah, we were already beating, you know, like Hannity and different people on audio simply because I think people are so tired.
of understanding that they want realness.
And the point is, is that all I did was ask questions in response to official positions of government agencies.
And the fact that that's controversial today says something about the control and the totalitarianism that the American public is facing on a daily basis.
And this is why it's not fair.
Do you want to know something really stupid that your audience, I mean, big tech and stupid go together pretty well at this point?
But when they struck us, they struck us against their own terms of service for the same content twice, which they don't do.
And then when we fought them and explained to them, look, this, what we said is not against your, not only against your terms of service, it is not against science, and it is not against the official position of the government.
Can't believe I even have to make those arguments to speak freely, but we said that.
They go, okay, that's fine.
You didn't violate our policies.
We'll reinstate one of the videos, but we're going to leave the warning and not reinstate the other video.
So they admitted...
that we didn't violate their policies, but they're going to still punish us.
And the only thing that only conclusion I can come to, because we're not violating their terms, we're not violating government mandates, we're not saying anything incorrect, and they've admitted that, that it's simply because they don't like our position and they don't like who we are and what we say here at the Blaze.
And I believe it is a personal punishment to warn us that you are on the wrong side and that our eyes are watching you.
I can guarantee you that.
I don't know if I gave you guys the speech,
you know, when you first came in, but
I pretty much tell everybody that works around around me or comes here, you're going to pay a very high price.
You're going to, you're going to pay a very high price for doing what you do, especially doing it here.
And I just interviewed somebody just last week,
and I told her she was very excited to come to work.
And I said, I want you to take the weekend and think about it because you have a good chance of not getting a normal job ever again because you'll be blackballed because you worked worked for me.
Yeah, but it's worth it though.
I mean, I think that's the fact of the matter is it's completely worth it because if you are pushing the envelope and if you are pushing the right ideas and correct and truthful ideas, I think it's worth it.
Yeah, it's tough.
And I think all of us, especially, you know, if you have some sort of a following on the internet for and you speak about conservative values or right-wing values, it certainly can get challenging, but I still think it's worth it.
I don't know, Elijah.
I don't know if you agree with that, but I certainly do.
I don't think that I couldn't couldn't live in lies.
I just couldn't.
I couldn't do it.
I couldn't do it.
One last thing.
Are you
because
we have learned to do certain things when we have to ask questions that we know we're going to get hammered for, we don't put them on because the Blaze will put any honest question on.
I don't care what the answer is.
I don't care whose side wins because of it.
If it's an honest question and we're searching for honest answers, that's what you're supposed to do.
Are you guys going to
change the show at all and do the
what we're going to do?
And I'll tell you this for your listeners.
This is very important.
Is we at Blaze, I know that the people that are the big higher-ups, the Hanchos, the guys up there looked at us.
And I can tell your audiences genuinely, nobody came to us and told us, change what you're doing.
Don't say this, don't say that.
They just said, we're with you, we back you.
And even to show our support more, while we were offline and we were not able to produce the show, they were still like, we're going to go ahead and we're going to keep this live on Blazetv.com.
And they decided to offer an amazing deal.
I think the code is Glenn25
for $25 off to get a membership at Blazetv.com.
And if you use that, that is like the best deal I've heard in a long time.
The best deal we've ever offered.
Yeah.
See, and we're going to come together.
We're going to say, we're going to, we're going to fight back against big tech and make the content even more accessible.
And we're going to to give people that opportunity to join the battle and join together because it is a cost, not just for the people in the content, not for the people making the content.
But you know, this, just by watching the wrong things, like with the Hunter Biden story, sharing the wrong story is enough.
No matter if you have two followers or two million followers, they will target you and they will ban you and punish you.
And so we cannot trust big tech platforms.
They will censor us into submission until we join together.
and get behind each other, like at Blazetv.com.
And that Glenn25 offer is amazing.
A lot of people have joined.
They've come and they've supported us and we are showing big tech that they will not silence us.
Amen, brother.
Thank you.
It's great to have you two working side by side with us.
So we, I really love it.
I love it.
You guys are really great.

I want you to envision a world in which your dollars are worth only a fraction of what they used to be.
You got stacks of cash, we got plenty of money, but nothing our money can buy.
It is the same thing that people have gone through before
in the United States and elsewhere.
And this has happened to us two or three times, I think.
We've had to change our money.
Well, what happens?
Usually you can lose about 40%, 30% to 40% of your value of your dollar.
This time, it's going to be equitable.
So it depends on who you are, on how much you lose.
I'm planning on, oh, probably
70% of my dollar will be
lost
because I'm just not in the right category.
Are you?

Do you remember when we had Ian Hersey Ali on the very first time?
Do you remember that?
It was like a CNN?
CNN.
Jeez.
Headline news, by the way.
Yeah, she was.
She was,
as she still is, an incredibly brave woman.
Oh, yeah.
She escaped from, where was it, Somalia, Nigeria?
She was in a Muslim family and they were going to
ship her off to her husband and she was young.
And she gets into the airport where she has to get a connecting flight.
She's somewhere, I think, in the Netherlands.
And she takes off all of her Islamic garb and changes her name and
just kind of blends into society.
She educates herself and then she becomes a member of parliament.
And
she becomes very outspoken right after 9-11, probably 2004.
And I met her when she had just left or was still in parliament.
And I would never forget, I've had Secret Service around me.
We've met with presidents and all kinds of people.
She's the only one that had security, that stood literally right next to the camera lens.
Her life was so threatened all the time.
And all she was doing was telling the truth.
And she's continuing to tell the truth now today.
We talked about Afghanistan and what was happening in our own country.
You know, she lived,
she lived maybe, I don't remember, Denmark.
And then
she came here to the United States.
And she chose to live here in the United States.
And she has such a great viewpoint on who we are and what we're about to forget.
