We're off greens, is our sponsor this half hour.
Uh, Uno is a completely different dog since I started feeding him rough greens.
It's not a food, it's a supplement that you put on his uh food.
It is just and my
wife,
Uno and I were fine when she was gone.
You know, I made his food, but
she is
adamant that it has to be done a certain way.
The rough greens before she left had to be mixed in.
Now we've changed dog foods, and now she says, no, it has to be on top.
I can't keep track.
Uno eats it either way.
Mixed in, on top.
He doesn't really, he's not a human.
This message to my wife, mainly, sorry about that.

Rough Greens right now, roughgreens.com/slash back.

Hello, America.
It's Monday.
And I know, I know, ouch, right?
It's Monday.
But I have good news for you.
No matter what's happening in your life, no matter how bad you think it is, no matter how bad the news is,
I want you to look at life today this way.
At least you're not the mayor of Portland.
We begin there in 60 seconds.
The Glenn Beck Program.
So Tyler wrote in about his experience with American financing.
By the way, thank you so much for listening and then trying these things and letting me know how things went.
He wrote in and said, Hey, Craig was
super helpful in securing a lower interest rate for refinance.
The entire process was quick and it was easy.
I was contacted quickly, and my questions were answered, and I was able to defer two months of payments, and the closing was a breeze.
They came right to my house.
This is great.
Now, Tyler's experience could be your experience if you call American Financing today.
If you are fiscally responsible and you want to find a way to save yourself hundreds, if not $1,000 or more a month, all you have to do is call American Financing.
Tell them what you have in credit cards.
Tell them what your mortgage is.
Tell them what your mortgage rate is, and watch what happens.
When you pick up the phone and call American Financing, you're making a decision that will affect your life positively.
I highly recommend if you are fiscally responsible, do everything you can to get the mortgage rate down as far as you can and get out of those high-interest credit cards.

Hey, Stu, welcome to Monday.
Thanks, Glenn.
I appreciate it.
It was great.
I took my kids' food out of my oven last night
with my bare hand, which was a terrible idea, apparently.
And so I just scorched my.
Can I see?
I mean,
it's going to be hard.
You're not going to be able to see anything, but I basically, I had a towel, but it sort of, I guess, moved right as I was picking it up.
Well, it's good good to reach into the oven with a towel.
Well, you know, I mean, I don't know.
It was
an older or was it a towel?
It was a towel because, of course, obviously my house was filled with water.
So now I'm living upstairs and none of the stuff is anywhere.
So I just grabbed a towel thinking, I don't know, as an adult, I'd be able to figure it out and not go to the emergency room.
So I had to, that was my has this just been the worst year?
I curse anybody who says, hey, 2020, I can't wait till 2021.
I told you at at the time I will curse you.
I'm cursing you right now.
It only gets
the worst year.
We had golf ball size hail, and I just traded a truck in, our farm truck, for a new truck.
I had it for two
days.
And now, golf ball hail.
It's just riddled.
It looks like I put it out in front of a driving range.
It is just two days, two days old.
Incredible.
So anyway,
but
no matter what is happening in your life, no matter what is happening, thank your lucky stars you are not Ted Wheeler today.
Ted Wheeler is the mayor of Portland.
Now, remember, what was it, last week where he came out and said, well, I've had enough of this.
Oh, boy, let me tell you something else about Antifa.
I've got to get rid of those guys.
Yeah, after multiple years of them destroying the city, he's decided to talk tough.
Yeah.
We're going to get rid of them.
And
you know, any of these screetings, you call the police.
Wait a minute, call the police.
You hated the police.
What happened?
What happened?
Well, that's kind of what
Antifa is now saying.
What happened?
See, they didn't like him before.
You see, they want something
called anarchy.
So Antifa has made
nice little video that is spooky as hell.
I want to play it for you.
I want you to listen.
This is how far out of control Portland is.
Listen.
Hello.
We come to you as a small collective from within the anarchist and anti-fascist community.
Do not speak for the whole, as each individual may carry different ideologies and beliefs about how things could, should, or will be accomplished.
We hope with this message to simply convey a few points that are commonly agreed upon within this community.
The mayor of this city is undeserving of his position.
He has made it abundantly clear that windows to him are more important than human life.
But we are not just challenging the idea of having Ted as a mayor.
We are challenging the idea of having mayors at all.
We want abolition.
Abolition is absolute.
If peaceful marches, speeches, and voting were enough to bring about that goal, then we would have already been there.
Window smashing and riots are a necessary escalation when those in power have proven that they are unwilling to listen and have made the choice to ignore you.
We are moving with a sense of urgency because not only is this system destroying us, it's destroying the very planet that we live on.
This movement encompasses the liberation of all those oppressed by the system whether it be black, indigenous, Hispanic, etc.
Nobody owns this movement and wants us who are trying to claim ownership of this movement just leads to more division, which is counterproductive to all of our goals.
We are on the same side, though.
And the more time we spend fighting each other, the less energy we have to fight the true enemy.
So let's start local, with our own city's failed leadership.
Ted, we are asking for the last time that you resign.
If you ignore this message outright, the destruction to your precious way of life is going to escalate.
Blood is already on your hands, Ted.
But next time, it it may just be your own.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Well, that's nice.
It ends with the address of the mayor's house.
Okay,
may I just go through this here quickly?
First of all, he says
we represent, I represent Antifa, but I don't really speak for everybody because it's a collective and I can't speak for everybody in it because everybody has their own ideas.
Now, this is a really interesting thing because we are all supposed to kowtow and think exactly what anyone tells us to think.
But Antifa, apparently, at this stage of the game, has more respect for diverse opinion than current society does.
Okay.
Then they tell you exactly what they want.
They don't want justice.
They think justice is eradicating the entire system.
Now that seems like a threat to, I don't know, all of us.
You know, when they say, oh, no police, we don't really mean no police.
Yes, they do.
Yes, they do.
Then they say this is a necessary escalation because nothing else is working and
global warming.
They're looking for the liberation of everyone.
Now, this goes to a story that I will tell you in just a little while about how Los Angeles is thinking about letting 76,000 prisoners out onto the streets.
Then, strangely,
Antifa
says, look, we have some problems with some people, but we all really need to work together.
What?
What?
So we all need to work together.
This is a call for everyone on the left to put our differences aside and fight together because we can win if we fight together.
We might want to remember that one.
Then the next tip is think local.
Huh.
Maybe we should remember that one as well.
Then it ends with a threat to the mayor.
Now, here's what Andy No had to say about this.
He said, you know, the police and the FBI are now looking into
this
video and who posted it, etc., etc.
Andy No
was the first person
to point out that the user, Hazy 1312, was the first person to promote the video and follow the obscure newly created account, not a threat.
So
Hazy 1312,
he writes, looks like a response has been formed to some of the anarchists in Portland after recent comments made by Ted Wheeler.
Now,
this guy is a far-left journalist.
1312 is coding for ACAB.
All cops are whatever.
And
Hazy 1312 is wearing the same mask as the guy in the video on his little picture up there on the corner.
He's wearing the same mask.
And by the way, it was the website
had been
created right before it was released.
And somehow or another, this guy just stumbled onto it.
Oh my gosh, look at this.
So I'm not sure it's going to be hard for the FBI, but maybe it will.
Maybe this guy had nothing to do with it.
I'm sure.
I'm pretty sure that's
anyway.
So we have this ad.
We also have had assaults in Seattle and all through Oregon, but it's not just there.
In Austin, we have
the sound of the communists marching through Austin.
So there they are, carrying the red flags.
No, no, no, that's it's not a sign of communism at all.
Then the
Then the driver that goes through the protesters blocking the road The protesters, I believe this one was in Seattle as they were trying to
get it
Look at this.
They're just on top of the car
Good.
I mean what are you gonna do?
Are you actually gonna to stop?
I'm not.
I'm driving on.
These people just jumped on the car and
he moved on.
Here's a student leader encouraging the students in Minneapolis to place fake calls to the police and make their lives hell.
Listen to this.
You say disrupt UMPD.
What exactly do you mean by that?
Make their lives hell.
Annoy the f out of them.
Okay.
I'm saying, what are they over?
Do we know?
I don't know if Amy, you know,
Morgan, you mentioned stuff with UMPD.
Like
use up their resources, make their officers show up to something.
She's talking, unfortunately, we lost the audio there.
Gosh, I'm sorry we couldn't hear more.
The girl is Lauren Myers.
She's the chief financial officer for the Minnesota Student Association.
And get this.
She's the co-chair of the Office for Student Affairs Mental Health Committee.
So
you're feeling pretty good if you, you know, hey,
my daughter, my son's going to college, you know, in Minnesota.
He's kind of having a hard time.
He's struggling, you know, feeling a little low.
Oh, that's great.
Go to the mental health committee.
You got Lauren Myers there.
She'll certainly help.
By the way, it's a felony, maximum fine of $20,000, and
could be followed by a 10-year prison sentence for making false calls to the police.
That's good.
Don't worry about it.
Clearly, because the law has been set up to discriminate against people breaking the law.
And no one talks about that.
Well, you just did, and I thank you for it.
You're welcome.
You know, you make so much sense.
You make so much sense.
And,
you know, between you, I don't know who my favorite person is.
You or the creepy, oh, Ted Wheeler, we're coming for you.
I just don't know.
Do you have any?
I mean, I feel really
bad for Ted Wheeler.
I mean, no, I'm nervous for Ted Wheeler.
I wouldn't want to be Ted Wheeler.
I don't know what I would do if I were Ted Wheeler.
I would take this very seriously if I were Ted Wheeler.
But I
feel for him as a fellow human being, but intellectually, I really don't have that much sympathy for him.
He's allowed this to go on in his community for so long when everyone outside of the community was saying.
Throw it.
Yeah.
And everyone outside of the community was saying, hey, that sounds like a really terrible idea.
Continued to do it all throughout the election.
that was going on.
All through 2020, this was stoked by not only Portland, but activists all over the country.
And as you've pointed out a hundred times, Glenn, they don't a normal Democrat or even a left-leaning Democrat.
That's not who these people are.
They're not going to stop because Joe Biden got elected.
That's what the left wanted to use this for.
But it's not going to stop because of that.
They're going to keep it.
I'm not even sure AOC would be safe in the end.
You know, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and all these people, they're just in as much trouble as Ted Wheeler is with this group.
You know, once, if this group would ever get real power,
they don't hate the politicians.
They want them eradicated.
They're not going to be kind and say, well, we'll wait for the next election and let's see what the American people say about you, Chuck Schumer.
They're not going to.
I said this when?
2009?
These people will drag people, including media who are playing footsie with them.
They'll drag them out of their broadcast chair while live on television and beat them to death in the streets.
And
they won't have a second thought because that's who they are.
That's what they believe.
Yeah, you
take these people seriously when they start burning down your buildings and attacking police officers.
It's like they act as if it's some little jokey college protest until it makes them move from their apartment.
And it's like, well,
it's hard.
I'm with you.
I mean, it's hard to feel intellectual sympathy for this.
Of course,
that doesn't mean that they disagree with this.
But you feel human sympathy.
But intellectually, if these were just people we were reading about and they weren't, it was history, I would have no sympathy for Ted Wheeler because it's not history and I have no idea what's going to happen and I don't want anything bad to happen to anybody.
I do have sympathy.
But intellectually,
I mean, you don't put the genie back in the bottle.
How is Portland or Seattle, how are they going to put this genie back in the bottle
without extreme police force?
And who's going to like that?
Who's going to do that?
I mean, you'd have to hire basically the thugs that are currently on the street to do it.
I mean, who's going to, what good, honorable police officer is going to be left in the Seattle or Portland or Minnesota Police Department?
And we should point out that the president, the former president now, tried to do do something about this and offered help hundreds of times and was ignored and was called fascist for even offering the help.
So, again, it feels really difficult to muster up a sympathy outside of what we're talking about because
this was utilized to try to make the president look bad for the past year.
And now that it's continuing after the election, it's like, oh, gosh, like we're really, I can't believe what's going on.
It's like, well, I mean, you brought this upon yourself.
I mean,
they continually acted as if this was not a real threat when everyone saw buildings on fire and federal buildings being attacked, police officers being assaulted.
No one seemed to care.
All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
It's Timeshare Termination Team.
It's spring.
Time to throw all that crap that you've accumulated over months and years.

And I said to my wife, I'll go through your stuff.
You go through my stuff, and we just dump it.
Anyway, this year, you might want to think about spring cleaning with a timeshare.
I mean, getting out, throwing that in the dumpster.
You're not using it.

10 seconds, station ID.
We're going to talk about Mitt Romney and the wonderful, wonderful ovation that he got in Utah here in just a second.
First, did you see Caitlin Jenner saying if you're a biological boy, you shouldn't be in girls' sports?
I know.
Controversial.
Very controversial.
That's what we've learned.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, I've been reading up on this and, you know,
she's right.
And it's weird because if I could mention when she was a he,
he was an Olympic athlete.
So he knows a little bit of something about this.
Now, I don't know if that traveled on with him when he became a she.
I'm actually, I'm 100% positive it did, but I don't think the New York Times would allow you to point that out.
Anyway, I'm reading the stories this weekend, and I love this one.
Caitlin's words are huge, but let's look at the numbers because this isn't as black as and black and white as it may seem.
While some argue trans girls would naturally perform better in athletes because of higher testosterone levels, that's not entirely true.
So then why do we have boys sports and girls' sports?
Yeah,
put them all in, then no.
science is
science is looking at this again?
Why?
Unreal.
I mean, just put them all together.
If there's no difference, put them all together.
You know why we don't do this?
Because everyone knows scientists and you're destroying your scientific credibility.
This is the Glenback program.
So nobody likes to have to pay for car repairs.
Not you, not me, not anyone.
It's why Jesus didn't have one.
Unfortunately, cars break down over time, especially right about the time the warranty goes out on them.
I don't know if you've been paying attention to what I've been saying lately, but inflation is already here.
Listen to the third hour.
I'm going to go into that.
Holy cow is it coming.
It's showing up now in the car industry.
partly because of the computer chip shortage.
The Ford's saying they're not even going to be able to complete their fleet in this quarter because they can't get the computer chips.
Do you know what that means if one of your computer chips goes down?
It's going to cost you an arm and a leg.

It is Monday.
Flenn Beck, Stu Brigier, and Pat Gray is joining us from Pat Gray Unleashed, the podcast that you can hear every day, Monday through Friday, here on the Blaze, right before this program airs live, or you can pick it up later as a podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
All right.
I want to start with some audio from
Utah and the audio of Mitt Romney coming to the stage.
Do we have it?
Do we have it?
We don't have it.
Okay.
I don't know how that happened.
Let me reenact.
I think we had that for my show.
Is it not on my show's sheet?
Did we?
Thank you.
But you have to assume it was just
glorifying and very positive.
It was.
It was beautiful.
Other than that, very warm.
Round booing.
It was really warm and fuzzy.
Yeah,
it was quite ugly.
It was quite ugly.
This is the GOP convention in Utah.
And everybody knows how I feel about Mitt Romney.
You love him, right?
Big fan.
You adore him.
Adore him.
Love him.
He's a Romney head.
People call him a Romney head.
He tours the country with other Romney heads.
Yeah,
you guys did that really good comedy tour together.
We loved it.
We loved it.
We loved it.
Okay, so
let me explain because
I was seeing all kinds of articles about this
and why Romney was booed and how rude it was and everything else.
For Mid Romney and the GOP and everybody else to understand what happened,
Mid Romney, I'm sure is a nice guy.
I've met him several times and he's always been kind and gracious, but I find him phony.
After meeting with somebody for a few times,
when they're not a senator, you can kind of see if they're phony or not as a politician.
He's a politician.
Now, normally that's not a bad thing, but we're at a time where people don't want politicians.
Politicians are perceived as saying one thing,
but they actually believe and do something else.
And they generally don't like the people who vote for them.
They're elitists.
Romney said, look, I'm a Republican, as they were still booing him.
I'm a Republican.
Yes, that's kind of the problem, Mitt.
I know this is a Republican convention, but that's kind of the problem.
What does that mean?
And so the GOP in Utah should wake up.
You either have to split, which would be a horrible mistake,
or you need to recognize that the majority of people that were there that were booing, they're kind of booing the GOP as well.
And here's why.
What does the GOP stand for?
Does it stand for the Constitution?
Because the Constitution, small government, trusts the people to do it themselves, America first without being bigoted.
That's what we thought Republicans stood for.
But we don't believe that anymore.
However, at the same time, you notice they didn't boo Mike Lee.
Mike Lee got a standing ovation and no booze.
Why is that?
Mike Lee is not a flamethrower.
He's not a bomb thrower.
He's not, he doesn't make fun of people.
He's not like Donald Trump, because that's what they try to say about anybody who disagrees with people like Mitt Romney.
He's Donald Trump.
No, Mike is constitutional, even when it goes against what he might wish could be true.
See, Mitt and GOP supporters, Mitt has spent the last few years calling half the country bigots, racists, and extremists.
And he may not have used those words, but through his actions and his lack of defense and cooperation with the senior senator from his state, Mike Lee, he demonstrates it all the time.
And quite honestly, the GOP, half of it, is tired of being called a racist, a bigot, or an extremist for believing in the Constitution of the United States of America.
That's it.
That's all that was about.
You disagree, Pat, or no.
What are your thoughts?
I agree completely.
And
that's the right forum for what they did with Mitt Romney.
They let him know at a political convention what they thought of him.
I don't like it when
people on the right are doing that to him in public.
That's the, you know, that's the Maxine Waters.
It was come on the streets, get in them in their face.
And then when he got on that plane, then people were yelling traitor at him.
I don't like that.
That's wrong.
That's wrong.
I don't like that either.
I don't like that.
When he's on the stage, I mean, but he's on the stage at the Republican convention.
That's the time to let him know how you feel about him.
And I, and I, it made me uncomfortable.
I didn't like it, but that is the appropriate time to let him know exactly what you feel, that and at the election booth.
Right.
When he's in public, you just don't sing along.
I mean, we have to remember what our moms all taught us.
If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.
Now, there is an exception unless you do my job, because this would be a one-minute show, maybe a 20-second show every day.
Yes.
So you,
you know, we have to have common decency.
And that is the thing that I think, again, Mike Lee represents.
Common decency.
I mean, he can work with anyone.
He can work with Bernie Sanders.
How is he defined as an extremist?
And make no mistake, in Utah, that's half of what the GOP calls him.
They call him and believe he's an extremist,
you know, because they're still following an Oren Hatch kind of philosophy.
The Mike Levitt, Orin Hatch people are terrible to Mike Lee.
They treat him as
garbage.
Yes.
Yes.
He's treated by garbage by, surprisingly, a lot of of very powerful people in Utah.
Let me play the audio.
You have the audio now.
Here he is, walking out on stage.
Now, you know me as a person who
says what he thinks, and I don't hide the fact that I wasn't a fan of our last president's character issues.
And I'm also no fan.
I mean, this is just a bloodbath.
Aren't you embarrassed?
Aren't you embarrassed?
And I'm also not embarrassed.
He's saying all the wrong things.
Yeah,
stop, stop.
He's saying all the wrong things.
He's antagonizing the crowd.
Instead of saying, look,
I take it.
I wasn't ashamed, but I take it.
I know a lot of people are upset at me.
I get it.
I get it.
Go ahead.
Let it out.
Go ahead.
He's like, aren't you embarrassed?
What?
I mean, it's just the
elitist
speaking, I think.
You take it like a man on stage.
You take it like a man.
And you
say,
I understand.
I get it.
I will say this in his defense.
He had to know that was coming.
And he went anyway.
And he spoke anyway.
He had to.
He had to.
He kind of had to, but he faced it and took it.
And
how did that decision work out for him?
Maybe that was not very well.
You know, he had to.
Maybe he didn't have to.
There's another side to it.
Yeah.
I mean, he still really believes.
He still really believes that
he's on the right side.
And, you know, maybe he is.
I don't think so, but maybe he is.
He still believes he's on the right side of
history and what is coming.
He's still playing a long game, he thinks, that
people who follow Mike Lee are extremists and are going to fall by the wayside.
I don't think so.
I mean, I just don't think so.
You know, we believe we're the hope of freedom for the future.
And I don't see anybody on this side sitting down.
But
he believes that.
And is what makes him even more infuriating.
I wonder how he is going to fare in his next election.
I mean, I don't think people are going to forget this.
Oh, I think he loses.
I think that people will forget it.
Yeah, I think he'll lose.
Yeah, I do.
Not to a Democrat, maybe, but he'll be primary and lose to a Republican.
That's what I think.
A Republican or a constitutionalist?
Well, yeah.
I mean, somebody on the right.
Yeah, but Mitt Romney's on the right.
Not really.
I mean, somebody right about Mitt Romney.
He was the guy who said on that very stage, look, I've been a Republican my whole life.
A Republican who had pro-abortion for some time in the 90s, if we would remember correctly.
A Republican who had Romney care instituted in Massachusetts.
That's not much of a Republican.
I mean, that's really the main problem with Mitt Romney from the beginning is that he's not really on the right.
He's not really terribly conservative.
No.
No.
No.
Hard to believe.
And
he really kind of started out where Oren Hatch was.
And at least Oren Hatch started out as a staunch conservative.
I mean, he was Mike Lee for a while.
And I mean, not quite as good, but he was Mike Lee for a while and then just went to hell in a handbasket.
And it was the system that corrupted, and the system is corrupting
a lot of the GOP all around around the country.
I was, you know, I kind of, I guess maybe this is a theme, Pat.
We were talking earlier.
As a human being, I feel bad for Ted Wheeler.
Intellectually, I don't really feel bad for Ted Wheeler.
No, he brought this on himself.
I mean, he condoned it for a year.
And now all of a sudden, you've had enough.
Oh, okay.
Well, it's kind of late in the game for that.
Yeah.
And I kind of feel the same way about Mitt Romney.
You know what I mean?
Yep.
I kind of, you know, he brought this on himself.
And
intellectually, I have no sympathy, but as a compassionate human being,
that was a tough one.
I wonder if Mike Lee wondered what his ovation would be.
Yeah, I'm sure he had some trepidation, but
he wouldn't want to.
Could you imagine being the next speaker that is,
you know, it's kind of, in some ways, it couldn't get worse than that.
But in other ways, you have no idea what's coming.
Thanks, Pat.

Deborah writes in about her experience with rough greens.
She said, I recently adopt an older German shepherd named Ava.
I added rough greens to her diet about 10 days ago.
I believe it's already helping with her digestion.
Oh my gosh.
German shepherds have the weirdest digestive system.
You know, if they go out and they run and play for like after 30 minutes of eating, their stomach can flip over, tie in a knot, and they can be dead within hours.
These talks are.
It's not easy being a German Shepherd.
It's not, and Ava knows it.
Well, she says, Ava loves the taste.
She's always anxious to eat, licks the bowl clean.
Her energy is improving, and she's adapting well to her new home.
I will make rough greens a regular addition to her meals.
Thank you, Rough Greens, from both me and Ava.
All right, here's the thing.
Rough greens, not a dog food.
It's a supplement you put on your dog food, and they do lick the bowl clean.
You can get a free bag of rough greens right now just for your dog to try out.
Make sure that your dog likes eating it.
All you do is pay for the shipping.
You go to roughgreens.com/slash Beck or call 833-Glenn33.

The Glenn Beck Program.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
It's Monday.
You know, we were talking a minute ago about Mitt Romney
being,
you know, a centrist, a moderate.
And people like Mike Lee and the people who believe in the Constitution, they're radicals.
They just, they just, they want to torch the system.
No, they don't.
If the system is corrupt, yes, we should.
If the system is based on the Constitution and following the Constitutional guidelines, we don't want that torched.
That's anarchy.
We want the Constitution, and we want the people
to actually have their voice heard in fair elections, and we want the voice of the people to be ruled through our representatives.
We don't want our representatives to go to Washington and be bought out by lobbyists or by the pressure of the party.
Now, let me ask you, the reason why the Democrats
won
is, well, several reasons, but one of them is everybody thought that Joe Biden was a moderate.
Can we stop thinking that Joe Biden is a moderate?
We told you he wouldn't be a moderate.
We told you he was one of the most liberal senators in Congress.
He was not a moderate.
He's not a centerist.
He has dropped the radical pose and he is posing as a moderate.
Let me go over this.
There's a great story from Byron York
in his daily memo.
And he asked the question, if Biden is a centrist, why do leftists love him so much now?
The guy who started the daily costs, Okay, and net roots
the organization, this guy,
when Joe Biden was running, he tore him apart.
He was for Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders, anybody on the far left.
And he said, you know, this guy did the crime bill.
This guy is a nightmare.
He's not going to do anything.
He's going to take us back to the Obama years.
That's what he says.
And that's not enough.
Well, now he's happily admitting that he was wrong about Biden.
After 100 days in office, can anyone argue that Biden's agenda would look that different from Warren's or even Bernie's?
A man with the entire career of state institutionalist centrism is now forging the most progressive presidency since FDR.
Listen to the audio from AOC this weekend.
One thing that I will say is that I do think that
the Biden administration and President Biden has definitely exceeded expectations that progressives had.
You know, I'll be frank, I think a lot of us expected a much more conservative administration.
And I think that his,
not only what has ultimately come out, but the active invitation and willingness and collaboration with progressives in his first hundred days or almost 100 days has been very impressive.
Wow.
So, uh,
when are our neighbors going to wake up that they've actually elected Bernie Sanders and not some moderate?
I have a feeling soon with inflation the way it's going, I'll explain later.
In a world that's lost its way, lost respect for logic, law, and order, who can you count on?
Well, AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens, now over 2 million members strong and growing, AMAC believes in the values that we constitutional conservatives care about.
AMAC represents courage, faith, and reason in these trying times.

Okay, tax season is scary enough, but the IRS is issuing warnings now to watch out for ghost tax preparers.
I mean, Patrick Swayze is doing taxes now.
I don't know.
These preparers don't sign as the paid tax preparer on your tax return.
And that could be a red flag that you might become a victim of a scam or a refund fraud.
It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft is affecting your life.
Every day we put our information out there.
And with the IRS and the tax day,
it's something that
we're dealing with now.
We've put all of our information out online, out in the mail,
and it's easy, really easy to grab some of that information and then piece it together on the dark web and they have everything they need.
Nobody can prevent all of this crap.
But there's one company, LifeLock, that has been in the business.
I think they started this category back in the 1990s of protecting people's identity.
And I remember seeing it going, who wants my social security card?
Here's my social security card number.
What are you going to do with it?
Wow, have things changed.

Okay.
I just want to read this story to you and show you the power of one.
The power of one parent getting involved and calling another parent
and another parent calling another parent and that parent calling another parent.
It is the power of one.
All of a sudden, you have a tidal wave on your hands.
This happened this weekend in South Lake, Texas.
It's a small little town, conservative town,
and affluent.
The test scores show there is, and this is almost unheard of, if not unheard of entirely,
in America or any nation, where blacks and whites perform equally as well on all of their final tests.
That doesn't happen.
Well.
They wanted to transform
the school and make the school have more diversity.
Now, listen to the way this is written.
Supporters of local candidates who oppose a school diversity plan rallied in South Lake Texas over the weekend.
Nine months after officials in the affluent Carroll Independent School District introduced a proposal to combat racial and cultural intolerance in schools.
Voters delivered a resounding victory on Saturday.
Okay, so what was it?
I mean, because it sounds nice, right?
They just, well, all they want is just a peaceful school, one that, you know, isn't racist and, you know, admires cultural differences.
No, that's not exactly what they wanted.
In fact, the school board put a presentation
into play
for a teacher's retreat.
They were given a preview of the kind of instruction they would be expected to oversee and carry out in a cultural competency regime.
In the slides presented in this retreat, this is what caused the havoc in Southlake.
Teachers and administrators who choose to treat students, parents, and colleagues equally, regardless of their skin color or ethnicity, were accused of cultural blindness,
a state in which differences are ignored and one proceeds as if differences don't exist.
White privilege is being able to navigate daily life in the American culture without having to think about race.
The administrators were encouraged to construct a white identity, discussing what does it mean to you to be white and whiteness, as well as naming some characteristics of white culture.
Then they went into white fragility.
The presentation then went in against stereotyping, which says happens when you generalize about a person while ignoring the presence of individual differences.
This is how bad it has to get before most white people notice: burning crosses, swastikas, clan, the n-word.
Well, needless to say, the teachers went back and they were like, ah, I don't agree with this.
Now, this is in Texas, so a few teachers did object.
Are those teachers in your school district?
Because I can guarantee you
this is happening in your school.
I guarantee you.
So there's all of this stuff
about systematic racist
and racism and how you can't look at people all the same and treat them the same.
It's treating people the same and looking at them no differently that has led to the good test scores, I believe, in South Lake.
One of the best schools and school systems in the country.
So, what happened over the weekend?
In an unusually bitter campaign that echoed a growing national divide over how to address issues of race, gender, and sexuality in schools, candidates in the city of South Lake were split between two camps.
Those who supported new diversity and
inclusion training requirements for Carroll students and teachers, and those backed by political action committees that were formed last year to defeat the plan.
Holy cow.
This paper is out of touch, right?
Oh, it's NBC News, the local NBC.
Candidates and voters on both sides described the election as a fork in the road for
Southlake, a wealthy suburb 30 miles northwest of Dallas.
So goes Southlake, a local conservative commentator warned in the weeks leading up to the election.
So goes the rest of America.
In the end, the contest was not close.
Candidates backed by the conservative family PAC, which has raised more than $200,000 since last summer.
Notice, all of a sudden it's about money and an evil pack.
Those people did really well.
In fact, Randy Robbins received
70.4% of the vote.
His opponent, Sabrina Hakame, received 29% of the vote.
In the city council, place five election, Amy Torres-Lep
had 70% of the vote.
Her opponent had 30.
In the CISD school board race number four, Cameron Cambryant received almost 70% of the vote.
His opponent, 31% of the vote.
In the school board place number five, Hannah Smith received almost 70% of the vote.
Her opponent, Ed Hernandez, 30% of the vote.
Now, here's what's interesting: Hannah Smith, she's a radical.
I don't know if you know this, Stu.
You pay attention to South Lake politics, I'm not sure, but Hannah Smith, oh, she's a radical.
She's a South Lake lawyer who clerked for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
There's a bad recipe for you.
Yeah, there's a really bad.
She won against Ed Hernandez, a business consultant.
She's now on the school board.
Oh, my gosh, I might transfer my kids to,
I might move to Southlake so I can get my kids into that.
Can you imagine having her on the school board?
That's fantastic.
The reason why I want to bring this up is because the parents all stood together.
They stood up.
They were against the press.
They were called names.
Smith has received all kinds of threats.
I mean, it's been really, really bad.
But they won.
And 70% came out against because once you explain what they're teaching,
nobody is for that.
And this, I can guarantee you, this or forms of this are happening in your school right now because this is a national movement.
And it must be taken out of your school or your kids have absolutely no chance of survival.
Yeah, the best thing that happened in this situation, too, was all the national media attention.
I mean, once people recognized what was going on there, it was easy to defeat, but it needs to be called out.
You know, like Demi Lovato, the singer, we brought this up a couple of weeks ago, seemed to have like some she went to high school in Texas and seemed to have some sort of high school rivalry with this town.
And so posted the videos of these parents just like saying, like, I kind of don't want my kids to like think about skin color all the time.
You know, like these sort of really rational requests from the parents, but they were all edited to kind of make them look like they were racists.
And she tweeted it out to her multiple millions of followers, and it became kind of this big story, and all this back and forth went on.
And
that guaranteed
the defeat of critical race theory in this town.
Yeah.
Well, that, and honestly, the school board members that voted illegally
against the parents' wishes.
They did not have a hearing on critical race theory because they knew how it would go.
So they voted privately in secret to put it all in.
Yeah.
And once that was found out, I mean, two of them went to jail.
It all goes back to this ridiculous several years ago, there was a video of a couple of students who were singing along with a rap song and said, said the words in the rap song instead of, I guess, you know, because the n-word doesn't rhyme with the word it was rhyming with.
So apparently they, and I don't know the whole history, they may have been terrible videos.
I don't know.
But like a couple of students doing something dumb and the town felt like, oh, well, our reputation is on the line.
We need to take steps to show that we're aligned with Ibram Kendi for some reason.
So, you know, this sort of stuff goes on around the country.
And if it doesn't get pop stars tweeting about it and NBC News writing giant articles trashing the town as racist, if those things don't happen, all this stuff just slides by parents because, you know, they don't, they do it behind closed doors.
And unless a lot of attention gets, you know,
put on it, they don't know.
I really would like to talk to the candidate running for the Beaverton School Board in Portland, Oregon.
She is standing up against critical race theory and comprehensive sexuality education.
It might not go the same way as it did in Texas.
It'll be fascinating.
to watch.
Her name is Jeanette Schadd or Shadd A-S-C-H-A-D-E Shad.
And she is running by herself.
You know, the school district says they're just doing culturally relevant teaching.
Uh-huh.
CRT, critical race theory.
Critical race theory, culturally relevant teaching.
Oh, no.
So if you call and say, are you doing CRT?
Yes.
Yes, we are.
But
ours is culturally relevant teaching.
Oh my gosh.
These schools are just getting completely out of control.
Completely out of control.
But what happened there shows you as a a parent need to get involved and speak up on your schools.
But there's more good news.
Pushback has actually changed in a dramatic way
Coca-Cola's stance.

10 seconds station ID.
Hmm.
Okay,
we've been talking to you for a while about Coca-Cola and other other corporations and
how they're creeping into being
social justice warriors.
March of this year.
No, sorry, March of last year, 2020, the company blasted U.S.
soccer for making legal arguments in the equal pay lawsuit filed by the women's team.
The lawsuit the women filed lost in court.
June 2020, Coca-Cola announced it was suspending advertising on Facebook and
Instagram, joining a coalition of left-wing advocacy groups as part of a campaign forcing the social media network to stringently police hate speech and disinformation.
The boycott openly directed at Facebook's refusal at the time to censor the post of Donald Trump.
Then they issued Where We Stand on Social Justice, a manifesto.
We must put our resources and energy towards helping end the cycle of systematic racism, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So they didn't care about systematic racism in China.
They opposed a bill that would ban products made with forced labor in the province where all of the concentration camps are.
They didn't worry about that.
And then the diversity training, where the leaked slides from Coca-Cola said they needed to be less white, try to be less white.
Then
they added this.
Coca-Cola's new general counsel, Bradley Gayton, announced a new set of diversity guidelines for outside counsel.
Under the guidelines, outside counsel will commit that for any new matter, at least 30% of each billed associate and partner
the time will be from a diverse attorney, such as amounts that at least half will be from black attorneys.
Outside counsel, if they fail to meet this commitment over two quarters, it will incur a non-refundable 30% reduction in the fees fees payable for such new matters going forward until the commitment is met.
Okay.
Okay.
So I love this coming from my soft drink company,
especially then when they got involved in Georgia and the elections.
And people started to,
you know, speak up, stop drinking.
An influential Atlanta pastor used a bullhorn on the street street to call for a boycott of Coca-Cola.
Rand Paul
and Donald Trump called for boycotts.
Ted Cruz, I wonder who's the largest institutional purchaser of Coca-Cola.
Do they agree with the woke Coke radical politics?
All right.
Here's what happened.
They have decided on April 10th,
they met
along with all these other CEOs about the sanctions in Georgia, and we talked about it.
And they ended up issuing a vaguely worded statement about voting rights that didn't even mention Georgia.
And then Coca-Cola, along with Delta Airlines, conspicuously absent from the list of signatories.
Hmm.
Then they said,
We believe the best way to make progress now is for everyone to come together and listen respectfully, share concerns, and collaborate on a path forward.
We remain open and productive conversations with advocacy groups and lawmakers who may have differing views.
It's time to find common ground.
In the end, we all want the same thing, free and fair elections, the cornerstone of our democracy.
What happened?
What happened?
How did they go from try to be less white to, hey,
we believe diversity intellectually is happening, and that's where we want to focus.
How did that happen?
Well, let me tell you one other thing that happened at Coca-Cola.
Gayton, the general counsel, the guy who issued that whole thing about, you know, has to be 30% done by black lawyers, etc., etc.,
he left.
He left.
Now, he was only there for eight months.
Huh.
And he took a $4 million sign-on payment and a monthly consulting fee of, listen to this number, $666,666
to transition to the strategic consultant role.
That seems like a way of getting rid of an attorney you no longer want to have.
The
Monica Howard Douglas is the one that is now replacing.
She's a veteran of Coca-Cola's legal department.
She hasn't said anything about his resignation, but she told the company's legal department that his departure meant a pause on the controversial diversity initiatives.
Again,
why is Coca-Cola taking a pause?
on all of these
because you have been standing up You and others have been standing up.
Your voice, it's the power of one.
Your voice makes a difference.
By the way, did you see how Base Camp?
Base Camp is a software company and they decided that
they don't want any political discussions because we're tired of this political thing going on and we're not a political company.
So shut up out, shut up about activism and all of this crap.
Just work on software.
This was genius.
A third of their employees walked out.
They didn't have to fire, fight in court, or pay any severance.
These people all walked out.
And Basecamp has their company back.
Congratulations, Basecamp.

This is the Glenn Beck program.
On the podcast this last weekend, I had Bob Woodson, and he is a remarkable guy, a guy who went with Martin Luther King, you know, in the civil rights journey and was put into jail several times wrongly just to get him to shut up and sit down.
He's an amazing guy.
It did not turn into hate for him.
It turned into passion, but he never lost the understanding of America.
And he started the American Enterprise Institute, and now he is, you know, the founder of the 1776 project and the Bob Woodson Center.
This guy is an American legend.
He is really a fantastic guy and is in the actual communities.
You probably may not have ever heard of him because he's not always looking for a microphone.
He's busy doing his work.
However, he has started something called 1776unites.com.
And I urge you to go download this right now.
It is a movement to liberate tens of millions of Americans.
It's what we should be teaching our children about the black experience.
This whole curriculum written by blacks
under Bob Woodson's tutelage.
And it is some of the biggest scholars.
from the black community writing what it means to be American, to be an American.
It also is the history of blacks you've never heard of, and their stories are fantastic.
It is something that should be taught in schools.
He started it because he wanted to refute the 1619 project, and it does just that.
It's 1776 Unites.
And is that dot com?
Yeah, I think it is.com.
1776unites.com.
Kind of a controversial figure now,
which you wouldn't think he would be anymore, but he was.
Now,
the reason why I bring this up is because
we have to unite as a people.
We as conservatives need to get involved.
There was a local election happening here, and I'm very concerned about our school.
And I'm meeting with one of the new school board members today, my wife and I, one that was just voted in.
We want to be involved in making sure that our schools are teaching the right things.
And we all have to be involved in this.
Now,
let me tell you what another town has done, not for schools, but
for the unborn.
Lubbock, Texas, has become the largest sanctuary city for the unborn.
Representative, the state rep Dustin Burroughs said after the vote on Saturday, Saturday, today is a victory for life and proof.
The silent majority will stand up for its Christian conservative values.
The town of Lubbock voted 62% in favor of Proposition A, which prohibits abortions without any exceptions, in the town of Lubbock.
38% of the voters opposed it.
It's the largest city in Texas to pass such a measure.
Has your town done that?
These towns are starting to come together, and the towns are realizing if if we don't focus locally, we're toast
and we have to do that.
I'm watching another story because the town of Chattanooga,
the offensive line coach Chris Malone is suing his former
employer, claiming he was wrongly forced to resign for a tweet that criticized a politician.
This is UTC, and the
attorney for this coach, Jug Churter, said they're going to get acquainted with the First Amendment.
As a public school, it can't control what an employee says at social gatherings or on social media.
It certainly can't fire them for criticizing and mocking a politician.
I mean, that's one of the things that we are afforded in the Constitution.
We are allowed to mock people.
And the left mocks people and ridicules.
and not only that they actually denigrate people
this is what this coach tweeted I don't know if you read this dude but
congratulations to the state of Georgia and Fat Albert
at Stacey Abrams.
He seems to be saying something about specific about Stacey Abrams and her appearance.
He's calling her Fat Albert, yeah.
That's what he's calling her.
Because you have truly shown America the true works of cheating in an election.
Again, enjoy the buffet, big girl.
You earned it.
Hope the money is good.
Oh, still not governor.
That's what he tweeted on the night of the Georgia election.
He was fired within 48 hours.
And he now says.
Calling a politician a liar and calling them cheaters is a proud American tradition.
He's like,
why are we not allowed to say something about her?
And on our own private social media.
He's been at this school, by the way, for 20 years,
and now he's known as a racist because he called her Fat Albert.
I think he's actually kind of more, I mean, I don't know about a racist.
I don't know the guy.
Don't think he is.
But I mean, calling her Fat Albert is kind of funny.
is kind of funny.
Although the gender is wrong.
Well, who are you to gender, Stacey Abrams?
You're right.
I don't know what she is.
G gets to decide what g is.
Thank you very much, Steve.
I hope you are.
Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
By the way, another reason to be proud:
SpaceX,
the crew has returned to Earth.
Do we have the splashdown
video and audio here that we could play?
It's there, it is.
There's the splashdown of SpaceX, a private company
going out in space.
Okay, so now a private company has done this, but let me show you what the government of China has done.
Please, wait, what's about to fall from space?
A bit of bad news for you, some bad outer space news.
It's kind of important.
This week, China launched a rocket for its space station, and that went great.
The rocket is successfully in orbit, but the launcher, which is the size of a 10-story building, accidentally also went into orbit and is descending back to Earth.
And no one knows where it's going to crash or what it's going to crash into.
Yeah.
Well, that's not quite true.
So this is the thing.
It was supposed to go up.
It's a booster.
And like he said,
size of a 10-story building.
It was supposed to go up into space, but they miscalculated a little bit.
So it is technically in space, in lower Earth orbit, but it's decaying now.
And they didn't get it up far enough.
So it's going to come back to Earth soon.
And rest assured, the Chinese are all over it.
They say we can't predict when and we can't predict where it's going to hit, but we can rule a few places out.
We believe it won't hit any place north of New York
and any place
more southern than New Zealand.
So, no Antarctica.
So,
no Antarctica.
Ruled out.
No Alaska, no Canada.
Of course, their calculations were wrong in the first place.
Hadn't exactly been a banner year for Chinese science, I would say.
No.
There's been a couple of issues people may have noticed that have cropped up from China over the past
year.
Yeah, if you follow, you have to follow some of the scientific journals that I follow.
I know that this is a science-based show.
Well, we're known for science on this program, many awards, I being a doctor.
Yeah.
Of course.
And we did a, if you missed it, a 47-part series last year on the inner workings of Chinese science, won multiple awards.
Some people may have missed that series and don't know.
That's unfortunate, but had kind of a crap heap year when it comes to their scientists.
Kind of don't want to listen to them about anything right now.
Yeah, I know.
You know, I think the 10-story building that's going to be coming down to earth in flames
that could just you know land on a neighborhood
you know might not be the best pr thing for the uh chinese space agency i guarantee it will kill a lot less people than the last mistake they made
that one i'm pretty sure of well
I mean, unless it hits New York.
Remember, it says
no one north of New York.
So that includes New York.
10-story building falling from space.
How many blocks?
This is serious.
How many blocks could that take out?
That thing coming at an angle, imagine it's coming down like, you know, Broadway.
It would take
how many?
What kind of destruction would it do?
And would Biden even say anything?
It would be really interesting to be completely ignored.
You know what?
You know what?
Now I'm really pissed.
Now I'm really pissed.
I am going to tell Hunter Hunter that he should eventually get out of that Chinese
space firm thing that he's doing, that I have no idea what he's even doing.
Do you know it's 100 days in?
He promised he would get rid of all of his shares in China?
Still hasn't done it.
Stunning.
I'm stunned.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
I can't wait for that.
It's not really a real thing.
Can't wait for the coming headlines of
Republicans pounce on Joe Biden not commenting on half of New York City being wiped out by a Chinese building falling from space.
You know what?
Here's what I say we do.
Here's what I say we do.
If they drop that building or that rocket on us,
we send
Stacey Abrams up.
And as she's coming back, it's not a 10-story building, but imagine the impact
of Stacey Abrams traveling at that velocity.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
Hey, no big deal, but everybody's following science.
Well, not the teachers' unions.
No, the American Federation of Teachers, they're lobbying the scientists at the CDC.
You know,
but no big deal.
I mean, they have your children's best interest at heart.
The teachers' unions had a full court press
on the CDC
just before the CDC,
you know, put the brakes on a full reopening of in-person classrooms.
This, according to emails that have now been obtained through FOIA Freedom of Information request by a conservative watchdog group, Public Trust, Americans for Public Trust, apparently it shows that the CDC director, Dr.
Rochelle Walinski, and her top advisors and union officials with Biden also looped in there in the White House.
In
the days before the ruling and the announcement on school reopening guidelines,
the CDC and the White House got together with the Teachers Union.
And
again, they said, thank you again, this is the Teachers' Union, for Friday's rich discussion about the forthcoming CDC guidance and for your openness to the suggestions made by our President, Randy Weingarten, and the American Federation of Teachers.
It is great that we are looked at as the CDC's thought partner.
Oh.
Oh, now, see, I like that.
I like that.
I like the teachers' union telling the scientists what they should do as a
thought partner.
Now, I don't know any conservative group that has been asked to share their opinion as a thought partner.
Do you, Stu?
I do not.
I do not.
I will say, whenever there's anyone who's even put gas in their car and is associated with a scientist, they say big oil is influencing the scientists and we can't let that happen.
Well, here.
We don't want them as thought partners.
Right.
No, they don't.
Right.
But here, this is completely okay and has no bad influence whatsoever.
Because it's about the children, Stu.
It's about the children.
You know, and I know.
The teachers' unions, they're all about the children.
Oh, my gosh.
That's all they care about.
Have it any other way.
You know, occasionally, Glenn, I just wish they'd think of themselves.
You know, take a moment and think of yourself.
Thank you for that.
A little bit of time, you know?
That's what's needed here, you know?
I mean, because
we'd hate for the teachers to start killing themselves as fast as our children are killing themselves.
you know, that'd be a tragedy.
Because they don't, you know, and again, this is certainly not all teachers, but there's certain elements of the teachers' union that don't seem to ever want to work again.
Like, they just, you know, we've noticed there's an illness in the school at some point in the future.
Therefore, we don't just keep paying us, and what we'll do is we'll sit at home.
And I don't,
it's not a union of teachers, that's a union of people not working.
You know what?
I don't understand that.
You know what I long for?
You might have been too young.
Do you remember when Ronald Reagan came in and the
union for the air traffic controllers went on strike?
Oh, I know that.
And he said, yeah, he said, you're all going to be there on Monday, or I'm firing every single one of you.
So you decide.
And he did.
Wouldn't you love it?
Won't be this, President.
Wouldn't you love it for somebody to say,
teachers unions, yeah, we're going to fire every single one of you and hire new teachers if you don't commit by next week that you are going to be there as we reopen schools.
We're firing you.
I think every school board in America should move in that direction.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Hello, America.
I want to talk to you about what's really going on in our country, no matter what the experts tell you, what's really happening in the economy and what is coming.
They will tell you that inflation is not a problem.
It hasn't arrived.
There's no inflation.
Have you been to Costco lately?
Have you tried to buy really pretty much anything?
Are you paying attention at the gas station?
I'm going to tell you what's really going,
what's really happening, and what is really coming our way even this summer.
We begin with your swimming pool and your
paper towels in 60 seconds.
The Glen Beck Program.
So one of the things that
you think of when you think of summer is outside cooking and barbecuing.
There is a RECTEC with your name on it.
They are phenomenal.
This will grill, this will smoke, it will bake even.
And I haven't burned a thing.
I mean, that's darn near impossible for me.
I'm good.
I'm a good cook in the kitchen.
I'm horrible on the grill.
And especially with meats,
they just always catch on fire, and then it's over.
It started out as a good piece of meat.
Now
it's looked like it was been in a car wreck really bad.
Anyway, RekTech.
will take care of that problem.
It has sensors in it.
It is smart technology.
You can control it from your phone.
I haven't wrecked a single piece of meat.
In fact, they come out delicious and perfect every time.
There is no grill like a RekTech.
You can go and find the best grill out there on the market, look at the price, look at what it does, see how it's built, and then compare it to a RekTech.
Nothing even comes close.
It's RekTech, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com.
That's RekTech, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com.
So you're seeing two different things now when you go to the gas station or you go to the grocery store.
When you go to the gas station, you're starting to see inflation.
When you go to the grocery store, many times, if you're paying the same price for a product, you may be paying shrinkflation.
Shrinkflation is not something that we talk about except usually with snack foods and potato chips where you open up the you open up the package and it's the same package and it's filled with air and there are like four chips in it and you're like wait what what happened here
it is the significant price increase on a per unit basis how do we how do we
how do we offer that
when every all of the raw materials are going up?
Well,
you just repackage in the same package, but you shrink it somehow or another.
Well, this is what's just happened at Costco.
This according to
the bear trap, they say that the paper towels, the Costco paper towels, you're spending the same amount of money, but the roll has 20 fewer sheets, which may not seem like a lot, but they're only 160 sheets in a roll.
So now you've gone from 160 sheets to 140 for the same price that's the equivalent of 14.3 percent inflation
but nobody's going to say anything about it because it's shrinkflation
when 30 percent of all of the groceries that are purchased in the u.s are generics
that's a pretty big deal 30 percent now are generics the retail price if it goes up by five percent and the size of the package or the product drops by 10%,
you have 15% inflation, not 5.
And that's not, nobody's talking about that.
Oh, you know, maybe we have 4.8%
inflation.
Really?
Okay.
Now, has anybody shrinked the size of the food that you've just received or the product that you've just received?
Because we have to add that up.
Remember, whatever it is reduced by 10% less less product plus
4.8% inflation or whatever it is, if it goes up in price, that's what you have.
If it stays like the Costco towels, they went down by 20 sheets.
So now you have 10% inflation.
This is going to hit us everywhere.
And people are going to celebrate the labor.
They're going to say, oh, yeah, but look, because I can guarantee you, you're going to hear shortly, shortly, the White House is going to say, we've created these good, high-paying jobs.
Well, these high-paying jobs were not high-paying jobs before COVID.
They are high-paying jobs now because the government is paying people to stay home.
And so as they stay home, these restaurants and all of these ma- and pas stores, they cannot hire anybody.
They have to keep raising the wage and raising the wage and raising the wage, which will be passed on to you as a consumer in inflation of the prices of whatever that store sells or whatever that company makes.
So we're killing ourselves by saying, oh, look,
I have a higher wage.
Yes, and because of that higher wage, we all are going to have higher inflation.
So whatever you made in your wage is going to be gone anyway because of the price of food and literally everything else.
Warren Buffett was talking about this this weekend.
He said, and I quote, we are seeing substantial inflation.
Why are we seeing substantial inflation?
He says it's because people have money in their pocket.
Well, why do they have money in their pocket?
Most people
haven't even worked for a year.
How do they have money in their pocket?
They have money in their pocket because the government has paid them,
in some cases, more
than what they were earning in the first place.
Everything is surging, and
you don't realize the impact.
So when
China decides to build the biggest dam in in the world, the price of concrete goes up
because we're running out of sand
and China is using a ton of concrete, much more than we are or anybody else.
So when somebody says I have an infrastructure project, for instance, we're going to renew the electricity grid,
What does that drive prices up to?
For you,
for one thing, copper.
All of the electrical grid is dependent on copper.
So if you're trying to wire a house, good luck with that because the government is now going to be the biggest buyer of copper, which will drive the price through the roof.
That's why copper is up 90%
in the last year.
And they say with the Joe Biden thing, the price will double from there.
That's also because, not just because of the electricity grid, but also because of electric vehicles and solar panels, everything, including the copper, will balloon.
So what does that mean to you?
It means everything that you buy is going to be more expensive.
Here's another thing.
Meat.
Have you tried to buy any meat lately?
This is because there was a deadly pig disease that hit Germany and China, and it's roaring back in China.
Also,
crop prices surged.
And so farmers that had poultry, pigs, cattle, any of it, they're the first ones to get pinched.
And some of them, they can't afford the high price of feed.
And so what do they do?
They either sell the cows for slaughter or slaughter them themselves.
Cost for corn fed,
corn feed for livestock doubled.
Soybean meal, 40% higher.
Can you feed your family on food that has doubled in price, especially if you're living close to the line?
So, how are we expecting our farmers to do this?
Coffee is up 33 percent.
Sugar is also up.
You like toast in the morning?
Wheat prices have hit the highest they've been since 2013.
Everything is going up, and
it's causing something called the COBR Effect.
And we are now in the early stages of the biggest COR effect in the history of economics.
This is pretty remarkable.
There has been $15 trillion
globally
put into
finance.
$15 trillion.
And that was to save the economy and save a deflationary period where cost of everything goes through the floor.
So they put $15 trillion globally in.
That is, I think, a low number because if these two other stimulus packages passed that Joe Biden was talking about last week, the United States and the Fed will have put in $19 trillion in the last year themselves.
So what the Cobra effect is, is when
something in price
is pretty steady and then all of a sudden it just spikes up like a Cobra and it's in trouble.
bringing its head straight up.
We're seeing a Cobra effect, a lot of them, in a lot of different things.
The price of Ethereum after Elon Musk tweets, the U.S.
unemployment after the government lockdowns, a spike in the search on Google for the word inflation.
That's a Cobra spike.
Now, what they're looking at is the price of corn and copper and aluminum and cobalt year over year, more than 100%.
Construction for lumber, seen a spike of 320%
year over year.
Used cars are now up 55%.
And they are now starting to show up in things that you have to buy.
Groceries, especially meats, pork, chicken, and beef.
Gasoline.
Technically, we're already in a Cobra effect,
but it's regional.
Electronics, phones, personal computers, anything with a computer chip.
I got news for you, gang.
That's everything.
Travel costs, airfare, rental cars, hotels, all of it.
So why is this happening?
Again,
Uncle Sam.
Trillions of dollars have been pushed into the economy, and now that we're reopening, the flood of spending of travel of buying with all of that cash is going to accelerate
and goods and services that you rely on are gonna stand up just like the head of a cobra they're gonna go through the roof
you haven't seen anything yet because you're not spending yet not on the consumer level Spending is slower than
it should be with all of this cash.
People People are hanging on to their cash.
But the minute that money starts to move,
you know, $19 trillion
is going to come into the economy.
$5 trillion, even if $5 trillion comes into the economy, that's a problem.
Now, there are problems that we're also seeing
from
Bank of America.
They said we're headed for another 2008 style problem
with derivatives.
Do you remember those derivatives?
Yeah,
everybody made bets on derivatives and it was really stupid and we all agreed that it was stupid, but nobody had to pay a price because we bailed all the banks out.
And so they learned, oh, well, if we make a mistake or we cause a problem, we're too big to fail.
Well, let's go buy more derivatives and sell derivatives.
Oh, they have.
And Bank of America just reported,
we might be headed towards trouble.
Oh, really?
Oh, well, Barney Frank told us we wouldn't have any trouble.
I'll give you more on this coming up in just a second.
Stand by.
First.
Stop saying inflation is on the way.
It is here.
It is here.
So now what are you going to do about it?
Well, the best time-tested way to protect against inflation is by backing your portfolio with precious metals.
Goldline is who you want to talk about.
Goldline.
It's really an easy process.
Goldline makes it easier than ever to get started today.
Find out how to use
funds from a qualified retirement account to protect your portfolio with physical precious metals.
It is not a good idea to have precious metals
on paper.
It's just that's a stupid idea.
Make sure it's physical gold or silver.
Due to overwhelming popularity, Goldline is extending its 6% free metals promotion bonus for self-directed IRA acquisitions this week.

10 seconds station ID.
I don't.
Somebody opened my door, so don't know.
Nobody's here.
All right.
Some stories that we are following for you.
Mortgage-backed securities.
Do you remember remember those still
yeah that was kind of a big story i remember about uh 12 13 years ago yeah well we fixed it oh good
yeah we fixed it and don't worry about bank of america um
they said on their earnings call last week they said 22 percent of u.s mortgages that they are holding is there are in in some sort of forbearance meaning uh we're screwed we have to rewrite all of these loans because people are too far behind, so we either have to foreclose on them or we have to rewrite the loans.
22%
of everybody's mortgage held by Bank of America.
This is what comes from people not being able to lose their house and be evicted from their house.
Okay, good.
But what does that mean to the banks?
We've been asking that.
It doesn't just stop there, it goes all the way up the chain.
Now,
the number is probably higher because Bank of America is perceived at least of making more safe loans than other lenders who cater to lower credit qualities.
So maybe as much as 30 to 35 percent of mortgages are in default
without forbearance in place.
Also,
the bailout of the Federal Reserve is now being talked about.
A bailout of the Federal Reserve.
There's a new requirement, U.S.
pensions to be insured by Uncle Sam, are required to carry 33% balance of U.S.
government bonds by January 30th, 2022.
So now what does that mean?
That means no one is buying our bonds.
So the labor unions have agreed to have their pensions guaranteed by the federal government, but they have to buy U.S.
Treasury bonds.
33% of all of the union's pension funds have to be in U.S.
Treasuries.
Everyone's going to get screwed on that one.
So now this doesn't bail out the United States.
This takes about $9 trillion
off of the Fed's sheets.
You know, everybody's like,
we're just printing our own money, and the Fed's just making up debt.
No, no, no, they had a plan the whole time.
They're not going to hold the debt.
What do you think?
The banks are going to hold that debt?
And remember, that's who the Fed is.
No, of course not.
On the money merry-go-round,
you just have the Fed
just
sell it to the pensions.
That's it.
Labor unions take it.
Oh, that's
that's fantastic.
By the way, in 2008, the FDIC, the insured banks, had a total of $878 billion in derivatives exposure.
$878 billion.
As of fourth quarter last year, the banks sure learned their lesson.
We're at $4.2 trillion for FDIC insured banks.
That's a 478%
increase.
By the way, the total derivatives market is in the hundreds of trillions of dollars, but we're just talking about the banks that are FDIC insured.
The first thing the banks do is take your money and apply it to their losses.
And as soon as there is a collapse in stock,
they are all in those stocks and they've all bet on derivatives and they've all double-sold them
478%
increase, $4.2 trillion in FDIC banks.
We're going to get into all of these stories later this week, but let me tell you what this means.
This means you get into a bank that is local, that does not have a trading desk, that they're not also trading.
They're just taking in deposits and making loans.
Get into a local bank.
Let me say it again.
Get into a local bank that is not one of these big banks and is not part of Merrill Lynch or JP Morgan or any of those trading houses.
Just go to a local bank.
And I would suggest you do it soon.
Maybe today.
This is the Glenback program.
I don't know if you mowed the lawn this week yet.

I don't know if you're mowing the lawn yet.
That's craziness.

Anyway, Hustler Turf.
There is just nothing better than getting up on a Saturday morning, roll out of bed, and
mowing the lawn.
Oh, wait.
Yeah, there's a lot of things better than that.
Especially if you're spending two hours in the sun.
You can cut that time in half and you can actually make it a pleasure with Hustler Turf.
This is

This is the elite lawnmower.
It's the company that invented the zero-turn lawnmower back in the 50s or 60s.
They've been perfecting it ever since.
These things have been built for the last 30 years to last and cut lawns eight hours a day, every day of the week.
They're going to last.
They'll hold up.
There's nothing like a hustler.

Oh, it was a pleasure, Glenn.
I wanted to see if you wanted to comment on, because I was fascinated by this, the stance taken by Joe Biden about masks and whether you're supposed to be wearing them indoors with other vaccinated people when you're also vaccinated.
So I just want to ask this.
Are we following the science
or are we following something that feels good to some people?
Because
I think that's what Joe Biden is doing now.
He's just deciding what feels good to him, and he's doing it.
And that's what's been condemned by him and so many others for so long.
He seems to basically admit what you're saying here.
Listen to this clip.
This is Joe Biden in a recent interview.
Are you going to be one of these folks now?
We're no longer going to see the President of the United States outside with the mask on?
Sure.
Sure.
I mean, but what I'm going to do, though, because the likelihood of my being able to be outside and people not come up to me is not very, very high.
So it's like, look, you and I took our masks off when I came in because look at the distance we are.
But if we were, in fact, sitting there talking to one another close, I'd have my mask on, and I'm asked you to have a mask on, even though we've both been vaccinated.
And so
it's a small...
precaution to take that has a profound impact.
It's a patriotic responsibility, for God's sake.
It's making sure that your wife, your children, you're,
in fact, they haven't been vaccinated, making sure that they're not going to get sick.
But how?
I can't.
You're both vaccinated.
I mean, I was singing about this at church yesterday.
We were singing.
You had to wear a mask.
When you're singing, you got to wear a mask.
I hate that mask so much, I can't stand it.
And if the church would just say, hey, if everybody gets vaccinated, we can all take the masks off, you know, because there's elderly people there, et cetera, et cetera.
We're still distancing from each other, but still, you know,
in that situation, you don't want to be sitting there shoulder to shoulder when there's people that could be sick.
You know, and I thought, you know, I'd go rush to get the vaccination if
the message was.
Vaccination, everybody, we get up to 80% vaccination, 90%.
Everybody can, everybody, forget the mask thing.
But that's not what they're saying.
They're now saying maybe school will open up in fall.
Maybe.
Right.
Maybe?
I mean, there's absolutely no science whatsoever
in these decisions.
I mean,
if you push them enough, they'll even tell you.
It's about mask culture.
We want to make sure that people see people like the president wearing masks so they know that they should also be wearing masks, which is just an insane thing.
But you're right on the messaging, Glenn.
The messaging is the biggest, is the craziest part about this.
I I was talking to a friend of mine who, you know, is not no big fan of the vaccine and has absolutely no interest in getting it under any circumstances.
And I said, you know, what if the government pitched it to you like this?
If you get the vaccine, you will never hear from Anthony Fauci again.
And she was like, all right, I would get the vaccine.
In that circumstance, I would get it.
Right.
Yes.
Because everyone in Congress had been vaccinated.
Everyone in Congress had been vaccinated.
And you know, they cleaned that thing out before anybody came in.
If Congress would have come in and been full and seated next to each other, and no one was wearing a mask,
and the president said, oh, it is good to be back to normal.
This is because everybody here has been vaccinated.
Guys, get the vaccination.
Let's end this nightmare.
Let's get back to normal.
Everyone would do it.
Or the vast majority of people would do it.
You'd be at herd mentality quickly.
Herd immunity.
You always say herd mentality.
I know, I was.
We're in herd mentality.
Yes, we're definitely there.
I keep saying it.
You know, it's a Freudian because
we're talking about the masks, and that's what it is.
It's herd mentality.
We have achieved herd mentality, just not herd immunity yet.
We have.
But you're right.
That would be a big difference.
And, you know, because the government
has come out and messaged this this particular way.
You know, like Ted Cruz was walking around without a mask and they're like, How dare you, sir?
You're putting us in danger.
He's like, I've already been vaccinated.
This is ridiculous.
The whole point of this is to return us back to normal.
People don't just like getting shots in their arms for fun.
Like, the whole point of this is to return us back to normal.
And now you have a situation where well over 80% of our elderly have already received the vaccine.
Over 80%, not all fully vaccinated yet, but on their way.
And that is a massive step forward.
And we've seen incredible results from it already.
And instead of just embracing this and saying, hey, look, this is a great way to get back to old normal lives.
No,
they can't say that.
They can't.
Yeah.
They have to have the crisis.
And you'd have to ask yourself, why?
What do they need this crisis to do more than it's already done?
You've already passed trillions of dollars of new spending.
Still trillions on the board to pass, though.
They still still need this crisis to get a jobs.
I mean,
if everything's going back to normal, you don't need to spend $5 trillion extra dollars on all these projects, right?
That's why these things even have a chance of passing is because people understand it's been a terrible year and we're trying to bounce back from it.
And I understand that.
But like without that crisis, you don't have the ability to spend the $5 trillion most likely.
And
it's frustrating.
It's really frustrating to watch because instead of just having, saying, look, we've got a good product here.
You know what?
We don't have to force people to take it.
And
let's just be honest with everybody.
If this is a 90% effective product, roll it out there.
Let people take it if they want to take it.
And I think the vast majority of people would.
And that's, you know, we're already past the majority, but still, there's no reason to talk it down.
There's enough people who just don't want to get shots.
People who don't normally go to the doctors for anything.
There's a lot of those people out there.
And yeah, I know there's a lot of people.
Yes, people get a lot of focus on people who are really ideologically against vaccines, and
that's up to them.
But like, you don't need to, you don't need to get those people to do it.
Just get people
who would take it, but don't really, you know, see the value in it because you keep telling them if they get the vaccine, nothing in their life will change.
Well, why the hell would you do it?
Did you like needles?
What is the point of it?
There's no reason to do it.
Unless you're the reason why it's so high with elderly is because
have they have reason to do it.
If they get it, they can die.
So everybody else who isn't in that situation is not elderly.
Why would you do it?
Why would you do it?
Well, I mean, like, I think that, again, I'm, to be clear, super mega, America's most pro-vaccine person.
Like, I, I, I, I, I don't know.
I think it's a very positive.
And I'm not against the vaccine at all.
I just had COVID and I had a bad case of it.
And I'll, you know, I'll watch when everybody else who had COVID starts to get it again.
And then I'll,
because I'm way behind them.
There's about a third of the country, they believe, has had COVID in one way or the other, including myself and you, both COVID-19 survivors.
And, you know, people, they do tend to overlook those with natural immunity.
That's part of this package here, right?
If you had it already, there's a good chance.
I mean, that doesn't mean you shouldn't get the vaccine.
There's still some crossover there, but,
you know, it's certainly a more borderline choice as you go down those roads.
But the bottom line is like, you know, there are a lot of people who
would get it if
the messaging was different.
And it would be nice if they would, if they would do what kind of Israel did.
And Israel was like, look, you know, we're just going to open everything up as soon as we get to this.
Move on.
Yeah.
I mean, and instead of doing that, they've been trying to threaten people.
They've been trying, you know, a big part of this too is the media looking for reasons to criticize the South, Republicans, religious people, the people who may have higher percentages of not going to get the vaccine.
They're just using this as a nice way to criticize people like Donald Trump.
Now, again, Donald Trump got the vaccine.
He got COVID and he got the vaccine, right?
Donald Trump, the guy that, you know, they keep saying is that the head of this anti-vaccine movement, oddly enough, came up with Operation Warp Speed, then got the vaccine the second it was available.
I don't know how the guy could be so anti-vaccine.
Doesn't seem to be to me.
But still, this is just pushed as another way to try to
terrorize people that
the media doesn't like instead of just pitching this as
give people reliable information and they will act
as they deem appropriate.
And that's a much better way of handling this stuff.
The reason why they're going after Donald Trump is because he's just anti-science.
I mean, it's so clear where you have Joe Biden, who is Mr.
Science.
And now, just to back that up,
when the science disagrees with him he's like come on man it's just your patriotic duty yeah i no i thought we were following science not patriotism and and think about follow science they've given joe biden this amazing um amazing credit for this vaccine rollout when as we point out the same guy who trump put in charge is in charge now since biden took it over yes we've seen more people get vaccinated but because that's because the the the supply has increased right I mean, obviously, more people have been vaccinated, but I mean, the rollout has had all sorts of problems.
They had a 15 million dose loss in a Baltimore factory.
They still are
screwing up this whole thing with AstraZeneca doses that they eventually might get to people who need them.
Millions and millions of doses just sitting there
unused.
You have the messaging of this, which has been an utter disaster.
And now you already are at the point where we're seeing declines daily, which, you know, I don't necessarily think is as big a deal as some others do, but still.
And then yet this guy gets all this credit, and Trump gets beat up over it as if he had no plan whatsoever.
And by the way, Donald Trump was heavily involved in every conference, everything with COVID.
Biden and Harris have skipped almost every COVID conference call with the governors.
And the guy leading that now is Andrew Cuomo.
And then you have Joe Biden this weekend saying, we got to stop all travel to India and all travel from India, when a year ago he was calling Donald Trump a racist for doing that with China, China.
Now he's doing it with India.
India needs help, and we're not helping India.
I mean, that's one of our good, strong allies.
Why are we not mobilizing to help the people in India?
I mean,
this compassionate democratic administration is, oh, so compassionate and so subtle about it that I almost miss it every day.
All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
It's American Finance.
No, I'm sorry, it's not.
It is Relief Factor.
I got an email in from Drew.
Drew lives in Texas.
When he was in his 40s, he had an accident that
left him dealing with all kinds of pain in his back and his shoulders.
For months, he said it was just hard to even get around.
And if you knew Drew and knew how Drew rolls,
that's not Drew.
So he heard about Relief Factor a few years ago, decided he would give it a try, see if it would alleviate some of the pain.
By the time he got to the end of his three-week quick start, he was shocked to find out that almost all of his pain was gone.
He's been taking it ever since.
Relief Factor.
He got his life back.
He's living it the way he wants on his terms.
Do the same for you.
Try the three-week quick start.
If it doesn't work for you in three weeks, it's probably not going to work.
70% of the people who try it go on to order more.

You see the CBS.
Now, of course, you didn't.
I was going to say the 60 Minutes last night, Leslie Stahl went in to one of the only chip manufacturers in America that has left
and showed how bad
the chip industry is in trouble.
And there's going to be a massive shortage of chips.
And that is, you know, everything.
I mean, what doesn't have a chip in it besides people?
What doesn't have a chip in it?
And anything that has a chip in it, if it goes wrong or if you're trying to buy a new one, is going to go up because there are
China is building infrastructure using chips.
There's been problems, slowdowns in China.
We don't make them.
And even Ford is saying that
they're not going to be able to.
Stu, when does the American people,
when do they start to say,
ah,
I've never seen this before in America.
I've never seen a 18-week wait for something.
I mean, we've been very tolerant because of COVID, but we're not going back to
a world where things are going to be as easy to get as they have always been.
I mean, if that's true, I don't think the American people have recognized that yet.
People still look at this and say, well, there's COVID.
I I know here in Texas, we had some bad weather over the winter, and so everything is difficult to get your hands on right now.
But if this extends over a long period of time, I don't see how he escapes blame.
Eventually, the American people are going to.
I keep saying these things.
I don't know if I even believe them anymore.
Eventually, the American people are going to see this and say, hey, someone's got to be held accountable for it.
This is not America.
This is not what we're, you know, this is not what this country has been able to produce over all these years.
But it does seem to be that right now they are understanding generally.
They're understanding that, okay,
I wonder if it ever comes back where we're like, wait, wait, what do you mean I have to wait?
I mean, how long before that goes away?
I'm not there because I still give it the break of COVID, but
fundamentals have completely changed.
You know, when you can't build a house,
a new house now is $36,000 more expensive just because of the lumber.
Try this one.
Better get some chlorine for your pool because they're expecting we're going to run out of chlorine this summer.
So you won't be able to put chlorine into your pool.
We're going to run out of chlorine.
What?
Okay, that's because they had a fire last year, and now some of the raw materials that it takes to make the chlorine is in is in shortage Clorox bleach is the same thing they're having a problem they had four quarters of unbelievable growth in their company now they're having shortage problems and they're gonna have to start raising the price of bleach
I mean at one point at what point do people say okay wait a minute all the prices are going up and I have to wait for everything it's it's it's not in the American psyche The only thing we can do now is maybe a couple trillion dollars more to give out.
And then
that would be helpful.
That would be really.
