This

is

the Glenback Program.

Attention!

This is a duct tape alert.

Please fasten duct tape to your head to prevent it from exploding.

This is not a drill.

Yes,

next, your head might explode.

First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

Alan lives in Arkansas.

He has been in pain for over two decades now.

He got injured in his 20s, working as a prison guard and was off work for nearly a year.

His back never recovered afterwards, and the longest time he just lived with it, and it wasn't easy.

Fortunately, Alan has a wife, like my wife.

She got tired of listening to his complaints and convinced him, try Relief Factor.

When it says she convinced him, I'm guessing it went something like this.

Alan, I'm not going to listen to you whine anymore if you don't try everything.

That's the way it happened with my loving wife.

Anyway, all of a sudden, Alan began to realize he was getting up in the morning and he was feeling better and he just kept on feeling better.

Now he says his back feels like it did when he was in his 20s again.

It's a miracle for Alan.

He got his life back using Relief Factor and so could you.

Relief Factor, it's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors and 70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to order more because it works.

Try the three-week quickstart trial pack for only $19.95.

All right, welcome to the program.

So

they have dislodged

the giant cargo ship in the Suez Canal.

And the reason why I put you on duct tape alert is

because

we may be having another toilet paper crisis.

Now,

I mean,

it's been a year.

Why not have another one?

Just for the anniversary, why not?

Why not all go panic and buy a bunch of toilet paper?

They're saying because of the Suez Canal being shut down, we may, the world may experience a toilet paper shortage.

And I have to tell you, there are many things, air conditioning being one of them.

I think air conditioning and toilet paper are my no-go zones.

You know what I mean?

If they say, Glenn, you can't have air conditioning and sorry, no more toilet paper, bad for the environment.

I say let the planet burn.

It's just my line, you know?

Indoor plumbing

is also on that line.

Refrigeration.

Anything refrigerated

that involves any kind of refrigeration, my house,

my actual refrigerator.

Certainly like electricity would fall into this.

Got to have that.

Well, if you could find another way to get the air conditioning running and the lights.

I guess lights are also.

I think a lot of them are.

There's a lot of things on my.

Here's what we're willing to do.

Nothing.

Okay?

We're not going to do anything.

I'm willing to separate my garbage, but not really.

Not really.

I'm going to put them in the same garbage can.

I mean, I'll separate them and then I'll put them in the garbage can.

And then knowing that my city is just going to dump them in the same garbage.

Oh, yeah.

The only actual use for recycling is the extra garbage can.

You have more capacity.

Yes.

That's the only thing.

Yes.

Yes.

And they're usually big, like the big green garbage can.

You can fit a lot of non-recyclables in.

Right.

So it's great.

It's great.

And so we appreciate the environmentalist for that.

Anyway,

they're now saying that toilet paper may be a shortage because of the Suez Canal.

And I'm wondering

I'm wondering,

are those little teeny tugboats that they're using, are those really, is that the best we can do?

I mean, as a planet, is that,

has anybody thought of just taking a big old battleship?

You know, one that we don't even care about, make it like a demolition derby.

And they're like, I'm going to take the battleship, but I'm just going to ram that thing until it comes unlodged.

I mean, is this really the best we can do?

Have you seen the little toot out there?

Like, I can do it.

I can do it.

Can we get bigger boats?

It doesn't seem that intimidating.

It doesn't.

You need to look.

But I mean, I don't think destroying destroying the boat in the middle of the canal would work very well.

Really?

Because that's the way.

I mean,

you know the history of the Suez Canal.

I have zero life.

Zero life.

And something tells me you're about to confirm that.

I am.

The Suez Canal is a fascinating story about how it came.

It actually started because a kid was really, really fat

and his dad wanted him to lose weight and he hired a French guy to help him.

Honest to God, this is how the Suez Canal started.

His dad,

looking at his son, he's like, you are going to die from an early death.

This is in the 1800s, okay, when everybody, when fat was beautiful.

So you can imagine how fat this kid had to be.

And he's like, you're going to die from, you're too fat.

You're too fat.

You'll never amount to anything if you're that fat.

And he couldn't get his son to stop eating.

So he hires a French guy.

Now, why would you hire a French guy to do it?

The only reason why this French guy happened to be in town was because Napoleon was in town.

It was Egypt.

And so this French guy is like, oh,

I can help your son lose weight.

And he gets to know the fat kid and he likes the fat kid.

And he's like, look,

don't tell your dad, but

I got a little buster for you.

And so he starts feeding feeding him macaroni.

He smuggles in macaroni for the fat kid.

And the fat kid's like, I love macaroni.

Thank you very much.

The French are the greatest.

And

dad just thinks, my son, look, I am doing everything I can.

And dad is saying, well, my son's not losing any weight.

Don't look at me.

So this goes on for a while.

And then there's all kinds of wars and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And,

you know millions die sure blah blah blah

uh and things change uh and dad dies and the fat kid's like finally finally my dad's dead

and he becomes king

he's now the ruler of egypt and with all of these things that are changing the crimea war and everything else

The planet is changing because everybody was getting all of their goods and services either over land

and the Ottoman Empire was

really in trouble at the time.

So those trade routes were being lost, or you go down south around Africa, which took too long.

So that's when the French guy,

who was strangely not a dietitian,

I don't know what exactly he did.

I think he was like an engineer.

I mean, he was a guy who wanted to build the Suez Canal for a long time.

And he says, look, I smuggled the macaroni to you when your papa was saying, Verdive,

stop eating so much.

It was me with the macaroni.

And so the fan kid's like, okay, we'll build.

I mean, I'm...

This is the gist of it.

You'd have to.

This isn't a historical quote.

This is not exactly the historical quote.

But we don't know.

I wasn't there and neither was a historian.

They didn't have tape decks back then.

So he's like, I got to do it because I want more macaroni.

And so he builds the, he starts to build the canal.

The problem is,

is it takes so many people.

There's not enough slaves.

And he is telling everybody that you have to you have to build the canal.

And you're a slave.

And so, you know, you're a peasant.

So you work for me.

You're a slave.

And now go build the canal.

Well, at the time this is happening, something else in the world is happening.

Now, this is the part where

you can look at everyone who says, the United States never did anything.

The United States is just a horrible place.

We are just, you know what we are?

We're all about slavery.

That's all this country has ever done.

Okay.

Suez Canal.

60,000 people are slaves building this canal.

Something interesting happens.

It's called the Emancipation Proclamation.

Ah, crap!

No, I don't have slaves.

I'm not going to get any back around me.

Because in Egypt, the Emancipation Proclamation, as it did all around the world,

shook the world.

And so the 60,000 slaves that were digging the Suez Canal also were freed.

In fact, the 20 million slaves in, they were called serfs in

Russia.

They were also freed because of the Emancipation Proclamation at the time.

But I digress.

Back to the fat kid with macaroni.

So they build the

they build the canal and all kinds of stuff is happening all around the world at this time.

We are building all kinds of stuff.

I mean, it's in the 1860s and so

you're looking at the building of some of the greatest

things in the world, the greatest construction.

We're building canals, we're building tunnels, we're building bridges,

everything around the world.

Suez Canal

is dug, and now it has to be opened.

And they have the big opening ceremony, and a guy comes, and he's like, I've got an idea.

Maybe for the opening, I unveil a big statue for you, right?

And

put it right here at the opening of the canal.

It's going to be based on the Colossus of

Rhodes.

And they're like,

I like macaroni.

So they don't build the statue.

Instead,

they build the statue, a 35-foot tall statue of the guy who snuck the fat kid macaroni.

And that was sitting at the opening of the Suez Canal

until the Egyptians took it from the British in, what, 18 or 1950s, and they blew up that statue.

But that guy was Bertoli.

That guy was rejected for that statue, and he went on to build

the Statue of Liberty.

It was originally made for the opening of the Suez Canal.

Now, the reason why I'm stopping here is because

that was unveiled on the opening of the Suez Canal, the small little statue of the macaroni guy.

And

that's his official name?

This is if history were taught like this, every kid would know history.

They would know the macaroni guy.

They would know the macaroni guy.

They'd get the gist of the story.

And so then all of the kings and queens and everybody from all over the world, they're on a barge and they're all gonna go down the Suez Canal.

And what happens?

happens?

A boat gets stuck.

Right before the opening, a boat gets lodged sideways, exactly like what's happening right now.

And so what did they do?

They blew it up.

I'm just saying, little toot ain't going to get the job done.

Blow it up.

And that is the story of the Suez Canal.

Kind of.

All right, let me tell you about timeshare termination.

If somewhere along the line you found yourself the less than proud owner of a timeshare, I'm betting that you have regretted it since

five minutes after signing the dotted line.

You probably haven't used it much.

Probably didn't use it at all in the past year during COVID.

And even if you could, did you get to go to the places that you were really promised?

Pretty unlikely, I'm afraid.

But are you still paying the maintenance fee?

We all know that timeshares are mostly just scams.

Not all of them, but mostly just scams.

Sometimes we get pulled into them anyway because we think it's going to be a good deal.

And now,

I mean, can you even afford it?

There is a legal way to get out of timeshares, but you need to start the process of getting out and ending the madness.

This is not an overnight thing.

Don't put it off another day.

Timeshare Termination Team, 888-GETYUOUT.

888-GETYUOUT OUT is the phone number.

The reason why I want you to call them is because they have a 100% money-back exit guarantee.

Timeshare Termination Team, get the process started today and you'll get 20% off when you terminate your timeshare today.

Just make sure that you tell them I sent you.

If you use my name, you're going to get a 20% discount.

It's 888-GETUOUT.

Remember, it is 100% money-back guarantee.

You've been scammed enough.

888-438-8688 or go to timeshare termination team.com that's timeshare termination team.com 10 seconds station ID

oh so I don't know if you saw this Stu but

The White House is now talking about a tax for every mile that you drive.

Yeah.

Pete Buttigieg bringing that in.

Yeah, that's good stuff.

That's good stuff.

That's because, remember

long ago they said, well,

you need electric cars.

Yeah.

You need an electric car because,

you know, that's good for the environment.

And you're not going to have to pay for all that gas and you don't have to pay any of those gas taxes.

That'll be great.

And then when the gas tax money started to go away, they said, well, we can't use a gas tax anymore because no one's paying the gas tax.

Yeah, because we have electric cars.

We have electric cars.

We're not paying the gas tax anymore.

So now we just need to charge you a dollar per mile, which I think is.

A dollar per mile?

I think it...

No, listen to me.

I think that's not that high, is it?

I would be shocked, but that can't possibly be how much it is.

Gas tax anyway, blah, blah, blah.

A dollar a mile, no.

It can't be.

I swear I read that.

Now I can't find it in this article.

I swear I read that this weekend.

It can't be.

Because that would be crazy.

But then again, it's the joke.

You know, here's why it didn't even, until you said that, I'm like, yeah, dollar per mile.

It just seems like it's a lot of money.

I mean, it just seems like, yeah, okay, that could be

possibly.

Okay, so they're, they're thinking about taxing people, which I think goes right in line, seriously, goes right in line with the no one under $400,000 is going to pay a dime in extra taxes.

Don't you think?

Oh, yeah.

Because I don't think there's any, as far as I know, only people who make over $400,000 drive cars.

Yeah.

So

all those other people don't have to pay that tax.

And so the good thing is, if you live in New York City, you won't have to worry about it, you know, because you really probably don't drive,

which is great.

You'll pay a little more for taxis, but aren't you willing to, you won't even notice that, you know, a little more for Uber, you know, but will you notice that?

So all you have to do is live in one of these great, great cities with, you know, some sort of a subway or something, which our country is riddled with

those cities.

I can't fall down and not be able to touch two different subway systems or a light rail system that is so convenient for me to use.

How about you, Stu?

I mean,

they're just fantastic.

Oh, I'm a huge fan of the light rail.

And the good thing about them is their consistency, which is every time they're created, they destroy the economy around it.

Right?

Yeah.

And they just,

and I shouldn't say they destroy the economy around it, they just take everyone's money and then it gets poured into the light rail system instead of other valuable things.

And like the light rail system that comes right here, just a few blocks away from our studio.

Oh, it's nice.

It's really nice.

And the reason why it's so nice, it's been there for decades, really.

And no one ever rides it.

So it's like a ghost train.

Yeah.

It just rides in the middle of the night.

It rides early in the morning and no one is on it.

And

I just just think it's

I think it's the way it should be we're saving it for when people really want to ride it you know I I like that because uh it's first of all it's very spacious

you always have the space because no one is on it the Dallas almost literal the Dallas one is in is an insane story in 1984 it came in the tax came in It was supposed to pay for 147 miles of light rail, but that plan was too expensive, so it was scaled back to 90, even though the tax stayed the same, obviously.

Of course it did.

Yeah, of course it did.

It only makes sense.

$8.2 billion

was what it cost.

And

I know I've used it approximately zero times.

Glenn, how many times have you used it?

I've lived here now for what, 10 years?

Have you lived here for 10 years?

Yeah.

I've used it

never.

Never.

And Sarah, have you ever used the light rail system here?

No, she says no.

In fact, that's the thing.

I don't know anyone that you because it goes from like nowhere

to other places also where nothing happens.

And it's one of those things where like I think one of the stops is at the American Airline Center, like where the Dallas Mavericks play, for example.

However, it like doesn't run late enough for some of the games.

So

why would you?

The one time I wanted to take the light rail system, I was with my son.

We went to a Mavs game, and the game ran, I guess, a little bit late.

So they just stopped running the trains.

So then I was just down in this center of Dallas with my kid at 11.30 at night, which was fantastic.

Of course, no Ubers, no cabs, nothing around at that point.

So the story ends with him being stabbed.

Probably.

By the way,

we have something in common with our fellow people here in Dallas.

92% of people in Dallas have never used the light rail system that they cause all these billions of dollars.

Yeah, but those 8%.

I mean, that's good stuff.

I mean, it just never goes anywhere.

And you have to drive to it.

Right.

It's so.

I mean, it's just...

they're just ridiculous.

It's not New York City.

They added an extra train line

and they had a goal of how many miles they were going to use after they made the goal.

They added an extra train line

and they got an extra two years

and they still missed the goal by over 40%

because no one rides it.

No one rides it.

And it's an incredible thing where you see this thing floating around empty all the time, just going back and forth.

It's like Sim City.

You'd put the whole game.

You'd just put the stupid train in there and just ride back and forth and no one would ever be on it.

You know,

here's the amazing thing.

I've lived in so many cities because I'm on the run.

I'm on the lamb.

And I've lived in so many cities all across the country.

And every time.

Every time I go to a city, it's like, we should have a light rail.

And I'm like, don't do it.

Don't do it.

Don't do it.

Every city I've lived in has done it and it's a waste of money.

They never finish it.

And then you've got some politician going, hey, well, at at least we got light rail it's great if we could just get an extension to it then it would really open up don't do it America in the meantime

a mileage tax coming your way

this is the Glenback program

hey do you have a combustion engine

Well, you're already evil.

But on top of it, that combustion engine probably has some silicon chips in it, which are not evil.

They come from a beautiful valley.

Anyway, those silicon chips are expensive.

And so

when your

combustion engine goes wrong, it's probably not the engine that you could run to Pet Boys and get something and fix.

No, no, no.

It's probably that cheap piece of plastic.

That thing, oh, that'll set.

Well, you need a new chip.

It's going to set you back six grand.

Really?

The car was 20.

That one chip was six grand out of all of the money I paid.

That really?

Yeah, uh-huh.

Well, you don't have to worry about it now if you have Car Shield.

Your car breaks down.

They're going to send somebody for you.

You got a rental car.

They're going to pay for the covered repair.

You don't have to front the money.

It's great.

It's carshield.com.

Use the promo code back and save 10%.

It's carshield.com promo code back.

In Dallas here, every time

someone decides to ride the train, we have to pay them $4.21.

So just use a little bit of that cash and go to blazetv.com slash Glenn.

Promo code is control.

This

is the Glenn Beck program with some good news.

They just

colon blowed that thing out of the canal.

So it is free.

Yay, it's free.

$9 billion a day in trade were blocked by that.

And all they needed to do, Egypt needed a little bit of fiber, and they won't get blocked like that ever again.

And I think that's...

That's a good thing.

It's good.

Yeah.

It's good.

Okay.

So

we're here with Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed.

And welcome to the program.

Thank you.

Good to be here, Glenn.

So

I was at church yesterday, and

I'm about to lose my mind on the whole mask thing.

Yeah.

I talk about this almost every week after church because I am coming out of my skin for that.

For that hour.

Yeah.

Because I hate the mask.

It's so hot.

Yeah, it's so hot.

And so hot.

Then you start singing in it.

Well, I'm not going to.

With the mask, I'm not singing.

First of all, we're every other pew.

So we're already

a million miles away from everybody.

The six-foot thing was arbitrary.

It's three feet

for the WHO.

Why aren't we going with WHO standards?

I thought they were so great.

Anyway,

so we're sitting there and we're singing and then people started coming up.

Did you get the vaccine yet?

Have you had the vaccine?

No.

Oh, you're going to get the vaccine?

No.

You're not going to get the vaccine?

No, I've already had COVID.

I had COVID.

My whole family had COVID.

For a long time, we were sick.

We had COVID.

I got it.

So you're not going to get the vaccine?

No, I'm not going to get the vaccine.

When are your kids going to get it?

My kids aren't going to get the vaccine.

My kids.

Well, so you're not, you don't want, you don't want your family to get the vaccine?

No, it's not that I don't want my family to get the vaccine.

We already had COVID.

Don't need it.

We don't need it.

You know, if I wanted to get it, maybe I would.

I don't recommend to my kids that they get it because it's generally good

with kids.

I mean,

my kids don't need it.

It's not that big of a deal.

So when are you going to get it?

And nothing has changed here in Texas.

Nothing has changed.

Yeah, Pat and I were just talking about this

because they did this big.

Remember, Joe Biden did this Neanderthal thinking speech where he was saying that Texas opening up to 100% was going to cause the crash of all humanity.

There are going to be piles of dead bodies on every street.

And I will tell you that we still club women here in Texas and then just drag them by their hair in Texas.

Obviously, everybody knows that.

Of course.

It goes without saying.

That's with or without a mask.

Yes.

So, yeah.

That was way before COVID.

I mean, we've been doing that since 1836.

And now you've had 18 consecutive days of downward motion in our numbers here in Texas.

In hospitalizations, in infections, in death, in all of it.

It's all going down.

The opposite happening in Michigan right now, where the numbers are going up considerably,

where they have not been open 100%.

And it's funny because there's two ways this has gone.

One is the Neanderthal thinking, Gavin Newsom saying this is reckless behavior and all this nonsense.

Everyone thinking that it was going to blow up, and you know, all of us in Texas sort of yawning and rolling our eyes.

And on the other side, nothing has really changed.

No, I mean, that's you're going to have more people in a restaurant.

That's about it.

That's the other side.

I see a lot of people using this as like, well, this proves lockdowns don't work.

Not really.

We didn't have lockdowns before this, and we don't have them now.

It really doesn't seem any different than it was before we made the speech.

Do what they think is the right thing to do.

They do.

So, you know,

Texans are not all walking around just like, I'm going to French kiss everybody I see today.

It's not happening.

It's not happening.

They're still wearing masks.

And then I'm going to shoot them with my six gun.

That's not what happens here.

Well, once in a while.

Yeah, once in a while.

They're shooting with a six gun, but only those who deserve it.

Right.

Hey, by the way, speaking of guns, did you hear about Hunter Biden's gun?

You know the.

Yeah.

Why do you say it that way?

Again, with an accusatory kind of.

Because, like, what do you think?

We're stupid?

Is that what you're doing?

Well, I don't think there's a lot of people.

People informed?

I don't think there's a lot of people in the audience that do know this.

Okay.

Now I don't want to share it.

Now I don't want to share it.

I feel judged.

No, this is an unsafe environment.

This is an unsafe.

I don't mean to make you feel uncomfortable.

Well, I feel, and it's my feelings that really matter.

And you know, my apology won't matter either.

So

you're right.

You're right.

So

while the president is pushing gun control, I would just like to stop at the little Hunter Biden story that

we apparently talked about a long time ago.

And I'm going to pretend that I don't remember it.

Really?

Yeah.

Why would you pretend that you don't remember talking about it?

You'd like to take credit for every prediction that you've made.

Well, I'm going to pretend.

I read a story, and they were like, the only people that were talking about this was Glenn Beck and the Blaze and all the research they did during the impeachment.

And they were the only ones that talked.

And I'm like,

damn right.

Damn right.

You didn't remember the.

Oh, of course.

Of course you do.

Anyway.

The story begins in 2018 with Hallie Biden.

Now, Hallie.

Haley.

I think.

Why don't you tell the story?

Said Haley.

Why don't you just tell the story?

Well, no, it's your story.

I'm just helping with it.

Well, you remember.

Did you hear the marriage?

You initially talked about it so often.

All right.

It was your muted job.

And by the way, did you hear my macaroni story on the Suez Canal a few minutes ago?

Don't correct my stories.

Right.

Okay.

They are airtight.

So Hallie Biden.

Yeah.

With Bo Biden.

You want to correct me there?

No.

Okay.

So Bo is,

Bo's dead, and Hallie, the widow, starts, you know, with Hunter.

And

she's going through Hunter's truck due to a quote suspicion she had.

Now, we don't know what that suspicion she had was,

but then she found a 38 revolver,

and

it belonged to him.

And apparently, it just ended up in a trash can behind a grocery store across the street from a school.

It happens.

It happens.

Guns go off by themselves.

And sometimes they're like, I am so sick of being, I am not going to be treated this way and under a seat in a truck.

I am worth more than that.

I want to be in that trash can across the street from the school behind the grocery store.

And so it went off.

Now,

the police are saying that that kind of thing doesn't happen.

So she returned to the store later to recover the gun.

as Hunter had directed her to do, but it couldn't be found.

She told the the grocery store about the missing gun.

Could you imagine that conversation?

Hey,

did you guys find a gun

in

your trash cans by any chance?

Can you imagine having that conversation?

No,

if somebody walks into the store and is like, if somebody came to me and said, hey, here at the studios, you know your dumpster in the back?

Did you guys happen to find, you know, like some weapons in there?

I would immediately call the police, right?

You'd be like, uh-huh.

Yeah, you know what?

We did.

Why don't you wait here for about 10 minutes?

So she went to talk about the

missing gun, and this is where things got weirder.

The missing gun is

particularly worrisome because the school is right across the street.

They were afraid that it would be

used in a crime.

While police were questioning Hunter,

he also appeared to racially profile two Mexican grocery store employees, telling officers they were probably illegals.

So when the cops go to talk to Hunter about the gun that was in the,

he immediately throws them under the bus.

Oh, okay.

All right.

Then the police,

then the police and the FBI go in

and the police or the FBI tell the police, you know what, we got a federal investigation going on.

And so two Secret Service agents

with badges and identification cards reportedly pay a visit to the gun store where Hunter bought the firearm earlier that month and told the owner to turn over the firearm transaction record from the purchase.

Now, why would you do that?

We want no record of that.

We'd like you to give us all the records records on that.

Well, the store owner was like, I don't think you actually want this for an investigation.

I'm guessing you want to make all this stuff disappear.

So the store owner held on to the paperwork until the ATF came in and they reviewed the forms.

And the Secret Service said, oh,

no, we didn't send anybody out.

We don't know what you're talking about.

We didn't send anybody out.

It also appears that Hunter may have lied on his federal background check.

No, did.

I don't think there's any way.

No, he may have lied.

How is they may have lied?

He said.

It's a little fuzzy on those federal forms.

When they ask you about

previous

drugs and you say no, and blatantly you're on record

convictions and stuff when you were doing Coke in a Hertz rental car that you turned back with Coke lines still

on the dashboard.

It's unclear.

It's unclear.

You could easily, it's like, what is it, Peter?

Are you an illegal alien?

No, I'm not from space.

Why would you call me an illegal alien?

And since when do we ban people from space coming?

And can it be abuse when it's so much fun?

No.

You know,

abuse drugs?

No.

Damn it, they abused me for years.

So now he answered no to a question in the firearms transaction record asking if he was an unlawful

user or addicted to marijuana, any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance.

And his answer was no.

His answer was no.

That's a felony.

But don't worry, kids.

He's part of the elite.

He's not going to pay any price for that, I'm sure.

But I just love that this is coming out now.

As daddy is saying we have to

tighten the restrictions.

And ban certain guns.

Ban certain guns, yeah.

But I just like we have to really tighten the background checks because as his own son has just proven,

people lie all the time.

People lie all the time.

If you want a drug, let's say you're a drug abuser and you want a gun, you're going to go find one and you'll buy it not necessarily from the gun store because you're already buying drugs from a drug dealer.

It's not like I've got my lines.

My favorite one was this Boulder shooting.

You know, one of the first narratives after they were like, oh, it's got to be a white guy.

Once that went away, they were like, well, did you know that 10 days before this shooting,

a judge overturned an AR-15 ban in Boulder.

And 10 days before that, and this guy bought the AR-15 like six days before that.

Do you believe this?

Well, he bought it in another town where they didn't have an AR-15 ban.

That is why.

That is why we must have it.

That's federal.

No, that's why we must have it federally.

I think it needs to be global.

Because, you know,

we need to keep these borders open.

We can't come up with a disconnect as to why we're fine with open borders, but we need gun laws all over here because obviously they could just bring the guns across the border.

It's not like you have nefarious people like drug cartels right on the border that are actively making money,

doing things, human trafficking, drugs, guns.

There's none of that happening.

No.

These are just good people.

Good people.

Good people.

Good people.

Bringing people to a better life.

By the way, if you didn't hear Ted Cruz and

his little

run-in at the border, we'll play it for you next.

So we've been talking about rough greens now for over a year.

It's a supplement you sprinkle on your dog's food that contains all kinds of vitamins and minerals and probiotics, antioxidants, all the stuff that you're going to give to your dog, and it will help him build a happier, healthier life.

I told you about my dog Uno and how much eating rough greens has changed his life.

This is not a dog food.

This is up a limit you put on the food and they love it.

Now,

you don't want to buy a whole bag of this stuff if your dog's not going to love it.

You put it on and you're like, no, he doesn't like it.

So all you have to do is

call Rough Greens or go to their website, r-u-f-f-greens.com slash back, and they're going to send you a free bag of rough greens for your dog just to try out.

If your dog likes it, then order a bag of rough greens.

You will see a difference in your dog.

Warning:

our dogs don't really like to eat their food now if it doesn't have rough greens.

So you may have to hurry up and order another because your dog starts to look at you like, and

where is it, man?

Where's the dog crack?

It's rough greens, r-u-f-f greens.com/slash back or 833 G-L-E-N-N33 lenn33 roughgreens.com slash beck

george floyd's uh murder trial is happening beginning today

yay it's gonna be so exciting uh all kinds of good things are gonna come out of this um so we have that we're gonna cover for you also more on the border we have um a local sheriff who wrote an open letter that is really good

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

I'll share the letter with you as well.

But let me go back to the border with Ted Cruz over the weekend.

He went into one of the border facilities and the Democrats took some photos and released them.

And it's a horror show down there.

Here's what happened when Ted Cruz was walking through on his tour.

Listen.

Please respect.

Please give dignity to the people.

Please give dignity to the people.

So you work for the commissioner, your senior advisor.

You were hired two weeks ago, and you're instructed to ask us to not have any pictures taken here.

Please respect the people.

Because the political leadership at DHS does not want the American people to know it.

Please respect the rules.

You keep standing in front of the pictures, so you don't want the pictures taken.

The rules are arbitrary, and they're designed to give the people.

That's all we ask.

Dignity and respect.

You're asking, is this dignity and respect?

Look at these people.

Let me ask you.

There's a pandemic.

I'm responsible for

this.

Is this respecting the rights rights of these people?

Are you respecting the rights of these people?

This is not a zoo, sir.

Please don't treat the people.

You're right, and this is a dangerous place.

Please don't treat the people.

And your policies unfortunately are trying to hide them.

I understand.

You were instructed when 18 senators came down to.

Please respect the people, give them dignity and respect.

I respect them, and I want to fix this situation.

We always fix it.

And the administration you're working for is responsible for the people.

How dare you not know what she's trying to say?

Give these people dignity and respect as we mistreat them and

put them in like an Arby's warming ovens.

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

This

is

the Glenback Program.

Nothing ever changes on the border.

I mean, it's changed one time in my lifetime.

One time, and that was with Donald Trump.

He was serious about it.

He did the things that he had to do to keep us safe and to keep our borders secure.

This problem, however, when we have Republicans and Democrats going up, nobody ever seems interested in

actual solutions here

because it's too valuable as a political football.

Democrats, Republicans, neither side wants the game to end because

we're going to take their ball away and they have nothing to play.

Meanwhile, law enforcement officers, the people who are actually down at the border, those who are police officers, border patrol, or sheriffs, those who work along our border are left to deal with a messy reality and so are the citizens on that border.

I'm going to introduce you to a sheriff who has some,

who is, who wrote a letter that you need to hear.

I'm going to give you excerpts of it.

That you really need to hear because he describes

a country in deep, deep trouble that is ignoring

some really bad signs.

We are enabling very bad people

to hurt us and our country.

We begin there in 60 seconds.

The Glen Beck Program.

Or if it did, it was the kind of thing that made her feel like not herself.

That's one thing that Cindy didn't want.

She heard about relief factors.

She was skeptical at first.

It's just hard to rush in and try something new when you've been burned plenty of times before.

Believe me, Cindy, I understand that point of view.

But in the end, she decided to at least give it a try.

She ordered a three-week quick start.

This is what I recommend you do.

I love this from the company because they openly admit about 70% of the people go on to order more because it works for them.

So just try it because they found it's about three weeks you learn whether or not it's going to work and they don't want to gouge you for

something and trap you into something that it's not working for you.

So just try it for three weeks.

At the end of three weeks, if you don't feel like I did or feel like Cindy did, stop taking it.

But if you feel like Cindy did and I do,

order more.

It's Relief Factor.

Recently, an Arizona sheriff named Mark Danels shared an urgent letter on Facebook.

And I would love for you to read the whole letter, but I want to share just a couple of excerpts from it.

He writes: The current conditions on the border are impacting public safety in our communities and, by any reasonable measure, constitute a humanitarian crisis.

We remain immersed in politics rather than solutions.

In Cochise County, Arizona, they have a sophisticated camera system along the migrant routes across the border.

These cameras detect significantly more traffic than our federal partners report capturing.

In fact,

our estimates are that only 28% of the people crossing illegally are taken into custody.

Now, I want you to think about the numbers that we have.

Think Think about the numbers that have crossed already.

If that's only 30%,

the numbers are staggering.

And where are these people?

TCOs, transnational criminal organizations, are exploiting the migrant crisis to ensure the redirection of law enforcement resources away from the interdiction of illegal drugs into this country.

They know that increased migrant traffic, especially children, overwhelms resources and essentially gives them the unfettered ability to traffic drugs into the U.S.

Make no mistake, this is a deliberate tactic.

On top of a public safety and humanitarian crisis, we may now add a public health crisis.

There should be an outcry from those persons who have expressed concern about the COVID pandemic.

Arizona's border sheriffs are not interested in the politics of the current crisis or perceived political ideological victories.

We need policies from Washington, D.C.

that discourage rather than incentivize undocumented immigration.

The time for politics and partisanship has passed.

Sheriff Daniels is exactly right.

The COVID situation alone should be enough to seal the border, especially for those who are panicked over the COVID crisis.

Right now, we have in the center of Dallas, Texas,

we have a convention center that is filled with illegal aliens who have not been tested and can come and go apparently as they please.

Due to Mexico's extremely low rate of testing, We have no idea how bad it is.

The death toll, however, in Mexico is probably around 300,000.

Just last Friday, Argentina suspended flights from Mexico.

All of our schools are closed.

Yet migrants and minors are flooding over the border and we're housing them.

And we are not

giving money to the cities.

especially down on the border.

On President Biden's first day in office, he signed an executive order halting construction of the border wall.

Now Sheriff Daniels is here to point out that the unfinished portions of the border have simply provided infrastructure, mainly roads, for the drug cartels.

It is, according to a study, it is now a multi-billion dollar business for these cartels, human trafficking.

The same report finds that in order to pass through the territories of drug traffickers, migrants have to pay drug taxes or cartel taxes, as much as $180 million a year.

What

are we doing?

Our elected leaders refuse

to come back to common sense.

Some issues must be apolitical, and this is one of them.

And if they won't make it apolitical, we must insist that they do.

And we must insist not to play politics on the border.

Just talk about the real facts.

Sheriff Daniels is here with us now.

Sheriff, how are you, sir?

Good, Glenn.

The letter says it all.

It really does.

It is very, very clear.

Tell me what is happening in Cochise County.

Well,

to understand where we're at today, it's best to understand where we came from.

And you hit it in your intro with me, was the fact that President Trump, I worked as border for 37 years, President Trump was the first president to actually emphasize and do everything he can within his power to secure our border.

It's not immigration, two different programs, border security.

And we were very close with him, sheriffs, police chiefs, mayors, governors,

DHS CBP, all the way through in his administration.

When President and we've come so far, we truly have.

It's the best it's been.

The ranchers tell me, everybody asks, well, how do you know it's the best it's it's been?

First of all, our stats show us that.

Second of all, the people who live on the rural border down here, the ranchers, the farmers, the citizens, say this is the best it's been in three decades.

So that's the best measure of a test.

So we come up to current time when President Biden signed the executive order day one, which obviously was politically driven, ideology driven.

When he did that the first day, it sent a message to the cartels.

and to those vulnerable people that,

hey, we're coming across.

We're opening up the border.

And he stopped the construction on the border which stopped subterranean technology revenue resources and the physical barrier barrier

my three checkpoints are shut down in my county I got a border patrol station shut down in my county for a respond to help my deputies I got my aerostat shut down and I just learned Friday they removed me from the Homeland Security Council oh my gosh because of the letter

I think it was a collective effort that and they realized what they did they removed the majority of every member on the Homeland Security Council, which was formed after 9-11, to help advise DHS for communities and for this country.

So all but three people were left on the advisory council, the chair, vice chair, and a past chair.

The rest of us got letters unannounced.

And it starts off like this, Glenn says, I'm honored to address you in the first paragraph.

Second paragraph, it removes us.

Oh,

what a kick.

But it's the first time in history that a president and secretary, this administration, has removed anyone from that council.

And what a worst time.

We're in a chaos crisis on this border.

And you're going to take the group that's been selected throughout the country to help advise you into the future, help you navigate these issues, and then you remove them.

So, wait, wait, wait, wait.

So, this is because I am concerned about the humanitarian crisis,

but I am equally concerned,

I'm not blinded by that, by what the drug cartels are doing, but also

the, you know, other than Mexicans, the

Iranians, the Syrians,

the fact that the drug cartels will smuggle

guns and drugs and terrorists into this country.

Nobody's talking about those things.

So tell me, this was developed after 9-11.

What could their reason be for flipping everybody on that board?

Well, and the first thing comes to my mind, Glenn, is politics,

political ideologies.

They want to have their own.

They want the avoidance of this, and having people on the advisory council that speak very loud,

their business, their consultants, their federal judges, all the people that have come through that, sheriffs, police chiefs, that have been now removed on that.

It just

silences that voice.

Once again, and one thing I've seen since this has happened is the lack of transparency, the lack to share any kind of plans.

In fact, in the letter, it talks about we're going to develop a plan.

Well, don't you think any logic on this would you have a plan in place before you get rid of your current members who have served honorably, have served.

I worked on the sub the technology committee.

I've worked on youth violence.

I worked on faith violence.

I mean, spending a lot of time to help our communities.

And with this, again, stroke of the pen, we're gone.

We're gone.

So again, it silences everything.

There is no transparency with this.

And I've spoken to DHS at senior leadership,

working with the National Sheriff Association.

They have no answer for us.

We're past due on questions and answers in this country.

Okay, Mark, will you hold on for a second?

We're talking to the sheriff of Cochise County, Arizona.

I want to talk to you specifically about when Biden just stopped the building of the border wall in your county.

That

was really, really bad.

And I want you to explain why in 60 seconds.

If you're thinking about getting, you know, out of that big city you've been living in, oh, I mean, it's going to be beautiful, you know, especially coming this fall with the fire and the brimstone.

That's, oh, it's going to be great.

So anyway,

some cities, some states have turned into small little dictatorships and people have been moving away from the bigger cities in droves.

10 seconds station ID.

I'm just, you know, Sheriff, I'm just looking at your

resume.

You are

really, really,

your background is right

exactly what we need, especially in a place like Cochise County.

I'm stunned now that

they're not listening to you.

Tell me what the border wall was doing and why it was so bad to stop it on day one.

What has that done?

Well, besides sending a message to the cartel that we have an open border, and that's literally the message that's been sent.

We hear that from those coming across illegally because the opportune is now.

And truly, they're coming across for that reason.

In my county,

when they stopped...

the physical barrier, the technology and the resources, what that's done is left my border in disarray down here president trump was the first president for three decades to push beyond what the physical barrier was in the early 90s from operation stone garden or operation stone garden excuse me operation gatekeeper and hold the line were two programs that kicked off our physical barrier and what it is today president trump pushed beyond that first president in three years or 30 years to do that so by now we have a border that was under construction.

We have six-foot trenches just wide open.

We have low lying areas where they're putting in bridges where the cement coverts are in there and they're putting the cages over so you can put the cement in there, finish the bridges that just sitting there, open cables hanging out of the ground.

It's in disarray.

It's like building a house halfway and stopping and then walking away from the project.

What worries us in a couple of months when our monsoon season, our wet season hits, it's going to wipe out these what they're supposed to put a brand new road along the Southwest border here in my county.

That's not going to happen.

The whole thing's a mess we're in worse shape now than we were when we started uh this uh project and so it's

and you said that there's you said that there is infrastructure that they the drug cartels are using the roads et cetera that were made for the construction

is that in your county

you you are correct and what they did was up on the backside of a very

Very frequent smuggling area for the cartels because it's been concealed up there behind the mountains.

They blasted roads.

It took them about six months to a year to put the infrastructure in behind the mountains back into the flatlands just to get the equipment and the trenching up there to put the fence in.

Well, they got the infrastructure in, but they never got a chance to put the physical barrier in.

So now we have, I call them walking paths that are better in most national parks where they come up and walk right down into the flatlands.

And once again, once again,

there was no reasonable

closure to this project.

And as a result of this, we have chaos on our board, just on the technology and physical barrier side.

So nobody is talking, we are all talking about these kids in cages and the humanitarian crisis.

What is left behind are these small communities that are right there on the borders that are getting dumped.

All of these people are coming in.

You know, it's a crisis because the federal government doesn't have space for them.

Well, the ones that they really don't have space for, they're they're just putting on buses and they're just sending to cities all across the country.

And the border towns are the first ones to get hit hard, and there's no help from the federal government.

There's not.

You look at back in 2019, Glenn, where the caravans and surges that President Trump took on and addressed.

In the first nine months, we had 141 countries hit our southwest border.

And I've got to say this.

I know the focus is on the children.

In the first nine months, we had 3,500 children that were being exploited by the cartels.

And what that means, they were coming across with an adult expedited into the country because they had a child with them.

Then the children were brought back to Mexico and recycled back in the U.S.

just to get people in the U.S.

This cartel has its thumb and hand on everything going on in the southwest border.

In my county, it's $6,000 a head to come across our country, into our country, excuse me, and then they become servants to the cartels, whether it be sex drave, drug, gangs, enforcer, whatever it may be.

And unfortunately, the national media is painting a picture of these poor kids.

And I agree.

I agree.

In 2014, when the CAGES first came alive, that was actually under our President Obama.

And again, we've evolved.

And I do like your point that it seems like nobody can fix this problem.

We have the most powerful leader in the country, and that's our presidents.

But we fight it.

If Ludden President Trump will put a lot of effort on this border, I've gone through a lot of presidents in my 37 years.

I'm telling you,

it's rather disgusting because it's like we're left out of the U.S.

when it comes to security, being American,

our constitutional rights are on the southwest border.

What can the American people do to help you?

They need to stand up and be united because why we're the attention of the national media,

exclusively when it comes to the children, what's happening is everything in the southwest border, whether it's drugs, whether it's national security issue, whether it's a health pandemic issue, COVID, whatever it may be, it's coming into your neighborhood.

We might be the gate to it all, but it's coming into your neighborhood.

They're not staying in my communities communities until they can find the means or

the non-government organizations can get them out of here.

Right now, we see charter buses all the time.

$1,500

a hit to get kids out of our county.

$1,500.

You see almost every day.

You'll see them pulling out of my county.

So the only thing holding my county right now, Glenn,

with some kind of balance is Title 42, which is the health pandemic central travel only, which means internationally we restrict who's coming to the country.

In Texas, what they're doing is the state below Texas and Mexico will not let the U.S.

expel them back into their state, Mexico.

In my county, the state of Sonora is still allowing that.

April 21st, that's supposed to expire.

If that opens up, our southwest border will be flooded.

Not just in Texas, but flooded.

Mark, we will stay in touch with you.

I'd like to talk to you some off the air.

So

thank you for everything that you're doing, but we'll be in touch.

We're not done with the coverage and I appreciate your letter and I appreciate your willingness to speak out.

Stay safe and don't give up on the rest of America yet.

I know you're not going to.

I'm not going to.

I have hope of my oath.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This is the Glenback program.

Time's running out for you to get free premiere activation with Patriot Mobile, so you need to hurry up and make the switch.

I don't know which mobile service that you are with, but a lot of these big mobile companies,

I would make the bet that they are helping fund some of these crazy things and pushing us further and further into

a great reset, a country that you don't recognize.

They are funding Planned Parenthood.

They're funding anti-Second Amendment stuff.

You've got to switch and be with a company that believes in the same things that you do.

If everyone within the sound of my voice right now made the switch, you would send a real message to these companies.

And the problem is, nobody's sending the message.

The left is sending the message, you go this way and we protect you and you're great.

It's at Studos America and at Glenn Beck.

Follow today.

This is the Glen Beck program.

We really need your help, and I want to talk to those people who

live in and around the cities where

our border is.

I'm going to start by telling you a story.

When I was at CNN,

we, oof,

can you believe I even said that?

When I was with CNN, I remember those days.

Had a really good cafeteria.

Like the best cafeteria any place I've ever worked.

Anyway, it's true, man.

It was.

It was.

It was misery outside of the cafeteria.

But the cafeteria was awesome.

So anyway, when we were at CNN, I don't remember the story, what the first story was that broke about the border, but it was, I think, about the kidnapping of American citizens.

You never, ever hear this story, but American citizens are just ghosted.

They're just gone.

And

there is

fairly,

I would say,

90% sure it's accurate

that there are these

Roman coliseums on the other side of the border run by these cartels.

And they use them to set an example.

And they literally have people fighting each other to the death and fighting against lions and

everything.

And they ghost people.

Not only is it the citizens on the other side that cross the drug cartels, but also citizens here.

And we come up with all kinds of excuses not to talk about them, but it is happening.

And

these drug cartels prey on beautiful girls on this side of the

border, and they take them in, and sometimes they are just sex slaves for the cartels.

Nobody wants to talk about this.

And here's why.

When we were at CNN, we started to go down this path, and we were doing investigation on it.

And to CNN's credit, they didn't stop us at the time,

but they didn't really support us.

They weren't

excited about it, okay?

But they didn't ever say any more than they usually did, which was usually, I can't believe this guy is on the air.

Let's fact check everything six times to frustrate them so much that they'll leave.

But we became better journalists because

of our time there, because we had to be buttoned up.

So we were doing it, and I had a parent

on the border that was a was a source for us and I had this parent on the air

and then all of a sudden I could no longer get a hold of that parent

that person

one exposure on the air and I'm not even sure that we put their name yeah we did because they wanted to talk about their daughter

and that person no longer would talk to us was like, don't call me anymore, don't talk to me anymore.

Obviously, they were in danger.

Do you remember this?

Then we had a reporter down on the border that was doing a piece on the drug cartels and the missing Americans.

We had one exposure with that person and no more.

That person was absolutely a ghost to us.

It happened over and over again,

and

we were blocked

at every turn,

not from

internal forces per se.

Then I went to Fox,

and I remember sitting in the

office with Roger Ailes, and I said to him, This is when we first started, and I said, Roger, there's a couple of things I'm passionate about.

We have to expose what's happening with the drug cartels on the border.

These are missing citizens.

And I went over all of it.

And he said, go.

Go.

I said, so we have your backing.

He said, absolutely, go.

Well, we did

up to a point.

I remember doing a show.

If you watched all of my shows back then, you might remember.

I was very emotional because I felt like I had abandoned all of those parents that were not willing to talk on the air, but were begging for someone to help find their children.

And

I felt like I had betrayed them.

And I got on the air and in my usual weeby form, I talked directly to the parents and I said, consider us the Alamo.

We are not going to give up.

And we have plans and we're going to be pursuing these stories.

Well, all of a sudden, there were no satellite availabilities on the border.

We couldn't get any reporters to help us.

I went to Roger and I said, can you,

Roger, we just need one reporter.

I don't even have to break the news, but I can point them in the right direction to follow it.

Now we're down the road on other things.

Stay focused on Obama.

I know, but

this is part of that.

And again, I don't need the credit.

Give it to the news department.

Okay, we'll think about it.

Well, that never happened.

We never got the resources.

We could never talk to anyone because you speak to them once and then it's over.

I would like to talk to you if you happen to have any information that you want to give.

I own this show, this company, and I will,

it's me.

I only answer to me.

I mean, I have partners along the way of Premier Radio Networks and The Blaze, but

I can do what I want.

And

my wife,

this is the only time she's ever told me no on things.

She does not want me involved on these border stories.

And we have talked about it and we have cried for the families and she is like, there's only so much you can do and no.

But this story is not about the children on the border.

This story is about the drug cartels on the other side.

We cannot empower them.

We are giving them, just from this border crisis, $180 million

a year,

plus everything else that they're smuggling through.

We are handing our cities.

We are handing these children over to the drug cartels.

And we can solve this.

You just must secure the border and then say, let's have an orderly way.

Look, I understand.

If I were in Mexico and my town was run by a drug cartel and everybody's being killed in the streets and it's bad, I mean, do you remember the pictures we got?

We had a reporter send us pictures where this,

and there were several of them, where they were bowling with human heads,

where

there was a road

into this one town where they were actually crucifying people on the sides of the road to let you know exactly what happens to those who stand against it.

It is,

America must know what it is empowering.

And politics are going to get too many people killed.

I have done work to try to stop the sex trade.

It is an abomination what happens to these children.

Remember, there is nothing, nothing.

Tell me where Jesus gets really pissy.

It's people profiting off of the temple

and also children.

You might as well have a millstone around your neck and thrown to the bottom of the sea.

He's very clear.

What's happening, we know about.

But nobody,

I shouldn't say we know about, I know about.

The people in the media know it.

They just won't say it and they won't look into it.

They won't follow.

And the people who are living in these border towns, they are afraid, rightfully so.

They are afraid for their life.

We're never going to solve this if we keep making this about politics and we're not telling you the real story.

This is not about children.

As I said, if I lived in Mexico and my town was being rugged, I would do the same thing they're doing.

Even if it was just one of my children, go.

In my wife's family, Uncle Leo came here from Italy because they thought the entire family was going to be wiped out.

And so he was sent here because he was born in America on a vacation.

So he was an American citizen.

He was 16 years old, all by himself, dumped into New York City.

Why would you do that as a parent?

Can you imagine doing that?

Because the whole family they thought was going to be wiped out.

And the only safe place for the family was America.

So don't tell me you wouldn't do this if the situation were reversed.

But we have to have a humane way to do it and an orderly way to do it.

And we must secure the borders first.

I don't know how we reach our friends because now everything is about politics.

Everything.

How is it that when they're they're screening the jury

up in Minneapolis

for the

for the case that's opening today, the what's his name?

George Floyd case.

How is it that the jury is asked by both the prosecution and the defense questions about COVID?

What does that have to do with this case?

Because they were covert questions to find out if you were liberal or conservative.

How can a disease

become political?

Everything is,

if we truly care, we can't make this about politics.

We have to pursue the truth.

Too many people are not interested in that.

They don't care about the cages that these kids are in right now.

And can we stop calling them kids?

I don't know.

I mean, I'm sure there are little kids, but they're also like a lot of them 15-year-old boys, 15, 16.

Even Biden said the overwhelming majority are 15, 16, 17-year-olds.

Right.

And those aren't children children.

Yes, they are.

I mean, I have a 16-year-old son.

I don't want him mistreated and I don't want him in, but These are being sent for a reason.

Let's stop with all of the things that are trying to play on our hearts and give our heart a chance to actually embrace the things that are dangerous and are true.

I don't know exactly what I'm asking you for other than your prayers and your support.

But if you live on the border, if you're a sheriff, if you feel like nobody is listening to you, if you have things that need to be shared, you need to show what's really happening.

I'm listening.

Back in a second.

Take a look at that zucchini and squash.

I mean, when I look at that big thick chunks lined up on the grill next to some broccoli and cauliflower, I say, yum, it's dinner time.

Oh, the Brussels sprouts sprouts as they're just starting to turn brown and the asparagus i mean i i'm sorry if i'm making your mouth water like crazy

stu just looked at me like that sounds pretty good

by the way i went to a chinese restaurant the other day and i ordered something chicken and it came it had chicken in it and then it was just these square

Like there were like rectangles.

Oh, are you going to tofu town?

I didn't order tofu.

I don't want tofu.

Especially when you order a chicken dish.

Oh, my gosh.

Was it good, though?

The tofu?

Yeah.

The plate loved it.

It was like,

let me have this.

Just put that on the edge of the food.

And I was like, okay, plate.

Wow.

So

I did not want to deprive my plate or the garbage can of any of that.

Anyway, RekTech.

I mean, you know.

Put the veggies on the RekTech, man.

You can.

And they're good.

I'm actually eating

probably

80%, 90% of my food now is vegan, not even vegetarian.

It's vegan.

My daughter is a really good cook, and I don't ask her.

I don't want to see it assembled.

I don't.

I just told her.

That looks like a big square piece of tofu.

I'm never going to eat it.

Right.

Mix it into something.

She mixes and she fools me all the time, and it's really, really good.

But anyway, I digress.

Can we please talk about a steak for a second?

You can do all these great things

on the RekTech, but it is a grill, a smoker.

It can bake.

It has smart grill technology.

A, B compare with the best grill that you can find.

And you've never had bean curd if you haven't had it on RekTech.

Oh, my gosh.

Delicious.

And the problem is

the beans just keep falling through the little slats.

And gosh, darn it.

Oh, man.

Check RekTech out, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com, RekTech.com.

You are listening to the Glenbeck Program.

This is the Glenbeck Program.

We're so glad that you're here today.

Thank you so much for listening.

We have a lot yet to cover.

In next hour, I want to talk to you a little bit about what it's like to buy a home in California.

There is a story of these two buyers, and they are not alone.

These two buyers in California that bought a house, closed on it in January,

paid for it, signed the papers.

Then the former owner decides

he's not going to move out.

He has the money.

It's all gone through.

He signed the paper, but he's decided he's going to live there.

And the owners of the house can't do anything about it.

The joys of living in a progressive world coming up.

The Glenback Program.

So

Antifa decided to go to the Capitol in Oregon and

storm the Capitol.

Sound familiar at all?

Sound familiar?

I mean,

you probably don't know the story because it was not even worth covering, really.

Really?

Yeah, it seems like an insurrection.

Yeah, well, here's here's the problem.

Here's the problem.

Somebody was fed up with it, and

they were shooting paint pellets at his car,

and he got out and said, Stop.

And they didn't.

And they started shooting paint pellets at him, and he was armed.

And he pulled his gun out and said, Stop right now.

He didn't point it at him.

But that's the kind of

Trump-supporting

crazed maniac that is out on our streets with guns.

It just, Antifa just wanted to, they thought his car needed some new paint.

Oh, and they were all there with some paint.

And I think they were doing him a favor.

That's how out of control things are.

We'll tell you the follow-up story.

Coming up, we begin the last hour of the broadcast in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck Program.

So,

Stu, why don't you take this out yeah this is the uh there's a um a gold bar that i have to send back and i really don't want to send back i'll take i'll send it back for you

yeah yeah you think

you're so busy i'll take it and then don't worry about it we'll see each other when we see each other do you think that they will they would notice that we just took a two by four and just cut it into a shape of like this and spray painted it gold if we send it back here's the thing you ever see that trick where you where if you cut a pizza a certain way yes you can make it look like you you could take a piece of it and put it back together and it looks like the whole pizza exactly right.

You can kind of do that with this thing.

We'll just shave the top and the bottom off of it.

Anyway, what we're talking about is a nine-pound bar of gold that is sitting here.

Stu could just barely even open the box that it's in.

It is

a Ziploc back.

It's so small

and it seems a lot heavier, doesn't it?

Yeah,

it's really dense.

Yeah, it's like a black hole.

And it's a bar of gold from the 1850s or 60s.

It's marked, how much?

12,000.

2,641.96.

So just a little over $2,500.

$2,500 for nine pounds of gold.

So what's changed?

The value of the dollar.

That's what's changed.

The gold isn't worth more.

The dollar is worth less than it was in the 1860s.

And this is an actual piece of really cool history.

This was found on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of, I think, North Carolina,

and had been sitting there for over 100 years.

And now there's a few of these bars that are up for sale.

And if you're interested,

I mean, it's $300,000, but if you're interested,

Bill,

there's got to be like one person.

We should just call him.

This is a piece of gold that you can't confiscate, really, because it's, I mean, it's a, yes, it's a bar of gold, but it is a real big history piece as well for America.

And the bigger thing, of course, is you don't have to buy a giant gold bar for $300,000.

No, they've actually got gold for a lot less money.

Yeah.

It's kind of like, you remember when you were a kid and you had a business plan and you were like, all we need is one buyer.

Why don't we just, we'll make something and charge, you know, $10 million for it.

We only have to make one.

Yeah, it doesn't work that way.

It doesn't work that way.

So they've got smaller pieces of gold as well.

They're standing by to take your call.

Please take the

fall of the dollar seriously.

Please don't be surprised by that.

Call for all the information at 866Goldline, 866Goldline, or goldline.com.

We could make that into a tooth.

Oh, yeah, bring it in.

Have somebody bring it in to me, will you, Sarah?

So I read an article

and it's so funny because people send me these articles all the time and they're like, Glenn, you gotta buy this.

I'm like, you know, it's George Washington's hair is up for sale and not a lot of it, just like a clipping of his hair.

$1.7 million.

$1.7 million.

Seems a bit creepy to me, honestly.

It seems like something a stalker does is hold on to someone's hair.

Yeah, it does.

Well, it seems creepy to us, but this was the thing back then.

Autographs were worthless.

Nobody asked for an autograph.

Oh, so it was instead of autographs, you get somebody's hair?

Yeah, it was because it was deeply personal to them.

Big fan of your work.

Can I get some of your hair?

Is that really crazy?

That's what people did?

Yeah.

And then the person would just cut some of their hair off.

Well, no, it's like this stopped, you know,

around, you know, in the 1900s.

It was really kind of ended.

In the 1800s, it started to fade a great deal.

But that was the thing.

And so there's only so much hair.

And so you would have to be a very special person to get a lock of the person's hair.

And it was usually after they died.

So this particular thing that's up for auction

for $1.7 million is a lock of George Washington's hair.

Have you seen the picture?

No.

Oh, you got to

look it up real quick.

You won't believe it.

It's not a lot.

I mean, I've lost more in my sink

than

this is.

It was cut from his head on his deathbed.

Do you see it?

Yes.

Here's a picture.

Here's a big picture of it.

I've got a big picture of it.

It's like not a lot.

No, it's not.

You pull that out of like your, you know, your drain in the shower.

Yes.

I know.

So, oh, but wouldn't you love that?

And I could wear it around my neck?

You'll see that this, that's what this is.

It's just like a clipping of his hair, and it's between two pieces of glass in like a locket for a chain.

Okay.

That's not a lot of hair.

$1.7 million because it comes with a letter that says General Washington's hair cut from his head in 1799 by John Pierce, I think it is, of Philadelphia.

Send it to me.

I received it.

And then the signature of the guy.

So

it comes with real provenance.

You know that it actually is his hair.

But here's the thing.

When I saw this, I thought, 1.7.

Holy cow, what is going on?

I mean, is it the whole head?

Can we make a lamp out of the skin too?

I mean, how much hair is it?

Because we have a couple of pieces of his hair.

There is as much hair in this.

It's just tightly braided.

This is a little locket

that was given to

Martha Washington when he was, when he died, she cut a lot of his hair off and she would give it to relatives and to really special people.

Different times.

Different times.

Different times.

Different times.

So this is a locket that went around

the person's neck, and you can see it's tightly braided.

It's not a lot of hair, but it's about the same amount of hair.

Tightly braided.

I don't even know what we paid for that, but not $1.7 million, and not even close to that.

This just shows you how crazy things have gotten.

We also have in the Mercury 1 vault.

Why are you shaking your head?

Right in the little center box.

In the window?

Yeah.

You barely see it.

Yeah.

But that is actually his hair.

That's actually his hair.

Now, we have

in the Mercury 1 vault as well.

And I bet you we,

I can't.

I'd be shocked if we paid more than

10 grand for it, maybe.

We have, maybe, maybe if we bought it in the last 15 years, which I don't think we did, maybe it was 50 grand, but it couldn't have been more than that.

To be clear, this is a museum by

Gladys like, hey, I got 50 grand for hair.

Hey, I got to get some of his hair.

No, this is to preserve because, again, at the time, these things were more important than even a letter from George Washington, which is weird.

Would you say it's even more important than like a Suez Canal light?

Is it that important, though?

For American history, could it be more important?

Did I not?

were you not amazed by the Suez Canal history I gave you today?

The lesson on the macaroni guy story from the beginning of the fat kid with a macaroni.

That's why we have the Suez Canal.

That's the greatest story ever.

Well, not the greatest story ever, but a pretty good story.

It's in the top 100,000 stories.

And I will

say

you are able to tell it completely without the light.

I mean, here you are, a guy who shuts the Suez Canal light, and you did not need the light at all to tell the story.

Shut up.

Are you working for my wife?

Are you working for my wife?

So anyway,

so we have a ring and I apparently in the other vault

and should be.

Man, we should bury this thing like in a nuclear silo.

We have a ring of a lock of George Washington's hair that was cut by Martha Washington on his deathbed, just like this.

Then she gave it to

Alexander Hamilton.

Alexander Hamilton then gave it to his daughter.

She braided the hair.

It's unbelievable.

I don't even know how you would braid a lock of hair, but she braided a lock of hair, and it's really beautiful.

I mean, for creepy hair things.

And

he thought that was so beautiful.

He made it into a ring

and gave it to her.

So it's a ring bigger than this one.

And

the circle is, what, about an inch around?

It's an oval.

It's a gold ring

with a lock of his hair braided by Alexander Hamilton's daughter and given from Martha Washington to Alexander Hamilton.

I mean,

it's got to be

much more valuable than what they're talking about auctioning.

Yeah, we've got, I mean,

we got to consider selling that.

mean, David, David, David, seriously, I mean, $1.7 million.

That's insane.

And you know what that's from?

That's from $1.7 million.

It's actually

$1.771.

It should sell for $17.76.

Wouldn't that be great?

Oh my gosh.

Who's buying that?

Seriously, who has $1.7 million for a lock of his hair?

I mean, Mount Vernon has a lock of his hair.

And

by the way, it's a complete coincidence that

and completely unrelated that I am selling a baggie full of George Washington's hair.

It's white hair.

I got a big baggie full of it.

It's complete coincidence, by the way, that I got a haircut this weekend.

Don't tie those two things together.

I hesitate to bring this up, but you may know this is your area.

So I hesitate to bring this up.

But I'm reading a story here

that says the bidding in the auction was up to $1,771.

Not $1.7 million, but $1,700.

Is that possible that somehow one of these stories is completely wrong?

Or maybe it's just been bid up a lot since the story I have.

But I am a bit concerned because that's a big gap in those two stories.

Yeah, see, 2019, it sold for $35,000.

It couldn't be up to

another.

It couldn't be a $1,771, and

it couldn't be $1.70.

I don't...

Where did I read it?

This story, you're right.

This story is not.

Because, I mean, look, I still think $1,700 is a lot for a freaking couple pieces of hair, but

David and I were going to be able to.

You were going to retire.

You were ready to to retire on the George Washington.

I was ready to say,

you know what?

We're ethical people.

We would never take anything out of the Mercury Museum vault.

But see you later.

It's a ring.

See ya.

Yeah.

It can't be.

Just put an IOU

in the.

I know I read it today.

Yeah, one thing.

This is why, honestly,

I'm on drugs.

I'm on drugs today.

I will say you did tell me that before the show.

I'm going to be on heavy drugs for the show for my back pain.

right and i please watch every word that i'm saying right right so maybe this is a good example of why i should not be on the air today right

i mean look numbers are hard math is is a is a challenge

i read it someplace or at least

the drug returned

you can't that macaroni story you better check the fat kid with the macaroni there's no way the macaroni story

would you look that up The macaroni fat kid story?

Oh, boy, the macaroni

fat kid.

Egypt.

Suez Canal.

Egypt.

Let's just see.

Let's see what comes up.

It's got to be your story.

That story's got to be completely false.

This one goes directly to a book called Parting the Desert, The Creation of the Suez Canal.

And you got that by Googling Fat Kid Macaroni Suez Canal?

Everyone at home, you can do it yourself.

Just go now.

Do fat, uh, uh, macaroni, fat kid, suz canal, Egypt, and that's what comes up.

So I think that one is

probably good.

Well, here's the deal:

some of this hair from George Washington goes for $1.7 million.

So

it's a steal today if you're interested in George Washington's hair.

$1,700 and it is yours.

Think Think about it.

You can buy the $1,700 headquarters.

Okay, so

I thought this was crazy, and the only way I could explain it is because rich people are doing crazy things right now.

They're buying and bidding things up like crazy.

Well, what is the NFT market?

That's the crazy example of it, right?

These like non-fungible tokens.

Can we talk about that for a second?

Yeah, sure.

I mean, in this drug-induced state, I'm not sure.

I could tell you anything right now.

Yeah, there was actually a Glenn Beck photo that sold for $400 million on the NFT market yesterday.

Really?

Yeah, yeah.

Really?

Why are you still here then?

American Financing, NMLS, 1-82334.

www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

I'm hearing voices.

So when you're looking at the rest of 2021, most

market experts think that it's pretty unlikely that mortgage rates are going to stay down in the 2%

range.

The Fed says they're going to do this for the next 200,000 years.

I don't know.

The Fed said that

they are going to keep the rates down for the next two years.

I don't know how they're going to do that,

but

when we get inflation, you have to raise the interest rate.

If you are looking for a loan, it is going to get hard for you to be able to get a new mortgage or a consolidation loan as time goes on because of several factors.

One,

if you're a conservative, I think you're going to have real problems, and you will understand the depth of those problems on Wednesday night special because that's exactly what we're talking about with the

ESG

score that everyone's going to be receiving.

The other is it's going to take more for your credit score to be able to buy anything in the future.

They are going to be really tight on trying to lend things out because things are going to go sideways.

And you're going to have a hard time paying it if the interest rate is way up or if the economy is screwed.

Please call American Financing today.

Save as much money as you can.

Do this now.

American Financing.

You could also buy a lock of his hair.

American Financing, although that market has collapsed just recently, like today, about five minutes ago.

Oh my gosh, the market just collapsed.

Markets are unpredictable.

That's why we got that ring so cheap.

I bet we did pay about two grand for for it.

Okay, Stu, can you explain the non-fungible

assets or whatever they are?

Non-fungible token.

Token.

Very poorly.

Okay.

I can do that.

Did you hear my macaroni and fat kid story?

I did.

That was very good.

It was.

It was a great story.

If you missed it today, you got to go back to the podcast.

It is a fascinating story on the Suez Canal and how it was actually built.

And it does actually involve a fat kid, macaroni, and a Frenchman.

It's true.

So the non-fungible token thing is basically you can own

a piece.

It's basically a piece of digital art, right?

And the digital art in theory can be anything.

It can be something that someone's, you know, like

an actual piece of art that someone's created, or it could just be like a photo.

Or, you know, there's been people, the NBA got into this pretty early and they've been selling footage footage of famous NBA plays on the market.

And of course, this doesn't mean that you get to watch it and no one else does.

Remember the Pharma Bro?

I can't think of his name off the top of my head, but the Pharma Bro.

He was a CEO of a pharmaceutical company that raised the price of one specific rare, you know, medication for a rare disease up to like 10,000% in a day.

And he got all sorts of criticism

and he was eventually in prison because of that and other related things.

Yeah, you can believe this story today from Stu because he's telling it.

I'm on drugs, but different drugs, totally different drugs.

And so he,

in the middle of all that, bought like a Wu-Tang Clan album for like a million dollars.

Oh, I remember this.

It was the only copy of it.

So he owned the only copy, and no one else could listen to it.

And it's not the only copy because they were destroyed or anything else.

No one wanted it.

They did the plan we were talking about.

They made one and tried to sell it for like a million dollars.

No,

they did.

One person bought it.

So it's kind of like that.

Like you have ownership, and

no one can say that it's that you don't own it.

You do.

But there's all sorts of bizarre sort of side effects to this and how you're doing it.

So I like it when it means talk to you about that.

One digital artist just sold an NFT for $65 million,

which makes him, I think, the third most,

I i guess uh powerful person in art when it comes to uh ability to sell yeah let's talk about that here for just a second

this is the glenback program so i've been trying to shed the you know the old freshman 50

uh

lately how many the covid 80 you know uh trying to eat healthier but there's a problem i hate healthy food i hate everything that is healthy um i really do i mean i really have a problem with that it's true

But until they can come up with a skinny suit, you know, I guess eating healthy and God forbid exercise is my next thing.

But anyway,

part of eating healthy is being able to have a snack when you want one that's not a carrot.

I love sweets and a protein bar does not ever sound good to me.

However, Built Bar is a protein bar.

Keep it to yourself.

It's really good for you.

It's high in fiber, high in protein, low carb, but they're really good.

They're low calorie, too.

And they're made with real chocolate.

It's the marvels of modern science.

On that note, go to Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

The promo code is control.

You can try the promo code drugs, but I don't think that one's going to work.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

When it says on the bottle,

don't take and operate heavy machinery.

I don't consider a radio program heavy machinery, but I think it is.

I think you should start thinking of it that way.

I think it is.

Yes.

I think it is.

Because we have a bunch of topics to cover that we haven't discussed yet, but

I'm a little concerned.

They're a little concerned.

I'm a tad concerned at this point.

Ah, this isn't heavy machinery.

Look at the microphone.

It's not heavy at all.

It's not heavy machinery.

Go ahead.

Physically.

Run them by me.

Well, like, we are going to talk about the George Floyd trial.

Probably a bad idea.

Terrible idea.

Probably a bad idea.

It's a bad idea on a normal day.

On a normal day, but a day when I've got some things coursing through my blood that

I almost don't have a filter.

That's a good thing.

Except if you live in America today.

Then that would be

a very bad thing.

We have the vaccinations going on and some of the stuff over the weekend with COVID.

I think we could go there.

Go ahead.

You got something?

You got something?

We could talk about it because you mentioned earlier.

Well, no, see, I just feel like going into any of this stuff is with you at this point.

It's just pointless.

Any of it is.

I saw the new Bob Odenkirk movie this week.

Oh, really?

Did you?

Nobody.

Hey,

I saw last night, and this came as a shock to me.

I thought to myself, we were picking a movie, and I've been doing a lot of

research on history and everything.

And so the Titanic kind of crossed my path.

And I thought, you know.

Maybe it's been long enough.

Maybe it's been long enough.

I only saw it in the movie theater once, and my kids are teenagers, and and they've never seen the movie.

And

maybe,

maybe

it's been long enough to watch it again and actually enjoy it.

Right.

Yeah.

Because you watch it once, and then that's pretty much it.

It's pretty much it.

It's a three and a half hour extravagant

dirge.

Yeah, dirge is a good word for it.

It's got like, you know, it's got about 30 minutes of really great entertainment jam-packed into a three-and-a-half-hour movie.

Right.

And then there's a lot of like intricate, nuanced class war love triangle stuff that you just want to

yeah, that stuff.

It's like Attack of the Clones, the Star Wars movie, which

was the second of the prequel of the three.

No, I've never come back.

There's not enough time.

No, but you watch that one back.

There's a good 45-minute movie there.

There is a legitimate

45-minute movie.

Have you ever watched movies where you thought, if I had scissors, I could edit this thing into a great 30-minute episode of a TV show.

I'm telling you, that one is a good example of it.

There's great scenes.

There's great fight scenes.

There's great battles.

Is that the one with Jar Jar?

Jar Jar Binks?

No, that's the one after Jar Jar Banks.

So Jar Jar is pretty much not in the second one.

Oh, yeah, this is the one where he's that headdress and he's like some like, I don't know, admiral or something.

Yeah, I think he got promoted after the first movie, which is, he got promoted to never being on screen again somehow.

Yeah.

Well, he's so good.

You just don't want to

wear that out.

You know what I mean?

And George Lucas is good at knowing when you don't want to wear things out right so yes that's definitely I think that you could definitely do like the the the optimal titanic movie length is about an hour 18

you know what I mean that seems like about like you could be about a 78 minute movie is probably pretty good in Titanic I do remember it dragging a little bit so did you wind up watching this so we watched it last night and my daughter did not want to watch it She did not want to watch it.

And she's like, Dad, I don't, I'm not interested in the Titanic story.

And then I had to switch gears.

Leonardo DiCaprio, she's like, he is quite beautiful.

And I said, yeah.

And it's three and a half hours of, you know, a love story with him.

And somebody gets naked.

I didn't tell her that it wasn't him.

Yeah.

But somebody gets naked.

And she's like, I don't want to watch it.

And she watched it begrudgingly last night.

And even Rafe watched it.

with us and he was like, can we stop with the and I'm like, just keep them quiet.

I swear to you there's a great payoff the boats destroyed lots of destruction lots of death you're gonna like it he's a 16 year old 16 year old kid yeah so they both they both watched it with Tanya and I and shockingly and you may not be you may not have approached your time

But shockingly, there is enough time that can go by that you will actually enjoy it again.

So it was good.

It was actually really good.

My daughter,

she was just sobbing at the end.

She's just sobbing.

And she sits up and she's like,

I just love that movie so much.

Wow.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's great.

How did this, did Celine Dion still as annoying as I remember it?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, it's, it's worse than you remember.

The boat sinking scene was pretty solid.

And wasn't this the first like kind of real CGI that looked good?

I think so, yeah.

I mean, I know they did a lot of...

They did a lot of practical stuff in this.

Yeah, I've got pictures of them.

I think the scene where he's like, I'm the king of the world.

I think that was.

Don't take

anything today.

We had a discussion before we came back on the air that you should not, that Glenn should not be responsible for any facts for the rest of the show.

Just, you know, hey,

I watched a movie.

I watched a movie.

That's a safe space for this show right now.

Yeah, or I think I watched a movie.

Because you are going, like the Titanic, you're going to crash into an iceberg here at any point.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So anyway, I think that they filmed that in like Santa Monica.

I don't know.

Could be wrong because I think there's a giant Ferris wheel that would have shown up in that scene.

So I don't know.

But they actually built.

parts of the ship and they filmed it outside, which you just don't do anymore.

A little expensive.

And, you know, it was a very expensive movie.

And at the time, the highest-grossing movie of all time.

We're like, you know, I heard Titanic was pretty good.

Yeah.

Okay, so, but here's the thing I do want, you know, because Rafe was like, the movie came out after that beat this one at the box office.

What is that thing?

Oh, God, Avatar.

Avatar.

Terrible.

He's like, it's so much better.

And I'm like, I don't get it.

I didn't accept it.

I think it is some sort of a

Joe Biden, Hunter Biden lie.

Yep.

Or

some sort of Ukrainian thing.

Somebody got paid off.

It's on Hunter's laptop.

It's on under there.

You'll get this whole thing will be uncovered.

Because I never understood that.

No one understands it.

It's this dumb environmentalist movie with a bunch of blue people.

No one knows any of the plot points.

No one knows any of the character names.

And it's supposedly the highest-grossing film of all time and has created an entire amusement park around it.

I don't understand that.

Nobody has ever said to me, oh my gosh, nobody's ever quoted lines from that movie.

No one does.

Like, like, I mean, you know, I'm the king of the world.

You know that line.

Yeah.

Spoonful of sugar, you know that line.

I know all the lines from chitty chitty bang bang.

You know you.

Of course you do.

Yeah.

But I mean, you know, lines that come from, you know, movies.

There's nothing in there.

There's nothing remarkable about it.

Not that the only thing that was an achievement at all was the technology behind it.

The movie itself is a heap, is what it is.

It's a heap.

And the fact that they're making, he's been making these next two sequels for it seems like 100 years, and no one asked for them.

There's no one around saying, you know what, I need an Avatar 2 and an Avatar 3.

Go ahead, James.

I don't even know.

I've watched the movie.

I don't even remember the storyline enough to go, oh, I really wonder what happened to that blue one.

I mean,

isn't it basically it's just if you took the Ewoks storyline and made a movie out of it, right?

Like in Star Wars.

You're just like, here's the, you know, the people,

the creatures.

Nobody wanted the Ewok story.

Nobody wanted it.

No.

No, not even the kids.

No, not even the Ewoks.

No, the Ewoks.

The Ewoks actually.

We wrecked this movie.

Yes, and they did.

And so you're like, okay, here's the simple people and the mean technology people, those capitalists.

Let's make a statement against capitalism and technology while

making ourselves $760 million.

There has to be people that are older than 16 that like that movie.

I just think if it wasn't for actual dollars being spent, I wouldn't believe that is the highest-grossing film of all time.

And it's not anymore, by the way.

Avengers Endgame has passed it, and Star Wars Episode 7, The Force Awakens, has passed it.

So it is now.

All of our taste is in our mouth.

Yeah, Titanic's down to six.

Did you know that?

Well, is it adjusting today's dollars?

Adjust?

this one.

I don't think this one is adjusted.

You got to adjust.

Yeah, let me do that.

We're just waiting here because I'm

so I've got so much medicine in me right now.

I'm just like, we could just.

Some of these I think, I always think the inflation adjusted thing just tells us the story about inflation, not necessarily the movie.

Like, for example, number one all-time inflation adjusted is gone with the wind.

Adjusted.

Well, that one was like, didn't like 80 or 90% of the again, facts.

It was ridiculous.

It was like everybody saw that movie.

An estimated number of tickets sold 202 million, which is by far the highest of all time.

So, that I mean, it is a legitimate number one.

And if you have to now, there wasn't as much competition.

There's a lot of different variables here, but number two, that's $1.85 billion all time.

Number two, Star Wars episode four, A New Hope, $1.6 billion.

Number three is The Sound of Music: $1.3 billion.

ET is number four, $1.3 billion.

Titanic is number five, $1.2 billion.

There was a story I read.

I think.

There was a story I read today

that was all about

the hidden sexual stuff of

the

Van Trop family or whatever their names were in Sound of Music.

What's happening?

And

I know.

I don't even know why I read it.

I was fascinated by it because it was like adults understood all of the innuendos.

And I'm like, what innuendos in that?

And they were talking about when one of the kids put a, this is one of the examples.

When one of the kids put a pine cone in her chair and she sat down.

All the adults knew what that was.

I'm like.

People that put pine cones up their ass?

What the?

I mean, what?

All right.

See, seriously.

All right.

No, seriously.

Let's take a

let's take a do we have a is there such a thing as a drug commercial break like is there a real serious

alert system do if it's not going off right now what does that mean what he just

thank you

don't do that don't do that don't do that

this is one of these days here I am just I'm just fighting for these affiliates to keep their license that's all I'm doing here today I don't even know we're talking about seriously come on no tell me no don't go back don't go further

I can tell you the other thing that was happening.

I don't even understand that one.

I don't think you should.

I think you should move on.

All right.

Let me tell you about lifelong.

That's what you should do.

Identity scams are happening.

People

polls as nuns, and they're not.

They like to sit up.

More people are looking for ways to protect themselves from cyber criminals.

In fact, 60% of Americans believe it's likely that identity theft will cause them some sort of financial loss in the next year.

That's 60%.

Wow.

Yeah, that's a big number.

It's a big number.

Not as big as 1.7 million for a baggie of hair.

But it's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft, you know, this is, this is, don't do drugs, kids.

This is don't.

Just say no.

Every day you put your information at risk on the internet and in an instant a cyber criminal can harm what's yours, your finances, your credits, even your name and reputation.

That is the only thing that really you should worry about in the end, getting your good name back.

How do you get this off of your record?

How do you restore your name?

LifeLock is there.

They not only, I mean, nobody can stop all cyber threats and

keep everybody safe.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Well, the defense has delivered their opening statement now in the George Floyd trial, which due to the medication I'm on today, I'm not going to take it on.

I'm not going to talk about it.

But

how'd you like to be that guy?

I mean, if you're having a bad day, just think,

hey.

You're not that police officer.

Or the defense attorney for the police officer?

You imagine.

Did you hear the New York Times podcast today?

I didn't listen to it.

No, the daily.

Oh, my gosh.

No.

I'm sure it was.

They were talking about how

they were playing the interviews for all of the jurors.

And

the defense, was it the defense?

No, the

prosecution

said

to the one juror, What do you think about COVID?

Well, I mean, what do you mean?

What do I think about COVID?

I mean, how do you feel about COVID?

Do you think that we did the right thing?

You know, and they said this woman said, well, no, I don't.

I mean, I think it was all started.

It's real.

And I think it started out as doing the right thing.

And we were just trying to figure it out.

But I think it's gotten a little out of control.

And they dismissed her because that was a covert way of finding out if you are a conservative or not.

And apparently you can't be a conservative

for the prosecution.

And they talked about how that was really important.

And then they played somebody that the

defense

weeded out.

And it was somebody who said, well, I've already made up my mind

on this, but I'm open because I don't know all the facts.

So if there's new facts, I'm perfectly willing to.

And, well, do you feel that the police are

racist?

Oh, yeah, the police are racist, blah, blah, blah.

And the New York Times actually said after that, you know, Michael Bobaro, so do you think that

maybe

this figures into

a bigger statement that you could now be taken off of a jury because you believe in something that is true?

Wait a minute.

What?

Oh, police are all racist?

Is that the implication?

I mean, that was the implication that

that guy was telling the truth,

But the truth,

you know,

the defense is going to make sure that, you know, those truth tellers aren't on the jury.

But the other person that tells the truth that, you know, COVID, you know, it was a good thing, you know, what we did at the beginning, but then got out of control.

That's not truth.

That's not truth.

Amazing.

It is remarkable what's happening there.

All right.

We'll see you tomorrow.
