A Monitored Class Is Forming | Guests: Lara Logan & Andrew Heaton | 7/15/21

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

You want to keep your hair?

You have a receding hairline or a bald spot?

My hair is going back even further.

Stu, I'm becoming.

You need a soup.

That's what you need.

I need soup.

You need soup.

Well, I could go to Keeps and get, you know, a doctor-recommended.

You really think soup would do it?

I mean, is it like FDA approved?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because the soup isn't.

The soup is.

You shouldn't have soup.

Okay, I'm going to go with keeps this time.

But you just send in a couple of pictures of your head.

Licensed doctor, a licensed doctor, not a Cuomo doctor, will take a look at it, give you the right prescription, and then they send it to you.

Keeps.com/slash save.

Do it now.

Boy, it's going to be a

roller coaster of a program today.

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

This

is

the Glenback program.

Oh my gosh.

First of all, Cubans, you are not welcome here, okay?

Yeah.

Everybody else,

everybody else from anywhere around the world.

Iran, just get to Mexico.

Come on in.

We'll take you on a 737 and fly you wherever you want to go.

Really, honestly, Cubans, you keep you and your Cuban-ness out of this country right now.

Do it.

What the hell is happening?

Oh, and by the way, the White House refuses to say that they're protesting communism.

Huh.

Well, I think that's pretty obvious.

And seeing that we've been against communism the whole time,

I think we know who the White House is.

But we have to follow the science.

It's not that we don't like Cubans because they don't like communism.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, there's a scientific reason.

We can't let the Cubans in.

Oh,

I'll share it.

The sweet irony.

I'll share it in 60 seconds.

Yay.

Somewhere years ago, deep underground in the top-secret built-bar laboratories, a lab technician looked up at his supervisor.

Sir, he said, sweat standing out on his brow,

we've done it.

You can't mean, the supervisor began.

Yes, said the technician, bringing up a shaky hand to wipe his glasses.

They've made it a protein bar, and it it tastes

it tastes so good.

The supervisor grabbed a nearby chair to steady himself.

What a proud day for America, was all he could say.

What a proud, proud day for America.

Anyway, that's how I imagine it went down when they, you know, came up with a protein bar that tastes really yummy.

Amazing flavors, nine, plus the occasional limited-time flavor.

Get a mix box, and you can try two of each of the nine flavors.

They got about 120 calories, all the protein that you could ever want,

and about four net carbs.

So what are you waiting for?

They taste great.

It's a good day for America at builtbar.com.

Breaking news from Reuters this morning.

Protests in Cuba will increase the risk of COVID-19 transmission because of an already high level of cases and the more contagious Delta variant.

Health officials said on Wednesday the Pan American Health Organization urged Cubans and tourists, please avoid all crowds.

Do not go out in the streets.

Wait, wait, where was this for?

Where was it?

Don't pay any attention.

Don't pay any attention to the man behind the curtain who said it was okay to go out and protest and steal stuff for BLM.

He doesn't know what he's talking about.

Well, racism is a public health issue.

Communism is not.

No.

Communism has only killed about 90 million people in the last 80 years.

Maybe more than that.

That's China.

It was 100 million in the past century.

So we're well over 100 million now.

And growing every day in every places like Cuba.

It's killed, communism has killed more people than all disease combined.

Pretty much.

Yeah.

I mean, it's.

Okay.

All right.

So we got to follow the science.

And, you know, the good thing is we have guardians of science like Chris Cuomo.

Do we have the audio of what Chris Cuomo said

about this COVID search, the Delta variant?

Here it is.

Listen.

The story of this pandemic on the right side is deep denial.

And we are going to remember for generations how we made ourselves sick.

Nobody else did what we've done in America.

Yeah, that's right.

We had a cure faster than just about anybody.

Not a cure.

But a vaccine.

Uh-huh.

And we made ourselves sick.

We lied to ourselves

about the pandemic.

Our leaders called it a hoax.

It's Trump, but it was more than Trump.

Wow.

He went on and talked about this controversy in Tennessee as well.

And now we have the big case in point.

Tennessee.

Tennessee.

Monday, their top vaccine official says she was fired after she sent a memo to vaccine providers about a state law that already existed.

I think it's existed since 1987.

It's called a mature minor minor

policy, which is where it allows doctors to determine if teenagers, even if they're not right of the age of

majority, that they can still be treated as long as the doctor believes that they're mature enough to understand their healthcare decisions.

So they don't need the parents' consent.

Oh.

It comes amid a larger effort to halt vaccine outreach for all diseases.

Think about that.

Why?

Think about that.

Let me think about it because you know what, Stu?

You know what I'm thinking?

What?

I'm thinking this isn't isn't approved for kids.

It's not approved for kids.

Yes, no.

So,

was it yes or is it no, Stu?

What do you mean, yes or no?

No, honestly, you're right.

It is not approved for kids.

However, that does not apply to this particular story because they're talking about 14 to 17-year-olds, which is approved for kids.

Okay, all right.

So, you have to be mature

14-year-olds.

That's their rule.

But again, like, he's not, it has nothing to do with Tennessee.

Tennessee is just a way for them to say Red State bad, right?

And Chris Cuomo wants you to know he's a man of science.

He is a man of science.

As you heard, I know that.

He really is.

It's not the Red Staters, of course.

Those people are against science.

Science!

And he can't believe that these Red Staters would do such a thing.

Well,

is this really Chris Cuomo, though?

Is he really a man of science?

Science!

That helps.

It does.

That's really helpful.

Worked for Thomas Dolby.

Science!

So let me introduce you to Purist Magazine.

Purist magazine.

Purist magazine.

Purist magazine.

What is purest magazine?

Well, let me give you their mantra.

Make the things you let into your body, mind, and spirit matter.

Let purist be your guide.

So what you put into your body should be guided.

So it's like goop.

It's like goop.

It's like goop.

If you think goop

is only for peasants.

You know,

if goop has number one, if it's for only poor people,

and also it does, it has too high, if you want lower credibility in Google.

So if you say goop is too authoritarian, authoritarian.

Authoritative.

Yes.

Yes, that's true.

Now, interesting, Purist Magazine is run

by

Christina Cuomo.

Of course, you may remember her as the person who was just found in Jeffrey Epstein's address book.

Yeah.

Otherwise known as

Chris Cuomo's wife.

That's right.

I forgot about that.

So

Chris Cuomo's wife has a magazine, and it's this like super elitist Hamptons magazine.

Science!

It's basically a Hamptons version of goop.

Okay.

Okay.

That's really what it is.

Now, wow, that's snotty.

I'm just trying.

It's like over-the-top snotty.

It's like Gwyneth Paltrow is not snotty enough for us.

What do we do?

Let's start our own thing.

Okay.

So,

Purist is basically this Hamptons goop

that advises people on all sorts of different diseases, among other things.

It's also where you buy multi-million dollar real estate and all sorts of other ridiculous, expensive things.

But a lot of it's focused on health stuff.

And it's easy to forgive a little diversion for rich people to go and talk about wellness.

You know, you're the wife of a celebrity and you're going to all, you know, you're going to have all the cures and the candles

and all of that.

No, I don't think it's that easy to give.

You You could, though.

Like, who cares?

Like, I don't care if they read something.

Okay, I'll give you that.

However, we should note that this man who is telling you he's a man of science

is not only married to, but was also being treated by the doctors who write for Purist magazine and are contributors to goop.

Good heavens, Miss Mercantroyd.

These are good references.

These are very deep references.

Okay.

So

during the worst part of COVID, the Cuomo family was actually giving recommendations for treatment of COVID-19.

These treatments, that's their word, not mine, treatments for COVID-19, which she uses the word treatments often in between her occasional efforts at legal disclaimer, because, of course, they're not treatments for COVID-19.

But things like, here's a quote, broth of cayenne pepper, ginger and garlic, or the lemon and ginger tea or vitamin C.

She later admits that, of course, there is not, none of these are cures for COVID-19, but added a name of a doctor who is advising them and helped her and her husband, Chris Cuomo, on a path of natural remedies to strengthen his immune system.

Okay, so

this is

what he had.

This is what Chris Cuomo did.

Forget what he's telling you on television.

Right.

What did he do when he got COVID?

When he was claiming he was in the basement.

Right.

Which he wasn't.

Yes.

That's

what he was having.

Yes.

Now, he went to Dr.

Linda Lancaster.

Oh, love her.

Now, here she is talking about how close to the mainstream of a doctor she is.

I'm not a medical doctor.

I don't use drugs.

Okay, so it's not a medical doctor.

Just a Mr.

Mainstream Science.

He could have come to me.

I'm a doctor, too.

I'm not a medical doctor.

Now,

so Chris Cuomo, again, insulting Tennessee, insulting Red Red States, got to stay with the science, went to this woman who seems delightful.

She is the founder of something called the Light Harmonics Institute.

I love that.

Yeah.

And she seems very sweet.

She's a naturopathic doctor, which is, by the way, a type of doctor not recognized as a doctor by the state of New York.

Yeah, but a lot of people that his brother runs.

I mean, I have no problem if you're a naturopath.

Absolutely.

I mean, fine.

Again, I'm not criticizing.

You can do whatever the hell you want.

Right.

Right.

The point here, though is that he Cuomo is on television telling you to follow all the mainstream recommendations of science science

that he's doing this which are not the mainstream recommendations of science science thank you wait wait science thank you that's much better thank you okay

so she uh has uh dr.

lancaster describes how do we recover from an illness covet is a big illness right it's already affecting a lot of people recover from it how do we recover from that illness hint it is not medication medication.

The body has an innate ability to heal itself.

We were born with this vital force

that knows how to heal us.

Okay.

What interferes or what causes illness?

Okay, that's a good question.

What causes illness?

Now, I would say...

Like a bacteria or a virus, for example.

In this particular example, a virus.

Virus is what does it?

But I'm not a doctor like this doctor.

Well, she's not a doctor either.

I'm not a science man like Chris Cuvo's a science man.

Right?

Yes.

So let's see what she says causes all this.

For me, it's been evaluating the electromagnetic energy of the cells.

Oh, okay.

To see whether they're in a coherent flow.

Oh, the flow.

It's the flow of the cells.

Glenn.

Okay.

Now, that was my next guess, I will say.

I should have said it.

Right.

I didn't say it.

Well, you're not into the chakras.

Yeah, right.

You know what I mean?

Oh, she gets lots of, there's lots of chakra talk if that's what she wants.

There is tons of chakra talk from Celia.

I don't have any of those clips pulled, but she does talk about it quite a bit.

Now, you can argue some Republicans' policies are off the mark, but I've never heard a Republican argue that we should cure diseases by the flow of the cells or electromagnetic energy.

Right.

Okay.

Right.

Let's hear more about this science.

Each cell in our body has a positive and a negative flow.

Okay.

And the balance of the positive, the negative is the integrity of each cell.

Okay.

This flow of energy

is

etheric energy because the ether is in all of space.

The ether is in all of space.

Ether, said the doctor.

The ether is in all of space.

So I would just like to point, she sounds like she's very

Asian medicine.

She's very Chinese medicine,

which didn't help the people in Wuhan.

Just

wanted a science!

Okay, so

I'm curious if this is mainstream science.

I don't know.

Maybe I don't know.

Is it Chris?

Because remember, this isn't just some dumb thing his wife recommended in her stupid magazine.

This is literally how Chris Cuomo was treated for COVID-19.

He's criticizing all these Republicans.

This is how he did it.

She talked exactly about how she treated her COVID patients like Chris Cuomo later on.

Listen, food is number one for me.

I use a, for my COVID patients, I use a soup,

a soup called pesata de verdora, which is green soup.

There you go.

Again, I have yet to hear Dr.

Fauci come out and recommend soup.

I'll go a step further.

I haven't heard Donald Trump recommend soup.

No.

He said,

he said hydrochloroquine.

That's what he said.

An actual medicine, a drug prescribed by doctors.

That's right.

That was his his idea.

That was too crazy, but soup.

Soup.

Soup.

Hydroxychloroquine?

No.

Soup.

Yes.

No.

All right.

There were.

I don't know why we bothered with all these vaccines when we had soup.

We had to soup the whole time.

The whole time.

So

you know what it is?

The drug companies, they are just getting rich while the Campbells people had the solution the whole time.

Hang on.

There's more.

More on this, Chris Cuomo.

Science.

In just a second.

Stand by.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It's Relief Factor.

Doug lives in Colorado.

Recently wrote in to tell us about his experience with Relief Factor.

He said, I'd gotten to the point where

I couldn't walk anymore, let alone hike more than half a mile, and I was having to sit down and rest.

I basically switched to bike riding from hiking because I could still get some exercise without so much pain.

I listened to Chris Cuomo and I tried soup.

It didn't work.

I heard on your show about Relief Factor helping people.

October 3rd, I started taking Relief Factor.

And from that day to this, I have been able to hike normally again.

My pain is gone.

Thank you so much, Glenn.

No thanks to the soup.

Well, Doug, I can't say I condone your active lifestyle, but that's just me.

Hiking even half a mile a day sounds absolutely horrible to me.

But hey, to each his

you do you, boo.

Relief Factor.

I want you to call right now and try Relief Factor.

It works for about 70% of the people who try it.

They go on to order more.

ReliefFactor.com, ReliefFactor.com, or call 800-500-8384, 800-500-8384, ReliefFactor.com.

10-second station ID.

Science!

Science!

Science.

Now, soup didn't make everything perfect for Chris Cuomo through his COVID battle.

All right.

There were some bumps in the super science and soup-based cures that he went with.

His wife wrote about his fever.

He had 99 with an afternoon spike of 101.5 and an evening spike, which was aggravated by the full moon.

Now, again, I have not seen...

That's a quote, by the way.

No, it's not.

It is.

Aggravated by full moon.

His His wife said that.

His wife said that's how his fever went up because the full moon.

Now, again, I don't know.

We'll have to ask all the doctors around.

And there's something.

How about the full moon?

The full moon effect on your temperature.

I think I'm enough of a doctor to be able to say the full moon doesn't

really.

Hydroxychloroquine.

That's nuts.

But the full moon fever spike.

If we only had a half moon, he probably would have been fine.

Wow.

Then there was when everything would calm down.

and the moon was gone should we blow up the moon i this is something i'm thinking okay this would be interesting all right now he actually took this quote cure um

it was derived from passion flower olive leaf oh yeah and andrographus oh yeah just a little andrographus okay yeah you just put on top it's known as the indian echinasia and i don't know about you i always import my echinasia from

india every single time yeah she recommends of course famously bleach baths

Bleach, pardon me?

Bleach baths.

Bleach baths?

Yes.

Now,

a quarter to a half cup of bleach in a full tub of 80 gallons.

80 gallons.

That's a massive tub.

How big is Cuomo's bathtub?

That's like a pool.

80 gallons.

How many?

What is it at average?

Average 25?

Average is 30.

30 gallons?

Yeah.

80 gallons.

A big ass tub right there.

He's having some.

I don't know.

Well, maybe he's just

planning on getting very fat.

It's possible.

So think about what has happened here.

Chris Cuomo on television every night criticizing Republicans, conservatives, anybody that he disagrees with politically.

Think how disingenuous this is.

A guy who knows in his private life he was treated for coronavirus with soup.

And a bleach bath.

And a bleach bath.

And olive leaf.

And Indian echinasia and full moon fevers.

That guy is telling you about science.

Come on.

Think of how disingenuous this is.

He knows all this information.

Not everyone in this audience knows it.

He knows that's what he did.

He knows it.

He knows what kind of quote-unquote science-based world he's living in.

And again, you might like this stuff.

Like, this lady totally reminds me of my grandmother who passed away many years ago now, but she's very similar, loved all the natural cures.

If that's you, that's fine.

But you can't sit here and use this big S science critique on the rest of the world when this is your life.

I would have a hard time if I believed in my grandmother's chicken soup and I was, and grandma was, well, I made you some soup, and you'll feel so much better stay out of the rays, the direct rays of the full moon tonight, though.

I would have a very hard time saying, everyone must be vaccinated.

Right.

And they should be made uncomfortable.

Maybe we should even pass laws.

You must have it.

I would have a really hard time saying that.

And he's calling people deniers while at the same time taking bleach baths.

I mean, think of how disingenuous that is.

And it's like, you know, not only, Glenn, is he doing this in his private life?

This is how he chose, the doctor he chose to treat him for COVID-19.

He's also bringing in revenue to his family by recommending these treatments to others.

Nah, he's not.

He's not.

He married some crazy woman.

I don't think that's true.

Nah, the sex was good for a while, and then

they started getting old.

I'm not going to let him off the hook by blaming her because this is his doctor.

His doctor.

His life is a sham.

His wife.

His life is definitely a sham.

He doesn't love his wife anymore.

He's just trying to

get her to not pay attention to the affairs he's most likely having on the side.

But you're like, yeah i'm having the soup thing it's great i'll stay out of the full moon honey i totally disagree he's all in

oh stu you gotta give them the lose lose situations that they always give to us if you've ever had to pay for car repairs after your warranty has expired you know how it usually goes down there's a there's a mechanic smiling at you telling you how much work just has to be done what it's going to cost man

and then showing you the picture of his kids in his wallet.

And

he's like, Thank you for the college tuition for my kids.

They're going to love that.

But does it have to be that way?

The answer is no.

Covered repairs, car shield has your back.

It means that when it's time to get your car into the mechanic shop, they're going to deal directly with that mechanic.

And they're on the phone, so they're not going to be looking at any pictures of his kids.

Whether it's a dealership or somebody of your choosing, you're going to get roadside assistance and a rental car to cover while yours is is in repair.

And then they pay.

They pay.

Welcome to Thursday.

You know, we've been talking about Chris Cuomo and being so disingenuous.

I mean,

he's a holistic guy, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I mean, I grew up in Washington State.

I had, you know, water-logged brain for a long time.

So,

you know, but I grew grew out of it.

I grew out of it.

I do believe in holistic medicine.

Some.

You know, I don't believe that my chiropractor can cure my allergies, but I do believe that my chiropractor

can manipulate my spine and make it feel better.

I do believe in that.

That's holistic.

I believe that essential oils can help you sleep, maybe even reduce a headache.

I don't think that essential oils are going to be the cure for cancer.

You know, a holistic remedy, if you really want to look at it this way,

was the origin of hydroxychloroquine.

It's plant-based.

All right.

I mean, so if you want to believe that stuff, that's fine.

And in fact, I encourage people to try different things.

If that's what you want to do,

I don't know why we can't have experimental drugs if we're dying.

You know, I don't know if that's going to help or not, but give it a whirl, Jack.

And the Trump administration, by the way, went out of their way to make sure that that would go away with their right to try legislation.

Right.

So, and like, again, I don't care.

You could think whatever you want.

But this is like, it's about him being.

a hypocrite.

No, I think it's bigger than even him, though.

He's a great example of it.

But you can't tell me this whole time that you love America, that you're, you know, you're red, white, and blue.

I love America.

We just want to make it better.

You know, I love the founding fathers just as much as anybody else.

And then have Cuba waving American flags and then say, no, they don't want freedom.

They're just, it's this about health care.

No, it's not.

When you have a communist dictatorship that this country has stood against for

70 years now.

And you have the opportunity to support the people when you say, you're not welcome here.

Don't even think about getting on a raft.

You're not welcome here.

And, well, they're not.

Communism, what?

They're not, that's not what they're protesting.

Your actions

say

much more.

than your words do.

And I think the Chris Cuomo being a naturopath or holistic kind of guy, while touting science, you have to listen to the doctors and science.

And he goes to a doctor that isn't a doctor.

That's his own personal choice.

But I don't want to be lectured by somebody like

I don't want Tom Cruise to

tell me every day what medicines I should have my kids take for depression because he doesn't believe it.

In fact, he works actively against it in his private life.

He has no credibility.

That's the problem.

Everybody is pretending.

At least Tom Cruise gets up and jumps on a couch and says, I feel great and I don't have drugs in me.

He's at least honest about what he believes.

That's all that people are looking for.

And everywhere, those cracks are coming out to be just cavernous.

And it is wider than certainly just Chris Cuomo, but Chris Cuomo does it all the time.

This is why there's a ChrisCuomoisworse.com.

AndrewCuomoisawful.com.

ChrisCuomoisworse.com.

That's why they exist.

But I will say this.

Here's a guy who also not only does what we're talking about with science, says everyone about to go with the mainstream science, and then is taking bleach baths to cure COVID.

In addition to that, he's been saying, you know, hey, believe all women, you got to believe the women.

And he's advising secretly his brother on how to spin spin his way out of, what, a dozen different sexual harassment complaints?

Believe all women.

Oh, yeah, you got to believe every woman that comes up and makes an accusation against Brett Kavanaugh.

But certainly, when my brother is being accused, I'm going to go behind the scenes and advise him as a CNN personality.

No punishment comes to Chris Cuomo for a while.

But here's the good.

Well, yeah, no, punishment has come.

Punishment has come.

There are podcasts that do better than CNN.

That's true.

And the ratings are.

You know, the ratings are so horrendous.

Podcasts are beating CNN right now.

The problem is, is that these people are, I mean,

think of how out of touch almost every government is with the people around the world.

China,

Hong Kong, people are up protesting.

I want freedom.

I want freedom.

They become more draconian.

Same thing in Cuba.

The same thing with the EU.

All across Europe, people are wanting their own state back.

They want their own country back.

It's not about they're against other countries.

They just don't want globalization.

And as they say no globalization, what happens?

The globalization guys get more and more draconian.

Look at America right now is screaming for transparency.

We're screaming for honesty.

We're being told lies about us, that we're a horrible racist nation.

No, we're not.

Tell me the country where minorities have a better chance than America.

Tell me, where can you be more free than here?

Go ahead, tell me.

I'd love to hear it.

Because I know people in Africa who are black and they're like,

it's not good here.

It's much better in America.

They are so out of touch while the people around the world are waving American flags.

Our

elites here are telling us the American flag represents

oppression.

The people around the world know that's not true.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be standing there with American flags.

It stands for something.

Now we may have run it through the mud.

We may have made huge mistakes.

We may have done really bad things in the past.

But we are supposed to be striving to be a more perfect nation.

It's not what we did.

It's what we do today and tomorrow.

Let's just say we've been the worst country.

Not true.

Let's just say we've been the worst country in the world.

Great.

Okay.

What are we doing about it today?

And the one thing we don't need to do is slap each other in the face and punch each other in the face and keep running it down into the muck.

Give me a better idea to strive for than

I think everybody is equal.

I think everybody has the right to

be somebody who's taken, you know, bleach baths and

treating themselves with soup.

Fine.

I believe if you believe in the vaccine and you want the vaccine, you should take it.

I believe you should be able to take medicine.

If you're dying, I think you should be able to take medicine that's experimental.

Why?

My body, my choice.

I believe that you have the right

to do really everything that you want to do as long as you're not harming others.

Don't steal.

Don't kill people.

Just live your life and strive to be a better person.

Because I don't think that a government gives you those rights.

I think God gives you those rights.

You're born with that right.

And government should protect you from anybody who's trying to squash those rights or, you know, happen to be just scumbags and are bilking people.

That's what government is for.

Hey, would you watch my stuff so nobody takes it while I'm out doing my life?

That's what a government is for.

You give me a higher goal than that.

Let people be free

and then encourage them to be the best they can be with one another.

Don't tell them what to do.

Don't demand that they do.

Just let them do it and encourage them to be better.

That's our Declaration of Independence.

I don't see a country anywhere in the world that has anything as stirring and as noble as that goal.

Yeah, well, they didn't do it.

Well, what are you doing now?

Are you saying that's not a noble goal?

Let's say that everything you say about the Founding Fathers is absolutely true.

It's absolutely true.

They were scumbags, awful.

They were skinning people alive.

But they wrote that idea down.

We believe that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

And governments are instituted among men to protect those rights.

Because man can rule himself.

He doesn't need an overlord or central planning.

Can you think of something better than that?

Because I can't.

Even if they were the biggest dirtbags, why aren't you saying what Martin Luther King said?

And just say, America, let me remind you of the goal.

Let me remind you of the words that started this country.

Yeah, they were all scumbags.

Well, are we?

Are we scumbags?

Are you a scumbag?

No, I'm a righteous individual.

Then do you agree with all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights?

Do you agree with that?

Well,

the answer will be no.

If push comes to shove, the answer would be no.

And that's all you need to know.

When somebody says, oh, I am just protecting the people.

But all of their actions show that they are not protecting the people.

They are protecting themselves.

They are protecting their their job.

They're protecting their wealth.

Or worse yet, they're growing their wealth and their power because of the protection they're saying they're providing you.

You got a problem.

It's really simple.

America just has to decide.

Doesn't matter what the past is.

Tomorrow, God only knows, we could all be hit by a bus today, be a big bus, but we could all be hit by a bus.

So I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.

Yesterday is gone.

Today,

today,

do you believe in the Bill of Rights and our mission statement as outlined in the Declaration of Independence?

If you do,

then let's go out and change the world

just by being good, decent people that respect other people

and we don't have to have them live the way we want them to live because we recognize they have freedom of choice as well.

That'll never work.

That's funny because that's what King George said.

Mr.

Huxley predicted that someday the entire world would live under a frightful dictatorship.

Who and what?

Are the enemies of freedom?

There are a number of technological devices to accelerate this process of going away from freedom.

If you're likely to get social unrest under such conditions, the Communist Party will be the heirs to this position of power.

Who and what?

Who and what?

Are the enemies of freedom?

Propaganda.

Suddenly people have found themselves in a situation which they didn't foresee and doing all sorts of things they didn't really want to do.

We mustn't be caught by surprise.

Who and what?

Who and what?

Are the enemies of freedom?

Democracy depends on the individual voter making an intelligent and rational choice.

But what these people are doing is to try to bypass the rational side of man and to appeal directly to the unconscious forces below the surface.

These are all instruments for obtaining power and it's extremely important not to let any one man or any one small group have too much power for what are the constitutions except devices for limiting power.

We mustn't be caught by surprise by our own advancing technology.

Who and what?

Who and what?

Are the enemies of freedom?

All these new devices are extremely efficient instruments for the imposition of power by small groups of a larger massive.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

I mean think of that.

That is Huxley back in the 1950s or 1960s talking about how we need to be vigilant and how these new devices that will be coming our way will make it very easy to edit, censor, and deliver propaganda into our homes.

Well, here we are.

Is there any privacy anymore?

They are censoring, they are editing, they are pushing propaganda to your home.

The government is surveilling you.

Is there privacy at all?

Does the Fourth Amendment even exist?

Laura Logan has been working on this story for a while now.

And Lara Logan is going to be joining us in just a few minutes.

You don't want to miss that.

Also, I found a story yesterday in history.

on

on what what a hero really is.

What a hero really is.

one of the most amazing stories i can't believe i've never heard before and i'm guessing you haven't either

of one of the greatest heroes uh true true hero i have ever encountered and we'll tell you about that laura login is next

American Financing.

Oh my gosh, wouldn't you like to deal with some professionals?

Wouldn't you like to deal with people who are just honest in their business dealings and just do what they say?

That's all I want.

Just, can you, as a business, tell me you will deliver the product I'm expecting to receive and you'll do it like I'm not a pain in the ass just from coming in.

God, now I've got to count my money.

Oh, I'm sorry.

American financing will do what they say.

It's a small business mentality because it's a family-owned business.

They started small, I don't know, 15 years ago, and now they are coast to coast, still run by the family, still have those same values.

If you need to get a new loan, mortgage, or refi, or

do a consolidation loan, the people to call American Financing.

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

This

is

the Glenback program.

So is there such thing as privacy anymore?

Does it even exist?

Does the Fourth Amendment, hell, do any of the amendments exist anymore?

But specifically, the Fourth Amendment or the First Amendment.

Do you have a right to free speech?

Do you have a right to petition the government and ask their demand that they answer some questions?

Do you have a right to make sure that they don't retaliate by spying on you?

Are they spying on you?

How about big tech editing and now pushing out propaganda based on an algorithm that they think you might be a danger?

Wow, what has happened to us?

Laura Logan is a journalist and a host of Laura Logan Has No Agenda on Fox Nation.

She's got a special going on and I wanted to talk to her about it

about privacy and surveillance and censorship in the digital age.

She joins me in 60 seconds.

Hey, you know when you, you know, those old bathtubs when you used to have the chain on it, you'd pull a plug and then it would use roll.

Remember that?

That was so cool.

That's what's happening to our society right now.

It's like somebody's somebody's just pulled that.

Yeah, just circling the drain right now.

Somebody's going, ah, cool.

There it all goes.

The values we shared with, I thought everybody

is tattered on the edges, and we don't have a lot left to hold on to.

We can hold on to each other.

And as Franklin said, we all better hang together or we'll hang separately.

This is it.

These are the times that try men's souls.

And there are people that actually believe in something.

And we have to find a way to support those people and those companies that are supporting us and our values because they're fighting for the same thing.

They're not into this globalist plan.

Well, one company is Patriot Mobile.

If you have a chance to do business with a company that still embraces the values we all hold dear, jump at the chance.

Especially when that company is providing the same, if not better, service at a lower price.

That company is Patriot Mobile, and right now they have two offers you can choose from.

Both offers come with premier activation, so it's really easy to switch.

Laura Logan.

Welcome, Laura.

How are you?

Hey, I'm good.

Thank you.

How are you?

It's very good.

Always good to talk to you.

So you, I saw you yesterday, and you were talking about what is happening

with surveillance and privacy and censorship.

And I don't think people really understand

how bad it is.

Does the Fourth Amendment even exist anymore?

You know, Glenn, the Fourth Amendment does exist, and that's really important for people to remember, because if we treat it as if it's already gone then no one will fight to uphold it.

You know they want in a way they want you to think the Fourth Amendment is gone.

That's part of the problem.

You talk to young kids today and they say, ah, so what?

I don't need my privacy.

I'm not doing anything wrong.

And that's because they really don't understand.

We've all, you know, we've been deceived by the tech industry because nobody said, here, take this handy little device, you know, that's going to make your life better and easier in every way and it's be safer because you can call for help and so on and now we're at the point where our phones are tracking us 24-7 and where these people who own these companies own all this information about us they own everything that we say and do literally every single thing so a kid who thinks well I'm using a hidden app right to to send you know racy pictures to my boyfriend well no that it's it might be hidden from your parents it might be hidden from someone who picks up your phone but the person who owns that app owns all those images of you, and they can do whatever they want with them.

And by the way, if they're being stored on a cloud, then

your parent has, and you're underage, your parent is now in possession of child pornography.

And

a few years ago, nobody would have believed that that's the kind of thing the government exploits.

Now imagine you were in the Capitol on January 6th, and they don't have anything on you, but they want to get rid of you anyway.

because they don't like your politics.

Well, now you can be charged with child porn because they have the ability to go through everything and not only that they they have made deals with phone companies.

I never understood Edward Snowden fully.

You know I didn't understand that the programs that he exposed like Blarney and Fairview and all these others these were deals that the phone companies made with the NSA to physically allow them into their sites so that they could download all of our communications that go on our phones.

And they were paid to do it.

So the phone companies made money selling us out.

So the fact that all of these people don't, that they violate the Fourth Amendment doesn't mean that the Fourth Amendment doesn't exist.

What it means is that we're not upholding that right.

And that's what we need to start doing.

Okay, so for people that, there's two questions here.

One, for people who don't know what the Fourth Amendment is, remind the Fourth Amendment,

and then I have a follow-up.

So the Fourth Amendment is our right to privacy.

And people think it's just about, you know, okay, I'm not doing anything wrong or I don't have any secrets, therefore I, you know, I don't care about my privacy.

What were the origins of the Fourth Amendment?

It was really the founding fathers knew that one of the ways that the British prevented them from organizing and rising up and challenging them was preventing them from meeting in private.

Right?

That's the purpose of your privacy is much more than

just being out of public view.

And so there is really nothing that's more central to our democracy than the right to privacy.

I mean, all of those rights in the Constitution have a real purpose and a real value.

And if we allow people to take them away from us, we're voluntarily surrendering that.

We're like lambs to the slaughter.

You know, that's literally what we are.

So the Fourth Amendment also says that you have a right to be secure in your own papers.

And that, again, comes from King George quartering soldiers in people's houses, just going in and just saying they're living with you now and you had nothing to say about it.

And they would go through all of your papers and they would spy on you in your own home.

I have contended for a long time, the Third and Fourth Amendment are being violated right now.

They're not physically quartering soldiers in your home, but they certainly are in your home through all of the apps that they have back doors on.

And they are going through your quote papers.

This is

a real problem.

You're 100% right.

And sort of the physical evid you know, sort of example of that that I think people can grasp onto is Alexa, for example, and the other and the other systems like this.

What you've done is literally give something and you've said, okay, you know, when they show up at your front door, you don't have to let them in, right?

They have to have a warrant.

So in order to go into your private space, whether it's your communications or your home, they have to have a warrant.

They have to do it legally.

And if you, you know, that's why the Pfizer Court actually exists.

When it comes to surveillance, the Pfizer Court is the highest court in the land.

Well, what are the origins of that?

Well, you know, back in the 1970s, they realized that government overreach and surveillance was a real problem.

So they created a surveillance court specifically to monitor this.

And what if we have today?

In May, the Pfizer Court came out with an historic report that was really a massive rebuke of the FBI and law enforcement.

And what it said was that in violation of a 2018 and 2019, two different courts, two different federal judges, ruled that warrantless surveillance cannot be used legally.

It is inadmissible in court.

Well, that happened because of what Edward Snowden revealed.

It happened because of what Bill Binney, an NSA whistleblower before him, what he was warning about years before Edward Snowden.

He inspired actually Edward Snowden.

It's what all of them on the inside saw coming, right, and put out there.

So, what the judges said was: this information that you're getting from the NSA has been taken, it's been gathered without a warrant.

Therefore, you cannot use it because it violates the Fourth Amendment.

Well, the latest report from the Pfizer Court says, What is the FBI doing with regard to January 6th and Trump supporters?

They're using the NSA database.

Once again, they're using the warrantless surveillance, which has been ruled illegal.

Everybody knows it.

There's no hiding it.

So in our one episode, we actually show Robert Mueller way back after 9-11, because I think people forget that he was the guy in charge of the FBI at the time of 9-11.

And he's defending a technique that the FBI uses to hide the origins.

of a case in court.

It's called parallel construction.

And it's where the FBI and other agencies have gone to the NSA database, to this surveillance and this warrantless collection of information, whether it's through the internet, through the internet companies, through the phone systems, through whatever it is.

And they have used that

to spy on you and to prosecute you.

And they create a parallel chain of evidence.

That's what it is.

It's parallel construction to hide the origins of the case and basically to lie to the court because they know that their evidence is inadmissible.

And you know this really comes to mind right now because you have how many Americans are sitting in prison in Washington, D.C.

who have yet to be convicted of any crime and they're in solitary confinement.

You know, Elizabeth Warren and other even Democrat senators have campaigned against solitary confinement.

They call it the most cruel form of torture and extreme punishment.

And you have American citizens on American soil in solitary confinement who have never been convicted of a crime.

And we are silent, Glenn.

And how are they going after all of these people?

What this database of surveillance allows the law enforcement to do is to go back in time through all of your communications, find things to manipulate into

your weaknesses or whatever, anything they want.

But they can go back because everything digital lives forever.

That's how we know, you know, when people are lying, when they say the emails disappeared, right?

Lois Lerna, IRS, Hillary Clinton, you know, they're lying because in the digital world, nothing ever goes away.

So talk to the people who will say,

I don't have anything to hide.

I don't think people understand.

You know,

I was in a mall the other day and

this woman came running out of a store and she said, oh my gosh, you're Glenn Beck.

And she had a very heavy Polish accent.

And I said, yes, ma'am.

And she said, I just can't thank you enough for what you say and what you're doing.

She's like, I came from communism.

I escaped.

What is happening?

And I said,

people here just don't think that way.

We just don't understand what a surveillance and oppressive state really means.

So explain to people who say, I don't have anything to hide.

I don't care.

They can watch everything.

Why is this a danger?

It's a danger because they're not just looking at what you may have to hide.

They're looking at how to manipulate you into doing what they want.

These are control systems.

That's really who they are.

And so what we're ultimately, one of the whistleblowers, not whistle Rose Hackers in our piece, who was very, very,

he was one of the most revered privacy specialists, online privacy specialists in the world before he was targeted.

His name is Jacob Applebaum.

And I think he's one of the most extraordinary people I've ever interviewed.

And he and Julian Assange and another guy, Trevor Fitzgibbon, who was the PR arm of Wikileaks, they were the three pillars of Wikileaks.

You know, Julian, the face of it, Jacob was really the software and the mind behind it, you know, the technological mind.

He vetted all of the Snowden, you know, the NSA documents that Snowden got to make sure that they were real and so on.

And they were all targeted with false rape allegations and their lives destroyed, right?

And Jacob is in self-imposed exile in Berlin but this young man is is really extraordinary mind and he talked to me about the the future of the world is where we become the monitore class i.e you and I and everyone else who's surveilled and those monitoring us and those are really the only two classes in in the future right all of the other stuff left and right and communist Marxist blah blah blah none of that is actually going to matter at all because in the future we are literally separated by those who are monitored and those who are not because monitoring us it encourages us to self-censor right so what do we do we police ourselves why are you going to defund the police you don't need the police because we're going to police ourselves and with the surveillance we will always know who's doing what we can decide who we're going to let get away with the crime or you know and whether there's something and we need you to do something for us we know that you're cheating on your wife therefore you're the guy that we're going to go to or your daughter wants to go to this particular college program.

Okay.

And they look back, oh, her parents, look, they're Christians.

Oh, she's not going to this program.

We don't want any Christians, you know.

And, oh, these people are homophobic or whatever it happens to be.

What they do with the information is they create a human terrain map.

for every single person on the planet.

Anyone who's within a digital signature and within their reach, they are creating a human terrain map that can be used against you by anyone.

It can be private corporations, can be the health insurance companies.

You get your DNA tested at 23andMe.

Well, I interviewed a guy from an HMO, one of these health management operations, right?

And organizations.

And he said they were buying data from 23ME.

That's one of those third-party users that they're selling to.

So they can then determine with your DNA, the health insurance companies can decide whether or not to insure you and how much to charge you.

And you can break that down.

Well, you know, are we going to give you medical care or cancer treatment?

No, you're probably going to die.

So you're going to get to the back of the line.

We're going to decide who gets treated based on survivability.

Or in California, a couple years ago, they made it a law that every child that enters the education system has to be monitored the entire way through because they want to ensure

that they all have equal opportunity.

Well,

how easy is that to manipulate?

So I think what people really don't understand is that this human terrain map generates what is then called a pattern of life.

So it's not just what you do and what you say.

It's when you don't do those things or it's when you change your pattern of life.

They're able to identify changes.

So say for example, you know, when I was attacked and targeted for my reporting on Benghazi, one of the things that was the subversive thing in all the undercurrent behind all the attacks was trying to destroy my marriage and break up my home.

There were actually articles that were sort of hoping and celebrating this idea.

And then they started to attack my husband.

And they tried to suggest that, oh, my husband was

some evil military propagandist.

And the inference was, of course, they could only infer it because it's a complete and utter lie, that this somehow tainted my reporting.

And so what are they trying to do?

When they go after you, when they cancel you, they don't want you to just lose your job.

They don't want Megan Kelly to lose her show.

They want her never, ever, ever to get another job in broadcasting ever again.

When they get rid of Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly,

they don't want you to survive.

They don't want you to be employed anywhere else.

So they want to destroy you financially.

They want to make sure that everyone, when you have financial pressure, it causes friction in homes and in marriages and difficulties in people's lives.

And so you see this over and over and over again.

What do they do?

They want you never to be hired, right?

They're going to say, look what they're doing in corporate America.

They're saying if you were a Trump supporter or you went to the Capitol on January 6th, you have to be fired.

If you're bank with, you're not allowed to bank with us.

You're not allowed Chick-fil-A.

You can't open a restaurant at a gas station or, you know, motor stop along the way because you don't, you're, you know, you're a bunch of

Christians and you don't support transgender rights.

All right.

Stand by.

Lara Logan is with us.

We're going to continue our conversation in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about Grace.

She lives in Texas.

She wrote a while back, talk about her experience taking Relief Factor for her pain.

She said, I have lived for decades in a lot of extreme pain with my lower back and legs.

I heard about Relief Factor on your show.

I tried the three-week quick start.

Within a very short time, even people at work were noticing that my pain was gone.

Personally, I am so grateful to Relief Factor that I have gotten my life back.

I never thought that that was possible.

Grace, you are one of the many, many people who have written in and I've talked to personally that feel this way.

I'm one of them.

Relief Factor, it's not a drug, but developed by doctors.

70% of the people who go on to try it go on to order more.

You can order the three-week quick start for only $19.95.

Laura, I don't know if you have time to

spend another 15 or 20 minutes with me, but I would, you do?

Okay.

Because

I want to talk to you about how they are dealing with the people in Washington, D.C.,

and how they gathered information.

I mean, banking records, everything that can't be done legally, can't be done.

But I also want to talk to you

a little bit now about not just censorship, but now we are being put through an algorithm and we are marked as contaminated or a super spreader.

And depending on which category you fall into, they are now pushing propaganda.

towards us.

So the algorithm is now specially earmarked for you to convince you that you need to be on the state side or the corporate side.

Yes.

You know, the thing about algorithms is there are people who write them and who create them and who manage the data that they gather and who manage the consequences, right?

And so one of the things that I see big tech do is they constantly push this idea of this anonymous algorithm and machine learning and everything, but it's really human beings behind it.

Yeah, don't fear the algorithm.

Fear the people who program the algorithm.

Back with more in a minute.

This is the Glenback program.

All right.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It's RekTech.

Before I got my RekTech, if you wanted a perfectly grilled steak for me,

let's go out.

I will tell you that I burned almost everything that ever went on my grill.

And it was good meat, too.

And now it's like, no.

And I know I'm not alone because I have a neighbor who I went to and he's like, How do you like your steak?

And I said, Medium rare.

And he said, Well, it'll either be raw or it will be burnt.

And I said, I got you, brother.

And he felt really bad.

And I'm like, no, no, no.

That's exactly the way I used to be until I got a RekTech.

RekTech is a grill.

It has smart grill technology so you don't burn everything.

It's a smoker.

It'll even bake.

It's really amazing.

It maintains a constant temperature and makes you look good and makes everything taste really, really good.

We're talking to Laura Logan.

Laura, I saw some stories today that were out, and I want to go quickly on a few things because

I've got several questions I want to ask you.

We only have about 10 minutes left.

But there were stories today

that we have arrested yet more people

for the

January 6th debacle.

This time it was a family and their kids.

And

we've now charged, I think, two grandmothers with what they were going through

on January 6th.

I don't recognize my country anymore.

I think the FBI is absolutely crooked.

They are trying to make an example out of these people, and they are using every bit of technology illegally

to build a case against people.

They went to the banks, they went to the phone companies, and they triangulated where people were, at what time.

They went to the NSA database.

Yeah, and they went to.

The NSA has agreements with everyone.

They are the crown jewel of intelligence collection for the whole world.

We have other nations knocking on the door to get access to that surveillance because

they are able to capture everything everywhere.

So what is

themselves they get from the others.

What is the solution here to this?

I mean, we are now living

in China's dream,

Hitler's dream, Stalin's dream.

What is the solution here?

Well,

the question, basic journalistic question, Glenn, right?

Why?

Why are we in this position and how did we get here?

Well, that's a very telling answer because while we're focused on who the FBI is arresting and what else they're doing, what are they really doing?

They're trying to prove a lie because the whole

drama and hysteria over January 6th is a lie.

I mean, there was, look at all the lies that were told.

They said that Officer Brian Sicknick was

beaten to death by protesters, right?

And his family knew that wasn't true, and he didn't have the coroner's report eventually showed that that wasn't true.

and they they like to say that all these people were killed um in the riots but actually you know people died of natural causes and people died afterwards and so on that's a microcosm one of them is suicide two days later

what it comes down to is antifa and the leftist groups are clandestine organizations whose tactics are to infiltrate they hide their identities you see it on the streets they they have the black block cover their faces they all wear the same clothes so that you know if you can't describe to anyone who you witnessed breaking the windows or

instigating the violence because they all look identical.

This is in their, I didn't make this up.

This is in Antifa's own papers and tactical documents.

You can find a lot of them online at

a website called crimesink.com.

That's where they you know they gloat in podcasts and in papers about taking over the Minneapolis precinct, right, the third precinct, how they did it.

They share and proliferate these tactics all all over the world.

This is a dark network that is very, very organized.

And they love to tell you it's not an organization because it isn't.

It's multiple organizations.

Why do I talk about them?

Well, because the Proud Boys was created as a result of all of this.

They were created as a kind of, you know, white boy.

I'm sorry, that's actually wrong.

Because the Proud Boys has got all different races.

And also gay people, straight people.

It was a response to this attack on sort of, you know, the traditional kind of man, right?

Because the traditional kind of man has been under siege in our society.

And

that's how they began.

But they're funded.

You know, the people who are funding Antifa are also funding the other side because they are creating a problem.

to which they can be the solution.

And, you know, those are the classic tactics of Googles, right?

Because we actually believe, the history records that, you know, the anti-fascists and the fascists, but they're really, if you look at them, what they believe in they're the what the way they operate they're both fascists they're two sides of the same coin they're just fascists fighting other fascists to hold on to have power and dominate and uh and when you look at what the fbi and this uh biden administration is doing it's it's timed perfectly to uh to try to stop what's coming out on the elections what's coming out of these audits georgia is uh you know i don't know if you saw jacket carlson's report last night

but

it was stunning.

You know, it was absolutely stunning.

And the reality is that when you commit fraud on the scale that they did in so many different ways, and I know I'll be, you know, I'll be attacked and I'll be demonized and I'll be dismissed as a lunatic, blah, blah, blah, for talking about it.

But I went months before the election and started being briefed by some of these cyber companies that working this issue.

And

I saw it happen exactly what they had already broken down from previous elections.

And the Democrats themselves did a documentary in the wake of 2016, which was all about how the voting machines are connected to the Internet and how and all the fraud, right?

So the same Democrats who are now saying that you're a complete lunatic conspiracy theorist, if you talk about this, even talk about it, right?

Or ask the question, they were the ones saying the same things in 2016.

So

what I see happening is that these these

this administration is so desperate to create the white supremacist to make that lie true that they are mining all of this surveillance, looking for people to basically hold up as the symbol.

When the courts have failed you and your justice system, your law enforcement, your intelligence agencies, when they've all failed you,

what is built into the American system?

that we the people are the real power.

And if you can be forced to self-center and intimidated and silenced, jailed, put in solitary confinement without even being convicted,

your bank accounts frozen and your life ended, even if you haven't been to the Capitol on January 6th.

If they can do all of that, they can intimidate enough people to stay silent and to not challenge them and to not fight for their rights.

I think there's a line between big tech and government, but I've spoken to cyber experts who really don't believe that that line exists.

There's not.

Laura, I've got three minutes.

So I want to ask you about two things.

We probably only have time to talk about one, but I want to talk about Cuba, but also the riots that are happening after President Zuma's arrest in South Africa.

You have insight on either one of those?

Yes.

So, I mean, you know, Cuba, of course, is really interesting because it's the inconvenient truth, right?

We don't want anyone to see what Marxism and Communism really is because we're selling this to all our young people and all our disaffected people as a panacea.

This is, you know, the problem is all of these rich people in America.

But of course, you know, it's actually the uber wealthy, really rich people in America, who are just getting richer and it's the middle class that's being obliterated.

And what you're seeing in Cuba, I've been to Cuba, you can go to the fanciest restaurant, you have to take your own toilet paper, okay, and because there isn't anything.

And so people there are rising up because you can't, you know what they don't have, Glenn?

They don't have the truth on their side.

that's their problem they've got all this power they've got all this money more money than anybody else Mark Zuckerberg you know he's got unbelievable amounts of money most of the world's billionaires today are progressives and yet with all of that they still can't make it true and that's their biggest problem and that's what's happening in South Africa right now you know I've been on the phone for hours this morning talking to people there my family is there and the situation in Durban is really the most the worst that's where Jacob Zuma the former president is from He's from KwaZulunitel.

That's where I'm from.

I was born in Mother's Hospital and raised there.

And what you're seeing now is last night I was really working on this because obviously I'm very worried about everyone's safety.

No one has ever seen violence on this scale

and at this speed.

And even during apartheid, when I was a journalist there, I can tell you it did not happen this way.

So, you know, this started as

a corruption issue within the South african uh political power structure where you know the former president was just so corrupt i mean everyone can see it but uh he's got all these other corrupt politicians because there are many they've got no other option right this is their only shot chaos it may have a one percent chance with chaos or maybe a ten percent chance whatever it is but without chaos they've got no chance So they've got nothing to lose.

And who else has nothing to lose?

If you cheated during the election and you're being found out in Georgia and Arizona, by the way, Arizona Senate is going to have a live hearing on the election audits on Thursday morning, right?

You also have everything to lose and nowhere else to go.

So that's why I'm very worried that there's going to be some kind of big, you know, inverted commas white supremacist terror attack that will prove the lie.

Because that way they can prevent any of this evidence coming out.

They can justify all kinds of extreme action.

And they can make it true.

Because Because everybody knows that if you're really doing an insurrection, you don't take pictures of yourself and post them on Facebook.

You don't identify online that you're a member of this and a member of that.

I mean, it's,

you know, it's ridiculous.

And there are very clear patterns of operation there that show that at least within those people on January 6th, there were operators of some kind, you know, with a vested interest in shifting things in the direction they wanted it to go.

And that's a very common tactic.

So if people think that sounds conspiratorial, they're blind.

They're deaf, dumb, and blind to what's been happening around us for the last few years.

And South Africa is very worrying right now because the pandemic set the conditions worldwide for chaos.

We could all see it coming.

We knew that the response was out of proportion to the problem.

I mean, I was in Liberia at the height of the Ebola epidemic.

You had a 99.99% chance of dying if you got Ebola.

Compare that to COVID.

And that's, you know, my uncle died just a few days ago ago from COVID.

So I'm not being disrespectful to anyone who has suffered through this.

I have had COVID, my children, my husband.

We were lucky enough to be able to get the medical treatments that treat this.

And these are medicines that have been around for decades, that were withheld by people with power in order.

I mean, you know, it looks like, right, any logical conclusion is that if you didn't want people to have the remedies that were cheap and available all over the world, then you had another interest in ensuring that this disease proliferated.

And in South Africa and in other places, COVID has eviscerated the middle class.

And

that is what is a telltale sign.

And the other thing I will tell you is that, you know, I have been shocked to find that in South Africa in the last 10 years, the same

culture of woke, you know, woke culture and woke politics and critical race theory and all of these ideas have been proliferated worldwide.

That's what's happened with technology.

You know, Twitter and Facebook and all, everyone knows that Google doesn't show you the search results that actually reflect the answer to your question.

They show you the search results that reflect the world they want you to see.

That's in a, there's a linked video actually that

was, you know, that anyone can see that.

They don't have to take my word for it.

And Google can determine who wins an election and who doesn't.

And that's on every level, right?

And the same with Facebook.

Politicians today don't think they can get elected without Twitter and Facebook.

So there's no leadership coming from the Republican side.

There's no one standing up to these companies.

They have allowed a situation to exist in the cyber world where there is already one world, by the way.

It is only one world.

You know, borders don't mean anything.

Laws don't mean anything.

Antitrust laws in the U.S.

are not enforced in cyberspace.

So

they act like you're a lunatic and a nut if you talk about one world.

But when you go to the World Economic Forum and you see they want, you know, they want

a global tax on wealth.

I know.

And look at the news today that the Biden administration has invited the U.N.

to investigate the U.S.

on race.

Yeah, we are.

It's insane on what's going on.

Tomorrow, I'm going to be talking about the actual

central planning.

that I found in

The Economist magazine, where

they're openly talking about how we need to now have global central planning it is terrifying laura logan journalist she's a host of laura logan has no agenda uh the fox nation series she has a new one on big tech you don't want to uh you don't want to miss that as always laura thank you so much

appear to be a place that he's going to return to anytime soon yeah i mean uh

It's pretty dark.

It's pretty dark.

The Arabs tell this is only cowards fear winter.

The Arabs tell us endless sunshine makes a desert, but more, endless sunshine means no seasons, no fall or winter.

So the years pass unnoticed, and time sneaks up on you until you wake up at 40 with roommates and a hoodie.

And you go to your job at the movie theater, selling popcorn.

The end.

Ooh, dark.

It is a little the patron saint of asshats, which I think is really.

Oh, that's a really funny one.

That's a really good one.

We're going to talk to him coming up in just a second.

It's a new book of poems about how awful Los Angeles is and

California and the beaches.

His poem about the beaches not really uplifting

at all.

He must have had a very, very bad time.

I'm guessing he didn't didn't find a girlfriend in Los Angeles

because this seems like it was written, you know, alone at night in a very small, crappy apartment with a hobo out the window

with a flickering light that says liquor just outside.

Rough Greens is our sponsor this half hour.

I gave it to my dog Uno.

Stu gave it to his dog Miles, who is President Miles still limping around?

He's still ticking.

Yeah.

He's 17 now?

17 years old?

I think he's 17.

He might be 60.

He's almost as old as Joe Biden.

Yeah.

In dog years, he's almost as old as Joe Biden.

Almost as old.

And he has more of his senses and his skills.

He's still awake like, you know, a good five, 10 minutes a day, more than Joe Biden.

But when he's awake, he loves his rough greens.

Uno is the same way.

From the new book, Los Angeles is Hideous.

Poems about an ugly city.

Pretty as cinder blocks smeared with lipstick.

Oh, blight of traffic and concrete dumpsters, thy principal building material is bathroom tiling grout.

Drenched in sunlight as compensation, like a chef at Applebee's, drowning freeze-dried sadness in cheese to hide the shame,

the shame.

All the beauty of a parking lot, and yet, ironically, You'll never find a parking space.

Watch them toss palm trees at strip malls to gussy up the streets like injecting Botox into a corpse.

Behold the concrete slabs with squares gouged out where dreamers peek from cramped rooms to gaze at hobos masturbating into open sewers.

Tis not a city.

But a meat grinder that devours skinny hopefuls and burps out chunks of porn star.

Los Angeles is a prison yard with sparklers, chugging champagne beneath an overpass, a public toilet with a boob job.

Instagram filters on a dead harlot.

The end.

This written, this book is Los Angeles is Hideous, Poems About an Ugly City by a good friend of ours and a former coworker, Andrew Heaton.

Welcome, Andrew.

How are you?

I'm great.

There are surreal moments in life where you go, this is not what I thought would be happening with my career.

I didn't think I would have Glenbeck reading poetry I wrote, but you knocked that reading out of the park.

I gotta say, that was a wonderful moment.

Yeah, well, thank you.

Thank you.

I kind of do it for a living.

That's true.

So

you weren't in a good space when you wrote this.

May I set the scene for you?

Yes.

So I moved to Los Angeles in January of 2020.

Now, if you will recall.

May I just

why?

Ah, good question, Glenn.

I moved to Los Angeles for the networking, Glenn.

For the networking.

I knew I wasn't going to like Los Angeles, but I was going to be at parties with producers and models, you know,

making comedy, right?

Right.

Yes, it was the most expensive rent in my life at a 600 square foot box, but I wasn't going to be in it that much.

I was going to be at diners meeting producers, right?

Cut two, four months later, we're heavy into lockdown.

I am in a bathtub eating Oreos out of a bowl of milk with a ladle because I'm too depressed to do dishes.

And I go, I don't think I can live in this city anymore and began jotting down my thoughts on it and walked through it in the book that you just read from.

Right.

So this is therapy.

Yes.

This is very much therapy.

Yeah.

You.

To say you didn't like Los Angeles

is a bit of an understatement.

Am I wrong?

I think it is an aesthetic monstrosity.

And I just, every time I went through it, I just, why would anyone allow this thing to happen?

And it just,

it's just this giant asphalt carbuncle of varicose veins of traffic holding together strip malls and rusted laundry machines.

And it's just everything, everything I aesthetically care about in life.

Like, I think Edinburgh is probably the prettiest city in the world.

It has a castle.

It has cobblestones.

And then then Los Angeles is just this, oh, this, it's like if

you poked a cyclops and all the fat bubbled out and then congealed into cement.

And I just walked around gaping at it all the time.

Wow.

And I was like, I have to.

But at least the people were good.

You know, okay, well, I don't know.

I didn't get to meet it at the people.

I was eating Oreos in a bathtub with a ladle most of the time.

Well, I'll say that the thing that people generally say is, okay, granted, it's not the prettiest city, but there's a beach, though.

It's near a beach.

And I get that.

I'm not a beach guy, though.

I don't like sweating.

I also happen to think beaches are just a desert with a hole at the end.

And my recreational goal is not to try to get tired and sleepy next to a bunch of dead fish and sharks.

And so for me, all of that was lost.

So I was like, I don't care that it's sunny all the time.

Yes, I'm very happy to not be there anymore.

And I'm glad that somehow that became the gorgon-faced muse that would activate my poetry career.

So let me ask you this.

I'm just going to quickly read Los Angeles the River.

Hold on just a sec.

Behold.

Now go ahead.

Go roll the music here.

Behold the mighty Los Angeles River.

A lengthy concrete drainage ditch.

Wide as a shoebox, pretty as a penal shower, dribbling pollution into the city.

But if a river but trickles through a mortar gutter, is it a a river at all or just a leak for some distant dehydrated mountain with an engorged prostate and bad aim twice a year the rain gets lost or drunk and shambles through la sloshing life back into this trough but the rest of the time it's merely the seepage of urban incontinence

The end.

Again, well done.

I have to say

I now wish I'd made this an audiobook and just got a glint back.

Oh, if you do this.

Oh, I'll cut it for you.

I would

love to cut this for you.

There's not really a happy ending in any of these.

No, in fact, the last poem is called The Big One, where I talk about if the Earth ever needs an enema, it would probably start with Los Angeles and just slough off into the drink.

No, it's, you know,

probably redeeming qualities to Los Angeles.

I didn't get to enjoy them.

I think I would probably risk harming myself if I stuck around long enough to try and explore them.

So, no, it's mostly just working through the aesthetic monstrosity that is Los Angeles.

There is, you mentioned the people, there is, there is a very brief poem in there called.

Wait, I have to, I have to give me the first bed, please.

The big one.

One day, the tectonic plates themselves will shudder at the ugliness, the traffic, the cost, the cilantro.

And the city will

wail and clatter like Jenga blocks at closing time.

Saith Earthquake?

Nay, the earth itself is gagging.

When she finally retches hard enough and lets loose the big one, this wretched people clot, this horrible, this horrid asphalt carbuncle will sloth into the drink and the prophets shall come,

and the prophets shall proclaim, lo,

the earth has given herself an enema.

People clot is an interesting way of looking at it.

It really is.

And it is kind of a people clot.

It's just massive.

Yeah, there's so many people there.

You know what?

I'll try.

I'm not going to go on a political tirade.

I'm going to really try hard not to go on a political tirade.

The reason that it's this giant urban, massive urban sprawl is because back in the 40s, I'm not making any of this up.

The city fathers were afraid black people were going to get houses.

And so

they outlawed apartment complexes because they didn't want black people to live in the neighborhoods.

And they thought they probably live in apartments.

That seems to be the thing.

So we'll outlaw them and we'll make it so you can only have houses.

Like 80% of the housing that you can have in Los Angeles has to be single-family units because they never got rid of that.

So the city has to spread out.

It has to spread like maple syrup on a driveway because it's illegal to build up.

So, you know, what's weird is Phoenix has somewhat of the same story.

They just didn't want to become Los Angeles.

And so they didn't build freeways.

Really?

Yeah.

For a long time.

For a long time.

Up until the 80s, there were no freeways in Phoenix.

And they were like, we'll just keep it small.

You know, if we don't have freeways, then we won't have any traffic.

And it didn't work out for them.

Didn't have anything to do with black people.

Okay.

But Los Angeles is something special, I guess.

Yeah.

And like they seem to be fine now in that regard, I think, but they've kept the old awful housing regulation all the same.

And it's like it's one of those things when you're walking around, you're seeing this massive sprawl.

It doesn't have to be that way, but they've kept it on the books.

And it just, oh, I drive around, you get stuck in traffic for an hour and a half.

And you're like, this is because of old dead racists that tried to mess with the housing market.

That's why this is happening.

And you haven't fixed it yet.

Yeah.

So, what was your escape plan?

Because, I mean, if you just enter a lease in January 2020, I mean, you're committed for some time.

I did find a person to take over the lease for me.

And then I.

Wow, somebody dumber than you.

Yeah, exactly.

Right.

Well, if I was going to find a city, I managed to find one.

And

he took the lease.

Every single U-Haul was booked.

Gavin Newsom should be the U-Haul employee of the year.

And I couldn't find it.

So I left most of my furniture.

He got my bed, all my stuff.

You just left.

You just abandoned it.

You were like,

I did a reverse clamp at family or like Jode family, like grapes of wrath, like right down the highway in my truck, like playing hillbilly music and then reverse, just escaping.

And then

I went and bought a 13-foot fiberglass camper from an 86-year-old guy named Dave who sold it to me because he just got married and he didn't think it was big enough for him and his wife.

And then I lived out of that for five months.

This is true.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait.

Can you go back on that story?

That wasn't both explanatory.

Catch all that.

I don't know if I heard it right.

I left L.A.

And with all my stuff in my car,

not all your stuff.

Not all, with a quarter of my birthday possessions that had managed to flee the city with me.

I bought a 13-foot, which is to say a pretty short, fiberglass camper that looked like an egg from an 86-year-old guy named Dave.

Got that money.

Who sold it to me because he just got married.

He just married.

I think a 75-year-old lady.

So

he did not think it was sufficient for them to vacation in.

So I bought that from him and then just lived out of that for five or six months.

Wow.

Kind of in a van down by the the river.

Yeah.

So that's why I said at the beginning in the commercial that I did

for American Financing, hey, how's your financial world working out for you?

I'd love to ask the next guest because I'm guessing not real well.

My retirement plan consists of buying lottery tickets and hoping I'm special.

Wait, but no, that's not true because we have in our midst here potentially the number one poet on Amazon.

I mean, you're very close, right?

I think I I was number 20.

Okay, I was number 200 on humor yesterday, number 20 in poetry.

So apparently I'm a better poet than I am funny, which is a surprise for me at this point in my career.

But I'm number 20.

I think if I get to number one, I become National Poet Laureate of the United States.

I think that's

how it works.

I think at least of California.

That'd be great.

So, okay, let's make this number one in poetry.

Can we please?

Los Angeles is hideous.

Poems about an ugly city.

I bought a Kindle version of it today.

Thank you.

Would you sign my Kindle?

I would would be happy to sign my Kindle.

I'll etch my name into the back.

Los Angeles is Hideous.

Poems About an Ugly City.

I think this book should be everywhere.

Everywhere.

Because it tells the truth in a very

poetic sort of way.

It tells the truth about all of the light and the...

and the love that you can find in Los Angeles.

Back with more in just a second.

Standby first.

Our sponsor this half hour is Goldline.

Buying gold is a hedge against insanity.

In fact, if he would have bought some gold, he wouldn't have had the money that, because he had no money in his pocket anyway, probably wouldn't have had the money to go to Los Angeles.

And the people in Los Angeles would have looked at it and go, that's crazy.

Here, let's go poop on the beach.

Anyway, gold is a great hedge.

They do that, don't they?

Yes.

He was looking at me and I was like, no, they do that.

I mean, I didn't go to the beach, but yeah, probably.

It's like a big litter box.

Wait, wait, wait.

How long did you live there?

I lived there for like six months.

And you never went to the beach.

I went there one time.

Again, it's a litter box with dead fish.

I don't have any desire to go, but I went there one time.

All right.

I would have, man, that would have been a series.

That would have been a great series.

Just you in Los Angeles.

Goldline has come into possession of very rare,

some of the most historic coins in U.S.

history.

It's the

$5 gold Indian head.

It's extremely close to the Liberty coins, which I buy, the old, you know, pre-1933 Liberty coins, but this is even rarer.

It's the Indian Head gold coin.

They're beautiful.

This week only, Gold Line is offering a pre-launch special before they offer the products to the general public.

They're going to start doing that next week.

Right now, you have a chance to buy these.

They're good until they're gone.

Each tube of an Indian head coin, if you purchase one, you will get a brand new 2021 Type 2 2 Silver Eagle and a copy of what I think is the best preparedness handbook out there, the Crisis Preparedness Handbook.

It makes it really easy.

You get those at no additional cost.

The offer is available only this week and while the inventory lasts.

Call Goldline today.

They're standing by to talk with you at 866 Goldline.

That's 866Goldline.

10 seconds station ID.

So

are you like a hobo now?

I mean, do you have a place where you live?

Are you still living in

the great city of Tulsa?

I moved there and I got a grant to live in Tulsa.

I don't know if this has popped up in the news feed for anybody, but there's this thing called Tulsa Remote, and they induced me to move there, having a great time.

Wait, wait, wait.

There's a what?

So wait, what is the program?

Oh, there's there's a program where they're they're trying to attract, I guess, brilliant poets like myself.

I don't know what the criteria are, but what a waste of money that is.

Holy.

If you get accepted to said program, you're given a lump sum, or you're given like a a monthly stipend and then a lump sum at the end of the year.

And so my new retirement plan is convincing cities to pay me money to live in them.

And Tulsa is a nice one.

Convincing cities?

Is this not how regular finances work for me?

You don't look out for grants to live in a culinary.

That doesn't seem like a good investment for Tulsa.

No, they're getting a good suit collection.

I'm a nice guy.

I'm like, and what is it you have to do for Tulsa?

I have to live there.

That's the deal.

That's the deal.

You have to live there, and

I have to be a remote worker because they don't want you competing with anybody.

Now, I've been to Tulsa.

It's not a place where I would feel like they'd have to pay you to live there.

It's not Los Angeles.

It's much nicer.

Way more trees, better tree-to-human ratio.

It only takes 20 minutes to get from one side to the other.

It's nice.

And I'll say, something that I actually really like about mid-sized cities that I hadn't anticipated is

I think they facilitate a melting pot better than large large cities do.

Because, like, when I lived in New York, you kind of clump with people that are similar to you, not thinking about it.

In Tulsa, there are two cigar bars.

So, if you like cigars, you're going to meet every black, Latino, gay, transgender person in Tulsa who likes cigars.

We all are friends, and we get along and we hang out, and it's nice.

So, I'm having a good time.

That's not surprising to me.

That's not surprising to me.

You're right.

In New York and Los Angeles, I think that's what happens.

You wind up walling yourself off in these little communities inside of these communities.

Well, because every other community is so hostile to your community.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

You're like,

don't tell anybody, but I'm whatever.

Fill in the blank.

And the other side is like, if you find any of these guys, kill them.

See, conversely, Tulsa is great because you're allowed to just shout compliments at strangers from moving automobiles.

Like, not cat call, but like, I'll just roll down the window and like yell at couples on dates and be like, you look fantastic.

And they'll like, they're like, thanks, mister.

Because we're basically in the 50s.

They'll go off to the sock op or whatever.

I like that.

Go eat Oreos in a bathtub.

Yeah, I like that.

So

you took a mutual friend of

ours,

or she took you home last night.

Yeah, well, yes, by which you mean her and her husband drove me to a friend's house.

Yeah.

For a second, I thought I had a more fun evening than I did.

I was like, this is great.

I'm surprised I found out from Glenn that I took somebody home.

And I was like, oh, no, she just gave me a ride.

But she said that

have a pretty convincing impression of me.

Oh, yeah.

I've got, okay, I've been working on a Glenn Beck impression.

Really?

Yeah.

Can I, all right.

Stu,

would you ask me if I like bananas, if Glenn likes bananas.

Glenn, do you like bananas?

Have you ever seen a man die

from potassium withdrawal?

Not a good way to go.

So that's my Glindbeck impression.

Wow, that's great.

Thank you.

That was very good.

Wow, that's great.

Does it apply to all of it always about people?

It needs to be deep, a little ominous, and involving potassium.

That's what I figured out.

So, like if I said,

hey, how are your kids?

They're great.

Now.

Because

everything is taking place in the vestibule of the apocalypse.

Right.

Yes.

So as long as you can see the apocalypse from where the statement's coming from,

you're on.

Andrew Heaton, the host of his own very successful podcast, The Political Orphanage,

comedian and now the author of the new book, Los Angeles is Hideous.

It is a true story

and poems written from the heart.

Andrew Heaton, as always, good to have you here.

Good to be here.

Thank you.

Where are you going from here?

I'm hanging out until I go on Stu's show later today.

Yeah.

No, yeah.

I mean, we're still on the air.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, my bad.

It's okay.

He's allowed to mention my show on the air.

No, he's saying nothing.

Not on this program.

Yeah, I'll be here the rest of the day.

I'll probably head back to Tulsa tonight or Tulsa.

I mean, what are you going to do from here?

Are you going to be doing comedy clubs or are you just going back home to eat?

I mean, I assume National Poet Laureate will be the thing.

Yeah, I'll do that.

I'll probably travel around the summer.

We'll just start doing live meetups.

Might go to Scotland again.

In other words, you have up until the end of today planned.

Yes.

For retirement purposes.

You'll be playing Milk Through Your Nose and Yuck Yucks in Salt Lake City

till the end of September.

Los Angeles is hideous.

The new book, get it now.

This is the Glenback Program.

All right, you then.

Let me tell you about another book that is out.

This one, this was not quite as funny as Andrew's book, but

something that will actually be good for you and for our future.

We need to be able to teach the principles of America and the principles that built us, the principles of the free market and our own history.

If we're going to have an America left, we must grab on to our own history.

And what book can you get?

Well, if you have little kids, I want you to check out, please, Tuttle Twins Books.

They are really, really good and they teach important lessons about freedom, how limited government is better for society, personal responsibility, how the free market works.

I know it doesn't sound like it would be kid, something that the kids would like, but actually they are really, really good.

I just got.

I just have to give you.

We're going to get to the interview here in a second, but I have to get to one more poem in Los Angeles is Hideous, Poems About an Ugly City.

It is fantastic.

Beaches are overrated.

Yes, there's a beach.

There are beaches everywhere.

Drive an hour north or south.

And there are still beaches.

only with less traffic and cheaper rent.

You could be a shoe salesman there too, you know, or some other survival job, but keep more hard-earned cash.

You won't though, because you're a moron and think status can be gained through osmosis by living in the same zip code as famous people.

It's one long beach.

But here, but here specifically, Monthly rent is $2,000.

An average

salary is exposure and pocket pocket change, which leaves little in the way of food or a 401k

because, you know, math.

But there's a beach.

Oh, and I love beaches because I enjoy getting sleepy and hot in a stretchy litter box near sharks and dead fish.

My friend, beaches are just deserts with a hole at one end.

That's Andrew Heaton.

Los Angeles is hideous.

Optimistic.

It's so good.

We would like to continue

our wonderful salute to the great state of California by bringing back somebody that we talked to, gosh, must have been eight months ago, maybe a year ago.

Dave Folds.

He's the owner of Crony Sports Grill

that is in the city of Agora Hills.

and

they have been trying to put this guy out of business for I don't know how long.

He's been trying to save his business.

Now he seems to be up against a new obstacle

which makes no sense to me whatsoever, but it's California.

Dave Folds, welcome to the program.

How are you?

Good, Glenn.

Thanks for having me on the show, man.

I just appreciate you being such a patriot and helping us out big time.

Right now, you know, we've been dealing for months now.

We stayed open dining outside for a couple months when there was this shutdown because we needed to survive.

And

we had a tremendous amount of support, but of course there were some people who were very upset with it.

One of them was the county of Los Angeles.

And they would find me and cite me.

They still come in, the county health, twice a week,

and they cite me.

And we're dealing with them, and we're moving forward, and I think we're making some headway with them.

In fact, in September, we have our appeals hearing with them.

It's an administrative hearing.

It's not like a real court hearing.

But the big problem, the kicker is right now, the city of Agora Hills, this small little city,

inserted themselves into this fight also.

And they're taking me and my partners to criminal court, literally criminal court, where I could spend up to a year in jail because I am operating, as they say, without a health permit.

And they say I don't have a business license either, which is the crazy thing about it is they made this new requirement.

In order to have a business license, you need a health department clearance, also.

It's almost like they planned this whole thing out to set me up.

Oh, my gosh.

Glenn,

it's the craziest thing.

And my health department, my health permit is really under appeal because

I'm getting my due process, which takes a while sometimes, but it's not good enough for them.

And

it's not because you're grinding up mice or rats from the street.

It's because your health department thing,

your permit was

being contested because of COVID, right?

Exactly.

Just because we stayed open.

We have the cleanest, we have the highest standards.

We have this giant A that was in our front window, which they literally took out.

They just pulled it off.

They have a grading system in the Los Angeles area.

Anyway, it's just, it's the only reason is because

they didn't like that I was open and I defied their order.

And

I have to tell you some even other restaurants and other businesses were upset that I stood up I stayed open when in fact they should be thanking me for pushing back because if it wasn't for people pushing back Glenn this may still be going on.

Oh, I could guarantee you if it wasn't if it wasn't for the recall I think absolutely positively this would still be going on

Yes.

Oh, yeah, with the governor.

But you know the recall is happening in a lot of different places Glenn.

There's a lot of people out there and organizations pushing Just adjacent to us is Ventura County.

And there's this lady, Linda Parks, who wanted to sue all of the businesses that stayed open.

And there was a handful of them, about five.

And now there's a recall.

She's getting recalled.

By the way, they dropped all the cases against the businesses that stayed open.

And LA should do it also.

You know, especially with restaurants, there's so many restaurants that have gone out of business and businesses that have gone

out of business.

And they actually,

the remedy they want they made us an offer the city of a gorilla hills they said that uh we'll drop the case if you close your restaurant and pay a fine and and close our restaurant until we get until we get our help from it back but we we don't even have a meeting to get our help from it back for another two months but they want us to close immediately and lay people off it's just crazy

i have to tell you uh i mean it is the destruction of the working middle class that's what this is it is the dis it is the purposeful destruction of people who have built a life and a business for themselves.

And I don't understand how anybody with any kind of reason, but you're living in a place without reason.

I mean,

what are your neighbors saying?

What are the people saying?

Well, it's funny you say that because last night

was the last opportunity to talk to the Agora Hills City Council before

our court case because they're off on their next meeting.

And we probably had, it was wonderful.

We had about 250 people from the community come.

About

50 of them spoke on the microphone because we weren't on the agenda, but they did let people, which was, I appreciate them doing that.

They let everybody talk.

We came in in power, dude.

They started the meeting off

saying the Pledge of Allegiance, man.

And there was 150 people just yelling it out.

It was passionate.

People had tears in their eyes.

I've never seen anything like this before.

Now, wait a minute, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Is that on the agenda in Agora Hills?

Do they usually start with the Pledge of Allegiance?

Yes, they did.

They started with the Pledge of Allegiance.

Good, all right.

Which is great.

Yeah, it is.

And it is, you know, but I think usually about 10 people show to these meetings, you know, they have this nice little council room where, you know, like an auditorium.

But let me tell you, it was, it got, someone started, we started saying it louder and louder and louder.

And it's just like, it's, it's that, if you listen, some people, you know, you go to school for years and you, and you say that

we'll see how much longer that happens but you say that for years sometimes you don't listen to the words the words are just

and and and we and we yelled it out and and I felt like John Hancock you know writing your name really big just just being really proud but the the support we have was great

and from what we understand

it's a five-member council and three voted to to to charge us and two didn't and it was a closed door meeting when this when they made these this vote some time ago.

We asked them to re-vote, but they said they couldn't do it at this meeting.

But the crazy thing about it,

two of the people who voted against us early on to press charges against cronies,

one didn't attend at all.

She wasn't there.

And the other person was on a Zoom call.

And I tell you, she was making these smirks.

And

when people were talking, and just like,

someone claimed that she even said the B-word to somebody describing them.

You could read her lips watching her on the monitor.

So I just can't believe that the city of Agora Hills inserted themselves so unnecessarily into this fight when the health department's already dealing with it, when businesses are struggling the way they are, when employees need their jobs.

What's happening to you is happening to other restaurants where they have to go in for the renewal of their health permit, yada, yada.

And the city of Los Angeles is not pursuing any of this.

They're just working it out, correct?

Well,

with me, the county of Los Angeles is the one who is in charge of our health permit.

And we have,

it's a process.

It's an administrative project.

Right, but it's not the county of Los Angeles that's coming after you.

right?

No,

I have a dealing with a case with them yet, but

it's making forward progress.

But the city, for whatever reason, after everyone was open, is inserting themselves into this also, wants to get in the ring with us also, oh, unnecessarily.

And by the way, this little city of Agora Hills also doesn't, they have to outsource their attorneys.

So they're probably paying tens of thousands of dollars to a private law firm to

charge us, to charge Lil Crony Sports Girl, one of the last mom-and-pop places around.

You know,

you can go across the country.

You travel the country.

Every shopping center looks the same, whether you're

in

Atlanta or if you're in, you know, wherever, Miami.

It's all the same.

So, Dave, I honestly don't know if this could even be done.

And I can't believe I'm saying that in America.

But, you know, if they start to say that you're forced to close,

I'd sure love to come out and broadcast from your sports grill.

Let me tell you, Glenn, you know what?

I get you.

We have the coldest beer in town.

I have the best thing with the city.

I'm an alcoholic, so probably not a good thing.

It would be a good show.

Don't get me wrong.

It would be a very good show.

Well, let me tell you, I have great soda.

Dave,

I'm going to have you talk to my producers.

I don't even know what it would take to get that done

on location there

in the Los Angeles County.

Jesus, and they would charge me by the day on taxes too.

They're just nightmares out in California.

But I would love to stand with you, Dave.

I would love to stand with you.

Listen,

I would be so proud, and

hundreds of people would be so proud to meet you.

You've done already so much for Crony Sports Grill.

You've done so much for America.

And you're a smart man, and you're a common sense guy.

And I'm just,

I really appreciate you reaching out and

helping me again.

You got it.

Dave, thank you.

Thank you so much.

And

you might want to consider moving, but that's just me.

Dave Folds, the owner of Crony's Sports Grill in the city of Agora Hills.

If you're anywhere near there, pop on by and grab a cold beer for me.

Thank you very much, Dave.

I appreciate it.

Okay, thanks, brother.

You take it easy.

You bet.

In a modern world like ours, where cyber criminals are working really hard to overtake regular criminals, you know, and be the dominant species of knuckle-dragging thugs, you have to be really, really careful.

You absolutely have to have some kind of an eye on every internet source route, which your money is going to be, you know, identified and your identity is possibly going to be taken along with your money.

If you're doing it the right way, the protection comes in the form of life lock.

Now, they can't protect against everything everything because it is massive what's going on right now.

But I'll tell you, they're the best in the business.

And if something does happen, they don't just alert you and go, hey, Saw, it looks like your credit is going to be screwed.

See ya.

They actually call you, warn you, I think something might be happening.

And then they have a team that works with you to make sure it's all cleaned up.

And that is really the important part, I think.

I haven't had that problem, but they've called me several times and and said, hey, are you doing this?

Are you opening this account?

And no.

And it stopped.

It's LifeLock.

The Glenbeck Program.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

We have got to get it to Agora Hills.

We have to do it.

This would be fun.

Yeah.

I was like, well, it would be for us.

And then I saw deep-fried cheese bites, and I was like, yeah, we should go.

We should write it.

Let's get it right.

We're talking about cronies Grill who they're trying to shut down

because of

real paperwork nonsense.

And I don't know why people keep insisting on putting people out of business.

I mean, he had an A health department rating.

They came and took it out because they were pissed at him that he didn't close for COVID.

And

he is now, you have to have a health permit to be able to get a business license.

And because the health permit, the hearing is in September, he can't get the business permit.

And so the city of Agoria Hills is like, you don't have a business permit.

You can't open.

You can go to jail for this.

Yeah.

But he could also invite some friends who

have a big invite list themselves to go to Agora Hills with us.

This won't shake up the community at all.

It's going to turn out really well.

I think it's going to turn out well.

I think it will.

This will be a lot of fun, though.

Yeah.

And look, these businesses deserve support.

And I know the audience, they deserve supported them already.

Yeah, they deserve the support from their communities.

I don't know what these people are thinking.

Every community should be looking at these businesses and saying, how can we help you?

How can we make this easier for you?

You've just gone through a year of hell.

It's because of these damn socialists who have absolutely no idea how to run a business, no idea what it takes, couldn't run a business, couldn't do it.

Oh, but they know best.

They're going to tell you exactly what to do.

Oh, man.

Oh, I would like to invite the city council to come.

That'd be fun.

That'd be fun.

Unbelievable.

I mean, look, this is all over the country, too.

You know, so many people who happen to just, a lot of them are,

you know, America-loving, patriotic people, law-abiding who just happen to live in states where their government isn't.

And they're just being victimized by these tyrannical governments all over the country.

If people don't stand up,

they're just going to run roughshot.

Well, this is a good example of it, too.

It's like it has stopped in a lot of places.

We are past a lot of the stuff, and they're just now just getting revenge on people that annoyed them earlier.

That's what's happening here.

Yeah.

It's just revenge.

It's people who were pissed off, and I'll show you who's boss.

Well, I'll show you a national broadcast while we eat cheese poppers.

I'm just saying.

We'll see if we can get that worked out.

We'll have more on that maybe tomorrow.

All right.

We will see you on television on Blaze TV tonight.

We have a very, very special podcast tonight, Blaze TV.
