Speaker 3 President Biden is in full support of suspending COVID-19 patents, intellectual property privately owned by pharmaceuticals. Whose property's Glenn exposes this alarming suspension of rights.

Speaker 3 Watch the Great American Reset of Property tomorrow night, 9 p.m. Eastern at Blazetv.com slash Glenn.

Speaker 2 I gotta tell you, I am so sick and tired of hearing the bashing of Israel.

Speaker 2 If we had somebody lobbing rockets into any of our cities, any of our suburbs, Well, I can't say this anymore. I would say we would stop it, but maybe we wouldn't.
We probably wouldn't now.

Speaker 2 If Antifa were doing that, we'd probably be like, that's a beautiful celebration of their freedom. And look at the view and rockets with red glare.
It makes me want to sing.

Speaker 2 Well, definitely not sing the national anthem because

Speaker 2 that, of course, is racist. I don't know what we would do anymore.
But I think people would be outraged if somebody was lobbying rockets and bombs and killing their children

Speaker 2 anywhere in America, we would respond. But Israel? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Speaker 2 the Jews, you know.

Speaker 2 There was a great article written by Alan Dershowitz in the Hill.

Speaker 2 Why does the hard left glorify the Palestinians? Why do they hate the Jews so much?

Speaker 2 In a world in which massive violations of human rights have tragically become the norm, why is the hard left focused on one of the least compelling of these causes, namely the Palestinians?

Speaker 2 Where is the concern for the Kurds? For the Chechens, for the Uyghurs, for the Tibetans?

Speaker 2 There are no campus demonstrations on their behalf, no expression of concern by the squad in Congress, no United Nations resolutions, no recurring op-eds in the New York Times, no claims that the nations that oppress these groups have no right to exist.

Speaker 2 On the merits and demerits of their claims, the Palestinians have the weakest case.

Speaker 2 They've been offered statehood and independence on numerous occasions in 1938, in 1948, in 1967, in 2000, 2001, and 2008.

Speaker 2 Israel ended its occupation of the Gaza Strip in 2005, yet even now, Palestinian leaders refuse to sit down and negotiate a reasonable two-state solution.

Speaker 2 As the late Israeli diplomat Eben once aptly put it,

Speaker 2 the Palestinian leadership never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Speaker 2 Nor are history and morality on the Palestinian side. The Palestinian leadership aligned itself with Nazism

Speaker 2 and Hitler in the 1940s, with Egyptian tyranny and anti-Semitism in the 1950s, and with international terrorism from the 1960s forward.

Speaker 2 In 1947, the United Nations divided the land that the Romans called Palestine, the Jews called Israel, into two areas.

Speaker 2 They divided that through the United Nations and provided a sliver of land along the Mediterranean and a non-arable desert called Negev to the Jews, who were a majority in that area, and a much larger area to the Arabs.

Speaker 2 The Jews declared statehood on their land.

Speaker 2 Instead of declaring statehood on the Palestinian side, the Palestinians and surrounding Arab nations declared war on the newly United Nations established Israel.

Speaker 2 The Arabs lost, and the Jews captured more land. As a result of war, there occurred an exchange of populations.

Speaker 2 Hundreds of thousands of Arabs left or were forced out of Israel, and hundreds of thousands of Jews left or were forced out of Arab countries and Arab Palestine.

Speaker 2 Again, in 1967, the surrounding Arab nations threatened to destroy Israel, which preemptively attacked and occupied the West Bank in Gaza, which it immediately offered to return.

Speaker 2 with some territorial adjustments necessary for security. In exchange for peace and recognition, they would return that land.

Speaker 2 The UN Secretary Council issued Resolution 242, which called for a return of captured territories in exchange for peace. Israel accepted.

Speaker 2 The Arab nations and Palestinians, however, issued three infamous no's. No peace, no recognition, and no negotiation.

Speaker 2 Just want to point out here, the Kurds have never been offered independence or statehood, despite treaties that promised it. Nor have the Tibetans or the Uyghurs or the Chechens.

Speaker 2 But the Palestinians have on multiple occasions since 1938 when their leader told the Peel Commission that the Palestinians don't want a state. They just don't want a Jewish state.

Speaker 2 Palestinian people have suffered more from the ill-advised decisions of their leaders than from the actions of Israel.

Speaker 2 Back to the present, Hamas commits a double war crime every time it fires a lethal rocket at Israeli citizens from a population or an area populated by its civilians, who they use as human shields.

Speaker 2 Israel responds proportionately in self-defense, as President Biden has emphasized.

Speaker 2 The Israel Defense Forces go to extraordinary lengths to try to minimize civilian casualties among the Palestinians, despite Hamas's policies of using civilian buildings, hospitals, schools, mosques, and high-rise buildings to store, fire, and plan their unlawful rockets and other devices.

Speaker 2 Yet the hard left blames Israel alone, and many on the center left create a moral equivalence between Democratic Israel and terrorist Hamas.

Speaker 2 Why?

Speaker 2 Why does this happen? asks Alan Dershowitz. The answer is clear and can be summarized in one word

Speaker 2 Jews

Speaker 2 The enemy of the Kurds the Tibetans the Uyghurs and the Chechens are not unfortunately for them the Jews Hence there's little concern for their plight if the perceived enemy of the Palestinians were not the Jews there'd be little concern for their plight as well This was proved by the relative silence that greeted the massacre of Palestinians by Jordan during Black September in 1970 or the killings of the Palestinian Authority leaders in Gaza during the Hamas takeover in 2007.

Speaker 2 There's been relative silence too about more than 4,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, killed by Syria during that country's current civil war.

Speaker 2 It's only when the Jews or their nation are perceived to be oppressing Palestinians that the left seems to care about them.

Speaker 2 While the United States provides financial support for Israel, we also provide massive support for Jordan and Egypt.

Speaker 2 Even if the United States were to end support for Israel, the demonization of Israel by the hard left would not end.

Speaker 2 The left singles out Palestinians not because of the merits of their case, but because of the alleged demerits of Israel and the double standard universally applied to Jews. That is the reality.

Speaker 2 John Brennan, former CIA director, as much admitted this double standard when he complained in a tweet about alleged lack of empathy by Jews.

Speaker 2 I always found it difficult to fathom how a nation of people deeply scarred by a history replete with prejudice, religious persecution, and unspeakable violence perpetrated against them would not be the empathetic champions of those whose rights and freedoms are still abridged, end quote.

Speaker 2 As Seth Franzman, a writer for the Jerusalem Post, aptly put it, quote, in his telling, he implied that Jews must have special empathy for others while non-Jews have no special need to be empathetic.

Speaker 2 Brennan has not held other countries to a higher standard based on the ethnic or religious origins of their citizens.

Speaker 2 In short, because Jews engendered genocide, they have to live according to a higher standard than those who perpetrated the genocide.

Speaker 2 This benevolent double standard may sound kinder than the double standard imposed by the members of the squad and others, but it has the same effect.

Speaker 2 It demands that Israel do less to protect its citizens from rockets and terrorism than is demanded from other countries.

Speaker 2 The same standard must be demanded of Israel as is demanded of other countries defending their citizens.

Speaker 2 In particular, the same standard must be demanded of Palestinians and their leaders as is demanded of other groups seeking the moral support of good people.

Speaker 2 I support the legitimate rights of Palestinians to a peaceful state, not so much because of their history and actions merit it more than others, but because it would be good for peace in the region and for Israel.

Speaker 2 But I refuse to prioritize it over other more equally or compelling cases just because Jews are on the other side. Alan Dershowitz, I think that is absolutely 100% true.

Speaker 2 Why do they have such a problem with Israel? Well, we wouldn't have a problem with Israel if Israel just didn't exist. We wouldn't have a problem with all these Jews if Jews just...

Speaker 2 There's just so many Jews. You know what I'm saying, Stu?

Speaker 2 That's the attitude. That's the attitude of the left.

Speaker 2 And it's something they embrace wholeheartedly, and they don't seem to care about the facts on the ground.

Speaker 2 I mean, you can go back, and I agree with Dershowitz and his analysis here, but you can go back and find things that I'm sure the Palestinians feel slighted.

Speaker 2 A lot of people feel like they got the raw deal in some of these arrangements going back 30, 40, 50, 100 years.

Speaker 2 But, like,

Speaker 2 again, I don't agree with that analysis. Okay, all right.
But my point is, like,

Speaker 2 who like that's the past it's like trying to say well you know mexico actually owns california okay well here we are in in 2021 we were existing in a circumstance where one country uh it was not firing one group was not firing at the other group uh when we're talking about missiles raining down on their population then out of nowhere hamas started firing hundreds and thousands of missiles at their neighbors so guess what Like they have a right to respond to that whether you think the Jews got

Speaker 2 the long end of the stick long ago or not. We had a situation that was relatively stable and Hamas for the five millionth time, an international terrorist group, started firing missiles

Speaker 2 at Israel, in their population centers, at their civilians. And just because they have good defenses and knock down the majority of them does not mean a thing.

Speaker 2 You know, if you go and try to rob a bank and you pull out a gun and you point it at the teller and it doesn't wind up working out for you and you go to prison,

Speaker 2 they don't say, well, you know, he didn't get away with the money, so therefore, let's just let him go. That's not how this works.

Speaker 2 I just have to, I have some umbrage I need to take off you. First of all, yes, yes, not umbrage.
Stu started this little rant with

Speaker 2 it would be like if people claim that Mexico still owns California.

Speaker 2 Mexico never owned California.

Speaker 2 Spain occupied Mexico, so Spain actually owned California. But see, the stew lies just continue.

Speaker 2 By the way, we have Alan Dershowitz on with us in about an hour from now. Stand by.

Speaker 2 This

Speaker 2 is the Glenn Beck program. So, Stu,

Speaker 2 on Friday, the president, president, President Biden,

Speaker 2 repealed the

Speaker 2 Trump executive order to start the Garden of American Heroes.

Speaker 2 Now,

Speaker 2 I don't think I've ever seen anything like this.

Speaker 2 The president says we want a Garden of American Heroes, and we're going to use all of those, you know, toppled

Speaker 2 statues, and we're going to put them in Washington, D.C.

Speaker 2 And if you look at the hero list, it's pretty clear it's not, it has nothing to do with

Speaker 2 whites. It has nothing to do with left or right.

Speaker 2 I mean, it's pretty much everywhere. Pretty much everybody is in this thing.
If your statue has been torn down, there's a list that you can find. It's like,

Speaker 2 let me see, it's 200, 244 different statues. Now, not only did he tear it down and say, nope, we're not going to build that, he also lessened the punishment for tearing down federal statues.

Speaker 2 And for the life of me,

Speaker 2 I can't figure out why.

Speaker 2 I can't figure out why he would

Speaker 2 end the Trump order that

Speaker 2 was

Speaker 2 protecting our statues and saying, look, if you pull a statue down or deface a federal statue, don't worry about it.

Speaker 2 Who enacted it?

Speaker 2 Donald Trump.

Speaker 4 Do you really think that it's

Speaker 2 really just.

Speaker 2 Really?

Speaker 2 It's a big part of it, clearly. I mean, I think anytime, you know, look,

Speaker 2 they don't want to admit that their side is the one who is

Speaker 2 destroying our cities. They don't want to act as if that's a real thing.
They constantly say Antifa was not real and it's just an idea.

Speaker 2 And they've done a lot down this road to try to make that into reality when it's not reality.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 I think this is sort of an extension of that idea, which they've been doing. They've been attesting in the media for a while.

Speaker 2 There's no pretending anymore that these guys, and Joe Biden is a massive radical. Do you hear about Section 230?

Speaker 2 Donald Trump, before he left office, another executive order needs to be a commission to study the effects of Section 230. So, you know, is there a way to stop these

Speaker 2 big tech companies from regulating speech? He just asked for a study on it. Nope.
Joe Biden just canceled that.

Speaker 2 Just revoke that order.

Speaker 2 You know,

Speaker 2 again, I don't think there is a way

Speaker 2 to escape the fact

Speaker 2 that we have the radicals now running our country.

Speaker 2 It makes Barack Obama look like a pussycat in comparison. Joe Biden has gone full-fledged, woke, and full-fledged left.

Speaker 2 He is a radical president that doesn't seem to have the same view of America that you do.

Speaker 2 This is the Glenback program. Wow, if you wanted an amazing summer filled with action and adventure and hot beaches and cool fun, may I recommend you don't buy into a time.

Speaker 2 You're going to have way more fun when you're not stressed out about all the money you're going to have to come up with.

Speaker 2 Tomorrow, the Wednesday night special on Blaze TV is all about America's latest endangered liberty, American property rights.

Speaker 2 America's founders were the original crackpot inventors, and they came up with the ultimate intellectual property, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.

Speaker 2 Those documents are the founders' patent, the greatest set of freedom blueprints in American history, because it says to people, there's a chance, there's a chance you can dream and work and create and build a meaningful life, build something that only you can see and build.

Speaker 2 There's at least a chance you can do it as a free people if, and it's a big if, you don't stray too far from the blueprints.

Speaker 2 The United States of America was their genius invention, but we now have a president and a majority in Congress who are very interested in the original patent and the blueprints being set on fire.

Speaker 2 In the classic progressive tradition, They know a better way forward, and we'll just have to wait to see what that better way is once we pass it. President Biden's latest mind-blowing attempt to

Speaker 2 fundamentally transform America is his effort to take control of intellectual property rights of U.S. companies making COVID-19 vaccines and release them to the world.

Speaker 2 There's practical reasons why this is a terrible idea, but it is not the only violation of property rights. Join me tomorrow night.
We'll own nothing and be happy.

Speaker 2 The great reset of American property. That's Wednesday night, 9 p.m., only on Blazetv.com or Blazetv YouTube.

Speaker 4 Sort of fortuitous that that is your theme on the show tomorrow night. When

Speaker 4 that's one of my geodes right now, is

Speaker 4 property and the theft by the American government of American citizens' property.

Speaker 4 The civil asset forfeiture thing is

Speaker 4 outrageous right now.

Speaker 4 Did you guys just hear about this FBI raid on the contents of a vault with safety deposit boxes in it?

Speaker 4 They simply went to a vault that stores safety deposit boxes. And this one woman is trying to get some of her money back.

Speaker 4 She had $100,000 in gold and silver coins, a bunch of family heirlooms, a diamond necklace that she inherited from her late grandmother, and an engagement ring she was going to pass down to her daughter.

Speaker 4 And they just put it in this safety deposit vault where they heard that it's uh they're really good at keeping your valuables safe.

Speaker 4 Well, the FBI raided it because they figured that some of it, some of the safety deposit boxes contained drugs, which they did, but rather than just focusing on those, they took everything in the vault.

Speaker 4 Everybody's was just confiscated.

Speaker 2 Just gone.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it's just gone now. Over $100,000 worth of stuff seized by the FBI.

Speaker 4 And now it's up to them to try to get their valuables back. And so far, they've been unsuccessful at doing it.

Speaker 2 They just incredible stuff.

Speaker 4 I've heard so many of these stories over the last few years where people are found on the highway. They happen to have large amounts of cash with them.
And it's just confiscated

Speaker 4 by the law enforcement agent who pulled them over. Yeah, we're just going to take this because it's suspicious that

Speaker 2 you have it.

Speaker 4 Well, it is not against the law to carry more than $10,000 on your person. You can do that.

Speaker 2 It's not against the law to be suspicious either. Right?

Speaker 2 There's no law against being suspicious.

Speaker 4 And most of the time, in these civil asset forfeiture cases, they're never even charged with a crime. So it's not even alleged they've done anything wrong.

Speaker 2 It's just that, yeah,

Speaker 2 we took your stuff.

Speaker 2 This has got to stop. It has to stop.
This has got to stop. It has to stop.

Speaker 2 Wait until tomorrow we're getting a little into what's going to happen with property rights. Once people understand what forbearance means,

Speaker 2 people are going to be losing their houses. They're going to be losing their right to live in the apartment that they haven't paid rent on.

Speaker 2 And they're going to lose their credit. And they still owe, you know, what could be for a house.
What? How much do you pay for your house every single month?

Speaker 2 If you haven't been paying for the last year, year and a half, you have to make all of that money back before you can even sell your home. And you still end up with really bad credit.

Speaker 2 What happens when the government just starts taking houses?

Speaker 4 Yeah, just confiscating things.

Speaker 2 Yep.

Speaker 4 Wait a minute. That's it's it's so unconstitutional.
It's it's silly to even mention it because I mean, mean it's clear, right? It's so obvious.

Speaker 2 I've talked about this for a long time

Speaker 2 that

Speaker 2 after 2008, they changed all the banking rules. And

Speaker 2 one of the rules that was changed was the safety deposit boxes.

Speaker 2 If you go in and open a safety deposit box, whenever the bank or the government decide, a federal agent, FBI, or Department of Homeland Security officer has to be there with you while you open the box.

Speaker 2 And if they deem anything suspicious, they can just take it.

Speaker 2 That's now part of your... Ask your bank.

Speaker 2 Hey, does the Department of Homeland Security have the right to come in and witness me? opening my safety deposit box if they want

Speaker 2 yes

Speaker 2 yes they do That's incredible.

Speaker 2 What's the way to do it?

Speaker 2 Ask them for the paperwork on it, on the rules. Ask them.
Because they'll probably say, no, it is law now. How am I supposed to protect my collection of rare jewels? Like, how do you do that?

Speaker 2 In all seriousness, like that is stuff that you want to do. Seriously, that is the question that everybody's been asking.

Speaker 2 Where do I put my rare jewels?

Speaker 2 But I mean, really, like, what do people do if, you know, not being in this position, I wouldn't know, but have have things that other people want? Like, what is the if you have that?

Speaker 2 Like, it used to be the safe thing to do was stick them in a safety deposit box. Right.
It's not now. What do you do?

Speaker 2 I would suggest that there are

Speaker 2 privately held safety deposit box places.

Speaker 2 I know

Speaker 2 of a couple that they're run by private industry. They are not banks.
They're just safety deposit boxes. And they are in, like, you know, a fortress

Speaker 2 and monitored all of the time. And you can guarantee that nobody's going into there, at least without a warrant.

Speaker 2 There's no laws that talk about being able to go into there. This is the thing that we got when the government bailed banks out.
They said that you are the lender of last resort.

Speaker 2 So if you have money and a bank collapses, if you have money in there, the bank is going to take all of your money and use it to pay off its loans or its, you know, margin bets or whatever.

Speaker 2 That money does not belong to you anymore, and they're counting on FDIC to make everybody whole. So your tax dollars will go to replace your money.

Speaker 2 And this is what happens when the government starts to get in bed and starts to

Speaker 2 give the banks money to bail them out. There comes with consequences.
Unfortunately, the consequences are for us, not the banks. Right, right.

Speaker 4 Somewhat of a related story. There was some good news from the Supreme Court yesterday on their new ruling,

Speaker 4 the community caretaking thing, the responsibilities that police have, like searching an abandoned vehicle for dangerous weapons that doesn't apply to a home and that was a 9-0 ruling so even breyer and soda mayor and all the liberal judges were on board with this but this involved uh a guy in rhode island who was really depressed and he uh and his wife were i don't know, fighting at the dinner table.

Speaker 4 And he went and got a gun and put it on the table and said,

Speaker 4 shoot me.

Speaker 4 And instead of doing that, she left the house and went to a hotel and then called police. And she and police came back to the house and kind of talked him down.

Speaker 4 He was out on the porch when they arrived and they convinced him to go to a mental health hospital, which he did. He said, I will only do that, though, if you'll leave my guns alone.
And they agreed.

Speaker 2 So he left.

Speaker 4 And as soon as he left, police went into his house, searched it, and confiscated all of his guns.

Speaker 2 And told her and told her that he had said he wanted his guns taken. Yeah.

Speaker 2 They lied to her.

Speaker 4 They lied. Right.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 So he took him to court and actually won, which to me, in this environment, is pretty amazing and pretty good news that the Supreme Court at least had this kind of sense.

Speaker 2 What do you think about

Speaker 2 them taking on this abortion bill?

Speaker 2 15 weeks

Speaker 2 has to be the maximum. Where is it? In Mississippi.
Mississippi. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And Mississippi says, you know, after 15 weeks, you can't abort the baby. Why are they picking this up? Do you think this is good news or bad news, Pat?

Speaker 2 I'm a little nervous about it because I just don't have any confidence in the Supreme Court right now.

Speaker 4 They've made too many screwy rulings

Speaker 4 to really give me any confidence that they're going to rule the right way here.

Speaker 2 I feel like how I always feel walking into a new Star Wars movie. Like a lot of excitement, but you know it's going to suck at the end.
Right. Yeah.
Like that's kind of like that.

Speaker 2 Really excited.

Speaker 2 You've got great hope. Great hope.
It just never pans out. It never pans out.
It never works out.

Speaker 2 I mean, you have to take this shot. If you hear any of the Supreme Court justices going, please,

Speaker 2 you know we're in deep trouble. Chief Justice Jarjar.

Speaker 2 Please, Annie.

Speaker 2 All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half-hour.
It's Hustler Turf. Hustler Turf, one of the largest manufacturers of zero-turn lawnmowers in the world.

Speaker 2 They now offer a military discount to veterans and active duty troops. This is a third-generation American company that believes in the country, believes in supporting our troops.

Speaker 2 We are headed towards Memorial Day, and they want to make sure that they do something for the troops. So they're giving money to the Folds of Honor for every lawnmower sold right now.

Speaker 2 Okay,

Speaker 2 why should you look at a Hustler Turf? Because their 109-inch deck, you know, their blades,

Speaker 2 can cut a football field in 10 minutes.

Speaker 2 They have a deck that fits your yard. If you are, they have a brand new one where if you are,

Speaker 2 you know, own three acres or less

Speaker 2 you can cut the time of you mowing your lawn in half it's a brand new model I want you to check it out at hustlerturf.com you can find them on the website and also find a store near you go test drive any of the other zero turn lawnmowers then go test drive a hustler turf there is no comparison these are the best and they'll be the last lawnmower you ever buy it's hustlerturf.com that's hustlerturf.com.

Speaker 2 Welcome to the Glenbeck program. Don't forget, tomorrow night we're going to be taking on the end of property rights in America under Joe Biden.
That's tomorrow night, 9 p.m.

Speaker 2 only on Blaze TV, the Glenbeck Wednesday night special. We've seen so many crazy stories.

Speaker 2 I mean, you know, there's a story of a guy in Chicago who fixed people's cars and gave someone, one of his customers, a ride in his car back to his place of business.

Speaker 2 In the process, the person who he was giving a ride had drugs on him.

Speaker 2 They took the mechanic's car with all of his tools in the back and held it hostage for a giant fine

Speaker 2 for months into years. And the guy couldn't do his job.

Speaker 2 And there's so many stories like this under the banner of civil asset forfeiture that some of these states have now, I mean, you know, when the American people hear about stuff like this, they're like, okay, this has got to stop.

Speaker 2 This blatantly, when you're not even accused of a crime and you're losing your stuff, this has got to stop. So some states have actually passed pretty strong laws banning civil asset forfeiture.

Speaker 2 Well, the states, wanting the revenue, wanting this ability to be able to take people's property,

Speaker 2 have now navigated a way around the bans. And it's this thing called equitable sharing.

Speaker 2 What a great term for today's America. Gosh, equitable sharing.
Echo sharing.

Speaker 2 So basically what they do is they go through the process completely as they used to and get all the way up to the point where they're going to take the property.

Speaker 2 And at the last second, they bring in the feds.

Speaker 2 And if they bring in the feds, then it's not a state civil asset forfeiture. It's a federal

Speaker 2 civil asset forfeiture. And through the equitable sharing agreement, the states get to keep 80% of the money anyway.

Speaker 2 So basically, they've just found a way to completely go around the law to continue to do this to people. So the equitable sharing is not taking from the rich and giving to the poor like Robin Hood.

Speaker 2 It's taking from anyone and giving to the government, like the true Robin Hood story. Yes.
That's it.

Speaker 2 That's exactly what it is.

Speaker 2 And this is.

Speaker 2 This is the sheriff of Nottingham. This is exactly what the Sheriff of Nottingham was doing.

Speaker 2 And they're just

Speaker 2 evading the laws that the government has passed because they want this stuff. They want the power to do it.
They want the result, the money

Speaker 2 at the end of the day. And

Speaker 2 it's shameful. I mean, it's incredible.
And I will say, you know, Texas is known to be one of the worst states for this. It's not just blue states.
It's blue states and red states.

Speaker 2 They all want their hands in your stuff, especially like we've seen

Speaker 2 stories where people will

Speaker 2 be be going to the, you know, the bank to deposit, you know, a night's revenue at a restaurant and get pulled over and they just take it because you shouldn't have this much cash on you.

Speaker 2 Well, I, you know, I work, I run a restaurant.

Speaker 2 Yeah, the guy that ran that store in, I think, Virginia, and it was just like a local, you know, like a local market, you know, and the feds came in, took the cash out of his till

Speaker 2 and said, we think some of this money is ill-gotten goods. And he's like, No, I've got receipts for all of it right here.
Took it, never got it back.

Speaker 2 Lost his place. And these are people that not only are not convicted of crimes, but not even charged with crimes.
Charged. Like, they're not even saying they did anything wrong.

Speaker 2 They're just taking it anyway. It's a remarkable thing that should not be happening in the United States of America.

Speaker 2 All right. Alan Dershowitz and Stephen Moore.
In the next hour, stand by.

Speaker 2 This is the Glenn Beck program. Think about all the quarantine purchases you have made, the late-night pizza deliveries, the mini succulent trios, the online trainer you ghosted after two weeks.

Speaker 2 Then there's the biggest purchase of all, insurance. Americans overspend on car and home insurance by billions every year.

Speaker 2 That money is money you could have, you know, had on more, you know, physical exercise with that ghost trainer. Zebra can help you save all of that money.

Speaker 2 The Zebra, it is the nation's leading insurance comparison site for car and home insurance. In minutes, you can compare policies from every major provider for free, all in one independent marketplace.

Speaker 2 So, just to answer a few questions, the zebra pairs people with the right insurance company for them, helping everyone save time and money.

Speaker 2 That's thezebra.com/slash beck.

Speaker 2 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 2 This

Speaker 2 is

Speaker 2 the Glenback Program

Speaker 2 Two friends, two experts. Stephen Moore on the economy and inflation and universal basic income that I think is coming to a household and mailbox near you.

Speaker 2 Probably not your mailbox, but someone near you.

Speaker 2 Also, Alan Dershowitz, his article yesterday that was trending globally on why the left hates Israel. All this hour.
We begin in a minute.

Speaker 2 The Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 Jason wrote in and he said, you know, I heard about American financing on your program, Glenn. I figured I'd give it a shot.
We were looking to refinance our home and consolidate some revolving debt.

Speaker 2 Well, from the initial conversation, it was the best mortgage process I've ever had, and I've had a few.

Speaker 2 Jamie, who is from American Financing, guided me throughout the process and made sure I had had all of the right documents and information.

Speaker 2 He kept me up to date on where we were in the process and when I needed to get a test done, they suggested some local businesses that could do the test. In the end, it was a great experience.

Speaker 2 And as a result, our financial situation is better. Thank you, American Financing.
That is the kind of experience that you will most likely have. If you can

Speaker 2 call American Financing and spend 10 minutes with them on the phone, you just tell them your mortgage, your interest rate that you're paying, tell them about your credit cards, what you want to do, and if there's a way, they will find a way and they will find the best path forward.

Speaker 2 It's American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.

Speaker 6 American Financing, NMLS, 1-8-2-3-3-4, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

Speaker 2 So the Bank of America came out a couple of weeks ago with their report, and they said

Speaker 2 at the very least,

Speaker 2 America is headed for

Speaker 2 transitory hyperinflation.

Speaker 2 Now,

Speaker 2 I ain't a banker, but I am a thanker. And I've always heard that word hyperinflation was a bad thing.

Speaker 2 We have Stephen Moore on to talk about this and so many other things in the economy. Hello, Stephen.
How are you, sir?

Speaker 5 Hey, Glenn, good. And by the way, you don't have to listen to Bank of America.
I mean, I said on your show a couple of months ago that, you know, as we kept up this

Speaker 5 insane spending, insane borrowing, insane,

Speaker 5 helicopter money, dumping $100 bills out of helicopters, which is essentially what Biden announced yesterday. That

Speaker 5 inflation is very simple, Glenn. I mean, this stuff is not complicated.
Inflation is too many dollars chasing too few goods.

Speaker 5 And we've got so much money being printed right now, so much money being spent and borrowed in the trillions of dollars.

Speaker 5 How is anybody even surprised that we have inflation?

Speaker 2 So tell me, do you believe that this is temporary because we just don't have the products on the shelves

Speaker 2 because people aren't, you know, getting their or taking their job back?

Speaker 2 Do you buy into that?

Speaker 5 Some of it is temporary, but some of it is long-term. I mean, look, we do have a big, there's so many problems that are compounding each other right now.
You just mentioned one.

Speaker 5 I mean, again, last time you and I talked, I said this was going to happen. If you're paying people, you've got couples now, including food stamps, unemployment benefits, free rental assistance,

Speaker 5 free health care, that are getting government benefits of over $100,000 a year for not working. I mean, that's nuts.

Speaker 5 You and I believe in a safety net, but come on, we're paying more people to stay unemployed than to work. It's just craziness.
So

Speaker 5 you're asking me a question of whether Washington is going to get its act together.

Speaker 2 And I don't know the answer to that.

Speaker 5 I mean, right now, as we speak, Biden's still proposing $4 trillion more spending. I mean, it's just,

Speaker 5 I mean, I'm angry. You can tell me anger

Speaker 5 Because, you know, all we need to do is get the government out of the way.

Speaker 5 Get out of the way. We got a vaccine.
We got businesses reopened. Just stop.
But they can't.

Speaker 2 So tell me about the monthly child tax credit. This is

Speaker 2 a new way to give people money. Government checks every month, $3,000 per child.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 they are dumping this money beginning in

Speaker 2 July, July 15th. What does this mean?

Speaker 5 So let's do the math here. $3,000

Speaker 5 per child. Let's say you have three kids.
That's $9,000 of free money.

Speaker 5 Plus, you get, if you've got a couple both on unemployment insurance, they're getting somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,500 a month in benefits.

Speaker 5 So that right there is, you know, about $60,000 a year. Then they get $10,000 of food stamps.
Then they get $10,000 of free health care and

Speaker 5 rental assistance. You're talking about, people don't believe it when I say you can get $100,000 of benefits, but you can't.

Speaker 5 Look, I'm for children. You're for children.

Speaker 5 But the best way to help children is to have a mother and a father in the home and have a job. It's not complicated.
Rather than give people money, get people working.

Speaker 5 We've had, Glenn, now it's been 14 or 15 months that people haven't been working. We have 8.1 million job openings today.
There are 750,000 job openings today in manufacturing and construction.

Speaker 2 Those aren't good jobs.

Speaker 5 A lot of them are union jobs. People are not going back to work, folks.
It's very simple because the government is not paying them to do it. And Joe Biden was asked about this question.

Speaker 5 He's like, blah, blah, blah. I mean, he doesn't make any sense because he's never run a business.
And by the way, this is killing our small businesses, Claude.

Speaker 2 Our restaurants, our stores, our construction companies.

Speaker 5 I mean, ask somebody who runs a construction crew. Can you get workers? No, no.

Speaker 5 You know,

Speaker 5 they are not available right now.

Speaker 2 And that's why we have supply ply shots.

Speaker 2 I have had, you know, I'm doing construction on my house and almost every day, almost every day, somebody said, I'm sorry, I don't have, you know, the workers here. I just couldn't get them.

Speaker 2 The plumber was saying, I've been wanting to mentor

Speaker 2 somebody forever. And he said, I can't get anyone.
who is willing to do the work.

Speaker 2 And probably

Speaker 2 that's a good job.

Speaker 2 Yeah, plumbers make a good living.

Speaker 5 Yeah, it's right.

Speaker 5 I try to get an electrician.

Speaker 2 You know, so I mean, I have the same thing.

Speaker 5 We have construction in our house. There's a little noise in the background.
That's the construction.

Speaker 5 And I got to tell you, you know, the people, we've had about seven or eight people coming in our house. They're doing a great job.
I think, you know, seven out of eight of them are immigrants.

Speaker 5 They're from Russia or they're from Ukraine or they're from Mexico.

Speaker 5 I mean, the immigrants, how would we even keep this economy going without immigrant workers?

Speaker 2 So I don't know.

Speaker 5 I'm very frustrated because

Speaker 5 we should just get back to normal. I think if we would just stop all the spending and borrowing,

Speaker 5 I believe we could have an economy that would just be flying high right now, really high. I mean, with these businesses reopening and the jobs are open, we've got a solid economy, a solid foundation.

Speaker 5 Anybody who wants the vaccine can have it, and yet we're screwing it up. And by the way, don't forget

Speaker 5 what was the first act of Joe Biden when he became president? Do you remember?

Speaker 2 The border, I think, wasn't it?

Speaker 5 well that was the second one the first was the pipeline the keystone pipeline he didn't oh yeah that's right that's right yeah now

Speaker 5 i mean how insane is that

Speaker 5 i mean really we have the colonial pipeline that's been shut down by by cyber uh you know uh criminals and and now we've got i'm in washing dc i can't get a drop of gasoline within 10 miles of where i live

Speaker 2 stephen when the the government i i think they're headed towards ubi i mean they're just making making payments now to people, and people aren't going back to work.

Speaker 2 And this is what, you know, Nancy Pelosi said was coming, you know, for poets and dreamers everywhere.

Speaker 2 You know, you should be able to make enough money, the government should be able just to pay you, that you could do what you, you know, follow your dreams.

Speaker 2 That's where we're headed, isn't it?

Speaker 5 Well, I'm for people following their dreams, but I'm also realistic, and people need to be realistic. You know, I wanted to be a a pro quarterback.
Did you know that, Glenn?

Speaker 2 I did not.

Speaker 2 Don't think that would happen.

Speaker 2 Thanks a lot, Glenn.

Speaker 2 But wait,

Speaker 2 they are currently paying, you pay people on a monthly basis, and you're sending them a check. That check better not stop because people start to count on that check.
And I mean,

Speaker 2 you're just training people to get UBI.

Speaker 5 Well, what's really bad, what really worries me is that's why I mentioned 15 months of people getting unemployment. That means that for 15 months, people have not been in the workforce.

Speaker 5 That causes an atrophy of your work skills. It's the worst thing you can do is tell people.
And by the way, there is dignity. There's purpose in your life if you get up and work.

Speaker 5 There's no dignity in watching Netflix all day or sitting on the couch. And the worst thing you can do for people is tell them

Speaker 5 to sit around and do nothing.

Speaker 5 You need purpose in your life. Everyone does.
And, you know, we all know that.

Speaker 5 And the government is now, but a lot of families, and I'm not blaming them, I'm blaming the government, are just making a financial decision.

Speaker 5 Hey, I can make $48,000 if I go back on the job, but Uncle Sam's going to give me $55,000 if I don't.

Speaker 2 Do you read Shadow Stats by any chance? Are you familiar with it at least?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 5 I know of it, but I'm not.

Speaker 5 What are you referring to?

Speaker 2 I'm referring to the way we calculate inflation has been changed a couple of times since the 1980s. And if you use the old standard, we're up to about 11% inflation.

Speaker 2 With the new standard, we're at 4.2%.

Speaker 2 Is there a case to be made to at least glance at the old way that we used to be figuring inflation? Because inflation got to be, what, 14%?

Speaker 5 Look, my feeling is people, you don't have to tell people people what the inflation rate is. They know it.

Speaker 2 You know, they know it.

Speaker 5 They go to the grocery store.

Speaker 5 They go to the gas pump. I mean, people feel it.
So, you know, these bogus government statistics,

Speaker 5 you know, give us kind of a direction of things, but you can't BS people. They know what's happening.

Speaker 5 I mean, my gosh, you know, when Biden, the day Biden was elected, the gas price was $2.10 a gallon. Today, the gas price is $3.05 a gallon.

Speaker 5 You know, by the way, you keep saying I'm only going to raise taxes on people who make over $400,000. When you've got a 95 cent per gallon increase in the gas price, that's a tax.

Speaker 5 That's a tax on people, right?

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 How bad do you think this gets, Stephen? And

Speaker 2 what should people prepare for?

Speaker 5 I think the stock, I'm not a great financial analyst, but I would say this. I'd be very careful about the stock market right now, real careful.

Speaker 5 I'm not saying pull out, but I wouldn't put a whole lot of money into the market right now. You know, the first rule of investing is buy low and sell high.

Speaker 5 And I think you've got a very overpriced stock market right now.

Speaker 5 And by the way, I'm not saying next week it's going to crash, but I do think, Glenn, I don't know what you're thinking, as I think there's going to be a correction. There just has to be.

Speaker 5 And especially pay attention to this massive tax increase bill. Pay attention to the $2.5 trillion infrastructure bill.
But by the way, I love this.

Speaker 5 He wants to spend $2.5 trillion in infrastructure, and the first thing he does when he becomes president is kill an infrastructure project, the Keystone Pipeline, that costs taxpayers nothing.

Speaker 2 Right? I mean,

Speaker 5 you got to watch Washington. You got to watch what these people are doing.

Speaker 5 If

Speaker 5 the senator from West Virginia

Speaker 5 goes south on us and sides with Pelosi and the rest, and they continue to spend like this,

Speaker 5 you know, stock up on food, stock up on gasoline. I mean,

Speaker 5 you cannot, a great nation cannot borrow $6.5 trillion in one year. I mean, it's insane.

Speaker 2 Well, you can't, to stop inflation, you would normally raise interest rates.

Speaker 2 There's no way that the Fed can raise the interest rates because the government couldn't afford to pay the rates themselves.

Speaker 5 Well, that's the problem, right?

Speaker 5 We've been borrowing, we've been living on borrowed time, we've been borrowing at these bargain-low interest rates, and that's been a blessing for the country.

Speaker 5 But now if the rates go up, you know, every one percentage point increase in interest rates costs us all a trillion dollars more in debt. I mean, so we're in a vicious cycle right now.

Speaker 5 So, maybe the first thing Washington should do-you know,

Speaker 5 I don't have an 180 IQ, but the first thing government should do is stop spending money we don't have.

Speaker 5 I mean, how crazy that Biden is running around the country now is let's spend another two and a half trillion dollars and borrow it.

Speaker 5 And by the way, what happens when China starts to stop buying our bonds?

Speaker 2 Well, I think they effectively have

Speaker 2 the Fed is the Fed's the only buyer of our bonds at this point.

Speaker 2 Are you worried?

Speaker 2 That is, Glenn.

Speaker 5 Glenn, that's what you just described, where we, you know, the Congress spends the money, the Treasury issues bonds, and then the money printing agency of the government buys the bonds.

Speaker 5 That's what third world countries do.

Speaker 2 I know. I know it is.
I know it is. That's why you don't have faith, full faith, and credit in the U.S.
dollar.

Speaker 2 When people really catch on to what's going on, it'll be over, I think, fast. Are you concerned about forbearance and that people don't really know what that meant?

Speaker 2 And when it catches up to people and they realize, oh, I've got to pay all of that money back and my credit is destroyed and I may get kicked out of my apartment,

Speaker 2 that's going to be a problem, isn't it?

Speaker 5 Well, people, we've developed this attitude among Americans because of government policies of everyone thinking that the government's going to bail them out.

Speaker 5 So, you know, if you can't pay your rent, the government's going to pay for it. If you can't pay for your food, the government's going to pay for it.

Speaker 5 You can take on large debts because the government's going to forgive your debts. You can take out, you know, $100,000 in student loans, the government's going to, you know,

Speaker 5 pay it for you. I mean, this is just a very insidious dependency culture.

Speaker 5 The last line of the piece that I had in the Wall Street Journal three or four weeks ago when I talked about we're building a dependency culture, you know, is that maybe this is the whole design.

Speaker 2 Maybe that's what Washington wants.

Speaker 2 Oh, I think it is. I think it is.

Speaker 2 And I don't have a, I don't have a hundred and well, I don't have a IQ of a hundred, I bet.

Speaker 2 And I can figure that out.

Speaker 5 Stephen.

Speaker 5 So you think it's deliberate. You think these guys are trying to make people.

Speaker 2 Oh, absolutely.

Speaker 2 Trying to make people deliver. Absolutely.

Speaker 2 Absolutely. Yes.
Yes.

Speaker 2 Stephen, thank you very much for your time. I appreciate it.
And keep up the

Speaker 2 keep up the good work. Stephen Moore.
All right. Our sponsor this half hour is RekTech.
All right, so you've done your time with all the other grills.

Speaker 2 You know, the little R2-D2 lookalike that rusted out the first time it got a little rainy. That was cute and everything.

Speaker 2 The propane grill that, you know, still carried the imprint on the surface of the first piece of meat you ever burned on it. Yeah, that was a, that was a good one, too.
Time to get a RekTech. RekTech.

Speaker 2 You've heard me talking about it.

Speaker 2 And I want you to go look and test drive one.

Speaker 2 I want you to go look at these things online and go to, you know, wherever you're buying your grill, you, you know, go to Home Depot or whatever and look at the best grills out there.

Speaker 2 Then A, B, compare them. There is no comparison.
It's smart grill technology combined with a sleek, sturdy, stolid, solid, stainless steel body. You can grill, smoke, even bake.

Speaker 2 All at the next level. It is such a great device for cooking.

10 seconds, station ID.

Speaker 2 Welcome to the Glenbeck program. Stu,

Speaker 2 I think

Speaker 2 by advertising, the Army advertising for woke soldiers

Speaker 2 and this move where the U.S. Army is taking on climate change as a serious threat to national security, I think we are going to be a powerful, powerful army.
You know?

Speaker 2 We sure are. I mean, it's reminiscent of when we

Speaker 2 used NASA to encourage Muslims to realize they're really good at math. That was a really good program we had going on for

Speaker 2 a great one. That was a great one.

Speaker 2 I'm glad we're back to those days.

Speaker 2 This is obviously worse, by the way, because if NASA sucks,

Speaker 2 we can live with that, honestly.

Speaker 2 If our military sucks, that's really, really bad. Yeah.
I mean, if you're an astronaut, you know, you can't live with NASA sucking.

Speaker 2 That's true. I'm saying as a nation,

Speaker 2 you know, if we don't get any of our space projects to work all that well, it's a hit and it's a negative. But we have a lot of people,

Speaker 2 even the private sector now doing a lot of the work that NASA used to do. You know, having the military

Speaker 2 jump into this would not be, would not be a good thing.

Speaker 2 All they are doing is, quote, addressing climate change threats.

Speaker 2 They say that climate change is a serious threat to U.S. national security interests and defense objectives.

Speaker 2 And so what they're doing in the latest report is to prepare for the challenges ahead, the Army will continue to identify and implement steps to enhance readiness and capability in the face of climate-related threats and will continue to be a strong steward of the resources offered in the shared operational environment.

Speaker 2 The Army has a lot to be proud of, yet there's a lot of work to continue to operate efficiently across extreme weather and climate conditions. Buy some snow tires, Jack.

Speaker 2 They intend to conduct an in-depth assessment of likely climate change effects on the Army's worldwide missions.

Speaker 2 They're going to lead the way in technology for development for tactical vehicles that balances increased capability with decreased climate impacts.

Speaker 2 They're going to be strategizing and planning to mitigate climate threats with an emphasis placed on soldier resilience, energy reform, and capability enhancements and procurement.

Speaker 2 So, a little bit of everything, but we want to talk to Mother Earth first. And, you know, I can't wait until we have the fully electric tank.
Think it's going to be good. Oh,

Speaker 2 I think so, too. This is definitely what I want our military worried about: the weather.
Right? Mainly weather-focused military is the way to go. Amen.

Speaker 2 Thank you for saying that, Stu. I was afraid you were going to fight me on it, but we have seen the light.
And I say

Speaker 2 in the backpack of every soldier should be a big extension cord. In case one of those tanks loses power, we can string them all together and plug it in.
Great.

Speaker 2 Mm-hmm. This is the Glenback program.

Speaker 2 All right. So I have a love-hate relationship with food.
On one hand, I love eating food. On the other hand, I hate communism,

Speaker 2 which deprives people of food.

Speaker 2 I don't know about you, but I struggle with the whole lose weight and be healthier thing, mostly because it requires me to lay off the food, which I just mentioned I love.

Speaker 2 The good news is, there are built bars out there for times when you're the weakest?

Speaker 2 It's not just a great snack that can replace all the other snacks that you know one might consume throughout the day, but in fact, it's healthy for you.

Speaker 2 It's because the people who make Bilt Bars understand that the flavor has to come first. It's key.
Built bars are made with 100% real chocolate, yet they're low calorie and low carb.

Speaker 2 They're also high in fiber and high in protein. In other words, they're good for you and delicious at the same time.
Amazing flavors. You got to check them out at builtbar.com.

Speaker 2 This is the Glenbeck program. We're going to have to reschedule Alan Dershowitz.

Speaker 2 Something has come up.

Speaker 2 We want to talk to you about what the world might look like if we don't do anything about climate change.

Speaker 2 Stu,

Speaker 2 I can't believe this article from CNBC is true.

Speaker 2 But they said what, by 2050, what the world would look like if we do nothing. Okay?

Speaker 2 I'm sure it's not at all scary for no reason.

Speaker 2 The air is polluted, making you cough. You have to check the air quality before going and opening even a window.
When you go outside, your eyes water.

Speaker 2 You have to wear a mask. On bad days, a high-tech mask, if you can afford it.
Depending on where you live, the temperature is as hot as 140 degrees Fahrenheit for more than a month every year.

Speaker 2 And in public restrooms, you have to pay to use water. There's a mental toll living in a world that feels like a dangerous obstacle course.

Speaker 2 People feel bottomless despair and resent previous generations for their lack of action. Worst case scenario is what life could really look like if

Speaker 2 no progress is made slowing the greenhouse gases to mitigate climate change. They say air pollution and emissions that cause climate change go hand in hand.

Speaker 2 So unless action is taken on climate change, it'll mean poorer air quality. Whether it gets as bad as people having to wear masks by 2050 is debatable, but it could be possible.

Speaker 2 People are wearing masks now.

Speaker 2 And the same people who won't take off the masks are the same people who are all for global warming. So they're all set.

Speaker 2 They're all set.

Speaker 2 Stu, can I ask, since when did we go from

Speaker 2 point, what is it, 0.1

Speaker 2 in climate change, in temperature rise over the next 100 years, how much was it? They said we could buy one hundred, we could be how much?

Speaker 2 It's a couple degrees.

Speaker 2 I can't remember the exact number off the top of my head, but yeah, we've warmed about one degree in the past century or so. Okay, okay.
And they say it could be another degree or two.

Speaker 2 So by 2050,

Speaker 2 it could be one degree if it's on the course of being two.

Speaker 2 How does that get the temperature to as hot as 140 degrees Fahrenheit for more than a month every year?

Speaker 2 I don't. You're asking questions that are not answerable.

Speaker 2 That is, you know, they...

Speaker 2 Wait, wait, wait. I just figured it out.
It says not just the temperature can be as hot as 140 degrees Fahrenheit for more than a month Ethereum. It says, depending where you live,

Speaker 2 temperatures can be as hot as 100.

Speaker 2 So in other words, if I live in Baghdad,

Speaker 2 where it is currently 139 for at least a month out of the year, it could be 140. Yeah, there's a lot of could be, might be possible.
Who knows what could happen, but

Speaker 2 there's so much of that in there. And this is all based, of course, on the worst case scenarios that are incredibly unlikely to come true.

Speaker 2 A lot of it is based on RCP 8.5, which is the most catastrophic estimate ever produced.

Speaker 2 And almost every global warming story you ever read is based on it because it gives you the craziest numbers possible.

Speaker 2 And it is not shown to track, to be accurate since it came out, but that doesn't stop people from saying, well, it could, it could, what could be possible is always a great basis for an article.

Speaker 2 But when these things don't happen, you know, no one goes back and says, well, we shouldn't have tried to scare people like that. This seems to be their only tactic to get people to buy into it.

Speaker 2 And you've seen what people will do in a crisis situation over the last year. Right.
If they really believe there's a crisis situation going on, which I would argue COVID was a crisis situation,

Speaker 2 not that people handled it right, but people will fold a lot of their liberties to,

Speaker 2 you know, they'll acquiesce to government requests. So if you can get global warming going as a

Speaker 2 non-stop century-long COVID-level crisis, and worse, you can get people to do anything, and you can justify anything, which is why they like it so much.

Speaker 2 Okay, I'm going to stop with your scaremongering because there is another version of 2050, and that version happens if we see a 50% reduction in our greenhouse gases by 2030,

Speaker 2 another 50% by 2040, another 50% by 2050. Well, then the world will be quite different.

Speaker 2 City streets will have more trees and fewer cars, and Americans travel via high-speed electric railroads instead of fossil fuels.

Speaker 2 Come on with this. No, no, no.

Speaker 2 High speed electric railroads. That's how we're going to get around, Stu.
Why speed electric railroads?

Speaker 2 Railroads, look, you might have liked trains when you were a kid, and they were fun to play with. They're a terrible idea for the future of the country.
Like, why? Why?

Speaker 2 Well, number one, they go to only one designated place, and to change where they go,

Speaker 2 it's a big problem. So

Speaker 2 if your population decides to move to a different location, you have a big problem with it. We also had these things, and they're amazing.
They're like birds.

Speaker 2 They fly in the sky, and they do the work of a train 25 faster.

Speaker 2 No, not in 2050. Not in 2050.
But

Speaker 2 I need to cut this short because Alan Derschwitz is back on the phone with us. So I'm going to take a quick break and then come back with Alan Dershowitz.

Speaker 2 And we'll pick up our electric railroad rant in just a minute.

Speaker 2 mr. Alan Dershowitz joins us now from the Dersh show

Speaker 5 the podcast that you listen to daily welcome Alan how are you sir well I'm doing great thank you so much I'm very upset about what's going on in the Middle East and particularly upset about how some Democrats, particularly on the hard left, are creating a moral equivalence between Israel, a democracy that's acting in self-defense, and Hamas, a terrorist organization that commits double war crimes by hiding behind civilians and firing rockets at Israeli civilian targets.

Speaker 5 It's just shocking that AOC and the squad and some even moderate leftist Democrats blame everything on Israel,

Speaker 5 and

Speaker 5 it just shows a form of bigotry.

Speaker 2 I will tell you, Ellen, I had such hope under Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 We had the

Speaker 2 accords coming and things were really changing in the Middle East.

Speaker 2 It's good to see that Saudi Arabia and the others are not participating and they're remaining fairly silent about this in a good way, I guess.

Speaker 2 But boy, our government has become hostile, absolutely hostile.

Speaker 5 I wouldn't say the government. I would say it's a mixed picture.
I would say many legislators and some people in sub-cabinet positions.

Speaker 5 But so far, Lincoln and President Biden have said the right things. That is, Israel is the right of self-defense.
Hamas is a terrorist group.

Speaker 5 You saw that some congresspeople want to hold off giving Israel military aid, including Iron Dome aid, which would be outrageous. So I keep an open mind on the administration.

Speaker 5 I do not keep an open mind on the bigots like AOC and Elon Omeir and Bernie Sanders, a Jewish self-hating bigot.

Speaker 2 You wrote a piece yesterday, Why Does the Hard Left Glorify the Palestinians?

Speaker 2 And I think you nailed it. You want to explain? You know,

Speaker 5 it's not that they glorify the Palestinians. They don't give a damn about the Palestinians.

Speaker 5 When 4,000 Palestinians, including many children and women, have been murdered by Assad and the Syrians, when tens of thousands of Palestinians were killed during Black September by King Hussein, you didn't hear a peep from the hard left.

Speaker 5 It's not the Palestinians that they're focused on. It's the Jews that they're focused on.
The Palestinians are so lucky that their alleged oppressor is the Jews. Look at the Kurds.

Speaker 5 They've been treated much worse than the Palestinians, much worse. Never been offered a state, much worse.
But their oppressors aren't the Jews.

Speaker 5 Their oppressors are the Syrians, the Iranians, the Iraqis, the Turks. So the world doesn't give a damn.

Speaker 5 The world only cares when, or about the Middle East, at least, when Jews are alleged to be the oppressor. It's pure, simple anti-Semitism.

Speaker 5 It's anti-Semitism when it comes from the hard left who aren't Jewish, and it's anti-Semitism when it comes from Jews on the hard left.

Speaker 5 You can be a Jew and an anti-Semite if you apply a double standard to Israel than for every other country in the Middle East.

Speaker 5 That is the definition of anti-Semitism, applying a double standard to the nation state of the Jewish people that you wouldn't apply to any other country. And so it's not about the Palestinians.

Speaker 5 They are lucky. They were offered a state in 1938, 1948, 1967, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2008, and now.
And they've never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity. So, why are we shedding crocodile tears?

Speaker 5 We should be shedding tears over the Palestinian people. They have been victimized by their leaders, but their leaders never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Speaker 5 They could have had a state, they could have had independence, they turned it down because they don't want there to be a Jewish state more than they want to have their own state.

Speaker 5 Those are the words of their original leader, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.

Speaker 2 How do you process all of this?

Speaker 2 I'm having a very difficult time because

Speaker 2 people on the right are being called Nazis, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 2 But let me just give you a few tweets. Hitler did the same.
Time now for the world to stand up against Israel's criminal actions.

Speaker 2 One of my favorite Hitler quotes of all time

Speaker 2 is

Speaker 2 the one that he supposedly, but never did, say, I would have killed the Jews, all the Jews in the world, but I I kept some to show the world why I killed them. Another one is, bro,

Speaker 2 if I could bring somebody back to life, I'd bring Adolf Hitler to finish his unfinished work with you.

Speaker 5 And that all stays up on Twitter, but when President Trump

Speaker 5 tries to tweet in support of Israel, he gets taken down. And let me tell you what's so terrible about that.

Speaker 5 When you take down President Trump because you say he's not telling the truth, then you're suggesting that the people whose tweets stay up are telling the truth.

Speaker 5 So you're validating the pro-Hitler tweets. You're validating a tweet that says Israel isn't a real country.
It's just a colonial experiment.

Speaker 5 If you keep up certain things and take down others, the things you keep on Twitter, you validate as true. And that's the biggest lie of all.

Speaker 5 The biggest lie of all is the social media validating as true anything they don't take down, because if they thought it wasn't true, they would take it down. That's the worst part of it.

Speaker 5 And that's what's happening now in the discussions about the Middle East.

Speaker 2 Have you come to any philosophical understanding of why this keeps happening to the Jews over and over and over again?

Speaker 5 You know, it's the hardest question in the world.

Speaker 5 I don't know. Jews have contributed so much to every country they've been part of.
Jews have helped develop vaccines, helped develop so much medicine, science, and technology. Why the Jews?

Speaker 5 My friend Dennis Prague wrote a book some years ago called Why the Jews? Why are you picking on us?

Speaker 5 It's so hard to understand. The hardest thing to understand is why Jews like Bernie Sanders pick on the Jews.

Speaker 5 Why Jews what's happened today on college campus is if you're Jewish and you want to be in, you have to be an anti-Zionist. Then you can pass the test.
Then you can join the Environmental Club.

Speaker 5 Then you can join the Feminist Club. Then you can join the Pro-Gay club, then you can join all the left-wing organizations.

Speaker 5 But if you want to be a person who joins those organizations, intersectionality demands that you renounce Israel and turn anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian. And nobody asks you to be pro-Kurd.

Speaker 5 Nobody asks you to be pro-Pachechin. Nobody asks you to be pro-Tibetan.
Nobody asks you to be pro-Ugars, who are subject to much, much, much worse human rights violations.

Speaker 5 And I have to tell you, as somebody who has worked on human rights for 60 years,

Speaker 5 I will not be cowed into prioritizing the Palestinian claim over the much more legitimate claims of others who have never been offered statehood and who have not used terrorism and who have not had complicity with the Nazis the way the Palestinians did during the 1940s when the head of the Palestinians went to Germany.

Speaker 5 and conferred with Hitler about how to kill Jews. And his picture, the picture of the Grand Mufti with Hitler, was in many Palestinian houses.

Speaker 5 So don't tell me that the Palestinians don't bear any responsibility for the Holocaust. They do, not all of them, not most of them, but many of them, and their leadership.

Speaker 5 They bear responsibility for the Holocaust. They bear responsibility for terrorism.
They bear responsibility for the spread of anti-Semitism around Europe.

Speaker 5 And when you make a moral equivalence between Israel, a struggling democracy, trying hard to do good, no country in history in 73 years has done more for humankind than Israel in terms of technology, science, literature, how to fight against terrorism, and the world still condemns.

Speaker 5 And there's only one reason to that, and it's called anti-Semitism, but we have to recognize it.

Speaker 2 Alan Dershowitz, thank you so much. I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 You can hear him on The Durse Show.

Speaker 2 You can find that online wherever you get your podcast, The Durse Show. Also, the author of the book, Case Against the New Censorship, Alan Dershowitz.
Thanks for your time. Back in just a minute.

Speaker 2 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 2 They are trying to now say the

Speaker 2 fairness doctrine needs to be reinstituted because

Speaker 2 Talk radio, talk radio listeners, we're just full of lies and we can't tell the difference between truth and fiction.

Speaker 2 That's what they say. Is any of that true?

Speaker 2 Oh, you're going to love the new poll that is out and you'll be the first to hear about it. Justin Haskins joins us in 60 seconds.

Speaker 2 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 2 First, let me tell you about Goldline. On May 4th, I told you about a great book called The Crisis Preparedness Handbook.
Hopefully, you were listening.

Speaker 2 If you weren't, it's okay because Goldline was listening, and they want you, as a customer and a listener, to always be informed, as informed as possible.

Speaker 2 So, Goldline went out, unbeknownst to me, and acquired copies of this book for you. And they'll be sending them to the first 75 people who listen to my program and acquire precious metals this week.

Speaker 2 New existing clients qualify, so don't wait. New and existing.
It's Goldline. If you're thinking about,

Speaker 2 you know, the state of the economy, if you're looking at

Speaker 2 transitory hyperinflation and wondering, gee, I wonder what that does to the dollar. Gee, Wally, mom and dad are going to be awfully sore when they get home.
Find out what you did to the dollar.

Speaker 2 First 75 qualifying orders placed this week will receive a free copy of the Crisis Preparedness Handbook shipped directly to you.

Speaker 2 Ask Goldline about their self-directed IRA specials, how they can help you get started today. Do it now, 866-Goldline.
Call them, 866-Goldline.

Speaker 3 Tomorrow night on Glenn TV.

Speaker 3 Our Constitution says government cannot take from us life, liberty, or property, but big government just took one giant step toward eliminating that right.

Speaker 3 President Biden is in full support of suspending COVID-19 patents, intellectual property privately owned owned by pharmaceuticals. Whose property's next?

Speaker 3 Glenn exposes this alarming suspension of rights. Watch the Great American Reset of Property.
Tomorrow night, 9 p.m. Eastern at PlaysTV.com slash Glenn.

Speaker 2 Justin Haskins is a good friend of the program. He is the editorial director of the Heartland Institute, editor-in-chief of stoppingsocialism.com, and co-writer of the next book that is coming out,

Speaker 2 The Great Reset. Justin, how are you, sir?

Speaker 5 Oh, I'm doing so well, Glenn.

Speaker 2 So well. Yeah.
Appreciate it with you. Yeah.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 this is not going to go over well for those who think that everybody who listens to talk radio is a moron.

Speaker 2 You just did a poll

Speaker 2 and wanted to find out, you know, who knows the news? Who knows

Speaker 2 the general topics in the news? Who knows about the police shootings and climate change? Who knows? What did you find?

Speaker 2 Right.

Speaker 5 So what we wanted to do was go beyond just looking at bias in the news media. We all know that MSNBC and CNN and

Speaker 5 ABC, CBS, NBC, we all know that they're left-leaning outlets and that people who watch them probably have left-leaning opinions. But what we wanted to know was

Speaker 5 how what do they understand about the facts not opinions related to important news stories and just how detached from reality are they because my suspicion was it's pretty darn detached and so what we did was we asked them a whole bunch of questions about media preferences and then we asked them a bunch of questions of factual questions about things going on in the news We asked them about the national debt.

Speaker 5 We asked them about police shootings, climate change questions, the proportion of the population that's uninsured or doesn't have health coverage.

Speaker 5 And then we were able to compare these two things to see if there is a difference. It's a very large poll, likely voters.
And what we found was overwhelmingly,

Speaker 5 in the vast majority of questions that we asked, the people who

Speaker 5 watch NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and MSNBC regularly, who identified it as their favorite network, were far more likely to get these questions about facts wrong.

Speaker 5 In some cases, wildly wrong, compared to people who watch conservative media television, and especially people who get most of their news from talk radio. Talk radio was actually

Speaker 5 the audience that was most likely to get these questions right above all other kinds of categories. But generally speaking, all conservative media way outperformed these liberal outlets.

Speaker 2 So tell me, did they, they, were there differences on climate change? Did they know the hot button issues for the left, like, you know, who lacks insurance, health and care insurance?

Speaker 2 Who, you know, how warm is the temperature going to be in 2050? I mean, was there any question where they excelled?

Speaker 5 There were two questions where they did better than conservatives on average. And those questions were

Speaker 5 in some ways, I think, kind of a mistake. One was how many white people are shot, unarmed white people are fatally shot by police.

Speaker 5 They were more likely to get that right, but they were much more likely to get the question about unarmed African Americans

Speaker 5 fatally shot by police wrong. And so the gap between whites and blacks, they were way, way off.

Speaker 5 To give people an idea of just what we're talking about here,

Speaker 5 81% of MSNBC viewers, 70% of CNN, and more than 70% of the viewers of ABC, CBS, and NBC said that there are at least

Speaker 5 50 fatal police shootings of unarmed African Americans every year. That's at least double the real number, which is about 18, according to the Washington Post

Speaker 5 database. And then a significant proportion dramatically overestimated the number of fatal police shootings of unarmed African Americans.

Speaker 5 So one quarter of CNN viewers, for example, said said there were at least 500 unarmed African Americans killed every year by police. That's 5,000 over the course of a decade compared to less than 200.

Speaker 2 Okay, so wouldn't that

Speaker 2 make sense, though? I mean, you wouldn't think that this kind of coverage would go to something that affected 18 people. There are more than 18 people that die in a swimming pool every year.
I mean,

Speaker 2 it's really quite

Speaker 2 shocking when you actually know the numbers. But if you don't know the numbers, I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if people would say a thousand people are killed because it's an epidemic.

Speaker 2 It's happening everywhere. Right.
Wouldn't you think?

Speaker 5 No, that's exactly right. In fact, 10% of CNN's audience did think that there were a thousand African Americans who were unarmed killed every year by police.

Speaker 2 10%.

Speaker 2 Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 5 And so what this shows beyond any doubt is that coverage that these people are getting, because when we asked conservatives, they were getting these questions right at a much, much higher rate.

Speaker 5 So what it shows is that.

Speaker 2 Give me the talk radio listeners. What did they say?

Speaker 5 For

Speaker 5 which question?

Speaker 2 For the number of unarmed blacks killed by police officers.

Speaker 2 Okay, sure. Just let me

Speaker 5 look it up real quick. But yeah,

Speaker 5 there's no doubt whatsoever that when we asked about any of these questions, they were far more likely to get it wrong. Talk radio was 60%.

Speaker 5 So 60% of talk radio listeners got the correct answer, which was less than 50.

Speaker 5 Compared to CNN, it was 23%. MSNBC, 19%.

Speaker 5 That gives you an illustration of just how detached from reality a lot of these people are. And it's not just on police shootings.
It's on the national debt. It's on every kind of

Speaker 5 virtually every question that we ask. When we asked about the national debt, for example,

Speaker 5 69% of CBS viewers and 65, this is just an example, 65% of NBC viewers and 69% of CBS viewers said that the national debt was much lower than it actually was.

Speaker 5 And about 30% of CNN and 32% of CBS viewers said the national debt was $5 trillion or less.

Speaker 2 $5 trillion. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 The national debt

Speaker 5 $5 trillion was in 1995.

Speaker 2 $5 trillion? How could it be $5 trillion when they're talking about passing another $4 trillion package? I mean,

Speaker 5 exactly.

Speaker 2 And so

Speaker 5 on climate change,

Speaker 5 about half of all MSNBC viewers, ABC, CBS, NBC, about half of them, in fact more than half of them, said that they think that humanity will be humanity, all of humanity will either be extinct or nearly extinct within 100 years.

Speaker 5 And a quarter of them said that they'll be extinct within 50 years because of climate change.

Speaker 2 So 75 wait, wait, so 75% of MSNBC viewers think that within the next 50 to 100 years, we'll all be dead?

Speaker 2 Half.

Speaker 5 Half. I mean, it's half of the people who said within 100 years said within 50 years.

Speaker 2 So it's

Speaker 2 50% of all the viewers,

Speaker 5 25% said less than 50. Right.
So 50%.

Speaker 2 What's the other 50% say?

Speaker 5 Most of the other 50% said that it will happen, but it will just take more than 100 years.

Speaker 2 Okay. All right.
So we're dead either. We're dead either way.

Speaker 5 We're eventually going to die from climate change was the overall

Speaker 5 human race is going to go extinct within 100 years, that means that a majority of people watching these networks believe that their grandchildren will die from climate change.

Speaker 5 That's what it means. I mean, that is totally insane, but that's the message that they're getting from the press.
So this isn't just about opinions.

Speaker 5 We all know that people who are watching these networks are going to have liberal opinions. This is about them not even having,

Speaker 5 how can you form a good opinion when you don't have even the basic information about these topics right?

Speaker 5 And if you're watching those networks, you are not getting even the basic facts right about any of these topics.

Speaker 2 We know that to be true.

Speaker 2 We absolutely know that to be true. In our own lives, we've all met somebody who is a liberal, and if you get the opportunity to talk to them about the news, oh, no, I don't know anything about that.

Speaker 2 They say that all the time.

Speaker 2 I didn't say, where'd you get that?

Speaker 2 You know, thinking that you're going to get that from. And usually it's like...

Speaker 2 The New York Times even printed that.

Speaker 2 They just don't, they don't, they're not impacted because even if their source does do the story, it does it once, and they're drilling down on everything else.

Speaker 2 Did you ask any ask any political questions about Trump or Biden or anything about socialism?

Speaker 5 We did ask about Biden's approval rating. And it was actually kind of, it was interesting.

Speaker 5 As you would expect, the conservative media outlets did not have a particular, people who watch those outlets do not have a particularly fond view of Joe Biden, less than 20% approval across the board for those, well, usually it was even less than that.

Speaker 5 But for CNN, it was actually much lower than I thought, and ABC, CBS as well. The average CNN viewer,

Speaker 5 strong approval for Biden was 57%,

Speaker 5 which is not super high. ABC was 45%.

Speaker 5 CBS was 48%. If you add in somewhat approved, those numbers go up to the 70s or so, depending on the network that you're looking at.

Speaker 5 MSNBC was far and away Biden's network.

Speaker 5 90% approved to some degree, and 70% had strong approval.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 it's not as much as you would expect, without any doubt at all.

Speaker 5 I mean, certainly the average Fox News viewer or the average Blaze viewer or something would have a much higher opinion of Donald Trump when if you're looking at similar polls that have been done in the past

Speaker 5 than liberal viewers of these networks have of Joe Biden right now. So he's not off to a very good start.

Speaker 2 Your big takeaway from this

Speaker 5 I think one of the biggest takeaways beyond just the fact that people who are watching these networks are just

Speaker 5 not getting the truth and so they shouldn't watch them

Speaker 5 is that

Speaker 5 one of the most stunning things about this whole poll is that a significant proportion of people who say that they watch these liberal outlets don't believe that the liberal outlets are liberal.

Speaker 5 They actually think that most of the news that they're getting is either somewhat conservative or mostly conservative.

Speaker 2 More than half of CNN viewers

Speaker 5 and more than half of MSNBC viewers, for for example, in fact, more than 60%

Speaker 5 said that they think that most of the news that they get is somewhat conservative or mostly conservative. So they have no idea that the news that they're watching is actually incredibly liberal news.

Speaker 2 They've never met a conservative.

Speaker 2 If they think that

Speaker 2 how do they know that conservatives despise CNN and all these other outlets

Speaker 2 and think that they are full of nothing but leftist propaganda. How do they square that circle?

Speaker 2 Do they just not?

Speaker 2 It is a bizarre world we're living in. It really, truly is.
All right, Justin, hang on just a sec.

Speaker 2 I've got a couple of other questions kind of going on the great reset when we come back in one minute.

Speaker 6 American Financing, NMLS 1-8-2334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

Speaker 2 How's your financial house holding up these days? Enjoying the transitory inflation that is totally temporary? I mean, absolutely, definitely. Don't be worried about it.
I mean,

Speaker 2 you'd be crazy if you worried about transitory hyperinflation.

Speaker 2 What are you doing in response to that possibility? I mean, something that Bank of America said in the best case scenario, we're looking at transitory hyperinflation.

Speaker 2 One of the things you should be doing is giving the consultants over at American Financing a call.

Speaker 2 If you think you're in the best position you can be in, it doesn't hurt just to give them a call, make sure.

Speaker 2 Whether it's refinancing into a new mortgage at a lower rate while not resetting your loan, or maybe helping you consolidate some heavier percentage debts into something more manageable, American Financing can save you a ton of money every single month.

Speaker 2 Now is the time to call American Financing at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440 or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

Speaker 2 10 seconds, station ID.

Speaker 2 So, Justin, you and I have been working on a book on the Great Reset. And,

Speaker 2 you know, I've looked at it recently, and they're doing the same thing they did with

Speaker 2 the school thing that we all fought against recently?

Speaker 2 Common.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Common Core.

Speaker 2 They're doing the same kind of thing that they did with Common Core. First, they say it's not true.

Speaker 2 Then they start to hedge around it.

Speaker 2 Then they'll come out and go, okay, it is true, but we're not going to do it. And then they just change the name.

Speaker 2 There's a lot of things going on right now where they are

Speaker 2 traveling down that road, but they are telling us now that they're going to do it anyway.

Speaker 2 For instance, Tennessee, they moved to ban critical race theory, but the educators are saying, we're going to, we're going to break the law or we're going to deny that CRT was ever in our schools.

Speaker 2 Well, what's happening to us where people are willing to come out and say, I don't care what the people say, I'm doing it anyway.

Speaker 5 Right.

Speaker 5 I think if you're going to sum up sort of the essence of the great reset movement, really, across the board, whether it's a teacher who supports these kinds of ideas generally, or corporate leaders at big multinational banks and other things, It's that there's this sense that it really doesn't matter what people want because they don't know what's good for them.

Speaker 5 And we,

Speaker 5 the sort of technocrats of society, the elites in society, we know what's best. And we will guide these people whether they like it or not, whether they want it or not.

Speaker 5 And we're just going to go through with it regardless, and in this case, even regardless of what the laws say, and because they know that, frankly, the mob is on their side, and because they know that the elite institutions not just of America but of the entire world are on their side and because they know that the White House is on their side and therefore all the federal agencies are on their side I think they're going to become increasingly more brazen about these kinds of attempts because the cat is out of the bag.

Speaker 5 I mean, we know what's going on and you've been talking about this now for almost a year. We know what's happening.

Speaker 5 And people are starting to learn about it all the time. So they're not going to be able to hide it.
But what they're going to do is exactly what you just said.

Speaker 5 They're going to say, yeah, you know what? It is happening, but it's for the best.

Speaker 5 And we're going to do it anyway because we got to save the planet or we got to fix income inequality or we got to stop racism or whatever it is. The ends always justify the means.

Speaker 5 And that's what this whole movement, it's the essence of this whole movement is that these people can control society better than you can manage your own life as an individual person.

Speaker 2 Which explains another story that is out today about how Apple has been working with the Chinese government and they are censoring and surveilling Chinese citizens and giving all of that information over to China.

Speaker 2 The ends justify the means. Thanks so much, Justin.
I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 You can, of course, you bet, you can find all of this information on that latest survey at the Heartland Institute. He's the editorial director there, the Heartland Institute.

Speaker 2 Hey, yo!

Speaker 2 Let me talk about Governor Cuomo for a second. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 So...

Speaker 2 It seems to be a problem. People are saying, hey, Governor Cuomo, he got got paid $5.12 million for a book that only sold 50,000 copies.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 2 That

Speaker 2 means that they had to pay

Speaker 2 about $100 a copy, something like that. You know what I'm saying? So

Speaker 2 what's the problem there?

Speaker 2 $5.1 million. I asked for $6.9 million.
They ripped me off. 6.9.
They negotiate down the 5.1. That's like $4.5 trillion difference.
So I didn't get anything. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 I was smoked and ripped off. And by the way, you say Simon and Schuster should know better than that.

Speaker 2 These are the people that printed the Hillary Clinton book. Come on.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 4 There's no way.

Speaker 2 There's no way. 5.12 billion.

Speaker 2 Sorry, million dollars, million dollars. I forget sometimes, you know, you think a million is not that much anymore.

Speaker 2 $5.1 million

Speaker 2 for his book. There is no way,

Speaker 2 no way, unless it's like a

Speaker 2 Michelle Obama book.

Speaker 2 There's no way they're ever going to make that back. No way.
Remember, his last book sold legitimately like 4,000 copies. It was like no one was buying it.
So

Speaker 2 you sign Andrew Cuomo and you give him $5 million for a book that, look, 50,000 copies, we can all laugh at it, right? But for Andrew Cuomo, that is a miracle.

Speaker 4 A miracle he sold 50,000 copies of a book.

Speaker 2 I'm not sure everybody bought that book, though. I just,

Speaker 2 you know,

Speaker 2 it just,

Speaker 2 I've written a few books, okay? I've written a few books.

Speaker 2 I will tell you that every book agent in the world knows that the days of advances or bonuses being paid, big bonuses, those days are long gone.

Speaker 2 Because people, you know, it wasn't unheard of to get a $5 million bonus, you know, for a couple of book deal or something like that when you sign on back in the days where people were selling 5 million books.

Speaker 2 You can make that money easily when you're selling one, two, five million books.

Speaker 2 the average thriller now which are the best-selling books they sell like 500,000 copies you're not making five five million dollars from five hundred uh uh thousand copies you're just not not that not that you could share with anybody I mean the the the simon and schuster they'll take at least half of everything just for production what come on yeah I mean listen this is a new rep the new republic on this today.

Speaker 2 The headline of the story. Why would anyone pay Andrew Cuomo $4 million for a book? Now he's actually getting five, we think.

Speaker 2 5.12.

Speaker 2 Seven years ago, on the eve of being elected to a second term as governor, Andrew Cuomo completed a rite of passage familiar to all presidential aspirants. He published a memoir, All Things Possible.

Speaker 2 It is overlong at more than 550 pages. Good God Almighty.
Cliche-written and hopelessly dull, which is to say standard issue political tome.

Speaker 2 Cuomo was paid more than $700,000 by Harbor Collins, and the book had an initial print of $200,000. But five months later,

Speaker 2 after it was published, it had sold just over 3,000 copies in hardcover and 13

Speaker 2 audiobooks.

Speaker 2 Oh my gosh. 13

Speaker 2 total audiobooks in a year and they paid it $5 million for this next book. If that were me, I mean, I think I would have bought an extra 13 audiobooks just so it wouldn't be 13.

Speaker 2 Just to say 26 audiobooks. Yeah, 26 sounds a lot better than 13.

Speaker 2 I mean, you have to assume someone in his family bought one, right? I mean, how, so, so let me

Speaker 2 so let me let me ask you this, Du. Sincerely, money laundering.

Speaker 2 Yeah, like there's this thing that goes on, and I'm sure you're very well aware of all

Speaker 2 very nuanced sports stories that are tied to the NCAA. But you can't pay college athletes, right? You can't pay them.

Speaker 2 They're quote-unquote amateurs. And so

Speaker 2 sometimes...

Speaker 2 These just really talented athletes luck in to jobs at like local car washes where they make $175 an hour. Hey, that's what we pay all of what we pay him.
Yeah, not yet.

Speaker 4 That's the going rate for him.

Speaker 2 Right. What? He doesn't have to show up.
He's a hard-working kid.

Speaker 2 I haven't seen him once at the car wash, but he's due a raise. I'll tell you that right now.

Speaker 2 And just happens to be a very wealthy alumni who owns that car wash. And it's just a bunch of people.
It's a total coincidence. What are you talking about? Right.

Speaker 2 I didn't even know. I didn't even.
He says,

Speaker 2 I go to that that school. I say, I used to go to that school.
What are the odds? Right.

Speaker 2 Don't answer that question. It is tempting to say that it's money laundering because it looks like money laundering.
Now, I don't know exactly how that would work, but I will say this.

Speaker 2 It's one thing to say, like, okay, Andrew Cuomo released a book and it failed. We are all very familiar with that storyline.

Speaker 2 We're familiar with anything in Cuomo's life that's a failure because that's what he's, you know, he's a constant failure. That's his life.
But

Speaker 2 this is something that could not succeed. This is not something that just, oh, they took a shot at Cuomo and they were like, oh, man, we

Speaker 2 Hillary Clinton's book, right? We all made fun of it. Could have succeeded, right? She is a major political, a major public figure.
She may have been elected president, right?

Speaker 2 She barely lost a presidential election. So she was

Speaker 2 media could have made some of its money back. There's no chance for Cuomo.

Speaker 2 Why is it that these deals only happen to liberal politicians? I mean,

Speaker 2 think about it.

Speaker 2 How come it's only liberal politicians that get these deals?

Speaker 2 There's no conservative that's getting a deal like that.

Speaker 2 They won't even give a conservative a book deal. It's liberal politicians that get these astronomical,

Speaker 2 gigantic signing bonuses in a world where there are no signing bonuses anymore. And they all have a record of being dismal failures.

Speaker 2 And nobody on the board of directors at Simon ⁇ Schuster is going, well, what's going on here? That doesn't seem like a good business deal. And it's not the first time.

Speaker 2 It seems to happen every time we sign a liberal politician. Hmm.

Speaker 2 What's happening here?

Speaker 2 Nobody's accountable for that money in the free market. Nobody's accountable for that money.
I mean, trying to come up with any other

Speaker 2 reason as to why this happened.

Speaker 2 He did go through a phase where the media adored him and constantly praised him and said he was America's governor for a couple of weeks. He sold 13 audio books.
13 audio books.

Speaker 2 No, there's no way to get to it. I mean, because you'd have to sell what? I mean, really, to make it even close to worth it, a million books? You know, and no one sells them.

Speaker 2 I mean, not no one, but barely

Speaker 2 rarely. This is not the days of like, you know, the mid-90s where you could rip off multi-million dollar bestsellers from pretty much anybody who's famous.
Like, this is, no one reads books anymore.

Speaker 2 Not to mention, Glenn, I will say, this also occurred during a pandemic where none of the stores were open.

Speaker 2 So, like, any sales you might get of people walking around and walking into a bookstore didn't even occur.

Speaker 2 I mean,

Speaker 2 it's at least the single worst business move in American history.

Speaker 2 That is the absolute best reading of this. But I think that's the name of the name

Speaker 2 of the name. Worse than Blockbuster refusing to purchase Netflix is this.
This is,

Speaker 2 I mean, you want to talk well beyond New Coke.

Speaker 2 We are way down in the doldrums of business history.

Speaker 2 But see, that's what's so interesting about this. Blockbuster went out of business.

Speaker 2 So they paid for that. New Coke paid through the nose for that.

Speaker 2 Simon eschuster just doesn't seem to be bothered by it. They just keep making these deals, losing millions of dollars, and no one questions it.

Speaker 2 Look, I think you could look at the whole book industry and say that things are not going well. So, I mean, you can argue there's plenty of punishments for some of these bad deals.

Speaker 2 But this one's inexplicable, Glenn. I mean, I can't.
Stu, do you know of a place that,

Speaker 2 do you think Apple?

Speaker 2 Somebody goes, you know what?

Speaker 2 I think we need to make Apple eight-track tapes. And he puts $5 million into it and it sells 13.

Speaker 2 Do you think that guy is even listened to?

Speaker 2 Not even listened to, let alone the next time, give him $10 million. Right.
I mean, it's the $700,000

Speaker 2 rock idea. A $700,000 bonus is a terrible move

Speaker 2 to give to Andrew Cuomo. And it failed so horribly.
You'd think the next book, he'd get a $0 bonus, right? That was the right number.

Speaker 2 We'll publish the book and then we'll split the proceeds. Right.
Absolute best case scenario for Andrew Cuomo.

Speaker 2 Even publishing his book, I think, is questionable when you talk about the fact that he only sold 3,500 copies. But

Speaker 2 okay. I mean, someone had to read that audiobook.
Was it Cuomo? Did he actually sit in a studio so he could sell 13 books? I mean, I don't know, but it is.

Speaker 2 I'll bet you, I'll bet you that

Speaker 2 the guy halfway through the audiobook, maybe even halfway through the first chapter, just went, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

Speaker 2 Nobody's listening.

Speaker 2 Chapter four.

Speaker 2 Because they do have

Speaker 2 professionals who read these books, the professional audiobook readers. But I mean, wouldn't it be just confusing for the person to say,

Speaker 2 over and over again in the middle of

Speaker 2 me good leader

Speaker 2 i'm so good i just ripped simon and schuster off for 5.12 million dollars learn how to do it buy my book yeah because

Speaker 2 and we're focusing on the wrong part of the story by the way we should we should we should center ourselves simon and schuster making a dumb business move i mean look they signed you to a contract so they're known for that whoa whoa whoa

Speaker 2 your book your deal deal looks a hell of a lot better than the Cuomo one. Right.
Yeah, no, you've sold plenty of books. But

Speaker 2 in all seriousness, people asked over and over again, why would Andrew Cuomo, why? Not how, but why would he hide these numbers in the nursing homes?

Speaker 2 Because he knew eventually they were going to come out. There's no doubt about that.
It was just a matter of time. And we said over and over again, this is coming, this is coming, this is coming.

Speaker 2 Eventually, the numbers came out. And since then, his career has cratered.
Why did he lie about it? Why did he have multiple staffers going through scientific reports and deleting numbers?

Speaker 2 Why did he do that? $5.12 million is why he did it.

Speaker 2 He literally went through and took people's lives, lied about them, lied about their deaths, lied about why they died, lied about why his policies killed them to maintain $5.12 million.

Speaker 2 That's what happened. That's why this is a really important story.
And of course, the media is still sitting around waiting for the results of this sexual harassment report, which is important.

Speaker 2 But there is way more than enough to say not only did Simon Schuster sign a bad deal, this is borderline criminal activity.

Speaker 2 I don't know, I'm not a legal expert in the state of New York, but how this isn't, if this isn't a crime, it certainly should be. It certainly should be.
You're exactly right. Thank you, Stu.

Speaker 2 Hustler Turf, one of the largest manufacturers of zero-turn lawnmowers in the world.

Speaker 2 Oh, I'm sorry. It's Relief Factor.
Oh, good. I wanted to talk to you about Relief Factor.
I ran out of Relief Factor this weekend. Holy cow.

Speaker 2 just

Speaker 2 in so much pain.

Speaker 2 Anne lives in Oklahoma. She used to suffer from pain in her shoulders so severe that literally for five years of her life, she had to sleep sitting in a chair with pillows stuffed behind her.

Speaker 2 Her shoulders would swell during the day, hurt in the evening. By night, they'd just go numb.

Speaker 2 I mean, that's that's no way to live. She was starting to believe that that's just the way she's going to live the rest of her life.
Then she heard me talking on this program about Relief Factor.

Speaker 2 She was skeptical for a long time, and by a long time, I mean two years, two years.

Speaker 2 Come on, Anne.

Speaker 2 Two years? You didn't trust me on this? Well, she eventually tried it. And guess who sleeps on her back now? Pain-free.
Ann. Ann got her life back.
You can too. I got my life back.

Speaker 2 You can can too.

Speaker 2 Trust me, when it works, though, don't stop taking it because you'll realize, oh my gosh, oh,

Speaker 2 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 2 Stu,

Speaker 2 you know, there's been a lot of talk of Dr. Fauci and not making any sense and,

Speaker 2 you know, being untrustworthy. And there's also been a lot of talk of UFOs.
Is there a chance that Dr. Fauci is the first in the landing party?

Speaker 2 I mean, that's obviously ridiculous. There's no higher than an 80% chance that's true.

Speaker 2 No higher.

Speaker 2 Wouldn't you be relieved, though? Really? The world would make sense. You'd be like, oh, they've been aliens the whole time.

Speaker 2 That would make sense. Now it all comes together.
I get it now. Isn't it weird, though, that these things are just not stories?

Speaker 2 I mean, 60 Minutes did.

Speaker 2 Yeah, 60 Minutes covered this and showed multiple videos of UFOs. And

Speaker 2 the government is basically admitting they have no idea what they are.

Speaker 2 I was talking to Jordan Peterson, a very smart guy, and I said, what do you think is up with the UFO thing and the Pentagon coming out?

Speaker 2 What is happening with that? He's like, UFOs? What are you talking about?

Speaker 2 Hello, for the last two years, the Pentagon's been ringing every bell. We're being watched.
We're being watched. And nobody seems to care.
It's the most...

Speaker 2 In a time of bizarre things, it's possibly the most bizarre that nobody seems to care about this.

Speaker 2 All right, we'll see you tomorrow night, Blaze TV, and tomorrow back here on the radio. This is the Glenn Back Program.
